Chapter 8 The peach blossoms in the world may not be unthankful
In August, there were many more graves in the green hills.
Some of the graves had swords stuck in them, while others were empty, just bulging bags of dirt.
Lu Xiaoer's whole person has lost a lot of weight, maybe only sixty or seventy pounds, at a glance, it always makes people feel that he will be dragged down by the sword in his hand.
The little boy was standing there, resting against a rock. Not far away was a freshly filled grave bag, with some handwriting on the newly erected wooden planks.
Lingnan, Xiaojiufeng Sword Sect, the tomb of the sword 1346.
The little boy himself actually doesn't remember whether this number is correct or not.
But he didn't look back, just left alone in the green mountains in silence, digging into the past little by little.
This place is actually not very far from the Tianya Sword Sect.
If the little boy drove the sword wind and headed that way, it probably wouldn't take long, maybe a quarter of an hour, maybe half an hour, to see such a very familiar green mountain.
It's just that Lu Xiaoer didn't.
In fact, a few days ago, he had reached such a distance.
It's just that after the young boy buried a grave there, he changed directions and continued to search for the body in those green hills.
Sometimes Lu Xiaoer has a very strange idea - it is clear that the mountains are full of dead people, but such a wandering ghost is the same as him.
Lu Xiaoer sat there silently and rested, and it took a long time before he stood up, intending to continue to change directions and look for some other corpses.
After leaving Tingfeng Creek, the corpses of those sword cultivators were fewer.
Sometimes young boys have to climb several mountains to find some.
The Lingnan Sword Sect is of course very large.
When the army was approaching, the main battlefield was probably on the side of Tingfeng Creek.
It's just a few scattered battlefields.
As for going further west, it probably doesn't make sense.
From there, you will probably only see the Yellow Mountain Range lying in the southwest of the world.
That's where the Jedi.
The little boy looked at the west silently, then turned back, and only when he turned back, the little boy's expression became solemn.
In the direction behind him, at some point, a Taoist stood there, and he looked at him quietly, and he didn't know how long he had been watching.
Behind such a dead green mountain, I suddenly saw a Taoist, who was changed to someone, and I was probably frightened.
Of course, Lu Xiaoer is no exception.
The little boy clenched the Xiwu Sword in his hand, his breathing became extremely heavy, and he looked at the Taoist who was standing quietly in the distance among the miscanthus grass in the distance.
The Taoist is very young, and there is no Taoist rhyme on his body, but the little boy doesn't know what realm he is.
The two stood there and looked at each other for a long time, but the Taoist smiled slightly and said, "Lu Xiaoer? ”
Lu Xiaoer didn't say anything, turned around and ran in the direction of the Tianya Sword Sect.
The Taoist didn't make any moves, just stood there quietly, looking at the frightened Lingnan little sword cultivator.
Of course Lu Xiaoer has to run.
The moment the Taoist spoke, the little boy faintly heard the sound of the waves of the Dao Sea coming from the Divine Sea.
In the face of such a mysterious Taoist, what else can the little boy do if he doesn't run?
The Taoist watched quietly, then took a step and calmly walked towards it.
......
The mountain path of the Tianya Sword Sect has been destroyed.
Although Wu Dalong felt that the new year was new, building a road could make the Sword Sect look more magnificent.
It's just that he probably didn't expect that the entire Lingnan would suffer such a heavy blow.
So in a later story, the stone steps on these mountain roads were re-dug up by those young boys and filled into such a sword-throwing pool.
Even if Lu Xiaoer had already thought that the Tianya Sword Sect might not be as intact as it was at the beginning, but when he passed through that mountain gate and saw these messy mountain paths, he was also silent.
From the stone strips that were turned over and discarded on the side, you can actually see the haste of such a story at the beginning.
Lu Xiaoer was silent for a while, but his steps did not stop, and continued to walk upward.
Those former cyan buildings have been burned down, and I don't know whose proposal it was, in short, when Lu Xiaoer came to the Tianya Sword Sect, it was already a ruined wall.
Lu Xiaoer didn't think about it that much, he just walked in the direction of the sword throwing pool behind the autumn forest of the Tianya Sword Sect.
