Nan Dao took the wine gourd from Cao Weiying, took a big sip of wine, and then said: "Is it possible to go from poverty to blue and then to hell?"
Cao Weiying just smiled and put back the swords that Nan Dao had pulled out, but said nothing and walked towards the horizon.
Nan Dao followed curiously, holding an umbrella.
"Isn't that the case?"
Cao Weiying shook her head and said, "Of course not."
Nan Dao thought carefully about the big lake in Tianshang Town.
The entire town should be on a high cliff, so it can also be understood as being in the sky. Going to the bottom of the lake means going to the human world.
But after passing through those water plants, the original earth turned into the Sword Dome, and after the Sword Dome was the earth, which led to the south of Lingnan.
Nan Dao looked up at the gap in the sky above his head and asked, "Is it still Lingnan when we go back from here?"
Cao Weiying shrugged and said, "I don't know."
Nan Dao was silent for a while.
Still haven't figured out how Tianshang Town is connected to the sword throwing pond.
I just thought about it for a long time, but suddenly I remembered the book Tianya Sword Sect's Sword Dao Preliminary Explanation that I saw in Xuanxuyuan a long time ago.
He raised his eyebrows, looked at Cao Weiying in front of him, and said, "Is this really the end of the world?"
People are in the world, and the sword is at the end of the world. It comes when you wave it, and it goes away when you call it.
This is the sword cultivation philosophy of Tianya Sword Sect.
Unfortunately, something went wrong in the middle.
The problem lies here in Tianshang Town where Cao Weiying is a firefly.
After Nan Dao asked that question, Cao Weiying stopped, turned around and took back the wine gourd from Nan Dao, and then continued to move forward while drinking.
Nan Dao followed with some confusion.
The two of them walked for who knows how long, but they arrived at the edge of the sword-hilt land.
Swords have quantity, so big ones also have range.
There are still countless swords hanging down on the edge, like a cliff, but what flows down the cliff is not a clear stream, but the water of skylight.
Maybe it will turn into a clear stream, the water of the great river that Le Chaotian once lamented a few days ago coming up from the sky.
Nan Dao stood on the edge of the Cliff of Ten Thousand Swords and looked down. There were clouds and mist below, and nothing could be seen. Looking far into the sky, there seemed to be many bright lines entwined into whirlpools. Maybe they were smoke and dust, maybe they were stars. foam.
"The East China Sea has no boundaries." Cao Weiying did not answer Nan Dao Tianya's guess, but suddenly said such a sentence.
Nan Dao turned his head and looked over, only to see this young man in Qingshang quietly drinking wine and squinting his eyes into the distance.
"There is also no road leading to the East China Sea."
Nan Dao frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The East China Sea is 490,000 miles away. As long as you can cross the East China Sea in the human world by boat, even a human being can appear at the end of the East China Sea in an instant."
Cao Weiying chuckled.
But Nan Dao didn't understand the meaning of this laughter.
"Why?"
Cao Weiying drank wine and whispered: "All space and time outside the narrow scope of the human world are chaotic."
Nan Dao finally understood something.
"So this is indeed a town in the sky, but there are also some ways to the world. The end of the world may be at the end of the world, or it may be right next to the world - people are at the end of the world, how can the end of the world be so far away?"
Cao Weiying said with a smile: "Of course it is, otherwise why do you think those people would be so happy to throw so many swords into this?"
Nan Dao was silent for a while, then said: "Then why does the sword not respond when it gets here?"
Nan Dao previously thought it was because Tianshang Town was no longer on earth, but now that he thinks about it, it shouldn't be the case.
Cao Weiying seemed to remember something interesting while drinking wine, and said with a smile: "Because they ignored the most important part."
"What is it?"
"Give the sword a name."
Cao Weiying lowered her head and looked at the ground beneath her feet, then two swords flew out.
One is called Xiwu, and the other is called Buwen Zhong.
"Xiwu...doesn't hear the bell."
Nan Dao read subconsciously.
Then the two swords pierced the sky, dragging the sword intent around Nan Dao.
"Tianya is very close, but also very far away. There is no name. How could they go back?" Cao Weiying said with a chuckle.
Lingnan sword cultivators have never had the habit of naming their swords.
