There is a beautiful legend, exquisite stone, can sing. It can give courage to the weak and it can give harvest to the lost. "As long as you love it in your heart, you will always be able to recognize it, ahh

Here's what you'll hear about a "fable of fish and stone":

Just as the Xiao Lvzi was in a state of shock and fear, which was also the 8th of May, late at night, the furious Ye Jinfeng, Wu Tianba and the other six brothers were already sitting in a mountain inn.

In the living room, there was a hunchbacked short old man who looked like a big "Wu Dai Lang". He was extremely attentive, carrying tea, bringing food, and pouring wine with a smile on his face. Not only that, hunchbacked old man's mouth kept asking questions, turning around the six or so people who were unwilling to leave.

At this time, Ye Jinfeng held onto his wine cup, and smiled as he asked hunchbacked old man: "Old man! We are sorry to see you here alone tonight. Come! "Cheers!"

"Ai!" He couldn't accept it! I can't accept this! " hunchbacked old man waved his hands and said, "I really can't drink alcohol. This person was old and had a lot of problems. It was late at night and he could not fall asleep, so he had no choice but to stay at the inn by himself for a few more hours. Old man, I still really hope that there will be a guest coming to relieve my boredom! I've brought the six of you here to wait. "

"That's right!" We are the same! " Huang Shiying could not help but continue: "We are considered lucky people, to only find a place to set our feet on after walking for more than fifty kilometers."

"Old man!" Zhang Yunhai turned to hunchbacked old man and said: "Looks like we are your first guests tonight."

"Oh!" Not really! "Not really!" The hunchbacked old man shook his hand and said, "There are already three people upstairs who have come to seek shelter. However, the six of you guests can be at ease. I have already prepared a room, and it is all upstairs. "

"Uncle!" Wu Tianba did not ask, "How many shop assistants do you have?"

"Cough!" What shop assistant! " hunchbacked old man seemed to be angry, and said: "They are my three sons! Three lazy fellows, they've already slept like dead pigs! "

"Hahaha!" Young Master Iron Fan did not laugh and said: "Old man! You look to be no more than seventy years old, so called 'seventy years old', but your spirit and spirit are still young. I believe that this old man must be someone blessed. "

"Hahaha!" The hunchbacked old man laughed heartily at Ouyang Qingfeng's words, and said: "If you were to say that I am fortunate, it is because the place we are living in is a treasured land of Feng Shui. Not many people smoke, fresh and quiet, there are mountains, water, green forest grassland, and fresh air, so why not longevity? The so-called 'when the mountain is not high, then there will be an immortal; when the water is not deep, then there will be a dragon. "This is a shitty house, and only I am virtuous." "Oh!"

"Hm!" This kind of land with mountains, rivers, trees, and even trees, is simply like a paradise! " Ouyang Qingfeng continued to speak: "Could it be that this old man wants to imitate the personality of the great poet Tao Yuanming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?

When everyone heard this, none of them laughed out loud. After the laughter ended, the hunchbacked old man said to the Young Master Ouyang: "This young master! You're embarrassing me by saying that. How could an old man like me dare to be compared with that poet Tao Yanming? In front of all the guests, this old man is simply too ashamed to face himself.

Everyone heard his words, although he was demeaning himself, from his words, Ye Jinfeng and the rest of the brothers felt that the old man was not someone ordinary, he must be an experienced and knowledgeable Elementary Scholar.

Just then, Ye Jinfeng stood up on behalf of the rest of the brothers and cupped his hands and bowed towards the hunchbacked old man: "Old man, we failed to respect you earlier. It seems that old man knows this old mister Tao very well! "

"Where!?" Where! Please have a seat, sir! Esteemed guest, please take a seat! "

When Ye Jinfeng returned to his seat, hunchbacked old man stroked his beard and laughed: "Actually I really admire Old Master Tao's character, and yearn for him even more. So, in my spare time, I studied him! "

"Wah!" Is that true? " Ouyang Qingfeng couldn't help but be interested.

