In the mountains and forests, corpses were scattered all over the place. Each one of them died in an extremely miserable state, just like a hell on earth.
The cold wind howled, Cheng Qingshan woke up faintly, opened his eyes, and his eyes were blank.
He straightened up and sat up, accidentally touching the injury. Severe pain hit him, and he couldn't help but groaned: "Humph!"
The first time he saw his left arm was empty, Cheng Qingshan's heart suddenly sank, his face twitched several times, and his breathing became rapid.
After a long while, after taking a deep breath, he sadly admitted the fact before him, that his arm was broken.
Recalling the scene during the day, Cheng Qingshan's eyes dimmed for a while.
In one day, he lost his arm, lost his lover, fell from the clouds to the bottom, and lost everything.
This feels like a dream, so unreal.
"If this is a dream, then wake up quickly." Cheng Qingshan roared in pain, and the mournful voice echoed over the mountain forest.
It took a long, long time for Cheng Qingshan to wake up.
Only then did the cold reality tell him that this was not a dream, but a bloody fact.
"I didn't expect that I survived!"
"Who saved me?"
"Without my arms and my beloved, what's the point of my life?" Cheng Qingshan's heart was heavy and desolate.
The sky was overcast and there were no stars or moon.
There was deathly silence among the mountains and forests.
The cold wind blew, biting the bones.
The snowflakes are fluttering in the air, but there is a sense of sadness and beauty.
Like a homeless stray dog, Cheng Qingshan stumbled up from the snow, staring blankly at the forest in front of him, his mind numb with thoughts.
When he was young, his family fell into decline. Fortunately, he was appreciated by the city lord and was able to have a place to live.
Then he got to know the eldest lady, traveled with her and stayed with her day and night.
Watching the sunset and the rising sun, watching the clouds spreading and relaxing, it takes ten years of companionship to truly touch my heart.
I once made a promise to hold my son's hand and grow old together with him.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it was all in vain.
What exactly is this for?
Why is fate so unfair to him? The sky has no eyes.
Cheng Qingshan dragged a heavy sword and walked tiredly in the mountains and forests, step by step, walking aimlessly in the mountains, hesitant in his heart, like a lone eagle that had lost its direction, at a loss.
It's freezing cold, where is his home!
He could no longer return to the former city lord's mansion.
Because there was a man there named He Lianjie, his most hated enemy and rival in his life.
He is determined to take revenge and save everything.
Now that someone has cut off his arm and his strength is greatly reduced, how can He De take revenge?
If he had no chance, his life would be over.
He kept walking and walking, and suddenly in the dark night, he saw a group of fire appearing on the top of the mountain.
"There are still people living in the mountains?" Seeing this scene, Cheng Qingshan was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Let's go take a look first and find a place to spend tonight."
Cheng Qingshan limped along in the wind and snow, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he discovered that there was a ruined temple on the top of the mountain.
There seemed to be a shadow of someone in the ruined temple, and the light of the fire was swaying.
Cheng Qingshan had confusion in his eyes, and walked in gently.
Walking into the courtyard, he looked up and saw a thin, handsome young man in white sitting in a dilapidated hall in front of him, sitting next to a bonfire and warming himself, with an indifferent expression on his face.
"You're still here." The mysterious young man sat beside the bonfire, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Cheng Qingshan with a faint smile.
Cheng Qingshan looked stunned and couldn't help but said: "Do you know me?"
"That's right, I've met him once." Lu Chen laughed dumbly.
Cheng Qingshan stood in the snow and suddenly heard Lu Chen say this. His mind was a little confused and he was at a loss for a moment.
"You are a guest, come in!" Lu Chen saw Cheng Qingshan standing in the snow without saying a word for a long time, so he warmly invited him.
Cheng Qingshan looked bitterly and said, "That's sorry for bothering you."
Then, he walked slowly through the snow to the ruined temple, came to the campfire and sat down with difficulty.
