Tang Zhao was referring to the changed place where the special event was held, which was Teng Liang's home.
He said that changing the place had no other meaning. He just wanted to change the place so that the old blind man would not be with those disgusting coke, and go to a spacious and cleaner place to perform, where he would be less afraid, have a better mental stability, and be able to It would be nice to just sing the song safely.
In fact, he could completely stop the old blind man from singing to this person, or even drive away the uninvited guest. But that would have consequences. As long as he didn't kill the man this time, the man would never give up and would look for the old blind man next time. Maybe when he came next time, he would remember that he had been wronged and take the old blind man when he left. Take it out.
Killing is a choice that will never lead to future troubles, but it is risky and unnecessary. Tang Zhao is not a Jianghu person, and he does not have such a big addiction to killing. Moreover, he has to risk the opponent's panic and jump over the wall to protect two ordinary people from the magic weapon at the same time. Unless he has no choice, he will not choose the riskiest option.
After all, it was just a chance encounter. It was impossible for Tang Zhao to protect the old blind man forever, let alone formulate a "witness protection plan" for the old blind man to fly away. Rather than protecting him temporarily and letting him fall into subsequent danger, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity he has here to let the old blind man sing the song to the end and let the man listen to it. And since they left for the first time, the number of people who come back specifically to silence them is likely to be much smaller.
As for the Yunzhongqu itself, Tang Zhao was a little interested, so it didn't hurt to listen to it, but more importantly, he wanted to be a living witness. As long as he was still alive, there was no point in just killing the old blind man and silencing him.
So when it comes to the venue for the performance, it can be anywhere. It is best to have a quiet place with few people. If this person turns against him and takes action, it will help Tang Zhao to fight quickly and not affect too many people. If possible, Tang Zhao's own home would be fine.
It's a pity that Tang Zhao's home is in Zhongcheng. The city gate is now locked. If he wants to go back, he needs to climb over the wall or ask for the city gate to be opened. Climbing over the wall carries the risk of being discovered, so asking to open the city gate—Tang Zhao would only open the city gate if he was crazy.
There are not many safe, clean places with few people in the outer city, and the only one I can think of nearby is Teng Liang's house. Teng Liang was actually a little unhappy, but when Tang Zhao asked him, he somehow didn't dare to refuse, so the matter was settled.
Before leaving, Tang Zhao burned the pile of coke with a light flame. The temperature of the sun was enough to make the charcoal vaporize cleanly, without harming the tattered mat on the side. Teng Liang looked at it and felt confused. Although the uninvited guest looked sideways, he remained silent after watching it. The murderous aura that seemed to be substantial in his body gradually dissipated.
Teng Liang's home is two blocks away from this alley, in another alley.
To be honest, this alleyway is not wider and cleaner, it is still narrow and dilapidated. With Teng Liang's current status, he doesn't even have a house of his own in a small alley like this. Instead, he rents a small courtyard with two other gangsters.
But the two gangsters were not there at this time, saying they were going to drink.
This is normal. There are gangsters who have no tomorrow today. Those like Teng Liang who still want to climb up are considered ambitious. Most gangsters don’t think about the future and spend the day with their heads on their waistbands. Money, when you get money, you eat flowers and wine, squander all your belongings, and rarely go home to sleep except to recuperate.
Consider them lucky.
The man walked in the door first, walked around the yard to make sure there was no one else in the yard, then entered the main room and stood in the middle, saying, "Okay, let's stay here."
Teng Liang wanted to say that he actually lived in a wing room, and there was a gangster living in the main room, but he probably wouldn't listen. Even if the gangster came back to protest, it would probably be ineffective. He immediately pulled a stool and asked the old blind man to sit down and shrink down. He nodded and said, "You listen to the music, I'll go out and get you some water." Then he slipped out.
He really couldn't stay in this room, not even with Tang Zhao.
It was even said that Tang Zhao was one of the reasons why he couldn't stay.
Tang Zhao had always restrained his momentum when getting along with him before. He looked no different from the young scholar when he was a child. There was no obstacle for the two of them to put their arms around each other. But just now, in order to fight against this enemy of unknown origin, Tang Zhao released some of his momentum.
It is indeed just a part of the momentum. The opponent is not a swordsman, so there is no need to fight with a sword element level. Releasing the sword essence is also a kind of consumption for Tang Zhao. He only maintains the minimum momentum. The internal energy flows throughout the body, and the gang energy is contained but not released.
Although he only had this little momentum, it still overwhelmed Teng Liang to the point of trembling with fear, as if there was a mountain of knives standing next to him. The cold air stung his scalp and made him feel cold. He wanted to run away several times along the way, but he didn't dare to run away.
Only then did he realize that the master who killed someone with one glance in the story really existed.
And Tang Zhao and the unknown person are the masters in the story, and they are definitely not in the same world as themselves.
If he is given a few days to relax, he might figure out the pros and cons, and muster up the courage to come to Tang Zhao and try to get closer to the new world, but now he just wants to escape far away, unlike in the story. He was rolled up to death just like a little bitch.
As for Akiko...it should be fine, right?
He should be stronger, right?
Although Teng Liang didn't understand that level of martial arts at all, he felt that judging from the atmosphere, Tang Zhao should be stronger. As a gangster who has been around for four years, he actually knows how to read eyes, so he can tell who is strong and who is weak by looking at the attitudes of both parties. That vicious guy was obviously crushed.
