Volume 1: A Sword Comes from the West Chapter 6: The Old Treasurer Who Picked His Feet
As the Jingde Sect disciple got closer and closer, everyone's faces were filled with malicious smiles.
Li Xiuping stood on the steps and looked at the other person with no fear on his face.
The man walked up the steps, pointed his long sword at Li Xiuping, and said, "Boy, it's too late for you to beg for mercy. Otherwise, if I strike with my sword, you will have no chance."
Li Xiuping said: "You retreat now, I don't care, otherwise I promise to make you pay the price."
The man holding the sword was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, and even the long sword in his hand trembled up and down, as if it might pierce Li Xiuping's body at any time, "I really want to know how you, a waste with no spiritual roots, can do this.
Do I pay the price?”
Li Xiuping corrected him: "Not only will you pay the price, but your sect will also pay the price."
This time, everyone laughed.
The man holding the sword suppressed his smile and looked down at Li Xiuping with fierce eyes, "Originally, if you had only to kneel down and beg me, and then obediently help us forge swords, we wouldn't make things difficult for you. It's a pity that this opportunity is gone."
After saying that, he stabbed out the long sword in his hand, actually intending to kill Li Xiuping directly.
However, the next moment, everyone's eyes widened, almost thinking that they had seen it wrong.
After the sword was thrust out, it trembled violently, and then the Jingdemen disciple holding the sword staggered back and fell down the three steps in front of the blacksmith shop. The long sword in his hand was, for some reason, struck by
Li Xiuping held it in his hand.
"A small monk in the Qi training stage dares to show off his power in front of me. Since you are in the Qi training stage, I will kill you with the Qi training stage."
After saying that, Li Xiuping shook the long sword in his hand, and the sword seemed to have suddenly become spiritual, with a clear and sharp light.
Li Xiuping raised his long sword and slashed it down.
"not good!"
The Jingde disciple standing at the front shouted loudly and unsheathed the long sword on his back. His body instantly appeared in front of the fellow disciple, and at the same time he raised the long sword in his hand.
A ray of sword light cut down from the steps of the blacksmith shop and hit the long sword in the hand of the Jingdemen disciple.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, the two Jingdemen disciples flew backwards and fell heavily into the grass beside them. They spurted out a large mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound, then rolled their eyes and both fell unconscious.
"Crack!"
There was a crisp sound, and the sword in the hand of the Jingdemen disciple split on the spot!
The remaining four people looked at this scene with their hearts in their throats.
Doesn't it mean that Li Xiuping has no spiritual roots? How could he be so powerful? With just one sword, a monk at the third level of Qi training and a monk at the fifth level of Qi training were seriously injured and comatose. The power of this sword alone was enough to rival Zhu Zhu's.
A strike from a strong man in the base period.
A fourteen-year-old foundation-building expert?
The four of them looked at the young man on the steps with shock, confusion, and fear.
Not far away, Xu Bansheng, who was returning with a roast chicken, happened to see this scene. The roast chicken in his hand fell directly to the ground. He swallowed involuntarily, but his throat was still dry.
It turns out that this guy killed the foundation-building monster for real.
"Who still wants to die?" Li Xiuping shouted coldly on the steps.
This cold shout immediately brought everyone back to their senses. Looking at the astonishing young man on the steps, who dared to step forward? The four of them turned around and ran away without any hesitation, not even paying attention to their classmates on the ground.
As the four people disappeared completely, Xu Bansheng also picked up the roast chicken on the ground and walked towards the blacksmith shop. The shock in his heart did not dissipate, and he asked in disbelief: "How did you do it?"
Li Xiuping did not answer. His body trembled suddenly, and blood instantly spilled out of the corner of his mouth. The long sword in his hand made a "chacha" sound, and then the entire sword body cracked like a spider web, and then turned into countless fragments.
, scattered on the steps.
Xu Bansheng was shocked. He stepped forward to support Li Xiuping and asked, "Are you okay?"
Li Xiuping shook his head, glanced at the hilt of the sword left in his hand, and threw it away.
Xu Bansheng helped Li Xiuping into the blacksmith shop and asked, "Is everything okay?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "I didn't control it well. I used too much force. Just rest for a while."
Xu Bansheng was hesitant because Li Xiuping's situation was not good and not as easy as he said.
In fact, Li Xiuping's current situation is indeed not good. He was able to use his sword intention before because he had a hatchet forged by a special method that could resonate with the sword intention in his body. But the sword he used before was someone else's sword.