It was only when Lu Xiaoer arrived there that he was extremely shocked to find that the pool had already been sealed by a mountain stone.
This shattered the boy's idea of trying to enter Heavenly Town from here.
Lu Xiaoer didn't know if that Taoist had already caught up, he didn't even know who that Taoist was, why he appeared here, and he could still say his name.
But all this, perhaps, represents a crisis in itself.
Lu Xiaoer did not hesitate, held the Xiwu Sword, turned around and simply left the sword throwing pool, and continued to go further up.
After all, in the Tianya Sword Sect, there have always been two paths to Tianya Town.
One is the sword throwing pool, and the second is the mountain cliff that passes through the canyon and continues backwards.
Tranquility in the mountains.
When Lu Xiaoer was in the mountains of Lingnan, he actually thought about many pictures of him returning to the Tianya Sword Sect.
Maybe bleak, low, full of sadness.
Perhaps a surprise.
I just probably didn't think it would be full of fright.
It's just that when the little boy panted and climbed up the canyon, his eyes suddenly widened.
The Taoist who was in the green mountains at that time had appeared in front of the small building that had been sealed for a long time, and was bending down there to look at the peach blossoms that were growing in the wooden jar.
Perhaps because there was no one to take care of it, the walls of the wooden jar were already covered with dust and some moss.
It's just that the peach blossoms are still the same, and countless petals have been blown off by the wind, falling all over the open space in front of the building.
Lu Xiaoer held the Xiwu Sword tightly, stood at the last step of the mountain road, and looked at the Taoist in silence.
It's been a long time.
The Taoist watched the autumn wind blowing the peach blossoms falling all over the cliff, stood up straight, turned around, and said softly: "So my master was here at the beginning, and he slashed my plum blossoms outside the gate with a sword?" ”
Lu Xiaoer stood there with a solemn expression, was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I don't know what you're talking about?" ”
The Taoist smiled slightly, looked at the little boy and said, "I'm talking about my master, your uncle, the one who likes to play the piano." ”
Lu Xiaoer subconsciously looked at the wind corridor of the small building.
It's a pity that when people go to the empty Little Red Mansion, there will probably no longer be such a young uncle sitting there, talking about eating fish, talking about the sword in his heart, and talking about hot pot.
The Taoist slowly walked to the edge of the cliff and stood there, overlooking the lonely autumn mountains.
"Of course, you may have guessed something, for example, that the person named Le Chaotian is a certain Taoist overhaul. Maybe it's still the master of a Taoist temple in the world that doesn't have a good reputation. ”
Lu Xiaoer stood there silently, then raised his legs and walked up the last stone step, stood on the flat outside the canyon, looked at the Taoist and said slowly: "So you are the mountain and river view Li Shi?" ”
This Taoist, who everyone thought he was in Huaidu, but didn't know when he came to the south of the world, nodded very sincerely.
"Yes."
Lu Xiaoer didn't say anything more, just held the Xiwu Sword and looked at the Taoist for a long time.
He really couldn't imagine why this Taoist appeared here.
The Taoist didn't know why, but he sighed, looked at this world with sighs, and said softly: "I'm sorry to make Lingnan what it is now." ”
When the little boy heard such a sentence, he clenched the Xiwu Sword in his hand.
As if he didn't notice it, the Taoist just stood on the edge of the cliff and continued to say to himself: "We thought about the Qing Dynasty meeting the opposite, but we didn't think that Lingnan would refuse to give way until death - this is a thing that makes the whole world feel regretful. ”
Lu Xiaoer was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "So what? ”
Li Shi stood there quietly, raised his hand to catch a piece of peach blossom, and said softly: "There is no so, the wrong things are often irreparable, and we have nothing to do except say that it is a pity." ”
"And what are you doing here?"
Li Shi turned around, looked at the vigilant little boy, and said sincerely: "Lingnan is too deserted, I want to invite you to sit outside the gate." ”
Lu Xiaoer was silent, glancing at the direction of the canyon, he was really not sure that he could escape to such a high mountain cliff under the nose of this Taoist.
