Chapter 41: The Storm Rises Again
After a good night, several people left Huguangju and returned to the Orchid Garden.
Everyone went back to their own rooms, because the face-to-face before separation would always be unacceptable, so they could only go back to their rooms to minimize the pain of parting, otherwise they would definitely shed tears in the Orchid Garden.
In the early morning of the third day, several people packed their things early and waited for the Qingning Elder of the Heavenly Mu Sect to arrive.
Li Chouxin also got up early in the morning and prepared to send them on their last journey.
The sound of horses' hooves, Qing Ning and the others had arrived outside the orchid garden, and everyone heard the movement and understood that it was the time to separate.
Li Chouxin, Qinyin, Xiao Pan and others sent a few people out of the Orchid Garden, although they were reluctant, Ziwei and the others still tearfully went on the back of the Tianmu Sect, and did not forget to say before leaving.
"Brother Sad, you must be waiting for us to come back in Xijing."
Li Chouxin forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart, nodded to the few people on the horse, and said, "Don't worry, Sorrow will remember the agreement." ”
Then, while wiping away tears, the few people gradually left the field of vision of Li Chouxin and the other four as the Tianmu Sect members gradually left.
A few people returned to the courtyard again, without Zhu Wei's noise, they suddenly felt that the fun of life was a little less, and the huge courtyard was empty for a while, and there were no warm scenes in the past.
Li Chouxin looked at the courtyard in a daze, and the few people behind him did not speak, standing quietly behind Li Chouxin.
Li Chou knew that sentimentality was not a long-term solution, since Ziwei and the others had embarked on a new journey, it seemed that he also had to go to Xijing, so he turned around and said: "Qinyin, Seyu, Xiaopan, let's also pack up and start today, it's time to go to Xijing, the most prosperous Xijing." ”
After hearing this, several people quickly put away their things, gently closed the gate of the orchid garden, and rode their horses to Xijing.
At this time, Ziwei and the others had also followed the Tianmu Sect out of the Jingdong Gate and headed towards the east.
Li Chouxin and others rode on the street, and saw the familiar scenes, the eight people who were still playing together in Wangjing yesterday, but now there are only four people left, and they feel very few.
It was also at this time that the news spread from the people on the street.
"Wangjing was shocked to find a peerless talent, last night in Huguangju a few words into a poem, a moment is four affectionate poems, it is rare, can be called the first talent in Wangjing."
"Master, are they talking about you?" Xiao Pan asked.
Li Chouxin said: "What a talented and beautiful woman, but just a false name, what is the use of coming." ”
Although Qin Yin knew that what others were talking about was Li Chouxin, she still asked the passerby knowingly: "Little brother! Do you know what is the man's name? Where to stay? ”
I saw that the man replied under the horse: "That person seems to be called Li Chouxin, he lives in the Orchid Garden, I heard that the local prefect will visit the Orchid Garden later, and I want to recommend it to the top and recruit Li Gongzi into the mansion." ”
Qin Yin turned his head to Li Chouxin and said, "Brother Chouxin, look, I'm really talking about you." ”
Li Chou was still unfazed, and said: "It's just the hype of Huguangju, just a few poems, how can they soar into the sky, don't pay attention to them, let them go." ”
After Li Chouxin finished speaking, he let out a long shout, sped up and ran towards the west gate, and when several people saw this, they quickly followed, and did not dwell too much on the boasting on the street.
Pei Chen, who was in Xijing, didn't know that Li Chouxin and Zhang Xiaopan were also coming towards Xijing, and after many days of investigation, Pei Chen decided to do it tonight and settle his past grievances with that Gao Bishan.
Zhang Xiaopan knew that he would be able to see Pei Chen when he went to Xijing, and he was very excited.
But Li Chouxin explained that Zhang Xiaopan should cultivate well, and he couldn't go to find Pei Chen at present, so as not to mess up Pei Chen's plan.
After listening to Li Chouxin's words, Zhang Xiaopan also seemed to understand the truth, and said: "I know, Master, I must practice hard these days, and it won't be long before I, Zhang Xiaopan, will shake Kyoto with a sword, so that everyone will know my Zhang Xiaopan's name." ”
Looking at Zhang Xiaopan's heroic appearance, several people finally smiled.
Thirty or forty miles, a few people rode horses for half a day without using to get to Xijing, or like Wangjing, a few people did not live in the inn, but found a small courtyard to rent, but this small courtyard is much worse than the orchid garden in Wangjing, but it is okay, a few people lived in the small courtyard in the alley on the outskirts of Beijing.
At this moment, Pei Chen was taking out the long sword borrowed from the Heavenly King from under the bed, he had put this sword under the bed for a long time, and the rust on it had grown again.
