Chapter 9: Climbing the Cliff One Thousand and Two

There's nothing you can really walk up by trying to walk up.

Even Zhang Xiaoyu only walked to the diagonal bridge realm at the beginning.

It is still a long distance from the white hair of the original Sword Cliff.

The South Island stopped at 1,200 feet.

It's probably a location that doesn't even count as a mountainside.

It's just that after crossing the first thousand zhang of white clothes, every zhang is extremely difficult and dangerous.

Those sword intents that came from the sloping bridge of the human sword sect master back then poured over the entire sword steps like clouds and mist from thousands of zhang upwards.

With such a world like Nandao, it is extremely difficult to step into the two hundred zhang of the Sword Cliff Diagonal Bridge Realm.

This is also due to the arrival in the white clothes, which has refined the sword intent that this young man under the umbrella has cultivated in the Divine Sea, otherwise Nandao will probably still not be able to set foot in this realm of sword intent.

Nandao's twin swords hovered there, resisting those sword intent that seemed to be a test, and then he looked up with a solemn expression.

For such a teenager, at present, he can probably only come here.

Climbing the cliff for a year is naturally unrealistic.

After all, there has been countless years in the world, and there is only one Tsing Yi.

Nandao took a deep breath and carefully sat down on the sword steps.

The Peach Blossom Sword and the Parrot Island were wrapped in sword intent and hung a foot by their sides.

The young man held an umbrella and calmed down there for a long time, before finally calming down the Shenhai that had just forcibly stepped into the 1,200 zhang and caused some shocks.

It's just that the young man's mind is a little difficult to calm down.

The heart was beating rapidly in the chest, and there was a faint feeling of suffocation.

This made the teenager's breathing rapid.

It may still be early in the world, and the light that comes through the clouds is lazy and cold, with many blurry pillars of light, quietly sprinkled on the young man's body.

Will the gentleman blame himself?

Nandao suddenly thought of such a question.

He was very worried.

I remembered the picture of the figure in the clouds turning away on the sixth day of the third month, only for him to continue sharpening his sword.

It was only in the next moment that the young man suddenly raised his head and looked deeper into the clouds.

There was not a single figure of a woman in a white dress there, but a cyan bamboo leaf slowly passed through thousands of sword intents and fell on this sword step.

The cyan bamboo leaf fell in front of Nandao.

The young man under the umbrella looked at the bamboo leaf quietly, there was no handwriting on the leaf, just a fresh, dewy bamboo leaf.

Maybe something else.

For example, sword intent.

A touch of sword intent.

The bamboo leaves are slender and straight, and may also be used as a sword.

With such a sword in his hand, the boy might be able to climb the cliff and go.

Nandao raised his hand to pick up the bamboo leaf, and the parrot island and the peach blossom sword around him couldn't stop whispering.

There was indeed a hint of sword intent on it.

When the young man held the bamboo leaf, the sword intent that permeated the sword steps gradually lowered, like some dust, and gradually fell on the stone steps, and the clouds and mist dissipated a little, and there was a path that went all the way to the upper level.

It's just that the boy didn't stand up, but just put the bamboo leaf on his knees.

Then bow down.

"Sir, the South Island stops here today."

Nandao said softly.

There was no response from the cliff.

There was no woman in a white dress walking down like that.

Nandao sat there quietly, and after a long time, the young man smiled softly and said, "I know what Mr. meansβ€”since you don't want to go up the cliff, there is naturally no need to meet." Cliff on cliff and cliff down, heaven and earth. ”

The smile in the young man's eyes was clear, and there were no tears in the dilemma.

It's like really facing such a story that has been going for a year.

It's just that some decisions are naturally tough.

Otherwise, the boy would not have sharpened his sword at the mountain gate for so long.

When he first heard the name Mojian Cliff, maybe the boy didn't understand what these three words represented.

It's just that it should have been clear later.

It's a prison that will last a lifetime.

Prison is not a high cliff.

It's the people on the cliff.

