Chapter 13: The Tragedy of the Town
In the day-to-day sparring exercises, Hong Yu is getting more and more towards a qualified swordsman, and after four years of abuse, he can finally support Cook for ten minutes without using his sword qi and without freeing the spirit knife!
In this regard, Cook was also very surprised, you must know that his combat skills are summarized in actual combat, and they are very practical. Originally, he wanted to teach Hongyu these things in the process of training with Hongyu, but he didn't expect him to comprehend it so quickly. Moreover, the spirit knives of the two are completely different, and Hong Yu has even changed some of those skills, which are more suitable for his own use.
Why did he only support it for 10 minutes? In addition to the lack of practical experience, he is only a 10-year-old child!
If someone had ever said that a ten-year-old child could hold on to his knife for ten minutes, no one would have believed it.
On this day, Hong Yu, as usual, exhausted his last strength and fell to the side, panting like an ox.
Cook turned to leave.
Five years later, the ten-year-old is already close to Cook's shoulder height.
"Xiao Yu, I can't help you anymore. Cook looked a little lonely.
"Oh, no, I'm still not your opponent every day. Hongyu said.
"No, that's because you haven't fought brutal battles, so you lack real combat experience, and you're only ten years old, and your physical strength is much worse than mine. But in terms of knife skills, it is difficult to make any more progress. Cook concluded.
Silently bowing his head, Hongyu knew that Cook was right. He also felt as if he had entered a bottleneck, and it was difficult to improve a little more.
"But, isn't it very good here in Nok Town, it doesn't matter if I have a strong force or not," Hong Yu had long been accustomed to living calmly in Nok Town, and said casually.
Cook glanced at him and said leisurely, "You're right, if Nock Town can be like this forever, it doesn't matter if you don't have a strong force."
Hmm? Hongyu felt that something was wrong.
"You know, maybe there are only two places in the whole world where you can live so leisurely. Cook continued, "And the remaining eight empires are at war year after year, maybe you are still an Odin today, and tomorrow you will be a Berman."
"One is Nok Town, and the other is Heavenly Sword Domain?" Hong Yu guessed.
Cook's eyes showed a little appreciation, and he continued, "Do you know why these two places were spared?"
"As a holy place for swordsmen, the Heavenly Sword Domain must have many masters. As for our Nok Townβ" Hong Yu remembered the hotel owner who helped him stop the emperor's domineering power when he was five years old, "It seems that there are also masters." β
"Yes, there are masters. A cold glint flashed in Cook's eyes, "Actually, a considerable number of people are disgusted with war, or for various other reasons, they have come to Nok Town to live in seclusion and ignore the world, and there are many peerless swordsmen!"
"Your boss is very powerful," Hong Yu said thoughtfully.
"I don't know where he's reached, in fact, we never talk about the outside world, we just want to live like an ordinary person. He's a shopkeeper, and I'm a shopkeeper. After a pause, Cook added, "He helped you out that day because of the rules of our Nok Town, if an outsider uses force in Nok Town, the nearest person will rush over to solve it, and if it can't be solved, more people will rush over! β
Hongyu suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, no wonder, Nok Town is not managed by the government, but everything is in order, and there are many masters hidden." So, it's their credit that we weren't affected by the war?"
"It's true that they have a lot of credit, but that's only one thing. If you look at the map, the geographical location of Nok Town is at the foot of Tianling Mountain, in the middle of the three empires of Hadias, Berman, and Kate. Hadias and Berman are separated by a heavenly ridge, if one country occupies Nok Town, it can attack the other country, in other words, no matter which country occupies this place, it will have to bear the military pressure of the other two empires! Therefore, there are people on the mainland who want to hide in the world, and they have come to Nok Town, forming the current Nok Town" Cook has lived here for ten years, and slowly understands the origin of Nok Town.
Only now, Hongyu knows how lucky he is to live in a paradise since he was a child. If you were born elsewhere on the mainland, you might not be able to thrive!
