Chapter 4 The Floating Thing and the Floating White
When Le Chaotian passed by the bushes outside the ping, he coughed twice.
"Senior brother has a cold?" Nandao looked at him and asked.
Le Chaotian smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my throat is a little uncomfortable." β
Nandao didn't ask again.
After walking past the bushes, two sneaky figures emerged from behind the bushes.
"You see, I'll just say that Senior Brother Le can't be sent by other sword sects in Lingnan to dig up the foot of the wall."
This is Wu Dalong's voice.
"I just thought what if?"
Lu Xiaoxiao's sense of distress is very in place.
Nandao was sweating not far away, looking at Le Chaotian on the side, this very gentle young man just smiled.
The two of them didn't bother anymore, and walked further down the path.
After walking for a long time, Nandao saw the small pool at the end of the trail - about six feet, very clear.
Surrounded by an open space, there were many gray garden lamps that I didn't know where to move - maybe picked, shabby, and different shapes, scattered around the clearing.
An old man with white hair in a gray robe like another garden lamp was squatting by the pool, and the faint garden lamp looked terrifying on his face.
The most frightening thing is that he is chanting words.
"Sword, sword, where have you been?"
Nandao fell silent when he saw this.
No wonder even his own disciples call him an old madman.
"Master." Le Chaotian, this will be polite. "Senior Brother Nan is back."
The old man jumped to his feet, and after standing still by the pool, he smiled and looked at Nandao like a baby.
"Okay, okay, those swords didn't come back, it's good that this sword is back."
Nandao looked at this scene, was silent for a long time, and said, "Can I say that I am here to resign?" β
The old man waved his hand at this time and said quite imposingly: "No! β
Le Chaotian said with a smile: "Master, you don't have to be excited, Senior Brother must be joking." β
The old man glared at Le Chaotian and said, "What senior brother?" That's your uncle! β
βοΌβ Nandao looked confused.
The old man walked up eagerly, clasped Nandao's hand without an umbrella, and said very sincerely: "Senior Brother Nan, the hope of the Sword Sect is all on you. β
Nan Dao wanted to turn around and leave, but remembered that he was rescued by Lu Xiaoxiao - although this senior sister who beat Senior Brother Wu at every turn didn't say anything, Nan Dao was still able to guess a lot from the pictures he saw when he fell from the city.
What's more, Lu Xiaoxiao's realm has fallen.
So Nandao was silent for a long time, and then said, "Okay. β
didn't deny the old man's senior brother.
Anyway, this old boy looks crazy, so let him go.
"I'll take my senior brother back first." Le Chaotian didn't pay attention to the messy things that the old man said, and held Gong Hou with one hand and pulled Nandao with the other and walked outside.
The two left in a hurry.
The old man didn't squat by the pool anymore, but stared at the parrot island behind Nandao suspiciously.
Hey, why the more the hell does this sword look familiar?
......
Nandao walked back on the quiet path with Le Chaotian.
"The old man's surname is He, this is what Senior Brother Wu told me before, of course I don't know what it is called, but it shouldn't be called He Biping."
Le Chaotian walked very leisurely with Konghou in his arms, while casually talking to Nandao about these things.
"Why can't it be called He Biping?" Holding an umbrella, Nandao looked at the trees that already had many withered yellow leaves on the side of the road, and asked.
Le Chaotian said with a smile: "Because an old man like this who squats by the pool all day long, only thinking about the sword coming and going, probably won't have anything uneasy." β
It's hard to be peaceful, why bother.
Nandao thought for a while and said, "Those swords are gone, isn't it difficult to settle down?" β
Le Chaotian plucked the strings casually and said, "That may actually be more like a pursuit?" If there is never something to hope for, there will naturally be nothing unsettled. β
Nan Dao looked at Le Chaotian and said, "Does that junior brother have it?" β
Le Chaotian shook his head with a smile and said, "Naturally, no." β
"I thought you loved music so much, but you were always jealous, and it was inevitable that there would be some."
Le Chaotian stopped, looked at the night autumn breeze on the side of the road, and laughed softly: "It's normal and correct that the song is high and low, and it is not understood." I didn't expect them to understand me in the first place. β
Nandao held an umbrella and looked at Le Chaotian quietly, but also said with some admiration: "Senior brother can really see it." β
Le Chaotian smiled and continued to walk forward.
"Senior brother should have learned swords?" Le Chaotian said as he walked.
