Wu Xiang had already put his things away, and Quan Wanqiu led him back. The two of them listened to Zhong Nanxun's story for a long time.
Hearing Li Xin'an's question, Quan Wanchou nodded, "It's similar to Zhong Nanxun. He was defeated by Mr. Pei Min with one move, but Mr. Pei scolded me much more harshly than him."
"Then what did the master say about you?" Li Xin'an asked curiously.
"Alas, Master Sword Master scolded me for practicing the Haoran Zhengqi Sword, but not the Haoran Zhengqi Man. Therefore, the human sword cannot be integrated into one, and it will be difficult for me to reach the top of the sword in my life."
The bearded man smiled mockingly, "That's right, I, Quan Wanqiu, have been in the officialdom all my life. Although I have never made a name for myself, I am just a little bad guy, but I have done a lot of bad things and collected dirty money."
.I'm sorry for the masters and the common people. How can I have the dignity to say that I practice Haoran Zhengqi? Hehe..."
"At the beginning, I was very high-spirited. I first joined the army and then became an official. I wanted to make a big career. My master advised me that it was okay to join the army but not to be an official. Otherwise, it would be difficult to progress in martial arts and would cause inner demons. I didn't listen and still
Saying that the master is fine, I will strengthen the school... bullshit! When I joined the army, Quan Wanqiu, I was a high-ranking second-grade man, nearly fifty years old, but in the end, I was only in the realm of returning to the Yuan Realm, and accomplished nothing..."
He fell silent, seeming to remember the high-spirited young man back then. Li Xin'an looked up, unable to tell whether the bad handsome man was feeling nostalgic or regretful.
"Mr. Pei Min woke me up, and I suddenly realized that I have been a zombie for so many years. But since I was awakened, my cultivation will naturally be affected. Mr. Pei Min said that if I can correct it,
, within thirty years, there are still people who are expected to enter the state of return to true nature.”
"That's fine, I have nothing to worry about now. Although I am married, I have no children, so I don't have to worry about my descendants. There are many young people in the master's sect who are popular among the people. Practice slowly, but you have to wait.
Thirty years, by then I would either be dead or have no interest in returning to my true self, haha..."
After Quan Wanqiu finished speaking, he then clicked his tongue and said: "Although the two of us were awakened by the Sword Master, we are really stupid when we think about it. Why did we come to challenge the Sword Master in the first place? If this spreads out, it won't be possible.
Shame on you!"
Li Xin'an chuckled, "It's not embarrassing to lose to my master."
Quan Wanqiu glanced at him sideways and raised his eyebrows, "Hey, Master Li, you are calling me a master. What's going on? How did Mr. Pei Min accept you?"
As soon as he said this, Zhong Nanxun also looked over with curiosity. He wanted to ask clearly when he was in the alley, but because he felt Pei Min's anger, he gave up.
This... Li Xin'an is in trouble, and the reason cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences. How should we explain it?
It can't be said that Pei Min accepted him as his disciple just to curry favor with Li Linfu.
I didn't know how to explain it, so I simply didn't explain it. Li Xin'an said: "Hey, master, he is naturally interested in my qualifications."
Quan Wanqiu looked at Li Xin'an and then at Wu Xiang on the side. No matter how he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.
It was Zhong Nanxun who tried to smooth things over and said to Quan Wanqiu: "Mr. Pei Min certainly has his reasons. What are you fussing about here, a big old man?"
Quan Wanqiu rolled his eyes at him and didn't bother to pay attention.
The knock on the door rang again, and a familiar voice shouted: "Master, open the door."
Pei Min stood up from the recliner, walked over slowly, opened the door, and Sanyu jumped in with a pile of fish.
"I said, Uncle Quan, you have eaten so much in this meal, can you finish it?" Sanyu complained.
"Little Changyu, don't worry about me. I can't finish the meal and give it to the beggars." Quan Wanchou said roughly.
Sanyu almost spits out old blood in one mouthful. You can't finish eating and share it with others. If you had known better, you wouldn't have asked for so much. My hands are getting sore from walking all the way. None of you three old guys can cook. Originally,
It's easier to cook for the old man alone, but now I have to take care of the three of you, and I'm going to be exhausted!
He looked at his master with resentment, and so did you. If you want to die, you will win if you win. Why are you leaving them behind?
The old man didn't look sideways and didn't see Sanyu's resentful gaze at all. He leisurely returned to the recliner and lay down.
