Volume 1 The Man Under the Umbrella Chapter 90 Simon and the Cripple
The man who came with the knife knew the seriousness of the matter.
Therefore, he walked very quickly and hurriedly, if it weren't for the Human Sword Sect in Nanyi City, he might have disregarded the life and death of the world and came directly with the sword.
The knife was heavy, so both of them noticed it early.
Nan Dao turned his head, glanced at Lin Erliang, and said calmly: "The people on the twelfth floor still have a choice. ”
Lin Erliang was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Yes." ”
The two were silent for a moment, Nandao put away his sword, went to the outside of the courtyard, found a pear blossom in the outer courtyard, wiped the blood on the soles of his shoes, Lin Erliang flew up to the eaves, and glanced back at Nandao on the eaves.
"Then forget about each other."
Nandao didn't speak, just nodded.
The two went their separate ways.
Minamijima did not go in the direction of Kasumi-in, but went to the north of the city.
He was going to find Zhang Xiaoyu.
What happened in Hell had nothing to do with the South Island.
But Nandao didn't know if anyone had seen him leave from the south of the city, and as a person who had appeared at the scene, Nandao would naturally be quite suspicious.
At this point, it is a little suspicious to turn back.
Trouble has already been caused, and sighing is naturally useless.
Therefore, Nandao felt that he might have some problems in kendo and needed to go to Zhang Xiaoyu for advice.
Just like what he said when he killed the flower at the beginning, Nandao could neither turn into the wind nor resist the sword light, so he had to walk over honestly.
Fortunately, in the middle of the night, with only the occasional nocturnal walker, Nandao alertly hid in the dark corners of the alley.
walked all the way to the gate of the Sword Sect.
It's still late at night.
The little boy Hu Lu was holding a sword and sleeping there wrapped in a quilt.
The South Island is also a little tired.
After a fight with someone like Lin Erliang, it will naturally be very tiring.
The Dao Sea that had just begun to gather in the Divine Sea had gradually withered, revealing the dry and cracked earth around it, and even the buds on the Dao tree were gradually fading.
If the buds fade, the Dao tree will once again turn into one of those isolated islands suspended above the sky.
The South Island will return to the realm of knowing water.
Although the realm fall is not a big deal, it is not good after all.
So Nandao needed a good rest, so he sat down with his sword next to Hu Lu leaning against the pillar with his eyes closed, his body fell into a deep sleep, and Peach Blossom entered the sea of gods.
Due to the excessive use of heaven and earth vitality in the Divine Sea, those streams and rivers were revealed.
Peach Blossom stood by a dry river, looking far away, and seemed very silent.
When he was at the shore of Meditation Lake, what he thought was that he couldn't rush it.
Coupled with the self-examination on the side of the Heavenly Hell, it just gathered the Dao Sea and planted the Dao Tree.
Everything was exactly as the South Island had imagined at first.
The people of the Heavenly Hell were armed with locks and lost their ability to fight.
But no one thought that there was really a person on the twelfth floor inside.
It's also Lin Erliang of the Small Dao Realm.
Peach Blossom had no choice but to forcibly turn the book.
But these are secondary.
What Peach Blossom is most worried about now is whether the big lake that hides a dream will be shattered because of the drying up of the Divine Sea.
The peach blossoms on the face are no longer as bright as they used to be, and they look a little pale, just like the face of the South Island.
Peach Blossom glanced down at the puddle in the river and walked along the river.
All the way to the original big lake.
Peach Blossom saw from a distance that the lake was still there, and then she was relieved.
Although all the streams and rivers have dried up, and even the Daohai Sea in the distance can be seen at a glance, but the big lake is still there.
Even on the shore of the lake, many colorful flowers and plants grow, and the long blades of grass hang low into the lake, so that they grow into the dreamy colors of floating in the dream of a large lake.
Peach Blossom sat down by the lake, a small short peach-colored sword emerging from his chest, and looked down at the tiny space between the blade and the scabbard.
That dream may be going on for a while.
Naturally, it's a good thing for both.
It's also mixed with some bad things.
The small sword dispersed, and Peach Blossom took a few sword intents and looked at the open ancient scroll above the Shenhai Sky Dome above his head.
Then he flew towards the scroll.
The pages of the book were turning over there, and countless golden sermons were flashing on them, and the stars were shining towards the sky, as bright as a galaxy.
This scroll, which came from the place where the Great Dao of the World began, was quietly suspended in the sermon.