"Fake!"

"Since this is the case, please tell us the results of your research so that we can understand the story behind this Old Master Tao."

"Alright!" hunchbacked old man promised with his mouth wide open, "If you want to talk about this Old Master Tao, I can't finish explaining it to you in ten days or eight days. But now I can say a few words for you to hear. Naturally, there was no need to mention Mister Tao's respected surname. His name was Hidden, and his character was bright. In his early years, he had served in the Jiang Prefecture as a wine sacrifice, town enlisted in the army, and Pengze County Magistrate. But, seeing the despicable acts of deceit and power struggle within the bureaucracy, he had always been unwilling to join them, so that his ambition had never been achieved. Thus, at the age of forty-one, he abandoned his official status and lived a simple and quiet life in the countryside. It was only when he was sixty-three that he finally finished his noble and pure life. Sigh! No wonder they call him Mr. Jing Yan, this name is definitely worthy of his name! "

The hunchbacked old man's narration actually attracted the attention of Ye Jinfeng and the other six brothers, causing them to listen attentively. They simply forgot about everything, forgot about the fine wine and dishes in front of them, and constantly shot envious gazes towards hunchbacked old man. They all thought that tonight, they had met an old scholar from the forest.

At this time, Wu Tianba saw that hunchbacked old man had finished his explanation, and couldn't help but stand up and greet him, "I really didn't think that old sir would know this ancient person so well. "I'm impressed!"

Just as Wu Tianba said this, Sun Kexing also stood up and said to the hunchbacked old man: "I see that old mister is also a person that follows the dao, but is concealed when there is no dao. But may I know this esteemed old mister's name? "

"Sigh!" What are you saying! "What are you saying!" hunchbacked old man waved his hands and laughed: "You are a nameless man! Nameless man! Not worth mentioning! "Just call me Hunchback Li!" Please take a seat. There's no need to stand on ceremony, we can talk while we eat. "

While he was speaking, Ouyang Qingfeng had already poured a large cup of wine and brought it to hunchbacked old man, saying: "Old mister Li is indeed worthy of respect! I, Ouyang Qingfeng, am here to toast you. "

"Aiya! No! "No way!" hunchbacked old man once again frantically refused: "This old man has already been sober for many years. To tell you the truth, guests, I have an old habit of having my back sore and my mouth full of nonsense whenever I drink alcohol, and I don't want to suffer any more from that foreign sin. "

After Ouyang Qingfeng heard this, he no longer forced it and said to the hunchbacked old man: "Alright! Since it's like that, I, Ouyang Qingfeng, will not force others. I shall drink this wine on behalf of the old mister. "

With that, "Young Master Iron Fan" raised his wine cup and finished it in one gulp.

Seeing this, the other brothers didn't follow suit and drank to their heart's content.

Just then, hunchbacked old man, seeing that Ouyang Qingfeng and the rest had put down their wine cups, he jokingly said: "Esteemed guests, I have a suggestion. I wonder if any of you would like to hear it?"

After Ye Jinfeng heard this, he said, "Old sir, you are the host and we are the guests. We will follow your orders!"

Therefore, the hunchbacked old man stroked his white goatee and said happily: "Everyone drink as much as you want, I will sing a poem by Mr. Tao Yuanming," Drinking Drink "for everyone to enjoy, what do you think?"

Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but clap in agreement. Ye Jinfeng said politely: "Since Old Master Li has the mood to do so, of course we are willing to listen. "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Ai!" How could he be tired? It's just exercising the spirit and the voice. " As he said that, hunchbacked old man took out a small leather drum from his waist. Hey! How fresh, this old man actually had this thing with him, as if it was specially prepared for guests! How strange! Then, as the sound of the drum faded, he pulled away a voice that sounded like a duck but was neither old nor old: "In the human realm, there is no such thing as a carriage. Asking the monarch ? He ? Nerr, Far away ? was self-biased. Feverfew - East hedge - down, yang-yang-yang - see Nanshan. There is truth in this ? meaning ? that has been forgotten ?

