Volume 1 The Man Under the Umbrella Chapter 118 The Disappearing Grass is a Firefly
Nandao stood outside the flowerbed, quietly watching the fallen flowers go.
Not only in the South Island, but many people have seen it.
When those falling flowers flew away, the sword light on the top of the green mountain had disappeared.
So what does this mean?
When the sword light disappeared, those Sword Sect senior brothers returned to the edge of Daze, and then came towards the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
Nandao was caught off guard and saw so many Sword Sect senior brothers, but he seemed a little restrained, after all, they were not Zhang Xiaoyu.
"I've seen you senior brothers."
Nandao held the umbrella and saluted.
The senior brothers looked at the young man with the black umbrella strangely.
"You're the South Island? What are you doing here? ”
A senior brother recognized Nandao and asked suspiciously.
Nan Dao hesitated a little and said, "I came here out of the city last night, and I saw a person planting flowers here, and when I saw those sword lights before, I thought it might be him, so I thought about coming over to have a look." ”
The brothers were silent for a while, looking at the withered flowers in the place, and did not say anything more.
Nan Dao looked at the senior brothers for a long time, thought for a while and asked, "So what's the result over there?" ”
Someone smiled reluctantly and said, "Maybe I won." ”
When Nandao saw this smile, he knew that he had probably lost.
So the old man died?
Nandao sighed, saluted the senior brothers again, and then held the umbrella and walked in the direction of Nanyi City.
A group of senior brothers stood quietly outside the small courtyard, and looked at Daze Qingshan.
"What about Metramin?"
"Should be back soon."
A group of senior brothers looked at the Daze green mountains.
There was a sword sect senior brother in the years that no one knew.
Maybe it's because of Mei Quming that they found something.
It wasn't until a long time later that two injured figures walked out at the foot of the green mountain.
A group of senior brothers turned into sword light and fell there.
"What did you meet?"
Mei Quming was silent for a while, and said slowly: "The son has no sorrow. ”
Although the matter of Childe Wubei becoming a spirit witch is not a secret in the world, it is naturally a little strange to these senior brothers who have not been in charge of the world for a long time.
Nan Dequ briefly said the matter of the child's lack of sorrow.
Only then did the crowd understand what had happened.
Looking at the green mountains of Daze, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the mountains are obscured, and nothing can be seen.
It's just that a son is not sad, and naturally it's nothing.
But the problem is that Childe Wubei is just a person who came first, and it is still unknown what will come over from Daze's side in the future.
Mei Quming remembered the witch mark array he saw at the beginning, and said with a solemn expression: "Earlier, on the top of those green mountains, Senior Brother Dequ and I saw a rather strange large array. It is very similar to the location of the witch mark of the demon magic Yuexing, if you don't guess wrong, it may be the Yuexing Great Array! ”
"The Great Array?"
Some senior brothers frowned.
A senior brother who knew this formation method explained on the side: "It should be a formation from the hand of the original town ghost division, which is the same as the Yue Xing technique, but it can be used for large-scale teleportation and Yue Xing. ”
Everyone looked at the green mountains in amazement.
"Therefore, the speed at which the people of Huangliang crossed Daze was much faster than we imagined."
"It may even have come."
"The question is how many people are coming?"
Everyone looked at Daze Qingshan with solemn expressions.
"It's possible for as many people as you want." Nan Dequ said softly, "Even the ancient Wushan has reappeared in the human world, so it naturally represents the revival of the Witch Ghost God Cult. What we may have to deal with is the whole witch and ghost people. ”
"Is Huang Liang really crazy?"
"It's not Huang Liang who is crazy, but those who have a devout belief in ghosts and gods."
The crowd fell silent.
"Into the mountains?"
A senior brother asked holding his sword.
Nan Dequ was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "You can lay a defense line on the periphery, this Daze green mountain is too big, venture deep, you may get lost in it, if the situation is not right, you will directly retreat to Nanyi City, Chen Huaifeng should be able to see the scene here, and then he should activate the Nanyi City Great Array." ”
Qu Shaming nodded, turning into sword light and heading towards those Lingnan sword cultivators.
"What about us?"
