After Lu Xiaoxiao left, this sword cultivator was still drinking there quietly.

Of course, he didn't ask for noodles, after all, not everyone loves noodles.

What Cheng Lu loves most, of course, is not to eat, not to eat.

The black-robed sword cultivator drank there for a long time, then put the two swords behind him again, and walked out of the town in the twilight.

Towards the west of the town, the mountains overlap and are verdant in April.

It's not close to the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect, but it's not that far.

Cheng Lu walked quietly in the twilight with the sword on his back.

You can also meet some people who are carrying their bags and heading north - after all, the south will not be able to settle down for a while and a half, so it is naturally better to go north.

Cheng Lu didn't say anything, just walked over with them quietly.

Probably someone will stop and take a curious look at this sword cultivator, I don't know what a sword cultivator is walking so peacefully at such a time.

Cheng Lu acted as if nothing had happened.

He didn't pass through the encirclement of the mountain and river view, and was stopped by the uncle on the way up the mountain.

It's like being in the world all along.

Sometimes it's a little bit of practice, sometimes it's like wandering around.

The original reverie of a certain boy under an umbrella still has meaning - after the empty rain, the sword is practiced among the green mountains, and I don't know where to go.

Although there has been no rain in the south recently, there is no ethereal feeling after the rain in this green mountain.

It's just that the twilight stains the world, and there is a lot of gold in the greenery.

Cheng Lu has been walking for a long time, and finally there are some stone paths in front of him, and there are some sword marks on the road, which are probably the traces left by some sword cultivators who danced with their swords when they walked on them.

There are some moss marks on the edge of the stone path, and there are few people coming and going at first glance.

Cheng Lu walked along the stone path for a long time, and finally saw a mountain in front of him that was not very high.

There are some faint voices in the mountains, and there are some blue-and-white buildings.

And, of course, the sound of swords.

This is the mountain with the most southern flavor.

Because there is a sword sect of a certain sword cultivation group in the Liuyun Mountain Range in the mountain.

Cheng Lu walked up the mountain, crossed the unguarded mountain gate, and then stopped on a weeping willow sword flat, found a stone platform and sat down there with a sword.

The arrival of such a sword cultivator naturally could not go unnoticed.

Soon, the sword cultivators in the Sword Sect rushed over.

First of all, it was a sword cultivator in his forties, around the small Dao realm, the sword cultivators in the sword sect around the Liuyun Sword Sect were naturally bound sleeves and leggings, and it was difficult to have the floating feeling of some sword intent cultivation in the world.

The black-clothed short-haired sword cultivator is near the Liuyun Mountain Range, so naturally he doesn't have to think about it.

As soon as the sword cultivator first met, he saluted very respectfully.

"Senior Brother Cheng."

Cheng Lu was not familiar with this person, so he said very directly: "I want to find someone." ”

The sword cultivator asked suspiciously, "Who?" ”

Cheng Lu raised his head, looked at the sky, and said softly: "A person from Nanyi City." ”

The sword cultivator, who might be the sect master, or maybe the elder of the sect, frowned and thought for a long time.

Cheng Lu naturally didn't come to embarrass people, so he lowered his head and looked at him and added seriously.

"His name is Su Guang."

......

After Su Guang left Nanyi City, he carried his luggage all the way north.

In the beginning, I naturally went to Lingnan.

It's a pity that this shopkeeper Su Shao, who used to play cards on the street with Zhang Xiaoyu all day long, was not very satisfied and stopped in Lingnan.

Su Guang had been wandering around Lingnan for a long time, and when he thought that Zhang Xiaoyu was from the Sword Sect in the world after all, if he mixed up in Lingnan, he would still have it, wouldn't he be crushed everywhere in the future?

So he wandered again, crossed Lingnan, and continued northward.

Originally, this kid was going to go to the East China Sea Sword Sect.

After all, among the three major sword cultivation communities, it is also the most powerful in the East China Sea Sword Sect.

It's a pity that the East China Sea is indeed a little far from the south.

When he walked through Shanyue City, Su Guang was a little tired.

So in the territory of Shanyue, he began to look for some places for sword cultivation as he walked.

When he finally walked to the vicinity of the Sword Sect in the green mountains outside the town, Su Guang didn't want to leave at all.