"Good!" Good singing! "Well sung!" The entire audience cheered in unison.

"Aiya! I say, everyone, this' Drinking 'poem of mine has been sung to the end, but I can't find you guys drinking! "

When everyone heard the Old Man Li's complaints, they did not even look at each other and laughed before they downed the wine cup in one gulp.

At this time, the hunchbacked Old Man Li hurried forward to pour wine for the six of them and asked: "When you came here, I heard from you guys that you guys are still going to that far north Taibai Mountain?"

"That's right!" Tomorrow morning, we will set off for Taibai. " Ye Jinfeng answered resolutely.

However, hunchbacked old man's words carried a meaning as he continued, "Taibai Mountain Qin Mountains is full of mystery and danger. Old man, I can even tell you a fascinating legend about the Taibai Mountain! "

"Ha!" This is great! " Zhang Yunhai suddenly put down his wine cup and asked: "What legend is it? Old Mr. Li, please tell us about it. "

"Ai!" "Young man, don't be in such a hurry!" The hunchbacked old man poured another large cup for Zhang Yunhai and said, "What I want to tell you is the next beautiful legend of the Taibai Mountain. It can give wisdom to the brave, but it can also give joy to the frustrated. As long as you can understand it, how expensive it is! Even if the mountain was high and the road was far away, they could still obtain it. You can drink and listen. "

"Good!" We'll drink and let old Mr. Li talk. " After Zhang Yunhai finished speaking, he took the lead and drank a cup of wine. When everyone saw this, they also stopped eating.

Seeing this situation, the hunchbacked old man began to talk in a lively tone: "Legend has it that a long, long time ago, under the feet of the Taibai Mountain of the Qin Mountains, there was a very mysterious stone cave. This cave was truly extraordinary. It was as if the Mountain God Snake Demon was lurking underneath this cave and would often show itself. Even mountain people didn't dare to approach him as they were afraid of offending the Mountain God Snake spirit. Once, however, a poor boy came back from collecting firewood and walked to the foot of the mountain. The young man was very puzzled, thinking to himself, how can smoke come out of a rock den? Inconceivable? How could there be such a bizarre thing in this world? So, the young man went forward to take a look at the bluestone nest, but didn't see anything, it was just some smooth shiny rock, where is the smoking pore? Curiosity rose in the young man's heart, and he picked up a huge rock from the pile of rocks and threw it at the nest of stones. What do you say? He heard a loud bang, and in the next moment, smoke filled the air, as if he was in the immortal fog. In a moment, a lady who looks like a flower and is like jade is gradually revealed within this smoke and fog! "

At this point, the hunchbacked old man could not stop and took a sip of his tea.

Furthermore, when Ye Jinfeng and the other brothers heard the hunchbacked old man's speech, they couldn't help but feel their hearts itch. They felt that the story was interesting and wanted to hear the rest of it. Zhang Yunhai could not hold it in anymore and asked: "What happened after that? "Old mister, please don't go on with the lawsuit, just let us brothers listen to it as fast as we can."

"Good!" "Listen to me!" hunchbacked old man cleared his throat and continued with his narration, "That poor brat saw a beautiful lady appear out of the dense fog, but he was not the least bit afraid. Instead, I brought her home to be my wife. "

"Hahaha!" How could there be such a good thing! " Zhang Yunhai did not interrupt.

