Chapter 42 Chen He and Nande Song in Luming Town
Deer chirping.
When walking in the wind and snow, Nandequ suddenly missed the iron plate tofu in Nanyi City very much.
Of course, it is also possible to think of some braised pig ears.
It's just that he carries a pair of ears of a big monk in his arms, and Nandequ still tries to avoid thinking about such things.
After all, human thoughts are uncontrollable.
For example, when you see a jade, you will think of jade feet.
But nothing jade will only hurt you.
This was the first time that this southern sword cultivator had come to such a snowy land.
When I was in Nanyi City before, every winter, this disciple who had been in the Sword Sect for more than 20 years would always sigh with emotion, Xue is really fucking big.
It wasn't until I came to this western country that Nandequ felt heartfelt.
Big your grandma's big.
If Nandequ is a person who likes snow very much, he probably sighs in the face of such a world and sighs about the snow in his dreams, but unfortunately Nandequ is not.
He also doesn't have any hobbies, unlike Zhang Xiaoyu who plays cards all night, and like Chen Huaifeng, who is keen on health preservation.
It's just practicing the sword.
Just like picking up a wooden sword in childhood, it is as if he has become the world's number one sword cultivator.
It's just a thirty-six-year-old disciple of the Sword Sect, and he's still just a Nine Realms Sword Cultivator.
Not all fish are called Zhang Xiaoyu.
Not all morning dew is called Cheng Lu.
Nandequ sometimes suspects that his name is because he was too lazy to take it, so he made it casually.
Although the pronunciation of south and lazy is different, after all, it is normal for southerners to not be able to distinguish between them.
This sword cultivator walked in the wind and snow for a long time, and then sighed deeply, stopped on the snowfield path that didn't know where it led, drew his sword out of its sheath, slashed at the mountain rock beside him, and then lit some sword fire.
Maybe it's because he has been in Nanyi City for too long, so this sword cultivator has never had the habit of keeping out the cold with sword intent, so he is obviously a Nine Realms sword cultivator, but Nan Dequ has frozen his feet in the snow.
So Jian Xiu lit the sword fire and sat in the wind and snow that lasted for thousands of years and roasted his feet.
Just sitting and sitting, this sword cultivator's expression became strange, and he turned his head to look at somewhere in the wind and snow.
......
“...... In a blink of an eye, youth is like a dream, and the years are like a shuttle, and I don't hold back at all. ”
"God knows when, where, and why will break up, as long as you can love, you have to love enough."
"I want to fly over the spring, summer, autumn and winter, over thousands of mountains and rivers, and bring you all the intoxication."
"I want to fall asleep with you every day and night, and I won't return after the end of my dream......"
Chen He was singing something nonsense, and on the other hand, he was pushing the Tianyan car, which was too cold to start, and walked in the snowfield.
Just singing and singing, the young man was also stunned.
On the path not far away, there was a sword cultivator who was roasting the fire and looked at him blankly.
The two looked at each other silently for a long time, but Chen He's face showed some joy, and he hurriedly pushed the cart and ran towards the sword cultivator.
"Hey, senior brother, why are you here too?"
Nan Dequ looked at this very eccentric young man, and thought to himself, could it be that you are also a southern sword cultivator?
"You are?"
This thirty-six-year-old Nine Realms Sword Cultivator looked suspiciously at Chen He, who was running with a cart.
But this kid's car seems to be a little familiar, have you seen it in Nanyi City?
Chen He rubbed his hands together and leaned closer to the sword fire in Nandequ.
"When my senior brother was in Nanyi City, I was watching from the city, and I was a miscellaneous worker in the Hanging Courtyard at that time."
Nan Dequ nodded suddenly, but he probably couldn't adapt to the enthusiasm of such a person who was not very familiar. It's just that watching this young man snort while roasting the fire, he probably understands.
After all, in the snow country, there is indeed the greatest truth.
So Nandequ gave way to the side.
Although they are not familiar, after all, they are all from Nanyi City, so they are naturally more cordial.
"What is Senior Brother doing here?"
Chen He looked at Nan Dequ and asked with some curiosity.