"How are your arms?" Lu Chen asked casually, holding a wooden stick and fidgeting with matches.
Hearing this, Cheng Qingshan was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and looked at his arm with a sad expression: "My arm is broken. It was chopped off by the enemy."
"What kind of deep hatred makes your opponent be so vicious?" Lu Chen said with great interest.
When Cheng Qingshan heard this, his face was cold, he clenched his right fist, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The hatred of taking away my wife is irreconcilable."
"Oh, that's it." Lu Chen nodded, with a faint smile on his face.
"In this case, why don't you go and get your wife back? There is no point in complaining here."
After Cheng Qingshan said this, his whole body was like a deflated rubber ball, and he said with a painful expression: "It's a pity that I broke an arm. Otherwise, I will definitely go to settle the score with my enemy."
"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Chen continued to ask.
Cheng Qingshan gritted his teeth and looked at the fire with a blank look. He shook his head and said: "I don't know, my family has been ruined since I was young, and now I have lost my arms and my love. I am like a bereaved dog with nowhere to live."
"Oh, that's right." Lu Chen said silently.
Cheng Qingshan raised his head and looked at the mysterious young man in front of him, and couldn't help but said: "May I ask your surname?"
"I am a solitary prodigal who has seen through the world of mortals. Please call me Mr. Lu." Lu Chen laughed dumbly.
Cheng Qingshan frowned and thought deeply. Looking at his appearance, the mysterious young man in front of him seemed to be a few years older than him, but his whole person exuded a sense of mystery. There was no breath escaping from his body. He was no different from ordinary people. He seemed to be hiding.
Staring at the sun in the clouds and mist, it was hazy and hard to see clearly.
But could such a person hiding in the mountains and forests be an ordinary person?
Forget it, don’t think about it so much.
Who is he and what does it have to do with him? It's just a chance encounter.
"Master Lu, I wish I were as free and easy as you." Cheng Qingshan sighed bitterly.
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Life is like a play, what can't you see?"
"Can I see clearly?" Cheng Qingshan lowered his head, like an eggplant beaten by frost, and his whole expression was very decadent.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Lu Chen felt a little sad for a moment.
Once upon a time, his experience was very similar to his own.
"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Chen asked calmly.
Cheng Qingshan looked miserable and said in frustration: "What can I do? My arm is broken, which means I am a disabled person."
"Even my true love has been taken for myself by others. The other party is powerful and I have no power. I am a small person with no background. Can I change the ending?"
"Living is a kind of torture for me."
Lu Chen said with a smile: "There are a lot of hardships in life. After experiencing some, the hardships will eventually be over and the happiness will come, and the moon will turn away from the clouds."
"Why are you so frustrated?"
Cheng Qingshan smiled miserably and said: "I am a useless person now, what can I do?"
"Everything is irreversible."
Seeing this scene in front of him, Lu Chen couldn't help but recall the scene when he met his master.
He smiled calmly and said: "There are still many things that can be done. Whether you will sink like this or turn into a butterfly, it all depends on your thoughts."
Cheng Qingshan was shocked when he heard these words. He looked at his dead left arm and said hesitantly: "In such a situation, what else can I do?"
"Of course, do what you want to do." Lu Chen said.
Hearing this, Cheng Qingshan clenched his fists, with a fierce look on his face: "What I want to do is to cut my opponent into pieces and take back my lover."
"Then do it, do it boldly." Lu Chen laughed loudly.
Cheng Qingshan's lips curled up with bitterness: "With my useless body, how can I take revenge?"
"If you go, it doesn't mean that you are like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and being teased by others."
Lu Chen frowned and said, "Why, are you going to linger and just sink into depression?"
Cheng Qingshan looked at the fire, was silent for a long time, and said with a hesitant expression: "I dare to ask brother, Qingshan is confused about the road ahead, please give me some advice!"
"A man is a true man and stands upright." Lu Chen said righteously.
"Repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. If you want to do it, do it boldly. You shouldn't be so decadent."
"Since retreating is death and moving forward is death, why not stride forward."
When Cheng Qingshan heard Lu Chen say this, he suddenly felt proud and his blood boiled.
The gloomy eyes were like extinguished flames, suddenly filled with lamp oil and burning fiercely.
"Can I really do that?"
Lu Chen nodded with a smile: "Of course."
"Brother, why are you so confident in me?" Cheng Qingshan couldn't see Lu Chen clearly.
Lu Chen sighed: "People must have confidence."
"Confidence is the source of strength."
When Cheng Qingshan heard this, his heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he was filled with endless passion.
"Thank you for your advice, brother. Although I, Cheng Qingshan, broke my arm today, I am a man and should not fall like this."
"If others dare to take away my love with a knife, and dare to seize the one I love by force, I would not be a gentleman if I do not avenge myself."
"Since we are just hanging on, we might as well move forward bravely."
"Anyway, it's a sword, be a true hero."
When Lu Chen heard this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "Well, men should strengthen themselves."
"What are you going to do next?"
Cheng Qingshan showed no fear on his face, his eyes bursting with fierce light: "What else can I do? I will recover from my injuries and risk my life to get my beloved back."
"This is like a man. I wish you immediate success." Lu Chen said with a smile.
Cheng Qingshan felt a little ashamed and said, "If I hadn't been inspired by you, I would have been living a life of confusion in my life."
"Your words are like a beacon, illuminating the road ahead of me."
"After this trip, I will die without regrets."
Lu Chen smiled calmly and said: "Just look at it, life can grow in hatred, but you cannot suffer in hatred for the rest of your life."
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading." Cheng Qingshan said sincerely.
Lu Chen said: "There is a road under everyone's feet."
"Wherever you go, it all depends on you."
Cheng Qingshan didn't say a word, but silently picked up the heavy sword weighing hundreds of kilograms that was placed at his feet.
The night passed quickly, and the wind and snow outside were still falling.
Cheng Qingshan, who had regained his confidence, was practicing in the courtyard with his epee in hand.
After his left arm was cut off, he was left with only one right arm. Both his sword skills and body skills were greatly reduced.
If he wants to take revenge, it will not happen overnight, and he must be fully prepared.
Cheng Qingshan wandered erratically in the courtyard, holding a heavy sword, opening and closing it widely, making gas explosion sounds one after another, and each move was powerful and domineering.
But it was very difficult to perform.
After all, he used to use both hands to perform his sword moves. Now that he loses an arm, he loses half of his strength.
If you want to regain your strength, you still need to practice more frequently and continue to hone yourself.
Lu Chen stood in front of the main hall, looking at this scene indifferently, with a faint smile on his lips.
Let him practice hard.
To practice martial arts and Taoism, one must study hard.
Only through hard work can we make progress.
Lu Chen walked out of the ruined temple floatingly, walking hundreds of feet in a step, like a ghost.
Soon we arrived at the foot of Red Tiger City.
Red Tiger City is a small city on the border of Longshan Ghost Cave. It has a population of about two to three hundred thousand and covers an area of dozens of miles. It is quite prosperous.
There were guards at the Shen City Gate. Lu Chen walked in casually. The guards seemed not to notice and did not stop him in the slightest.
After entering the city, you will see a spacious street where four war horses can ride side by side.
People are coming and going on the street, rubbing shoulders, and there is a constant flow. A large number of vendors and footmen are interspersed among them, and shouts come and go, supporting the prosperity of this town.
On both sides of the street, there are many shops and countless lanes and streets.
Countless tiny breaths are like thousands of stars, scattered throughout the city, and Lu Chen is like a sun in this city, so dazzling.
This tiny aura is naturally the countless common people in the city. If the aura is slightly stronger, it should be some innate strong men in the city lord's mansion. Only Lu Chen's aura is so powerful that he is as dazzling as the sun. He is unique in this world.
exist.
