Chapter 14 Eliminate the Three Evils Everywhere

Zhou Chu is the son of Zhou Yi, and the family originally lived a happy life. Unexpectedly, there were unforeseen circumstances, but Zhou Yi died, and Zhou became an orphan (note: in ancient times, the children of their fathers who died were called orphans). Since then, he has become fierce and willful. When he grew up a little, he became a bully in the township, and whenever something didn't suit him, he would be furious, and even punch and kick him, and he wouldn't listen to anyone else's persuasion. As a result, he was considered a scourge by the villagers

At that time, in Yixing, there was a dragon in the water, and there was a white-fronted tiger in the mountain...... And they often go to the village to invade the people, and the people are dead and wounded. But it's even more powerful around the periphery. As a result, the people in the village called Zhou, Jiaolong, and White-fronted Tiger the "three evils".

One day, Zhou was at home and went out to wander around the street. When everyone saw him, they all flashed to the side. But there was an old man sitting on a tree stump with a sad face. The surroundings were very strange, so he went to inquire about the old man. When the old man saw that it was around, he was even more sad. Zhou was also strange, and he asked, "What are you doing?" I'm not in a good mood. This year, our village has a bumper grain harvest, everyone is not short of money, and everyone has enough food and clothing, why are you still not happy? The old man replied, "Don't you know the dragon and the tiger?" If they don't get rid of them for a day, our mood won't be better! It was the first time that Zhou Chu had heard of such a thing, and he angrily slammed his palm on the table and said angrily, "There are such things! Look at me getting rid of them! With that, he turned and ran to the mountains...... The old man sat blankly on the stump and looked at the table. "Bang", the table cracked, and the old man was so frightened that he immediately ran to the side, but he was proud!

Summer cicadas chirp, leaves like sculptures, it is now noon, the day has risen, the weather is so hot that people can't breathe. Everywhere came to the woods, one hand on his forehead, the other tightly gripping his sword. His clothes were soaking wet. He thought to himself in frustration: "I knew that I wouldn't have made a promise so easily, and I can't retreat or advance now, and it makes me so hot, it's really ......" He walked straight to a green shade, sat down, cursed the ghost weather, and then lay down on the stone again, drowsy...... "whoa", suddenly from the depths of the woods came a tiger roar, and the surroundings were startled, and he stood up suddenly, and there was no sleepiness at all. He looked around, the sun was still shining in the sky, and the woods were still quiet. "Maybe I'm too nervous, fantasizing." So I wanted to lie down again. A tiger roar got closer and closer, and Zhou immediately stood up, the sword in his hand tightened. Suddenly, a white-fronted tiger burst out of the woods, his appearance was extremely fierce, but it seemed to be even more ferocious around him. The tiger opened its bloody mouth and demonstrated everywhere. "That's it!" Zhou thought indignantly. Zhou Shi roared, carried a knife, and rushed towards the tiger. Seeing that the situation was not good, the tiger pounced forward, and hurriedly flew up and jumped up, but the tiger did not succeed. It was so angry that it cut its tail and dodged around, but the tiger did not succeed. Zhou Shi couldn't wait, he took the knife, threw himself at the tiger, and stabbed the tiger with the knife, hitting him in the back, the tiger was in pain, and took a few steps back. Zhou thought to himself: "We must kill them all!" Leave no trouble! So he yelled, "Where are you going!?" Zhou followed up with another stab, which stabbed him right in the throat, and the tiger whimpered for his life. Zhou was triumphant and said, "The tiger is nothing more than this, and I have eliminated one of the two evils!" ”

After a short rest, he held the bloodstained sword and walked towards the water where the dragon was.

When I got there, it was already early the next morning. Coming to the seashore, he saw a behemoth resting in the water. Quietly approaching the dragon...... Suddenly, he jumped onto the dragon's back, took his sword, and stabbed the dragon in the back, and a stream of black blood gushed out. The dragon thundered and was furious, stirring up a thousand huge waves, and the surrounding area was swept into the water by this huge wave. Holding his breath everywhere, he thought: "This water is the habitat of this animal, and it must know the water, so it is better for me to lead it ashore, and then it will be difficult to fly with wings!" Seeing that it was still angry, he climbed on it and stabbed it, and the dragon was in pain, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Zhou, and he went crazy again. Its eyes widened with rage, and it opened its mouthful, trying to eat all around. Swim around behind it and try to lure it ashore. But this dragon is a wise thing, and if it doesn't eat this, it frantically attacks around. Zhou Chu knew that this method would not work, so he jumped on the dragon, climbed on its head, picked up his iron fist, and smashed it at the dragon's head and face. The dragon couldn't see the surroundings, only knew that there was someone on his head, so he went to the water. Zhou knew that it wanted to drown itself, so he grabbed the horn of the dragon and pulled it up, and the dragon felt pain and had to respond.

