Lu Ming.
While walking in the wind and snow, Nan Dequ suddenly missed the iron plate tofu in Nanyi City.
Of course, some braised pig ears might also come to mind.
It was just that he was carrying a pair of ears of a great monk in his arms, so Nan Dequ tried his best to avoid thinking about such things.
After all, one cannot control one's thoughts.
For example, if you see a jade, you will think of jade feet.
But everything will only harm you.
This is the first time for this southern sword cultivator to come to such a windy and snowy land.
When he was in Nanyi City, every winter, this disciple who had been in the Sword Sect for more than 20 years would always say with emotion, the snow was so fucking heavy.
It was only when he came to this country in the west that Nan Dequ felt sincerely.
Bigger than your grandma.
If Nan Dequ was a person who loved snow very much, he would probably say "I love snow in my dreams" when facing such a human being, but it's a pity that Nan Dequ is not that person.
He also doesn't have any hobbies. Unlike Zhang Xiaoyu who plays cards all night long, he is also as keen on health care as Chen Huaifeng.
Just practice sword practice.
Just like when I picked up a wooden sword in my childhood, I felt like I had become the best swordsman in the world.
It’s just that the thirty-six-year-old Sword Sect disciple is still only a Nine Realm sword cultivator.
Not all fish are called Zhang Xiaoyu.
Not all morning dew is called Cheng Lu.
Nan Dequ sometimes suspected that his name was chosen casually because he was too lazy to do so.
Although nan and laziness have different pronunciations, it is normal for southerners to not be able to tell them apart.
The sword cultivator walked in the wind and snow for a long time, then sighed deeply, stopped on the snowfield path that led to an unknown place, unsheathed his sword, slashed it on the rock beside him, and then Some sword fires were lit.
Perhaps because he stayed in Nanyi City for too long, this sword cultivator has never been in the habit of using his sword energy to keep out the cold. Therefore, although he is clearly a Nine Realm sword cultivator, Nan Dequ froze his feet in the snow. Bang hard.
So the sword cultivator lit the sword fire and sat in the wind and snow that lasted for thousands of years to warm his feet.
Just sitting there, the sword cultivator's expression became strange, and he turned his head to look somewhere in the wind and snow.
...
"...Youth is like a dream in a blink of an eye, and the years fly by without turning back, and I give everything without reservation."
"God knows when and where we will break up. As long as you can love, you must love enough."
"I want to fly over spring, summer, autumn and winter, over thousands of mountains and rivers, and bring you all the intoxication."
"I want to face you every day and hold you to sleep every night, and I will never come back after the dream ends..."
Chen He was singing something randomly while pushing the Tianyan car, which was too cold to start, and walked in the snowy field.
Just as he was singing, the young man was stunned.
On the path not far away, there was a swordsman who was warming himself up by the fire, looking at him blankly.
The two looked at each other silently for a long time, but Chen He's face showed some joy, and he hurriedly pushed the cart towards the sword cultivator.
"Hey, senior brother, why are you here too?"
Nan Dequ looked at this very strange young man and thought to himself, are you also a southern swordsman?
"Who are you?"
The thirty-six-year-old Nine Realm Sword Cultivator looked at Chen He who was pushing the cart suspiciously.
But this guy’s car seems familiar. Have you seen it in Nanyi City?
Chen He rubbed his hands and leaned closer to Nande Qu's sword fire.
"When senior brother was at Nanyi City, I was watching from the city. I was a handyman in Xuanxuyuan at that time."
Nan Dequ nodded in realization, but he probably couldn't adapt to the enthusiasm of someone he didn't know very well. But looking at the young man sniffing while warming himself, he probably understood.
After all, in the snow country, fire is indeed the most important thing.
So Nan Dequ stepped aside and gave way.
Although they are not familiar with each other, they are all from Nanyi City after all, so they should naturally be more friendly.
"What are you doing here, senior brother?"
Chen He looked at Nan Dequ and asked curiously.
Nan Dequ said casually: "Find someone."
