As night fell and the food was ready, Xiaoqing flapped her wings and returned to the garden in front of the flower hall.
Looking at the blue bird that had transformed into a human form, Mu Mulu walked out of the flower hall, grabbed Xiao Qing's little hand and asked, "How are you? Have you seen my brother?"
Li Hongxiu also followed out, looked at Xiaoqing who followed Mu Mu in and said, "Have you seen Li Ye?"
Xiao Qingpin's little face was a little ugly. She held Mu Mu's hand and said awkwardly: "Li Ye is not on the cliff. The restrictions outside the woods have been opened. The cave door has been closed. Even the two door panels of the wooden house have been dismantled. Installed."
Mu Mu was stunned upon hearing this, and so were Ye Zhiqiu and his wife who were sitting at the tea table.
Li Hongxiu asked anxiously: "Then have you looked for him nearby? This guy ran into the wild as soon as we left."
"I searched all the mountain streams and hillsides dozens of miles away from the cave. I saw that it was getting late, so I flew back because I was afraid that you would be worried." Xiao Qing replied softly.
Mu Mu became anxious, raised her head and rushed out. Li Hongxiu grabbed her and shouted: "Why are you so crazy? What are you doing so late at night?"
Mu Mu's face turned red, and she twisted around and shouted, "Xiaoqing and I will go up the mountain to look for him. What if something happens to him?"
Li Hongxiu hugged her tightly and advised: "Tianshan Mountain is so big, where are you going to find him? Xiaoqing can't find him in the sky."
"Besides, he had packed up the house before going out. The place he went to must be far away, and it would be useless for you to go up there."
Xiaoqing looked at the anxious Mu Mu and nodded: "The surroundings of the house are very clean, even cleaner than when we were here."
Ye Zhiqiu and his wife knew that their son was missing, and they were very anxious, but they did not want Mu Mu to take risks again, so they both advised Mu Mu not to be impulsive.
Ye Zhiqiu came out and took Mu Mu from Li Hongxiu's hand, hugged her and patted her gently and said: "His cultivation level is not low anymore. How can something happen easily up there? Is it because you all went down the mountain that he wanted to run away?" Out."
Li Hongxiu lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at Ye Zhiqiu and his wife and said, "It makes sense if you think about it carefully. When we were on the mountain, he was always near the house, and he spent more time cooking than practicing. need more."
"Perhaps he has long been looking forward to us going down the mountain so that he can be alone in the Tianshan Mountains. This guy has completely inherited his master's temperament and likes to practice in hiding alone."
Mu Mu, who was held in Ye Zhiqiu's arms, raised her head and tilted her head.
Whispering: "What my sister said seems to make sense. My brother cooks three meals a day for us on the mountain. Does he think we are too lazy? That's why he hides alone?"
Li Hongxiu was amused by Mu Mu's words. He rolled his eyes at her and said, "He is a man and he should do things as he should. I don't know how to cook either."
Ye Zhiqiu took Mumu into the house, sat down at the dining table, touched her head and said: "From today on, you don't want to go back to Hongxiu's place. You will sleep in Ye'er's room and let Agui stay there tomorrow." A small bed for Xiaoqing."
"Study honestly in the academy. Didn't Ye'er ask me to teach you poetry and female celebrities? While he's not here, just calm down and study hard. Don't think about going to Tianshan to find him."
Ye Zhiqiu thought that only by hardening his heart could he tie Mumu down.
She doesn't know where her son got his blessing, but every little girl is devoted to her.
Just after the two left, another Mu Mu, who was younger and had a higher level of cultivation, came.
Li Hongxiu glanced at Ye Zhiqiu knowingly, nodded and said, "That's right, I told you again and again when Li Ye came down the mountain. You have had enough fun in the city these days, it's time to calm down and study."
"Let Qing'er go back with me to pack your luggage tonight, and she will come over tomorrow to study with you."
Xiaoqing nodded and looked at Ye Zhiqiu with big eyes.
