Chapter 20: The Past

Zhang Yiteng knew that now was the best opportunity to propose the Hundred Soul Beads, so he bowed down and said: "The juniors have nothing else to ask for, but to ask the owner to exchange the Hundred Soul Beads in his hand with the juniors." ”

"What? Do you want a hundred soul beads? ”

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looked at the long sword in his hand and hesitated for a long time, and then roared angrily at Zhang Yiteng: "Say! Who sent you, and what are your plans to ask for the Hundred Soul Beads? ”

That majestic face was suddenly occupied by greed, obsession, panic, rage and many other emotions, which frightened Xiang'er and Zhang Yiteng for a while.

However, he soon realized his gaffe, regained his composure, and put the sword into the sheath again, "Qingfeng Gongzi, it was the old man who was rude just now. As for your sword, although it is a good sword, I will not change it. ”

"Master Lu Zhuang," Zhang Yiteng said hurriedly, "If you think this sword is not worth it, I can also send a few more divine weapons." ”

"Childe doesn't need to say much!" Lu Xiao's attitude gradually turned cold, "Lu can't afford this sword, and I hope to take it back." ”

Xiang'er hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded, "Daddy, I see that you play with that bead every day, and you can't understand the legendary 'Hundred Battles Spirit Accumulation', so it's better to be practical, and change a good weapon to improve your martial arts." ”

"Hmph, it's all said that my daughter is extroverted, which is not false at all." Lu Xiao was even more unhappy when he saw his daughter looking at Zhang Yiteng like this, "How do you know that if your father can't understand it today, it will be the same tomorrow?" After listening to her father's words, Xiang'er immediately blushed and was coquettish.

"The Hundred Battles Spirit Rhyme is extremely mysterious, which is so easy to understand. Give Daddy some more time, and sooner or later he will be able to crack the secret of the Hundred Soul Beads. Saying that, Lu Xiao returned the sword to Zhang Yiteng.

Zhang Yiteng reluctantly took back the long sword, it turned out that this bead still contained martial arts secrets. However, he can also understand the mind of the owner of Lu Zhuang: now that the beads are in hand, there is still a chance to crack and learn a mastery; If he gives it to others, he will never have a chance, and even if he learns that others have learned to learn from this practice, then he will not regret it?

"Whoever comes is a guest. Xiang'er, Qingfeng Gongzi came to visit not far away, so he couldn't lose his courtesy, so he stayed for a few days. Qingfeng Gongzi, the old man still has to practice, so he won't accompany him. With that, Lu Xiao turned around and went back to the room, and he didn't look back.

Alas, this owner of Lu Zhuang is also heroic. It is not a pity to break a hundred swords during the sword trial; When he gave up, he didn't look at it without the slightest greed or hesitation, and his bearing was really extraordinary.

"Brother Zhang," although Xiang'er had guessed that her father was going to refuse, she also looked at Zhang Yiteng apologetically at the moment, "My father is this temper, don't be surprised by you." You stay first, and it's Daddy's birthday soon. I'll find another opportunity to talk to him, and maybe I'll change my mind. ”

Zhang Yiteng is determined to create an "S-class weapon", and of course he will not give up easily. I had no choice but to listen to Xiang'er's words and stay for the time being, and see if there was a chance to get the Hundred Soul Beads in the future.

————————————

The housekeeper arranged for Zhang Yiteng to stay in the guest room, but he also took good care of him. In the evening, Zhang Yiteng had dinner, took a bath and went to bed to rest.

The window opened softly, and the silver glow of the moonlight fell on the bed.

Zhang Yiteng looked at the moonlight, thinking of the resoluteness of the owner of Lu Zhuang during the day, the chance of getting the Hundred Soul Beads was slim, and he couldn't help but feel melancholy. Anyway, he couldn't sleep horizontally, so Zhang Yiteng got up and walked out of the room.

