The swordsman who killed the dragon with ease did just as he had promised to the two venerable old men before. After killing the dragon, he did not ask for more, but just stayed in a corner of this majestic city, allowing the two old men to be kind and wanted to give away Yun Zhong politely refused to add these precious objects to the mansion. In the end, he couldn't stand the two of them and thanked them so much that they had to reluctantly accept some exquisite tea leaves. In addition to dealing with this matter, I never stepped out of the extremely spacious but empty mansion for almost the whole day. I got up to make tea at sunrise, and at sunset I picked out a few books from the small building behind the mansion and unfolded them. Juan Yedu actually never picked up the two swords from Gui Wuyue in the corner again. After more than ten days, they had collected a lot of dust.
At first, it was really hard to be clean. After all, the people here are simple. Even though the two old men tried their best to say that the young hero didn't like the bustle, but just wanted to be clean. Just be grateful and don't go and disturb him. On the contrary, it is contrary to the temperament of the young hero, and it is the easiest to cause upset. No matter how to ward off the people who come to thank him, there is still an endless stream of people coming to the door, especially those who are crossing the river who were attacked, even if they know this person. The young hero had a very stubborn temperament, so he finally knocked on the door of the remote mansion, prompting Yun Zhong to open the door and greet him with a sad expression. He could not help but say some polite words, and even almost bowed down, but Yun Zhong Zhong Ke stopped them one by one and spoke slowly to explain. His words were done casually and he could not deserve such a great gift.
Early this morning, Yun Zhong walked out as usual and opened the front door of the mansion. He took a deep breath and turned around to leave. He still saw some wild vegetables and fresh food neatly placed in front of the door. They were piled neatly, but it didn't look like they were given by one person. There were at least dozens of people coming and going. They probably knew that Yun Zhong liked peace and quiet, so they placed these inexpensive objects here before the sky was bright.
Every family here seems to have a much better life than the people outside, and they are also very kind-hearted. Although they can't afford much money, they know that food and clothing are the most important, so there have been fewer and fewer people visiting in the past few days, so they came up with this idea. Waiting for a way to repay his kindness, he picked out the freshest wild vegetables and fresh vegetables at home and sent them all to Yunzhong's house.
When Yun Zhong put on his coat and lowered his head to look, he even saw river shrimp jumping among them, almost jumping down the steps. They were probably caught from the river before dawn and were quickly delivered to the door of the mansion. They are still alive today. It was tight, but it made Yun Zhong smile lightly, pack up the things outside the door, and bring them all back to the mansion.
Knowing that this small world is not the same as the huge city that stood against the mountain and had pavilions everywhere, judging from the meaning of Nanyang Jun's words, it was probably the result of one person's means to create another small world, with birds in it. Animals, flowers, birds, fish and insects, as well as the people in the endless pavilions and pavilions in the majestic cities of villages and towns, also appeared from scratch, which even made Yun Zhong a little stunned. The five realms of the world are not uncommon until the declining years on the spiritual path. However, even the invincible Shantaorong who has transcended the five realms seems to be difficult to have such a means of creation. Originally, it was thought that these four people would at most It was only above the fifth level. Now Yun Zhong knew that he was still a little short-sighted.
While making tea, Yun Zhong, who had become thinner recently, was just sorting out the river delicacies, but he accidentally saw two sword scabbards among the river delicacies. He washed his hands and held them in the palms of his hands. The wooden scabbards were heavy enough to cover the whole body. Like old jade, it is clear and moist, and feels slightly cool when held in the palm of the hand, without any hint of coldness. I immediately knew that it was an expert's handiwork, but I just smiled, burned two plates of river shrimps and crabs, and ate by myself. After that, he picked up the old book on the table and never looked at the scabbard again.
It's as if the person who lives here is never a swordsman, but a scholar. All the sharpness in his body has faded away, and instead the bookish energy has taken over, making him calm and gentle.
At noon, someone knocked on the door. Yun Zhong looked at the books for several hours. All he saw was the folk customs and origins of this place. He planned to find some ancient books to confirm the date, but in the end he found nothing. Instead, he read the miscellaneous stories about gods and monsters recorded in the books. Entering a lot, I originally went into the mountains and flowers to look for horses, but I ended up looking for a lost wild deer for no reason, but I forgot my purpose. When there was a knock on the door, Yun Zhong was leaning on the bench, with the book covering his face as if he was not sleeping. After waking up slowly, he He walked forward, opened the door of the mansion, and did not look to see who was coming. He led the way to the main hall alone, offered a cup of tea for the visitor, and waited for the tea before sitting down.
"How did you know it was me?"
The visitor seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He stood up and took the two scabbards before drinking tea, held them in his palms and asked casually.
"In total, I have been here for more than ten days. Although the junior has put aside his dignity, he still knows that the senior's patience is far better than ordinary people, but everything has its time. If he can wait for more than ten days, it is probably because he has a calm mind like the senior. It’s no wonder that such a hidden talent can reach such a high level.”
