In the sixth year of the Daye, Dorisby, the leader of the Japanese state, sent an envoy to Luoyang to pay tribute. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty personally received him. This was the second audience from a foreign country after the Qimin Khan of the Turkic Kingdom came to pay tribute in the western year of the Daye. It also means that the national power of the Sui Dynasty has reached its peak.
At the beginning of the Western month, Yangzhou City.
This is the time of the year when the scenery in Yangzhou is the most beautiful. As the saying goes, the spring breeze is ten miles along Yangzhou Road, and the Slender West Lake is full of charm.
Yangzhou had a very high status in the Sui Dynasty, second only to the capitals Daxing and Luoyang. Yang Guang had a palace here and lived here for a few months every year.
At this time, Yangzhou City was prosperous and lively, with a population of nearly one million, making it the third largest city in the Sui Dynasty.
And in this bustling city, all kinds of new things happen every day.
Yuxian Tower is the most luxurious restaurant in Yangzhou city. It not only contains the calligraphy left by Yang Guang himself, but also the ink written by martial arts heroes after drinking. It is packed with guests every day and is known as the first building in Yangzhou.
At this time, in Yuxian Tower, people were sitting around on the first floor of the restaurant. There was a table in the middle, and a young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe was sitting here, holding tea in his hand and drinking slowly.
There were people sitting around, maybe one or two hundred people in total, and the entrance and the west floor of the second and third floors were also full of people. Everyone's eyes followed the Taoist priest's movements of drinking tea.
"Good tea." The young Taoist priest praised after taking a sip of tea.
"Taoist Priest, you see that people are almost here today, should we start the lecture?" At this time, the boss of Yuxian Tower flattered the Taoist priest, lowered his head and whispered.
When the Taoist priest suddenly raised his head, the boss was startled and took a step back.
"Snapped…"
The Taoist slapped the cliff, and the surroundings were silent for an instant.
He raised his eyebrows and began to speak sonorously.
"The three moral emperors and the five emperors were famous after Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasty. The five tyrants and seven heroes were in trouble in the Spring and Autumn Period, and their rise and fall happened in an instant. There are several lines of names in the Qing Dynasty, and there are countless barren hills in the north. The predecessors sow and the next will reap. It is said that there is a fight between dragons and tigers!"
"good…"
After the opening poem was read, everyone at the scene immediately applauded.
"Although I have heard this closing poem several times, it still makes me unforgettable every time it comes from the mouth of the Taoist priest."
"Not bad, not bad, it feels different every time I listen to it."
Most of the people sitting upstairs were rich, and rich people always like to be arty.
"Last time we talked about the Great Wheel King Jiumozhi competing with the senior monks of Tianlong Temple for the Six Meridians Divine Sword. As a result, Duan Yu saw his uncle Duan Zhengming, the Emperor of Baoding, injuring Jiumozhi with a flaming knife move. As a result, he became desperate. The thumb of his lower right hand used the Shaoshang Sword."
"Jiu Mozhi was immediately shocked and quickly used his Duoluoye Finger. The powerful finger force came through the air and flew towards Duan Yu."
"Stop rushing the sword."
"Duan Yu raised his right hand, and as he finished speaking, a purple sword energy shot out from his little finger."
"Snapped"
"The sword energy and Natara Ye's finger force collided in the air, causing both of them to take a step back."
"Then Duan Yu used the Shang Yang Sword, the Zhong Chong Sword, the Guan Chong Sword, and the Shao Ze Sword again. The six meridians came out at once. The whole hall was filled with sword energy, and the ground was full of holes."
"I saw that Jiumozhi was in a panic. His six meridians came out so fast that he didn't have a chance to fight back. He could only use Qinggong to keep avoiding."
"But who is Jiumozhi? It is not an exaggeration to say that he has been on the battlefield for a long time. Seeing that he was about to be defeated, he dodged and grabbed the monk on the side to block him."
"Duan Yu quickly stopped attacking, but the Six Meridians Divine Sword is not an ordinary martial art, it is a magical skill. Although he learned the Six Meridians by luck, he is not yet able to master it skillfully. He just used it out of desperation, and now he suddenly stopped it. , was immediately betrayed by the magical power, and the whole population fell down with blood spurting out. "
"Jiu Mozhi has quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed Duan Yu and immediately pinched his neck with his right hand. He also tapped several key points on his body with his left hand."
"Jiumozhi's trip is for the Six Meridians Divine Sword Manual. Now that the original version has been destroyed by Master Kurong, isn't this piece of reputation a ready-made sword manual?"
The Taoist priest's talk was very colorful and vivid. Everyone at the scene seemed to be immersed in it, and they were quickly drawn into it.
Half an hour later.
"I saw that Wang Yuyan was tall and slender, like a graceful curve, with a dignified and elegant posture. Her skin was as white as snow, as smooth as jade, exuding an intoxicating luster. Her eyebrows were like a crescent moon, slender, slender, and slightly curved. It outlines a perfect arc. The eyes are crystal clear, bright and energetic, as if two stars are shining, and reveal wisdom and agility, making it difficult to extricate yourself. "
"Just this one glance made Duan Yu go crazy. He couldn't help but think of the white jade statue in front of the jade wall at the foot of Wuliang Mountain. He couldn't help but blurt out, "Sister Immortal."
"Snapped…"
"Foretell what will happen next, and let's listen to the explanation next time."
