From Chopper To Cthulhu - Chapter 150
Two months of time passed quickly.
In the past two months, the situation has been changing no matter whether it is in the arena, the people, or the court. The several incidents that have happened indirectly have made people shocked.
First of all, the fact that Li Haonan, a terrifying demon who was once in the Southern Dynasties, was killed by the Shenhuo Guardian finally spread all over the world. The weird scenes about Li Haonan’s death were also circulated everywhere like ghosts. This piece of content, then Some people believe that some people do not believe it, and more people think it is an exaggeration, but at least, the Shenhuowei who successfully killed Li Haonan once again became famous in the world, let the world know their power.
With the death of the great demon Li Haonan, Nan Wulin, which had been disturbed by the miasma, finally recovered its calm, but under the surface calm, there have been several terrible murders-many beautiful women who have been abducted by Li Haonan return. After arriving in their respective sects and homes, their temperaments changed drastically. They slaughtered their husbands and sons lightly, and slaughtered the whole family. These tragic changes were unexpected.
Not to mention why those women have changed their temperament, let alone being tortured by Li Haonan, they have lost their senses and lost their minds, but the martial arts training required to kill the husband and the sons and slaughter the whole family is real-in which they are killed. There are no shortage of masters who have long been famous in the arena, which immediately caused new rumors in the arena.
Legend has it that these women abducted by Li Haonan have found the masterful martial arts secrets of the great demon Li Haonan. In this regard, there are some survivors who vowed to say that those women who killed people used the blood-stained choppers used by Li Haonan to kill countless Southern dynasty righteous men. Even the number of martial arts skills is exactly the same…
Therefore, the rivers and lakes that had just calmed down suddenly surging again. Countless sects of the rivers and lakes are all playing banners such as “Clean up the remnants of the devil”, “avenge the death of the rivers and lakes fellows”, etc., and send people to start looking for the women who have been abducted by Li Haonan.
However, this “sweeping away the remnants of the devil” was stopped at the very beginning-the Daxing court stood up at this time and issued a public statement proving that after the death of the devil Li Haonan, all weapons and other personal belongings had been taken away. The Shenhuo Guardian confiscated, it is impossible for any martial arts secrets or weapons to be spread to the world. As for the women who kill and destroy the door, they are nothing more than the mental changes caused by Li Haonan. Even if they make mistakes now, it is understandable. of.
However, in order to better control these women, the court will set up a special Jianghu women’s corps, called “Yihuagong”, which will be directly under the command of Shenhuowei to unify these poor and beautiful women lunatics. Custody and education will never allow them to harm the arena anymore, and at the same time let them serve the court, which is regarded as defeated.
Therefore, even though the various factions on the rivers and lakes are still full of doubts about the source of these women’s rapid advances in martial arts, they have to die. Now the Shenhuowei with the great prestige of the Northern Expedition and the killing of the big demon, is in the Nanwu Forest. The prestige is more incomparable than the “Tongwutang”, which school dare to say nothing.
The last big thing that happened was on the battlefield.
The establishment of the “Flower Palace” and the Daxing court, which gathered a large number of female masters from the rivers and lakes, has undoubtedly become stronger. Coupled with the unmatched power of Shenhuowei, it has become more powerful and invincible in the battle of the Northern Expedition, and it has already reached the distance. Not far from the capital of the Northern Dynasties, the once great empire, Dashong Dynasty, is about to be completely overthrown—
But at this moment, the invincible army of the Southern Dynasties finally suffered a tragic defeat, and it was not an ordinary defeat. It not only damaged tens of thousands of elite troops, but also retreated hundreds of miles. Even the mainstay **** Huowei was killed and injured more than half. Back to Nan’an, the whole country was in an uproar.
···
In the Daxing dynasty, in a large manor on the outskirts of Nan’an City, Kyoto, many people sat in a bustling courtyard. Most of them were dressed in long gowns with folding fans in their hands. They were dressed like a storyteller, and a small number of them were equipped with soldiers. Blade, looks nondescript, age, there are old and young.
“How exactly did the frontline Da Chong’s army be defeated? Is there a detailed report of the battle now?”
“What’s wrong? Even if there is, you dare to make up a story and go to the restaurant to tell you nothing? I’m afraid that you will be invited to drink prison tea by Lord Fu Yin just as soon as you start!”
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.
“Hehe, don’t laugh, if Daxing can’t stop the collapse and let Dachong push back, whether this story can be told or not, Xu is under the supervision of Tongwutang.”
Someone spoke again. This time, the scene was much quieter. Many people on the court were from the gang and had a deep understanding of the notoriety of Tongwutang in the Northern Dynasties.
“That won’t be enough. I know a little bit of news. I heard that it was Da Chong’s army that dug up the dam on the edge of Kyoto and flooded the Northern Expedition army…”
Someone thought about it, and still gave some gossips that they knew.
“Nonsense, the army is advancing, and its own scouts are watching the movement of the surrounding dozens of miles. How can Da Chong easily burst the levee and drown tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? Besides, if it is really a levee, it is to kill the enemy. Eight hundred have lost one thousand. The people of Kyoto in the Northern Dynasty must not drown hundreds of thousands of people?”