Sanyu seemed to accept his fate, sighed, and was about to go to the kitchen with a sad face, when he suddenly saw Li Xin'an.
"Junior brother, why are you here?" Sanyu said almost instantly
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He immediately rushed to Li Xin'an, knelt down and said with a smile, "We haven't seen you for a few days, senior brother, I miss you."
Li Xin'an was startled and took a few steps back. Wu Xiang immediately stood in front of him and said angrily: "What are you doing!"
"Don't get in the way, I'm talking to my junior brother!" Chang Yu gently pushed Wu Xiang aside.
Li Xin'an was puzzled. Sanyu was very unfriendly to him when they met. Why is he so...kind today?
"Shangyu, you stinky boy, why don't you go cook quickly? Do you want to become a teacher while hungry?" Pei Min said lazily.
Sanyu's face froze, and he could only walk to the kitchen with a grimace, feeling secretly resentful in his heart. This old man could only do so much for him, but he didn't allow himself to have a good relationship with his junior brother. What was this?
Li Xin'an said dumbfounded: "Master, senior brother, what's going on?"
"What else can happen? Yesterday, your father sent two copies of sword-making materials. There were too many extra materials. I promised to make one more for your senior brother, and he went crazy with joy. No, now I'm not treating you like this.
I started to fawn over him."
"No wonder little Sanyu giggled all day long yesterday. That's what happened."
"Mr. Pei Min, are you going to make a sword?"
The two masters of swordsmanship stared at Pei Min with burning eyes. What kind of peerless sword was it that was forged in the first-level heaven and human realm?
From ancient times to the present, there are many examples of masters forging swords for themselves and their apprentices. However, there are only two places where masters of the heaven and human realm have done this.
The first is Wudang Mountain. The masters of the past dynasties are masters of the Heavenly Realm. They will forge a sword for Wudang and keep it behind the Zhenwu Hall to protect Wudang's luck.
The second is the Seven Kills Sword House on Jiannan Road. As long as the owner of the house reaches the realm of heaven and man, he will use his own essence and blood as a guide to forge a sword and bury him in the forbidden sword tomb. According to legend, the Seven Kills Sword House selects
The method of the new Lord of the House is not inheritance by blood, nor succession of apprentices, but placing all his disciples in the sword tomb, and the disciple who can finally get the sword forged by the Lord of the Heavenly Realm can succeed. But the sword
The murderous aura lingered in the tomb, and the sword aura flew everywhere. Many disciples could not bear the sword aura of the sword tomb and died in it. This also made the Seven Kills Sword House decline and gradually become lonely. Nowadays, many disciples in the world have become
It’s rare to see the disciples of Qisha Jianlu walking around.
There are really only a few swords made by masters of the heaven and human realm, and there has never been a sword made by a master of the heaven and human realm that has been found in the rivers and lakes. Even Zhong Nanxun and Quan Wanqiu have only heard about it, let alone seen it with their own eyes.
He made a sword, so it's no wonder that the two of them are so concerned about this matter.
"Master, when will you start making swords?" Li Xin'an rubbed her little hands with anticipation on her face.
"Since you have moved here, can you bear to delay it for a long time? The sooner the better, let's do it tomorrow." Pei Min said.
"But -" he changed his words, glanced at Li Xin'an, then stared at Zhong Nanxun and Quan Wanqiu, who also looked expectant, and said with a smile: "I still need your help."
Zhong Nanxun and Quan Wanqiu looked at each other, and they both sensed a hint of conspiracy.
Dusk has arrived, and Sanyu brought out the prepared meals with a tired look. Because there were more Li Xin'an and Wu Xiang, there was not enough space in the house, so everyone unanimously decided to go out to the yard to eat.
Wu Xiang tried his best to refuse at first: "I am a servant serving the young master. I am not qualified to serve at the table. The few masters can just eat and don't worry about me."
Li Xin'an was about to speak, but Quan Wanqiu preempted him, "Young man, this is not your Li Mansion. There are not many rules. You can serve it as you are told."
Sanyu sat on the steps, looking helpless, and said: "Damn it, I specially made it for six people. If you don't finish it, don't even think about leaving this yard!"
Wu Xiang glanced at the young master secretly, and the latter nodded. He breathed a sigh of relief and had no worries.
Although Li Xin'an didn't have these rules in private, Wu Xiang could go to the table to eat with him. Li Linfu saw him once and didn't say anything. But it was at home after all, and Wu Xiang didn't dare to make any mistakes when he was away from home.
