Chapter 40 The Peerless Sword of Benevolence
Before dawn the next day, Chu Pingsheng and Mu Nianci ate something hastily, locked the door and hurried to Yixing.
Unlike last time, the black horse and bay horse ran at full speed, and it took only half a day to return to the inn where Yang Tiexin, Bao Xiruo and others lived.
As soon as the two led the horse into the backyard, they saw Han Xiaoying, Zhu Cong and Han Baoju standing at the door talking.
“Why did it take so long?”
With the foot power of the bay horse and the black gelding, if they had been faster, they would have returned yesterday. But now the two of them didn't return until the afternoon, which would inevitably arouse people's worries.
Zhu Cong looked at Mu Nianci, then at Chu Pingsheng, and said with a smile: "My husband and I want to go out together, so naturally we have to go a little slower. Qimei, you have a lot to worry about. "
"Second brother."
Han Xiaoying glared at him angrily, turned to look at Chu Pingsheng and said, "Taoist Ma and Taoist Wang have been waiting for you for a long time. They said they have something important to say. Shang, go quickly.”
“Okay, leave the horse to me.”
Han Baoju stepped forward, patted the black gelding's neck, and carefully inspected his little cutie.
Chu Pingsheng motioned to Mu Nianci to share the snacks brought back from Lin'an to everyone, then turned around and went up to the second floor of the inn, heading towards Ma Yu's room.
……
Dong-dong-dong.
"Enter."
Hearing Ma Yu's response, Chu Pingsheng opened the door and was stunned for a moment when he saw the people inside. Not only were Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu, and Wang Chuyi there, but there was also a thin female Taoist priest and a chubby girl with thick lips. Male Taoist priest.
Hey, the Quanzhen sect moved so fast, there were five of the Quanzhen sect’s seven sons at once.
"Shengsheng, are you back?" When Wang Chu saw him coming, he stood up to greet him.
Chu Pingsheng had some sour teeth.
The day before yesterday, I was still Mr. Chu. How come I went to Lin'an and was called this when I came back?
Showing courtesy for nothing is either adultery or theft.
There must be a pitfall here. You have to think twice about what you say and do later.
“I’ve met a few Taoist priests.” Chu Pingsheng said politely: “I was just downstairs listening to Han Qixia tell me that you guys have something to discuss with me. What’s the matter?”
“Discuss something. Don't worry, let me introduce you first." Wang Chuyi walked to the female Taoist priest: "This is our Qingjing Sanren, Sun Buer."
"Hello, Mr. Sun."
Chu Pingsheng's eyes lit up. This female Taoist priest was fair-skinned and beautiful, and her charm was still there. The old boy Ma Yu looked honest and steady, but he didn't expect that he was also a sultry man.
Sun Buer looked at him coldly and said proudly: "Are you the disciple that Senior Brother Wang accepted? I don't see anything extraordinary about you."
This girl As expected, we are just like the image in the TV series, with a bad face and tough words. Relying on being Wang Chongyang's favorite disciple and the tolerance of the six senior brothers, we look above the head and are arrogant.
Of course Chu Pingsheng would not coddle her and directly pushed back: "First of all, I am not your apprentice Wang, and secondly, I am not interested in letting you see my excellence. I am a student. I have gained the Quanzhen Sect’s internal strength, but I don’t owe the Quanzhen Sect anything. There is no need for you to put on a bad face.”
“You are so rude,” said Sun Buer, who was so angry that his eyes widened.
As one of the Seven Quanzhen Sons, wherever she goes, others are not respectful and courteous to her, but this boy is better. He is obviously a junior in the martial arts world and is not advanced in martial arts, but he has to be surrounded by his seniors. To her, This is of course very unpleasant.
"Junior sister, can you please stop saying a few words." It seemed that Ma Yu also knew her temper and quickly signaled Wang Chuyi to introduce Tan Chuduan.
"Pingsheng, come, this is my third senior brother, the eldest son Tan Chuduan."
Chu Pingsheng clasped his fists again: "Taoist Master Tan."
Tan Chuduan is not like Sun. Fuji was so aloof, stroking his beard and said: "I observe that Mr. Chu is gentle and elegant yet heroic. He is really a talented man."