Nan Dequ said casually: "Come and find someone." ”
Of course, Chen He wouldn't be bored enough to ask a sword cultivator who he was looking for, so he just sighed as if he knew a lot.
Nan Dequ looked at Chen He, thought about it, and asked, "What about you, what are you doing here?" ”
Chen He didn't know what he remembered, sniffed, and said with a smile: "I used to have a friend in Nanyi City, and he had a very ordinary wish, that is, to see what would happen if he sold sizzling tofu in Luming. ”
Nandequ swallowed and said, "I don't know what will happen to Lu Ming, but I definitely want to eat it a little." ”
Chen He sighed and said, "Although, I found a very serious problem. ”
Nan Dequ frowned and asked, "What's the problem?" ”
Chen He sighed and said, "Luming doesn't have tofu. Or very little tofu. ”
Nandequ was stunned and said, "Why? ”
Chen He looked up to the sky and sighed.
"You can't grow soybeans in this land."
“.......”
"Of course, it can't be said that you can't grow soybeans, but I passed by some towns before, and they said that at least you have to go south, close to the Youhuang Mountains, so that you can have enough climate to grow many things, and there are probably some people who sell tofu there, of course, they don't call it tofu, it's called white jade cuisine, which is a very expensive luxury."
Chen He said in surprise.
"It has been a thousand years since the unification of the Gale Dynasty, and tofu is actually a luxury, it is hard to imagine what Luming was like before."
Although when Chen He was talking about white jade food, it was always easy for Nandequ to think of a certain Taoist overhaul.
It's just that this sword cultivator is also a little amazed at such a thing.
"That's true, but it's normal to think about it, after all, the wind and snow barrier is close to natural danger, and it is far more difficult to cross than Yunmeng Daze. Unless Your Majesty.... Kamigawa is able to make such two places truly no longer separate. ”
I don't know why, when Nandequ talked about Kamigawa, the atmosphere froze a little.
It's just that Chen He can probably understand.
After all, the world has naturally heard of that incident at the beginning.
So Chen He changed the topic very at the right time, stood up, pointed to the front and said, "I heard that there is a town ahead, let's go there and rest for a while." ”
Nan Dequ was silent for a moment, pulled out his sword from the ground, extinguished the sword fire, and nodded.
......
The snowy town is very peaceful.
Shrouded in the vast expanse of snow, most of the people in the town were dressed very bloated, just like the old man who used the night pot as a wine pot in the small town of Huangliang said, Shika Naruto protected his ears well.
No one is like the white-clothed monk sitting on the mountain pass, who has a demeanor and not a temperature.
So much so that he froze to the point that his ears hurt, so he simply cut it and threw it to Nandequ.
Because of the perennial wind and snow, people in the town always have a habit of carrying an oil lamp.
Chen He sometimes looked at those days and thought to himself, although it was always a little gloomy, but you live here all the year round, will you still be uncomfortable?
The pedestrian with the lantern said silently: "I'm afraid that outsiders like you can't see the road clearly, and I will fall headlong, and I will think that my heart is in turmoil." ”
Chen He was silent.
So as soon as he entered the town, Chen He also took out a small oil lamp from Tianyan's car, and hung it on the front of the car very casually, exuding a faint orange light.
However, this gave Chen He some very novel ideas.
Why not hang two oil lamps on the front of the car?
In this way, even if you drive the Tianyan car at night, you won't hit people.
Chen He's eyes lit up, this was indeed a good idea, so Chen He asked Nan Dequ to wait for him on the street for a while, and then ran over, found a shop, bought a few oil lamps and came back, squatted next to the car and tinkered for a while.
Luming's oil cup is naturally covered with a snowproof cover, so even if it is hung on the front of the car, it does not mean that it will be blown out by the wind.
Nande Qu was a strange thing to watch for a long time.
"These two lamps are probably not enough to illuminate."
Chen He explained seriously: "It's just to prevent someone from seeing it and bumping into it." ”
"That's fine."
The two walked into a snow country restaurant, and Chen He, as a person in the world, naturally asked for some wine and baked potatoes.
