The old man of the mountain thought so, but on the surface he was still fiddling with the half-cooked barbecue, and slowly responded to Luo Cuilian's question.

"This body is no more than an old man in the mountains. He just lived a little longer and knows some trivial assassination skills."

"Assassination skills?"

"That's right, it's assassination skills. I am an assassin, so the skills I know are naturally assassination methods."

Luo Cuilian blinked her big eyes twice, she was a little puzzled inside, recalling the overbearing fighting style of the old man on the mountain, she couldn't think of the assassin at all.

Although the assassins of the Celestial Dynasty are much braver than their counterparts in other countries, and often fight in and out with a sword in their hands, the overall actions are still biased towards stealth.

And the old man of the mountain's unstoppable posture just now, if he really wants to exchange the branch in his hand for a long knife, Luo Cuilian has no doubt that he has the ability to slaughter all the blood drops by himself.

Is it possible that the phrase 'taking the head of an enemy general from among a crowd of troops is like picking something out of a bag' is not actually a description of a fierce general on the battlefield, but an assassin?

Kill a person in ten steps, and never stay behind for a thousand miles; when something happens, brush off your clothes and hide your body and name.

Luo Cuilian couldn't help thinking of Li Bai's poems, and suddenly felt that the true meaning in them seemed to fit Huo Shan's behavior, and felt that this was the freedom and ease of a chivalrous man.

"Assassination is an act, and assassination is just a profession."

"If you have engaged in this profession or carried out an assassination operation, no matter what method you use to kill the target person, the technique you use is an assassination technique."

Seeing that Luo Cuilian was puzzled, the old man of the mountain gave a further explanation, which was also a good reason for himself who had been playing Wushuang all the time, so as to ensure the legitimacy of killing ranks.

After all, it is recognized that the average strength of the killer rank is weak among the seven major ranks, and even the man on the mountain will not deny this.

Perhaps, the fact that there are too few servants killed is not a small reason. Most of the successful assassins will not leave their names in history, but die in obscurity.

After thinking of this, the Old Man of the Mountain felt a rare sadness in his heart, so he raised his hand and took out two blue and white porcelain bottles from the great tomb of Nazarick, and began to drink for himself.

Luo Cuilian understood the meaning of the words of the old man of the mountain, and she, who was very savvy, immediately realized more truths by making inferences, and seemed to have benefited from it.

The girl who came back to her senses looked at the old man of the mountain again, and she was a little curious when she saw that the other party was eating barbecue and drinking something from a porcelain bottle.

With the consent of the old man of the mountain, Luo Cuilian picked up another porcelain bottle and put it in her hand to examine it carefully. Then she uncorked the bottle and brought Qiongbi closer to sniff it. She said in surprise:

"Is this rice wine? It seems to be a very advanced rice wine."

Hearing this, the old man of the mountain stopped eating and drinking, looked at Luo Cuilian with a serious face, and corrected softly:

"This is not alcohol, but a drink made from rice."

"That's right, it's a very common drink. Although it seems, maybe, probably contains some alcoholic ingredients, it's definitely not wine."

The ignorant Luo Cuilian saw that the old man of the mountain emphasized so much, although she didn't know the reason, she nodded in response, and then raised the porcelain bottle in her hand to her little mouth to taste it.

The rice wine that smells so fragrant and attractive must have a wonderful taste, not to mention the faint fragrance of bamboo in the wine.

Luo Cuilian, who hadn't had a drink since fleeing to Mount Lushan, was immediately aroused by alcoholism, but the old man of the mountain unceremoniously raised his hand and snatched the porcelain bottle, and rewarded him with a crisp brain collapse along the way.

This made the girl who was caught off guard screamed with a headache, and there was a clearly visible red mark on her snow-white forehead.

"Minors are not allowed to drink, and this old man only has two bottles left."

Luo Cuilian, who was rubbing her forehead, heard the old man of the mountain's words, glared at him angrily, and pouted her mouth angrily, as if she could hang an oil bottle.

The girl squatting on the ground hugged her knees and drew circles on it with a branch, while whispering:

"They are all 16 years old, and they passed the ceremony last year, so they are already adults..."

But the man on the mountain ignored Luo Cuilian's resentment and put the last batch of meat skewers on display, ignoring the girl's desire for rice drink.

Seeing this, Luo Cuilian also knew that her desire to soothe her hunger had failed, so she turned her attention to food again.

After the two had eaten and drank enough, the old man of the mountain waved his hand to call out the underworld fire to wipe away the remaining traces, and then walked down the mountain.

After finally coming to the ancient celestial dynasty, the old man of the mountain does not plan to live in seclusion in the mountains this time, but plans to visit all parts of the country.

Seeing this, Luo Cuilian stood there thinking for a few seconds, then flew up to follow and walked beside the old man of the mountain, just about to open her mouth to say something but felt inappropriate, so she compared her mouth again.

