Chapter 99

In the quiet courtyard, the cold wind blew down the dead leaves on the treetops.

The flowing water rippled across the stone cracks in the upper layer and fell into the bamboo tube until a certain amount. The bamboo tube instantly fell and buckled on the stone below, making a crisp sound.

The afternoon sun was warm. On the edge of the corridor facing the courtyard, there were three people, one old, two young, each holding a Japanese ceramic tea cup with steaming wheat tea.

It seems that the three people are leisurely spending the afternoon.

"Master of dog mountain, your residence is really the best intention of kendo. I think you may be faster?"

It's mainly that Lu Chen and old man Gushan are chatting one by one. Yuan Zhisheng just looks at the waking bamboo in the courtyard in a daze, and even begins to doubt whether he doesn't need to look at Lu Chen at all.

This guy really just came to the master of dog mountain for advice. It seems that he doesn't even have the idea of dueling. Based on his observation of Lu Chen these days, he doesn't look like he can be a lobbyist for president angre.

Moreover, the dog mountain family leader is indeed a faction "close" to the secret party in the snake Qi eight family, but he doesn't think the other party will fall to the secret party at the critical moment.

"It makes me ashamed to say such praise from you. Even if I can be faster, I can't be faster than you."

Gushanhe drank wheat tea and vomited hot air.

"Can you ask the master of dog mountain what level he can be promoted to? The headmaster told me that you are the strongest person with the highest level in the world."

Aside from everything else, Lu Chen still respects people like dog Shanhe. From the fight that day, he can see that the other party's knife has been sharpened for many years, but he hasn't met anyone who wants to cut it.

If it was that person, maybe the knife of dog Shanhe would be faster?

And some of his words are not compliments. In the moment of rank, he is indeed the strongest in the world.

"Eighth order."

In fact, when he was in his best condition, he occasionally reached level 9, but it was obvious that chance could not be counted as strength.

Lu Chen was a little surprised. The legendary dragon butcher Viscount silver wing Charlotte in history had only reached the seventh level, but the old man could climb to the eighth level.

Yuan Zhisheng was also a little surprised. He once practiced with the dog mountain master. The other party had only reached level 7 in front of him. Unexpectedly, the old man still maintained his strength.

"Excuse me, elder, do you have any skills to improve the moment?"

Lu Chen asked for advice with an open mind.

Who knows, dog Shanhe shook his head and said, "there's no good way. In a moment, it's like a knife. The more you sharpen, the faster."

Lu Chen was surprised. The old man said it in Chinese and used puns.

He pondered, "it means that you can use this kind of thing more?"

Dog Shanhe didn't respond to this confirmation question, but turned to Lu Chen. His old face had a pair of bright eyes, with the meaning of examination: "aren't you satisfied with your speed?"

Dog Shanhe thinks that there is always a reason for people to pursue power. Just like he sharpened a knife in 60 years, in order to cut out the extreme speed of the world and surpass that man, that is his goal and the reason for him to become stronger.

And what about this teenager?

According to the information he knows, the boy has not had any setbacks since he "came out of the mountain". No matter what strong enemies are under his knife, he even thinks that the speed of the boy will not be inferior to that man when he breaks out with all his strength.

The teenager is still very young and has a lot of room to improve. Sooner or later, he will surpass that man.

What is he for, pursuing power?

Lu Chen and the old man looked at each other, instantly understood each other's meaning, looked at each other's eyes and said, "if you stop the pursuit of power, what else does it mean?"

Yuan Zhisheng felt that the atmosphere between Lu Chen and the old man had changed. At the moment before, it was still a harmonious conversation between the old man and his younger generation, but at this moment, the atmosphere seemed to become sharp, and there seemed to be a non-existent spark at the junction of two eyes.

Finally, a burst of laughter broke the atmosphere.

GUSHAN he smiled so heroic and happy that he even slapped his hands on his legs. Finally, he looked at Lu Chen: "Lu Jun, you are really pure. Angre has accepted a good student."

Yes, does the pursuit of power have to be similar to revenge, or want to surpass someone's obsession?

The boy is not attached to those things, but he is more pure. He only pursues power for the sake of power. His obsession is power itself!

