Seeing that Lu Xiaohua became speechless again, Xu Shaofeng felt a tingling pain in his heart, and the green tendons of the hand holding the hilt of the sword burst out. Either way, get her out as soon as possible!

As dawn approached and the rain had stopped, he took one last look at Lu Xiaohua, who was cowering in the corner, and resolutely jumped off the top of the temple.

"Who's there!" Sun Mulei asked from the side carriage of the temple.

Xu Shaofeng secretly said badly, he was anxious just now, and his movements when he jumped down were too big. He saw a long branch at his feet, so he reached out and picked it up and threw it on the roof of the temple.

"Come down for me!" Sun Mulei could understand this time that there was indeed movement on the top of the temple! He grabbed his weapon and climbed to the top of the temple with his hands and feet.

Xu Shaofeng took this opportunity to roll on the spot and quietly escape from the woods.

Sun Mulei held a double hammer in his hand, standing on the top of the temple, looking around, but there was no trace of him.

He was about to jump, but he didn't expect that the other person was heavy and not good at light work, and the already crumbling small temple couldn't withstand his huge movements, and it collapsed.

After a burst of smoke and dust, everyone in the temple stood up from the broken bricks and tiles.

Shang Tianhua frowned and asked him, "What's the matter?"

Sun Mulei scratched his head, "There was movement on the top of the temple just now, so I climbed up to take a look, but it seemed that the wind just blew off the branches." This dilapidated temple is not very sturdy either. ”

"It can't be this. Ma Chengji kicked the branch on the ground and complained: "Old Lei, can you not always be so surprised." ”

"That's right, you haven't been solid this night!" Jiang Tao said as he patted the dust on his body, this time he was standing with Ma Chengji.

The others wanted to say more, but Shang Tianhua raised his hand to stop, "Needless to say, it's important to hurry." With that, he walked straight to the carriage.

Everyone had to pack up, get on their horses, and continue on their way.

Shang Tianhua still closed his eyes and practiced as soon as he entered the carriage. It's just that since Liu Gui's incident, he hasn't tied up Lu Xiaohua anymore.

Lu Xiaohua glanced at him secretly and said softly, "Thank you for saving me in the temple just now." When the temple fell, it was this person who pulled her and blocked the falling tiles and wooden beams. Although this person is a vicious person, he should still be thanked for his kindness.

"Not necessarily. Shang Tianhua said lightly, "If you join my sect, you are my subordinate, and I should save you." He glanced at her intently, and his heart moved slightly: this woman was acting strangely. rescued her from the knife, she didn't say thank you, blocked a few bricks for her, and solemnly thanked her.

Lu Xiaohua remembered his performance in the mountain protection array, and his heart was also moved: although the person in front of him was cold and murderous, he always protected his subordinates. This person will do his best to protect the people around him, and it may not be as bad as he thinks.

Lu Xiaohua was startled by the sudden flash of thought, and hurriedly denied it: He killed so many people, of course he was a bad person! But her fear of him was finally eliminated a little.

She looked up at him and said sincerely, "I should thank you anyway." ”

"I said I didn't have to. Shang Tianhua waved his hand impatiently and asked, "Have you already decided to join my sect?"

Lu Xiaohua was silent, thinking in her heart: I should make it clear to him that he had arrested the wrong person.

She made up her mind and said honestly: "Actually, I'm just a common person who doesn't know martial arts, and people like me are not worth your recruitment at all." ”

When Shang Tianhua heard this, he smiled lightly, "Senior Sister Mo, you don't have to be humble. Although you don't know martial arts, your ability to set up formations is more useful than martial arts, and the only way to kill people is martial arts. ”

"I'm not the kind of person you think, I don't want to kill people at all. Lu Xiaohua continued to work hard to explain, even the real Mo Xiaoyu would not set up a formation.

