Zhang Xiaoyu was chewing buns while walking towards the Nandao duo in the drizzle.

"Why is my junior brother here today?" Zhang Xiaoyu has always been a genius who pretends to be confused.

After all, people who can leave debts everywhere in Nanyi City will not be confused, and it is difficult to fool the past.

Nandao sat at the head of the city with an umbrella, turned his head to look at the green mountains in the world, and said, "Come and listen to the rain." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "If you listen to the rain, it's better to play cards." ”

"Why don't you go and play cards, senior brother?"

Zhang Xiaoyu sighed and said, "No way, so many sword cultivators have come to Nanyi City, and the Human Sword Sect will always come out to take a look." ”

Nan Dao looked around, and saw that those sword cultivators were faintly looking in this direction of himself, but of course he would not look at himself, but at Zhang Xiaoyu, a disciple of the Human Sword Sect.

Nandao retracted his gaze, looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said, "If Senior Brother is busy, you can go and be busy, I'll just sit here for a while." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu was naturally extremely reluctant to do these things in his heart, but unfortunately now he is a person from the Human Sword Sect who looks at the world, and when he came over, he saw that Nandao was here, and he was still a little happy, thinking that it would be better to talk nonsense with Nandao, and just take a look at it by the way.

But at this time, seeing Nandao say this, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Then I'll come back and talk to my junior brother later." ”

Nandao nodded.

Zhang Xiaoyu walked towards the center of the sword cultivators in the distance.

Nandao watched from a distance there, and when he saw Zhang Xiaoyu coming, those sword cultivators all came up with a smile, and they didn't know what to say to Zhang Xiaoyu, in short, it would not be a very pleasant thing, so Zhang Xiaoyu looked sad and nodded reluctantly.

Then he stood at the head of the city, looked at the group of sword cultivators, and coughed lightly.

"Ahem, since everyone wants me to say a few words so strongly, then I will reluctantly say a few words to everyone. I also thought about it, what words do you say? Then I'll say these few sentences, then, I believe, these sentences are also stronger than those sentences, so today, I will say these few sentences first, so if you think that these sentences are not comprehensive enough, ah, in the future, give me a few more words. ”

Nandao was stunned and looked at Zhang Xiaoyu who was smiling and talking nonsense.

Even Chen He, who was still worried about where he was going to sell tofu in the future, turned his head and looked at Zhang Xiaoyu over there in shock.

A group of sword cultivators from Lingnan looked at each other, they had never experienced such a scene, and they didn't know how to continue for a while.

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't care about everyone's attitude, and looked around at everyone with a slight smile.

"When I'm done, who's in favor and who's against?"

“.......”

The entire Nanyi City was silent.

What is against, what is it for?

The Lingnan sword cultivators scratched their heads, and the people in Nanyi City stopped talking now?

Someone applauded, so all the sword cultivators reacted and applauded in unison, very enthusiastically, as if they had listened to an extremely exquisite sermon lesson.

Zhang Xiaoyu walked down amid applause and greeted everyone with a smile.

Who was the first to applaud?

Nandao looked at Chen He on the side, and the latter explained seriously: "I think it's really good!" ”

“？”

It looks like he's only said a few words. In fact, there is much more to it than these few sentences, and if you take those few sentences apart, you will find that there are deeper sentences hidden in them. ”

Chen He explained approvingly, and then said to Zhang Xiaoyu, who came over:

"Mr. Zhang is worthy of being a disciple of the Human Sword Sect, these words are really good."

"Hey, where, where." Zhang Xiaoyu arched his hands proudly and smiled, "I have won awards." ”

Nandao held an umbrella and silently moved into the distance, for fear that others would know that they knew the two of them.

The two who didn't know each other at first, after Zhang Xiaoyu's shocking speech, felt on the spot that they would be the best friends of their lives, so they sat on top of the city with their shoulders hooked and began to brag nonsense.

After learning that Chen He could also fry sizzling teppanyaki tofu, Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't stop sighing that he hated seeing each other late.

The two of them said that they were going back to fry some tofu and drink some wine, and talk about life and ideals.

Nan Dao silently held an umbrella and covered his face, and the two asked him if he wanted to go, and Nan Dao turned his head to look at the drizzly sky.

