Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 365 The Storyteller and the Monster

Although Li Qiu gave Nanyun Old Daoist Qinghe Ningzhen Jue's follow-up skills before, and has been supplying the jade needed for practice, but Nanyun Old Daoist has already consumed more than half of his lifespan, and his own aptitude is not very high. Years ago, he failed to break through and passed away.

He has nothing to worry about in this world.

【Extraordinary】!
Li Qiu's body gradually disappeared, turning into a bright rainbow light.

A giant pillar of rainbow light pierced through the roof of the hall, soaring straight into the sky!
It can be clearly seen within a thousand miles, and those who see it are dumbfounded, thinking they are immortals.

In the [-]th year of the Great Wednesday, Zhou Tianzi, who had been invincible in the world for hundreds of years, turned into a rainbow and flew straight into the fairy world!

The deeds of Zhou Tianzi before his ascension turned into various legends, which fascinated the people of later generations.

……

Dali, Lintong County, Yangcheng.

The cold wind is like a knife, icy cold to the bone.

Ice skates, large and small, hang from the eaves on both sides of the street.

There is still snow on the road paved with bluestone slabs.

There are many street stalls on the side of the road, and the hawkers shrank their necks, put their hands in their sleeves, chattered their teeth, and spit out hot air from their mouths, yelling at passers-by.

It's a pity that the weather is cold and few pedestrians stop.

In a tea house beside the road, the scene outside the door is completely different.

In the lobby on the first floor, many tea drinkers in short shirts and cloth jackets were sitting around, drinking hot tea with rosy complexions, looking at the table in the middle of the lobby with interest, and applauding from time to time when they reached the wonderful place.

"However, the wild boar demon, with blood-red eyes, looks like two red lanterns hanging high from a distance. It is nearly ten feet tall, covered with manes, like steel needles, and its fangs are turned out like sharp knives. It is ferocious and ferocious. be terrified!……"

On the stage, behind a table, an old man was vividly telling rumors and stories that came from nowhere.

On the east side of the second floor, next to a table filled with sunflower seeds.

Sitting was a man with a slender body and a handsome appearance. His face was as sharp as a knife and an ax was chiseled. There was a sense of relaxation and comfort in his eyes, but there seemed to be a coldness hidden between his brows.

"My lord, if you like to listen to the old man Guo's books, we might as well give him more money and invite him to the mansion. Why come to this teahouse to listen to the cold wind."

The servant standing on the side suggested.

"There are bursts of applause, and this book is more interesting to listen to."

Wearing a brocade green robe, the man with an extraordinary temperament, obviously from a wealthy background shook his head.

"Give him more money to invite him back to the mansion, and let him tell me alone, don't relax, I'm afraid he won't be as good as he is now."

Someone passed by on the second floor and said hello to the man in the green robe.

"I've seen Mr. Li."

The green-robed man smiled and nodded in return.

Li Si looked at the old man Guo who was spitting and flying in the audience with an exaggerated expression, and asked again with a puzzled expression.

"My lord, I have heard a lot of young storytellers. Except for one new idea, this old man Guo's storytelling is not bad. Why do you only listen to him."

"I heard that what old man Guo said is not the previous repertoire, nor did he invent it, but an adaptation of the true story he heard in various places with the caravan when he was young."

The green-robed man laughed.

"I heard this is the truth."

At this moment in the lobby downstairs, old man Guo was talking about the fierce battle between the immortal who opened his mouth and the wild boar demon who was nearly ten feet tall, and the corner of Li Si's mouth twitched.

"My lord, do you believe this too?"

"I think the prototype of this story should be just a hunter who hunted and killed a slightly larger wild boar with oiled arrows, and he adapted it into this look with added oil and vinegar."

"Where are there any gods and monsters in the world?"

"Okay, don't talk, just listen carefully."

The green-robed man smiled and waved his hands.

"Yes."

Li Si looked serious, nodded and stepped back, straightened up and stood aside.

Li Qiu looked at the old man Guo who was beaming and narrating in the lobby on the first floor, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This time he transcended the world, he was lucky, he was reincarnated into a family surnamed Li, his family was very wealthy, and it was one of the best in the whole Yangcheng, so he never had to worry about money.

