Second Sister Lu told Xuanyuan Buge: "Don't worry, Lu Gongzhen is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated. You already knew ten years ago, the people of Lugong Town have their own principles. ”

Xuanyuan replied, "Well, I know, that's why I don't want to get into trouble here." ”

Second Sister Lu sighed. Xuanyuan Buge has made up her mind, she knows that nothing can be changed.

"Since you said so, I won't persuade you. You go to rest. Second Sister Lu walked outside the door, and stopped halfway through the door. Said to Xuanyuan Buge: "I asked someone to rebuild the wooden liao in Beishan, and now there is a child who is about the same age as you came to live in it, saying that he wants to thank you face to face, and the next time I pass here, I will go to see him." ”

Xuanyuan didn't sing, there was no response. It's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he doesn't know if he'll be able to keep his promise. It was too heavy for him to agree on such a thing.

As soon as Second Sister Lu left, the guys in the store brought him bath water.

This guy and Xuanyuan Buge are also old acquaintances, and when they saw Xuanyuan Buge, they were very happy: "Don't sing, I heard that you are amazing now." If you become a big official, can you let me be the head of your house? The store was too tired, and the second sister scolded people at every turn. ”

Xuanyuan Buge smiled: "Second sister heard it, you are going to be beaten again." ”

The guy scratched his head embarrassedly: "The second sister is good at everything, but her temper is too short-tempered." ”

The guy said: "Actually, I don't really think that the second sister is bad, but I have been to your Beishan Muliao in the farthest place when I grow so big, and I am a little unwilling." I heard from the guests that the beauties of Yousu are more beautiful than the fairies, the palaces of Longdu are covered with Daoyun, and the Longxiang Army of Xuanyuan City is mighty in all directions. I itched in my heart and wanted to see if it was true. ”

This fellow's name is Lu Zhou, and he is the carpenter's son. But he didn't like carpentry work since he was a child, and often went to Second Sister Lu's shop to help with chores, and practiced swords with Xuanyuan Buge.

Although Lu Zhou's swordsmanship is not as good as Xuanyuan Buge's 'Sword Peerless in the World', he is not an ordinary mediocre person; Among them, there are many famous warriors on the rivers and lakes.

He wanted to leave Lugong Town, but Xuanyuan Buge felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Xuanyuan Buge said: "Since there are so many places you want to go, and your kung fu is not bad, go to the rivers and lakes." ”

Lu Zhou complained to Xuanyuan Buge: "I want to too, but I don't have anything, and it's not like you, who are not afraid ......of hardship, tiredness, or death." ”

Lu Zhou seemed to realize that what he said was too much, and looked at Xuanyuan Buge in a panic, and saw that Xuanyuan Buge was already smiling at him shallowly, so he continued: "I'm just a broken wooden sword!" The second sister said that if she left Lugong Town, she wouldn't be able to survive for half a month. ”

Lu Zhou is much younger than Xuanyuan Buge, and he is not yet fifteen years old. For his age, his strength is top-notch.

But what Second Sister Lu said was also the truth. Lu Zhou didn't dare to kill people, and he only did it to the point. I usually do chores in the store, and I don't even dare to kill chickens.

Jianghu martial arts are a place full of blood and rancidity, and it is impossible to kill or be killed.

The only people who don't kill people on the rivers and lakes are those saints who have 'reached the pinnacle', and they believe in the doctrine that they would rather be killed than kill people. Such a person, Xuanyuan Buge has also encountered:

On the way from Longdu to Xuanyuan, someone came to persuade him to stop fighting. Xuanyuan Buge cut off his hands, but he still smiled and said: "Human nature is good, why are people in the world blinded by obsession......." Xuanyuan Buge cut off his tongue, but he also wrote on the ground with his feet, "Please don't cut down" in four bloody characters.

Lu Zhou is by no means such a saint, and it is very clear that Xuanyuan does not sing.

For it was not his own choice to make a wooden sword. It's just that in this place of Lugong Town, no one will give him a sword that can cut turnips.

Lu Zhou went to the blacksmith shop many times, but the blacksmith was unwilling to give him a sword. The blacksmith shop in Lugong Town does not sell weapons, this is one reason, and there is a more important reason, because Lu Zhou's father said: "Whoever gives Lu Zhou the weapon to kill will have to pay for his life after Lu Zhou kills someone." ”

Actually, in Xuanyuan Buge's view; Lu Zhou's wooden sword is also a rare weapon. It was a piece of wood that Lu Zhou's father treasured, which was stolen by Lu Zhou and divided into two, half of which was made into the scabbard of the quenching sword, and the other half was sharpened with two wooden swords.

Because of this period of worrying about the wood, Xuanyuan Buge and Lu Zhou were hung up by Lu Zhou's father and beaten for three days and three nights.

Xuanyuan Buge said: "Whether it is a wooden sword or a divine sword, it is never a weapon that kills people, but a heart." ”

Lu Zhou sighed: "It was like this a long time ago, I basically don't understand what you and the second sister say." Just tell me if you can take me with you. ”

The road taken by Xuanyuan Buge is the ultimate road, and he has decided to go down alone, so he will never take Lu Zhou on the road with him.

