Laogou Town, in the middle of the big lake.
Nan Dao was holding a broken sword and panting on the moss and algae ground at the bottom of the lake.
The man in white, Tao Hua, was not far away, with the sword still in his hand and walking over expressionlessly.
Nan Dao waved his hand, indicating to Tao Hua that they would fight again later.
Although Taohua nodded, she didn't stop.
Nan Dao tilted his head and looked at Tao Hua, who was walking slowly with a sword in hand, and suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
Then he hurriedly rolled away.
The moss and algae on the ground were split open by the sword and floated chaotically to the sword dome.
Nan Dao was lying not far away, looking at the sword that was not spared at all. He was shocked and looked up at Tao Hua.
There are no facial features, and naturally there is no expression. There is only a bright peach blossom, which seems to be ruthlessly and ferociously swaying in the water.
He doesn't really want to kill me!
Nan Dao suddenly thought.
"Living in the world is a cruel thing." Taohua said in an indifferent voice, pointing her sword at Nandao, "Especially for people like us."
There was a commotion above the sword dome, and the four sword intentions that circled around Taohua shot away quickly. Four long swords wrapped around the sword dome and fell to the ground where Nan Dao was lying.
Nan Dao struggled to get up, and the sword spirit around him rushed forward, but was defeated in an instant.
Fortunately, it took a moment for Nan Dao to stand up holding the broken sword.
"If you can't." Taohua said lightly, "Then I will do it."
Nan Dao stood there silently.
It turned out that he really wanted to kill himself.
Taohua didn't give Nandao too much time to think. She stabbed with her sword, followed by four long swords hovering at the bottom of the lake.
Nan Dao looked silently at the five swords that came across the lake. Now he didn't have the black umbrella in his hand.
No one will always huddle under an umbrella.
Nan Dao's defeated four sword intentions gathered around him again, landed on the broken sword in his hand, climbed up along the broken sword body, and turned into the other half of the sword body.
But there is no such thing as a broken sword reforged.
Just to meet the sword.
Nan Dao raised his hand, holding the long sword in front of him, staring at the sword stabbed by Tao Hua.
Then he stabbed out with the same sword.
No two swords cross.
Taohua's sword pierced Nan Dao's heart.
So does the South Island.
So neither sword goes very deep.
The edge of the sword barely stopped in front of a beating heart.
Taohua looked down at Nandao.
Yes, this is the only and best way to break the situation.
Naturally, Nan Dao could no longer dodge those swords.
So he also chose not to hide or defend.
You want to kill me and go to the human world.
Then I will exchange my life with you.
So Taohua stopped, and the four long swords around her also stopped when they were approaching Nan Dao's eyebrows.
Nan Dao looked at Peach Blossom quietly.
It seemed like everything had stopped.
but none.
Nan Dao groaned and pushed the sword forward another inch.
Taohua looked down at Nan Dao's heart, and also at her own heart.
Both began to pump blood outward.
Peach Blossom seemed to be laughing, and the peach blossom on her face was swaying constantly.
Very brilliant, very wanton.
"very good."
Nan Dao said softly: "It can be better."
So he pushed the sword and thrust it in again.
The long sword on Peach Blossom's body suddenly attacked, cutting off both swords at the same time.
Nan Dao stepped back and knelt down with his sword in his hand. He looked up at Taohua, who still had half of the sword's edge left in his heart, and said slowly: "I actually don't believe in mutual rebirth."
"so?"
"So there has to be a result."
Nan Dao suddenly burst into flames, and the vitality of the world around him surged. Almost in an instant, he rushed in front of Tao Hua and pushed the half of the sword into Tao Hua's heart.
Taohua lowered her head and looked at Nandao calmly. Looking at the young man, she felt no pain. She just said calmly: "This is useless."
Taohua raised her hand to push Nandao away, dropped the broken sword in her hand, and sat down on the ground.
The small sword that had disappeared in front of him condensed out again, holding it in the palm of his hand. Taohua looked up at Nandao.
