Chapter 776 Storyteller

Soon after, the waiter served Zhang Zhiwen tea and some snacks. Zhang Zhiwen sat at the window and drank tea leisurely while listening to the storyteller's story in the teahouse.

Zhang Zhiwen was very familiar with this kind of life. Is the secular world so unbearable? This was a thought in Zhang Zhiwen's mind, and it was a thought that popped up suddenly.

He had already learned how to fly and hide, and he could call the wind and rain. He even penetrated the reincarnation, saw the cause and effect, and predicted fate, but what about this?

Looking at the ordinary people in the teahouse, Zhang Zhiwen could see their fate at a glance, and also their present and past lives at a glance, just like the storyteller, he was an old man, and this old man was actually a dog in his previous life, and the little girl who sat not far from him and was responsible for playing the piano was now his granddaughter, but in her previous life she was an unforgivable bandit.

Lotus rose, the sun and the moon rotated, and karma penetrated all the dust in the world. What he saw was that these two people who were originally unrelated walked together in this life and depended on each other. This is the peculiarity of karma.

In addition, each of the guests listening to the book under the stage has a different past and present life, which cannot be changed by human power. Everything is driven by karma. Zhang Zhiwen looked at them one by one, and suddenly, his eyes stopped on a scholar.

This scholar was actually an emperor in his previous life. This is really interesting. A person who was an emperor in his previous life has fallen to this point, with ragged clothes and disheveled hair. If it weren’t for the dirty long gown that made people know that he was a scholar, it really couldn’t see the difference between him and a beggar.

But Zhang Zhiwen was just a little curious. Emperors and beggars were all floating and sinking in this world, drifting with the flow, not worth mentioning. At this moment, he realized the significance of cultivating immortals. Cultivating immortals can transcend the mundane world and never fall into reincarnation. This reincarnation is extremely cruel. It divides people into different levels without any explanation, and even falls into the six paths and turns into animals. Look at the stray dog ​​wagging its tail and begging for mercy at the door. It has become an animal in this life, but it was a tycoon in its previous life. It's just that this person has no virtue, does not respect humanity, despises gods, and acts recklessly. In this life, he has become an animal, living on the streets, and even eating shit.

Let's look back at Zhang Zhiwen's life. He was also living on the streets and was born a beggar, but he embarked on the road of cultivating immortals, turned the world around, and changed his life.

There was nothing special about the storyteller's story, but it was also something Zhang Zhiwen wanted to know. For example, the Great Yan Dynasty had lasted for hundreds of years. Before the Great Yan Dynasty, there was the Great Zhao Dynasty, which was even longer, lasting for ten thousand years.

This made Zhang Zhiwen feel a little incredible. Could this secular dynasty have such a long lifespan? Logically speaking, it would have ended in about a few hundred years, but the Great Zhao Dynasty did not overthrow so quickly, but instead lasted for ten thousand years.

From this, it can be seen that the people of this land should be quite docile, otherwise how could they tolerate the tyranny of the Great Zhao Dynasty for so long?

But Zhang Zhiwen just listened and didn't take it to heart. He was still thinking about how to leave this place. He didn't know which plane or which place this was after he broke the void.

"The current emperor went hunting one day, and the Yanyun Mountains were endless..."

The storyteller suddenly said this, and Zhang Zhiwen looked at him suddenly. This was something that surprised him very much. How could this be related to the Yanyun Mountains?

"The Crown Prince is by the side of the emperor, and many princes are traveling together. It is really a mighty and majestic scene. The emperor's grace is spreading, especially the eighteen imperial cavalrymen, who personally protect the emperor and ride on horses in Yanyun. Yanyun is also a good place in our Great Yan Dynasty. For many years, there have been conservative customs in the royal family. Some rules have been set down..."

The storyteller's eloquence is quite good. He described it vividly, which made Zhang Zhiwen seem to see the lively and grand scene of the Great Yan Emperor's personal tour, but these are just routine royal activities of ordinary royal families.