After the young man finished speaking, he also restrained his smile, left the bamboo leaf on the sword steps, stood up very calmly, and then saluted again.

"I won't write any more, and I'll see you later, sir."

Nandao straightened up, looked up at the depths of the misty cliff for a long time, then turned away and walked quietly down the cliff.

.....

On the top of the high cliff, on the side of the turbid sword platform, there was a woman in a white dress holding the hair of the first time she saw the world, standing there quietly looking at the long steps.

The boy picked up the bamboo leaves, and the boy put them down again.

This woman, who climbed the cliff on the first day of the first month of the year 1004 of the Great Wind Calendar, just looked at it quietly and without waves.

The boy turned away.

So the hair was blown away by the mountain wind, like some letter paper that was blown by the mountain wind.

The hairpin turned into a sword, fell down, and fell again into his hand.

Teenagers certainly don't spend their lives reckless and brave, chaotic and stupid.

And rightfully so.

The woman in the white dress stood quietly in the high cliff wind, then turned and walked away, walked to the edge of the turbid sword platform, sat down there, and put the sword on her lap.

He closed his eyes calmly.

......

"What are you afraid of?"

Peach Blossom's figure was beside the young man who was heading down the cliff.

Nandao whispered, "I don't know what I'm afraid of. The boy lived under an umbrella, and finally came to the bottom of the cliff, but found that as long as he stood on the cliff, he could not hold such an umbrella. That might be a good ending. But I felt terrified. ”

Nandao looked up and looked at the umbrella in his hand quietly.

"I don't know the difference between standing under an umbrella and standing on a cliff."

So perhaps at the beginning, when the boy put down the umbrella and put it up again, some of the decisions were already clear.

Or perhaps, if it weren't for the cold conversation with Cao Weiying in Heavenly Town.

The boy probably wouldn't be so frightened.

Nandao's head looks up as if he is looking at an umbrella, and it is also like looking at the clouds outside the umbrella, the blue sky outside the clouds.

The clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle.

And the boy is on the cliff.

"Someone is watching me."

The color in the young man's eyes was very calm, and he even raised his hand to point to the sky as if he was enthusiastically giving directions to someone he didn't know.

"It's right there. I need to hide everywhere I go. Unless I'm standing on a cliff. ”

The young man laughed.

"I stood on the cliff, and he let me go."

Peach Blossom stood silently beside the boy.

The young man lowered his head and turned his head to look at the peach blossoms on the side.

"Haven't you really been to this Sword Cliff?"

Peach Blossom said calmly: "No, I don't have to lie to you about anything, I am also Nandao, what decision you will make, I will also do it." I have no reason to lie to you. Unless....."

The bright peach blossom swaggered across the face of the man in white.

"Unless I've been seriously chopping off a lot of things, too."

Nandao turned his head and looked at the way down the cliff.

"Perhaps. So that's probably why you or I chose to take another path that was not accepted by the world. ”

Peach Blossom stood there quietly.

Nandao didn't say anything more, and quietly headed down the cliff.

The spring under the cliff is bright, the spring grass under the cliff is gently shaken, the spring water under the cliff is cold, and the spring breeze under the cliff is soft.

Nandao stopped at the bottom of the cliff, turned to look at Peach Blossom and whispered, "Where is the sword?" ”

So a small peach blossom sword appeared in front of the man in white.

There is no sadness or joy on the face of the peach blossom holding the sword, there is no emotion, but there is a peach blossom, fluttering in the spring breeze.

Nandao watched quietly for a long time, then raised his hand and landed on the hilt of such a small sword.

"Last time, how much did I pull out?"

Peach Blossom said calmly: "I don't remember, maybe it's one inch, maybe two inches." ”

So this time.

The boy pulled out three inches three.

The peach blossoms in the spring breeze are becoming more and more red.

It fluttered like blood.

The young man stood under the umbrella, calmly looked at the sword that was lined with incomparably bright white clothes, and calmly sent it back.

"My heart is on me."

"I can forget myself."

Nandao said slowly.

The peach blossoms were just quietly blown away by the spring breeze.