After these days of inquiry, Pei Chen knew that there were fewer guards in Gaobishan's mansion tonight, and a major event was being prepared in Kyoto recently, and Gao Bishan was the person in charge, so he didn't have too much defense, so he decided to do it tonight.
Pei Chen stared at the long sword in his hand, thinking back to the past when Gao Bishan killed Shizun's family on the charge of rebellion, the hatred in his eyes increased a little, and he said to the long sword: "I hope that after tonight, there will be a lot less injustice in this world." ”
With that, he fell back, facing up on his back, holding the sword to his chest, and waited quietly for the night to fall.
And Li Chouxin and others cleaned up the yard and bought a lot of new items, and in one afternoon, the entire yard was arranged in a decent and stylish manner.
The hour was already evening, and several people were drinking and eating in this courtyard, but Pei Chen was holding a long sword, full of murderous intent, and walked towards Gaofu.
Still the same as Wangjing, Pei Chen walked directly to the gate of Gaobishan Mansion, without saying much, and regardless of the guards' drive, a sword was crossed, several guards fell to the ground one after another, and then another sword, only to see that the gate of Gaofu and the plaque on the door were chopped to pieces together, and the huge sound alarmed everyone in Gaofu, and they rushed towards the door with weapons.
I saw a thin long man, holding a worn-out long sword walking into the mansion, the killing intent exuded from his body and those resolute eyes made everyone retreat, and no one dared to just step forward.
At this time, the commander of the guards of the Gao Mansion shouted angrily, "Who are you? Dare to break into the Earl's Court at night, and dare to commit murder, is it tired of life? ”
Pei Chen said in a low voice: "When the old man returns, please come out to meet Gao Bishan." ”
Seeing that this person was talking wildly, the commander was not good, and ordered all the guards to rush up and kill Pei Chen.
Pei Chen didn't panic, from one sword and one person to five or six people in the back, dozens of guards fell to the ground one after another, and the blood flowed down the cracks in the ground like a stream, and the commander and the few remaining people behind him were dumbfounded.
But at this time, he didn't care about anything else, he was also dead, and if he didn't go up, he was also dead, and ordered the person behind him: "Quick, continue to go up, and you must break this person's body into ten thousand pieces." ”
The people behind him didn't dare to disobey, and came towards Pei Chen again, Pei Chen was still resolute, did not cause too much pain to these guards, and easily solved a group of people, and the commander was nowhere to be seen at this time, most of them took advantage of the chaos to report to Gao Bishan, Pei Chen didn't care, and walked past the corpses and continued to walk towards the depths of the mansion, feeling that with every step, the breath of death also diffused forward.
After all, this high mansion is still big, Pei Chen just walked to the second courtyard, and a group of people rushed up with weapons, Pei Chen didn't want to delay any longer, and directly swung out a sword intent, and the people who came died in front of him, and he didn't even touch Pei Chen's sword.
At this point, Pei Chen began to be a little strange, how can he be full of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, a bit out of the norm, it stands to reason that even if not everyone is like a ghost, there must be a few masters with good skills, and this journey is inevitably too easy.
But the matter has come to this point, and there is no time to think about it, so I can only continue to step forward and step into the third courtyard of this high mansion.
As soon as I entered, I found that the first two courtyards of this high mansion were just a place for people to live and deal with miscellaneous affairs, but the third courtyard was much larger than the first two courtyards combined, and the layout and furnishings of the houses were many grades higher than those of the outer two courtyards.
Pei Chen continued to walk in, but there was no one in the third courtyard, and it was a little suspicious, not at all like Gao Bishan's style.
Pei Chen had no choice but to walk under the pavilion in the courtyard and shouted loudly: "Gao Bishan, the old man is visiting, why don't you come out and see it?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the figures on the roofs around him flickering, and their movements were light and sensitive, from this it can be seen that these people's cultivation is not low, Pei Chen thought to himself, this should be Gao Bishan's means of behavior, no wonder he is unscrupulous.
Just when Pei Chen was out of his mind, the people on the roofs around him jumped down one after another and surrounded Pei Chen, a total of twenty-eight people surrounded the pavilion where Pei Chen was located, it looked like a sword array, the long sword in everyone's hands was cold, and the momentum of each sword was better than the rusty sword in Pei Chen's hand.
"I didn't expect that Gao Bishan, the old thief, actually colluded with your Jade Sword Gate, it seems that most of the growth of the Jade Sword Gate over the years is the result of Gao Bishan fueling the flames behind." Pei Chen said with some contempt towards the group of people.
Twenty-eight people listened to Pei Chen's words, and their faces were a little puzzled and shocked.
After all, these twenty-eight people have been cultivating the sword formation in the Jade Sword Gate all these years, and they have never appeared in the rivers and lakes, but no one in the rivers and lakes knows about the existence of the twenty-eight people in the Jade Sword Gate, and everyone was a little surprised to see through Pei Chen's easy recognition.
