Nan Dao sat there in silence.
However, Yu Chaoyun seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly stood up, crossed the courtyard, and walked towards the house not far away.
After a while, he came out with something long like a piece of cloth wrapped in cloth.
The Qingtian Dao girl stopped beside the boy, and then untied the strips of cloth, revealing the wooden sword inside which was quite worn compared to the original.
"He gave the sword to me at that time and said that if there was a chance, he could give it to you."
Yu Chaoyun said softly, looking at the wooden sword with some patterns carved on it with a broken flute.
"It's just that I thought it was something unlucky at the time, so I left it here. I happened to meet my uncle today, so I'll give it to you now."
Nan Dao turned his head and looked at the wooden sword silently for a while, but did not take it. He just said slowly: "This is probably an unlucky thing, and I didn't give him this sword. Even if If you really want to give it, it will also be given to my nephew named Lu Xiaoer."
Of course, Yu Chaoyun had also heard the name Lu Xiaoer from Youchun Mountain Pass.
That should be a Lingnan sword cultivator.
Probably because of this, You Chunshan did not say that he would hand it over to Lu Xiaoer, but chose a young man who might be in Huaidu.
After all, Lingnan is too far away from Huainan, and after something like that happened, no one knows where such a young boy will return.
It’s just that it’s naturally impossible for Nan Dao to take over such a sword.
Yu Chaoyun saw a very clear and firm rejection on Nan Dao's face.
After a moment of silence, the Qingtian Dao girl put away the wooden sword again.
"Oh well."
In fact, Tiangong Division rarely has any guests.
Therefore, in such a courtyard, there are only two people, Yu Chaoyun and Nan Dao.
Yu Chaoyun watched the young man drink up all the tea in his cup, so he poured him another cup.
"Why is Uncle Master in the Tiangong Department?"
Nan Dao looked at the troublesome tea that was once again filled into the cup. He was silent for a while and said slowly: "It's just some small things."
Of course, Nan Dao would not say anything about the story of Huaidu to the Qingtian Dao girl in front of him, whom he did not know very well.
Even though Mei Xiyu said that Qingtian Taoist Society would stand behind him.
It's just that terms like Qingtian Dao are obviously not related to such a girl who has just left the border.
But since he was calling his uncle after all, Nan Dao naturally couldn't say anything. He just sat there silently and drank the wolfberry tea that made Chen Huaifeng enjoy it - probably it was indeed a bit painful for the young man.
It has naturally been dark for a long time now in the human world.
It's just that in the Tiangong Department under those stone dome walls, it is naturally impossible to tell what time it is now, but there is a very gentle red light that illuminates the ground that is suspended all year round.
In order to prevent the girl in front of him from pouring tea to him again, after finishing the cup, Nan Dao stood up with an umbrella and headed out of the courtyard.
"I'll go outside and take a look."
Yu Chaoyun, who originally planned to pour Nan Dao a third cup of tea, was probably a little disappointed. Seeing the boy who was younger than himself holding an umbrella and heading out of the courtyard, he couldn't help but wonder what was under the umbrella that would make this boy. The truth has always been in my hand - all of You Chunshan's seemingly nonsense words are actually true.
"I'll go for a walk too."
Yu Chaoyun also stood up as he spoke.
Nan Dao looked back at Yu Chaoyun, but didn't say anything.
After all, it was just to escape the tea.
Yu Chaoyun poured himself a cup of tea, imitating Chen Huaifeng, carrying You Chunshan's sword behind his back, then holding the steaming wolfberry tea, he walked out of the yard with the young man, towards the cramped alleys of the Tiangong Department. Go.
...
Nan Dao probably never thought that he escaped those wolfberry teas, but faced some more difficult problems.
This girl from Qingtian Dao, under You Chunshan's sincere temptation, finally developed an extremely sincere sense of admiration after seeing the young boy with her own eyes.
So Yu Chaoyun, who was following Nan Dao, asked sincerely some questions that Nan Dao didn't know how to answer.
"When uncle Shi first came out of the pass, how did he use his energy to attack the pass?"
Nan Dao walked silently in the alley holding an umbrella.
