Chapter Seventy-Two: The Immortal Monk Who Leads the River with a Sword
The boy had a small amount of food, was relatively thin, and was also very sensible, the old woman just reprimanded a few words, and then no longer paid attention to him playing with mud there, and looked at the girl sitting opposite with a smile, and said: "I don't listen to the girl's accent is not like our Jiang people, why did you come here alone, and I see that you are dressed like this, which family's daughter should be, but the nobleman's daughter is not as refreshing as the girl's dress, and she can't eat this coarse food, but it's strange." ”
The girl looked up at the old woman and said softly: "I am from Yan Kingdom, not a noble daughter, and I am just playing in Jiang Kingdom." ”
The old woman didn't know much about the affairs of the court, although she occasionally heard that there were often frictions on the border between Jiang and Yan, but she couldn't really understand it clearly, and said with some pity: "Yan is far away from here, and the girl must have suffered a lot of hardships." ”
The girl thought that she had suffered all the way, but she had never traveled so far, but she was full of novelty in her heart, not so much tired as more looking forward to it.
This girl from Yan Country appeared in the territory of Jiang Kingdom, of course, it was Xiao Zhinan in the sword house.
In the Wanli Plain, Ning Haoran and Beizangfeng have fought one after another, Xiao Zhinan began to travel in Jiang Country, of course she is not without purpose, the goal of the march is directly aimed at the capital, just looking forward to being able to see more scenery that Yan Country does not have on the way, if you are lucky enough to meet some demons in Jiang Country, you can also have a hearty fight.
If Xu Beihan of the Western Jin Dynasty is a sword idiot, in fact, Xiao Zhinan can also deserve this title, after all, they are all sword cultivators, and they all regard swords as their lives, but the difference is that Xu Beihan only has a sword in his eyes, but Xiao Zhinan has something else in his eyes besides the sword, which is also a little contrary to the true idiot.
The old woman looked at the good-looking girl who didn't seem to talk much, and then looked at the sword on her right hand, and said: "The old man has lived for most of his life, and when he was young, he saw some of the world, the world is very big, and there are no surprises, and good-looking girls may not be common in the poor countryside, but there are still many outside." ”
"It's funny to say, in the years of the flowering season, I also longed for those omnipotent immortal monks, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance with them. But I think even if there are many beautiful girls in the world, they are not as good as you in front of you, and only those immortals can look so good. ”
Xiao Zhinan was a little surprised, she didn't expect that an old woman in this small village would actually know about a cultivator, although the monk was more mysterious than ordinary people, but it was not unknowable, but what was even more strange for her was that the old woman could actually guess that she would be a cultivator.
If you don't speak, you are acquiescing.
The old woman knew that she couldn't help but recall the good old days when she didn't know the world but was full of curiosity, and when she got old, this kind of memory was just a memory, maybe occasionally she remembered, and her mood would still fluctuate a little, but there was no feeling she once had.
Therefore, even if there is a cultivator sitting in front of him at this moment, and he is still eating coarse tea and light rice with her, he can still maintain his calm and indifferent.
Xiao Zhinan ate silently, and after swallowing the last small piece of nest head in her hand, she wiped her mouth, looked at the old woman, and said, "Since my mother-in-law once longed for the cultivation world, she should also know something, are there any cultivators near this village?"
The old woman didn't expect Xiao Zhinan to ask this question, she thought about it very seriously, and said: "I did hear a strange thing a few days ago, if you think about it carefully, it should be related to cultivators, in this small village, no one's mind is closer to the world of immortals than me." ”
Xiao Zhinan was sitting precariously.
The old woman smiled slightly, and said: "There is a village next to it, there is a Jianghu warlock, it seems that there are some means of cultivation, although I was young and I was not able to enter that world, but I also probably know that in addition to the real immortal monks, there are indeed some people in the rivers and lakes with extraordinary means, those are all eliminated by the cultivation world, but for ordinary people, they are very powerful, and naturally there will be some ignorant people who respect them." ”
"It is said that the village was a mess by the charlatan, and I wanted to tell the truth, but they didn't believe me, and I was too old to go back and forth between the two villages, and after a long time, I didn't want to pay attention to it. ”
Xiao Zhinan knew very well that the Jianghu warlocks that the old woman said were similar to arithmetic masters and some painters who had entered the visualization, but could not withstand the baptism of Amaterasu, that was just a stranger sandwiched between monks and ordinary people, and could not be compared with real cultivators, and even if it was about the ability to fight, the Jianghu martial artists above the ninth rank could easily kill these strangers.
She was a little disappointed by this, but the old woman's words were not finished.
