Autumn, early autumn and late summer, the leaves of the wood are rustling.
There was a huge house at the end of the street to the east of the shop. In the past, the door was always open, and there were always guests coming and going.
Now the two red-lacquered doors have not been opened for almost a year.
The red paint of the former high gate has long since peeled off, and the copper ring has rusted. There is no laughter, noisy, no human voice inside the high wall. The house has become a dead place, the most prestigious dead place in the world.
Sun Tuozi was the shopkeeper. Looking at the huge mansion, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and retreated into the shop.
There were five tables of customers sitting in the shop. The first table was an alcoholic. On the table was a plate of dried tofu, a plate of peanuts, two steamed buns, and seven bottles of wine. The wine had been finished and the alcoholic was unconscious.
At the second table were two customers with beards, tall and strong. Not only were they dressed exactly the same, but the knives hanging on their waists were also exactly the same.
There were four guests at the third table. One of them was tall, one was short, a young man with a purple face and a spear, and a woman wearing green clothes and gold and silver.
There was only one person at the fourth table. He was very thin and very tall. His face was longer than that of a horse, and he had a green mark as big as a fist. He did not have a sword on his body, but he had a soft belt around his waist. whip.
As for the guests at the last table, there was an old storyteller holding a cigarette and a beautiful girl with big braids.
The old storyteller was naturally telling stories, and the girl with pigtails was also helping.
The braided girl smiled and said, "Grandpa, which part should we talk about today?"
The old storyteller took a puff of dry cigarette, spit it out, and then said slowly and authentically: "Have you ever heard of the names Yianyue and Yaoyue?"
The braided girl clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Of course I have heard of it, the world's greatest devil and the world's greatest female devil."
The old storyteller asked: "Does Hong'er know why Jianghu calls them the two most powerful demons in the world?"
The braided girl shook her head and said, "I won't know until grandpa tells me."
The old storyteller blew his smoke and sighed, "Then let's tell their story today."
In the small shop, the customers who were not paying attention to the storyteller suddenly couldn't help but pay full attention.
The old storyteller slowly said: "This matter starts from last winter. No one in the world knows the origins of Yi Yi and Yao Yue, but when they appeared, it was the golden silk goods of the 'Golden Lion Escort Agency'. That's when A' was lost. The person in charge of escorting 'Golden Silk Armor' was Zhuge Lei, the Swift Sword of Wind, and he died in Yao Yue's hands."
The braided girl said: "Did they take the golden silk armor?"
The old man shook his head and said: "Since then, the golden silk armor has disappeared, and no one knows where it is. However, people in the world think that it was taken away by the couple. As the saying goes, 'To kill the plum blossom thief, you must first get the gold. "Silk Armor', as long as you get the golden silk armor and kill the Plum Blossom Thief, you will not only be famous in the world, but also have huge wealth and the favor of the most beautiful woman in the world. So at that time, people from all walks of life came to find their couple."
The braided girl asked: "What happened to those people?"
The old man said: "Dead, all dead, seventy-eight people in total, including green forest thieves, martial arts rookies, and martial arts seniors. They all died in the hands of Yao Yue. And the name of the female devil Yao Yue came from this. "
The braided girl stared with big eyes and said, "Then if Yao Yue killed so many people, wouldn't he have offended more people."
The old man said: "For this reason, Fourth Master Long of Xingyun Village invited all the righteous people in the martial arts world to gather all the people to kill the devil and take back the treasured clothes."
The braided girl asked: "How many people have they gathered in total?"
The old man said calmly: "This time they gathered a total of 387 people from the martial arts world. Even the Shaolin Dharma Protector Master Xin Mei took four disciples to Xingyun Village."
The braided girl was surprised and said, "Then this couple is in for a big disaster."
The old storyteller blew out a puff of smoke, and then sighed: "It's not the couple who are in trouble, but the people in Xingyun Village!"
