Chapter 256

The mountains are majestic and undulating for hundreds of miles.

Among the mountains far away from the world and long untouched, there is an exquisite pavilion, a welcoming pine with branches protruding from the waist, and a table with tea.

The swordsman talks to the mountain god.

"Please have some tea."

"Thank you."

The swordsman was tired all the way, and he happened to be thirsty.

There is nothing to worry about and be cautious about, and there is no need to shirk and refuse, just hold the teacup, raise your head and drink it in one gulp, showing a heroic temperament.

Frowning, he put down the teacup again.

"Gollum..."

Water bubbled from the bottom of the cup, and the teacup was full again.

"Enter the Dao with martial arts?"

The mountain god looked at him with a smile.

"How do you know?"

"I have been here as a god for more than 1000 years. The road used to be much more prosperous than it is now." The mountain god pointed to the mountain road with few people but no weeds behind the swordsman, and seemed to be a little emotional. Walking here will get boring after a long time, and I have also talked with the world's top warriors."

"I see."

"It can be seen that you have reached the edge of martial arts, and you are only one step away."

"It's still a long way off."

The mountain god shook his head and smiled. He didn't want to talk about it, but continued to ask: "Are you from Xueyuan?"

"Hezhou is to the north of Guijun. It was originally named Heyuan and borders Yanzhou." The swordsman will understand, and in detail, "Heyuan is 250 miles long and [-] miles wide. The innate gods of Dize, because of the chaos of the war, their morality has increased, they have turned into monsters, entrenched one side, and harmed the people. It has been more than ten years. Last year, I went to Hezhou with my husband, and this year I went to the snowfield to eliminate demons."

"What about Tiangong?"

"The Heavenly Palace is wiped out every year, but I heard that the monster has a great life-saving supernatural power. If the underground spirit pool is not drained, or the Xueyuan's vitality is wiped out, otherwise it cannot be wiped out."

"There is such an ability."

"Sir, he doesn't want the fertile fields of grain to be turned into barren land, and there is no mountain in the whole Gui County, so Tuo Shu came here, borrowed a mountain from the mountain god, and suppressed it."

"I see."

Although the mountain god has a bad temper and a pure nature, after all, he has lived for thousands of years and has seen a lot. He knows the trick after thinking about it for a while.

Why turn Heyuan into a snowfield?

Why use mountains to town water?
Why do you come to borrow mountains from yourself?

It was clear in an instant.

If you think about it more, you can also taste the benefits of this matter for yourself.

When he came back to his senses, the swordsman was still looking at him.

His eyes seemed to be asking, but also urging.

The mountain god smiled slightly at him.

"Please drink tea."

"..." The swordsman picked up his teacup again, took a sip, and said to him, "Sir, you only need a random hill."

"How can it be casual?"

"Your Excellency means..."

"I wonder if I can wait a moment?"

"Shu came from Hezhou, five thousand miles away, and has been walking for six days, so there is no rush."

"Six days?"

The mountain god also seemed a little surprised, then turned to look at the black horse resting and grazing beside him, and said, "A thousand-mile horse is hard to find."

The swordsman wanted to be modest, saying that it was just an ordinary horse, or that it was all thanks to the master, but when he got to the point of speaking, he thought of his attitude towards the bay red horse and the three-flowered cat, so he said:
"Exactly."

"Ha ha……"

The mountain god smiled generously, and then said, "Just wait a moment!"

"call……"

The mountain wind blew past, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

There are only pavilions, welcoming pine trees and tea on the table left on the mountainside.

The swordsman smacked his mouth, put down his teacup, and sat quietly, meditating on the way of swordsmanship while waiting for the return of the mountain god.

The mountain wind blows, a little cool.

After waiting like this for at least a long time, another gust of wind blew, and there was no sound around him, and the mountain god appeared.

At this time, the mountain god was carrying a small wooden box.

The wooden box was about the size of a book and about one finger high. It was made of unknown wood, dark red in color and textured, with a buckle but no lock. The mountain god put it on the table and pushed it to the swordsman.

"This is……"

"Mountain!"

"Mountain?"

The swordsman took it solemnly, feeling weightless in his hand, as if what he was holding was just an empty box.

"This mountain is considered to be a gift from me to your husband. I don't ask for it back. It's just that this road is becoming more and more deserted. If you go back to Pingzhou in the future, you should come to me for another cup of tea." The mountain god said Then, he stared at the swordsman with a slight smile, "Although you may not be able to open it, I have to remind you not to open it casually."

"Shu knows!"

"It's late today, and you've been waiting for a long time. The mountain is deserted, so I won't keep you. Go down the mountain. If you're in a hurry, you can spend the night in the city below the mountain."

"Thank you sir! Farewell!"

The swordsman immediately got up and saluted with his sword in his arms.

Just as he walked out of the pavilion, he heard a voice behind him.

"People from the rivers and lakes."

"Ok?"

The swordsman turned around in doubt.

I saw the mountain god sitting in front of the table in the pavilion drinking tea, turned to look at him, and said with a smile: "I once heard a chivalrous man who practiced martial arts in ancient times say: When thinking hard, the most troublesome. No progress, might as well try to spend a few days... doing nothing."

"do nothing?"

"Do nothing, don't think about anything." The mountain god said leisurely, "Maybe after a few days, you will forget some things you shouldn't be attached to, and you will find some things you missed before, or you will have new experiences."

"..."

The swordsman was thoughtful, and then hugged his sword again: "Thank you, Your Excellency, Mountain God, Shu is gone."

Be more sincere this time.

Then get on the horse.

