Nandao sharpened his sword all night.

It wasn't until early in the morning that he left in the constant sound of insects and birds in the hanging courtyard.

Then I slept until the afternoon.

After getting up, I subconsciously rushed to Jingsi Lake.

When I walked up the stairs, I remembered that Qiu Xi'er had returned to the Grinding Sword Cliff.

Standing there with an umbrella for a long time, Nandao didn't know what to do for a while.

Walked downstairs and chatted with Chen He for a while, talking about the same thing as last night, there were students reading books on the side, listening to the two of them constantly chatting about how to find out the rules of the route, how to follow and tailgating, how to kill with a knife, and looked at the two of them very strangely, thinking that they were mostly crazy, so they went to the second floor with the book.

In public, conspire loudly.

Nandao felt that if he remembered correctly, Hua Wuxi should be a student of Qingniuyuan.

But I don't know if he lives in the courtyard or in Nanyi City.

So Nandao picked up a bun from Chen He, nibbled on it, and walked to the student dormitory of Qingniuyuan.

The dormitories of the three faculties are co-located.

In the northwest side of the Hanging Temple, I came to the South Island several times when I was sweeping the floor before, but I never went in.

The dormitory is a row of two-story small buildings, the upper floor can be used for reading and practice, and the downstairs is used for sleeping, and generally four or five people live on the first floor.

Nandao walked over with an umbrella, walked along the path full of fallen leaves and no one swept it, and looked at the buildings one by one, most of them were the residences of Wenhuayuan, and the Qingniuyuan was a little behind. It is said that it is because the Qingniu-in Temple and the Witch-Oni-in Temple can practice, and they run a little faster, and they are less likely to be late.

Very simple and practical considerations.

Nandao thought as he walked outside the small residential buildings of the Green Cow Temple.

A few students were practicing under the tree next to the path, and they were awakened by the movement of Nandao walking, looking at this concierge with an umbrella, they were still a little impressed, and asked very kindly: "Hey, it's you, what are you going to do?" ”

Nandao was ashamed of this friendliness, feeling that people like him were really heinous, but he still lied to them.

"I'll take a look at the hygiene in the house, after all, if it's too messy, it's not good for my husband to see it."

The students looked around and found that they were all debris and fallen leaves, nodded and said, "Yes, indeed." ”

Nandao pointed inside and said, "I'll go inside and see how it goes." ”

"Okay."

The students did not suspect Nandao, and stood up as if looking for something.

Nandao successfully penetrated into the enemy's interior.

The names of the students are generally written on the small wooden sign outside the building, and Nandao turned around for a long time, but I didn't see Hua Wuxi's name, so I think I should be living outside the city.

When he went out, Nandao was stunned to see that the students had found brooms and were sweeping the fallen leaves on the road.

Shame on the South Island.

When I walked over, I had to help a few people sweep the floor.

The students politely refused.

"You don't need to help, Mr. Mei hasn't been in charge of this before, it's all left to us to deal with ourselves."

Nandao had no choice but to give up, watching a few people diligently sweeping the ground, and asked curiously, "Aren't you from Qingniuyuan?" Do you still want to sweep the floor? ”

The students were very ashamed and said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I've been admitted to the hospital for a year, and I haven't entered the Tao yet, and I'm still playing hide and seek with a sense of harmony." ”

“......”

Nandao was silent for a moment and said, "Come on." ”

Then he hurried away.

After leaving the students' dormitory, Nandao went to the preaching flat of the Qingniu Academy.

Because of yesterday's All Souls' Day, so many gentlemen have classes today, in the past, there will always be some vacant preaching floors and even all full, I heard that there are several gentlemen who went to the few witch and ghost houses to borrow a place to preach, and I don't know if there will be a fight, after all, witch and ghost cultivators, it seems that the relationship has never been very good.

Nandao looked at the pulpit from pulpit to the floor, and the gentlemen were very excited today.

Maybe it's because I saw the rituals and baptisms and the sword washing yesterday.

I'm talking to the students.

Zhang Xiaoyu is a special case.

He was bragging to the students about how much money he had won by playing cards with Lingnan Sword Cultivation last night.

He spoke, and then an IOU flew out of his sleeve.

Some students have sharp eyes, pick them up and read - today, Zhang Xiaoyu borrowed 500 wen and repaid it another day.

Zhang Xiaoyu snatched it with a red face.

The students below burst into laughter.

Only Li Die sat at the end, staring blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Nandao watched for a while, then left.

I watched the entire preaching floor of the Qingniu Courtyard, and even went to the Witch Ghost Courtyard to look at it for a while, but I didn't see Hua Wuxi's figure.

Disappointed, Nandao walked back to the library.

Chen He gave him an idea and asked him to ask the gentleman in the hospital.

Nandao looked at Chen He in a daze and said, "This is not good. ”

After all, what you're going to do isn't a good thing.

Chen He just smiled and said, "Why don't I ask you?" ”

Nandao tilted his head to look at Chen He and said, "How do I feel that you are more attentive than me?" ”

Chen He shrugged his shoulders and said, "No way, after all, I still recognize you as a friend." ”

Nandao thought for a while and said, "Forget it, you just guard the library well, I don't know what will happen later, it's better to involve less people." ”

Nandao didn't give Chen He a chance to continue talking, turned around and walked out of the library.

He certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to ask such a thing.

Instead, I went to Meditation Lake.

Holding the sword, he sat silently by the lake.

Today, there are many students in Jingsi Lake, either sitting on the side of the path with a scroll, or sitting on the shore of the lake to feel the vitality of heaven and earth.

There are more people.

Nandao felt lonely.

So he took the sword, walked to a secluded corner, and began to practice the sword.

