It was already noon when the husband returned to the mountain. Li Ye had already cooked the rice, stir-fried a plate of wild vegetables, a plate of rabbit meat, and a pot of mushroom soup. The whole wooden house was filled with the strong aroma of the food.
In order to block the wind and snow, the side of the wooden house facing the cliff is also covered with bark. The wind and rain on Tianshan Mountain will still drift into the house.
The husband took off his shoes and entered the house. Li Ye had already lit the stove, firstly to keep warm, and secondly to make tea for a while. The husband rubbed his face and said with a smile: "It's still comfortable in the house. Coming up from the mountain, the wind blows all the way and it hurts."
Li Ye served rice to his husband, and Xiao Mumu also gave him a bowl of soup. The teacher touched little Mumu's head and asked her gently: "Look at how you looked just now, you looked like a little cat."
Mu Mu sat on the stool like an adult and shouted back to her husband: "Sister Hongxiu told me that she would buy a lot of things for me when she goes to the city. Mu Mu also likes her very much."
All three of them made Mu Mu laugh. Everyone picked up their bowls, filled them with rice and made soup.
Bai Susu gave Mu Mu some vegetables, and Li Ye also gave her rabbit meat with few bones to eat. Mu Mu was so happy that her mouth was filled with oil.
"How long will it take for this red-sleeved girl to arrive in the city? Are you worried about her alone?" Bai Susu asked her husband while eating.
Li Ye glanced at his husband and said nothing. He was speechless and rarely broke his husband's rules.
Seeing Li Ye's uncomfortable look, the gentleman smiled and replied: "You can reach the official road at the foot of the mountain. There are carriages you can rent. Besides, she has broken through the pill and become a baby. She has few opponents at the foot of Tianshan Mountain."
Li Ye understood what Mr. Li meant. If Li Hongxiu didn't harm others, she would have to burn incense.
In fact, just what Li Ye was thinking, not long after Li Hongxiu came down the mountain, he encountered a dozen caravans from the Northern Territory.
She stood on the official road and couldn't stand up to others. She said that she was a well-known person in Fengyun City and insisted on others to take her. Fortunately, there were also women in the convoy, so she was allowed to get in the car.
When I got in the car, I saw that I was an acquaintance. It turned out to be the proprietress of Jinbao Pavilion in the city. She happened to pass by the foot of Tianshan Mountain when she came back from her parents' home in the northern region.
Unexpectedly, they met Li Hongxiu. Both of them were generous people. Naturally, they chatted all the way to the city. After that, the landlady held her back and went to Jinbao Pavilion for lunch before letting her go.
...
The gentleman on the mountain, Li Ye and others naturally didn't know that Li Hongxiu had the ability to cut off the enemy halfway.
After the four of them finished eating, Li Ye washed the bowls and pots first, and then the husband added water and firewood to start making tea.
Bai Susu poured hot water on Mumu, washed her hands and face, and let her play alone on the recliner.
The husband later made another recliner, and now there are three. The tanned animal skins were padded on top, and they were soft and warm. When Mumu was fine, she would fall in love with it, saying it was plush and comfortable.
Li Ye came back after washing up and sat across from the husband, waiting for him to make some water for tea.
Looking at the cold and windy sky outside the cliff, the gentleman poured tea for the three of them and said, "You have been practicing swordplay on the stone wall for several months. I should be able to find something for you to do."
"Almost all the leaves around here have fallen out, and there are only cedars. You go to the bamboo forest in the afternoon to pick up more bamboo leaves and bring them back. The more the better, take Mumu with you."
"Sir, what are you doing with the bamboo leaves?" Li Ye asked in confusion.
Mu Mu also pricked up her ears and listened to her husband's words. As long as Li Ye took her to play, she would be happy.
"Look at the sky and the frost on the ground. It will snow tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. What can you do in the house on a snowy day? Of course you use bamboo leaves to practice your sword. It just makes Mu Mu practice with you. Although she uses It’s a sword, but the practice of strength is the same.”
Bai Susu seemed to understand what Xingsheng meant. She looked at Li Ye with a smile, picked up the tea in front of her and put it to her mouth.
Mu Mu and Li Ye didn't understand what their husband meant, so they just listened with their eyes wide open as he continued to speak.
"You can use the iron sword to carve scriptures on the stone wall. You have already gained a certain amount of strength by condensing your strength. Now try to use the wooden sword to carve scriptures on the bamboo leaves. The requirements are the same as when you carve scriptures on the stone wall. , only hold the hilt of the sword with your hand, and you have to adapt to the new strength again."
After saying that, he took out a wooden sword from his back. The blade was shiny in the dark. The sword was one inch wide and less than three feet long. Even though it was a wooden sword, the gentleman also opened it.
"This is the Tianshan hemlock that Master Bai found from the mountain. It is very hard. It took me a lot of effort to cut it. From now on, you can use this sword to carve scriptures on the bamboo leaves. The knife used by Mu Mu , I will do it for him again, and she will practice with you in a few days."
Li Ye took the wooden sword from his husband. It felt heavy in his hand, unlike ordinary wood. He took the knife he had with him and lightly scratched the hilt of the sword, but it didn't leave any trace.
Bai Susu smiled, looked at Li Ye and said, "This is a gloomy hemlock tree that has been buried in the snow for thousands of years. You can't hurt it with an ordinary sword. Mu Mu, you have to practice with your brother. Don't be lazy." do you know?"
