Comprehensive martial arts: Qixia town storytellers, the beginning of the tie to Qiao Feng

Chapter 298 The Protagonist Group Arrives!
Seeing that everyone was a little dissatisfied, Lu Yan said immediately: "Everyone, there is a rule for storytellers, that is, the more guests come to listen to the book, the more energetic you will be for storytelling."

"By this time tomorrow, you might as well invite a few friends over."

"In this way, when I am down, I can naturally talk more."

Everyone felt a little helpless when they heard Lu Yan's words.

Speaking of storytelling and listening to books, it is really a novelty for them.

In addition, the story Lu Yan told was very exciting, so although it was only the first time listening to the book, everyone was already a little fascinated, and couldn't wait to know how the story would develop later.

Hearing Lu Yan's words at this time, he was already thinking about who would be more appropriate to invite to listen to the book tomorrow.

It would be even better if the invited friends can treat them to dinner and drinks.

At this time, someone suddenly asked: "This storyteller, the Nuwa empress you mentioned just now, what does that Nuwa mend the sky mean?"

Everyone was very interested when they heard the words, and wanted to hear how Lu Yan explained it.

Lu Yan smiled slightly and said, "Nuwa Empress is a goddess of God, born with holiness."

"At that time, Gonggong's head touched Buzhou Mountain, the sky tilted to the northwest, and the earth sank to the southeast. Nuwa picked five-color stones to fill the blue sky."

"This is the origin of the legend of Nuwa mending the sky."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Lu Yan's explanation.

It turned out that King Zhou had offended such a god with the ability to mend the sky!

This King Zhou really ate the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard!
At this time, Pao Ding suddenly came from the kitchen, and personally brought two delicacies to the table in front of Lu Yan, and asked Shi Lan to bring over a jug of wine.

"Mr. Lu...Mr. Lu, this is the food and drink I gave you, enjoy it slowly."

Lu Yan chuckled and asked, "Why is shopkeeper Ding so polite?"

Pao Ding chuckled and said, "I'm also very interested in this story, so I want to ask Mr. Lu, did King Zhou die in the end?"

Lu Yan said with a smile: "Naturally, you are dead. Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature."

Pao Ding said again: "That's not what I mean, I mean, was he slaughtered by Empress Nuwa?"

Lu Yan shook his head and replied, "I can't tell you that."

Seeing that Lu Yan didn't want to spoil it, Pao Ding was really helpless.

It seems that he wants to bribe Lu Yan, the idea of ​​knowing the ending of the story in advance is not feasible.

At this moment, Xie Zhuoyan also came down from the second floor, and Lu Yan moved out another chair that he specially made for Xie Zhuoyan, and let Xie Zhuoyan sit on it.

Xie Zhuoyan ate the delicacies brought by Cook Ding, and said: "This tastes really good."

Lu Yan chuckled and said, "He's the butcher."

Pao Ding is good at jieniu, and his skill in cooking is even more extraordinary.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the Great Qin Empire, there should be no one who cooks better food than Pao Ding.

In this way, Lu Yan and Xie Zhuoyan stayed in Youjian Inn for a long time.

Lu Yan tells stories every day. Although there are not many stories to tell, they are exciting enough.

After going back and forth, the reputation spread.

But seven or eight days later, as soon as it arrived at Si hour every day, an inn was full of guests who came to listen to books.

Pao Ding also earns a lot of money every day.

On the other hand, the waiter, Shi Lan, served food and wine non-stop every day, but she was going to be exhausted.

This day, Lu Yan finished his book and had a full meal, so he went to rest in his room on the second floor.

He was practicing kung fu cross-legged in the room, when he sensed that suddenly a group of masters came to Youjian Inn.

There was even a celestial being among them!
Sensing the arrival of these people, Lu Yan couldn't help but opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the lobby.

……

"Be careful, baby, don't fall."

"Hey, who is the baby boy!"

"You think beautiful."

"Hmph, don't forget, I'm your giant..."

"Are you talking again?"

In the inn lobby, a woman in a blue dress raised her jade flute, her eyes full of threats.

Opposite the woman, the boy in a khaki suit with a brown ponytail immediately became frightened when he saw this, and dared not say anything else.