He can naturally understand these problems of Yu Chaoyun.
Uncle Master, preaching, receiving karma and solving doubts.
It's just that he really couldn't answer such a question.
Because he is not a rookie, he is straight to the point and a person who wakes up from his dream.
He didn't even know how he came to see the mountain.
Of course, let alone leaving the customs.
Nan Dao was silent for a long time, then turned to look at Yu Chaoyun's sincere expression and said softly: "Everything will fall into place."
I came to ask and Wuyu said.
The clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle.
However, Yu Chaoyun was thinking about such a problem very seriously. After a long time, he sincerely raised his hands and saluted.
"Chaoyun has learned a lesson."
Nan Dao looked at Yu Chaoyun in confusion.
What were you taught?
But Yu Chaoyun said seriously: "Uncle Master is right, the matter of cultivation is basically a matter of conforming to the Tao. People follow the laws of the earth and the earth, and heaven and earth follow the Tao. The Tao follows nature, and letting everything take its course is the true meaning of cultivation. No wonder my uncle is a master, but Chaoyun is still stuck in the realm of Taoism."
The young man who was always known as his son-in-law looked down at the stone slab and walked in silence.
Sorry, I don't understand.
Even if the young man recited the Five Thousand Words of the Blue Ox at the beginning, he was just following the peach blossoms.
Taoism and so on are always just the seeds left by peach blossoms in the sea of Tao.
It's just that the young man walking quietly under the eaves of the Tiangong Department with his sword and umbrella behind his back has an extremely mysterious and profound meaning.
Yu Chaoyun thought in amazement, the master uncle is really the master uncle!
The two of them were walking in the alley, and when they were about to walk out of the government office, the young man suddenly stopped. The parrot behind him kept humming softly, and it was trembling uneasily in its sheath, as if it might be unsheathed at any time. Come as usual.
Yu Chaoyun still didn't know what was happening, but Nan Dao had already raised his hand to hold the scabbard of Youtiaozhou. As the young man's sword intention covered the sword body, the sword of flowing light slowly calmed down.
Yu Chaoyun looked at Nandao with some surprise, and there was a wave of wind around him subconsciously. He asked with some confusion: "What happened, uncle?"
Nan Dao withdrew his thoughts from the trembling white air in the divine sea, then took off the Parrot Island, placed it on the umbrella frame, and slowly pulled it out.
After looking at the sword from Caoweiying Sword Lake for a long time, the young man raised his head and looked far away in the mist, and said softly: "It's nothing."
Yu Chaoyun also looked in that direction. Unfortunately, he was in Huaidu. In addition, there was a very warm air in the Tiangong Division, so that everywhere was filled with water mist, and places slightly farther away were no longer visible. Naturally, this Taoist cultivator who left the customs realm saw nothing.
But the South Island is very clear.
That direction was where the big demon he saw nailed to the cliff was.
So is the big demon from the Siwu Demon Mansion breaking free?
The young man thought with a somewhat solemn expression, and returned Yingyaozhou to his sheath. He did not turn his back, but just held it in his hand and continued to move forward.
The two of them bypassed the alleys and stood on the edge of the high platform of the government office. Not far away, there was a complicated stone path going downwards, and many Tiangong officials could be seen hurriedly walking on it.
When Yu Chaoyun was about to sigh something, he vaguely saw some white lights flashing through the distant mist.
The girl who had left the customs turned her head to look at Nandao. Naturally, the young man also saw the white light. He was standing under the umbrella, holding his sword and looking quietly at the sword marks in the fog that were slowly closing in the distance.
Yu Chaoyun looked there with some curiosity, wondering why there was a sword passing through the Tiangong Division.
Nan Dao didn't say anything, maybe it was some of the Tiangong Division's defense methods that Song Yingxin mentioned.
Naturally, this young man has never looked down upon such an underground government office established by the world.
Because they were worried about walking too far and not being able to find their way back, Nan Dao and Yu Chaoyun naturally did not continue walking down.
After looking there for a long time, the two of them walked along the way they came.
It is probably late at night in this world.