Zhang Zhiwen naturally didn't care much, but he was quite curious about the so-called Yanyun Mountains. How could there be any Yanyun Mountains in Great Yan? Could it be that these secret realms are connected to each other?

If so, then he would go to the Yanyun Mountains to see the situation. This is a very important information. Otherwise, if he casually broke the void again, he might appear somewhere, and he couldn't control the landing point.

But Zhang Zhiwen was not in a hurry. He had come to this place, so he continued to inquire about more useful information, which could also allow him to make a foolproof plan. He did not want to do things that he was not sure of.

"But there was an uninvited guest on patrol that day. That's right, everyone must know that Li Da is still haunting..."

The storyteller continued, and the guests in the audience were eager to know what would happen next.

You should know that Li Da was originally a member of the royal family. The royal family is the Li family. Li Da is the brother of the current emperor and ranks as the nineteenth prince. The current emperor was originally the fourth prince.

Sure enough, the storyteller began to talk about Li Da's situation again, as if he was afraid that others would not know what his relationship with the current emperor was.

"Oh, don't repeat it every time, it's so long-winded!"

"Yes, we all know that Li Da is a prince, there is no need to talk about it every time!"

...

The guests who were listening to the story were impatient, but the old man just smiled and continued to repeat the story, which made everyone very confused.

"My grandfather is waiting for the destined person, why are you so anxious!"

The little girl who played the piano suddenly shouted, asking everyone to stop arguing.

"What destined person? It's been so many years, and I haven't seen your family meet any destined person."

"That's right, you are just delaying time, refund the ticket!"

"That's right, you are so long-winded, we all know something but you still have to talk more, isn't this a scam!"

...

The guests quarreled with the girl, and the girl was naturally unhappy. Anyway, what her grandfather said was right, so they were waiting for the destined person.

"What is the destined person?"

The storyteller stroked his beard and saw that these guests were not happy, so he said, "You are, he is, maybe both, who knows? Anyway, there are so many people coming and going in Yandu, who is really likely to know everything about Li Da? Know everything about the emperor?"

As soon as the old man said this, a businessman clapped his hands and applauded.

"Okay, well said, we are from outside, and we may not know Li Da, but we still want to know something."

When he said this, some other outsiders also agreed. Now, the destined person the old man said has appeared, right?

Zhang Zhiwen saw this scene, and he was also thoughtful. It seems that people will look at problems from their own perspective. If they are not satisfied, they will not consider the feelings of others. They dislike the storyteller for being long-winded and repeating the same thing over and over again, but some guests need to know these contents.

For example, Zhang Zhiwen wanted to know who Li Da was and what feud he had with the current emperor. Otherwise, why would he help the remnants of the Great Zhao Dynasty to deal with the Great Yan Dynasty?

"Please be patient and wait for me to continue."

The storyteller would not be affected by these people. He still had to say what he should say. If he didn't tell the story step by step, what fun would it have?

Life is already a few decades long. It's not good to be too impatient. Wouldn't you be in a hurry to reincarnate?

You still have to be patient and don't shout here without a beginning or an end. Otherwise, you will only make a laughing stock and miss many seemingly insignificant details, which are actually fatal and important information.

Zhang Zhiwen was not in a hurry when he heard this. He picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and then drank it slowly. He was very leisurely.

Life should be enjoyed in time, don't be impatient, as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, which means exactly this.

Especially at this moment, the things the storyteller said seemed unimportant. What about the royal patrol, what about the old royal rules, what about Li Da's royal identity, those were all old-fashioned things, but why did the storyteller always talk about the same old things?

Because it is very important, Zhang Zhiwen is also very clear about this. The Yanyun Mountains have appeared, and Li Da must be interesting. He will still sit here and listen patiently.

Otherwise, if you just hear the beginning and feel a little bored or inexplicable, how can you want to hear something interesting? You may even miss a lot of wonderful stories, which is a pity.

