Nandao hesitated for a long time, and finally pushed the door open.

The corridor that had been seen once reappeared.

The traces of the dust I wiped the last time I walked by are still there.

Nandao glanced back.

There was no door behind him.

There is an extra bluestone tablet on the back.

There is a line of words on the stele.

There is no regret in this trip.

It's scribbled, like someone who got drunk and wrote it casually,

Nandao raised his hand and touched it, but there was no response, not like a mechanism.

He also tried to convey the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in his body.

Still unresponsive, as if it were just a stone.

Nandao didn't bother with the stone monument anymore, and walked along the promenade towards the front. I walked to the same door again.

Push open the door.

It's Cloud Cliff.

A piece of spring is full of joy, and the breeze blows the flowers and leaves.

Nandao walked along the path to the edge of the cliff, where the broken monument he had dug out last time was still there.

The blood has dried up.

The big lake on the edge of the cliff was still calm, and Nandao looked down and saw the peach tree holding an umbrella.

Nandao saw it this time, but it was much calmer.

Sitting by the lake and watching it, I thought about it for a long time.

This may be what Cong Jian said at the beginning - return the peach blossom cause and effect.

I'm not me.

It is a peach tree.

Nandao sighed secretly.

He looked at the peach tree carefully for a long time.

Many places have already bloomed.

If you compare the human body, you can see that the peach blossoms have not yet been born, only the heart and eyebrows.

There are also buds in both places, and it seems that they will bloom at any moment.

Nandao watched quietly, and suddenly felt extremely frightened.

What does it mean when peach blossoms bloom in those two places?

Nandao only felt a chill all over his body, pulled out his sword from his waist, took off his shirt, and aimed it at his heart.

He wanted to see if there really was a bud there.

When the cold blade touched the skin of his heart, Nandao still stopped.

Because in front of him, on the flat lake leading to the boundless sea of clouds, a bluestone path suddenly appeared that submerged into the sea of clouds.

It's like a rock out of nowhere.

Nandao squatted down to take a look, and found that the lake had indeed receded a lot.

Nandao stood on the edge of the cliff with a sword, looked at the path, hesitated for a long time, looked back at the cliff with nowhere to go, and stepped on it with his legs.

The trail was very short, and after walking for a short time, a piece of land appeared in front of me.

The moment Nandao stepped onto land, the sea of clouds in front of him dispersed.

What appeared in front of me was a small town under the green hills.

He stood on the path at the entrance of the town.

There is also a stone tablet on the side of the path, and the word on the tablet is the same as the one on the cliff.

is also missing the word between knotted hair and immortality.

The difference is that the upper end of this stele is intact, with five large flowing characters.

Don't dare to speak loudly.

Suddenly, there were voices in the town.

Nandao looked up and saw that the town was still lonely and quiet, and in the blink of an eye, it was full of people coming and going, so it was not lively.

Nandao looked at a woman carrying a basket of vegetables walking towards the outside of the town, and was about to step forward to ask, but the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

It's a listening platform.

The wind and rain on the stage do not stop, and you can see the Nanyi City in the spring rain.

Nandao breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging in the air finally let go.

It's just that I don't understand what kind of place is there and how did I get in?

Is this the reason why Cong Blade signaled himself to come to the Hanging Courtyard?

Nandao sat on the spring rain platform and thought about it for a long time, but still had no clue.

Walk downstairs, there are a few more students on the second floor, read there together, Nandao took a look, no acquaintance, and went down, there are a few more girls at the card table on the first floor, but they don't play cards, but sit there and read. Chen He seemed to have woken up, stood up in a daze, and walked out the door.

Nandao didn't know what he was going to do, so he followed, and then saw him walk to a remote bamboo forest and unbuckle his belt.

"......" Nandao was silent and returned to the library.

Not long after, Chen He came back, looked at Nandao sitting at the counter, and came over.

"When did Brother Nan come?"

"......" Nandao was silent again.

Chen He lay on his stomach for a while, patted his head, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm dazed, haha." ”

Nandao smiled helplessly: "It's okay, sleeping well is the most important thing." ”

Chen He nodded approvingly and said, "That's true." As he spoke, he turned back to look at the card table over there, and when he saw the girls, Chen He suddenly lay on the counter with a bitter face.

"I won't fight tonight."

Nandao looked over there, and was also a little surprised, it turned out that how many of them were there who played cards there all night last night?

Chen He lay on his stomach for a while, looked up at Nandao and said, "Do you have a place to sleep there?" ”

Nan Dao was silent for a while and said, "There is only one bed." ”

"It's okay, just have a place to sleep. I'll bring you a quilt tonight. ”

Nandao thought for a while and said, "Then let's sleep in a different place at night?" ”

"That's not good." Chen He said as he prepared to go upstairs to get the quilt.

Nandao shook his head and walked out.

I always feel that maybe I really can't meet normal people.

When I went to the pulpit, Zhang Xiaoyu and Mr. Xie were there, and Nandao didn't bother, and left after listening for a while.

Walking through the apricot blossom trail to Jingsi Lake, the rain has stopped.

It's still very early, so there's no Qiu Xi'er in sight in the South Island.

After squatting by the lake and washing his face, Nandao drew his sword and began to practice wearing flowers.

After what happened last night, Nandao is now much more serious than before, and Qiu Xi'er is not here, and there is no one who makes him think about it, but Nandao's flower dressing practice is particularly smooth.

A sword stabbed out, and Nandao withdrew his sword, and on it were nine magnolia flowers.

In Qiu Xi'er's words, nine flowers at a time is far from the entry standard, but for Nandao, this is already a great progress, this is not an occasional nine, but a stable nine.