Nandao looked back at the two swords behind him, only to realize that he had still forgotten to pull the parrot island out of the scabbard.
After thinking about it, forget it, they are all their own brothers anyway, so if you look stupid, you will be stupid.
Nan Dao turned his head, looked at the ugly sword behind Le Chaotian, thought for a while and said, "I have learned a little miscellaneous, has my junior brother started to learn the sword?" β
Le Chaotian said with a smile: "Not yet, the old man is talking about swords and swords every day, Senior Brother Wu, they guard you every day, and they only give me a broken sword temporarily, and they just dance twice in their spare time on weekdays." β
Nandao was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe I can teach you?" But in fact, I also learned the sword in general, and I learned it in a daze, and someone taught me several swords, but I didn't learn anything thoroughly. β
Le Chaotian was very happy, looked back at Nandao and said with a smile: "Okay, some learning is better than not learning." β
Nan Dao was a little curious and Le Chaotian's interest, and asked suspiciously, "What does the junior brother want to learn the sword so much?" β
Le Chaotian said with a smile: "After learning the sword, walking in the world with the sword on your back and playing tunes will always make some dissatisfied people more restrained." β
"It turns out that the junior brother still cares."
"Naturally, yes, if you don't expect it, you don't expect it, but it's still annoying for them to quarrel."
Nandao laughed.
The two of them walked out of the path leading to the sword-throwing pool, and walked along another bluestone road for a while, stopping at the bottom of a small building.
"Senior brother can live here, I am next door, and Senior Brother Wu Dalong is on the other end, because he has a lot of things to do, such as forging swords, such as watering vegetables, etc."
Le Chaotian said while pointing to Nandao.
Nan Dao looked at the extremely quiet Xiaolou and said, "I thought there would be more people in the Sword Sect. β
Le Chaotian said with a smile: "I heard that there were quite a lot of them before, otherwise there would not be these small buildings, but since a certain generation of sect masters began to suddenly have a whim, after throwing a sword in that pool, there are fewer and fewer disciples, and in the entire Lingnan, not many people want to come here - this is what Senior Brother Wu said." β
"Okay."
Nandao walked downstairs with an umbrella.
Le Chaotian stood behind, but said, "Senior brother, did you pass through that Luofeng Gorge before?" β
"Yes." Nandao looked back at Le Chaotian and said, "What's wrong?" β
Le Chaotian said with a smile: "I think it's pretty good there, I'm going to build a house there, do you want to be together?" β
Nandao's eyes lit up.
This is indeed possible, otherwise Lu Xiaoxiao and Wu Dalong of the province will fight there every day.
"Okay."
Le Chaotian smiled and walked towards another small building.
Nandao entered the small building and took a cursory look for a while, which was very simple.
Below is the sleeping room, and upstairs is an attic that is open on all sides, presumably a place for meditation and meditation.
Lying down on the bed, the mountain was silent, which made Nandao, who had been in Nanyi City for a long time, a little uncomfortable, so he got up again, went to the attic, blew the mountain breeze on the edge, and entered the state of cultivation.
......
"Senior brother!"
Nandao heard Le Chaotian's voice early in the morning of the second day, opened his eyes and looked downstairs, today's Le Chaotian did not hold the bulky big gonghou anymore, but hung an old beard around his waist, but there were some strange things of different lengths inserted at the bottom.
What kind of instrument is this?
Nandao looked to the side again, Lu Xiaoxiao was there, Wu Dalong was not there, it was estimated that just like Le Chaotian said, he went to the field by the mountain road in the early morning to water vegetables.
"It's time to go to the Little White Sword Sect today!" Lu Xiaoxiao was carrying a sword on his back, and he emphasized it very solemnly.
Nan Dao looked at this senior sister who had been chasing him for a long time in Nanyi City, smiled, and said, "Okay." β
Then he walked downstairs with an umbrella, looking at the two people in front of him, Nandao asked casually: "What about Senior Brother Wu?" β
"I'm going to water the cabbage."
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as Nanjima guessed.
The grass beside the road has not died, but it does not have the green and verdant meaning of spring, and the trees on both sides are similar, and the hour is still very early, so many branches and leaves by the road are carrying some autumn dew.
The three of them continued to walk the same way they had come yesterday afternoon, to the other side.
On the way, I passed a small waterfall, and below it was a clear pool, which carried the falling water, and then drifted down in the many gravel beaches.
The three of them walked over the cleanly washed stones at the bottom of the waterfall, but they did not wet their clothes.
