Early morning.

In a small room in the east courtyard of the Iron Sword Gate of Tassel City, the tables and chairs in it looked relatively old, but the whole room was clean and tidy, and what was more abrupt was some unburned incense in the clay plate on the table.

The quilts on the wooden beds in the room were neatly folded, and the straw mats on the beds were clean, and there were no messy clothes.

At this time, a thin young man was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the bed, closing his eyes and concentrating, his breath was long, and there was a special charm between exhaling and inhaling.

"Huh?"

The boy was amazed.

I felt the abnormal movement in my body, like a breeze blowing gently on my face.

The young man didn't open his eyes, as if he had an understanding, and then tried to guide the abnormal movement to wander through the meridians, but found that it was surprisingly smooth, and the abnormal movement was like a swimming dragon, guiding the downstream in his mind to walk in the body.

"Is this gas!"

The boy opened his eyes and was pleasantly surprised.

"This set of exercises taught to me by my uncle, I finally practiced to the second stage, and I felt qi."

The young man sitting cross-legged on the bed is Liu Lu, who has been in Zhaoming Kingdom for three years.

Three years ago, after the encounter on the border of Zhaoming Kingdom, Liu Lu, who had no relatives and no reason, and was at a loss and had no purpose, with the help of Hu Wei and others, came to Tassel City and entered the Iron Sword Gate, and became a disciple of the Iron Sword Gate.

At that time, Liu Lu was young and weak, and he was also a low-level person with no sense of existence in the Iron Sword Gate, so he could only do some miscellaneous things and eat with a mouthful of food.

The Iron Sword Gate is a sect of the rivers and lakes, and the people in the door are all martial arts practitioners who play swords and practice swords, all of them are heroic, Liu Lu is young, and after watching it for a long time, he is naturally envious, and he also wants to learn swords and martial arts. However, due to his physical condition, no one was willing to teach him, and Tiejianmen did not have the idea of cultivating him as a formal disciple, but Liu Lu did not give up, and used the little money he usually saved to buy medicine to regulate his body, and at the same time, he used the set of exercises taught to him by his uncle as a life-saving straw, and he never slackened for a day.

In the past three years, Liu Lu has eaten and drunk without worry, and secretly followed the rest of the Iron Sword Gate to exercise his physique, and he who was growing his body slowly made up for his once weak body and became a lot stronger.

Today's Liu Lu has grown a lot taller, although he looks thin and thin, but his complexion is not the same as three years ago.

When it was almost time for breakfast, Liu Lu stopped meditating on time, got up and pushed open the door of the house, he was still smiling and excited a moment ago, and when he closed the door and turned around, his face was already as usual, and his mind was calm.

In the past three years, because he is careful and conscientious, honest and diligent, and his foundation is even more innocent, Liu Lu has won a lot of trust from Tiejianmen, and now he is arranged to help count and take care of the goods in the warehouse of the West Courtyard.

As usual, after Liu Lu had breakfast, he came to the warehouse of the West Courtyard, "Senior Brother Zhang, morning." ”

"Here we are." Zhang Long is the senior brother who is responsible for managing all the things in the warehouse, he is in his thirties, he is a very ordinary man in height and appearance, and the only thing that is more surprising is that he has a pair of powerful fists and feet.

In the cool weather of the early morning, Zhang Long stood in the middle of the courtyard and boxed, and after glancing at Liu Lu, his hands and feet did not stop, and he ordered: "Senior Brother Xiang, they are coming back today, go and watch the No. 3 warehouse cleaned up." ”

Liu Lu nodded in response, "Yes." "While walking and watching Zhang Long boxing, his eyes are full of envy and longing, he will go to the West Courtyard very early every day, there is a great purpose to be able to see Zhang Long boxing, in the past leisure time, when there is nothing to do, Liu Lu is staring at Zhang Long boxing early in the morning, and can also follow Zhang Long to learn for a while, Zhang Long has not seriously taught Liu Lu, but one day he is in good spirits, and he will give a voice to point out one or two, so for such a long time, Liu Lu has only learned a shape, has not learned the complete essence of boxing, fist and foot kung fu has not been practiced, It strengthened his body and strengthened his physique.