"You have to learn to draw the sword."
Nan Dao was pushed towards Peach Blossom by an irresistible force.
Until it stopped in front of Peach Blossom.
The peach blossom is rippling in the water and looking at the South Island.
So Nan Dao raised his hand, took hold of the small sword, and pulled out an inch.
Then it disappeared into the big lake.
Taohua sat at the bottom of the lake, forcing out the sword intent embedded in her heart, and gathered the four paths around her body.
The peach blossoms on her face are extremely bright.
It was like vomiting blood.
The blood in his heart was gradually taken away by the water at the bottom of the lake, dragging a line of bright red color towards somewhere.
Taohua stood up and followed the blood trail.
So he broke out of the lake.
...
A quarter of an hour ago.
Cao Weiying was eating tofu that Chen He had fried before by the lake, while looking at the two people in the lake.
I don't know what I remembered, and I nodded with satisfaction.
"It's really good."
I don’t know if I’m talking about tofu or what.
After eating for a while, Cao Weiying picked up the wine gourd and drank the wine, stood up, looked up at the peach tree for a long time, smiled softly, and walked towards the town.
Someone always wins.
Cao Weiying doesn't care who wins.
Whoever comes out is Nandao.
Very simple reason.
There is no difference.
While walking along the flower path, I looked at the spring sky.
Days like this are good.
But it seems it won't last long.
Cao Weiying looked at the heavy fog that was slowly dissipating.
Many mountains are slowly showing a green corner.
Just like that conversation by the window of the wine shop.
The fog dissipated, the mountains and cliffs merged, and the large lakes merged into the sea.
It is a human world.
But the history of the human world is still too short.
The people in the town have only learned to do simple things like making wine.
Thousands of simple things combined together make the human world.
Cao Weiying stopped outside the town and looked back for a long time at everything in the heavy fog.
He suddenly couldn't remember why he did these things.
Maybe it's like what I said to Chen He before.
There are many people who are still living under Nan Yi's influence.
So does he.
It's just a little more soft and a little less cold.
Cao Weiying thought about it, laughed to herself, and then fell silent.
There is no difference.
Cao Weiying thought to himself.
what differences are there?
He lowered his head and drank wine and walked into the town.
People in the town walked leisurely on the streets, and the wind in the spring town was very good.
All idealized winds are good.
Cao Weiying sat down at the door of the wine shop and found a kid to get herself a drink.
At least it was good in the beginning.
It’s not until many years later that people start to struggle.
The little kid drank some wine, handed it to Cao Weiying, and then went to catch the civet cat that was walking on tiptoes.
Cao Weiying looked at all this with a smile.
Let’s leave things to be discussed many years later.
When people have the ability to solve the problems of Old Dog Town.
Maybe you can go and see the real human world.
Cao Weiying took a sip of wine and began to wait quietly.
Waiting for the result under the Great Lakes.
When dusk sets in the west.
The wind in the town seemed to carry some moisture.
It's like someone climbed ashore by the lake covered in lake water.
So those evening breezes brought the moisture over.
Cao Weiying thought, so which one is it?
When Nan Dao came to the town carrying a broken sword, he saw Cao Weiying drinking wine and tilting his head as if thinking about something.
Nan Dao sat down next to Cao Weiying, sighed and said, "Can I ask you a question?"
Cao Weiying was stunned for a moment, thinking that I shouldn't ask you?
But Cao Weiying still nodded.
So Nan Dao raised his hand and pointed at his left ear.
There was a trail of blood there.
"Is this intentional or accidental?"
Cao Weiying couldn't hold it back and laughed. After laughing for a long time, she said seriously: "I'm sorry."
Of course it wasn't intentional or careless.
"Do you think I didn't see it?" Nan Dao looked at Cao Weiying suspiciously and asked.
"No." Caoweiying denied.
Nan Dao didn't dwell on it anymore. He looked up at the town and recalled the unbelievable thought he had when he first walked here. Now he seems to have become accustomed to the existence of this town.
