Chapter 72 The story of the frog at the bottom of the well

"Zhao Langjiang?"

"Yes, it's this kid. He is a knife practitioner, and one thing is that he looks very similar to me."

Xiao Jinyan said in his heart that Li Qiuyi had just met Zhao Langjiang for so high acclaim, and couldn't help but be curious, "Which point is similar?"

Li Qiuyi said lightly, "Not long ago, he came to the Li family restaurant and asked me a question."

“What’s the problem.”

"How can I defeat me?" Li Qiuyi laughed, "I have been in the industry for more than 30 years and have entered the Datong Xiang Realm with the sword path. It has been more than 20 years since I started working hard. Others either ask me about the sword path or want to be my teacher, and no one has ever asked me this question in person. This kid dares to think and do it, good!"

Xiao Jinyan said in his heart that among the people he knew, only Zhao Langjiang could do such a thing. Zhao Langjiang was not afraid of the sky or the earth. For the sake of dozens of taels of silver, even the prince of Chu dared to arrest him. What else in the world he dared not do?

He asked again, "Senior Li, I still have a question that I have never figured out. The three realms of martial arts in the world, whether it is you, Yuwen Tianlu, and Chu Kuangdao, they all stopped at the three realms. Looking at the world for a hundred years, only Zhang Benchu ​​jumped out of the three realms back then?"

Li Qiuyi's eyes were a little complicated, "This reason is a bit complicated. The fortune of heaven and earth has a fixed number, which must be one rises and another. When martial arts practices to the point of being open, it has already occupied the fortune of many people. The higher the fortune, the higher the fortune is, but the fact is that over the past three hundred years, the fortune of the rivers and lakes has indeed been much worse than before. It is impossible to restore the prosperity of the rivers and lakes when the 72 princes and the three foreign masters emerged."

Li Qiuyi looked up at the south, "Of course, it has nothing to do with that mountain."

Xiao Jinyan said: "Is it possible that in this world, just like the rumors in the world, outside the three realms, there is a thunder pool?"

Li Qiuyi signaled Xiao Jinyan to go to the yard.

The yard of the Li family’s wine shop is not big. Li Qiu lives in the north house, and the shop is in the south alley on the street, with high courtyard walls on both sides. He pointed to the surrounding walls and said slowly, “Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a group of frogs who sat in the well all day long, ate flying insects in the well when they were hungry, and drank well water when they were thirsty. The fun every day was to look up at the sky in the well. In their cognition, the sky was as big as the mouth of the well, and there was no idea that there was an outside world. Until a passing bird told them that the sky was very vast and the world outside the well was very wonderful.”

Xiao Jinyan said, "Isn't this a story about watching the sky from a well? I learned it when I was in the enlightenment."

Li Qiuyi said coldly.

Xiao Jinyan knew that he was angry and had to cooperate and asked, "What's next?"

Li Qiuyi still said nothing.

Xiao Jinyan had to apologize, "I'm sorry, Senior Li, you are a martial arts master. Telling such a story must have a lot of meaning. Otherwise, I'll ask Ergou to pay the money I owed before?"

Li Qiuyi then disappeared and then said, "After the frogs found out, they began to work hard to jump out of this well and see the outside world. However, they were just frogs, and with their ability, they could not jump out of this well at all. As a result, at this time, a branch suddenly fell from the well mouth."

Xiao Jinyan said, "Among these frogs, who are very strong, jumped onto the branches and then jumped out of the well along the branches?"

Li Qiuyi smiled, "I'll tell you another story."

Xiao Jinyan said, "That story of frog enters the palace like this?"

Li Qiuyi ignored him and said, "There was a village in the past. People in the village had never seen a frog. Suddenly, a frog passed by the village, and everyone was shocked. This strange creature made them feel scared. Every time they saw him, they would avoid it.

At this time, a homeless man was so hungry that he killed the frog, skewed it on the branches, and grilled it. After eating, he realized that the frog was so delicious. So the homeless man opened a barbecue restaurant and caught frogs everywhere. He found a well and heard the sound of frogs croaking inside. It was obviously unrealistic to ask him to go down the well to catch frogs. So he thought of a way and put a branch into the well, and frog nets were covered with frog hunting nets.

The frogs that jumped out had fallen into the net before they could appreciate the sky, and they didn't even have the chance to warn their companions."

Xiao Jinyan felt chill all over when he heard this.

Frogs are traps everywhere.

These frogs thought they would jump out of the well and come to a larger world, but found that this world was so big that they could not control it at all, and that before they could even start to know this world, they had become a delicacy for others.

Although Li Qiuyi did not say it clearly, the meaning expressed by these two stories is already very clear.

In the world outside the wellhead, there are also frog hunters.

In the world outside the three realms, there are also practitioners, Shujian Mountain and the sword guardians on Shujian Mountain.

Five hundred years ago, a frog escaped from the hunting net, jumped back into the well, and destroyed the branch. It told the frogs about the outside, but the frogs did not believe this story. Over the years, they have been searching for the traces left by the frog, trying to find the branch, and fighting to the point of blood.

Li Qiuyi said, "We have not been able to jump out of the three realms, but we do not have the courage to jump out of the three realms. No one knows whether it is the song of birds and flowers, the fairyland on earth, the dense thorns, and the hell of forests. Lu Xuanji has been destroyed by the martial arts scriptures and does not want us to jump out of the well. However, all the rumors we hear come from Lu Xuanji. Whether Lu Xuanji's words are true or false, no one can verify."

