Hanging up and cultivating immortality in the troubled times

Chapter 11 I would rather be a peace dog than a troubled world

"what?!"

The old beggar was so horrified that he could hardly believe his eyes.

He was obviously just a young man with strong energy and mediocre boxing and kicking skills. How could he suddenly become a master who could exhale his breath into a sword? !

And judging by his appearance, he can't be older than that at most.

How could anyone reach such a state at such a young age?

It is impossible for the proud men on the Qianyuan List to advance in martial arts so quickly!

How could such a peerless person appear in this small Heyang County?
Moreover, what happened to the knife in his hand, appearing out of thin air?

What is this means? !

In just a moment, countless doubts flashed through the mind of the "old beggar", and he was so frightened that he planned to run away directly.

But then, he felt a buzz in his head, as if he had been hit hard by something heavy. His whole body became dizzy and he was almost unsteady.

This is the power of the Black Tiger Soul-Capturing Knife to shock and stun!
at the same time--

boom!
There was just a crisp sound, and the stone wrapped by the strength of the "old beggar" was directly crushed by the white light and scattered into countless powders.

This white light was like a flying sword, leaving a long trajectory in the air, piercing the "old beggar's" forehead as easily as a knife slicing through tofu.

The inside of his head was completely crushed, but a small trace of blood was left on the surface.

The "old beggar" froze on the spot, then bled from all his orifices, and died on the spot.

Lu Heng immediately felt that the murderous thoughts in his heart were being refined, and his magic power increased accordingly.

Pfft!
The old beggar's body fell to the ground.

Until the time of his death, he maintained an expression of extreme shock on his face, his eyes wide open and full of disbelief.

"..." Just as he was about to kill him with the Black Tiger Soul-Capturing Knife, Lu Heng was suddenly stunned. He looked at the "old beggar" on the ground with his eyes open, and felt a little bit dumbfounded, "This is nothing, I didn't even try hard... No, I You just took a breath and you died?"

This result was beyond his expectation.

After all, when the old beggar appeared, he looked aloof and master-like. He thought he was some powerful enemy, but he died all of a sudden.

"I wonder what state this person is in." Lu Heng squatted down and touched around on the old beggar's body, but only found a black snake-shaped jade pendant, and nothing else. "Tsk, he is too poor. , not as good as Cai Kang’s soldiers.”

Moreover, there was no token to prove his identity. For a long time, Lu Heng didn't know who the person he killed was.

"The killing was too fast just now."

Lu Heng shook his head slightly, but he did not regret it. If he did it again, he would do it again.

In the battle of life and death, the difference between the fast one and the slow one is like the abyss. When it is time to kill decisively, you must kill decisively.

Can't hesitate.

Afterwards, Lu Heng took out the inner fire alchemy furnace, threw the body of the "old beggar" in, and poured a little mana into it to let the inner fire burn fiercely, and in a blink of an eye, the old beggar was made of ashes.

It's just that no life essence is produced.

Because this is already a corpse, not life.

But it’s not nothing.

In the ashes, he found a bit of light, and when he took it out, it turned out to be a bead glowing with light gold.

It is only as big as a grain of rice and very small.

It seems to be a certain bone, something special.

"Put it away first." Lu Heng shook his head, not recognizing what it was, and turned to look at the house next to him, "Let's take a look at the situation at home."

Then he jumped up to the roof, quietly lifted the tiles, and checked what was going on inside.

But this sight made his eyes freeze, and he directly covered it with tiles.

At this time, mother Wang and sister Lu Qin in the room were applying medicine to Pei Zhiqing, who was in a coma.

For convenience, the heroine's upper body clothes had been taken off to her waist by the mother and daughter, and she lay on the bed, revealing her smooth white back and shoulders.

There was only a slap-sized wound on the left shoulder and the right side of the back. It was bloody and looked like a hole, as if it had been penetrated by some hidden weapon.

"If it was injured by a stone thrown by the old beggar, the condition of this wound is more consistent."

Lu Heng thought about the old beggar's attack technique just now, and said secretly, "It seems that Pei Zhiqing's martial arts level should be relatively limited, so communication should be easier.

"However, now is not the time to meet. You can wait until she wakes up before showing up."

Then, he jumped off the roof and rolled into an abandoned courtyard next door.

This courtyard was originally occupied by people.But two years ago, the state government imposed corvee labor for mining, and all the men in the family were arrested, leaving only a woman at home with her three-year-old child.

The mine had long been over-exploited and should have been abandoned. However, in order to raise more iron ore to forge weapons, the governor of Shangzhou still ordered the digging to continue.

