Eternal Sword

Chapter 7 Living together
"what?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the yard.

Chen Tang was shocked.

I don’t know what happened outside just now, but Mr. Chai from the Evil Wolf Gang suddenly rushed in. From what he said, there should be another woman outside.

Don't let her see it.

Chen Tang was about to hide when he glanced at the gate of the yard. His face changed and his body froze in place.

There were two people standing at the gate of the yard, looking at him quietly.

The murder scene just now was probably seen clearly by the two of them.

Why are you two running out here on this snowy day instead of staying at home?
Chen Tang really wanted to scold them both.

One of them was a short and fat old man with gray hair, leaning on a bamboo stick that was much taller than him.

The old man had shifty eyes, an unattractive appearance, and a bloated body, like a round human-shaped meat ball.

The other person was a tall young woman, holding a short sword in her hand, with straight and slender legs. Even though she was wearing a coarse cotton coat, her round and plump figure could not be concealed.

Looking at the woman's appearance again, Chen Tang, who had lived two lifetimes and seen thousands of films, couldn't help but feel amazed.

The woman's black hair was like a waterfall, her skin was whiter than snow, her nose was straight and pointed, her lips were translucent, and her eyes were clear and moving, just like a pool of spring water.

Chen Tang took a deep breath.

Hold on!

We can't be like those third-rate guys in the Evil Wolf Gang.

Chen Tang subconsciously avoided his gaze and stared at the fat old man with a rat-like face next to him for a while before he calmed down.

The gate of the yard had been knocked open. It was not until this moment that Chen Tang noticed that there were five corpses lying next to the fat old man and the woman, wearing the uniforms of the Evil Wolf Gang.

Every one of them died with his eyes wide open, with a sword in his heart!
Chen Tang calmed down instantly.

Master!

He finally understood what that splashing sound he had just heard in the yard meant.

Five members of the Evil Wolf Gang were killed by a single sword in the blink of an eye. They didn't even cry for help before they lay dead on the spot!

Mr. Chai was being chased by this woman, so he broke into the house in a panic and ran into this place, running headfirst into him.

The woman shook her wrist, the tip of the sword trembled slightly, and the blood on it fell smoothly onto the snow, while the sword was not stained with blood.

Good weapon.

Good means.

Chen Tang estimated that even if he practiced for another year, he might not be able to reach this level.

suddenly!

The short and fat old man like a ball swayed, and Chen Tang saw a flash before his eyes, and the old man actually came in front of him!

The distance between the two of them was at least three to five meters.

The fat old man suddenly arrived!

That bloated body has no effect on his body speed at all!

This person wants to silence people?
Chen Tang's heart trembled.

At the critical moment, the space between his eyebrows seemed to crack again, and that strange feeling came back again!

This time, he saw clearly.

The fat old man didn't seem to have any intention of killing, he just reached out and grabbed his wrist.

Chen Tang wanted to avoid it.

But it felt like he couldn't hide no matter how hard he tried, and the fat old man showed no signs of slowing down.

All the meditation seemed to have no effect in front of this old man.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Tang felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows!
"Uh!"

Chen Tang groaned, feeling dizzy and his consciousness was somewhat scattered, as if a sword was stirring in his brain, causing him excruciating pain.

The fat old man was slightly startled.

The original movement also paused.

He hadn't met Chen Tang yet, and the latter suddenly became like this.

What does this young man mean? Is he trying to blackmail people?
The fat old man hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed Chen Tang's wrist.

A warm breath appeared in Chen Tang's body, wandering around, and finally came to the center of his eyebrows, hovering for a moment before disappearing.

Chen Tang felt that the pain between his eyebrows seemed to have eased a lot, and his consciousness gradually returned.

What happened just now?

What are the aftereffects of meditation?

Chen Tang looked confused and uncertain.

If he was fighting with an enemy and suddenly something like this happened, wouldn't he be chopped down by the enemy's sword?

At some point, the fat old man had retreated and stood next to the woman.

Chen Tang said in a deep voice: "We met by chance and have no grudges against each other. Let's pretend we have never met before. The road is wide open and we can go our separate ways. How about that?"

"That won't work."

The woman looked at Chen Tang not far away and suddenly said, "You killed someone. I'm going to sue the authorities."

The woman's voice was soft and pleasant to the ear, and her tone sounded as if she was not going to sue the officials but to sue her teacher.

Chen Tang calmed himself, took a deep breath, and said, "You killed someone too."

"Ah."

The woman nodded and said, "But I'm not afraid of you suing me."

Chen Tang sneered.

Why are you so awesome?
Just because he looks good?

The woman seemed to see the disdain in Chen Tang's eyes, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to try?"

"Don't try."

Chen Tang waved his hand.

If he goes to complain to the authorities, he will get himself involved.

"what do you want?"

Chen Tang didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

If this woman really wanted to sue the authorities, there was no need to speak out. She probably had other motives.

The woman's eyes were dark, but they turned slightly, bright and moving, and she said, "I am going to be very successful, and I am in need of help."

"Well... you look pretty and you're pretty good-looking. Be my follower from now on and listen to me. I'll let you go and not report you to the authorities."

You have a nice idea.

Are you still going to be successful and rise to the top, and become an imperial concubine? And you still tease me.

Chen Tang sneered in his heart.

