"Master! I finally found you."

A heart-wrenching cry resounded through the sky, and those who didn't know thought it would kill someone.

Gu Chuan sat on the stone stairs, dumbfounded as he watched a man running toward him with tears in pain, and then kneeling at his feet, which made him quite embarrassed.

"Brother, have you recognized the wrong person? How do I look like your master? Can't I change it?"

This was also the first time that Gu Chuan encountered a strange grown man calling him master, especially when he was talking enthusiastically.

Everyone made way for the young man and ate the melon with great interest.

Seeing that there was almost no business to be done, Gu Chuan immediately lowered his head and whispered into his ear, "We'll talk about it later. Didn't you see that I'm preaching?"

The man raised his face. Although his face was haggard, he seemed to be in good spirits.

Gu Chuan originally took advantage of those guys to be busy with cases, so he stayed in a corner and resumed his old business. He probably never imagined that he would come to this square again.

Unexpectedly, he was unlucky. When some people saw it, they knew it was a scam and walked away.

He finally managed to attract some people by fooling around for a while, but he suddenly got in the way.

He didn't even recognize him, so he called him master with a broken gong voice. Gu Chuan's face was as black as a piece of charcoal, and he barely managed to kick this guy away.

"Hey, young man, are you telling the truth? I'm afraid the story is too fantasy. Now that there's a scene where master and apprentice recognize each other, it would be more appropriate for you to write a novel." An old man from below joked.

He had long heard that there was often a liar around here, and he came around just to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, he listened to the story for a long time.

The people below also agreed.

Seeing that everyone's interest had subsided, Gu Chuan pulled the man up, asked him to stand aside, and warned him in a low voice, "Listen carefully and don't cause trouble."

This time, the man was honest and just glanced at Gu Chuan out of the corner of his eye out of curiosity.

Gu Chuan looked at the uncle for a while, and then his eyes were full of smiles.

You must know that if he stays in one place for a long time, he will always encounter such troublemakers. There are easy ways to deal with them. Tell them stories and go around with them. If he is interested, he will stay. If he is not interested, he will stay.

will leave.

Until the end, I make up whatever I want, with the purpose of selling books. Some people will leave if they don't want to buy. They just have heard enough and are quite satisfied and won't say anything. Others will be persuaded to stay and buy books.

To achieve this, concentration is very important, and you need to arouse your emotions. Watching a movie is just about getting a sense of immersion, the same principle applies.

In the end, the play was enjoyable, but suddenly something troublesome came up. The excitement of watching the play was gone, so I had to eat something. The more I thought about it, and the less I got out of the play, the whole person would wake up a lot.

Fortunately, he is not here to sell books today. It is not enough to do a show for just one day. The show must be completed and done enough.

"Uncle, according to what you said, it's okay to listen to a story. I'll tell you a story next. Come and listen."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on him. After all, the story he told was really exquisite. After his words, the uncle remained silent and motioned for him to continue. It seemed that he was still interested in the story.

Gu Chuan was quite satisfied, and then slowly narrated: "This story, I call it the death of three people."

In ancient times, there was a poisonous bird, which was as big as an eagle, had a long neck, a red beak, and black fur. It ate snakes and wrapped its belly. It was also said that its feathers were purple-green and could poison people if put into wine.

It flew four miles a day, looking for a perch on a branch. Three ropes were hung on the branches, and three people were hung on the ropes, none of them covered with clothes.

The three of them were sticking out their long tongues, their eyes were wide open, their faces were gray, their lower bodies were dark purple, their legs were covered with bruises, they were two or three feet above the ground, and their bodies were swaying when the wind blew.

The poisonous bird cried loudly and sadly: "Why bother three people to die?"

At this time, a man walked out from under the tree. He was one of the men who hanged himself. He squatted on the ground and cried loudly, saying that he and his family were together. One day, five robbers came to the yard and they broke into the house.

, not only robbed everything, but also took the lives of the whole family.

His wife was kidnapped, his children were killed, and he was left alone. He couldn't think of anything and hung himself here.

The bird felt sympathy for the man's experience, and then plucked out his own feather, "Poor man, take this feather, put the feather into the wine jar while the robbers are asleep, and wait for them to celebrate tomorrow morning

After that, they will both return to the west."

The man took the feather and left crying.

Under the tree, a woman as thin as a bamboo pole came out crying. Like the man before her, she told her story.

I obeyed my parents and married a butcher, but my husband was impatient and beat and scolded me at every turn. I never had a good day. One day, my husband framed me and said that I had lost a lamb and told me to go away in the middle of winter.

If you look for him, if you can't find him, don't come back to see him. If I go back to my parents' home, my family won't care about me.

I couldn't find it, and when I saw a man hanging himself, I felt so sad that he also hanged himself.

When the bird heard this, it waved its wings, and suddenly a strong wind blew up in the sky. Then, it saw countless crows flying in the sky. After a while, a crow held a hand in its mouth and threw it in front of the woman.