"What are you still doing with me?"

"The person who chased and killed you has also been dealt with. If you want to live a normal life, you only need to find a new place to hide your name."

Seeing Luo Cuilian's hesitation to speak, the old man of the mountain stopped and looked down at the girl who was only 1.6 meters tall, waiting for the other party's answer.

Luo Cuilian raised her head and looked directly into the deep pool-like eyes of the man on the mountain, feeling that she was completely seen through by the other party in an instant, and she couldn't hide any thoughts at all.

Feeling the faint majesty exuded by the old man on the mountain, Luo Cuilian's black eyes shrank, and her pair of small fists clenched a little, as if she was still making a decision in her heart.

In the end, Luo Cuilian, who didn't intend to miss this chance to meet an expert from the outside world, decided to take a gamble, and knelt down on both knees while removing the hem of the Hanfu skirt.

"I implore Senior Huo Shan to accept Cuilian as his apprentice to teach assassination skills. I want to kill the dog official and dog emperor no matter what to avenge my dead parents!!"

Chapter 2

"Revenge?"

"If you only have this thought in your eyes, then it is absolutely impossible to teach you my skills."

After listening to Luo Cuilian's words, the old man of the mountain's eyes suddenly became sharp, and with the release of his oppressive aura, the hem of his black robe automatically moved without any wind.

Although he had already guessed why Luo Cuilian would be hunted down, and took action to settle the current crisis for her, the old man of the mountain had no intention of getting involved in worldly affairs.

Although the undead Mountain Man did not ascend to the throne and become a heroic spirit, but as the crown and killer, he has always strictly abided by the rules of the heroic spirits.

"Only, do you have this idea..."

Luo Cuilian couldn't help but move her eyes when she heard the words, and looked up at the man on the mountain, feeling the vicissitudes of the person in front of her, as if she had come from the end of time.

"Don't show understanding to someone who hates you. Don't show approval to someone who feels joy. And don't show appreciation to someone who feels pain."

"It is indeed a matter of course to avenge one's biological parents, but this is not a reason to become a teacher."

Luo Cuilian, who was kneeling on the ground, listened carefully to the words of the old man of the mountain, and couldn't help but feel that the other party's words were somewhat contradictory and incomprehensible, so she continued to listen in silence.

"The art of assassination is the trick of killing people."

"But although the assassination skill is born for killing people, how to use this skill ultimately depends on the master."

The old man of the mountain couldn't help but think of some of his past when he said this, which happened in previous lives.

Even though time has passed, he still clearly remembers the past with his companions, no matter whether the experience is bright or dark.

As for revenge, he has indeed experienced it himself, and he also knows many guys who call themselves avengers.

But there are very few of them who can really get rid of the past hatred and gain a new life after the revenge is successful, and most of them have lost themselves on the road of revenge.

The man with back view who likes to play cool is one of the few Avengers who can do enough. Even the old man of the mountain will praise his steely determination without hesitation.

The world's most famous avenger, the Count of Monte Cristo's so-called revenge aesthetics.

"If you are only driven forward by hatred, what you will meet will be a tragic end that will be swallowed up by hatred."

"Your understanding of revenge is too shallow. Just holding such a superficial idea is doomed not to reach the other shore of grievances and hatred, and you are not qualified to inherit my mantle."

It was only now that Luo Cuilian heard the true meaning of the old man of the mountain, and she suddenly woke up from the negative state full of hatred, but then more confusion emerged in her heart.

"Senior Huo Shan, are you worried that Cuilian will lose her heart and self in hatred?"

The old man on the mountain didn't nod when he heard the words, but raised his eyes to look at the stretching road ahead, and said slowly:

"My skill is not something that most people can easily understand and learn."

"So I won't accept a disciple who has no future and is destined to perish on the road of revenge. That would undoubtedly be a waste of my hard work."

Regarding the words of the old man on the mountain, Luo Cuilian could not refute at all, nor did she have any dissatisfaction in her heart.

Because of the future that the other party is worried about, even she herself doesn't know how it will develop, and she even doesn't know where to go.

After saying that, the old man of the mountain lowered his head and looked at Luo Cuilian again, and said:

"You can choose to follow me, but I won't teach you anything about combat, and it's up to you to understand whether you can gain anything."

The old man of the mountain took a step forward, and all he said here was an explanation of the fate of this chance meeting, and what happened after that was completely out of his control.

The life of the other party is up to the other party to decide, which is also following the destiny in the dark.

"Eroded and engulfed by hatred? That really seems like the end I might usher in."

Luo Cuilian, who was kneeling on the ground, recalled her experience in the past year. Although the time was short, many twists and turns occurred.

The Luo family was originally a well-known local family and often secretly supported the actions of the anti-Qing martyrs, but in the end this behavior was caught by the spies at the stick.