Nanyang Jun originally came here with the idea of raising an army to punish the man, but in the end he stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Yun Zhong's two light words not only put himself in a lower position, but also said good things in front of Nanyang Jun. Even if the former was angry again, it would be hard for him to say something too unpleasant based on his status as a senior. If it were someone else, he would probably be able to dissipate most of this anger.
But Nanyang Jun was not annoyed, but tilted his head and asked, "The last sentence is for me, but the first sentence, I am a little confused, why do you care about your face? It is indeed as you think, in this young age The flow of the moon is different from that of the human world. Even if you cannot stay here for more than ten years, you can still afford it for a year and a half. What does a mere ten days have to do with giving up the four words "face".
"It's naturally not a good idea to waste your time practicing swordsmanship doing nothing and living up to the expectations of your seniors."
Yun Zhong lowered his eyebrows, but his eyes were calm.
"The world regards these Four Mysteries as too unfathomable, and even lists them above the Five Realms. I and a few others always find it very ridiculous. After all, except for the last level of the Four Mysteries, it does not belong to our four realms. In addition to the control of human beings, the other three realms are just obtained by a few people like me unintentionally. We have achieved some results by trickery or hard work. In the eyes of outsiders, they have become the kind of good fortune opportunities that come out of thin air. Enter The Four Mysteries require people to see the world and themselves, and it is not up to us to decide. The realm and skill gained through hard training are also achieved by those who have stepped into the Four Mysteries. Therefore, it is not so much that I established the Four Mysteries. These Four Mysteries have existed in the world, but I and the other three have lived in vain for countless years, happened to discover this mysterious realm, and have been guarding the gate here for a long time."
"Most of the people in the world who can enter this realm practice swords and spears. They wish they could split one day into two. I have never seen young people like you who would rather fight against a bull's horn than study in swordsmanship. I'm sorry. So, I can’t force you, right? A person can only enter this mysterious realm once in his life, but in my opinion, it’s not a waste. If you feel that you can regain your energy in the remaining time, even if you don’t practice swordsmanship, If you don’t learn sword moves, what can you do?”
Nanyang Jun, who has lived for too long, already knows that the young man in front of him seems to not only care about the sweetheart who wants to get it, but also cares about himself who has accomplished nothing and is weak.
Yunzhong didn't speak and let out a long breath.
It shouldn't be so pretentious.
No matter how I think about it, I am like a pack of wolves behind me, with a cliff in front of me, unable to advance or retreat, but I have to find another way on this cliff of ten thousand feet. I am not very good at climbing cliffs, and I don’t know how to rely on my imagination. Yukong, instead of just wasting your time here, it would be better to try to make yourself stronger than before.
"Have you rested enough?" Nanyang Jun flicked his yellow robe with a smile on his face again, and smiled rarely. Only then did he turn over the old score and cursed at Yun Zhong with a straight face, "There are really not many people in the world. There has never been a young man who dared to let me explain it to him before, and there will probably never be one in the future. Your brat’s arrogance is really big, and you want me to come to your door to persuade you in person."
Finally, Yun Zhong, who had lost most of his suffocation in the past few days, scratched his head and smiled. He stood up seriously and bowed to Lord Nanyang who was sitting opposite him.
Even Nanyang Jun has always felt that Yun Zhong's character is quite acceptable, even if he is too persistent in some complicated things that no one can understand, such as the right and wrong of good thoughts, he has actually forgotten the fate of this young man who was favored by his old friend. He is only at a young age. In more than ten years, he has seen much more of the human world and contemplated the vagaries of life than most people of the same age, but no matter what, sometimes he still He will be like a young man who cannot bear the bad things that come one after another, so he hides himself in such a corner and looks for all kinds of ways to relieve the pain in his heart.
Even just for a moment, Nanyang Jun, who had not felt any regret for many, many years, felt for the first time that maybe he should not have come to this. There are too many people suffering in the world. Even if an ordinary person can blink of an eye, countless bad news can happen in the world, but those who are physically and mentally tired and troubled should not be forcibly dragged out.
Standing outside the suffering, I advise those who are standing in the suffering to win consecutive battles, or to fight even when defeated. In any case, there are some people who stand and talk without pain.
Yun Zhong stood up just in time, and was about to go to the corner to pick up the two swords of Zigui and Wuyue, but he heard Nanyang Jun's soft voice behind him.
"It doesn't matter if you rest for a few days. When you encounter a difficult situation, you must not hold it in forever. It is easy to develop a disease. It's not shameful to cry freely."
Yun Zhong's raised hands were slightly stagnant. After standing quietly for a few breaths, he still held Zigui Wuyue in his hands, walked back to the distance, picked up the two scabbards on the table, and returned the swords to their sheaths.
"I haven't tried this in many years. I'm so unfamiliar with it. I'm afraid that opening the gate won't stop the torrent. Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I'd better skip it."
When the swordsman, who had barely stepped out of the mansion for more than ten days, walked out, the sky was filled with red clouds, and the sound of river waves could be heard in the distance. The scarlet-faced swordsman closed his eyes and sat down against the two stone lions in front of the mansion. , lowered his head and relaxed his shoulders, and walked away after a long time.
