After leaving the door, Zou Chengwei had a look of apprehension on his face, "That boy, Tao Tie, is just greedy and fun, otherwise he wouldn't be trapped in Qianshan Realm today. Don't be the same as him."
Luo Guan shook his head, "Senior Brother Tao Ye was afraid that I would feel guilty, so he deliberately asked me to treat him. I know this well, Master Zou, don't worry."
When he came outside Wangsun's room, he thought for a while and said, "Master Zou, I want to talk to senior brother alone."
Zou Chengwei nodded, "Okay, I'll order someone to prepare food. Do you want to stay and eat together?"
Seeing his expectant look, Luo Guan nodded, "Then I'll bother Master Zou."
Zou Chengwei left happily. Luo Guan knocked on the door and pushed in. Although it was daytime, the doors and windows were closed and the room was dark, which made people feel depressed.
"Master Zou? I'm not hungry, so I won't eat today." Wang Sun opened his eyes and squinted due to the light outside the door. He finally saw the person coming clearly, "Ah... Junior Brother Luo, why are you here?"
"
He struggled to get up, but was held down by Luo Guan, "Senior brother, just lie down. Your body has not recovered yet. You need to breathe more fresh air to facilitate the circulation of qi and blood, which will make it easier to recover."
While talking, he turned around and opened the window, bright sunlight was shining down, and the wind was blowing the weeping willows outside the window. .??.
Wang Sun looked out the window, his eyes a little dull, "We haven't seen you for a few days, have the willow trees sprouted?"
Luo Guan smiled, "Although the cold winter is cruel, it will eventually become a thing of the past. When spring comes, everything will recover again."
Wang Sun, who was on the bed, had lost a lot of weight in a short period of time. He was almost out of shape and no longer looked as handsome as before. Hearing this, he paused and said slowly, "Yes, the cold winter will eventually pass... Thank you, junior brother, for your comfort.
I know it in my heart."
However, everyone understands the truth, but it is difficult to overcome the obstacles in the heart.
Luo Guan was silent for a moment and looked directly into his eyes, "Senior Brother Wangsun, someone cut off one of his arms during the competition, and his dream of becoming a swordsman was shattered. Did you ever blame me?"
Wang Sun's expression froze slightly, and there was pain in his eyes. He said slowly and silently, "Junior Brother Luo, why do I blame you? Why didn't you just sit back and wait for death when facing the Wu family? Or why did Master Zou accept you as his disciple in the first place? Or even blame the Emperor.
Why does Wu want you to join?"
He shook his head, "If I continue to blame like this, I'm afraid that I will eventually feel that the whole world has failed me, and that person will become crazy and not be able to distinguish between right and wrong."
"So, junior brother, you don't have to be burdened. Maybe I am destined to have no chance to be a swordsman. I couldn't get anything I asked for, and I wasted several years. Now it's time to wake up."
Wang Sun raised his hand, "This arm has finally been reattached. I can't hold the sword but can still do other things. I will accept it...but it will take some time."
As he rambled on, Luo Guan looked into his eyes, filled with regret, pain, sadness and helplessness, but without any resentment.
Senior Brother Wang Sun is indeed a pure and kind gentleman!
Luo Guan smiled and said softly, "A broken arm may not be the result of cutting off the sword cultivator of my senior brother." road, but open another door for you?" He took out the spirit stone and put it into Wang Sun's hands, "Senior brother, just rest in peace and recover, I will help you."
At the lunch table, Zou Chengwei looked at Luo Guan and hesitated several times.
He was really curious about what Luo Guan said that made Wang Sun, who was depressed, suddenly come to life.
Just now, that boy finished three bowls of rice in a row and shouted to him to add soup!
Zou Shanshan was indeed fine. She was also at the table at this time. She was very quiet the whole time, lowering her head to eat and not knowing what she was thinking.
"Master Zou, I'm full and I still have some things to deal with, so I'm going to leave first." Luo Guan put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up to say goodbye.