Again, he didn't want others to say that his young master had no tutor and couldn't control his minions.
The stone table in the courtyard was not small, and it was more than enough for six people to sit together. Quan Wanqiu devoured the food on the table, splattering a lot of oil. Zhong Nanxun, who was sitting next to him, had a livid complexion and body.
His clothes, as white as snow, had long been stained with oil stains.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I wish I could give this person next to me a slap in the face and eat it! Why don’t I eat you to death?
Sanyu took this opportunity and gave his junior brother a bright smile, "Junior brother, I haven't seen you coming these past two days. What are you busy with?"
Li Xin'an, who was chewing slowly, heard this, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said with a wry smile: "I got sick two days ago and have been lying in bed. I am not allowed to leave the house, so I can't come to see you."
Pei Min, who was sitting next to him, touched Li Xin'an's forehead and said, "You still need to pay attention to your recovery. Your illness is not cured yet."
Li Xin'an said "hmm" and looked at Pei Min, but hesitated to speak.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. You and I, master and disciple, don't have to worry." Pei Min said with a smile.
Li Xin'an sighed, "Iron Armor Sect Chu Yingsheng...is dead."
Hearing this, Quan Wanqiu, who was devouring his food, and Zhong Nanxun, who quietly touched the hilt of the sword, both stopped what they were doing and raised their heads to look at Li Xin'an.
"On the night I returned, he instigated a horseman in my yard and sneaked into the Li Mansion. However, Li Linfu got the news and ambushed 1,500 people in the underground organization of the Li Mansion in advance.
Elite soldiers also dispatched three crossbows and a thirty-man Mo Dao team assigned to him by the saint. Chu Yingsheng was chopped into pieces by Mo Dao..."
Recalling the original scene, Li Xin'an felt nauseated again.
"I know about this."
Pei Min said calmly, stroking Li Xin'an's little head and smiling: "I finally understand why you suddenly became sick. It turns out you were scared."
"You know?" Li Xin'an's eyes widened. This matter was supposed to be a secret of the Li family. How could Pei Min know about it?
"Not only Mr. Pei Min, but all the second-grade and above masters in Chang'an City can feel it." Zhong Nanxun took over.
"That night, after I had a fight with my husband, I was meditating in the secret room at home to appreciate the art of sword energy, but I was interrupted by my disciples. When I went out, I saw that the yard was surrounded by Jin Wu guards. I was puzzled, and then
I felt the aura of Chu Yingsheng's return to his true state, and then I suddenly realized that this stupid young man actually..."
He stopped talking and sighed, with some sadness deep in his eyes.
He and Chu Yingsheng had met several times during the Tianji Tower Martial Arts Review, and had also fought against each other. They were not close friends, but they could be regarded as heroes who cherished each other. Now that Chu Yingsheng was dead, he would inevitably feel a sense of desolation.
feel.
Quan Wanqiu nodded and continued: "Me too, I was sleeping well at home, but suddenly I was called to the county government office. As soon as I got there, I saw the county magistrate with a sad face. A general from the Jinwu Guard told me to give in.
I don’t want to leave tonight. After tonight, there will be no more restrictions there. How can I offend him? Just as I was about to leave, I saw a group of forbidden soldiers on the street in front of the county government office, with all their swords out of their sheaths. I knew at that time that it must be
Something big happened, but I was far away and my cultivation level was still low, so I didn’t feel it was Chu Yingsheng. I didn’t know what happened until I arrived in the city the next day.”
After saying that, he sighed: "You are worthy of being a hero of a generation for daring to do things that ordinary people would not dare to do. But what he did... cost him his own life and disturbed the whole city of Chang'an."
"How is this going?"
"The whole city has been under martial law for the past two days, and all the people in the world have been strictly guarded. Many of them have been thrown into prison. Your master and I are no exception. It was not only the Jinwu Guards who came to watch over me, but also the North and South Yamen.
The Forbidden Army, the Left and Right Yulin Army, and my old colleagues in the court, haha, there are many people who earnestly advised me not to do stupid things." Pei Min said.
"Shang Yu was so frightened that he told me, old man, are you also involved? Don't take me with you if you are looking for death. Forbidden army men, I am a good citizen, and I don't know him. Huh, stinky
Boy, if you still have the nerve to sit down and eat, go stand up!"
Sanyu looked sad and angry, "Who have I provoked? Can't I eat the food I cooked?"
He now wishes that Pei Min had a hand in it so that he could be caught.
