"I think he's a Taoist."
The young Taoist said.
Li Shi looked at him and said, "Why?"
The young Taoist was about to say something, but he suddenly bent down and coughed, causing the white plums in front of him to become stained with blood.
After coughing for a long time, the young Taoist finally recovered, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Because if it was a sword cultivator, and his attack was neither light nor heavy, the sword would not have fallen on Mei, but on Senior Brother On the eyebrow."
Li Shi said softly: "That's true. I also think he is a Taoist, but my ideas are different from those of my junior brother."
"How different?"
"If a sword cultivator learns such a sword, he will not take it out, but hide it. If he doesn't have the foresight to provoke him, he will cut it down with one sword. But the Taoist is different. He is a Taoist and has understood this. With one sword strike, he naturally felt proud, so he wanted to find someone to show off to."
The young Taoist looked at Li Shi and said, "So he succeeded in showing off?"
"Yes, this is indeed a good sword."
Li Shi said in amazement, then bent down and picked up the plum branch.
This Taoist, who is known as the most talented Taoist in the Taoist sect today, looked at the plum blossom for a long time before turning to look at the young Taoist beside him.
"You're badly hurt."
The young Taoist said calmly: "Yes."
Li Shi sighed softly and said, "I told you early in the morning that the people of Mojian Cliff are neither from the world nor from the human world, so why should they go to such a place?"
The young Taoist is naturally Yunzhusheng, the master of Shanhe Guanzong.
It has been several months since Yun Zhusheng received the sword at Jianya. However, this Taoist in the upper realm of the human world has finally reached the outside of this pass.
One can imagine how seriously Yun Zhusheng was injured by that sword.
Hearing his senior brother's words, Yun Zhusheng just smiled softly and said: "Mojian Cliff is getting further and further away from the human world. I am very worried that one day this Sword Cliff, which has looked coldly on the human world for more than a thousand years, will one day... It will also disappear from the world like Hanguan Ami Temple. If this is true, those old things will probably be difficult to mention again. So I have to give it a try."
Yun Zhusheng said, but fell silent, and said slowly: "It's just like my senior brother said, Mo Jian Ya is a person in the sky. Her sword directly cut me down from the realm of the great road. "
When Chen Huaifeng was chatting with Yun Haichao in Nanyi City, he said that Yun Zhusheng might be about to enter the avenue.
However, when he walked all the way to this temple in the wind and snow, it was only the ninth realm of the trail.
Yun Zhusheng looked at his own divine sea. In the depths of the divine sea, the Tao sea that had just formed was completely broken. The sea water flowed everywhere, and the Tao tree also fell into the sea.
If there were all living things in the divine sea, this scene would probably be the scene of the end when the heaven and earth are broken and all things wither.
Li Shi said softly: "Just start over from scratch."
Yun Zhusheng said slowly: "There are many things that can no longer come back."
Li Shi fell silent. He naturally knew what Yun Zhusheng was talking about.
Even if the God of Ceres is not dead, he is only the God of Ceres after all.
The lifespan of a human being has its own set number.
One point of injury is one point.
The two stood quietly beside the snowy stream at the foot of the mountain.
After a long time, Yun Zhusheng looked at Li Shi and said, "Senior brother, is there anything else you want me to do?"
Li Shi looked at Yun Zhusheng quietly for a long time, handed the white plum in his hand to Yun Zhusheng, and then said slowly: "Liu Sanyue is not dead yet."
Yun Zhusheng nodded calmly, took the branch of white plum, coughed, turned and walked towards the snow where he came from.
With every step I take, the white plum blossoms on the branches wither.
At the same time, a white flower bloomed again on top of the broken Taoist tree in the young Taoist's divine sea.
When the white plum blossoms withered away, the Dao tree in the Dao Sea once again stood in the vast sea.
The trees are full of white flowers, which quickly wither and bear fruit, and then fall into the sea of Tao.
Li Shi stood there quietly, watching Yun Zhusheng's figure disappear into the snow, and then turned around.
Just at the moment when he turned around, the wind blew all over the snow in the stream.
Li Shi raised his fingers in front of him and looked silently at the young man in Qingshang who appeared in the fine snow by the stream at some time in the wind, sitting on the stream rocks and drinking wine.