It's just that the next moment, the little boy did suddenly turn his head and look in the direction he came.
Li Shi also narrowed his eyes and looked there.
Someone was walking there calmly.
Because of his tall stature, the mountain road by the stream looks a little cramped and crowded.
The mountains are quiet, with only the sound of some flowing water.
It took a long time for the Taoist to break the silence with a rather melancholy voice.
"The Prison Master is really annoying."
Liu Qinghe smiled slightly and said, "Aren't you two feet nine away from fate?" Shouldn't such a thing be calculated? ”
Li Shi said wistfully: "Huaidu Willow White Ape, with a mighty sword intent, how dare I count a person like you?" ”
Since the sword intent left by Chen Yunxi was broken twice in Huaidu Liuqinghe, the Taoist faced Liu Qinghe, but he also became much more peaceful.
Liu Qinghe raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't count people like me, how can you abolish the Great Dao?" ”
Li Shi said softly: "Of course, the prison master saw it, we always have to do some stealing and touching dogs, so that we can have the power to ignite the mountain fire like Zhang Xiaoyu." ”
Liu Qinghe smiled softly and said, "So behind everyone's former saintly disciple, there is a senior brother who is diligent and dedicated?" ”
Li Shi didn't know why, but he looked at Liu Qinghe thoughtfully for a long time.
Lu Xiaoer didn't know who such a black-robed person was, but he vaguely felt that this figure was somewhat familiar, and then remembered that on the night Qing Xiang died, it seemed that such a person went to the destroyed city of mountains and moons.
Liu Qinghe didn't look at Li Shi anymore, turned his head to look at Lu Xiaoer, who was standing there silently with his sword in his hand, and said in amazement: "There are thousands of graves in Lingnan, all of which were erected by you?" ”
Lu Xiaoer was silent for a while, and said softly: "Yes." ”
Liu Qinghe looked at the dusty little boy with great sighs, this is probably indeed a moving thing.
After all, the fact that a little sword cultivator who knew the water realm plunged headlong into the green mountains and dug the grave silently with the sword in his hand always made people feel emotional.
So Liu Qinghe walked to Lu Xiaoer's side, raised his hand to sweep away some of the dirt between the little boy's eyebrows, and said regretfully: "This matter is Huaidu's fault." ”
Lu Xiaoer was silent for a while, and said, "Shouldn't it be the fault of those who disturb the world?" ”
Liu Qinghe glanced at Li Shi calmly and said slowly: "They don't feel that they are wrong, they just think that fate is not enough, what bad people do, for them, it will not be wrong, only good people will do wrong things." ”
Li Shi smiled softly and said, "It's just that the positions are different, why do you want us to talk so badly?" ”
Liu Qinghe calmly obtained: "Acting in the world and talking about positions is just a means of exculpation. There is no right or wrong in this land, but there can be no right and wrong in the world. What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong, and this can be seen by the world. ”
Li Shi sighed and said, "In other words, maybe these truths will be more sincere. What we do is not an inspiration from Hell? You will kill the people on the twelfth floor, and we will kill the people who break the avenue. Could it be that the blood on someone's hands will be cleaner? ”
Liu Qinghe said lightly: "Ours is indeed cleaner." ”
Li Shi raised his eyebrows, probably didn't expect Liu Qinghe to really say such a sentence so confidently.
"Because there is no chaos in the world?"
"Because there is no chaos in the world."
"Makes sense."
There was silence on the cliff of the small building.
It was a long time before Liu Qinghe turned his head to look at this little boy who was actually not very outstanding except for his good looks, and said softly: "I'm curious, why did you take him to Guanwai." ”
Li Shi said wistfully: "It's just some small truths. People sometimes do this kind of thing – as I said before, it's stealing. ”
Liu Qinghe seemed to understand something, looking at such a green land in the world.
Later, a certain boy under the umbrella would often use the name of Lingnan Tianya Sword Sect Sword Cultivation as his identity in the world.
