The rat mouseled the boat on the shore and looked at the long street of Nanyi City.

Then I saw Nandao slowly walking out of the crowd not far away.

The rat rat excitedly stood on tiptoe on the guardrail of the river bank and beckoned to Nandao, for fear that Nandao would not see it and walked over.

When he arrived in the South Island, he couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" ”

Nandao said with a strange expression: "I only saw a bloody clothes, it seems that it is indeed the clothes of Liu March that you said, I don't know anything else." ”

Rat Rat was stunned and said, "You didn't hear anything else?" ”

Nandao said helplessly: "There is no one in the heavens, what am I going to listen to?" ”

"Why is there no one?"

"How do I know?"

The two stood with wide eyes.

A passer-by on the side probably heard the conversation between the two, and said very kindly: "It seems that they have all gone out of the city, and they should have gone to Daze." ”

After hearing this, the rat looked at the South Island with longing.

Nan Dao waved his hand and said, "Don't look at me, I'm not going, Senior Brother Zhang said that the people in Heaven and Hell are not a good thing, and told me not to have too deep contact with them." ”

Rat sat down dejectedly.

Nandao looked at her curiously and said, "One penny less is one penny less, isn't it okay to do one more good deed?" ”

Rat Mouse sighed and said, "You don't understand. ”

The rat lamented and lay down on the head of the spring rain boat.

"My life is at stake!"

“......”

The rat lay on the bow of the ship for a long time, but sat up again, looking at Nandao strangely: "Do you believe in the resurrection of the dead?" ”

“？”

The rat and mouse sighed and said: "They all said that Liu March died, but just last night, Liu March clearly took my boat and went to the Sword Sect, but today they are saying that Liu March died in Daze." ”

Nandao was silent for a moment, and then she understood why the rat rat looked so strange today.

Or maybe it's not rats that are weird.

But someone else?

Nandao thought carefully about the logic of the whole story he told about Ratrat.

"So you suspect that Liu March didn't die, or didn't die in Daze?"

The rat was silent for a moment and nodded.

The two of them looked together at the north of Nanyi City, and now for the Heavenly Hell, that is the most critical place.

Suspicion is suspicion, no one dares to go to the Human Sword Sect to ask this question.

It seems to have turned into a whirlpool.

Get closer, and you'll be swept in.

Maybe it's going to melt.

Whether it is Nandao, or the mouse demon rat, in front of this sword sect that is dormant in Nanyi City, it is just a small existence.

So when they got to this, they didn't go any further.

Nandao sighed, looked at the rat and said, "Although my relationship with Senior Brother Zhang is okay, I'm sorry, I can't help you." ”

Rat Rat smiled and said, "I know, so I'm just asking you to help me go to Heavenly Hell." ”

The Heavenly Hell is naturally not a good place to get along, but it is the Heavenly Hell of the entire Huai'an or the Heavenly Hell Headquarters of Huaidu, just like people often say that the Hanging Courtyard is half of the Huangliang River, which does not mean that the Hanging Courtyard of Nanyi City can top half of the country.

Nandao sighed for a while, looked at the rat and said, "Is there any chance of recovery?" ”

The rat and mouse looked at the river, and the spring rain rippled thinly.

"I don't know." Rat Mouse lamented and said, "I knew that I would have received that money if I was killed at that time." ”

"I'm not an upright person, I'm a little demon who likes to steal and many people don't like, why do you want to be a good person on a whim?"

Being a good person will naturally get you into trouble.

Nandao looked at the mouse with a sad face, sighed, and took out a penny from his arms.

Rat Mouse glanced at the money, thinking that Nandao was trying to comfort her, shook his head and said, "It's useless." ”

Nandao smiled and said, "Do me a favor and take me to the lower reaches of the Nanyi River." ”

The rat seemed to understand something, looked at Nan Dao and asked in a daze, "You want to help me go and see?" ”

Nandao said softly: "Although you are not a good person, I think I should be a good person now, since I am a good person, then I will do you another favor." ”

The rat jumped up, held the penny, looked at Nandao who came to the boat, and said very gratefully: "Thank you so much, a good man has a safe life, and a good man has eight children!" ”

“......”

......

Ximen came to the Hanging Xue Courtyard, and after showing Di Qianjun's sword seal to Li Taimei, he successfully met the vice president of the Hanging Xue Academy, who was also the president of the Wenhua Academy, Mr. Zeng.