Li Shi was silent for a while, then released his hand and saluted with his palm raised.
"Li Shi from Xiyun Temple has met Senior Qinglian."
Cao Weiying turned around and glanced at the Taoist from Shanhe Temple in surprise, then smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to be the second person to say my name."
Li Shi stood under the plum tree, looked at Cao Weiying and said, "Who is the first?"
"A wine shop owner named Wang Xiaoer."
Li Shi sighed and said, "It's a pity that I couldn't be the first person to reveal the identity of my senior."
Cao Weiying chuckled softly and said: "Of all things in the world, the human world always takes the lead. This is natural."
Li Shi said softly: "Senior is right. I just don't know why senior appears here."
Cao Weiying looked at the plum tree next to Li Shi, smiled slightly and said, "Because there is a very interesting sword here."
Li Shi looked back at the broken sword on the plum tree. The juice had solidified in the snow and was stained with white snow, making it look like a snowy plum.
"Senior, do you know where this sword came from?"
Cao Weiying drank wine and said calmly: "It comes from the heart."
Except for the sword in the heart, there is probably nothing that can travel 80,000 miles in the world.
"I see, this junior only knew that this sword was very good, but it turns out that it is good here, but it is a pity."
"What's a pity?"
"I thought senior was here to see me."
Cao Weiying chuckled softly and said, "How do you compare to Bai Fengyu?"
Li Shi stood under the plum blossoms, thought for a moment, and said, "It's probably a little bit worse."
"That's it. I don't even look at Bai Fengyu, so why should I come to see you? You're not as interesting as the sword in the heart."
Cao Weiying sat on the rocks in the creek, sipping her wine, then stood up and looked further north.
"But it is interesting that you built your Taoist temple here. There has never been a Taoist temple in the world that would appear outside the customs. Do you think you have escaped from the customs?"
Li Shi said calmly: "I know what senior means. Senior came from the era when Hangu Temple still existed in the world. Therefore, in senior's view, even if the world enters the Great Dao, it will not escape after all, so entering The Great Dao is just entering the Dao, not becoming the Dao. Just like under the sword cliff, there are no white clothes."
Li Shi paused for a moment, and also looked at the wind and snow in the north. Going further north, there was a vast desert that stretched beyond the human world.
There is snow in the desert, but few people see it.
“But you always have to look outside the customs first before you can really get out of the customs.”
Only when you go out of the customs can you get out of the customs.
Only by wearing white clothes can we be white.
Li Shi continued calmly: "I can master Hangu Temple, and I can master it too."
Cao Weiying turned around, looked at the young Taoist for a long time who said that Hangu Temple was as good as mine, and then laughed softly.
Of course, getting out of seclusion is more than just getting out of seclusion.
When you leave the pass, you are no longer in the human world. When you go up the cliff, you are no longer in the human world. When you enter the snow-capped mountains, you are no longer in the human world. When you step into the swamp, you are no longer in the human world.
The four major cultivation places in the world back then were actually not places on earth.
They are naturally much higher than the human world.
After leaving the human world, you are still a human being.
Heavenly beings are also human beings.
Therefore, humans can also be heavenly beings.
So Cao Weiying looked at Li Shi with a soft smile and said slowly: "If that's the case, then I think you are somewhat interesting."
Li Shi raised his hand to pick a plum blossom, then walked through the fine snow to Cao Weiying, and said softly: "If senior is willing to take a closer look, then senior will find that I am actually very interesting, far more interesting than my master." too much."
Cao Weiying said with a smile: "For example?"
Li Shi said softly: "For example, when my junior brother and the others meet their seniors, they will definitely not say or do anything. But I am different. When I met my seniors, I remembered that the plum blossoms I planted were blooming beautifully, so I thought I want to give one to senior."
Cao Weiying took the white plum from Li Shi, and then chuckled: "It's really interesting."
Li Shi also laughed softly, looked at Cao Weiying and said, "Senior has been looking north. Could it be that he still wants to find the location of Hangu Temple?"
Cao Weiying thought for a while and said: "I did have this idea originally. I always want to see the Southern Goddess when she is born. I rarely have some free time, and I probably regret that I didn't find the Taoist temple. But think about it. never mind."