The rest of the brothers asked.
Nan Dequ was silent for a long time, looked at Daze and said, "Go deep into Daze and find the location of the Witch Mark Array." ”
All the Sword Sect senior brothers nodded.
Naturally, we can't sit still.
"Childe Wubei should have suffered some injuries." Mei Quming said slowly, "But there may be other people in the mountains, try not to use sword light to walk." ”
Although the sword light is fast, it is too ostentatious, if there are really many people in the green mountains, it will inevitably become a living target.
The senior brothers took away their sword intent and walked towards Qingshan with their swords.
Nan Dequ and Mei Quming were injured a little, and they did not go with the others, but turned into sword light and headed towards Nanyi City.
When he returned to Nanyi City, Zhang Xiaoyu was still sitting bored on top of the city, and the young Nandao with an umbrella was probably walking in the green hills outside the city.
Seeing the arrival of the two senior brothers, Zhang Xiaoyu hurriedly asked, "What's going on over there?" ”
Mei Quming told Zhang Xiaoyu about the things that the two of them had experienced before.
Zhang Xiaoyu said thoughtfully: "It turns out that there really is such a senior brother? ”
"Senior brother naturally has it, but I don't know where it is scattered in the world." Mei Quming said slowly.
Zhang Xiaoyu also sighed, then looked at the wounds on the two senior brothers, and said, "The senior brothers are not seriously injured." ”
Nan Dequ shook his head and said, "Fortunately, since he has already entered the spirit witch, he naturally won't be so shameless and really killed." ”
Zhang Xiaoyu relaxed slightly.
The two senior brothers sat down on top of the city, although they were not seriously injured, they still needed to recuperate.
After a long time, the boy with an umbrella finally appeared outside the city.
Nan Dao returned all the way to the top of the city, only to find that there were two Sword Sect senior brothers who were also here, but seeing that they were sitting quietly with sword intent, they should be recuperating from their injuries, but Nan Dao did not disturb them, and walked around from the side and stopped beside Zhang Xiaoyu.
I wanted to tell Zhang Xiaoyu what I saw before, but after seeing those two senior brothers, I probably guessed that Zhang Xiaoyu should already know.
So he sighed incessantly.
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Nandao strangely and asked, "What are you sighing for?" ”
Nandao said slowly: "I'm wondering if Nanyi City can win. ”
The teacher and brother are dead, and it seems that Nanyi City is naturally in danger.
Zhang Xiaoyu naturally knew the result of the battle over there, but he was not as discouraged as Nan Dao, patted Nan Dao's shoulder, and said, "First of all, you need to know that the cultivation of the Great Dao is not completely invincible. ”
Nandao tilted his head to look at Zhang Xiaoyu and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the many sword cultivators on the side of Daze and said softly: "Compared to an ordinary Great Dao cultivator, the eighty thousand sword cultivators are naturally more powerful. ”
"What is the cultivation of the Great Dao in general?"
Zhang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "It's probably the Great Dao Realm outside of a person like Master. ”
Nandao understood something.
"So no matter how strong you make his son Wusad, he won't really dare to face the 80,000 sword cultivators in Lingnan alone." Zhang Xiaoyu said calmly. "Advancing Lingnan Sword Cultivation into Daze, although it is a bit risky, it can actually be regarded as a kind of procrastination."
"Eighty thousand sword cultivators are blocked on the edge of Daze, so they have to think about it."
Nandao listened quietly, looked out of Nanyi City, was silent for a while, and said, "What if they are really crazy?" ”
Zhang Xiaoyu was also silent, and said softly: "I don't know." ”
Eighty thousand sword cultivators were naturally extremely effective in slowing down the speed at which the Witch Ghost Dao people approached Nanyi City.
But in other words, it also comes at a very painful price.
Nandao turned his head to look at the top of the city, there were not many sword cultivators here.
Even the female sword cultivator who had repeatedly harassed her before was no longer above the city.
They have probably already gone to the edge of Daze, standing on the edge of the green mountains, ready to meet the first war on both sides of Daze in thousands of years.
But there doesn't seem to be much to say in the world.
