Chapter 33: Duel! Also apprentice!

On the way back to Fumanlou, Li Chouxin was telling his romantic story in the Xunyang Poetry Club all the way, but he didn't expect that he would become a hot topic of conversation among the people of Xunyang after tea and dinner in such a short period of time.

But at this time, it is important to go back to Fumanlou first, and I don't know what I have been discussed with a few girls, the more I think about it, the more I feel bad, and I can't help but speed up my pace.

Not far from Fumanlou, Li Chouxin saw six girls waiting at the door from a distance, and Li Chouxin began to have a smile on his face and walked towards several girls with a weak heart.

"Yo! Isn't this our merry and talented man with a sad heart? How? Finally willing to come back? Zhu Wei was the first to ask.

Li Chou was a little embarrassed, and replied in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, little Zhu Wei, aren't I coming back." ”

Shuyi came out at this time and said, "Hmph! Childe didn't say that yesterday, he said yesterday that he would come back later, and now it's dawn, so it's too late! ”

Li Chouxin looked at the annoyed looks of several people, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Qin Yin also came out and joked: "It's rare that the son has a romantic night and still remembers that there are our sisters, it's really embarrassing for the son." ”

Li Chouxin knew that it was difficult to make it clear this time, after all, the few people in front of him usually shouted their own sad brothers, and today they all called their sons, and it seemed that it was difficult to reconcile for a while.

"I really forgot the hour after a few more drinks last night, which made you worry that it was wrong, and I am here to apologize to you."

Several people looked at Li Chouxin with a sincere attitude and still didn't intend to let him go, and said: "Childe is also romantic, and it is still Childe who apologizes and takes advantage of him at this time, but our sisters are not easy to fool." ”

After listening to Seyu's words, Li Chouxin hurriedly looked at Ziwei, after all, several people listened to Ziwei's words, Li Chouxin could be regarded as asking Ziwei for help, although Ziwei was angry, but in the face of Li Chouxin, she still did not hesitate to speak out.

"Sisters, forget it, this matter is also provoked by Zhu Wei, besides, the son has no intention of doing so, but he is talented, and he can't complain about others, how can there be a talented person in the world who is not romantic, don't make trouble around him, my worried brother still has to find Pei Chen in the broken temple in the east of the city today, don't affect him, let him have a good rest."

Seeing Ziwei helping him speak, Li Chou felt even more guilty in his heart, knowing Ziwei's friendship for him, and asking Ziwei to help him by saying things against his will, he suddenly felt that he was too inauthentic, so he assured the girls: "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Li Chouxin, promise in front of you today that I will never go home at night in the future, even if I don't go home at night, I can only stay with the girls." ”

When several girls heard Li Chouxin's words, their hearts began to be a little happy, and the angry expressions on their faces eased slightly, and Shuyi and Qiyun accidentally smiled.

Ziwei said: "Where do you stay and what does it matter to us, and you won't forget to take advantage of us in the next guarantee, it's really a playboy." ”

Listening to Ziwei's words, several girls also smiled and said, "That's it, who wants to stay with you." ”

Li Chouxin looked at the girls and said that they were unhappy, but in fact, they no longer blamed themselves, so they said: "Okay, I'm afraid of you, whoever wants to stay with me in the future." ”

Zhu Wei jumped forward at this time and said, "Worried brother, they don't want to, Zhu Wei is willing!" ”

Seeing that Zhu Wei had seized the opportunity, several people stepped forward to squeeze Zhu Wei behind them, and hurriedly said: "Worried brother, it was all angry just now, and we are willing." ”

Several people said unashamedly in front of the door that they wanted to sleep with Li Chouxin, completely losing their dignified and elegant ladylike image.

Li Chouxin felt that the matter was almost over, so he shouted a few people to walk towards the building, and finally passed the questioning of several people.

"A few beautiful sisters, I have to go to Pei Chen next afternoon, now I need to go back to the room to prepare, I can't accompany a few girls this morning, and I'll see you at lunch." After Li Chouxin finished speaking, he hurriedly ran upstairs and closed the door without waiting for a few girls to speak, which can be regarded as a sigh of relief.