Compared with the first and second lives, the situation is much better, but it is a little worse than the previous life.

Names, gold and silver are all secondary, and the main thing is to practice exercises.

In his last life, he was exposed to the way of refining Qi early, but in this life, like the first and second lives, he has not been exposed to the cultivation system of this world for a long time.

There are also martial arts in this world. In his family, there are martial arts masters who hire and cultivate internal strength, who can release internal strength into sword energy and sword energy. From his mouth, he has learned that the strongest in martial arts can even shoot sword energy and sword energy. One hundred feet is enough to cut off streams and tear down houses.

But this is still too weak.

He doesn't believe that the real cultivation system in this world is such a weak internal force martial arts.

Since he was a child, he has never given up searching for some strange rumors about gods and monsters, hoping to get a glimpse of the world's cultivation system from them, but unfortunately he can't tell the truth from the fake, and doesn't get much useful information.

After hearing the old man Guo's rumors, he came to listen to the book a few times, and he didn't think it was a random fabrication.

For example, when Old Man Guo talked about the ferocious body of the wild boar monster, his eyes unconsciously showed a little palpitation and fear. The storyteller was able to scare himself. Obviously, either he had really seen the wild boar monster, or he was I really believe that there is such a terrifying existence as the wild boar demon in the world.

Snapped!
A piece of jujube red xingmu with a size of three inches was slapped on the table, making a loud sound, and there was a sudden silence in the hall.

"That's all for today's book. You can predict what will happen next. Please listen to the next chapter to break it down..."

The old man Guo dry-mouthed and finally said a word.

Some people in the audience quit and coaxed old man Guo to say another paragraph, but he stopped abruptly when he was talking about something exciting, which made people scratch their hearts.

"Next time, next time, I'm really tired today."

The old man Guo bowed his hands in all directions, the wrinkles on his face squeezed together to form a flower, and he replied with a smile.

After confirming that old man Guo stopped talking, applause and applause from the audience gradually rang out.

The old man Guo turned his head and stepped off the stage, walking up to a woman holding a pipa. She had a pretty face, delicate features, and a figure like a weak willow supporting the wind, which was lovable.

The applause and applause from the audience became even louder, one after another.

Standing behind Li Qiu, Li Si, who had always been lacking in interest, became interested at this moment, and his eyes lit up.

The woman sat down, holding the pipa, and was about to sing.

Li Qiu suddenly stood up from the chair, turned around and walked to the side.

"My lord, where are you going?" Li Si looked puzzled.

"Go see Old Man Guo."

"My lord, the singing is about to begin..."

Li Qiu ignored it.

"Hey, son, wait for me!"

Li Si could only look away reluctantly, shook his head and sighed, and quickly chased after him.

Backstage of the tea house.

Old man Guo took a few sips of herbal tea and was packing his things to go home.

"Backstage of the tea house, idlers are not allowed to enter."

Li Qiu stretched out his hand to open the curtain, inside there was a big man in short jacket, with a cold expression, he stretched out his hand to block the way.

A look of disdain flashed across Li Si's face behind him, he took out a dime of broken silver from his pocket, and threw it to the man casually.

"Young master, please please."

When the man got the money, he immediately smiled, nodded and bowed his head to get out of the way.

The room is not big, Li Qiu glanced around, and his eyes quickly locked on Old Man Guo.

Li Si pulled a chair, wiped it and asked Li Qiu to sit down.

After packing up his things, the old man Guo turned around and saw that there was another person behind him. He knew that he should be looking for him. Looking at his clothes, he knew that he was from a wealthy family, so he quickly smiled politely.

"Young master, do you have something to do with this old man?"

"I'm very interested in those gods and monsters you mentioned." Li Qiu's eyes were fixed.

"Those are all the old people heard from other people when they traveled with caravans to various places to do business when they were young."

"I have made some adaptations and added branches and leaves, and I will tell them to everyone, and let everyone have fun."

Old man Guo smiled.

Li Si really wanted to ask old man Guo, what is the proportion of this adaptation and additions? Is it [-]% or [-]%?

But he kept his identity in mind, didn't speak rashly, and stood aside obediently.