The higher Peach Blossom's figure looked, the more huge it became, until the book fell into his hand like a normal scroll.
Raising his hand to put away the golden light, Peach Blossom closed the scroll again, and all the supernatural disappeared.
The peach blossom sat down under the peach tree, and the streams and rivers that once seemed to stretch across the land of the Divine Sea were like small ravines drawn by the fallen branches and leaves of the peach tree.
There was a small puddle not far away, and there was a colorful bubble in the puddle, and there seemed to be a small boy in it.
A little farther away, there was a big puddle - it was about to dry up. There is a small tree trembling in the wind in the depression, which is the Dao Sea that I saw, and the Dao tree that has not yet become a Dao fruit.
If you look at it with the mind of entering the Tao and with the mind of a higher level, the size of what you see will naturally be very different.
Cultivating the Tao is like cultivating a circle.
The further back you go, the greater the unknown nature of the circle.
Therefore, many years ago, Buddhism was perfected, but if it is a circle, it cannot be full, just like the great road lacks one.
So in the end, even Amiji disappeared into the world.
When Nandao first entered the Tao, it is what Peach Blossom sees now.
It's just that if you forget it, you won't know what it means.
Yun Hu's inference is correct.
Someone helped him repair the aisle and pushed the door open.
That person was none other than that.
None other than himself.
Peach blossom sat under the peach tree, exhaling regularly.
Everything calmed down.
Waiting for the second day to come.
......
When Hulu woke up on the second day, he was startled to see Nandao sleeping on the side.
But if you are a disciple of the Sword Sect, you won't be able to jump.
Hu Lu slowed down, looked at his arms, and the master's square inch was still there, so he put his mind at ease and poked Nandao's leg with his sword, but he didn't expect to poke it right on the wound.
Nandao took a breath and woke up.
Hu Lu saw the painful look on Nandao's face, remembered how he limped and walked before, realized that something was wrong, hurriedly put the sword back into the quilt, pretended not to have stabbed it himself, and asked casually, "Why are you here?" ”
Nandao stared at Hu Lu for a long time, and the little boy just looked at Nandao without changing his face, so Nandao sighed, thought he was unlucky, retracted his feet a little, and said: "Yesterday, I suddenly remembered some questions about using swords, so I thought about coming to Senior Brother Zhang to see if he could answer it, but it was too late to come, so I didn't wake you up, and I thought about asking again today." ”
"Oh." Hu Lu seemed to believe it, but asked again, "When did you come?" ”
Nandao was silent for a moment and said, "The first half of yesterday night. ”
Hu Luxin said that you are a liar, I sat here with my senior brother in the first half of the night. But the reed did not pierce the South Island, just as the Austrand did not pierce itself.
Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future.
Hu Lu also started talking nonsense: "Then you should come a little earlier, I shouldn't have slept at that time, I should be able to open the door for you and go to find Senior Brother Zhang." ”
Nandao nodded and said, "Next time, definitely." ”
The two fell silent with some embarrassment.
Hu Lu wrapped his sword in the quilt, looked up at the sky where the morning mist had not dispersed, thought for a while, and said, "What questions do you have, maybe I can answer them?" ”
Nandao said casually, how do you know what the problem is?
But looking at the eager expression of the little boy Hu Lu, he still made up one.
"Should the big toe be curled or cocked when the sword is drawn?"
Hu Lu stared blankly at Nandao.
Although Nan Dao's question was very stupid, Hu Lu really never thought about this question, looked down at Fang Cun in his arms, Hu Lu thought about it, and threw Fang Cun into Nan Dao's arms.
Then he put on the quilt, ran to the gatehouse, put down the quilt, took off his sword and ran out, and began to draw his sword at the gate of the Sword Sect.
Nandao didn't think he would actually try it.
Hu Lu drew the sword for a while, but the more he pulled it, the more wrong it became, so that in the end, when the sword was drawn, the sword body and scabbard stumbled all the way.
Hulu won't draw his sword anymore.
It's like someone suddenly asks you a question, where do you usually put your tongue?
And then you feel uncomfortable with whatever you want.
It's like an extra tongue out of thin air.
The little boy Hulu was like this, and he was fooled and lame by Nandao's words.
When Nandao saw this scene, he felt refreshed.
The unhappiness of being rejected by this kid at the beginning is gone.
Next time, I won't rub mud at the door of the Sword Sect.
The little boy Hu Lu walked back aggrievedly and glanced at Nandao sadly.
