Chapter 21: Death
Maybe it was because the green wolf gang couldn't take care of everyone in the chaos, and since the two were killed, Liu Lu and Hu Wei haven't met anyone who came to chase and kill again.
After escaping for more than half an hour, Liu Lu and Hu Wei had already left the realm of the Tiger Roaring Forest, and while the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, they still didn't dare to take it lightly, and continued to choose the deserted wilderness path to leave, thinking that the farther away from the Tiger Roaring Forest, the safer it would be.
It's just that within half an hour, Hu Wei couldn't hold it first.
"It shouldn't catch up, it's still quite hidden here, let's take a break." Hu Wei said with some difficulty.
Liu Lu's own injuries were not light, and coupled with the hurried escape along the way, his face was pale and his body was empty, but he could still endure and persevere.
After Liu Lu helped Hu Wei to sit down against the tree, he couldn't support it and collapsed on the ground.
Seeing that Hu Wei's face was pale, there was no blood at all, his breath was short, and his body was weak, Liu Lu suddenly sat up, very worried, "Master, how are you?" ”
Hu Wei shook his head, his breath too weak to speak.
Liu Lu was a little at a loss, Hu Wei was seriously injured, although the sword wounds on his body had been treated simply on the road, but because of his menstrual age and excessive blood loss, he should have immediately recuperated and recuperated his injuries and recuperated well, but he was chased and killed and forced to run all the way, and his body was so worn out that there were already some signs of running out of oil and lamps.
Although Hu Wei understands the principles of medicine, most of the medicines he carried with him fell in the car, and some of the emergency medicines he carried on his body also let the two of them use them up on the road.
Hu Wei really couldn't bear to see Liu Lu being too anxious, so he smiled reluctantly, "You don't have to worry too much, I just need to rest for a while, there will be no problem." ”
“…… Although we have escaped so far, we still need to be more careful. ”
"Master, don't say it, you can rest in peace, I will pay attention to my surroundings."
Hu Wei nodded effortlessly, then said nothing more, leaned back against the tree and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing this, Liu Lu also quieted down, endured the pain and tiredness, sat cross-legged on the ground, dual-minded, while paying attention to the surrounding situation, while exercising his strength and qi, gaining time to recover his strength.
Although he was not sure if the pursuit of the Green Wolf Gang would still appear, Liu Lu wanted to let Master Hu Wei rest at ease for a while as much as possible, so he never disturbed Hu Wei or reminded Hu Wei to hurry as soon as possible.
After most of the hour, Liu Lu, who was paying attention to Hu Wei's situation from time to time, suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face showed fear, and he approached Hu Wei in disbelief, only to find that Hu Wei was no longer breathing.
Liu Lu couldn't believe it, and shouted bitterly over and over again, "Master......"
It's a pity that no matter how Liu Lu called, the pale-faced Hu Wei always leaned against the tree with idle eyes and didn't wake up.
Liu Lu was a little unacceptable, and he couldn't help himself with grief!
Sadness, self-blame, loss, hatred, and all kinds of emotions made Liu Lu, who was already strong, faint unconsciously.
In the night, Liu Lu was suddenly awakened by a wolf howl.
Liu Lu, who sat up in shock, was in a trance for a while, but soon understood everything.
Looking at Hu Wei, who was still sitting motionless with his back against the tree and his eyes closed, Liu Lu's tears flowed involuntarily.
Liu Lu just cried silently, and didn't cry out sadly!
The moonlight of the Jade Dragon Mountain Range was exceptionally bright tonight, and the whole world was miserable and white, and the moonlight was boundless.
Liu Lu picked up Hu Wei and got up to leave, he didn't know where to go, where to go, just walked like that!
When the first rays of golden light fell in the early morning, Liu Lu was already on the top of a low mountain in an unknown part of the Jade Dragon Mountain Range.
Although the top of the mountain here is not on the peak of the main vein of the Jade Dragon Mountain Range, it is on the head of a branch vein dragon on the continuous Jade Dragon Mountain Range, the front of the mountain top has a wide field of vision, the peaks on both sides are stacked and green, and looking behind, it is the majestic and tall main peak of the Jade Dragon Mountain Range in the hidden clouds and mist in the distance.
