Fengguixu

"Where have you been?" Shen Xu didn't like sweets, the sugar on the tip of his tongue made him panic, and he mumbled, "I thought you were gone."

"Where are you going?" Yu Jin laughed happily, "I haven't tried many delicious and fun things in Langya City, how could I leave so easily? Come with me, let's go eat, brother just now After some inquiries, I heard that the best restaurant here is called Xichunlou, and the sea bass and vinegar red crab made by his family are absolutely outstanding."

As he spoke, he pushed Shen Xu forward, passing through the tiles and gouges all the way.

Everything Shen Xu saw was novel. He stopped to take a look when he saw a movie player, and he stopped to watch when he saw a juggler playing bowls and bowls. Jin Huan also wants to watch it, not to mention those novel programs where animals are tamed and animals pretend to be gods and ghosts.

Yu Jinhuan didn't urge him at all, he just watched Shen Xu when Shen Xu watched the show, the more interesting he watched it.

Just judging from the expression on his face, he really couldn't tell how happy Shen Xu was. He was still so quiet, self-restraining, young and mature, compared to the laughing and bluffing spectators around him, he was like a thin green bamboo strayed into a colorful rosebush , no matter where you look at it or from what angle you look at it, it looks out of place.

But the strange thing is that Yu Jinhuan can feel that Shen Xu is happy, whether it is the broken light in his eyes or the arch of his eyebrows, they are very different from usual.

Whirling dancers around the crowd are singing—

"The long-awaited letter, the farewell is long. The long-distance hurts. The wind blows over the wine curtain, and the cold tea smoke, where is it again..."

In the music of drums and music, amidst the fragrance of clothes and shadows on the temples, Yu Jinhuan had an illusion in a trance. After all, Shen Xu and him were the same kind of person.

After such a long delay, it was not until the afternoon that Yu Jinhuan finally led Shen Xu to Dexichun Tower.

The most extravagant restaurant in the city is indeed magnificent. Once you enter the store, the colorful "Happy Gate" is carefully set up, with carved beams and painted buildings, corridors, bridges and pavilions, and embroidered brocades, showing a luxurious style.The two arrived late, and the private rooms on the two corridors beside the north and south patios were already full, so they had to sit in the courtyard.

Yu Jinhuan called the waiter and reported a bunch of dishes.

Not long after, four dishes of side dishes, four dishes of fruit, and eight-color table wine were placed on the table—one dish of smoked fish, one dish of silver belly, one dish of conch snails, one dish of vinegar red crab, and one dish of lychee Kidneys, a plate of goose with five-flavored apricot cheese, a plate of three and peach bones, and a plate of freshly served crispy crystal sea bass with ice and snow cold yuanzi.

Shen Xu looked at the table full of delicate dishes, and murmured, "Well, the two of us may not be able to eat so much."

Yu Jinhuan laughed twice, blinked his eyes, and said vaguely: "Maybe it's just the two of us now, but we won't know for sure later."

The two of them were eating when they suddenly heard the sound of tinkling cymbals.

Shen Xu stopped to look, the store clerk led two men in gray cloth gowns, one old and one young, to stand still in the hall, and said loudly: "Guests, our store has specially invited a well-known storyteller Kong Lao Liu, and his apprentice Xiao Zhang Silang, all the gentlemen are eating and drinking, and listen to what major events have happened in the Jianghu recently, what new martial arts figures have turned out, and what fights have been killed Those of you, if the listening is exciting and enjoyable, you might as well order two more jugs of wine, let's also learn from those martial arts people, drinking in big bowls and eating meat in big bowls!"

Perhaps Kong Lao Liu's skills were well-known, and small windows were set up in the two corridors, and cheers came out one after another.

After a busy meal, the guys first brought out a table made of yellow flower wood, and then a high-backed mahogany chair. After making tea and serving dried fruits, Kong Lao Liu happily sat down.He was nearly sixty years old, with gray temples, and waving a folding fan in his hand, he wrote "Bai Xiaosheng in Jianghu" in five big characters.

His apprentice Xiao Zhang Silang seemed to be about the same age as Shen Xu, with a pleasing round face and two round eyes, full of energy.

Little Zhang Silang was holding a red silk plate for asking for rewards for head wrappings, and when he opened his voice, his voice was high-pitched and clear: "Grandpa, what shall we talk about today?"

Kong Lao Liu is old and capable, but his old eyes are full of light, he said with a smile: "Today, let's talk about the alliance of righteousness."

