Chapter 253: Dividing the Loot
Lu Bei and others didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise after the battle.
They entered the process of distributing the spoils.
It turned out that when cleaning the battlefield, Lu Bei accidentally discovered that Mo Feng and Li Xingyun actually had two top-grade storage magic weapons, storage rings.
Moreover, their storage rings actually contained a large amount of cultivation resources, spirit stones, and even some skills.
He is indeed a person from a top immortal sect. The resources he carries with him are more than what a branch of the Blood Moon Sect has looted, not counting the value of the storage ring.
Lu Bei took out all the things and piled them up into a small hill in the forest.
He asked everyone to take what they needed and take whatever they liked.
Except for Miss Xiao He, Jiang Nan and Lu Xiaohu would not be polite to him.
So Jiang Nan and Lu Xiaohu each took a quarter of the spirit stones and cultivation resources.
Miss He didn't want it, saying it was useless for her to have it.
Jiang Nan directly put one of the storage rings on her hand, helped her to make the distribution, and even gave her one of the most expensive storage rings.
Miss Xiao He was flattered and felt that she had not done anything yet had received so many benefits.
Lu Bei smiled and said, "Take it. From now on, if you follow Mr. Lu, you will only enjoy the best food and the best drinks."
Lu Xiaohu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Brother Lu, you are the one who eats delicious food and drinks spicy drinks."
"Haha, same idea."
Jiang Nan reminded him, "You can put your belongings in the ring from now on, so you don't have to carry a bag anymore."
Only then did Miss He's eyes light up and she reluctantly accepted it.
Jiang Nan put the last storage ring on his hand, glanced at Lu Xiaohu, and said lightly, "You have no objection, right?"
Lu Xiaohu smiled awkwardly and said, "I can't beat him, so I don't dare to do it."
Jiang Nan then nodded.
Lu Bei looked at the techniques curiously, "Don't you have any that you like?"
Lu Xiaohu shook his head. "They are all low-level sword techniques and low-level skills. It's useless for me to learn them."
Jiang Nan said, "Disciples from top-tier immortal sects like them have memorized their sect's unique skills and wouldn't dare hide them in their storage rings. After all, if the rings were lost and the skills were leaked, they would be held responsible, and they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences."
Lu Bei nodded, "Then I'll put it away and save more skills, maybe they will be useful in the future."
Lu Xiaohu smiled and said, "Aren't you going to build the Knight Island? This is all foundation, just accumulate it slowly."
Lu Bei smiled and said, "Now that we have established the Knight Island, you can't escape. Not only do you have to claim the title of elder, but you also have to contribute a portion of the resources."
"No problem," Jiang Nan nodded.
Lu Xiaohu covered his storage bag defensively, "First, determine the address of the Knight Island."
Lu Bei said confidently, "Don't worry, when I go to Penglai Fairyland, I might find the fairy island I'm targeting."
After a thrilling battle, the Tiannan Mountains were in ruins.
Smoke rose from the relatively clean campsite, and the aroma of food filled the air.
After Miss Xiao He joined the team, Lu Bei and others finally had a treat.
Not long after dividing the spoils, they were able to enjoy the delicious food.
Although they are now extraordinary masters and can fast for a long time, they will not refuse if they can taste delicious food.
During the meal, everyone praised Miss He for her cleverness, gentleness and virtue.
Therefore, Lu Bei gradually accepted the fact that she would work with him as a maid.
After all, when traveling around the world, who can resist the temptation of having a military chef?
And she's a delightful girl too.
But he only let her follow him temporarily, after all, she was a homeless girl who had lost her memory.
In the future, let’s see if we can find a way to repair her spiritual trauma and cure her amnesia.
Or, ask your newly-acquainted friend Zhuang Buyi to help search for her family.
I believe it should not be difficult to find my family by mobilizing the power of Baixiaotang all over the world.
The four of them rested for a while, put the wooden house into the space of the magic ring, and continued their journey south.
Half a month later, the four had penetrated deep into the heart of the Nanyue Kingdom and arrived at a small town at the foot of the mountain less than a hundred miles away from Daowang Valley.
Nanyue is a small country with mostly deep mountains and old forests. I originally thought that finding Daowang Valley would be an easy task.
In fact, after asking and inquiring along the way, the few of them barely found the location of Daowang Valley.
Every passerby would look horrified when asked, "What are you doing there? It's a deadly place. Even a fly passing by will be killed."
Some even said, "The knife king there has gone crazy and kills everyone he sees, leaving no one alive."
As he asked more and more times, the reactions of passersby didn't seem to be scary, so Lu Xiaohu's face became more and more ugly.
He was worried about the safety of others. After all, they came here just to accompany him, and he didn't want his friends to go into danger.
So he said, "Why don't I go over there and take a look myself. You guys don't have to follow me."
