ugly man

As night fell, there were only five households left, and the deserted Han Village was shrouded in darkness and extremely quiet.

Lu Nanzhu was lying on the bed, clutching a piece of cloth tightly in her hand, there was no light in the room, she was completely immersed in the darkness, and even her breathing was barely audible.

After an unknown amount of time, a sigh broke the silence in the room.

Lu Nanzhu sighed heavily, tightened the cloth in his hand, turned over, rested his forearm on his head, and looked out at the night sky through the small square window.

This time he went out of the valley and found nothing, which inevitably made Lu Nanzhu suspicious.

In the past half a year, under the name of "robbing the rich and helping the poor", Lu Nanzhu almost visited all the rich and famous people in the martial arts world, but he didn't find any clues. Could it be... I thought wrong?

Lu Nanzhu shook the cloth, in such a dark environment, it was impossible to see what was written on the cloth.

But the content on this piece of cloth has long been imprinted in Lu Nanzhu's heart, and he will never forget it in this life.

On the piece of cloth is a lotus flower with nine petals, vermilion heart and black petals. This is the totem that Lu Nanzhu accidentally saw on her father's chest, and it is also the key to unlocking all the secrets.

Ever since Lu Nanzhu could remember, the three of them have been on the road almost all the time, rarely stopped, and never really chose a place to live.

When Lu Nanzhu was six years old, their family came to Tianshan Mountain. Lu Nanzhu still remembered that on the day he entered the village, his father took her and his mother and kowtowed three times at the huge stone monument at the foot of the mountain in a proper manner. Entered the village and settled in Shiyin Village.

Lu Nanzhu's father was "suffering from a cold illness" and was very afraid of the cold, and the cold illness often broke out. Every time her father suffered from the cold, his whole body was covered with cold air, and his mustache and beard were covered with frost. The many layers of quilts didn't help either.

Lu Nanzhu never understood why his father was so afraid of the cold and stubbornly lived in such a cold village, refusing to go out.

Her mother's medical skills are very good, but whenever her father gets sick, her mother can't do anything, she can only hug her tightly and use her thin body to keep him warm until he recovers.

With the passage of time, Lu Nanzhu's father became more and more frequent, and finally when Lu Nanzhu was 12 years old, her father fell ill again, and the situation was unprecedented; Lu Nanzhu's mother was still as usual , hugged her husband tightly, and tried to save him with her own body temperature, but in the end, her father was frozen to death, and her mother was "infected" by the cold disease, and her physical condition deteriorated. , also started to get sick like Lu Nanzhu's father.

Lu Nanzhu had learned a lot of medical theory with her mother. She heard from an old man in the village that Tianshan snow lotus can fight cold poison.

So Lu Nanzhu entrusted his mother to Grandma Sun, and secretly climbed up Tianshan Mountain alone to find the legendary Tianshan snow lotus...

I don't know whether it was the heaven's pity or Lu Nanzhu's filial piety that created a miracle. She really found a blooming white lotus on a cliff.

Lu Nanzhu fixed the rope on the mountainside, lowered himself down, and used an ice chisel to carve out some grooves on the frozen cliff for support.

But the Tianshan snow lotus had just been picked, but the rope was worn off by the protruding sharp ice, and Lu Nanzhu fell into the abyss...

Lu Nanzhu fell into a cold pool that does not freeze all year round at the bottom of the valley and survived, and experienced some adventures there, but when she finally had enough strength to jump out of the valley and return to Shiyin Village, it was two people. years later.

The Tianshan snow lotus has long since withered and dried up, and her mother has also passed away.

Lu Nanzhu was in great grief, and cried for a long time in front of his parents' grave, touching the cold tombstone, which read: Lu's Saburo, the tomb of Lu's younger sister...

Looking at the words on the tombstone, Lu Nanzhu's heart ached: The whole Shiyin Village, including Lu Nanzhu himself, didn't know her parents' names, only knew that his father called his mother "Yaomei", and her mother called her "Yaomei". Daddy "Third Brother", as for the real names of the two of them, the couple has always kept secret.

In the past two years at the bottom of the valley, although Lu Nanzhu was trapped by the cold ice, she already knew a lot about the Jianghu. She knew that this "Shiyin Village" was created by a strange man a hundred years ago. People who do evil but have no place to stand.

Because the strange man once defeated the famous people in the world, Tianshan became a forbidden place for Jianghu people. Back then, many desperate people broke into Tianshan to ask for the protection of the strange man, so this Shiyin Village came into being.

Lu Nanzhu also understood that her father was not a strange disease at all, but was injured by some kind of cold internal force. The childhood memory finally had an explanation. Her parents didn't dare to step out of the Tianshan Stone Stele until their death, and they didn't even dare to tell themselves their names.

Fortunately, Lu Nanzhu once found the nine-petal lotus totem on his father's chest. Maybe behind this totem, there is the secret of her parents. Lu Nanzhu did not seek it out of revenge. Growing up in Wuzheng's village, Lu Nanzhu's temperament is gentle and kind.

She just wants to know the things buried under the years. There are too many questions in her heart. She wants to know the truth. Parents were harmed by strong people, so it is natural for children to seek justice!

Lu Nanzhu always believes that everything in this incident cannot escape a word of truth; in fact, the most important thing is that she wants to know who her parents are. She may not care about her parents' past, but she wants to know their names. At least one monument should be erected again, this is like the tombstone of "Anonymous", Lu Nanzhu will feel extremely uncomfortable every time he sees it.

