Chapter 1 Storyteller Lu Yan
“The book is followed last time!”
"Sword roars for six thousand miles, goodbye to Huang Zhentu!"
"By the way, this groom Lao Huang, who has followed the prince and traveled 6,000 miles in three years, has a not simple origin."
"This old Huang was originally a blacksmith. He has learned the sword's way for thirty years. He once became a disciple of the sword-eating ancestor Sui Xiegu. He is a brother of the same sect as the Sword Emperor in Xishu."
"The sword box behind him contains six of the top ten famous swords in the world, and can be called a collector!"
"It is such a peerless swordsman who, in his early years, went to the East China Martial Emperor City to challenge the world's second king Xianzhi in order to make his master famous."
"However, unfortunately, he was defeated and left behind the famous sword Huanglu at the head of Emperor Wu's city."
"This defeat has become a regret that Lao Huang has always been in his heart."
"After several twists and turns, Lao Huang became a groom in the Beiliang Prince's Mansion. He was familiar with the prince since childhood and regarded the prince as his only relative in this world."
...
The Ming Dynasty, the Seven Heroes Town, Tongfu Inn.
Lu Yan, dressed in white, sat on the high platform, holding a fan in his hand, talking freely.
In the audience, dozens of tables were filled with people, three layers inside and three layers outside, and there seemed to be at least hundreds of people.
And outside the inn, there were also people standing there, one by one, one by one, for fear of missing any word.
On the second floor, the widest place, a tall and mighty man wearing a cloth hat and gray rag clothes, sat there, with a windy and frosty face, looking very powerful.
"I really didn't expect that when I traveled to this Ming Dynasty, I could actually hear such a wonderful story in this small town of Seven Heroes. It was really worth the trip."
While commenting, the man was very generous while eating meat and drinking with big mouthfuls.
This is his fifth time coming to listen to books, and he is increasingly appreciating Lu Yan.
It’s a pity that this is the Ming Dynasty, and no one knows his identity. If a martial artist from the Song Dynasty saw him here, he would be shocked and shouted “Gangmaster Qiao”!
Qiao Feng was born in the Beggars' Sect and was involved in the market in his early years. His favorite was listening to books.
Over the years, Qiao Feng has heard countless classic stories, but no classic is comparable to this volume of "In the Snow". The various aspects of the world really make people want to be there.
"After today's storytelling is over, I will definitely find an opportunity to get to know Mr. Lu."
As he said that, Qiao Feng reached out and took out a silver ingot from his arms, threw it to Bai Zhantang who was standing beside him, and said, "Waiter, let's have another pot of good wine and two kilograms of cooked beef!"
"Okay, please wait and come soon."
Bai Zhantang collected the money and looked at Qiao Feng, who was imposing again. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. He had never heard of such a martial arts master in the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that he came from other dynasties?
In front of the counter, shopkeeper Tong Xiangyu looked at the guests in front of him, as if he had seen mountains of gold and silver, and his beautiful face was full of smiles.
She looked at Lu Yan, who was sitting on the high platform again, and said, "Well, this Lu Yan is not simple. It's really right to keep him in the inn to tell a book!"
...
On the high platform, Lu Yan took a sip of tea and continued: "To motivate the prince and for himself, Lao Huang knew that he could not do anything, but he had to move forward bravely. He resolutely decided to go alone to the Wudi City of the East China Sea and fight Wang Xianzhi again!"
"A few months later, Lao Huang climbed to the Wudi City with a sword box and faced Wang Xianzhi."
"The five swords in the old Huang box were all out, and the eight swords were picked up at will. Wang Xianzhi responded with one hand. The two fought together with 68 moves, no victory or defeat!"
"At this time, Lao Huang used his sword to 9,600 miles, like a galaxy pouring over thousands of miles, with the sword intent lofting!"
"Faced with this sword that was enough to amazed the entire world, Wang Xianzhi finally moved his right hand and fought with all his strength!"
"Old Huang used Sword Nine to defeat Wang Xian again forty-nine moves, and eventually he was exhausted and his meridians were broken!"
"The prince never thought that the farewell between him and Lao Huang outside Lingzhou City would be the day when they would never meet again!"
Everyone in the audience was immersed in the world described by Lu Yan, as if they had witnessed the shocking battle at the top of Emperor Wu’s city. They saw Lao Huang sitting south and north, and then called waiter to give him a pot of yellow wine as the prince!
Just thinking about that scene made everyone unable to help but feel swaying and surging!
As a person in the world, who doesn’t yearn for such a magnificent and ups and downs!
After a long time, everyone gradually came to their senses and immediately applauded Lu Yan.
"Excellent, it's so wonderful!"
"Old Huang is so amazing, it's a pity!"
"Old Huang is sincere to the prince, which is really touching!"
"Just thinking about the last tragic scene, I can't help but burst into tears!"
"What happened later? Did the prince avenge Lao Huang?"
Facing the curious people, Lu Yan smiled slightly, slapped the auspicious tree, and said lightly: "I regard my life as a greeting to welcome the prince into the world. This episode has ended. If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next episode."
When everyone heard Lu Yan's words, their faces were full of disappointment. Lu Yan's stop meant that they would have to wait another three days before they could hear the story of "In the Snow".
Just thinking about it, everyone felt as if there were ants crawling on their bodies, which was very uncomfortable.
It’s not that no one spends a lot of money and wants Lu Yan to say more, but Lu Yan always refuses him politely and never breaks the rules for anyone. Over time, everyone becomes accustomed to Lu Yan’s rules and no longer forces them.
Just as Lu Yan was about to leave and went back to his room to see how much popularity the storyteller had obtained this time and whether it was enough to open the mall to redeem, someone suddenly shouted loudly.
"Mr. Lu, you said before that Wang Xianzhi of the Wudi City of the East China Sea is the second highest in the world, so I wonder who is the number one in the world?"
When everyone heard this person's words, their eyes lit up and they began to discuss.
"No matter how powerful Wang Xianzhi is, he is just a character in the book after all. He just doesn't know who is the best in the world!"
"Mr. Lu, according to your opinion, who is the best in the world in this world?"
"My true man Zhang Sanfeng and Zhenren of Wudang Mountain in the Ming Dynasty will definitely win the world's number one!"
"I don't think so, the Eastern leader of the Sun and Moon God Sect is also extremely powerful!"
"Mr. Lu, please comment, who is the best in the world in this world?"
"Or, Mr. Lu, you might as well rank a list for everyone and let everyone judge!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I want me to say, don't just compete for the best in the world. It would be interesting to arrange all the strong people in the world together and compare them!"
Lu Yan looked at the enthusiastic people, stopped and said with a smile: "As you are curious about the world's number one thing, I might as well say a few more words."
"Although the old saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts, there are many strong people in the world. Some people have never even met each other. If they forcefully rank a list, they will not be fair and just."
I made a big recommendation today, so I have some words to say to new friends here.
New author, there may be some problems with the beginning of the early chapter, but it will be much better later. You can take a look at the free chapters first and then withdraw if you don’t like them.
The real story unfolds in the Walker Chapter. If you are interested, you can jump and watch it.
Finally, I humbly accept criticism, but I do not accept the random criticism. Thank you for your support.
Also, my little tentacle monster updates 15,000 words every day!!!