"Master, you said that you have no home, you have been wandering all your life, and in the first half of your life, you have missed a lot in order to pursue the unattainable fairy road, and in the second half of your life, you have lost your years of self-cultivation. You said that the Iron Sword Gate is your place of return, not your place of return,...... You said that on the main peak of the Jade Dragon Mountain Range, there is an immortal cultivator, and I buried you here, ............ you said that accepting my apprentice is the only fortunate thing, and you don't hope that I will become famous and move the rivers and lakes when I learn swords, but I just hope to have a inheritance."
Sitting in front of the new grave, Liu Luxu chattered, as if he had a lot of words, but he was silent for a long time when he was talking, and he stayed so quietly alone!
——
A month later, Liu Lu returned to Tassel City.
In the past month, the injuries on his body have also healed, and although the remaining injuries are not all good, they do not affect his movement much, and his body is not much harmed.
On this day, Liu Lu arrived outside the tassel city, the attack before the Iron Sword Gate was not simple in any way, the situation was unknown, in a cautious and cautious manner, Liu Lu did not enter the city in such a grand manner, but made a little cover-up, but only wrapped the spirit snake sword in some rags, and then carried it behind him, and couldn't see what it was for a while, as for other changes, Liu Lu didn't make much effort, all the way down, the sun and rain, so that he was already a little dark face, and it became more dark and rough, Coupled with messy and scribbled hair and dirty and tattered clothes, the whole person looks miserable and depressed, and who will pay attention to him.
Entering Tassel City, people come and go, everything is still the same as before, and there is no change in the look.
Liu Lu hurried all the way, and he was in a hurry to return to the Iron Sword Gate without taking care of his injuries, but when he really arrived in Tassel City, he was not in a hurry to go straight to the Iron Sword Gate.
Because it's useless to be anxious, if there is really something wrong with the Iron Sword Gate, he is in a hurry to rush to the tiger's mouth, maybe he is just in a hurry to enter the tiger's mouth, but if the Iron Sword Gate is safe, then there is no need to worry, so Liu Lu simply found a small wine stall, asked for a bowl of not very strong sake to relieve the mouth that faded out of the bird's smell after a month, and then asked for some food, not only did he not slow to treat his own five internal organs temple.
As the only two great forces in the rivers and lakes of Tassel City, the Iron Sword Gate will also attract the attention of many people if it is a little troubled, and sure enough, not long after Liu Lu sat down, he heard the news about the Iron Sword Gate in the casual conversation of other drinkers.
Liu Lu glanced at the two people who were talking about the Iron Sword Gate, and saw that most of them were dressed as coolies in the city.
Soon, Liu Lu's eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and the hand on the side of the table was tightly clenched into a fist, and he heard the news he didn't want to hear, and the Iron Sword Gate had also undergone a big change.
From the small talk between the two people, Liu Lu learned that as early as a month ago, according to Liu Lu's guess, that time should have been the two days when they were attacked in the Tiger Roaring Forest, and the Iron Sword Gate suffered a very powerful attack, and the person who attacked the Iron Sword Gate did not hide his identity, that is, another big force in the rivers and lakes of Tassel City, which was on a par with the Iron Sword Gate, and the strength was almost the same.
The Iron Sword Gate and the Weihu Dart Bureau are mortal rivals, which is well known in Tassel City, the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but because of the equal strength, no one can help anyone, and they have tried to be restrained in the past, and their strength has basically shrunk in their respective spheres of influence, and they have not really torn their faces to fight to the death.
This time, it was the first time that the Weihu Dart Bureau openly and directly killed the Iron Sword Gate, and it was immense, with an unending appearance, which attracted the attention of many people in Tassel City.
Everyone thought that the Tiger Dart Bureau was crazy, and it would definitely make both sides lose out, but the result was beyond everyone's expectations, the Tiger Dart Game not only won, but also a big victory, the entire Iron Sword Gate can be said to have been destroyed, and the Iron Sword Gate in Tassel City suffered heavy casualties, and there were very few people who could escape, and few of them could leave Tassel City alive.