Ye Zhiqiu knew what she meant and said with a smile: "Of course you are studying with Mumu. There is still a lot of knowledge in this world that you need to learn."
Then he looked at Mu Mu who was sitting in a daze at the table and said, "On the bookshelf in Ye'er's room, there are many poems and essays that he copied by his own hand. They are not even in the academy. You have to read them carefully."
Mu Mu thought that she couldn't go up the mountain anyway, so that was all she could do. Then he whispered: "At most three months, if there is no news about my brother by autumn, Xiaoqing and I will go up the mountain to find him."
Li Hongxiu looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said helplessly: "Okay, if there is no news from him in three months, sister will go up with you, and I will also go find the husband."
Ye Zhiqiu's heart tightened, thinking that he had forgotten that Li Hongxiu was also a resentful girl at this moment.
Looking at the two of them, he smiled and said, "I can't wander around, otherwise I will go to Tianshan Mountain with you."
The nervousness finally calmed down. Agui came over and said that the food and wine were ready and it was time to eat.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Li Hongxiu and said, "I can't drink. Let me drink with you tonight."
Li Hongxiu nodded, her face slightly red, and said softly: "Drink less. Your Li Ye said that your husband doesn't like drunk women."
Upon hearing this, the Master laughed loudly, pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "He's not here, let's just have a drink and be happy."
Xiaoqing secretly communicated with Mumu with her eyes, does that mean we can drink?
Mu Mu glanced at Li Hongxiu, then at Ye Zhiqiu, and then nodded.
...
Li Ye on the mountain naturally didn't know that someone was looking for him at the bottom of the mountain. On the tenth day after his birthday, his injured foot was finally able to walk.
The injured wolf had long since recovered, and was going crazy all over the mountains and fields all day long. All Li Ye ate were the pheasants and rabbits it had caught.
Every night Li Ye would chant sutras in the cave, and after getting up in the morning, he would box outside the cave. After ten days of recuperation, he felt that his true energy was full, and it would not be long before he could break through the golden elixir realm.
After packing his luggage, he looked back at the cave where he had lived for more than ten days, and called Xiaobai: "I want to leave here, do you want to come with me?"
Xiaobai ran over and bit his pants, squealed twice, then spread his legs and ran forward. Of course he means the same thing as you.
The Tianshan Mountains in summer are no longer full of spring rain, the mountains are full of sunshine, the mountains and fields are full of flowers, and the sky is full of birds flying.
Xiao Bai leads the way with care, and Li Ye follows behind, telling it not to run too far from time to time.
Leaving the water stream, they climbed up the valley. At this time, the area was much higher than the height of the valley. They could already see the unmelted snow peaks of Tianshan Mountain, shining brightly under the sunlight.
I followed Xiaobai to the north and climbed the mountain road for more than ten miles, and came to an area with dense rocks. The summer mountain wind blew violently from time to time, carrying snow foam brought from the mountain peaks, and it hurt my face. .
Along a narrow mountain road to the north, the huge rocks and the huge cedar trees of Tianshan Mountain were hidden and hidden. Xiaobai did not dare to run fast, so he only walked a few places around Li Ye, sniffing east and west, and finally he was old. Returned to him honestly.
In front of him was a steep stone wall. It could no longer be called a mountain road. There was only a shallow trace to prove that someone had climbed here.
Looking at the cliffs on both sides and the virgin forest that stretches for hundreds of miles, there is no way to bypass the peaks in front of them. If you want to go to the top of the peak and go in another direction, you can only climb up the cliff-like stone wall in front of you.
He tightened the baggage behind his back, looked at the little wolf at his feet and said, "Xiao Bai, you lie on my shoulders and we climb up together! How about it?"
Xiaobai yelled at him twice.
Li Ye stretched out his hand, picked up Xiao Bai, and placed it on his body so that he could lie tightly on his shoulders. He began to regulate the true energy in his body. He held the knife in his left hand to prevent accidents and held it steady with his right hand. He grabbed hold of an inconspicuous stone on the steep rock wall, exerted force on his feet, and his whole thin body rose into the air, lightly and lightly, like a leaf climbing upwards.
