Zongwu: My Proficiency Panel

Chapter 95 Storytellers

Inside the inn, there was a lot of people. When Ning Xiu and the others arrived, the second floor was booked, and the first floor was almost full. Only the seven or eight tables in the middle were still unoccupied, but the tables were all posted with "Xia Fu Ding" "Wuguan Ding" and other red notes.

Bai Lao whispered to Liu Tongwu and Xu Hanliang: "Be low-key and don't cause trouble."

Both of them nodded.

Apart from the weapons they brought, they were all dressed like ordinary knight-errants. Ning Xiu even wore a human skin mask to hide his face. No one cared when they entered the inn.

Liu Tongwu looked at it for a long time, but had nowhere to stay, so he gave a little money in his sleeve for sitting, and arranged four seats.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the empty high platform. After the four of Ning Xiu and his party shared the table with the other four, Ning Xiu asked and found out that today a well-known storyteller is going to tell a story, so there are so many people .

Snapped!
A man dressed plainly came out from behind the scenes, clamped the gavel between his middle fingers, lifted it gently, then paused in the air for a while, and then plummeted down, all the audience was silent.

At this time, two people also appeared on the high platform, one was Xiaoer and the other was a blind man. Xiaoer took the stool and put it down, sat the blind man down, and handed the erhu to him.

Ning Xiu looked at the storyteller, and suddenly heard someone say: "This storyteller is really grand, there are so many people cheering for a story."

Another person replied: "Are you a foreigner? Mr. Wu can speak the way, and he is upright. People from all over the world admire him. You will know it as soon as you hear it, so there is no need to elaborate."

After a while, a group of people who reserved seats also came. They were dressed in different clothes and dressed as ordinary people, and several groups bowed to each other. They should be local powerful and famous families.

When everyone had arrived, the storyteller cleared his throat and said loudly: "The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. Every living person leaves one behind, and thinking about it breaks one's heart."

The storyteller knocked on the wooden board a few times and said: "This poem is about the fact that after wars and wars, every household has turned into a pile of bones, and there are no people living in thousands of miles."

"Today I'm going to talk about "Qin Fu Yin"."

As soon as the storyteller finished speaking, a young master from a wealthy family murmured softly, "Mistress? Are you talking about an affair today?"

"Ouch!"

A serious middle-aged man knocked on him behind him, "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't listen to me telling you to study hard all day, you'll just make jokes like this."

The boy was scolded and dared not speak up.

Then I heard the voice of the storyteller, echoing the sound of the erhu, "In the third month of spring in the year of Zhonghe, outside Luoyang city, a hundred flowers were in full bloom. But there were no pedestrians in the fields, so there was no dust.

Looking all the way, I suddenly saw a woman resting under the poplar tree.

Her hair is fluffy, her sideburns are disheveled, her brows are frowned, and her face is gloomy.I asked the girl where she was from.Before the girl answered, her voice sobbed.Then he turned around and said to me: I came here because of the turmoil of the soldiers.I have been occupied in Chang'an City for three years, and I still remember the situation there.If you are willing to unsaddle and dismount for me and rest here for a while, I can also stop for a while and tell you about my experience. "

The storyteller's voice was loud and full of air, and he made some movements with his hands. Everyone was silent and listened silently.

"Black clouds overwhelm the city, bright clouds are bleak, the sun sets cold and white, God is speechless and empty. Clouds are dizzy and encircled, eunuchs are like blood-colored meteors. Purple air moves with the emperor's seat, and demon light shoots darkly at the stars. "

The storyteller’s expression became more solemn, and his voice was also low: “There is a beautiful woman in Dongcheng. She was pulled up by a military chariot as soon as she finished drawing her eyebrows. I stepped on the carved saddle and was taught how to ride a horse. Sometimes when I saw my husband on the horse, I didn’t dare to look back, and there was nothing but tears.”

"The girl from Xicheng looks like a fairy on the [-]th, her eyes are as gentle as autumn water, and she is dressed like Gu Jinglian.

The leader of the army looked over with a pair of triangular eyes, and saw that the girl was born beautiful, so he jumped into her house, bare chested and backless, and tried to insult her with all his hands and feet.Because she refused to obey, she was separated by the villain with a knife... Alas, it was exactly: a girl with a beautiful face, a beautiful face, a beautiful face, and a beautiful face. "

He said a paragraph, sang a paragraph, accompanied by the passionate and shrill erhu sound, only to hear everyone grit their teeth and sigh angrily.

The storyteller took a sip of tea and continued to talk about the cruel reality of "you still let wood veneer be eaten in the kitchen, and human flesh is chopped up on the yellow nest machine", and the decline of the dynasty that "burned the inner treasury to splendid ashes, and the sky street was trampled to the bone".

When the storyteller finished speaking, everyone was filled with emotions, feeling that there was a breath of air in their chests, and the anger was accumulated in it.

