Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 287
Fang Jianming came to the front and climbed up the stairs. On the walls and wooden pillars of the building, there were many famous people's calligraphy and paintings. Before he knew it, Fang Jianming had reached the highest floor.

When I went upstairs, I only heard someone shouting: "...that's why this Yellow Crane Tower has this name!"

On this floor, there are many tables and chairs. At this time, there are already passengers on the seventh floor. Fang Jianming found a seat at random, and the waiter who peddled tea bought him one. He just sat down, Zhou Feng He also came up, smiled slightly, shook a fan he bought from nowhere, shook it in his hand, and walked over gracefully, everyone's eyes lit up, they only felt that Song Yu and Pan An were still alive. !
Zhou Feng approached Fang Jianming, sat down beside him, and suddenly smiled and said, "Why? Why don't you buy me a drink?" Fang Jianming was secretly surprised. Unexpectedly, Zhou Feng would talk to him first, so he called her One serving, Zhou Feng drank tea, looked around with great interest, ignored Fang Jianming, and in a blink of an eye, regarded him as a stranger, Fang Jianming was dumbfounded by his behavior.

At this time, only hearing the sound of the stairs, two people came up. As soon as the two people came up, they immediately attracted the attention of many people. Fang Jianming turned his head to look, and saw a man and a woman. The man was dressed in white and his hair was neatly combed , with a white silk ribbon tied in her hair. He looks extremely handsome and imposing. He is a handsome young man. Fang Jianming was slightly taken aback when he saw this man.

He recognized this person, this person was the "Master White Horse" who was one of the top ten martial arts masters he met when he first came out of the mountain.The woman's curved eyebrows, bright big eyes, and her facial features are well matched. Although she doesn't have the peerless elegance of Long Biyun, the difference is not too great. She is wearing a red cloak and a tight-fitting red dress. , tall and slender, with a sword on his shoulders, heroic, standing together, they are really a pair of strangers!
The two came upstairs, chose a seat, ordered two servings of tea, and drank slowly, apparently waiting for someone.Fang Jianming looked at both of them, Zhou Feng saw them, smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Su Xinglang, the white horse boy, Shen Hongying, the red peony on Qunfangpu!"

Fang Jianming didn't ask her, but she told Fang Jianming.

Fang Jianming said with a smile: "Your news is well-informed. I always thought that you have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time!"

Zhou Feng snorted softly, but did not speak.

Su Xinglang, the white horse boy, suddenly called out loudly: "That little brother, didn't you just talk about the origin of the Yellow Crane Tower? Those of us who came late didn't know about it. Please tell me more!"

The little brother he was talking about was a storyteller upstairs. That guy’s job was to tell stories about the Yellow Crane Tower upstairs. There are many tourists who come to the Yellow Crane Tower every day, no matter what he says , right, most people want to hear it, drink tea by the way, the guy tells stories, attracts customers, and gets a silver fee from the tea fee, sometimes people give him money when they hear what he says is interesting, too much If there is less, it will be shared with the tea seller. If there is less, it will be his own.

He was about to start telling a story, but he was tired from talking just now, so he took a break, drank tea, and when he heard Su Xinglang's words, he became even more excited, stood up, and said with a smile, "Let's just say..."

After a pause, he said loudly: "Speaking of the Huguang area, there is no one who does not know our Yellow Crane Tower. Many people don't know the origin. Hehe, my younger brother's family has lived at the foot of the Snake Mountain for more than ten generations. I have heard the ancestors say that the origin of the Yellow Crane Tower has a lot of mythology. Whether it’s true or not, the younger ones are half-believing, but whether you believe it or not, it’s all up to you gentlemen..."

Fang Jianming laughed secretly when he heard this, and thought: "This guy has been talking for a long time, but he hasn't mentioned the origin of the Yellow Crane Tower. Everyone is slow, so listen to him patiently!"

I just heard the guy say, "... It is said that before the Yellow Crane Tower was built, a man surnamed Xin opened a restaurant here. I don't know why. Xin's business is not good, and the customers don't think the wine is not well brewed. , because the environment is too bad, and the guests rarely visit. After listening to the opinions of the guests, Xin made better wine and renovated the hotel, but there were still not many guests. One day, an old man came to the hotel. He drank a thousand cups from morning to night, and after drinking the thousandth cup, he suddenly asked him that he had no money for the wine, and could he get credit. Xin is a kind person, and he had already meant to stop running the shop. Immediately agreed to the old Taoist. The old Taoist thanked him. Before leaving, he drew a crane on the wall and told him that the crane could come down and dance for fun. Xin only said that the old Taoist was drunk and talked nonsense, so he didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, the next day, the crane on the wall really came down and danced in the restaurant. The guests were amazed. Watching this crane dance, since then, Xin's hotel has become famous far and wide. The hotel's door has been smashed by guests several times. The business is so good that it can be called the number one in Wuchang Prefecture.