Nandao held the sword, looked at the sky, and pretended that nothing was wrong.
Chen Huaifeng walked out with a cup of wolfberry tea, and when he saw Hulu's appearance, he was a little strange, and asked, "Why do you look like this?" ”
Hu Lu thought about it, so he also asked Chen Huaifeng this question.
Chen Huaifeng pondered for a while, took Hulu's sword, walked to the open space at the door, and after drawing the sword for a while, he walked back with the same suspicion.
The two sat on the steps, their cheeks in contemplation, looking at their feet and at the sword in front of them.
A few more young disciples came out of the Sword Sect.
It didn't take long for a group of people to sit in a row at the entrance of the Sword Sect.
Holding his cheeks, he looked ahead, as if waiting for the fruit to be divided.
The culprit, Nandao, had already quietly slipped into the Sword Sect.
Then he realized that he had forgotten to return the sword of Cong Blade to Hu Lu, and he originally wanted to go back again, but thinking of the sad and contemplative appearance of the disciples of the Sword Sect, Nan Dao felt that if they remembered that this question was raised by themselves, they would probably be beaten to death there.
So he took his sword and went to a pool.
.....
When people passed by the Sword Sect, they found something extremely strange about a sword.
The disciples of the Sword Sect did not play cards today. Instead, he sat in a row at the doorway with a sad face.
Looking at it again, the square inch sword that the little boy Hu Lu had been swinging on his knees for a long time was gone.
There is chaos in the world.
Fortunately, Chen Huaifeng noticed this in time, and asked people to go to a pool to find Nandao who was chatting with Zhang Xiaoyu, and took out the sword.
Otherwise, the entire Nanyi City, and even the north and south of Fengqi Ling, would fall into great chaos in one day.
Chen Huaifeng looked back at the inside of the Sword Sect and sighed, the world is already chaotic enough, you kid is still here to add to the chaos, do you want to take revenge on me for scaring you yesterday?
But there was one thing to say, Chen Huaifeng turned his head, looked at the group of juniors and disciples, and thought very seriously.
Should the big toe be curled or cocked when the sword is drawn?
.......
Simon sat silently in the courtyard.
The world never thought that one day, an entire branch of the Heavenly Hell would be slaughtered.
Only one was left, Di Qianjun, who was seriously injured and unconscious.
Yesterday, he received an order near Nanyi City, so he hurried back to the prison to prepare for an internal self-examination.
Even on the way, I wondered what if there were really people on the twelfth floor inside the prison?
Fuck it.
Simon held the knife that he didn't know who had sharpened it, and looked at the corpses in the courtyard.
When he came back last night, he saw the pear blossoms and pools of blood in the courtyard, and he knew that something was wrong.
Hurried to the prison, he saw that Di Qianjun was seriously injured, and he was still nailed with a lock nail on his body. He fell unconscious in the corner.
After dragging Di Qianjun, the unlucky southern dispatcher of the Heavenly Prison, Ximen carried a knife and checked all the corpses in the Heavenly Prison one by one.
Jane Shijin also died, and her throat was broken.
It's stupid to die.
Simon thought.
Everyone's bodies had been examined, except for a few of the Heavenly Prison Guards who were still outside and didn't come back.
Only Lin Erliang was not there.
So he knew who the person on the twelfth floor was.
Only Lin Erliang, a person from the small Dao realm, could kill the entire Heavenly Hell.
The reason why Di Qianjun didn't die, and Simon probably knew something.
There was some sword intent left in the prison.
Goji sword intent is Senior Brother Chen Huaifeng.
The Human Sword Sect briefly intervened in this matter.
But what puzzled Simon was something.
In the inner courtyard of the Heavenly Hell.
There are also traces of some fights.
There are two kinds of Taoism, one is Lin Erliang's, which comes from the nameless small Taoist temple, and the other is extremely simple, but it is simple and long.
It's the art of the Great Dao.
At the same time, there is also some sword intent, and the sword intent is not strong.
Fellow cultivators have the avenue and sword intent, and there is one in Nanyi City.
Disciple of Shanhe Guanshan Sect, Zhang Xiaoyu.
But Simon was quick to dismiss this speculation.
If Zhang Xiaoyu intervenes and comes in.
Then when he entered the door, he should have seen Lin Erliang's body lying in the courtyard together.
