Storytelling is still happening in the teahouse now, but it is no longer as lively as before.
As for the teahouse manager and waiter, they were already hiding behind the counter, shivering.
What's going on today? Where are all these vicious people from the world?
Judging from the fact that each of them has a sword on their body, they are not easy to mess with.
Fortunately, there were men from the Cao Gang all around, walking around on the street, which made the shopkeeper feel relieved a little.
Although the Cao Gang is a gang, they are different from gangs in other cities.
To be more specific, this is not a gang at all, but an external government agency that ensures order.
Maybe people who are new to Yongcheng don't understand what's different here. After all, Caobang also charges protection fees.
However, this is the real protection fee.
As long as they pay the protection fee, anyone who dares to mess around is going against the Cao Gang.
However, I don't know that these gangsters have various martial arts skills, so I am afraid that they will fight.
At that time, even if the Cao Gang came to help and stopped their fighting, he would still suffer losses.
As for asking them to compensate?
Forget it, your life is at stake.
Although the teahouse is not as lively as before, after all, how many ordinary people dare to come in when they see this group of people?
However, the voices of these people in the world are not quiet, and they can be heard talking loudly.
Although I couldn't understand the level of martial arts they were talking about, the location of the incident, and whether it really existed, all the words were condensed into three words.
Bragging.
The storyteller is currently sitting on the high platform of the teahouse, trembling a little, but with professionalism, he is still telling the story seriously.
"It is said that in Qiantang Mansion, there was a poor and humble servant named Lin Sheng. He was not very good-looking, but he became a rich man in Zhu Mansion and escaped from poverty.
And because the Zhu family was a wealthy family, he loved his daughter very much, so he supported his son-in-law and opened a cloth shop.
After that, the Miss Zhu family gave birth to Lin Sheng, two sons and one daughter. She can be said to be a wise wife, a wise son, and a happy family.
But who would have known that there would be unforeseen circumstances, and a fire broke out among the servants in Lin Sheng's house, and his wife and children were all killed in the sea of fire.
Lin Sheng was left alone to survive in the world. From then on, his hair was disheveled and his face looked haggard, he went to and from the temple, making people feel pity for him.
In his loneliness, Lin Sheng changed all the clothing stores he and his wife had run yesterday into children's clothing, crying like a child.
"Now that my wife and children are gone, I would like to use my home cloth to comfort the spirits in heaven. I hope that all the children in the world will be free from disaster and pain by wearing my clothes."
As soon as these words came out, the man really sighed and the woman shed tears. What a loyal and kind man.
At this time, Lin Sheng expressed his sadness: "Today, I am deeply saddened. We have set up a special fund. All the proceeds from the children's clothes in the village will be used for those whose families are suffering from the fire..."
In an instant, the children's clothes were sold out.
From then on, Lin Sheng's reputation as an infatuated man became known to everyone in the world, and everyone praised him as a real man.
A few years later, Lin Sheng was finally reborn from the misery. He was no longer haggard, he was white and fat, and his body was in good shape.
He even confessed that he had come out of the shadows again, married a wife and had a daughter again, and sighed: "My daughter is back again, God bless her."
Everyone gathered around to congratulate him, good people will eventually be rewarded.
At this time, Lin Sheng's brother, whose wife had died, was a Taoist who had returned from studying. He was wearing a Taoist robe, and between his pupils was the celestial eye that could recognize people.
Seeing that Lin Sheng didn't look like a human being, he hurriedly did something like this: "It's so bold and strange to paint a picture, why don't you reveal your true colors quickly?"
Lin Sheng's face turned pale, his body shrank with a scream, and an evil spirit appeared, with a painted skin covering his body.
Everyone was shocked and frightened, Lin Sheng was actually an evil ghost!
Everyone can't help but feel embarrassed when they recall the evil ghost's actions before. In front of others, we are crying about the old man, while behind others, we are busy creating humans. We actually applaud, which is really shameful."
When the storyteller said this, he was stunned.
"This can be said to know the person but not the heart. It is difficult to paint the skin of a person!"
(The more I think about this case, the more terrifying it becomes. People’s hearts, let’s use the novel to sigh.)