Li Chou returned to the house, thinking of Pei Chen's appointment, he didn't dare to be careless, and took out the intriguing trick that he hadn't practiced for a long time to cultivate, and every time he reached the critical moment when the second layer broke through the third layer, he couldn't break through, it seemed that the realm of the third layer of soul control was indeed difficult to reach, so he turned to participate in the study of the Milky Way for nine days, but he didn't expect that although this move seemed simple, if he wanted to give full play to the strength of his master, he really needed to continue to cultivate for some time, and if he was too hasty, he would only gain more than he would lose.

Li Chou saw that his cultivation was also stagnant, but he fell asleep directly on the bed, after all, he communicated with Yu Liuli for too long last night, and his spirit was not high, so it was better to make up for sleep at this moment.

After this sleep, it was noon, and I was still awakened by the knock on the door outside the house, as usual, and several girls were waiting for me to eat.

Li Chouxin turned up his tired body, sorted out his clothes and walked out.

Several people looked at Li Chouxin's sleepy appearance, and they didn't forget to tease.

Qin Yin said: "It seems that the sorrowful boy and the jade glass little beauty were overworked last night, and this physical and mental strength is overdepleted!" ”

When Li Chou heard this, his face was so hot that his whole face turned red.

Several girls looked at Li Chouxin's appearance, and they all covered their mouths and smiled.

Qiyun, who usually seems to be well-behaved, also said: "It seems that this sad brother last night was really a spring supper." ”

Li Chouxin spoke at this time, "A few girls, please be more dignified, don't make fun of this matter anymore, what do you want to eat today?" Worry about arranging for everyone. ”

I have to say that Li Chouxin's efforts to divert the topic are still good, or that several girls still buy their own accounts, so they don't continue to ridicule them.

A few people came to the table and sat down and let Xiao Er serve some food.

When Li Chouxin looked at the food on the table, he began to mutter: "These people were waiting for me here, no wonder they stopped just a few words and brushed themselves." ”

Zhu Wei pointed to a plate of dishes on the table and said, "Brother Sad, this is the scrambled eggs with leeks that Sister Qinyin specially ordered for you." ”

Then Qin Yin also said: "This is the soft-shelled turtle stewed quail that Sister Seryu ordered for her worried brother." ”

Seeing this, several people also began to introduce the dishes.

"This is the wolfberry black chicken soup ordered by Sister Shuyi, this is the yellow braised eel ordered by Qiyun, and this is the braised venison ordered by Sister Zhu Wei."

After some introduction, Li Chou couldn't sit still, after all, the table was full of dishes, and the embarrassment on his face was suddenly revealed, but he still felt a trace of comfort in his heart, after all, everyone ordered this dish to remind themselves, but Ziwei didn't, it seems that Ziwei is good to herself.

But not long after this thought appeared, Zhu Wei said again: "This is the three-whip tonic wine that my sister ordered for my worried brother." ”

After Zhu Wei finished speaking, several girls burst out laughing.

Li Chouxin realized that the vinegar of several girls was difficult to eliminate, and it was still ruthless to say that Ziwei was ruthless, but he was helpless, so he could only swallow the good intentions of these girls one by one, after all, he was at a loss.

A few people teased Li Chouxin like this to finish lunch, and Li Chouxin felt hot all over his body, he must have made up too much, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Not long after they returned to their rooms, Li Chouxin was about to go out with three feet three after making preparations, and at this time, several girls were already waiting at the door. After all, Pei Chen finally promised himself, but he was still inevitably excited in his heart, and wanted to go to the appointment earlier, even if he waited there for a little longer, he was willing.

"Brother Sorrowful, I know you can't wait, so we've been waiting for you for a while, so let's go with you." Ziwei said.

Li Chouxin knew that it was difficult to refuse at this time, so he agreed to take a few people with him.

Li Chouxin and a few people did not delay along the way, and arrived outside the broken temple in the east of the city early.

Not long after the people arrived, Zhang Xiaopan found out and asked, "What are you doing here, you are not welcome here." It seems that this Zhang Xiaopan has forgotten what he said when he was drunk the day before, and thought that Li Chouxin didn't know about Pei Chen's invitation.