And many people in the world are like this, impatient, impatient, and impatient. They think they know what will happen next after listening to the beginning, but in fact they are far from it.

Just as Zhang Zhiwen entered the secret realm from the beginning, would he know so many things happened later? He obviously didn't know, and would Princess Zhao Qingyao know that things turned out like this? Obviously, she didn't know either.

If the storyteller had told Zhang Zhiwen's story, wouldn't some people have left impatiently at the beginning, and then missed these interesting things later?

The so-called secret realm is actually just a process of cultivation in life. Zhang Zhiwen sat by the window, drinking tea, and had some insights in his heart, and the insights came from every little bit of life. Enlightenment will change people's personality, and personality is actually the self.

Suddenly, all of this was integrated, and Zhang Zhiwen's vision became extremely broad. Although life is only a few decades, his life has changed after embarking on the path of cultivation. It is no longer just a few decades.

Even if you are a mortal and have no cultivation, you still have the opportunity to practice. With cultivation, you will understand these things, that is, your understanding will be greatly improved, then death is not the end, but another rebirth, the beginning of another journey of life.

In this case, then life is no longer just a few decades, right or not?

Since life is not just a few decades, it must be a long road of cultivation. Then, the better the character is, the more powerful the cultivation will be. Zhang Zhiwen is no exception.

"Okay, take the reward!"

Zhang Zhiwen was inspired and threw out a silver ingot.

"Thank you, dear guest, thank you, dear guest!"

The little girl was overjoyed and ran out to receive the reward. The old man who told the story also expressed his gratitude to Zhang Zhiwen. Zhang Zhiwen didn't care much. He just sat and continued to listen to the old man patiently.

"Some people say that it is difficult to change one's nature, which is true. To be honest, this Prince Li Da, the nineteenth son of the emperor, has been very smart since he was a child..."

The old man began to describe Li Da's situation in detail. This time, the guests who were originally shouting did not come out to interrupt.

But some people still wondered, "Old man, this is not right. Didn't you say that last time?"

"Oh? Then what did I say last time?"

The old man didn't even know what he said last time, which made the guest a little confused about what to say.

But someone next to him said, "Old man, you said he was stupid last time, and now you said he was smart. So is he smart? Or stupid?"

"Yes, yes, you clearly said he was stupid last time!"

"Yes, we have all heard it!"

"Haha, in fact, he said Li Da was a monster with a sphinx last time!"

...

"Okay, old man, you are just talking nonsense, whatever you think of!"

"That can't be the case. You are just messing around and cheating us out of money!"

...

The guests started to make a fuss again, but the old man smiled slightly and didn't care much. The little girl was unhappy.

"Hey, who said that storytelling must quote classics and must give an accurate answer? If you want to hear the truth, then you can go to Shangshuyuan and ask the official to bring out the history books to check. Whatever my grandfather says is right, just listen to it..."

This little girl is not a pushover, she is very good at talking.

After saying this, the group of people below were speechless. Yes, why do you care about a storyteller? Knowing that this thing is true or false, how can it be right or wrong?

But some people just have to make it clear and think that this is wrong. Is it worth it? Isn't he tired of living like this?

Zhang Zhiwen also smiled slightly. He felt that this worldly thing was interesting. Coming to this teahouse to listen to the story, he also heard the truth of life.

But this is also a good thing. He just wants to understand life. Good fortune is hidden in every bit of life.

So, Zhang Zhiwen threw out another ingot of silver.

"Okay, well said, I'll give you a reward!"

"Oh, thank you, sir, may you be well!"

The little girl was blinded by the money and immediately picked up the silver ingot.

"Cui'er, you can't just take it, return it!"

But the old man also has rules, and he stopped the little girl at once. The little girl was a little unhappy on the spot, but she still didn't dare to disobey her grandfather's wishes. She honestly returned the silver ingot to Zhang Zhiwen.

Zhang Zhiwen looked at the silver ingot on the table and said nothing.

"Okay, let's continue and say that Li Da is very smart..."
