Out of the inn door, the sky is dark, there is a carriage waiting at the door, Nan Dao thought that this was waiting for others here, and he was going to go around, but he saw Yun Hu and got into the carriage directly, and then sat inside and beckoned to Nan Dao. Nandao realized that this was what he didn't know.

Slightly embarrassed to get into the carriage, Nandao sat opposite Yunhu Zhizhi. The latter put the bookcase aside, then folded his hands in front of him, and seemed to rest with his eyes closed.

Nandao thought so at first, but when he saw the fine sweat on Yun Hu's forehead and the slightly trembling fingers on his legs, he realized that he was not resting, but nervous.

Nan Dao thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Yunhu, are you nervous?" ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to open his eyes, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Yes, after all, it's the first time to ........"

Nandao leaned on the carriage and said: "It's also my first time, I used to be only in a small town outside Nanyi City, and I only came to Nanyi City yesterday, and I went to the Human Sword Sect with a shy face." ”

Yun Hu looked at Nan Dao with some surprise and said, "What are you doing in the Sword Sect?" ”

Nan Dao was suddenly a little silent, pretending to smile lightly, and said: "I went to see the Sword Sect Master, it is the Cong Blade who is said to be one of the three swords in the world, well, because of some private matters." ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to be in awe, looked at Nandao and said: "It turns out that you are a sword cultivator, seeing that you are so young, you must also be a generation of Tianjiao, and you can also take care of each other in the Hanging Courtyard in the future." ”

Nandao said in his heart that I still don't know what the Hanging Courtyard is for, but I still arched my hand to Yun Hu and said, "Where is it." ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to return the salute, but sighed again and said: "I don't know what Nanyi City thinks, Huai'an has a lot of Taoist cultivators, but they want to invite me to teach "Five Thousand Words of the Green Ox", and I always feel a little noisy." ”

“？” Nandao sat up upright, looked at Yun Hu and asked cautiously, "Are you the gentleman from the Hanging Courtyard?" ”

Yun Hu looked at Nandao in confusion and asked, "Aren't you?" ”

“......”

Only then did the two realize that they had misunderstood.

Nan Dao sat upright, scratched his head and said, "No wonder I said that there will be cars and horses to pick up students in the spring." ”

Yun Hu couldn't help but laugh and said, "I thought you were invited to teach kendo by the Hanging Courtyard at such a young age. ”

Nandao smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't even touched a sword." ”

"Hahaha."

Nandao lifted the curtain and looked at the bustling street scene outside the window, and then asked Yun Hu if he didn't know that question.

"By the way, Yunhu Da... Sir, what does Hangshuin do? ”

Yun Hu looked at Nandao in surprise and said, "You don't know? ”

Nandao shook his head and said, "Yes...."Nandao originally wanted to say that Cong Blade's predecessor asked him to go, but remembered what Cong Blade said yesterday not to call him senior, and didn't want to get involved in cause and effect, so he changed his words again and said, "Someone said that it might be able to answer my question." ”

Yun Hu looked Nandao up and down, his eyes stopped for a long time on his black umbrella that was not put away in the carriage, and he muttered for a long time, and said: "The Hanging Courtyard is actually simple, it is a academy, but because it has connections with the major cultivation places in the world, for example, when Cong Blade was a senior, he was invited to serve as a ten-year gentleman in the General Courtyard of the Hanging Courtyard, and the Hanging Courtyard can also be called a place of cultivation. It is almost the same status as the Witch Ghost Cult. ”

Yun Hu didn't know what to say, paused, looked at Nandao and listened carefully, and continued: "As for what you said, I don't know if you answered your questions, but this Hanging Courtyard in Nanyi City is the place with the most classics in all the Hanging Courtyards except for the Huangliang General Courtyard, if you have any questions, you might as well go to the library to have a look." ”

Nandao bowed to Yun Hu Zhi gratefully and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

The carriage drove for a while, then stopped.

Nandao walked down with Yunhu Zhizhi, this is a secluded long street in the south of the city, there are only some houses on both sides, not far away is a torii, on which the word 'Nanjingfang' is written in a big book, the carriage stops on the side of the street, and in front of it is a small wooden bridge, because of the age, the planks have become dark brown, which may also be the reason why the carriage no longer passes.

It was still early, and it was raining lightly, and it was hazy.

Yun Hu didn't know how to get out of the car, and walked under the umbrella with Nandao, and a man in his fifties wearing cloth clothes came from the side of the small bridge, ran over with an umbrella and stopped in front of the two, looking at Yun Hu and bending over very politely: "Why did Mr. come so early?" ”

Yun Hu raised his hand and saluted, smiled and said, "The first time I came to Nanyi City, I am afraid that I will miss the time, so it is better to come early." ”

The man nodded and said yes, yes, then turned his head to look at Nandao on the side, and asked with some hesitation, "Who is this?" ”

"He was a student he met on the road who came to participate in the spring recruitment, and he thought about the same road, so he simply brought it, so he didn't cause trouble, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay." The man smiled, welcomed Yun Hu Zhi under the umbrella, and then looked at Nandao who was standing there and said, "The spring recruitment has only started, but since you are here, come with us first." ”

Nandao learned from Yun Hu and raised his hand to salute, and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

The man in cloth held an umbrella for Yun Hu Zhizhi, and while walking, he said self-deprecatingly: "Where am I a gentleman, but I am just a gatekeeper in the Hanging Courtyard." ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to say softly: "It's better to be immersed in the courtyard for a long time than the gentleman outside." ”

The man in cloth smiled and said, "Mr. Yunhu, where is this?" ”

......