Then, after the assassination of other anti-Qing righteous men failed, the Luo family and other Jiangnan families who were confessed were ordered by the emperor to ransack the family and exterminate the family under the iron evidence collected at the sticky pole.

Luo Cuilian didn't know the situation of other families, but she was the only one who escaped from the Luo family, and she was still wanted until now.

From the eldest daughter in the palm of her hand to the wanted criminal living in the wilderness, the world of a 15-year-old girl has undergone earth-shaking changes in just one night.

This is what she thinks, how can she not hate it?

Along with the difficult journey of survival and escape, Luo Cuilian's character became stronger and stronger, and the hatred in her heart became more concentrated and deeper.

In the end, hatred will completely devour and distort the girl's innocence, turning her into an appearance that even he would find strange.

But the meeting with the man of the mountain allowed Luo Cuilian to get rid of the negative emotions in her heart for a short time, returning to the state of a year ago.

Although he was a stranger whom he met not long ago and his identity was unknown, the demeanor exuded by the man of the mountain made the hedgehog-like girl feel at ease after a long absence, as if seeing the kind and kind elders at home again.

"Perhaps, it's time for me to practice hard for a while, so as to fully see the hatred in my heart and my future path."

Luo Cuilian exhaled lightly, feeling that the pressure on her body was much lighter, and her tense mood also relaxed.

The girl who recovered from her thoughts raised her head, saw the back of the man on the mountain fading away, and quickly jumped up from the ground to catch up.

"Compared to practicing alone, it would be better to follow Senior Huo Shan. By the way, you can also eat delicious barbecue..."

The Old Man of the Mountain heard the slight sound of footsteps coming from behind, waiting for the answer that Luo Cuilian would give, and using this to determine whether the other party needed to teach.

If he is still obsessively immersed in his own little world of hatred, then no matter how high his achievements in this life are, his achievements will be limited, and he is not qualified to teach him at all.

If he had already faced his heart and broke away from the hatred, then the man on the mountain would not accept her as a disciple, but to go through the cruel test honestly first.

How can it be so easy to be a disciple of the crown and killer?First prove that you have the ability to open unparalleled.

"Senior Huo Shan, wait for me."

Luo Cuilian, who had fully unleashed her lightness kung fu all the way, stepped on the branches and chased after her, and landed beside the old man of the mountain, and said respectfully:

"Thank you, Senior Huo Shan, for your teaching."

"Cuilian's life will definitely not be a life of revenge. Such a life is too boring and doomed to be miserable. Thank you, Senior Huo Shan, for awakening Cuilian before she fell into the devil's way."

The old man of the mountain nodded slightly. Although he didn't have Karna's "poor man's insight" skills, his rich experience was enough for him to see whether what the other party said was true or not.

"It's just some old man's nonsense. It's all up to you to understand the truth from it."

"But in the final analysis, it is the credit of the senior. By the way, Cuilian, can I practice with the senior?"

"If you are willing, then follow along. But it is agreed in advance that I will not teach you any assassination skills."

The old man on the mountain walked while talking, and Luo Cuilian followed him up and down as before, and left the magnificent and beautiful Lushan Mountain in the direction of going down the mountain.

And at the same time, on the distant sea.

Accompanied by dense dark clouds and billowing lightning, a disobedient god holding a lightning-like weapon came to the world.

The ships sailing in the sea suffered an indiscriminate disaster, and were crushed by the sea of ​​thunder and lightning rolled up in an instant, not even half of the wreckage remained.

The unknown god opened his eyes and found himself in a completely strange place, so he took his own steps based on his feeling.

"Where is it?"

"Following this direction in a straight line, I can once again return to the seat of the God King revered by the world."

"And before that, let the lowly humans who have lost their sense of awe recall once again the fear of natural disasters!!"

Chapter 2

Five days later.

The old man of the mountain who left from Lushan came all the way to the seaside, and saw the living conditions of the common people on the way, and felt a lot of emotion for a while.

Although it is not serious enough to be in dire straits, the life of the low-level civilians in ancient times is similar to being a cow or a horse, and they may not be able to do without that square inch of fields for the rest of their lives.

And all the old man on the mountain can do is to ring the bell for those corrupt officials who oppress good people, and Luo Cuilian sees all such acts of chivalry and righteousness without leaving a name.

"To kill a person in ten steps, you won't stay behind for thousands of miles; when you're done, take off your clothes and hide yourself and your name."

Luo Cuilian murmured this line of poetry again, feeling more and more that this was describing the man on the mountain, and she seemed to understand the meaning of the other party's assassination skills in her heart.

"After reading Master Shixian's words many times, Cuilian really has a lot of insights. The actions of senior Huo Shan are really like the chivalrous men in the pre-Qin period."