After all, as a person who plays cards all night all year round, he is still quite young to be able to come here.

But if you are older, if you play cards like this, you will collapse a long time ago.

At that time, I happened to meet a sword cultivator walking down the mountain with a sword on his back, and it was said that he was going to go to Nanyi City to have a look.

So Su Guang was very shameless and entangled with him, and finally gave him helplessness, so he took Su Guang back to his own Sword Sect.

This Zhang Xiaoyu's card partner is also a bit talented, and it is very smooth to start practicing here, plus the reason why he followed Zhang Xiaoyu at the beginning, and he was exposed to it, and it was not a bumpy walk in the early stage, and it was already a sword cultivation in the mountain realm.

When Cheng Lu didn't know why he came to the door, Su Guang was refining his sword intent by the stream in the back mountain.

The Wenfeng Realm Sword Cultivator named Wang Shusheng, who took him to the beginning, was very apprehensive.

After all, Su Guang brought the door by himself, and now the Four Broken Swords of the Liuyun Sword Sect suddenly came to the door, and although his expression was calm, he always didn't feel like a good thing.

After getting the message from Jianping, this sword cultivator was very nervous and ran all the way to the back mountain stream with the sword, and found Su Guang, who was still sitting there and raising the sword.

"Have you done anything lately?"

Wang Shusheng is much older than Su, and naturally he is much older than Cheng Lu, but after all, the realm strength is too far apart, so when he stood by the stream at this time, he was sweating profusely.

Su Guang raised his head blankly, looked at Wang Shusheng, thought for a while, and said, "No, I haven't come down the mountain until now, what can I do?" What's wrong, brother? ”

Wang Shusheng thought about it, it seems that this is indeed the case, although Su Guang's talent is not very good, but he is very hard and diligent, I heard that he used to like to play cards very much, and often lost a mess, but after going up the mountain, he has not seen him play cards once, in addition to daily practice, it is practice, otherwise he will not see the mountain so soon.

This Sword Sect Senior Brother looked at Su Guang with a solemn expression.

"Senior Brother Cheng Lu of the Liuyun Sword Sect is here, and he wants to see you by name, think about it carefully, really didn't do anything?"

A place like the Liuyun Sword Sect is naturally different from the Human Sword Sect.

This is a very traditional place of sword cultivation.

If it was the senior brother of the Sword Sect in the human world who went to Lingnan, the Lingnan Sword Cultivators would naturally not think about what they had committed.

But the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect is different.

Not to mention that this is a killer land that has been known for thousands of years.

It is the style of the sect, which is different from the sword sect in the world.

Although Wang Shusheng got the word and wanted to come over to call Su Guang over, he still wanted to ask things as clearly as possible so that he could deal with it at that time.

This is naturally what this Sword Sect Sect Master means.

When Su Guang heard the news, he also chuckled in his heart, but he just turned his head and thought, what could he do?

He hadn't seen Cheng Lu before, and he hadn't offended anyone from the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect, why did that senior brother suddenly come here to find him?

After thinking about it for a long time, Su Guang suddenly thought of something, and said softly: "I probably know." ”

Wang Shusheng's expression froze.

"What is it?"

Su Guang said silently: "He didn't come to me. ”

“？”

"I used to have a friend named Zhang Xiaoyu."

“！”

Wang Shusheng looked at the not outstanding sword cultivator in front of him in shock.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Su Guang smiled bitterly and said, "At the beginning, I planned to hide secretly, come out again to scare him, and then ...... later."

What was it later, Su Guang didn't say.

Wang Shusheng naturally knew it.

Later, Zhang Xiaoyu was no longer the Zhang Xiaoyu he used to be.

However, although this is amazing news, it can be regarded as a good thing for this sword cultivation place called Siqiao Sword Sect in the green mountains outside the town.

It's not that there are disciples who can have a connection with such a high place of sword cultivation.

It's just because it's determined that Cheng Lu is here, and it has nothing to do with the matter of the Sword Sect.

Wang Shusheng breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at this junior brother who he brought in with his own hands, he was still a little worried, and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder.