Of course, Chen He was not bored enough to ask a sword cultivator who he was looking for, so he just said "Oh" as if he knew him very well.
Nan Dequ looked at Chen He, thought for a moment, and asked, "What about you? What are you doing here?"
Chen He didn't know what he thought of. He sniffed and said with a smile: "I used to have a friend in Nanyi City. He had a very common wish, just to see the iron plate tofu market in Luming. how."
Nan Dequ swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't know what Lu Ming will do, but I definitely want to eat it."
Chen He sighed and said, "Although, I discovered a very serious problem."
Nan Dequ frowned and asked, "What's the problem?"
Chen He sighed and said: "Lu Ming has no tofu. In other words, there is very little tofu."
Nan Dequ was stunned and said, "Why?"
Chen He looked up to the sky and sighed.
"This land cannot grow soybeans."
"...."
"Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't grow soybeans, but I asked people in some towns I passed by before, and they said that you have to go at least farther south, closer to the Youhuang Mountains, to have enough climate to grow many things. There are probably only There are some people who sell tofu, but of course they don’t call it tofu, they call it white jade dish, which is a very expensive luxury product.”
Chen He said in surprise.
"It's been a thousand years since the Dafeng Dynasty was unified, and tofu is actually a luxury product. It's hard to imagine what Lu Ming was like before."
Although when Chen He talks about Bai Yuyao, it always makes Nan Dequ think of a certain Taoist overhaul.
But this sword cultivator was also a little surprised by such a thing.
"That's true, but it's normal to think about it. After all, the wind and snow barrier is close to natural danger, and it is much more difficult to cross than Yunmeng Daze. Unless... Shenhe can truly make the two places no longer isolated."
I don’t know why, but when Nan Dequ mentioned Kamigawa, the atmosphere became a little stagnant.
But Chen He can probably understand.
After all, everyone in the world had naturally heard about that incident.
So Chen He changed the topic at the right time, stood up, pointed ahead and said, "I heard that there is a town ahead. Let's go there to rest for a while."
Nan Dequ was silent for a while, pulled out his sword from the ground, extinguished the sword fire, and nodded.
...
Snow White Town is very peaceful.
Shrouded in the vast snow, most of the people in the town were wearing very bulky clothes. Just like what the old man who used a chamber pot as a wine pot said in that yellow-liang town, Lu Mingren protected his ears very well. .
No one wants grace rather than warmth like the white-robed monk sitting on the mountain pass.
It was so cold that my ears hurt, so I simply cut it off and threw it to Nan Dequ.
Probably because of the perennial wind and snow, people in the town always habitually carry an oil lamp.
Chen He sometimes looked at the sky and thought that although it was always a bit gloomy, wouldn't you still be uncomfortable living here all year round?
The pedestrian with the lantern said silently: "I'm just afraid that outsiders like you won't be able to see the road clearly and will be knocked down, making you unable to breathe and thinking that your heart is in trouble."
Chen He was speechless.
So as soon as he entered the town, Chen He also took out a small oil lamp from Tianyan's car, and hung it on the front of the car like a countryman, emitting a faint orange light.
But this did give Chen He some very novel ideas.
Why not hang two oil lamps on the front of the car?
In this way, even if you drive the Tianyan car around at night, you won't hit anyone.
Chen He's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea, so Chen He asked Nan Dequ to wait for him on the street. Then he ran over, found a shop, bought a few oil lamps, and squatted next to the car to tinker with it. For a while.
Lu Ming's oil lamps are naturally covered with wind and snow covers, so even if they are hung on the front of the car, they will not be blown away by the wind to indicate that they are dying.
Nan De Qu was weirdly watched for a long time.
"These two lamps are probably not enough for lighting."
Chen He explained seriously: "It's just to prevent someone from being invisible and bumping into me."
"That's fine."
The two walked into a snow country restaurant. As a human being, Chen He naturally ordered some wine and baked potatoes.
It wasn't until he ate something that Chen He finally felt better.