Seeing this, everyone laughed.

The boy said very aggrieved: "Uncle, they all bullied me!"

When the boy complained, Pao Ding walked down the stairs slowly and said with a smile, "A rare guest, what a rare guest."

After hearing the words, everyone turned their heads to look at Pao Ding, and started talking about old times with Pao Ding.

Not long after, Pao Ding asked the clerks in the shop to close the door of the inn, and it will be temporarily closed today.

After everyone was seated, they also took off their disguise.

This group of people is none other than the leaders of the Mohist sect who escaped from the Mohist mechanism city not long ago and came here to join Pao Ding!
Master Ban, Master Xu, Big Iron Hammer, Gao Jianli, Robber Zhi and Xue Nu.

In addition to these Mohist leaders, there are Xiang Shaoyu, Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng, Jing Tianming and Sword Saint Gai Nie.

Just as everyone was sitting down to discuss the matter, Jing Tianming seemed to have discovered something interesting.

He got up and walked to the high platform not far away, looked at the strangely shaped tables and chairs, and asked, "Fatty Ding, what is this?"

After hearing the words, everyone looked at the set of tables and chairs with strange shapes, and their faces also showed curiosity.

Pao Ding glanced in the direction of the second floor, and said, "This is Mr. Lu's desk and chair, for storytelling."

"Speaking of which, there is something I have to tell you."

"There are still two guests in my inn. They are a couple."

When Pao Ding told everyone about Lu Yan and Xie Zhuoyan, everyone was a little surprised.

A storyteller whose identity and background are extremely mysterious?
Xue Nu whispered, "Could it be from Qin?"

Gao Jianli heard Xue Nu's words, and asked Pao Ding, "Have you checked out his details?"

Pao Ding nodded and said, "I once asked him insinuatingly, and he said that he came from the east by sea, but according to what he said, he should have come from the west."

"Also, he said that he is from Ming Dynasty and has been to Song Dynasty and Tang Dynasty before coming to our side."

"You also know that the storm in our sea is so fierce that even Mr. Gai may not be able to survive it safely."

"He's just an ordinary person, how could he get by."

When everyone heard Pao Ding's words, there was a look of thought on their faces.

They all knew something about the huge storm at sea.

There have been attempts to travel through storms, but no one has ever entered a storm and come back alive.

Even a master in the realm of heaven and man, there is no return.

It was also for this reason that they all called that storm a dead zone, which meant that no matter who entered it, they would all die.

Robber Zhi chuckled and said, "Mr. Lu, unless he is a god in the sky, how could he pass through the dead zone on the sea."

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard Robber Zhi's words.

Lu Yan's explanation to Pao Ding can be said to be full of loopholes, his origin is not simple.

Master Ban whispered: "Could it be someone from the Yin Yang family?"

The expressions on the faces of everyone became a little serious when they heard the words.

They had just suffered a loss at the hands of the Yinyang family and Liusha, and destroyed the Mohist institution city.

Now that they came here secretly, no one should know their whereabouts for the time being.

But the Yin-Yang family has always acted strangely, maybe they have expected them to come here, and then specially asked people to wait for them here.

With this in mind, everyone made eye contact and immediately decided to act first.

No matter what Lu Yan's identity is, it's right to tie Lu Yan first.

Seeing that everyone seemed to be planning to attack Lu Yan, Pao Ding quickly persuaded him, "Everyone, don't worry, I don't think this Mr. Lu is a bad guy."

Master Xu said, "Fatty Ding, are you sure?"

These people are already some of the only remaining leaders of the Mohist school.

If something happens to them here, then the whole Mo family will be finished!

Pao Ding said: "I have been observing him these days. He usually has no contact with the outside world except storytelling, and he doesn't seem to know martial arts."

"If we act rashly, what if we wrong someone?"

"And everyone can go to the secret retreat outside the city, and there will definitely be no problems there."

"Miss Rong is also there."

Hearing Pao Ding mentioning Duanmu Rong, Gai Nie's face could not help showing some subtle changes.

Robber Zhi looked at Pao Ding and said, "Old Ding, this matter concerns everyone's safety. Are you sure that person is okay?"

Pao Ding hesitated for a while, then said: "There will be no problem."

