Chapter 148: Withered Heart Slash

Outside the courtyard, Su Chen slowly pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard and walked in.

"It's much faster than I thought."

Old man Ku Ming said.

"Really? I think so too. It's just that sometimes! Luck comes and it can't be stopped."

Su Chen smiled.

"Really? It turns out that there is such a thing as luck in the Dragon Array! I have learned a lot."

Old man Ku Ming looked at Su Chen with a smile.

"I have passed both levels, am I considered to have passed the level?"

Su Chen asked.

"Of course, congratulations, you have passed the level."

Old man Ku Ming said kindly.

Su Chen paused, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Are you in a hurry to go back? If not, sit with me."

Old man Ku Ming came to the tea table and said.

"Of course, of course!" Su Chen would certainly not refuse.

After all, he has lived here for thirty years, and he is reluctant to leave suddenly.

Su Chen was a little at a loss. Is he leaving so soon?

Before I passed the level, I was eager to leave.

Now that I have passed the level, I am hesitant.

What is the reason?

Old man Ku Ming handed Su Chen a cup of tea.

It was warm to the touch and hot to the mouth.

Su Chen's heart gradually warmed up.

Su Chen handed the knife to old man Ku Ming.

Old man Ku Ming took it and checked it: "It is worn out quite badly. It seems that it needs to be sharpened again."

"Huh? It is worn out badly, okay?"

Su Chen was surprised.

The sword obviously looks fine! There is no gap, how can it be worn out badly.

"Young man, you don't understand! The problems that you can't see, I can see. I said that this knife needs to be sharpened, so it should be sharpened."

Old man Ku Ming looked at Su Chen and said seriously.

"Okay, I understand why you have endless knives to sharpen every day." Su Chen rolled his eyes.

"Knife, is it still easy to use?"

Old man Ku Ming sheathed the knife and put it behind him, and asked casually.

Su Chen put down the teacup: "It's very convenient. At least, it's much more convenient than that bamboo sword."

"That's good, that's good." Old man Ku Ming nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

It seemed that Su Chen's words just now were like praising him.

"What did you see and hear in the Milong formation? Is it convenient for you to talk to me?"

Old man Ku Ming took a sip of tea and asked.

"Of course, I'm very happy."

Su Chen smiled and filled the tea for old man Ku Ming.

......

The sun sets and the moon rises.

Su Chen lay on his small bed, feeling indescribably warm in his heart.

Looking outside through the small window of the wooden house, the sky was full of stars and the moon was bright.

"Why didn't I realize that the scenery at night was so beautiful before?"

Su Chen murmured.

Dong Dong Dong!

There was a knock on the door.

"If you can't sleep, come out for a while!"

Old man Ku Ming's voice came in.

Su Chen couldn't sleep either, so he put on his clothes.

When he opened the door, he saw old man Ku Ming sitting on the stairs of the wooden house, admiring the starry sky at night.

There were two wine jars and several bowls of meat and vegetables next to the old man.

"Come drink with me. This rare lychee wine is a bargain for you." Old man Ku Ming patted the empty space next to him and said.

Su Chen was surprised and sat down next to old man Ku Ming, picked up the wine jar, opened the lid and smelled it.

Indeed, the best lychee wine tastes strange and fragrant, good wine.

Although Su Chen had never drunk wine, let alone lychee wine, it still did not prevent him from saying this.

Pour the wine in the jar into a bowl and pass a bowl to old man Ku Ming first.

Old man Ku Ming took it leisurely and drank it happily.

Then Su Chen filled his own cup and tasted it.

"It tastes good, the wine is fragrant, and the lychee flavor is also very strong."

Su Chen commented.

Old man Ku Ming put down the wine bowl and picked up a pig's foot to chew.

Su Chen's eyes widened.

"Old man, you still have pig's feet here?"

"Why, why can't I have pig's feet here?" Old man Ku Ming asked back, pinching a few peanuts and stuffing them into his mouth.

"Uh, no, I mean, you have braised pig's feet here, why didn't you take them out for me to try before?" Su Chen said with a look of pain on his face.

You have this good thing, why don't you take it out earlier! Why wait until now, I don't know how many years I have been craving for it.

Su Chen didn't care about his image, picked up a pig's foot and started to bite it.

"Hmm, fragrant, fragrant!"

I haven't eaten this for more than 30 years. Su Chen just felt that the pig's feet were so fragrant that he could bite his tongue.

"Eat slowly, I'm the only old man here, enough for you to eat."

Old man Ku Ming shook his head.

Young people nowadays! They really don't know how to sit or stand, and even when eating, they are not polite at all.

There are many meat dishes, not just pig's feet. Shredded chicken, chicken feet with pickled peppers, braised beef, roasted bullfrog...

It's true that there are a lot of good things here at Old Man Ku Ming's place.

After eating and drinking, the two large jars of lychee wine were almost empty.

Su Chen burped with satisfaction.

Old Man Ku Ming held a wine bowl in his hand, with half a bowl of wine in it, and put it to his mouth, sipped it from time to time.

He looked into the distance with deep eyes.

"Boy, you have been here for thirty years. To be honest, I am a little reluctant to let you go now."

Su Chen paused and looked at the profile of the old man Ku Ming from behind. He was calm and expressionless.

"Yes, yes! Thirty years."

Su Chen had a great time eating, which made him forget his sadness for a while.

But no matter how good the wine is, it will run out. No matter how delicious the banquet is, it will end.

Now this banquet that has lasted for thirty years has finally come to an end.

"Alas. It's useless to be reluctant! Boy, you don't belong here after all. You have your splendor and your passion. Being here will only bury your passion. Outside is your real free world."

Old Ku Ming drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp. Putting down the bowl, Old Ku Ming stood up and turned his back to Su Chen.

"Boy, before you leave, I will give you a gift. I hope you will like it."

Su Chen stood up quickly and stood behind the old man.

From the back, at this moment, the old man Ku Ming's back was straight, and his spirit and energy reached a peak.

Su Chen had never seen such an old man Ku Ming.

Old man Ku Ming had always been a kind old man before, and he had never been so sharp today.

Old man Ku Ming turned to face Su Chen, and a sword appeared in his hand.

The blade was slender and the handle was black.

The scabbard was red, and there was a fiery red maple leaf at the junction of the handle and the blade.

"This sword is called Ku Xin Zhan, which is my most proud work and the best work. Now I will give it to you, and I hope you can treat it well."

Old man Ku Ming looked at Su Chen solemnly.
