What Chen He is doing, Nandao naturally has no way of knowing.

When he left Heavenly Town and walked through the mountain snow to return to the canyon, he found that Lu Xiaoxiao and the others were all standing on the cliff outside the canyon.

"Senior sister, what are you doing here, do you want to see the snow?"

Nanjima asked, puzzled, as he walked over.

A group of people looked back at Nandao who was walking from the other side of the canyon, and Qing Jiao, who was standing in the middle of the crowd with a sword, had a gentle voice today.

"No, it's sending me."

Nandao was stunned for a moment, then walked to the middle of the crowd with an umbrella, looked at the woman in red for a long time, and then asked, "Are you going back to the East China Sea?" ”

Qingjiao turned his head, looked at the snow outside the cliff, and said slowly: "Yes." ”

Nandao was silent for a while, looking at Lu Xiaoxiao on the side, but he didn't know what to say.

Qingjiao quietly looked at Lingnan Snow Mountain, and said softly: "I stayed in the canyon, mainly because I was entrusted by my predecessors to protect you here for a while, but you have been able to defeat me now, so naturally you no longer need such protection." And ....."

Qingjiao looked at Lu Xiaoxiao and the others on the side, and his face was a little guilty.

"A place like Lingnan is not cold enough, and it is easy to make people think crankily - living here is too much like the world, and it is inevitable that there will be many other thoughts."

Although she looked a little guilty, maybe it was because she was talking about Lingnan's shortcomings.

However, today's Lu Xiaoxiao did not refute, but nodded approvingly.

"Yes."

The two women, who had been at odds with each other, looked at each other quietly for a long time, then each chuckled and turned their heads away.

Nandao remembered what Le Chaotian had said earlier - she was walking towards pain.

"This is what you realized after your failed breakthrough?"

Green Pepper said softly, "Yes." ”

The cliff side fell silent.

Nandao looked at Le Chaotian not far away, but this junior brother didn't say anything today, just stood there with a slight smile.

The five little ones were clustered together and stood behind Lu Xiaoxiao.

Wu Dalong held a sword in his hand - it looked like it was freshly made.

Seeing that this Donghai sword cultivator had indeed made up his mind, Wu Dalong didn't persuade him to say anything after the New Year, but just handed over the sword.

"Although you only lived outside the canyon after you came, you did us some favors after all." When Wu Dalong arrived at this time, he was a little not very good at speaking, and he was confused, Lu Xiaoxiao on the side glared at him, snatched the sword over, handed it to Qingjiao, and said with a smile: "This sword was knocked by Dalong himself, and we don't have any good things here, since everyone is a sword cultivator, let's give you a sword as a parting gift." ”

Qingjiao smiled softly, but did not refuse, took it, nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

The sword is naturally just an ordinary sword, not taken out of the sword throwing pool, and there is no engraved name, probably a sword that is only meant to be commemorating.

The group of people stood on the edge of the cliff for a long time, and probably there was nothing more to say, maybe they had said it for a long time, and they were just waiting for Nandao to come back.

After a long silence, Qingjiao held the two swords in his hands, looked at everyone and said, "Then I'll go." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, and Qingjiao turned around and walked towards the mountain road below the canyon.

Nan Dao suddenly remembered something, and said, "Senior sister, wait a minute, I'll send you." ”

Then he turned around and walked towards the little red building, and soon walked out, holding a string of money bells in his hand, probably hanging under the eaves of Le Chaotian.

"My junior brother said that living in the world, whether it is the world or the cultivators, it is always happier to have money than not to have money."

Nandao handed over the money bags and said sincerely, "It's better to walk on the road with more money." ”

Le Chaotian on the side said with a smile: "This is the truth. ”

Qingjiao glanced at the smiling junior brother, and then said softly, "Okay." ”

Then the two walked down the mountain path.

Lu Xiaoxiao instructed Nandao in the back.

"Come back early, junior brother, and steam bacon to eat tonight."

Nandao nodded, holding an umbrella and walking in the snow with green peppers.

The two of them walked a long way, out of the mountain gate of the Tianya Sword Sect, and walked on the mountain snow path, Qingjiao looked at the weeping snow branches on both sides, and laughed softly: "You want me to bring a letter." ”

Nandao walked under the umbrella and said with some embarrassment: "Yes." ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom, probably written in a hurry when he had just gone upstairs.

Qingjiao looked at the letter and said as she walked, "What did you write this time?" ”

Nandao whispered, "Happy New Year, peace and well." ”

It is a very simple and beautiful blessing.