There seems to be something more in the sea of gods.

Faintly, it came from those streams of vitality all over the land of the Divine Sea, and went towards the Heavenly Dome of the Divine Sea.

Nandao and Peach Blossom appeared together in the sea of gods.

The young man under the umbrella looked up at the air flow that he had never seen before, stretched out his hand, and the air flow fell again, landing on the young man's fingertips.

That touch of air may be just a fine dust in the sea for the young man who is full of vitality in the Shenhai.

However, when the young man touched such a touch of air, a feeling of extreme panic suddenly rose in his heart.

It's like a sword piercing the heart.

Nandao looked at the peach blossoms on the side.

The latter just calmly stretched out his hand and channeled the air current, and several blood marks began to appear on that hand.

"It's something you can use to kill me."

Peach Blossom retracted her hand, and let that air flow rise into the sky dome again, falling into the vast Divine Sea Sky Dome, like a faint starlight.

"But it's too little."

Nandao quietly looked at the peach blossoms.

"You seem to wish I could kill you."

Peach Blossom smiled softly and walked towards the wind and snow grass.

"You must know that the South Island, I am the aggregate of things you did not want to see in the past. I am a vessel of human suffering. To break it is to save you and to save me. ”

......

When Lu Xiaoer came back from the town, You Chunshan was still nested in the grass hut, trying to find the kind of ethereal aura that was ethereal to him.

Lu Xiaoer didn't bother him, and walked over quietly from the side, but when he walked to the edge of his cabin, he was stunned, and then a very happy look appeared on his face, and he walked quickly towards the wooden house.

"Uncle Shi, are you down? Is there any trouble? ”

Lu Xiaoer was still thinking about buying a house in Donghai, so he subconsciously said.

"Uncle Le still has a lot of money, we can go and buy a suit first, as for buying a house, we may have to wait a little longer....."

Nandao, who was sitting under the porch, opened his eyes and looked at Lu Xiaoer silently.

For a moment, Nandao was a little confused.

What strange thing is Lu Xiaoer, this kid talking about?

Fortunately, Lu Xiaoer also reacted as he spoke, how did you kid take what he was thinking about as reality.

So the little boy hurriedly shut up.

"What kind of house to buy?"

Nan Dao raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Xiaoer and asked.

Lu Xiaoer hesitated for a long time before he said, "Isn't it thinking that if Uncle Shi wants to get married in Sword Cliff, he will always ask for some gift money and a house...... Anyway, uncle, have you seen your husband? ”

"......" Nandao was silent for a long time, then turned his head to look at the high cliff, and said calmly, "No." ”

Lu Xiaoer looked at Nandao with some astonishment and asked, "Is she refusing to see you?" ”

When Nan Dao heard this, he was silent for a while, lowered his head, and said slowly: "It's that I didn't go up to see her." ”

Lu Xiaoer said thoughtfully: "That's right, although Uncle Shi is very powerful, he can't go that far." But it doesn't matter, Uncle Shi, we can practice in the East China Sea for a period of time first, and then we can climb more cliffs when we have time, take our time, and we can always ......"

Nandao shook his head calmly and said, "No, I won't climb the cliff in the future." ”

Lu Xiaoer looked at Nandao in a daze and asked, "Why?" ”

Nanjima took a deep breath and stood up with an umbrella, looking at the world where March was gradually passing.

When he first left Lingnan, this teenager probably never thought that the story would go in such a direction.

So he remembered what the white-clothed sword cultivator said when he left.

"Because that's fate, that's where I stand."

Or rather.

"Some things have been staggered too far. When Qiushui left the world, and I was still in Lingnan. It's only now that I understand the meaning of that sentence that Sharpening Sword Cliff won't wait for me for long. ”

When the autumn water leaves the world.

When a woman in a white dress left an unopened letter in Qingzhuju.

It is difficult for people who have already stood on the cliff to return to the world.

Fifteen-year-old boy did not have the ability to climb the mountain gate.