This Heavenly Hell Lord was silent for a long time, then looked at the Daoist and said slowly, "It's really a simple way." ”
Li Shi laughed softly and said: "In terms of the concept of fate without one door, the world is just two doors, one is called the lack of one door, and one is full if one is added, which is for the Great Yan Gate." The avenue is, of course, the simplest. ”
Lu Xiaoer stood there with his brows furrowed, listening for a long time, but he couldn't understand what the two were saying.
Liu Qinghe probably saw the young man's doubts, sighed, and said: "To put it mildly, he wants your uncle Nandao to go to Guanwai, but your uncle has an umbrella, and the realm is not low, he is a little afraid to go, so after thinking about it, he decided to run to kidnap you and blackmail Xiao Er to order the princes." ”
“.....”
Lu Xiaoer was silent.
The Taoist stood on the edge of the cliff, quietly looked at Liu Qinghe and Lu Xiaoer, and said softly: "But I don't understand, why did Lord Prison Master come to the Tianya Sword Sect at this time. ”
Liu Qinghe smiled slightly and said, "I actually didn't expect you to be here, it's just ....."
It's just like what I said to Yun Hu in the Hanging Courtyard.
How to get in such a heaven and earth, naturally you can only ask people who have been there.
So Liu Qinghe remembered a certain little boy who was digging graves in Lingnan.
So probably fate is just two words like just happen and miss.
If you happen to meet it, you will sigh that fate is really wonderful.
If you go wrong, you will regret that this is life.
When it's dull, who thinks of the word fate?
"People are not as good as the sky, and the sky is not as good as the sky. Li Shi, you are indeed not very lucky. ”
Li Shi sighed, didn't say anything more, threw the peach blossom in his hand to the world, and the whole person disappeared into the wind.
Lu Xiaoer slowly let go of the sword in his hand, looked back at Liu Qinghe, and said as if he was puzzled: "Why did you let him go?" ”
Liu Qinghe said calmly: "Because I can't keep him." ”
Of course, it's not that Li Shi can't keep it.
It's just that there is a white-haired sword cultivator in the world, and the realm is too high.
No one wanted to force him to make a move.
Lu Xiaoer was silent for a long time, thinking about the stories that had happened in the world in the past year, and said softly: "Then let him walk around like this?" ”
Liu Qinghe smiled slightly and said, "Grasshoppers are always very active in spring and summer. ”
The Lord of Heaven and Hell walked towards the edge of the cliff, looked at the peach blossom that was thrown down by the Taoist, raised his hand to catch the other one blown by the autumn wind, and threw it out in his hand, but it happened to be cut on it.
The peach blossoms split in two, and some blood fell, and then fell together.
"It's autumn......"
Liu Qinghe turned his head, looked at the cluster of peach branches growing in the wooden jar, and said softly.
"What peach blossom won't wither?"
It's just that it hasn't withered.
Liu Qinghe didn't say anything more, and turned to look at the little boy who was silently watching everything in the Tianya Sword Sect.
"I want to go to Tianya Town."
Lu Xiaoer raised his head in surprise and clenched the sword in his hand again.
It's just that he can't help but face Li Shi, let alone face Liu Qinghe.
The great ape from Huaidu smiled very gently.
"I'm not interested in the swordsmanship of the Tianya Sword Sect, it's just that there are times when we have to take a look at the things left by some heavenly people."
The little boy just stood there in silence and whispered, "How can I trust you?" ”
Liu Qinghe just raised a hand calmly, his body full of sword intent surging, and he swaggered between the cliffs in a black robe.
Lu Xiaoer didn't know what this man wanted to do, but the next moment, this Lingnan little sword cultivator's expression changed greatly.
He could feel that in his divine sea, there was the rudimentary form of a certain sword, which was held in his hand.
That was the best sword in the world that the grass taught him at the beginning.
Fortunately, in the next moment, all the sword intent of the cliff faded.
It's just that very short moment, but it left an indelible horror in the little boy's heart.
Pulling out the sword of the Divine Sea of others, such a thing is probably the first time Lu Xiaoer has encountered it.
Lu Xiaoer looked up at the man who looked like a dark mountain in a daze.
The latter just looked at him with a smile.
"Now do you believe it?"
