Chapter 22 The brook does not hear the bell at noon
Nandao took the wine gourd with grass as a firefly, took a big sip of wine, and then said: "Could it be that the poor and the blue fall into the Yellow Spring?" ”
Cao Weihotaru just smiled and stuffed back the swords that Nandao had pulled out, but said nothing and headed towards the sky.
Nandao followed curiously with an umbrella.
"Isn't it really?"
Grass shook her head and said, "Of course not. ”
Nandao pondered the great lake in the whole Heavenly Town.
The whole town should be on top of a high cliff, so it can also be understood that it is in the sky, and to go to the bottom of the lake is to go to the world.
But after passing through those aquatic plants, the original earth became a sword dome, and after the sword dome was the earth, and the earth led to the bottom of Lingnan.
Nan Dao looked up at the gap in the sky above his head, and asked, "Go back from here, is it still Lingnan?" ”
Grass shrugged and said, "I don't know. ”
Nandao was silent for a moment.
I still haven't figured out how Heavenly Town is connected to the sword-throwing pool.
I just thought about it for a long time, but I suddenly remembered the first solution of the Tianya Sword Sect Sword Dao that I saw in the Hanging Courtyard a long time ago.
raised his eyebrows, looked at the grass in front of him, and said, "Could it be that this is really the end of the world?" ”
In the world, the sword is at the end of the world, and it comes and goes when it is called.
This is the sword cultivation concept of the Tianya Sword Sect.
It's a pity that something went wrong in the middle.
The problem lies here in the heavenly town where the grass is fireflies.
After Nandao asked that question, Kusa Hotaru stopped, turned around and took the wine gourd back from Nandao's hand, and then continued to move forward while drinking.
The South Island followed for some unknown reason.
The two of them walked for an unknown amount of time, but they came to the edge of the land with the hilt of the sword.
There are a number of swords, so the big ones also have a range.
There were still countless swords hanging down on the edge, like cliffs, but what flowed down the cliff was not a clear stream, but the water of heavenly light.
Maybe it will turn into a clear stream, and it will become the water of the great river that Le Chaotian sighed a few days ago.
Nandao stood on the edge of the cliff of ten thousand swords, looking down, there were clouds and mist below, nothing could be seen, and looking into the extreme distance of the sky, there seemed to be many bright lines entwined into a whirlpool, maybe it was smoke and dust, maybe it was the foam of the galaxy.
"There are no borders in the East China Sea." Cao Weiying did not answer the conjecture of the end of the South Island, but suddenly said such a sentence.
Nandao turned his head to look over, only to see the young man in green clothes drinking quietly and squinting into the distance.
"There is no way to the East China Sea."
Nandao frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"The East China Sea is 490,000 miles, as long as you can cross the East China Sea in the middle of the world by boat, even if it is a world, you can appear at the very end of the East China Sea in an instant."
The grass chuckled softly for Hotaru.
But Nandao didn't understand what that laughter meant.
"Why?"
Cao Weiyi drank wine and said softly: "All space and time outside the scope of the narrow human world are chaotic. ”
Nandao finally understood something.
"So this is indeed the town of heaven, but there will also be some ways to reach the world, the end of the world may be at the end of the world, or it may be around the world - people are at the end of the world, how can the end of the world be far away?"
Cao Weiying said with a smile: "Of course that's the case, otherwise why do you think those people would be so happy to throw so many swords here?" ”
Nandao was silent for a while, and said, "Then why doesn't the sword respond when it arrives here?" ”
Nandao thought it was because Heavenly Town was not on earth, but now that I think about it, it shouldn't be like this.
As she drank her wine, she seemed to remember something interesting, and said with a smile, "Because they neglected the most important part." ”
"What is it?"
"Give the sword a name."
Grass looked down at the ground beneath her feet, and two swords flew out.
One is called Xiwu, and the other is called the bell that is not heard.
"Creek Afternoon..... Don't smell the bell. ”
Nandao subconsciously read.
So the two swords pierced the skylight, dragging the sword intent, and surrounded Nandao's body.
"The end of the world is very close, but it is also very far away, and they don't even have a name, how can they go back?" Grass said with a chuckle.
Lingnan sword cultivation has never had the habit of giving names to swords.
