Chapter 37: Because I like it too much
Nan Dequ was ashamed to wrap a big quilt and walked out of the courtyard gate.
After walking for a while, I felt that it was still a little strange, so I ran back again, but as soon as I entered the yard, I found that Chen He was no longer in the yard.
The piece of tofu was still sitting on the iron plate, sizzling and frying, and a burnt aroma was slowly permeating.
Nan Dequ looked at it with a strange expression, and then looked in the small courtyard of the wind and snow, but unfortunately he didn't see such a young man squatting in the corner.
"Chen He? Chen He? β
Nandequ screamed several times, but unfortunately the courtyard was silent, and such a young man did not run out of any horn.
The Tianyan car was still parked under the eaves not far away, there were some snow chips on the wheelchair that had been blown by the wind, it didn't seem to have moved, and there were no fresh footprints in the yard, which at least showed that Chen He had walked out of the yard, which made Nan Dequ very puzzled, wrapped in a quilt and very bloated through the yard, stopped in front of the iron plate that had not been extinguished, and reached out to pick up the piece of tofu.
Although the tofu is a little overfried, it is still edible.
It's just not the heat of sizzling tofu.
Nan Dequ put the tofu in his mouth, wrapped it in a quilt, and searched around the room.
It's a pity that Chen He was not seen anywhere.
It was as if such a young man had suddenly disappeared.
Nan Dequ returned to the eaves with the piece of tofu in his mouth, and stood there looking at the clean yard with only his own footprints.
Could it be that Chen He is really a great sword immortal in the world?
And then after being exposed by himself, he drifted away?
Nan Dequ raised his head, looked at the misty but magnificent sky, looked at it for a long time, sighed, didn't look for anything more, and continued to walk out wrapped in a big quilt.
If it weren't for the seniors, it probably wouldn't make sense to find it.
If you are a senior, you don't want to walk in the world like a person, what can you reluctant?
Let's go find my brother.
......
Chen He felt that he must have had a wrong dream.
When did Heavenly Town have a sea?
The young man stood by the sword lake blankly, wiping some of the blood from his nose and looking down at the lake with many sword light parades.
This world is indeed very strange, and even the peach blossoms are gone.
Chen He searched around along the waterfront that had become extremely long, but unfortunately saw nothing.
I must have dreamed the wrong dream.
Chen He thought very firmly, then do it again.
The figure of this young man disappeared by the sword lake and reappeared in the small courtyard of the wind and snow, and the courtyard door was swaying slightly in the wind, which made Chen He a little curious, Nandequ should have left a long time ago, could it be that someone has come again?
Is it Zhuang Baiyi, or the great monk, or the Nanchu Lingwu who is going to die?
Although Chen He was a little curious, he didn't think much about it, he wanted to take the old piece of tofu and eat it, but he was empty.
This surprised the young man and at the same time couldn't help but worry a little more - it's over, he won't get worse and worse.
Maybe in a few days, I won't even be able to tell whether it's a day or a month.
Chen He shuddered, didn't care about any tofu or not, and went to Tianshang Town for the second time.
.......
When Chen He appeared in Heavenly Town for the second time, he had to admit that he might not have come to the wrong place.
This is indeed the town of heaven.
It's just that everything has changed dramatically.
He didn't even know him.
For example, Sword Lake is like a sea of swords.
For example, the small mound of the original sea of flowers by the lake already looks like a high mountain.
What about that town?
What about the peach tree?
What about grass for fireflies?
Chen He scratched his head and walked all the way along the autumn coast.
Just walking, the young man stopped, and looked at his shadow quietly.
If there is a tape measure, Chen He must be able to measure that his shadow is thirteen zhang 2 feet 7 inches 3.
Even if there is no tape measure, Chen He can see that his shadow looks very good.
But it doesn't look good.
Not good at all.
It's not good, Chen He.
Chen He thought silently in his heart, raised his head, on the distant mountains to the west, there was an autumn sunset slowly falling, maybe it won't be long before it would fall behind those cliffs and clouds, hiding all the light.
This is also the reason why Chen He's shadow is so long.
It's just that.
Chen He sighed wistfully.
When I came in just now, it seemed that Heavenly Town was still far away from dusk.
Chen He felt that there must be something wrong with his perception of time.
Otherwise, how could it feel like a quarter of an hour had passed, and those days had ripened so quicklyβso that it looked like a piece of tofu that had been overfried in an instant?
