After Lu Xiaoxiao left, the two quickly solved the chicken soup.
Le Chaotian probably felt a little tired after walking around for so long, so he went back to his room to sleep.
Nan Dao was still staying in the corridor on the second floor blowing the wind. The movable doors behind him that Le Chaotian asked for were all wide open. The wind from the unbroken autumn rain came directly through the building. go.
It's a pity that it's not awe-inspiring, just a feeling of loneliness.
Nan Dao didn't know where this feeling came from.
Then he remembered the story he heard today.
After thinking in silence for a long time, he sat down by the rain curtain, and his thoughts sank into the sea of spirits.
Peach Blossom's injury had long since healed, so she did not lie down under the peach tree, but sat by the lake where she had fallen asleep.
The white clothes are still floating in the breeze of the divine sea, the peach blossoms on the face are trembling slightly, and the hands are held in front of the body, with a small peach blossom sword suspended in the middle.
"I have a question."
Nan Dao said this and walked towards Taohua.
While still walking by the stream, I heard Peach Blossom's calm voice coming from the lake.
"You don't just have one problem."
This was supposed to be a rhetorical question, but in that plain tone, it became a straightforward statement.
Nan Dao then stopped and looked down at the vitality stream.
The stream was clear, but it also had a faint light, as if some kind of blue plant juice had been diluted in the water.
That may be the light of this divine sea at night.
Nan Dao thought like this, then looked up at the countless vortexes of vitality above his head that were like a river of stars.
Of course, the vitality of heaven and earth is also invisible and colorless.
Just like what he and Le Chaotian said today about holding the sword.
"I do have a lot of questions."
Nan Dao raised his head and said slowly, but without walking over, he sat down by the vitality stream.
"Like what the hell am I."
Before Taohua could speak in Nandao, she took the initiative to speak out the problem.
"You probably won't be able to answer this question." Nan Dao said calmly.
Taohua chuckled and said, "Yes, the greatest significance of secrets is that it will become your motivation to move forward."
Nan Dao took off the two swords behind him, and then pulled out one of them, which was Parrot Island.
Nan Dao didn't deliberately pull out the sword. Many things happened just casually.
Although this long sword from the big lake where Cao Weiying was born is just an image in the divine sea, after experiencing the fusion of swordsmanship many times, its essence can naturally be reproduced in the divine sea. .
Parrot Island always had a cold light, except when it was first fished out of the lake and the sword was covered with water plants.
Nan Dao looked at the sword in his hand calmly, then moved forward and immersed it sideways into the vitality stream.
There are many fish in the stream.
At first there were just one or two sword fish, but now, they have multiplied into a large school of fish.
When Yiaozhou Island was immersed in the stream, those small sword intentions with some faint blue light came out happily - most of them were born because of a certain beggar Hua Wuxi in Nanyi City.
"The intention of the sword is to kill." Nan Dao quietly looked at the fish with sword intention attached to Parrot Island and said slowly, "Then if there is such a person, he can live a leisurely and happy life, even if he occasionally Dissatisfied, but not resentful, can such a person possess sword intent?"
Taohua said calmly: "No one has ever said that the intention of the sword is only to kill. What you said today is just the intention of holding the sword, so you are a bit stupid to ask this question."
"Then let me change the question." Nan Dao straightened up, took Yiaozhou Island out of the stream, and laid it in front of his eyes. He looked at the swords above that had lost their fish bodies as soon as they left the stream and turned into invisible meanings. Said, "Can such a person become a major swordsman?"
"Of course." Taohua said calmly, turning her face and looking at Nandao, "You are thinking about happy things."
"It's not just my junior brother's business." Nan Dao said softly, "The man holding the sword may move forward boldly, but I have a lot of things on my mind."
For example, Zhang Xiaoyu lost to a Taoist named Li Shi in the north - a young man whom Nan Dao had met once in Nanyi City.
For example, he still didn't understand what Zhang Xiaoyu's sword meant.
"Those who move forward indomitably are those who move forward indomitably." The peach blossom turned back, and the peach blossom swayed slowly on the lake. "The person holding the sword is just the person holding the sword. There may be a natural connection between the two, but it is not an inevitable connection."
