According to Li Xiu Ping's original idea, he planned to place the master and servant in Tianchan Temple. Although Tianchan Temple is not among the Nine Gates, Eight Sages, Seven Sages and Four Cities, its heritage is no less than that of the Nine Gates. With Tianchan Temple taking care of it, no one would dare to go to Tianchan Temple even if Tianchan Temple didn't do anything deliberately. If they want to cause trouble in the temple, if they leave some spiritual stones, they can ensure that they have enough food and clothing throughout their lives.
In addition, Tianchan Temple is not too far from Puyun Mountain. After settling them down, Guanchao Academy can also help take care of them, killing two birds with one stone.
Although the Puyunshan matter delayed a lot of time, Li Xiuping felt a lot more relaxed after solving the matter.
Now, apart from anything else, at least the war between Chi Qiu and Bai Chi can be avoided, and thousands of people can be spared the suffering of war. Li Xiuping naturally feels a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and feels that his life has gained a little more. significance.
On the way, Master Qingming said: "To be honest, I didn't expect that the academy would send someone directly here. Although the gentlemen of the academy have always been responsible for educating the common people, the matter in Puyun Mountain is after all related to the demon clan. If it is the demon clan, Before the invasion, I can understand how the academy handled it this way, but now that the situation is turbulent and the academy has no time to take care of itself, it is really hard to understand that it can still handle it like this."
Li Xiuping also nodded. He himself did not expect that Puyunshan would not only agree, but would even directly send a monk in the transformation stage to take charge of Puyunshan's affairs. This was beyond his expectation.
He was also worried that the academy would not agree to his proposal, so he mentioned the word "three hundred years" in his letter just to remind the academy that he, Li Xiuping, had helped the academy obtain the right to use the ancient battlefield ruins for three hundred years. , letting the Academy help Puyun Mountain for three hundred years is considered a deal, and this deal is not excessive.
In other words, even if it is because of the ruins of the ancient battlefield, the academy cannot refuse Li Xiuping's proposal, but at most they can only reply to a letter to express their attitude, and will not directly send a strong man in the transformation stage. After all, Guanchao Academy's current situation Li Xiuping was also very clear about the situation, so much so that he once doubted whether his proposal was correct and whether it would embarrass Guanchao Academy. But in his heart, he felt that this was how the matter should be handled, as it seemed to be in line with the college's code of conduct.
Facts have proved that what he felt in his heart was correct. His handling of Puyun Mountain was obviously in compliance with Guanchao Academy's code of conduct. Otherwise, even if he brought up the remains of the ancient battlefield as a threat, even if he is now a junior student of Guanchao Academy, Uncle Master, Guanchao Academy has this attitude.
In other words, because of the incident at Puyun Mountain, Li Xiuping became more confident and knew that his behavior was in line with the academy's guidelines, so he was worthy of his status as the academy's junior master uncle. In addition, knowing the academy's code of conduct, he will know how to deal with similar things in the future without being as hesitant as before.
Li Xiuping said slowly: "Perhaps it is precisely because we did not expect it that the academy can become the leader of Confucianism and have owned one of the seven holy places for thousands of years."
The layman Qingming nodded and said with a smile: "'Establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations.' I used to think that this was just a slogan of the Confucian scholars, but now I see Come on, I do have misunderstandings about the Confucian people. It turns out that they not only say it, but also do it. Even if the situation does not allow it, they will try their best to create conditions. This incident at Puyun Mountain is the best proof. "
Li Xiuping sighed: "I realize now that it is not easy to be this junior master uncle. The reason why I agreed before was that I felt that this junior master uncle's status was pretty good, profitable, and beneficial to my practice. It is also advantageous, and there is Guanchao Academy, one of the seven holy places, as the backing. There is no reason to refuse. After becoming the junior master of the academy, I have always felt that it does not matter. Anyway, it is just an identity and a title. But that’s actually not the case.”
Having said this, he smiled bitterly and continued: "I couldn't understand before. I was not very cultivated and had not even read a few books. How could I become the junior uncle of the academy just because of an inheritance? Isn’t this misleading people, is it not discrediting Guanchao Academy, the leader of Confucianism? Now I know that whether I can be a junior master uncle has nothing to do with my level of cultivation or how many saints’ classics I have read. It has nothing to do with me. When things like this happen in Puyun Mountain, you can act in accordance with the Academy's code of conduct and truly represent Confucianism in the world."
The layman Qingming nodded and said: "When encountering the same thing, others may have the same idea as you, but they may not be able to make the same decision. There is a big gap between thinking and doing. Strong strength Those who don’t bother to do it are just Puyunshan, Chi Qiu and Bai Chi; those who are weak don’t dare to do it, not only because they don’t have the ability, but also because it is troublesome.”
