Chapter 424

There were more than ten tables in the teahouse, and they were already filled with customers. There were even customers standing in the gaps of the aisles, holding cups in their hands and waiting with their heads raised. It was as lively as the temple fair.

For the middle and lower class people who lived a dull and dull life, listening to the storyteller read the newspaper had become one of the rare pleasures. At least it was more worthwhile than drinking unclean wine. They could still bear to listen to it every now and then, and when they went back, they could get a warm welcome from their neighbors. They could tell them about the colorful martial arts world, as well as the anecdotes of Yuexi and other foreign places that were far away but also seemed very close to them, adding color to their pale lives.

Qian Pingan saw such a scene when he stepped into the teahouse, but he seemed to be in a trance, his thoughts drifting away, and he did not care about what he saw.

"I heard from the owner that the four major rice merchants in the capital are working together to stop foreign grain from entering the capital. They hired assassins, hired martial arts masters, and colluded with officials of the imperial court to restore the price of rice to normal. It seems that more than ten lives have been lost, and many grain merchants have died …"

"And the day before yesterday, the Wulin Express published a letter from Tan Hai, the head of the rice merchants in the five southern provinces. He said that he will enter the capital with the South Sea God Sword, Lin Zu, and pay a visit to the Minister of the Left …"

"For decades, there have been no masters in the martial arts world. The South Sea God Sword and the Sad Palm are the closest. According to the Wulin Express, the rice merchants' dispute this time will not be resolved …"

"The people of the Cao Gang have been very angry recently. They will fight after a few words. Chen Xiucai in the alley said that they will rebel sooner or later and ask for food …"

Qian Pingan's mind kept spinning with the latest news. The reason why he was in a trance was because he had an impulse to try. There seemed to be a lot of things happening in the world. The Wulin Express always described it as an era of great changes, giving people a wonderful feeling of spring.

The owner's rice shop was becoming more and more difficult. It seemed that he would not be able to work for long. Should he continue to work in other shops and slowly become a manager, only to see the sky surrounded by "four walls" for the rest of his life, or should he go out and make a living, seizing this "era of great changes"?

If he went out and made a living, he had never learned martial arts and had little capital. What should he do?

Hmm, the goods from the north and south of the capital were getting cheaper, and it was said that his hometown still did not have these things. That was right, the teleportation circle only existed in the big cities. Should he buy some goods from the south and go there on credit?

Pa!

Qian Pingan involuntarily shivered and returned to reality from his thoughts.

Looking up, he saw the storyteller pick up the Wulin Express.

"As the old saying goes, the sword is heartless, but the lover is affectionate. Even the God-petrifying Sword is no exception. Today, I will tell you about his romantic affairs." The storyteller stroked his beard and shook his head.

Everyone's spirits were immediately lifted. To them, romantic affairs were much more attractive than the anecdotes of the pugilistic world.

"The first round, trapped in an illusory realm, the Enchanted Lake Immortal, trying to form a sword with clouds and rain."

.

"The second time, I passed the Hua Mansion in the middle of the night, and the sword was bright. I climbed the Embroidered Tower and ran under the moonlight.

. Flowers. Love. and night. and.

"In the third chapter, Hua Kui helped Xiao Meng, the red candle had no tears."

.

This issue of the Wulin Express published three chapters of the story, which made Qian Pingan and the others restless. They hated that it ended too early and there was no follow-up. They hated that the brush was too gentle but the key parts were skipped over, making them feel like their blood was pumping and they had nowhere to vent it. It was as if they had entered a brothel to select the most popular courtesan, only to realize that the sky was already bright after taking off their pants, and they had just woken up from a dream.

But could the newspaper publish this kind of article? Could it be published in the hall of elegance?

Everyone was a little confused. The current world was still conservative. There were only erotic pictures and such. The erotic songs sung in the brothel were known for being explicit. It was rare to see such an elaborate and fascinating plot.

After leaving the teahouse, the story lingered in Qian Pingan's mind. He tossed and turned at night, unable to sleep. He kept thinking about the development of the story and the images of the fairies and ladies. He wished the sky would be bright so that the Wulin Express could be updated.

The unprecedented fresh excitement made people excited. Coupled with Shang Jiuming's persistence, all the opposing voices of "the world's moral degeneration and people's hearts are not what they used to be" were forcefully suppressed.

"Twelfth. Visiting the embassy. Meng met the Devil Queen for the first time. She took off her white veil and turned into a devil."

…

"Fourteenth. She was shot in the dark and fell into the forbidden palace. She acted like a hero and saved a beauty."

…

The key moment was gone again … Qian Pingan was anxious. He wanted to grab the author and write seventy or eighty chapters. At the same time, based on his trust in the Wulin Express, he was extremely envious of Awakening Celestial Sword Meng. His swordsmanship was outstanding. He walked among beautiful ladies and won their hearts. He was a winner in life.

Too bad I'm not Awakening Celestial Sword … Qian Pingan sighed regretfully and walked out of the teahouse.

At this moment, a person came out from a dark corner and quietly flashed over. He lowered his voice and said, "Do you want to continue?"

"What continuation?" Qian Pingan asked blankly.

"The continuation of Awakening Celestial Sword and the Devil Queen's participation in the Plain Girl Thirty-Six Forms. There are no cuts. Only five copper coins!" The person looked around and answered carefully.

Qian Pingan's heart skipped a beat. "Yes!"

As he spoke, he had already fished out five copper coins and bought a thin booklet.

