There's a Madman Sharpening His Knife at Night

Lu Hu fell asleep while soaking in the hot bath. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were filled with white.

He looked up and saw that the sky was filled with thick clouds, and crystal snowflakes were floating down one after another.

There was already a layer of powdery snow on the ground and roof tiles in the backyard.

When Lu Hu woke up, he felt that all the fatigue in his mind and body had been swept away, and he was filled with inexhaustible energy.

The charcoal fire under the tank had been extinguished at some point, and the water in the tank had become lukewarm, but Lu Hu, who was soaking in it, did not feel cold, but instead felt cool and comfortable.

He stretched out his hand, and snowflakes fell on his palm. He watched the small ice crystals on it melt quickly and turned into a drop of snow.

"Is winter coming?"

He stood up and came out of the tank, exuding a fresh smell, and the cool breeze was blowing under his crotch. His feet stepped on the cool snow, and his muscles and bones felt light, a bit like flying in the clouds.

The sky was gray and dim, and Lu Hu didn't know how long he had slept.

But he knew he was leaving.

There is an undercurrent of a group of crazy Puritan Cults outside the city, and they don’t know what they are planning.

There is also the woman from Spring Breeze and Drizzle Tower in the city.

This Baishui City is no longer a place to stay for a long time, so it is better to leave quickly while the city is still calm.

He is just a wanderer, where can he live? He didn't want to wade into this muddy water.

Lu Hu went back to his room, put on his clothes and started packing his things.

There are not many things, a few martial arts books are stored close to the body, a tiger bone wine gourd is pinned to the waist, the long knife and dagger are wrapped in linen and held in the hand, and the dagger is tied to the inside of the calf and hidden.

A bag of three hundred taels of silver was carried on his back, and finally he put a bamboo hat on his head.

This is considered all the belongings.

After everything was packed up, Lu Hu looked at his small courtyard. He was still regretting that he didn't live in it long enough during the lease period and wasted money. At the same time, he felt a sense of reluctance to part with the first small courtyard he had ever owned. Affection.

He walked around the three rooms as a kind of farewell.

When I turned to the backyard, I suddenly remembered that I had buried a pack of daggers in the ground.

After thinking about it, he dug out the dagger, selected the best quality one, and hid it in the baggage.

After reburying the rest, Lu Hu went out and locked the door with a copper lock.

After throwing the key into the yard, he turned around and strode away.

He first went to the medicine shop and asked the clerk to spend all his money to prepare him six sets of medicinal materials for medicinal baths, spending ninety taels of silver in one breath.

Then I went to the clothing store last time and spent ten taels of silver to buy three pairs of boots made of thick materials and three sets of clothes, two gray and one blue.

After he came out, he had a bamboo basket on his body, and he stuffed all his luggage into it.

When passing by a bookstore, he went in and asked if there was a map of Qingzhou for sale.

After buying a map, I went to Qingfeng Tower.

We went directly to the top floor and ordered a banquet and two pots of refreshing breeze.

Still sitting by the window, looking at the snow falling more and more outside, drinking and eating while looking at the map.

The map is still very rough and not drawn to scale at all.

It just marked the general directions of all the cities in Qingzhou's territory, including the line connecting it with Baishui City, and marked the distance. You still have to ask someone for the details.

Lu Hu clearly saw that there were three cities around Baishui City, Lanjiang City, Dingbei City, and the largest city in Qingzhou, Anyang City!

After seeing the words "Anyang City", Lu Hu sneered again and again.

In Anyang City, I have to pay a blood debt.

The Senluo Society in the city was still unwilling to let him go even after he had fled into the mountains, and still sent troops into the mountains to hunt him down.

If he hadn't borrowed the escape route prepared by Scarface, he still couldn't tell what situation he would have been in.

Such a persistent pursuit would make even the clay figurine very angry, let alone Lu Hu?

But now is not the time for debt collection.

Lu Hu thought to himself that after he broke through and practiced Zang, he would at least go to Anyang City!

Now he just wants to avoid the storm and break through as soon as possible to practice Zang.

He chose Dingbei City, which was seventy miles away from Baishui City.

After I was full and full, I ordered some roast chicken pancakes to be packed. When I was paying, I asked the waiter about Dingbei City and how to get there after leaving the city.

Then he left the city all the way and headed straight to Dingbei City.

After Lu Hu came out of Baishui City, the sky was getting darker and darker.

He followed the official road for seven or eight miles and entered a forest. When he walked, the forest became darker.

The tall trees are like canopies, and the tops of the trees cannot be seen unless you lean back.

The tree trunks were tall and straight, and the dark green leaves covered the sky. The surroundings seemed deep and quiet, so that Lu Hu could only hear the crunching sound of the snow he stepped on.

Lu Hu's walking posture also changed from the past and became extremely strange. While walking on tiptoes, he tried his best to push his center of gravity downwards.

As a result, there are two forces entangled in the body, up and down.

This is the practice of the basic skills of the Whirlwind Sweeping Leg, which can independently exercise the leg muscles, enhance leg strength and temper the foot bones.

They happened to be walking, so Lu Hu used it at this time.

When he first started walking like this, he didn't feel anything bad, but as time went by and he walked more distances, just from the white breath exhaling from his mouth and nose, you could tell that he was beginning to feel strenuous.

After Lu Hu's training, his height and weight increased significantly. Now he only uses his toes to support his weight. At the same time, he also sinks his center of gravity. You can imagine the pressure on his two toes.

It was obviously a snowy night, but Lu Hu walked away feeling steamy all over.

When your mouth is dry, take off the wine gourd from your waist and drink to quench your thirst.

Wait until he finally passed through this dark forest.

He saw a vast snow-capped mountain field in front of him, and the moon had climbed up to the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain looks like a fine carving, with a gentle diagonal line emerging from there, extending downward. The top of the mountain is covered with silver.

At the foot of the distant mountains, the cedar forest is covered with a thin layer of snow. The fir trees stand out clearly on the snow, stretching sharply towards the sky.

Lu Hu's toes, which had been standing on tiptoe, had fallen down unconsciously.

He stood firm and looked up. The Milky Way seemed to be pouring down into his heart with a crash.

The night sky is like a soft black ribbon, dotted with bright stars, which are clearly visible and look like grains of silver sand, extremely clear.

The vast Milky Way hangs in front of you, as if it wants to embrace the vast night earth with its naked body. It is really beautiful and amazing.

Even in his previous life, Lu Hu had never seen the Milky Way, nor had he seen such an unbelievable number of stars in the sky.

Amidst the glittering stars, they seemed to be falling slowly at an illusory speed. The stars moved closer to the eyes, pushing the night sky further and further away, and the night became darker and darker.
