Jing Ke and Liji traveled to the southern suburbs of Handan, and Niushou Village was in sight. At this time, the sun is setting in the west, and the twilight is getting thicker. Along the way, the wild colors are vast, and there is a unique interest. But they were both silent.

Jing Ke thought darkly: I finally found Gai Nie, but I didn't have the opportunity to learn the sword from him. And Lu Goujian, who was about to meet him, would he be able to give him a sword and himself? His heart fluctuated and he was uneasy.

At the entrance of the village, the two asked a farmer who had returned from the field about Lu Goujian's residence. When the peasant heard that they were looking for Mr. Lu, he was very enthusiastic and insisted on leading the way. The group walked to a remote place at the other end of the village, and the farmer pointed to a thatched courtyard under a locust tree and said, "This is Mr. Lu's home. He stepped forward and was about to slam on the door, when Jing Ke suddenly frowned and stopped, "Wait! There seems to be a fight inside." 」

Before the words fell, I only heard a cold cry from the courtyard, and a few more ringing sounds, and then returned to silence. Jing Ke and Li Ji glanced at each other, each drew their blades, Jing Ke slapped open the courtyard door with one palm, and the two jumped in.

I saw three people in the small courtyard, one sitting and two standing, each holding a weapon to fight. Sitting on the ground was a middle-aged man in a green shirt, with a white face and short beard, an extraordinary bearing, a long sword in his hand trembling slightly, and a bloody stain on his chest, obviously seriously injured.

The two people who hit the middle-aged man in the courtyard were also very embarrassed, blood spilled from their chests and abdomen, and they were also not lightly injured, but they still held on, and it seemed that they had to put the middle-aged man to death before they would give up. When Jing Ke and the others broke in, the two sides had just finished a round of offense and defense and confronted each other.

The two big men had fierce eyes in their eyes, glaring at Jing Ke and Li Ji, and the big man in the east said in a deep voice, "What kind of person, get out!" The farmer who led the way looked at the door, saw the middle-aged man sitting on the ground injured, and said in a panic, "Mr. Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Jing Ke had already guessed that it was Lu Goujian who was injured and sitting in the middle, and the two big men, although they didn't know their identities, looked at the light in their eyes, they were fierce and compelling, and they were definitely not good people.

At this moment, Jing Ke saw that Lu Goujian was injured, and with a wave of his bronze sword, he attacked the big man in the east. The long sword trembled slightly, stabbing him in the lower abdomen, this sword seemed simple, but in fact, there were two changes hidden behind it. If the big man blocks head-on, the blade of the sword can be left or right, and he can be stabbed in both ribs.

Unexpectedly, the big man's eyes were wonderful, and his swordsmanship was even more clever. He sighed slightly, and the long sword in his hand drew an arc, and in an instant, it went from bottom to top, sealing all the changing lines of Jing Ke's long sword.

Jing Ke's moves are old, and there is no way to avoid them, so he gritted his teeth, and the long swords intersected hard.

With a loud sound of "dang", Jing Ke's mouth shook violently, he could barely hold the hilt of the sword, and his entire right arm was numb.

Jing Ke saw that Lu Gou trampled on the hands of these two people, and knew that they were first-class masters, but he didn't expect his martial arts to be so high, he couldn't help but be shocked and suspicious, and took two steps back, and confronted each other for a while.

"Who are you Gongsun Yu, and how did you make Gongsun Swordsmanship?" the big man's sharp gaze stared at the long sword in Jing Ke's hand and asked in a low voice.

Jing Ke heard someone mention Gongsun Yu, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Could it be that you recognize the family teacher?"

"It turns out that Gongsun Yu is your master...... the big man paused, and said coldly: "Hmph, the remnants of the net have slipped through the net, and I happened to make a break here today!"

"Ah, ...... you" Jing Ke was shocked when he heard this, but he met his master's enemy here, and was about to ridicule him, but he saw that on the other side of the courtyard, Liji had been in great danger.

Liji relied on her flexible body and barely avoided the edge, not wanting to step on a small pebble under her feet, and her body stumbled slightly. The big man in the west let out a long roar, and the big axe struck down with Wanjun thunder, and the momentum was unusual.