Xiao Zhang Silang said: "Zhengqi League, what is that?"

Kong Lao Liu said angrily: "I don't even know about the Zhengqi League, and I'm ignorant! Go, go, you'd better stop learning from old Kong, go home and farm and marry a wife for three years!"

Scattered laughter came from all around.

Xiao Zhang Silang acted aggrieved: "Why, everyone knows? Is this Zhengqi League famous?"

"It's more than famous!" Kong Lao Liu fanned the folding fan in his hand, "If you listen to the people in this Zhengqi League, you will know how famous it is."

Xiao Zhang Silang asked, "Who are there?"

"Jin Luoxia, Yin Fuyao, Yulangya, and the three martial arts families needless to say. There is also the Qingyun Temple, the number one sect in the world, the Vientiane Temple where the 'Lonely Sky and the Edge is Broken, and the Four Great Monks' sits. There is even a Jiange, where the scholars have not asked about worldly affairs for a hundred years, now, are these famous names just like thunder?" Kong Lao Liu listed.

Little Zhang Silang clapped his hands and shouted: "Like thunder, like thunder! It turns out that these powerful sects gathered together to form an alliance of righteousness! I wonder what they are here for?"

"Of course we are going to do something earth-shattering!" Kong Laoliu lifted the lid of the tea bowl on the ground, blew off the foam from the tea noodles, and took a few sips of tea.

Little Zhang Silang turned his big black eyes and slapped his head: "I know! They must be working together to find bad luck for the Tianchi Demon Sect!"

"Bah! Ignorant! Can that be called looking for bad luck?" Kong Lao Liu closed his folding fan, slapped his apprentice on the head, and said angrily, "This is called eradicating rape and eradicating evil, and correcting the righteous way!"

"Yes, yes, correct and support the righteous way, correct and support the righteous way." Xiao Zhang Silang rubbed his forehead, "It's just that in recent years, the good and the evil have lived in harmony, and it has been peaceful for so long, why is it suddenly so incompatible?"

"The only thing to blame is that the Demon Sect has a new demon leader." Kong Lao Liu said, "The demon leader is surnamed Feng, and his name is Yin. Get it and kill it."

Hearing the familiar names, Shen Xu had completely forgot to eat, and concentrated on staring at the old and the young.

Yu Jinhuan picked up a piece of apricot cheese goose and put it in his bowl, and said with a smile: "If I knew you liked to listen to books, I would have taken you to Zhukukulou Teahouse. Do not eat."

Shen Xu didn't hear what he said, his ears were full of Kong Lao Liu's storytelling.

He still had a phoenix in his arms, and he thought he would return it to Feng Yin if he had the chance, so he had to pay more attention to all the news about Feng Yin.

"There are rumors that this Feng Yin is actually the illegitimate son of Sikong Zhufeng, the saint of the Demon Cult. Sikong Zhufeng is also the sister of Sikong Zhufeng, the great devil who made everyone in the martial arts world feel at risk. that is……"

"That is to say, Feng Yin is actually Sikong's nephew!" Zhang Silang cut the conversation and clapped his hands together, "Oh no, his uncle was besieged by the righteous way back then and died tragically in Bailibei. Come to seek revenge!"

"Maybe, this is what the Zhengqi League is worried about right now." Kong Lao Liu took another sip of tea, "It's up to them to worry, ordinary people like me, Lao Liu, are actually more concerned about who Feng Yin's father is. "

Gossip has been the most popular since ancient times, and I don't know how many pairs of ears are pricked up in the two corridors.

"I'm also very curious. Didn't it mean that the saints of the Demon Cult must remain virgins for life? Why did they turn into dolls again?" Little Zhang Shiro scratched his head, "Could it be that the rumors are all false, Isn't Feng Yin the son of Sikong Zhufeng at all?"

Kong Lao Liu shook his head: "I think the rumors are true. At that time, Sikong Zhufeng suddenly disappeared for no reason, just like the world evaporated. Sikong Zhufeng reappeared a few years later, and when he returned to the Devil's Cult, he was kicked out of the position of saint by her brother, there must be a reason for that."

"In the past three years, Sikong Zhufeng must have eloped with his lover, and Fengyin was also born at this time!" Xiao Zhang Silang said, "I just wonder who is this man who seduced the devil's saint?"