This time, without waiting to ask questions, the old man continued: "There are nearly four hundred people, all of whom are skilled in martial arts, including many who have been famous for a long time, but no one could have imagined that the result would be like this..."
The braided girl quickly asked: "What's the result?"
The old man said solemnly: "Before they could come to the door, Yi Yi and Yao Yue came first. After that, the ground of Xingyun Village was washed away with blood, the courtyard was paved with corpses, and no living person walked out of the vermilion door again. , except for the couple."
The braided girl exclaimed: "But I heard that Shaolin Master Xinmei and four disciples are still alive, and Flying Swordsman and Li Tanhua are also in the village, and they all survived in the end."
The old man lamented: "They did survive, but the remaining 387 people all died in Xingyun Village."
The braided girl said: "What happened there?"
The old man shook his head and said: "The Flying Swordsman has disappeared, and there is no news about Li Tanhua. Shaolin has closed its mountains and closed its temples. I am afraid no one in the world knows what happened that day."
The braided girl asked: "Where are their husband and wife?"
The old man chanted: "'Walking to the Nine Gai and Eight Laos, lying down to watch the world and the earth when my life is over.' This is a couplet outside the gate of Ren's Mansion. It is said that the people who went to Xingyun Village to collect the corpses, after seeing the tragic situation in the village, They were all frightened out of their wits, and no one dared to seek revenge on the couple."
After finishing speaking, the old man drank a large bowl of wine and continued to smoke cigarettes.
There was no sound in the shop for a long time.
Suddenly, the purple-faced boy said: "Although the story is magical, the couple is not as terrible as the rumors say. No one has ever seen what happened in Xingyun Village."
The tall and thin man at the other table sneered: "Although no one knows what happened that day, those seventy-eight people, as well as the 'Green Demon Hand' Yi Chou, all died in Yao Yue's hands."
The purple-faced boy paused and suddenly lost his words.
The tall and thin man glanced at the hall and said slowly: "'White-haired Monkey' Hu Fei, 'Hercules' Duan Kaishan, 'Iron Gun Bully' Yang Chengzu, 'Water Snake' Hu Mei and 'Nanshan Double Tigers' Han brothers ... You are not far from death either."
The Han brothers stood up and slapped the table, yelling: "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak so loudly here..."
Before the words fall, the sound stops immediately!
Those who stood up suddenly bowed their heads and sat down. Those who had not stood up did not dare to stand up again. They were not afraid of the tall and thin man, but of the people who walked into the store.
White clothes and white hair, the greatest devil in the world!
Ran Ran walked in with a leisurely expression, looked at the old man telling the story, then at the girl making faces at him, and then sat down next to the drunk guy.
At this time, Sun Tuozi, the shopkeeper, suddenly walked out of the back hall, holding a long sword like snow and jade in his hand.
When someone came, he asked casually: "Can't it be repaired?"
Sun Tuozi shook his head and said: "There is no blacksmith in the entire Baoding City who can do it. I have even asked several famous people."
Randomly sighed and said: "That's all."
Sun Tuozi nodded and stepped back.
After he stepped back, what appeared in front of Anyan Yi was a fair, bright face, with a pair of big watery eyes looking at the Xianyin Sword on the table.
"Is this your sword?"
He nodded arbitrarily and said, "I carry a sword with me."
The braided girl said, "Is it broken?"
Randomly said: "The blade is broken."
Her big eyes opened even wider, and she said with surprise: "How did it break?"
Ranyi said calmly: "Because the martial arts is too high, the sword edge cannot bear it."
The braided girl showed a narrow smile and asked: "Then tell me how high your martial arts skills are."
Ran Ran glanced at the old storyteller, then smiled and said, "I can stab someone like your grandfather to death with just one finger."
The old man's hand holding the cigarette suddenly trembled, and the little girl glared at him fiercely and spat: "You are indeed a big devil, the biggest devil in the world."
As she spoke, she also stepped back.
However, at this time, another group of customers came to the shop.