Zhu Wei couldn't bear it and said, "You little brat, didn't you send a message the day before yesterday that your eldest brother Pei Chen and my son-in-law are competing here?" ”

Zhang Xiaopan replied a little anxiously: "Nonsense, I only ate and drank with you the day before yesterday, and I didn't say anything like an agreement." ”

Zhu Wei replied: "Obviously, you said it after drinking, but three days later, in the evening, there will be a competition in the broken temple in the east of the city, and Hugh will play tricks." ”

Zhang Xiaopan tried hard to recall, but he really couldn't remember, and he wanted to continue to defend himself. At this time, a voice came from the broken temple with the door closed, "Xiao Pan, you don't have to stop them, there is indeed this agreement." ”

Zhang Xiaopan saw that Pei Chen had already spoken, and did not say anything more.

"Sorrowful son, Pei has been wasted for a few days, he is still in retreat at this time, and he can only get out of the customs in the evening, it seems that the sorrowful son is coming early, can you wait for Pei for some hours." Pei Chen's voice came from the broken temple again.

"It's okay, it's sad that I can't wait to come early, Brother Pei Chen just retreats with peace of mind, and when the time comes, you can come out to compete, and you should wait."

So, several people chatted with Zhang Xiaopan outside. Several girls curiously surrounded Zhang Xiaopan to ask this and that, and from time to time took out some delicious snacks for Zhang Xiaopan.

Li Chouxin found a stone, sat down, closed his eyes and waited for this moment to come.

As the sun waned, the afterglow swayed back and forth on the weeds that were taller than people's heads, like sword shadows chopping up an area in front of them, and the sunset shone on everyone's faces, and people became sentimental.

The door of the broken temple also slowly opened at this time, Pei Chen tidied up his hair, walked out of it with a wooden sword, and stood next to the broken incense burner that was shattered by Li Chouxin's sword that day, facing Li Chouxin, looking like a hero.

"Sorrowful son, I've been waiting for a long time!"

"It's okay, waiting is also a kind of cultivation." Li Chou replied.

Pei Chen nodded after listening to Li Chouxin's words, and said: "Since this is the case, let's start, but Pei Mou has a word first, no matter what the victory or defeat is today, Pei Mou has one thing to trust, and I hope that the son will not shirk at that time." ”

Li Chou didn't think much about it, and said: "You and I are both bold people, Brother Pei's trust, and I should be worried." ”

Listening to Li Chouxin's answer, Pei Chen said: "Then please ask Brother Chouxin to take out the sword first!" ”

Li Chouxin stood on the stone with his sword in his hand and said: "Guests are as they please, or Brother Pei Chen will take out the sword first!" ”

Seeing that no one was willing to take out the sword first, Zhang Xiaopan, who was standing in the distance, said: "None of you want to take out the sword first, so let's play the sword together!" ”

After hearing this, the two acquiesced.

Both of them stood silently with their swords in their hands, and suddenly the wind moved, and dust rose everywhere. At the moment when the wind stopped, the two of them swung a sword intent towards each other, and Li Chouxin swung a sword at the edge of the sun, only to see a sword intent like sunlight destroying the withered grass on the ground and heading towards Pei Chen.

And Pei Chen swung out a sword intent that seemed to be feminine but was actually fierce, and it also swept the grass and trees towards Li Chouxin's sword intent, this sword is called Fubo, as its name suggests, it seems to be as soft as an undercurrent, but in fact, it is surging.

The two powerful sword intents converged, and a loud sound came out with scattered weeds and stones, and for a while the sky was dark, and the surroundings fell into a gray cloud, and the two of them also took a few steps back with the collision of sword intent, and this move was evenly divided.

At this time, Pei Chen said: "After this move, it seems that the strength of the two of us is comparable, and then the second move will each use their strongest style, how about a sword to determine the victory?" ”

After Li Chouxin took over Pei Chen's move, he also sighed at Pei Chen's superb swordsmanship, and now he has only learned two strokes of Chang Geng's sword intent, so he said: "This is exactly what I mean." ”

So both sides are brewing their own strongest formula.

