I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 272: The sword is a weapon, and the sword is drawn to kill

On the long street, Lei Wujie stood there in a daze.

Xiao Se glanced at him, frowned and asked, "Lei Wujie, what are you thinking about?"

Lei Wujie looked back at him, touched the wound on his shoulder, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said softly: "I can't beat him."

Sikong Qianluo was still in a daze, unable to understand why Lei Wujie suddenly retracted the sword.

Could it be that the sword was too powerful and Lei Wujie thought I couldn't block it?

Thinking of this possibility, Sikong Qianluo became angry.

At this moment, Lei Wujie and Xiao Se turned around at the same time and ran away.

One is the successor of the world's best light Kung Fu, Stepping on Clouds and Riding the Wind, and the other has his meridians opened up by Monk Wuxin. When it comes to escape skills, they are as good as anyone and can leap dozens of steps in the blink of an eye.

"You two pieces of trash, where are you running to!" Sikong Qianluo was furious and chased after them with his spear in hand.

Lei Wujie sighed as he ran: "Brother Xiao, how did you offend Senior Sister Qianluo?"

"I provoke her?" Xiao Se rolled his eyes: "Who would provoke a woman like her for no reason?"

Sikong Qianluo, who was not far away, heard this and immediately cursed: "What kind of woman?"

Xiao Se jumped up and said loudly: "She is the kind of shameless woman who chases after men all day long."

"Xiao Se, you are looking for death. I will kill you today." Sikong Qianluo paused, raised his spear and threw it out with force.

Unfortunately, the spear didn't fly far before it landed on the ground.

The kick that came down from the sky was completely unreasonable and stopped the powerful gun.

"The Silver Moon Spear has revealed its true appearance, but it still can't stop people. It's really unfair."

Sikong Changfeng had a playful smile on his face. He raised his hand slightly, and the spear flew into his hand as if it was summoned.

Sikong Qianluo snorted in dissatisfaction and curled his lips and said, "Who said we can't keep them? That shot just now will definitely keep them."

"Stop it. You deliberately threw the shot in the wrong direction. You are lying in front of a gun master like me. My daughter, you are so adorable."

Tang Lian took over the conversation: "Not just today, but every day in the past eight or nine days, it was thrown crookedly."

Sikong Qianluo's pretty face turned slightly red. She jumped forward, snatched the Silver Moon Spear, and said hatefully, "Okay, okay, I won't throw it crookedly today. Just watch how I deal with him today."

Sikong Changfeng raised his eyebrows: "Him?"

"They!" Sikong Qianluo said angrily, raising his foot and kicking his father away.

On the other side, Lei Wujie and Xiao Se ran all the way and finally found that Sikong Qianluo was no longer behind them. They finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, blood was flowing from Lei Wujie's shoulder. Xiao Se took a look and said, "We must bandage it quickly."

Lei Wujie nodded and wanted to tear off a piece of clothes from his body, but found that his clothes had already been torn into pieces by the Silver Moon Spear, and he couldn't even tear off a complete piece of cloth.

He glanced at Xiao Se, who understood immediately and took a step back: "This is mulberry pattern brocade."

"Is it expensive?" Lei Wujie asked.

"No...that one doesn't suck blood." Xiao Se finally found an excuse.

The two had no choice but to walk into a nearby courtyard.

Chaoyang Street is like this, with many red-walled courtyards, where all kinds of people live. Some are peerless masters, and some don’t even know martial arts, but without exception they are not ordinary people.

The two pushed the door open and found a small courtyard filled with the smell of herbs. Dry herbs were placed everywhere. There was a small pavilion on the right side of the courtyard with steaming hot tea.

Xiao Se probed the teacup and said, "It's still hot. It looks like someone is there."

Lei Wujie nodded and said loudly, "I'm sorry to bother you. I beg you to come out and see me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in white came out of the house carrying herbs.

Lei Wujie and Xiao Se were stunned, because they didn't expect that the person who came out was a beauty with an unparalleled beauty, skin whiter than snow, and skin as white as if made of jade. She looked as graceful as a fairy in white clothes.

The whole person was quiet and elegant, and the smile on her face was so bright and radiant that Xiao Se couldn't help but murmur something.

"It is true... there is a beautiful woman in this world, living in seclusion in an empty valley."

Lei Wujie was not as elegant as Xiao Se. He just felt that the beautiful words describing women in the books seemed to be spreading out before his eyes in reality.

He is now sure that he has found love.

Xiao Se gently pushed the stunned Lei Wujie, who turned his head blankly: "What's wrong?"

"You're almost out of blood." Xiao Se said unhappily.

Lei Wujie turned his head slightly to look at his shoulder and felt like he was about to faint.

The woman in white couldn't help but burst out laughing, which made Lei Wujie feel as if he was in spring and felt even more dizzy.

The woman in white came over and without saying anything, she took out a small porcelain bottle and a roll of gauze. She applied medicine and bandaged Lei Wujie's wound skillfully and naturally, and soon bandaged the wound.