Just when everyone was looking like a pig brother and immersed in the imagination of Wang Yuyan's appearance, the Taoist slapped the wood of exclamation and ended today's story.
"Ding…"
"Ding…"
The familiar sound of the system can be heard all the time, and the Taoist priest is none other than Li Daoyi.
"Ah, why is it gone?"
"Taoist Priest, I'll give you money, give me some silver, and you can talk a little longer."
"Yes, Taoist Priest, ten taels of silver."
"I'll pay fifty taels."
For a while, people howled and asked Li Dao to speak again.
"That's it for today. The rules must not be broken. I'll come back in three days. Thank you all for supporting me." Li Daoyi stood up and bowed his hands to the people around him, and then left the restaurant accompanied by the restaurant owner.
"Taoist Master, I have prepared what you want early in the morning." After leaving the restaurant, the boss waved to the side.
I saw a young boy walking over with Li Daoyi's green ox. Behind the green ox, he was pulling a cart. The cart was filled with all kinds of things, including food, drink, and silks and satins, all kinds of things. .
"Thank you." Li Daoyi stepped forward and gently touched Niu Er's head.
"Boss, see you next time, everyone, see you next time." Li Daoyi said to the people around him, then he lightly jumped on the back of the ox, and one person and one ox pulled the cart towards the city gate.
Seeing his retreating figure, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
"I really don't know what the Taoist priest thinks, why don't you make money even if you have money?"
"Idiot, you think everyone knows only money like you. Taoist priest is not an ordinary person, he is an expert." Someone retorted.
"What kind of expert is this? Isn't he just a storyteller?"
"I'm ignorant, let me tell you that a few days ago, a child fell into the water on the canal. At that time, the Taoist priest happened to pass by on a green bull. He jumped into the river and without stepping on the water, he volleyed and rescued the child. Come up." Someone told what he saw.
"Hiss... Could it be that the Taoist Master is also a master master? In addition to Master Shilong, does our Yangzhou City have a new master?"
Immediately, people began to talk about it. Ever since the mysterious Taoist priest came to Yuxian Tower and started telling stories half a month ago, people were very curious about his identity. Some people wanted to follow him before, but after leaving the city, he disappeared.
The bullock cart walked slowly on the street, and people greeted Li Daoyi from time to time. There were many people who knew him. The most important thing was that the green bull was so domineering that it was difficult not to notice.
"Taoist Master, these are the freshly made candied haws, would you like some?" A vendor greeted enthusiastically.
"Put it in the car for me, I'll go get them all."
After speaking, Li Daoyi threw an ingot and five taels of silver to the vendor.
"Oh, that's too much, that's too much, Taoist priest, we don't need this much," the vendor said hurriedly.
"I'll reward you if you get more. I'll ask for more in three days. Don't worry, put it in the car quickly." Li Daoyi said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, Taoist priest. Thank you so much, Taoist priest." The hawker gratefully inserted the pole full of candied haws on the back of the bullock cart.
Soon, one person and one cow walked out of the city gate leisurely. The soldiers guarding the gate also looked at Li Daoyi's back with reverence. They did not dare to provoke the Taoist.
In the deserted place in the west, the oxcart disappeared in an instant and reappeared by a lake ten miles away. The lake was not big, only about a hundred acres. There was a yard beside the lake. Although it didn't look big, it was very elegant. It was built by Li Daoyi using his magical powers.
The bullock cart slowly walked towards the door.
"Alas…"
The door opened instantly, and then cute cheers came out. The little guy flew out happily and threw himself into the bullock cart.
"Wow, candied haws on a stick." The little guy's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the candied haws on a stick.
At this time, two figures, one red and one white, also walked out. It was Dongfang Bubai and Xiao Longnu.
"I'm home!"
"Well, I bought some silk for you, see if you like it."
"You know, I only like red, and Sister Long only likes white." Dongfang Bubai turned over the page, then frowned.
"Life should be colorful, and you should try new things." Li Daoyi disagreed.
"Only you can say it." Dongfang Bubai rolled his eyes at him.
"Sister Long, come on, the candied haws on a stick is so sweet." Mengmeng happily greeted the little dragon girl with her mouth full of syrup.
"I can also make candied haws. Grandma Sun made it for me with honey when I was little." Xiao Longnu took the candied haws from Mengmeng and took a bite.
"Ah, is it true? I want it, I want it." Mengmeng shouted immediately.
Then several people happily returned to the yard with their things.
"Brother, drink tea." In the middle of the yard, Li Daoyi was lying on a chair. He felt that storytelling was more tiring than practicing martial arts.
"Thanks."
The reason why Li Daoyi told stories in a restaurant was also an accident. This world is the world of Shuanglong in the Tang Dynasty. It is now the sixth year of Daye and there are still many years before the plot begins. Li Daoyi actually hoped to travel to the Northern Song Dynasty. He admired Qiao Qiao very much. Feng wanted to change his destiny, but unfortunately things went against his wishes and he came to the Sui Dynasty.
So, he discussed it with his boss at Yuxian Tower, where he talked about the Eight Parts of the Sky and the Dragon. Unexpectedly, he got an unexpected reward. After the lecture on the first day, he got 5,000 points for the first time, and there were more people after several times. , and more points.
Anyway, now that he has nothing to do, he goes into the city every three days to tell people stories and earn some points along the way.