Green Pepper took the letter from Nandao's hand, but gave Nandao a strange look.

"Senior sister, what do you think of me like this?"

Qingjiao put away the letter and said softly: "It's nothing, it's just that if you write something like this, I'm going back to the East China Sea Sword Sect for the New Year." ”

Nan Dao was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you plan to go back for the New Year before?" ”

"That's not true, I'm just thinking about it, but it's okay to go back to this year with peace of mind and start all over again."

Green pepper breathed a sigh of relief.

I guess when I thought about leaving, I was really hesitating.

Nandao nodded, looked at Qingjiao and said gratefully, "Thank you, senior sister." ”

Probably because it was not very early, the two of them took the sword wind and headed in the direction of the Listening Wind Sword Sect.

Although Lingnan is still in a state of mountain closure, it is probably because things have almost been settled, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, nominally the mountain is closed, but in fact, it is much more relaxed.

Qingjiao naturally wants to go to Tingfeng Creek to say goodbye to Tingfeng Yin before leaving.

Fengqi Ridge can be across the north and south, and it is naturally a large mountain range, but after all, the two of them are sword cultivators, and they also have some thoughts of hurrying, but they also quickly passed through a large area of mountain snow and appeared by the side of Tingfeng Creek.

Listening to the wind yin, he was cooking wine with Gu Shanhong on the stream.

Because of the approaching New Year, there is no sword cultivator by the stream here to listen to this sword cultivator tell some messy stories, but it is also very quiet.

Seeing Nan Dao and Qing Jiao suddenly arrive, the two were a little surprised, looked at Nan Dao and said with a smile: "It's not going to be a big New Year, and it's going to be a New Year's Day, and the Scattered Pavilion is also going to be a New Year." ”

Green Pepper saluted the two.

"I really want to send a letter, but I'm here to deliver it, and I came here today to say goodbye to the two seniors."

Listening to the wind and was stunned for a moment, Gu Shanhong didn't have any ideas, just sat on the bridge, drenched in the wind and snow and drank wine - after all, although Qingjiao said that he was saying goodbye to the two seniors, in fact, Gu Shanhong was not familiar with this East China Sea sword cultivator. Yiye just picked up his glass and nodded with a smile, and then drank to himself.

Hearing the wind yin, he was naturally a little surprised, and after being stunned for a while, he looked at Qingjiao suspiciously and said, "Why do you suddenly want to go back?" ”

Qingjiao smiled softly, walked up to the bridge, sat down by the stove where the two were cooking, put the sword in his hand aside, lifted the flask on the stove and added a glass of wine to the empty glass of Listening to Feng Yin.

"Because Lingnan is a beautiful and comfortable place that can kill people's will, it is probably not suitable for someone like me to stay here for a long time."

Listening to Feng Yin, he always felt that this sentence was a little weird, and then he noticed the somewhat sluggish sword intent aura around Qing Jiao's body, and seemed to understand something.

"Did you fail to break through?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Shanhong also looked at it.

Qingjiao just looked normal and said, "Yes." ”

Listening to the wind was silent for a moment, and then sighed softly, "I'm sorry. ”

Qingjiao said puzzledly: "What do you want to apologize for?" ”

Gu Shanhong chuckled on the side and said, "After all, it was Lingnan who delayed you. ”

Probably under the influence of that happy person, Qingjiao also said a little freely at this time: "The seniors didn't force me to stay at the beginning, the choice was made by myself, and the two seniors naturally don't have to feel guilty." ”

Green Pepper also looked at Nandao, who was holding an umbrella at the head of the bridge.

"Senior brother, you too."

Nandao nodded slightly.

"But I have a question for my seniors."

Listening to Feng Yin, he probably guessed what Qingjiao wanted to ask, but he still nodded and said, "What's the question?" ”

Qingjiao lowered his head, looked at the fire in the snow, and said softly: "Seniors really don't know where Chen Qingshan is?" ”

Listening to the wind and said calmly, "I don't know, I haven't heard the wind." ”

Then he hesitated a little, looked at Qingjiao and said, "The last time he appeared, it was in the East China Sea." ”

Qingjiao said slowly: "Is it the time when Senior Brother Zhang Xiaoyu climbed the cliff to ask the sword?" ”

"Yes, he is the Taoist in that story, who almost killed Zhang Xiaoyu in the East China Sea."