Several girls watching the battle hurriedly asked Zhang Xiaopan on the side: "What is your brother Pei's strongest style?" ”

Zhang Xiaopan also said: "I just heard that Brother Pei Chen said that this move is called Angry Waves, and I know that this sword intent is like a surging wave on the sea, weakening the opponent's strength one by one, and finally rolling the opponent into the countless sword shadows that are dark and churning, which is very powerful, but I have never seen Brother Pei Chen use it." ”

Everyone sweated for Li Chouxin when they heard this, but it was too late to stop it at this time, and victory or defeat was just between this breath and breath.

Li Chou knew that Pei Chen's swordsmanship should not be underestimated, so he rose into the air and swung a sword towards the ground, only to see that sword turned into three thousand sword shadows to cut off the dense weeds on the ground, and thousands of weeds wrapped three thousand sword shadows towards Pei Chen, and the momentum was very terrifying.

Zhang Xiaopan saw it in his eyes and knew that this sword was many times stronger than the sword that Li Chouxin had swung on the street before, so he hurriedly reminded Pei Chen to be careful.

Pei Chen opened his closed eyes, and also used his angry sword intent towards the thousands of sword shadows that attacked, only to see that the sword was like a tumbling wave up and down, as if everywhere he passed was swallowed up by a rolling wave, and the weeds and earth and stones on the ground also rose with the surge, heading towards Li Chouxin's sword intent.

The two swords intersected, and this round did not immediately erupt with a huge collision power like the first sword, only to see that Li Chouxin's sword shadow was wrapped by Pei Chen's angry waves and was not immediately devoured by the force, but instead kept flying and resisting in the package, the two sides were still evenly matched, only to see those sword shadows and weeds converge into a ball and roll continuously between the two, rolling bigger and bigger, and finally completely integrated, and then a huge sound broke out, and then the ground shook and the dust flew, Several onlookers were so blinded by the huge afterglow and light that they saw that the two of them were still standing in place, and this time no one retreated.

"What is this? Who wins and loses? Zhang Xiaopan asked in time.

"Little brat, it's so obvious that you can't see it, it's a draw." Qin Yin said.

And the two people who fought against each other also put away their swords at this time, and that was the end of it.

"Brother Pei Chen, your immortal and sword moves are really as the master said, it is indeed difficult to win for a while, Pei's swordsmanship is really worthy of its reputation." Li Chouxin said first.

When Pei Chen heard this, he also replied: "The sorrowful boy has been promoted, I know that the sorrowful boy has not all his sword moves, if the sorrowful son uses the third form, he will definitely be defeated." ”

Then the two laughed and walked over to each other and shook hands.

"Providence! Back then, Shizun and Ling Shizun were tied, and now you and I are the same, it seems that there is a destiny in the dark. Li Chou said to Pei Chen.

But Pei Chen said: "Sorrowful son, why don't you and I agree again, how about a competition after he improves himself in the future, and then he will have a showdown?" ”

Hearing Pei Chen's words, Li Chou was very happy and said, "It's so good, it's a word." Could it be that Brother Pei Chen already has a new plan? ”

At this time, several people watching the battle also came to the two to check whether they were injured. Seeing that the two of them were fine, he was relieved.

At this time, Pei Chen looked at Zhang Xiaopan, and then said to Li Chouxin: "Sorrowful son, I said before the competition that there is something to trust, and now that it has been tied, Pei's trust, please also ask the sorrowful son to agree." ”

Several people were a little puzzled when they heard this, and Li Chou was the same.

Pei Chen saw that several people were puzzled, and called Zhang Xiaopan to his side.

"Get on your knees, Xiao Pan! I'll explain something to you. After Pei Chen finished speaking, Zhang Xiaopan knelt on the ground and faced himself.

But Pei Chen said: "Xiao Pan, turn around and face the sad son." ”

Although Zhang Xiaopan was puzzled, he still did it.

"Xiao Pan, you have been with me for many years, although Brother Pei can protect you thoroughly, but this is not the best result after all, the flying elephant trick you practiced is also difficult to integrate with my swordsmanship, and following me has limited your development, the outside world is very big and exciting, you should not be bound to Pei's side, today big brother I will call the shots, find a good teacher for you, and follow him in the future." Zhang Xiaopan, who heard Pei Chen's words, was already in tears.

