At that time, Lao Bai, the traveling doctor, was walking lamely on the official road, with a rag bag hanging on his waist, holding a roasted chicken leg in his left hand, and his face was greasy from eating.
Because of the plague, Lao Bai had never seen any other residents since he entered the western suburbs. The moonlight was so silent, as if he was the only living person in the whole world.
“Shasha… Shashasha…”
Lao Bai suddenly stopped. In the silent night, he looked up at the sky. A dark cloud quietly covered most of the moonlight, and the sky darkened in an instant.
There were footsteps behind him.
The voice was very close, right behind him.
Lao Bai even had a feeling that the person seemed to be close to his back, and he seemed to hear his breathing.
But, ghosts, can they really breathe?
At that moment, Lao Bai's heart was in a state of confusion.
He stopped and secretly guessed.
If the ghost has no footsteps, what is behind him?
Lao Bai suddenly turned around and saw a shrill scream in the night. The next day, there was an extra body on the official road.
Lao Bai, the foot doctor, died. Before he died, he still clutched the gnawed chicken leg tightly with his left hand, but there were two bloody holes on his neck as thick as a little finger.
His body was tense all over, his face was blue, and his body was locked together tightly, as if there was only a layer of skin left, tightly constricting the bones.
Rumors of zombies appeared in the western suburbs, and this is where they started.
Different time, same people, six people who separated in a hurry at Jackdaw Ferry last time, met again on the official road in the western suburbs.
But this time, everyone was quiet and no one was joking anymore.
Tao Ziming closed his eyes and never opened them since the moment he came down the mountain.
All the fellow apprentices looked at him curiously, but all of them did not ask whether he was really blind.
Because even though Tao Ziming didn't open his eyes, his behavior along the way was no different from that of a normal person.
Next to him, Li Wuyou had been following Tao Ziming since the moment he came down the mountain. He had never seen Tao Ziming open his eyes.
But Tao Ziming didn't need anyone to guide him. He didn't even need any tools to help him find the route. It was as if he could really see everything even with his eyes closed.
This miraculous performance, I have to say, instantly piqued the curiosity of several fellow apprentices.
The determination that they had accumulated for a year to compete with each other disappeared in an instant when they faced Tao Ziming. Because they had not seen each other for a year, they found that this man seemed to have become stronger again.
He obviously didn't do anything or say anything, but there was always a strong aura about him, which once made several brothers feel breathless.
Of all the people present, the one who knew Tao Ziming best was probably Li Wuyou, the disciple of the Sixth Elder.
Before going down the mountain, the Sixth Elder once told him that when the Heart Sword reaches its highest level, it does not need eyes or even ears.
Everything in the world, every move, is under his control.
The newly promoted to the highest level, not only can predict the enemy's opportunities, but also understand what the opponent is going to do before they take action.
And because there are no restrictions on vision and hearing, the attack speed is faster and more decisive, and the blow is often fatal.
Li Wuyou asked his master: "Since the Heart Sword is so powerful, why doesn't the master ask the second elder for help?
If every disciple of President Qingshan learned the Heart Sword, wouldn't our sect become stronger and stronger? "
At that time, the Sixth Elder looked at Li Wuyou and smiled faintly: "The Heart Sword is not Wan Mucheng's exclusive secret skill. There are already samples of this sword technique in the sword pavilion, but no one has mastered it over the years."
"No one has mastered it? Could it be that not even the second elder has mastered it?" When Li Wuyou heard what his master said at that time, he realized that this second senior brother Tao Ziming was not simple.
"Yes, the Heart Sword back then was discovered by the second elder Liu Changkong. It's just that this old boy was half-trained and became possessed in the middle.
The result is what it is now. Since then, the whole person has been sloppy and even crazy!
You must know that before practicing the Heart Sword, Liu Changkong was the most popular person in our Qingshan Sect and had the best rapport with the opposite sex.
What does it mean to be surrounded by thousands of flowers without a single leaf touching you? Compared with what happened to Liu Changkong back then, these things really pale into insignificance.
In the entire Shizhou City, half of the women fell in love with him.
Liu Changkong, who had not changed back then, seemed to be as handsome and graceful as ever. Unfortunately, just because he practiced the Heart Sword, he became more and more slovenly.
And just because of his unkempt appearance, as his charm declined, the number of disciples who wanted to join our Qingshan Sect also decreased at the same time. "
On Huangji Peak, when Li Wuyou listened to his master telling these past events.
Still can't believe it.
Because he had met the second elder Liu Changkong several times.
It's hard to imagine that such a sloppy old man would have so many women crazy about him back then.
It was from this day that he understood why no one in Qingshan Sect could successfully practice this Heart Sword?
However, what the Sixth Elder said next once again shocked his soul: "I heard that there was a rumor recently that Tao Ziming, the talented swordsman of our Qingshan Sect, was unfortunately blind and became a blind man.
No one had ever seen him open his eyes. From what you described last time, the second elder must have taught him how to practice the Heart Sword.
Judging from the current rumors, I am afraid that this boy has already perfected the refining of the Heart Sword. "
At that time, Li Wuyou nodded: "It took a year to practice the Heart Sword to perfection. It shouldn't be that difficult, right?"
The Sixth Elder at that time gave him a big shock: "You idiot! Do you think this Heart Sword is really so easy to practice?
The Heart Sword is so powerful, why do only the two elders of Qingshan Sect have a glimpse of it?
Do you really think that just because of the side effects of Heart Sword, a person's image will be damaged? "
Li Wuyou touched his head, feeling a little aggrieved: "But Master, isn't this what you said?"
As a result, he received another big slap from the Sixth Elder: "Wrong, big mistake!
You underestimate people's desire for power. They don't give up the Heart Sword because of this small side effect, because they simply have no way to practice it.
Because there is a crucial prerequisite for practicing the Heart Sword, that is, you must have an innocent heart.
Now Tao Ziming has mastered the Heart Sword in just one year. This person's talent is probably rare to see in a hundred years. "