Chu Pingsheng chuckled: "The Taoist Master is ridiculously complimentary."
Tan Chuduan's praise of him made Sun Buer's expression even more ugly.
Qiu Chuji is a straightforward person, and he can't bear all these red tapes. He waved his hand and said: "Junior brother, let him sit down quickly, let's talk about business."
Ma Yu echoed at the side: "What my junior brother said is true."
Wang Chu nodded: "Sit down, your life."
"Oh."
Chu Pingsheng sat down on the chair closest to the door. He looked up and saw that all five Quanzhen disciples were looking at him, a little nervous.
“Ahem.”
When Qiu Chuji saw that no one was speaking, he coughed and said, “The situation is like this...”
Dong, dong, dong…
Halfway through his words, he heard heavy and rapid footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door.
"Taoist Master Ma."
It is the voice of Han Baoju, the third of the Six Monsters of Jiangnan.
Ma Yu looked at the three junior brothers. He didn't know why they came here at this time, but judging from the tone of their words, they were quite anxious.
"It's Han Sanxia, please come in."
As soon as the voice fell, the door opened with a clang. Han Baoju strode into the room, looked around, and fixed his eyes on Chu Pingsheng.
"Where did the sword come from?"
"The sword?"
Han Baoju pointed behind him, and then everyone noticed that there was another person behind him. Han Xiaoying is the seventh among the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan.
In her hand was a sword.
From the scabbard, it looks unremarkable, just average.
锵.
As the long sword was unsheathed, a flash of black light entered his eyes. Although it was not as sharp as some famous swords, it had a purity and calmness as strong as a cloud peak.
“What a sword!”
Qiu Chuji couldn't help but praise.
Ma Yu and others also looked shocked. They are all experts in using swords, so they can naturally tell whether a sword is good or bad.
“Tell me, where did this sword come from.”
Han Baoju ignored Quanzhen Wuzi. He was impatient. He had taken the black stallion from Chu Pingsheng to feed it before, and unloaded it. When I was in the saddle, I found a sword stuck in the horse's belly. I didn't think much about it at the time. I threw it to the youngest and asked her to keep it for her younger brother. Unexpectedly, Han Xiaoying took the sword in her hand and even said it was wrong. She pulled the sword out and was immediately amazed by it. .
Chu Pingsheng did not hide anything and said bluntly: "The Prime Minister's Mansion of the Song Dynasty."
Song Dynasty... Prime Minister's Mansion?
A few people looked at each other and then looked at him together.
Chu Pingsheng said: "During those days at Wanyan Honglie's house, I overheard the conversation between him and Yang Kang. I knew that Shi Miyuan, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, had been bribed by the Jin people. Recently, I heard that Yang Kang went south. I doubt it. He came to Shi Miyuan to discuss finding Wu Mu's suicide note. Considering that Niujia Village was not far from Lin'an, he decided to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion at night to find out. The sword you are holding in your hand is the one that was stolen from Shi Miyuan last night. The room was smooth.”
“…”
“…”
Visiting the prime minister's house at night, this guy really dares to think and do it.
Han Xiaoying said: "Do you know what kind of sword this is?"
Chu Pingsheng shook his head: "Since it is Shi Miyuan's collection, it should not be an ordinary thing."
Han Xiaoying took a deep breath: "This is one of the ten famous swords in ancient times. It was made by Ou Yezi, a famous swordsmith in the Spring and Autumn Period."
Zhanlu Sword?
It turned out to be the famous Zhan Lu Sword!
It’s no wonder that Quanzhen Wu Zixin thought that as soon as this sword came out, everyone knew it was extraordinary. It turned out to be a magic weapon forged by Master Ou Yezi.
Han Xiaoying continued: "The play says that after the sword was released, it was obtained by the King of Yue and was later passed to Goujian. Because he lost the fight with the State of Wu, the sword was presented by Goujian as tribute to King Wu Fucha. However, the King of Wu was unruly and Zhan Lu Jian actually left on his own and flew to the side of King Chu Zhao, the Mingjun of the time. Therefore, the sword has always been regarded as the sword of benevolence. In the second year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, General Yue emerged and defeated the Jin people in many places. I heard the master say. , and his sword is the Zhanlu Sword in front of him."