"Shanshan, send Junior Brother Luo off for me." Zou Chengwei winked.
Zou Shanshan stood up, nodded and said, "I understand, Dad... Junior Brother Luo, I'll see you off."
"……good!"
The two of them went out. Zou Shanshan was silent for a long time, and finally summoned up the courage to say, "Junior Brother Luo, I apologize to you for being rude before. You are a good person, but what I like is the kind of cold, domineering, and very chauvinistic man."
, we are really not suitable..."
She seemed to have run out of courage. After speaking, she glanced at Luo Guan's blank expression, turned around and ran away. The panicked back seemed to be afraid that Luo Guan wouldn't be able to accept it, and then he roared and turned into a wolf, wanting to do something to her.
An outrageous bad thing!
Luo Guan rubbed his face, shook his head and smiled bitterly. Not long ago, he was worried about rotten peach blossoms, and in the blink of an eye, he was issued a good person card. This basin of cold water was really sour. But this is normal. It is impossible to meet a woman.
Will everyone fall in love with him without thinking?
Buzz——
The Imperial Martial Student ID card trembled, Luo Guan's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his lips - the Imperial Martial Back Mountain forbidden area is about to be opened!
Without hesitation, he followed the information prompts and headed straight to the back mountain.
When Luo Guan arrived, there were already several people here, not to mention other students on the Heavenly King List. After a quick glance, Luo Guan didn't recognize any of them. Luo Guan bowed to the expressionless, skinny old man in front of him and then became quiet.
Wait nearby.
Soon, ten people arrived.
The skinny old man opened his eyes, his eyes were astonishingly bright, and he said slowly, "Everyone is here, follow me into the back mountain."
"Trouble Mr. Cheng."
One of them raised his hand in a very respectful tone.
Your surname is Cheng?
Luo Guan glanced around, and sure enough, he found a trace of familiarity between the skinny old man's brows and eyes. As expected, sisters Cheng Xian and Cheng Jing must have a blood relationship with him.
At this moment, Mr. Cheng suddenly saw that the two people were looking at each other. Luo Guan was slightly startled, and his eyes actually
Like a long sword, its sharpness penetrates deep into the heart.
But the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he looked at her calmly.
Mr. Cheng seemed a little surprised, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and turned around to lead the way.
Soon, the group passed through the Imperial Martial Restriction and entered the back mountain.
The most obvious change is that the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth is several times higher than that in other places in Emperor Wu, and various plants are growing lushly.
There are some scattered courtyards scattered in the back mountains. Some are clean and tidy, while others are dilapidated and seem to have been uninhabited for many years.
Luo Guan was secretly frightened. He sensed extremely terrifying auras in some of the courtyards. In some of them, his eyes dropped and his eyes stung faintly, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
Step into the heaven realm!
He must be at the top of his martial arts to be so intimidating.
The Imperial Martial Arts Academy really has a profound foundation, and its strength is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface!
When passing by a thatched cottage, Mr. Cheng stopped and saluted from a distance, but without further explanation, he continued to lead people deeper into the back mountain.
Luo Guan's eyes were fixed, but there was a cold sweat on his back. He could clearly sense the great terror in the thatched cottage - that is, a rolling storm of sword breath!
There seemed to be billions of thunders roaring and raging. Once it exploded, most of the Imperial Martial Academy would be torn to pieces in an instant.
After walking far away, the shadow that shrouded his mind gradually subsided. Luo Guansong glanced at everyone. Their expressions showed no strangeness, and they obviously did not realize the horror of that thatched cottage.
Finally, the group stopped. In front of them was a stone tower, ten stories high, with a gray-white body, filled with the aura of time-honored baptism.
"Mr. Cheng, let's take a step first." The person who spoke before bowed respectfully and strode towards the stone tower. He showed his identity token and the tower door opened automatically.
Several other people, after bowing to Mr. Cheng, also stepped inside.