Lei Wujie looked down at her, almost suffocating, and he stammered, "Sorry... sorry for the trouble."

The woman in white smiled lightly and shook her head when she heard this.

"My name is Lei Wujie. May I ask your name, young lady?"

The woman in white was about to answer when she heard an angry shout from not far away: "Xiao Se, Lei Wujie, where have you been?"

"Oh no, they are chasing us, let's go!" Xiao Se stepped forward and grabbed Lei Wujie, ready to continue running away.

Unexpectedly, the woman in white also grabbed Lei Wujie, shook her head at him, then gently raised her hand and finally spoke.

The voice was soft and pleasant, as if it came from the clouds. It was just two simple words, but they were truly extraordinary.

"Xuanpin."

As she said these two words, a layer of translucent green smoke spread out above Lei Wujie and Xiao Se.

Lei Wujie looked at the green above his head, widened his eyes, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Se.

Xiao Se frowned and said uncertainly: "It should be a Taoist technique."

Xuanpin is a Taoist term, meaning the origin of all things, which is profound and unfathomable.

If martial arts is the right way, then Taoism is the strange way. The magical power of Rakshasa Hall that Wuxin practices is between martial arts and the strange way, and is already regarded as evil and weird.

However, this aura doesn't seem to be like Taoism, but more like the aura of mystical arts.

There are very few people in the world who have mastered the true secret arts. It is said that only a few celestial masters in the Imperial Observatory in Tianqi City and a small number of secret art masters scattered among the people have extremely high attainments in this area.

There are two reasons.

One reason is that practicing the secret technique requires extraordinary mental strength, and ordinary people do not have such talent.

The second reason is that practicing secret arts goes against the laws of nature, and practitioners often become haggard and emaciated, and ultimately do not die a good death.

But the woman in white in front of him did not look thin at all, so Xiao Se's first reaction was that the woman in white in front of him was practicing Taoism.

When the green smoke like a curtain completely enveloped the two of them, Sikong Qianluo also stepped into the yard, but she did not notice the strange green smoke in front of her at all.

Sikong Qianluo glanced around the courtyard, smiled at the woman in white, and saluted, "Hello, Senior Sister Xu."

The woman in white nodded slightly, returned the greeting with a smile, "Junior Sister Qianluo is polite."

Sikong Qianluo sniffed and wandered around the yard suspiciously, the silver moon spear turning restlessly in her hand. Finally, she gave up, frowned unwillingly, and said to the woman in white: "Senior Sister Xu, if you see those two brats running to you, you must tell me." The woman in white, who was flipping through the herbs on the medicine shelf, smiled slightly when she heard it: "What kind of two brats are they?"

Sikong Qianluo said with hatred: "One is wearing red, the other is wearing green. The one in red is in rags and holding a sword. The other one has a stick on his waist. They don't look like good people."

Xiao Se rolled his eyes subconsciously, while Lei Wujie put his hand on the hilt of the sword, trying again to see if he could pull out the Tingyu Sword.

The woman in white thought for a moment and shook her head: "I have never seen two people like this. If I see them, I will definitely tell Junior Sister Qianluo."

"Okay, then I'll go find those two brats." Sikong Qianluo finally gave up and leaped out of the red-walled courtyard.

Seeing this, Xiao Se and Lei Wujie were about to walk out of the green smoke, but they found that the green smoke seemed to have entangled them and they couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard they tried. They couldn't help feeling a little frightened.

At this moment, Sikong Qianluo came back, pushed the door open and looked around the courtyard, but in her eyes, she still only saw the woman in white who gave her a quiet and elegant feeling.

"Junior Sister Qianluo, is there anything else?"

Sikong Qianluo nodded: "Yeah, I almost forgot, today is Lantern Festival, Senior Sister, you are alone, my father asked me to invite you to dinner, he prepared a big table of delicious food today."

The woman in white thanked him, shook her head and smiled, "Your Majesty sent someone to tell me yesterday to go to Chu's house."

"Okay, Senior Sister Xu, you're busy!" Sikong Qianluo smiled, turned around, closed the door and left.

Seeing this, the woman in white gently waved her hand, and then dispersed the green smoke. She slowly said: "My Xuanpin Transformation Realm is only in the initial stage, and it cannot cover up all your auras.

Although Junior Sister Qianluo is young, she has already received the true teachings from Uncle Sikong. She had already sensed some of it just now, so she left and returned.

Fortunately, she didn't use the Forbidden Spirit Eye that Uncle Chu gave her, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to hide you."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Lei Wujie and said softly, "Wait a moment."

Lei Wujie nodded blankly and watched the woman in white enter the house.

Not long after, a woman in white came out holding a red dress.

"This is my eldest brother's clothes. He doesn't like red, so he has never worn it. You can change into it."

Xiao Se was sharp-eyed and immediately replied, "It's Luo Yunjin from Chu. Just this piece of clothing is worth at least three thousand taels of silver."

After these words came out, the woman in white just smiled faintly, Lei Wujie was stunned for a moment, and quickly declined: "This... is too expensive."

“If you don’t wear it, it has no value.”

