I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 6: Environmental Atmosphere [Push the Pig's Leader Plus]

Pei Ju, who was sleeping in bed, thought a lot.

As a person who comes from a family with a professional heritage, he understands the world better than ordinary people. Technology is developing, but the mystery has never gone away.

In the words of the World Mystical Research Association, this world has different dimensions, and we humans occupy one dimension, while those "spirits" are in another dimension. However, we humans can learn the abilities of "spirits" through "clairvoyance", thereby evolving our own life level. After reaching a certain level, we can enter and exit other dimensions.

And those 'spirits' always invade our world in various ways.

For example, Xiao Qiu must have been possessed by a 'spirit'. He suspected that there was someone behind her because she became like this after having a boyfriend, so her boyfriend was suspicious.

So, there are always some strange things happening in this world. Just last year, an entire small town abroad suddenly disappeared.

As for various small supernatural events, they are emerging one after another, and Luoshahai City is a metropolis that ranks high in the world in terms of the number of supernatural phenomena.

On the one hand, countries are also developing some technologies targeting "spirits", and on the other hand, they are also exploring various professional inheritances and establishing institutions to assist in inheritance.

……

Daybreak.

Before the sun rose, Pei Ju had already come to the yard to practice swordsmanship.

Since I started learning sword, I have never stopped, rain or shine.

The midsummer morning still had a hint of coolness, and there was still fog in the sky.

Pei Ju didn't want his clothes to get soaked with sweat from practicing swordplay and then have to wash them, so he wore a pair of large shorts and was shirtless.

The scars are still there from last night, but maybe the medicine was effective, as they have now scabbed over.

He hung three iron balls of different sizes under the grape trellis, and he kept swinging his sword at the three balls.

Pull, carry, lift, block, hit, stab, point, collapse, stir, press, split, cut, and wash.

Every time it was stabbed or pointed, the iron ball would make a sound.

The sword technique he practiced was called the Thirteen Swords of the Wandering Dragon, and it was said to have been passed down by someone known as the Sword Immortal decades ago.

He walked around the yard practicing until the sun came out, and he was already covered in sweat.

During this process, Mr. Pei Si went out to buy fried dough sticks and buns.

At the end, Pei Ju turned around and saw a girl on the second floor of the house next door, with her hands on the railing looking at him. It seemed like she had been looking at him for a while.

He couldn't help but think of the girl he scolded last night.

When I was beaten, I was so angry and embarrassed that I couldn't speak well.

Thinking of this, he felt a little embarrassed and reached out to touch his short hair.

The other person stood at the junction of sunlight and shadow, with half of his body in the sunlight. His hands in the sunlight were white and glowing, while his face in the shadow was largely obscured by his long hair, making him look small. However, his eyes were full of scrutiny.

Maybe it was because it was daytime and Pei Ju didn't grimace like he did last night, so she was not afraid. When Pei Ju looked at her, she also looked at Pei Ju quietly, as if she was constructing his appearance in her mind.

Pei Ju didn't feel comfortable looking at it any longer, after all, he had just scolded someone last night. He went into the house, took a shower, and changed into new clothes.

A white vest and a pair of loose blue shorts. After thinking about it, he didn't wear slippers but white mesh shoes.

First he made a bowl of porridge, then ate some fried dough sticks and pickles. After eating two large bowls, he said, "Grandpa, I'm done eating. I'm ready to go to the Mirage Garden."

"Well, how are you going to go? Take the bus or something else?" asked Mr. Pei.

"Well! Let's go there by bike." Pei Ju said.

"It's very far." said Mr. Pei Si.

"It's okay, I can ride it." Pei Ju said.

Fourth Master Pei didn't say anything else. After a moment of silence, he said, "When you get there, get along well with your sister and don't be too aggressive when you speak." "Okay, Grandpa. I'll go first. Take your time eating." Pei Ju got up and left.