The top of the Jiaolong dragon was already bleeding, and seeing that it could not parry, it swam to the distant waters and began to escape, and the surrounding area chased it persistently behind...... As the sun set in the distant mountains, it was almost dusk, and Zhou thought to himself, "If we don't solve this scourge, we will be in trouble at night." Zhou Shi immediately moved forward from the path, and finally caught up with it. There was a roar around and the knife was thrown, and the dragon wanted to dodge, but he forgot the direction and swam in the direction where the knife flew from. As a result, the sword hit him in the abdomen, and Jiaolong was killed instantly. "It's a problem to finally solve this scourge." Zhou was overjoyed, and hurriedly put the dragon on his back and swam to the shore. Unexpectedly, his physical strength was exhausted, and he fainted everywhere......

After three days and three nights, in the early morning of the fourth day, the village was full of lanterns. The villagers beat gongs and drums and celebrated each other. What to celebrate? Of course, the "three evils" are all dead, isn't that an exciting thing?

As they celebrated, a familiar voice came, "What are you celebrating?" Tell me about it! "Everyone looks back, it's around! I didn't expect him to come back alive! There is still a dragon on his back! This took people by surprise. At this point, a little kid stood up and said, "We're all celebrating that you're dead!" The adults immediately pulled the child to the back.

What? The news thundered and made Zhou feel completely devastated. Why? Why? I worked so hard, even risking my life, to kill the tiger and kill the dragon, but you ...... Zhou wanted to cry without tears at this time, but he also believed that he would not cry. Standing there and not moving, everyone hurried back to their homes, locking the doors and windows tightly. I stood around for a long time, thinking about ...... Suddenly, he fell off the dragon, seemed to have made a big decision, and hurried home.

Early the next morning, Zhou changed into a neat suit, carried his most cherished double knives, and walked slowly to the village gate. He was going to visit Lu Ji and Lu Yun. Last night, he tossed and turned, thought all night, and couldn't sleep all night. He figured it out, he understood, he knew why the villagers hated him because his virtue was not high.

He was gone, quietly gone. No one knew, and no one saw him off. A trip without a farewell is necessarily pathetic. Perhaps, he will never return to this little village that he hates and remembers him, and this may be the last time he sees it. He looked at the village that had not yet woken up, and remembered his childhood again; I thought of my home again; I thought of my father again...... In short, there are still many places in this village that he remembers, as well as his mother and his home.

He went away without looking back, for the sake of a bright future!

He heard that "Erlu" was in Wudi, so he entered Wudi to visit them. But Lu Ji was not there, and he happened to see Lu Yun. Zhou Chu thought to himself: "Anyway, they are all masters, and no one is fine." He introduced himself to Lu Yun and sighed: "Alas! When I knew that I was the scourge of the village, I realized that I had committed a serious crime, but now that I had lost my years, I had no time to mend my ways! Lu Yun said to him with a smile: "If you can think of this, it means that you can still change it." It mainly depends on your lack of perseverance and determination to change. People are not afraid that their good reputation will not be revealed, but they are afraid that their ambitions will not be established! If you keep trying, you'll get something out. Lu Yun was still smiling. Zhou Zhi knelt down, bowed to Lu Yun a few times, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, I will definitely work hard to make amends!" Lu Yun was still smiling like that. Zhou immediately left Lu Yun and went to find a place to settle down......

Since that visit to the master Lu Yun, he is now like a different person, the original fierce and strong, willful personality is gone, replaced by humility, inquisitive, calm and soft. He gets up every day when the rooster crows to read and practice swords. Sometimes I even forget to eat and sleep. After reading and practicing in the morning, he still felt that it was not enough, so he continued to read in the evening. He studied hard late at night every day, holding the military book for several hours, and his realm has already achieved what the ancients said, "the hand does not release the scroll", "the head hangs the beam, and the cone pierces the stock". Sometimes even he didn't know what he was working so hard for, but soon, he figured it out again: "I did this to get ahead and serve the motherland one day!" "He'll always think that way after that......