When he rode his horse and left, he looked back and saw that the mountain roadside was just a pile of weeds. There were no pavilions or ancient pine trees, and the mountain god had disappeared without a trace.

Everything remained silent.

"thorough!"

The black horse galloped up the mountain.

When going down the mountain, the sun has already set to the west, and it has already set to the horizon at the foot of the mountain. It is really time to go to the city to rest for a night.

For the past few days, I have been tossed and tired. I don't know how the black horse is. Anyway, the swordsman's body is also a bit tired.Staying overnight in an inn in the city would not take much time compared to staying overnight in a barren mountain. The swordsman just wanted to take a hot bath, change into the spare clothes, and give the black horse a good meal.

This place is called Nanhua, a small town.

It was dusk when we entered the city.

The swordsman didn't beat his horse in the city, but got off his horse and walked slowly after entering the city, leading the horse slowly along the dark streets.

This place is completely different from Hezhou.

This place is prosperous and stable.

There are also shops open at dusk.

But the swordsman remembered the words of the mountain god, so he really let go of his mind, stopped meditating on his kendo all the time, turned to look at the streets he passed by, and the people sitting at the door chatting in the evening, and looked at him with curiosity. The faces that came over looked at each other, also looking for the inn.

Suddenly, another thing came to mind——

When Mr. Xu entered Pingzhou from Xuzhou, it seemed that he took this old abandoned road, so he must have come to Nanhua County.

Probably also into the city.

Maybe the street I walked through at this time was the street that Mr. Zeng walked through. The people I met now may have met Mr. Zeng a few years ago.

It feels a little more strange.

Finally found an inn named Jingfu.

The swordsman walked over without thinking.

"Tuk Tuk..."

Although the door was open, he knocked on the door frame.

The innkeeper immediately came out from the backyard and asked him if he wanted to stay in the inn. He was very enthusiastic and said that there was just the last room left in the inn. Then he led the horse to the stable and took him to the room.

Luggage can be put down, but boxes and swords cannot.

"The guest officer is a quack?"

"Idlers."

"Did you just enter the city?"

"Just entered the city."

"Then I guess I haven't eaten dinner yet, what do I want to eat?" The shopkeeper didn't dare to ask what was in the box, and didn't care, just looked at him with a smile.

"My Marco has to be given the best concentrate."

"Okay, the finest ingredients."

Only then did the swordsman feel relieved, and sat down and asked, "What do you have here?"

"Hey, this is not a small shop bragging. If you want to say that the best food here is soup cakes. If you want to say which one is the best, it must be the fairy noodles of the small shop. Even the gods are full of praise after eating it." The owner of the shop said to him with a smile, "Although some people in other houses have begun to call this soup cake Shenxian Noodles, but no one in Nanhua County knows that the most authentic one is in the small shop. Last year when the county guard took office, I heard that The deeds of the gods, I even came to the shop from the county to eat once."

"What fairy face?"

"It's Nanhua soup cakes, thin and wide soup cakes, a bowl of well-cooked bone soup, only [-] yuan, and a stick bone."

"Why this name?"

"The guest officer doesn't know something. Four years ago, there was a fairy who turned into a mortal and walked in the world. He came to our place and lived in a small shop. He stayed there for several days. I ate them all, and they were full of praise when I left, saying that I would come to eat again if I had the opportunity.” The shop owner was happy, his face was full of pride, “The shop has been like a day for several years, and the freshest sticks are selected every day. Gu, cook the soup carefully, and buy the best noodles, don't dare to be sloppy at all, just wait for the gods to come back to eat again."

"immortal?"

The swordsman looked a little dazed, but said: "Isn't it a lie?"

"Oh, don't dare! You will be struck by lightning! Everyone in Nanhua County knows it, so who dares to tell lies?"

"tell me the story."

"This……"

"Come three bowls!"

"Three bowls?"

"Go ahead!"

"okay!"

The shopkeeper went in and ordered the kitchen, and then came out again, and then he explained it to the swordsman in detail.

The swordsman listened and seldom spoke.

Although I have followed my husband in Hezhou to eliminate demons for a year, I don’t know how many demons and ghosts have been eliminated, and how many villains and evil people have been brought down, but I came here by accident, stayed in the city overnight, and came to this store by accident. Telling the story, I still feel strange in my heart.

It was as if I ran into my husband from four years ago here.

Presumably, when Mr. Lai heard about the changes in this place in the past four years, he would feel a lot of emotion in his heart, right?

After listening patiently, the swordsman smiled slightly.

At this moment, there is no way of swordsmanship in my heart.

After eating three bowls of soup cakes in the evening, taking a hot bath, eating three more bowls the next morning, saying goodbye to the store, leading the horse through the entire Nanhua, then re-mounted the horse and galloped away.

This matter is urgent, and there is still no delay.

Although the speed on the way back remains the same, it’s just that it’s no longer the same as when I came here. I’m always thinking about swordsmanship when I’m on a horse. Cut it off, and Lu Yushan's sword was also stained with blood.

Occasionally drinking tea by the side of the official road, some people who are not particular about seeing him alone, but always guarding a small wooden box, think it is a treasure, and they also pick up unmanned geomantic treasures to find a dead end.

Finally entered Hezhou again and arrived at Guijun.

After passing the Beifeng Pass, you will reach the snowfield.

It's really a long journey to ride alone.

……

Golden Jasmine has launched a plan to save expired monthly tickets——

It's the end of the month again, and the monthly pass in my hand is about to expire. It's a waste not to vote, why not vote for Jasmine!Every monthly ticket baby hopes to have a home, come and save them!
