Luo Guan cannot be a saint, but he is probably still a somewhat soft-hearted person.
The more people there are, the richer the atmosphere of the world. After walking on the long street for a while, Luo Guan saw a low shantytown. Most of them fled to Suiyuan City from other places to avoid the threat of war. At this time, it was time for dinner, with countless smoke rising from cooking stoves, and children running and playing, creating a noisy scene.
For other practitioners, they would naturally not like this chaotic environment, but it is exactly what Luo Guan needs now.
The owners of the shanty town are wealthy households in the city. A horse farm with a large area was originally built here, and it is a well-known gold-drawing land. After the war broke out, the wealthy households did not hesitate to demolish the horse farm, transform the place into a shantytown to accommodate disaster victims, and donate all their horses to the garrison.
"Mr. Xu is a good man. If it weren't for him, we people would have to sleep on the street." The old man leaning on the roadside looked grateful and raised his finger and pointed, "Here, I see the one who looks a little rich in a blue robe." No? That's Mr. Xu. If you want to rent here, just go to him directly."
Luo Guan thanked him and came to Master Xu to explain his purpose. Master Xu looked him up and down and asked, "Are you a cultivator who is rushing to help Suiyuan City?"
"...So be it."
The answer was a little vague, but Mr. Xu still nodded, "In that case, you can just stay here without paying any fees."
He ordered his servants to take Luo Guan to settle things.
The residence is under a locust tree, a simple wooden house with nothing in it except a bed. But when the war is raging, it is very rare to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Luo Guan stayed here. There was no chair, so he moved a piece of gravel and sat at the door watching people coming and going.
After a while, someone came over and invited him to have dinner with him. Luo Guan thanked him and declined, but after the little girl left, she ran back, put a bowl of noodles next to him, raised her head and smiled sweetly, turned around and ran away.
Luo Guan looked at the steaming noodles, and then at the little girl's back, with a smile on his lips. After thinking about it, he picked up the bowl of noodles and ate it all.
When the little girl came to collect the bowl, Luo Guan knew her name, Li Qiuqiu.
Asked why she was called this name, Li Qiuqiu tilted her head and thought for a long time, and said that her father gave her the name, and she would not know until his father came back two days later and asked him. He also made an agreement with Luo Guan to tell him when the time comes. Luo Guan smiled and nodded.
Under the Tongtian Bones, Xuan Turtle's face showed relief. If he wanted to use the breath of the human world for his own use, he needed to be in the human world. And this kid Luo Guan has now done it. Although he can soar to the nine heavens, he has never forgotten where his roots are.
"Luo Guan, I am about to start my apprenticeship. When the breath of the human world is absorbed into the body, the true intention of killing will definitely react. You must be careful and suppress it."
What exactly is the breath of the world? Luo Guan didn't know very well. He couldn't even detect the obvious power fluctuations, but the reaction of the killing sword intent was enough to prove that the black turtle had already taken action.
The roaring in his mind became more and more crazy, as if millions of people spoke at the same time, the sound waves gathered together and poured into his consciousness.
"Relax your mind and accept the true meaning of killing. This is your destiny!"
"Luo Guan, killing has chosen you. You are the incarnation of the end of all things. Why bother struggling?"
"Become one with Killing, and you will gain supreme power, and everything will crawl at your feet!"
"If you fight against the killer, you will be rejected by the killer, and eventually fall into the abyss of destruction, and you will never be able to escape!"
Luo Guan's eyes became darker and darker, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said softly: "I've been through this a long time ago."
Luo Guan didn't sleep that night, and it wasn't until dawn that the roar that had been blasting in his mind all night finally fell silent.
Black Turtle's tired voice sounded, "Rest during the day and continue at night."
Pushing the door open and going out, a new neighbor came next door and was busy allocating accommodation. Mr. Xu, whom he met yesterday, was also busy and saw Luo Guan coming out to say hello with a smile.
Luo Guan nodded in response and sat on the same stone as yesterday. After a while, Li Qiuqiu brought another bowl of noodles. This time Luo Guan saw her mother, a young woman with a slightly round face, standing in the distance. Wait for your daughter to come back.