Seeing that Li Ji was about to splash her shirt with blood, Jing Ke screamed loudly, but she couldn't save her. Suddenly, under the moonlight, a white horse was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, hitting the left chest of the western man. Not only did he come first, but he also made clever moves, as if the big man himself had sent his chest up, forcing him to scream and volley back with a somersault.

Jing Ke looked back, and Lu Goujian, who was sitting on the ground, took out his sword in time to save Liji.

Liji was shocked, and Lu Goujian said in a deep voice, "You two come to me!"

Jing Ke stepped forward in response, and Li Ji guarded the left and right sides of Lu Goujian respectively, and the three of them temporarily formed a sword formation. The two big men were afraid of Lu Goujian, and seeing that Jing Ke's swordsmanship was not weak, they didn't dare to act rashly for a while, and the two sides reached a stalemate again.

At this time, the sound of a golden gong suddenly sounded in the distance, and the faces of the two big men suddenly changed when they heard it. Originally, during the Warring States Period, there were constant soldiers and frequent thefts, and most of the villages and towns were stationed in the villages and towns for self-protection, and they were usually engaged in farming, and when they heard the sound of the golden gong, they gathered to resist foreign enemies and protect their neighbors. At present, it must be the peasant who led the way to see that Lu Goujian was killed and injured, thinking that the robbers had entered the village, so Ming Jin asked for help.

The two big men glanced at each other, knowing that they couldn't take Lu Goujian for a while, and the township soldiers were approaching in a blink of an eye, so they had no intention of fighting, glared at Jing Ke and Liji fiercely, and rose into the air, like two big birds, into the vast night.

Jing Ke's heart was just about to be put down, when he suddenly heard the sound of "dangchang", he saw Lu Goujian's face like gold paper, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he passed out. Jing Ke was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, shouting repeatedly: "Mr. Lu!

Fortunately, the villagers arrived in time, and everyone carried Lu Goujian back to the house with all hands and feet, and there were doctors to treat and bandage his wounds, until Lu Goujian woke up, and everyone left.

There was a light like a bean in the grass house, Lu Goujian looked at Jing Ke and Li Ji, and asked in a low voice, "You are Gongsun Yu's disciples, why are you here?"

Jing Ke said softly, "Disciple Jing Ke, the family master Sun Yu died at the hands of the Qin King Eagle Dog. This time, Mr. Meng Gai pointed out and implored Mr. Lu to fulfill it. As he spoke, he took out the bamboo slip written by Gai Nie from his bosom and fell to his knees.

Lu Goujian took the book, and after reading it, he motioned for Jing Ke to get up, and said apologetically: "I thank you for saving each other, but I'm afraid that the matter of learning the sword will disappoint Brother Jing. 」

Jing Ke's heart suddenly became cold, and he said in a dumb voice, "Why?"

Lu Goujian smiled and said, "You look at me like this, it's still difficult to take care of myself, how can I teach people swordsmanship?" Jing Ke hurriedly said: "The disciple can serve Mr., and it will not be too late to talk about it after Mr. recovers." Lu Goujian shook his head, but did not answer.

The disappointment in Jing Ke's eyes became stronger and stronger. Lu Goujian suddenly said, "Do you know who those two people are just now?" Jing Ke shook his head and said, "Although I don't know who these two people are, but their eyes are fierce, and they must not be good people. 」

Lu Goujian smiled bitterly and said, "They are the first-class guards of the Qin State. 」

Jing Ke exclaimed, "Oh! No wonder we can't win together. 」

Lu Goujian nodded and said, "The four masters of wind, forest, fire, and mountain under the Qin throne, no matter which one they are, there are probably not many people in the world who can match them. 」

Jing Ke's expression changed drastically, and he said, "Could it be that they are two of the four masters of the Qin State known as the 'Wind Forest Volcano'?"

Lu Goujian said, "Not bad. These two are Black Wind and Thunderbolt. Why, you've heard of them?"

"Could it be that the person holding the sword is a thunderbolt?" Jing Ke asked resentfully.

