I'm the villain in the book

"Master, tell me, why did you come to Dafeng?"

Rolling his eyes, Wei Changtian asked strangely, "Are you going to kill Yan Luo again?"

"Hmph! Do I need to report to you what I want to do as a teacher?"

Not to be outdone, the old Zhangtou stared back and said: "Sinister! As a teacher, let me ask you, why are you here at Dafeng?"

"I'm here to kill Yan Luo."

Wei Changtian cut to the chase: "Old Zhang, I already know your identity, so there's no need for you to hide it anymore."

"Oh?"

Old Zhangtou laughed and said, "Then tell me, what is your identity as a teacher?"

"Aren't you the mysterious swordsman who killed Yan Luo once in Huailing Mansion 60 years ago?"

"Wh, what mysterious swordsman, you scoundrel, stop talking nonsense!"

"Come on, you should stop pretending."

"The old man is not pretending!"

"Hey! You have to force me to show evidence before you admit it?!"

"You, you scoundrel, you are going to make this old man mad..."

"..."

One sentence and one sentence, Wei Changtian and Lao Zhangtou soon started yelling like this.

Although the two of them didn't think there was any problem with this way of communication, Li Wutong next to him looked astonished at this moment.

This, what's the situation?

"Zhang, senior Zhang, Mr. Wei, you..."

"You can ask later!"

Wei Changtian interrupted Li Wutong's inquiry with a wave of his hand, and continued to stare at Lao Zhangtou's crazy output.

"Old Zhang, let me ask you, is your original surname Zhou?!"

"I......"

As if he had been given a immobilizing spell, upon hearing this question, the expression of the old man who had been vehemently denying it before suddenly froze on his face.

He opened and closed his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't deny it anymore, he just sighed deeply like a deflated ball.

"Ugh......"

"Okay, don't let this long sigh!"

Wei Changtian curled his lips, but a huge stone fell to the ground in his heart.

Since Lao Zhangtou is really the mysterious swordsman, many questions can be answered.

"Since you have admitted it, you should be able to tell me what happened to all of this?"

"..."

Faced with Wei Changtian's questioning, Lao Zhangtou was silent for a long time this time.

He looked up at the endless Gobi Gobi in the West Desert outside the window, and then ran outside the house to bring a jar of shochu.

"Whoa~"

The wine in the altar goes into the bowl, and the wine in the bowl goes into the throat.

In this way, he drank several large bowls of Shaodaozi wine in a row, Lao Zhang wiped his mouth, and then slowly told the story about himself under the watchful eyes of Wei Changtian and Li Wutong.

Chapter 328 The Story of Lao Zhangtou

60 years ago, Wei Changtian was not even born... no, it should be said that his parents were not even born yet, let alone time travel.

At that time, neither Li Qi nor Ning Yongnian succeeded to the throne, and Wei Zhaohai was the commander of the Xuanjing Division.

At that time, Qin Zhengqiu was only at the fourth rank, and he was far from No. 1 on the Daning black list.

At that time, at the end of the Gobi in the Western Desert, there was no inn named "Longmen".

However, 60 years ago, Lao Zhangtou was already 70 years old.

At that time, his surname was not Zhang, but Zhou, and he came from Baidian, a place in the extreme north hundreds of thousands of miles away from Dafeng.

So in the story we will temporarily call it... Lao Zhoutou.

Baidian is the master of the sword sect, and everyone uses swords. The sect's top school "Luo Qiong Sword" is divided into 36 moves. The more moves that can be learned, the more talented the person is in the way of swordsmanship.

And Lao Zhou learned ten moves at the age of five, 22 moves at the age of ten, thirty moves at the age of 20, and 40 moves at the age of 35, becoming the fastest young person in the White Palace to achieve such an achievement except for the Holy Son generation.

At the age of 50, Zhou Tou left the extreme north to travel in the mountains, determined to visit all kendo masters in the world to prove his sword heart.

He has traveled all the way from north to south, and he has not lost a single defeat in the first ten years.

But when he was 60 years old, he passed a spiritual mountain and met an old Taoist on the mountain.

Using a willow branch as a sword, Lao Dao defeated Lao Zhoutou in three strokes, and left a sword manual and a sentence before leaving.

This sword manual is Moon Picking Sword.

And that sentence is——

This sword technique can slay all demons in the world, but it cannot slay the demons of the heart, so I can do it myself.

At that time, the old Zhou Tou didn't understand the meaning of these words, but he understood the extraordinaryness of Moonlight Sword.

In the next few years, while continuing to search for people in the south to compete in sword competitions, he practiced Moon Moon Swordsmanship hard, and finally mastered Moon Moon Sword to a small perfection two years later.

It was also because of this that for the first time, Lao Zhou felt a slight opportunity to break through to the first rank, as if he could break through the unprecedented first rank as long as he practiced the moon-picking sword to the great perfection.

However, unlike the smooth sailing before, the difficulty of Moon Sword training has changed sharply from small to perfect, and every step in the middle is extremely difficult.

