After Li Chouxin left with Zhang Xiaopan, Pei Chen was alone in the dilapidated temple, drinking the remaining wine in the wine gourd and talking to himself toward the broken statue of the god in the dilapidated temple.
Apparently, this is a dilapidated Temple of Heavenly Kings, with the pagoda in the center supposed to be the Heavenly King, and the four Heavenly Kings on both sides. However, it has long been dilapidated, and basically only half of it remains.
Beside the fire, Pei Chen's eyes were firm, and he was recalling the past while drinking. More than thirty years ago, his whole family was slaughtered just because his master Pei Jianyi offended Gao Bishan, a celebrity in front of the emperor at that time. He was only fourteen years old, but he was already a famous swordsman in the world. It was only because he was wandering around in Xijing that he escaped from danger. It has been thirty-three years since he came here.
In the past thirty-three years, I have been wandering around. Although I have made great achievements in swordsmanship, the eunuch Gao Bishan who was in front of the emperor has now become a general manager. It is really difficult to return to Xijing to settle the old matters. But Now that Zhang Xiaopan has a destination and he has nothing to worry about, it's time to settle everything.
Thinking of this, Pei Chen threw down the wine gourd in his hand, raised his head towards the headless King of Growth, Mo Liqing, and said: "King of Growth, now you are headless, and the sword in your hand is rusty, so why don't you just use the sword?" Lend it to Pei Chen and let this sword eliminate evil and promote good in the world, and cut off all grudges and worries!"
After saying this, Pei Chen jumped up, took the rusty iron sword from the hands of the King of Growth, and swung the sword towards the door of the ruined temple. The old door was shattered into pieces and covered with dust in an instant. .
Pei Chen carefully wiped the rusty and slightly curved sword of wisdom to remove the rust, but the sword body was still a little yellow. However, for Pei Chen, no matter how sharp or precious the sword in the world is, if it cannot Punishing rape and eradicating evil is no different from a rusty sword.
Pei Chen laughed a few times, then put the Huijian behind his back, picked up the wine gourd and strode towards the door.
Since Li Chouxin and others took Zhang Xiaopan away, they made a new set of clothes for Zhang Xiaopan. It was still the same as before, a red cotton and linen dress, but it was new. This was the first time Zhang Xiaopan had worn it in the past few years. She put on new clothes, but she still couldn't be happy. She was still thinking about Pei Chen.
Li Chouxin saw Zhang Xiaopan's thoughts and said: "Xiaopan, since your elder brother Pei has entrusted you to me, you should listen to him and practice well with your teacher. In the future, if you have the ability, you can do it no matter where your elder brother Pei is." Find him easily, let's do this, let's eat first, and I will take you to the ruined temple to meet him early tomorrow morning, and say goodbye to him properly."
After listening to Li Chouxin's words, Zhang Xiaopan started to eat. While eating, he told Li Chouxin to keep his word and that he would say goodbye to Pei Chen tomorrow.
Ziwei on the side said at this time: "Brother Chouxin, are we leaving tomorrow?"
Li Chouxin replied: "I have been waiting here for a few days and have caused a lot of trouble. It's time to leave."
After hearing what Li Chouxin said, Qinyin said: "Since I have to leave tomorrow, why don't brother Chouxin say goodbye to your jade-glazed beauty?"
Li Chouxin was stunned for a moment, why did he start to mention this again, "Qinyin, why are you talking about this again? Do you want to sleep with your brother Chouxin tonight?"
When Qinyin heard this, she immediately changed her attitude. She, who was usually eloquent, became shy at this moment, "As long as what Brother Chouxin said is true, Qinyin is naturally willing." After saying that, her face turned red and she turned to the side.
"We also want to be with Brother Chouxin!" Several people nearby also cheered.
Zhang Xiaopan watched this scene, and then looked at his new master in front of him, and suddenly felt that this master was not serious.
Seeing this, Ziwei said quickly: "You two should be more serious. Xiao Pan is still here, so don't bring up the children! And you, you have to stay with me to find your Yu Liuli. Don't act like a hooligan all day long."
Seeing Ziwei scolding Li Chouxin, Zhang Xiaopan smiled for the first time, but this smile was a mockery of his master.
Li Chou was also a little embarrassed and said: "Eat, eat! Rest early after eating, we have to rush tomorrow!"
Talking and laughing, having wine and meat, they quickly finished their meal and went back to their houses, leaving only Li Chouxin and Zhang Xiaopan.
Seeing that the girls had left, Li Chouxin said to Zhang Xiaopan, "Good disciple, it's still early. I'll take you out for a walk."
Zhang Xiaopan said, "Although I have become your disciple, don't call me good disciple. Just call me Xiaopan. It will seem more cordial and natural."