"Yes, this person is Thunderbolt. Lu Goujian sighed.

Liji on the side was already in tears, and suddenly knelt down to Lu Goujian, crying: "Mr. Lu, the ancestor died in their hands, and I hope that Mr. will agree to Liji's reluctant request and teach his senior brother stunts to avenge this blood feud. 」

Looking at Jing Ke's stunned face, Liji was heartbroken for her grandfather's death, and she couldn't bear Jing Ke's disappointment. She decided to go against her will and pleaded with Lu Goujian on behalf of Jing Ke to learn from her teacher.

Heartache and unbearable, the latter seems to occupy more in Liji's heart. The grief caused by Grandpa's death has faded with time. Although she knew that the thunderbolt fire and the python whip forest were not dead, it made her heartache, but her revenge had never been strong, so she didn't feel that she had to let Jing Ke take the risk.

But Jing Ke's sullen and anxious expression all the way to this point was in her eyes. He couldn't watch Jing Ke continue to be depressed any longer, even if Jing Ke's art of becoming an assassin of Qin would cast a bleak shadow on their future, she couldn't care about it, she just hoped that Jing Ke would get her wish.

Jing Ke didn't understand this matter, but Lu Goujian understood it. Lu Goujian seems to be unkempt, but in fact, he is as careful as a hair, from the moment Jing Ke and Li Ji broke into the door, he saw everything from Li Ji's affectionate eyes looking at Jing Ke.

Lu Goujian put down the letter in his hand, motioned for Li Ji to get up, turned his head to Jing Ke and said, "King Qin is surrounded by masters like clouds, and even Mr. Gongsun has lost his life, so how can he help in martial arts in the lower districts. 」

Jing Ke was surprised, "These thieves, can't even Mr. Lu be subdued?"

Lu Goujian said "hey" and said, "If you talk about fighting alone, who loses and who wins, I'm afraid it's hard to say, but it's different with two to one. However, if it weren't for those two thieves who suddenly released hidden weapons to hurt me, why would I be so embarrassed!"

Jing Ke wondered, "Why did King Qin send guards to assassinate Mr.?"

Lu Goujian said, "He wants me to serve the Qin State. 」

"Come to think of it, Mr. Lu must be harsh, that's why they want to harm Mr.," Liji said as she stood up and wiped away her tears.

Lu Goujian nodded.

Jing Ke said indignantly: "That Ying Zheng is not insidious and shameless, and he can't take it for his own use, so he must harm him immediately. Lu Goujian snorted slightly, and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, which one is not like this?" Jing Ke was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say again: "Then why doesn't Mr. Lu refuse to accept me as an apprentice?"

Lu Goujian didn't answer directly, he glanced at Li Ji fixedly, and said, "I, Lu Goujian, am not the only one chess piece on Yingzheng's chessboard. 」

When Jing Ke heard this, he came to his senses, and clapped his hands and said, "Yes! Yingzheng must want to include all the people available in the world in his ranks, and those who refuse to obey would rather be killed than kept for the use of others." 」

Lu Goujian nodded and said, "That's right, so when my injuries are slightly better, I will go to some knights scattered in the world, so that they can prepare early and fight against Qiang Qin together." 」

Li Ji lowered her head and asked softly, "Mr. Lu, can you let us go with you?" Lu Goujian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There are some things that only I can do, and the reason for this cannot be explained to you now. 」

Jing Ke listened to Lu Goujian's words and couldn't help but be silent. He knew that his learning of the sword was really not worth mentioning compared to what Lu Goujian wanted to do, and he should not hesitate to make sacrifices morally, but he had no chance to be taught by famous teachers twice.

Seeing his extremely disappointed appearance, Lu Goujian couldn't bear it, so he said, "Actually, it's not that I can't learn a thing or two from Brother Jing. 」

A glimmer of hope rekindled in Jing Ke's heart, and he hurriedly said, "I would like to listen to Mr. Lu's teachings. 」

Lu Goujian said: "I send a swordsman to teach nature, and the most important thing is to pay attention to personal understanding, and the teacher's guidance is secondary. 」

Jing Ke said, "Then how should I cultivate?"