The storyteller said again: "All the judges, as the saying goes, there is a god standing three feet above the head, and people are watching the sky. People who do a lot of evil will go to hell and receive eighteen severe punishments. People who are good will go to heaven and be supreme." But the Mongol Tartars are ambitious, uniting with the barbarians to repeatedly violate the frontier, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of crimes.

The tragedies that the women of the Qin land saw, there were thousands of tens of thousands of places on the border, and it was commonplace that there were frozen bones on the road and corpses in sight, and it was not new anywhere.

Our soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty strictly guarded the city and killed the enemy in blood.

The sage is benevolent, unable to bear the suffering of the common people, and ordered to recruit people from the southern rivers and lakes to resist foreign enemies.In the north, Guo Daxia leads the masters of the rivers and lakes, serving the country and the people, loyal and sincere.

But there is no one in the south who is willing to lead the best masters in the rivers and lakes to help out like the hero Guo, which is really embarrassing.

The villain Wu Fan, serving the judges today, is a long poem called "Qin Fu Yin", the words are clear, and the right is to end the scene. "

Wu Fan patted the gavel for a while, and someone held out a plate.

Then someone took out two coins and silver, put them into a wooden tray, and got a full tray in an instant.Wu Fan thanked him, put the money in his pocket, got up and left.

After the storyteller had finished speaking, it was everyone's home court, and each table was divided into threes and fives, chatting one after another.

Someone praised Guo Daxia, saying that he is really an upright hero, and all the listeners nodded in agreement.

The man talked about Li Yun again, and spoke ill of him, Xu Hanliang and Liu Tongwu frowned, Xu Hanliang was about to get up, but Bai Lao held him down.

"Have you forgotten what I said? I'm going to wait for something important, rest here overnight, buy dry food and then leave... There are at least 30 people in that group, don't make trouble."

Xu Hanliang stared angrily, looked carefully at each one, then lowered his head again, and ate something.

Liu Tongwu looked at Ning Xiu, wanting to hear what he meant.

Ning Xiu said: "People in the world only know what's on the outside but don't know what's inside. It's really ridiculous. Don't they know that disaster comes from their mouth?"

After speaking, he served Xu Hanliang food, which made Xu Hanliang flattered. Although he was a martial artist, he was born as a gangster in the city, and he acted recklessly.

At this moment, Ning Xiu looked at Bai Lao.

Bai Lao said with a smile: "What you said is very true."

Several people stayed on the first floor for another two minutes, most of the listeners dispersed, the four of them went up to the second floor, Ning Xiu paid for it, and ordered some delicious dishes for Xu Hanliang and Liu Tongwu.

Xu Hanliang shouted: "The shop owner pours wine in a big bowl, impatient to eat this small bowl!"

Bai Lao yelled: "There is no etiquette, don't shout, just eat and drink, don't disturb Yaxing."

But Ning Xiu ordered the bartender: "Give this person a big bowl, and the other three will use wine glasses."

Xu Hanliang said happily: "It's still rare...brother understands me."

Liu Tongwu glared at Xu Hanliang, and then he hastily changed his words and said nothing wrong.

Then a few people started to eat, they had Xue Dan and Bigu Dan in their bodies, eating vegetables at this time was just to satisfy their appetite, so they didn't eat much.

But Xu Hanliang ate and drank, chewed his bones.

Ning Xiu drank slowly, and then called the bartender: "My brother is probably hungry, you go and cut ten catties of meat, and you get a share of the money."

But the bartender has always had a bad impression of these arrogant Jianghu people like them. Seeing that Ning Xiu and the others were dressed in ordinary clothes, he looked at Xu Hanliang and said, "The little man's shop only sells mutton. Do you want any other big meat? You want fat sheep."

In the Song Dynasty, mutton was considered the most important food, and most dignitaries and dignitaries ate mutton, but this shop is big and the business is also big, so it naturally sells mutton.

Xu Hanliang was furious when he heard this, splashed the soup all over the bartender, and picked him up like a chicken with one hand, "Grandpa, I have money, what about mutton? Can I, Xu Han, afford it?"

Xu Han is his real name, and the master who taught him martial arts hoped that he would change his previous attitude after he became a disciple, so he added the word "good" after Xu Han.

"Grandpa, please forgive me, the younger one is wrong, wrong."

The aura of a congenital warrior erupted all of a sudden, making the bartender go limp from fright, and tremblingly admitted his mistake.

"That's enough, it's a shame that you do something disrespectful all day long."

Seeing this, Ning Xiu and Liu Tongwu didn't respond immediately. Bai Lao stopped Xu Hanliang and scolded him a few words. Ning Xiu came out to smooth things over, took out money, and asked the bartender to cut the meat first.

The bartender seemed to run away after serving ten catties of mutton. Each person received three catties of mutton, and Ning Xiu evenly distributed his portion to Xu Hanliang.

But Xu Hanliang only cared about eating meat, and within a short while put all his five catties of meat into his stomach.

While the four of them were drinking, they chatted about some things again. Just as they were talking happily, they saw a woman, twenty-eight years old, wearing a gauze dress with visible waist, who came to her and said four blessings deeply.

