Chapter 81 Climbing the stairs and looking back, the eyes are full of snow
A mountain of moonlight, full of bamboo wind.
Jiang Shanxue lowered his head and quietly stepped on the shadows of the trees on the night path, walking idly in the view.
After giving You Chunshan some food to eat, this young Taoist went to Guanzhong again to find some senior brothers and younger brothers to borrow money.
It's just that the results are probably still unsatisfactory.
Jiang Shanxue stopped on the path with some sadness, but just happened to see a figure walking slowly there in those shadowy forests, and it seemed that it was probably similar to his own appearance.
The Taoist under the moonlight looked at the sword that the man was carrying behind him, raised his eyebrows, and then walked forward and chased after him.
That person was naturally Cheng Lu.
The journey of a long journey, the dew full of mist.
Jiang Shanxue stood in the middle of the forest, and the sword cultivator stopped at the edge of the forest, quietly looking at the steps heading down the mountain, probably thinking about something.
Jiang Shanxue walked over and walked to the side of this Flowing Cloud Sword Sect Sword Cultivator.
Cheng Lu turned his head to take a look, and saw that it was Jiangshan Xue, but he also called out softly to his senior brother.
Jiang Shanxue looked at Cheng Lu for a long time, and then said slowly: "Have you seen the master?" โ
Cheng Lu nodded silently.
Jiang Shanxue thought for a while and asked, "So have you found such a person?" โ
"Nope." Cheng Lu looked down at the mountain road, then looked back at the end of the mountain road that went up, and said softly, "But sometimes, it doesn't matter whether you find it or not." โ
Jiang Shanxue quietly looked at this Liuyun Sword Cultivator.
The latter raised his head and continued with a wry smile: "Your Majesty may not have a choice, what can I Cheng Lu do?" โ
There are three swords in the world from generation to generation.
But for thousands of years, the real three swords have always been those three.
If it weren't for Cong Blade's sudden death, perhaps such three swords would have continued for many years.
Cheng Lu may have remembered what the white-haired and green-clothed sword cultivator said to himself during a certain period of autumn rain, and said very self-deprecatingly: "I'm not Zhang Xiaoyu either." โ
It's not just that kind of awe-inspiring approach, but also talent.
Although the world is reluctant to admit it, it is just that sometimes they have to accept the fact that Zhang Xiaoyu, such a twenty-six-year-old young man with dual cultivation of Dao and Sword, does have the capital to replace Cong Blade to become a new generation of Three Swords.
Jiang Shanxue turned her head and looked at the mountain road that Cheng Lu had been watching for a long time for some reason, and then said softly: "You have the breath of rain on your body, and there is no rain near Qingtian Road." โ
Cheng Lu looked at this Taoist quietly, such a sentence was indeed very sudden.
Jiang Shanxue said slowly: "The sigh of despair is naturally meaningless. โ
The Taoist said, thought about it very seriously, and continued: "Maybe this is also the reason why you and I have always taken different paths. You are a disciple of Chen Yunxi's predecessors, in the entire Liuyun Sword Sect, your status is not low, seniors in one day, your status will never drop a point, if the seniors are not there, then you are the one who sat in that position at the beginning. โ
So Cheng Lu would sigh back then that he was a person outside the stage.
And the rivers and mountains and snow are naturally different.
Cheng Lu also knew that the people of the Liuyun Sword Sect had always been very well-informed.
So this black-clothed sword cultivator said softly, "But you have to fight for a lot of things by yourself." Your ancestors no longer have any shade, and the entire Qingtian Dao might as well look at you as well as Chen Huaifeng. โ
Cheng Lu sighed softly, looked at Jiang Shanxue for a long time and said: "So after you were seriously injured by Zhang Xiaoyu's sword, you knew that you were invincible, but you always felt that it was a shame for you not to continue to look for it. โ
Jiang Shanxue was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Cheng Lu to mention such a thing again.
It's just that as You Chunshan said, Jiangshan Xue has tried and tried his best.
I'm up, it's a sword for a second, what can I say?
The two stood there quietly, and after a long time, Cheng Lu continued: "So you say that I have the smell of rain on my body, what do you mean? โ
Jiang Shanxue smiled and said: "Sigh, it's better to continue to try, there is the breath of rain, it means that you have left Qingtian Dao today, but I didn't see it, then you may just go to the years, the years are a very dazed and grandiose word, but the rain has become some exact signs." What year was that? Is it spring rain or summer rain? I guess it's autumn rain, because the smell of this rain is not soft, it's a bit cold, then you must be going to an autumn ......"