"You have traveled far and wide, and you have been to so many places, but have you ever seen gods and monsters with your own eyes?"

The old man Guo looked hesitant, as if he was hesitant to say what to say next.

He felt that even if he said it, the son in front of him probably wouldn't believe the "strange story" uttered by him, a storyteller.

Old man Guo pondered for a long while, but still couldn't help it, and said.

"The immortals have never seen it before, as for the monsters..."

"This old man... this old man once saw a monster!"

"Monster?" Li Qiu's eyes moved, "What kind of monster."

The old man Guo's eyes gradually became a little hollow, as if he was trapped in memories, and he experienced the events at that time, and a touch of fear gradually appeared in his eyes.

"When I was young, I followed a caravan and passed through a forest. In that forest, I saw a monster with a brown fur that was more than ten feet tall. It had a broad body like a bear, but a head like a wolf."

"A bear's body? A wolf's head?"

"At that time, there were quite a few people in the caravan, and among them were the masters of martial arts hired by the caravan. Maybe the monster was afraid of these two things, maybe it just had a full meal, and after a few glances, it turned its head and left. "

"I don't seem to have heard you say this before."

Li Si was puzzled.

"There is no beginning and no end, how do you say it?"

Old man Guo withdrew from his memories and shook his head.

"In the story I told, that monster wasn't that scary at all, but it left the deepest impression on me because I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Because of this, I have always believed that there are absolutely monsters in the world, and there should be immortals who can subdue and kill monsters compared to monsters!"

Li Qiu pondered, thoughtfully, and waved his hand.

Li Si on the side took out a dime of silver from his pocket, which weighed four or five taels, and handed it to old man Guo.

"Young master is just asking some questions, but you can't use the money."

Old man Guo was a little taken aback by Li Qiu's generous writing, and quickly waved his hands.

Li Qiu laughed.

"Thank you for your answer, it helped me a lot."

"My son rewards you, so you take it."

Li Si handed over the money again.

Old man Guo hesitated for a moment before reluctantly taking it.

"Young master, do you believe what I say?"

"of course."

Li Qiu could see that old man Guo's expression just now did not seem to be fake.

Another hesitation flashed across Old Man Guo's face.

"I heard a piece of news recently, but I dare not confirm whether it is true or not."

"But young master, it's best not to go out of the city recently, or even go out, and let the nursing home at home be more vigilant."

Li Qiu, who was about to leave, frowned when he heard old man Guo's words.

"Watch out for what?"

Now that the conversation started, Old Man Guo didn't hesitate any longer.

"I heard that a few villages outside the city suffered tragedy and many people died."

"The most important thing is that the deaths of those people are extremely miserable, as if they have been exposed to the sun for a whole month under the dog days, and their bodies are shriveled."

"The old man thinks that this is not something that humans can do, most likely it is a monster who murders people."

"Since monsters can harm people outside the city, it is not impossible for them to enter the city, so please be careful, my lord."

Li Qiu frowned, stood up and said.

"I'll keep that in mind, thank you."

"Young master, walk slowly."

Li Qiu and Li Si walked out of the tea house and sat in the spacious and warm carriage.

There is a charcoal stove in the middle of the carriage, and the precious red charcoal in the stove is slowly burning.

"Go home." Li Si yelled at the groom, and hastily put down the thick cotton curtain to keep out the cold wind.

Seeing Li Qiu's thoughtful expression, Li Si couldn't help whispering.

"My lord, are you still thinking about what old man Guo said?"

"From a small perspective, where is there any monster with a height of more than ten feet, a brown fur, a bear body and a wolf head?"

"The bear's head looks a bit like a wolf's, I'm afraid old man Guo might have misread it for a moment.

It's just an ordinary brown bear with a big size. "

Seeing that Li Qiu didn't answer, he continued.

"As for the monster outside the city, it might just be rumors. Even old man Guo himself said it. I don't know if it's true or not."

Li Qiu raised his head slowly.

"After you get home in a while, go to the yamen to inquire if there is such a thing, and say that our master asked you to go."

"If this incident is true, we may not be able to find out the specific circumstances, but it should not be difficult to know whether anyone died or how many died."

"Yes, son."
