C395 Antecedent
What he did not expect was that there was a corresponding icon in the interface that said "former cause".
"The cause?" Seeing this, Lu Yonghao's heart couldn't help but move. As the saying goes, cause and effect, he was thinking that this could be the cause of the existence of Special Ability Pen.
With that in mind, he immediately opened the corresponding icon for the Special Ability Pen.
In the middle of the continent, there were a total of thirty provinces. Every province was independent, so there would be wars erupting every day. The people in the middle of the continent all knew the survival of the fittest. Thunderclap He was just an ordinary person in the middle of the continent, an orphan who had never had a father or mother since a young age. His name was Thunderclap. He could endure it, at the age of seventeen, after enduring a week of hunger, he came to the central continent's Buluo Province, where he became a soldier.
He was not like the others. He had no goal in living at all, he just wanted to have three meals a day and some peace. Maybe the heavens felt that they owed him too much, so they began to miss him. After becoming a soldier in Bulo Province, he was assigned to the gatekeeper department of the city wall. The gatekeeper department was a hard job, and it was also a beautiful job. The beauty was that being a guard did not always involve himself in the war as much as being a soldier, that is to say, he did not have to live all day in fear of dying that day.
He often went to the west side of the city, where the families of the soldiers lived. There was a bustling street where he often bought some things and ate a bowl of hot, coarse noodles at a small noodle stall in the west side of the city. The stall was run by an old man and a young man, the older one was in his seventies, and everyone respectfully called him the Old Man. All day long, he had been hunched over there making noodles, while the younger one was a little girl a year younger than Lei, called Little Cui Hua.
The more times the thunder came, the more familiar he would be with Little Cui Hua, and at the end, when he didn't see her for a day, he would be unhappy. Gradually, Little Cui Hua understood that when Thunder came to eat ramen noodles, he would often add a lot of sour food into his bowl and bring it over to Thunder, laughing while carrying a lot of sour food to her. When there was a lot of business, she would help the customers carry the noodles, and from time to time, she would peep at the noodles, and when the business was quiet, she would just sit directly across from Lei and quietly watch him eat. And Little Thunder always ate a bowl of noodles, just for the sake of seeing Little Cui Hua more often.
By the time Thunder turned seventeen, a city siege had changed everything.
That year, a burly man came from Buluo Province. In the eyes of the guards, he was nothing special, just an ordinary person, but an ordinary person, yet he had the unparalleled attention of the mayor. Not only did he personally go out of the city to receive them, he even gave them a banquet.
After the big guy arrived, the mayor started his army and led them out. He was shocked to hear that the mayor had a lot of intelligence and was ordered by the mayor to become a military advisor. It was indeed as everyone said. In the period of time when the big person came, the city lord won several battles, so the city lord who had a glowing face organized a feast to celebrate.
Thunder was the captain, and he had the honor of attending the banquet. That night, Lei, who was planning to go back early, ate too much and stayed in the latrine for the night. When he came out, he coincidentally arrived at the house of the drunk supervisor and was kindly escorted back to his room by Lei. Everything was very normal, but the mistake was when the thunder returned. He unfortunately passed by the city lord's room and coincidentally heard some news that he shouldn't have heard.
In fact, the Thunderclap only heard a little, it was that while Bulo City was hosting the banquet, the enemy took advantage of the city's security to surround Bulo City, and a few provinces and cities attacked together, and more importantly, in order to protect Bulo City, sacrifices were inevitable...
Thunder was just a small soldier, at that time, he didn't think much of it. The next morning, he went to the west side of the city to eat noodles. However, he found that the west side of the city was surrounded by people. When he squeezed in, he found that the west side of the city was littered with corpses.
When Thunder arrived at the small stall, he saw the old man lying by the stove. His head wasn't in the steaming pot, and there was even a knife stuck in his back. As for Xiao Cui Hua, she laid down horizontally on the ground, her hair in a mess, her almond-shaped eyes staring blankly at the sky, biting her lips to the point where a thin line of blood flowed out, the worn-out cotton clothing covering her mouth tore apart to the sides, a pair of jade rabbit's chest had many claw marks, her snow-white body was covered in bruises, and it was obvious that Lei couldn't even bear to look at her.
