20. There is a knife three feet in front of you

After Lu Yue chose the books, she came to the front desk and went through the borrowing procedures under the guidance of Gu Li. went out to see the sky, returned to the front desk, and said to Gu Li: "Miss Gu, if there is a person named Li Wujiu looking for me later, please tell him that I have gone home." If you have the chance, tell him that I will be at the old place every day at noon. ”

"You're a friend of Young Master Li! I'll tell him. Gu Li didn't expect that this small child would actually be the man of the year in Fenggu City, and Li Wujiu was a friend, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised in her heart.

"Thank you then. Lu Yue thanked him and went out.

It was late to get back to that little hut. Lu Yue slanted the pot to cook food, and then sat by the fire, looking at the borrowed "General History of the Xizhi Continent". In the past, his history lessons were always full of praises, mythologizing emperors, ministers, generals, or some famous heroes. But this book is not like this, there is no praise in it, there is no cold ridicule, there is just a bland telling, but it is this blandness that makes Lu Yuexian feel as if there is an extremely sharp knife cutting it, showing the real history in front of him.

"The legendary emperor slaughtered the capital of the Central Empire at night, and the royal family of the Central Empire disappeared into history, and the people of the capital of the Central Empire did not survive. The official history of Xizhi said that this move laid the foundation for the unification of the Xizhi continent, but a certain family believes that this is just a sign of the unification of the mainland by bloody means. The emperor should be a person who can be a group, a person who is good at giving birth to and raising people, a person who is good at governing people, a person who is good at showing people, and a person who is good at decorating people, so that he can kiss him, be safe, be happy, and be honored. Such a bloody emperor, although legendary, is also insignificant. ”

For the legendary emperor who unified the Xizhi Continent, who in the entire Xizhi Continent did not admire it, in their opinion, everything that emperor did was right, and it needed to be learned by the people of the world. When Lu Yuexian listened to lectures in the past, he also longed for that emperor. But when he saw Aros commenting on this emperor, he was still a little apprehensive at first, but after reading Aros's comments, he had to think that this evaluation was indeed very objective. At this time, Lu Yuexian also seemed to find the reason why history is difficult to enter the Tao, when history lacks objectivity, how can those who study history enter the Tao?

"In the second and fifth years of the Xizhi calendar, the emperor disappeared, and the five sons of the emperor fought for the world, and the world returned to the troubled times. Although the gods stopped fighting, the five sons each built an empire, which was for Zhongsheng, Dongsheng, Northern Xinjiang, Nanchen, and Xiyan. Although there is a divine will, there are occasional disputes between the five countries. On the surface, it is a struggle for the power of the mainland, but it is just a family infighting. The entire continent is still the world of the Xi family, and the people of the world are just consumables for their family infighting. ”

When Lu Yuexian was listening to the lecture, although he knew some of the histories of various empires, as a native of Nanchen, he actually resented the Xiyan Empire, and even once dreamed that one day he would be able to be the general of Nanchen and destroy the Xiyan Empire with his own hands and avenge his relatives. But seeing this, he thought, even if he destroyed Xiyan, what would happen to the world? Lu Yuexian had a feeling that his outlook on life had collapsed. The fire was a little smaller, and the food in the pot was already boiling. In order to add some brightness, Lu Yuexian added some more firewood, but ignored the food in the pot and continued to look at this real history book.

"Although the five countries are competing, there are also many developments in each country. However, only a few people have ears in this development, one is royal, and the other is noble. The common people only get a small part, you must know that the development of countries is due to the majority of the ordinary people, is this way fair? If you can enjoy peace with a small amount, the people are enough, but when the people are prosperous, the people are still suffering, and in troubled times, the wars are endless, and the people are still suffering. But when will the people be happy?"

Lu Yuexian was born in a troubled time, which led to the destruction of his family, so he hated this troubled world more than anyone else. Many times, he fantasized about how good it would be if he lived in a peaceful and prosperous world. However, when he saw Arros say this, a chill grew in his heart. is like a shining saber, which not only ruthlessly slashed some of his dreams, but also cut a different historical path for him. Lu Yuexian was very glad that although some dreams were slashed and killed, he knew that those dreams should be slashed, but he was even more glad that he had finally found the true path of history, and even some directions of the path of history.

"Huh?" Lu Yue was looking at the book and suddenly smelled a smell of burnt. He had never smelled it before, and when he was about to find out what was causing it, he found that there was almost no water in the pot. Seeing this, he immediately knew what was going on, and immediately added some water to the pot, and then used a broken spoon to stir the food in the pot. In the process of stirring, Lu Yuexian was still thinking about the words expressed by Arros in the book. It wasn't until the water boiled again, splashed on his hands, and felt the pain, that he came back to his senses. So he took out the small bowl that belonged to him from the three broken bowls, and filled it with something to eat. Then I continued to read his book. The fire was smaller several times, and he only inadvertently added a few sticks of firewood to keep the fire lit enough.

