I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 46 Bao Duxing

The next day was Saturday, and Pei Ju did not go to Wang Jianke again because he had already learned it and just needed to practice diligently.

After telling this to his grandfather, he decided to go into the temple world during the day to take a look.

Fourth Master Pei didn't want him to have contact with the outsider, but Pei Ju felt that his grandfather was actually contradictory. He was worried about him, but he also wanted to know who the other person was.

"Grandpa, didn't Dad tell you who he is?" Pei Ju asked.

"I did, but the other party didn't respond. He just said we'd talk after we came out of the temple. But after we went in, something went wrong, and that person never showed up again."

"If you must meet this person, you must not enter the temple." said Mr. Pei Si.

Pei Ju agreed.

Then during the day he fell asleep and entered the temple world.

This was also the first time that his uncle had seen daylight here since he entered the temple.

The daytime was not bright, but rather a dim sky.

He opened the door of the hut and saw a man sitting on the hillside outside.

When Pei Ju opened the door, the other party immediately turned around.

It was a face that looked very young, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old at most, but it had an unusual sense of maturity.

A sword lay across his knee.

When he stood up, he held the sword in his hand.

Looking at the way he stood up and turned around, Pei Ju knew that he was a good swordsman.

Because the opponent is standing sideways, the sword in the sword-holding hand is at the waist, and the other hand is also at the waist, so the sword can be drawn in the shortest time and at the fastest speed.

Of course, Pei Ju did the same after opening the door. He stood sideways, tightened his anus and abdomen, and maintained a posture ready to draw his sword at the fastest speed at any time.

The two looked at each other, and finally the other spoke: "Is your last name Pei?"

"My last name is Pei," said Pei Ju.

"Okay, my name is Bao Duxing, and I'm looking for someone with the surname Pei. My father's name is Bao Qianshan, you should know him." Bao Duxing said very seriously.

"I don't know." Pei Ju didn't know this name, because his father didn't write it down in his notes, he only told his grandfather.

The other party was stunned, then said: "You don't know? Do you know Pei Xu?"

"My father." Pei Ju said.

"Then why didn't he mention the name Bao Qianshan?" Bao Duxing said.

"I know that outsiders have entered here, but my father did not mention the name Bao Qianshan." Pei Ju said.

"Since you haven't mentioned it, let me tell you about the agreement between my father and your father. Back then, my father entered this spiritual field and met your father. They agreed to go to the temple to slay the demons, but ultimately failed and both died. However, my father told me that when I grow up, I must come here again and explore the temple with Pei Xu's descendants."

Pei Ju was a little surprised. The information he received was that he could not enter the temple again, but the information passed down here was "you must enter again".

What was going on? Pei Ju was a little confused. "Since both your father and my father died there, why did you have to go in?" Pei Ju asked puzzledly.

"Because there are great benefits in that temple, and don't you know one thing? The souls of those who die in here will be imprisoned here forever and become part of the operation of this world." The man said seriously.

Pei Ju could vaguely guess part of it, because ever since he knew that his third uncle was his father, and saw his father write the words "living ghost" in his notes, he guessed a little.

He suspected that after his death, part of his consciousness would be absorbed by this spiritual field, forming the characters here, such as the character of "Third Uncle".

Or perhaps, the other characters that I saw here were actually real people back then, but their souls were later taken away and they lived in this world in another way.

If I die in this world, will I become a swordsman guarding the farmland here, or will I disappear?
These thoughts flashed through Pei Ju's mind.

"Your father didn't tell you. It seems he's very pessimistic about how things will turn out, so he didn't tell you. But my father is optimistic. Or perhaps, your consciousness has been influenced, so you didn't tell, or you didn't dare to tell."

"But here, I want to tell you, you only need to go into that temple and kill the evil tiger, then you will be free, and you can also rescue our father's soul that was taken in."

“Also, there are huge benefits we can all gain.”

Pei Ju didn't care whether he could get any huge benefits or not, and he also knew that killing the spirit was the fastest and most direct way to obtain the power of the "spirit". Of course, this method would also carry the curse brought by the "spirit".

This method is also called spiritual seal, and most foreign countries call it curse binding.

Spiritual seal.

The reason why it is called spiritual seal is because people also have spirits, and spirits will be entangled with each other.

One spirit forms a mark on another spirit, and they merge together.

"Are they still in the temple?" Pei Ju asked.

"It is both there and not there, because it is in this world. In this world, the temple is one and the same. The evil spirits in the temple are constantly devouring the incense. It is growing stronger and wants to revive." Bao Duxing said seriously.

"My grandfather will not let Him revive." Pei Ju said seriously.

"My father said that your grandfather couldn't stop it. How could a temple keeper control the existence of a 'god'? Your grandfather could only suppress it temporarily. If we don't enter the temple and kill it, then we will have to hand it over to the temple before it gets out of control. Then, naturally, others will enter the temple and kill the evil spirit inside."

"The other abilities of the evil tiger are nothing special, but the divinity within it is extremely precious. Many people would be tempted by it. If your ancestors, including your grandfather and your father, had not taken root in this sea city and had invisible connections from top to bottom, this temple would have been taken away by someone long ago."

Bao Duxing doesn't look very old, but he speaks very maturely, like an adult.

If his father had died so early, then his growth would definitely not have been easy.

There is a saying that children from poor families have to grow up early, and he has this kind of smell about him.

"Is divinity so important?" Pei Ju asked. He knew that the fish monsters had wanted to obtain the divinity of the mountain king in his temple.

"You didn't know?" Bao Duxing said in surprise.

"I'm not sure." Pei Ju certainly knew that divinity must be a good thing, but his grandfather didn't seem to be particularly interested in it.

"Divinity can elevate our swordsmanship to another level, elevate a person's abilities to a new level, and elevate our entire spiritual consciousness."

Bao Duxing seemed a little angry that Pei Ju was guarding such a temple but was unaware of the most precious thing in the temple.
