Chapter 54: Rivers and Lakes

Jiang Yuyan covered her hair and looked at Gu Changsheng in confusion.

Gu Changsheng: "Well...it's a bit like sucking a cat."

"What does sucking a cat mean?"

"It was just like that." Gu Changsheng raised the corners of his mouth with a mysterious smile.

Jiang Yuyan's puzzled look was quite amusing.

"Cat... are you talking about Cicada Slave?" Jiang Yuyan thought for a while and asked.

"probably……"

Gu Changsheng tidied the counter, and when the number of customers gradually dwindled around noon, he counted the coins he had received.

Lu Zhongyuan came out of the guest room with a completely new look. After thanking him, he left with his sword on his back.

Gu Changsheng raised his hand and the clerk came over, "Clean that room properly, it's too dirty."

"Good shopkeeper!"

It was rare for the clerk to see such a dirty person, so he went to clean up the room he just left in disgust.

In the next few days, Lu Zhongyuan followed Yan Nantian to learn the Divine Sword Art and Nantian Divine Fist. Gu Changsheng and the others did not bother him anymore. They asked the waiter to send an extra portion of the three meals, so Lu Zhongyuan no longer had to spend money to eat there. The cheapest bowl of noodles——

Gu Changsheng really doesn't like those few coppers.

I don’t know how each of these heroes ended up so poor. After suppressing the evil, they didn’t know how to leave some money for themselves?Have they all been distributed?

It's hard to agree. Gu Changsheng thinks that he should reward himself first, and then he can help others after he is well off.

Anyway, she couldn't bear that she and Jiang Yuyan were dirty and smelly, so she used the money to help others.
-
Although meals were delivered to Yan Nantian's courtyard, Lu Zhongyuan still came often.

After practicing martial arts for a day, he would go to the inn and find a small table in the corner. He would ask for a pot of the cheapest sake without any dishes. He would just slowly taste it bit by bit, as if the cup was not the lowest quality sake. , but a peerless wine worth thousands of gold.

Half a month passed like this, and the second shopkeeper dealt with two drunken gangsters who were looking for trouble. Lu Zhongyuan drank at the side without making any move, as if he couldn't see it, and drank by himself.

After more than ten years of hiding in the world, the new generation of young talents were far behind him and Yan Nantian, and even compared with Shen Qinghong of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau, who was the second best at that time. Only these two The young shopkeeper's spirit made him see what he looked like when he was young.

He does not bully the weak and is afraid of the strong. In order to improve his swordsmanship, he dares to say that he has seen Yan Nantian's divine sword skills. Even when faced with himself, a swordsman who was famous in the world more than ten years ago, he is not submissive and does not dare to contradict.

"Why did you refuse to watch Brother Yan teach me the Divine Sword Technique and Nantian Divine Fist?"

Gu Changsheng lowered his head to settle accounts, but heard Lu Zhongyuan's voice. He raised his head and looked to make sure he was talking to him, then shook his head and said, "We are not from the same place."

Lu Zhongyuan smiled and asked, "Where are you from?"

Gu Changsheng said: "You are heroes."

Lu Zhongyuan said: "Are heroes born?"

Gu Changsheng shook his head: "It's not natural."

Lu Zhongyuan said strangely: "This is even more strange. You would rather not learn the swordsmanship that so many people dream of. From this alone, you can see that you two have your own spirit. You are not evil people, but you don't want to Is it related to Xia?"

Gu Changsheng said coldly: "Does Master Lu know what life our sisters lived before they started practicing martial arts?"

Lu Zhongyuan said: "How should I know?"

Gu Changsheng said: "When we were all ordinary people, we could no longer kill as many people as we could count."

Lu Zhongyuan couldn't help but ask: "You two... how did you do it? Is it poisoning?"

Gu Changsheng shook his head and said: "Neither of us understands the properties of medicine, and we don't know how to poison it."

Lu Zhongyuan said: "Then..."

Gu Changsheng said: "Insert eyes and stab in the back. If you are familiar with these two things, ordinary people in the world will not be able to stop you."

Lu Zhongyuan was stunned. He couldn't imagine how two girls could master these two moves.