"The sun is so round today!"

The two of them didn't care about the South Island anymore, and walked towards the city with their shoulders hooked.

I'm probably going to say a lot more.

After the two left, the city was quiet again, and the Lingnan sword cultivators were still thinking deeply about what Zhang Xiaoyu said.

Lu Xiaoxiao watched from afar.

Zhang Xiaoyu said whether there was any deep meaning in those words, she didn't listen to it.

Because even if she hid a little farther, she was still very entangled, wearing a hat and picking up the city, looking at Nandao very tangled.

After hesitating for a long time, after seeing Chen He leave with Zhang Xiaoyu, Lu Xiaoxiao finally made up his mind.

The one who knows who he is is gone, so it's better to go and probe.

He didn't know who he was anyway.

Lu Xiaoxiao clenched his fists, cheered himself up, and walked towards Nandao casually.

Nandao sat at the head of the city, and then he smelled the smell of buns and leaned towards him.

Then as soon as he turned around, he saw the woman Jian Xiu, who was sitting in the corner of the wall and munching on a bun, walked to his side, Nandao was wondering, and heard the woman say, "Do you know Senior Brother Zhang Xiaoyu?" ”

Nandao suddenly realized that it was for Zhang Xiaoyu, nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just see that you seem to be very familiar with him, by the way, which Sword Sect in Lingnan are you?" ”

Nan Dao shook his head and said, "I'm not from the Lingnan Sword Sect. ”

"Oh, it turns out that you are from the Human Sword Sect."

Nan Dao thought about the scene when he was rejected by the Human Sword Sect at the beginning, smiled, and said, "I am not from the Human Sword Sect either. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao seemed to still want to guess something, Nandao held the umbrella and sighed, and said, "I'm not from any Sword Sect, I'm just a gatehouse in the Hanging Courtyard." ”

When Nandao talked about this identity, he hesitated, after all, he hadn't done anything for Mr. Mei for a long time. But after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, why did I ask and ask all about myself, so I looked at this woman Jian Xiu with the smell of vegetable oil in a bun suspiciously.

Lu Xiaoxiao saw Nandao's eyes, laughed awkwardly, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm curious about how you know Senior Brother Zhang." ”

Nandao thought for a moment and said, "I met by playing cards." ”

"It's not good to play cards!"

Lu Xiaoxiao said quickly.

“？”

Nandao looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Lu Xiaoxiao coughed lightly twice, and Fang Cai's sentence was subconsciously said, because she was really worried that Nandao was addicted to playing cards and missed the path of cultivation.

That's a bit of a tyrannical thing.

But he soon realized that he didn't seem to have any identity to say such things, looked outside the city, turned his brain, looked back at Nandao and said, "Because Senior Brother Zhang is a good example." ”

Nandao has never heard of these stories of Zhang Xiaoyu.

"What's wrong with Senior Brother Zhang?"

"Senior Brother Zhang has been in the seventh realm for a long time, but since he became obsessed with playing cards, he has been staying here." Lu Xiaoxiao said earnestly, "You are still young, and you will think about playing cards in the future, but don't follow the old path of Senior Brother Zhang." ”

"......," Minamijima was silent, "thank you, but it shouldn't happen, because no one wants to play cards with me." ”

No one wants to play a game that they know they are going to lose.

Although Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know why, he nodded expectantly and said, "This is the best." ”

Nan Dao listened to Lu Xiao's tone, and always felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, thought about it, and said, "Well, I still have some things, so I'll leave first." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Okay, okay." ”

Nandao hurried away with his sword on his back.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Nandao's back from behind, sighed, and after talking for a long time, she was still not embarrassed to ask Nandao that question.

It wasn't until he couldn't see Nandao's figure that Lu Xiaoxiao held his sword and walked back to the corner to sit sullenly.

There was another sigh.

......

Zhang Xiaoyu and Chen He were eating teppanyaki tofu and drinking wine in the city, chatting for a long time, until Chen He was drunk in a daze, Zhang Xiaoyu stopped and dragged Chen He into the Tianyan car.

Zhang Xiaoyu also participated in the production process of Tianyan car, so he naturally knew how to drive.