He went outside, rode his bicycle, and took with him a flat wooden stick that he always carried with him when he went out. It was about 1.2 meters long. He punched a hole at one end, passed a red cloth through it and tied a knot so that it could be hung on the bicycle.

I walked out of the courtyard, into the alley, and then when the sun was shining, I entered Qianmen Street, passed the breakfast shops on Qianmen Street, and rode into the traffic on the street.

The distance from Shentu Community in Xicheng District to Guanshen Garden in Guanshen Community in Dongcheng District is not short. It takes at least an hour to ride.

Fortunately, he is young and has learned swordsmanship since childhood, so he has strength and endurance.

He was still wondering who the person next door was while riding. He remembered that no one had lived in the house next door since he could remember, but someone would come here to clean it a few times every year. How come someone came to live here this time?
Then I thought, I had just had a fight last night and I hadn’t returned home yet, so how did my grandfather know about it?

We rode all the way and arrived at Guanchen Garden around ten o'clock.

It is generally recognized that Guan Shen Garden is a place that only rich people can afford to live in. It has strict access control and of course people cannot enter casually. After the guard made a phone call, his mother and half-sister came down to pick him up.

It has been a while since I last saw her. She still looks very young. When she saw Pei Ju, she immediately said, "Why are you riding your bike by yourself? Aren't you tired?"

"What's wrong with your face? And why are there so many scars on your arms?"

"You got beaten again? Grandpa beat you again?"

Pei Ju didn't really want to answer these obvious questions, so he said, "You've seen it all, haven't you? Why are you still asking?"

My sister was watching from the side, not saying a word, but her eyes were rolling around, and I don’t know what she was thinking.

Pei Ju entered his mother's house and was greeted by a refreshing fragrance. The house was tidy and spacious.

"There's an arcade game console over there. You can go play it for a bit. Then you can have dinner and sleep here tonight. You can go back tomorrow. Mom has something to tell you."

When he comes here, Pei Ju’s favorite thing to play is the Overlord game console.

Time passed quickly. The softness of the bed at night, unlike the hardwood bed in the training hall, made him unable to sleep for a while. He got up early the next day, practiced swordplay, played games, had lunch, and then went back.

When he returned, his mother's words were still ringing in his ears: "Go back and have a good talk with Grandpa. This is a rare opportunity."

opportunity!

What Pei Ju heard most this time was that they wanted to go abroad, saying they wanted to go to the Free Federal Republic, and they could take him with them.

They said everything there was good, and if he was willing to go, they could even ask someone to recommend him to the Moss Millennium School there.

Even Pei Ju had heard of this school. This school was dedicated to imparting secret forbidden knowledge. If he could study there, he would definitely be able to learn the most complete and profound secret forbidden knowledge in the world. This made him somewhat tempted.

Moreover, the whole social atmosphere now is to go abroad. If there is an opportunity to go abroad, people will try their best to go. He even heard that some girls who are obviously very beautiful and very proud of their hometown are willing to marry older men there in order to go abroad.

Is it really that good abroad?
I rode all the way back to Xicheng, Shentu Community, and entered Qingyi Lane. The gate was open. I parked the car and entered the house. I saw my grandfather leaning on the sofa in the dark, holding a peeled orange in his hand, which he had only eaten half of.

And he fell asleep.

He stood at the door, watching this scene, his heart filled with ripples.

He went into the house, took out a piece of clothing and put it on his grandfather.

"Oh, Xiaoju is back. How is living with your mother?" Mr. Pei Si was a light sleeper and had already woken up.

"Very good." Pei Ju said with a smile.

Compared to here, it is naturally bright and clean everywhere, with delicious food and fun things to do, but it is not as cozy and comfortable as here.

"Has your mother told you if you want to go abroad?" Mr. Pei asked with a smile.

For some reason, Pei Ju actually saw a glimmer of hope in his grandfather's usually firm eyes.

"No, what's the point of going out? I can't speak the language there, and I can't get used to the food there. Besides, I still have to take the exam to get a license for our sword hall!"