Li Chou also understood that at this time, Zhang Xiaopan only accepted him as his teacher under Pei Chen's persuasion, but now he was still reluctant to admit this fact, so let him go for now.
"Okay, Xiaopan, let's go for a walk. I have something to tell you." Li Chouxin continued.
Zhang Xiaopan did not refuse and followed Li Chouxin towards the street.
Along the way, Li Chouxin was talking to Xiao Pan about his past, and then told Xiaopan: "Now that you and I are masters and disciples, I, Li Chouxin, will definitely not treat you badly. I only hope that you can practice seriously in the future, and I will I will pass on everything I know to you. From now on, you will be an upright man and stop crying. And those six sisters, although they usually like to tease you, it is because they like you, so you should treat them as your own sisters. Just get along well, the outside world is still waiting for us to travel together."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaopan said: "No, calling me sister will mess up the seniority. Calling me master is almost the same. Master, you have to tell me how to sort me, otherwise it will be embarrassing if you call me wrong."
"You little brat, you didn't say a word just now, but now you are teasing me. You are really a brat." Li Chouxin looked at Zhang Xiaopan and said.
At this time, a carriage passed in front. It looked like it belonged to Qian Xiuzhai. When it arrived beside Li Chouxin, the carriage stopped. The person in the carriage opened the curtain, revealing a beautiful and familiar face. The person who came was none other than Li Chouxin. Jade glass.
"Young Master Chouxin, it's such a coincidence that we meet here?" Yu Liuli asked first.
Li Chou felt a little embarrassed, "Yes, what a coincidence. Where did Miss Yu Liuli come back from so late?"
"I just came back from the prefect's house. The prefect is hosting a banquet for the guests tonight. He paid for my daughter to perform a dance to entertain the guests. I just got here." Yu Liuli replied.
Li Chouxin didn't know what to say, so she just nodded.
But Zhang Xiaopan asked at this time: "Master, is this the girl Yu Liuli that Master Qinyin mentioned just now? Should Xiaopan call her Master or sister? Do you want to take her with you tomorrow morning?"
Zhang Xiaopan's series of questions startled Li Chouxin, "Don't talk nonsense, just call me sister, and don't bring up the matter of the master's wife again." Then he smiled awkwardly at Yu Liuli.
At this time, Yu Liuli knew that Li Chouxin was about to leave, and said, "Master Chouxin, since you are leaving, don't you want to say goodbye to Liuli?"
Li Chou felt a little embarrassed, thought for a while and said, "This was decided just now, and I didn't have time to tell you."
Yu Liuli said she knew it and had someone drive the carriage away, leaving Li Chouxin looking at the carriage in a daze. Seeing the carriage disappear on the street, Li Chouxin turned back to Zhang Xiaopan and said, "I met Miss Yu Liuli tonight. Don't talk nonsense when you get back, otherwise master won't teach you sword moves."
"I know, I know, aren't you just afraid that the other ladies will blame me, so I won't tell you anything." Zhang Xiaopan replied somewhat casually.
After some explanations, Li Chouxin took Zhang Xiaopan back to Fuman Building, and Zhang Xiaopan stayed with Li Chouxin tonight.
Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaopan woke up early and woke up Li Chouxin, clamoring to say goodbye to Pei Chen.
Li Chouxin asked Zhang Xiaopan to wake up some girls, collect their things, and soon they ate some food in a restaurant and headed towards the ruined temple in the east of the city.
Before Zhang Xiaopan left, he asked Li Chouxin to bring Pei Chen a jug of good wine.
However, when a few people arrived at the ruined temple, they saw that the door of the ruined temple had been smashed into pieces. Zhang Xiaopan thought that something had happened to Pei Chen and ran towards the temple anxiously. Li Chouxin and others also followed.
But there were no signs of fighting in the temple. Zhang Xiaopan felt relieved, but he began to wonder again, where did Brother Pei Chen go? Then he looked helplessly at Li Chouxin.
Li Chou was also a little curious, but he found the answer right away.
"Xiao Pan, do you think there is something missing in this temple?" Li Chouxin asked.
Zhang Xiaopan looked around, his eyes suddenly lit up, "It's a sword, it's the sword in the hand of the King of Heaven."
"That's right, since the iron sword in the King's hand is no longer there, it must have been taken away by your elder brother Pei Chen. Yesterday he gave you his banished immortal. Of course, he also has to find his own sword. Not to mention, this growth The King of Heaven's Wisdom Sword is really suitable for him." Li Chouxin said.
"Then this door was also destroyed by Brother Pei Chen's sword test?" Zhang Xiaopan continued to ask.
"I guess so! It seems that he has already used the sword of wisdom to punish rape and eliminate evil." Li Chou replied thoughtfully.