Famous swords often come from the three major sword sects in the world, or those sword sects in the East China Sea.
Lingnan's sword has never had a name.
Therefore, the ancestor of the Tianya Sword Sect who had a sudden thought that maybe he had guessed something was indeed right.
The sword is at the end of the world and will arrive in an instant.
But he forgot to leave a name among those thrown swords.
So after thousands of years of inheritance, those countless long swords fell silent in the sword lake where the grass was like a firefly.
Although Cao Weiying engraved their names, no one in the Tianya Sword Sect knew about it.
Nan Dao stood on the edge of the horizon silently and suddenly enlightened, looking at the endless hilt of the sword at his feet.
He sighed and said: "So that's the case. It seems that the masters of Tianya Sword Sect do have something."
But not much.
So I didn't even think of such a fatal mistake.
"So anyone can use these swords as long as they know their names?" Nan Dao asked, looking at Cao Weiying.
Cao Weiying didn't answer, she just raised her head and drank the wine, while looking at Nan Dao as if she were a fool.
"..."
Naturally, Nan Dao could see that he was despised.
"Okay, but why can I activate these two swords?"
Cao Weiying drank wine and walked in the direction he came from.
"Because they drank your bathwater."
"..."
Nan Dao didn't know whether Cao Weiying was talking about jumping in from the sword throwing pool, or whether he was referring to having dipped in the sword lake.
After looking at the two swords beside him, Nan Dao followed with an umbrella.
"By the way, since you came from that damn place, when you go back, find two people and ask them to write down the names of these swords." Cao Weiying said as he walked in front. "Take them out for a walk when you have time. They have been here for thousands of years and they are almost moldy."
Nan Dao looked at the swords at his feet and thought, why did you write so many poems and put them here just for people to memorize them?
"Bring them here from where I came from?" Nan Dao asked.
"It's not a good idea to come over there." Cao Weiying thought for a while and said, "Let's come over that high cliff."
"How come?"
"jump down."
Nan Dao was indeed right.
Whether it is the Sword Throwing Pond of Tianya Sword Sect or the stream above Xiaobai Waterfall, they can all lead to Tianshang Town.
Maybe it's like the door on the third floor of the library of Xuanxuyuan?
Nan Dao didn't know why he was able to enter because there was a door there.
Or because there is a person there.
In dreams, sometimes the body turns into a crane, and countless grasses in the world turn into fireflies.
Whether this is a coincidence or what, it is still something that no one has revealed.
Nan Dao followed him for a long time, but Cao Weiying turned around and looked at him with a strange expression.
"Why are you still following me?"
Nan Dao stood under the umbrella and said confidently: "Let's see how we can get out?"
Cao Weiying picked up the wine gourd and gave it to Nan Dao.
Boom boom, if it sounds good, it’s a good start.
"Go out the same way you came!"
When Nan Dao heard this, he looked up at the gap in the sky, sighed, and said, "Okay."
Nan Dao turned around and walked that way. After walking for a while, he looked back at Cao Weiying and said, "I found that you are not as gentle to me as before."
In the past, the grass was so good that the fireflies spoke softly and smiled gently. How could they hit Nan Dao on the head with a gourd?
Cao Weiying said with a smile: "We are all senior brothers, so naturally we have to endure some hardships."
"How did you know that I became a senior brother?"
"There is no junior brother behind you, why are you showing up here for no reason?"
"..."
It seems to make sense.
Nan Dao continued to walk forward, but remembered something again and turned around to ask.
"Is this something that others can know about?"
Cao Weiying just chuckled and said, "Please don't speak loudly."
Nan Dao thought of the stone tablet outside the town.
Then there was a trance in front of my eyes, but I appeared in the blind water again.
That 'door' is indeed under the sword-throwing pool.
Nan Dao looked at the two swords following him. Cao Weiying said two people, which should be just two people.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given myself two swords.
At noon in the stream, I don’t hear the bell.
The names of these two swords are pretty good.
Nan Dao was thinking as he headed upward.
Until he surfaced on the surface of the pool, Lu Xiaoer was still waiting there with his sword in his arms, but he seemed to be standing in the opposite direction, with his back to the South Island, as if he was staring at the path out in a daze.