Even carrying a sword and holding a sword have different meanings in the human world.
Of course sword cultivation in this world is not just a gesture.
Nan Dao wrapped the Yiaozhou Island in his hand with a wine flag again, then stood up, faced Peach Blossom, was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "What about me?"
Taohua said calmly: "That's your business."
It was me once and it's you now, so naturally it's your business.
"Then what is the meaning of your existence?" Nan Dao looked at Tao Hua quietly.
"I am all the past that you can't get rid of." Taohua said calmly, the small sword in her hand floated up and down. "If you don't know how to move forward, try killing me as your goal."
Nan Dao looked at Tao Hua for a long time, then carried Yiaozhou behind him and walked towards the lake until he stopped in front of Tao Hua and looked at the sword in his hand.
"I want to try."
"good."
So Nan Dao raised his hand and held the sword in Tao Hua's hand.
But nothing came out.
The little peach blossom sword still looks like that.
"You can try again when you are stronger." Taohua said calmly.
"I have become enlightened."
"It's another realm."
"Sword Intent?"
"no."
Nan Dao fell silent, a boundless fear welling up in his heart.
"what is that?"
"To me." Taohua raised her head and looked quietly at the young man holding the umbrella in front of her. "To my land, South Island."
"What...is this my realm?" Nan Dao asked softly.
Taohua said calmly: "These are the questions you are asking me, everything, everything."
"When can I break through?"
"When you no longer have questions, no longer be confused, no longer wander, no longer hesitate. When you stand here to tell me something, rather than expecting me to give you an answer, when you realize that everything is, When the real person is not me.”
Nan Dao was silent for a long time and said: "So the next stage is about me and myself."
"Yes."
"good."
...
The few autumn rains left in this autumn may have stopped earlier.
When Nan Dao opened his eyes, he realized that it was already the early morning of the second day.
The rain has not dissipated, and the green mountains in the distance are tinged with hazy yellow and red.
Nan Dao quietly looked at the distant scenery.
Behind the mountains, of course, are mountains.
Nan Dao thought so.
But mountains are different.
Then the energy of heaven and earth came towards the small building. The two swords behind Nan Dao were unsheathed, one hanging around him and the other falling on his knees.
He didn't think about those vague things about me or not me. He just entered a state of practice in the wet morning breeze of autumn.
It's just that this practice didn't last long.
When Nan Dao opened his eyes again, Le Chaotian was yawning and walking out of the building.
"It was such a good sleep. It felt like I forgot something yesterday."
Le Chaotian muttered to the side, then looked to the side and opened his eyes, dissipating the sword intent and vitality. He was looking helplessly at Nan Dao, smiled and waved his hand and said: "Good morning, senior brother, it's so early. Have you gotten up to practice?"
Nan Dao turned his head and looked outside the building.
The shadow of the small building was only a short one among the fallen maples.
It's not too late, after all, it's not yet afternoon, so maybe it can really be said to be early.
Le Chaotian naturally knew what Nan Dao was looking at. As he walked towards the building, he muttered: "I sleep alone at three o'clock in the sun. Who is the god?"
Le Chaotian smiled softly and walked into the building, leaving only the words "I am a god" in the noon wind.
I sleep alone at three o'clock in the morning.
Who is a god?
I am a god.
Le Chaotian seemed to be humming something inside, and when he came out, he only had a gourd silk around his waist, and the Butterfly Love Flower was already carried behind his back again.
"Isn't it like this, senior brother?" Le Chaotian was swinging in front of Nan Dao with his sword on his back.
Nan Dao did not answer, but the hanging Parrot Island suddenly stabbed Le Chaotian, and then stopped in front of him.
Le Chaotian's sword was only three inches out.
Nan Dao took Yiaozhou back, held both swords in his hands, and then walked downstairs.
"If you can't draw the sword quickly enough, it's better to tie it around your waist."
Nan Dao said so.
Le Chaotian looked at Nan Dao's back with a smile in the corridor breeze.
"OK."
The two went to Luofeng Canyon.
They still practiced their swords for a while, warmed up, and then stood at the place where they tried their swords.
Parrot Island falls towards the mouth of the canyon again.
Then the sword wind blew.
Fallen leaves are falling all over the gorge again.