Lu Goujian said: "The Gongsun Sword Method you have learned is actually in line with the Taoist principles in many places. However, the soldiers attach importance to practicality, but they do not discuss the truth contained in it, so people often know it but do not know why. 」

Jing Ke slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, I practiced according to the sword spectrum, and there were many places that I couldn't understand, so I could only practice hard according to the score, and speculate by myself, probably going a fork in the road." 」

Lu Goujian said, "Is that sword book by your side now?"

Jing Ke hurriedly took out the plain silk from his arms and handed it to Lu Goujian.

Lu Goujian's expression suddenly became solemn when he saw it, and he sighed after a while: "The swordsmanship is all in it, as long as you comprehend half of it, you can run rampant in the world, so why borrow external forces?"

Lu Goujian had such a high opinion of this sword book, which made Jing Ke feel shocked, but he was a little incredulous, and hesitated: "Is this true, sir?"

Lu Goujian glanced at Jing Ke and said with a slight smile: "You have this sword spectrum, but it is difficult for your swordsmanship to improve by leaps and bounds, presumably because you haven't understood the true meaning yet. Or, taking advantage of the opportunity to recuperate from your injuries in the past two days, I will make some annotations on the sword book for you, so that you can learn the sword on your own in the future. 」

"Thank you, Mr. Lu!" Jing Ke thanked him with joy, but Liji bowed her head and remained silent.

Lu Goujian saw it in his eyes, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then wanted to stand up, Jing Ke hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said, "Mr. Lu, what's wrong?" Lu Goujian said: "We have to leave here now and find another hidden residence, otherwise the masters of the Qin State will be in trouble again." Those villagers are no match for them, and I am afraid that the lives of these kind villagers have been sacrificed in vain. 」

So the three of them packed their luggage a little, and Jing Ke carried Lu Goujian on his back, taking advantage of the dark clouds to cover the moon, and quietly left Niushou Village.

They spent the night in a lonely temple at the foot of the mountain, and when they entered the mountain after dawn, it was uninhabited, and they found a clean cave and stayed for the time being. Every day, Jing Ke and Liji went out to hunt and collect wild fruits, and Lu Goujian recuperated in the cave, meditated on the sword spectrum, and wrote notes.

Under the careful care of Jing Ke and Liji, after more than ten days, Lu Goujian's injuries have improved greatly and he can get up and walk around. On this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and Lu Goujian called Jing Ke and Li Ji and said, "My injuries are almost healed, and the sword book has been annotated, so let's leave it at that." Jing Ke was reluctant in his heart, and said, "Mr. Lu, let's stay for a few more days, and it's not too late to leave after the injury heals." 」

After being silent for a long time, Jing Ke sighed angrily: "I also know that it is difficult to assassinate Qin by oneself. However, how can the revenge of the teacher not be avenged, and how can the tyranny and abuse of others not be eliminated?"

"Stabbed Yingzheng, and came to Yingzheng again, have you thought about it?"

Lu Goujian asked sharply again, but Jing Ke resisted proudly: "If Jing can get lucky and stab Yingzheng, he will have his own benevolent and righteous people who will follow one after another, and then stab another Yingzheng. 」

Lu Goujian nodded, he knew that Jing Ke was determined, and he persuaded him not to move no matter what. However, when he turned his head to look at Liji's lost appearance, he couldn't help but ask: "What if Yingzheng is inexhaustible?"

"May the heavens have eyes, and the day of the reign of the Holy King. At that time, I was in charge of winning politics, and the royal road could be expected. Jing Ke replied gloomily, he also understood in his heart that most of the princes in the world were arrogant and extravagant, and he didn't know when the royal sage would be available.

Lu Goujian stroked his palms and laughed: "Well said! I hope there will be a day when the Holy King will rule. Brother Jing remembered his own words, if there was no benevolent person in power, he would not do anything useless to assassinate Qin. 」

Jing Ke was silent.

Lu Goujian turned around and nodded to Liji, meaning to say, "I have done my best, and the two of you can do it yourself. Then he said no more, arched his hand, and floated away.

