What can be done in a moment? In the face of danger, it can determine whether a bystander is a hero or a coward, a master duel, and it can change the outcome of the battle to determine life and death.

Lu Mian is a typical avenger, who secretly cultivates diligently until he has enough confidence and confirms that his martial arts are higher than that of the enemy.

He believed in his swordsmanship.

The flying knife stabbed Dapeng and broke through the 500 cavalry alone, all of which gave him more solid confidence.

However, he still lacked actual combat experience, and in fact, apart from countless sparring sessions, he had only participated in three face-to-face matches, the first opponent was Deng Yuanlei, which subdued a less loyal follower, and the second opponent was Liu Qingpu, which resulted in the qualification for the position of head of the house.

The third opponent is the Dragon King.

After a brief contact, he concluded that the Dragon King's sword skills were inferior to his own, and even if he heard that he had been poisoned, he believed that he could kill the Dragon King before the poison occurred, and then asked Han Fen for the antidote.

At the moment when the swords intersected, Lu Mian experienced the first life and death moment in his life: should he continue to make moves at the risk of dying together, or should he avoid it and then fight back?

This kind of experience is hard to come by, just like a person who has received heroic education from childhood to adulthood, and when he first enters the battlefield, he may still be as panicked as ordinary people, and even collapse with fear, and the decision to express is still unpredictable moments: the attitude of comrades-in-arms, the enemy's offensive, the potholes on the ground, the warmth and coldness of the weather...... Training is not without effect, the more prepared you are, the more likely you are to make the right choice, but it's just a chance, no matter what you do on the surface, you have to fight against a strong instinct inside.

Lu Mian defeated his instinct, vetoed the option of avoidance, and decided to continue to draw his sword, his sword was faster and more skillful, and he could retreat with his whole body after being stabbed.

With this experience, the power of Lu Mian's swordsmanship will reach a new level, and when he encounters a similar situation again, he will never hesitate at all, just like those recruits who showed panic in the first battle are likely to become heroic veterans in the second battle.

But he hesitated after all, and his opponent was the Dragon King, and he had already experienced many experiences that others could not find.

The ultimate goal of the entire Book of the Dead is to remove the hesitation of the imminent battle, and even to rise to the level of a doctrine.

Gu Shenwei once accepted the "teachings" with all his heart, but with the increase of experience, he saw more masters and learned more martial arts, but instead he had doubts about the "teachings".

Gu Shenwei understood something from the story of the murder testimony, and even Old Man Mu's refutation and contempt for this story inspired him a lot.

He stabbed it with a knife, no matter how unruly the extra few taels of weight were, neither like the first sneak attack when he retreated, nor like the second sneak attack when he just wanted to dodge.

It was this knife, even if the speed was a little slower than the other party, even if Lu Mian's sword had already pierced into his chest, he did not hesitate at all......

Lu Mian's heart was cold, and a cold aura rose from the depths of his abdomen, gradually engulfing his entire chest, and that feeling was like hearing that Liu Qingpu had taken away the position that should have belonged to him five years ago.

Old Man Mu's gaze was nervous.

Han Fen's expression was puzzled.

None of them could see who won and who lost.

"Is this the Dead Man's Sutra Sword Technique?" Lu Mian asked, his voice a little bitter.

"Yes. ”

"It's not like her. ”

"This is the unique feature of the Sutra of the Dead, everyone can have their own practice. ”

"I am not defeated by your sword. ”

"Well, your sword is faster than mine, and in terms of skill alone, you are stronger than me. ”

Lu Mian took a step back, and the tip of the sword left the enemy's chest, each bringing out a stream of blood.

"You didn't have a chance to stab me. Lu Mian was still not convinced.

"If I do it again, I believe so. ”

Lu Mian stepped back again, his body went limp, and he leaned against the wall, "There is no next time." ”

"Nope. Gu Shenwei said more certainly.

"You killed my brother Lu Xinghui. Lu Mian hadn't mentioned this matter in front of the Dragon King, but then he remembered it.

Strictly speaking, it was Chu Nanping who killed Lu Xing, but Gu Shenwei nodded, not bothering about the details.

"His swordsmanship hasn't been practiced yet, so I shouldn't let him come to the Dragon Court first. Lu Mian lowered his arm and took off his long sword, "The Locke family will avenge our brother." ”

"I know. ”

"Good. ”

Lu Mian sat down slowly.

Han Fen looked at it curiously, and Old Man Mu walked up and kicked him down, turned around and said calmly, "It's dead." ”

Gu Shenwei took out the golden medicine with one hand, and the old man immediately beckoned the dragon king to sit down, and then reported the wound for him, "Isn't the Dead Man Sutra killing with one blow? ”

"One blow kills one's own heart, not the enemy. ”

Old Man Mu nodded solemnly, "It makes sense, so that's the case, so don't think about life and death, just have the determination to kill with one blow, oh, isn't this what it means to kill yourself, the Dragon King still understands." ”

Gu Shenwei didn't know if he really understood, he still had many doubts, hoping to find the answer from that old book, he had already understood that it was indeed a book without Taoism, and it was a general outline.

"What did the Dragon King comprehend?" Han Fen asked from behind the statue, as if the two of them were secretly eating food from her.

"Your brain will never understand. The old man Mu blocked back with a word, and used the remaining golden medicine and cloth strips to bandage Han Fen's abdomen, and it took a lot of effort to avoid the wood carving.