And in the news he heard, what made Liu Lu's heart even heavier was the death of Xiang Wentian, the master of the Iron Sword Gate.
Xiang Wentian was besieged and killed!
Liu Lu sighed in his heart, the Iron Sword Gate is over, and I am afraid that there will be no more Iron Sword Gate in this Dongwulin in the future.
The fall of the Iron Sword Gate was said by the two people to be quite mysterious, saying that someone in the Iron Sword Gate seduced the concubine of the county guard of Tassel City, and the county guard was furious, but it was not good to take action directly, so he secretly instructed the Weihu Dart Bureau to take action, and sent people from the government to secretly assist. The two of them said conclusively, the reason was why the people of the government did not intervene, made such a big fuss in the city, and killed so many people, why didn't the government care, the Weihu Dart Bureau and the Iron Sword Gate were evenly matched, why could the Weihu Dart Bureau destroy the entire Iron Sword Gate......
Liu Lu was noncommittal about the discussion between the two, and it was not a small crime to criticize the prefect, so the two also knew to lower their voices to avoid getting into trouble.
Liu Lu has his own thoughts about the changes in the Iron Sword Gate, the Weihu Dart Bureau and the Iron Sword Gate have always been suspicious, but in the final analysis, the great hatred and hatred that do not share the sky are not counted, as for why the Iron Sword Gate was destroyed, the real reason Liu Lu can't be sure, but it is nothing more than the interests driven by the long-standing grievances.
Wang Hu, the big shopkeeper of the Weihu Dart Bureau, as the person who developed the foundation of the Weihu Dart Bureau, naturally has no shortage of strength and courage, but it is just another Xiang Wentian, and he has not won the upper hand in the open and secret battle with the Iron Sword Gate for so many years, so it can be seen that he has not been able to plan to destroy the Iron Sword Gate.
In Liu Lu's mind, the real promoter of all this in the Tiger Dart Game was probably Wang Fengye.
In the past few years in the Iron Sword Gate, Liu Lu, as the opponent of the Tiger Dart Bureau, is naturally indispensable to match, of course, he is also the role of cheering and waving the flag on the side. Therefore, Liu Lu has also met Wang Fengye many times, and he is deeply impressed by him, his martial arts are not high, but his mind is quite smart, and in Liu Lu's position, he is insidious and cunning, and he is a character that Liu Lu does not dare to provoke and does not want to provoke.
At the moment when the Tiger Roaring Forest was attacked and the Iron Sword Gate was finally killed, Liu Lu vaguely saw Wang Fengye's figure, he didn't think it was just a coincidence, which was why Liu Lu was uneasy when he returned to Tassel City, and did not go straight to the Iron Sword Gate.
As for why the Iron Sword Gate, which the two were still arguing about, was destroyed so easily, and how many people were dispatched by the government, Liu Lu, as a victim of the experience, naturally knew that more than half of the strength of the Iron Sword Gate was spent on the business in Star City, and the emptiness of the sect was naturally not the opponent of the fully prepared Tiger Dart Bureau, as for why the government did not intervene, the reason was also very simple, in Liu Lu's opinion, it was the same as the reason why the Green Wolf Gang and the White Dragon Gang intervened in the Tiger Roaring Forest of the Jade Dragon Mountain Range, as for the specific reason, Liu Lu doesn't know, it's nothing more than the heavy profits of money and beauty!
The two people on the wine stall got up and left after drinking the two bowls of wine, and Liu Lu did not leave, the Iron Sword Gate has now been occupied by the Weihu Dart Bureau, and he is very self-aware and will not seek his own death, as for the future plans, he can only take one step at a time, even to avenge Master Hu Wei can not be in a hurry.
In order to hear more about the Iron Sword Gate, Liu Lu planned to stay at this wine stall for a while, so he began to slow down the pace of his meal, and asked for another bowl of sake, waiting to see if anyone else would bring more and more useful news.
