Deep in the mountains, there is a small stream that flows, and on the banks of the stream, three thatched huts stand. In one of the huts, Xu Shu was holding a book and reading hard.

I don't know when, an old man in Tsing Yi walked up to Xu Shu, looked at Xu Shu who was reading hard, and called softly: "Yuan Zhi." ”

Xu Shu saw the old man in Tsing Yi, his face was respectful, and he made a disciple's salute: "Master! ”

This old man in Tsing Yi is Xu Shu's master Qingzhuke, and he is also famous for his early years in the world, but after living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, few people know the word Qingzhuke.

Qingzhuke looked at Xu Shu and said with a smile: "What, haven't you always wanted to go out of the mountain?" Why didn't you go when Yuan Yao recruited you for his father last night? ”

Xu Shu said: "Master, the reason why Yuan Yao wants to recruit me for Yuan Shu is just because I killed that Xiliang thief, and I don't know what my ability is." If I were under Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu might treat me differently because I helped Yuan Yao, but he would never reuse me, he used me because of Yuan Yao, which is not what I wanted. ”

Xu Shu did not have any doubts about why Qingzhuke knew what happened last night, Xu Shu made up his mind to apprentice after being rescued, and then met Qingzhuke in this mountain forest and was accepted as a disciple by Qingzhuke.

To be honest, until now, Xu Shu didn't know how strong Qingzhuke's strength was, only that even if he was now cultivating both body and soul, and his achievements were good, he was still not Qingzhuke's opponent.

Thinking about the rumors he heard when he went down the mountain not long ago, Xu Shu thought to himself that maybe only the existence of Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei could fight against Qingzhuke. And this Qingzhu guest is not only good at cultivation, but also extremely knowledgeable, Xu Shu has not been studying under Qingzhu Ke for a long time, and he is bowing down to Qingzhuke's knowledge.

Xu Shu was also a bold and uninhibited ranger at the beginning, and for such people, the only thing that can make them willing to be disciples is the existence that crushes them, and Qingzhuke is undoubtedly such an existence for Xu Shu.

Qingzhuke said with a smile: "Apprentice, you can think about it, if you don't go out of the mountain this time, you may not be able to encounter such a good opportunity in the future, as far as the division knows, Yuan Highway has now entered Runan to prepare to pacify the Yellow Turban, with the strength of the Runan Yellow Turban can not stop Yuan Highway at all, when the Runan Yellow Turban is certain, coupled with the support of the Runan Yuan family, the entire Yuzhou may fall into the hands of Yuan Shu, and then the Yuan Shu who holds Nanyang and Yuzhou will be strong, You will not be treated in the same way at this time and in the past. ”

Facing Qingzhuke's persuasion, Xu Shu smiled.

"Master, you know that it is impossible for me to go at this time." At this time, there was a stream of light in Xu Shu's eyes: "My current cultivation is still too weak, at least I have to wait until I enter the Condensing Gang Realm or the Void Soul Realm, at that time, no matter how far Yuan Shu's power develops, I will not be treated badly." Moreover, I don't have to take refuge in Yuan Shu, there are so many princes in the world, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Biao, who can't vote? ”

Seeing that his obedient apprentice reacted like this, Qingzhuke smiled, and the time spent with Xu Shu was not short, and he also had a little understanding of Xu Shu's temperament, knowing that although this apprentice said that he did not have to go to Yuan Shu, he had already listed Yuan Shu as the first consideration in his heart. If Yuan Shu can still maintain such a momentum of development when Xu Shu comes out of the mountain a few years later, no, even if Yuan Shu does not develop at all, as long as Yuan Shu does not do anything too disappointing, then Xu Shu Bacheng will go to Yuan Shu.

However, who can say for sure what will happen in the future, and it is not impossible for Xu Shu to change his mind in case of any accident.

Xu Shu continued to read hard, while Qingzhuke walked out of the thatched hut and looked at the sky, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The world is going to be in chaos again, but it won't affect him as a recluse, and it has been very gratifying for Qingzhuke to find such a good seedling as Xu Shu before he dies to pass on his mantle, as for the rest, Qingzhuke is unwilling to think about it, at least not now.

And when Xu Shu continued to study hard, Yuan Yao and the others, who had entered the Runan realm, encountered a little trouble.

Yuan Yao was in the middle, Yu Shi and Wei Yan were guarding Yuan Yao with horses and knives, one left and one right, and around the three of them, there were at least a hundred bandits with some rudimentary weapons eyeing Yuan Yao and the three of them.

Well, it's not quite appropriate to say that it's eyeing the tiger.

Although there are more than 100 people in this bandit, but Yuan Yao and the three of them, except for Yuan Yao, Yu Shi and Wei Yan both have the strength of the Yunjin Realm, but most of these bandits have yellow muscles and thin muscles, and they will quench the blood realm when they reach the sky, and the leader is also only the cultivation of the Iron Bone Realm, and such a lineup is completely here to send people to the head.

Because of this, although Yuan Yao and the others were surrounded by more than 100 bandits, they didn't have too much to worry about, with their strength, this hundred people were not enough for them to kill, but they were worried that someone was hiding among this group of bandits, and they didn't make the first move in order to avoid being hit.

However, although there are many of these hundred bandits, it is obvious that their eyesight is not very good, and they did not realize the true strength of Yuan Yao and his party, and one of the leaders stepped forward with a long knife and said to the three of Yuan Yao: "Three, it is not good for you to meet us, leave the money, and let the three of you leave." ”

Yuan Yao and Yu Shewei Yan glanced at each other when they heard this, then smiled and said softly: "Where did the ignorant thief come from, it's really unashamed." ”

The bandit leader was furious when he heard this, and pointed his knife at Yuan Yao and said, "Boy, I have changed my mind, the two of them can go, but you have to leave it for me." ”

As soon as the bandit leader finished speaking, before Yuan Yao could scold a few words, Wei Yan just raised his knife and stepped forward, waving his long knife, and the wind was cold, directly slashing the bandit leader.

When the bandit leader saw that Wei Yan actually took the initiative to attack, he also smiled angrily and swung his knife forward. But as soon as the two long knives collided, the bandit leader's face changed drastically.

Wei Changchang knife waved left and right, turning into a series of afterimages in the air, and in an instant, he crossed the barrier of the bandit leader, and the long knife slashed into the chest of the bandit leader, although it failed to solve the bandit leader with one knife, but it also left a hideous blood mark on his chest.

The knife failed, Wei Yan let out a long roar again, and when he crossed by the wrong horse with the bandit leader, the long knife slashed, the knife flashed, and a head flew up.
