Lu Xiao's life can be said to be one of walking on thin ice. Anyone in the bandit camp may kill him at any time. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Lu Xiao hardly dares to make any small moves.
But it's not impossible. For example, tonight, Lu Xiao found an opportunity.
There seemed to be new people joining the brothel in the town. That night, all the bandits who went there got very drunk and stayed at the brothel. Even the two guys who had been bullying Lu Xiao found a place to drink. Only
Lu Xiao was left sleeping alone in the stable.
As the night got darker, Lu Xiao opened his eyes and looked around. It should be midnight now. There were almost no pedestrians on the street, and the horse bandits had all drunk and fell asleep.
After Lu Xiao carefully checked the surroundings, he took out a horse and quickly left the stable.
He can only say that he is barely able to ride a horse, and his level is very average. After all, horses are very precious. Only the horse bandits at the top are qualified to ride.
Fortunately, the place Lu Xiao wanted to go was not too far away. He first walked around the town and found a forest. He did not enter the forest rashly. There should be a group of hunters in this generation who set up a large number of traps in the forest.
It was a trap. He didn't dare to enter it casually, but just walked around a few times.
Then he found the place he was looking for, which was a cliff.
After finding the place, Lu Xiao did not continue, but quickly returned to the stable. He fed the horse some fodder, then lay down and continued to sleep.
What Lu Xiao wants to find is the book of swordsmanship that the protagonist Ding'an finally got in the original work. But there is not enough time in one night. Of course, he can ride down to the bottom of the cliff to find it. But that will consume too much horsepower, and tomorrow morning
, those horse bandits would be easily aware of it. Therefore, Lu Xiao just locked the general direction and then returned to the stable.
Although I am now regarded as a member of the horse bandits, I have not gained real trust, so I still focus on stability.
The next day, the horse bandits woke up and left on horseback. Lu Xiao and three others were left behind, carrying fodder and some necessities, and walked slowly behind.
Along the way, Lu Xiao was silent. But the two guys behind him kept discussing what happened last night. They went to the half-open door last night, after the old prostitutes who were old and lustful were kicked out.
Working as a prostitute to make a living.
The two of them were chatting, and then the topic shifted to Lu Xiao.
"This kid is really weird sometimes. He neither drinks nor plays with women. How can he look like a horse bandit?"
"Hahaha, you don't know this yet. Wasn't it the same when we first came here? Don't worry, it won't take half a year to be like us."
Lu Xiao heard their conversation but did not respond. He was practicing swordsmanship, yes, practicing swordsmanship.
Physical exercise and practicing sword skills are the only things Lu Xiao does in his free time. He doesn't know any sword skills, so he only practices the simplest slashing movements. Lu Xiao doesn't know if this is useful.
But he can only train in this way. This can at least give him a little confidence in his heart.
He practiced desperately every day, but all he got in exchange was the ridicule of the horse bandits. The horse bandits who could make a living under Feilong were naturally the kind of people who had a second chance. It was natural for them to look down on Lu Xiao's slashing.
However, Lu Xiao noticed that one person looked at Lu Xiao slightly differently.
That man was Fei Long, the strongest swordsman in this area. Lu Xiao had seen him use his sword, but his vision was limited and he couldn't see any tricks. He only knew that the opponent's sword was very fast. It was so fast that he could hardly see clearly. Such speed
, let alone competing with each other, if we really had to fight him, he might not even know how he died.
"drink!"
Lu Xiao swung his knife again, but this time he felt someone coming behind him. Before he could turn around, he saw a scimitar reaching out from the side and pressing on his wrist, causing his wrist to sink slightly.
Some.
Lu Xiao looked sideways and saw Feilong standing beside him. It suddenly dawned on him that Feilong was probably correcting the way he held the knife.
Lu Xiao nodded immediately and firmly remembered this gesture in his heart.
Feilong did not speak, nor did he give any more advice, but left without saying a word.
In the following days, Lu Xiao practiced his sword more diligently. Feilong also corrected his posture of holding the sword, which made him feel that his training seemed to have some effect.
As the strongest horse bandit group of this generation, one good thing is that at least there are enough oil and water pipes. Those horse bandits are all meat-loving people, and they have enough beef and mutton pipes, plus some brown rice and so on. Lu Xiao has enough nutrition and can
I can withstand his training method.
Two months passed by. During this period, Feilong led his men to plunder another village. With sufficient supplies, the horse bandits began to live happily again.
Only Lu Xiao, as if he was tireless, kept waving the knife boringly every day.
Until once again, the flying dragon came to him again.
"Want to learn how to sword?"
"Think!!" Lu Xiao said without even thinking.
"Very good, then come with me."
This was the first time Feilong truly taught Lu Xiao.
"There is only one secret to my swordsmanship, which is speed. No matter what tricks or secret techniques, they are all nonsense. As long as you are faster than the opponent, he will be unable to stop you with one slash. Then you will win. What swordsmanship do you want?"
Feilong's words seem to make sense, but they are also unreasonable. Because Lu Xiao has long noticed that Feilong is extremely talented and has amazing arm strength. Although his two scimitars are not two-handed swords, they are definitely heavy.
It is heavier than ordinary one-handed knives.
But in his hands, they are like two tachyons. They can be danced by him in an airtight manner. He can strike more than a dozen swords in one breath. No matter how powerful the swordsman is, there is no room for resistance in front of him. What?
He couldn't even use any of his moves, so he was hacked to death by his swords.
Lu Xiao's physical fitness is also very strong. But he has not yet reached the level of Feilong, so he can't use two swords. So he can only use a single sword.
Just as he said, Feilong did not give Lu Xiao any moves. He only taught him in detail the posture of holding the sword and the basic movements of swinging the sword. He also told him that if he wanted to practice a sharp sword, he would need more than just upper body skills.
There is no need to neglect the lower body either. To put it bluntly, the knife must be fast enough and the lower body must be stable enough. This is all the secrets of Feilong Knife Technique.
Fast enough and stable enough. The secret manual only has four words, but Lu Xiao has already firmly memorized it in his mind.
............
In this frontier place, there are two things that are unavoidable: wind and sand and death.
In three years, Lu Xiao has become accustomed to these two things. He is no longer the horse bandit who ranks at the bottom. Now in Feilong's horse bandit camp, Lu Xiao ranks third. The first is Feilong, and the second is Lao Diao.
Lu Xiao actually doesn't care about this ranking. But there are still many benefits. His sword is getting faster and faster, and the other horse bandits are becoming more and more polite to him. If there are good things, he will be picked first, and they will even be delivered to his door.
The horse bandit is a kind of creature that bullies the weak and fears the strong.