It's just that the driving skills are a bit ugly.

didn't have the demeanor of the sword cultivator at all, and he broke through Nanyi City crookedly, and he returned to the Hanging Courtyard without danger.

Zhang Xiaoyu hadn't come to the Hanging Courtyard for several days.

At this time, I came back, but I was a little worried about whether I would be deducted when I was paid next month.

After worrying for a while, Zhang Xiaoyu dragged Chen He upstairs.

I sat on the listening platform for a long time.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Chen He, who was drunk and delirious.

It may be true that we hate to see each other late.

But naturally there are other stories.

For example, the shameful thing that Zhang Xiaoyu did that night.

Zhang Xiaoyu thought about it for a long time and felt that it shouldn't be his problem.

It's Chen He's problem.

So he picked up a biographical novel and put it aside, raised Chen He's hand and pressed it on it.

"I'm going to ......"

Old Dog Town hasn't shouted out yet.

The scene in front of Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes has changed.

A mountain cliff and a large lake appeared in front of him, and he and Chen He sat under a peach tree that was constantly falling peach blossoms, with a bright spring in the distance and a noisy town behind them.

Zhang Xiaoyu let go of Chen He's hand and stood up under the peach tree with a solemn expression.

It turns out that there are really some secrets hidden in the hanging courtyard.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked down at the big lake in front of him, the lake was quiet, quietly reflecting his shadow, far away in the fog under the cliff.

It seemed that there was nothing, but Zhang Xiaoyu faintly felt that something was wrong, squatted down by the lake, raised his hand and touched the lake, but in an instant, a sword wound appeared on Zhang Xiaoyu's fingertips.

Zhang Xiaoyu retracted his hand and looked at the large lake that quietly reflected the sky and clouds.

He didn't feel wrong.

There is no water in these lakes.

It is an incomparably pure and rich sword intent to the extreme.

Zhang Xiaoyu felt the faint sword intent in the big lake, which was exactly the same as the sword intent on the peach that forced him to stay in a pool for several days.

Although he felt that there seemed to be a lot of things in the depths of the lake, Zhang Xiaoyu didn't dare to look down.

After all, the lessons of the previous car are the teachers of the rear cars.

Standing up, Zhang Xiaoyu looked back at the town behind the sea of flowers, glanced down at Chen He, thought about it, and chose to go alone.

All the way through those sea of flowers, to the entrance of the town, where there was a lazy big yellow dog, it seemed to hear Zhang Xiaoyu's footsteps, the old dog raised his eyes, glanced at Zhang Xiaoyu, and lowered his eyelids again, and continued to sleep.

This made Zhang Xiaoyu feel insulted.

Why don't you scream twice, what do you mean by looking at me like this?

Zhang Xiaoyu thought about it and forgot the idea of being cautious before, and squatted down to give the old dog a set of all-round real massage services.

Just squatted down, and there was a faint sense of crisis in his heart, the old dog still didn't open his eyes, but Zhang Xiaoyu's forehead was oozing some fine sweat.

Zhang Xiaoyu stood up, laughed awkwardly, and said, "I'm kidding you, brother dog." ”

That's when that feeling faded from my heart.

Zhang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and carefully walked past the old dog.

The people in the town came and went, and it was very prosperous, but no one looked at Zhang Xiaoyu's fresh face, just walked on the street as usual, talking to each other.

Zhang Xiaoyu took off the scabbard behind him and held it in his arms, which gave him a little sense of security, so he walked on the long street of this town.

Someone was making sake, and there was a strong smell of sake lees nearby, and it looked like it wasn't very good, as if it had been burned.

Zhang Xiaoyu is not a drinker, so he did not pursue the source of this taste.

It's just a little curious, how can someone make wine so badly in such a strange place?

There was some chaotic clanging sound in an alley not far away, which sounded like it was striking iron, which made Zhang Xiaoyu a little curious, and followed the sound towards that side.

Across the alley was an open-air blacksmith's platform against the edge of the great lake.

It looks like it has just been built, and everything is still brand new.

There was a middle-aged man with a topless body holding an iron hammer, squatting by the lake and looking at the red-hot iron on the platform, looking at it with a sad face.