"Sikong Zhufeng used to be a well-known beautiful woman in the Jianghu. She was the most beautiful woman, and she could be favored by saintesses. She must have been a great person. After they had an affair, they were so deceptive and lived in isolation. Presumably it was because of the man's special status. You can't teach outsiders to know, there are eight or nine out of ten people who are righteous people." Kong Laoliu said, "Why don't we guess now?"

Xiao Zhang Silang crossed his arms: "Grandpa said so, must someone have already chosen in his heart?"

"Today we are all guessing whether it is true or false, and we can't count it. When Lao Liu said so, everyone just listened to it." After Kong Lao Liu finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, closed his eyes and fell asleep .

At the moment, the audience couldn't hold back, and they threw out rewards from the small window one after another.

"Who is it, tell me!"

"Don't hold your breath! Just wait!"

Xiao Zhang Silang held a red silk plate and gave money to everyone from under the window, making a lot of money. When he looked back, he seemed very anxious: "Oh, grandpa, you have money for tea, let's continue talking."

Only then did Kong Lao Liu open his eyes: "Just ask me to use my brain hard, and you can guess!"

"I guess... I guess it's the Grand Classmate Palace, Qiu Chaosheng Qiu Palace Master!" Xiao Zhang Silang threw out a name, and there was a "huh" from all around, and many people shouted "nonsense".

"How can you be talking nonsense? 25 years ago, Palace Master Qiu was just in his infancy. He happened to be of the right age, and he was also a personable and elegant gentleman. Moreover, he never married in his life. Maybe it was because he had a relationship with the Demon Sect when he was young. The demon girl had such a relationship, she broke her heart, and she no longer cares about the mortal world!" Xiao Zhang Silang said eloquently.

Shen Xu was thinking about who Qiu Chaosheng was, when he heard Yu Jinhuan, who was beside him, slightly opened his vermilion lips, and cursed slowly——

"fart."

Hearing this, Shen Xu cast an inquiring look, Yu Jinhuan still smiled, but Shen Xu shivered for some reason.

"No and no." Only Kong Lao Liu shook his head and vetoed, "Back then, Palace Master Qiu was studying martial arts in the Western Regions, and Mao Qinxin, the master of the Hall of Seeing Nature, and Xiao Guan, the master of the Hall of Weapons, all under his command can testify. It's too late to practice, but I don't have the leisure time to take the time to give birth to a baby. Guess again!"

"Ah, I know!" Little Zhang Shiro jumped up again.

Kong Lao Liu glanced at him: "What do you know?"

"Fengyin's father, he must be Master Shi Yuan, the abbot of Wanxiang Temple!" Xiao Zhang Silang was full of confidence this time, "Everyone in Jianghu knows that Master Shi Yuan became a monk halfway through, and he married a wife and had children before he escaped into Buddhism. I just don’t know why I broke up with my first wife and died of old age. Thinking about it this way, if this woman is Sikong Zhufeng, it would make sense. Master Shi Yuan has a benevolent heart and profound Buddha roots. Unaccustomed to the ruthless means of being a demon girl in the world, she simply lost her hair and became a monk to earn a clean six."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were passionate abuses all around him, saying that he was "bad bullshit" and that he had lost the reputation of Buddhism.

Shen Xu was just getting excited when he heard Yu Jinhuan humming and sneering twice, he felt a sudden gust of draft blowing chills down his back.

"Confused! It's true that Master Shi Yuan married a wife and had children, but that was a long time ago. At the time of Sikong Zhufeng, Master Shi Yuan was over fifty years old, so why is his interest still so strong? "Kong Lao Liu turned the handle of the fan and made a gesture to strike again.

Xiao Zhang Silang hurriedly hugged his head and wailed: "Oh, master, grandpa, please let me go, I really can't guess!"

The way he bowed and begged for mercy was so funny, and it made everyone laugh.

Kong Lao Liu felt that everyone's appetite had been raised high, and he was satisfied, so he smacked his lips: "With the little stuff in your stomach, you will definitely not be able to guess the tail next year."

"Grandpa, tell me quickly!" Little Zhang Silang roared with a crying sound.

"Hmm..." Kong Lao Liu took a sip of tea, put it in his mouth to chew slowly, and suddenly leaned forward and asked, "Do you know that there was a Qinghe sword master who ruled the world and sought defeat?"

Shen Xu thought, was this old man talking about his uncle Yan Qinghe?

"Kacha", there was a slight but abrupt sound beside him.

Shen Xu turned his head, only to see Yu Jinhuan accidentally broke the jade chopsticks in his hand, and said with a subterranean smile, "Sword Master? Hmph, that's all for bullying the world."