Even the lights that were higher than the stone dome walls were gradually extinguished a lot, probably like the stars falling in the world, except that the stars were shining brightly, and those lights were indeed like red flowers, so maybe It is more appropriate to say that the spring scenery is lonely.
There is little spring light, so the red flowers wither.
But when the two of them were walking back, Yu Chaoyun was very surprised when he saw a figure walking in front of him and stopped.
"Master-uncle?"
Qin Chulai, who came back from the Stargazing Office at the bottom of Tiangong Division, suddenly heard such a voice, and turned around with some surprise, looking at Yu Chaoyun who didn't know why he appeared in Tiangong Division - he Naturally, she didn't know that Jiang Shanxue had entrusted Yu Chaoyun to escort You Chunshan to Huaidu.
But when Qin Chulai's eyes fell on the young man, his pupils suddenly shrank.
What a swordsman.
Qin Chulai, who was a Taoist cultivator of the previous generation of Qingtian Dao, could naturally see the rather sharp and awe-inspiring sword intent in the young man.
Just like the fine snow under an umbrella, it spreads but never disperses.
Nan Dao looked at the high-level Qingtian Taoist cultivator, remained silent for a while, and then bowed with his sword.
"I've met senior."
Qin Chulai looked at Nandao quietly for a long time, and then said softly: "That Xixue Jiannan Island in the East China Sea?"
Nan Dao was naturally a little surprised that Qin Chulai actually knew these things, but thinking about it, maybe the sword sects in the East China Sea began to spread the word to the world. After all, in the world today, among the next generation, the voice of the Taoist sect is indeed greater than Sword sects, those sword sects located under the cliff of the East China Sea would do this, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Maybe it's like what the young man said when he first heard the news that Zhang Xiaoyu asked in the human world and returned in defeat in Lingnan.
Zhang Xiaoyu lost, so naturally he was still there.
So Nan Dao said very calmly and sincerely: "Yes, senior."
Qin Chulai looked at the young man quietly for a long time, and then said softly: "You are indeed worthy of being one of the Three Swordsmen in the World."
Yu Chaoyun on the side listened to the extremely concise conversation between the two, but his eyes gradually opened wide.
Of course she could understand the meaning of Qin Chulai's words.
It’s not that a young man is worthy of the Three Swords in the World, but that the Three Swords are worthy of a young man.
The meaning is profound.
The young man held his sword and bowed again.
"Senior is so complimentary."
Qin Chulai said nothing more, turned to look at Yu Chaoyun, and asked a little strangely: "Why are you here?"
Yu Chaoyun bowed and told Qin Chu about Jiang Shanxue. The Taoist nodded thoughtfully.
Qin Chulai naturally knew more.
So after listening to the story of the young man from the East China Sea named You Chunshan, the Taoist silently glanced at somewhere in the Tiangong Division.
Yu Chaoyun naturally didn't notice this thing, but Nan Dao on the side was very keenly aware of the Taoist's glance.
In fact, it was naturally not just this uncle of Qingtian Dao who caught Nan Dao's attention.
When the sword was ringing in Parrot Island earlier, the young man had noticed that direction.
The sight of Qin Chu's arrival further confirmed the thoughts in the young man's mind.
after all......
Nan Dao lowered his head silently.
The century-old storm of Qingtian Road is related to the twelfth floor.
Qin Chulai said nothing more, looked at the two men and nodded, and then walked towards the other end of the alley - the direction away from Tiangong Division.
Perhaps Yu Chaoyun only noticed some of the melancholy between Qin Chulai's brows at this point - because the sword mark swept by Zhong Puxue was hidden, sometimes the Taoist's emotions were easily ignored.
It's just that this Qingtian Dao girl hesitated for a long time and still didn't ask Qin Chu what he was doing here.
After all, she was just a Taoist cultivator who had left the customs realm. It was too late for her to enter Taoism, and her inheritance had not yet been determined. There were some things that naturally made no sense to ask.
"Master, uncle, walk slowly."
Yu Chaoyun looked at the Taoist figure and bowed.
After the first few words of conversation, Nan Dao stood aside in silence, silently looking at the Taoist of Qingtian Dao.