"Ai!" Don't be impatient! And then there's the rest! " hunchbacked old man indicated for Zhang Yunhai not to interrupt and continued, "Like this, husband and wife will live together lovingly for two years. The affection between them had long since become deep and profound. Even Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild would find it difficult to sever the affection between them. It was not until the autumn of the third year that they finally gave birth to a chubby boy, known as Shanwa. Heh! This Mountain Doll, it was a sight to behold. For the husband and wife to have such a son, they were filled with untold joy all day long. However, not long after, dusk, a strong gust of wind blew into the courtyard, causing the mother and son pair to be swept into the limestone cave at the foot of the Taibai Mountain. The young man chased after him! However, when he chased them to that blue stone cave, he could no longer find any trace of the mother and son. Therefore, the young man was in extreme pain as he cried while hugging the Green Stone Nest. However, no matter how he scratched, blood came out from his hands. It was useless. He lay there crying for seven days and seven nights, until he finally died in that stone cave. "After his death, his bones turned into a pile of rubble, and his stone cave was soaked in his tears. The Han Li's water turned into a pool of 'Blood and Tears'."

The hunchbacked old man stopped and took a sip of tea.

"Uncle Li!" So this is the end of the legend? " Fifth Brother Sun Kexing, who had long been engrossed in listening to their conversation, could not help but ask.

When hunchbacked old man saw this, he put down the teacup and laughed: "Young man, don't be hasty! The later legends are even more bizarre. "

"It's even weirder now?!"

"Yes!" The hunchbacked old man continued to ask: "What do you think is that woman that popped out of that limestone cave?"

"What is it?" Ouyang Qingfeng immediately asked.

"It's a white snake spirit from the mountains!" Ever since she and her mother had been swept into the cave by the violent wind, they had never come out again. After an unknown amount of time had passed, that stone cave, which was also known as the 'Blood Tear Pool', had long since moved to an extremely mysterious place. Many people went to the Taibai Mountain to search for the remnants of the 'Blood Tear Pool', but they couldn't find the real place! "

Speaking till here, Ye Jinfeng could not help but ask: "Could it be that Uncle Li knows the whereabouts of this' Blood Tear Pond '?"

Oh! No! No! "No!" hunchbacked old man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't know its true location either. This is only a legend. Guests, you don't have to worry about the ancients! However, with this legend, the Taibai Mountain would be even more mysterious. Wasn't there a saying, 'If the mountain is not high, then there is a name for it; if the water is not deep, then there is a dragon, then there is a spirit'? Therefore, because of this mystical legend in the Taibai Mountain, many tourists would visit this place in the fall of every year. "It is said that now, if someone threw a silver ingot into a pond in the Taibai Mountain, they would hear a man crying miserably.

"There's actually such a thing?" Wu Tianba was half believing and half doubting as he watched hunchbacked old man put down the wine chopsticks.

"Then how can it be fake?" hunchbacked old man, however, said with absolute confidence: "Moreover, that pool is the legendary 'Blood Tear Pool'!"

"Alright!" Fourth Elder Zhang Yunhai suddenly took out a silver ingot from his waist and placed it on the table, saying, "Tomorrow, we will use this ingot and try, see if we can still hear your cries!"

At this time, the hunchbacked old man smiled as he looked at the silver ingot on the table, and said: "Guests, please enjoy your meal at the bar! Go back and have a good night's sleep and a good dream.

Just as hunchbacked old man finished speaking, all of a sudden, Wu Tianba, Ouyang Qingfeng, Sun Kexing and the others all laid down on the table.

Immediately, Zhang Yunhai and Ye Jinfeng yelled, "Not good! There's Mongolian medicine! "

However, just as they finished shouting, they suddenly felt dizzy and unable to open their eyes. In a daze, they saw three burly men running down the stairs with steel knives in their hands.

Just then, the hunchbacked old man straightened his back, and laughed out loud at Ye Jinfeng and Zhang Yunhai: "How is it? You two! This legend of mine is pretty good, right? "

Suddenly, Ye Jinfeng and Zhang Yunhai knew that they had been tricked. This old man was actually a fake hunchback who robbed houses, but it was already too late. The two of them felt a buzzing sound in their head. Then, both of them fell onto the table, unconscious.
