Chapter 249 Commentary "The Story of Jiang Renhuang"

Jiang Li was driven out of the palace by Ji Zhi and wandered around the imperial city alone.

A large sign in front of the teahouse caught his interest.

Today’s review is “The Biography of Jiang Renhuang”.

There is a line of words the size of millet grains below the sign: This story is purely fictional, please do not correspond to real people.

After all, this is the imperial city of the Great Zhou, at the feet of the emperor, and the first thing to do is to avoid responsibility.

Jiang Li paid the entrance fee and heard applause from the audience as soon as he entered the teahouse.

"Although Jiang Li has not yet become a human emperor, he already has some domineering and decisiveness of a human emperor. When he saw the villain attacking, he also became ruthless and raised his long sword. The two sides fought, each move was fatal, and after a hundred moves, it was a matter of life and death. With a "puff", the long sword pierced the opponent's heart. Jiang Li twisted his wrist, and the villain's heart was crushed into pieces."

"Thus, the evil thief ended his sinful life!"

"good!"

The audience was so excited that their blood boiled and they cheered and applauded. Some people were so excited that they threw spirit stones onto the stage.

There were too many people listening to the storytelling and there were no vacant tables, so Jiang Li had to share a table with others.

"Fellow Daoist, is anyone here?" Jiang Li found a table where three people were sitting.

"No, just sit anywhere." The three said casually.

After finishing one story, the storyteller drank some tea to moisten his throat, and then started the next one. The guests were in high spirits, discussing the previous plot one after another, and the three people in front of Jiang Li were no exception.

"There are seventy or eighty versions of the popular "Legend of Jiang Renhuang" on the market. In my opinion, this version is the most exciting to listen to. It's about killing and becoming an emperor through bloody battles. This is what a strong man should be like!"

"That's wrong. This version ranks second in my mind. What kind of person is Emperor Jiang? He has countless merits and is generous and kind. How could such a person grow up by killing? The best version is the one that grows up by fighting with wits."

The two started arguing over which version of "The Legend of Jiang Renhuang" was the best, and the third person hurried to smooth things over and change the subject.

"There is no such thing as superiority or inferiority in literature. What is there to argue about? Although we cannot meet Emperor Jiang Ren, we can get closer to him through stories, just as if Emperor Jiang Ren was sitting next to us. Brother Dao, don't you agree?"

The third person asked Jiang Li, and Jiang Li was stunned.

"It's not like Jiang Renhuang is sitting next to you, he is really sitting next to you."

Jiang Li's words amused the three of them.

"Brother Dao is so immersed in storytelling that he cannot extricate himself. This is a true fan of storytelling. I admire you."

“Ahem.”

The storyteller had a good rest, coughed, and banged the gavel, ending the previous story and starting the next one.

"Let's talk about how the Emperor Jiang saved countless young women from the hands of evil thieves. The young women were naked and cried out to him, "He is a rare gentleman. He never takes advantage of others. He sent all these poor women back home and set off on his journey."

Someone next to Jiang Li suddenly wondered, "No, this is different from the story I heard. Didn't it say that Emperor Jiang Ren half-heartedly slept with these women, and the description was very detailed?"

“???” Jiang Li was puzzled. This is the Great Zhou. If you say that, I will sue you for defamation.

The companion patted the man on the head and said, "You are talking about "The Romantic History of Emperor Jiang Renhuang". You have confused the content of the book with the commentary!"

"Oh, yes, yes, I got it mixed up."

"???" Jiang Li was even more confused. Could it be any more outrageous? The storyteller told the second story.

"At that time, Emperor Jiang Ren was still at the Jindan stage. He happened to pass by a small town and heard that there was an evil spirit haunting the town. Several people had been killed by the evil spirit. The people in the town were complaining bitterly. The upright Emperor Jiang Ren stayed there to get rid of the evil spirit."

"Emperor Jiang Ren heard that the evil ghost was elusive and could kill people without shedding blood. Anyone who saw the evil ghost would be frightened to death. Several cultivators came here but were helpless."

"On the night that Emperor Jiang stayed, another old man was killed by a fierce ghost. His face was hideous before he died, as if he had seen something extremely horrific."

"People in the town say that the evil spirit is afraid of masculine men and black dog blood. As long as you have these two items, you can kill the evil spirit."

"Emperor Jiang Ren sat beside the grave with a sword, quietly waiting for the evil spirit to come. Emperor Jiang Ren's swordsmanship was exquisite, and countless bullies and unjust people who bullied the people died under his sword. Although Emperor Jiang Ren's cultivation was not high at that time, he already had the demeanor of a great swordsman."

"The moon is dark and the wind is strong. There are crows on the withered trees. Evil spirits crawl out from the dark tombs. Emperor Jiang fights with the evil spirits with a long sword smeared with black dog blood."

"That evil ghost was a red-robed ghost with mysterious and unpredictable methods. Even a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage could be easily fooled by it, not to mention the Emperor Jiang at that time."

"But Jiang Renhuang is Jiang Renhuang after all. He is full of energy and his blood sea is surging. In the eyes of evil spirits, Jiang Renhuang is just a bright sun. The power of those methods is only one tenth of theirs."

"Emperor Jiang Ren took advantage of the situation to subdue the evil spirit. He was about to chop off her head and send her to the underworld for reincarnation, but then he saw the evil spirit crying with blood and tears all over her face. She said that Emperor Jiang Ren was just like the people in the town, not a good person."

"From the evil spirit's own account, Emperor Jiang Ren learned the truth of the matter."

"It turns out that the evil ghost is called Ruan. She was born in a poor family in a small town and lived with her parents. The son of a wealthy family in the town died. The wealthy family was afraid that their son would be lonely in the underworld after his death, so they came up with the idea of ​​a ghost marriage. They chose Ruan, but Ruan and her parents refused."

"The two sides argued, Nguyen's parents were killed, and Nguyen was tied up and buried with the son of a wealthy family, buried alive until she died."

"Ruan was filled with resentment. After her death, she did not go to the underworld, but was forced to stay in the world of the living, enduring the pain of the mortal world. She wanted the rich family to be buried with her."

"After hearing this, Emperor Jiang sighed and let go of the evil ghost Ruan, allowing her to drift to a wealthy family."

"The people who died a few days ago were all from wealthy families. The wealthy families guessed that it was Ruan who was causing the trouble. As soon as they saw Ruan, they burst into tears and said that it was their fault. They must erect a longevity monument and a chastity arch for Ruan, and burn paper money, just to ask Ruan to eliminate her resentment and go to the underworld."

"The hatred for my parents was greater than the heavens. How could Ruan forgive them? Overnight, all the members of the wealthy family were killed. Ruan's hatred was avenged, and her soul dissipated. From then on, there was no such person in the world. This was the price she paid for forcibly staying in the world."

The audience sighed after hearing this; they didn’t expect this result.

Jiang Li was also quite emotional. He never thought that Ruan's experience had been changed into this way. If Ruan in the underworld knew about this, she would surely be happy.

After all, it is definitely better for her to take revenge herself than for Jiang Li to take revenge for her, even if the price is the destruction of her soul.

What happened in the small town was true, but there was no evil ghost named Ruan. Jiang Li only stayed in the small town occasionally and learned about Ruan's affairs from clues.

When Jiang Li learned that someone had killed their parents and arranged a ghost marriage for them, and buried them alive, he immediately became furious. He went to the wealthy family and killed the culprit, thus avenging the Ruan family.

During the whole process, there was no evil ghost Ruan, nor was there any Ruan's soul scattered. The real Ruan had already gone to the underworld to reincarnate.