Lu Chen walked forward along the street. After walking for a while, he came to a restaurant called Zhenfeng Tower.
I found a seat by the window on the second floor and sat down. I called the waiter and ordered four dishes.
Two meat and two vegetables, and a pot of strong wine.
Lu Chen poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and poured it down gently.
When strong liquor enters your throat, it's like a live fire pouring into your lungs. It has a unique taste.
The restaurant was full of people, most of them were heroic knights with a martial arts aura, as well as young masters from famous aristocrats.
Talking about some interesting things that happened in the city recently.
Lu Chen ate silently in the tavern, listening clearly to the major events happening in the city these days.
After a while, I found out about three major events that caused a lot of fuss.
The first one is that the city lord's daughter eloped with the family guard, and was hunted down by the young cousin of the Helian family, but the city lord's daughter was successfully brought back.
The second one is that the young cousin of the Helian family, He Lianjie, will marry the city lord's daughter in a month and take over the city lord's position.
The third major event is about the Helian family.
It is said that the Helian family led millions of troops and set out from the Cold Wind Canyon. The troops were divided into two groups and began to launch an all-out attack on the snow-covered rivers and Longshan Ghost Cave.
For a time, wars broke out all over the country, and the wars continued for thousands of miles, affecting all the major families and forces.
The Helian family came fiercely, and countless family forces fought fiercely with it, resulting in a loss of life, corpses strewn across the fields, countless civilians displaced, and families destroyed.
For the land of Canglan, it is an unprecedented catastrophe.
It is said that in order to dominate the world, the Helian family used all its masters to fight against all major forces.
The leading figure is the famous swordsman of the Helian family, Helian Longcheng.
Helian Longcheng relied on his sword immortal strength to lead hundreds of thousands of troops. Wherever he went, he swept through all the major cities with overwhelming force.
It is simply invincible and invincible.
Once the news came out, it was like a huge hurricane, spreading throughout the Canglan land and shaking the world.
After hearing the news, the major families immediately sealed off the entire city, deployed heavy troops to guard it, and entered a state of martial law, preparing to fight to the death with the Helian family.
Of course, in the face of the menacing Helian family, many weak families knew they were outmatched, so out of desperation, they surrendered directly to the city and joined the Helian family camp.
There are also some family forces that have formed an alliance, trying to unite the forces of dozens of families to fight against the Helian family's tyrannical behavior.
However, the Helian family has been based on the land of Canglan for thousands of years, has a profound family background, and even has a sword fairy sitting in charge. It can be said that it is menacing and ambitious.
Na Helian Longcheng has great ambitions and attempts to dominate the world and unify the country, which is unstoppable.
He Lianjie was just taking advantage of the situation when he took over Red Tiger City.
When the Helian family's army approaches the city in the future, even if Chihu City does not open its doors and surrender, it will still be conquered, and the people in the city will be displaced and their wives and children will be separated.
The lord of Chihu City was kind-hearted and did not want to see this scene. He Lianjie's rise to power was just a matter of smooth flow.
However, with the commotion of the Helian family, the land of Canglan is afraid that there will be no peace for the time being.
"I don't know what happened to Ji Xue and Zhao Xiaozhu." Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but flash the figures of Ji Xue and Zhao Xiaozhu in his mind, and frowned slightly.
Now that the war is raging and affecting all the major families, they may not be able to stay out of it.
At this moment, an unusually powerful aura suddenly appeared in the area he perceived.
This aura is like a huge water ball condensed by clouds and mist. It contains a terrifying cold aura around it. It constantly revolves around the opponent and can freeze the soul. It seems so restrained and unfathomable.
He is the master of that heaven and earth, overriding all things.
Lu Chen's powerful soul power turned into a thread and swept over it, as if nothing happened, and there was no reaction at all.
"Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a strong man in the False God Realm."