"Look, there are words on the ground!" Qi Yun suddenly said.
Several people quickly gathered around. Still beside the smoking firewood pile, there were a few lines of words left by Pei Chen. Although the words were written with charcoal, they conveyed Pei Chen's free and uninhibited mood when he wrote these words. It was perfectly expressed. The character was full of style when moving around, and there was an indestructible will in the elegance. The character read:
Xiao Panru saw that Pei had borrowed the sword of the Heavenly King and left, intending to cut off all the evil spirits in the world and cut off all grudges and troubles. Don't think about it.
Zhang Xiaopan looked at the words on the ground infatuatedly. He was about to cry but suddenly remembered what Li Chouxin said last night. So he stood up and poured half a jug of wine that he had brought for Pei Chen in front of the incomplete statue of the King of Growth. He placed half of the jug next to him. He came forward and said: "Master Heavenly Lord, since Brother Pei borrowed your sword, this wine will be regarded as a thank you gift. I hope you will bless Brother Pei in heaven that he can fulfill his wish and eliminate his worries."
Seeing this, Li Chou felt very emotional. It turns out that everyone is a temperamental person, so it was inevitable that he would compose a poem based on the scene:
Borrowing the long sword from the king's hand
But the world is still new
Old friends come here, old friends go here
Only long-term wishes to appeal to God
At this time, Zhang Xiaopan didn't know what Li Chouxin meant, but he could feel that Li Chouxin was writing about himself and Pei Chen.
"Since Brother Pei Chen has left without any worries, let's get up as soon as possible. It's time for Xiao Pan and me to go see the world outside." Zhang Xiaopan seemed to have grown a lot overnight, and after saying that, he walked out of the ruined temple. go.
Li Chouxin and others also followed, but no one took the initiative to talk to Zhang Xiaopan at this time, because Zhang Xiaopan must be very sad at this time, but he didn't want to show it.
Several people walked back and returned to the street, riding towards the north gate.
As soon as they arrived at the North City Gate, Li Chouxin saw the familiar carriage from last night again, and her heart suddenly tightened.
Sure enough, when Li Chouxin and others arrived at the carriage at the bottom of the city, they were stopped by the people on the carriage. The person who came was none other than Yu Liuli.
"Mr. Chouxin, Yu Liuli knew you were leaving, so she came here to see you off." After saying this, Yu Liuli looked at the girls behind Li Chouxin.
The girls behind Li Chouxin also looked at Yu Liuli, and were indeed shocked by Yu Liuli who was wearing a red shirt.
Everyone looked at this jade-glazed skin like gelatin, a pair of seductive eyes under the willow eyebrows, and a graceful figure like a snake demon. It was really difficult for people to be moved.
"But having said that, why is this Yu Liuli here?" Qinyin reacted first.
Li Chouxin was a little confused by this question. She avoided Qinyin's question and said to Yu Liuli: "It's just a trivial matter that bothers the girl. Thank you for sending me. Please take care of yourself."
"It seems that Mr. Chouxin is accompanied by many beauties, and now he doesn't want to pay much attention to the little girl." Yu Liuli said towards Li Chouxin.
Li Chouxin didn't know how to answer, so she turned around and looked at the girls guiltily.
At this time, Qinyin said: "Young Master, Miss Yu Liuli is so reluctant to leave. Why don't you take her with you? We will only have one more sister."
"That's it! If you like it, bring it with you!" Several people nearby also started making trouble, but Li Chouxin knew that these were all jokes and should not be taken seriously.
So he said: "Miss Liuli, it's not because you are worried or unwilling, it's just..."
"Needless to say, Liuli knows what Young Master Chouxin means. Today, my daughter is just here to see you off. She has no other thoughts. She also hopes that Young Master will not forget what Liuli said that night." Yu Liuli interrupted Li Chouxin's words.
"It's still wrong. How did Yu Liuli know that we were leaving today?" Seyu asked another question that Li Chouxin found difficult to answer.
Zhang Xiaopan didn't think much, he opened his mouth and said, "Master and I met Sister Yu Liuli on the street last night."
Only then did everyone understand and stared directly at Li Chouxin.
Li Chouxin was about to say something, but Yu Liuli shook her head: "Let's go, Mr. Chouxin, if you stay a little longer, you will feel better. The girls will definitely not forgive you."
Li Chou was helpless, and after saying goodbye, he rode away from Yu Liuli and headed straight out of the city.
But Zhu Wei, the girl, looked at Yu Liuli as she walked past the carriage and said mischievously: "Sister Liuli, don't worry, Brother Chouxin will miss you." Then she hurried towards Li Chouxin.
Yu Liuli looked at the group of people leaving, and it was inevitable that she felt a little more sad.
