sword sentient beings

Chapter 67 Who is the Youngest?
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Pei Shoujing's face.

For a moment, people's hearts are floating, and each has his own thoughts.

Seeing that the situation was about to change, Pei Lifeng couldn't help but glanced at Patriarch Pei, who nodded in a subtle way.

Pei Lifeng said: "It's not that we concealed it on purpose, this happened suddenly, even we were not prepared. It's not that we want to meet, but that swordsman summoned us suddenly..."

Pang Ke shouted: "Is it really the swordsman who wants to meet?! Where? When?"

Everyone panicked, and even Pei Lifeng's in-laws, Wang's family, were at a loss, saying: "My lord Yuezhang, since the swordsman is about to descend, why didn't you notify me in advance? What should we do? We didn't bring any presents, so why don't we go empty-handed?" Goodbye? Isn't this impolite us?"

Tang Zhao noticed that the black widow's hands stopped slightly, her eyes flickered, and she thought to herself: Why, even she doesn't know?Is this an accident?
Pei Lifeng was a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, there is no need to prepare. In fact, Your Excellency the Swordsman will arrive tomorrow morning. Our meeting ends before dawn..."

Pang Ke said: "Okay? You don't allow us to see each other for a few hours? You are too domineering, and you really treat Your Excellency the Swordsman as your own? Tell me, is it true that the Master Swordsman bestows benefits for you to eat?" gone?"

Patriarch Pei glared at his son, blamed him for not being able to speak, and said slowly: "Everyone, have you ever thought that Master Swordsman wants to see you?"

Everyone was quiet for a while, and Pang Ke said first: "Since Lord Swordsman took the initiative to ask you for help, he naturally needs it. We have a lot of people and strength, and if we offer gifts generously and sincerely, will he still dislike them?"

Old Ancestor Pei sighed: "Who said he came to find us on his own initiative? He has been staying in Taohualou all the time. It was my little nephew who repeatedly invited him to be a guest at the house. He came here. He was careless when he came. We didn't even look at the precious presents until we saw my granddaughter." He pointed to Pei Shoujing.

"It was my granddaughter who caught his eye and planned to take it back for a future. Using this as an opportunity, we talked about the devil's lair. Although the old man wanted to enter the devil's lair, he planned to go alone. We begged her Take us. Now he only loves to see my granddaughter. We are the ones who make the plans and the people are summoned. He rarely asks. He only has promising children in his eyes, and the number of times everyone sees him does not add up. I have many granddaughters."

This is fairly self-consistent, and everyone believes it.

Because this kind of thing is possible, even their most hoped to happen.

For so many years, although there are not many seedlings of inspiration and talent, these wealthy gentry families with a large population can at least come up with one or two.

There are no congenital ones, but those that can be cultivated later in life, and there are still old ones.There are no descendants of the direct branch, but also the common branch.There is no particularly strong one, and the medium one is not difficult.But how these tribesmen can fulfill their talents is another unattainable moat.

It's not difficult to be an epee swordsman, who doesn't have a collection of magic weapons?What is difficult is the various other resources, even the opportunity to be a swordsman.You have the qualifications of a swordsman, and you have to find the right sword.With the same talent, if you meet the right sword, you will be a powerful swordsman.The most ideal situation is that there are fewer people and more swords. Everyone has multiple opportunities to try one by one.

But that kind of power does not exist in the world. Big powers such as district inspectors and legions from various places have many swords, but they have more people, and how many people compete for a chance.Moreover, the power has its own internal system, and the governor of Yunzhou intends to cultivate cronies who are from civilian backgrounds. They have no advantages but disadvantages when sending people in from wealthy gentry families.

In particular, the forces of the imperial court are all responsible. When you join, you will go to the battlefield. Life and death are life and death. The genius of the gentry family is the treasure of the family. Waiting for the right time.

As for the big sects on the surface, each has its own sphere of influence, and only accepts disciples within the sphere, there is no such thing in Yunzhou.Occasionally, there are sects that recruit disciples from all over the country, and they are all chosen one in a million, and none of their own children can be selected.

The rest of the small forces have fewer chances, they don't have many swords in their hands, they are all passed down from generation to generation, and they already know what direction they need.They will select a few candidate disciples for each sword, but the number is limited, and they will never cast a wide net.First, the imperial court does not allow it, and second, it cannot afford it.Therefore, the small forces will not open the gates of the mountain, but will only send envoys to quietly look for people with predestined relationship.

The disciples of these families all hope that the legendary story will happen: a small force with swordsmen and a sword without an owner, looking for disciples who have not been satisfied for many years, they can only search silently in the world.This day happened to come to a small town, and he fell in love with a young man with extraordinary talent, and asked him to inherit the powerful sword. This young man was his own son.

It's hard for such a good thing to happen, but it seems to be happening in Pei's house.

Ancestor Pei stroked his beard and said: "The devil's cave is certainly an opportunity, but the Pei family doesn't need to put all their eggs in one basket. Shoujing already has a place to go, and it's just waiting for the future. But Li Feng still wants to do more, one is to accumulate some resources for the family , and the second is to make meritorious service in front of the swordsman, to gain more favor for Shou Jing, and to pity the parents of the world."

He spoke emotionally, but couldn't hide his bragging, and the rest of them felt sad. Wang Feize said: "Swordsmen like promising children? My son does too. Even if he is a little worse than his niece, he still has the qualifications."

Pang Ke snorted and said, "A little bit closer? Is it far away? My niece is an innate inspiration, and your son was trained the day after tomorrow. How can you say he has a future?"

Wang Feize gave him a hard look, but his son Wang Cheng kept looking at Pei Shoujing and didn't respond to Pang Ke's words.

