After listening to the story told by this old man, Du Chengfeng probably also had a deeper understanding of this so-called sword soldier.

It turns out that not all swords and soldiers will make people crazy, just like after Yang Sanlang sacrificed the knife with his body, this thick knife not only lost those crazy evil qi, but even had a certain calming effect - you must know that at that time, Du Chengfeng's side was almost completely out of his mind and turned into a beast-like monster, but after a knife in his hand, those madness and madness disappeared in an instant.

And this thick knife, which has been broken, is even more intact.

It has even become more powerful than it was before it broke.

Obviously, it is not impossible to repair the dead blade, but the repair conditions are extremely harsh - according to Du Chengfeng's understanding of that story, first of all, a person who has enough trust in him and is even willing to die for him needs to be killed, and then this person must have a strong belief and use the broken blade to kill himself.

"This ......"

Du Chengfeng began to scratch his head.

It's not that he doesn't know such a person, at least that carpenter Li, or the old man Yang Xuanyang, can actually be regarded as this kind of fateful friendship - but just for a knife, let them give away their lives, even if the two of them are willing, Du Chengfeng can't agree.

Is the knife more important? Or is a friend's life more important?

Du Chengfeng felt that it was more important to be a friend's life, after all, the knife thing, as long as you continue to live, you can always meet a new one, as for your friend...... Dead, that's really dead.

What's more, he also thought of other ideas.

"So, can we do this?"

After thinking for a while, Du Chengfeng gave his own plan.

"Why don't I go out on the street, find a random outlaw, give him a settling-in fee, and then let him wipe his neck with this broken horse......"

"You, you...... How can you be so careless about human life! ”

Hearing that Du Chengfeng's plan was so outrageous, the old man named Ruan Shantao was so angry that he slapped the table, and then pressed Du Chengfeng, who wanted to leave, down and told him a big reason.

Du Chengfeng originally wanted to run directly, but the old man's coercion at the moment was too huge.

Not only because of the problem of strength, but also because of the majestic momentum, Du Chengfeng once thought that he was back in his student days and was facing the angry head teacher - this scene is almost the same, just because what the old man said is indeed reasonable, Du Chengfeng knew that he was a little unreasonable, and he was speechless for a long time.

And Liu Bolun on the side had already begun to pretend to be dead, took out the wine gourd and poured wine on the thick knife, trying to make amends for the thick knife and communicate with it.

Du Chengfeng was left alone, facing the old man's mouth foaming.

"Besides, even if you spend money to buy your life, then the other party is dying for money, not for you, today he can sell his life for money, and tomorrow this blade will be sold for money."

After talking for a long time, the old man who said in his throat that he was dry simply snatched Liu Bolun's wine gourd and poured a sip.

"Benevolence, people's hearts, righteousness, and human paths, you kid doesn't know benevolence and righteousness, and acts recklessly, and I don't know why that warrior had to give up his life to you in the first place...... Forget it, it's not early, you go back, come to the mountains to listen to the lecture four times a month in the future, and the old man should take a good look at your temperament. ”

Speaking of which, the old man added.

"Don't think that you can't come because you have an official status. If you don't come to the lecture, the old man will come into the city and arrest you. ”

“……”

Du Chengfeng's face was delicate.

Doesn't that seem like a bad thing to him?

Anyway, he also wanted to seriously study the normal way of sharpening knives in this world, and he was still trying to find some reason to communicate, but this old man ordered him to come to the academy to study, but gave him an excuse to come and study.

And you don't have to pay tuition.

Bai took a place for further study, and he also knew the way to resurrect the long knife and the broken horse, and his trip to Ziyang Mountain could be regarded as a full return if rounded.

However, on the way down the mountain, Du Chengfeng still did not give up those partial methods. Some of the things he had known were churning in his mind, and he always felt that he might be able to come up with some better way—such as using deception, or bluffing, to make someone die for himself, would it be possible?

It was at this time that he met an acquaintance on the way down the mountain.

And is an acquaintance with a high value.

"Cui Yuan?"

Seeing that the crazy swordsman with the sword at his waist actually appeared in Ziyang Mountain, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but be stunned.

No wonder there was a price of ten catties of gold hanging outside, and they couldn't find where this kid was, so they hid in the mountains with each other.

"Sir!"

At this moment, this crazy swordsman Cui Yuan also saw Du Chengfeng.

Under the four eyes, Cui Yuan's eyes immediately ignited with fierce battle intent!

But contrary to Du Chengfeng's expectations, Cui Yuan did not draw his sword.

Instead, he arched his hand at Du Chengfeng as a sign of politeness.

"Sir, this way of not killing is really part of cultivation!"

“…… Yes? ”

Du Chengfeng was puzzled for a while.

He had almost forgotten what this was, why didn't he kill him?

However, after Cui Yuan talked about his recent experience, Du Chengfeng gradually remembered it.

