Li Bochen knew that the kick he just kicked must have broken his leg bone. There are three other people on the other side. If the fight gets too loud, they might get into trouble. But this time it was trouble that came to him, so there was nothing to regret. He thought that he could knock those three people unconscious immediately and leave Zhangcheng to find a place to stay.
When he thought about it, his face turned cold, and he walked towards the alley and picked up the severed wooden knife on the ground.
I thought that the three of them would also rush over, but the older one actually raised his hand to stop the two companions who were about to move, took two steps forward, and shouted: "Cao Yan, are you crazy? Who told you Use the knife?!”
Then he handed over to Li Boxen: "Friend, it's a misunderstanding. I'm just here to persuade Mr. Tao to join the association."
Li Bochen didn't expect that this man seemed to be sensible, so he was stunned and stopped.
The man shouted: "Hel him up and let's go!"
He turned to the old man by the wall and said, "Mr. Tao, what happened between us today is also because you are not comfortable because you haven't attained Da Kongming. I hope Mr. Tao will think about it again."
After saying this, the other two people picked up the young man with the broken leg. The man glanced at Li Boxen again and walked away holding the handle of the wooden knife at his waist.
He was prepared to cause a big trouble, but it turned out to be a mess. Li Bochen felt a little regretful for a moment. But it was a good thing, so he turned around and walked back to the alley. He heard the old man behind him calling him a few words, but he didn't want to cause trouble again and pretended not to hear. After walking out of the street, turn a few steps and join the crowd.
As he walked, he couldn't help but think about the four people just now. When the boy A Luo said "Kong Ming Hui", it sounded familiar to him. Just now he heard the man say "Da Kong Ming" and "Uncomfortable", and he remembered it.
On the way south, we passed through several towns and briefly stayed for a day or two to work as part-time workers to make ends meet. Then we know that in recent years, a sect called "Kongminghui" seems to have appeared in the Six Kingdoms, and its power is growing day by day.
The Six Kingdoms of the Son of Heaven mainly worship six emperors, but many people also believe in a certain Yuanjun or True Monarch in the netherworld, and some worship mountain gods and land in various places. Others believe in some ancient secret spirits. For this type of believers, the Governor and the government generally do not hold them accountable, and only seek trouble from the leader after trouble occurs. Therefore, this type of sect is generally very low-key.
But this Kong Minghui neither believes in the spirits of the underworld nor the ancient secret spirits, but believes in the "Great Sky Ming". He also heard a few words from people, and it seemed that "Da Kong Ming" was not a spiritual god, but referred to a spiritual realm. Belief in Da Kong Ming did not conflict with belief in the gods of the underworld or even the mysterious spirits.
It does sound like a comfortable sect, but somehow it manages to force people to join the sect.
He walked along the street for a while to make sure that no man in black with a wooden knife was following him, and then he saw an iron shop on the street. With a thought in my heart, I stopped at the door and looked inside. I think I can make a scabbard for Yaohou in my arms. If I have enough money, I can make a calyx protector so that no one else can recognize it.
But suddenly I heard someone behind me panting: "This righteous man, please stay!"
Li Bochen sighed in his heart and turned around when he heard the voice of the old man in the alley.
Sure enough, it was Mr. Tao who caught up with him. He stopped and said, "Thank you for your help. I am old and forgetful. Have we met before?"
Li Bochen smiled and said, "We have never met before, so we have seen rough roads."
After saying this, he turned around to leave, but the old man stepped forward to stop him: "Where does the righteous man live? Your accent doesn't sound like he's from Zhangcheng."
Li Bochen thought that this man might have seen that he had some skills and was looking down and out, so he wanted to recruit him as a guard. But he didn't want to do that kind of thing of waiting on others, so he said: "Old sir, we meet by chance, so there is no need to ask any more questions."
As soon as he turned around and took a step forward, the man said again: "Is a righteous man a weapon that needs a spare part? Why don't you go into this shop and pick one, and I'll pay the bill as a thank you."
Previously, the men in black from the Kongming Society called him Tao Gong, which sounded like a respectable figure. And at such an age, with someone chasing after him with a serious tone, Li Bochen had no choice but to turn around again. Since the other party sincerely reciprocated, he was not polite and said: "Old sir, if you really want to thank me, just give me some property."
The old man was stunned. But he smiled again: "The righteous man is really generous, why, is there no place to stay?"
Li Bochen thought for a moment: "Yes. I came to seek refuge with my relatives, but my relatives are no longer here."
The old man said seriously: "You and I are really destined. Listen to me, righteous man - I have a son in my family who is spoiled and has a naughty temperament, but he wants to practice martial arts. I think the move that righteous man just made was a sword technique, right? Quanzi is exactly that. I want to learn swordsmanship, but I can’t find any famous masters in this huge city of Dazhang. The righteous man’s ancient ways are heart-warming and his swordsmanship is superb. Are you interested in becoming a teacher in my humble home?”
Li Bochen felt a little happy, thinking that this would be a good place to go. But he immediately realized that this seemed to be a bit of a coincidence - he had settled the injustice first and relieved the Tao Gong's temporary difficulties, and there happened to be a young man in his family who wanted to learn swordsmanship.
Although there are many coincidences in the world, his current situation is special and he really has to think more about it. Just as he was about to refuse, another thought suddenly occurred to him. If there was anyone who used this method to ambush him, it was probably Mr. Chebei or Li Ding.
But he was disguised along the way, how could they learn of his whereabouts so quickly? Is it because I am too worried?
After such hesitation, the old man smiled and said: "It seems that the righteous man also has this plan. In this case, why not come with me to see the humble abode first, and only stay if you feel satisfied. If not, I will give you a thank you gift and will never force you."
Li Bochen thought about it again and felt that he was indeed overly concerned. If Sui Wujiu and Li Ding wanted to harm themselves, they could actually arrange for someone to do it on the quiet street just now, and there was really no need to expend such a lot of effort.
Then he bowed his hands and saluted: "Okay. Old sir, I will go with you to take a look first, and you can also test my martial arts."
The old man was overjoyed and grabbed his hand: "Please, please, righteous man, come with me!"
The old man didn't live far away, it was only a quarter of an hour's walk away. His family lived on Yuqian Street in the west of the city. Although the house was not big, it looked like there were three entrances from the front and back. There seemed to be wealthy people nearby, and the street was clean and peaceful.
Seeing this scene, Li Boxen was a little satisfied. Fewer people is a good thing.
He also thought that although he had not been taught by a famous master, his sword skills were honed from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The Rakshasa girl Li Qiuhu I met before was also very good at swordsmanship, but she may not be much better than him. If he really wanted to be a teacher, he would not be wronging his disciples.
It's just that the old man said that his child was naughty... If he was a playboy with a vicious mind, he would never be able to teach him these skills.
He followed the old man through the door, walked around a screen wall with black tiles and white walls, and saw the front yard, and was slightly startled.
Because he saw a slim young woman sitting at a stone table under a cluster of yellow wintersweet flowers beside the courtyard, playing with a small wooden knife in her hand. The woman was wearing a jacket with white fur edges, she had slender eyebrows and eyes, and a little red lips. She was in her youth, and she looked gentle and pleasant.
But Li Bochen also stopped because of this and frowned slightly: "Old sir, is it a female master? I don't think it's right."