There are more than 200 disciples under the Iron Sword Gate, and the main livelihood in the door is some shops in Tassel City, in addition, there is also a business that sells goods to and from other places, of course, as a Jianghu sect, there is no shortage of some martial arts masters in the door, so the Iron Sword Gate also takes on some potassium dart guards.

The person responsible for cleaning up the warehouse was not only Liu Lu alone, but also some other miscellaneous personnel similar to him, and in less than an hour, the No. 3 warehouse was cleared out.

"Oh no...... Senior Brother Zhang, the owner of the door has an urgent call, hurry up to the front yard. A disciple of the Iron Sword Sect suddenly rushed into the courtyard and shouted.

Zhang Long, who was half-squinting in the recliner, got up suddenly, "What happened?" ”

The person who came was a little anxious, "I don't know the specifics, I just heard that Senior Brother Xiang was ambushed on the way back, and the door master summoned someone to support, so I rushed over to inform you." ”

"Liu Lu, you stay here, and the others will come with me." After Zhang Long threw down a sentence, he led a few people to leave quickly.

This sudden change made Liu Lu also a little frightened, "It's okay in the morning, I said that I would be there soon, but I will be in trouble at this time, it is difficult for someone to dare to ambush the people of the Iron Sword Gate outside the Tassel City!" ”

Liu Lu, the master of the Iron Sword Gate, has not seen it many times, and Liu Lu doesn't know how high his martial arts are, but in his mind, it should be almost higher than the sky. Zhang Long's fist and foot kung fu Liu Lu has seen it a few times, of course, not when he compares with him, but when the disciples in the sect compete and compete, he is already a person with the highest strength in the Iron Sword Gate, and with them to make a move, Liu Lu naturally doesn't worry about anything.

Zhang Long said that he asked Liu Lu to guard the West Courtyard, that is, to leave someone to greet the people, in this Iron Sword Gate base camp, naturally there is no need for Liu Lu to shoulder any heavy responsibilities, so Liu Lu, who was a little idle for a while, began to play boxing in the courtyard, looking at the posture, it was the boxing method that Zhang Long played in the morning.

"Hah...... Hey ......"

……

In the afternoon, Zhang Long and the others came back and brought back a few truckloads of goods. "Senior Brother Zhang, how's it going?" Seeing that Zhang Long and the others looked as usual, and there were no injuries on their bodies, it didn't look like they had fought.

Zhang Long waved his hand, "It's okay, it's a false alarm." ”

Zhang Long didn't bother to explain to Liu Lu, but just ordered everyone to move the goods pulled back into the warehouse, and took this opportunity to learn about what happened from others. It turned out that when the team of the Iron Sword Gate came back, there was a dispute with the people of the Tiger Dart Bureau outside the city, and the people of the Iron Sword Gate were relatively small at that time, and the strength of the team was not as good as the Tiger Dart Bureau, so they were afraid of suffering a loss in the hands of the Tiger Dart Bureau, so they rushed to the door urgently, but the two sides did not fight, and Zhang Long and others who rushed to the scene in a vigorous manner only helped to transport the goods back.

Regardless of whether there are things stored in the warehouse, the warehouse in the west courtyard needs to be guarded at night, but Liu Lu is not among them, not because he has any special treatment, but because he is too weak, Zhang Long, who is in charge, does not worry about letting him guard it, so Liu Lu has leisure in the evening.

After dinner, Liu Lu originally planned to go back to the house, according to the old habits, he first had to study and practice calligraphy for an hour, meditate and practice for an hour, and practice sword splitting a thousand times.

It's just that today, as he passed by the front yard, he was stopped.

"Liu Lu."