Mu Mu jumped from the recliner to the master, snatched the wooden sword from Li Ye's hand, held it curiously, looked at the gentleman and said, "Sir, you also want to make a sword for Mu Mu."
The teacher smiled, touched Mu Mu's head and said, "Making a knife is easy, but writing on it is very difficult. Don't stop practicing after a few days."
"I've always wanted to give you a heavy sword for you to practice with, but the timing was wrong and I had no choice but to let you use an iron sword. Now I'm changing to a wooden sword, just to ask you to practice sword practice in a different way."
"Practice lifting it as light as heavy. Even if this sword only weighs as much as cotton, you have to use it like the earth treats the mountains. When you can freely carve scriptures on bamboo leaves, you can go to the snow and use the sword all over the sky. Snowflake is practicing your swordsmanship."
"When you go to Fangcun Mountain in the future, use the black iron armor on your body to hit a heavy sword. Then you can practice the sword technique again, and you will be able to lift a heavy weight as if it is light, and lift a light weight as if it is heavy."
"I told Guan Wushuang's master that when she first started practicing swordsmanship, she should be like you, starting from lifting light to heavy. The same goes for Mu Mu. From today on, you two will practice on the bamboo leaves honestly. "
"After it snows, Master Bai and I will make the meal. Your and Mumu's task is to practice calligraphy on the bamboo leaves."
Mu lay on the master's body and nodded, shouting: "If my brother can do it, I can do it too. I must be better than him."
The teacher looked at Mu Mu who was eager to try, poured cold water on her, and said: "Writing scriptures on bamboo leaves is more difficult than carving on stone walls. I guess Wushuang's master will practice on ordinary leaves. You and Mu Mu’s realm is much higher than hers, so I want you to practice on bamboo leaves.”
The master led him in. Cultivation is a matter of personal practice. The master always treated Li Ye in a carefree manner and didn't worry about him.
After saying this, the gentleman added water to make tea and stopped talking to Li Ye and Mu Mu.
Li Ye walked out of the house with his wooden sword, looked at the cloudy sky, waved to Mu Mu, and went to pick bamboo leaves with him.
Mu Mu jumped off her master, put on her shoes and left the house, calling for her brother to carry her on his back.
The elder brother is White Horse, Mu Mu hummed happily behind Li Ye.
Li Ye suddenly felt that he had a younger sister who didn't seem to be able to sing. It seemed like he had to think of some songs suitable for her and teach her. After knowing the poetry, you must also know the music. Suddenly, he felt that his task was so heavy.
Mu Mu, who was on her back, knew what Li Ye was thinking. At a young age, she had incompetent skills. She was not afraid of anything but starving herself.
Bai Susu looked at the second child walking away, and said to her husband gently: "Are you asking too much for Ye'er? He is only more than three years older than Mumu, and he is still a child."
The teacher also looked at Li Ye's back, holding the tea cup in his hand, and murmured: "There is no way, he has a kind heart, and such a temperament is easy to suffer. I can't teach him the dark side of the world, I can only teach him the dark side of the world. Urge him to practice his skills and realm to a deeper level than others, so that he will suffer less in the future."
Bai Susu nodded, agreeing with her husband's idea. Thinking that Mumu was the same, Youmu couldn't help but worry. He said softly: "The same goes for Mumu. Although her current level is higher than Ye'er, I want her to practice well and suffer less in this chaotic world."
The teacher said that Li Ye is kind. First, it refers to his nature, that is, Li Ye has not been infected by the filthy atmosphere of the world since he met his teacher. Second, it refers to his acquired understanding of Buddhism, so that even if he has reached the golden age in practice, At the level of Dan, it is still a clean white paper and has never killed any living being.
This is Li Ye's luck and misfortune. Because he will eventually join the world, and as long as he joins the world, he will have to face all kinds of ugliness in the world, and people with a kind nature often suffer a lot when facing people with a vicious nature. Some often lose their lives because of this.
The trip to Tianshan Mountain was originally for Li Ye's cultivation, but because of his love for him, he killed all the wild beasts by himself. Li Ye never killed even a pheasant.
Even Mumu, who was more than three years old, could kill the big snake without changing his face or heartbeat. If it were Li Ye, he didn't know what the result would be. Most of them would scare him away with his fists.
However, it is no longer easy to change now. After the heavy snow has sealed the mountains, even the beasts cannot come out easily, let alone the humans.
It seems that we can only wait until spring to find another opportunity.
The husband told Bai Susu this idea, and she was even more surprised.
The law of the jungle is about the law of the jungle in Tianshan. She taught Mu Mu to hunt animals at a very young age. This seemed to her the most normal thing, but she didn't expect that not telling Li Ye would turn out to be a very troublesome threshold.
When you walk around the world, how can you always do good deeds? What if you can survive without killing?
Just like this Tianshan Mountain, when the sky is full of wind and snow, if the wild beasts are not killed before, they will only starve to death on this mountain.
"Can I ask a question?" Bai Susu looked at her husband and said with a smile.
"Please say."
"Have you already been to that world? Or have you heard others mention it?"
After hearing this question, the husband was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head and replied with a smile: "Is this important? Don't you want to go somewhere after a while?"
Bai Susu was stunned, subconsciously knowing that she was too abrupt, she smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm just a little curious."
The husband stood up, walked outside the house and took two pieces of charcoal back, and replied calmly: "Whether it is this world or another world, it is not an easy task for practitioners."
Bai Susu seemed to understand what the gentleman meant and looked at him and nodded gently.
