Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

After Lu Hou'er told Gui Ba and left the manor, he took a few good men with him and carried a box with a wooden knife hidden on his back. He galloped to Wu Wanzhong's home with his horse and whip, and the rushing water could not suppress the heat in his heart.

It's not that he has any idol plot against Zhao Laodao, nor is he dissatisfied with Gu Li.

Simply because after a conversation with Meng Zhao, he realized that there might be a huge undercurrent behind the life and death secrets of these two people, which might even affect the future situation, which gave him a sense of mission to influence history.

He never thought he would have such an influence, so the emotions he brought became even more profound.

This Wu Wanzhong is not well-known in Yanzhou, but he is well-known in Kaiming City. He is known as a sharp sword. Not long ago, he completed the cultivation of Qi and became a sword. The sword is as fast as a meteor. A leaf can be cut into thirty-two pieces without damaging the leaf body outside the cutting surface. The mysterious, exquisite and rapid knife skills can be seen.

Moreover, he is a kind-hearted and loyal person, and has a good reputation in the local world. He has worked hard for many years and accumulated a large family fortune. Although he is not a famous figure, he has gradually become a famous figure in the local martial arts and is well respected by his younger generations. He has also tutored some outstanding juniors in martial arts, and has good relations with local high-level forces.

Wu Wanzhong owns five properties in Kaiming City. He usually lives in the center of the city. There is a knife shop he opened there, where he not only teaches swordsmanship but also buys and sells knives. Relying on Wu Wanzhong's reputation, the business is pretty good.

However, at this moment, according to Guiba, he should accompany Zhao Laodao to rest in the side house in the west of the city and prepare for the life and death ritual at night.

The relationship between Zhao Laodao and Wu Wanzhong is quite dramatic.

According to local rumors, the two were enemies. They had conflicts and even fought because of a third party relationship.

However, Zhao Laodao's cultivation level was higher than that of Wu Wanzhong, and he had received sharpening guidance from the Divine Sword Hall, and easily defeated Wu Wanzhong.

Although Zhao Laodao has a bad temper, he is still a quite simple swordsman in the end. He admires Wu Wanzhong's swordsmanship very much. With the help of honing and learning at the Shenjian Hall, he can find out the shortcomings in his swordsmanship. , flaws, and give pointers.

As a result, Wu Wanzhong gained gratitude and friendship, and the relationship between the two became increasingly close. They could be called close friends, and could be regarded as a model of turning enemies into friends.

We are both in the new city, and the Pai Gang is the overlord of the area, and Wu Wanzhong is also an innate swordsman. The two sides have had contact, and their relationship is not far or close, so there is no conflict.

After arriving at the main entrance of the Wu family residence, Lu Houer did not forcefully break in. Instead, he ordered the disciples from the Pai Gang who were following him to call the door and identify themselves.

As the disciples of the Pai Gang stepped forward to snap the head of the Zhumen beast, there were messy footsteps coming from the inside of the door. Then, the door was opened from the inside, and almost twenty people holding steel knives jumped out. A swordsman with a sharp breath.

The attitudes of these swordsmen were not good. They all had murderous intent and sharp eyes. They were obviously ruthless characters who licked blood from their blades. Although they were not in Lu Houer's eyes, they were quite dissatisfied.

It’s not like he has never been to Wu’s house before. How could he encounter such a battle?

Fortunately, he immediately thought that it might be related to Zhao Laodao's retreat here. Wu Wanzhong should be afraid of being disturbed by outsiders, or even someone doing shameful things, so he took precautions in the bud, and his anger calmed down again.

The leader of these people is a young man in his twenties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and slightly thick lips. He is holding a heavy machete with a thick back. His exposed arms are thick and muscular, and his palms are covered with thick calluses from grinding. .

He was originally prepared for the attack, but when he saw Lu Hou'er on horseback, he was immediately startled, but he still didn't dare to be careless.

Lu Hou'er rode his horse forward, held the reins with one hand, looked down at the young man from a high position, and said,

"Wu Xuan, I, Lu Hou'er, don't seem to have offended your master, right? Why am I so kind to come to visit? Is this how you entertain guests?"

He recognized this young man as Wu Wanzhong's son and his eldest disciple. He usually interacted with the outside world as the second person in the Wu family.

Seeing this, Wu Xuan quickly gave a hint to the swordsmen around him. At the same time, he put away the thick-backed machete in his hand, cupped his fists and saluted, and said apologetically,

"Gang leader Lu, please forgive me. My father has a friend resting in the house today. It would be unreasonable for others to disturb him, so I am a bit extreme. Please forgive me."

"Gang Leader Lu came here today. Do you have something to tell my father?"

Lu Hou'er jumped off the horse lightly, threw the reins to the Pai Gang disciples behind him, nodded and said,

"Yes, I have something to tell your father. To be precise, it has something to do with the man in your house."

Wu Xuan was calm at first, but when he heard Lu Houer's last sentence, he was stunned. Isn't that person in his house the reason why the Wu family is so vigilant now?

Wu Xuan originally wanted to refuse this. First of all, his father and Zhao Laodao were close friends, and now Zhao Laodao had a life-and-death battle tonight. He should not be disturbed by others, as it would disrupt his fighting spirit and determination, so as not to affect the performance of the subsequent battle.

Secondly, he also worked with Zhao Laodao on the acupoint knife. He combined what he had learned from his family and the principles of swordsmanship taught by Zhao Laodao. May the other side be affected outside the market.

However, this person is Lu Hou'er, the leader of the Pai Gang and the overlord of the party. He is not someone the Wu family can easily offend.

The most important thing is that Wu Xuan can see that Lu Houer's trip does not seem to have much malicious intent. It should not be to harm Zhao Laodao. In this case, it does not mean that he cannot be taken to see his father and Zhao Laodao.

Moreover, Wu Xuan suspected that Lu Houer might be the one who came to find peace between Gu Li and others to mediate and make peace with tonight's life and death battle.

The Art of Life and Death is different from ordinary battles. You don't just have to admit defeat and you can escape unscathed.

On the contrary, once you officially enter the art of life and death and enter the ring, there is only one ending. The winner will step down, and the loser will die. As for the best result, it is just to die together.

Therefore, under the Art of Life and Death, no one will treat it as ordinary. Even the most confident people, even those who have full confidence in it, will be worried and afraid about whether an accident will happen.

Before life and death are determined, all predictions are unpredictable.

Wu Xuan was naturally worried that something might happen to Zhao Laodao, but he was not strong enough to persuade him to withdraw from the Art of Life and Death. If Lu Houer came forward this time, given his identity and status, things might really turn around.

Thinking of this, I immediately swallowed back the words I wanted to refuse, and nodded,

"Okay, I'll take Gang Leader Lu to see my father immediately."

With that said, he waved away the surrounding swordsmen, and at the same time took the initiative to lead the way, bringing Lu Hou'er and his party into the mansion.