Nandao looked at the waterfall on this cliff, but he didn't know where the water came from.
Le Chaotian on the side seemed to know Nandao's doubts, and said: "This is the Sword Washing Waterfall, which came from a spring on the top of the mountain, and after gathering a lot of mountain streams, it became bigger, and after arriving here, it became this waterfall - Senior Sister Lu said." β
The words in Le Chaotian's mouth are generally two sources.
What Senior Brother Wu said and Senior Sister Lu said.
Of course, the name of the Sword Washing Waterfall is still good, and it is very easy to understand.
I just don't know if I've ever washed out any useful swords.
Lu Xiaoxiao smiled softly and said: "Actually, its name should be Little White Waterfall, it was taken many years ago when the founding master of the Little White Sword Sect passed through here, and even the name of the Little White Sword Sect came from here. β
Nandao asked curiously, "Why is it called Xiaobai?" β
Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it, picked up the reed instrument on Le Chaotian's waist, put it in front of him, as if he was drinking, and said with a sword on his back: "The grand scene here should be a little white." β
Le Chaotian said with a smile: "Senior sister said that she said, what are you going to do with my Hulusi?" β
Lu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Isn't this to be a demonstration for junior disciples." β
Since successfully bringing Nandao back to Lingnan, Lu Xiaoxiao has become cheerful, even if his realm falls, he is at the bottom level in Lingnan, and there is no sadness, all kinds of laughter and laughter.
Maybe really happy.
Nan Dao looked at Lu Xiaoxiao, and said with the same smile: "So that's the case, then why isn't it called the Great White Sword Sect?" β
Lu Xiaodao: "Maybe the scenery here is not enough to float and white." β
The three of them walked through with a smile.
"Then why was it called the Sword Washing Waterfall later, is it to practice swords under this waterfall?"
Nandao remembered that the words Chen He read had such a plot.
"That's not it, it's Wu Dalong's guy, after knocking the sword, he ran here to quench the water and wash the sword, and then threw the old man into the sword-throwing pool."
β......β
Nandao didn't know what to say for a while.
"But you can also practice swords under the waterfall, if the junior brother has this preference." Lu Xiaoxiao said very seriously. "Maybe flowing water can really refine sword intent?"
When Le Chaotian heard this, his expression became strange, and he looked at Nandao and... The umbrella.
"Senior brother standing under the waterfall with an umbrella to practice swords?"
Le Chaotian said with a soft smile.
Lu Xiaoxiao laughed awkwardly twice.
I really didn't think of that.
Nandao looked at Lu Xiaodao: "Has the senior sister ever tried it?" β
Lu Xiaoxiao walked forward with the sword on his back and said, "I tried it, but I caught a cold that night, and I coughed like a pig for a few days." β
Nandao was silent.
Although it is true that the body of sword cultivation is not as good as that of the Daomen, after all, people can maintain their health and enter the body of Taoism. But it's not that bad.
Nandao has already walked through this waterfall, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but look up, but he didn't see anything, just a waterfall and green mountains.
Lu Xiaoxiao had already gone forward with Le Chaotian, and Nandao hurriedly glanced at it twice and followed.
In fact, this is not all the questions brought by Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
When I saw the sword throwing pond last night, Nandao felt that there was a familiar feeling in the water of this green mountain, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
If you can't think of anything, you won't care about it for the time being.
Nandao held an umbrella and carried a sword on his back, and followed the two of them.
After passing through a forest of red leaves, another red complex of buildings appeared in front of me.
Compared to the deserted Tianya Sword Sect over there, the Little White Sword Sect is much better-looking.
At first, there were many white-flowered osmanthus trees, with many low plants with red leaves, and some white gravel paths scattered around. The red and white contrast, but the color is distinct, and there is no other context.
The three of them crossed the path, but there were several little girls and teenagers who stopped in front of a courtyard with swords on their backs, looking at the three people who came and saluted very respectfully.
"I've seen Master, Uncle Nan, Uncle Music."
Nan Dao looked at Lu Xiaoxiao blankly, why was he still a senior brother yesterday, and today he directly became a senior uncle?
Lu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, I am the contemporary sect master of the Little White Sword Sect. β
Although this once sad woman who was gnawing on a bun in Nanyi City is now smiling, there is obviously a lot of loneliness in her smile at the moment.
Nandao was silent for a while, looked at Lu Xiaoxiao and asked, "What about your master?" β
Just after asking, Le Chaotian on the side pulled his clothes.
