I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 23 Can’t Die

Pei Ju stood in the corner, looking at everything in front of him under the light.

He even felt that when his grandfather slashed with his sword, the light was cut apart.

After the second sword was chopped down, the tip of the sword was still hanging above Lin Tai's head, while Grandpa came to another direction, which was the west.

He still lowered his brows, took a deep breath, and spoke.

"Three cuts, cut away the fear."

As Mr. Pei Si finished speaking, he once again raised the sword above his head and swung it down.

This time, Mrs. Lin's body actually trembled under the black Bagua cloth.

Pei Siye held his sword above Mrs. Lin's head and walked around her, arriving at the north position.

Pei Ju changed direction and looked to the west.

"Four cuts, cut off the evil spirit in your heart."

This time, Master Pei raised the sword in his hand, but Pei Ju discovered that this time, there seemed to be an invisible light gathered at the tip of the sword, as if the light of the only lamp in the place was gathered at the tip of the sword, or as if the largest star on the ceiling also dropped light on the sword.

At this moment, grandpa's figure seemed to become tall and majestic.

With a swing of the sword, Pei Ju clearly saw that it was moving faster, and the Ghost-Killing Copper Coin Sword passed through the void, and it seemed to bring out a faint glow of fire.

At this moment, Pei Ju clearly noticed that Lin Tai seemed uneasy, but before she could stand up, the sword had already fallen, and she immediately calmed down.

Moreover, Pei Ju also discovered that the sword landed at the location of her fontanelle, which is the place where the soul enters and exits according to legend, or the place where ghosts enter and exit.

Put away the sword and put it back on the sword rack.

He turned around and said, "Lin Jing, wake up."

Lin Jing is Mrs. Lin's name.

Mrs. Lin's body trembled, as if she had woken up from sleep.

Then, Mr. Pei Si lifted the black Bagua cloth covering her head, and Mrs. Lin's face appeared in Pei Ju's eyes again.

He looked into her eyes and found that they were much calmer than before.

"Every time I come here and put on this bagua cloth, I feel like I've fallen asleep, and when I wake up, I feel so relaxed."

Lin Tai stood up, straightened his clothes and said.

"It's good to be able to relax. Be careful not to worry too much in daily life." Mr. Pei Si said. He had said this many times.

Then the three of them left the cabin.

Mrs. Lin and her son paid two hundred yuan and left. For such a treatment, Mr. Pei always charged two hundred yuan. If he met a poor person, he would charge less or even nothing.

After that, the two began to cook dinner.

Today we had taro stewed with pork ribs. Pei Ju’s favorite thing was taro. He liked it no matter whether it was stir-fried, braised, or stewed with something else, so his grandfather often bought taro for him to eat.

He ate two large bowls of rice in the evening.

After that, after practicing sword, he fell asleep again.

And this time, he continued with yesterday's dream.

In his dream, he had already obtained the "Ghost Killing Sword Technique". This set of sword techniques was not for fighting with others, so naturally there were not many sword moves.

Instead, it is about how to use a visible sword to kill an invisible ghost.

Therefore, first of all, you must be able to sense the presence of ghosts, just like fire is invisible, you must be able to see or feel the temperature of the flame. If you want to be able to sense the presence of ghosts, then you must reach a certain level.

This state is called "Sword Heart is Clear". Only when one reaches the state of "Sword Heart is Clear" can one sense ghosts, or even see ghosts, and use a visible sword to kill invisible ghosts.

There are three training methods here, namely cutting fire, cutting water, and cutting wind.

One sword can extinguish the flames, one sword can cut off the water droplets, and one sword can disperse the wind balls, and it can kill ghosts and gods.

When Pei Ju saw the words "kill the god", he was stunned. No wonder his third uncle went to that temple. He originally thought that he could really kill it. Moreover, he had always heard his third uncle say that ghosts and gods are one. Those who receive incense are gods, and those who do not receive incense are ghosts.

In order to achieve this, it is mainly necessary to unite the mind and form a breath of energy.

We must have a fearless spirit, the courage to make decisions in times of crisis, and the confidence to win.

When you have all these, and combine them with the clear sword heart, you will be able to slay demons and kill gods.

Looking at that book, it seemed as if the words had penetrated into my heart and I would never forget them.

When he woke up again, it was already dawn.

This time, he was not confused, but his heart was filled with passion.

He knew the way forward for his swordsmanship, and his sword skills had reached a very high level in his dreams. After all, he had participated in many sword fights in his dreams, which made up for the disadvantage of not having many people to teach him moves over the years.

"Grandpa, do you think the world in the temple is real or fake?" Pei Ju asked his grandfather who was washing rice while washing up.

"Do you think this world of yours is real or fake?" Grandpa asked.

Pei Ju said without hesitation: "It must be true. How can our world be fake?"

"Then what is the basis for you to judge the truth?" Grandpa asked again.

"Of course it's us. It's everything we see, hear, and feel," Pei Ju said.

"These are all determined by our human consciousness. If you can't feel anything in this world, does that mean this world is fake?" Mr. Pei asked again.

Pei Ju suddenly found that his grandfather's words were very philosophical.

"Grandpa has asked and thought about what you're asking before," Fourth Master Pei said. "Later, someone told me that everything has two sides. The other side of truth is falsehood, and the other side of reality is illusion. All things carry yin and embrace yang, and the two sides of yin and yang will transform."

"And this world also proves this point. The mysterious leak is a manifestation of the transformation from yin to yang, from illusion to reality. You say they are fake, yet they are able to infiltrate our world. Everything you see in the temple may one day become reality."

Pei Ju had already attended a class on the secret forbidden science and knew of the existence of the "Mountain King." He immediately realized that his question about truth and falsehood was too superficial.

"It's just a name. The question of truth or falsehood is too far-fetched. What you need to do now is to practice your sword skills well and not let yourself become the parasitic body of 'Ghost'."

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll pay attention." Pei Ju said, and then asked: "In that temple, what is the ultimate goal?"

Master Pei glanced at the shrine on the Eight Immortals Table and said, "Everyone has a different goal. You can experience it in it. Or maybe everyone is the same, except that no one makes it to the end."

Pei Ju had a vague feeling in his heart, but it still needed to be verified.

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Grandpa, can I die in there?"

The Fourth Master was silent for a moment, then said, "Your father died in there."

"what?"

"After he died in there, he was haunted by ghosts and there was nothing I could do to cure him." Master Pei's voice was a little heavy.

"So, don't go into the temple." Master Pei Si said solemnly.