After all, the temperature is too low. Just relying on clothes to keep warm is naturally not enough. You must also rely on your body to dissipate heat.
Maybe it's because of the war.
There were no guests in the inn. Chen He was eating potatoes and drinking wine, while Nan Dequ was holding his sword and warming himself by the fire. The two were silent for a long time.
Chen He thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the person Senior Brother is looking for in Lu Ming?"
Nan Dequ looked at the sword in his hand and said slowly: "It's in the depths. You may have to go to Jidu to find it."
Chen He nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "But I heard that there seems to be a war still going on over there. It is said that there were 300,000 Qingjia from Nanyi City."
Nan Dequ thought about it and felt very calm.
"They beat them, we were just passing by..."
Before Nande Qu finished his sentence, the swordsman suddenly looked at the heavy fur curtain of the restaurant, and someone seemed to flash past outside.
Before Chen He could react to what happened, the sword cultivator had already stood up with his sword in hand and suddenly walked out of the restaurant. Scratching his head in confusion, Chen He also held the uneaten potato, walked to the door of the restaurant, opened the curtain, and looked there.
I saw Nan Dequ standing in the long street, holding the sword in his hand, looking at the snow town street with few pedestrians.
"Did that person just walk by?"
Chen He hesitated a little, looked at him and asked.
Nan Dequ squinted his eyes and looked at the long street for a long time, then shook his head and whispered: "I don't know, it's just..."
As the sword cultivator spoke, he took out a pair of ears from his arms.
Chen He raised his eyebrows and looked at the pair of ears. He felt that they looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before.
After all, everyone knows that they are working together.
But if you throw out the character "瀣" by itself, it's definitely not familiar.
Nan Dequ looked at the ears in his hands.
"This was given to me by a senior, just now."
Just now, these ears moved uneasily in Nan Dequ's arms.
At the same time, Nan Dequ heard a very ethereal voice in his heart.
Probably just to take a look outside the door.
Nan Dequ looked at Chen He, who was just a worldly person, and perhaps realized that he shouldn't say such things to the world. The sword cultivator put his ears back into his arms and said softly: "Maybe he feels something in his heart. .”
Chen He didn't care about half of what Nande Qu said, and turned to look at the long street with not many pedestrians, just the howling wind and snow.
There are many deep and shallow footprints on the ground.
Nan Dequ also looked at the traces in the snow.
Just in front of the restaurant, there was a line of fresh footprints that had not yet been covered by the snow.
There were obviously no pedestrians walking in front.
Nan Dequ looked at the line of footprints, narrowed his eyes again, and walked over with his sword in hand. Then he was silent for a while and followed the line of footprints.
Chen He thought for a moment, then turned and walked back to the restaurant, paid, ordered two more potatoes, wrapped them up and stuffed them into his arms, then hurried out of the inn with the uneaten potatoes.
Although it is said that you should not drive when you drink, and you should not drink when driving, Tianyan's car really couldn't drive very fast in the heavy snow.
The two oil lamps were like the eyes of lantern fish in the sea, dangling in the snow.
Chen He hurriedly walked in that direction.
...
Nan Dequ followed the hurried footsteps, but he left the town directly and came to a wilderness.
The wind and snow were howling everywhere, and the world was so vast that we had no idea where we were ahead.
Of course, Lu Ming is not invisible to the sky all the time. Sometimes when the wind and snow are light, you can naturally see some distant snow-capped mountains.
It's just a pity that this is not the case now.
Therefore, even though this was a Nine Realm Sword Cultivator, he did not rashly turn into sword light to travel through the wind and snow.
The footprints are still moving forward, but when they reach the wild area, they are somewhat looming.
Nande Qushang was following the footsteps, but there was the sound of rolling snow behind him.
Holding the sword and turning around, he found that it was Chen He who was driving the Tianyan car. The two oil lamps were still dangling in front of the car - as Chen He said, hang two oil lamps when the car is not snowy yet. , then it can be seen.
Nan Dequ hesitated for a moment, probably because he was worried that Chen He would bump into him, so he said, "I'm here."
