Chapter 51: You Don't See, the Water of the River Styx
Peach blossoms are always going to bloom.
It's as if it had to wither away after leaving some special power.
I don't know what the reason is, when Nandao sat on the edge of those white flower forests refining his sword intent, he suddenly had a very palpitating feeling.
It was as if something was slowly peeling away from his body, falling into the invisible distance.
Is it the blue-black burn marks on the sword that have been sharpened off by itself?
The boy lowered his head and looked at the sword clay beside him.
The water in the grinding sword mud had been steamed away by the sword intent around the young man's body, and it was sprinkled around him at this time, like some burned trees and shaking ashes.
It's like the ashes of a peach tree that has been burned down.
The young man didn't know why, but suddenly such a sentence flashed through his mind.
The woman in the lake also noticed the abnormality, and turned her head very abruptly, looking at the contemplative young man by the lake, showing some surprised looks.
"Your breath..... Why is it declining? ”
Qiu Xi'er's usual cold voice also carried some incomprehensible emotions.
It's just that the young man didn't answer, but a fine snow wind blew beside him, and a peach blossom figure dressed in white appeared next to Nandao.
"I remembered something."
Peach Blossom's voice was very cold.
Qiu Xi'er raised her eyes and looked at the man who suddenly appeared, and the clouds and mist in the world stopped for a moment, and at that moment, there was about a sword intent coming from the cliff, but in the end, it slowly dissipated.
Although this was the first time she had seen this man with a peach blossom face that looked like a demon, but the aura around him was no different from Nandao, and even at this moment, the aura was also declining with the boy.
Before Nandao could say anything, the three of them looked at the southwest of the world in the next moment.
At that moment, an ancient and vast aura broke through the clouds and came straight into the great lake.
After a while, the three of them finally saw clearly that it was the sword and cliff sword intent, and they all had to avoid the existence of three points.
It was a river.
The River Styx hanging over the heads of the world.
Qiu Xi'er's expression changed, and she stood up on the big lake, and the sword hairpin behind the mustache slipped down, fell into her palm, and turned into cold light.
It's just that the woman was also silent at the moment when she held the sword, and she didn't make any moves, just stood there quietly, looking up at the River Styx quietly.
The boy stood under the umbrella, and at that moment, he also remembered many things.
For example, a young man in a green dress, holding scissors, climbed on a peach tree, and pruned some branches very seriously, or.
Or before that, something much earlier.
It was by the Nanyi River, some conversations with rats.
I'm going to die.....
Then he appeared in the garden of the Sword Sect, and in front of the little girl named Cong Xin, he broke off the peach blossom on his shoulder and handed it to her.
By the Peach Blossom Creek Bridge, a conversation with that white-clothed sword cultivator.
In the small bamboo garden at dusk, I said very sadly to the young gentleman that I was really afraid of death.
Until the peach blossom finally grows in the heart, absorbing the last bit of vitality, and then slowly withering.
Nandao was silent for a while, reached out and untied his clothes, and sure enough, there he saw a weak peach branch that was poking out its buds.
"The grass is for him..... I guess I would have cut off this cause and effect in the first place. ”
The young man's voice was very soft, very lamenting.
The peach blossoms are stagnant in the wind, they are the peach blossoms in the heart, and they are also the peach blossoms on the face of the man in white.
It was about an icy emotion.
"Someone brought Peach Blossom out of Heavenly Town."
"I also brought back peach blossoms from Heavenly Town."
"At that time, the grass was still in the world, and the heavenly town at that time had not yet begun to be separated from people. And ....."
Peach Blossom turned her head to look at the northwest direction of the world.
"Someone reconnected that peach blossom with the cause and effect of the world."
"Outside the gates?"
"Li Shi."
This conversation came to an end in a very simple name.
The young man raised his head and quietly looked at the river in the world, and said softly: "It seems that there will never be a shortage of people in this world who want me to die." ”
The woman in the white dress standing quietly in the lake lowered her head and looked at the young man by the white flower forest for a long time.
Probably she also thought that this was a story that was finally going to be quiet.
The young man met Qiu Xi'er's gaze, took a long breath, and then spit it out, smiled slightly at the woman who was still stepping on the high cliff holding the sword but hesitated, and said softly: "Sir, don't be embarrassed. ”
The boy stood under the umbrella, looking at the river Styx coming here with great calm, and also looked down at the peach blossom in his heart that was opening and might soon decay.
"I'm going to die."
......
Of course, the people of the town also saw the river Styx, and people ran out of their houses and watched this scene in great alarm.
How have the people of the East China Sea ever seen such a scene?
The river Styx, which seemed to have been deceived and insulted, came with surging anger, and the world was thunderous and stormy.
Only such a 3,000-zhang high cliff, with clouds and mist, stood in front of the river, like a blue-gray sword.
The torrential rain soon fell on this world, carrying the extremely cold water of the River Styx, pouring on the world, which can turn white and green silk, turn flesh and blood, ecstasy, and destroy the spirit.
The world hastily hid under the eaves and under umbrellas.
Wang Xiaoer didn't look at those things, but at the beginning, he was a little shocked, and then he turned his head and looked at His Majesty Kamigawa, who was just sitting by the window from beginning to end, with a hidden irony.
The man in the black robe was very calm, listening to the sound of the rain, eating the last bite of noodles, and then putting down the chopsticks in his hand.
"Cong Blade is right, your noodles are indeed delicious."