Cheng Lu quietly looked at Jiangshan Xue, was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "In the autumn of the nine hundred and eighty-third year of the Great Wind Calendar, a rainy day probably started to fall in the afternoon - when I appeared on the shore of the mountain rumor-ju lake, the rain was still drizzle, and it slowly became heavier later, covering the mountains and forests. โ
Jiang Shanxue said softly: "So those who have not been found in the years may not be able to find them in the future." โ
Cheng Lu was silent for a long time, looking deeply at this Taoist who he was not familiar with.
"Why are you helping me?"
Jiang Shanxue raised her head and looked at the night quietly, and said: "There is a saying in the ancient Qingtian Dao, which is called the avenue is like the blue sky, and I can't come out alone." โ
"Qinglian's senior's words."
Cheng Lu said softly.
"Yes." Jiang Shanxue said with a smile, "Maybe the people of the world today prefer that sentence when the blue sky is moonless, I will stop and ask today." At least compared to the bitterness of the previous sentence, the latter sentence is more chic, and Qingtian Dao did stop asking later. But about the previous sentence, I have actually been a little unclear, how can it not be said? โ
Jiang Shanxue lowered her head, looked at the sword cultivator on the side, and said softly: "You Chunshan's words reminded me today. โ
Cheng Lu looked at the Taoist quietly, and the latter said softly: "It's never unlikely. โ
"It's a single word."
Cheng Lu looked at the Taoist thoughtfully, still didn't speak, Jiang Shanxue smiled away, and said slowly: "Seeing the mountains and knowing the water, smelling the wind and watching the rain, stepping on the snow to find the plum, climbing the stairs and nine solitary waves, it seems that cultivation has always been a lonely place." โ
This Taoist looked at the world with deep eyes, and said softly: "But the world is not, cultivation is always just a means, not an end. โ
"Don't walk into the night alone, and don't walk up the peak alone."
Jiang Shanxue smiled softly and said: "That may indeed be the case, when you go upstairs and look back, you can see the snow and the rivers and mountains." โ
Cheng Lu said softly: "So ....."
Jiang Shanxue smiled slightly.
"So I help you so that you can help me in the future."
Cheng Lu stood there for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a long time, he said softly: "Maybe Bai Fengyu is indeed a person worthy of praise." โ
Jiang Shanxue raised her eyebrows and looked at this Liuyun Sword Sect.
Cheng Lu said softly: "He doesn't want one person to ascend to heaven with a chicken dog, he wants a chicken dog to ascend to heaven." โ
Jiang Shanxue turned her head and quietly looked at Qingtian Dao, who had fallen silent in the hundred-year story, looked at it for a long time, and said slowly: "Yes." โ
Cheng Lu didn't say anything more, looked at Jiang Shanxue and said softly: "Thank you, senior brother, for waking up, I'll go to the Lord again tomorrow." โ
Jiang Shanxue nodded.
......
You Chunshan ate the things brought by Jiangshan Xue, and then slept very peacefully.
Sleeping in the Qingtian Dao, naturally nothing messy will happen, the mountain is quiet, You Chunshan slept until noon on the second day.
Pushing open the door of the bamboo house, the sunlight has been sprinkled in the deciduous lawn in front of the house, and the path towards the deep forest carries the sun; The branches and leaves on both sides have a very bright green feeling.
Jiang Shanxue was carrying some food and drink, and was coming this way on that path.
Looking at You Chunshan, who had just woken up, Jiang Shanxue smiled and said, "I thought I was late, so you also stole cattle last night?" โ
You Chunshan scratched his head and said, "What stealing cattle?" โ
Jiang Shanxue stopped in the ping, and said with a smile: "It's nothing. โ
You Chunshan went back to the bamboo hut and moved the low table out, and asked with some puzzlement, "You stole the cow last night?" โ
Of course, stealing cattle is not really stealing cattle, but just teasing You Chunshan for getting up late.
After all, stealing cattle has to be stolen in the middle of the night so that no one will be discovered.
Jiang Shanxue didn't expect You Chunshan to ask like this, so he had to explain to You Chunshan.