Nan Dao was holding an umbrella and holding a sword and walked up behind Lu Xiaoer. Only then did Lu Xiaoer wake up, turned around and looked at Nan Dao and said, "Uncle Master is back?"
Nan Dao nodded, looked at the young boy and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Xiaoer was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Did Uncle Master find the peach blossom?"
Nan Dao did not ask further questions, but said slowly: "Not yet, but I know where it is."
"Okay, uncle."
...
The two of them left Tianya Sword Sect and headed towards Luofeng Canyon.
Lu Xiaoer was worried, but Nan Dao was also thinking that there were only three people in the Tianya Sword Sect, a crazy old man, a simple man who was blacksmithing, and a junior brother who did everything casually.
No matter how you look at it, you can't pick out two people who go to heaven to carry the name of the sword.
Then Nan Dao's eyes fell on Lu Xiaoer who was standing aside.
But having said that, Xiaobai Jianzong does have a candidate.
When Lu Xiaoer saw Nan Dao staring at him, he asked curiously: "What's the matter, uncle?"
Nan Dao turned back, smiled, and said, "It's nothing."
In Luofeng Canyon, Le Chaotian was sitting there, blowing the cucurbit flute. Judging from the sweat on his forehead, he must have just sat down to rest, while Lu Xiaosan was practicing his sword hummingly.
Qingjiao stood alone on the edge of the cliff outside the building with a sword on his back, wearing red clothes flying in the autumn wind, not knowing what he was thinking.
Naturally, no one knew about the confrontation between the two women outside the sword throwing pool.
Nan Dao ignored her and took Lu Xiaoer into the canyon.
"Where did senior brother go just now?" Le Chaotian stopped, hung the gourd silk on a branch nearby, looked at Nan Dao's wet clothes, and asked curiously.
"I'm looking for peach blossoms."
Lu Xiaoer got angry and ran to Lu Xiaosan to try his sword. Nan Dao held an umbrella and sat down next to Le Chaotian, placing the two swords beside him.
"Looking for Peach Blossom? Didn't Senior Sister say that it was blown by the Human Sword Sect? By the way, where did you find two such good swords?" Le Chaotian said, then he noticed the two new swords beside Nan Dao. He reached for it, put it on his lap and looked at it. "If you don't hear the bell, Xiwu, this name is okay."
Nan Dao turned to look at Le Chaotian, thought for a moment, and said, "Junior brother, are you interested in memorizing some poems?"
Le Chaotian shook his head and said with a smile: "I won't recite it."
"Don't you always play tunes and sing those things?"
"I learned it when I was a teenager. Now I'm lazy and don't want to memorize it."
"After memorizing it, can I become a great swordsman?"
"Then why doesn't Senior Brother memorize it?"
Nan Dao fell silent, thinking about the densely packed sword hilt, and said slowly: "I'm too lazy to memorize it, and I might get some words wrong."
Le Chaotian kept smiling at the side, probably thinking of Nan Dao who wrote the letter again.
Neither of them wanted to carry them, so Nan Dao turned to look at the two in the middle of the canyon.
Reciting poems should start from childhood.
"So whoever recites the poem can get these two swords?"
Nan Dao said sincerely: "You may get more swords."
Nan Dao felt like a sincere human trafficker.
"No amount of swords can impress me." Le Chaotian chuckled, "By the way, senior brother, why do you suddenly want someone to recite poems?"
Nan Dao sat under the umbrella and thought for a long time, and then said: "I discovered a um... secret place."
Before Nan Dao finished speaking, Le Chaotian laughed and said, "Senior brother, even if you say that this world is a secret realm, it will be easier for others to accept."
"Can't there be a secret realm in the world?"
"Maybe there is, but I have never seen it." Le Chaotian said with a smile, "Although the world sometimes wonders whether practitioners guard secret realms every day, dig up genius treasures and practice secretly. But in fact, there is nothing. Maybe. For a practitioner, the biggest secret may be the last bowl of noodles he ate when he was a boy, before he entered the path of spiritual practice. Then, unknown to the time in the mountains, the old noodle shop changed its sign over the years. After losing the boss, I can't find any familiar taste, so the noodle shop in my memory has become the biggest secret place - because it is no longer accessible, senior brother."
What Le Chaotian said was very moving.