Lu Bei shook his head and said firmly, "If you want to go, let's go together. I want to see you succeed in becoming my disciple before I can leave with peace of mind."
Lu Xiaohu was deeply moved, "Good brother."
Lu Bei laughed and said, "I'm wrong. I'm your good brother. I'm afraid that if I turn around, my little brother will be chopped by the Sword King."
Lu Xiaohu punched Lu Bei in anger and laughed angrily, "Just wait, when I learn the sword technique, I will make you call me big brother."
"Then you have to work harder. I might become a master in no time," Lu Bei raised his eyebrows.
Lu Xiaohu rolled his eyes and ignored him.
He hesitated again, "What about Jiang Nan? Isn't she in a hurry to go to Fulong City to reunite with her family?"
Jiang Nan shook his head. "We've come this far over the years, there's no need to rush."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Bei and said, "Lu Bei and I have the same idea. Let's wait until you have completed your apprenticeship before leaving."
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Lu Xiaohu looked at the tacit understanding between the two and nodded, then smiled and said, "What a husband and wife following each other."
Lu Bei was stunned and subconsciously turned his head away, unable to bear to look.
"Ouch," Lu Xiaohu was chopped away by a sword and hung on a big tree.
Lu Bei curled his lips and said, "You are so brave, brother."
Xiao He covered his mouth and smiled.
Jiang Nan snorted coldly, "He refuses to change despite repeated admonitions."
"Alas, I am a straightforward person, please forgive me, lady." Lu Xiaohu fell to the road with a miserable smile.
"You'd better not be so straightforward in the future. You're hiding something," Lu Bei smiled bitterly.
Lu Xiaohu had a sad face. He ran to Lu Bei and muttered softly, "Oh, let's go, let's go quickly and finish your apprenticeship. You guys should go quickly. I don't want to see your tigress again.
Lu Bei covered his eyes again.
Lu Xiaohu was struck by another sword and flew away.
Wait until he comes back with his back supported and his face bruised.
Lu Bei advised him, "If you have such a secret in the future, tell me secretly with your mind."
Lu Xiaohu gritted his teeth and said, "I want to say that I will go to the martial arts world to find you after I have mastered the swordsmanship."
Lu Bei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you anytime."
Lu Xiaohu said firmly with a dark face, "I hope Jiang Nan will still be around by then."
Lu Bei was stunned, his eyes dimmed, and he remained silent.
Lu Xiaohu didn't seem to notice his downturn and continued, "I want to challenge Jiang Nan, challenge you. I must beat you both down and vent my anger."
Lu Bei smiled, his eyes full of longing, "I hope that day will come."
. . .
Outside Daowang Valley, several people looked at each other.
This place is desolate and dead, with not a single sound, and it doesn't seem like a place where people live.
The entire desolate mountain forest was silent, without a single living creature.
Not far ahead, there is a gourd-shaped terrain, which is the entrance to Daowang Valley.
There was an extremely flat piece of land in front of the valley entrance. There was no grass growing on it, and the ground was actually dark brown.
Lu Bei and others stood in front of the valley entrance for a long time without entering.
Because they saw that the dark brown ground was stained with blood, which showed that the rumors were true and no living creature could enter.
They didn't dare shout loudly at the valley entrance, for fear of attracting Wang Wu, the Big Knife, who would draw his sword in anger without saying a word.
Finally, Lu Xiaohu caught a gopher somewhere else.
They all fixed their eyes on the mole.
The mole kept crawling forward, and finally when it reached the open space at the entrance of Daowang Valley, it was suddenly chopped into pieces by the invisible sword energy. Blood mist splattered, and there was not even a piece of meat left.
Lu Xiaohu swallowed, his face filled with shock.
Jiang Nan frowned and said nothing.
Miss He was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Lu Bei scratched his head and suggested, "How about we go back to town to rest and recharge our energy before coming back?"
Miss He weakly raised her hand and said, "I think it's okay."
Lu Xiaohu said helplessly, "It doesn't matter whether Brother Lu is in a trance or not. Even if he is, he may not be able to get in."
He was a genius in studying swordsmanship, and he saw the terrifying nature of the sword intent just now at a glance. Not to mention wandering in the spirit, he was afraid that even fate could easily kill him.
Jiang Nan said softly, "Let's go back and investigate Dao Wang's experience first, and see if there are any other opportunities."
"it is good."
So the group retraced their steps and returned to the town.
They asked many people about the story of Big Knife King Wu in Knife King Valley.
Everyone had a different story. "Some said he was possessed, some said he couldn't improve his swordsmanship and turned mad, some said his wife abandoned him, and some said he became disheartened and refused to see anyone after his wife got an incurable disease.
But it seems that these people have never seen Big Knife Wang Wu, and these stories are just hearsay and speculation.
However, Lu Bei and others knew part of the truth. They knew that Dao Wang’s wife was injured by the strange fire and was beyond cure.
They returned to the town to obtain some secret information.
