The yellowed old man opened one of his tiny eyes, and the other had a small scar on it, and he looked closely at the young man in the hunchbacked old man's mouth. stared at it a few times, and didn't forget to look at the flower cat in front of Li Shuishan, with a mocking expression in his mouth.

"It's quite leisurely, with a green cloth bookshelf, it looks like a scholar who went to the capital to catch the exam in the snow. ”

"You might as well let me have the sword beside you, and I'll help you appreciate it. ”

Seeing that the old man was about to get the sword, Li Shuishan hurriedly pulled it up and said, "This sword is just an ordinary artifact, there is nothing peculiar. The old gentleman still don't look at it. ”

The old man withdrew his palm and nodded silently at Li Shuishan's precautionary heart, "I see that you are not a rich child, and you are wearing mediocre clothes, and your precautionary heart is not small, but I am not a bad person." ”

Li Shuishan smiled, not understanding what the old man meant.

"Looking at this nameless city from afar, hundreds of people go out every year, but no one returns. In this tuyere, the snow is reflected and the plum blossoms bloom dozens of times a day, and there are countless exotic varieties. ”

"If you go to the nameless city, I'm afraid you will walk in the wind and return in the snow. Dry is feasible, wet is not. ”

Li Shuishan didn't know that there was such a saying in this nameless city, but seeing that the two of them didn't see anything peculiar, he asked, "Then when can you march?"

Both of them were smiling.

The hunchbacked old man shook his head and did not answer the question head-on.

"Let me start with the peculiarities of this place. ”

"The mountain is a mountain of preserved fruits, thousands of feet high. There is a wonder in the mountain, that is, the rain and snow do not melt all the year round, and there are often a few chivalrous guests who drink and write poems live on it. They stepped on the snow and ice, moved the branches and leaves, and walked alone. When you look up, the sky is red and glowing, and the geese are piling up snow, and you can't see a single figure from far or near. ”

"Because of the wonder of the mountain, under the barrier, the ice is hanging, and there is a hot spring, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The heat was blown up by the wind and moistened the vent. However, when night comes, the temperature becomes extremely high, and the water vapor blows down the bay, and the whole body feels like it is boiling. The only thing that makes people feel mild is that there is a hint of coolness in the wind and snow. After mildness, the disadvantage comes out, that is, extreme cold, alternately. ”

"It's just that this malaise has been going back and forth lately, and you can't figure out the time, maybe you can't travel, so let's go back. ”

Li Shuishan didn't have any hesitation in his heart when he heard the old man's dissuasion, "Thank you two old gentlemen for your advice, it's just that Nameless City is still a place where I want to go alone." ”

The two old men saw that Li Shuishan had made up his mind, so they stopped persuading.

"It's just Nameless City, and we've never been there. But the people who can often be seen come out have an extraordinary temperament, holding various weapons in their hands, and they can easily melt the rain and snow on their clothes and rejuvenate their faces. Even if we look at it twice, it will be stinging. ”

After saying that, they seemed to have more unspeakable words.

Li Shuishan's guard in his heart also lowered a lot, and said to the two of them, "I don't know what to call the two?"

The two of them smiled and said in unison: "The two of us can be said to be connected by the same fate, and some people call me the second elder of the plum blossom before I came here." ”

The hunchbacked old man continued: "My name is Tang Ke, and I belong to the Tianchong region. ”

Another old man said, "My name is Mengshan." It belongs to Mongolian. ”

Li Shuishan said: "Why haven't you heard that there are still Mongolian countries and Tianchong regions?"

This question really made both of them bitter for a long time, Tang Ke said: "The Tianchong region belongs to the north of Jiangzhou and the west of Chushui country. You can see it over the top of the desert. ”

"The top of the desert .....," Li Shuishan muttered.

In Li Shuishan's memory, he never remembered that there was a region in the north of the desert, and only Chu Shui Guo and Shui Zhou Guo knew about it, which belonged to the territory of Jianzhou. More as Meng Jian said, the country of Mongolia is a little rusty, but there are some impressions. But what made him even more puzzling was why he was here.

Mengshan's face was full of sorrow, and he said: "Mengguo is the border of Chushui Country, the terrain is neither high nor low, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Mongolia was a conquest country, and like Chushui, it had strict armament and defense. ”

"How did those two old gentlemen get here?"

They didn't know who answered Li Shuishan's question first, causing some memories in their hearts, seeing that the two were sluggish, Li Shuishan felt that this question was a little inappropriate, but the two elders of the plum blossom looked at each other and said bitterly: "We have a bad fate, and we can't go back to home, just like a wanderer who has traveled all over the mountains and roads, and sees his mother sewing clothes under the lamp in his hand to see him off." ”

"The wanderer can't send the two old gentlemen here to watch the rain and snow, but he sees the two confidants to spend the rest of their lives together. ”

"It's also fate. ”

"Fate?" Tang Ke was worried and frowned, "I have no fate with this one, it's all helpless." I was walking in the fields when a strong wind blew and took all my clothes away. As soon as I blew again, I was swept into the sky. As soon as my mother saw me off at the entrance of the village, the moment I opened my eyes, I saw rain and snow falling from the sky, and a pair of wild boars were on my head.