"You still have to be cautious later, try not to make that senior brother feel unhappy, although Senior Brother Cheng has always had a good temper, but recently the Liuyun Sword Sect is in conflict with the Mountain and River Sect, it is inevitable that there will be some bad moods.....

Su Guang nodded.

With their swords on their backs, the two of them left the back mountain and clear stream, and walked along those stone paths towards the Sword Sect.

Cheng Lu was still waiting at that sword flat with his sword.

Wang Shusheng took Su Guang there and left in a hurry.

The people in the Sword Sect all left this neighborhood very consciously.

Only Cheng Lu and Su Guang were left at Jianping.

Su Guang stood there a little uneasy.

Even if he has already started practicing.

It's just that those who once needed to look up to still need to look up to now.

Maybe the gap will only get bigger, just like the original card partner.

The black-clothed short-haired sword cultivator who was sitting with a sword raised his head, glanced at Su Guang, and then turned his head away, not knowing where he was looking outside the mountain.

"You are Su Guang?"

Su Guang said with some restraint: "Yes, senior brother." ”

After Cheng Lu asked such a question, he looked at the people outside the mountain for a long time and did not speak.

Su Guang waited there for a long time, thought about it, and said softly: "I don't know what Senior Brother is looking for me for?" ”

Cheng Lu still didn't speak, so Su Guang raised his head and looked in the direction Cheng Lu was looking.

Siqiao Mountain is connected to the mountains outside the mountain.

Those mountains that are not too far away and are obscured by clouds and mist are naturally the Liuyun Mountains.

Su Guang didn't understand what Cheng Lu was looking at.

The black-clothed short-haired sword cultivator just looked at it for a long time, and said slowly without looking back: "I heard that you used to have a good relationship with Zhang Xiaoyu. ”

Indeed, as Su Guang thought, Cheng Lu came here for Zhang Xiaoyu's business.

Come to think of it, it's true.

Su Guang naturally has nothing to do with such a sword cultivator, and naturally there is no situation where he came for himself.

So Su Guang nodded very sincerely.

"Yes, when we were in Nanyi City before, the two of us used to play cards together."

Cheng Lu suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Guang deeply.

"What kind of person do you think Zhang Xiaoyu is?"

Su Guang probably didn't expect Cheng Lu to suddenly ask such a question, standing on the sword flat with his sword on his back, stunned for a long time, and thought for a long time, and then said softly: "A good person who often plays scoundrels." ”

Although at the beginning, the white-clothed sword cultivator often lost cards and did not admit it, did not pay back the money he owed, and often stole things that others hung at the door to exchange for money to buy food.

But it's not just Su Guang who thinks so, people in Nanyi City don't think it's a bad person.

This is especially true of a girl named Li Qinghua.

"Good man......" Cheng Lu whispered these two words, without laughing or anger, just softly, as if he was sighing.

It's as if in such an ancient city, the white-clothed sword cultivator who smiles all day long is just an unrealistic dream for everyone.

The real Zhang Xiaoyu has always been so cold and ruthless, bringing cruel stories to the disciples of the world.

"I can think that Zhang Xiaoyu is a good person....." Cheng Lu looked at Su Guang quietly. It seems that you are indeed the shopkeeper of Su Shao who used to be in Nanyi City. ”

Su Guang looked at Cheng Lu with some confusion.

Cheng Lu's sighs didn't seem to be real, this sword cultivator just held the sword in his hand, stood up on the sword floor, and then stretched out his hand to Su Guang very calmly.

"What about the diary?"

Su Guang looked at the sword cultivator in front of him in a daze, but he was a little surprised.

"How do you know I have a diary here?"

Cheng Lu said calmly: "What is the place of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect? ”

Su Guang naturally realized that this was asking himself, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Killer Sword Sect." ”

"Yes, since you are a Killer Sword Sect, the news of the world is naturally extremely important. Unless something is really well hidden, it will always be known. ”

Su Guang naturally didn't think that one day, someone in the world would want to take a look at the diary written by the white-clothed sword cultivator, so he didn't hide anything.

Even if it was such a diary, no one knew about it when he was in Nanyi City.

But Su Guang brought it to the world.

Maybe I once looked through it in a small town when I had nothing to do.