Hearing this, several Jianghu people couldn't help but cheer, and a few even cursed on the spot.
If he had been present, Lin Sheng would have been torn into pieces.
After that, the storyteller left in a hurry, and the teahouse owner did not stop him. It was true that these charlatans were too vicious.
At this moment, a knife was slapped on the table, startling the shopkeeper.
"fart!"
It turned out that the burly men from two tables next door started to argue.
The tea road shopkeeper looked pale.
What a disaster.
The people from the Cao Gang outside the door had been staring at them for a long time, and when they heard the noise, they rushed in immediately.
However, they did not take action, so the Caobang gang members just stood aside at the moment.
I saw a strong man with a horse-faced face, and when he saw the Caogang people rushing in, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.
The gangs in Yongcheng are also very weak.
All of them are rookies who have just started practicing Nei Qi. He is a person who has quickly entered the realm of innateness.
This time, he just wanted to take advantage of the sudden change in Yong City to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.
Originally, he didn't want to cause trouble today, but the fat guy next door was so ignorant that he actually made fun of his elder brother.
Thinking about their Black Tiger Village, that man is also a man with a strong voice in the green forest. How could he be used as a stepping stone?
Is it tolerable or not?
Immediately, the knife came out and he slapped the table. The horse-faced man had a stern look on his face.
But the fat man was also not to be outdone.
They are both at their peak the day after tomorrow, so I’m so scared!
If he backs down and loses the face of being in the world, then he doesn't have to do it anymore.
However, as soon as the Caobang people came in, he immediately restrained himself a lot.
Caobang Cao Rong was not someone he could offend.
Even if he is his backer, he probably would not dare to offend Cao Rong easily.
I am not like these country bumpkins from Black Tiger Village. I don't know Cao Rong's reputation and only play tricks on their one acre of mountain land.
As soon as the Caobang gang came in, the fat man immediately clasped his fists, smiled, and sat down quietly.
The horse-faced man sneered when he saw this. He was a coward and immediately drank a large bowl of wine, feeling very happy in his heart.
At this time, two elegant scholars happened to enter the teahouse.
As soon as the Caobang gang members were about to salute, one of the young men stopped them with their eyes.
Others just glanced at the two scholars and immediately stopped caring.
These two are just ordinary people, and I'm afraid they can't stop a fist as big as a casserole.
But then, everyone's ears were perked up, and they were all listening quietly to the conversation of the two scholars.
"Brother Liang, you also know that my grandfather is a civil servant in the county government. I heard some news today. Did you know that the vision last night was unusual?"
"What's unusual? The faint light under the moonlight should be an accidental phenomenon. Is there any other explanation for this?"
The other scholar nodded.
"Yes, my grandfather said that this is a great blessing. It's a pity that we are not martial arts practitioners, so there is no great benefit."
"So what do you mean?"
"You are so powerful and confused, but what happened last night was really not simple.
My grandfather said that this was some kind of spiritual energy mutation, but he didn’t know the specifics.
However, I heard that as long as those who practice martial arts can seize this opportunity, they may be able to soar into the sky."
Hearing this, the eyes of the warriors around him lit up.
In fact, many people have only heard the rumors, and they really don’t know the details.
However, martial arts students, when faced with such news, no matter whether it is true or false, will probably flock to it.
"Okay, tell me what's going on."
When the people around him heard this, they were full of admiration. The scholar was very knowledgeable.
"Listen to what my grandpa said, there must be treasures in this place where the visions of heaven and earth appear.
And treasures naturally belong to the virtuous.
What does it mean to be a virtuous person? Where the treasure appears, something strange will happen.
And those who can overcome the strange are naturally virtuous."
When people around the world heard this, their blood almost boiled.
Those who practice martial arts do not feel that they are the proud ones of heaven.
At this time, another scholar suddenly realized something.
"I see, no wonder the city guard next door to me jumped three levels yesterday.
I heard that he participated in relieving Yashan’s strange mission, and his cultivation level directly went from the first level of the day after tomorrow to the fifth level of the day after tomorrow. It turns out that’s what happened. It seems that your grandfather didn’t lie to you."