“Heh, what are the people? Believe it or not, the Northern Dynasty hit outside Nan’an City. If the water is released to repel the enemy, our court will also be the first time…”
“Impossible! Do you think our court is the same as the Northern Dynasty?”
“We are different, you think it would be better without Tongwutang now…”
“Okay, okay, we don’t talk about national affairs in this “Liao Zhai”, we just tell stories if we want to.”
At this time, a woman who was less than 30 years old and dressed up as a shopkeeper walked out holding a few pots of tea, and distributed the tea on everyone’s table. At the same time, she interrupted the change. debate.
“Humph!”
“Well, for Ayu’s face, I won’t argue with you anymore!”
This female shopkeeper seemed to be the owner of the “Liao Zhai” here. When she came, several storytellers also hummed each other and stopped arguing.
“Ayu, the shopkeeper, if I can get a detailed report of the frontline defeat, how much money do you think I can exchange?”
The storyteller who had said the news of the “Water Attack” before asked the female shopkeeper who came to deliver tea.
“If you get it before sunset today, you can count as three hundred taels of silver. If you get it before sunset tomorrow, it will only be two hundred taels. From the day after tomorrow, you can only count as one hundred taels.”
The female shopkeeper known as “Ayu” smiled with crooked eyebrows and two small dimples appeared on her face, which made people feel quite cordial.
“How can the price fall one hundred tael a day?”
The storyteller who asked for the price was taken aback and somewhat dissatisfied.
“Haha, how much do you want to know about the news that you guys can inquire? And this detailed report on the battle situation can’t be kept confidential. In a few days, there will be northern merchants bringing the news over, and people on the streets will know. .”
Another person on the side said sarcastically.
The female shopkeeper Ayu didn’t speak, but she smiled and recognized her.
“Treasurer Ayu, I have a few days ago, have you received the news that the magic sword hero broke into the Black Dragon Village alone?”
Another storyteller sitting not far away said to the female shopkeeper.
“The hero of the magic sword is alone in the Black Dragon Village? I have never heard of it. Go to the backyard and talk to my elder brother. If it is true, it can be folded into ten taels of silver.”
The female shopkeeper nodded and said.
“Treasurer Ayu, I heard that this magic sword hero is jealous and hateful. He has only become famous in the arena and has only been in the top 100 in the [Weapon Book]. Moreover, he has only one arm and was once a storyteller. Is this news true or not?”
A curious tea storyteller heard the “Magic Sword Hero” suddenly became interested, and asked the female shopkeeper.
“Do you want to know? This news is enough for three coins. If you give three or two, I can pack all the story about the beginning of the first battle of the magic sword hero, including the [Course Black Dragon Village] that I am going to acquire. Inside, and compile the text for you, so that you will become popular in the tea house and restaurant.”
Two small dimples piled up on Ayu’s face.
“Forget it, I have to collect money for this news? The copy of “On the Origin and Destruction of the Demon Sect” that the old man bought last time hasn’t been talked about yet. When no one listens to it, come and consider what to buy. Magic sword hero…”
When the melon-eater asked for money, he shook his head and gave up.
“Okay, when does the old gentleman want it, just ask Ayu. But you have to teach the old gentleman that this is not because Ayu is greedy for money, it is the “Liao Zhai” rule. If everyone does not give money, there is no free tea supply. Do you guys eat?”
Ayu kept smiling and said, and other storytellers around also nodded and said yes.
Speaking of this “Liao Zhai”, it can be regarded as a “sacred place” in the mind of the storyteller in Gyeonggi area. The legend is that the first generation of “Bai Xiaosheng” who once followed the martial arts supreme sixty years ago and later disappeared from the front of the rivers and lakes. “Created.
At that time, “Bai Xiaosheng” was still a storyteller, and he knew the pains and joys of storytellers. The “Liao Zhai” opened was intended to provide a place for storytellers to exchange stories and learn skills, and at the same time to provide simple Board and lodging.
Later, “Bai Xiaosheng” founded [Weapon Spectrum], which moved the world~www.mtlnovel.com~ and also to avoid the “Supreme Treasure” turmoil, he retreated from the rivers and lakes and did not show up again. Here, “Liao Zhai” ‘Also handed over to a few old servants to take care of it, passed down from generation to generation.
“I heard that there is no story that hasn’t been included in’Liao Zhai’ in this world, so are there stories about “Wulin Supreme”, “Bai Xiaosheng” and… “Daxing Taishi Li Taigong”?”
As the female shopkeeper put away the tray and was about to leave, a slightly hoarse male voice came from the door of the courtyard.
“Of course, no one knows the deeds of Wu Lin Supreme, but the book is relatively thick, so it costs five taels of silver; Bai Xiaosheng is the founder of Liao Zhai, very mysterious, and there is no story for the money; Li Taigong’s… ”
The female shopkeeper heard this sound unfamiliar, knowing she was a stranger, and while she was talking, she turned around and looked around.
Standing at the door of the Liao Zhai, I saw a tall and thin scholar in a blue shirt. This scholar looked like he was in his thirties, and he was handsome, but there was an uncontrollable sense of sadness on his face. The most attractive thing was that His long hair is half white, and the sleeves of his left arm are empty. He turned out to be a one-armed man!