It should be him striking iron, Zhang Xiaoyu stopped in the alley and looked curiously at the blacksmith platform by the lake.

The man seemed to sense something, raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiaoyu, was stunned for a moment, then looked at the scabbard in Zhang Xiaoyu's arms, hesitated a little, and asked, "Do you know how to strike iron?" ”

Zhang Xiaoyu wanted to say no, I'm a heir of the mountains and rivers with red roots, where will I strike iron?

But suddenly remembered what I asked Nandao at the beginning, thought about it, and said, "I can't, but I can learn." ”

Of course, what can be learned is not striking iron.

Instead, Zhang Xiaoyu saw that man and directly took the water of sword intent in the lake.

This made Zhang Xiaoyu feel that the person in front of him was a little unfathomable.

When the man heard Zhang Xiaoyu say that he wouldn't, he directly ignored the next sentence and continued to look at the iron in front of him with a sad face.

Zhang Xiaoyu walked towards the blacksmith platform, turned around several times, and asked, "Are you planning to forge a sword?" ”

The man nodded, sighed and said: "The grass is nervous for that kid of Firefly, and somehow got a bunch of broken swords back, saying that he wants me to reforge it, I'm still learning to farm, how can this thing, that kid doesn't care anyway, he left this pile of rags and went to drink." ”

As he spoke, the man pointed to a pile of broken swords - remnants from the battle with Nandao and Peach Blossom at the bottom of the lake.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at those broken swords, and thought about who is the grass for fireflies?

The man looked at it for a long time, then raised his hammer and began to beat the iron embryo again.

A hammer almost didn't deaf Zhang Xiaoyu's ears.

Zhang Xiaoyu covered his ears, didn't think about who Cao Weiying was, and squatted aside to watch the man smash the sparks there with a sledgehammer.

After a long time, the man finally stopped, picked up the iron clamp and picked up the iron embryo that finally had a long shape, and looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said, "Little brother help me get some water, thank you." ”

Very polite, so Zhang Xiaoyu was not embarrassed to refuse, picked up the wooden bucket from the side, walked to the lake, carefully filled a bucket of water, and mentioned the man's side.

The man threw the iron embryo into the bucket very roughly, and a large area of sword intent steamed, Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly dodged to the side, but unfortunately it was still a little late, and there were a lot of sword marks on his white clothes.

Fortunately, those sword marks were not deep, and Zhang Xiaoyu didn't pay much attention to it, and after a while, he leaned over with the man, only to see that the iron embryo in the barrel had cooled down, and the original red color had become extremely black.

"What's next?" Zhang Xiaoyu is learning very modestly.

The man thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to do it. ”

"That's it?" Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment before reacting.

The man nodded, took out the 'sword' that was still steaming with iron tongs, held it up in front of him for a long time, and nodded with satisfaction.

"That's it, good." The man smiled proudly, "This is the first sword in Old Dog Town, I decided to call him the first sword in the world!" ”

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the broken swords on the side, and then at the piece of iron that the man was holding like a flat fish, and suddenly felt that the peach blossom sword in Nandao was not so ugly.

At least it's still sword-shaped.

The man didn't care about those things, glanced at the scabbard in Zhang Xiaoyu's arms, and patted his head: "Yes, there is still a scabbard missing." ”

So he found a sack near the blacksmith's table, stuffed his sword into it, and then walked triumphantly towards the town with the sword.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the man's back and asked.

"Let's take a look at my good sword."

“.......”

Zhang Xiaoyu was speechless by others for the first time.

Shouldn't this kind of thing that makes people speechless be exclusive to you?

Zhang Xiaoyu glanced at the blacksmith platform beside him, and then looked at the broken swords on the side.

Thinking about trying to knock a sword yourself?

Although Zhang Xiaoyu had never forged a sword, he felt that his aesthetics should be much better than that man's.

Look up at the alley.

The man had already walked out of the alley with his sword in his hand, and the people on the long street of the town gathered around in surprise.

"Wow, what is this?"

"Sword, the first sword in the world."

"It's amazing, I've never seen it before, can I touch it?"

"Of course!"

So the farmer knocked a fish.

Became a swordsman.
