Chapter 99 (1/2)
In the quiet courtyard, the cold wind blew down the dead leaves on the treetops.
The flowing water rippled across the stone cracks in the upper layer and fell into the bamboo tube until a certain amount. The bamboo tube instantly fell and buckled on the stone below, making a crisp sound.
The afternoon sun is warm. On the edge of the corridor facing the courtyard, there are three people, one old, two young, each holding a Japanese ceramic tea cup with steaming wheat tea.
It seems that the three are leisurely spending the afternoon.
”Master of dog mountain, your residence is really the best intention of kendo. I think you may be faster?”
It's mainly that Lu Chen and old man Gushan are chatting one by one. Yuan Zhisheng just looks at the waking bamboo in the courtyard in a daze, and even begins to doubt whether he doesn't need to look at Lu Chen at all.
This guy really just came to the master of dog mountain for advice. It seems that he doesn't even have the idea of dueling. Based on his observation of Lu Chen these days, he doesn't look like he can be a lobbyist for president angre.
Moreover, the dog mountain family leader is indeed a faction ”close” to the secret party in the snake Qi eight family, but he doesn't think the other party will fall to the secret party at the critical moment.
”This kind of praise from your mouth really makes me ashamed. Even if I can be faster, I can't be faster than you.”
Gushanhe drank wheat tea and vomited hot air.
”Can you ask the master of dog mountain what level he can be promoted to in an instant? The headmaster told me that you are the strongest person with the highest level in the world at that moment.”
Apart from other things, Lu Chen still respects people like dog Shanhe. From the fight that day, he can see that the other party's knife has been sharpened for many years, but he hasn't met anyone who wants to cut it.
If you change that person, maybe this knife of dog Shanhe will be faster?
And some of his words are not compliments. In the moment of rank, hosayama is indeed the strongest in the world.
”Eighth order.”
In fact, when he was in his best condition, he had accidentally reached level 9, but it was obvious that chance could not be counted as strength.
Lu Chen was a little surprised. The legendary dragon butcher Viscount Charlotte of silver wing in history had only reached the seventh level, but the old man could climb to the eighth level.
Yuan Zhisheng was also a little surprised. He once practiced with the dog mountain master. The other party had only reached level 7 in front of him. Unexpectedly, the old man still maintained his strength.
”Excuse me, senior, do you have any skills to improve the moment?”
Lu Chen asked for advice with an open mind.
Who knows, dog Shanhe shook his head and said, ”there's no good way. In a moment, it's like a knife. The more you sharpen, the faster.”
Lu Chen was surprised. The old man said it in Chinese and used puns.
He thought for a moment, ”it means that it's enough to use such a thing as spirit?”
Dog Shanhe didn't respond to this confirmation question, but turned to Lu Chen. His old face had a pair of bright eyes, with the meaning of examination: ”aren't you satisfied with your speed?”
Dog Shanhe thinks that there is always a reason for people to pursue power. Just like he sharpened a knife in 60 years, in order to cut out the extreme speed of the world and surpass that man, that is his goal and the reason for him to become stronger.
And what about this teenager?
According to the information he knows, the boy has not had any setbacks since he ”came out of the mountain”. No matter what strong enemies are under his knife, he even thinks that the speed of the boy will not be inferior to that man when he breaks out with all his strength.
The teenager is still very young and has a lot of room to improve. Sooner or later, he will surpass that man.
What is he for, pursuing power?
Lu Chen and the old man looked at each other, instantly understood each other's meaning, looked at each other's eyes and said, ”if you stop the pursuit of power, what's the meaning?”
Yuan Zhisheng felt that the atmosphere between Lu Chen and the old man had changed. The moment before, it was still a harmonious conversation between the old man and his younger generation, but at this moment, the atmosphere seemed to become sharp, and there seemed to be a non-existent spark at the junction of his two eyes.
Finally, a burst of laughter broke the atmosphere.
GUSHAN he smiled so boldly and carefree that he even slapped his hands on his legs. Finally, he looked at Lu Chen: ”Lu Jun, you are really pure. Angre has accepted a good student again.”
Yes, does the pursuit of power have to be similar to revenge, or want to surpass someone's obsession?
The boy is not attached to those things, but he is more pure. He only pursues power for the sake of power. His obsession is power itself!
But this kind of pure... Is evil. He has seen too many young people who pursue power fall into the abyss, such as members of the fierce ghost crowd and wise ashuya of the Kanto branch.
”What the elder said is wrong. Strictly speaking, my mentor is Schneider. Of course, in a broad sense, we are all students of principal angre.”
Lu Chen smiled and said. He also picked up the tea cup and drank wheat tea. It was a little cold.
Looking at Lu Chen's clear eyes, he thinks of what the teenager has done these days and feels a little distracted. He is a person who can separate pursuit from daily life. Maybe such a child is easier to get happiness.
Suddenly, he felt that if the recent rumors in the family came true, it would be good. Lu Chen was indeed a good match for the Lord of Shangshan family.
”I hear you hate hot weapons. Why?”
At this time, Yuan Zhisheng kept silent and asked an inexplicable question.
They investigated the information of the teenager. The other party never used cold weapons or auxiliary hot weapons when performing tasks. In some cases, it would be more convenient to use guns.
Lu Chen was silent and said, ”I've been thinking about why guns were invented.”
The other two didn't interrupt. They knew the boy wasn't asking them.
”Is it to pursue more powerful force? Is it to let the weak have the power to rival the strong? Is it to show that man goes further in the process of fighting with nature?”
Lu Chen shook his head and sighed: ”later, I found that it was not. At least I don't think so. My teacher told me that gun was invented to reduce people's guilt.”
”Guilt?”
Yuan Zhisheng wondered. In fact, the first few words said by the other party were objectively correct. He didn't understand what Lu Chen wanted to express.
”Yes, when you insert the knife into the enemy's body, your hand can feel the touch of the cold weapon stabbing into the soft body. During this period, you may also touch the hard bones. The sound of friction is transmitted from your hand and straight into your mind. When you turn the blade, the enemy will howl and cry bitterly. Before he dies, he may be ferocious or resentful, or frightened or desperate... It seems that he is counting your life Sin, this voice seems to follow you to your dreams. ”
The boy's voice was flat, but it was like a demon's whisper, which made people shudder.
