Legend of Shi’En - C26
Having witnessed the kidnapping case with their own eyes, the people in the car seemed to be preoccupied with something.
“What should we do? And (our) Temple Office still wants to follow us? ” Some Uncle Huzha who were indecisive asked the others.
Shi En looked at Shu Xiaoxiao and realised that she did not seem to think much of it, but Shang Qian looked worriedly at the pitiful elk deer outside the window. Shi En sighed, what the heck was this?
He snappily said to Uncle Huzha: “Follow along, who told us to meet. If we are travelling in the martial arts world, we will have to draw our swords to help if we see injustice, if we can help then we will.” When Shi En saw the worry on Shang Qian’s face turn into joy, he continued to speak: “Forget about the white bearded old man riding on a sledge to send dreams to the children, even if it’s just a normal delivery old man, we still have to go and rescue him, don’t you think so, White-haired Boy?”
Shang Qian kept nodding his head, looking at Shi En with eyes full of admiration, which made Shi En feel proud.
The Uncle Huzha who was holding the steering wheel spoke in agreement, “Hanging baby, you are right. You know that the old man is a good person, and if you (we) are able to make the good person suffer.”
Uncle Huzha turned off the lights and followed behind the black car in a very obscure manner. When he saw two black cars enter the center of a five-storey building, he stopped the car not far away.
Shi En opened the car door, rubbing his hands, he became impatient and said to Uncle Huzha: “Leave the car here, let’s go in.”
Uncle Huzha was obviously not satisfied with the word “throw”. He carefully locked the carriage, gently pulled the carriage door to check on it, and then left in peace of mind. Shi En and his group arrived at the center of the clubhouse. Uncle Huzha recognized the clubhouse with a single glance, and shouted loudly: “Is this the Bag Temple’s Yellow Crane Restaurant? “Who the hell is going on, it’s all just a delivery (what is it like now).”
It turned out that the center of this clubhouse was the famous Yellow Crane Tower, which enjoyed the reputation of “the world’s first floor” and “the world’s most beautiful scenery”. The Yellow Crane Tower’s exterior was shaped like a bronze yellow crane. It looked like a pagoda, memorial archway, verandah, pavilion, and other auxiliary buildings, making the main building appear even more magnificent. However, he didn’t know what kind of an entertainment center the Yellow Crane Society had turned into.
Shi En and the others entered the Yellow Crane Tower’s first floor. There was a large relief on the wall of the main hall, Shi En walked closer, after looking through it for a bit, he understood that these reliefs were carved from the legends of Yellow Crane Tower. However, he was not interested in them, he knew that the purpose of this visit was to rescue the kidnapped Santa.
After carefully searching through the ground floor, Shi En and the rest did not find any traces of Santa Claus, and could only go up to the second floor.
The second floor of the hall was much smaller than the one on the ground floor, and on the front wall was carved a marble wall of the Yellow Crane Tower by the Tang Dynasty’s Uncle Yan, which recorded the Yellow Crane Tower’s ruined history and the anecdotes of famous people; on both sides were two murals, one depicting “Sun Quan Cheng”, an iconic account of the successive birth of Yellow Crane Tower and Wuchang City; the other depicting “Zhou Yu’s banquet”, reflecting the activities and festivals of the three countries’ celebrities who had gone to the Yellow Crane Tower.
Shang Qian seemed to be very interested in these things. Since the search on the second floor was fruitless, Shi En and the rest could only continue to head upstairs.
The third floor began to change greatly. There were intersected corridors, and all sorts of poems and paintings were displayed for people to admire. Countless scholars and experts stood on the corridors, looking down at the flower boats ridden by the young mistresses with a wolf-like expression of longing. When the flower boat approached the shore, some of the maidservants looked up and noticed their attention. They immediately changed their expressions, pretending to be upright and tall, looking straight ahead, as if they were looking straight ahead. “Scholar Shi looked at the group of scholars who were chatting and discussing poetry, and even started scheming for the girl. It was no more interesting than traveling in the martial arts world.
“Paxi Lai Hai (Unclean), a gentle scum.” Uncle Huzha saw this and mumbled. Shi En also understood, now that ‘External Devil’ had invaded their Great Ming Dynasty and the royal family had become a puppet, these scholars who had read a lot of books did not report their actions to the imperial government, but instead passed their days in intoxicated and intoxicated lives once again.
Everyone searched in vain on the third floor and was about to continue their way up when they were stopped. The two big sized men standing by the stairs saw Shi En’s group approaching and immediately revealed an unfriendly look. One of the big sized man extended his hand to stop him.
“Hey, kid, what are you doing? This is not a place where you can casually enter, scram if you know what’s good for you. ”
“Is that so?” Shi En lowered his head to look at the arm of the big sized man that was in front of him, and raised his hand to grab it.
The big sized man was shocked to realize that Shi En’s movements were obviously slow. He could clearly see’s movements, but he couldn’t dodge it.