Famous swords often come from the three major sword sects in the world, or those sword sects in the East China Sea.
Lingnan's sword has never had a name.
So that whim, maybe it was the ancestor of the Tianya Sword Sect who guessed something, was indeed right.
The sword is at the end of the world, and it will come in an instant.
But he forgot to leave a name among the swords that were thrown.
So thousands of years followed, and those countless long swords fell silent in the sword lake where the grass was fireflies.
Although the grass engraved their names for Hotaru, no one in the Tianya Sword Sect really knew about it.
Nandao was silent and suddenly stood on the edge of the sky, looking at the endless hilt of the sword at his feet.
sighed and said: "So that's the case, so it seems that those masters and ancestors of the Tianya Sword Sect do have something." ”
But there are not many things.
So I didn't even think of such a fatal mistake.
"So anyone can use these swords as long as they know the name of the sword?" Minamijima asked, looking at the grass for Hotaru.
Kusa did not answer, but just raised his head and drank his wine, and looked at Nandao with the eyes of a fool by the way.
“......”
Naturally, Nandao could see that he was despised.
"Okay, but why was I able to trigger these two swords?"
The grass drank wine for Hotaru and walked in the direction it came.
"Because they drank your bathwater."
“......”
Nandao didn't know if Kusa was talking about jumping into the sword throwing pond or if he was referring to the fact that he had once soaked in the sword lake.
Glancing at the two swords beside him, Nandao followed with an umbrella.
"By the way, since you're from that place, when you go back, find two people and ask them to write down the names of these swords." Grass for Hotaru said as she walked in front. "Take them out for a walk when you have time, they have been nested here for a thousand years, and they are going to get moldy."
Nan Dao looked at the swords under his feet, and thought to himself, "Why the hell are you writing so many poems here, just for people to memorize?"
"Bring them from where I came from?" Nandao asked.
"It's not good to come over there." Grass thought for a moment and said, "Come from that cliff." ”
"How did you get here?"
"Jump off."
Nandao was right.
Whether it is the sword-throwing pool of the Tianya Sword Sect or the stream above the Little White Waterfall, it can lead to Heavenly Town.
Probably like the door on the third floor of the library in the original Hanging Temple?
Nandao didn't know if he was able to enter because there was a door there.
Or is it because there is a person there.
In my dreams, I sometimes turn into cranes, and countless grasses in the world are fireflies.
Is this a coincidence, or what, it's still something that no one has broken.
Nandao followed him for a long time, but Cao Weiying turned his head and looked at him with a strange expression.
"What else are you doing with me?"
Nan Dao stood under the umbrella and said confidently: "See how to get out?" ”
Cao Weiying picked up the wine gourd and gave it to Nandao.
Boom, good sound is good head.
"How you get out!"
When Nandao heard this, he looked up at the gap in the skylight, sighed, and said, "Okay." ”
Nandao turned around and walked for a while, looked back at the grass and said, "I find that you are not as gentle with me as before. ”
How good the grass used to be for fireflies, soft-spoken, and mild-smiling, how could they knock the head of Nandao with a beard.
Cao Weiying said with a smile: "They are all senior brothers, so naturally they have to suffer a little." ”
"How do you know I'm a senior brother?"
"There is no junior brother behind you, why did you appear here for no reason?"
“......”
It seems to make a lot of sense.
Nandao continued to walk forward, but remembered something again and asked back.
"Is this something that others can know?"
Cao Weiyi just chuckled and said, "Don't raise your voice. ”
Nandao remembered the stone monument outside the town.
Then there was a trance in front of me, but I reappeared in that section of blind water.
That 'door' is indeed under the sword throwing pool.
Nandao looked at the two swords that followed him, and the grass was said that there were two people, and it should be just two people.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have given myself two swords.
Xi Wu, don't hear the bell.
These two swords are not badly named.
Nandao thought as he looked upwards.
Until he floated to the surface of the pool, Lu Xiaoer was still waiting there with his sword, but he seemed to be standing in the opposite direction, standing with his back to Nandao, as if he was looking at the path out in a daze.