Everything is yellow.
It does look like a piece of tofu turned over.
Chen He raised his hand to his lips and formed a trumpet.
"Grass for fireflies!"
"Grass for fireflies!"
It's a pity that it's like Nandequ calling Chen He's name in the courtyard.
Everything is unresponsive.
When some people are not here, whether it is winter snow or autumn clouds, nothing will respond.
So the voices drifted away together, until they reached the edge of the cloudy cliff, and fell.
Since then, there has been no news from the world.
This is a sentence that Chen Yunxi said back then.
It's very appropriate.
The sun was setting very quickly.
Before Chen He could react, it was already a starry night.
The young man didn't seem to notice, just shouted as he walked.
......
There is a very strange sound in the world.
Lu Xiaoer sat on the flower path at the entrance of the town, looking at the sunset, and pricked up his ears in confusion.
It was as if someone was angrily complaining about their dissatisfaction far away.
"Grass!"
Is it the junior brother named Fu Jiangnan?
After Liu Qinghe left, the young boy asked some people in the town.
They said they saw a young sword cultivator leave the town with Mu Zihua.
Lu Xiaoer didn't know who Mu Zihua was, but the young sword cultivator was probably Fu Jiangnan.
Lu Xiaoer couldn't tell from the very slow and distant voice who it was.
He is not familiar with Fu Jiangnan.
Could it be that they were on the shore of the Great Lake, and something unhappy happened to him, so he was angry?
Lu Xiaoer held the broken Xiwu Sword and thought distractedly.
It was a long time before he heard the second word.
That's - hey!
It's like after scolding, I feel uncomfortable, and I have to ask, hey, I'm grass your mother, are you listening!
There was a smile on the corner of Lu Xiaoer's lips, and he looked towards the sword lake in the face of the autumn breeze that was very cool blowing through the sea of flowers.
It must be very pleasant to curse people like this.
I'm damn you, hey, do you hear me?
It's just that soon, Lu Xiaoer couldn't laugh, because when he heard the third word, he realized that he was a little too wrong.
That's a fluorescent word.
So that's not swearing, it's not asking.
Instead, someone is shouting the name of the grass as a firefly.
I just don't know why, those three words are so long apart.
Lu Xiaoer narrowed his eyes, sat up upright on the side of the road, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the sounds that came through the sea of mountains and flowers and the big lake.
It was a long time before he confirmed his guess.
Indeed, the grass is the firefly.
The little boy stood up with the remnant sword in his hand, and stood in the twilight of the world very blankly and looked around.
Who's calling the grass the name of the firefly?
Didn't he know that the grass was dead?
Lu Xiaoer was silent for a long time, originally planning to go through the sea of flowers that he didn't know why it had become so vast to look for it, but his physical fatigue made him have to dispel this idea.
So he held the remnant sword, sat down there again, sat upright, looked at the other side of the sea of flowers and mountains, and wanted to see what kind of person would come over.
......
It took Fu Jiangnan a long time to swing the boat all the way back from the water discharge of Sword Lake.
Tanuki-sama is really a tanuki cat.
Fu Jiangnan was startled when he saw the big cat that jumped out of the Yunwu Mountain cliff with a strong sense of oppression and landed on the edge of the big lake.
Even if the boat didn't capsize because of this, Fu Jiangnan was also apprehensive, and he sighed and thought that it was indeed extremely correct to prohibit the change of size anywhere.
The big cat turned into a kitten in the air, and then suddenly landed on Mu Zihua's shoulder, shook his tail, turned around, looked at Fu Jiangnan with an almost contemptuous gaze, and meowed very arrogantly.
Although Fu Jiangnan admitted that he was a real paddling throughout the whole process, he might even have done that Taoist a great favor because of a certain thought-otherwise Li Shi would not have thanked him after taking the peach blossoms.
But what do you mean by that?
If it weren't for the fact that the cat lying on Mu Zihua's shoulder was the cat in the Yunshan Great Lake before, Fu Jiangnan would have to ask it if his sword was sharp.
It's a pity that there won't be such an opportunity.
Fu Jiangnan sighed and looked at the shore of the lake that was getting closer and closer, this was the place where he and Mu Zihua left at that time, although some very shocking things happened in the Sword Lake.
It's just that such a peach tree by the lake is not affected at all, and it is still quietly blooming there.
