Chapter 11 What I Heard About the Jianghu
Faced with the old neighbor's reluctance and reluctance, especially the dog's red eyes, Lu Xiaoshi shouted, "I, Lu Xiaoshi, will come back, with a lot of money," and then left without looking back.
But when he passed by the pine forest outside the city, he stopped and looked silently into the depths of the pine forest. His fingers gently stroked the soft knife around his waist, and his eyes, as bright and clear as stars on the winter night, became a little hazy.
Lao Zhang was waiting quietly.
The two of them only lived in Qiongzhou City for more than a year, but Zhang Laoer, Liu Dahu and others were real people from Qiongzhou, so they naturally knew that the old Niutaoer also arrived in Qiongzhou more than ten years ago.
At that time, it happened to be shortly after the Six Kings Rebellion ended, and everyone thought that the old bullhead was a miserable person who fled.
Lu Xiaoshi himself also said that he and Lao NiuTou were both people who fell into the world and had to be close to each other.
Of course, Lao Zhang knew that this was just one of the reasons, and the other was that over the past year, Lu Xiaoshi and Lao Niu Touer had a de facto master-apprentice relationship.
It’s just this master... Lao Zhang was speechless.
He personally investigated that the old Niu Tou'er not only does not have the spirit that only those who are strong in the first level of God are of the first level, but also does not have the essence that practitioners who have just entered the Qi Transformation Realm should have. He is just an ordinary person who is looking for ordinary people.
An ordinary person wants to be Lu Xiaoshi's master... I dare not think about it!
But Lao Zhang knew even more that this seemingly heartless little guy in front of him actually values friendship at heart. He usually doesn’t have anything to do, but he does something and does not do anything but is not vague.
So he could only wait quietly, and he had already made plans. Even if Lu Xiaoshi had to delay the whole day in this pine forest, he would no longer object.
However, he did not waver at all about the decision to go to the capital.
In fact, it was not his decision to go to the capital, and he had no way or ability to change this decision, although he had hesitated after knowing this decision.
Hesitation means he can not implement this decision, it can only be said that he is not willing to do so. But last night when he heard Lu Xiaoshi kill three more people, he suddenly felt that the decision was correct.
For Lu Xiaoshi now, the capital may be the safest place.
Old Zhang waited with all his heart, but unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoshi only stood for a moment, whispered to Songlin, "I'm leaving" and really left.
Lao Zhang sighed secretly.
Gradually, Qiongzhou City became far away and became smaller and smaller.
It took more than ten days for the two of them to arrive outside Meishan City, 300 miles east of Qiongzhou. However, in front of Meishan Pass outside the city, Lu Xiaoshi gritted his teeth and said that he would no longer walk the official road, but had to walk the mountain road to the north.
The reason is that the guard who was holding the door of Meishan Pass was too pounding.
Lao Zhang smiled and agreed, thinking to himself that this little guy would always find various reasons to procrastinate whenever he had to deal with it. He had to follow it and let him procrastinate, otherwise he would definitely stare at any opportunity like a wolf staring at the prey, and then repent without hesitation.
"It's not me who said you."
The little guy didn't accept Lao Zhang's affection. He walked slowly up the mountain and blamed him: "It's only a few days, and the Chinese New Year is coming, so you have to hurry to rush. Now, I'm going to spend another New Year on the road. Maybe the Liu Dahu really made a fussy chicken, and it's all you blame."
Lao Zhang replied with a smile: "Blame me, but the time was very urgent before departure, but now it is said that the examination has been postponed, so naturally there is no hurry."
Lu Xiaoshi didn't ask Lao Zhang how he knew that the examination was postponed, because he knew that he would not tell the truth even after asking Lao Zhang. Just like in the past few years, he asked Lao Zhang how he knew so much about the court.
Fighting with others will bring endless fun.
Fighting with an old man is better than being timid.
"Just, how can I really blame you?"
Lu Xiaoshi quietly changed his tone of blame and sighed quietly: "Old Zhang, it's really not easy for you to raise me as a father and a mother for so many years."
But Lao Zhang had only a lot of experience in fighting. He listened to the little guy's tricks of being polite and filial and seducing, and decisively pretended not to hear it.
Lu Xiaoshi smiled and changed his move.
"Old Zhang, you and I have been together after coming out of Qiongzhou City. Where did you know that the audit examination has been postponed? Why didn't I know? If it were the case before, I would definitely ask, but now I won't ask."
Lao Zhang glanced at him and couldn't help but say, "Why?"
"It hurts harmony!"
Lu Xiaoshi said with sincerity, "If I asked, you would definitely not tell me, right? Since you don't tell me, there must be a reason for not telling me, and I have to understand you!"
Old Zhang laughed.
"But then again, I know you will understand me, after all, curiosity is an extremely tormenting thing. At that time, I tilted my nose and stared at me. Do you feel sorry for me, right?"
Old cracked mouth.
"So, I won't ask, so that it won't be easy for everyone to get along with. But if you tell me on your own initiative, then you'll have nothing to do and everyone will be happy, right?"
Old Zhang sighed and said, "Everyone has agreed to wait until the capital..."
"Stop!"
Regarding Lao Zhang's stubborn resistance, Lu Xiaoshi finally showed a fierce look and said annoyedly: "No need to say, I already know who you are!"
"Well, who am I?"
"Don't think I didn't notice it. Since the day I heard that the prince died, you have changed, completely changed."
"so?"
"so……"
Lu Xiaoshi stopped, stared at Lao Zhang, and whispered: "Actually you are the prince's biological father!"
Lao Zhang was shocked: "I dare not talk nonsense!"
Lu Xiaoshi laughed and asked, "Otherwise, why would you react so much? How did you know that the audit exam has been postponed?"