Cook grabbed his hair hard, "You are still young, you haven't seen the outside world, you haven't had your own colorful life, let you grow up here slowly, grow old, until you die." When I think about this, I feel like I'm committing a crime!, and it doesn't make any sense for you to live in vain! So, go your own way, I won't interfere. Everything I can teach you has already been taught to you, and that's it, I'm leaving. You, do it yourself. Cook's eyes were red, and after five years of getting along, he almost regarded Hongyu as his own son.
Cook got up to leave, and Feather opened his mouth, trying to hold back for a moment but didn't know what reason.
Cook left, only Hongyu was left in the room, recalling that in the past ten years, he had been practicing the "Barbarian Three Blades" from three to five years old, and the five-year-old spirit knife was awakened, and until now it was Cook who taught himself to practice knives. What's next, what should I do?
Ten years after coming to this world, Hongyu began to think about his future for the first time.
Hong Yu looked at the immortal punishment in his hand, and his eyes lit up. He was a knife lover in his previous life, and this is a world of knives, so travel around the world to see all kinds of spirit knives! Hongyu finally had a goal, and a hot current surged through his heart, and he suddenly felt that he couldn't sit still for a moment.
But thinking that there was still a war outside, and it was said that he had been fighting for more than a thousand years, would he die in the chaos? Thinking of this, Hong Yu felt a little sad in his heart.
Cook said not long ago, my sword qi is about to reach the beginning of the solution, why don't you find a place to perform the spirit knife first solution?
A month has passed, Hong Yu cultivates sword qi every day, but the spirit knife has no sign of starting to solve, and the cultivation of sword qi seems to have reached a bottleneck, and the entry is getting slower and slower.
"Don't wait, I'll leave tomorrow!" Hongyu was already itching, he couldn't wait any longer, the day before leaving, he sent a ghost to the old man's tomb, took out a pot of wine, spilled it, and then returned it to its original owner: stick the knife on the hill bag, and it should be a tombstone! (Old man Adam continued to smile at Jiuquan!)
The next day, at dawn, Hongyu walked out of the courtyard gate and set off with a longing for the world and a passion for the knife.
Cook felt the breath of the feather, moved in the direction of the town, and secretly thought to himself: "Will it be too young, only ten years old." But if you stay here, you won't make any progress. Alas, let him go, his knife skills should be enough to protect himself, and being young is also a good disguise, there shouldn't be a strong man bullying a ten-year-old child, right?"
Standing at the entrance of the town, where are you going? Hongyu looked up at the sky, the sun had just risen. Hongyu's heart moved, facing the direction of the sun, it was so willful!
Hongyu walked quietly on the road, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. I've been walking for more than a week, and I haven't seen anyone, so I can't help but feel a little discouraged.
Just thinking about it, a small town appeared in the distance in the sky, and I was overjoyed, so I quickened my pace and rushed over.
I haven't seen anyone outside yet, and I'm a little excited.
As he got closer to the town, Hung Feather felt something was wrong, and there was silence in the broken gate. Approaching a hut and looking inside, he happened to see a scene that made his heart tremble: "Two women, like a mother and daughter, are naked, their skin is blue and purple, their eyes are wide and there is no trace of brilliance, and their lower bodies are blurred with flesh and blood. Looks like he's been dead for a long time. β
Hongyu, whether in his previous life or in this life, encountered such a vicious incident for the first time, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and clench his fists: "Beast!" He walked straight in, trembling his hands, and dug a pit on the spot to let them settle in the ground.
With a heavy heart, I walked out of the hut and walked around, and found that the corpses of the whole town were women, old people and children, but there were very few men in the prime of life, and I felt a little strange in my heart. There were also a few dead soldiers in a hut, all of whom were sealed with a sword!
In the entire town, Hongyu has buried a total of more than 100 people.
Coming to another hut, Hongyu took a deep breath and pushed the door in. The scene in front of him made him a little stunned, it was not surprising that it was a woman, and unexpectedly, this woman was also covered with a quilt. Are there still survivors?
Hongyu's eyes lit up, and when she stepped forward, she had also been dead for a long time. Sighing silently, Hongyu was a little disappointed, and dug a pit next to her, ready to bury her.
