Metropolis: The Rise of Chinese Arts

Zhang Nian originally wanted to send some of his remaining intact things to the old man.

But when he came to the cave, he found that the cave had already been emptied.

The simple things in the cave have disappeared.

All that's left is a hole that's been pulled out.

There is shade everywhere in the cave.

Zhang Nian walked around the cave twice and found nothing.

He sighed, put all the things in his hand into the hole, bowed towards the middle direction, turned and left.

Back at the camp, Zhang Nian took care of the rest and bowed towards the abyss.

"Seniors, don't worry, I'm going to avenge you."

After packing up his things, Zhang Nian turned around and went down the mountain with his things.

When returning to the foot of the mountain, Zhang Nian immediately found the ruined temple.

According to the direction Bai Yidao told him when we broke up before, he walked forward for a few miles.

Sure enough, I saw a dozen families by a river not far away.

This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, so it is a good place to go. Moreover, there are almost no roads leading to the outside around this place.

Zhang Nian waded across the river, and saw an old woman washing clothes by the river.

He walked over, smiled and said.

"Mother, don't you know that there is a person named Bai Yidao here?"

The old woman raised her head, glanced at Zhang Nian with cloudy eyes, and said.

"What kind of knife? I don't know. I have lived here for many years, and I have never heard of any kind of knife."

Zhang Nian froze for a moment, then looked towards the village.

This village is not too big, with more than a dozen households, at most dozens of people.

It was time to be free, and almost everyone was already outside.

At a glance, basically everyone in the village can be seen.

But among these people, there was no Bai Yidao that Zhang Nian was looking for.

He walked around the village, turned around in disappointment and wanted to leave.

As soon as I walked out of the village, I saw a child running over.

Holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand, he ran to Zhang Nian and said.

"Big brother, there is an uncle looking for you over there."

Zhang Nian was taken aback, then turned his head to look, and saw that the direction the child was pointing at turned out to be the back mountain of the village.

He slapped his forehead suddenly, yes.

This Bai Yidao seemed like an unworldly person, how could he live with these villagers.

He must have found a place by himself and lived by himself.

Fortunately, this child, otherwise, he would have left without thanking him properly.

Zhang Nian, led by the child, walked towards a small mountain road next to him.

When he reached a clearing, the child turned and went down the hill.

Zhang Nian looked up, and saw that there was a thatched cottage on the open space next to him.

In front of the thatched hut, there is a large piece of land where many things are planted.

There is a big tree in front of the house with lush branches and leaves.

Under the tree, there was actually a small pond where Bai Yidao was fishing.

Zhang Nian walked over, smiled and said.

"Brother Bai, you are here. It's hard for me to find you."

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

Bai Yidao didn't look back, but asked softly.

As if afraid of scaring your own fish.

Zhang Nian had already walked in front of his eyes at this time, and only then could he see clearly that the pond Bai Yidao was fishing in was not that big.

There are a lot of fish in it, but the strange thing is that none of these fish bite the hook.

"What are you looking at?"

When Zhang Nian was in a daze, he saw that Bai Yidao had put down the fishing rod. He stood up and looked at Zhang Nian.

Zhang Nian smiled, pulled out the knife from his waist, and handed it over.

"Oh, I'm here to return your precious sword."

Bai Yidao frowned, took the knife and took it out for a closer look.

He looked up at Zhang Niandao.

"Did you meet any strange people on the mountain?"

"weirdo?"

Zhang Nian was taken aback for a moment and said.

"Yes, of course there are, and there are many more."

"What? A lot?"

This time it was Bai Yidao's turn to be surprised.

He looked at Zhang Nian puzzled, as if looking at a fool, and said.

"How could there be many? Sit down and tell me who you have met."

Zhang Nian looked up and looked into the distance. Although it was still early, it would be noon soon.

When he went down the mountain, he spent a lot of time just packing up and going to the old man's cave.

"What do you want to see? Don't worry. We will have lunch here at noon. If you go down the mountain, you will be able to see the main city of Qingyun City in less than half a day. At that time, just take a taxi and go directly to your destination. "

Zhang Nian smiled awkwardly and said.

"That's right, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

As he said that, he sat down and began to recall the strange people he met in his mind.

Going to the mountain, there are indeed some strange people, the masked man is very strange, Xu Hui, the white old man, and the group of people who look like walking dead are all very strange.

He didn't know who Bai Yidao was going to ask.

etc.
Zhang Nian's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Bai Yidao.

At this time, Bai Yidao was putting the short knife into the scabbard, looking at it carefully.

He walked over slowly, put down the knife, and sat down beside the table.

"Why, did you find anything?"

Bai Yidao looked at Zhang Nian and smiled.

Zhang Nian was surprised and delighted at this moment, looking at Bai Yidao.

"I met an old man. He said that his surname was also Bai, and he also said that the knife belonged to him. Could it be?"

"That's right, you guessed it right, the old man is my father, and the knife is indeed his, but he can't use it anymore."

"I see. When I was leaving, I wanted to thank you in person, but I couldn't find anyone. I hope Brother Bai would thank your father for me."

Bai Yidao waved his hand, as if he disdained this set of red tape.

He smiled.

"It's useless. I guessed it a long time ago. He will definitely not let me find him, so I can't bring you this word."

Zhang Nian was taken aback, not knowing what Bai Yidao meant.

At this time, Bai Yidao didn't seem to want to mention it again, he pushed the knife forward and said.

"Didn't he ask you to get the knife back?"

Zhang Nian thought about it carefully, it seems that the old man Bai didn't have any demands on himself other than saying that the knife belonged to him at the beginning.

The knife didn't mention going back either.

Thinking of this, he shook his head.

Bai Yidao smiled and said.

"That's fine. He doesn't even want the knife, so it's for you. Take it with you."

"It's not good."

"It's very good. I let you take it up just to let him see it. If he didn't ask you for it, then this is yours."

Zhang Nian was stunned for a moment, seeing that Bai Yidao seemed to have a firm attitude, he could only nod his head and put the knife away.