But this kind of pure... Is evil. He has seen too many young people pursuing power fall into the abyss, such as members of the fierce ghosts, and wise ashuya of the Kanto branch.

"What the elder said is wrong. Strictly speaking, my mentor is Schneider. Of course, in a broad sense, we are all students of President angre."

Lu Chen smiled and said. He also picked up the tea cup and drank wheat tea. It was a little cold.

Dog mountain he looked at Lu Chen's clear eyes and thought of what the teenager had done these days. He felt a little distracted. He was a person who could separate pursuit from daily life. Maybe such a child would be more likely to be happy.

Suddenly, he felt that if the recent rumors in the family came true, it would be good. Lu Chen was indeed a good match for the Lord of Shangshan family.

"I hear you hate hot weapons. Why?"

At this time, Yuan Zhisheng didn't speak and asked an inexplicable question.

They investigated the information of the teenager. The other party never used cold weapons or auxiliary hot weapons. In some cases, it would be more convenient to use guns.

Lu Chen was silent and said, "I've been thinking about why guns were invented."

The other two did not interrupt. They knew that the boy was not asking them.

"Is it to pursue more powerful force? Is it to let the weak have the power to rival the strong? Is it to show that man goes further in the process of fighting with nature?"

Lu Chen shook his head and sighed: "later, I found that they were not. At least I don't think so. My teacher told me that guns were invented to reduce people's guilt."

"Guilt?"

Yuan Zhisheng wondered. In fact, the first few words said by the other party were objectively correct. He didn't understand what Lu Chen wanted to express.

"Yes, when you insert the knife into the enemy's body, your hand can feel the touch of the cold weapon stabbing into the soft body. During this period, you may also touch the hard bones. The sound of friction is transmitted from your hand and straight into your mind. When you turn the blade, the enemy will howl and cry bitterly. Before he dies, he may be ferocious or resentful, or frightened or desperate... It seems that he is counting your life Sin, this voice seems to follow you to your dreams. "

The boy's voice was flat, but it was like a demon's whisper, which made people shudder.

"It sounds really reasonable. It takes more courage to use cold weapons than to kill the enemy with a gun."

Dog Shanhe nodded.

However, Lu Chen shook his head and said, "it's not that I focus on cold weapons in order to show my courage. The teacher told me that killing the enemy with a knife will make you feel guilty, but that's the weight you should bear, and that's the weight of life. Only when you feel that weight can you know what you're doing and remind yourself that you're killing all the time."

He paused and continued: "... When you can't feel the weight, you will become a machine that can only kill, and you won't be a person. Using guns will blur the boundary of this weight. The teacher said that in his opinion, most people who only use guns are cowards."

After hearing the young man's remarks, they were silent for a long time.

"You have a good teacher."

For a long time, dog Shanhe said with admiration.

Yuan Zhisheng feels strange. As far as he knows, Lu Chen has two teachers. One is a teacher who runs a martial arts school. He heard that his martial arts are good, but he has never committed any crime to chop people or other creatures.

The other is Schneider, the current director of the executive department of Kassel college. It's really an old embryo killer, but he thinks that according to Schneider's character, it's the first thing to destroy the enemy talents by all means. As for guilt, it's only after going to hell.

This kind of words really don't seem to be what Schneider would say, but like the words of a wise old master who has been on the battlefield.

However, aware that the atmosphere seemed dignified, he smiled and said, "according to you, Caesar in your group is not also a coward. I heard that he is good at guns."

Lu Chen shook his head and smiled, "brother Caesar is different. At the critical moment, he is also a hero who can carry a knife and cut."

…………

Dog Shanhe looked at the back of Yuan Zhisheng and Lu Chen. For a moment, he felt really old. He was so old that he was defeated by the teacher's new disciple in all aspects.

After Yuan Zhisheng and Lu Chen get on the bus, Ying starts the car and drives out of the private house of the dog mountain family.

"By the way, you really don't want to compete with me?"

Lu Chen turned to Yuan Zhisheng, who was lighting cigarettes. He was very interested in this young man who was several years older than himself. He should be a good strong man he saw after he came to Japan, and he seemed to be very good at Japanese sabre.

Yuan Zhisheng spits out a mouthful of smoke, "I can't beat you."