Nandao looked at the nine white flowers on the sword with satisfaction, and then flicked them all to the ground with a backhand.

There was already a field of broken flowers under his feet.

Nan Dao looked at this mess, and wanted to go back and get a broom to sweep it, but it was too far away, and after thinking about it, Nan Dao tried to attract the vitality in his body, and the vitality vortex in the Shenhai began to reverse, and then drove the vitality around his body, forming a not small wind.

It's just a pity that the flowers are wet and stuck to the ground and can't be blown into the forest.

Nandao accelerated the speed of some heaven and earth vitality, the wind was stronger, and a small eye of wind was formed around Nandao's body, Nandao pondered for a while, raised his hand and gathered a smaller cyclone in his hand, and then the smaller cyclone pulled the eye of the wind around his body, and rotated wildly in his hand.

The falling flowers were finally swept by the wind, mixed with the falling from the sky, and fell into the whirlpool.

Nandao looked at this scene in amazement, but suddenly found that Qiu Xi'er had come at some point, standing not far away with the scroll in his hand, quietly looking here.

Nandao recovered the vitality of heaven and earth, and the scattered flowers fell from the sky.

"Sir."

Nandao looked at Qiu Xi'er very apprehensively.

I thought Qiu Xi'er would blame him for not practicing his sword well, but he didn't.

Qiu Xi'er walked over calmly, walking through the falling flowers towards the corridor.

"It's beautiful."

Nan Dao followed behind Qiu Xi'er, "I thought my husband would say that I didn't do my job. ”

"Now that you have seen the mountain, you naturally have to start learning to use it, if you don't use it, then you are not doing your job."

Qiu Xi'er stopped there, looked back at the falling flowers there, and said, "If you can resist the wind, you can resist the sword." If you're proficient, you might as well give it a try. ”

Nandao looked at the sword in his hand and said, "I thought that Edgeworth was meant to communicate with the sword's mind. ”

Qiu Xi'er said calmly: "It's just the use of heaven and earth vitality. The so-called Edgeworth, you can understand that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi has become your hand outside your body. Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is strong enough, and your sword is fast enough and far enough. ”

"How far can Sir's sword go?"

"Thousands of miles."

Nandao stood still, stunned to think about how far away a thousand miles were.

But he suddenly remembered the question he had asked Zhang Xiaoyu at the beginning, looked at Qiu Xi'er and asked, "What kind of realm is Mr. from?" ”

"Cliff Master."

Nandao was stunned for a moment, thinking about the comparison of the human realm, looked at Qiu Xi'er and asked in shock, "Mr. has entered the avenue?" ”

Qiu Xi'er said lightly: "No." ”

"Why?"

"The realm of cultivation and the realm of sword intent only complement each other, it doesn't mean that they have to be the same realm." Qiu Xi'er walked to the corridor, sat down, opened the book in his hand and said, "I am the main realm of the trail cliff, and Zhang Xiaoyu is the realm of the trail oblique bridge." ”

Nan Dao said thoughtfully: "It turns out that Senior Brother Zhang is not so powerful? ”

"Of course not." Qiu Xi'er also remembered the young man in white who had been playing cards all day long, and said slowly, "His small path realm is higher than mine. ”

"Who is stronger, Mr. or Senior Brother Zhang?"

When Qiu Xi'er heard this, she looked at the white flowers in the forest with some pride.

"He's going to call me Senior Sister."

If you can't win, you naturally have to call your senior sister.

Nandao suddenly remembered the Xiyun Guan Taoist Li Shi he met that day.

Who is stronger, he or Mr.

Of course, Nandao didn't really ask.

Sir is better than winning, in case it doesn't win.

The unlucky one is himself.

Nan Dao looked at Qiu Xi'er, who had already begun to lower his head to read the book, and was about to go back to continue practicing his sword, but suddenly remembered what happened last night.

"Does the gentleman know about the River Sect?"

Qiu Xi'er raised her head and frowned at Nandao.

"Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

"Someone from the River Sect wants to kill me."

"Where?"

"Last night, on the Nanyi River."

Qiu Xi'er turned her head to look at the north, and was silent for a long time.

Nan Dao looked at Qiu Xi'er and asked cautiously, "What is Mr. thinking?" ”

Qiu Xi'er turned her head and said slowly, "Why did they kill you?" ”

Nandao smiled bitterly and said, "If I knew, I wouldn't have come to ask Mr. ”

Qiu Xi'er looked at Nandao and said calmly, "The cultivation world is a place of reason. ”

"I don't understand what Mr. means."

Qiu Xi'er looked down at the scroll in her hand, and said in a cold voice: "Since you don't know the reason, it's unreasonable, unreasonable, then you can kill back." ”

Nan Dao stood by the lake and sighed and said, "But I can't beat him, and I was driven all the way." ”

"So you're going to have to harden your reasoning."

"For example?"

"For example, as soon as he jumped out, your sword was on his neck, and he will naturally reason with you."

The South Island was speechless for a long time.

"Grinding Sword Cliff has always been so reasonable?"

"This is how the cultivation world has always been reasonable."

Qiu Xi'er said slowly, but raised her head and looked at Nandao.

"So for many years, the Grinding Sword Cliff has been the most reasonable."

Nandao sighed, walked towards the magnolia forest, and said, "I also want to tell the truth that Mr. said, but I have only been practicing for a few days, and I can't explain it if I want to. ”

Qiu Xi'er looked at Nandao's back and said softly: "When you reach our realm, you will be the most reasonable person in the world." ”

Nandao held his sword and looked back at Qiu Xi'er.

"Sir thinks so highly of me?"

Qiu Xi'er nodded.

"Of course."

Nandao was overjoyed and went to practice the truth.