Xuanyuan Buge said: "I won't be anyone's guest, and I won't have a place to live." Travelers in the world, seeking 'quenching blood and opening the front'. ”

Everything Xuanyuan Buge has done, all his pursuits in life are only one thing, that is, 'quenching blood and opening the front', Lu Zhou knew it a long time ago.

When he first heard Xuanyuan Buge say that he wanted to find 'the only thing in the world' to open the blood sword, Lu Zhou also laughed at him fiercely, took him to the blacksmith shop, and told Xuanyuan Buge: "To open the sword, just find a blacksmith to smash a few hammers and sharpen it." ”

However, it took five or six days for several blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop to smash a single mark on the blood-quenching sword, and several whetstones were broken without sharpening the edge.

After that, Lu Zhou really believed that it was not the 'only thing in the world' that could not be used for the blood quenching sword.

Knowing that Xuanyuan Buge no longer cared about fame and fortune at all, Lu Zhou was somewhat disappointed. Said to Xuanyuan Buge:

"I know it's definitely the case, but if you really don't want it, you can give it to me. I want to be an official, I want to eat, drink and be merry. ”

Xuanyuan Buge was silent for a while, and seemed to have made a lot of determination, and told Lu Zhou: "Xuanyuan City's Phoenix King is a general who takes care of his subordinates very well, and he is also the most powerful candidate for the city lord of Xuanyuan City; With your ability and heart, he will definitely be willing to recruit you under the account. ”

Lu Zhou has always believed in Xuanyuan Buge, and since Xuanyuan Buge asked him to go to Xuanyuan City, he decided to go. Ask Xuanyuan Buge: "What do I have to prepare?" Do you want to buy a good sword to carry with you? ”

Xuanyuan Buge said: "Just take your wooden sword with you, you don't like to kill." Changing weapons is not necessarily a good thing. ”

Hearing that Xuanyuan didn't sing and asked him to take the wooden sword, Lu Zhou felt a little inappropriate: "...... with the wooden sword, will it be too shabby, and people will laugh at me for being a hillbilly when they look at it." ”

"If someone laughs at you, you should use your wooden sword to tell him, 'Your wooden sword is no worse than his sharp weapon when it kills.'" ”

Hearing Xuanyuan Buge say this, Lu Zhou swallowed his saliva: "This ...... But......! Lu Zhou didn't know what to say, because others laughed at him, would he have to lose his life, such a price is too great.

However, if this is the rivers and lakes; Then he had no choice. If the price of leaving Lugong Town is that he must kill people, then he can only kill people.

Although Lu Zhou also knew that the appointment was actually very cheap, he really couldn't accept such a thing.

The bath water was ready, Xuanyuan Buge soaked in the water, Lu Zhou asked him: "I have heard about the melee in Longdu and the killing from Longdu to Xuanyuan City, you have killed a lot of people, are you afraid?" ”

When he asked this, Lu Zhou avoided Xuanyuan Buge's gaze. He was even afraid to hear Xuanyuan Buge's answer, but he was curious about Xuanyuan Buge's answer.

Xuanyuan Buge looked at Lu Zhou, couldn't help laughing, and told Lu Zhou: "Well, I killed a lot of people." Are you afraid? I don't know, maybe I've been living in fear, I've forgotten what it's like to be afraid. ”

When Xuanyuan Buge said this, his tone was no different from before, as if he was talking to himself, as if he was just talking about how many radishes he had pulled from geography.

As for Xuanyuan Buge, who has been living in fear, Lu Zhou only knows that he was chased and fled to Lugong Town. After living in Kitayama Woody, although he often helped the people in the town, he was not very close to people.

He helped the people in the town, firstly to get food, and secondly, to repay the people of Lugong Town for letting him live here.

Second Sister Lu and Lu Zhou were the closest to him, but they only knew that Xuanyuan Buge came from a far away. As for where that place is, even Xuanyuan Buge himself can't say.

When Xuanyuan Buge came to town, he rode a scarred and skinny old horse, and some people who knew horses said that it was a wild horse living in the northern grasslands, and it was a rare horse.

It's a pity that it has experienced too many fights with the young man, and it is impossible to gallop anymore, although the veterinarian in the town gave the old horse medicine, but it only temporarily saved its life. Lao Ma lived with Xuanyuan Buge in Beishan for two years and died of pain.

It was Xuanyuan Buge who sent it on the road, and that was the only time Lu Zhou saw Xuanyuan Buge crying. In addition, no matter what situation he was in, no matter what kind of difficulties and pain he encountered, Xuanyuan Buge never shed half a tear.

What is human life in Xuanyuan Buge's heart? Lu Zhou hadn't thought about it before, but at this moment, he suddenly thought: If he met Xuanyuan Buge Sword Soldier one day, would he be merciful to his subordinates?

Lu Zhou was afraid of death, and even more afraid of dying under Xuanyuan Buge's sword. Just thinking of fighting with Xuanyuan Buge for life and death, he trembled with fear, looked at Xuanyuan Buge who was thrown in the bathtub, and then looked at the quenching blood sword on the table, and turned to face out the window:

"Can you grant me a request?"

"You say." What is Lu Zhou's request, Xuanyuan Buge has actually guessed it. But he still looked at Lu Zhou very seriously and glared at him.