Originally, Shi En wanted to use his two hands to grind the big sized man’s hands, but at this time, six strong men rushed down from the top and surrounded Shi En and the rest.
Shi En thought: From the Qi the six muscular men gave off, it’s obvious that they are different from the two who stopped me. Their skills are clearly much stronger. But in front of them, they were no different from ordinary people who couldn’t even fight. However, Shi En did not seem to be making things big, he pretended to be drunk and admitted his wrongs: “Aiyo, hey, if you don’t want to go up, then don’t, I’ll continue drinking my wine.”
He thought for a moment and came up with an idea. He turned around and said to the others in a low voice, “Don’t act rashly. I’ll go ask around for information first.” With that, he brought the others to the counter to ask the bartender for some alcohol and snacks, and personally brought a jug of wine to the students who were standing in the middle, flattering them about their talent and beauty. After a while, Shi En got into a fight with them and got to know some of the famous Dandy s.
Shi En immediately cupped his hands and greeted one of the Dandy s: “I am Shi En, it has been my fortune to be acquainted with Young Noble Cheng Qifa, I was enlightened about Young Noble’s appearance, and how he became a poem just now, he is truly a dragon and phoenix in the world.”
After a few compliments, Cheng Zhen took his hand affectionately and put on a warm and heroic air.” After a few compliments, Cheng Zhen took his hand affectionately and put on a generous gesture. After drinking it all, Scholar Xian’s face was a little hot, but he didn’t feel any discomfort at all. He pretended to be drunk and asked, “I’ve just arrived, so I should toast you. Oh yeah, enlightened young master, I just so happened to want to ask about someone, I wonder if you’ve seen an old man in a red suit here.
“Oh, what kind of old man? “What’s your name?”
“There’s a ‘holy’ character that starts out with, and it has a professional nature similar to that of a bandit.”
At this time, the bartender, who was serving wine to Shi En, heard their conversation and interrupted, “Esteemed customer, forgive me for interrupting, but I can already guess what happened. You’re looking for the person who travelled to the balcony of a young girl, the one that is well-received by no one, right?”
“… No, thank you, I just wanted to remind you that he only works one day a year. ” Just as Shi En finished reminding the guests, he heard the bartender say, “Esteemed guest, forgive me for interrupting, but I have already guessed it. You found the one who drove the sledge and demonstrated the charm of a man, right?”
“You shut up, I already said no.”
Suddenly, a drunk Dandy on the table shouted: “Oh, I saw that he was carried upstairs by a few people, I think he had to drink too much before being carried around by others, come, drink, continue drinking.”
“Upstairs? “But I don’t want to go upstairs, right?” Just as Shi En wanted to ask the drunk Dandy, he heard the Young Master, who was sitting next to him, drink a mouthful of wine and explained: “The second floor and above are not things that us scholars who don’t have any achievements can reach.”
All of a sudden, a group of ‘External Demon Beast Human’ appeared on the stairs. They were escorting a few Yellow Ox and wanted to go up to the second floor. When they passed the third floor, the whole hall quieted down and no one dared to make a ruckus. Even the drunk Dandy didn’t dare to breathe out at this moment, and the scene could be heard as a needle fell onto the ground.
Yellow Ox, “External Demon Beast Human”, after looking around, let out a mocking roar, “A lowly race.” Several middle-aged men dressed in Great Ming Dynasty official uniform hurriedly rushed down from the second floor. They went downstairs and gave Yellow Ox a deep salute. Then, like dogs, they stood respectfully behind it. When Shi En and the rest saw this scene, they could not help but shake their heads and sigh. When the officials of Great Ming Dynasty bowed their heads like that to the External Devil, how could the lives of commoners be good?
Just as Yellow Ox ‘External Demon Beast Human’ was about to go upstairs, a change occurred. They arrived at the foot of an official and shouted, “Please, my lord, please give me what I have taken, I beg you to give it to me first, I’ll immediately have my subordinates bring the money back, I beg you to give me the thing first.”
“Aiya, so it’s the provincial capital’s richest man, Young Master Liu. Hurry and get up, what’s the meaning of this? Men, hurry and deliver it to Young Master Liu, if you want to know the quality of the goods, Young Master Liu, recently you’ve just received a top quality product, the price is not what it used to be, but rich man Liu is as rich as a kingdom, why would you care about such a trifling amount of money? You should hurry and enjoy yourself.”
After Young Master Liu heard the official’s words, he nodded his head strongly and quickly stood up to follow the person who came in. Not long later, Shi En saw Young Master Liu come out of the room with an infatuated expression, he looked extremely spirited, and when he walked over, Shi En could smell a strange aroma from him.
At this moment, Shi En had a stomach full of doubts. When he was about to ask the enlightened Young Noble about this, he noticed that the Uncle Huzha was running towards him. His face was filled with a hint of panic as he lowered his head and whispered into Shi En’s ear in panic, “Bind it well, the white haired kid will see you soon, the young lady has already gone to look for someone.”