Although Pao Ding and Lu Yan didn't know each other for a long time, only seven or eight days.

But during these seven or eight days, whenever he had free time, he would chat with Lu Yan.

During this period of contact, he also had a general understanding of Lu Yan.

With his penetrating eyes, he could tell that Lu Yan was definitely not a bad person.

When everyone heard Pao Ding's words, they pondered for a moment, then Master Ban said: "In this case, we should be careful and go to the hermitage outside the city later."

The crowd nodded.

Now that they are all wounded, they really need a quiet and safe place to rest.

Jing Tianming heard everyone's conversation, and immediately came to Pao Ding's side, and asked: "Fatty Ding, what did you mean when you said that person was a storyteller?"

When mentioning storytelling, Cook Ding immediately became interested, he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this Mr. Lu is really a god-man."

"The story he told is really wonderful. If you have free time, I suggest you listen to it once."

Jing Tianming has a childlike nature and is very curious about all new things.

He chased Pao Ding and asked, "Then what is the name of the story he told?"

Pao Ding replied: "This story is called "Fengshen Yanyi". It is a story from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. It is very exciting!"

The crowd looked at each other in dismay.

Jing Tianming immediately came to Gai Nie's side and said, "Uncle, do you want to listen to the book? The story of "Fengshen Yanyi" is amazing once you hear it!"

Gai Nie shook his head, he is not in the mood to listen to books now.

Seeing Gai Nie shaking his head, Jing Tianming wanted to persuade Gai Nie again, but was held down by Gai Nie, so he had no choice but to sit down quietly.

The second floor.

Lu Yan smiled slightly when he heard the conversation in the lobby.

He didn't care about everyone's vigilance.

It is a good thing to be vigilant, especially a group of people who are fleeing, they should be more vigilant.

With these people in Sanghai, Sanghai will be the top priority in the next period of time. It seems that he picked the right place for storytelling.

……

Little Sage Village.

A tall and thin figure stood under the eaves, overlooking the sea.

He was handsome, with a mature and stable temperament. He was dressed in a brown Chinese dress with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, which was gorgeous and elegant.

His name is Fu Nian, and he is the head of this little Confucian sage village.

It is also the hope for the future of Confucianism.

"Ugh."

He sighed lightly, seemingly worried.

"Why is the senior brother in charge sighing here?"

A slightly younger figure came slowly. He was wearing a light blue gown, gentle and elegant, plain and simple, giving people a very gentle feeling.

His name is Yan Lu, he is Fu Nian's second junior brother, and he is also the second master of this little Shengxian village.

Fu Nian glanced back at Yan Lu and said, "Junior brother, Sanghai is not peaceful recently."

Yan Lu asked: "Brother Sect Leader is talking about frequent transfers of the Qin army?"

Fu Nian nodded and said: "Not only that, the port is blocked for no reason, and Li Si is about to visit. The arrival of these people is not a good thing."

Yan Lu smiled lightly and said, "We Confucians only need to do our own thing well, why should we care about other things?"

Fu Nian sighed, and said helplessly, "When will you change your attitude of being indifferent to everything?"

Yan Lu said with a smile: "Brother Sect Leader should worry less about these things. If you have time to think about these things, it's better to go to an inn and listen to books."

"I went there yesterday, and the story Mr. Lu told is really wonderful."

Fu Nian frowned slightly.

In the past few days, Lu Yan's reputation has spread in Sanghai.

Many people know that a magical storyteller came to an inn, and he was telling stories about Shang and Zhou, and he told them wonderfully.

But Fu Nian just heard about it and didn't pay too much attention to it.

He didn't expect Yan Lu to go to an inn to listen to books.

If you have time to listen to books, wouldn’t it be good to read more sage books?

Seeing that Fu Nian was about to blame himself again, Yan Lu quickly said: "He also went to the ovary secretly."

Hearing that Yan Lu said that Zhang Liang also went to an inn to listen to books, he couldn't help frowning even more.

Yan Lu persuaded: "Senior brother, there are some things that you should actually relax a little bit, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Fu Nian shook his head and said: "Stop talking about this, the time is almost up, let's go to welcome the distinguished guests."

……

In front of the small sage village.

