I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 45 Outsiders
The night breeze is gentle.

Normally, the wind is hot in this densely populated city, but it is quite cool in this training hall.

Ye Youruo lived next door before and had never been here. This time when she entered the sword hall, she actually felt like she had entered the deep mountains.

This training hall is like a cave, which gives people a gloomy feeling.

She felt oppressed, as if something was watching her from the darkness.

She has had a keen sense of perception since she was a child.

Han Yitong spoke, and Mr. Pei Si naturally would not refuse.

Immediately ask Pei Ju to clean up a room.

Ye Youruo stood there for a while, then ran over to help Pei Ju clean the room.

Neither of them said anything and silently made the bed. Fortunately, it was summer and no thick quilt was needed. She also had bedding next door, so she just had to wipe the bed clean and then bring it over to make the bed.

After cleaning, Pei Ju accompanied her to get the things she needed.

The next door was naturally very clean and tidy, and there was a fragrance in Ye Youruo's room.

When they came back with the things, Han Yitong was gone.

Pei Ju went to help her put her things up, made the bed for her, and then came out.

When they came downstairs, Mr. Pei told him that Han Yitong was still dealing with the affairs of the [Marine Environmental Protection Association], and she would be very busy especially at night and would not have time to take care of Ye Youruo. Moreover, her residence was a bit far from the school, so she hoped that she could stay here for a few days.

Someone should come to her house in a few days.

……

After falling asleep, Pei Ju stood in the temple world, practicing Qigong, and at most he would enjoy the breeze on the hillside outside.

After waking up, he went to the yard to practice sword skills a few times, and then Ye Youruo also got up.

After that, the two went to school together. When Zhou You saw Ye Youruo coming out of his house, he was stunned and immediately rode away on his bike without saying anything about taking Pei Ju with him.

So Pei Ju didn't have any buns to eat today, so he bought four pancakes and ate them all by himself. Ye Youruo also bought two.

Then the two of them took the bus to school together.

That night, he asked Ye Youruo if she wanted to go jogging. She said no, but wanted to practice sword with him, so Pei Ju taught her sword.

She didn't necessarily want to learn swordsmanship, she just wanted to let off some steam after being tired.

Pei Ju took out a wooden stake from his home and asked her to chop it. The wooden stake was wrapped with cloth, so it wouldn't make much noise.

That day Pei Ju taught her a move.

Step forward and chop with the sword.

And shout it out.

Then, crisp "ha" sounds appeared in the room.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it has been a month.

Neither Ye Youruo nor Pei Ju had expected that Ye Youruo would stay in the sword hall for a whole month.

Pei Ju's life is simple yet fulfilling. He has a lot to learn. He teaches Liu Yiji in the sword club and teaches Ye Youruo after returning home.

In the sword club, he can already beat four people in a sword fight because he is faster and his sword has more power.

This effect was achieved because Pei Ju had already gained a very concrete feeling from the breathing method he used while standing still. He felt that there was a stream of energy in his body that moved according to his consciousness, and it was this energy that made his movements faster and more agile.

His body was seen moving swiftly and swiftly between the three men and their three swords, spinning among them, while the sword in his hand kept swinging out sword flowers.

He swung the sword inwards, outwards, and behind his back. He was among four men, yet he didn't fight back. He simply blocked with his sword. His body moved with the sword, and the sword moved with him. Surprisingly, none of the four men were hit by the sword.

Liu Yijiajia, who was standing next to them, clapped her hands until they turned red.

However, someone finally came to Ye Youruo's house, and she moved back.

Pei Ju no longer had to accompany her on the bus to and from school.

Because, on this day, Liu Yijia gave him a bicycle and said, "Pei Ju, happy birthday to you."

"My birthday?" Pei Ju was very surprised. He didn't even remember his own birthday, but he remembered it at this time. Because he had never celebrated his birthday, he often forgot it. There was no such day in his heart. Only when he heard about other people's birthdays would he think of his own birthday.

Either it hasn't arrived yet, or it has already passed.

"How do you know today is my birthday?" Pei Ju asked.

"If I want to know, of course there is a way to find out. As long as you want to understand someone, there is always a way to find out." Liu Yijiajia said with some pride.

Pei Ju looked at the bicycle and thought that since he taught her sword-fighting and didn't charge her for training, she must be repaying him in this way. It just so happened that he needed a bicycle again.

"Thank you." Pei Ju said.

"You're welcome." Liu Yijiajia was wearing a beige short-sleeved shirt, with her hands behind her back, swaying her body, revealing her white teeth.

Pei Ju accepted the bicycle.

……

The world inside the temple was pitch black.

He found the tinder brought by the farm manager in town and lit the lamp.

I went outside and practiced sword for a while, and then stood still to practice breathing.

Suddenly, he saw lights in the distance swaying in the wind.

The light was coming from the other side of the mountain, not from the town.

Throughout my life, I have been to many places with my uncle, but not that place.

Moreover, Pei Ju now understands that this world is actually formed with the mountain temple in this mountain as the center. Anything too far away is like a fog and cannot be passed through at all.

And now the place where the light comes from is the place in Pei Ju's heart that cannot pass.

"Did someone go there and come back, or did someone pass through the fog and come here?"

This thought flashed through Pei Ju's mind.

The light came from afar and walked for a long time, until Pei Ju woke up, but it still hadn't come closer.

He told his grandfather about this situation. After a moment of silence, his grandfather said, "As for the situation inside, as long as you don't go around everywhere, the whole world will be like a static state."

"In the situation you described, it may be that someone has entered the temple world." Master Pei Si said.

"Outsiders?" Pei Ju asked in surprise, "Can outsiders come in?"

"There will always be a way." said Mr. Pei Si.

"What should we do then?" Pei Ju asked nervously.

"Don't worry. If an outsider finds you and asks you to go into the temple with him, you must refuse." Master Pei Si said seriously.

"I know, grandpa, I won't go in." Pei Ju said seriously.

"Back then, your father didn't go in alone. Instead, he met someone there and went in with that person." said Mr. Pei Si.