"Why?"
"Because probably everyone in the world is dead." Cao Weiying said calmly, "You should have also read the supplementary records of Li Queyi's life?"
"Yes."
"Although the people in the temple are very tall, they are still mortal. It is difficult to form a community in such a place. According to the Human World Supplementary Collection, in a closed place, if a group race cannot be formed, it will naturally die out."
Li Shi said softly: "Senior's statement may erase many of the people's longing for the place where the avenue originated."
"As long as there is life, there must be death. Once you are asleep, you will wake up suddenly. The matter of life and death is the common sense of the Tao. If you can accept life, you must also be able to accept death."
Cao Weiying said it very calmly.
Li Shi sighed and said: "It is easy to know life, but difficult to know death."
Cao Weiying shook her head and said slowly: "It's easy to know that death is easy, but difficult to live."
Li Shi said calmly: "Senior's knowledge is knowing knowledge, and my knowledge is wise knowledge."
Cao Weiying didn't say anything more. She tied the white plum to the gourd rope with a smile, and then went towards the wind and snow.
"You can indeed come out and take a look."
Li Shi stood by the rocks of Fengxue Creek and said softly: "Yes."
This wind and snow chatting about Taoism came to an end.
Sword cultivators are of course also Tao cultivators.
...
There may be snowstorms every other day in the world.
But Lingnan does not.
After the snow stopped in the early morning of the 22nd, it didn't snow again. It wasn't until a day passed that the sword cultivators learned that Chen Huaifeng had gone to Lingnan.
Chen Huaifeng going to Lingnan is naturally not the same concept as Zhang Xiaoyu going to Lingnan.
Although both are disciples of the Human Sword Sect.
But Zhang Xiaoyu had already left the Human Sword Sect long ago, so he might have more identity as a disciple of Shanhe Temple.
But Chen Huaifeng is different. This senior swordsman who is famous for his health care still represents the swordsman in the world.
This news spread throughout Lingnan only in the early morning of the 23rd when people saw the man sitting on the Tingfeng River Bridge with Tingfeng Yin carrying a sword.
As for Lame Deer Sword Sect's sword cultivator's death, there is still no news in Lingnan.
There is a person sitting by the stream, and there is no one in the mountains. Naturally, the former is more likely to be noticed.
Therefore, the arrival of Qingtian Taoist Mei Xiyu the day before had an unusual meaning.
When Nan Dao came together in the early morning of the second day, he saw the waiter and the others discussing downstairs.
The news probably came from Wu Dalong and others.
Xiaoer and Xiaosan were going to that place with strong vitality of heaven and earth with Nan Dao today, so they brought the news with them.
Nan Dao stood on the corridor of the small building, looking at the two young boys downstairs who were building snowmen and talking about that, but he was in a daze for a long time.
Le Chaotian yawned and walked out. He was a little curious when he saw Nan Dao standing there without saying anything.
"Senior brother, what are you doing standing here?"
Nan Dao woke up with a start, looked back at Le Chaotian, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little curious."
"What are you curious about?" Le Chaotian was also curious.
"They said that Senior Brother Huai Feng went up the mountain." Nan Dao said softly, "It should be when we heard the gust of wind yesterday?"
Le Chaotian said thoughtfully: "Maybe so. Senior brother is curious why he suddenly went up the mountain?"
Nan Dao didn't speak, but just made a syllable "um" from his nose.
Le Chaotian said with a smile: "Lingnan is not a forbidden area... Well, it seems that it may have been banned recently, but it can't stop people like them anyway. Naturally, they can come and leave as they please."
Nan Dao was silent.
Le Chaotian had already greeted the two little ones downstairs with a smile.
"Good morning, two stupid ducks."
Although Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan were indeed wearing a bloated winter coat customized by Lu Xiaoxiao himself, they looked like two clumsy ducks.
But Le Chaotian said that others are stupid, which is a bit judging people by their appearance.
So Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan unceremoniously threw snowballs upstairs.
Lu Xiaoer's snow ball even contained a bit of sword intent, which was extremely devoid of martial ethics.