And every time the old Zhou Tou used the moon-chasing sword in actual combat, he would feel more and more difficult to "control" this sword technique.

It may sound unbelievable that people cannot control swordsmanship, but it is true.

However, the temptation to break through to the first-rank realm is too great, and Lao Zhoutou can't and doesn't want to stop there.

In this way, stop and go all the way, another eight years have passed.

At the age of 70, when Lao Zhou arrived in Dafeng, he happened to meet a gu carving that had not yet had a master and was making trouble in Huailing Mansion.

Out of pity for the innocent people, he killed the Gu Eagle with a single sword, causing him to fall back into the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao which lasted for six years.

Afterwards, the old Zhoutou rejected the reward offered by Emperor Dafeng at that time, and after defeating ten masters of swordsmanship, he continued eastward, crossed the Gobi in the Western Desert, and came to Daning.

Here, he met the opponent who impressed him the most during the 20 years of experience in the mountains.

Galaxy Sword, Zhang Benchu.

Zhang Benchu ​​is a sword idiot through and through, never learning other people's sword skills, but created his own set of sword moves called "Luoyue Xinghe".

Lao Zhoutou has seen too many sword masters of all kinds along the way, and there are quite a few who can create their own sword techniques.

But Zhang Benchu, who sleeps with his sword in his arms, is the most special one.

Not only because of his obsession with kendo, but also because he is the only swordsman other than the old Taoist who is not inferior to old Zhoutou in kendo attainments.

The two fought swords all night in Tianshan Mountain, Liangzhou.

Rather than saying it was a sword competition, it was actually more like a discussion on swords.

On one side is "Luo Qiong", which no one can learn all 36 moves so far, and on the other side is "Luoyue Xinghe", which Zhang Benchu ​​has learned all his life.

Overnight, although the two never spoke a word, they seemed to have become close friends.

In the middle of the night, old Zhou Tou suddenly realized something, and changed his sword move to pick the moon.

And Zhang Benchu ​​seemed to understand something, and he still gave him moves one by one.

The Yuetiao Sword, which had been stagnant, became unobstructed again at this moment, and Lao Zhoutou could even clearly feel that he was only one step away from the Great Perfection.

The unprecedented first-grade state is close at hand, and no warrior can remain calm at such a time.

The same goes for the old man Zhou.

He kept making moves, making moves, and making moves again. Although he kept his strength, he didn't notice that Zhang Benchu ​​was getting tired of coping.

And the latter did not stop.

It is not known what Zhang Benchu ​​was doing for.

Maybe he wanted to fulfill Lao Zhoutou, or maybe he wanted to fulfill himself.

In short, at daybreak, he finally could no longer catch the sword that seemed to really knock down the moon from old Zhou Tou, and his head was chopped off in the cold mist of Tianshan Mountain.

In fact, the old Zhou Tou finally wanted to stop the move.

But he couldn't stop.

It wasn't because of his desire for Yipin that he didn't want to stop, but literally - he couldn't stop.

That sword is no longer under his control.

It was also that sword that made old Zhou Tou really understand the horror of Moon Moon Sword.

The sword can pick the moon, and you can get into the first rank.

This may or may not be true.

Because old Zhoutou didn't know whether the "person" who got to enter the first-rank state was himself or not.

Looking at Zhang Benchu's slowly falling corpse, at the last moment when Lao Zhou's mind was still clear, it was also the last moment when the Yueyue Sword was about to enter the Great Perfection and he was about to enter the first-rank state, struggling to raise the sword and stab into his dantian .

Third grade, no way.

Fourth grade, no way.

Fifth grade, no...

From the second grade to the ninth grade, from the peak to the bottom.

It wasn't until his realm fell back to the ninth rank that the restless moon-picking sword intent returned to stability.

He finally saved his "self" in this way, but Zhang Benchu ​​couldn't come back to life because of this.

Contained the latter's body and left Liangzhou.

Old Zhoutou had no energy and no ability to continue traveling, so he settled down in Daning.

He almost traveled all 36 states in Daning and changed his surname.

Since he was 70 years old, his surname is no longer Zhou, but Zhang.

Zhang Benchu's Zhang.

......

The story ends here.

In the room, Wei Changtian and Li Wutong looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

It is already the first night outside the window at this moment, the crescent moon hangs in the east, but there is still a red glow in the west.

The new moon is beyond the birds, and the sunset is in the west of the setting sun.

Everyone in the world likes the brilliance of the full moon, which is perfect.

But the crescent moon has been empty for a long time, reminding people that there are always regrets in this world.

"That, that, senior..."

Suddenly, Li Wutong asked in a low voice with some anxiety: "I don't know what we should call you in the future?"

"..."

The surname is Zhou, or Zhang.

This problem seems simple, but in fact it is difficult.

The old man froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

But Wei Changtian didn't hesitate, and immediately made a decision for him.

"In my opinion, I'll still call you Old Zhangtou."