"Then...thank you very much, young lady."

The woman in white shook her head and smiled, then went about her business.

Lei Wujie changed his clothes and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you, young lady. I am Lei Wujie. May I ask your name, young lady?"

"My last name is Xu." The woman in white smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. No need to thank me. Go and do your work."

Lei Wujie opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he was stopped by Xiao Se.

"Let's go." Xiao Se pulled Lei Wujie and said to the woman in white, "Miss Xu, thank you very much."

"Wait a minute..." Lei Wujie wanted to resist, but was pulled out of the yard by Xiao Se.

Lei Wujie turned around hurriedly, but found that the woman in white was just busy with her own affairs, her face still calm and peaceful, which made him distracted.

Leaving the small courtyard, he passed through several small courtyards.

Lei Wujie came back to his senses, shook off Xiao Se's hand, and said angrily: "Why did you pull me away?"

"Do you want to ask Miss Xu's name first, then ask her age, and finally ask whether she wants to get married?" Xiao Se said with a playful smile.

Lei Wujie was shocked: "How did you know?"

"Your thoughts are written all over your face, and I'm not blind." Xiao Se said unhappily, "It's just that Miss Xu is busy and obviously has no intention of talking to you. Are we still staying there to annoy you?

Besides, if you want to see her again, it's not difficult. Didn't she say that she would go to my uncle's house for dinner later? And if you want to know about her situation, just ask her casually and you will know. She calls that woman Sikong Qianluo her "Junior Sister". I think she is my uncle's apprentice."

"Oh." Lei Wujie scratched his head and smiled.

"What a hot guy, let's go back and ask." Xiao Se was speechless, then smiled and said, "I don't know if my uncle has come back yet."

"came back."

A familiar voice full of sunshine sounded, and the two stopped immediately, only to see a person walking towards them.

Lei Wujie stepped forward and greeted with a smile, "Fourth Brother Chu."

Xiao Se also stepped forward and called out to his fourth cousin: "Where are you going?"

"Today is the Lantern Festival. Let's go buy some fireworks and firecrackers. The two little guys are clamoring to set off firecrackers." Chu Wei smiled dotingly and looked at Lei Wujie: "I heard that you were beaten by Junior Sister Qianluo?"

Lei Wujie hummed: "If I had the Killing Sword in my hand, I should be able to fight to a draw."

Chu Wei was stunned: "Why do you have to use the Killing Sword? The sword in your hand is not bad either."

Lei Wujie spun the sword in his hand and sighed, "I can't pull out this Tingyu Sword."

"Can't pull it out?"

"Well, Master said that this is the sword forged in the Sword Spirit Tomb. It is the sword that recognizes its master. If you don't have the will to risk your life and death when drawing the sword, you can't draw it out." Lei Wujie looked at Tingyu in his hand. The long sword that had screamed loudly when facing the Silver Moon Spear was now extremely quiet.

"The sword forging at the Li family's Jianxin Tomb in Pingjiang Road is indeed different from that elsewhere. It is said that the last step in their sword forging is to cut their palms and feed the swords with blood. Therefore, the swords finally forged are said to be possessed by spirits. I heard that two ancient swords, the Soul-Transforming and Soul-Destroying, even used people to feed the swords." Xiao Se said slowly.

Chu Wei nodded and smiled: "Can you show it to me?"

"What's wrong with that?" Lei Wujie handed over the Tingyu Sword with a smile.

Chu Wei took the sword and was slightly stunned. He smiled and said, "It's interesting that it can temper the sword heart."

"To temper the sword's heart?" Lei Wujie asked blankly.

Just as he was stunned, he heard a clang and the Tingyu Sword revealed the sword hidden in the scabbard.

The sword body, as cool as snow, flashes with a light that seems somewhat unreal under the sunlight.

"As expected of a sword produced by Jianxin Tomb, the quality is good." Chu Wei flicked the blade of Tingyu Sword, making a slight sound. He looked at Lei Wujie and said, "The sword heart is a bit illusory. To put it simply, that's why you drew the sword."

Lei Wujie was stunned: "Master also asked me why I drew the sword."

"Yes, because only when you know why you draw the sword can you truly control your sword. When you know why you draw the sword, you will be able to draw this Listening to the Rain Sword."

Chu Wei said this and returned the Tingyu Sword to Lei Wujie.

Lei Wujie nodded, but before he could say anything, Xiao Se asked, "Fourth cousin, why did you draw your sword again?"

"I don't practice swordsmanship."

Xiao Se was completely stunned. He never expected Chu Wei to give this answer.

Lei Wujie asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Then why were you able to draw out the Tingyu Sword?"

"Although I don't practice swordplay, I have seen many people practice swordplay. I have always felt that what my father said is very true: a sword is also a deadly weapon."

Chu Wei said seriously: "People draw their swords for various reasons, some for fame, some for protection, some for revenge, etc.

But no matter what the reason is, killing is inevitable, so in my opinion, drawing the sword is only for killing.

The sword is unsheathed, a matter of life and death.

This is the essence of Jianghu.”