The young man laughed ohohoh.
You Chunshan was naturally very hungry, sat down at the low table, and while pulling the food, he looked at Jiang Shanxue and said, "Have you ever gone to the Lord?" โ
Jiang Shanxue shook her head a little ashamedly and said, "Not yet, because Senior Brother Cheng is still there." โ
You Chunshan said with some surprise: "He has been gone for so long? โ
Jiang Shanxue said softly: "Because he went twice, maybe it's also because the problem is really complicated." โ
"Okay."
Jiang Shanxue not only helped You Chunshan go to the town below the mountain to buy some food today, but also brought a pot of wine.
The two of them sat in front of the bamboo hut, eating something while drinking a little wine slowly, which was indeed a little comfortable.
"When I help you solve these things, I'll take care of my injuries."
Jiang Shanxue sat there and said softly, "I have to go to the East China Sea again." โ
You Chunshan thought for a while and said, "If you take care of your injury, you will be able to win against Zhang Xiaoyu?" โ
Jiang Shanxue shook her head and said: "Naturally, you can't win, but after all, Chen Huaifeng is also a senior brother, and he is also a disciple of the Guan Lord. โ
You Chunshan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, this can be regarded as an internal matter of their Human Sword Sect. โ
Jiang Shanxue sighed and said, "But do you think which of the two of them still has the identity of the Human Sword Sect?" If the Human Sword Sect is no longer there, the world will probably attribute both of them to the Human Sword Sect, but the Human Sword Sect is still there, so naturally they will have to go their separate ways. โ
Jiang Shanxue said, but was silent for a while, looked up at the mountains and forests to the east, and said softly: "Actually, I have always had a problem. โ
You Chunshan licked his fingers and asked, "What's the problem?" โ
Jiang Shanxue squinted her eyes and said, "Zhang Xiaoyu seems to want to kill me." โ
This is something that You Chunshan and none of them know.
They always thought that Jiang Shanxue's serious injury was a big battle with that sword cultivator.
Perhaps the only thing that can be guessed is the boy under the umbrella.
The sword of the world, the longest rise, is the sword of cause and effect.
At the beginning, Jiang Shanxue's injury came from the causal sword, which was also the reason why the young man was silent for so long when he looked at those familiar sword wounds.
You Chunshan sat there in a daze, looking at the empty wine glass in front of Jiang Shanxue, but suddenly understood why this Taoist would bring wine.
"Why?"
You Chunshan asked puzzled.
Jiang Shanxue pondered for a long time, then came back to her senses, shook her head, and said, "I don't know. I thought that the gaze of such a sword cultivator should not fall on me, although I am also a Great Dao cultivator, but for people like them, the natural talent is not good, even if I really want to abandon the saint and abandon the wisdom, how can it fall on me so early? โ
Jiang Shanxue didn't understand, and You Chunshan naturally couldn't understand.
So Jiang Shanxue drank some wine and didn't continue, just stood up, stood on the edge of the courtyard, and quietly watched the wind swaying in the mountains.
You Chunshan didn't care so much, after all, this was something he couldn't do, drinking and eating food there, it was very comfortable.
After a long time, there was a sword cultivator on that trail slowly coming.
You Chunshan and Jiang Shanxue turned their heads to look at it, and it was Cheng Lu who came.
The latter stood on the path with a frown, looking at this side.
Jiang Shanxue looked at Cheng Lu and asked, "How?" โ
Cheng Lu shook her head and said softly: "The Guan Master was in retreat that year, and she really didn't know what happened in the Qingtian Dao. โ
You Chunshan interjected and said, "Isn't it that Bai Yuyu, the master of the Qingtian Dao Temple, is the junior sister of the fortune operator, and is also good at spying on fate?" โ
Jiang Shanxue looked at Cheng Lu's tightly knit brows, but understood something, and said softly: "There are some things that you can't look at and don't dare to look at." โ
At the beginning of the autumn underwater cliff, Bai Yuyu didn't dare to look at it directly, but just went to see Lingnan.
So in fact, Jiang Shanxue has guessed many things.
After all, who there is in the Liuyun Sword Sect, the world knows in everyone's hearts.
Even Kamigawa didn't personally enter that period of time to take a look, let alone the white jade ballad.