I don't know how long it took, but Lu Yuexian found that he didn't need to add firewood to maintain the fire. However, he was immersed in the book and did not look for the reason, and kept looking at the book that meant so much to him.

"Boom!" suddenly let out a roar in his head for some reason, Lu Yue stood up obliquely, staring ahead with his eyes unblinking. But there was nothing in front of him, but Lu Yuexian could feel that there must be something in front of him. Reach out and touch it, except for air or air. Lu Yue closed his eyes and felt it carefully, and then he felt that about three feet away from him, there seemed to be a knife, glowing with a faint cold light. Lu Yue tried to hold it with his hand, but he found that he was moving forward, and the knife was also moving forward. The distance of three feet seems to never be shortened. But Lu Yuexian was very unwilling, and he kept moving forward. At this time, the fire had been completely extinguished, and Lu Yue kicked down the pot rack diagonally, but all his energy was on the knife, so he kept his eyes closed and walked forward, not even noticing that he had mentioned the broken pot he cherished. Lu Yuexian could feel that there was a huge force contained in that knife, and this power made Lu Yuexian fall into madness, because he needed strength, and the heart with a strong desire for power made him lost.

"Bang!" Lu Yue slanted against the wall, fortunately it was a thatched hut, the wall was not particularly hard, but he still fell down by the wall because of his violent steps. With a soft groan, the knife suddenly shattered, turning into points ......of light in the sky, and disappeared. After the knife disappeared, Lu Yuexian opened his eyes a little unwillingly, and then looked at the thatched wall in front of him a little blankly, the sunlight outside the house looked so dazzling through the thatched wall. The dazzling sunlight made Lu Yuexian can't help but close her eyes, and at this time, because the fatigue of not resting for a long time also hit her heart, Lu Yuexian fell asleep deeply.

In the dream, he had that strange dream again, and in the dream, he kept drinking a golden liquid, and many strange and wonderful sounds kept sounding in his head, which made him deeply intoxicated. And then there was the weird dagger with three strange hollows. When the dagger disappeared, the simple flute suddenly appeared, floating quietly and making some wonderful sounds. He didn't know how long he had been asleep, and when he woke up again, the sun was already sinking in the west. Lu Yuexian didn't understand why he had such a strange dream, but he still quickly got up, went outside the house to find some wood, sorted out the broken pot that he kicked down, poured some of the food he got the day before yesterday into the pot, and boiled it again. He didn't plan to go out to find food tonight, he decided to finish reading the "General History of the Xizhi Continent" tonight, he hoped that the knife would appear again. He really wanted to get his hands on that knife.

When you crave something too much, that thing will get farther and farther away from it. At night, Lu Yue obliquely read a book while carefully feeling the three-foot land in front of him. But no matter how hard he tried, the knife never appeared. Finally, he closed the book and sighed helplessly. Now that the book is finished, the knife has never appeared. He knew that the knife would never be there again tonight.

The food in the pot was constantly tumbling with the boiling water at this time, and after putting down the book, Lu Yuexian ate some hot food and fell asleep.

The next day, Lu Yuexian woke up early. Today he doesn't go begging anymore because his beggar suit has been thrown away by him. Looking at the new clothes that I was getting used to, I thought of Li Wujiu's friend, and I couldn't help but smile. But the smile quickly froze, because he realized that he was still wearing a pair of broken straw sandals on his feet, maybe he wouldn't care about it in the past, but after changing into new clothes, he was still wearing such shoes, which was really a bit nondescript. Lu Yuexian smiled bitterly, touched the two silver coins on his chest, and sighed: "After all, I still couldn't keep it!" At this time, he remembered the figure of the father and daughter, shook his head, and went out.

Lu Yuexian first went to the bazaar and bought a pair of cheap shoes for five copper coins, and after changing into new shoes, he began the process of looking for a job. In Peak Valley City, it is not difficult to find a job, and the hard-to-find job is the kind of job with a certain status. But Lu Yuexie, a ten-year-old child, doesn't expect that kind of identity and status, for him, as long as he eats, it's fine. Soon, Lu Yuexian found an apprenticeship job in the kitchen at a restaurant in Peak Valley City. The name of this restaurant is "Entai, and it has a good reputation among the beggars of Mine Valley Castle". At the beginning of the year, the restaurant places a lot of fine food on the doorstep for the beggars of the city. In addition, the staff in charge of recruiting people found that Lu Yuexian was still a person who knew words, which also provided Lu Yuexian with better conditions. Except for the lack of accommodation, everything else is covered, and there is a salary of five silver coins per month to get. This has greatly exceeded Lu Yuexie's expectations, and from that moment on, Lu Yuexian finally got rid of the life of a beggar.