But after more than half a year, Lu Nanzhu almost traveled all over the rivers and lakes, and he didn't see a similar family emblem or seal flag, and he didn't hear anyone whose martial arts internal strength was similar to his father's internal injury. Instead, it was because she stole it casually for cover-up purposes. After touching the majesty of these "famous and wealthy families", she has become the number one target of bounty hunters from all walks of life. In order not to bring disaster to the only five remaining households in Shiyin Village, Lu Nanzhu became more and more careful.

Lu Nanzhu carefully folded the piece of cloth and put it under the pillow. Did he look in the wrong direction?

She raised her hand and touched her smooth and delicate face. The title "Ugly Man" was not deliberately made up by her.

Four years ago, Lu Nanzhu fell into the cold pool and survived. When she climbed up, she almost froze to death. She looked up and saw that the walls of the cold pool were covered with ice. Impossible to escape from birth.

Just when Lu Nanzhu was looking around in despair, he saw an ice cave at a position three feet high on a mountain wall. The ice chisel went all the way up to dig some small holes that could accommodate climbing, and when he got into the ice cave, Lu Nanzhu found that there were actually people living in the cave!

In addition, dry firewood and flint were stored. Lu Nanzhu was overjoyed and lit a bonfire in the brazier to dry her clothes. What surprised her even more was that there was actually a warm jade bed in the ice cave!

Lu Nanzhu spent the whole night in the cave, but he didn't explore everything in the cave.

On the second day, she climbed down from the cliff along the original road, tried countless times, but failed to escape, and finally ended up falling into the cold pool. The deer was cold and hungry, and her clothes were dried He also caught a fat fish in the cold pool and roasted it to satisfy his hunger.

So back and forth, a few days.

Lu Nanzhu looked at the shriveled Tianshan Snow Lotus, sad and desperate.

She looked around the ice room for a week, and placed a lot of books on the bookshelves carved out of ice. Lu Nanzhu accidentally entered the ice room to avoid the cold. She had no intention of touching the owner's old things, but because she was trapped at the bottom of the valley for several days and was bored, she went to the ice room. He bowed to the void and took a book from the shelf to read.

Time passed by in a hurry, and Lu Nanzhu found that there were a lot of books in this ice cave, and the contents of his reading were mostly elegant things, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and humanistic customs.

Lu Nanzhu read one book after another, and quickly finished reading the books in the cave. When Lu Nanzhu put the last book back to its original place, something incredible happened!

Suddenly there was a dark sound from the mechanism in the ice cave, and a hidden compartment was opened on an ice wall, revealing a brocade box. Lu Nanzhu walked over, opened the brocade box, and inside was a book made of special oilcloth .

On the cover are written three big characters: "Heavenly Demon Art"

Lu Nanzhu opened "Heavenly Demon Art" and saw on the title page: This art is unique in the world and only women can practice it. If you practice this art, your appearance will be ruined.

Lu Nanzhu thought to himself, there is such kung fu in the world, all women in the world love beauty, who would destroy their appearance for a martial art of unknown power?

Lu Nanzhu turned over the title page and wrote on the second page: Who said that a peerless hero must be handsome and elegant?That's just the wishful thinking of you mediocre people...

Lu Nanzhu realized something by staring at the handwriting on it. She felt that the author of this book must be a bohemian, unrestrained madman, but Lu Nanzhu thought about it again. Since this book can only be practiced by women, the book The author must also be a strange woman?

Lu Nanzhu frowned, but the woman...can be described by words like suave, handsome and unrestrained?

Lu Nanzhu read it over and over again, puzzled; but secretly admired the author of this book, she had already imagined the arrogant appearance of the author of this book.

Lu Nanzhu turned over this page with a smile, and saw the third page that said: Learning "Heavenly Demon Art" can jump out of the valley, if you are destined, your eyes widen?In fact, your thoughts are not difficult to guess. After all, this is a forbidden area in Tianshan Mountain. Who would come to the bottom of this valley where no shit?I'm guessing right, you must have fallen off and couldn't get out, trapped in my ice cave for many days, otherwise how could you be so bored that you read all the boring books on the shelf, hahahaha, If you are a man, I am sorry that you are not lucky enough to survive the catastrophe. If a man practices this skill, he will definitely explode and die. If you are a woman, congratulations, you have a chance to go out, but you need to use Change your looks.

Lu Nanzhu's eyes widened. Although she didn't quite understand some of the words in the previous paragraph, she still understood the general meaning. After practicing this skill, she can go out!

For Lu Nanzhu, there is no need to choose at all. It's not that she doesn't care about her appearance, but that her mother is still waiting for her at home, waiting for her Tianshan Snow Lotus to help her.

Lu Nanzhu didn't scrutinize the weird words in this paragraph, but directly turned to the next page, and saw that it said: If you can practice this "Heavenly Demon Art", you can sneak into this cold pool. Finally, here is the gift I gave you. From today onwards, you are also my successor. I don't know how long it has been, but you must at least know your master's name: Lord Grim.

Lu Nanzhu saw that the style of the handwriting had changed drastically, so he couldn't help touching the oilcloth, but the ink stained his hand, and the signature "Jun Moxiao" in the lower right corner was still flamboyant. This handwriting of is completely different from the signature and the previous content.

The writing force is restrained, the strokes are calm, and other contents are soaked in oil with special techniques after writing, and this text is written on the outside of the oil, so it will fall off when you touch it with your hand, obviously it was added later .

Lu Nanzhu couldn't figure out the joints. In the end, she attributed all this to the fact that this "Jun Mo Xiao" wandered around the world, revisited his old place after retiring from seclusion, and added something to it.

Lu Nanzhu sat on the warm jade bed rubbing the pages of the book with his fingers, and said to himself: "Jun Moxiao...a very familiar name."

Suddenly, Lu Nanzhu's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed, "Weird man!"