No wonder Han Baoju and Han Xiaoying made such a fuss, as if someone had stepped on their tails. It turned out... Shi Miyuan did not lie to him, it was really Yue Fei. relics.
The five Quanzhen disciples looked horrified. The moment the sword was unsheathed, they knew the sword was extraordinary, but they did not expect it to be so extraordinary.
"Hmph!"
Qingjing Sanren snorted coldly.
As the youngest of the Seven Quanzhen Sons, she was deeply loved by Wang Chongyang. Before his death, he gave her the sword he was equipped with. This gave her a faint feeling in front of those who wielded the sword, including the six senior brothers. A sense of superiority, but at this moment, facing the Zhanlu Sword in Han Xiaoying's hand, neither her face nor her mood were very beautiful.
This kid actually dared to visit the prime minister's house at night, and even brought back a unique and famous sword.
Just now she was mocking Chu for not being outstanding in his life, but in the next moment Han Xiaoying did this. Those two people must have come here deliberately to embarrass her.
Wang Chuyi was different. Looking at Chu Pingsheng's expression, he looked like his own son. After all, it was he who taught Chu Pingsheng the Quanzhen Mind Technique. Although he did not have the name of master and disciple, he had the actual status of master and disciple.
“Back then, the divine sword was chosen by the benevolent king, and after several twists and turns, it was acquired by General Yue. Today it falls into the hands of Ing Sheng. Good Taoism is a matter for the world, and every drink and peck has its destiny.”
He just didn't say directly that this boy was a young hero favored by heaven.
Whoosh.
Han Xiaoying sheathed the sword and handed it over solemnly.
"You need to take good care of this sword."
She was born in Yue, and learned the Yue Nv Sword. Her master was a swordsman. Before she became a master, she often listened to her master telling stories about how the ancients forged swords. What? Prince Guang hid the fish-gut sword in the belly of a fish and assassinated King Liao of Wu. Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, took the Chixiao Sword and killed the White Snake and revolted. The generals Mo Xie and his wife made swords with their own bodies. The knowledge about famous swords is almost imprinted in my mind, so Only then could she recognize at a glance that this boy, who never changed his words and called her sister every day, casually inserted the sword into the horse's belly buckle, which was the Zhanlu Sword, symbolizing benevolence and justice.
"Okay, I understand."
Chu Pingsheng took the sword in his hand, glanced at it, and met the eyes of satisfaction and appreciation, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
I am a demon cultivator, a demon cultivator, a demon cultivator. I say important things three times.
I castrated Wang Chuyi, Ke Zhen'e, Han Baoju, Nan Xiren, Guo Jing - no, I shouldn't blame myself for this, it's just that the toxicity has not occurred, no matter how you look at it, I am a demon, so why did you arrange a sword of great righteousness for me?
The key is that this group of people still made a fuss. There is God’s will in the dark. You are the chosen one, the hope of the Song Dynasty. From now on, I will protect the people and support justice. The important task is yours. feel.
My mission is to be a demonic hero, not a real hero. If you do this, I will be under great pressure.
Wang Chuyi looked at Tan Chuduan and Sun Buer with a proud look on his face: "Senior brother, junior sister, do you still oppose my proposal now?"
Tan Chuduan shook his head: "Junior brother is indeed alone. ”
Sun Buer curled his lips in disdain and turned his head.
"Wait a minute." Chu Pingsheng suddenly felt like he was being plotted, thinking that if he hadn't been in Prince Zhao's Mansion, if this old man hadn't been so nosy, his plan would not have been disrupted.
"Daozhang Wang, could it be that you... want to make arrangements for me again?"
"Arrangements are out of the question." Wang Chuyi said, "I just want to ask you for a favor."
>
Chu Pingsheng glanced at Sun Buer: "I won't help."
Wang Chuyi hurriedly said: "Don't refuse in a hurry, there are benefits."
"There are benefits? Let's talk about it."