There was also an old woman who came to tease me, and I was so good at that time that I was looked at and found it a little unbearable. I ran away and was blown back by the wind again, and when I opened my eyes again, I was in this place, and I could never get out. How can I resist that power as a mortal. ”

He said some strange experiences, and thought that he would surprise Li Shuishan for a long time, but Li Shuishan looked calm and did not move in the slightest, and said:

"Didn't you go after the source of this power?"

Tang Ke nodded, "Why not, but it's all useless." But since then, I have understood that this force must have been the work of the monks of the Nameless City, and that it was a joke that I had been driven here. ”

"Teasing?" the word immediately appeared in Li Shuishan's mind.

"There are rats in this nameless city, playing with others to achieve their own ends. ”

Hearing these words, my understanding of the Nameless City is even more profound, and I am afraid that it is even more dangerous than it is now. Besides, the energy in his heart has also disappeared, and it is still a little difficult to find Xiaoyun alone and kill the fourth son Langbai. It's not because of his lack of courage, but that he really can't practice martial arts, and he can't play swords.

"No, the heart of the Taoist, you must definitely move forward. Whether it is a writer or a kidnapper, they all have to rely on their own influence and get rid of them. ”

"Only in this way can you be like a storyteller, able to speak and kill. ”

He secretly thought of these in his heart, and then put down his sword, and heard the other one of the two elders of the plum blossom next to him, Meng Shan said: "There may be more than this in this city, the undercurrent flows, although you may lose your life at any time." ”

"I am a martial artist. So at that time, when I saw the little brother's sword, I felt a little unbearable in my heart, and I wanted to touch it. But when I trekked through the country of Chu Shui from Mongolia, there was a desert that blocked my way, and there were many creatures in it that could swallow a big man in an instant. I just came here because of my small life, and it can be regarded as a catastrophe that I won't die. ”

"But when I saw this little brother, I was a little happy in my heart, and when I was young, I was just like you, constantly moving around. Now, it's a bit sad, but it can be regarded as a good home at the tuyere. ”

Li Shuishan felt a trace of sympathy for him inexplicably, just like a sentence, the old have something to rely on, and the family has warmth. At their age, their parents may have long since died, their homes are not as warm and warm as other people's homes, and people cannot be independent and free.

"The second elder of the plum blossom turned out to have such an extraordinary experience. Hearing this, they became curious about Li Shuishan and asked, "What are you going to the Nameless City for?"

Li Shuishan had some things that were inconvenient to talk about, so he said:

"To finish all that I have left undone, and Nameless City is just a place for me to pass through. ”

Meng Shan's eyes flashed with a little essence, his eyes glanced at the sword that Li Shuishan put down from time to time, and sighed, "Little brother, I have always wanted to see the beauty of your sword, I have touched many swords, and I am extremely curious about your sword for the first time, I just want to see ....."

Seeing his extremely shocked eyes, I was afraid that if he didn't show this old man, he would feel uneasy when he closed his eyes. Li Shuishan slowly took away the cloth on the sword, revealing this rustic long sword.

It was also the first time for Li Shuishan to observe the sword so clearly, and when he picked up the long sword on the stone platform just now, he was also reluctant to take a few more looks. This time, he saw the smoothness of the sword body, the blade was like autumn frost, and the cold light was shining, leaving a clearly visible sword light in his eyes, which slowly ended down.

He had never seen a sword so beautiful and so rustic, so lustrous.

The second elder of the plum blossom stared at each other, pointed to the sword tremblingly, and said, "Sword, fairy sword....."

"It turned out to be a fairy sword", the two of them couldn't help but kneel on the ground and kowtow a few times.

Li Shuishan was puzzled, the sword did not have any power in his eyes, and he put away the sword. The second elder of the plum blossom knelt on the ground and didn't get up, "Just now we came to block the fairy sword inheritor from walking unreasonably, and I deserve death." ”

These words made Li Shuishan even more puzzled, as if they had a lot of knowledge about this sword, and some of the words they had just said were exhausted, so they asked, "How do you know that this sword is an immortal sword?"

They trembled and said, "We haven't finished our words just now, and some of them might as well tell others." I only know that someone has a message to tell us that when a young man passes through this place with a sword, he respectfully welcomes him. Can't cause him to be displeased, but...."

"But what?" asked Li Shuishan.

"But although the sword is an ordinary sword, it can be seen clearly in our eyes. At a glance, you can see the aura in the sword, accompanied by a faint smell of immortals. ”

Li Shuishan was very puzzled about what he was seeing, so he wanted to hear their description, and the second elder of the plum blossom said: "Don't go to the nameless city, it seems that there is a trap, and someone asked me to tell you here." ”

"Who?" Li Shuishan said as he suppressed his mood.

"It was an old man in a black robe, with no face shown. ”

"The old man in the black robe?" he muttered, unable to figure out who the old man was.

"Get up and speak. Immediately, the two stood up, half-hunched over, very respectful.

"I'll move on tomorrow, but here you are, I'd love to know what's going on in this nameless city. I also hope that you will answer truthfully. ”

The two elders of the plum blossoms looked at each other, as if there was something unspeakable.