Nandao followed the two across the small wooden bridge, and the water under the bridge was still clear, not like a tributary of the Nanyi River.

After crossing the bridge and walking along the long street to the end, and then turning a corner, Nandao saw a gate, on both sides of the gate were two lush old trees, the courtyard wall was very high, it was a blue wall, and it was covered with many green vines, some withered, some of which were just beginning to regenerate.

The doors were open, and the two doors were open inward, and the gap between the stone bricks and the doors was already covered with moss.

It's a door that hasn't been closed in years.

Directly opposite the door is a green bamboo forest, in the middle of the bamboo forest there is a glowing bluestone path, winding into the depths, I don't know what is behind.

Behind the door was a small brown room, probably where the man lived, with a brazier in the middle of it, and a chaise longue next to the brazier, and a stove on the chair for hugging.

The man welcomed Yun Hu Zhizhi into the door, stuffed the umbrella in his hand into Yun Hu Zhizhi's hand, and then trotted into the room, took out the stove, handed it to Yun Hu Zhizhi, and said politely: "The weather is a little cold, this is for Mr., other gentlemen are already waiting inside, you go slowly." ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to thank the man, then turned to Nandao and nodded with a smile, and walked along the path facing the door with an umbrella.

Nan Dao stood at the door, a little unsure of what to do, and after the man watched Yun Hu leave, he looked at Nan Dao and said kindly: "The gentlemen inside are still preparing for the spring recruitment, you can walk around, or you can come to the room to make a fire." ”

Nan Dao arched his hand and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

The man patted Nandao's shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't need to call me sir, my name is Li Taimei, just call me Uncle Li." ”

Nan Dao nodded and said very sincerely, "Okay, Mr. Ji." ”

The man nodded in satisfaction, then walked into the room and lay in the room for a while before he reacted.

Is this kid called the wrong one?

When he looked out the door again, Nandao had already walked far along the courtyard wall, so he had to give up.

Nandao walked curiously along the courtyard wall, the road facing the gate was obviously the place where the gentlemen were, Nandao decided not to go there, on the right side of the gatehouse was a moon gate in the middle of the white wall, on either side of the door stood two weeping willow-shaped garden lamps, and through the door there was another courtyard. On the left, a cobblestone path stretches under the courtyard wall, and many wickers hang down on both sides, which looks very quiet, so Nandao walks to the left.

After walking along the trail for a while, a forest full of white magnolias appeared in front of me, and the paths in the forest were staggered, leading to the depths.

After walking along the forest path for a while, the entrance to a cloister appeared in front of me. The corridor was quiet, full of white flowers, Nandao walked to the front of the steps, wanted to step on it directly, looked at his feet, looked around, rubbed the mud on the forest grass, and then walked up to the corridor.

Nanjima held an umbrella and walked in the corridor while looking around, and then suddenly stopped.

At the corner of the corridor in front of her, there was a woman in a white dress sitting on the edge of the corridor, holding a book in her hand and reading quietly.

Nandao didn't expect to see a single figure along the way, but he suddenly met a student or a gentleman in the Hanging Courtyard here-after suffering a loss that Yunhu didn't know, Nandao is very cautious now.

After thinking about it, it was better not to go over and disturb him, so Nandao turned around cautiously, and planned to return the way he came.

"What are you leaving?"

The woman's cold voice suddenly sounded in the porch.

"Uh." Nandao turned around, and the woman in the white dress was still sitting there, looking at the book in her hand without raising her head, which made Nandao think that she had misheard.

"Today is the day of spring recruitment in the hospital? I don't quite remember. The woman asked without looking up at the book.

Nandao scratched his head and said, "It should be." ”

"You're here to study? Or is it the gentleman who was invited from Huangliang? ”

"I'm here to study."

"What do you want to learn?"

The woman asked, looking up at Nandao.

The moment she looked up, Nandao stood there as if she had been hit in the heart by something.

The magnolia flowers in the forest seem to be blooming just right.

The Austronesian ghost said, "I will learn whatever my husband teaches." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Nandao realized that he had said the wrong thing, and stood there holding an umbrella uneasily.

The woman in the white dress didn't have the slightest emotion, just put away the scroll in her hand, and sat there calmly looking at Nandao, Nandao glanced at it, and the title of the book was a little strange - "On the Difference between the Inner Characteristics of Cultivation and Witches", signed by Yunhu I don't know.

Then the cold voice rang in Nandao's ears.

"You can't learn what I teach."

After saying this, the woman in the white dress got up and walked towards the depths of the corridor.

Nan Dao stood in place, looked at her back, and asked softly, "What does Mr. teach?" ”

"Sword."

Nandao stood in place and whispered, "Then I'll learn the sword." ”

The spring rain seems to be a little heavier.

The chill is even heavier.

The South Island looks at the sky through the edge of the umbrella.

Inexplicably, it seems to be afraid of something.
