Yu Sheng took out a handful of wild wild jujubes from his pocket and said, "Come on, come on, don't cry, brother will let you eat something delicious."
"It's a shame." All the folks present said in unison.
The little grandson stopped crying. After taking a look at the jujubes in Yu Sheng's hand, he felt it was not worth it, so he continued to cry.
Yu Sheng put a jujube in his mouth and said, "Your uncle and I just picked it. It's very sweet. If you don't eat it, you won't have a chance."
The jujubes were indeed sweet and crisp, and they were also very big, as big as half an apple in my previous life. This made me feel for the first time in my life that some places in the other world were quite good.
The little grandson stopped crying. After taking a look at Yu Sheng, he took out a bigger and redder jujube from his pocket, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
"..." Yu Sheng looked at the palm of his hand that he had just boasted about, and now he felt a little embarrassed compared to the much shabby jujube.
He played with his little grandson's head and said in an elder's tone: "You brat, you've learned badly."
After saying that, he did not forget to take out a jujube from his grandson's pocket, bite it in one bite, and decisively throw away the one in his palm.
At this time, Zhou Jiuzhang and three others came out with their horses. They immediately took two bamboo rats with them, handed over to Yu Sheng and the others, and then headed east of the town.
After all this work, the drum in front of the door rang again, and the blind man sat behind the drum with a broken drum in front of him.
Different from the drums seen in the previous life, the drums in the other world have different timbres due to the different animal skins they are covered with.
The most miraculous thing is the dragon skin drum. It is said that when this drum is beaten, it can make all the dragons under the horned dragon tremble with fear.
Now this drum only exists in legends, and the world does not know its whereabouts. Many people believe that it sank in the deep sea of the Arctic along with the fairy mountains overseas.
The drums behind the dragon skin drum each have their own merits.
The most powerful one in the world is the Kui drum, which is made from the skin of the Kui ox, a mythical beast, and its bones are used as drumsticks. When this drum is beaten, it can resound five hundred miles away, commanding the world.
The one that is most pleasing to the ear is the mythical beast Lu Shupi. There is only one side in the world, one is said to be in Kunlun, and the other is said to be in Penglai.
Of course, the blind man's drum is not that precious. It is just an ordinary cowhide drum, so when you beat it, it makes a low "moo" sound.
For the rest of his life, he heard it and felt that it was his big buffalo calling him, so he went back to give it a handful of fodder and even threw in a few green vegetables.
When he came out, Yu Sheng held a kitchen knife in his hand and held a piece of radish, which is also a big radish.
The radish is grown by the folks in the town, and they sell it to the inn when they don't have enough to eat at home.
Yu Sheng had cooked radish and other dishes many times before, but because he cooked them half-cooked, which was very bad for the air, he later made less of them, and a lot of them were piled up in the warehouse.
But now there is no need to worry about consuming it. Although it is hidden in the warehouse, the donkey will get in there every now and then to grab one as a snack.
Practicing knife skills is not about carving radish flowers, but practicing cutting vegetables.
Cao'er saw him practicing knife skills and listening to books, and said: "Be careful when you cut your hands. I don't want to add vegetables at night."
"Then you are worrying too much." Yu Sheng said proudly, "I have been able to multitask since I was a child."
"Bragging." Cao'er didn't believe it.
Li Zheng looked back and ordered Yu Sheng to serve tea, saying: "It's true. This boy has done things like chopping vegetables with his left hand and making noodles with his right hand."
Bai Gaoxing brought a large pot of tea to the table. The blind man took a sip to clear his throat, then beat the drum, and the ceremony officially began.
Perhaps it was because he was sent to the town by the Daqin people, so the man started telling the story of Diao Ao, the lord of Longbo City who was also a giant.
It is said that there are five fairy mountains in the bottomless valley overseas, in the waters of eight rivers and nine fields, and at the ruins where the stream of Heaven and Han are reunited.