The old woman didn't notice the change in Xiao Zhinan's expression, but continued to herself: "But a few days ago, a strange thing happened in that village, it seems that a young man passed through that village, and then the Guanyu built by the villagers for the Jianghu Warlock collapsed very strangely, and the villagers who blindly admired the Jianghu Warlock naturally panicked. ”
And the Jianghu Warlock also encouraged the villagers to wind direction, saying that the young man had destroyed the Guanyu and broken the village's feng shui, and there would be a great calamity, and the villagers did not have the slightest doubt about the words of the Jianghu Warlock, and actually wanted to burn the young man to death. ”
Speaking of which, the old woman was a little indignant, more helpless, there are many ignorant people, after all, because they can't explore the more mysterious world, they demonize some natural disasters or the images caused by monks, and there are also mountain temples, city god temples and many other imaginary immortals and even sneaky and other ignorant weathering.
Although there is no shortage of people in the world who are aware of the existence of practitioners like the old woman, and even in many places such people occupy the majority, it is impossible to understand that in relatively remote places, there are still far more people who believe in ghosts and gods than those who really have a clear understanding.
The old woman digested the emotions in her heart, and her cloudy eyes gradually flickered, and said: "But then things took a turn again, and a sword appeared out of thin air in the young man's hand, but with such a slight wave, the ground was split, and there was no bottom, and the warlock screamed miserably, and fell into the gap, afraid that there were no bones." ”
Then the unknown young man pointed to the river outside the village, and the water was poured into the ravines that split the ground, and in a short time, it became a large rushing river, which was connected to the river outside the village. Such a miraculous thing can only be done by a true immortal monk...... Ahem, ahem!"
Later, the old woman could not hide her excitement and coughed violently.
Xiao Zhinan hurriedly got up, came behind the old woman, patted her hunched back, and the slightest aura entered the old woman's body, allowing it to slowly return to stability.
The physique of ordinary people cannot withstand the power of aura, let alone an old man, but Xiao Zhinan's mastery of the aura of heaven and earth has already reached an unimaginable level, and it is very simple to stabilize the emotions of the old woman.
But this is not something that ordinary cultivators can do, even monks who have entered the Four Realms can't do it so subtlely.
The boy who was playing with the mud didn't seem to know what was going on, and looked back at this scene with curiosity on his face, but he quickly ran back, wiped his little hand on his body a few times, took the old woman's hand, and stood beside him ignorantly.
Xiao Zhinan thought that although the old woman seemed to be no longer concerned about the cultivators she once longed for, in fact, deep down she still had an inexplicable root knot for the cultivators, otherwise she would not have become so excited.
But Xiao Zhinan also showed a trace of interest in the young man that the old woman talked about, according to the old woman's description, the means used by the young man must be done by the great monks above the four realms. And since he is a young man, he naturally means that he is very young, and the young Great Monk of the Four Realms is exactly what Xiao Zhinan is looking forward to meeting.
......
The early morning mist shrouds the small villages nearby, as if you are in a dreamland.
Xiao Zhinan stayed at the old woman's house for one night, and left early in the morning to leave and go to another small village a few miles away.
There are several villages not far from each other, and they often move around each other, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery, it is naturally rare to see it in the Yan country where the environment is relatively embarrassing.
Along the mountain road, according to the direction told by the old woman, Xiao Zhinan looked at the beautiful early morning scenery, and about half an hour saw a big river, the flow of the river itself was traceable, but a tributary was separated from it, and it was inserted in the middle of the village, but it stopped before reaching the boundary of the village.
Xiao Zhinan looked at the river silently.
The young man drew his sword a few days ago, but the new tributary was still full of cold sword intent, but this sword intent did not affect ordinary people, otherwise the villagers close to this tributary would have suffered heavy casualties in just a few days.
Xiao Zhinan quietly sensed the sword intent that was about to dissipate.
She sensed an inexplicable familiarity.
It seems that at some point there was once contact with such a sword intent.
She walked along the bank of the tributary and muttered, "It's not the sword of the Western Jin Dynasty, it's not the sword of the Yan Kingdom, it should be the sword of the Jiang Kingdom, in addition to the academy in the territory of the Jiang Kingdom, there is only that palace." ”
She suddenly came to her senses.
No wonder she felt that this sword intent was very familiar, she had really come into contact with it.
It's just that I don't know how many young monks in that mountain gate are the young monks who drew their swords and led the river?
In addition to the sword mountain in the Western Jin Dynasty, there are only Beiyan Sword Lu and Jiang Guo Sword Academy in the world, Xiao Zhinan thought that he was not bad, and the people in the Sword Academy should not be too bad.
Looking at the smooth river in front of him, Xiao Zhinan had an impulse in his heart.
I thought that if I didn't draw my sword, I would be in a bad mood for the next few days.
He drew his sword very seriously, swung it, and returned it to its sheath.
The calm surface of the river was instantly turbulent, reaching a height of dozens of zhang, and a new tributary appeared, stretching for many miles.