Such a straightforward admission blocked Lu Chen's words behind.

"I heard from Caesar yesterday that you are the owner of Genji family in the underworld. I heard that you have to succeed as the eldest parent of all the underworld. To be honest, I don't think you are like a underworld."

Lu Chen said, taking out the iron box from his chest pocket, took out a gaoxiba that he hadn't touched since he saw the painted pear clothes and handed it to Yuan Zhisheng: "in the words of brother Caesar, men should smoke this."

Yuan Zhisheng was stunned and took it. He didn't expect Lu Chen to take the initiative to talk to him.

"What should the underworld look like in your imagination?"

Yuan Zhisheng used his fingers like a knife to remove the front end and took a sip. It's really the best, like the taste of that Sao Bao's second-class Italian goods.

"Fighting in the streets, collecting protection fees, bullying the bottom people, forcing good people to become prostitutes and so on."

Every time Lu Chen says a word, Yuan Zhisheng's face is gloomy, but he can't refute it. Even if the purpose of the snake Qi eight family is bright, what Lu Chen said can't be avoided. Some mice will do it.

"I haven't done what you said, but I've done worse."

Yuan Zhisheng looked out of the window and couldn't see his eyes from Lu Chen's point of view, but suddenly, he felt that this serious man was filled with a sad breath, and his momentum was also low. For a time, it was reminiscent of the loser dog that had been drenched in the rain.

That feeling is not so much that they have done bad things, as that they have extremely regretful things. Regret is engraved into the soul like a red soldering iron, and reincarnation can't be erased!

But the other party is the superior young master of the eight snake Qi families and the future Mafia emperor. What can make him feel so regretful?

The mobile phone rang at this time, breaking the suddenly heavy atmosphere in the car. Lu Chen looked at it, smiled and said, "since you want to follow me, it's better to drink a bar together that night."

Yuan Zhisheng looked back and was stunned. He didn't understand the brain circuit of this reckless man. Are we so familiar?

After this afternoon, he had lost his mind to monitor Lu Chen. The boy didn't seem to be the kind of person who would come recklessly regardless of the safety of the public.

He also read yesterday's report. The teenager rushed all the way from the peninsula hotel to the rock flow research institute. He tried to choose places with few people. When there were people, he would deliberately slow down to avoid hurting the general public, otherwise he might be faster.

The only thing he had doubts about was that all the monitoring on the main road leading to the rock flow Institute inexplicably failed that day, but judging from the time when the teenager arrived, he didn't seem to stop halfway.

Anyway, he was ready to send Lu Chen back to the hotel, but he didn't expect that the other party would invite him to drink at this time, and it seemed that two other second goods would also be present.

He should have refused, but somehow he nodded. Now the fierce ghosts are weak, geological exploration has been put on the agenda, and the risk of war with the college has been avoided. His rare mood is a little relaxed.

Perhaps he was also curious about the boy. He wanted to know why a boy who came out of a remote place sometimes showed warrior eyes.

…………

In the evening, Yuan Zhisheng sat on the leather sofa with a dull look.

He looked at those two goods and was speechless. What kind of brain circuit was this? He thought of drinking and chatting between men at night and coming to a place like Gao Tianyuan!

"Brother Caesar, I think you can let them leave first."

Lu Chen pointed to Mr. Niu Lang, who was sitting on his left and looked a little embarrassed. He thought it was awkward for a man to serve and chat next to him.

"Now that you're here, of course, you should experience the characteristics here, but it's really different from what I imagined. You go down first."

Caesar waved his hand. He didn't have the habit of letting men talk with him, and he felt that the somewhat "delicate" cowherd sitting next to him looked at him and gradually became wrong.

"Open four more bottles of champagne."

Caesar snapped his fingers and reminded the cowboys who had left.

Looking at the high spirited appearance of this Italian gentleman, I don't think it's embarrassing for four big men to come to the top Niulang shop in Japan.

"I said brother Caesar, you are not afraid of the news reaching the college."

Lu Chen looked at the surrounding environment. He had thought that he would come to eat and drink. Unexpectedly, Gao Tianyuan would be such an "enchanting" place. If it was photographed by a paparazzi like finger, it would be sent back to the college.