If it wasn't delicious, probably wouldn't let this man who held the world sit here and eat three bowls in a row, as if he was going to eat three meals a day in the world.
Wang Xiaoer thought proudly that after all, I am the person with the name of the undefeated Wang Xiaoer in the kitchen, and said slowly: "Since Your Majesty has eaten the noodles of the world, then you must do something for the world, the person who holds the sword will always only fall the sword light to the world, what kind of sword cultivation is it?" ”
The emperor didn't get angry, he didn't even have any emotion, he just blew some dust off his sleeves, then stood up, walked out of the noodle shop, stood under the eaves, and quietly watched the rain of the River Styx.
The look of disappointment in Wang Xiaoer's eyes became more and more obvious.
Aren't you the three swords in the world?
What about your sword?
Aren't you the emperor of the world?
What about your million-strong master?
Shouldn't you wave your sword and then step into the sky, cut the River Styx with a sword, and still be clear in the world?
Wang Xiaoer was very sarcastic and proud, thinking that at this moment, standing on the moral high ground, he was shining brightly and could not be looked at directly.
It's just that the emperor next to him stretched out a hand and spread it out in front of Wang Xiaoer.
Wang Xiaoer looked at the hand and said with a hippie smile: "Your Majesty hasn't eaten yet, there is no fourth bowl of noodles to eat today, we are all going to die!" ”
The smiling shopkeeper, after saying the last sentence, suddenly covered his face and cried, and then jumped three feet high, pointing at Kamigawa's face and scolding.
"Son of a bitch, what are you? When the sword light hits the East China Sea, you are the third sword in the world, and when the River Styx comes, you will watch the play here and pretend to be dead, Kamigawa, I will fuck your eighteenth generation ancestor! ”
Kamigawa turned his head and looked at the noodle shopkeeper who had finally gone crazy because he saw the River Styx, and didn't say anything, just walked past him, picked up an off-white oil-paper umbrella hanging by the window, stretched it out, and walked quietly towards the outside of the stormy town of the high heavenly river.
Wang Xiaoer was not afraid of the damage to his lifespan, and chased after him in the heavy rain.
At this point, Kamigawa finally turned around calmly, looked at the man who was chasing after him and was scolding, and calmly asked a question.
"Did you go down to the river to take a bath when you were a child?"
Wang Xiaoer was stunned and didn't know what this meant.
Kamigawa turned around with his umbrella in his hand and left the town in the wind and rain.
It's probably that he has actually the eighteenth generation of Kamigawa's ancestors.
In a sense, Styx is indeed the ancestor of Kamigawa.
This river demon, many years ago, was born in Autumn Water, a river known as the tail of the River Styx.
......
On the stormy lake, the three of them looked at the emperor who came through the rain of the River Styx with an umbrella in amazement.
Who would have thought that Kamigawa would be here at this time?
It's just that unlike the last time, the attitudes of the boy and the woman on the cliff have obviously changed.
There is no such sharp-for-tat atmosphere, just the calm of looking at each other in the wind and rain.
"Your Majesty."
The young man under the umbrella respectfully hugged his sword and saluted.
Peach Blossom bent slightly, but did not speak.
Only the woman in the big lake looked at the black-robed emperor under the beige umbrella with a complicated expression.
The original words of the grass for the firefly still linger in my ears.
Qiu Xi'er didn't speak, but just looked at the emperor slowly coming from the lake for a long time.
Kamigawa stopped in the middle of the big lake, glanced at the young man, and also at the peach blossom beside the young man, didn't say anything, just moved his eyes to Qiu Xi'er on the side, and said calmly: "Can the cliff master borrow a sword?" ”
Qiu Xi'er looked deeply at this human emperor, and didn't say anything, just the high cliff clouds and mist, at this moment, all dispersed.
If he can pick it up, why not give it to him?
It's time for the Grinding Sword Cliff to disappear.
The words of Cao Weiying are still very clear, with a sense of fate that has been devastated by the regrettable years, lingering in Qiu Xi'er's ears.
She clenched the sword several times, released it several times, and finally turned into a sword hairpin, fell back to her head, and coiled up the green silk like the arrogant little daughter-in-law next door.
"Your Majesty can be the cliff master."
The voice of the man who was holding the umbrella and climbing the cliff came very calmly.
"It could be a little later."
All that was left of the great lake was the sound of wind and rain and the thunder that fell from the sky.
A bolt of lightning illuminated the complicated face of the boy under the umbrella at the edge of the forest.
"I thought the gentleman would hold on to something."
This is actually a bit regrettable, I knew that Mr. didn't want to be alone on the cliff, there are some things, why be so tactful?
Qiu Xi'er just calmly looked up at the man who was walking up in a black imperial robe and walking in the rain of the surging cliff.
"Because ....."
"In this world, only Your Majesty can cut off today's life and death for you."
When the boy heard this, he understood.
The woman in the lake, in fact, has never taken his sentence I will die to heart.
The woman didn't care what the young man was thinking, she just raised her hand calmly, pinched the sword technique, and thousands of sword intents came from the clouds and mist, and finally turned into a light green bamboo sword intent, which fell into the young man's hand.
"Let's go to Guanwai and bring back that peach blossom."
Qiu Xi'er glanced up at the high cliff, then lowered her head, headed towards the south of the world, and stepped out of the Zaisi Lake, never on the high cliff.
"I'll help you with the rest."