Li Xiuping said: "If it weren't for the identity of this junior uncle, and if it wasn't for the three hundred years of use rights for the Guanchao Academy, I wouldn't dare to make decisions on behalf of the academy. Of course, the most important thing is the experience during this period. , if it were before, I would definitely choose a simpler way."
The layman Qingming asked: "Destroy Puyun Mountain?"
Li Xiuping smiled and nodded, and said: "Now I know that handling things in another way may seem troublesome, but the outcome is obviously more satisfying, and it can also bring huge benefits to my state of mind."
Master Qingming smiled and said, "Compared to when you were in Donghai, you have indeed grown a lot."
Li Xiuping said: "I have died so many times and still haven't died. There must be some changes."
The layman Qingming smiled slightly and said nothing, and everyone just continued southward.
Because of the previous competition in Puyun Mountain, neither Chu Yan nor Yang Erni could ride in the carriage. Now they were following Li Xiuping. Walking down the road, the two little girls were a little unbearable, and their faces were full of confusion. It is bitter color.
In this regard, Li Xiuping pretended not to see it. Anyway, he would not rest until meal time, so he could just walk slower.
Li Xiuping also knew very well that doing so would definitely delay the journey south, making the journey south far longer than originally expected. For him, every moment of delay would bring him closer to death. So doing this seems unwise and unworthy no matter how you look at it.
In fact, the reason why Li Xiuping did this was not because he was no longer afraid of death, nor was it because he had broken the pot and accepted his fate, but because some things were already destined, so he could only let nature take its course.
Being able to meet Chu Yan three times is an inseparable fate. This is something that cannot be refused. So since he has accepted them as his disciples, he should fulfill his responsibility as a master. Since he has brought them on this path, We must ensure that we can provide them with the greatest help and ensure that they will not have any problems along the way.
This is your responsibility as a master.
As for his injury, if it is really destined to be incurable, then even if he appears in the South China Sea now, he may not be able to be cured immediately. Putting aside everything else, the question is whether he can find the Flower Fairy, one of the two immortals.
Since everything is full of variables, why not go with the flow and let things develop freely? Whatever the outcome is, accept it happily. All you need to do is wait until the outcome comes out. Before, try your best to have as few regrets as possible and do everything you should do.
For the two little girls, Li Xiuping could pretend not to see them, but the woman on the carriage really couldn't bear it. She naturally understood her own daughter better than anyone else. She had never suffered such hardships since she was a child, but Since she has been handed over to Li Xiuping, she should naturally be taught according to Li Xiuping's way. She couldn't say anything for fear of affecting Li Xiuping and thus the two little girls, so she could only endure it. Look less.
But even she didn't expect that her daughter could achieve what she is now. If it were before, let alone this cold day, even in the spring season, she would not be able to walk a mile. Now that he was able to walk so far and keep up with the speed of the carriage, even she, a mother, was a little surprised. But every time she looked back, she still felt heartbroken.
It was finally time to rest. As the carriage stopped, Chu Yan ran into the woman's arms. Although she didn't say anything, she looked aggrieved.
On the side, Yang Erni just watched, and then found a place to sit down.
Li Xiuping saw all this, and became more determined to keep the woman in Tianchan Temple. Otherwise, keeping the woman like this would be of no benefit to either Chu Yan's practice or Yang Erni's practice. , and may even affect Yang Erni's temperament, which she finally calmed down.
Master Huo Ling took out the food and distributed it, then sat down next to Yang Erni and asked with a smile: "If you feel pain in your feet, you can try to take a deep breath and feel the air flowing out of your feet. It will make you feel better."
Yang Erni nodded and said nothing.
Master Huo Ling continued: "Although practice is painful, the rewards are also huge. The most important thing in practice is the foundation. Everything is based on the body, so there can be no mistakes in the initial physical training state. .”
Having said this, he looked at Li Xiuping and continued: "Forging the body, refining Qi, and building the foundation can be said to be the most important things in practice. Look at your master, although he is only at the foundation building stage, his real strength is greater than We people are much more powerful. To be honest, I have been practicing for nearly a thousand years and have seen many powerful people. But before I met your master, I never thought that someone could You can rely on your cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Stage to survive against the Demon Lord who has the Immortal Realm, so there is definitely no problem in continuing to follow your master's method. Even if you two cannot reach the same height as your master in the future, It will definitely reach a height that many people cannot reach.”
Yang Erni also looked at her master, longing for him, and looking forward to the future...