Jing Ke was stunned for a long time, and after a long time, he followed what Lu Goujian said and went to Mount Tai with Liji.

Mount Tai, also known as Daizong, stands majestically in the ground, is tall and majestic, and is respected as the head of the five mountains. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the great Confucian Confucian Confucius of the Lu State once had the saying of "climbing the East Mountain and small Lu, climbing Mount Tai and the small world", which shows that the majesty of Mount Tai is magnificent.

After Jing Ke and Liji settled in Mount Tai, they stayed away from the war, and their lives were very leisurely.

Jing Ke climbed the east peak of Daiding every day to practice sword enlightenment. Here is the best place for Mount Tai to watch the sunrise, Jing Ke looks up to the world here, observes the trip of the sun and the moon, and sees the clouds rolling in the clouds. After a few months, although I have a slight understanding, there are still several large joints that have not been able to penetrate.

On this day, Liji went to the top of the peak to deliver food to Jing Ke, and saw Jing Ke sitting on a big rock, looking ahead in a daze. Liji said angrily, "Senior brother, what are you doing stupidly?"

Jing Ke's expression was heavy, and he sighed, "Liji, I'm afraid that I will fail Mr. Lu, maybe I'm not a piece of sword learning material at all. 」

Li Ji gently put down the food basket and said softly, "Mr. Gai and Mr. Lu, two great swordsmen, both say that you are an excellent candidate for sword learning, why are you still so unconfident?"

Jing Ke frowned and said, "It's not that I'm arrogant. Mr. Lu has taught me everything, but I have not improved an inch in swordsmanship, so what is it that I am not stupid?"

Liji pursed her lips and smiled, "How can peerless swordsmanship be learned so easily? She squatted down and took out the food from the basket, grinned and said, "Let's eat first, if you don't eat, how can you have the strength to practice the sword! Besides, I see that your martial arts are improving day by day!"

Jing Ke was relieved to hear his junior sister's encouragement, and he said in a deep voice, "Senior sister, I won't let you down. 」

Li Ji didn't answer, since listening to Jing Ke and Lu Goujian's answer, she knew that she couldn't shake Jing Ke's determination to assassinate Qin, so she had to bury her heart deeply. She only hopes that the current life with Jing Ke can be one more day. The future, it's not that she doesn't want to think about it, it's just that they still have a future?

Lu Goujian shook his head and said, "It's been a long delay, I'm afraid that those friends of mine will be in danger. 」

Li Ji was even more sad, these days, she had felt that Mr. Lu seemed to have a clear understanding of his hidden thoughts, and said, "Mr. Lu, I don't know when we will see each other today?"

Lu Goujian smiled, turned his head to Jing Ke and said, "If there is fate, why is it difficult to meet. It's just that it's okay to stay here temporarily, and it's inconvenient to stay for a long time, so you should leave early. 」

Jing Ke sighed: "The two of us are drifting away from the end of the world, homeless and unemployed, where can we go?"

Lu Goujian nodded, thought for a while, and said: "In the past, when I traveled to the Qi country, I passed through a big mountain, majestic and strange, and the people of the Qi country called Mount Tai, living in this mountain can observe the changes of the sound of heaven and earth, which is very beneficial to enlightenment and self-cultivation, you might as well go there to see it." 」

Jing Ke said gratefully: "Thank you Mr. Lu for your advice, Jing Ke will never forget. 」

Lu Goujian stared at Jing Ke and Li Ji for a long time, sighed and said, "Brother Jing, when I leave, I have a word to give. 」

"Sir's lesson, Jing Ke has nothing to follow. When Jing Ke heard this, he leaned down and bowed.

"You're serious, please get up. Lu Goujian helped Jing Ke and said, "The Mandate of Heaven is righteous, take its momentum, and now Qin is flourishing, although the world is not necessarily under the Ying Zheng, but it is an indisputable fact that the current situation is on the other, you are alone, how can you save the tide?"

Jing Ke didn't expect Lu Goujian's parting words to be like this, and he was speechless for a while.