More than ten years later, the old Taoist came again. When Xin saw him, he wanted to kneel down to thank him. The old Taoist laughed, and the Buddha dust in his hand flew up. Xin couldn't kneel even if he wanted to. A flute, playing it leisurely, it really is "this song should only exist in the sky, but it should be heard several times in the world", in the sound of the flute, the old man stepped on the back of the crane and went straight to the sky, never to be seen again, people from far and near saw each other, They all knelt down and worshiped him, saying that this man was a god in the sky.Later, in order to thank the god who helped him make a fortune, the Xin family built a building here and named it "Yellow Crane Tower". Everyone, this is a big history of the Yellow Crane Tower! "

After Fang Jianming heard it, he found it interesting, and he felt refreshed. He followed the crowd and applauded. Su Xinglang and Shen Hongying looked at each other and smiled. Let's go!" After speaking, with a shake of his hand, a piece of silver flew out of his hand, and landed on the table next to the clerk.

The buddy was overjoyed when he saw the silver, this young master is really generous, and he is very grateful.

Suddenly, someone gave a faint smile and said, "Man, this is just a legend, not to be believed. As far as Xiaosheng knows, this Yellow Crane Tower was first built in the second year of Wu Huangwu during the Three Kingdoms period. In order to achieve the goal of "governing the country with martial arts and prospering", Sun Quan deliberately built a city for defense, and built a building to look out, and Wuchang was named after this. As for the origin of the name of the Yellow Crane Tower, there is no test. The known legends are related to the Eight Immortals and Lu Ban!" This person is Zhou Feng.Fang Jianming could not help secretly admiring him when he heard that he spoke clearly and logically.

The guy said with a smile: "Young master is really rich in knowledge. How can the young one compare with the young master? Speaking of the legend of the Eight Immortals and Lu Ban, the young one is familiar with it. It is said that the immortal Lu Dongbin passed through Wuchang City and was fascinated by the scenery here. He wanted to build a building here." For a building, other Taoist friends were invited, but no one was able to build it. Later, Master Lu Pan came, and Lu Dongbin told him about the building. I saw a tall building standing on the top of the hill, Lu Dongbin was overjoyed, climbed up the stairs, and shouted for Master Lu Pan, but Master Lu Pan disappeared, leaving only a wooden crane here, Lu Dongbin couldn't help being happy, and took out a hole flute , Facing the turbulent river, he blew a tune, and as he blew, the wooden crane danced with the sound of the flute. Lu Dongbin rode on the wooden crane, and the wooden crane flew out of the building immediately, and circled around the building. The tall building flew around three times, and with a cry of a crane, it disappeared into the white clouds. Later, people called this building the Yellow Crane Tower.

Zhou Feng smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad, let's see the reward!" After finishing speaking, he threw it away, and a piece of silver flew out and landed on the table.

Su Xinglang and Shen Hongying were shocked when they saw her technique, they glanced at him and Fang Jianming a few more times.

Fang Jianming said in a low voice: "Young Master Zhou, you really know a lot!"

Zhou Feng ignored him, Fang Jianming made fun of him, laughed dryly, and used tea as a cover.

After drinking tea for a while, Fang Jianming was about to get up and leave when a person came up from the stairs suddenly. Seeing this person, many people felt their eyes light up and their souls flew to the sky. They were dumbfounded, and Fang Jianming couldn't help but sigh. Dazed, he praised in his heart: "What a beautiful woman!"

I saw that this person was an extremely beautiful girl, holding a sword in her hand, and wearing a red dress. Her red dress was not as bright red as Shen Hongying's, but a kind of light red, with a kind of coolness , soft eyebrows, cold eyes, her delicate body looks "thin", but you can't tell where she is thin, her beauty seems to be here. In terms of "thinness", who said thinness is not a kind of beauty?
Seeing her, Zhou Feng was slightly surprised, pondered for a moment, and thought to himself: "So it's her, no wonder she's so beautiful!"

As soon as this beautiful girl arrived, she swept her phoenix eyes and saw Su Xinglang and Shen Hongying. She blinked and walked over. She didn't want to look at the eyes of others, and she didn't care about other people's eyes. .

When he got closer, he greeted Shen Hongying first, and then said hello to Su Xinglang.People who learn martial arts have extremely sensitive eyes and ears. Although they are far away, Fang Jianming heard the beautiful girl call Shen Hongying Senior Sister and Su Xinglang Brother Su, and then the three began to talk in low voices. Fang Jianming could no longer hear him. If you listen to it with luck, you can hear it, but this is not what a hero did, he didn't do it.

Fang Jianming got up, intending to leave this place, only to hear "whoosh..." from downstairs, the sound of clothes ripping through the air, and there was someone performing light kung fu in the building, Fang Jianming was surprised, and saw seven figures one after another coming from downstairs. One jumped up, judging by their stature, none of them were weak, and three of them were still top-notch players.

Of the seven people who came, except for one young man in a well-dressed suit, all of them were dressed in Taoist robes, and each of them held a long sword in their hands. Only the young man yelled: "Young people, come down for us, Move your hands later, swords have no eyes, be careful with your heads!"