In fact, what Pang Ke said is correct. It is common sense that acquired aptitude is weaker than innate.

Acquired talents are not only more difficult to communicate with swords and various magical weapons, but also the requirements for suitable swords are more stringent, and they must be extremely suitable.In Mr. Chen's hometown dialect, innate inspiration can be "fuzzy matched", while acquired inspiration can only be "precisely matched", so the choice is much narrower.

Pei Lifeng glanced at Wang Cheng, then used his eyes to ask the old ancestor's opinion, and asked, "Shoujing, since your uncle has spoken, you can take your cousin to see that lord later."

Pei Shoujing had always looked calm, like a porcelain doll, and now said: "I don't think so."

Pei Lifeng was stunned, he didn't expect her to disagree with his order, and stared at her as if he didn't know this daughter.

Pei Shoujing lowered her eyes and said, "My daughter is willing to give it a try."

Only then did Pei Lifeng feel relieved.Wang Cheng was overjoyed, but he didn't know whether it was because he was happy to see the swordsman, or because Pei Shoujing was willing to help him.

A middle-aged beautiful woman next to him said: "Old ancestor, niece, I have a nephew..."

Before she could finish speaking, the others were already chattering: "I have a daughter—" "I have a grandson!" "I..."

Pang Ke's face turned blue and red, and he muttered, "Actually, I also have a..."

Pei Shoujing said something to Pei Lifeng in a low voice, and Pei Lifeng said: "Everyone, Master Swordsman will summon my son tomorrow at the exact hour of Chen Zheng, which is only four hours away from now..."

Everyone immediately said: "We go back and call people, there is still time." Some people said: "I have already called my team to set off, and it is halfway. It will not take two hours for me to join them."

Patriarch Pei sighed: "Since everyone is so sincere, how can we miss the children's future? You go back to pick up people, and prepare some gifts by the way-I'm not talking about those external things, swordsmen don't care about those. The list of contributions has been sorted out, and I will ask Your Excellency the Swordsman to see your sincerity."

Everyone nodded hurriedly, Pang Ke said: "I will bring my family's heritage and let my child hold it to show my family's sincerity."

This reminded everyone again, and everyone said one after another: "That's right, let's expose the property to the sun and add some luster."

Having made up their minds, everyone couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said goodbye and rushed down the mountain.In the blink of an eye, only the Pei family and Wang's father and son were left on the mountain.

Pei Lifeng said: "Brother-in-law, don't you need to go back and get the magic weapon?"

Brother Wang smiled and said, "I've already given Cheng'er the magic weapon. Can he not support his mother's actions? Everyone else is on the way and will arrive tomorrow."

Pei Lifeng said: "Sure enough, brother-in-law is reliable, and I want to have a good drink with you today. Will Cheng'er come? I'm eighteen years old, so I can have a drink too."

Wang Feize smiled and said, "Don't let him drink it, let them children play by themselves. Besides, wouldn't they be afraid of losing manners in front of swordsmen if they drink it?"

Pei Lifeng said: "That's all. But we can drink, the swordsman doesn't like to see us, so let's not go up there and put a cold ass on it."

After the outsiders dispersed, he spoke more casually, and said to Yun Xiangu: "Xianggu, prepare a banquet for us."

Yun Xiangu raised her eyebrows and said, "You bloody ghost, why should I drink in this clean place?"

Pei Lifeng smiled and said: "Then don't mention the wine, let's have a few cups of the intoxicating tea." After saying that, he took Brother Wang to go.

Yun Xiangu ignored them for now, stepped forward to support Patriarch Pei, and said, "Patriarch, let's go and have a rest." Patriarch Pei pushed the boat along the current, leaned on her, and slowly got up.

Holding Patriarch Pei by the arm, she complained: "You are too sudden, why did you come here as a swordsman? You didn't say anything in advance, you scared me to death..." Talking all the way, all the way.

In the jingshe, only Pei Shoujing, Wang Cheng and Tang Zhao were left.

Wang Cheng almost laughed out loud, and said, "Cousin, shall we go for a walk outside?"

Pei Shoujing said: "It's getting late, don't you need to sleep?"

The teacups and fruits in the house were messy, and Tang Zhao had to clean them up. He just felt a headache. Fortunately, he had experienced it too.

I heard someone say in my ear: "Will you come tomorrow too?"

As soon as Tang Zhao looked up, he saw Pei Shoujing looking at her with his head slightly lowered.At this time, she looked a little like the delicate girl under the dead branch.

"Me? Tell me to go?" Tang Zhao was surprised.

He had just heard clearly that the swordsman wanted to summon the inspirational Miao Zi, and from this point of view, of course he was eligible.But how did Pei Shoujing know he fit the bill?
Even if it is the extreme punishment, he can only know it after he is mentally stimulated.

Did he show any flaws?

Wang Cheng was very happy at first, but when Pei Shoujing suddenly spoke to a strange Daotong, she couldn't help feeling impatient, and said, "Cousin, you committed... what are you thinking? The summoning of the swordsman is for our benefit, what does it have to do with other people?"

Pei Shoujing ignored him, and said to Tang Zhao: "I always think you are a spiritual person, but I don't know if you are talented. You can try it tomorrow morning."

Tang Zhao said softly: "Aren't you not optimistic about bringing someone to that swordsman?"

Just now Pei Lifeng asked Pei Shoujing to show outsiders to the swordsman. Her first reaction was to refuse, but later Pei Lifeng insisted on stuffing a lot of people, so she didn't insist on her will.

Pei Shoujing said: "I don't like them now either. The swordsman must not like them. He doesn't like people like us. The richer he is, the more he hates them. I think he may like you more."