"That is."
When the scholar heard the compliment, his face glowed, and then he seemed to react.
"From what you said, you didn't believe me before."
Another scholar quickly bowed and begged for mercy.
The fat man and the horse-faced man stood up at the same time. At this time, they didn't care about their grudges, and their eyes were rolling around.
At this moment, the scholar sighed again.
"But we don't have to think about it. I've heard that weird things are happening outside the city these days. We have thin arms and legs, so it's better not to get involved."
"Yeah, look, those city guards have gone out. How could they be so active before?
If they hadn't left, things wouldn't be like this today. Didn't you see that everyone in the Cao Gang is now arrogantly taking to the streets?"
At this point, people in the world couldn't help but be stunned.
No wonder Yong City is different from our own city. Caobang Gang members dare to patrol the streets so openly. It turns out to be this reason.
It's not that the Cao Gang is powerful, it's just that the city guards have left the city to look for opportunities.
Thinking of this, they couldn't stay any longer. They all found excuses, paid their bills, and left.
At the end, in the empty teahouse, the two scholars looked at each other and smiled.
"Fang Xiu, your acting skills are pretty good."
Well, this guy is no worse than me, the Blue Star Oscar winner.
Yes, these two scholar-looking men are none other than Fang Xiu and Liang Du.
After discussing the situation in Yongcheng last night, Liang Du had an idea and came up with this method.
It is better to block the situation than to clear it up. At this moment, it is better to divert the attention of the people in the world and divert them away from the city to reduce the disturbance in the city.
Secondly, under the changes in heaven and earth, many strange things will indeed happen within the scope of Yong City.
These people in the world are at least in the acquired realm, with strong Yang Fire. Let them deal with ordinary strange births, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
When Fang Xiu heard Liang Du's compliment, he quickly said he didn't dare, and then climbed up the pole.
"Brother Liang, since you are so satisfied with my performance, why not just tell me the current whereabouts of my master."
Hearing this, Liang Du's face turned dark.
Your master is a magic stick, how could I possibly know his whereabouts?
Thinking of this, Liang Duli ignored Fang Xiu and walked out of the teahouse directly.
This kid starts rambling as soon as he is free, and he really can't stand it.
It seems that I have to find a way to get rid of him, otherwise I won't have any peace of mind.
Just then, a member of the Cao Gang ran towards the county government office panting and bumped into them.
"Senior Brother Fang, Liang... is in charge."
Everyone in the gang blushed, and finally they managed to hold back the name Liang Du.
Being a handyman at the Sutra Pavilion is considered a steward, right?
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
The gang members looked pale and frightened.
"Something happened in Hexi Town."
As the gang members narrated, Fang Xiu and Liang Du's expressions were no longer relaxed, but solemn.
A thousand households in a village disappeared inexplicably?
And that night, someone was still harvesting the late autumn rice, but not a single villager was seen the next day?
This was a strange incident that the mayor of Hexi Town encountered when he was inspecting the grain collection situation in his jurisdiction, and he reported it immediately.
The police in the city went to Hexi Town early in the morning to check, but found no one.
Everyone in this village is missing and the whole village is silent.
After the Cao Gang got the news, they immediately sent people to report back to Cao Gang leader Cao Rong.
Starting last night, both the county government and the Cao Gang have issued new orders, that is, whenever something strange is discovered, they must report it in time.
After all, now that the secret land is about to open, the county government and the Caobang cannot take any situation lightly.
Liang Du nodded at this time, and immediately said to the other party: "Something happened, I'll go take a look first, and you go tell Lao Du this."
As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone could reply, Liang Du left quickly.
On the one hand, Liang Du wanted to cut leeks and didn't want to miss the weirdness. On the other hand, he just wanted to get rid of Fang Xiu.
This kid is so persistent that he has always been thinking about his magic stick master. How could he know his whereabouts?
Fang Xiu didn't think much at this time and went straight out of the city, preparing to go to the City God's Temple.
Now Du Zhishan needs to be informed of any disturbance in the city, just in case.
After they left, under the wall of vendors next to the teahouse, an old beggar was curled up on the ground.