What's more, the Human Sword Sect interfered in Di Qianjun's affairs, thinking that it was for the sake of stability around Fengqi Ridge, but they obviously didn't care who was on the twelfth floor in the Heavenly Prison.
Simon sat in the courtyard, raising his hand and tapping the knife on his knee, thinking silently.
So in the end, who came to the Heavenly Hell and fought with Lin Er, why did he come to the Heavenly Prison?
It's a pity that Di Qianjun fell into a coma and didn't know what it would take to wake up.
Although Simon is very strong, he entered the heavenly prison too late, and he is still a roving heavenly prison official who wanders outside.
Simon didn't know a lot of key information.
Otherwise, you may know a lot.
The news of the accident in the Heavenly Prison, Ximen had already found the dispatch order in Di Qianjun's arms before, and sent it to the north, and the Heavenly Prison Branch around Fengqiling should have someone coming, as for the future, we need to wait for the news from Huaidu.
Simon stood up with his knife in hand, carefully observing the footprints on the ground.
Someone had stepped on it in a pool of blood.
Walking along the footprints, you will stop at the pear blossom road, where there are many pear blossoms that have been congealed together with blood. It was here that the man seemed to have wiped the soles of his shoes.
Very vigilant people.
Vigilance means that he needs to be careful at all times.
Such people are generally not too strong.
Simon observed the road for a long time, and then finally found something.
Under the pear tree beside the road, there are some slightly sunken footprints.
So the man didn't come in through the main entrance.
Simon jumped onto the wall and crouched on the black wall of the Hell, overlooking the entire outer courtyard.
I watched it for a long time, and then I jumped off.
It's just a pair of footprints, and it's not worth much.
Simon thought so and walked towards the outside of the pear blossom road.
After walking for a while, he suddenly turned around and walked back, squatting down beside those footprints.
There are two pairs of footprints in front of him, one of which is his own.
I watched in silence for a long time.
Simon raised his hand and pressed the knife and said softly, "A cripple." ”
......
The South Island sits by a pool.
Zhang Xiaoyu is also doubting life.
Because Nandao asked him that question as well.
Zhang Xiaoyu sat on the guardrail, took off his shoes, crossed his feet, and repeatedly pulled out the peach blossom sword of Nandao.
After a long time, he threw the sword back to Nandao, sighed, and said, "Senior brother, when you go out in the future, don't ask others this question, otherwise you will be killed." ”
Nandao Xindao said casually, is it really so serious?
But thinking about the disciples of the Sword Sect outside before, their hands began to tremble until the end.
So much so that he is delirious and babbles nonsense.
The more common sense it seems, the greater the truth it seems.
Simplicity is also a kind of big.
Therefore, the avenue naturally has to be known.
I don't know what is usual, I am reckless, I am fierce.
Nan Dao looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said, "Okay, senior brother, by the way, when will senior brother be out of the customs?" ”
Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "What's the point?" ”
But soon realized that something was wrong, laughed, and said: "What's the level, the road is endless, I still need to experience it." ”
It's weird.
Nandao thought, but couldn't tell what was weird.
The two looked at the peach blossoms flowing water, and Zhang Xiaoyu didn't ask why Nandao came to a pool to find him again.
Anyway, he is also idle and boring, and some people say that it is naturally good.
"But it's you, junior brother." Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly looked at Nandao, "When did the junior brother get out of the customs?" ”
Nandao chuckled softly and said, "It was yesterday." ”
Zhang Xiaoyu is a good person.
So the South Island did not hide it.
"But how did Senior Brother see it?"
Nandao was curious about this, since he came to Yichi, he had not made any moves that would trigger the sea of gods.
Zhang Xiaoyu raised his hand and patted the bridge deck beside him.
The wind rises from the bridge, and the peach blossoms in the pond are flying in the sword intent.
"This is the place where the three generations of sect masters of the Human Sword Sect have sat and watched the human world." Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the countless fierce sword intents that were inspired by himself, and said proudly: "If I sit here, it is equivalent to half of the Great Dao Cultivation." ”
Nandao fell silent and looked at Zhang Xiaoyu for a long time.
"Did the senior brother see anything else?"
Zhang Xiaoyu tilted his head and thought about it.
"Your sea of gods has dried up, and you need to recuperate for a while."
Nandao sighed and looked at this ordinary bridgehead.
The world probably wouldn't have thought that the sword intent at this bridgehead could make people step into that door for a short time.
The sword intent of the Human Sword Sect is still like this.
And what about the Grinding Sword Cliff?