Su Guang was silent for a while, looked at Cheng Lu and said, "What does Senior Brother want that diary for?" ”

Cheng Lu said calmly: "Because there are some things, maybe that diary can give some answers." You can understand that I have encountered a bottleneck now, and I need a peerless cheat book to successfully break through, and that cheat book is in your hands. ”

Su Guang was silent for a long time, then turned around and walked towards the back of Jianping.

"Senior brother, come with me."

Along the way, walking between the Sword Sect Sword Pavilion, neither of them met any Sword Sect disciples, probably realizing that this kind sword cultivator on weekdays was not in a very good mood, so they avoided it from a distance.

The two of them passed through the Sword Sect all the way, but they did not go to the disciples in the Sword Sect, but went to the back mountain, which was the clear stream where Su Guang had practiced before.

Su Guang took Cheng Lu all the way along the Qingxi, towards the upstream, and listened to a stream rock, Su Guang stopped, walked into the stream, and touched under the stone in the stream for a long time, before finally picking out a paper bag that was wrapped in oil paper well.

"Looks like you're aware of the many secrets this thing holds."

Cheng Lu looked at the Jianshan Sword Cultivator who was standing in the stream and pulling the aquatic plants wrapped around the paper bag, and said slowly.

The latter just smiled bitterly and said, "Senior brother thinks too much. ”

Su Guang looked down at the paper bag in his hand with some shame and sighed.

"I'm just afraid of being seen and knowing that I used to be Zhang Xiaoyu's friend."

Cheng Lu fell silent.

Maybe it's like Lingnan's attitude at the beginning.

From being proud of calling Senior Brother Zhang Xiaoyu in the past, to later, he didn't even want to mention such a sword cultivator's name in front of outsiders.

Su Guang waded onto the bank of the stream, handed the paper bag in his hand to Cheng Lu, and then turned his head and looked down at a clear stream.

"Of course, Senior Brother can also understand that this is just that I want to hide some of my secrets."

The secret of a sword cultivator who used to happily play cards.

Cheng Lu looked at this cultivator who saw the mountain realm for a long time.

Later, the pair of cards in Nanyi City who lost the world and the earth never played cards together.

They never met again.

Cheng Lu lowered his head and looked at the paper bag in his hand, but he also felt that it was a little heavy.

It has nothing to do with major events in the world, it is just the weight of such a wet sword cultivator standing by the stream.

"What would you do if you saw Zhang Xiaoyu now?"

Cheng Lu didn't open the tightly wrapped oiled paper bag, but just looked at Su Guang and asked such a question.

Su Guang stood by the stream and thought for a long time, and then said softly: "I don't dare to see it." ”

Cheng Lu looked at him quietly.

This sword cultivator who saw the mountain realm just smiled bitterly and said, "For a person like me, there is no point in seeing him. I couldn't do anything but question him, I was worried that maybe I would agree with his idea and become the same person as him, and I was also worried that I would look at the sword cultivator who no longer had any past appearance with indignation, and pull out the sword to find a way to die. ”

Su Guang said softly: "So probably, I will pretend that I can't see anything, look around, and pass by with my head up." ”

For the world, when one's friend suddenly becomes a heinous person, this is probably what is often the idea.

I didn't want to fall together, and I didn't have the ability to bring him back, so I could only pretend to be a stranger.

Su Guang suddenly turned his head to look at Cheng Lu.

"Senior brother has been asking me, and I also want to ask senior brother, if it were you, what would you do?"

Cheng Lu said calmly: "My relationship with him is naturally not as good as your relationship with him. ”

Although they are both young Sanjian at the beginning, Cheng Lu and Zhang Xiaoyu naturally don't have a deep friendship.

Even Ximen is more familiar than Zhang Xiaoyu.

After all, that sword cultivator used to be a Taoist of the mountain and river view.

It's the northerners.

"So if you ask, all I can say is ....."

Cheng Lu quietly looked at the oiled paper bag in her hand.

"It is both superior and inferior, and it is also life and death."

Su Guang was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "Senior brother said this, but it also proves that at least, the shame I have is reasonable and correct. ”

Cheng Lu looked up at Su Guang and said, "Love and righteousness have always been difficult to choose, so I can understand. ”

But what if you can understand it, and what if you can't understand it?
