Chapter 0043 World Swordsman
Li Zhen turned around and saw a thin man in a gray robe standing at the door more than ten steps away, with a long scar on his face. It was Lan Zhenyu he met in Gaochang.
The enemy was narrow and they actually met here. Li Zhen knew something was wrong and immediately shouted: "Dazhuang, the old fat man takes them away, I'll break the back!"
Seeing Jiuzhi hesitate, he shouted sternly: "Jiuzhi, do you want to drag me to death?"
Jiu Zhi stomped his feet and pulled several girls to run towards the back door. Li Zhen brushed the sword flower and stared at Lan Zhenyu coldly.
Lan Zhenyu didn't care about these Hu girls running away. These Hu girls had nothing to do with him. He was responsible for the relics, but Gaochang's trip failed, and the relics were taken away by Wang Yuanbao.
He chased him all the way to Jiuquan, but he was unable to catch up with Wang Yuanbao and his party, so he had to rest for two days in Taiyi Palace and consider how to explain to his master. Unexpectedly, his enemies were narrow and he met Li Zhen again.
Although the relics were no longer on Li Zhen, it was Li Zhen who made him fail in Gaochang, which made him unable to explain to his master that he would not forget this hatred.
Lan Zhenyu was the only fearing Li Zhen's bow and arrow, but the distance was too close at this time and it was inconvenient to use the bow and arrow. He was not worried, so he took the sword and walked up slowly.
"Your riding and shooting is good, but your swordsmanship is not good. You are not my opponent. If you are willing to follow me, maybe I will spare your life, otherwise you will die here tonight."
"Warriors, how can they talk so much nonsense!"
"Well said, look at the sword!"
Lan Zhenyu's sword light was thunderous, and a sword stabbed out sharply, with the sound of breaking through the air, and it took Li Zhen's throat. Li Zhen shouted loudly and waved his sword to greet him. The two of them went to the sword and fought fiercely, but after only five or six rounds, Li Zhen was in danger.
Lan Zhenyu's sword technique is too sharp, the sword is heavy and powerful, and he attacks dozens of swords in a row, forcing Li Zhen to be in a hurry.
Lan Zhenyu sneered, "Boy, I can rank in the top ten in Luoyang, you are far from here."
He was about to kill, but at this moment, a sharp roar came from the front yard, and then screams were everywhere, which made Lan Zhenyu slightly stunned. The search team was full of swordsmen with excellent martial arts skills, so how could it be heard seven or eight screams in an instant?
But the screams did not stop, almost all the way, Lan Zhenyu was really unable to hold back. He made a flaw, jumped out of the sword circle, and looked back.
Li Zhen was also surprised, as if an extremely powerful guy had come.
At this time, five or six horse bandits stumbled into the gate, and they all died of horror, "Brother Lan, help me..."
Before he finished speaking, a cold light shot in, the head flew up, and then a white shadow flew into it. The sword swirled and returned to his hand. The long sword slashed out in a series of times, which was extremely fast. With a series of screams, five more people were killed. In the blink of an eye, all six people who escaped in were corpses everywhere.
Lan Zhenyu was so scared that her heart was about to break. This was simply a magical sword technique. He took a few steps back. The man in white stared at him with a cold look and asked, "Where is my sister?"
Li Zhen's heart moved. Could this be Brother Pei who was mentioned by the three little ladies? He said without hesitation: "I have saved your sister, but this person wants to kill me to silence me."
"Okay!" The man in white stabbed out with a sharp sword, and the ghosts and gods were shocked. The sword reached Lan Zhenyu's neck in the blink of an eye.
Lan Zhenyu was so shocked that she scattered. She shouted, rolled out, and the sleeve arrow in her hand shot out immediately. Li Zhen saw it clearly and shouted: "Beware!"
The man in white sneered, turned his sword and slashed the crossbow arrow, but this time gave Lan Zhenyu a chance to escape. He shot out an arrow, but kept jumping over the wall and running towards the mountain gate ahead.
The man in white did not chase Lan Zhenyu, turned around and stared at Li Zhen. His cold gaze made Li Zhen's heart tremble, "Where is my sister?"
Li Zhen took a deep breath, bowed and said, "Li Zhen in Dunhuang, come to save people. Is your sister one of the three Han girls?"
Just then, someone behind him shouted: "Brother!"
Li Zhen turned around and saw the little girl in green skirt running over and throwing her head into the man in white. The man in white hugged her with heartache and said, "Brother is not good, Brother is late, so Qing'er is wronged."
The little girl in the green skirt pointed at Li Zhen and said, "It was him who saved me, otherwise Qing'er would be bullied by the evil people."
The man in white glanced at Li Zhen and felt very grateful. He stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "Please accept my benefactor!"
Li Zhen quickly helped him up, "It's just a coincidence, Brother Pei doesn't have to be polite."
"Do you know my surname is Pei?" The man in white looked at him in surprise.
Only then did Li Zhen see clearly the appearance of the man in white. He was only over 20 years old and had a medium figure. He wore a green head, a long face and a high nose, and a sword-like eyebrows. He looked handsome. He wore a fine linen white robe, a leather belt on his waist, and a sharp sword in his hand.
