In the second half of the road, Gu Xiaobei walked behind alone.

Looking at these people in front of him, he seemed to understand something, but he didn't understand anything. Each of these four people has their own story, but even if they can't understand what the other has experienced, they still understand each other's feelings.

It's good, affectionate and righteous, this is a friend.

There are the fetters of life and death, there is pain, there is happiness, this is life.

For no reason, Gu Xiaobei laughed alone, and he felt that he had fallen into that state of moaning without illness again. Another voice in his heart said, there is no need to think so much, the days are over, and the happiness and sadness will always pass.

The depression in his heart was swept away, he clenched his fists, felt full of energy, and trotted all the way to catch up with the large army in front.

————

On the second day, Beishan, Wuzifang.

In the dojo in early winter, before it was quiet for more than a day, the sound of people chopping stakes with burning sticks sounded here. When Gu Xiaobei came back, all the stake people here had been replaced, and the last time Lu You Deed destroyed a lot of stake people, those pieces of wood that were broken into two or three pieces were obviously unusable.

The burning stick slashed, the knife was extremely fast, and then immediately followed by the next style, after the first stake man had been hit several times, Gu Xiaobei had already sprinted in front of the second stake man.

Combo skills,This time it's really linked up with various moves.,And the target of the attack has also expanded.。

In fact, at the time of the duel that day, Lu Youqi had already answered his question. The last style was really as he thought, the speed was so fast that it was impossible to see with the naked eye, and the so-called one style was actually countless slashes linked together, so it could achieve the effect of one thousand blows.

But there are variables in this move, no one stipulates that you need to carry the first move, and no one stipulates that you need to start with the first move, and the use of the move is completely controlled by the person who made the move.

A day passed, and Gu Xiaobei's way of practicing was very different from before.

Miss Otoyuki, who was wearing a kimono, poked her head out and asked

"Did you have breakfast?"

Gu Xiaobei nodded, and then continued to devote himself to training.

In the kitchen of the main room.

Lu Youqi took a piece of bread and asked while chewing

"Coming back?"

"Well, and it's been in the dojo again in the morning. ”

"Nowadays children have tempers, what are the words...... Tsundere. You leave him alone, he'll be back in two days. ”

"He's not your child, why do you care so much. Miss Yin Xue smiled rarely.

"Hey...... Anyway, it's half of my apprentice, right?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because he's been for so many years...... The only one who can use breathing. Lu Youqi sighed.

"Can he really use it?" Miss Otoyuki looked surprised.

"There is an essential difference between ordinary breathing and real breathing, and all the students, whether excellent or ordinary, over the years, what they eventually learn is the rhythm of breathing. They can't feel nature through their breath, so they can't use the last pose. ”

"Can Gu Xiaobei use it?"

"No, of course not right now. His time to get started was too short, wouldn't those students still come to the dojo to practice after finishing the course? But if he was able to use breathing, he had a possibility that others didn't have. Maybe one day in the future, he can really use the last form. ”

"Why haven't you mentioned this to those students in all these years?"

"Because they won't, and it's useless to say it. Lu Youqi said.

"It's really rare, I thought there were no students coming to the door in the past few years, just him, so don't take care of him. But now it seems that he does have the potential to be different from others. ”

"As a faculty member of the college, I will be fair to everyone. And as a user of the school of breathing, I want to promote this school. ”

"No wonder you didn't join your father's dojo when you died. ”

Lu Youqi chuckled, picked up a sandwich and blocked it next to Yin Xue's mouth.

Miss Yin Xue snatched it down and continued to ask

"What about the commission of the Heavenly Blades? Are you going to give it up like this? I remember someone telling me that the knife was the ultimate dream of all murderers. ”

"Of course, after hearing the legend of this knife, I thought about it almost day and night. But that was when I was young, and I wanted to take that knife and kill all the beasts in the world, but in the end, I couldn't do a ten-thousandth of what I had to do. And then ...... That's where I met you. ”

"So, it's an old man now?"

"People are not old, their hearts are old, and their bodies are still young. Lu Youqi smiled shamelessly.

Miss Otoyuki's face suddenly turned red.

After breakfast, Lu Youqi walked to the dojo, since the unpleasant events of that day had not spoken a word between them, someone had to break the silence.

Lu Youqi, who changed into ordinary clothes, looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, except for his slightly taller figure and a somewhat handsome tough face.

He stood under the eaves and looked at the figure of the young man in the dojo, thinking about how to speak.

But just when he was inspired, the young man turned his head first.

Lu Youqi is still the same sentence. ”

"Which sentence?" Lu Youqi found it a little interesting.

"I want to try. ”

"But you're too weak to do it. Lu Youqi shook his head.

"Maybe not right now, but I still have time. ”

"There is still a month before ......the fair," Lu Youqi wanted to continue, but the boy suddenly shouted loudly

"Enough!"

Yes, enough is enough. Gu Xiaobei thought, no matter what, he must achieve this goal, as for how many times he has to work hard, he really doesn't know, but there is a voice in his heart calling him, he must take this commission.

"Why are you so persistent? Are you also interested in that knife?" Lu Youqi asked

"I ...... too Don't understand. Although the B-class mission is almost impossible for me to complete at the moment, like the call in the bloodborne, a voice in my heart tells me that I must go. Gu Xiaobei explained seriously.

In fact, he was a little wrong, it was not that he had not completed the B-rank crusade mission. The hotel incident in City A is a B-class mission, and the ancestry assessment after the fact can almost catch up with the A-class. But he wouldn't have said anything about it when he died, just like Chaos said.

Whoever he betrays, he will not betray himself.

"The Japanese begged you?"

Gu Xiaobei nodded, and then said, "He did come to me, but I said I couldn't help him, and then he left disappointed." ”

"Do you really want to go?"

"It's true. ”

"Then you practice first, if after a while I think you have grown, I may change my mind. Lu Youqi's reaction was unexpected, he didn't refuse outright.

It's a test.

"Understood. Gu Xiaobei took a deep breath.

"One more thing. Lu Youqi said.

"What?"

"I apologize to you for what happened that day. It stands to reason that the master doesn't have to apologize to the apprentice, but you didn't count it at that time. ”

After saying this, Lu Youqi left without looking back, he deliberately changed into normal clothes today, and he was going to the academy.

Gu Xiaobei stood in the dojo and thought for a long time, finally

He said softly

"It's okay, master. ”

——————————

It was some kind of bell tower, three hundred meters above the ground on the edge of danger, and two men stood on two angles of the bell tower.

"We ...... When will it be?"

"The time has not yet come. ”

"But time is never on our side, and hesitating will only make things harder and harder. ”

"Why...... Why don't you listen to me? I said, the time is not yet up. ”

"Are you afraid of death?"

"What are you talking about? I'm afraid of death? We've been dead once, don't you think it's ridiculous to say that?"

"Yes...... If it goes on like this, I can't tell the difference. ”

"Can't tell what?"

"Which is who you really are. He felt a little pain in his brain, like two personalities were fighting in his head.

The man on the other side looked even more pained.

"Don't worry....... Things will be over soon and we will be able to go home soon"

"Really?"

"Now, do we have a way out?

The two looked at each other and fell into a long silence.