Mr. Zeng was walking in the corridor outside the classroom of Wenhua Academy, finishing his class for the students, and Ximen respectfully walked up and saluted.

"Hell West Gate, I've seen Mr."

Although Ximen was a cultivator of the seventh realm of the trail, he still saluted the old gentleman of the Hanging Courtyard very politely.

Although Mr. Zeng faced Zhang Xiaoyu's fierce appearance, but when facing others, he still looked like an elegant old scholar, holding the scroll and saluting back, because the matter of the Heavenly Hell had been fermenting in Nanyi City for two days, and he also knew that it was Ximen who was now in charge of the Heavenly Prison, so Mr. Zeng called Lord Ximen.

"Why is Lord Simon here today?"

Although Simon made a mess of the Heavenly Hell, he was not really so stupid as to directly say that he was looking for someone.

"I heard that before All Souls' Day, Senior Sister Mojian Yaqiu had been a Mr. of Qingniu Courtyard in the courtyard for a period of time." Simon walked down the corridor with Mr. Zeng and whispered.

"It is true." Mr. Zeng nodded, this matter is not secret, naturally there is no need to hide anything.

Simon smiled and continued: "Sir has heard of Simon's name, so you should know that Simon's knife is known for its speed. I heard that the sword of the Grinding Sword Cliff is a fast sword in the world, even if it is a sword from the night rain of the Liuyun Sword Sect, it is difficult to look at it, so I am a little curious, but I can't see Mr. Qiu when I was out on a tour before, so I can't see Mr. Qiu, so I can't help but feel a little regretful. ”

Mr. Zeng stopped, looked at Ximen and said, "Lord Ximen's knife is naturally extremely fast in the world, even if the old man has never practiced, he has heard of it, but I don't know what this has to do with Mr. Qiu?" ”

Simon bowed and said, "Simon wants to meet Mr. Qiu's students and ask for advice." ”

Mr. Zeng smiled, turned around and continued walking.

"Although Mr. Qiu is the eldest gentleman of the Hanging Academy, he has not taught the students, and Lord Ximen is afraid that he will be disappointed on this trip."

Simon chuckled softly, "It's a pity to do that. ”

The two walked to the end of this corridor, and Mr. Zeng stopped, looked at the sword of Di Qianjun on Ximen's waist, and looked at the drizzle outside the eaves of the corridor.

"Maybe Mr. Qiu taught a certain student in private." Mr. Zeng said softly, "But that should be in March of this year." ”

Simon was silent for a moment and said softly, "Yes." ”

"So even if the adult has the heart to ask for advice, that person may not be able to take the adult's knife, what do you think?"

Simon sighed and said, "In this way, it is indeed Simon who is in a hurry. ”

"The rivers in Nanyi City flow together, and a hundred roads run in parallel, adults may wish to go outside to have a look, maybe there will be people who can meet the requirements of adults."

Mr. Zeng said goodbye and bowed to the West Gate. "There are still a lot of chores in the courtyard, so I won't accompany the adults."

Simon also saluted: "It was Simon who came to visit suddenly, and disturbed Mr. ”

Then Simon took the umbrella and left calmly along the path.

Mr. Tsang stood in the corridor of the classroom of the Mandarin Academy and did not leave.

Mr. Mei didn't know where to get it from, holding a stove and looking at the back of Ximen in the distance.

"He's looking for someone?"

Mr. Zeng waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

"No matter what he does, he likes to toss and toss, just don't come to the hospital."

“......”

Mr. Mei looked at Mr. Zeng, who was leaving straight, and was speechless for a while.

......

Ximen returned to the Heavenly Prison, and was mad at the traces he had left behind, and went to the Hanging Courtyard again and returned with no idea.

At this time, he was getting off the boat of the rat, and in the seemingly nostalgic but urging gaze of the rat, he limped with the peach blossom sword and headed towards the southern Daze.

Lu Xiaoxiao, who was standing on the head of the city and nibbling on the buns for dinner, saw the figure holding a black umbrella by the Nanyi River, was stunned, hesitated a little, swallowed the buns in three or two bites, and then hurriedly went down the city wall and chased towards the Nandao side.

Nandao was still thinking sadly about how he was impulsive, so he agreed to help the rats, and he didn't know how long it would take to go to Daze, so he wouldn't sleep in the wilderness tonight.

Then I heard footsteps behind me.

When he looked back, he saw a woman wearing a hat and holding a sword running towards him, still chewing something in her mouth.