To a young man, no matter how embarrassed a Taoist was, he was still a senior with a high level of attainment, at least someone who was currently unreachable.
But these are naturally not the focus.
The point is that the young man could faintly see some deeply hidden surprise and fear in the Taoist's eyes.
This made the young man ponder what happened in the story of Taoist or Qingtian Tao.
Only then would a Taoist of this realm have such an expression.
Yu Chaoyun watched his uncle leave, then looked back at the young man there, and asked curiously: "What is your uncle looking at?"
Nan Dao woke up with a start. The Taoist figure was no longer in the alley. The young man glanced into the distance silently, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Let's go back."
Although Yu Chaoyun felt a little weird, he didn't say anything.
After all, no matter how young a master is, he is still a master.
"How long will Uncle Master stay in Tiangong Division?"
Yu Chaoyun asked as he walked.
Nan Dao was silent for a while and said slowly: "I don't know, what's wrong?"
Yu Chaoyun said sincerely: "Uncle Master should be a role model for our generation. As a practitioner, Chaoyun naturally wants to learn more."
"...."
Nan Dao was silent.
What do you want to learn from me?
Are you making typos like me? Do you want to imitate me and not sleep?
The young man melancholy held an umbrella and crossed the alley.
Yu Chaoyun walked slower, carrying the wooden sword of the young man from the East China Sea, and looked around silently with some worry.
This Qingtian Dao girl recalled for a long time the way You Chunshan looked back at the sinking world before entering the Tiangong Department that day.
The way back has collapsed and the future is uncertain.
Probably really pitiful.
Maybe it would be better to have an uncle.
...
Qin Chulai was indeed uneasy.
Not only did they not notice Nan Dao and Yu Chaoyun, they also didn't even notice Song Yingxin who was right in front.
For a cultivator of the Dao Sea, this is probably something that shouldn't be done.
It wasn't until Song Yingxin called him several times that Qin Chulai came back to his senses. He looked at the head of the Tiangong Department in front of him who was standing in the dimming lights, and raised his palms to salute.
"I've met Mr. Secretary."
Song Yingxin returned the greeting, then looked at Qin Chulai strangely and asked, "The real person seems to be a little uneasy."
Qin Chulai was silent for a while and said, "That's true."
Song Yingxin's expression became solemn, he looked at the Qingtian Daoist, and asked in a deep voice: "What did the real person see in Guanxing Yamen?"
Qin Chulai stood there in silence, hesitated a little, saluted, and said, "I'm sorry I can't tell you."
Song Yingxin didn't hesitate any longer, he just nodded and made way for Qin Chulai, who was in a hurry.
"If that's the case, then let's walk slowly."
Qin Chulai said sincerely: "Thank you very much."
This Taoist from Qingtian Dao passed by Song Yingxin without hesitation, and then disappeared on the gradually rising suspended roads.
There is a wind blowing in the world - the Taoist who has always walked quietly in the world like the world, when he left the Tiangong Division and walked on the long street under the dome of Sophora City, he directly turned into a Taoist The wind disappeared in Huaidu.
Song Yingxin stood there for a long time, frowning, looking solemnly at the direction the Taoist was leaving.
If we say that the Human Sword Sect is the backbone of stability in the southern cultivation world.
Then Qingtian Dao is the backbone of the stability of the Northern Dao Sect.
Even though Shanhe Guan and Que Sect have become famous in recent years, after all, the world is still more willing to look at such a former leader of the Taoist sect.
The head of the Tiangong Department is naturally very clear about the impact on the current situation in the world if Qingtian Dao is in chaos again.
After being silent for a long time, Song Yingxin summoned an official and said softly: "Go to Guanxing Yamen to sort out the things that Qin Zhenren has seen, and then compile and summarize the records of some changes in the human world related to them, and send them to Come to the office."
The official seemed a little shocked. He looked at Song Yingxin and asked hesitantly: "I wonder what the relevant ones mentioned by the Chief Secretary include?"
Song Yingxin was silent for a while and said softly: "Everything, everything, even among the deer roaring, which family cooked what dish on that day, whatever is available must be sent over."
The official nodded, then turned around and hurried away.