It didn't take long for the mine to collapse, and thousands of laborers died inside.

The men of this family were not spared either.

After the woman got the news, she and her three-year-old child burned charcoal and committed suicide that night.

It took seven or eight days to be discovered by Lu Heng's predecessor who smelled the stench.

At that time, both corpses were severely decomposed and maggots were everywhere, leaving a great psychological shadow on Lu Heng's predecessor.

Afterwards, no one came to this yard again. They all said that there was so much resentment in it that even homeless beggars who had to sleep on the streets did not dare to spend the night in it.

Lu Heng didn't care about these rumors.

In fact, the predecessor had a good relationship with this family, and one of the men who was arrested for mining had an older brother who took good care of the predecessor.

After the whole family died, the predecessor would go to the yard to burn paper to pay homage to them on the anniversary of their death.

It's a pity that not long after this, the predecessor himself died in the corvée.

At this time, the farm tools and looms in the yard were still there, but they were covered with dust and cobwebs.

In the past, men in this family farmed and women weaved. Unless there was a disaster, their life was not rich, but it was still decent. No one could have imagined that their family would suddenly be destroyed.

"I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times." Lu Heng shook his head gently, "In troubled times, you must be strong enough."

As soon as the thought came to his mind, the "White Tiger's Secrets of Killing" appeared in his hand, and he began to read the contents about "The Sword Art of Killing" in it.

"Killing Sword Technique", as the supporting sword technique of "White Tiger's Secret Manual of Killing Life", can be used as a close-quarter sword technique at a low level. After reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining and being able to control a sword, it can be used as a sword control technique, which is extremely powerful.

After reading it several times, Lu Heng memorized the moves in the entry-level stage, swung the Black Tiger Soul-Calling Knife in his hand as a long sword, and practiced the sword moves.

After a moment, a white light suddenly lit up on the Black Tiger Soul-Capturing Knife. The pitch-black blade trembled slightly. The white light burst out and struck the ground three or four meters away, creating a "sword" that was nearly one meter long. mark".

"Getting started!" Lu Heng's eyes lit up, sword energy burst out, and the sword mark was three feet long, which was the sign of getting started in "Sword Art of Killing", and then he secretly said in his heart: "Shenlan, give me more! No, use up the Taoist skills for me. !”

A month of Taoism was instantly cleared.

Immediately afterwards, he felt that scenes of light and shadow appeared in front of his eyes, all of which were the sword moves of the "Killing Sword Technique".

Immediately, he seemed to be immersed in the spiritual world, appeared in a huge space, and began to practice "Killing Sword Art" day and night.

Time seems to have passed a month in this moment.

When the countless lights and shadows dissipated, Lu Heng suddenly came back to his senses and realized that his mastery of the "Killing Sword Art" was quite perfect, as if he had been practicing it for more than a month.

He had a clear understanding and was in a very happy mood.

"It turns out that this is how to use Taoism to improve the cultivation progress of the method of protecting the Dao. Let me go through a month in an instant and practice day and night. In essence, it is still the progress I have made through cultivation, but it has omitted the reality. time.

"Well, this is more to my liking than directly adding some upgrades, although on the surface the results are similar."

After continuing to review the "Killing Sword Technique" for a while, Lu Heng looked at the sky and realized that it was still early, so he took out the "Wind Calling Curse" and began to study.

Anyway, until Pei Zhi wakes up, he will be idle and won't be able to practice more spells.

When the Dao Xing increases next, you can directly improve the process of spell cultivation.

It has to be said that practicing magic is much more difficult than swordsmanship.

At dusk, Lu Heng barely mastered the "Wind Calling Curse". The success rate of casting the spell was still very low. It only took ten times to complete it.

"Huh, good guy, this spell is really difficult, but fortunately I'm getting started. I'll use Taoxing to improve my spells in the future." He sighed inwardly. Compared with the killing swordsmanship, the speed of this practice was far behind.

At this moment, his ears suddenly moved and he heard a noise in his courtyard.

Although Lu Heng spent this day practicing swordsmanship and spells, he also paid attention to what was going on at home to avoid any accidents.

"The footsteps should be from Pei Zhiqing. She's awake."

Lu Heng made a judgment in his mind and was about to leave the courtyard, but saw a woman in black jumping in from outside and looking directly at Lu Heng.

In a sense, this was an unexpected reunion.

Especially for Pei Zhiqing.

"Is it you?" The heroine, who was still seriously injured, looked at Lu Heng in shock, full of doubts in her heart.

Why do I keep running into him?

"It's me." Lu Heng nodded slightly and asked with a smile, "Let's talk?"