The little girl in the green skirt smiled and said, "It should be us who told him that Azhen said that if Brother Pei is here, she will definitely kill them."
The man in white felt relieved and smiled and said, "It's a pity that I didn't kill him completely, and one more ran away."
Li Zhen was shocked. Did more than 30 horse bandits be killed by this person? In just a short period of time, what kind of sword technique is this?
He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Where is Brother Pei from?"
The girl in the green skirt was very lively and rushed to introduce: "We are from Hedong, my brother's surname is Pei Min, and no one's sword skills can compare to my brother."
Li Zhen's head was a little dizzy. He knew that there were three great masters in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xu's book, Li Bai's poems, and Pei Min's sword. Is Pei Min, who is known as the sword saint, the person who is this?
But looking at his sword skills just now, it was simply shocking the world and wept ghosts and gods. Li Zhen began to believe that this person should be Pei Min, a sword saint of the Tang Dynasty.
He quickly bowed and said, "Little brother Li Zhen, see the eldest brother."
"My brother is indeed a cheerful person, I like it!"
Pei Min traveled all over the world, aroused his grudges, and never liked to owe others favors. Li Zhen saved his sister. This kindness caused obstacles in his heart, so he would rather recognize Li Zhen as his younger brother, so he felt a little more comfortable.
At this time, Jiu Zhi and the other two rushed over with a group of women. Pei Min saw the other two junior sisters, and they saw that the others were all Sogdian Hu girls, and Kang Dazhuang was also Sogdians. He understood in his heart that Li Zhen and the others were here to save the Sogdian women.
"Let's clean up first, and we'll find a place to rest for a while."
"I'll help Brother Pei!"
The two of them moved quickly and cleaned up more than thirty bodies. They washed their hands and came to the Sanqing Hall. The Hu girls were all resting in the side hall, and Pei Min met Jiu Zhi and others in the hall. Pei Min was a very cheerful person and fell in love with everyone. They started chatting with everyone.
Li Zhen asked, "Where is Brother Pei going?"
Pei Min sighed and said, "I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes. I am the leader of a 100-year-old opera troupe. I took more than a dozen junior brothers and sisters to go to Dunhuang, Western Regions and other places. Because of something, I delayed my time in Liangzhou and asked them to leave first.
Unexpectedly, they were attacked by bandits, six junior brothers were killed, and the rest fled back to Liangzhou. I heard that my sister was kidnapped, which really scared me. I chased me all the way, thanks to my brother's rescue."
Li Zhen is a little strange. The status of a hundred opera artist is very low. Pei Min is just an artist, but he has such high swordsmanship.
However, Li Zhen knew that he was a proud and arrogant person at heart, so he hurriedly said, "I just happened to help Ling Mei. I don't have any kindness to you. Brother Pei must not take it to heart."
Pei Min smiled bitterly, but he didn't want to take it to heart, but he could just laugh it off after saving his sister's innocence.
At this time, Jiuzhi said with envy: "Brother Pei killed more than 30 horse bandits in a row, which is incredible. Can we open our eyes?"
Pei Min laughed, "If you want to see me, I should obey you. This is how I will do it! I will practice a sword show for you, please follow me!"
He got up and walked out of the hall. The four of them hurriedly followed him out. Pei Min stood in the square, holding a sword in his hand. He shouted, "You can see clearly!"
He drew out his sword and threw it into the sky with all his might. The sword was like a training exercise, and it flew into the sky a hundred feet, turning into a small highlight, which made the four of them exclaim. Then the sword shot vertically, and the light was like lightning, stabbing straight towards Pei Min.
Pei Min held the scabbard in his hand, but it didn't move at all. Amid the screams of the four people, the sword light suddenly disappeared, and the long sword was accurately inserted into the scabbard, and Pei Min was still as stable as Mount Tai.
The four of them were amazed. This was simply a magical art. It was not the sword technique. Only then did Li Zhen realize that what kind of skillful sword technique would be needed to become a sword saint in history?
Pei Min walked up and smiled, "When I performed sword scenes for others, I always said that this is a technique of a hundred plays. In fact, this is swordsman. When I met a stranger at the age of five, I was able to teach swordsmanship. I learned swordsmanship at the age of eighteen, and took hundreds of plays as my career and traveled all over the world. But I had never been to Dunhuang and the Western Regions, so I wanted to go and have a look."
Li Zhen nodded, "We came from Dunhuang and went to Chang'an. Tomorrow we sent Hu Niang back to the county town, we will set off. I hope we will have a chance to see Brother Pei again in the future."
Pei Min thought about it and laughed: "I don't have to hurry to go to Dunhuang. It's better for us to walk along the way. I will give you some advice on the sword skills of my virtuous brothers to repay them for saving my younger sister."
Pei Min had no spare money, and the one who could take advantage of the swordsmanship was his swordsmanship. How could he not repay Li Zhen's favor for saving his sister? Since Li Zhen and the others are also martial arts practitioners, I will teach them a few swordsmanship and repay this favor.
Li Zhen was overjoyed. How lucky it would be to get Pei Min to teach the sword. How could he let this opportunity go? He gave a deep gift, "Thank you brother Pei for giving the sword!"