At this time, it is the height of summer, and the garden of Jubao Villa is full of flowers, fragrant and intoxicating. Zhang Yiteng is in it, even if he comes from modern times, many strange flowers and plants are only seen in his life.

Zhang Yiteng was taking a walk in the garden, and saw a shadow sitting on a stone bench in front of him, and he looked a little lonely at night.

"Xiang'er?" Zhang Yiteng was a little surprised, and she didn't fall asleep.

Xiang'er heard his voice and suddenly looked back. Zhang Yiteng was seeing her pretty face. Xiang'er's red face was like a ripe apple, as if she was ashamed and happy, and a pair of affectionate apricot eyes were staring at Zhang Yiteng obsessively.

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, you didn't sleep either." She muttered softly, Zhang Yiteng couldn't help but move in his heart, Xiang'er is usually free and generous, but she didn't expect to have a gentle and lovely side.

Zhang Yiteng nodded and sat there with her, both of them couldn't help but be excited.

"Xiang'er, what you told Lord Lu Zhuang about today is the Hundred Battles Spirit Rhyme... What kind of martial arts? What does it have to do with the Hundred Soul Beads? Feeling that the atmosphere was a little delicate, Zhang Yiteng quickly diverted her attention and brought the topic to other things.

"Alas," Xiang'er let out a faint sigh, "this is a long story..."

“… In fact, this Hundred Soul Beads still has a relationship with my Lu family. Thirty years ago, my father was in the prime of life, and he befriended a great hero when he was wandering the rivers and lakes. The great hero's name is Uhao. At that time, the two fought against a strong enemy together, and Wu Hao performed miraculous feats to repel the enemy. ”

"That kung fu must be a hundred battles spirit rhyme?" Zhang Yi Tengfu reached the heart and blurted out his debut.

"Brother Zhang is really smart." Xiang'er smiled appreciatively at Zhang Yiteng's wit, "The powerful father of that exercise has witnessed it, and it is enough to describe it as 'shocking'." The wonders of martial arts are deeply rooted in his heart until today. ”

"Then what does this martial art have to do with the Hundred Soul Beads?"

“… Later, the great hero Wuhao was unfortunately plotted by a traitor, and his father fought to rescue him. But after the two escaped, Wuhao was already dying..."

"Before he died, he said to his father, 'I have killed people all my life, and I have already seen through life and death; However, there is only one regret, and there is no successor to this hundred battles spirit rhyme. You and I are friends of life and death, and I will tell you the secret of the exercises. You learned this skill, not only because I have repaid you for saving your life, but also because of my wish. ’”

Then he leaned close to his father's ear, 'The secret of the Hundred Battles Spirit Yun Gong is hidden in the Hundred Soul Beads. Find it, and you will be able to learn this martial art. After that, he couldn't support it and died. ”

"Since then, my father has been obsessed with finding the Hundred Soul Beads all his life. It can be said that he searched for treasures everywhere, until he founded Jubao Villa, all thanks to this thing. ”

"Until recent years, my Zhuang Zhuangke found a hundred soul beads in an ancient tomb in Liangzhou. My father was overjoyed to receive this pearl and studied it every day, hoping to understand the mystery. ”

After listening to Xiang'er's story, Zhang Yiteng secretly complained: In this way, the owner of this Lu Zhuang will not understand the secret of the Hundred Soul Beads for a day; If he doesn't give up this pearl to himself one day, then his weapon-building plan will probably go bankrupt.

However, it is not impossible to do so. If I see through the mechanism of the Hundred Soul Bead and help him unlock the secrets in it, then this bead will be of no use to Lu Xiao, and I will have a chance to get it...

"Ah!!!!h

Zhang Yiteng was pondering here, and suddenly there were bursts of women's screams of horror in the distance, as if the owner of the voice had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

Zhang Yiteng and Xiang'er glanced at each other, stood up, and ran in the direction where the voice came. Both wanted to see what was going on there.