So the two oil lamps dangling in the snow slowly slowed down and stopped behind Mei Quming.
"Did you find anything?"
Chen He took the oil lamp he had bought earlier from the car and handed it to Nan Dequ. The latter took it and shook his head calmly.
The line of footprints ahead was almost invisible.
Nan Dequ was naturally hesitant at this time whether to continue the pursuit.
After all, from the previous actions of holding the sword many times, it is enough to see that this sword cultivator is very cautious.
After all, he is not looking for someone else.
But it was a senior fellow from the former Sword Sect.
A fellow demon cultivator who lived more than 400 years ago even killed the Prime Minister on the Youhuang Mountains.
Naturally, there are many worries in mind.
It's just that the two of them are still staying in the wind and snow, and the wind and snow in this world seems to have gradually calmed down.
Gradually, in the distant snow, the outlines of many mountains and rivers were revealed.
And it was only then that the two discovered that in this windy and snowy wilderness, there were many pedestrians walking in the distance holding lanterns in the snow.
Before I saw him, I saw a rather warm orange light.
Both of them subconsciously looked at their own oil lamps. It was probably necessary to have such an oil lamp in the snow.
But obviously now is not the time to think about these things.
Although the people in the wind and snow were scattered in different directions, they were all heading in the same direction, due north.
Nan Dequ frowned and looked over there for a long time.
Chen He also looked over there curiously.
Although the figures in the wind and snow could not be seen clearly, judging from their appearance, at least they were humans and not ghosts, because from a vague appearance, they were all hunched over, like rather fat snow bears.
Such a posture naturally means that he is very cold.
Chen He also shrank subconsciously.
Nan Dequ, on the other hand, always had sword intent around his body, but his long body stood out in the wind and snow.
Chen He looked at the direction the pedestrians were going in, and it seemed to be the same as the direction the two of them came from, so he thought for a while and said, "Should you go ahead and ask them?"
Nan Dequ was silent for a while and nodded.
Only then did Chen He see the Sword Sect disciple let out a long breath, and his body was steaming with heat. It was obvious that he was extremely nervous before.
After all, it’s windy and snowy, and no one knows what will happen ahead.
Chen He pushed the cart and headed toward the distant pedestrians with Nan Dequ.
"What are you chasing after?"
On the way, Nan Dequ looked at Chen He strangely.
The latter smiled, looked at Feng Xue and said: "After all, senior brother is a very powerful sword cultivator. If we can go with him all the way, we can naturally avoid some troubles."
For example, if there is an unfinished battle, Chen He will naturally be helpless.
But Nan Dequ was very calm, they fought their way, we went our way.
Different human worlds naturally require different ways of traveling.
Deer Ming is suitable for walking together.
Otherwise, if I accidentally get buried in the snow one day, no one will help me erect a monument.
Nan Dequ looked at Chen He and said, "So you also want to see the depths of Luming?"
Chen He said sincerely: "After all, it's rare to come to Lu Ming. You can't just turn around and leave just because this land lacks soybeans. The world is so big, you have to look around."
Nan Dequ looked at Chen He with envy.
Although the disciples of the Sword Sect are sometimes cool and unrestrained, it is obvious that in some stories, they cannot help themselves.
After all, it is the Human Sword Sect.
.....
"You mean there is a mountain temple ahead?"
Chen He looked suspiciously at the passerby in the forest who wrapped himself tightly, and asked in disbelief.
"yes."
The man said matter-of-factly.
Chen He then raised his head and looked forward. Unfortunately, although the wind and snow were lighter, the world was still vast and white, undulating, and there was probably no mountain temple anywhere in sight.
Nan Dequ was also looking there. The sword cultivator's vision was probably much better. After all, he couldn't see anything and could leave his body with his sword intention.
"There is indeed a temple."
The swordsman said softly.
At the edge of the wind and snow in the distance, Nan Dequ vaguely saw the outline of a temple looming on the snowy mountainside.
"If you are sincere, you will have it."
The passerby said this very piously.