Lao Zhang answered the question irrelevantly and said with a smile: "Xiaoshi, Beijing is a good place. You will definitely not regret it if you go there."
"It seems you've been there."
"It's not just that? Hehe, I lived in the capital for nearly thirty years before you were born."
"So I was born in Beijing?"
"You will know when you go to the capital."
Old Zhang handled Lu Xiaoshi's routine with ease and walked leisurely. After walking a few steps, he realized that Lu Xiaoshi had not made any tricks again, and couldn't help but look back.
Lu Xiaoshi stared at the top of the mountain in a daze, with a rare trace of seriousness on his face.
Lao Zhang followed Lu Xiaoshi's eyes and confirmed that there was only snow on the top of the mountain, but there were some rocks and woods on the mountainside, but there was nothing new that was worthy of seriousness.
"Xiaoshi?"
"Old Zhang."
Lu Xiaoshi sighed in a deep breath, touched his chin and said, "It is said in the Jianghu that Linghu Yue broke the Tianshan Mountain with two shots, but I never believe it. You said that Tianshan Mountain is more majestic and steep than Daba Mountain. How can it be broken with two shots?"
Old Zhang laughed silently and said, "What's the point of breaking the Tianshan Mountain with two shots? Tie Xiuhong even cut off his clothes with one knife! That's a powerful person in the realm of seeing the Void, not something you can imagine. Besides, Linghu Yue broke the Tianshan Moyang Pass, rather than breaking through the entire Tianshan Mountain."
Lu Xiaoshi shook his head and said, "That's impossible. Just like the legendary Bu Qingyun's three swords kill the Feixian Pass, the propaganda is quite good, but it's impossible to be sure without seeing it with your own eyes. And Tie Xiuhong's incident is even more mysterious. How could it be possible to cut off the surging river? Haven't you ever heard of the water flowing even more when you draw a knife to cut off the water?"
Lao Zhang smiled and said, "Broken your clothes with one knife, break the Tianshan Mountain with two guns, and kill Feixian with three swords. These three things were just a dozen years ago. Someone must have seen them at that time. You can't say they are fake just because you didn't see them with your own eyes."
Lu Xiaoshi nodded, continued to walk slowly up the mountain, and asked, "Seeing the Void Realm is really so powerful?"
Old Zhang said with a smile: "If you are really curious, be more diligent in practicing the exercises. When you reach the realm of seeing the void, won't you know whether it is fake or real?"
"You can do it!"
Lu Xiaoshi said angrily: "The five realms of cultivation, from transforming qi to obliviousness, then to the first god, the bright god, and then to see the void. The eight great gods of the dynasty are just the first god realm, the great governor of Ran and Deputy Governor Min, who is so powerful, is just the Ming Shen Mirror, why should I reach the realm of seeing the void?"
"That's true. Whether you have seen or heard of it, there are only a few people in the realm of Vision, and it seems that they are indeed far away from you. However, you should be able to reach the realm of Ming Shen, and I'm optimistic about you."
"I explain the divine realm to a small character in the Qi Transformation Realm, and I am optimistic about me. Are you stupid? You are even more stupid than Xia Qi back then."
Lu Xiaoshi paused and sighed, "The south wind is rising, the north wind is strong, and the wind swept the sky and clouds chase the moon. Thinking about the four masters of the Mingshen Realm in the world, Xia Qi was firmly on the top spot, but now? Linghu Yue and Bu Qingyun both saw the truth, but he and Meng Lie died together. Oh, what's wrong?"
"It's loyal! Unfortunately, all the loyal ministers died early."
"That's right, Bu Qingyun, a traitor, was able to break the realm and see the emptiness. It's really unreasonable. Lao Zhang, don't you say that the practice of practicing is a custom, but once Jin is in the realm and see the emptiness, will you not be involved in worldly disputes?"
"It's not a matter of agreement, it's just a state of mind. Have you ever seen the eagle in the sky looking at the ant on the ground?"
"I understand. Although Bu Qingyun and Linghu Yue were in a state of emptiness, their mood was far worse. In the end, they were crazy, so they helped the Di Qiang people to deal with my dynasty?"
"That's not true. Linghu Yue broke the territory when she broke through Moyang Pass, and then she did not participate in the southern invasion of the Di Qiang people; Bu Qingyun killed Feixian Pass, which was just after she broke through the territory, and there was no news after she broke the territory."
"Nonsense! If Linghu Yue and Bu Qingyun had not helped the Di Qiang people, how could Tie Xiuhong have cut off his clothes with one knife? Or there was no such thing as cutting off his clothes with one knife at all, I could only choose one anyway."
"This... seems to be the same!"
"I'm sad for myself."
Lu Xiaoshi looked at Lao Zhang and said, "Most of the things I know about the world are heard by you, but do you believe what you say?"
"I believe it."
"I don't believe it anyway."
"Don't look at a mountain that is so high that it's ten thousand feet high."
Lao Zhang looked at Lu Xiaoshi and said with a smile: "I told you that these four people are also known to you. Do you believe it?"
"Ran Mo is the current governor of the dynasty, Min Gao is the deputy governor, Muer Yuanren is the Grand Marshal of the Northern Di Kingdom, and Guan Shanqi is the Grand Marshal of the Western Qiang Kingdom. Of course I believe it."
But before Lao Zhang could speak, Lu Xiaoshi immediately emphasized: "This is something everyone in the world knows, not what you told me."
"Okay, I didn't say this."
Old Zhang smiled and said again: "One green-clothed and one-off-home, join forces to laugh at the world. These are not known to everyone in the world, so do you believe it or not?"
Lu Xiaoshi glared at Lao Zhang and said hatefully: "I have never seen an old man like you."
Old Zhang laughed and said, "It's okay."