The speed he climbed was the same as the speed he practiced walking in Fengyun City. It was neither fast nor slow. His whole body was pressed tightly against the stone wall. From a distance, he looked like a gecko climbing all the way.
Every time he stretched out his hand or put down his foot, every time he exerted force, it felt very soft. It felt like he was not using all his strength to climb up.
Xiaobai held him nervously on his back, and the hot breath from his mouth blew on Li Ye's ears and neck from time to time, reminding him that he was not climbing alone.
It took him nearly two hours to climb most of the nearly 100-foot steep stone wall. He found a stone nest that could shelter from the wind and stopped. He put down Xiaobai on his back, relaxed his hands and feet and sat on the ground to rest.
He took out the water bottle from his bag, hugged Xiaobai and gave him a few sips, and then drank a few sips himself.
The surrounding mountain wind blew against his body, dissipating the heat and sweat from the intense climb, making him feel very comfortable.
He took out the dried meat, tore half of it and gave it to Xiaobai, touched its head and said, "We have to climb over this mountain before dark, otherwise we will have to spend the night lying on the stone wall."
Xiaobai whined. While happily chewing the dried meat in his mouth.
Although it is already early summer, the sun is already very hot. But because the mountain wind carries the snow foam on the top of the mountain, it looks warm and humid.
There are still unmelted ice and snow in some places on the rock wall that he climbs up, which will make it difficult for him to climb up.
After eating the dried meat, I closed my eyes and rested for half an hour. I looked at the sky and it was past noon. I didn't dare to sleep any more. I woke up Xiaobai who was sleeping on his stomach, picked him up and put him on his back.
He put the bag on his back again, adjusted his breath and energy, looked at the stone wall that still had half of it, looked for a place to put his strength with his hands, and continued climbing.
This climb was Li Ye's first adventure in his life. Looking at the hundred-foot cliff at his feet, he thought that only in this way could he deeply understand what a dilemma is.
Not daring to be careless, he calmed down and used his right hand to grab the stone above his body that could be used for strength. The knife in his left hand was deeply inserted into the small crack in the stone wall to use force, so that his body was pressed tightly against the stone wall. , do not slide down.
He did not dare to let himself be careless, and while reciting the six-character Buddhist mantra while reciting the mental method of "The Formless Dharmakaya", the true energy surged in his body.
Behind him, it looked like a golden Buddha's light sticking to the steep cliff and slowly moving up. Xiaobai behind him hugged him tightly, raised his ears and listened carefully to the Dharma chanted by Li Ye.
I feel sweat dripping from my body, flowing down my body, and I deeply understand in my heart what my teacher said: walking is also a kind of practice.
If walking is a small practice, then this moment is a big practice.
Use your own life and Xiaobai's life to practice on this hundred-foot cliff.
At this time, he concentrated his energy, and his consciousness was released all over his body. It was as if he could hear the blood in the blood vessels in his body flowing happily, and the scriptures in his bone marrow were glowing with golden true energy, melting into the flesh and blood in his body. And go.
He saw the snowy water in the valley flowing quietly, rabbits on the grassy slopes grazing warily, birds full of insects standing on the top of the trees, and a mountain stream not far from the mountain. A group of apes gathered together and made a noise...
Li Ye never thought that his decision to climb the mountain would push him into a desperate situation.
After forcing himself into a desperate situation, Li Ye once again experienced qualitative changes in the energy and consciousness in his body. The energy in his body underwent magical changes just like the last time he ran in the rain.
His spiritual consciousness has also broken through to a higher realm. If his spiritual consciousness could be felt five miles away before, now he can now release his spiritual consciousness and fly to a mountain stream twenty miles away to watch the fun. of apes.
Risking death and living again is the change before his eyes.
The wind on the mountain is getting stronger and stronger, and the golden light behind me is getting stronger and stronger.
Like the scorching sun in the sky, a dazzling golden light shines on the stone wall...