Nandao didn't know this person, but he felt a little familiar, so he didn't care, turned his head, and continued to walk forward.

Who knew that the woman walked up and walked by the river parallel to Nandao, smiling very brightly: "Where is the junior brother going?" ”

Nan Dao was stunned for a moment, stopped, tilted his head to look at the woman for a long time, and asked hesitantly, "Are you talking to me?" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao saw Nandao's appearance, and said in his heart, this young man is really refusing himself tactfully, and he even pretended not to have seen it.

But after thinking about it, what did he refuse, it seems that he hadn't even sent an invitation yet.

So Lu Xiaoxiao explained very nervously: "Senior brother, you misunderstood, I'm not interested in you." ”

“？”

Nandao felt that he had probably met a sword cultivator who was not quite mentally normal.

Lu Xiaoxiao was also very dazed when she saw Nandao's look.

What channel is this teenager on?

And that's exactly what the South Island is curious about.

The two of them stood by the Nanyi River in a daze.

Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while, and took out a fairly hot bun from his arms: "Does junior brother eat steamed buns?" ”

Nandao took a step back, waved his hand and said, "I don't eat thank you." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao was silent for a long time, took back the bun, looked at Nandao and said softly, "Senior brother really doesn't remember me?" ”

Nandao took another step back, shaking his head frantically.

Lu Xiao said carefully, if you don't remember, you don't remember, are you serious about taking half a step back?

A small action can hurt so much!

Nandao looked at Lu Xiaoxiao's expression, but he thought that he really recognized her?

It's broken, I'm on the twelfth floor.

Lu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, looked at Nandao, and did not go down.

"My name is Lu Xiaoxiao, I am from the Little White Sword Sect of the Lingnan Sword Sect, and I want to ask my junior brother if you are interested in going back to the mountain with me to practice!"

Nan Dao was stunned for a long time, and then he understood the woman's intention, let out a long breath, looked at Lu Xiaoxiao helplessly and said, "It turns out that Senior Sister is here for this matter?" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao said sincerely: "Of course I came for this. ”

Nandao was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Then why don't you just say it?" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao sighed and said: "After all, the name of Lingnan Sword Sect is too embarrassing to say, but if I am from the Human Sword Sect, I would have dragged you away with confidence." ”

“......”

"So what do you think?"

Nandao was silent for a long time, and said softly: "I don't have such thoughts for the time being. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao sighed, lowered his head in disappointment, and looked at the bun he was holding in his hand, but soon raised his head again, looked at Nandao and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

Nandao didn't know what to say for a while.

Lu Xiaoxiao lifted the bun up again and said, "Please eat a bun, I made it myself, Senior Brother Zhang Xiaoyu said it was delicious after eating it." ”

Nandao was stunned, took the bun, took a bite, and said, "Thank you." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Nandao and returned to the original question.

"So where are you going? Is it over there? There may be some danger there. ”

Nandao ate steamed buns, sighed and said, "Go and help a friend of mine get some news." ”

"What's the news over there?"

"I don't know, let's go check it out."

Lu Xiaoxiao said quite seriously: "Something may happen over there soon, junior brother really wants to go?" ”

Nandao was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao said: "I don't know. ”

“......”

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Nandao's limping appearance, thought for a while and said, "Or I'll accompany you to take a look." ”

Nandao was silent for a while, and said, "Senior sister wants me to owe you some favors?" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao said confidently: "Yes." ”

Nandao handed back the half-eaten bun.

Lu Xiaoxiao turned around and left, sighed and said, "Senior brother, you really don't give a chance." ”

Nandao said in his heart, I don't even know what your little White Sword Sect is, why do you want to give it a chance.

But the buns are really delicious.

Nandao held an umbrella and turned around and left along the long river.

There are many green hills on both sides of the Nanyi River, which surround the river and only appear to be open until it stretches into the distance.

However, the drizzle was hazy, and the South Island could not see so far, so it had to walk slowly.

It wasn't until twilight that Nandao walked out of the green mountains and saw the clouds and dreams that were shrouded in fog.

Nandao stopped at the exit of the Qingshan River, looked at the fog beyond the taro sea with a strange expression, and then looked back at Nanyi City in the distant drizzle.

Why is there such a fog here?

Nandao thought it was very strange.

But that's not something the South Island should be concerned about. Nandao scarred his sword and walked along the trails at the foot of the not-so-tall green hills.

It is obviously impossible to ask the heavenly jailer.