"She." Lu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I'm angry with me." β
Nan Dao then understood why Le Chaotian suddenly pulled his clothes.
I probably understood why Wu Dalong gave up, and she still insisted.
Maybe it's really that I can't see hope in myself.
Nanjima whispered, "I'm sorry. β
"It's okay." Lu Xiaoxiao did think so, walked forward, and touched the heads of those little teenagers, who may only be three or four years younger than Nandao, and they all looked a little restrained.
There is also a little boy in Nanyi City.
But a teenager is not the same as a teenager.
If nothing else, that little boy will be the sect master of the behemoth of the Human Sword Sect in the future.
And these little teenagers were still silent in the mountains, looking at Nandao, the uncle who was not a few years older than them.
"Okay, let's all go and practice swords, Lu Xiaoyi, you go cook first, if you run out of vegetables, go to your Uncle Wu to steal some cabbage."
Nandao heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, and felt a little funny, but he couldn't laugh a little, so he just held an umbrella and watched those little teenagers and girls scatter with swords on their backs.
The courtyard was quiet, Lu Xiaoxiao walked forward with a sword on his back, and then stopped under an osmanthus tree in a courtyard, looked back at Nandao, and said very sincerely: "I'm serious, junior brother." β
It's not just the Tianya Sword Sect or the Little White Sword Sect.
The future of Lingnan lies in the South Island.
Nan Dao sighed, stood in the courtyard with his sword on his back, and said softly: "Senior sister, in the era when the Great Dao was only two thousand years old, you always said such things, and my pressure was really great. β
Lu Xiaoxiao laughed, but he didn't have those sad emotions anymore, so he straightened up again.
"The Great Dao has been multiplied for more than 2,000 years, that is, it has been bred in the world for seventy or eighty generations, which is not short, there should be nature, and there is no one, that is your business, junior brother."
Lu Xiao seemed to be very old, but she was only thirty years old, and even Chen Huaifeng was older than her, let alone Wu Dalong.
Le Chaotian looked at Lu Xiaoxiao's indiscriminate gaze, and said with a smile: "Is it also me?" β
Lu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "That's nature. β
"Ah, okay."
Lu Xiaoxiao took Nandao to various places of the Little White Sword Sect to look at it again, so that he was familiar with it, but it was just a small courtyard surrounded by osmanthus trees, and there was no library pavilion, after all, it was just the Little Sword Sect.
But there is a hidden sword courtyard, but there are not a few swords left, but there is an IOU under each sword.
Nandao took a quick look, and the content was about the same.
ββThe Tianya Sword Sect borrowed a sword in the five hundred and forty-third year of the Great Wind Calendar, and he became successful in the day and returned it twice. Jiang Chunzi.
The name of the inscription should be the name of the previous sect masters of the Tianya Sword Sect.
When he arrived at the back, he became Wu Dalong.
Nandao was a little speechless.
It wasn't until he finished visiting the Sword Sect that Lu Xiaoxiao took the two of them to sit down on the edge of a higher osmanthus forest cliff behind the Sword Sect.
This thirty-year-old little sword cultivator seemed to be very sad, but there was some hope in those sorrowsβwhen she looked at the South Island.
"When I was young, when I was still chased by my master every day, I actually thought that the hope of Lingnan may not lie in me."
Lu Xiaozhu, still a little embarrassed, looked at Nandao and Le Chaotian, and then looked at the autumn wind and fallen leaves on the mountain, lowered his head, and continued.
"But then I also accepted my fate, people like us may be extremely poor all our lives, but we are just under the trail."
Lu Xiaoxiao whispered and looked at Nandao again.
"It doesn't matter if the junior brother wants to be in the Tianya Sword Sect, or in the Xiaobai Sword Sect, or if he goes to another Sword Sect in Lingnan."
Lu Xiaoxiao laughed and looked up at the clear and high autumn sky, and there were maple leaves blowing down in the canyon.
"As long as the junior brother is in Lingnan, the hope of Lingnan will always be in the junior brother."
Nandao looked at Lu Xiaoxiao in a daze.
Maybe for a moment, he was also infinitely moved.
Tell sir, I'm not going to Grinding Sword Cliff.
But the impulse of the moment will naturally be quickly blown away by the chilly morning breeze of September.
Nan Dao just said lightly but seriously:
"Good"
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard this, she smiled brightly and felt that the autumn breeze was fast.
When floating a big white.