The owner of the store also came, and he cupped his hands and said: "Four heroes, just now the young man in the store has no eyesight and offended you all, so the villain invited this little lady to sing a song to cheer you up, and hope for Haihan."

Ning Xiu smiled and said: "That's fine, it was just a misunderstanding just now, since the store has intentions, I won't pursue anything."

Liu Tongwu and Bai Lao also nodded, but Xu Hanliang snorted coldly and continued to eat meat.

The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, and stayed behind the singing girl.

But Xu Hanliang thought, he finally got Ning Xiu's approval, and before he could say a few words, the shopkeeper brought a woman singing and performing arts to disturb him, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

"The gold powder has not disappeared, smelling the fragrance of the Six Dynasties, and the tobacco all over the world is heartbreaking... Ah!"

"What bird song are you singing!"

The little lady's voice was like an oriole, and she sang a piece of music. After the first two lines, Xu Hanliang was so angry that he stood up suddenly, and with a light twirl of his fingers, the woman suddenly fell to the ground, her face pale.

"This!"

The shopkeeper was shocked, and suddenly heard a gust of wind, and was startled, but saw that the beating villain was stopped by his fellow travelers, the slap was so huge, if it was slapped on him...

"What are you doing again!"

Liu Tongwu stopped Xu Hanliang, but Bai Lao stepped forward and angrily reprimanded Xu Hanliang.

Xu Hanliang looked down at the woman and said: "I just rubbed my fingers and then fell down - I have never seen such a delicate woman, even if I asked her to punch me a hundred or a thousand punches in the face, a certain family didn't say a word. "

Hearing this, all three of them laughed.

Ning Xiu went to help the singing girl, and found that her life was not in danger, then used her true energy to wipe away the big bump on her forehead, and woke her up, "Don't be afraid, my brother just now Whether it's serious or not, you take the money first, and it should be my apology from Guiyuanmen."

"Guiyuanmen... I haven't thanked this master yet." The shopkeeper heard the words "Guiyuanmen" and hurriedly called the singing girl who had just woken up to thank him.

After the singer stabilized her body, she quickly kowtowed and thanked: "...Okay, okay, thank you, sir, you are blessed and safe."

……

Late at night, the four of Ning Xiu lived in four rooms, and Bai Lao came to Ning Xiu's room.

"Young master, then Xu Hanliang is a rogue, reckless, and can't get on the stage. It's probably useless to recruit him."

But Ning Xiu said: "You said he acted recklessly, but I think he has a real temper."

"True temperament? Hehe, yes, yes."

Elder Bai is also an old man, he stroked his beard and understood Ning Xiu's intentions.

People like Xu Hanliang have enough martial arts and low offline skills. If they are a little shrewd, they are good fighters.

Boom boom boom!
"Here we come." Ning Xiu glanced at Bai Lao and went to open the door again.

I saw a man with big arms and round waist, dressed in black, carrying a bundle wrapped in black cloth, standing at the door, it was not Xu Hanliang.

When he saw Ning Xiu, he said, "Let's see, young master."

After that, Xu Hanliang opened the bag, and there was a fishy smell - there was a human head with wide-eyed eyes inside, and a dozen tongues, bloody underneath.

"What is this? Come in and tell."

Ning Xiu knew that the head belonged to today's storyteller, but he didn't know where there were so many tongues, so he hurriedly let Xu Hanliang into the room and closed the door.

Xu Hanliang scratched his head: "Hey hey, young master, this storyteller is bewitching the crowd with his nonsense words, which has caused me to return to the Yuanmen's reputation. In the face of life and death, he is also a piece of crap, and the words of those people below are also pissing me off, subordinates." Angry, he arrested a dozen or so and killed them all.

But please rest assured, Young Master and Elder Bai, I will do everything cleanly and will not leave anything behind. "

After being silent for a while, Ning Xiu suddenly gave off a sense of power, and Xu Hanliang killed more than a dozen people without blinking, and then plopped down on his knees in disguise.

"Chief... a certain family is really clean and clean, no one will doubt..."

Before he could say anything, a sharp knife was already on his neck, and the cold light made him terrified.

Ning Xiu said slowly: "Do you still recognize me?"

"Chief, that guy insulted the sect master first, so I... this is it!"

Before he finished speaking, he began to kowtow vigorously, and within a short while he was bleeding.

Ning Xiu closed his eyes for a while, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Xu Hanliang hurriedly replied: "If you say it hurts, it hurts, and if you say it doesn't hurt, then continue knocking."

"It's better to have a headache than to lose it. If you don't listen to the greeting, it won't hurt next time."

"The chief is right." Xu Hanliang wiped the blood from his forehead, "This subordinate is planning to keep his head for drinking. If it is cut off, there will be nowhere to drink."

Hearing this, Bai Lao shook his head and said with a smile: "You bastard!"

　I'm asking for investment, I'm still [-] people away from getting a small recommendation, and I can't find anyone. . .