, and it was an ordinary sword, because that sword could not withstand the sword intent he released, let alone suppress the sword intent in his body, so it suffered the backlash of the sword intent.
Li Xiuping had never encountered this kind of situation before, so he didn't know the extent of his injury.
What Li Xiuping is most worried about now is not his injuries, but whether the previous sword will damage the sword intention in his body. Once the sword intention in his body is damaged, all his efforts over the years will be in vain.
Xu Bansheng asked: "What to do with the two guys outside?"
After Li Xiuping calmed down for a while, he felt a little better and said casually: "It's up to you."
Xu Bansheng nodded, then looked around, then walked to the corner of the blacksmith shop, picked up a rope, and walked out of the blacksmith shop.
Seeing this guy's behavior, Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown, and quickly understood what Xu Bansheng was thinking.
Obviously, this guy was worried that he wouldn't be able to deal with the two people after they woke up, so he tied them up while they were unconscious, and then taught them whatever lessons he wanted.
Li Xiuping originally wanted to remind him that the injuries of those two guys would only be more serious than his. Even if they woke up, they would probably have trouble walking and they would not pose a threat at all. But at the moment, his body was really tired, and Xu Bansheng was already dead.
If you step out of the blacksmith shop, you have no choice but to give up.
Just as Li Xiuping guessed, after Xu Bansheng walked out of the blacksmith shop, he dragged the two people who were still unconscious together, and then tied them up with ropes.
It must be that he was too fat. After this round of operation, he was already sweating profusely, so he just sat down on the ground and gasped for air.
In the blacksmith shop, Li Xiuping did not pay attention to the situation outside, but felt the situation inside his body with his heart. As the feeling of fatigue gradually disappeared, Li Xiuping was surprised to find that the sword intention in his body was moving at an extremely fast speed.
increase.
This situation happened before after fighting monsters, but it was not so obvious, which surprised and delighted Li Xiuping.
In the past, it was necessary to constantly swing the forging hammer to slowly accumulate sword intent, but later on, no matter how much the forging hammer was swung, the sword intent generated was very little; later, after entering the Night Travel Division and fighting monsters, the sword intent in the body
There is an increasing effect again. But with the continuous fighting in the past two years, the effect has become weaker and weaker. It has never been as obvious as this moment.
Li Xiuping directly followed the sword-raising method left by Mr. Ou Ye and guided the sword intent growing in his body, just like forging iron tools, using a special method to forge these sword intent.
Xu Bansheng walked into the blacksmith shop and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Xiuping, who looked much better. He probably discovered that Li Xiuping was doing a special kind of practice, so he didn't bother him, but turned out of the blacksmith shop.
Take out a big wooden basin and walk out of the blacksmith shop.
The blacksmith shop was originally built on the bank of a clear stream, so Xu Bansheng directly drew a basin of water from the stream, walked towards the two Jingdemen disciples who were still unconscious, and poured a basin of water over their heads.
The two unconscious people woke up leisurely, and soon found that their bodies were wrapped around by ropes, unable to move at all, so they could only look up at Xu Bansheng.
Xu Bansheng held the big wooden basin and grinned.
"Who are you? Let us go quickly, otherwise my master will definitely kill you."
Because the two were tied back to back, one could see Xu Bansheng, but the taller one couldn't. He only thought it was Li Xiuping's doing.
"Your grandfather Xu Bansheng of the Huayang Sect, you two short-sighted things, dare to bully my disciples of the Huayang Sect. Today I will let you see your grandfather Xu's methods." Xu Bansheng said, putting the hands in his hands.
The wooden basin was knocked upside down on their heads, but the two guys couldn't get away at all.
Xu Bansheng looked around, found a wooden stick, and struck hard on the basin.
No matter how the two begged, Xu Bansheng would not stop until he was tired of knocking. At this moment, the two guys had passed out again. So after Xu Bansheng had rested, he took off the wooden basin and went to get another basin of water.
Wake them up again, then close the wooden basin and continue to beat. It's a great time.
Pity these two guys, I'm afraid they will never forget what happened on this day in their lives.
Probably because he was worried about getting someone killed, or because he lost interest. After repeating this a few times, Xu Bansheng stopped continuing. He just woke up the two of them and warned: "People from Huayang Sect who see me in the future will know.
How did you do it?"
How could the two of them dare to say no and keep begging for mercy without any trace of their previous arrogance?