It wasn't until he had eaten something that Chen He finally felt much better.
After all, the temperature is too low, and it is naturally not enough to rely on clothes to keep warm, but also to rely on the body to be able to dissipate heat.
Maybe it's because of the war.
There were no guests in the inn, Chen He was drinking wine with potatoes there, Nan Dequ was holding a sword and roasting a fire, and the two were silent for a long time.
Chen He thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the person that Senior Brother is looking for in Luming?" ”
Nan Dequ looked at the sword in his hand and said slowly: "In the depths, you may have to go to the side of Jidu to find it." ”
Chen He nodded thoughtfully, and said: "But I heard that there seems to be a war over there, and it is said that it is the 300,000 Qingjia of Nanyi City. ”
Nandequ thought about it, but it was very calm.
"They beat theirs, we just passed by and ......."
It's just that before Nan Dequ finished his sentence, this sword cultivator suddenly looked at the heavy wool curtain of the restaurant, and there seemed to be a figure flashing outside.
Before Chen He could react to what was happening, this sword cultivator had already raised his sword and suddenly walked towards the outside of the restaurant. Scratching his head a little dazedly, Chen He also pinched the uneaten potato, walked to the door of the restaurant, arched the curtain, and looked there.
I saw Nan Dequ standing in the middle of the long street, holding the sword in his hand, looking at the street of Snow Town, which was deserted by pedestrians.
"Did that person just walk over?"
Chen He hesitated a little, looked at him and asked.
Nandequ squinted at the long street for a long time, then shook his head and said in a low voice: "I don't know, it's just ....."
As he spoke, the sword cultivator took out a pair of ears from his arms.
Chen He raised his eyebrows and looked at the pair of ears, always feeling that they seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.
After all, everyone knows each other.
But if you throw a single conjugation, you will definitely not be familiar with it.
Nandequ looked at the ears in his hands.
"This was given to me by a certain senior, and I was here."
Just now, the pair of ears moved uneasily in Nandequ's arms.
At the same time, Nandequ heard a very ethereal voice in his heart.
Probably to look outside the door.
Nan Dequ looked at this Chen He, who was just a world, perhaps realizing that he shouldn't say such a thing to the world, this sword cultivator put the ear back in his arms again, and said softly: "Probably I feel something." ”
Chen He didn't care about Nandequ's half-words, and turned his head to look at the long street where there were not many pedestrians, just the wind and snow howling.
There were many deep and shallow footprints on the ground.
Nandequ also looked at the traces in the snow.
Just before the restaurant, there was a line of fresh footprints that had not yet had time to be covered in snow.
There were apparently no pedestrians walking.
Nan Dequ looked at the line of footprints, narrowed his eyes again, and walked over with his sword in hand, and then was silent for a while, and chased straight along the line of footprints.
Chen He thought about it, turned around and walked back to the restaurant, paid, asked for two more potatoes, wrapped them and stuffed them in his arms, and then took the uneaten potatoes and hurried out of the inn.
Although it is said that you don't drink and don't drive, and you don't drink when you drive, Tianyan's car in the heavy snow really can't drive fast.
The two oil lamps dangle in the snow like the eyes of a lanternfish in the sea.
Chen He hurried away in that direction.
......
Nandequ followed the hurried trail all the way, but went straight out of the town and came to a wilderness land.
The wind and snow are howling everywhere, the sky and the earth are vast, and I don't know where the road lies ahead.
Of course, Luming is not always invisible scenery, sometimes when the wind and snow are relatively small, you can naturally see some distant snow-capped mountains.
It's just a pity that this is not the case now.
Even though this was a Nine Realms sword cultivator, he didn't rashly turn into sword light to travel through the wind and snow.
The footprints are still moving forward, but when they are in the wild, they are a little looming.
Nande Qu Shangzi was following the footsteps of that line, but there was some sound of rolling snow behind him.
Holding the sword and turning around, he found that it was Chen He who was driving the Tianyan car, and the two oil lamps were still dangling in front of the car - as Chen He said, hanging two oil lamps, when the car was not out of the snow, it could be seen.