So Nan Dao also subconsciously thought about it.
What is your secret realm?
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally remembered that I haven't gone that far in this world, and I probably won't have that kind of sigh.
So Nan Dao didn't think about it anymore and continued to look at the two young boys over there.
"I want Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan to go." Nan Dao said slowly.
"Going to memorize poetry?"
"To be precise, they are some sword names."
When Le Chaotian heard this, he looked down at the two swords on his knees, then raised his head thoughtfully, looked at Nandao and said, "Senior brother, have you discovered the secret of Tianya Sword Sect?"
Nan Dao said softly: "Yes, it's a big secret, and it sounds a bit stupid."
The founders of the Tianya Sword Sect figured everything out, but they missed the name of the sword.
When it comes to the human world, it is a joke that can be passed down for dozens of generations.
"Can this be said?" Le Chaotian asked.
Nan Dao thought for a while and said, "This can be said in a low voice."
"Why?"
"Because if it is too loud, it will scare the people in heaven."
Le Chaotian leaned over and said in a lowered voice, "Senior Brother, please tell me in a low voice."
Nan Dao glanced at him and said with a smile: "You don't recite poetry, what should I tell you to do?"
"Then forget it." Le Chaotian shrugged and sat back again.
Nan Dao thought for a while and realized that there were some things he could still say, so he said softly: "I have found the sword that the Tianya Sword Sect has lost for thousands of years."
Le Chaotian was stunned and asked: "Where?"
"It's just under the sword throwing pool."
"Then why have senior brothers and the others never been found?"
"Because they forgot to engrave their names."
"that's all?"
Le Chaotian felt incredible.
"That's it." Nan Dao said, whispering five words.
There is no bell in the stream at noon.
So the two swords that were originally lying quietly on Le Chaotian's knees suddenly shone with cold light and fell in front of Nan Dao with sword intent.
Also for example.
When will the moon come in the blue sky?
So somewhere on a cliff invisible to the world, a sword light burst out from the clear stream, crossed the green mountains, and fell into the canyon.
Outside the Little Red Building, Qingjiao, who was standing and dancing his sword in the autumn wind, suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the two sword lights that fell into the canyon in amazement.
The meaning of the sword is calm and the wind of the sword is mighty.
Not like a human sword.
Qingjiao looked at it silently for a while, but then she remembered what Lu Xiaoxiao had said before.
Lingnan is just ordinary, not bad.
so?
So naturally they can have hope.
Oh I see.
Qingjiao felt that she might understand something.
But Le Chaotian didn't understand. He looked at the five swords in front of Nan Dao and was very puzzled.
I sing songs every day, why doesn't the sword fly in front of me?
Is it because the person who carved the words on those swords seldom wrote the words?
The sword light in the canyon attracted Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan over there, looking at the five swords in front of Nan Dao in amazement.
"This is Uncle Master's sword? It's so handsome!"
Lu Xiaosan said with admiration.
Nan Dao smiled softly and said, "This is your sword."
Lu Xiaoer seemed to understand something, looked at Nan Dao and said, "Uncle Master, have you found those swords?"
Nan Dao said slowly: "Yes, and I have a question to ask you."
Lu Xiaoer looked at Nan Dao and seemed to realize something, standing upright.
Nan Dao sat under the umbrella, looked at the two teenagers in front of him, and said softly: "Do you want to become a great swordsman in the world?"
Both Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan nodded with great solemnity.
Two swords were disconnected from the South Island, fell down, and were inserted into the canyon.
One is called Xiwu, and the other is called Buwen Zhong.
The two swords were quietly inserted in front of the two young boys.
Lu Xiaosan was about to raise his hand to hold the sword.
Lu Xiaoer on the side said: "Is this the sword of the Tianya Sword Sect?"
Nan Dao said softly: "Yes."
Lu Xiaoer did not go to get it this time, but stood there looking at the two of them and said, "I am from the Xiaobai Sword Sect."
When Lu Xiaosan heard this, he also retracted his hand.
Although Tianya Sword Sect and Xiaobai Sword Sect have been neighbors for thousands of years, they are still two sword sects after all.
Nan Dao said softly: "Then I'll ask Senior Sister to come over."
Behind you, Parrot Island heads out of the canyon.