Luo Guan stood up and saluted. She smiled implicitly, but did not come forward to say anything.
Li Qiuqiu said that her father would be back the day after tomorrow and would bring her delicious candies, with a look of excitement and anticipation on his face.
Suiyuan City is collecting various supplies to prepare for the upcoming war. The young men in the city will receive a certain amount of food distribution if they help with work, so Li Qiuqiu's father volunteered.
Luo Guan said that it must be a delicious candy. Li Qiuqiu nodded proudly and said that it was for sure.
The woman shouted, and Li Qiuqiu stuck out his tongue to say goodbye, and said that he would come back to get the bowls and chopsticks at noon, so that he could eat them while they were hot.
What a cute little girl!
Luo Guan ate his second bowl of noodles. At noon, he grabbed Li Qiuqiu and told her that from now on she would only give her one bowl of noodles every day, and patted his belly to show that he was not hungry.
Li Qiuqiu didn't believe it, but after thinking about it, she nodded. There wasn't much noodles at home, but it would be fine when her father came back. Then she would treat him to two bowls... no, three bowls!
As night fell, the black turtle began to absorb the breath of the world again. Luo Guan returned to the room in advance, ready to fight against the true intention of killing.
This time there was no roar, only the murderous intent billowing in his heart, as if the stormy waves were charging crazily, trying to break Luo Guan's mind.
There was a sudden knock on the door. Luo Guan didn't want to pay attention, but the person who came was very patient. A simple knock on the door now made the young man feel endlessly irritated and violent in his heart.
Opening his eyes, the young man's eyes were slightly red in the darkness. He lowered his head slightly and opened the door, "What's the matter?"
There were three people outside the door, headed by a middle-aged man, followed by a young man and woman.
"Brother, we met yesterday at the city gate, and now we are neighbors. It shows that there is some fate. Mr. Xu ordered someone to prepare a table of wine and food. I have come to invite brother to come over and have a drink together. Let's get to know each other. ." The middle-aged man spoke with a smile and a sincere tone.
Inside the door, the young man lowered his head, "It's inconvenient."
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, "Ahem, it's my fault..."
Bang——
The door is closed!
The young man behind him was about to rush over and kick the door, but was held back by the middle-aged man, "Okay, if they don't want to, we'll just leave."
"Excessive! This man is simply unreasonable. He doesn't think that just because he wears a three-piece suit, he is truly a senior swordsman, right?" His roar could still be heard in the distance.
The woman also huffed and looked dissatisfied.
The middle-aged man took a look at the wooden house with the door closed, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a lingering fear in his heart. It was as if he had passed by something extremely terrifying without even realizing it.
Probably, he was a little nervous because he was about to take action tomorrow.
"Well, now that I can be influenced by Senior Sword Immortal, the people who come to help the Western Region are all good men. Maybe something is really wrong with them."
At dawn, Luo Guan opened the door and walked out, his eyes bloodshot. He leaned on the stone, basking in the warm sun, and fell asleep directly.
When he woke up, Li Qiuqiu was sitting next to him, teasing the ants on the ground with a small wooden stick, and drawing a few lines from time to time. He felt that the ants had been assigned a difficult task, and cheered them up beside him, saying "little ant, little ant" , you must work hard, the great devil Li Qiuqiu will be defeated by you.
Luo Guan laughed out loud, and the little girl blushed and said, why are you eavesdropping on people? She got up and ran away with a stamp of her feet. But not long after, he came back with another bowl of noodles, saying that the portion was a little less today. Luo Guan clearly saw her swallowing.
"You didn't eat?"
Li Qiuqiu shook his head, but under Luo Guan's gaze, he nodded again and said that these were the only noodles left at home.
He also said that daddy would be back tomorrow and there would be food at home by then.
Luo Guan touched her little head, picked up the noodles and took Li Qiuqiu home, where he met her mother again. After thanking her sincerely, she said that he was a practitioner and it was okay to go without food for several days.
At his insistence, mother and daughter shared the bowl of noodles. Li Qiuqiu kept telling her that she was full and asked her to eat more.
Luo Guan looked back and saw this scene and felt that she was really a well-behaved and sensible child. If he could have such a daughter in the future, he would be satisfied.