Nan Dequ hesitated, probably worried that Chen He would bump into him, so he said, "I'm here." ”
So the two oil cups that were dangling in the snow slowly slowed down and stopped behind Mei Quming.
"Did you find anything?"
Chen He took the extra oil lamp he had bought from the car and handed it to Nandequ, who took it and shook his head calmly.
The footprints ahead are almost invisible.
Nandequ was naturally hesitating at this time whether to continue to pursue.
After all, from the previous repeated movements of holding the sword, it was enough to see that this sword cultivator was very cautious.
After all, he wasn't looking for anyone else.
It was a certain senior brother of the former Sword Sect.
A demon cultivator brother more than 400 years ago even killed Qing Xiang on the Youhuang Mountain Range.
Naturally, there are many worries in mind.
It's just that the two of them are still staying in the wind and snow, and the meaning of the wind and snow in this world seems to have gradually subsided.
Gradually, in the snow in the distance, the outlines of many mountains and rivers were revealed.
And it was only then that the two discovered that in this snowy wilderness, there were many pedestrians walking with lanterns in the snow.
Before he saw anyone, he saw a rather warm orange light.
Both of them subconsciously looked at their oil lamps, probably in the snow, there was such an oil lamp, which was indeed a very necessary thing.
It's just that obviously now is not the time to think about these things.
Although the people in the wind and snow were scattered, they all went in the same direction, due north.
Nan Dequ frowned and looked over there for a long time.
Chen He also looked over there curiously.
Although the people in the wind and snow can't see their figures clearly, in terms of appearance, at least they are people and not ghosts, because in terms of vague form, they are all rickety, like a rather fat snow bear.
Such a posture naturally means that it is very frozen.
Chen He also subconsciously shrank back.
On the contrary, Nande Qu has always had sword intent around his body, but his long body is particularly abrupt and stands in the wind and snow.
Chen He looked at the direction in which the pedestrians were going, and it seemed to be the same as the direction that the two of them had come all the way, so he thought for a while and said, "Do you want to go to the front and ask them?" ”
Nandequ was silent for a moment and nodded.
Only then did Chen He see this Sword Sect disciple let out a long breath, his body was steaming, obviously he was extremely nervous before.
After all, the wind and snow are vast, and no one knows what will be encountered ahead.
Chen He pushed the cart and Nandequ in the direction of those distant pedestrians.
"What are you chasing out for?"
On the road, Nandequ looked at Chen He a little strangely.
The latter smiled, looked at Feng Xue and said, "After all, Senior Brother is a very powerful sword cultivator, if you can go all the way, you can naturally avoid some troubles." ”
For example, if he encounters a battle that has not yet been fought, Chen He is naturally at a loss.
But Nandequ is very calm, they beat theirs, and we go ours.
Different people naturally need different ways to travel.
The deer song is very suitable for walking in a group.
Otherwise, if you accidentally get buried in the snow one day, no one will help erect a monument.
Nan Dequ looked at Chen He and said, "So you also want to go to the depths of Luming?" ”
Chen He said sincerely: "After all, it's rare to come to Luming, so you can't turn around and leave because this land lacks soybeans." The world is so big, you have to look around. ”
Nan Dequ looked at Chen He with envy.
Although the disciples of the Sword Sect are also chic sometimes, it is clear that in some stories, they are also involuntarily.
After all, it is the Human Sword Sect.
.....
"You mean there's a temple in the mountains ahead?"
Chen He looked at the passer-by in the forest who had wrapped himself tightly with some suspicion, and asked with some disbelief.
"That's right."
The man said as a matter of course.
Chen He then raised his head and looked ahead, but unfortunately although the wind and snow were smaller, the world was still blank, a piece of snow white, up and down, probably still unable to see where there was a mountain temple.
Nan Dequ was also looking there, and Jian Xiu's gaze was much better, after all, he couldn't see it, and he could have sword intent to leave his body.
"There is indeed a temple."
This sword cultivator said softly.
At the edge of the wind and snow in the distance, Nandequ faintly saw the outline of a temple looming on the mountainside of the wind and snow.
"Sincerity is there."
The passer-by said such a sentence very reverently.
