CH.27 Yamasho Kendo Hall
When Cui Lu heard this, he was noncommittal, but seemed to be pondering, and lowered his head to carefully observe the corpse of the man in front of him. His limbs are short and thick, but looking at the tendons in his hands, they seem to be powerful. Cui Lu leaned down and groped his hands up and down the man's corpse, and sure enough, there was still a piece of straw paper hidden on his chest. The papyrus was folded squarely, with handwriting inside.
Cui Lu reached out and took out this piece of straw paper, shook it, and unfolded it, but was frightened by the many words in front of him.
Seeing this, Li Brown hurriedly came over to take a look, but saw Cui Lu vigilantly wrapping up the paper and stuffing it into his sleeve. But Rao was like this, Li Brown still saw the word "曷" at the end, he reached out and blew his nose, threw the mass of slugs on the wall, and frowned and thought deeply.
Cui Lu said: "You saw it?"
Li Brown shook his head and said, "You are too fast to read half a word." He was telling the truth, because he couldn't tell whether it was one or half of the words he saw.
Cui Lu stood up and said, "I have to hurry back, I'm afraid this person has been watching me for many, many days." "He's added a lot of precedence, so much that it's really going back a long time. It was as if he had been targeted from the beginning, but as his cultivation deepened, he didn't seem to feel such a shadow that had been the same for many years. I'm afraid, Cui Lu said in his heart, he is not a person, but many, many people, so many that standing in front of you, you can't remember or tell which year and day he spies on you.
Soon another reality confirmed Cui Lu's speculation, because this man's cultivation rank was very low, and with experience, Cui Lu set a paragraph for him: no more than three paragraphs. In other words, the tracking of such a low-level cultivator has never been discovered by himself from beginning to end, and there is only one reason: he has many comrades. Or one person watches for an hour, or one person watches for half an hour. If there are more people, it is not called surveillance, it is called meeting, then it is face-to-face. No matter how high you cultivate, you can't believe it, and you can't beware of a group of peeping spies.
Li Brown was puzzled and asked, "This is just one person, just now we obviously heard the footsteps of two people." The one who ran away seemed to be more troublesome than the one in front of him. ”
Cui Lu shook his head and said, "Maybe it's the opposite." ”
Li Brown was stunned and speechless for a while.
......
The two monarchs of the hundred skeletons fled north with Luo Sheng and the three of them, for fear that Cui Lu and the other four would chase after them on the way, and for fear that there would be more swordsmen of the dynasty to rob and kill, they just changed into civilian clothes and hurried away. Walking more than 100 miles away, the old ghost gave Dao Qi and Ying a color, and the three of them suddenly stopped.
Dongtang Duanmu said: "I know the careful thinking of the three of you, Xiao Shumi has long known that you have failed, so go back first." ”
The old ghost burst into tears, hid his face and cried: "I have a handful of old cheap bones, and I don't know if I can get a coffin when I die." I've got to go collect the bodies of my three sons!"
Xitang Dongye said angrily: "You rebelled against Liao and Liusong?"
Dao Qi and Ying sneered, and also stood behind the old ghost, and said in unison: "We are not Khitans, so naturally we will not be treated favorably by your country. Now that things have gone wrong, this is also a scene that you and I don't want to see, and we are also self-aware. It is impossible for the Liao State to go back, and when you go back, you can only sacrifice to Jianchi. We have to collect the body of the third brother, and the second gentleman of the east and west will go back!"
Xitang Dongye's beard slanted, and the thunderous and lightning-like air flow in his hand was already open, and he was coming towards Dao Qi's heart. The Seven Qi Knife has been forced out and is facing the palm. Shadow also raised the flames in his hand and bullied up, shooting at the back of Nishido Higashino.
The old ghost said to Duanmu: "Dongtangjun, my father and son are naturally not the opponents of your two monarchs, but they are not idle people. If you want to kill our father and son, it's also a fool's dream. We can't defeat the two monarchs, and the Cui guards and many royal swordsmen can beat the two of them. When the time comes, we will die young, and Erjun is afraid that he will stay here. ”
He stopped, observed Duanmu's expression, and found that Duanmu's right nose was beating, afraid that the Khitan people would eat soft or hard, and a fish would die and the net would be broken, so he said in a relaxed and flattering tone: "The second monarch is a profound cultivator, so naturally he doesn't need to be like our grandfather and his son." We really don't dare to go back to Liao, it's better to give us a different task, isn't that sword and sword spectrum still missing, it's better to send our grandfather to find it, find it and give it to Xiao Shumi, and make it worthwhile to give us an official position; ”
Higashino had already broken Dao Qi's qi knife with one palm, and instantly choked his neck with his hand, forcing him to breathe, and his nostrils were slightly open. The flames of the shadow flew behind Higashino, and were dispersed and extinguished by Higashino's true qi.
Luo Sheng and the three of them already knew the cultivation of the two skulls, and when they saw it today, they could be regarded as personally feeling the crushing of the rank, or the disparity in strength.
Of course, there is also the stunned green style of the Khitan people who would rather bend than bend.
Duanmu snapped his fingers and raised his face to whistle at Higashino. Higashinote let go, and Daoqi gasped for breath.
......
Cui Lu tidied up his clothes and said, "Little brother, today is the time to say goodbye." The sky is long and wide, white water and green mountains, and there will be a time later. ”
Li Brown said: "I wish my brother victory as he wishes." ”
Cui Lu turned around, shook his hand, turned back suddenly, and suddenly said: "You go south, go to Culai Mountain to find a pavilion owner named Shi Jie, nicknamed Mr. Culai." If you go to his gym to learn swords, you can be eligible to participate in the Imperial Martial Arts Exam. ”
Li Brown said: "But Wuju?"
Cui Lu nodded and continued: "It's a martial arts. This is one of the three branch dojos of our Sanzo Kendo Hall. Once you have entered here, as long as you win the annual competition, you will have the opportunity to participate in the triennial martial arts exam. The exam is divided into economic strategy theory and martial arts, I think, economic strategy should not be a problem for you, martial arts depends on your creation. Or, I can wait for you at the Imperial Sword Academy. ”
Li Brown nodded, he was worried that he had nowhere to go and couldn't see the way forward, this time it was tantamount to a fairy pointing the way, so he said deeply: "There will be a time to meet." ”
Cui Lu smiled, handed him a piece of cuttlefish jade pendant that he carried with him, and said, "Take this as a proof, whether you go to Culai Mountain or find me in the future." There are two more words that I have to tell you: according to my many years of practice experience, there are only two kinds of kendo, one is to practice more, and the other is to realize more. More practice is not more, but work, not to seek more time, but to seek more work. Enlightenment is in one's own heart, which varies from person to person. Didn't the son ever say, learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die. Although you are later in cultivating than others, it is not too late to grasp these two points. Little brother, I'm optimistic about you!" he said, shaking the saber in his hand.
Only then did Li Brown begin to observe his saber carefully, the scabbard was sandalwood, antique, and the sword was square and round in a trance, just like the sleek Cui in front of him.
Li Brown put away the jade pendant and put it in his arms. Cui Lu saw that Li Brown took his eyes back from his saber, and knew that his intention had been understood by Li Brown, so he turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said, "You don't have to worry about the corpse, now the government will accept it, and after the autopsy is clear, it will be buried on that hill together." After finishing his words, he disappeared straight into the alley.
Li Brown didn't say much, turned around and went south in the opposite direction.
