Chapter 43 You do better than me(2/3)
"Those who control the cycle of life and death will have a ruler for the will of the prison lord of the underworld.
The young master has not yet reached the time of reincarnation, but he just strayed into the realm of hell.
Therefore, even if the prison master of Huangquan is unwilling to help the young master, he will not be in trouble when the time comes."
The prison master of Huangquan will not make things difficult for him.
Although the illusion at this time is strange, it is definitely not a killing situation.
So, this should be a test.
Climbing is difficult!
Then let's take one step at a time and see what the Lord of the Underworld wants.
Lu Qingshan held Tianzhen in hand and walked down the mountain quickly.
...
I don’t know the year on the mountain.
After five or six years of learning swordsmanship on the mountain, Lu Qingshan came down the mountain and discovered that the peaceful and prosperous age in Li Zhao's memory was actually somewhat chaotic.
The emperor of the current dynasty was a man who cherished old friendships. After ascending to the throne, he rewarded the heroes who had followed him in overthrowing the previous dynasty with great rewards and promotions.
The heroes knew that it was not easy to establish a dynasty, and they behaved fairly. However, their children had never experienced those days of bloody battles. They only knew how to be arrogant and domineering, making the people miserable.
If it is said that prosperity must decline, then this decline comes too quickly.
Just after entering the first city, Lu Qingshan saw the young prince of the Julu Wang family galloping on the street on horseback.
Not far in front of the horse, there was a panicked girl.
The next moment is a human tragedy.
Lu Qingshan frowned, and narrowly saved the girl from under the horse's hooves, but in doing so, he overturned the prince's horse.
The young prince fell off his horse and was furious, so he sent his slaves to teach Lu Qingshan a lesson.
Although his spiritual power was gone, his swordsmanship was still there. Instead, Lu Qingshan gave the young prince a lesson and cut his hamstring so that he could no longer ride a horse.
Lu Qingshan left gracefully.
In order to find the exit from the illusion, Lu Qingshan traveled around the world, and when he encountered injustice, he would take action. With his swordsmanship, he made a great name in the vast world and was known as the best swordsman in the world.
Having a great reputation has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages.
Because this reputation spread to the ears of the current emperor.
The emperor of the current dynasty fought his way out of the Yue Kingdom on the battlefield. He was a man who loved martial arts throughout his life as a soldier.
The Julu King hated Lu Qingshan for cutting off his son's hamstring, so he suggested that the sword in Lu Qingshan's hand was the best sword in the world.
The emperor was delighted to see the hunter
On this day, the eunuch who delivered the edict came to Lu Qingshan and delivered the emperor's imperial edict.
"Your Majesty is willing to buy the sword in your hand with thousands of gold and generous salary." said the eunuch who delivered the order.
The eunuch waved, and someone carried several huge boxes. When the boxes were opened, they were all filled with golden gold.
Lu Qingshan closed his eyes and refused to hand over his sword.
"Your Majesty is the lord of the world. It is your honor to take a fancy to your sword. How dare you resist the order and be disrespectful?" The expression of the eunuch who delivered the order gradually turned cold.
"The swordsman's sword is the swordsman's life and cannot be given away." Lu Qingshan said.
"I don't know if your sword is your life, but I know that if you don't give it to me, His Majesty will take your life." The eunuch who delivered the order threatened.
Lu Qingshan shook his head.
The eunuch who passed the order couldn't bear it anymore, took a few steps back, and gave the order, "Come here, kill me!"
In addition to gold, the eunuch who delivered the message also brought an entire army.
Naturally, Lu Qingshan had already realized that he was surrounded by the army.
But he still chose to refuse.
Because the sword protects the swordsman, and when necessary, the swordsman must also protect the sword.
First there was a volley of thousands of arrows, followed by a light cavalry charge.
Lu Qingshan's swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle of the world, but ordinary swordsmanship will never be able to defeat the heavens. He killed with blood and struggled to break out of the siege, but was seriously injured.
Half a year later, the serious injury was difficult to treat and the breath was weak.
He still hasn't found the exit from the illusion.
He knows that he will not die, but since he has not been able to find the exit, it means that he has failed this test.
Lu Qingshan felt a little regretful, but there was nothing he could do about it.
He decided to go back to the mountain and take a look at his master before he died.
It was still the same mountain road full of peach blossoms. Just walking on it, Lu Qingshan found that the clouds and mist were shrouded in fog, and the scene changed drastically.
It has changed back to the narrow mountain road in Daishan Mountain.
A man appeared in front of the mountain road, holding a sword in his hand.
The Sword of Innocence.
The figure gradually became clearer.
Li Zhao.
Lu Qingshan was startled and looked at himself again.
It has been restored to its original appearance, and spiritual power is flowing continuously in the body.
"Master, what happened to you just now?" Qin Yitian's voice rang in his heart, "I keep calling you, but you don't respond."
Lu Qingshan shook his head and gently comforted Yi Tian: "It's okay."
Then, Lu Qingshan moved forward and held hands with Li Zhao.
Li Zhao looked at Lu Qingshan and said nothing for a long time.
Lu Qingshan waited silently.
After a long time, he finally said, "What's your name?"
"Lu Qingshan."
"Lu Qingshan..." Li Zhao murmured, feeling complicated.
After a while, Li Zhao spoke again: "The emperor wants to show you a sword, but it's just a dead thing. Why would you rather die than give it to me?"
"Because I am a swordsman."
"Sword cultivator?" Li Zhao frowned.
"A true sword cultivator must have something in his heart that he wants to protect. It is a sword, a person, or even the whole world." Lu Qingshan said calmly: "Since it is my sword, I must protect her.
"
Li Zhao was thoughtful, silent for a long time, and sighed: "No matter how high my talent in swordsmanship is and how superb my swordsmanship is, without this protective heart, I will not be a qualified swordsman after all."
"I understand." Li Zhao nodded and thanked Lu Qingshan: "Thank you."
Immediately, Li Zhao waved his hand.
A picture of light and shadow appeared in front of Lu Qingshan's eyes.
The same scene, the same eunuch delivering the message, the same gold and army.
Faced with this difficult choice, Li Zhao hesitated for a long time.
The master once told him that this sword cannot be given to anyone.
But in this situation, do we really have to fight for a sword and a dead thing?
He's not sure.
After thinking for a long time, Li Zhao handed over the sword in his hand.
After one month.
The eunuch ordered the eunuch to lead the army and surrounded and killed Li Zhao with thousands of horses.
Li Zhao was furious, didn't he hand over the sword?
The eunuch who delivered the order smiled coldly and remained silent.
At the critical moment of life and death, the master appeared, holding a sword, and the sword intent penetrated through his bones.
A white-haired old swordsman with an imposing manner slashed at Qianqi.
The eunuch who delivered the order pointed at Li Zhao's master and said in a trembling voice: "Li Jian Shen."
Li Jianshen is the most popular person in Zhao country.
He once defeated the entire martial arts community of Zhao State with one sword, and was invited as a guest by the Emperor of Zhao State.