"Remember, the other sequels are all adulterated. Only Scholar Little Gao's is full of literary talent and color." That person accepted the copper coins and left hurriedly to look for the next customer after saying these words.

Qian Pingan was excited. He held the booklet tightly and returned home as if he was stepping on clouds. He locked the door, lit the candle, and flipped open the book.

"F * ck, I can't read. Why did I buy it!" Qian Pingan let out an angry roar.

This was the sorrow of being illiterate …

…

Inside a restaurant.

"I don't believe Awakening Celestial Sword is this kind of person." Gao Fuchen held the hilt of his sword tightly. It seemed like he wanted to go to the headquarters of the Wulin Express to discuss the matter.

His companion laughed and said, "How can a master like Awakening Celestial Sword not have women pestering him? It's just a romantic affair. What's there to talk about?"

For men in this era, romantic affairs did not affect their image at all. Instead, it proved their charm.

Gao Fuchen frowned and said, "Awakening Celestial Sword should be a swordsman who is devoted to the sword and only has eyes for the sword!"

"No, think about it. When he escorted Lu Guan to the capital, he was accompanied by beautiful women. His cooperation with the Devil Empress was also well-known. When he reappeared in Jianghu for the second time, he was the first to find the Devil Empress. I don't believe it if you say there's no adultery." His companion increasingly felt that the romantic secret history was the truth.

"But, but …" Gao Fuchen could not refute.

His companion shook his head and laughed, "Only great heroes can be true to their true colors. A true scholar is naturally romantic. Awakening Celestial Sword did not lose his integrity and was able to break it. Romantic affairs are just minor details."

"That's true …" Gao Fuchen sighed. Although it made sense, the image of Awakening Celestial Sword in his heart seemed to have collapsed.

…

Within the various branches of the Demonic Gate, the Evil Demon Heretics were grieving.

They were not lamenting that the Devil Empress had an affair with Awakening Celestial Sword. After all, it had been more than a hundred years. It was not a big deal. They were just angry that the secret history described the various branches of the Demonic Gate as extremely incompetent.

But they did not have the right to speak. They could not even find a way to protest!

Should they support a puppet and start a new newspaper? Or should they send men of sacrifice to attack the Wulin Express?

…

In a certain secret room, an ordinary person picked up the letter placed inside.

"Assassinate the Wulin Express, Shang Jiuming."

The normal person tore the letter into pieces and swallowed it. A long sword shining with green light appeared in his hand.

He was a world-famous assassin. He did not have a name passed down, nor did he take the initiative to leave behind a title. It was only because he had killed many people that he was known as the Faceless God of Death.

But he felt that he was a sword, a Fish Intestine Sword. He was usually hidden in a fish's belly, hidden in a map, hiding its light. When the sword was drawn, the light would be so dazzling that it would light up the sky. Even he himself would be touched.

Shang Jiuming was already a dead man!

…

Romantic affairs were harmless. The image of Awakening Celestial Sword was slowly changing.

In these few months, Mengqi used the Celestial Sword Puppet to carefully understand the feedback and the subtle increase and decrease of the connection.

"Just a little bit more …" He suddenly understood which direction to adjust to!

He was the choice of the Devil Buddha Ananda to get out of trouble. Before he got rid of the suppression, he would definitely try his best to improve his strength. In other words, when he was still under his control, his own Legendary image would be close to his additional self. This would allow him to obtain legendary characteristics again in the future and improve his strength. It would be easier for him to cooperate with the outside world to break the seal!

…

Qian Pingan stepped into the teahouse again. He was full of energy and his eyes were bright. He seemed to have found his direction.

Yes, he was here to bid farewell to the teahouse. He was going to follow King Xiaoyao out to sea!

With the teleportation circle, there was no need to worry about the goods being swallowed by the wind and waves when exploring overseas. They only needed to set up a formation locally and send the goods back. Therefore, many masters looked to overseas and organized fleets. After King Xiaoyao cooperated with the Wulin Express, he even announced to the world:

The Great Voyage Era had arrived!

This made him excited. A brand new life seemed to be presented in front of him.

"Today's headline, Zen Master Zhending reveals the true identity of Awakening Celestial Sword." The storyteller's voice seemed a little solemn.

"What true identity?" Qian Pingan was stunned.

"Zen Master Zhending is a conscientious researcher of Wulin classics. He believes that Awakening Celestial Sword is actually the reincarnation of the Demon Lord through a secret method! Otherwise, it would not be enough to explain why his martial arts were like a gift from the heavens. In just a few years, he could break through the void and leave. Otherwise, it would not be enough to explain why the Devil Empress liked him so much and fell in love at first sight. More importantly, the Demon Lord suddenly left when he was at his peak and became a monk, leaving behind a maxim. This is too abnormal and there must be something strange going on. If he was secretly preparing to reincarnate and break through the void, then it would be very clear! "The storyteller gasped. This theory was too shocking.

However, a large part of the Demon Lord's Vitality Essence was indeed absorbed by Awakening Celestial Sword!

In a restaurant, Gao Fuchen suddenly stood up and said coldly,

"I'm going to kill this Zen Master Zhending. I'll let him know that he can eat whatever he wants, but he can't say whatever he wants."

…

A few months later, Zen Master Zhending could not find this person.

However, this article that caused many people to fall into a heated debate had received a high degree of recognition from the various branches of the Demonic Gate. The image of Awakening Celestial Sword had split, and the split part made Mengqi feel that the characteristics of the projection were unusually obvious. The subtle connection was virtual, but it had already taken shape!