There was no autumn rain today, so naturally there was no curtain of rain falling over the canyon.
It's just that they have already arranged many things in the canyon.
When the fallen leaves were blown by the sword wind and fell to both sides of the canyon, many sword marks were revealed all over the canyon. These were the sword marks carved by Nan Dao on the ground of the canyon. They contained many sword intentions and divided the entire middle section of the canyon. For many areas, the areas are surrounded by red leaves, blocking the distant view.
This is Lu Xiaoxiao's idea.
The middle section of the canyon can be used as a place to test swords, while the two ends can be used as places to observe. Originally, she wanted to ask Wu Dalong to make wooden chairs and place them there, but Le Chaotian thought it was too ugly, so she had to give up.
Nan Dao and Le Chaotian stood on the shortest line between those areas, separated to the left and right, quietly waiting for the fallen leaves to blow.
"Senior brother." Le Chaotian on the right side of the canyon called Nan Dao.
"Um?"
Nan Dao was originally looking down at the Peach Blossom Sword in his hand, but now he raised his head and looked at Le Chaotian.
Le Chaotian said with a smile: "I will win today."
Perhaps it was because of his sword intention yesterday that Le Chaotian was extra confident today.
If it were Nan Dao in the past, he might not have cared about such words, but after hearing these words today, Nan Dao raised his eyebrows and looked at Le Chaotian for a long time, then held the umbrella in his hand upright and said: " good."
Of course the word "hao" for sword repair has a different meaning.
For example, this one means.
you are done.
So when those fallen leaves began to arrive in the middle area.
Nan Dao's figure had already appeared on Le Chaotian's side.
Le Chaotian looked at Nan Dao's sword that was coming toward him, trying to suppress him and pass through the fallen leaves. He chuckled, and instead of facing him, he quickly retracted the sword, put his toes on the ground, and turned sideways to let Nan Dao go. The island passed through, and then stepped on the stone surfaces covered with sword marks above the canyon, but moved forward and appeared on the other side of the South Island.
The gorge was full of sword wind, and their robes were fluttering, but the two of them changed sides.
There are six fallen leaves on each sword.
Le Chaotian looked at the astonished young man across from him with a smile, and shook the sword with six fallen leaves in his hand, just like a child proudly shaking the candied haws he had snatched.
"Senior brother, I have cracked your suppression strategy."
However, before he finished speaking, the young man on the other side had already crossed the line again with his sword in hand.
Although they both have six fallen leaves, there is still a gap between Le Chaotian's sword and Nan Dao's sword.
So whether it is cracked or not is not important to South Island.
Unless Lu Xiaoxiao and Lu Xiaoer came out from the areas on both sides again like ghosts.
But now there are only him and Le Chaotian, so it is naturally impossible for anyone to run out.
Since the first wave of soldiers... the fallen leaves were divided equally between the two, then naturally the second wave of fallen leaves became the most critical part.
Nan Dao's idea was also very simple. At the beginning, Le Chaotian was able to quickly get out of the way simply because there was not much pressure yet.
So he didn't say anything and just started to increase the intensity.
Nan Dao's flower-piercing sword was naturally very fast. Le Chaotian hurriedly raised his sword to face it, but he was also slashed backwards by the sword, almost hitting the maple leaf sword marks behind him.
Le Chaotian barely stabilized his figure, but the young man came again holding an umbrella.
After several sword strikes, Le Chaotian launched a surrender before the second wave of fallen leaves came.
Le Chaotian threw away his sword and sat down under a maple tree behind the dispersed maple leaf sword marks. While wiping the sweat from his forehead, he looked strangely at Nan Dao, who stood in front of him and was breathing slightly.
"Senior brother's sword seems to be much faster today."
Of course, he was also very ruthless.
Nan Dao raised his sword. The Peach Blossom Sword was green and black, so naturally his face couldn't be seen. Nan Dao couldn't see clearly what his expression was, but there was sweat dripping from his forehead.
"My sword has always been very fast." Nan Dao shook off the sweat on his sword and sat down next to Le Chaotian.
"Then why is my sword not so fast? My sword should be lighter than my senior brother's sword."
Although Le Chaotian's sword is as ugly as the Peach Blossom Sword, it is not as heavy as the Peach Blossom Sword.