Qingjiao didn't say anything more, nodded and said, "Thank you seniors." ”

The three of them sat on the bridge for a while, and when Tingfeng Yin and Gu Shanhong had finished drinking the wine in the cup, the red-clothed woman from the East China Sea Sword Sect refilled another glass for each of them, and then turned the heaven and earth vitality into a wine glass, poured a glass for herself and Nandao, raised her glass and laughed softly: "Farewell from now on....."

Listening to the wind and said with a slight smile: "I'll see you when you listen to the wind." ”

"It's okay to meet again when you listen to the waves."

Gu Shanhong looked at the woman from the East China Sea Storm Sword Sect and said.

The four of them raised their glasses and drank.

The woman in red abandoned her cup and lifted her sword.

A few people watched quietly by the bridge, and a red dress flew in the wind and snow, until they walked far to the north, and then turned into a sword light and disappeared.

"Who is Chen Qingshan?"

Nandao, who had been standing quietly under the umbrella, suddenly looked at the two and asked such a question.

This was the first time he had heard this name, and he probably understood the meaning of the woman in red looking back at Qingshan when he asked who the person Qingjiao was going to kill.

Chen Qingshan.

Listening to the wind and whispering: "He is the eldest disciple of the original Shanhe Guanshan Sect, Zhang Xiaoyu's senior brother, and later for some reason, he joined the River Sect, and the River Sect over the years is in the hands of Chen Qingshan." ”

Nandao was just curious about who such a person who wanted to kill Zhang Xiaoyu and Qingjiao was also Qingjiao, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.

"I see."

Nandao spoke calmly.

Listening to Feng Yin, he looked at Nan Dao quietly and said: "I know that you have been hunted down by the people of the River Sect, but don't try to do stupid things, Chen Qingshan is an extremely outstanding Taoist cultivator among the younger generation, whether it is Chen Huaifeng or Zhang Xiaoyu, they will not be his opponents......"

Nandao whispered, "I know, I just think it's a coincidence. ”

Fate is naturally more than just your comings and goings.

It is also the intersection of the same water.

"There is no such thing as a coincidence." Gu Shanhong, who was on the side, said softly: "If you have listened to the wind by the stream for many years, you will find that the intersection between people will only be separated by six people at most. ”

Nandao said suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”

Listening to Feng Yin chuckled softly and said, "It means that you only need to go through six people at most, and you can know anyone in the world." ”

Nandao was puzzled and said, "Why is this happening? ”

Listening to the wind and laughing: "Living in the world, everyone has an inevitable connection. ”

This is naturally heard by listening to the wind, not playing Genshin Impact.

"So don't think that this is a fateful thing, it's just an inevitability in the world." Listening to Feng Yin, he was very serious.

Nandao didn't continue to ask, nodded his head, and said, "I understand." ”

Gu Shanhong diverted the topic, looked at Nandao and said, "How are the peach blossoms blooming there?" ”

Nandao looked at Gu Shanhong and said, "It's very good." ”

"Come?"

Gu Shanhong said with a smile.

"Okay."

It's just that before Gu Shanhong's sword was unsheathed, the Parrot Island in the South Island had already turned into a streamer and left.

Gu Shanhong was stunned for a moment and said, "Your sword intent realm, has you progressed so fast?" ”

From listening to Fengxi to Tianya Sword Sect, although it is not far, it will not be a very short distance.

It's just white, and naturally it's impossible to go back and forth with sword light.

Nan Dao said softly: "Because the cultivation realm has fallen recently, but it happens to refine some sword intent realms, and it ....."

The young man under the umbrella looked at the wind and snow outside the umbrella and said slowly: "When the wind and snow are blowing, my sword intent will be stronger." ”

When I was in the canyon, Nandao borrowed the fine snow in the world and entered the white clothes on the cliff.

Wind and snow are something that Nandao may need to avoid for the rest of his life, but it is also a heaven and earth creation that is quite in line with his sword intent.

Listening to Feng Yin and Gu Shanhong both nodded thoughtfully.

Parrot Island soon went and returned, carrying a snow-white peach blossom on his sword.

Gu Shanhong didn't clean it up, and directly threw a whole branch into the wine jug on the stove.

Nandao didn't fight with the two of them for those peach blossom wines, but just heated his own wine pot on the stove, and then stood up with an umbrella, said goodbye to the two sword cultivators who were drenched in snow and boiled wine, and walked along the clear stream in the direction of the Tianya Sword Sect.