Le Chaotian was hiding and laughing.
The three of them played around for a while, then the two stupid ducks, ah, the two young boys stopped.
Lu Xiaosan said happily to Nan Dao: "Uncle, look, how big is this snowman?"
Nan Dao chuckled and said, "It's big."
Lu Xiaosan chuckled and said, "Uncle Master, do you still remember what I said that day?"
Nan Dao tilted his head under the umbrella and thought for a long time before he remembered what Lu Xiaosan said. When it snows, he will build a snowman with a puppy on his face. He calls it Le Chaotian.
Le Chaotian asked from the side: "What are you talking about?"
Nan Dao chuckled and said, "It's nothing, just some gossip."
Lu Xiaosan stuck out his tongue from below and smiled wildly. Then he leaned into Lu Xiaoer's ear and chattered for a while.
Lu Xiaoer nodded and started running down the canyon.
Lu Xiaosan squatted in front of the snowman and thought deeply.
Le Chaotian looked confused, what are these two stupid ducks going to do?
Not long after, Lu Xiaoer brought a lot of paint from Wu Dalong, the treasure bag.
The two began to laugh, splashing ink and brush on the snowman's face.
Then a dog's head with its tongue hanging out and smiling silly appeared on the snowman's face, and there was a crooked sentence written on the snowman's belly - My name is Le Chaotian.
Only then did Le Chaotian understand what the two of them were doing. He looked at the snowman downstairs with the puppy painted and couldn't laugh or cry. Then he looked at Lu Xiaoer and said with regret: "I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it. I thought it was just Lu Xiaosan." You only think of yourself as a traitor if you look like that, but I didn’t expect that you, Lu Xiaoer, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually become a traitor.”
Unfortunately, just as he finished speaking, two more snowballs came crashing down on him.
Le Chaotian smiled and pointed at the two of them with his thumb, and said to Nan Dao: "Look, they are in a hurry."
Nan Dao just held an umbrella and smiled.
There was another bloody storm in the three-person small building.
Nan Dao waited until they stopped and then said, "Okay, I'll take you to that uh... secret place."
Although Le Chaotian said that there is no secret realm in the world, Nandao still used this word to describe the place in the mountains where the vitality of heaven and earth is rich.
"Okay!" Lu Xiaosan jumped up again.
Nan Dao looked at Le Chaotian aside and said, "Junior brother, are you going?"
Le Chaotian thought for a while and said, "I have nothing to do today anyway, so I might as well go."
So the two of them walked downstairs.
Probably because he heard from Nandao that there was a spring there, Le Chaotian even brought a pipa with him with great interest.
Nan Dao walked downstairs only to find that Qingjiao had already gotten up, and her cabin had almost been rebuilt. She was sitting on the wooden corridor, holding a sword and looking at Lu Xiaoer who was playing in the snow with a smile. Three or two people.
Although Nandao also invited Qingjiao to go with him, Qingjiao did not go with him.
Probably for her, the most important thing at the moment is to cultivate the sword intention in the divine sea first.
The four of them walked through the mountain snow and headed towards the hot spring deep in the mountain.
...
Practice?
What practice?
Lu Xiaosan doesn't know, Lu Xiaoer doesn't know, and even Le Chaotian doesn't know.
When Nan Dao brought them to this hot spring, the two stupid ducks and the big stupid duck completely forgot about the so-called practice and the so-called sword immortal.
One by one, they lazily soaked in the hot springs and looked at the steaming water vapor.
What sword fairy?
Being able to have such a comfortable hot spring bath on such a cold and snowy day is a real swordsman.
These are Le Chaotian's original words.
As for the Pipa who was carried all the way, she had been thrown away long ago.
When Nan Dao appeared near the hot spring with several people.
Lu Xiaosan screamed in surprise, then threw the sword out of his arms and jumped in with a plop.
So those who lost their swords lost their swords, and those who lost their lutes lost their lutes.
One or two of them all soaked in.
"Senior brother, if you had said it was a hot spring, why would I bring a pipa? I must have brought a small hot pot!"
Nandao: "..."
Practice?
What practice?
How can you have fun soaking in hot springs and eating hot pot?
Le Chaotian regretted it too late.