Of these five fairy mountains, one is called Daiyu, the second is Yuanqiao, the third is Fanghu, the fourth is Yingzhou, and the fifth is Penglai.
These five fairy mountains are majestic and tall, with a circumference of 30,000 miles at the base of the mountains, 9,000 miles in circumference at the top, and each mountain is 7,000 miles apart.
According to legend, because all the waters in the world come together in one place, the five fairy mountains above the ruins are full of aura and are home to many gods and beasts, as well as countless treasures of heaven and earth.
And because the sun, moon and stars change, the latitude and longitude of the sky can be easily observed and understood here, so these five fairy mountains are holy places for cultivating immortals.
Many people who have attained enlightenment but are unable to succeed hope to go to these five fairy mountains for further training. Many people who have become immortals often go to the five fairy mountains for retreat and practice.
But these five fairy mountains were not there when the heaven and earth were born, but because the water in the world united to bring a lot of delicious food, it attracted five giant turtles to look for food.
It is common for Juao to float on Guixu and remain motionless for thousands of years. Over time, these five fairy mountains were formed.
In other words, these five fairy mountains are carried on the backs of five giant turtles.
When the immortals absorb the spiritual energy of the five fairy mountains, they often worry that the five giant turtles will sink to the bottom of the sea and make the fairy mountains history.
It just so happens that the leader of the Long Bo clan, who has existed since the birth of the world and has a long history, is even related to the Kuafu clan, is a troublemaker.
This giant has great abilities and is a big foodie.
Perhaps it was because he had been living for too long and was too bored, his head was cramped or something else, but one day this giant suddenly wanted to taste the taste of a giant turtle.
So he ran to Guixu, used Kun as bait and Ruomu as a pole, and caught two giant turtles. Then he took them back and skinned them, removed their bones, and made soup with the tribesmen.
The two fairy mountains, Daiyu and Yuanqiao, lost their support and were pushed to the North Pole by the waves and sank into the deep sea. From then on, only three of the five fairy mountains remained.
Of course, the Longbo people who were the culprits would inevitably be attacked in groups.
The Longbo people are worthy of being a race that existed on the earth in ancient times.
They used the power of a city to fight against half a wilderness of sword fairies, monks, old Taoists, and all kinds of demons and ghosts without losing. They remained in a stalemate for nearly a thousand years before losing.
The defeated Long Bo people were scattered, some escaped, some were made slaves, and some were used as food - these were mainly the turtle demon faction.
Longbo City has ceased to exist since then and only exists in legends.
Some people also believe that the small towns or tribes among the current giants are their descendants.
Because that battle lasted for nearly a thousand years, and all parties used their best efforts, and their magical powers were dazzling, it was listed as a chapter often talked about by storytellers.
What's more important is that during that battle, people suddenly discovered that among the three thousand avenues, no matter which one, you can become an immortal if you master the path, and you don't have to stick to sword immortals and the like.
In Yu Sheng's view, this is a good explanation for "Three hundred and sixty lines, and the best in every line".
This story of "Long Bo Fishing for Ao" was narrated by a blind storyteller to the beat of drums.
The female storyteller sat next to her, with a painted building in front of her but did not play it.
Only when the immortals were fighting against the Lord Long Bo, she would press the strings with her left hand and hit the strings with the bamboo ruler in her right hand, creating a sad and exciting atmosphere along with the drumbeats.
A tragic battle scene is laid out before everyone's eyes, and people can't help but be immersed in it. Following the storyteller, they feel happy and sad.
This story is already familiar to many people, but storytelling in another world is different from the previous life. The storyteller is named Storyteller, but in fact he half-reads and half-sings it.
It is also different from the rap in his previous life, but has a very slow tone, similar to Xintianyou, but not as grand.
This tone accompanies the musical instruments and blends emotions into it. Therefore, although the story is the same but the storyteller is different, the perception is also different.