Ever since he had seen the swordsmanship of the Dead Man's Sutra in the desert, the old man Mu had never forgotten it, and now he wanted to look forward to it even more, "So the Dead Man's Sutra is also a 'convenient method', the moves are all boats, the other side is life and death, and when the dragon king arrives on the other side, he can abandon the moves, and he doesn't even have to distinguish between a knife and a sword." ”

"It's pretty much the same, but what is on the other side, everyone's thoughts may be different. ”

"What about the Dragon King's thoughts?"

Gu Shenwei did not answer.

Old Man Mu smiled, "Hey, the good girl is about to become a Bodhisattva, is the Dragon King going to become a Buddha?"

Han Fen looked at the two of them blankly, didn't understand a word, just kept leaning the statue in his hand in front of the Dragon King, "Look, look......"

"Let's go to the room in Xiaoyue Hall. Gu Shenwei got up and said.

Han Fen jumped up excitedly, pulled the wound, and ran in front with grinning teeth, "I'll lead the way." ”

Gu Shenwei looked at the two corpses on the ground, pointed to Lu Mian and said, "Take him." ”

"What?"

"It worked. ”

Old Man Mu pursed his lips and suddenly came to his senses, "Does the Dragon King want me to take the corpse with you?"

"Yes. ”

"I—I'm a loss of power. ”

Gu Shenwei took out the antidote prepared by Doctor Sun, "The effect is relatively slow, so I am a little patient." ”

The old man swallowed it immediately, dragged his legs and dragged the corpse with a sad face, and after a while he became happy again, and followed the dragon king to ask questions, most of which were related to the Dead Man's Scripture.

Gu Shenwei replied a few words, and finally said, "I will never be able to hand over the Dead Man's Sutra to you." ”

"Understood, understood. Old Man Mu didn't have this kind of obsession, "It's okay to eat and smell it, in fact, if the Dragon King is willing to say more, maybe I can help more." ”

Old man Mu's attainments in martial arts are indeed extraordinary, much deeper than Gu Shenwei and the Lotus Girl, in other exercises, Gu Shenwei has received a lot of guidance, only the Dead Man's Scripture, his thoughts are the same as the Lotus Girl, he will never reveal the slightest, he can use his understanding to guide his subordinates, but will not inform the scriptures.

Turning a corner, Han Fen was waving at the two of them in front.

The room in Xiaoyuetang is not large, and there are not many things on display, most of them are bottles and cans, with notes on them, and their names and approximate uses are written.

Han Fen has always refused to let go of the statue, and she doesn't care about the blood oozing from the wound, sniffing from bottle to bottle, muttering "fake ......" by the way, she added some real medicine to herself, and many of her things were destroyed by Old Man Mu.

Gu Shenwei quickly lost interest, but Han Fen became more and more excited, and finally even dragged out the sarcophagus under the platform, "Empty, the imperial master will ...... Hey, there's something in there. ”

Han Fen stretched out his hand and took out a sword, hesitated for a while, and finally put the statue on the platform, and drew the sword out of its sheath with his free hand, "I recognize, this is the sword of the Imperial Master." ”

A broken sword.

Han Fen poured the other half out of the sheath as well, carefully examined the half-cut sword in his hand, "...... Zygomatic...... ...... What does this word say?"

Gu Shenwei didn't squeak, and the old man Mu leaned over and took a look, "Huan, I don't know this, doesn't Xiaoyuetang teach literacy?"

"Teach. Han Fen scratched her head embarrassedly, "I didn't study well." ”

Old Man Mu looked up at the Dragon King with deep meaning, he knew that the Dragon King's name was "Yang Huan", but he didn't remember that the sword was broken because of him in the first place.

"You should leave both the sword and the statue here. Gu Shenwei said.

"Why?" Han Fen held the sword in one hand and hugged the statue in the other, his eyes wide open, with a resolute expression.

"Because that's what the Imperial Master wants. ”

"Really?" Han Fen looked confused.

The old man said helpfully: "Of course, you think, the Lotus Girl even moved the gold, if you don't want to leave the statue and the broken sword, take it out early in the morning, right? You also said that the Lotus Girl doesn't like her subordinates to make their own decisions......

The latter sentence had an effect on Han Fen, she immediately sent the two severed swords back into the sheath, carefully placed them in the coffin, pushed them back into their original positions, and put the statue back again, for fear that the position was wrong, she adjusted it for a while, and finally took out the pill in her arms, "These can't be taken away either." Leave them one by one, but she remembers them clearly.

"The Qingcheng faction said that the head of the old Khan King is also here, where is it hidden?" The old man Mu still cares about the "treasure".

"Opposite. ”

The opposite room is a silver statue of the winged guard, with a vivid wooden statue and many personal belongings, and the innermost wall is inlaid with a transparent crystal through which the center of the mausoleum can be seen.

This is the privilege given by the old Khan king to the silver eagle.

In the center is like a huge tent, and the body of the old Khan is lying in a crystal coffin, although the image is not very clear, his body and head are obviously there.

"It turns out that Maureen is really lying. The old man was indignant, "Dragon King, smash the crystal, take out the head, and confront Merlin face to face. ”

"Nope. Gu Shenwei turned around, "I'm afraid someone will disagree." ”