It's a pity that Li Xiuping didn't see this scene, otherwise Jingdemen probably wouldn't have met the tragic end of almost being destroyed.
Xu Bansheng shouted to the blacksmith shop: "Junior brother Li, I guarantee that when these two guys see you in the future, they will definitely kowtow to you and never dare to be disrespectful. Do you think you will let them go? They are always tied up like this.
It’s not a big deal if you’re wearing it.”
"Just do whatever you want."
Li Xiuping's voice came from the blacksmith shop.
Xu Bansheng untied the two of them and threatened: "If you dare to appear in front of your Grandpa Xu again, your Grandpa Xu will definitely let you know what cruelty is."
No matter how seriously injured the two of them were, they did not dare to stay here for a moment. They rolled and crawled, just hoping to disappear from the sight of the demon named Xu.
Seeing the two people fleeing, Xu Bansheng walked back to the blacksmith shop with satisfaction, only to see Li Xiuping eating the roast chicken he brought back. Only a chicken head and chicken bones were left on the ground. Then he was very happy.
A good mood suddenly turns bad.
Li Xiuping originally planned to send the last chicken head to his Five Zang Temple, but when he saw Xu Bansheng with a resentful look on his face, he couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you bring it to me?"
Xu Ban said angrily: "I didn't eat either."
Li Xiuping looked embarrassed. He handed over the remaining chicken head and said with a smile: "I thought you ate it."
Xu Bansheng seemed to be afraid that Li Xiuping would not even let go of the remaining chicken head. He jumped out, snatched the chicken head, put it into his mouth, and complained vaguely: "You are not a big man, you can eat it."
That's quite a lot. Master will bring you to Huayang Sect, and Huayang Sect will defeat you sooner or later."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "Huayang Sect can raise you to be so fat, so it will definitely be no problem to raise one more of mine."
After saying that, he stood up directly, glanced at his oily hands, walked out of the blacksmith shop, washed off the oil by the stream, and said to the blacksmith shop: "I will go to the city and come back to bring you dinner.
, but let’s talk first, I don’t have money to buy roast chicken. If you have some, I can help you. I can carry ten or eight of them.”
Xu Bansheng rushed out of the blacksmith shop, intending to yell, but he saw that Li Xiuping was already walking towards Qingyang County in the north.
Xu Bansheng was a little curious about what Li Xiuping was going to Qingyang County at this time. As for going to eat, this guy had just eaten a whole roast chicken, and there was no reason why he could still eat it;
Si came back, and that guy had been forging the hatchet all morning, almost forgetting to eat and sleep. There was no reason to abandon it after forging it halfway.
It was a pity that Li Xiuping had already walked far away, so he didn't ask. Besides, he was too tired from dealing with those two guys just now, so he had no intention of following them.
There is a restaurant in Qingyang County with a very elegant name: Shuiyunjian.
However, the owner of the restaurant is not elegant at all. He wears a greasy gray gown and lies in front of the restaurant in the sun all day long. From time to time, he picks his feet with his hands, and then picks his nose with the hands that have picked his feet.
Not to mention restaurants, any place doing business, if there is such a guy lying in front of the door, the business will definitely not be good. Just imagine, even if the food and wine made by such a person are delicacies, not many can eat them.
.
If there are still people in the world who can eat it, there are only two people, Mr. Ou Ye and Li Xiuping.
It can be said that Li Xiuping grew up eating food from Shuiyunjian.
In addition to such a sloppy old shopkeeper in Shuishuijian, there is also a handsome boy who is completely out of proportion to the slovenliness of the old shopkeeper. He wears a clean blue cloth shirt and often holds a rag in his hand.
Like a handyman, more like a knowledgeable teacher.
Li Xiuping walked to the door of the restaurant, kicked the couch under the butt of the old shopkeeper, and said loudly: "The monster has entered the city."
The old shopkeeper seemed to have been used to it for a long time. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at Li Xiuping and said, "Are you being bullied?"
Li Xiuping rolled his eyes and said, "You always hope that I will be better? You always hope that I will be bullied."
The old man closed his eyes again and said angrily: "Get out of here if you are not being bullied. The old man is busy basking in the sun and has no time to talk to you."
Li Xiuping sighed and said: "Ever since we were little, you have been looking forward to me being bullied, and this time you really did."
"Really?" The old man jumped up from the recliner, as excited as a child wearing new clothes, "Tell me quickly, is it Xuanqingmen or Jiuyuan Mountain? Or the Chen family, the first clan in Yunzhou."