I saw one of the middle people asking, "How do you know that we are from the Jade Sword Sect?" ”
Pei Chen smiled lightly, "I didn't know that you were from the Jade Sword Gate, but the movements and aura you just had on the roof were extremely similar to the cultivation method of the Jade Sword Gate, so I made a bold guess, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”
The person who had just spoken in the sword array realized that it was just Pei Chen deceiving himself just now, so he said with some anger: "Pei Chen, even if you have a wide range of knowledge, but today you will inevitably die, we twenty-eight people are the twenty-eight sword leaders of the Jade Sword Gate, each of us is a sword cultivation genius selected from thousands of people in the world, and the twenty-eight swords of the Celestial Star that we practice are even more secretly in line with the principle of the twenty-eight stars, and the changes are endless, forgive me no matter how high your swordsmanship is, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat my twenty-eight swords." ”
Pei Chen raised his eyes, looked at a group of people, exactly twenty-eight people, and said: "It seems that your Jade Sword Sect has indeed not been idle all these years, and you can create such a sword formation, it seems that the rivers and lakes are really back, but you are following the wrong person after all, since this is the case, Pei Chen understands." ”
After Pei Chen finished speaking, a sword swung towards the top of the pavilion, and the human body flew out of the broken hole with the sword intent, standing safely on the pavilion, and the long sword pointed directly in front of him.
When the people on the ground saw this, they all moved, and the sword shadows rotated back and forth in a circle, like a rapidly rotating gear, in which everything could be shattered.
Pei Chen had never seen such a sword formation, and he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, watching the changes in the sword formation.
I saw a series of sword shadows leaping out of the sword array, one after another towards him, the speed was like an arrow off the string, but each sword shadow contained extremely strong destructive power, Pei Chen resisted with a sword, but he didn't expect the sword shadows to attack one by one without stopping, and actually forced himself to take a step back.
Pei Chen also began to get serious, and instantly swung three swords towards the ground, and the three sword intents crossed and hit the sword array, but he didn't expect to be easily defused by the sword array.
Pei Chen was a little surprised, while Pei Chen was surprised, he saw that the seven people in the sword formation jumped up from different directions, and used different moves to surround Pei Chen, Pei Chen quickly resisted with his sword, and blocked the seven people back into the formation. Unexpectedly, it was still as if it had just passed, and the other seven people got up again, or different sword moves, such an attack lasted for four rounds, twenty-eight people and twenty-eight swords were all out, the swords and swords were different, and the power was endless, if it weren't for Pei Chen's knowledge in the way of the sword, he would inevitably suffer some losses.
Pei Chen felt the power of this formation, and knew that he couldn't fight for a long time, otherwise he would definitely lose the formation, so he carefully looked at the sword formation, and then jumped forward, as if he had found a way to break the formation.
Pei Chen thought to himself, this sword formation has a sharp move, and the sword intent is endless, if it is cultivated to the fullest, it is enough to revitalize a generation of sects. And now this sword array is difficult to crack from the outside, and can only be broken from the inside with his superb swordsmanship, and the success or failure depends on this bold attempt.
Pei Chen fell in the pavilion, holding the sword in both hands, carrying enough true qi, if he turned into four figures in an instant, he waved his sword in four directions, and the four sword intent went in all directions, Pei Chen returned to one person and one sword, in fact, it was not one person and four people, but the speed of swinging the sword was extremely fast, and it looked like there were four people swinging the sword at the same time.
Pei Chen knew that this sword intent would eventually be dissolved by the sword array, and the twenty-eight swords of the Heavenly Star were indeed a little strange, but the moment the sword intent hit the sword array, Pei Chen keenly noticed that someone's sword shook a little, thinking that maybe this was the opportunity to break the formation, and then flew forward, quickly blocking the rotating long sword, and a sword stabbed out, only to hear a scream, the rusty sword stabbed firmly on the arm of the person just now, and the entire sword formation stopped running in an instant.
Twenty-eight people were inevitably a little surprised to see that Pei Chen had found a way to crack the twenty-eight swords of Tianxing so quickly, but except for the one who had just been injured, the remaining twenty-seven people still attacked Pei Chen quickly in an orderly manner, each of them used different sword moves, which was extremely dangerous, and Pei Chen had to retreat immediately.
However, without the blessing of the sword array, Pei Chen knew that it was not difficult to solve them, but it would take a lot of effort.
Pei Chen, who was ready, was on tiptoe, and he once again killed between the twenty-seven people, and a rusty sword became bright and sharp under the wear and tear of the twenty-seven swords, and all the rust had been shaved off.