After looking at it for a long time, Nan Dao said softly: "I feel like I have forgotten something. I remember that you should have told me before, forget it." Nan Dao turned to look at Cao Weiying. "What did I forget?"
Cao Weiying drank wine and said calmly: "I forgot what I should forget."
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
Cao Weiying thought for a while and said, "It should be a good thing."
Nan Dao laughed softly and said, "Since it is a good thing, then I don't care."
"I thought you would be struggling with this for a long time."
"I have been struggling for a long time." Nan Dao said slowly, "Has a long time passed?"
Cao Weiying shook his head and said, "Based on your time in the world, this is only the third day."
Nan Dao was silent for a while, looked at Cao Weiying and said, "Then you are really a miracle doctor!"
Cao Weiying chuckled softly and said, "Although I know you are complimenting me, I always feel that this sentence is like a curse."
Nan Dao looked at Cao Weiying strangely and said, "You seem to have some strange understanding."
Cao Weiying just smiled and said nothing.
The two of them sat at the door of the wine shop, looking up at the twilight town and the distant mountains and mist.
"Don't you go back and take a look?"
Cao Weiying asked.
Nan Dao shook his head, stretched out his two hands, and moved them back and forth.
He didn't hold an umbrella.
It turns out that you can walk in the world without an umbrella.
Nan Dao thought so, but only in Tianshang Town.
"It's rare to have two hands." Nan Dao said with a smile, "I want to stay a little longer."
It had been a long time since Nan Dao had tried the feeling of lying down with his head in his hands, so he threw the broken sword aside, put his hands behind his head, and fell backward.
Then he got slapped by a small town girl.
Because the girl was passing by wearing a floral skirt.
Cao Weiying was drinking wine and laughing.
Nan Dao covered his face, feeling aggrieved.
Then I decided to go back.
It's not that the slap made him unhappy.
But this slap reminded him of Qiu Xi'er.
Nan Dao looked at the broken sword beside him and hesitated whether to take it back too.
Cao Weiying also looked at the broken sword and said, "Have you brought up all the broken swords at the bottom of the lake?"
Nan Dao shook his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cao Weiying said with a strange expression: "It's better to bring it with you."
"Why?"
"Destroy the incriminating evidence."
Nan Dao was confused and didn’t know what this sentence meant.
Cao Weiying was thinking about something and said to himself.
"It just so happens that we can use the waste and see if the people in the town can learn to make swords."
Nan Dao looked at the broken sword in his hand, handed it to Cao Weiying, and said, "Then I'll give you this too."
Cao Weiying took the sword, still thinking.
Nan Dao stood up, his legs and feet were still a little weak, and he limped toward the outside of the town.
Just like Cao Weiying once said to him, how you came here is how you come back.
Cao Weiying was behind him, looking at Nan Dao's back with a smile.
Walking outside the town, Nan Dao looked at the peach tree by the lake at the end of the sea of flowers. He always felt that he had forgotten something there.
what is that?
The dusk gradually fades away.
Nan Dao opened his eyes and saw another twilight.
Chen He sat by the stage, reading the book with gusto.
Cao Weiying was at the side, looking at him with a slight smile.
Nan Dao was stunned for a moment.
The same questions as Chen He's had arisen.
He lowered his head and subconsciously looked at his heart, but there was nothing there.
The peach blossom was broken off by Cao Weiying and thrown downstairs before Nan Dao woke up.
Nan Dao raised his head again and looked at Cao Weiying.
Countless grasses in the world are fireflies.
Nan Dao quickly figured this out.
Chen He seemed to notice something. He raised his head and was very happy to see Nan Dao open his eyes.
"You finally woke up?"
Chen He blurted out this sentence and felt that something was wrong.
After all, only three days have passed.
Nan Dao stood up holding an umbrella. Just like the problem he and Chen He had discussed before, his legs were numb, and the previous leg injury was still not healed. He limped to the wind listening platform, very worried. He said happily:
"Yes."
...
South Island is an easy one to be.
...
