Chapter 2827 Story

More than ten people came on stage one after another. Some of their stories were long or short, and some were invited off by Mr. Jiang as soon as they started.

From sunset to the dawn of the new year, the atmosphere was always lively.

Finally, no one took the initiative to take the stage. As usual, Mr. Jiang clasped his fists and asked if there were any stories. As soon as he finished speaking, an old voice said, "I have."

A voice came from behind, and the crowd dispersed, and an old man with white hair and beard walked in. He was probably over eighty years old.

Looking at his clothes, although they are not gorgeous, they are still silk clothes with jade hanging from his waist. He definitely does not look like someone who sells stories for a mere three cents.

Mr. Jiang stood up, cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "Thank you, old man, for coming to support us." The old man obviously wasn't doing it to make money, so he had to accept this favor.

After saying that, he called someone else and brought in a chair. The old man was old and sitting on a futon, it was too laborious to stand up.

The old man was not polite and sat down directly on the chair, stroking his silver beard and said, "I have heard of Mr. Jiang's reputation for a long time, and it is like thunder. I have also read Mr. Jiang's books, which are eye-catching and widely circulated. , has the power to educate the world. The story I want to tell you today does not require any money from Mr. Jiang, but please ask Mr. Jiang to record it in your next book and spread it around the world. I will be extremely grateful." He said, Give a fist salute.

Mr. Jiang hurriedly returned the gift and said, "Thank you very much, my father-in-law. However, when Jiang writes a book, he is very strict in the selection of materials. I apologize that Jiang cannot promise the old man's request. I can only say that if the story is really great, , Jiang will record it on his own."

The old man nodded and began to tell the story, "In the 16th year of Chun'an, Zhang Sheng and Liu Sheng were elected sons from Yun'an County. They traveled together to Tokyo City to take part in the provincial examination. When they were passing through Hanshan Mountain, it rained heavily. It was getting dark and the road was long and slippery. , I had to stay at the mountain temple for the night. When I walked to the temple gate, I heard several sad howls of wolves. Not long after, a white rabbit jumped out of the forest. The white rabbit was all white, like a jade sculpture, with lively eyes and a natural beauty. , which led Zhang Sheng and Liu Sheng to imitate others in bowing..."

At this point, he was interrupted by Mr. Jiang, "In order to let Mr. Jiang know, I only include unwritten stories here. I wonder if this story is made up by Mr. Jiang's imagination, or is it based on what predecessors have said?"

"This is not a story, but a true story."

As soon as the old man said this, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Everyone knows that there are monks and monsters in the world, but for ordinary people, they are too lofty after all, and most of them have never seen monks and monsters in their lives.

Mr. Jiang nodded, and the old man continued.

The story had just begun, and Xu Yi had roughly guessed what it was going to be like.

In the past, when he was making a living by telling books in Xujiacun, such stories were not organized too much. The old man said it was true, and he believed it. However, he guessed that the subsequent plot was nothing more than a scholar meeting a fox fairy, and the fox fairy repaying his kindness. The two fell in love with each other and composed a beautiful hymn of love between a man and a man.

If it was such a story, even if it was true, he would be tired of hearing it.

If it weren't for the fear that setting off now would mess up the venue and disturb others, he would have left.

Sure enough, the subsequent development of the story was exactly as he expected. Zhang Sheng was brave and frightened off the greedy wolf with his sword, saving the jade rabbit. Liu Sheng took action to bandage the jade rabbit's wounds. Early the next morning, the Jade Rabbit disappeared. Zhang and Liu went to Tokyo to take the exam, but they both failed.

Three years later, Zhang and Liu took the exam again, but at the foot of the cold mountain, they met a beautiful and graceful girl in white, whom they called Xiu Niang.

As expected, Xiu Niang was the Jade Rabbit. After three years, she had achieved success in practice and came to meet her two benefactors.

Xiu Niang has a beautiful appearance and a natural temperament. Zhang and Liu are both deeply in love with each other. They compete with each other and reveal their feelings to Xiu Niang.

After Xiu Niang admitted that she was a demon, Liu Sheng was horrified and did not dare to express his love for her anymore. Zhang Sheng ignored the secular etiquette and won Xiu Niang's sincerity.

Until the wedding night of Xiu Niang and Zhang Sheng, Liu Sheng, the only congratulator and host of the wedding, looked at Xiu Niang in red makeup and felt a sea of ​​regret in his heart. He was alone and drunk all night.

After that, Liu Sheng traveled far and returned thirty years later, only to learn that Zhang Sheng and Xiu Niang had divorced ten years ago, and Zhang Sheng had remarried, had children, and with the help of Xiu Niang, he had Both sons became monks.

Poor Xiu Niang, she is old and dying.

But Zhang Sheng married again and again, and gave birth to seven sons and eight daughters, making his family rich and powerful.

The whole story is extremely long, taking nearly two hours to tell. There are so many details in it that are beyond imagination.

The friendship between Zhang Sheng, Liu Sheng and Xiu Niang is also reflected in these countless details.

It's just that Canghai Cangtian, which lasted for many years, finally ended in this way, and everyone couldn't help but sigh.

At the end of the story, the old man burst into tears, feeling that the sky was unfair.

There were many people in the audience who shed tears. The strange love story between a human and a demon was so heart-wrenching, but it ended in such a way, which really made everyone sigh.

Even Xu Yi was brought in. Because of what happened between him and Xia Zimo, he actually developed a hatred for Zhang Sheng.

"The good things in the world are not firm, and the colorful clouds are easy to scatter and the glass is brittle."

After Mr. Jiang finished recording, he patted the table and said, "What is the saddest feeling in life, and what is unforgettable in this world. I think that at the beginning of falling in love, the vows made by Zhang Sheng and Xiu Niang were all fake even before they happened. However, they cannot compete with the ruthlessness of time." , people's hearts are changeable, it's sad to say." After that, he stood up and saluted the old man, and said, "Just now, my father-in-law said that this is not a story, but a real person, and he also mentioned that Tokyo City, in the 16th year of Chun'an, was This is the third year of Tai'an, eighty-two years ago. Could it be that an old incident happened in the city of Tokyo? I wonder if Zhang Sheng and Liu Sheng are still alive, and where is Xiu Niang?"

Shicai's story is really thrilling. At this time, it is almost late at night, but no one leaves.

The old man wiped away the tears on his face and said solemnly, "I am Liu Sheng in that story, and Zhang Sheng is..."

Before the old man could finish his words, he heard a shout, "Uncle Liu Shi, keep your words and deeds!"

As soon as the shouts subsided, there was the sound of rolling hooves, and under the lights, a middle-aged man in black robes, riding a divine horse as red as coal fire, rushed out of the alley.

He didn't slow down when he saw someone approaching, immediately scaring the crowd away.

The middle-aged man in black robe shouted coldly, "A bunch of despicable people, they don't think about work all day long, they talk nonsense, but they are not idle. It seems that there are still too few guards in Shuijing Alley. Let's see if you are idle. Get out of here!"

No one recognized the middle-aged man in black robes. Judging by his attire and demeanor, they knew he was a nobleman who could not be offended. He was used to being yelled at and bullied, so no one dared to say anything and left in a hurry.

After all, it was just a story, and there was no need to offend the noble man who could not be offended.

In an instant, everyone dispersed, leaving only Mr. Jiang, Liu Sheng, and Xu Yili on the scene.