Nandao walked behind Lu Xiaoer with an umbrella and a sword, and Lu Xiaoer woke up, turned to look at Nandao and said, "Uncle Shi is back?" ”
Nandao nodded, looked at the little boy and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Lu Xiaoer was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing, did Uncle Shi find the peach blossom?" ”
Nandao didn't ask, just said slowly: "Not yet, but I know where it is." ”
"Okay, uncle."
......
The two of them left the Tianya Sword Sect and headed towards Luofeng Canyon.
Lu Xiaoer has something on his mind, but Nandao is also thinking about the three people in the Tianya Sword Sect, a crazy old man, a simple man who strikes iron, and a junior brother who does everything casually.
No matter how you look at this, you can't pick out two people who come to Heavenly Town to carry the name of the sword.
So Nandao's eyes fell on Lu Xiaoer on the side.
However, the Little White Sword Sect has a candidate.
Lu Xiaoer saw that Nandao had been staring at him, but asked curiously, "What's the matter, Uncle Shi?" ”
Nandao turned back and smiled, saying, "Nothing. ”
In Luofeng Canyon, Le Chaotian was sitting there blowing gourd silk, looking at the sweat on his forehead, he should have just sat down to rest, and Lu Xiaosan was there humming and practicing his sword.
Qingjiao is standing on the edge of the cliff outside the building with a sword on his back, wearing a red dress flying in the autumn wind, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
The confrontation between the two women outside the sword throwing pool naturally no one knew.
Nandao didn't care about her, and took Lu Xiaoer into the canyon.
"Where did Senior Brother go just now?" Le Chaotian stopped, hung the gourd silk on the branch on the side, looked at Nandao's somewhat wet clothes, and asked curiously.
"I'm looking for peach blossoms."
Lu Xiaoer was angry and ran to find Lu Xiaosan to try the sword, Nandao sat down next to Le Chaotian with an umbrella, and put the two swords beside him by the way.
"Looking for peach blossoms? Didn't Senior Sister say that it was blown by the Human Sword Sect? By the way, where did you find two such good swords? As he spoke, Le Chaotian noticed the two new swords beside Nandao, reached out and took them, and put them on his lap to look at them. Don't listen to the bell, Xiwu, this name is okay. ”
Nandao turned his head to look at Le Chaotian, thought for a while, and said, "Is the junior brother interested in memorizing some poems?" ”
Le Chaotian shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't carry it." ”
"Don't you play tunes and sing those things all the time?"
"I learned it when I was a teenager, and now I'm lazy and don't want to memorize it."
"Can I make a big sword cultivator after memorizing it?"
"Then why doesn't Senior Brother carry it?"
Nandao was silent, thinking back to the dense hilt of the sword, and said slowly: "I'm too lazy to memorize, and I may admit some words wrong." ”
Le Chaotian couldn't stop smiling on the side, probably thinking of Nandao who wrote the letter again.
Neither of them wanted to carry it, so Nandao turned to look at the two in the middle of the canyon.
Reciting poems should start from the doll.
"So whoever recites the poem can get these two swords?"
Nandao said sincerely, "You may get more swords." ”
Nandao feels like a sincere human trafficker.
"No amount of swords can impress me." Le Chaotian laughed softly, "Anyway, senior brother, why do you suddenly want to find someone to recite poems?" ”
Nandao sat under the umbrella and thought for a long time, and then said, "I found a well... Uncharted. ”
Before Nandao's words were finished, Le Chaotian laughed and said, "Senior brother, even if you say that this world is a secret realm, it is easy for people to accept it." ”
"There can't be a secret realm in the world?"
"Maybe, but I haven't seen it." Le Chaotian said with a smile, "Although the world sometimes wonders if cultivators are guarding the secret realm every day, digging up genius treasures and cultivating secretly. But there is nothing. Perhaps for cultivators, the biggest secret realm may be the last bowl of noodles in the world when they were teenagers, when they had not yet stepped into the path of cultivation. Then I don't know how many years have passed in the mountains, and the old noodle restaurant has changed its signboard and owner over the years, and it can't find any familiar taste, so the noodle restaurant in my memory has become the biggest secret place - because I can't enter it anymore, senior brother. ”
What Le Chaotian said was very moving.
So Nandao also subconsciously thought about it.
What is your own secret place?
After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that I hadn't gone so far in this world, and probably wouldn't have that kind of sigh.