Those sword lights heading towards the green mountains were naturally seen by the world.
Nandao raised his head and looked at the center of the distant ancient mountains, at the lone peak that was guarded by thousands of mountains.
What's there?
In other words, what made this peaceful Daze for thousands of years make waves again?
The South Island didn't know.
In this story, he, like those Lingnan sword cultivators, is a small person.
The sword has been worn and has seen the world, but it is still not qualified to come to power.
It's just a small audience of people.
Nandao carried the peach blossom sword on his back and was silent for a long time at the head of the city.
The feat of 80,000 sword cultivators coming down the mountain for the sake of the world is naturally worthy of admiration.
Nandao felt that he should not have such courage.
So hesitate at the head of the city.
Zhang Xiaoyu patted Nandao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What is the junior brother thinking?" ”
Nan Dao was silent for a while, and said softly: "I just suddenly discovered that in fact, those sword cultivators in Lingnan are much braver than many people in the world. ”
Zhang Xiaoyu then understood where Nandao's silence came from, hugged Nandao's neck, and said with a smile as the two first met: "Senior brother does he feel that he doesn't have the courage to go to Daze like them?" ”
Nandao sighed and said, "Yes. ”
Zhang Xiaoyu said with a slight smile: "When people face things they have never experienced, they will hesitate, this is human nature, and junior disciples don't have to feel how unbearable they are, the reason why Lingnan Sword Cultivation is like this is because they have been responsible for maintaining the stability of the north and south of Fengqi Ling for thousands of years, although the world can often only see the influence of the Human Sword Sect on the south of Huai'an, but the contribution of the Lingnan Sword Sect to this land is also indelible. ”
Nandao listened quietly, turning his head to look at this senior brother who was obviously addicted to playing cards, but seemed to know everything.
Zhang Xiaoyu continued: "Senior brother, you have been in the world for a short time, and when you slowly find a lot of things worth loving in the future, you will naturally have this kind of courage like those people, when you drew your sword against Senior Brother Huaifeng on the tomb mountain last night, isn't that exactly the case?" ”
Nandao fell silent.
Then a question was asked.
"So what about rats?"
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said: "The Sword Sect is not an executioner who likes to kill, Liu March did die at the hands of Senior Brother Huaifeng, but it was forced by the situation, in other words, this is not the result of the entire north sitting idly by." As for the rat, you can go to the Nanyi River to find her, maybe she hasn't woken up yet. ”
Nan Dao turned his head and said with a wry smile: "You guys are like this, it seems that I am stupid." ”
"Fifteen-year-olds, it's understandable to stay a little." Zhang Xiaoyu said softly, I don't know if he remembered his fifteen years old, or someone else's fifteen years old.
Nandao felt that although this sentence seemed to be comforting, it always made people feel a little hurt.
Zhang Xiaoyu let go of Nandao's neck, stood still holding Parrot Island at the head of the city, and said softly: "Senior brother, do you want to stay and take a look?" ”
Nan Dao was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "I don't know, when I first saw those sword lights in the sky, I was indeed a little tempted, but the owner of the sword light who turned his head seemed to be dead, so I hesitated again." ”
Nandao said, but tilted his head and thought for a long time: "I seem to remember that in my memory, I should have said that I am not afraid of death, but after sleeping last time, I always feel that I have forgotten a lot of things, and I can't remember why I am not afraid of death at the beginning, so now I am a little afraid of death." ”
Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "There is a problem with people who are not afraid of death, and it is normal to be afraid of death." My master is actually afraid of death, otherwise he would not choose to turn into a demon and lie in the world for a thousand years. ”
South Island: "......"
Zhang Xiaoyu, you are so skinny, does he know Cong Blade?
Nandao was tempted to ask, but in the end she couldn't.
"In other words, it's just a trade-off." Zhang Xiaoyu looked into the distance and said softly, "Look at some things, it's worth betting with your life." ”
"Like Liu March?"
Zhang Xiaoyu was silent for a while, thinking about this friend from a long time ago, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”
Thinking about the scattered stories about Liu March, Nandao sat down at the head of the city and whispered, "Then I'll take a look at it." ”
......