Shang Tianhua's thin lips were slightly hooked, and he sneered: "If you don't want to kill people, no one will come to kill you?" It seems that you have never been out of the mountain gate, and you are so ignorant of the world. With your ability, if you don't enter the rivers and lakes, it's just that. As soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, it will inevitably cause various forces to compete. You'd better choose the Lord as soon as possible, or you'll not even know how you're going to die. ”

Lu Xiaohua was shocked when she heard this, and secretly hesitated whether to tell him the truth, she was actually not Mo Xiaoyu.

Shang Tianhua saw her hesitation, thinking that she was moved, and continued to persuade: "Last time you competed with me in the sword technique, you also promised to stay by my side if you lost." I have observed for a few days, and you and my subordinates are very compatible, and these are all fate, so I invited you to join the sect. Since you promised me, you should keep it. ”

"I don't want this kind of fate!" Lu Xiaohua blurted out, "I didn't keep my promises. Last time, you won by trickery, and it doesn't count at all. You've killed so many people, so I don't want to be with you!"

Seeing Shang Tianhua's eyes suddenly cold, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart. Oops, you accidentally said what was in your heart!, she quickly lowered her head.

Shang Tianhua snorted coldly and said, "I don't think you have figured out the situation. Now it's not that I'm asking you to join the church, but that you can only save your life if you join the church. Everything in this world is determined by force, whether it is force or power, as long as the power is greater than the other party, the opponent is convenient for you to slaughter. If there is no one to protect you, you will be killed in a few days. ”

Lu Xiaohua didn't want to speak, but when she heard what he said, she couldn't help but bump up, "You mean, people who don't have power and don't know martial arts are born to be bullied, so they have to accept their fate calmly?!"

Shang Tianhua said indifferently: "The way of heaven is like this, just like a cat catching a mouse, and a fish eating shrimp. ”

Lu Xiaohua said angrily: "If it's really like you say, even if you are a cat or a fish, there are bigger and more powerful animals that will eat you!"

Shang Tianhua's eyes suddenly cooled, "The world is a contest, and it is the way of heaven to eat the strong. There is only one way for the weak to win over the powerful, and that is to become stronger and more ruthless than them. ”

This person doesn't make sense at all!" Lu Xiaohua thought angrily, bowing her head and saying nothing.

Looking at her angry face, Shang Tianhua's eyes crossed with a touch of deep thought.

......

Nothing happened all the way. At night, passing through a small town. Shang Tianhua ordered everyone to rest here. Liu Haisuan arranged to stay at a hotel.

After the meal, Shang Tianhua said to Lu Xiaohua: "You come with me." With that, he got up and went back to his room.

Lu Xiaohua didn't dare to disobey, so she had to follow.

Liu Haisuan also followed, and said hesitantly: "Hall Master, are you okay? You haven't eaten much, and your face is not very good." ”

Shang Tianhua waved his hand impatiently, "I'm fine, you don't have to say much, do what you have to do." ”

After Liu Hai said this, Lu Xiaohua noticed that Shang Tianhua's face was indeed a little blue, and he had been coughing a little in the carriage just now. She secretly rejoiced in her heart that if this person was sick, maybe she would have a chance to escape.

Shang Tianhua led her into a guest room and closed the door casually. He raised his hand and invited Lu Xiaohua to sit down, while he sat opposite.

Lu Xiaohua sat on the chair nervously, not knowing what his intention was.

After being silent for a while, Shang Tianhua said thoughtfully: "You don't seem to agree with my point just now?"

Lu Xiaohua lowered her head and said nothing.

After a pause, Shang Tianhua said again: "You think I killed too much and am very dissatisfied?"

Lu Xiaohua closed her mouth tightly and made up her mind that she would never talk nonsense this time.

Shang Tianhua waited for a long time and didn't see her answer, sighed, and said, "You have never entered the WTO, no wonder you think so." That being the case, I will show you a fact. With that, he got up and walked up to her, took off his robe, threw it on the back of the chair, and slowly unbuttoned his undershirt.

Sensing his movements, Lu Xiaohua was surprised and secretly raised her eyes to look at him. Her eyes fell on his exposed chest, and she couldn't help but exclaim.