Things have to start from when he asked Cui Yuan to clear the field, when he accidentally met Cui Yuan in a robber's den, and after defeating him, he did not kill him, but asked this Cui Yuan to find those rangers and swordsmen hiding in Jizhou, and drive them away from Jizhou - this is an arrangement to prevent Su Xiqing from foraging, and considering that these rangers and swordsmen are kind, he also asked Cui Yuan not to kill.

It's just that his casual remark has added a huge difficulty to Cui Yuan's actions.

With Cui Yuan's skills, if he wants to kill those rangers and swordsmen, he can still do it, not to mention that Cui Yuan has also mastered the use of evil qi, and the broken sword is a five-foot sword with a raised hand, and it is as easy as eating and drinking water to poke a few transparent holes in people's bodies - but if the premise is that he can't kill people, this five-foot sword will become a waste, and even his ruthless swordsmanship can't be used for most of it.

What's more, among those rangers and swordsmen, there are many brave people, whose level is similar to Cui Yuan, and some of them are even better.

This is even more difficult.

But it is precisely because of this that Cui Yuan believes in Du Chengfeng's words more and more.

"It's really part of the practice!"

At that moment, Cui Yuan already had an understanding.

With such great difficulty, something that is almost impossible to do, this is not considered cultivation, what else is cultivation?

So, Cui Yuan really took out a cultivation attitude to deal with this matter.

And now, Cui Yuan has achieved success in his cultivation.

"Thanks to Mr.'s order, the swordsmanship under the lower level has entered a new level."

As he spoke, Cui Yuan bowed in the direction of the mountain chief's house.

"It just so happens that Mr. Nguyen Yamanaka is also proficient in the way of non-killing, and calls it 'benevolence', so he will be following this Mr. Nguyen for the next period of time and practicing the way of benevolence."

"Ah, that's ......"

Du Chengfeng squeezed out a smile and smiled very reluctantly.

What is the way not to kill, how can he not know, to know that the reason why he was able to come all the way from Jibei to Yanzhou, to put it bluntly, was still killed-so how did Cui Yuan's brain grow? Do mentally ill people think widely?

But thinking of this, Du Chengfeng's bad eyes that had just been pressed down came out again.

"That...... You want to practice, right? ”

With that, Du Chengfeng took out his long knife of broken horses.

"Why don't you try to wipe yourself with this knife?"

“…… Is this really a practice? ”

Cui Yuan's brows furrowed.

"Sir, don't be deceived."

"Look, I've already dialed you a few times, will I Du Chengfeng lie to you?"

Du Chengfeng laughed.

"It's part of the practice."

"Sir, don't be joking."

Cui Yuan couldn't help but shake his head again and again.

"If that's part of the practice...... The ten catties of bounty hanging in Yanzhou City can't be regarded as part of cultivation, right? ”

"Ah, this."

Du Chengfeng was dumbfounded on the spot.

Oh no, the fool is not fooled this time.

But think about it, this Cui Yuan is just mentally ill, and he is not really mentally retarded, and even, just looking at Cui Yuan's talent in swordsmanship, it can even be said that he is a smart person - and from the other party's bounty, Du Chengfeng can also see that this Cui Yuan is hiding in the mountains, but it is not as simple as studying.

And listening to the complaining meaning between the words, this Cui Yuan may have already discovered that he is carrying the black pot in Jibei for Du Chengfeng.

"Excuse me, let's get back to it."

Du Chengfeng, who couldn't hold on his face, ran away with the horse.

But this is also a good thing, at least Cui Yuan seems to have achieved success in the mountains and is in a much normal state of mind - and since this Cui Yuan is no longer chasing him to compete in martial arts, there is no need for him to think of an idea to kill this mental illness.

"But this knife ...... Oh, yes. ”

Du Chengfeng, who remembered something, couldn't help but pat his head.

Yes, he had forgotten that he was now in the position of the chief of armament in Jizhou, and he was serving in Yanzhou, which meant that he was eligible to enter and exit the Yanzhou arsenal - so why did he care so much about a long knife made of a broken horse sword? Wouldn't it be better for him to go directly to get a real broken horse sword?

As for the question of the broken horse sword being an ordnance...... This is a small thing for him. It's a big deal that he will make up another quota for soldiers, anyway, with his combat strength, he can really go to the battlefield as a pioneer in battle.

It's already in the vanguard, and it's normal to have a broken horse sword in your hand, right?

"It's done!"

Riding a horse and whipping, Du Chengfeng rushed all the way back to Yanzhou City.

Compared with the exciting knife battle at night, Yanzhou City during the day seemed quite calm, there were no assassinations, no ambushes, only the cries of shops from all walks of life were endless-so there were no twists and turns along the way, and Du Chengfeng returned directly to the official office.

In the official office, the approval to allow Du Chengfeng to open the arsenal has already been prepared, after all, there was an accident in the arsenal before, and the whole of Yanzhou is also in a hurry. And Du Chengfeng's side was also resolute, and after taking the approval document, he went straight to the arsenal, which couldn't help but make a group of small officials shout that they were lucky, and they all called this Shangguan really reliable.

It's just that what these little officials don't know is that Du Chengfeng opened the arsenal this time, but just to choose a blade to take advantage of.
