"It's just that the old storyteller traveled all over the world and not only told countless stories, but also experienced countless stories personally.
It is precisely because of his extensive knowledge that he understands that some money can be taken and some money cannot be taken.
He is just a storyteller.
It¡¯s enough to earn some copper coins. The piece of silver in front of him far exceeds the value of his labor.
If things go wrong, there must be a demon.
He was greedy and took more property than he could reasonably obtain, so he must make up for it in other ways.
And the cost of making up for it is not so easy to bear.
"You, an old man, are not greedy, you know how to measure things."
Lu Li looked up and down at the old storyteller in front of him. Although his eyes were gentle, for some reason, his calm gaze put great pressure on the old man.
¡®It¡¯s very human in front of me. ¡¯
Speaking of veterans, this kind of enlightenment was raised in my heart, so I did not dare to get silver.
"But this money is indeed for you, keep it." Lu Li looked away and said with a slight smile.
His words seemed to have some kind of power.
Although the old storyteller didn¡¯t want to take it, he subconsciously reached out to pick up the silver and put it into his arms.
After collecting the money, the old man suddenly realized what he had just done.
He didn¡¯t cry or fuss, he just smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty is very capable, I am just an ordinary storyteller, why bother putting it in trouble for me."
Lu Li laughed: "Why am I trying to embarrass you? It's just that you're a good storyteller. What I just listened to is not enough. I just want you to speak to me alone."
"Is that true?"
The old storyteller couldn¡¯t believe it.
"Of course."
Lu Li nodded, then looked around, and then said: "It's noisy here, it's too noisy. Do you know which restaurant in the city has good tea? Let's go to the restaurant to drink tea and listen to your story."
"As for a restaurant I think Tang's Restaurant is the best."
When the old man saw what Lu Li said, he believed it.
After all, there is no need for a rich man with extraordinary temperament like him to make fun of him as a storyteller.
"Okay, let's go to Tang's Restaurant, you lead the way."
Following the old storyteller, the two of them walked on the street for a while, and soon came to a three-story restaurant.
He found a side room next to the street and had tea. Lu Li picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea was fragrant and left an endless aftertaste.
"Earlier, I heard someone talk about coprophags, and I was very curious about it. Old man Xu, please tell me about it."
Glancing at the bustling crowd outside the window, he turned back and looked at the slightly reserved storyteller in front of him.
When they arrived, they had already known each other by name. The storyteller's name was Xu Xuan, and he was from Shouyang like Ning Caichen.
But this Xu Xuan has been wandering around Tianshui County all year round, making a living by telling stories everywhere. However, in recent years, Changshu County has become prosperous and more people listen to books, so he settled here.
"Scoop-eater?"
Hearing those three words, Xu Xuan's brows jumped and his face twitched, but he still said: "The so-called coprophagic ghost is an evil thing that suddenly appeared these days. No one knows what it is.
Although Lao Chan is better informed, he still doesn¡¯t know the situation.
We can only sort out some rumors in detail for your consideration. I'll be surprised if there are any errors or omissions. "
Lu Li nodded calmly: "It's okay, I just want to hear some of the story, you can tell me."
"That's what the old man said."
Xu Xuan showed a look of recollection on his face, and then said slowly:
"Five days ago, Sun Junshou, the son of the Sun family, made an appointment with some wealthy young men in the city to go to Fengshan for an autumn outing.
Then he encountered an evil spirit in the mountains, and his fellow travelers died suddenly one after another.
Only Sun Junshou was left behind and fled home in a hurry, but he could not afford to fall ill and even became incontinent.
Forget it.
Sun Junshou even took the feces left by him into his mouth and ate it. After eating, he laughed and said it was delicious and happy.
When others stopped him, he made a fuss and almost wanted to commit suicide, so he could only let it go.
But everything is just the beginning.
The murder of the four people in Fengshan and Sun Junshou's madness seemed to be just the beginning.
The evil spirits followed Sun Junshou and arrived in the city together.
Since five days ago.
city?Some people were killed one after another, with feces in their mouths and smiling faces, causing people to panic.
So the evil spirits are also called coprophagians.
Sun Junshou is a person with dissolute behavior and often does evil things, which attracts resentment from his neighbors.
Therefore, there are rumors in the market that Sun Junshou provoked the coprophagic ghost, which led to many things. I don¡¯t know how many people are resentful towards him.
But because there was no evidence and the rule of law was strict under General Taiping, no one in the county could do anything to him.
Sun Junshou simply eats feces now, which is worse than death, so some people are happy to watch the fun.
"It's just that the evil spirits have not been eliminated, the victims have not stopped, and this disaster is far from over. "
When Xu Xuan said this, he couldn't help but show fear on his face and feel sad in his heart.
He glanced at Lu Li, pinched the broken piece of silver in his arms, gritted his teeth, and reminded: "Sir, when I first came here, I didn't know how ferocious the copro-eater was. It really killed countless people. I'm already preparing to move." Stay away from Changshu and go somewhere else to avoid the limelight. Sir, it¡¯s better to make plans in advance.¡±
He is just an ordinary storyteller. He has no defense against the evil spirits, so he can only move away to avoid them.
"The evil spirits in Maple Mountain"
Lu Li held the tea cup with his left hand and tapped the fingertips of his right hand on the table. He began to analyze what Xu Xuan said in his mind.
no doubt.
Everything here started after Sun Junshou and the others¡¯ trip to Fengshan.
And all the victims died of eating excrement and laughing.
¡®This way of dying is not like simply taking someone¡¯s life to kill someone, but rather killing someone in revenge. In this way, the rumors that Sun Junshou angered evil spirits and caused all these incidents should be true. ¡¯
Lu Li has also seen many demons and monsters.
He is very clear.
Demons harm people only by plundering their essence, blood and soul.
So for them, they can kill people, steal souls or cannibalize people, there is no need to engage in coprophagy and die with a smiley face.
The feces is filthy.
Even a demon would feel disgusted. If it weren¡¯t for the great hatred, who would have nothing to do and do something like this.
¡®Could it be that Sun Junshou pooped and was eaten by this evil spirit? ¡¯
Lu Li had this thought in his mind, but then he shook his head, feeling that it was impossible.
¡°After all, this evil spirit is so vicious.
How could he let a mortal poop in his mouth? Does he like it?
"But if you like it, you won't kill anyone because of it.
"What a weird thing, what a weird thing."
He felt more and more that the incident involving this coprophag was full of strange things that he could not figure out.
Putting the secret aside for the time being, Lu Li looked up at Xu Xuan and asked aloud: "You have said before that Chen Yuanxiang, the general of Jianwu here, once killed the heart-digging demon. He must have the ability to subjugate and eliminate demons." Yes. Since he is responsible for the important military and political affairs of Changshu, can he just let this dung-eater do evil under his jurisdiction?"
This is also a question in his mind.