For a long time, Shang Tianhua has always given her the impression of being extremely fierce and strong, but his body is actually very thin, and it is not too much to describe him as skinny. The nearly transparent skin is covered with a layer of flesh, and the bones underneath can almost be seen. He had a terrible scar on his chest, so long that it ran from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, and it is conceivable that his life must have hung by a thread.

Seeing Lu Xiaohua's shock, a hint of self-deprecation flashed in Shang Tianhua's eyes, "As you can see, I can live, but I can only survive." Physical strength is not as good as ordinary people, long journeys need to take a carriage, practice for no less than three hours a day, and must eat lightly. Even so, every time it rains, the dampness and cold enter the lungs, and the cough will not stop. ”

Unexpectedly, this is the reason why he has been practicing in the carriage all the time. Lu Xiaohua was sympathetic and couldn't help asking, "Is it because of this terrible knife wound?"

Shang Tianhua nodded, and said lightly: "This knife was received when I was not yet one year old, centrifugal in two, cut the left lung, and injured the stomach and intestines. I should have died, but I didn't deserve to die. My father's old friend rushed to my rescue. In order to keep me alive, he invited An Xiaochen, the king of medicine, to treat me, and spent countless precious medicinal materials. What's more, he did not hesitate to spend his true qi for many years to renew my life, which led to his untimely death. ”

"How could there be such a vicious person in this world who would attack a baby?" Lu Xiaohua asked in disbelief, "Who is the person who killed you?"

"Yes, how can there be such a vicious person in this world!" Shang Tianhua repeated, his eyes showing extreme hatred, "Not only did that man kill my father, but my mother also killed herself. My family had no grievances with his family, but the man's father shot my uncle for no reason. You say, should I take revenge on him?"

"The newspaper!" Lu Xiaohua said angrily: "Who is that vicious person?"

Shang Tianhua gritted his teeth and said word by word: "That vicious person is today, Li, Shi, and Min. ”

"What!" Lu Xiaohua was stunned on the spot.

Shang Tianhua stared at her and asked her: "You said that 'there are gods with three feet above your head', if there are really gods, why would such a person become the emperor?"

His gaze was as cold as a knife, and Lu Xiaohua didn't dare to look at him.

Shang Tianhua smiled sarcastically, closed his shirt, put on his robe, and put on a cold expression, "So I would rather believe that the world is a contest, and the law of the jungle is the way of heaven." ”

Lu Xiaohua lowered her head and was speechless.

Shang Tianhua took a few steps back and forth in the room, calming the anger in his chest. After a pause, he said, "When you see me killing people repeatedly, you think I'm fierce and terrifying, but do you know why I want to kill officials and rob darts?"

He paced a few steps and sighed softly, "This batch of dart silver was presented by Gao Chang Guojin to the emperor of the current dynasty. Since Gao Changguo was defeated by the Li army, it has long been sacked. Li Shimin also ordered him to pay tribute. Therefore, someone asked me to rob the dart and return the money to the people. Unexpectedly, the dart silver in the carriage was actually peeped by an ignorant child. It was indeed inappropriate for Sun Mulei to kill that child. But the matter has been done, and in order to prevent the bodyguard silver from being leaked, I have to order my subordinates to silence them. On one side is a small village of a few dozen people, and on the other side is a country of tens of thousands. You say, should I kill this man?"

Lu Xiaohua opened her mouth, but she couldn't answer.

Shang Tianhua walked up to her and said earnestly: "You asked me, 'Are people who have no power and don't know martial arts born to be bullied, and do they have to accept their fate calmly?' However, there are small and big chivalrous, the small ones kill thieves quickly, and the big ones serve the country and the people. If you have this heart, you might as well stay and help me. ”

He stared at her, his eyes full of sincerity, and there was no usual cold arrogance.

Lu Xiaohua was silent, her heart was in turmoil.

Oh my God, what they did was to kill officials and rebel! Why would they be so unlucky to be involved in such a thing as a common man who doesn't know anything, just a common man who doesn't know anything.

But if he doesn't agree to him, will he kill himself who knows the secret like he killed those villagers?