Gu Shanhong and Tingfeng Yin sat on the bridge of the stream and snow, quietly watching the young man who was holding an umbrella and carrying a sword.

After listening to Feng Yin and looking at it for a long time, he turned his head to look at Gu Shanhong, and said with a soft smile: "Senior brother seems to be very envious. ”

Gu Shanhong turned his head, poured a glass of hot wine, drank it with a sigh, and said, "If I am given such a bizarre entry speed, even if I suffer some hardships, I will feel that it is worth it." ”

Gu Shanhong used such a very amazing word as bizarre, probably there was indeed some unattainable emotion in his heart.

Listening to the wind chanting, he just chuckled softly and didn't say anything.

Gu Shanhong said curiously: "Senior brother is not envious? ”

Listening to Fengyin, he shook his head and said very calmly: "I don't envy." ”

Gu Shanhong pondered for a while and said, "Then I don't envy it anymore." ”

The half-old Jian Xiu with white hair on his sideburns raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Shanhong.

"Why?"

"Senior brother has heard so many rumors, and he is not envious, but if he thinks that there is a big problem, he probably can't be envious."

Gu Shanhong said with a slight smile.

Tingfeng Yin picked up the wine glass and said softly, "Yes." ”

.......

When Nan Dao returned to the Tianya Sword Sect, a group of people had been waiting in the small building for a long time.

It was already the evening of the 28th.

Lu Xiaoxiao was setting up a big pot in the big stove in Le Chaotian, and some old bacon that had been left for a long time was cooked in it, and it was still the bacon smoked by the Little White Sword Sect last year.

Originally, I should have smoked some this year, after all, there is a rich junior brother this year, and the first rich will lead the latter to become rich, and everyone will be generous.

It's just that in the last period of this year, the snow is too heavy, and the mountains in Lingnan are closed, so Wu Dalong didn't go down the mountain to the town outside the mountain. Although Lingnan is very close to the world, there is probably no sword cultivator who likes to feed some pigs in the mountains, and even if there is, there will not be many to sell.

But fortunately, because Le Chaotian likes to eat small hot pot before, there are a lot of things in the mountains, and there is no need to worry about being too embarrassed this year.

Aged old bacon naturally has the flavor of old bacon, but Le Chaotian still wants to eat freshly smoked bacon.

It's just that when Lu Xiao wanted to eat and went down the mountain to the town to kill a pig and came back, Le Chaotian still smiled and didn't mention this kind of thing again.

And it's not been a few days, even if you really kill the pig and come back, this year it is designated that you can't eat fresh bacon.

When Nandao walked up to the steaming small building with a snowstorm, Le Chaotian was in cahoots with Lu Xiaosan, talking about how fresh bacon was delicious, which had the meaning of a united front, and Lu Xiaoer was sitting on Wu Dalong's side with a little weak heart, Lu Xiaosi and Lu Xiaowu looked at the pot with blank eyes, and Lu Xiaoyi was helping Lu Xiaoxiao.

was still happy, but when I saw Nandao coming back from a snowstorm, I was inexplicably a little disappointed.

Naturally, it was not because of Nandao, but because of a certain East China Sea sword cultivator who had already left.

Although the green pepper was in the mountains, there was not much communication with other people.

But after all, the small wooden house was built little by little, collapsed by the wind and snow, and built little by little, plus the red clothes were particularly conspicuous, and it still left some impressions in the hearts of several young people.

Facts have proved that what they were worried about at the beginning, whether to call green peppers to celebrate the New Year together, will not happen at all.

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, that sword cultivator went back to the East China Sea alone.

However, this mood only spread for a moment, and when Lu Xiaoxiao opened the lid of the pot, he was washed away by the aroma of steamed bacon that gushed out in an instant.

The little boys all sat obediently by the stove, Nandao also sat down next to Le Chaotian, and Lu Xiaoxiao stood by the stove, wiping the sweat from the roast on his forehead, while inserting the bacon inside into it with chopsticks and picking it into smaller pieces of meat.

Because of the reason of waiting for the South Island, the bacon has been steamed for a long time, and it is quite soft, but it also has the inherent firewood feeling of bacon.

Le Chaotian sat there upright, and pushed back the bowl with chili powder handed over by Lu Xiaosan with a smile.

Lu Xiaoxiao finished his busy work, so he picked up the bacon in it and put it on a large plate surrounded by everyone, and shouted with a smile.

"Eat bacon!"