Soon, only Luo Guan and one other person were left. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw this man wearing black armor and carrying a long spear, with a stern look on his face and eyes!
Luo Guan heard Cheng Xian talk about the follow-up to the Battle of Heavenly Kings, and this person should be Han Dong, who was born in the Iron Spear Army of Beishan County.
Mr. Cheng said calmly, "You are the only two newcomers to this year's list of kings. I will tell you some rules now."
"First, as long as there is no owner in the courtyard in the back mountain, you can choose one, but only you can live here, and you are not allowed to bring others in."
"Second, the sword tower is filled with powerful sword intent, which can be used to sharpen your practice. If you can capture the sword intent and refine it, you will benefit endlessly. But act according to your ability, and be careful not to be greedy for too much, otherwise the gain will not be worth the loss."
"Third, the sword tower opens on the first of every month. Each person only has one chance to enter per month. If you leave, you have to wait until it opens next month."
"Fourth, don't run around, let alone try Excuse me, the seniors who are in seclusion in the back mountain, most of them have bad tempers..."
Luo Guan stared at the sword tower, and there seemed to be nothing unusual, but his heartbeat was accelerating in his chest - the fragment of the Emperor's Sword was right here!
"...That's about it, you go in."
Without saying a word, Han Dong stepped into the stone tower with clasped fists and a salute.
Luo Guan took a deep breath, and just as he was about to set off, he heard a voice as thin as a mosquito's fly, ringing in his ears, "Boy, if you want to get a chance in the sword tower, try your best to get to the fifth floor of the sword tower."
It’s Mr. Cheng!
Luo Guan's expression remained unchanged, he didn't even look at him, and his figure disappeared from the entrance.
boom--
The tower door is closed!
Mr. Cheng sighed, turned around and saluted, "Dean, I broke the rules in the back mountain and am willing to be punished."
Buzz——
The breath of the sword spread and shook the air, and a shadow appeared. He was quite tall, with his hands on his back and his back straight, giving him the aura of looking out in all directions. "I have guarded the tower for so many years, and I have all the credit for my hard work. Just forget about a little thing...
Besides, I am also very curious about where this kid can go today."
Everyone fell silent. Although the sword tower was closed, they could not detect the movement on the fifth floor of the two little guys who had just entered the tower.
Stepping into the sword tower, Luo Guan's pupils shrank suddenly and he stood frozen on the spot.
Opposite him, Han Dong clenched the spear in his hand. He finally understood why the commander ordered him to leave the army and go to study in the Imperial Martial Arts. At this moment, feeling the blood and energy flowing out of his body, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Glancing at Luo Guan, who was standing motionless, Han Dong strode towards the second floor of the sword tower without hesitation. The sword intention training on the first floor was too weak for him and could not achieve the best training effect.
Sure enough, the further up the sword tower goes, the stronger the sword intent becomes!
The second floor was empty, but there were two Tianwang List students on the third floor. Seeing him coming up and opening his eyes, Han Dong came to the fourth floor of the sword tower without even looking at the two of them.
Han Dong looked solemn, this was his limit. He glanced at the stairs leading to the fifth floor and sat cross-legged to perform his exercises.
And here, three students looked at Han Dong with expressions of wonder and emotion.
On the first day after entering the tower, he climbed straight to the fourth level. The newcomers are so strong now!
"This Han Dong is worthy of being the adopted son of Marshal Han of the Iron Spear Army. He is truly amazing!" One person said with a wry smile, his eyes showing admiration.
Another person said, "Next year in the battle of kings, this person will definitely be in the top five!" Then he looked at the stairs, "Then why didn't Luo Guan come up?"
"He? Killed Jiang Tian with one sword in the battle of the Heavenly King. His combat power is indeed terrifying, but the sword tower tests the realm of cultivation and physical strength. Can he still use his trump card and hold on all the way up?" The last person pointed out Luo with a sneer.
Guan's shortcomings, "I'm afraid, he is still on the first floor, whether he can survive today is anyone's guess!"