Jiang Shanxue pondered for a while, looked at Cheng Lu and asked, "What about Your Majesty?" โ
Cheng Lu said softly: "Although Your Majesty is in Qingtian Dao now, he is naturally not there back then. โ
You Chunshan, who was on the side, listened to the two of them talking about these things calmly, but jumped in shock.
"Your Majesty is in the Qingtian Dao now? What is he doing here? โ
Of course, You Chunshan was a little flustered, after all, when he was in the East China Sea, he had slandered this human emperor for a long time.
Jiang Shanxue looked at You Chunshan strangely and said, "What are you doing in such a panic?" Did you speak ill of him? โ
You Chunshan scratched his head in disdain, stretched out his fingers and gestured: "A little bit!" โ
"......" Jiang Shanxue was silent, and then said helplessly: "Your Majesty won't care about these things." โ
After all, there are so many people in the world, if they all have to settle the past, will they still be alive?
You Chunshan was relieved at this time.
Cheng Lu and Jiang Shanxue returned to the original problem again.
This Qingtian Daoist stood there and thought for a long time, and then said slowly: "I'll take you to find my senior uncle and ancestor, he may know something." โ
Cheng Lu nodded.
"Okay."
The two left together, leaving You Chunshan alone and shivering.
The food was gone, the wine was gone, and even the sun was getting hotโof course, it might have been because it was past noon, and the sun was getting hotter.
You Chunshan was melancholy for a long time, in order to prevent hunger, he still sincerely finished the meal, after all, what's wrong with the meal?
It is, of course, shameful to waste food.
You Chunshan pinched the rice grains that fell on the low table and chewed them in his mouth, looked around, and then drank the wine, and then picked up the low table and ran to the bamboo hut with a thief in his heart.
"Oops!"
Probably running too quickly, it was clear that before he ran to the threshold, the young man from the East China Sea fell and fell there.
The thing on the low table was thrown to the ground.
Fortunately, You Chunshan also got used to falling, and he was busy picking up things there.
It's just that at this time, there were some footsteps behind You Chunshan.
This frightened the young man with trembling hands and feet, and he thought to himself that it was over, and His Majesty had come to me to settle the score.
So the things that had been packed up fell back in a mess.
You Chunshan picked it up in a panic.
And the footsteps behind him stopped, and did not speak, as if the emperor was standing there, looking coldly at the young man who had scolded him.
You Chunshan thought that he had known that he would really see His Majesty, where would he say some nonsense in the first place.
Seeing that he probably couldn't hide, You Chunshan didn't pick up those things anymore, and turned back tremblingly.
It's just that when he saw the people behind him, You Chunshan was also stunned.
It wasn't some black-robed emperor who was particularly gloomy.
It was a Dao Cultivator girl in a blue and white Dao robe, who was looking at You Chunshan with a strange expression.
"What are you doing?"
You Chunshan let out a long breath and put his mind at ease, just looking back at the messy things, the young man panicked again, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a thief, I was brought up the mountain by Uncle Jiangshan Xue, oh no, I brought him up the mountain, it doesn't seem right."
You Chunshan was probably a little confused by the fall of his brain.
That Dao cultivator girl just looked at You Chunshan silently, what could there be to steal from the land of cultivation? It's better to steal here than to steal from the mountain.
But the girl still raised her hand, and the sermon flowed through her fingertips.
You Chunshan hurriedly held his wooden sword and stepped back.
"If you have something to say, don't do it."
It's just that the Qingtian Dao girl didn't seem to hear it, and she still put her hands on her chest.
Manping Road is windy.
You Chunshan shouted in panic.
"Snow in the mountains, snow in the mountains! Cheng Lu! Help, kill someone. โ
The Qingtian Dao girl frowned.
"Don't scream, when the time comes, it's really over if you quarrel with those Qing Xiu's senior brothers and uncles."
Such intimidation really works.
You Chunshan closed his mouth with a good face, and the gloomy Qingtian Dao uncle yesterday still remembered it vividly.
"I don't scream, can you let me go?"
You Chunshan looked at the Taoist girl pitifully.
The latter just tilted his head and said very seriously: "Didn't you notice that your face was full of blood?" โ
You Chunshan was stunned.
The girl's Taoism came from the surface, but it was not lethal, on the contrary, like the mountain wind in March, it blew this young man from the East China Sea very comfortably.