Nan Dao tilted his head under the umbrella and thought for a while, then said: "Perhaps the first sword I saw was different. I saw your sword, and you saw my sword, so the standard of progress in your heart is also different."
Le Chaotian smiled and said: "Senior brother's sword is of course very fast, but I still prefer Xixue's sword."
Nan Dao turned to look at Le Chaotian and said, "Why?"
"Because it's really handsome!" Le Chaotian said softly. "I have always heard people say that there is wind and snow on the sword, but that is more of an inner feeling, rather than the actual wind and snow on the sword, but senior brother, your sword is really windy. Snow."
Drawing the sword at high speed, in that scorching high temperature, it is naturally difficult to have wind and snow.
It's just that the snow on Nandao's sword didn't come from the sword, but from Shenhai's eyes.
It was the wind and snow with infinite chill coming from another sword intent.
"You can't learn this sword." Nan Dao said.
No matter how cold the sword's intention is, the sword is always hot.
Le Chaotian touched the sword on the side that was still warm. After thinking about it, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful and said, "Okay then."
The two rested under the tree for a while, and then activated the sword test place again.
"Senior brother." Le Chaotian stood on the opposite side, looked at Nan Dao and said with a smile, "This time, I really won't lose."
Looking at Le Chaotian, Nan Dao also laughed and said, "Okay."
The meaning of the word "good" is different.
Fallen leaves come suddenly.
.....
In the afternoon, two young boys, Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan, sneaked over again.
In fact, it can't be considered secretly. After all, Lu Xiaoxiao must know, and they won't be fooling around when they come to the South Island. After all, the sword-testing place here is still very fun.
As for the other three, Lu Xiaoyi is the senior sister, so she naturally has to take care of things and handle the sect affairs with Lu Xiaoxiao. In fact, there is nothing wrong with them, just some daily chores. Lu Xiaosi and Lu Xiaowu have only just started, so they don’t like to run around so much.
When Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan ran up the canyon, they happened to see Nan Dao driving Le Chaotian to a dead end with a sword. The latter gasped and smiled helplessly, abandoned his sword and sat down.
"Wow, Uncle Master knocked down the tuner again."
"..."
Originally it was Lu Xiaosan who usually said this, but after being fooled by Le Chaotian last time, he honestly called him Uncle Le Chaotian, so now it is Lu Xiaoer who asks him to make music.
Lu Xiaosan was laughing on the side, but did not correct his senior brother's words.
However, although Lu Xiaoer asked Le Chaotian to make music, he was always on the same side with Le Chaotian during group battles. And every time Nan Dao crossed the line to seize the leaves, this kid crossed with his sword. He broke through those fallen leaf barriers and stabbed towards the South Island with a serious look on his face.
At the beginning, Nan Dao could handle it, but after playing too much, this guy's swordsmanship improved rapidly, which often made Nan Dao disgraced. After all, there are only so many vitality streams, and everyone is the same, so naturally. See who has more.
Le Chaotian also carefully divided different contents and names for this kind of group sword test.
For example, he and Nan Dao usually sit in the middle area, where the leaves fall the fastest, which is called quick decision.
As for the two areas on the side, one is the same as the middle, a single-player sword test area, because the fallen leaves are the last to come, and it is called Xiuyuan.
On the windy side of the canyon, because two people are testing the sword together, it is called Hebi.
In the middle of these three areas, there are some scattered areas called Rangers.
Lu Xiaoer is the ranger, Lu Xiaoxiao and Lu Xiaoyi are Hebi from Le Chaotian's side, and Lu Xiaowu is Xiuyuan from Le Chaotian's side.
The South Island is more troublesome. Wu Dalong and Lu Xiaosan on my side are completely in the bottom lane, and they are submissive in the Pai Hebi area. The old man in the Ranger area cheers on every day, while Lu Xiaosi and Lu Xiaowu, who are on the road and repairing the long road, are real men fighting each other and don't care about anything.
Therefore, when they saw Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan climbing up the canyon, not only Le Chaotian was complained about, but also Nan Dao, who looked like a winner, also frowned.
The two looked at each other and sighed in unison.
"e=))Alas!"