"Poor man, your husband has died from his beak, can you feel at ease?"

The woman cried and left here.

The bird continued to wait, and waited, and waited until the last person showed up. It looked up and saw the man on the rope speaking, "The bird, I was a carpenter, and I committed suicide to atone for my sins."

ah."

The carpenter's wife died early, leaving him with only a baby girl. Later he married another wife and gave birth to a baby boy. The family was in short supply of food. My wife instigated me to marry my daughter to a butcher for the sake of a lamb.

.

My daughter came back to me crying and said that she had lost the lamb. How could I not know that the husband wanted to get back the bride price. The wife closed the door tightly and refused to let her in. I could only watch my daughter leave.

One day, I learned the news of my daughter's death. I felt so sad that I found a piece of wood and carved my daughter's likeness. I looked at it day and night. The wood transformed into spirit and took the shape of my daughter. However, my wife discovered it and ordered me to carve her likeness.

Coax this monster away.

So I chose a new husband for my daughter to stay with her.

Until one day, the butcher came and broke into his daughter's home with his accomplices. It turned out that he had become a robber after her daughter died.

He killed their whole family and took my daughter away.

I knew that my sin was serious, so I sacrificed my life to apologize. I just listened to what the two said, and I was really embarrassed to say it out loud.

The bird suddenly realized that her daughter's soul was wandering around after her death, and she was resurrected through wood because of her father's lovesickness. However, God was unfair, and her daughter died in the hands of robbers again.

At this moment, the robbers had eaten and drank enough, and slowly woke up. One of them suddenly realized that it was dark, so he woke up his companions. Several of them shouted that they were blind, their eyes were sticky and in severe pain. When they touched their eye sockets, they found that they had no eyeballs.

Everyone was immediately running around in panic in the room. The wine glass was knocked over and flowed all over the floor, mixed with blood and slowly spread on the ground.

Little did they know that without their eyes, they were stepping on a man who had been dead for a long time and had no arms on the ground over and over again.

His body is full of holes that have been eaten by beaks.

After listening to what the man said, a monk passed by. He clasped his hands and said in a low voice, "The world is full of ups and downs. After you die, follow me into the palace quickly and don't miss it."

The man sighed and walked out from under the tree.

Then it turned into green smoke and went into the ground. The monk shouted, "Nie Zhan, since you have avenged your great revenge, why don't you leave quickly? Don't blame my men for being ruthless."

The bird was frightened, flapped its wings and made a crunching sound. It turned out to be a wooden bird.

It was a toy made by a carpenter for his daughter when she was young.

"This story is interesting. So, is it about the wooden bird trying to avenge his daughter?" Everyone listened with interest and started talking among themselves.

"Master, I'm very curious, who of the three died first?" the boy who pestered Gu Chuan at first asked.

"Yes, why did the woman see the man commit suicide first? Didn't she die for the lamb first? Then she changed from wood to human."

Gu Chuan smiled and explained calmly, "Wood is still wood after all, and there is no memory left after resurrection. After the woman was kidnapped, the dead soul returned to the place where she was hanged and saw a man. Her memory

He was still on the way to find the lamb, so he once again simulated his own death."

In fact, she was already dead, so the woman died first, and the last one to die was, of course, the carpenter. There is no doubt about this.

This is the story recorded in the blue book that Xiao Hei got. Its main theme, Gu Chuan thought, is probably about the retribution of karma and reincarnation.

The selling point is that it can be used as a philosophy book. Don’t many people just accept karma? Who in this world has never done something wrong, right?

"Okay, I have other things to do today, so I'll leave."

"Hey, young man, let me tell you two more." The uncle just now has not left yet. He is probably really attracted by the story. They love story telling.

"Next time, I'll talk about it next time."

Gu Chuan thought that it would be conscientious enough to start a business of his own. He would tell stories for free and not accept rewards, huh? Rewards, this would be a good idea.

He suddenly remembered the two Taoist priests who were here before, and he could also organize a live broadcast dedicated to telling stories.

We just have to deal with the troublesome boy in front of us.

After that, Gu Chuan started to dismiss the crowd, and everyone was quite satisfied. It was quite late, so they were all ready to go home.

"How old are you?"

"Just turned twenty."

Oh, it turns out he is one year younger than me.

"In this case, don't call me master, call me big brother." Gu Chuan hooked his arm on the man's shoulder and said with a smile. When he saw the boy's profile, he felt a sense of familiarity.

"You are the red-haired boy from before!"

Gu Chuan let go of his hand and looked at him in surprise. No wonder he didn't recognize him immediately. At that time, he had dyed his hair a striking color, his face was rosy, and he had a rebellious spirit in his bones. Compared with his black hair now,

Regarding the thin face, at first glance, he did not recognize it.

"Master, ah no, brother, you still remember me." He smiled shyly, and he didn't know what stimulated him. Now he seemed to have a different temperament, no longer arrogant and domineering, and he seemed to be more deceptive than before.