That's good. Zhaozi is fine and he can run away with confidence.
Teng Liang ran out, and Tang Zhao felt relieved. He poked the charcoal stove in the corner and started the fire. He took out the teapot and put it on the fire to boil water, as if he were at home.
The man didn't sit down either. He stood sideways in the room, facing Tang Zhao from the side, watching him operate coldly. Seeing Tang Zhao's unhurried and slow movements, he became a little impatient and glanced at Tang Zhao. Sweeping it away, I just thought: Is this delaying time? Or is there some other conspiracy? Could it be that the poison was mixed into the carbon and the smoke was poisoned? If it's poison, it's the wrong target.
When the water boiled and the room became warm, Tang Zhao poured several cups of tea, gave one cup to the old blind man, and said, "Old man, clear your throat before you start singing." He handed another cup to the man.
The man sneered, let alone drinking tea, he didn't even touch the cup, and didn't even turn around.
Tang Zhao looked at him leaning sideways thoughtfully, then retracted the cup and took a sip himself.
The old man gradually became warmer, took another sip of tea to moisten his throat, and calmed down a little. After all, he is an old Jianghu. He has been in the dock for so many years. He has experienced wind and waves. He finally calmed down and started to adjust the pitch of the string. After playing it a few times, he made a sound of "Bang Bang——".
"You two masters -" he said, "You two masters", but he was facing the direction of Tang Zhao. That was where Tang Zhao's voice came from just now. He felt safe in his heart when he faced Tang Zhao.
"Today I will sing you a piece of 'Dream in the Cloud'. It tells the story of a simple young man who accidentally entered a cloud, saw a city in the cloud, and met a good girl. He lived there for several years and then returned to the city. The story of returning to the human world. I accidentally learned this story from an old gentleman when I was young. I haven’t performed it for many years. The lyrics are not accurate and I have forgotten many of the songs. If there is anything I can’t understand, please let me know. Please bear with me, both of you."
Tang Zhao was stunned and thought: It really is this!
Isn't this the song version of "Yunmeng Xiandu"?
Tang Zhao suddenly thought of the book Black Widow gave him. At that time, after reading it, he guessed that maybe the fairy city described in the book really existed and was a powerful sword. He also guessed that the Black Widow had illusions about this sword?
Later, the Black Widow did not show up and did not mention the matter when he sent people several times. Tang Zhao also forgot about the matter.
Don't say that he doesn't know whether it is true or not, even if there is such a powerful sword waiting for him in the clouds, as a swordsman, he doesn't care. No matter how powerful that sword is, can it be as good as the "Golden Crow Sword" that supports a corner of the Shattered Realm? He wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to give him the Golden Crow Sword.
Did this young man come after him just to hear this story? Like Black Widow, he also wants this sword?
Tang Zhao felt that he was inseparable: this person is still young, so he naturally has dreams and the motivation to pursue dreams; he can use magic weapons at the stage of ordinary people, and his inspiration and talent are not low; judging by his clothes and temperament, his family is probably rich, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be difficult for the character to become a swordsman. But since he is not, apart from not being successful in cultivation, he is probably still ambitious and wants the best - he doesn't like ordinary swords, and what he pursues is the legendary sword.
Naturally, Tang Zhao would not comment on other people's pursuit of dreams. He just felt that it was unreliable - the legendary sword really only had legends. It was either printed by the previous dynasty, or it was a piece of music learned by a blind old artist. What clues can be found here?
If it were so easy to find, could it still be a legend?
Beng Beng——Zeng——
"What I'm talking about is, in the Xishan Village outside Xishan, there is a young man. If you ask how the young man was born, he's got a ring... thick eyebrows and big eyes..."
This word is real water.
Tang Zhao listened listlessly. Although the old man sang in his native accent and played the popular Xianzi music in Twilight City, he had not been used to hearing it since he was a child, and the old man's singing was not good either. Tang Zhao wonders if he can sell this song to make money? No wonder it was lost.
Next, there are seven or eight sentences describing the appearance of "Little Prince", and each sentence is full of poetry.
Listening to this song, Tang Zhao really wanted to apologize to the writers of Yunmeng Xiandu - I said before that your writing was bad, so I'm really sorry.
"That young gentleman...what's his name? He's called Xu Congsheng..."
When Tang Zhao heard this, he was suddenly shocked: No!
The name has changed!
That's not the name in the book!
Tang Zhao has forgotten many plots of that book, but he has not forgotten the name of the protagonist of the book. The protagonist of that book is named Meng Yun.
Even though it’s just a name change, there are a lot of things worth pondering.
According to general logic, if the music is to be adapted from the book, then the name should not be changed. Changing the name has no selling point, just like the storyteller said about the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness, Zhan Zhao must not be changed to Zhan Xiaoer.
And if it needs to be changed, it should be changed to a more popular one, because the audience that Tanqu faces needs to be closer to the public, and a name that is too remote and elegant is not easy to spread. The name Meng Yun is easy to remember and vulgar, and it also coincides with the title of the book. It is absolutely impossible to change it to the more complicated Xu Congsheng.
Maybe...it's not that the book is changed to the music, but the other way around?
This song is the original!
The young man showed a smile: "Finally I found it."
