Wei Shu

Chapter 44 Ninth
For more than a year, the name of the red list has been changed several times from beginning to end, but Arrow Eleven is the only one that stays in place, standing still, which is indeed a miracle.

The young man was puzzled by this, but because of the vague and mysterious atmosphere in the village, he didn't dare to ask anyone, so his doubts piled up.

Scratching the back of his head, he secretly sensed the silence and no one else around. The young man quickly walked from the door to the corner, hiding himself in the dark, and at the same time put the note back into his arms.

He understood the meaning of the painting.

Arrow Eleven wanted him to leave Baishuang City.

He really should go, after all, Gouba is probably... no, definitely... definitely dead.

Out of ten out of ten, he died at the hands of Jian Shiyi.

If it is said that in the courtyard a few days ago, the young man had only guessed about this, then at this moment his guess has turned into affirmation.

She... was promoted to another rank.

Now she is Arrow Ten.

A hot current gushed out from the bottom of his heart suddenly, the young man only felt hot flashes in his hands, and his breathing became short of breath.

The young girl who was already beyond reach was even further away from him now, and when would he be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with her?
The sweaty hand subconsciously stroked back, the iron box was cold, the meteor ax seemed to be asleep, and the young man looked a little confused.

Two days ago, he ran to kill a few sheep by some strange circumstances.At that time, he just thought that he could use the breath of sheep's blood to cover the breath of human blood, so as to hide the fact that he had acted rashly.

But just a moment ago, he really realized that he didn't just want to hide the killing of Lao Tu, what he wanted to hide was... Gou Ba's death.

The boy didn't want others to know about it.

Even though he knew that he would be severely punished for deliberately deceiving, and he knew that the punishment would be extremely cruel, and he would lose his life for it, but the young man still couldn't help doing it.

He even dared to lie that Gou Ba was gathering medicine outside the city under the terrifying coercion of Shu Jiu.

"Why do I..."

The boy murmured softly again.

At that moment, his chest was hot, and the note hidden between his breasts seemed to turn into a flame, burning his eyes brightly.

He should go.

However, this walk means admitting defeat, and the loser is not others, but the pewter gun that he hates, hates and despises the most.

As long as he thinks of the other party's arrogant face, the young man will feel his chest constrict and his blood will rise.

He was not reconciled.

However, how can you not be reconciled?

Gou Ba is already dead, what should he do now to win this competition?
The moonlight streamed down silently, the young man shrank in the corner of the wall, and the Nuo tool on his face turned into circles of silver-blue halos, like a bird's screen trembling, just like his chaotic thoughts...

In the Hundred Flowers Courtyard, Wei Shu leaned on the window sill, looking at the crescent moon at the corner of the eaves, feeling calm.

Yue Bawu should have gotten the finger tiger.

Counting the time, he must be worrying about the painting at this time, hesitating whether to leave the city or stay.

At this moment, the scroll in the darkness was turning somewhere, and a memory of Akis was reflected:
Yue Bawu's trip is a kind of custom, Gou Ba is his temporary master, Wei Shu has known about this for a long time, and Shu Jiu, whom she met just now, presumably is the master of another junior.

These two pairs of master and apprentice did not come here at will, but need to compete according to certain rules.As for the method of the duel, the master does not need to make a move, only the disciples trained by the two compete to determine the outcome.

This seems to be a different kind of examination school.

Those with high martial arts skills should not only focus on themselves, but must have the ability to be a teacher and be able to train good disciples; while those with low martial arts skills must have excellent understanding and be able to understand the guidance of a temporary teacher , so that the martial arts improved, and finally defeated the opponent.

Before Lu met Shujiu, Wei Shu hadn't recalled this matter yet, but now that her memory came back, she felt that her painting might embarrass the young man.

However, Gou Ba is dead, and the young man has no master on this trip. If he doesn't leave, how can he defeat the opponent with the guidance of a famous teacher alone?
What's more, Shujiu...is difficult to deal with.

Wei Shu frowned, slightly troubled in her heart.

At noon today, when she knelt on the left side of the road, she felt Akis' fear for the first time.

Aqisi, who dared to fight bravely in the face of Gouba, was so frightened that she trembled the moment she noticed Shujiu's gaze.

This emotion will inevitably affect Wei Shu, and every time she thinks about Shujiu, there will be a tinge of horror in her heart.

Although she is still extremely resistant to the "past", the impression Shujiu left on Aqis must have been so deep that even if the original owner refused to recall it after death, Wei Shu could vaguely remember some of it.

During this whole afternoon, Wei Shu had already carefully "read" the memory of Shujiu several times, and the more she read, the more she felt that this person was very troublesome.

In the "ninth" position, Shujiu has stayed for six full years.

This is not because his martial arts skills are inferior to those of the previous ones, nor is it that he can stay in the same position every time by chance, but because he likes the number "nine" very much.

Nine is the highest of all numbers, a kind of extreme.

And what Shu Jiu pursued in his life is also the ultimate.

In order to make the name of "Shu Jiu" permanent, countless strong people died under his hands, and countless people "won" him inexplicably.

In other words, all those who threatened the position of "nine" either jumped to a high place, or turned into dust.

From Wei Shu's point of view, it is difficult to compete for the top spot, but it is even more difficult to keep one's position fixed in a certain place.

The former requires extremely high martial arts, while the latter requires not only outstanding martial arts, but also good calculations, timing, and... upholding and firmly believing in a certain... weird and narrow-minded obsession .

Moreover, this obsession has reached the extreme, far beyond life and death.

This kind of perseverance in the heart is the rarest.

Book Nine, I see that you are sick or seriously ill.

It's a pity that today's Wei Shu is no longer "I", and all the things that "I" can easily do, are difficult for her.

After all, she is just a lowly servant girl, and her status is her biggest constraint. No matter what she wants to do, it will not be so easy.

Wei Shu sighed softly.

The identity of Akis is really complicated and troublesome.

Since meeting Shujiu at noon, Wei Shu has never stopped thinking about it, and after thinking about it several times, she came to only one conclusion:
If it is not necessary, never meet Shujiu face to face.

This is not timidity, but because of injuries, he has to temporarily avoid his edge.

As for the man with a voice like a jackdaw, Wei Shu still doesn't know his name. He only knows that he is no less terrifying than Shujiu, but he is not terrifying in martial arts, but... but...

The moonlight suddenly became blurred, everything in front of my eyes seemed to be shaking, and there seemed to be no more light between the sky and the earth.

Wei Shu resigned to her fate and closed her eyes, her thoughts were interrupted.