Seeing this, Pei Chen no longer kept his hand, and the long sword was open and closed, and there were both offense and defense, and many of the twenty-seven people couldn't parry Pei Chen's powerful sword intent and retreated one after another. With the decrease in the number of people, Pei Chen was even more handy, and after a while, the remaining people were repulsed, twenty-eight people stood together, looked left and right, and suddenly found that the twenty-eight people were injured by the hand holding the sword, and the heart was shocked by the high level of Pei Chen's swordsmanship, but a group of people did not intend to stop there, and they were about to come up by changing the long sword in the other hand, Pei Chen saw this, and knew that he had to make a dead hand, otherwise he would only delay his plan.
So Pei Chen used a move with ten successful powers, wanting to solve the twenty-eight people whose combat power had been sharply reduced.
I saw that sword intent like a stormy wave surging in, frightening the twenty-eight people who stood in place and lost their strength to resist, and they were about to become the souls of Pei Chen's sword.
"Bold Pei Chen! He actually wanted to hurt my Sword Sect disciple. The voice fell from the sky with a powerful sword intent, forcibly blocking Pei Chen's sword intent.
The old man with gray hair slowly fell, and Pei Chen fixed his eyes to see that it was Yu Zhenzi, the head of the Jade Sword Sect.
Judging from Yu Zhenzi's sword just now, Xiu Wei should be on par with himself, Pei Chen looked at Yu Zhenzi and said, "Yu Zhenzi, I didn't expect that even you would fall." ”
Yu Zhenzi stroked his beard and said: "As the saying goes, people go to high places, water flows to low places, there is no tall man, there is no today's Jade Sword Gate, and our cultivation will not advance by leaps and bounds, if it was before, my Yu Zhenzi would definitely be afraid of you, but today, you will definitely die." ”
Pei Chen knew that what Yu Zhenzi said was true, coupled with the power of the sword just now, plus these twenty-eight sword heads that still had the power to fight, it seemed that he was difficult to be good today.
Gao Bishan walked out of the middle room with a grim laugh at this time, and said to Pei Chen with a white and ugly face: "Since you said you want to come, I don't know if you are satisfied with this scene that our family has prepared for you?" ”
Pei Chen looked at Gao Bishan, all the anger on his body was ignited, and his momentum increased a little, and Gao Bishan, who had just spoken, was also shocked.
Pei Chen was about to head towards Gaobi Mountain with his sword, but was interrupted by Yu Zhenzi: "Pei Chen, your current opponent is me, please recognize the situation." ”
Pei Chen glanced at Gao Bishan viciously, and secretly hated the injustice of heaven in his heart, which always left the scourge for thousands of years, and it was difficult to get out of it today.
Turned to look at Yu Zhenzi and said, "Come on, let me see your true skills in the Jade Sword Sect now!" ”
Yu Zhenzi showed his long sword and motioned for the twenty-eight people behind him to attack together.
It seems that this Yu Zhenzi is not too stupid, knowing that it is difficult for him to win alone, he actually wants to win more and less, but Pei Chen is still not afraid, and he fights with Yu Zhenzi and others with a sword.
But the truth is finally as Pei Chen himself expected, he has been fighting for a long time tonight, and at this time, there is a Yu Zhenzi whose skill has increased greatly for some reason and is on par with himself, plus these twenty-eight sword heads whose cultivation is not low, Pei Chen is still difficult to parry, there are already many sword marks on his body, and the blood is slowly penetrating his clothes, but he has not yet been defeated.
Pei Chen was angry, his true anger was in chaos, and he was entangled with Yu Zhenzi and the others again, and the out-of-control sword intent shook several of the twenty-eight people to the point that their bodies were incomplete, and blood was sprinkled in the air, which was very miserable.
Pei Chen was also exhausted, and Yu Zhenzi seized the opportunity to stab him in the shoulder, the sword in Pei Chen's hand fell to the ground, spit blood from his mouth, and fell to the ground.
Just when Yu Zhenzi was about to kill Pei Chen, Gao Bishan suddenly spoke.
"Stop, put him in prison with a lute, and execute him on the street on a certain day, so as to deter those bold fanatics who despise the majesty of our family."
Yu Zhenzi originally wanted to make a name for himself by killing Pei Chen, but at this time, he didn't dare to do it again, so he had to do it.
"Come, send a document tomorrow to inform the rest of the Pei family in the city that the remnants of the Pei family have been arrested, and they will be beheaded at the execution ground in ten days to show the public, so as to set the record straight." Gao Bishan continued.
Then Pei Chen was pierced on the spot and dragged towards the secret prison of Gaofu.
And Yu Zhenzi turned to look at the scene behind him, and was shocked to find that there were only thirteen people left in his twenty-eight sword heads just now, and he secretly sighed in his heart that the power of Pei Chen's swordsmanship was really terrifying, if it weren't for the fact that he was exhausted by relying on the number of people and Pei Chen, he would probably not have a good end, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, Li Chouxin and the others didn't know it, and they were drinking in the small courtyard.