However, without Qiu Xi'er in Jingsi Lake, it always seems that something is missing.

Nandao practiced for a while, then stopped, looked at the nine magnolias on the sword, sighed and sat down.

"You can also use a sword?"

Someone sat down next to him, and Nandao turned his head to look, but it was Hang Yue from the Academy of Mathematics and Physics.

The latter sat next to him with a book in his arms and looked at Nandao in amazement.

"Hmm." Nandao nodded, not saying anything more.

The girl Hang Yue didn't care about Nandao's tone, and said with a smile to herself: "Although I saw that you always had a sword on your waist before, it looked too ugly, and I didn't think you really would." ”

Hearing this, Nandao looked down at the sword on his knees and said that ugly is indeed ugly.

But after last night's sword washing, it looks a little better, especially the blue and black color, which makes people feel very unusual at a glance.

Of course, ugly is still ugly.

Even if Nandao sharpened all night, the sword was not very sharp.

If you don't use sword intent or heaven and earth vitality attached to it, it is estimated that it will be difficult to cut the head of the fish.

Nandao raised his head, looked at the lake and said, "Actually, I haven't studied for a few days. ”

"Self-taught? But I see that you are so fast at the sword, faster than some of the seniors of the sword school in the academy. I heard that the big gentleman of the sword school is a person who loves to play cards, maybe that's why they don't learn well. ”

Nandao felt that Zhang Xiaoyu must have been wronged, after all, he had only been in the Hanging Courtyard for a long time.

And he's Mr. Two.

However, Nandao did not correct her mistakes.

"Maybe I'm more talented." Nandao said with a smile.

"Why is it rejected if you have good talent?" Hang Yue asked sincerely.

Nandao was silent, and got up to leave.

"The ......"

The girl Hang Yue stopped Nandao from behind.

Nandao looked back at her, but saw that she hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, you can go, haha." ”

Nandao stood for a moment, making sure she really didn't want to say anything, and left.

Yun Hu didn't know that in the corridor, there were a few books beside him, his mouth was full of ink, and he was still holding a brush in his hand, thinking about something.

The South Island was a little surprised when it passed by.

He didn't expect Yun Hu to come here without knowing it.

But think about it, it's really quiet, and although there are a lot of students, they don't make any noise.

Leaned over and took a look.

"On the Connection Between Demons and Cultivation".

There is only one title and a few lines of words.

Nandao asked with some curiosity, "What is a demon?" ”

Yun Hu was startled by Nandao's sudden voice, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground, and Nandao helped him pick it up.

"I'm sorry, I was too distracted to see you coming."

Yun Hu didn't know how to take the pen and said with a smile.

Nandao was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he reacted, and said, "It should be me who apologizes to my husband." ”

Yun Hu didn't know what to do with the pen and said casually: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Then he picked up the piece of paper and said: "Turning into a demon means that a person becomes a demon, although it is recognized in the world today that the human race is a multiplying spirit, and the demon race is a living being, but in fact, many demon races have offspring, and they have also become multiplying spirits. As for this. Yun Hu didn't know how to point to the title, smiled and said, "Actually, it's some of my conjectures, because in today's world, although the Great Dao is cultivated, even a character like Li Er, the sage of Hangu Guan, has not been able to exceed the limit of a hundred years in the world, but the demon clan can." I was thinking, there always seems to be something missing in the way of cultivation. ”

"What's missing?"

"Life extension."

Yun Hu said slowly.

"Although Dao Saint Li Queyi once said that if there is life, there must be death, but after all, that was a thousand years ago."

"Sir, do you think Dao Sheng is wrong?"

It's not that he's wrong, but that the era in which he lives has the limitations of the concept of life and death. When the demon clan appeared on a large scale, he was not dead, and after he died, he didn't know that even the most ordinary demon clan could live for several centuries. Yes, at that time, the Great Dao had only been in existence for a thousand years, how could they have thought that people could live for more than a hundred years? ”

Yun Hu didn't know how to say softly: "If the cultivation path can integrate the demon into it. Then when the world asks you why you are cultivating, you can tell him. ”

"For immortality."

"Imagine that many years later, thousands of avenues will be immortalized together, what a wonderful scene this is!"

Nandao was deeply shocked by Yun Hu Zhizhi's painting, and after thinking for a long time, he looked at Yun Hu Zhizhi and asked, "Mr. already knows how to do it?" ”

Yun Hu was stunned for a moment, looked down at the page where the title had just been written, and said curtly, "No." ”

"But didn't the Sect Master of the Blades live for a thousand years?" Nandao suddenly remembered something, looked at Yun Hu and asked.

"They enter the avenue first, and then turn into demons." Yun Hu didn't know how to say, "This is a special case that does not have universality, think about it, how many people can see the Great Dao in the world?" ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

Yun Hu clenched his fists without knowing it.

"Immortality must start from entering the Dao."

Nandao was silent, feeling that Yun Hu didn't know how great and spectacular he thought.

But he couldn't read it.

was about to leave, but Nandao suddenly remembered something.

Yun Hu doesn't know if he is the big gentleman of the Taoist School of Qingniu Academy?

"Has someone dropped out of Qingniu Academy?" Nan Dao thought that he didn't see Hua Wuxi's figure after searching for it today, so he asked sideways.

Yun Hu didn't know how to raise his head, thought about it, and said, "It seems that there is, let's call Hua Wuxi." ”

"Oh." Nandao walked out nonchalantly, as if he had just asked casually.

Yun Hu didn't know it, but he looked at Nandao's back for a long time.

He always felt as if something wasn't right, but he couldn't remember.

So he didn't think about it anymore, and lowered his head and continued to flip through the books that were placed beside him.