A few people left Xunyang City and didn't know where they would go next. It was just that they were so attached to the mountains and rivers, there were beauties and apprentices, they were really carefree.
At this time, Pei Chen, who had left overnight, had arrived at Wangjing City, thirty miles east of Xijing City. He was covered with a yellowing long sword, and passers-by pointed at him when he saw it.
"Wangjing is right next to Xijing. It's ridiculous that this person dares to come to this prosperous place without even a decent sword!"
"Where did you come from, a poor woman with rags and rags and a broken sword to scare people like others?"
"...."
However, Pei Chen ignored it and walked straight towards a simple roadside wine stall.
"Shopkeeper, bring me half a pound of good wine and two pancakes."
The shopkeeper seemed familiar with what he heard, but he didn't dare to confirm, so he walked towards Pei Chen and took a closer look.
"Is it Brother Pei?" the shopkeeper asked quickly.
"Yes, it's me. Come get the wine quickly. I'm very thirsty." Pei Chen said.
The shopkeeper didn't say much and served a pot of good wine, a pound of beef and two pancakes.
"Brother Pei, why did you come back suddenly? Is it true?"
"Yes, some things have been gathering dust for too long. It's time to remind some people." Pei Chen said while taking a swig of wine.
"Brother Pei, do you need help?"
"No need, just sell your bar well. This is my business alone. If you come here to ask for a drink, you have repaid your kindness. After today, just pretend you have never seen me!" Pei After Chen finished speaking, the man didn't say anything more.
This shopkeeper was originally a police officer who worked in the Wangjing government office. He was framed by Shangguan and took the blame. He was later rescued by Pei Chen. The traitor was also found out by Pei Chen. Later, the policeman went to the market to sell wine. Life is a lot easier.
Not long after, Pei Chen ate and drank well and left the wine stall.
At this time, Pei Chen did not plan to go directly to Xijing, but planned to give a big gift to the man in the palace in Wangjing.
Back then, Pei Jianyi got into trouble because he hit Gao Yonglu, Gao Bishan's godson, because of an injustice on the road. Originally, Pei Jianyi was also a swordsman in the palace. Logically speaking, he would not have ended up like this. He only hated Gao Bishan. After listening to Gao Yonglu's jealous words, he made slanderous remarks in front of the emperor, framed his family teachers, and eventually all his family members were slaughtered.
But now that Gao Bishan lives deep in the palace, it is difficult to move him. And the chief culprit, Gao Yonglu, is here in Wangjing. In recent years, relying on Gao Bishan, he has been doing random things in Wangjing and collecting money from countless women. He is already the biggest culprit in Wangjing, and it will be difficult to recover until he is eliminated.
Pei Chen first walked towards Gao Mansion and sat by the wall opposite Gao Mansion for the whole day.
As night fell, Pei Chen saw the surroundings quieting down and knew that the time had come.
Walking towards Gaofu, the guards of Gaofu saw Pei Chen's appearance and cursed: "Go away, go away, you don't even look where you are, how dare you come here to beg."
Pei Chen ignored it and drew out his long sword to seal his throat. The rusty sword sent out a huge sword intention that directly shattered the gate of Gaofu.
When everyone in the high house heard the noise, they gathered all the guards and came forward to surround him. They saw Pei Chen chopping melons and vegetables. Dozens of people fell to the ground one after another, leaving no one alive.
Wherever Pei Chen went, blood was spilled, and no one who had done evil in high places was spared.
Gao Yonglu also came out to check the situation at this time, but was frightened by the scene in front of him. He hurriedly called the masters who were usually raised in the house to protect him.
Pei Chen was still fearless and pressed towards Gao Yonglu. Seeing this, everyone around him stepped forward to resist, but they were no match for Pei Chen's attack.
Gao Yonglu had no idea what was going on and asked hurriedly: "Who is the hero? Why did you kill me, Gao Mansion?"
Pei Chen sneered and said, "Oh, you are the one who killed me. Have you forgotten what you have done?"
Gao Yonglu woke up from a dream, "You are, you are that person's disciple."
As soon as Gao Yonglu finished speaking, he was killed by Pei Chen with a sword, and his blood flowed all over the ground.
At this time, the cries of women, children and children came from the room next to them. Pei Chen opened the entire facade with a sword. Inside was a maid protecting Gao Yonglu's wife and son.
When Pei Chen saw this, he said: "The sword in my hand will not kill women, children and children, but only the evildoers."
The three people knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Pei Chen said, "I have to trouble you three to go to Xijing and send a message to Gao Bishan for me, saying that that man's apprentice is back. If he asks anyone, tell him the man who killed him with a sword." "
After Pei Chen said that, he turned around and walked out of Gao Mansion calmly, as if nothing happened.