Liu Lu turned his head, "Senior Brother Xiang." ”

It was Xiang Shang who stopped Liu Lu, three years of changes, Xiang Shang not only became tall and burly, but the tempering of going out all the year round made him have a fierce momentum, and now Xiang Shang's strength is in the Iron Sword Gate, not counting the high-level officials of the Iron Sword Gate who have been famous for many years, just count him at this level.

Compared with Xiang Shang, Liu Lu's growth is really not worth mentioning, the two stand together, whether it is in terms of body shape or momentum, it is like the comparison between a weak chicken and an eagle, as for the strength of the two, in Xiang Shang's words, that is, he can overturn ten like Liu Lu with only one hand.

Xiang Shang, who was a head taller than Liu Lu, put his hand on Liu Lu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's go, senior brother will take you to a good place tonight." ”

Since Liu Lu came to the Iron Sword Gate, Xiang Shang has accepted Liu Lu as a junior brother, and he is usually summoned, not very polite at all.

The owner of the Iron Sword Gate is Xiang Wentian, and Xiang Liqing, whom Liu Lu met on the way to Zhaoming Kingdom, is Xiang Wentian's brother and one of the deputy masters of the Iron Sword Gate, and Hu Wei, another person at that time, is the worship of the Iron Sword Gate. And Xiang Shang is Xiang Wentian's only son, that is, the young master of the Iron Sword Gate, plus his outstanding strength, so in the Iron Sword Gate, all the disciples basically call Xiang Shang a senior brother, and it is a team led by Xiang Shang who has a dispute with the Tiger Dart Bureau today.

Liu Lu was concerned about Xiang Shang's affairs during the day, "Senior Brother Xiang, are you okay with the Weihu Dart Bureau today?" ”

"It's okay, I just met a few cheap mouths." Xiang Shang obviously didn't want to say more, so Liu Lu consciously didn't ask any more.

The Iron Sword Gate is located in the east of Tassel City, and when you go out, you go around a wide alley and you will reach the street.

Liu Lu followed behind Xiang Shang, and the two of them wandered around very much. The tassel city at night is still very lively, with candle-lit streets and people coming and going.

Of course, the most lively place in Tassel City is the "Chunxiang Building" in the city.

Seeing Xiang Shang stop in front of Chunxiang Building, Liu Lu suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Senior brother, is this the good place you said?" ”

"Why, isn't this place good enough?" Xiang Shang smiled less seriously.

Liu Lu is now more than fifteen years old, so he naturally knows what the three-story pavilion in front of him is that is bright, noisy, and full of balsam.

"Senior brother, you're not going to go to the women's ticket, are you?" Liu Lu is a little incredible, Xiang Shang is a very righteous person in his eyes!

Xiang Shang glared at Liu Lu, "How do you speak, this is called Xunfang!" Do you know what Xunfang is? Remember, we're looking for a good guy. ”

Liu Lu rolled his eyes, and suddenly despised Xiang Shang.

Liu Lu thought to himself, he had to find a chance to slip away, but he couldn't follow Xiang Shang to compromise his wisdom in this life.

"Senior brother, I have to go back to literacy and sword practice, so I won't accompany you." Liu Lu slandered in his heart, this senior brother is too unreliable, from which eye can he see that he is a person who can come to this kind of place.

Xiang Shang grabbed Liu Lu, who was about to slip away, "What kind of practice, martial arts have not been practiced, but people are about to practice into wood." ”

"Let's go, today Senior Brother will take you to drink flower wine, and you will be chic."

"It's not good." Liu Lu was somewhat resistant.

"What's so bad! Don't you have any curiosity or ideas in it?"

But to be honest, being tempted by Xiang Shang like this, Liu Lu was really a little curious about the Chunxiang Building in front of him.

"This ......"

"What is this, you kid don't be serious."

In this way, Liu Lu pushed and half got down, and finally walked into Chunxiang Building with Xiang Shang.