Mu Zihua, who didn't say anything all the way, got off the boat, took off the basket at the head of the boat, and then looked back at Fu Jiangnan, who was still stunned on the boat, opened his mouth, and seemed to be a little speechless, but in the end he didn't say anything, just took the tanuki and went in the direction of the town.
Fu Jiangnan hurriedly got off the boat, stood by the lake, looked at Mu Zihua's back, and said a little anxiously: "Bai Yujing ......"
Mu Zihua stopped, looked down at Bai Yujing in his hand, and didn't speak for a long time.
Lord Tanuki lay on the girl's shoulder, and wanted to turn around and meow twice at the young man's sword cultivation, but suddenly as if he felt something, he turned his head very abruptly, looked at the other side of the sea of flowers in a twilight, and then didn't say anything, he jumped down, startled a line of flowers and plants, and disappeared there.
The girl probably didn't want to return such a sword to the boy.
It's just the usual kind of 'you say it's your sword, do you call it it's going to say yes?'
Because this sword will probably really promise.
Then he pierced through the great lake, dragging the sword light, cutting through this world, and heading towards the place where those demons outside the world were.
Bai Yujing is of course the sword of the Tianya Sword Sect.
Except for the name.
So even if Lord Tanuki suddenly said goodbye, Mu Zihua didn't care, just stood there, thinking about something very seriously, and thought about it for a long time before the girl raised her head again, looked at Fu Jiangnan and said, "This sword can't be given to you." β
Fu Jiangnan was silent for a while, and said softly: "Why? β
"Because I like it so much."
The shore of the lake fell silent suddenly.
When the starry night is approaching, the wind of the great lake comes through the clouds and mountains, blowing this sea of flowers very leisurely, blowing those peach blossoms in full bloom.
Fu Jiangnan stood there in astonishment.
He actually thought of a few reasons.
For example, this sword can pass through the boundaries of dreams and non-dreams, and bring in extraterrestrial demons like you.
For example, it can evoke a day, and the sword light is like the bright moon, illuminating the girl full of ice and snow.
It's just that I probably didn't think that Mu Zihua would say so calmly that she liked it too much.
Although it is said that you have to be a little chic, you don't have to pick a flower if you like a flower, and you don't have to let it stop if you like a cloud.
But at the end of the day, these are all suggestions.
Not a guideline, much less a truth.
Mu Zihua looked at Fu Jiangnan seriously and said, "So I really can't give it to you." β
If you really like a flower, of course you can pick it.
If you have the ability to stop a cloud, you are not breaking the law.
Fu Jiangnan was silent for a long time, and said softly: "I have a senior brother, a junior brother, and a master and an uncle, of course, these can't be used to bully people, because they may not even be able to win against me, but I just want to say that this sword is about whether we can become some mountains and rivers in the future - if I lose this sword, they.... The whole end of the world.... The entire Lingnan Sword Sect may not forgive me. β
In fact, at the beginning, Fu Jiangnan just wanted to find this sword, and the things about the Taoist were some extraneous things.
Mu Zihua was silent for a while, and said softly: "There are a lot of swords in the Sword Lake, and the grass left a lot of swords for Hotaru. β
Fu Jiangnan said sincerely: "I think so too. β
So the meaning of both is probably the same.
Why don't you like other swords?
It's just that soon the tone of this young man's sword cultivation changed, and he watched the girl gradually lift the sword in her hand, and the sword gradually lit up with white light.
Fu Jiangnan was shocked, but he quickly relieved his mouth and said more sincerely: "Of course, if you really like this sword, we can also let it be given to you, everyone is a good friend, and you won't treat me the same way you treat the enemy.....
It's just that Mu Zihua also looked at the sword in her hand with some surprise, until it was gone, swaying in the starry night, like a feather carrying the moonlight.
"That's not what I meant."
......
Chen He was first caught by the tanuki cat who had only seen him a few times and always liked to catch the little green finch raised by a child in the town, and suddenly pounced in the sea of flowers, and before he could react, he saw a long sword with a brilliant white light flying over and inserting it in front of him.
A series of events obviously overwhelmed him.
"This is Parrot Island? Yellow crane tower? Well? Bai Yujing! β
"What's this weird name? Why don't you call it the twelfth floor? β
So another sword called the twelfth floor fell in front of Chen He.