The three Qilu heroes headed by Fu Nian appeared at the same time to welcome the distinguished guests from Xianyang.

Qin Xiang Li Si.

Li Si was dressed in a dark blue dress with an extraordinary demeanor.

This time I came to visit Xiaoshengxian Village, mainly because of Ying Zheng's order.

Fu Nian stepped forward and said to Li Si: "I don't know that there is an honored guest coming, and I have lost my way to welcome you. Please forgive me."

Li Si smiled slightly and said, "I came here this time mainly to visit an old friend."

An old friend?

Fu Nian heard the words and asked: "I don't know who the old man the prime minister said?"

Li Si replied, "It is Master Xun."

Li Si once worshiped Xunzi as his teacher to study, and has always been a disciple of Xunzi.

Now that I have come to Xiaoshengxian Village, I naturally want to pay my respects to this master.

Since Li Si wanted to visit Xunzi, Fu Nian naturally had no objection.

Soon, Fu Nian took Li Si to the outside of the bamboo forest where Xunzi devoted himself to retreat.

But when Li Si asked to see Xunzi, he was rejected by Xunzi.

And Xunzi's reasons for refusing made Li Si's face even more ugly.

Xunzi actually said that he did not have a disciple named Li Si, but only one disciple named Han Fei!

If it was normal, Li Si would naturally back down when faced with Xunzi's words.

But today is different, he came with the order of Ying Zheng, and he must meet Xunzi!
"Please also tell Master Xun that this disciple came here with His Majesty's order, and he must see Master Xun no matter what."

Xunzi can deny him as a disciple, but he absolutely cannot deny Xunzi as his master.

So now he has no choice but to lift Ying Zheng out.

I hope Xunzi can see Yingzheng's face and meet him.

However, Xunzi's answer disappointed Li Si once again.

Even if it was Yingzheng's face, Xunzi didn't want to give it.

He even said something like "The time spent meeting you is worse than listening to books".

Faced with Xunzi's rejection again, Li Si had no choice but to back down.

Only in this way, he would not be able to judge Xunzi's current martial arts realm!
It turned out that since Yingzheng heard the prophecy of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi from the Moon God, he had been looking for the whereabouts of the real immortals in the Great Qin Empire.

It's just that the Great Qin Empire has a large population, so it is not easy to find a true immortal.

So Ying Zheng handed over this matter to Li Si.

Li Si thought very simply, true immortals would not fall from the sky for no reason.

Therefore, it must be the virtuous and respected senior who has achieved success in cultivation and stepped into the real fairyland from the realm of heaven and man.

Therefore, as long as he visits those highly respected seniors who can no longer live in seclusion, he will definitely be able to find true immortals.

And because of the Sanghai incident, he made Xunzi the first person to visit.

It's just that he didn't expect that because of Han Fei's death, Xunzi would refuse to see him.

Even if he raised Ying Zheng, it was useless.

Just when Li Si was thinking about these things, Zhang Liang and Yan Lu were whispering.

"What did the little boy just say? Uncle Master also listens to books?"

"I think Uncle Master is also very curious about Shang and Zhou affairs."

"Isn't that a story about gods and demons?"

"But what he said about King Zhou is not all wrong."

When Zhang Liang and Yan Lu were talking, Fu Nian and Li Si who were walking in front could hear what they said very clearly.

Fu Nian turned around and warned the two with his eyes.

Li Si said flatly: "After I came to Sanghai, I heard that a storyteller came to Sanghai recently, and he told stories about gods and demons in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. It's very interesting."

Speaking of which, Li Si asked Fu Nian again: "It is said that this person has a good literary talent, is he a Confucian disciple?"

Fu Nian shook his head and said, "There is no such disciple in Confucianism."

Li Si asked again: "How would Mr. Fu Nian evaluate this person?"

Fu Nian pondered for a while, and replied: "The heretics, if you have time to listen to these weird stories about gods and demons, it's better to read more books of sages."

Fu Nian wanted to carry forward Confucianism and was extremely proud.

He doesn't like anything other than Confucianism, especially useless novels about gods and demons.

Li Si nodded slightly and said, "At first I wanted to see the truth, but since Mr. Fu Nian commented so much, then it's worth noting."