Chen He sighed step by step and returned to the Hanging Courtyard, thinking that going to Jingsi Lake to find grass for fireflies would fade, but in the corridors of those magnolia forests, he saw Yunhu and didn't know.
It is indeed impossible for this Mr. Qingniuyuan who only cultivates his mind but not his body to go to those green mountains outside the city.
Yun Hu was reading a book, heard Chen He's sigh, raised his head to look at him and asked, "What are you sighing for?" ”
Chen He sat down beside Yun Hu and said with a sad face: "There is already a fight outside Nanyi City, and you must sigh to be comfortable." ”
Yun Hu didn't seem to know these things, so he looked at Chen He strangely and said, "The witch ghost Taoist over there has already come?" ”
Chen He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe, didn't those squirting sword light gentlemen in the sky before?" ”
Yun Hu didn't know how to scratch his head and said, "I don't know, after all, I can't help like other gentlemen." ”
"Oh." Chen He thought that Yun Hu didn't know what he thought as well, but he suddenly remembered one more thing, and looked at Yun Hu without knowing with a strange expression.
"Sir, it should be a Huangliang man?"
Yun Hu nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Then he saw Chen He there with some hesitation, as if he wanted to say something, but he felt that it was not easy to say.
Yun Hu didn't know how to smile and said, "You want to say my position?" ”
Chen He smiled embarrassedly.
Yun Hu didn't know how to laugh softly and said, "To be precise, in fact, Master Qing and I are both people from this side of Huai'an Avenue. The origin of this war, I have some speculation, but I am not sure, but it is definitely inseparable from the Witch and Ghost Cult. Don't talk about differences, don't conspire with each other. ”
Yun Hu paused, sat in the corridor, and looked up at the gloomy sky.
"Who likes war like that?"
Chen He nodded approvingly, and said: "So it's best to have peace in the world, and then push the cart to parade in all directions, of course, it is best to be chic and comfortable." ”
Yun Hu looked at Chen He with a smile and said, "You can bring me one in the future." ”
"No problem!"
Chen He patted his chest and said.
The two sat for a while, and then Chen He remembered that he was going to find grass for fireflies, so he stood up and walked towards the other end of the corridor.
Yun Hu looked at Chen He's back and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Chen He said: "Go find my distant relative. ”
Yun Hu said strangely behind him: "But there is no one in Jingsi Lake." ”
Chen He was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Yun Hu Zhiyi, the latter's expression was serious, and it didn't look like a joke.
"No one?"
Chen He said strangely, but decided to take a look.
"I'm going back to the library anyway, it's the same from here."
Yun Hu didn't know what to say, lowered his head and looked at the book, writing and drawing with a frown.
Chen He came all the way to the shore of Jingsi Lake, only to find that Cao Weiying was indeed not here.
The place where he had been sitting earlier had been filled with fallen flowers, and it seemed that he had been gone for a while.
Chen He tilted his head and looked there.
Could it be that he really went to catch the spirit witch?
Chen He did not doubt that Cao Weiying could catch a spirit witch, although the young man who came out of the dream never showed any miracles, and even took scissors to cut all the way to the South Island that had turned into a peach tree.
The only thing that makes people feel a little unusual is that he has a mysterious appearance.
But Chen He still has an inexplicable sense of trust in him.
This is also why every time something happens, Chen He wants to run to find grass for fireflies.
Chen He waited for a long time by the lake, but he didn't wait for the grass to come back, so he sighed, crossed the forest path, and headed in the direction of Qingniuyuan.
It's just that until he returned to the listening platform, Chen He didn't see the figure of grass for fireflies.
This inevitably made Chen He a little curious.
Such a young man who came out of a dream, who is not familiar with the world, can run away?
Chen He looked at the biographical novel on the side, and said in his heart, should he not go to Old Dog Town to ask?
After all, there seems to be a lot of grass in Old Dog Town.
They should know where he went.
Just think about it or forget it, this kid should be back anyway.
Chen He yawned, he didn't sleep well last night, and now he is really sleepy.
So he leaned on the guardrail of the listening platform and fell asleep.
A good night's sleep is of course just as important.