So Nandao didn't think about it anymore, and continued to look at the two little teenagers over there.
"I want Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan to go." Nandao said slowly.
"To memorize poems?"
"Some sword names, to be exact."
Hearing this, Le Chaotian looked down at the two swords on his knees, and then raised his head thoughtfully, looked at Nan Dao and said, "Did Senior Brother discover the secret of the Tianya Sword Sect?" ”
Nandao whispered, "Yes, a big secret, and it sounds a bit stupid. ”
The ancestors of the Tianya Sword Sect figured everything out, but they missed the name of the sword.
When it comes to the world, it is a joke that can be passed down for dozens of generations.
"Is this something that can be said?" Le Chaotian asked.
Nandao thought for a moment and said, "This can be said quietly. ”
"Why?"
"Because it's too loud to startle the heavens."
Le Chaotian leaned over and said in a suppressed voice, "Then the troublesome senior brother whispered to me." ”
Nan Dao glanced at him and said with a smile: "You don't recite poems, what am I telling you to do?" ”
"That's it." Le Chaotian shrugged and sat back down.
Nan Dao thought about it, there were still some things that could be said, so he said softly: "I have found the sword that the Tianya Sword Sect has lost for thousands of years. ”
Le Chaotian was stunned and asked, "Where is it?" ”
"It's right below the sword-throwing pool."
"Then why haven't they found it, senior brother?"
"Because they forgot to engrave their names."
"That's it?"
Le Chaotian thought it was incredible.
"That's all." Nandao said, whispering five words.
Xi Wu did not hear the bell.
So the two swords that were originally lying quietly on Le Chaotian's knees suddenly burst into cold light, and fell in front of Nandao with sword intent.
For example.
When does the moon come in the blue sky?
So somewhere, on the cliff that the world could not see, there was a sword light rushing out of the clear stream, passing through the green mountains, and falling into the canyon.
Outside the Little Red Mansion, the green pepper that was originally standing in the autumn wind and dancing with a sword suddenly stopped, and turned his head in surprise to look at the two sword lights that fell into the canyon.
The sword intent is clear, and the sword wind is mighty.
It's not like a sword in the world.
Qingjiao looked at it silently for a while, but remembered Lu Xiaoxiao's previous words.
Lingnan is just ordinary, not rotten.
So?
So naturally they can have hope.
So it was.
Green Pepper thought she might have understood something.
But Le Chaotian didn't understand, he looked at the five swords in front of Nandao, and he was very puzzled.
I sing a tune every day, why doesn't there be a sword flying in front of me?
Could it be because someone who carved words into those swords rarely fills in the words?
The sword light in the canyon attracted Lu Xiaoer and Lu Xiaosan over there, and they looked at the five swords in front of Nandao with a look of amazement.
"This is Uncle Shi's sword? So handsome! ”
Lu Xiaosan said with admiration.
Nandao chuckled softly and said, "This is your sword. ”
Lu Xiaoer seemed to understand something, looked at Nandao and said, "Uncle Shi found those swords?" ”
Nandao said slowly, "Yes, and I have a question for you. ”
Lu Xiaoer looked at Nandao, seemed to realize something, and stood very upright.
Nan Dao sat under the umbrella, looked at the two teenagers in front of him, and said softly, "Do you want to become a great sword cultivator in the world?" ”
Whether it was Lu Xiaoer or Lu Xiaosan, they all nodded very solemnly.
Two swords were disconnected from the South Island and fell, plunging into the canyon.
One is called Xiwu, and the other is called the bell that is not heard.
The two swords were quietly inserted in front of the two young men.
Lu Xiaosan was about to raise his hand to hold the sword.
Lu Xiaoer on the side said, "This is the sword of the Tianya Sword Sect?" ”
Nandao whispered, "Yes." ”
Lu Xiaoer didn't take it this time, but stood there looking at the two of them and said, "I'm from the Little White Sword Sect. ”
When Lu Xiaosan heard this, he also withdrew his hand.
Although the Tianya Sword Sect and the Little White Sword Sect have been neighbors for thousands of years, they are still two Sword Sects after all.
Nandao said softly: "Then I'll call my senior sister over." ”
Behind him, Parrot Island headed out of the canyon.
