I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 38: The Living Henchmen and the Temple Priests

Pei Ju wanted to find someone from the police station to tell them that he had just seen the person who killed someone last night.

However, he soon saw a man from the Detective Department in plain clothes, quickly approaching the place where the man in work clothes had just appeared.

He felt that there should be many people in plain clothes among the morning crowd. At least he felt that those people were different from ordinary people.

"Why is he still here?"

"Why didn't you run further away all night?"

This thought flashed through Pei Ju's mind.

All the way to school, Zhou You handed him another love letter and said, "Give it to Chen Wenjuan for me."

Pei Ju was a little confused.

In consideration of bringing him to school and buying him buns, he took the letter. This time the letter paper was green, the green of the green grassland.

Pei Ju came to the classroom and was afraid of being misunderstood, so he found Liu Yijiajia again and asked her to pass it on, explaining that it was a love letter from Zhou You from Class 8.

Liu Yijiajia curled her lips and said nothing.

When he said this, Wang Xiaoxia, who was not far away, turned around and glanced quickly. Pei Ju caught her gaze. She had looked at him before, but after hearing what Zhou You said today, he felt a little uneasy.

It was the time of classes, recess, playing, and sleeping. Some boys and girls hid there, listening to music with headphones, or reading novels, oblivious to the outside world and concentrating on reading the pornographic books.

have lunch.

Coincidentally, he arrived late and it was difficult to find a seat. There was always a large empty space next to Ye Youruo, so he sat down next to her and found that she had a lot less rice than the last time they met, and the dishes in her bowl were mainly vegetables. Of course, there was also a chicken leg and a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

Pei Ju finished his meal in one breath and found that the other party was watching him eat while chewing. He only heard her say, "Do you want to eat more?"

"what?"

"Chicken leg, I didn't move it." Ye Youruo asked.

"Why do you ask me to eat this?" Pei Ju asked?
"It seems like you haven't eaten enough." Ye Youruo said.

"You don't want to eat?"

"There's too much soy sauce. It's too greasy. I don't want to eat it." Ye Youruo said.

So Pei Ju picked it up and ate it. It was very delicious.

After lunch, Pei Ju still had some time, so he went to the sword club, where he played one against three others and had fun for more than an hour. In the afternoon, he had class and wanted to sleep, so he couldn't help but sleep for the whole foreign language class.

After school in the afternoon, he fought a few more matches in the sword club, still one against three.

After working up a sweat, I gained some experience in one-to-many communication and felt refreshed. Then I headed home and arrived at the place where I encountered the newsstand yesterday. There was still a newsstand there, but the style of this newsstand was very different today.

The people inside are different too.

Yesterday it was an old man wearing glasses reading a novel, and today it was a woman. Pei Ju looked at the newspapers in the newsstand again, and the top one read "Why are there strange cries in the middle of the night?"

Another read: "Dream of thunder, Commissioner Lei enters the dream to punish the fish monster."

this is normal.

"Classmate, do you want to buy "The Story of Minglan"? " asked the woman in the newsstand.

"Do you know what it is?" Pei Ju couldn't help but ask.

"Do you know how it can broaden your horizons and allow you to truly understand the world? It will be a soulmate of your soul and help you find your spiritual home." The woman introduced enthusiastically like a liar.

"Oh, my soul has already found a home, so I don't need to." Pei Ju reached out and touched the coins in his pocket that he had saved from not having to pay for breakfast. He walked all the way home and did not encounter any strange things or people on the way.

When I got home, I saw a box on the table with a few books in it. I picked up one and knew it was a notebook without even opening it.

There are several books, some thick and some thin.

He picked up the top book and read it.

The first page has the words [Pei Xu] written on it.

Day 1: I entered the world inside the temple. It was different from the Tiger Temple. This place felt like a real world...

The next day: I am the third child here, and the younger people call me Third Uncle.

Day 3: I started traveling around the world and fighting with people, but soon I found that fighting with people was meaningless, so I decided to kill monsters.

Day 4: For the first time, I responded to someone's request and lived in an ancestral hall. In the middle of the night, there was a strange noise, first in the darkness, under the table, on the beam, and finally in front of me. I sensed where it was, drew my sword, the noise stopped, and a monster appeared, it was a fox.

Pei Ju was shocked when he saw this, because this scene was exactly the same as the first time he and his third uncle went to the ancestral hall to kill a fox.

But here he is alone, while in his own experience, it is himself and his third uncle.

And his father's name in it was actually called Third Uncle.

Later, as he continued to watch, he discovered that the routes his uncle had taken and the things he had done were actually the same things he had done while following his uncle.

Finally, Uncle San received a request from a wealthy family to go to the mountain temple to exorcise evil spirits.

He lived in a thatched hut on a small slope among the rice fields outside the town and refined his sword skills.

This sword technique is called the Ghost-Killing Sword Technique.

Pei Ju was shocked.

Because what he is learning there now is the ghost-killing sword technique, but if it is his father, why doesn't he just sort it out outside?

However, the subsequent doubts were soon resolved.

Day XX: "I have compiled a sword technique for killing ghosts in here. If those who come here learn it, they will no longer rely on ghosts and gods to kill ghosts. From then on, my Pei family can also break free from some of their constraints. This time, I will enter the temple and kill the evil ghosts. If I succeed, my Pei family will completely get rid of its status as a living ghost. If not, those who come here later do not need to come here again."

When Pei Ju saw this, his heart began to pound and his back felt cold.

"We, the people of the Pei family, are 'living accomplices'?" Pei Ju was horrified.

At this time, Master Pei Si came over and said, "Have you finished reading your father's notes?"

"I've finished reading it." Pei Ju looked up at his grandfather who was serving the dishes, his eyes blank.

"Your father said that we are walking lackeys, which is actually not wrong. Do you know what a lackey is?" As Mr. Pei Si started to speak, a breeze seemed to rise in the sword hall, and the shadow of the Eight Immortals Table seemed to become heavier.

Pei Ju knew that the word "伥" should not be said here, but his grandfather said it anyway.

"A '伥' is a ghost. A mountain lion is a tiger, and ghosts are all people eaten by tigers. Your father said that when we entered the Mountain Lion Temple, our souls were already being eaten, and it was difficult to escape. The reason I was able to suppress it was because of your grandfather's help. He allowed me to become a 'temple keeper' after becoming a '伥'."

"Let's eat first, and read the book below after you finish eating." After Master Pei Si finished speaking, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat. The shadows under the table around him were swaying under the light bulbs swaying in the wind. Faintly, he could hear some laughter.

The shadow seemed strange, as if it was going to wrap up and swallow the two people under the lamp.