On the same day, the mayor of the city posted an announcement saying that the city of Bulo had already been surrounded by the enemy, and that the enemy had taken advantage of the time when the restaurant in the city had been set up to relax their guard, and had snuck into the city of Bulo disguised as a city guard, committing a heinous crime in the west of the city. Then, he gathered the people and soldiers within the city and shouted loudly, "In view of the enemy's actions, even if I die, I will not surrender, lest the people within the city be massacred."
The city lord of Bulo City was normally seen by the people of the city, and because of his good governance, he could be counted as a good city lord. Now that the city lord of Bulo City had heard him say this, they were all indignant and swore to defend Bulo City to the death.
While the people in the city were celebrating, Thunder was in the back of the city carrying Little Cui Hua's corpse and digging with one hand. His left hand's five fingers were torn, but he still kept digging until he had enough time to lie down. After filling it up, he took out a straight piece of wood that he had placed beside him and fiercely inserted it in front of him. He bit open his blood-stained finger and wrote down the tomb of his late wife.
Three days later, a storm was brewing, and thunder and lightning were colliding with each other from time to time. Everyone seemed to see a ghost-like figure fall from the sky from the sky amidst the flashing lightning on the back of the mountain.
That night, the strategists of the City Lord's Mansion were assassinated, and the assassins attempted to escape through the fecal passageway.
Seeing this, Lu Yonghao could not help but pause for a moment, because he realized one thing, Xiao Cui and the others were the victims that were dealt with in order to arouse the anger of the people in the city. From the perspective of the mayor and the advisor, they were right, after all, sacrificing a few small citizens to protect the entire city.
With this thought, he continued to read.
Like most mountains, they were also overgrown with trees, which was nothing special. It was just that the Taibai Mountains gave people a way out, and if there was a way, they would be passed by, and the bandits would also be born.
In the beginning, when the bandits tried to rob the lone pedestrians, they always made a profit, but the good times didn't last long, and the world knew that the road was filled with many people who passed by. More often, there were merchants who passed by and hired mercenaries or guards, thus making life difficult for the bandits.
The bandits were quite intelligent, they pushed out one of the most capable people in the group, then camped on Taibai Mountain as a encampment, accepted all four parties and troops, and finally started a guerrilla war with passersby. They chose the ones they could deal with and lived a peaceful life.
The government had also attacked them lazily a few times, but since they were the opponents of the growing bandits, they couldn't be bothered to do anything about it.
After being robbed, the running lightning easily became a member of the village because it had no money on it.
However, Lei had always done it in silence. Fortunately, with the passage of time, the people no longer treated him so harshly. Furthermore, during the thunderstorm, they would always ask questions about martial arts.
Right now, there was only one thought on Lei's mind, and that was to become stronger. Every night, he practiced it to his death until he could clearly see the moves used by the bandits. Only then did he spend half of his time practicing the knife skills used by the bandits.
In less than a month, he had learned all of the bandits' sabresmanship, and it was even more outstanding than the bandits themselves, but he was not satisfied. He knew that those sabresmanship were all unconventional sabresmanship, and he wanted to leave, but there was one person that he did not secretly learn, so he stayed behind.
He was waiting for the day when the village chief made his move. It was said that the village lord had once been an expert of the Tang Dynasty, and had ran away to Ming Kingdom because he offended someone, but no one saw him do it. When he arrived at the village, he just crossed his hands behind his back and used his feet to make the entire village submit to him.
After waiting for three months, the opportunity finally came. An unknown young knight had come up the mountain to pick out strongholds, and although the young man was young and vigorous, he did have the ability. In just a cup of tea, he had arrived at the main hall of the stronghold, and the chief had finally made his move. Whenever it was quiet at night, he would always ponder by himself on the mountainside and grope around with the sword left behind by the young chivalrous hero killed by the village lord.
A month later, he combined all of his moves.
After reading this, Lu Yonghao couldn't help but stop. Compared to Lih Xiaotian's story, he liked the story of Thunder, because Lih Xiaotian's story had so many topics that he already knew a lot of things. But compared to now, this story of Thunder was much clearer and more interesting.
Most importantly, the title of this shocking story was the previous cause. He understood that this might have represented the origin of the Special Ability Pen!