When the rat sent Nandao out of Nanyi City, he told him that he might be able to go to an old man who planted flowers at the foot of the green mountain somewhere outside Xiazawa - according to the news from the Heavenly Hell, the news of Liu March's death came from there.

Nandao walked in the vast green hills, and said in his heart, where to find an old man?

The fog on the edge of Zebian was blown by the breeze in the rain, and it kept rolling, like a quiet and dormant behemoth, ready to rush towards the edge of the green mountains at any time.

Nandao watched vigilantly as he walked along the path under the green hills, he didn't know if it was the right direction, but he had to walk over to find out.

After walking forward for a while, Nandao saw some large flowers blooming in the rain in the distance, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that he stumbled into it by mistake, but he didn't go to the wrong place.

Nandao glanced at the sky and sped up to that side.

The wind blows taro leaves like a sea, but Nandao suddenly glimpses many people who seem to be standing in the sea of taro.

He paused for a moment to look at them carefully before he identified the men from the clothes that had been accidentally exposed.

The Man of Hell.

It turns out that they are really all on the side of Osawa.

I just don't know why it's here.

Nandao thought as she walked towards the flower.

When they got closer, Nandao saw a small courtyard, which was located among the flowers, and it was vaguely possible to see people squatting in the flower beds of the courtyard in their robes, as if they were fiddling with something.

Nandao walked all the way with his sword, and finally passed through the flowers in the drizzle and twilight, stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and raised his hand to knock on the courtyard door.

Not long after, someone slowly walked over, opened the door, and looked at Nandao suspiciously.

"You are?"

The old man looked Nandao up and down, his gaze resting on the sword behind Nandao for a long time.

Nandao bowed and said, "I'm from Nanyi City, and I want to ask you some questions, but I don't know if it's okay." ”

The old man seemed to understand something, nodded, and gave way to the side, seeing Nandao limping away, but he also walked up and helped Nandao for a while.

The two walked to the eaves and sat down, and the old man put the small hoe in his hand in the corner of the wall, looked at Nandao with a smile and said, "It's for that young man." ”

Nandao didn't know how old Liu March was, and he only knew the name from beginning to end, but when he saw the old man say this, he still nodded.

"I want to ask, did you really see Liu March dead?"

The old man chuckled softly and said, "He's dead." ”

Nandao was stunned, if the old man didn't lie, then what the rat saw that night was really Liu March who came back from the River Styx?

The old man seemed to know what Nandao was thinking, and said softly, "He didn't die in Zeri. ”

Nandao looked at the old man in shock and said slowly, "What do you mean?" ”

The old man turned his head to look somewhere under the eaves, where there was a chaise longue, where Liu March had been lying last night, telling his story.

"He died in Nanyi City."

Nandao said in a daze: "Why? ”

"Because he's Liu March." The old man said softly, "When he returns to Nanyi City, the Human Sword Sect will kill him." ”

The old man said very vaguely, and although Nandao didn't understand why, he also believed it.

"How do you know?"

The old man looked at the sword behind Nan Dao and said slowly, "Because I used to be a disciple of the Sword Sect. ”

"I know what kind of decisions the Human Sword Sect will make at certain times."

The old man said calmly, thinking of the young man, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart.

When he lay down on the chair and finished telling his story, the old man knew that he had gone back to Nanyi City, and there was no return.

Nandao sat under the eaves, silent for a long time, not knowing what to say.

The old man looked at the taro sea on the edge of Daze.

"Did you see the people from Hell over there?"

"See."

"They also came to kill Liu March, but I lied to them at the time, so they didn't know that Liu March was really dead."

Nan Dao was silent for a long time, looked at the old man and said, "Since you have deceived the people of the Heavenly Hell, why do you have to tell me again?" ”

The old man sighed under the eaves.

"Such a person, who dies in the world, must always leave some truth to the world, even if it will ruin the reputation of the Sword Sect."

The old man said softly.

"But you have to do something to have some peace of mind."

Nandao fell silent.

The old man looked at the two swords behind Nan Dao and said softly: "Promise me, before this story ends, don't tell the world the truth, the truth is cruel and useless - a bloody cry can save Nanyi City." ”

Nandao sighed and said, "I don't know anything, not even what you're doing or saying. But why don't you tell them personally when the time comes? ”

The old man laughed, looked at Daze in the distance, and said softly: "I'm outside the city, and I will definitely be the one who dies first." ”

Nandao fell silent.

"Okay."
