In the lonely rain, the bookbox behind Li Ducicada has long been lost, and he is crawling and running fast.

But he suddenly fell to the ground again, looked at the figure blocking the road in front of him in horror, and then rolled his eyes up and got up from the ground, groping forward like a blind man, and whispering to himself: "Can't see me, can't see me......"

The lobby master squatted on a strange bluestone, supported his right cheek, squinted with interest and smiled: "Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful, if you dig down your pair of tricks again, you will act more similarly." ”

Li Ducian heard that there was a spirit, his face turned pale, but he didn't dare to pretend anymore, and hurriedly said: "Uncle spare his life, the kid has no intention of breaking in, and he didn't see anything." ”

The hall master looked at him covered in mud and gray face, and was even happier: "What's it called?" ”

Li Ducian hurriedly said: "Li Dui. ”

As he spoke, someone had already picked up the bookcase he had dropped and respectfully handed it to the lobby master.

The hall master flipped through it casually, and when he saw the crooked handwriting on it like a worm, he couldn't help but laugh "poof": "Just your dirty hand, the broken words of the naked eye, are you also delusional about gaining fame?" ”

Ignoring Li Ducian's embarrassment, the hall master stood up and coldly ordered his subordinates, "Take him." ”

……

Luoyang.

A private room is separated by a jade screen, and in the corner of the wall is a purple and gold beast furnace in the style of a golden toad spitting beads, and wisps of smoke overflow from the toad's mouth.

"Li Ducicada, twenty-three, ancestral home for Guanzhong, fled to Luoyang with the homeless people three years ago, first mixed in the market, worked as an innkeeper, a messenger to deliver letters, a horseman who drove a car, a butcher who killed pigs, and guarded Yizhuang...... He changed a total of 17 kinds of jobs before and after, started from scratch, and earned a fortune of 10,000 yuan in the second year...... It's a pity that it was encroached upon and there was no way to sue; After lingering in the Goolan tile shop, he left a few words, which were appreciated and famous, but he was helplessly deceived by the Qinglou woman and lost his remaining wealth; In desperation, he wrote a novel, but unexpectedly he was accused of satirizing the court and almost ended up in prison...... Hahahaha...... You're so unlucky, you're laughing at me. ”

The voice of the lobby master sounded from behind the screen, and he laughed, and his voice changed.

Li Ducian sat in front of the screen, a little frightened and restless.

It's really hard to become famous.

broke into this river and lake from a daze, even with his modern cognition, he went through a thousand difficulties, and if he was not careful, he didn't even know how to die.

In this river and lake, the sword light and sword shadow are still secondary, at least those can still be seen and detected by the naked eye; What really kills is those invisible means, if you can poison you, you will not be stabbed to death, and if you can put a knife behind your back, you will never rest on the surface; Maybe the person who was grinding with his ears and temples a moment ago, lingering and happy, turned his face and killed you.

What's more, he is still a person who doesn't know how to punch and kick and doesn't understand martial arts.

Skate on thin ice.

The hall master asked, "Do you know what the one who died in the temple is called?" ”

Li Ducian shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Hehe," the lobby master laughed, "if you had known beforehand, you wouldn't have been fated to speak, but now you know, it's just right." ”

Li Ducian hesitated for a while before asking, "Who is he?" ”

The hall master said, "You come on." ”

"Yes!"

In the corner, there were voices again.

But I saw a thin old man with gorgeous hair come out, dressed in brocade, with folds on his loose skin, and a smile.

It was the old beggar in the temple.

Not only did he not die, but he also changed to the way of life.

The old beggar said: "That person is nameless, he is a person from the Central Plains, he was captured by the Demon Sect since he was a child, and then he was trained to become a rampant killer, and he was good at making the Demon Sect "Seventy-two Road Soul Chasing Knife", and later named 'Knife Twelve', sneaking into the Central Plains, in order to plan the eastward expansion of the Demon Sect, and respond internally and externally. ”

Li Ducian took a deep breath, and he suddenly understood why the other party kept him alive.

He rubbed his hands a little crampedly, and said in a dumb voice: "I don't know martial arts." ”

"Though your words are unsightly, you will be on the list when you put them out; After the autumn season, there are still exams and palace exams, and the champion may be a little far away from you, but the flowers and the list are enough for you to choose. The words of the lobby master sounded from behind the screen, unhurried, but invisibly exuding a kind of high-ranking and powerful spirit, "You might as well open the window again and look out." ”

Li Ducian hesitated to get up in doubt, and then pushed the half-hidden flower window open, at this glance, his eyes suddenly widened, his pupils trembled, and he couldn't help but let out an "ah".

I saw that in the drizzle outside, the heads were neatly placed in the courtyard, there were men and women, old and young, all of them were dead and blind.

His mouth trembled: "These are ......"