Gu Changsheng said indifferently: "Have you ever seen the hero who stabbed people in the eyes?" Lu Zhongyuan shook his head and said: "I have never even heard of it."

Gu Changsheng said: "If we meet someone we can't beat, we will still stick in their eyes."

Lu Zhongyuan was silent for a long time, then nodded slowly and said: "A life-and-death fight is not honorable. If you can win by poking the bad guy's eyes, then that's a way to do it."

Gu Changsheng raised his eyes and looked at him, smiling: "I can also poke good people."

Lu Zhongyuan's expression changed and he said in a deep voice, "Why?"

Gu Changsheng said: "As long as he offends our sisters, no matter he is a good or bad person in other people's words, he will be an enemy to us."

Lu Zhongyuan thought for a moment and said, "If you are good people, then you can indeed be called bad people if you provoke me."

Gu Changsheng smiled, and after a while he looked up at Lu Zhongyuan and said, "Does Master Lu know Murong Jiuxiu of the Murong family?"

Lu Zhongyuan said in surprise: "Of course I know!"

Gu Changsheng asked: "Do you know the youngest Murong Jiumei?"

Lu Zhongyuan nodded without saying anything, waiting for her to continue.

Gu Changsheng said: "It is said that there was a young man who was poisoned and fled to Murong Villa. He was rescued and detoxified by Murong Jiumei, the ninth beauty of the Murong family."

Lu Zhongyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?"

Gu Changsheng said: "Listen to me, that boy was not only poisoned, he was also chased by the little fairy Zhang Jing, and Murong Jiu protected him from death. Do you know what happened to him after that? To repay a favor?"

Lu Zhongyuan frowned and said, "How?"

Gu Changsheng smiled and said: "He sneaked into the Murong family's medicine room and ate a lot of rare herbs and elixirs inside. He also destroyed the herbs in the medicine room that he could not use. Then he sneaked into the Murong family's medicine room. In the secret room, I peeked at the naked Murong Jiu practicing martial arts, which almost caused Murong Jiu to become possessed."

Lu Zhongyuan frowned and said coldly: "There is such a vicious thief?"

Gu Changsheng said: "What would Daxia Lu do if he met such a person?"

Lu Zhongyuan said decisively: "I will kill him!"

Gu Changsheng chuckled and said, "If this person's name is Jiang Xiaoyu, what will happen to Daxia Lu?"

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Lu Zhongyuan's brows almost knitted together, staring straight at Gu Changsheng, wanting to speak but not opening his mouth.

"This...this...must be..."

Gu Changsheng shook his head and said: "I'm not saying this for any reason. In the final analysis, strength is respected, and life and death depend on fate. There are not so many good and bad things. Just like if something like this happens to us sisters, we will either be inferior to others in terms of skills and be punished by others. It is normal to be killed or bullied, or you can survive the fight... We have come from such an environment - the world is dangerous. I admire people like Lu Daxia, but I have never thought about being a hero, so we say We are not from the same group." If she had any illusions about the world before, she has adapted to it in the past few years.

Lu Zhongyuan was silent for a long time, staring at the counter table with a pair of tiger eyes. The shopkeeper opened the account book again and used a brush to record today's income.

"Being in the world..."

Lu Zhongyuan closed his eyes and sighed, then opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If this really happens, I will definitely take him to Murong Villa to plead guilty and prevent him from losing his former reputation as Jiang Feng..." I will kill him and take him away. Please forgive me. There is a big difference between the two.

"Good and evil have little to do with us, Daxia Lu doesn't have to be like this." Gu Changsheng said calmly.According to the rules of the world, Murong Jiu was not strong enough to cut Jiang Xiaoyu, so no one said anything.

Lu Zhongyuan was silent for a long time, then he saluted the young shopkeeper with his fists clasped, and then left the inn with his sword on his back.

The hero of Nantian...

The greatest hero in the world...

Lu Zhongyuan turned back and took a deep look at the inn, recalling that day when the two shopkeepers turned away after rejecting Yan Nantian's proposal. At this time, he actually felt a hint of ridicule from the back.

Rivers and lakes...

Lu Zhongyuan looked up at the sky, which was full of stars, and the gentle breeze was blowing his gray hair at the temples.