"Qing Mu, stop messing around."

The fat old man coughed lightly and said, "Little brother, the snow and wind are too strong tonight, and we, the master and disciple, have nowhere to rest."

What do you mean?
Come live with me?

I'm not some random person.

Seeing Chen Tang's hesitation, the woman called Qingmu blinked and asked, "Young man, how do I get to the county government office here?"

Come again?

Chen Tang said with a gloomy face, "I have a house here, with a thatched roof and a wooden door, it's quite simple, I'm afraid you two would dislike it."

Let’s stabilize these two people first.

The fat old man said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, we are just people of the world, we don't care about trivial matters."

"follow me."

Chen Tang picked up the knife and turned away.

He just wanted to leave quickly, but staying at the crime scene and chatting endlessly was like being kicked in the head by a donkey.

Not long after, Chen Tang brought the two of them back home.

I didn't see a single ghost on the road, it was quite smooth.

The three of them went into the house and shook off the snow on their bodies.

Chen Tang went to the yard to get some dry firewood, went into the house to light the stove, boiled some water, and the house gradually became warmer.

Then he took off the bloodstained clothes, threw them into the stove and burned them.

"I'm a little tired, little brother, do you have a room available?"

The fat old man asked.

"Just one."

Chen Tang pointed to the bedroom next to him and said, "There is a heated kang inside. If we squeeze in a little, three people can sleep there."

The fat old man picked his ears.

This kid's calculations were so loud that they shook out his earwax...

"Ok?"

Qing Mu's eyebrows gradually raised, and he turned his head to stare at Chen Tang, and asked slowly: "What do you mean, you want to sleep with us?"

"this is my house."

Chen Tang spoke confidently, and added: "And your master just said that people in the Jianghu don't mind trivial matters."

Qing Mu said: "But there is another saying, men and women should not touch each other."

"clear."

Chen Tang said, "Your master and I will sleep on the kang, and you can sleep on the floor. It's just right to add some firewood to the stove when it gets cold at night."

Qing Mu: “…”

The fat old man's mouth twitched.

You kid is really a fucking genius.

Qing Mu resisted the urge to stab him with a sword, bit her lips lightly, and said, "Master and I are in the bedroom, you sleep here!"

Chen Tang shrugged.

He didn't care.

He didn't want to share a kang with two people.

It's just that my hometown was taken away by someone for no apparent reason, and I was angry, but I wanted to get an advantage.

Chen Tang took his bedding, leaned against the stove, slept in his clothes, and fell into a sound sleep.

With the methods used by the fat old man and his partner, if they wanted to take his life, it would be useless even if he was on guard.

Instead of worrying, it is better to relax and wait until you wake up.

Of course, a lot happened that night.

Chen Tang was indeed tired.

Especially after a sharp pain came from his forehead, he felt weak and dizzy. He didn't want to move and just wanted to fall asleep.

……

……

"You fell asleep so quickly. You're really brave."

"The person who can sleep even when the sky is falling is not an ordinary person."

"What's the point of being able to sleep? Master, what's so special about this person that you should stay overnight?"

"When this boy was fighting with that man just now, I realized something was wrong, so I took action to investigate. Sure enough, this boy's Niwan Palace has been opened, which is equivalent to opening the third eye!"

Two voices suddenly sounded in the darkness, barely audible.

"What is Niwan Palace?"

Qing Mu blinked, as if he had touched upon a blind spot in his knowledge.

The fat old man said: "Niwan is the center of the body and the meeting place of hundreds of gods. It is in harmony with the great mystery and can give birth to divine consciousness. It has the function of nurturing human souls! When Niwan Palace is opened, you can see gods. Entering the divine state and sitting in meditation is the sign of a first-class master!"

Qing Mu was still confused after hearing the previous part, until the words "first-class master" were spoken, and then his expression became stern.

But she was still skeptical and asked, "He looks only about sixteen or seventeen years old. How could he be a master? That's impossible, right?"

"Of course not possible."

The fat old man said: "Although this boy is quite powerful and his attacks are ruthless, he is still one step away from reaching the highest level."

"What's more, in order to open the Niwan Palace, the warrior needs to stimulate the innate true qi and impact the Niwan acupoint from the inside out. This boy's Niwan Palace was forcibly opened by external force."

Qing Mu's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something.

Before she could speak, the fat old man had guessed her thoughts and said, "Don't have any bad thoughts. The Niwan Palace is deep between the eyebrows, in the middle of the brain. It is a vital part of the human body and cannot be touched easily."

"Even innate masters have to be very careful when opening the Niwan Palace. The lighter ones may go crazy, and the heavier ones may die suddenly. If they are hit by external force, they will definitely die."

Qing Mu gradually understood and said, "This man's Niwan Palace was knocked open by external force. He should have died, but now he is still alive and well?"

The fat old man nodded and said, "There is only one person like him in the world."

After hearing this, Qing Mu lost interest, yawned, and said, "That's meaningless. We might as well continue on our journey and return to Beijing as soon as possible."

The fat old man said, "According to the news from the capital, the turmoil has subsided and the situation has been settled. It doesn't matter if you go back later. If the person in the capital misses you, he should send someone to pick you up. As your master is old and weak, I will not accompany you to the capital."

"When I meet such a strange man, I will observe him for a few more days to see what he has to offer."