"Didn't Zhang Benchu ​​go?"

Li Qiuyi said, "I'm going, but no one knows whether I have the way to immortality or the soul-dissolving path." After that, Li Qiuyi said with a little regret, "The higher the martial arts realm, the longer the lifespan, the smaller the courage. On several occasions, I could hardly resist stepping through the void, but I could not defeat the inner demons and stopped moving forward."

"So, after fighting with Chu Kuangdao, no matter what the outcome is, I made up my mind to go outside to find out."

Xiao Jinyan was a little puzzled, "Wang Banxian is here to find you because of this?"

Li Qiuyi nodded, "After all, he had been to Shujian Mountain back then and was one of the three people who could come back alive. His words were very credible. Over the years, he has been constantly changing his identities and lobbying everyone. Don't try it easily before finding a way."

"But you still didn't listen."

Li Qiuyi sneered, "It's just that his idea is too ideal. He wants to pull the hunter outside the well into the well, but he doesn't know that even if he falls into the well, the hunter is still a hunter, a frog or a frog. Moreover, those hunters prefer frogs in Tongxiangjing because they taste better. Of course, they also like a kind of frog that hides in mud holes and refuses to show up. If they eat, they may be able to prolong their life."

"Are you talking about the people on the Tianlist?"

Li Qiuyi said, "Two Pavilions, three sects, and four sects."

"I always thought that these transcendent sects have not been passed down through the world for hundreds of years, and no one has seen them before. Maybe they have all perished."

Li Qiuyi smiled, "Maybe it's right beside you and me, but we just don't know."

Xiao Jinyan asked tentatively, "Is there nothing else for the frogs?"

"Maybe there, but it hasn't been found yet."

...

Xiao Jinyan felt a little uneasy after coming out of the Li family’s tavern. In the past, he had only heard a few words from Li Chuntie and Wang Banxian, knowing that there were bigger and more dangerous existences outside the three realms, but no one had ever said so frankly to Li Qiuyi, which made him have a subversive understanding of this world and this world.

When he returned to the inn, Baolu was still having a feast. Seeing Xiao Jinyan being depressed, he asked Xiao Jinyan what was going on. Xiao Jinyan told him, and Baolu smiled and said, "What are the big things I think about? No matter what they do? There is a tall one that holds it down. Some of us eat, some sleep, and there are happier things than this?"

Xiao Jinyan was right to think about it. He just knew the mystery. Isn’t it too much to worry about such things? Isn’t it just that people are bothering themselves?

Thinking of this, I felt much more relieved.

Li Qingcheng asked, "How did you talk to Senior Li?"

Xiao Jinyan told him the story.

Li Qingcheng smiled and said, "So, even if you want to be a frog, you have to be a frog that can only kill people."

The two were chatting when they saw Su Zhengyuan rushing in.

In the past two days, Su Zhengyuan was probably one of the busiest people in Suzhou City. The battle between Li Chu attracted a large number of people from the martial arts world to pour into Suzhou. The security situation in the city was extremely bad. The encounter between swords and weapons happened several times a day, which made him in a panic.

When Su Zhengyuan saw Xiao Jinyan, he said in surprise, "Are you back?"

"Is Lord Su good?"

Su Zhengyuan said, "Two, I want to ask you for help."

Xiao Jinyan said in surprise, "Mr. Su, we don't seem to be very familiar with each other, and you were going to cause trouble for us before."

Su Zhengyuan was embarrassed and blushed, "Thanks to your news not long ago, I made great contributions in the fake prefect's affairs. Governor Zhao wanted to recommend me as the Suzhou General Administration. I believe that the document to perform his duties will be downloaded in not long."

Li Qingcheng smiled and said, "Mr. Suzhou Tongzhe is a fifth-rank official. In this way, Lord Su is going to be promoted to three levels in a row."

Xiao Jinyan also teased, "I'm afraid I'll be in vain if I get a bamboo basket."

Su Zhengyuan said shamelessly, "You don't know that I have spent 300,000 taels of silver to be this official, both inside and outside."

Li Qingcheng said coldly, "If you want to be an official, you must be a good official. If I know, you are a fish countryside, don't blame the sword in my hand for being ruthless."

Su Zhengyuan was stunned and said a little dissatisfied, "As an official for thousands of miles, he is not plundering money, what's the point of being an official?"

"Then why do you plunder more money?"

Su Zhengyuan said: "In order to be a bigger official!"

Li Qingcheng's sword was unsheathed, revealing a cold light.

Su Zhengyuan said repeatedly, "But don't worry, you two, you two, that even if you become officials, I will never attack the people."

"I'm not honest."

Su Zhengyuan said again, "Even if I start the surgery, I will be more gentle and pay attention to my eating habits. At least, I will not be a cruel official like Zhou Xiao."

Xiao Jinyan knew that his dog could not spit out ivory, so he asked, "You will not tell us all this nonsense, right?"

Su Zhengyuan said, "Brother Xiao..."

"Who is your brother?"

"Xiao Daxiao, Mr. Xiao, I have encountered some trouble in the past two days. Whether you can become this official depends on whether you two are willing to help me. I am in Suzhou City, and I really can't think of any way."

Xiao Jinyan said impatiently, "Tell me the point. We don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

Su Zhengyuan picked up the teapot and drank it directly into his mouth. He said, "In recent days, two family tragedies have occurred in Suzhou City. Lord Zhao restricted me to solve the case within ten days. Now five or six days have passed, and there is no clue at all. I want to ask the two heroes to help."