See if you can find someone who knows the Sword King, or his relatives, to help introduce them and bring them into the Sword King Valley.
But the search turned up nothing.
The four of them came to a tavern in the town to rest.
Lu Xiaohu said helplessly, "I still say the same thing. You guys go first. I'll wait here for a while. If I can't get in, I'll leave and look for you after the Sword King dies."
Lu Bei and others remained silent.
Several people fell into a depressing atmosphere.
Suddenly, a burly bronzed man from the next table walked over with a bad look on his face.
The man shouted, "What are you looking for the Sword King for?"
Lu Bei was stunned and looked at the man. He looked to be in his thirties, with regular features, sharp eyes and a powerful aura.
He is actually a master at the peak of the divine realm.
"Who are you?" Lu Bei asked curiously.
He was not in a hurry, because this person at the peak of Shenyou was far inferior to the original Mo Feng in aura, and seemed to be a person of mediocre talent.
He was confident that he could win with the help of Shura Blood Ring.
"Let me ask you, what do you want to do with the Sword King?" The man slowly drew out the big sword on his back.
"You said you'd wait until the Sword King died before leaving. Could it be that you're here to seek revenge?"
The man glared at several people with sharp eyes.
Lu Bei narrowed his eyes and saw that this man was actually a master of swordsmanship. The magic sword in his hand was buzzing.
Lu Xiaohu stood up in a bad mood and slammed the table and cursed, "We are asking about the Sword King, what does it have to do with you?"
Jiang Nan suddenly stopped him and asked, "Senior, are you an old friend of the Sword King?"
Lu Bei also guessed this possibility and stared at the man without blinking.
The man glared at Lu Xiaohu and snorted coldly, "My master, the Sword King, has long passed away. The one living in the Sword King Valley is my senior brother, the Great Sword King Five."
Lu Bei was stunned. It turned out that Dao Wang was Wang Wu’s master.
Jiang Nan stood up and smiled, "Senior, you misunderstood. We came here to become Senior Wang Wu's disciples."
Lu Bei lamented, "It's a pity that we can't enter the Sword King Valley."
The man felt relieved when he heard that he was not looking for revenge on his senior brother.
He sat back in his seat, poured himself a drink, and said calmly, "You guys go back. He won't accept any disciples."
“Now even I’m not allowed to enter there.”
Lu Bei clasped his fists and asked in confusion, "Why did it become like this? Senior, could you tell me a little bit?"
The man raised his head and drank a bowl of wine in big gulps. "Oh, what's the point of telling you, my brother and I are powerless to change the outcome, we have already accepted our fate."
A light flashed in Lu Bei's hand, and he took out a jar of good wine.
It was the wine that Gai Nie had given me to increase my strength.
He walked over to the man, carrying the wine jar, and sat down with a smile, "Excuse me, Senior, what is your name?"
The man glanced at the wine jar he had placed on the table and said calmly, "Li Zhen."
Lu Bei smiled and cupped his fists, saying, "Senior Li, we have come thousands of miles to become your disciple. We would not be willing to return empty-handed if we are not clear about everything."
"I see that you, Senior, are also filled with sorrow. Why not have a chat with us brothers and talk it out over some wine?"
Li Zhen was about to say that it was not necessary, but at this time Lu Bei had already opened the wine seal, and immediately the mellow aroma of the wine filled the air and hit his face.
Li Zhen's eyes widened immediately. "This, this is really good wine."
Lu Bei smiled and said, "Good wine goes well with heroes. I think Senior Li is also a hero, and I want to make friends with him today."
Li Zhen swallowed his saliva and said blankly, "Just making friends?"
Lu Bei nodded. "Also, we travel the world of martial arts and love to hear stories about heroes. Today, I want to hear about the legend of your Sword King Valley and learn about the beautiful love story of Big Knife King Wu and his wife."
"This way, even if we return empty-handed after learning from the master, being able to hear such wonderful stories will make the trip worthwhile."
"This," Li Zhen looked embarrassed, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the jar of wine.
Lu Bei took out a wine bowl, filled it with fine wine, and handed it over, saying with a smile, "Senior Li, as a junior brother, you can't help your senior brother with his worries and difficulties. You must be very depressed and frustrated. Why don't you pour it all out today?"
Li Zhen swallowed and took it with a dull look on his face.
Lu Bei continued to smile and said, "Perhaps after you tell it, the story of your senior brother and his wife can become a beautiful story. Even if your senior brother passes away, their love will still live on in people's hearts, making them admired and yearning."
Li Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly, "Little brother, what you said makes sense."
Lu Bei smiled and glanced at the wine bowl in his hand.
Li Zhen drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said happily, "It's really a good wine."
He said excitedly, "Okay, little brother, it's okay to tell you guys about my senior brother's story."
"I've actually wanted to talk for a long time."
So Li Zhen put down his wine bowl, sighed, and told the story.