The sixteen-year-old had already missed someone who was sitting on the stone steps waiting.

Of course, fate will always be your miss back and forth.

It's just a teenager who realizes it later.

Lu Xiaoer stood there blankly, not knowing what his uncle was talking about.

Nandao lowered his head, probably not wanting to say such a story again, and turned his head to look at the grass hut in the upper reaches of the clear stream.

"Did the person you said start practicing?"

Although Lu Xiaoer still had some questions, he probably understood that now was not a suitable time to ask, so he also changed the topic, looked at the side, and looked at You Chunshan, who was sitting in the grass shed and immersed in the feeling of qi.

"Not yet, he shouldn't have the talent for cultivation."

Lu Xiaoer said, standing beside his uncle, but let out a long breath, looking a little ashamed.

"I don't know if I'm doing the right thing, I asked him to spend seven hundred wen to buy a wooden sword in the child's hand, trying to exchange some things for his heart or sincerity, because I think maybe some things are mysterious and mysterious, maybe this can really make him a sword cultivator?"

Nandao said calmly: "Things that make sense but don't know the truth are mysterious and mysterious, and a story without reason naturally cannot exist." ”

Lu Xiaoer stood there thoughtfully.

"So I guess I really did something wrong?"

Nandao thought for a while and said, "I don't know, because we don't know about such a thing, whether it makes sense and doesn't know it, or whether it doesn't make sense." ”

"Do I need to return the 700 Wen to him?"

Since he knew that Nandao didn't need to buy a house in the East China Sea, Lu Xiaoer didn't hold on to any money like that.

After all, Uncle Le is right, money is used to make himself happy.

If some money in your arms will become something that makes you feel uneasy, then such wealth is obviously not right.

Nan Dao thought for a while and said, "Forget it, after all, you gave him seven hundred wen, so that wooden sword is equivalent to you buying it and giving it to him." The existence of the wooden sword is meaningless. ”

Lu Xiaoer nodded and said, "Then when one day, he really gives up, I'll give it back to him." ”

The two talked there for a long time, but the young man named You Chunshan finally opened his eyes hungrily, rummaged in the empty grass shed for a while, and ran over weakly with a wooden sword, just about to look at Lu Xiaoer and ask this little brother if he had anything to eat, but when he looked up, he saw a young man standing under the umbrella with a calm expression.

You Chunshan was stunned for a long time, and then held his sword and saluted with some restraint.

"Uncle Shi is good."

A young man who can climb the sword cliff for 1,200 zhang is probably indeed worthy of a senior uncle for many people in the world.

What's more, this young man who still doesn't know what qi feels is.

Nandao nodded.

After all, even Le Chaotian called himself senior brother, and he was able to face it calmly, not to mention others.

Lu Xiaoer stood beside Nandao, looked at You Chunshan and thought for a while and said, "Are you hungry?" ”

You Chunshan nodded.

Although it is probably a shameless thing to always gnaw on a young man, for You Chunshan, this is probably not a helpless thing.

After all, he hadn't caught a fish in a long time.

Eating grass roots will make you dizzy.

If you have dizzy hair, you can't practice.

If you can't practice, you can't stop eating grassroots.....

Lu Xiaoer took out a few copper plates from his arms, thought about it, and took some more.

"You're going to find a way to get three bowls of noodles in that noodle shop."

You Chunshan was obviously a little embarrassed, but when he saw the young man under the umbrella on the side, he seemed to understand something, probably because Lu Xiaoer wanted his uncle to taste the noodles of that noodle restaurant.

So he took the money and turned and headed for the town.

Nandao looked at Lu Xiaoer with some puzzlement.

The latter said very seriously: "There is a very delicious noodle restaurant in the town, and it would be a pity if Uncle Shi couldn't eat it." ”

"Then why is he so embarrassed?"

"Because that noodle shop doesn't sell noodles to Jian Xiu, I heard that it used to be sold, but since the last time the East China Sea was beaten to pieces, he doesn't sell it."

This is probably the reason why it can be said at even the most superficial level.