"These are those who have sinned against you, those who have deceived you, and those who have framed you." Under the lamplight, the shadow of the hall master was reflected clearly on the screen, and he sat upright, like a god, "Moreover, if you live, I cannot keep them alive." ”

The voice of the hall master continued to sound slowly: "Martial arts can be practiced slowly, I have almost removed the ears and eyes of the Demon Sect, you don't have to worry about revealing your identity, I will not easily use you until the critical moment of life and death, you will be very safe, at least in the Central Plains Martial Arts, I'll be your biggest backer." ”

The old beggar laughed in a low voice: "Don't worry, in order to be cautious all these years, the orders of the Demon Sect have been passed on by me, except for me, others don't know who you are at all, and even few people in the Demon Sect know about the existence of Sword Twelve." ”

Li Ducian sat down on the chair with a butt slumped, cold sweat on his face, his lips biting blood, and said in a low voice: "I have never hated them. ”

The hall master said disapprenously: "It doesn't matter, hate it or not, they are all dead." What you should be thinking about now is not this, but to think about whether to be an example or a flower...... Li Tanhua...... Hahahaha, in the past, Li Xunhuan stood alone in the world, crowning the martial arts, but you were stained. ”

The old beggar said with a smile on the side: "You should be glad that you have a face exactly like him, a face, you can exchange it for wealth and wealth, compared to your life in a nest, it can be regarded as a step to the sky." ”

Li Ducian pressed the handrail tightly, her skinny ten fingers became bruised, her eyes struggled for a long time, and finally hissed: "Okay." ”

The hall master stood up when he heard this, but it was just a dazzling effort, and there was no figure behind the screen, only one sentence remained: "Smart." ”

The old beggar still stood in front of Li Ducian, extinguished the lamp on the table, turned around behind the screen, and said with a playful smile: "Come on, come and see the reward that the hall master has given you." ”

Li Ducian got up in despair, his legs were still weak, and he followed with a vague pace.

He planned to be mediocre and no longer struggle, but now he can't even live and die independently.

Only waiting to bypass the screen, Li Ducian saw that there was actually a vermilion wooden door behind it, which was carved and painted with phoenixes, and the craftsmanship was fine and very elegant.

Li Ducian followed behind the old beggar, passed through the wooden door, walked up a straight corridor, walked about a hundred steps, and the vision suddenly broadened, but under the rain atmosphere of silk, there was a water pavilion on the floor, and on the other side was a vast peaceful lake.

The two of them walked up to the platform, one after the other.

Before Li Ducian met, there were four doors of different colors.

First of all, a green door.

Inside the door was a huge wooden table, which was filled with delicacies and elixirs that ordinary people could never see, or even hear, in their lives; It simply includes food from all over the world, treasures from all over the world, and they are all hot, fragrant, and mouth-watering.

Then there was a red door.

Li Ducian only glanced at it, and suddenly his face turned red, his expression was sluggish, and he hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

But why?

It turned out that behind the door was a blue pool, which was full of pink petals, and several graceful figures dressed in tulle were playing in it; There are not only Han women with slender waists, but also orchid girls with red hair and blue eyes, passing the beautiful laughter of warblers and swallows; There are also people who stretch out their arms and hook their fingers at him, and the fragrant wind hits, so that people's bones are almost crispy.

And the third door is a yellow door.

The lights inside the door are bright, and under the fire, there are countless gold and silver pearls, antique calligraphy and paintings, and rare treasures, which are dazzling and fascinating.

As for the last door, it is a most ordinary wooden door.

Inside the door are countless classics, endless books and words.

There were so many that there was a smell of ink wafting through the air, mixed with a damp musty smell.

"This is a record of the rise and fall, rise and fall of the martial arts sect and the masters of the rivers and lakes who have been famous and surnamed in the past few years, as well as the black and white forces and the green forest masters; There are also many anecdotes and martial arts secrets. The old beggar pointed out everything in the house like a few treasures, and then lit the wind lamp in the corner, "If you want to be true with the fake, then you have to have no flaws, and you can't be in a hurry with martial arts, but for this 'rivers and lakes', you don't know everything about it, you have to know seven points." ”

Li Ducian stood in place, his cheeks suddenly reddened, and whispered with his eyes: "What about those gold, silver and jewelry, what about the orchids?" ”

The old beggar smiled meaningfully, and suddenly saw that Li Dui's ears were hot, and he felt uncomfortable.

Then I heard the old beggar say disdainfully: "Look at your nest, do you really think you can live happily without worrying about food and clothing?" Look there. ”

Li Ducian looked in the direction of his finger, only to see that there was still a corpse lying on the ground, it was Dao Twelve.

"Give you three days to do something, you have to find out all the swords and scars all over his body, and pay attention to the details of his facial contours, the depth of his eyebrows and eyes, and the location of his calluses on his hands, and it is best to understand him inside and out." The old beggar had already withdrawn, and did not forget to knock on him when he was about to leave, "Remember, there are only three days, and once three days have passed, if you have done nothing when I come, then you can go down and accompany him...... Or, there are food, drink, and women on it, and you can enjoy it for three days, and then die. ”

With that, the old beggar withdrew expressionlessly.

It's just that he didn't see it, just when he went out, Li Ducian's embarrassed dodgy, timid and cowering eyes had become deep and contemplative at some point, like two bottomless ancient wells, silently looking at the corpses on the ground.