However, Pei Chen continued: "Sorrowful son, I know that this will inevitably make you a little embarrassed, but please also ask the sorrowful boy to accept Xiao Pan today, let him follow you, I see the sorrowful son's swordsmanship is the most suitable path for Xiao Pan to practice, and Xiao Pan is well-behaved and sensible, and will not make the sorrowful son embarrassed." ”

Seeing that Pei Chen had made up his mind, Zhang Xiaopan knelt on the ground and couldn't stop crying, and asked, "Brother Pei, don't you want me?" ”

Pei Chen was also very uncomfortable, but he still said: "Xiao Pan, you must be obedient, you have promised me to listen to me that day, today is the time to fulfill your promise, and it is your best choice to follow the sorrowful son, and besides, your brother Pei still has something to solve, and now it is time to end everything." ”

"No, no matter where Brother Pei goes, I am willing to follow Brother Pei." Zhang Xiaopan said while crying.

Pei Chen became serious: "Xiao Pan, do you want to break your word and not listen to Brother Pei?" ”

Zhang Xiaopan didn't say anything more, just kept crying.

"Worried son, please don't refuse Pei's entrustment." Pei Chen continued.

Li Chouxin hesitated for a moment, looked at Pei Chen, and said: "As long as Xiao Pan is willing, he will follow Sorrow in the future, and Sorrow will definitely teach him." ”

"That's good, Xiao Pan, don't apprentice yet!" Pei Chen said to Zhang Xiaopan again.

Zhang Xiaopan was a little reluctant, looked at Pei Chen, and saw that Pei Chen's eyes were firm and his mind had been decided, Zhang Xiaopan still kowtowed to Li Chouxin with great reluctance: "The master is above, and he will be worshiped by the apprentice." ”

At this time, Li Chouxin hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Xiaopan and said: "Now that you have worshiped me as a teacher, follow me in the future, the vast world should have your Zhang Xiaopan's name." ”

Li Chouxin turned to Pei Chen again and asked, "Brother Pei Chen, I just said that there is something to do, whether you want to go to Xijing, you can also help." ”

Pei Chen waved his hand and said: "This matter is my Pei Chen's business, it should be settled by me personally, thank you for your kindness, I just hope to treat Xiao Pan well in the future, if he is destined to be fate, you and I will drink wine together and compete." ”

Li Chou also knew that Pei Chen's trip was more auspicious, so he entrusted Zhang Xiaopan to himself, and wanted to go to Xijing alone to end the old incident of the Pei family's annihilation, and he no longer persuaded him, but said: "Brother Pei is careful when he goes, don't forget today's appointment, as for Xiaopan, Brother Pei just rest assured, he will be sincere in the future, and he will definitely be able to appear in front of Brother Pei with an extraordinary posture one day." ”

Pei Chen said "I hope this day will come sooner" and walked towards the broken temple, and did not say a word to Zhang Xiaopan.

Zhang Xiaopan kowtowed three times to Pei Chen's back, wiped away his tears, his eyes were firm, and shouted at Pei Chen: "Brother Pei, Xiao Pan will definitely not let you down, wait for Xiao Pan." ”

After Zhang Xiaopan finished speaking, Pei Chen threw the wooden sword in his hand behind him, stuck it straight in front of Zhang Xiaopan, and said while walking towards the broken temple: "Xiaopan, you and I have known each other, and there is nothing else to give, you can take this immortal, I hope it can be famous again with you in the future!" ”

After finishing speaking, Pei Chen closed the door of the temple and broke up with Zhang Xiaopan.

Zhang Xiaopan faced the broken temple, took the wooden sword in his hand, knelt on the ground and watched the broken temple for a long time.

At this time, Ziwei stepped forward, came to Zhang Xiaopan, and said, "Xiaopan, get up, we will be your family in the future, and your master and sisters will treat you well." With that, he helped Zhang Xiaopan up.

Seeing this, several girls also stepped forward to comfort Zhang Xiaopan.

Later, Li Chouxin also took Zhang Xiaopan and a few girls to leave the broken temple.

In the broken temple, Pei Chen watched the figures of several people leaving behind the door, his eyes still couldn't help but moisten, but he was still very happy in his heart, after all, Zhang Xiaopan also had a new world from now on.
