The early mornings in Tianshan Mountain are always beautiful, and Li Hongxiu, who likes to snooze, has no choice but to be lazy with her husband.
I got up early to clean the house, washed up, and went to fetch water to wash the pots. I watched my husband light the fire, put the iron pot on the stove, and cook porridge for everyone's breakfast.
After lighting the stove, the gentleman went out with his hands behind his back, saying that he was going to take a walk for a while, and asked Li Hongxiu to stay in the house with others.
Li Yexiu glared at his husband and sat obediently by the stove, waiting for the porridge to be cooked.
By the time Tang Qiuyu and her four children finished washing and entered the wooden house, Li Hongxiu had already cooked the porridge and was holding her chin in both hands in a daze.
"Why are you here in a daze, what are you thinking about?" Tang Qiuyu came into the room and looked at her and said.
"You've had a good sleep. Your head is not as dizzy today as yesterday, right?" Li Hongxiu took out a bowl and prepared to serve porridge to the children.
The little fat man took it and rushed to serve the porridge.
Xia Wutong smiled and said: "I feel much better after a good sleep. My head is no longer dizzy and my chest is no longer tight."
Xiaoju and Hu Ge nodded in agreement.
Tang Qiuyu said with a smile: "I said your husband is really good at finding a place to live like a god here."
Li Hongxiu fell silent as he stared at the cedar trees outside the house that Li Ye had slashed several times with.
After a long while, he said slowly: "What you see is only the beauty of spring... If you come in winter, I can guarantee that you will never want to come here again."
"How is that possible? Isn't it just to prepare more food?" Tang Chao Qiuyu looked at Li Hongxiu in disbelief.
Li Yexiu looked at her and shook his head gently.
"You can't go anywhere in the winter when you don't have enough food and clothing. You have to spend the whole autumn preparing food and firewood for the winter. This is where the gods stay."
Tang Qiuyu was holding a bowl of porridge and putting it in his mouth. When he heard what Li Hongxiu said, he was startled.
He asked suspiciously: "I didn't expect this. It seems that it is not easy for Li Ye to spend the winter alone in the mountains."
"I'm afraid of the cold. I haven't spent the winter in the mountains, and I don't know what it's like. If you want to know, you can ask my husband." Looking at Tang Chao Qiuyu's thoughtful look, he smiled and said: "Also There’s that little monster Li Ye.”
Tang Qiuyu looked at her quietly, opened her lips slightly but did not say anything. After a while, she said: "It turns out that it is really not easy on Tianshan Mountain."
Several little guys had already drank their porridge and sat blankly in the room, watching the two people's conversation.
"Little fat man, go and take your bowls to the entrance of the cave to wash. You have to remember to do this in the future. If you have nothing to do after washing the dishes, go to the back of the house and read the scriptures on the stone wall. That's Li Ye's word It’s engraved with one word.”
Li Hongxiu looked at the stunned expressions of the children and felt that they should find something to do.
Tang Chao, Hu Ge and Xiao Cha stared blankly at Hao, expressing disbelief.
Xia Wutong knew that Li Ye's writing was interesting, so he couldn't wait to run to read it.
"If you don't believe me, come and try. If you can carve a word on the stone wall with an iron sword, I will give up!" Li Hongxiu handed his bowl to Xiaoju.
The little fat man and Hu Ge went to wash the dishes. Xia Wutong pulled Xiao Ju and walked to the back of the house. Tang Qiuyu also pulled Li Hongxiu and walked back.
...
Xia Wutong and Xiaoju stroked each scripture on the smooth stone wall, carefully comprehending Li Ye's mood when he carved each scripture.
Tang Qiuyu looked at the densely carved scriptures on the stone wall more than ten feet high in front of him. His mood at this time could no longer be described as shocking. The size of each scripture was the same, and the depth of each carved stroke was also different. It's all the same, and every word spacing...
Tang Qiuyu grabbed Li Hongxiu's hand tightly and murmured: "How is this possible? He is only a teenager, how is this possible!"
Li Hongxiu curled her lips and said with a smile: "Don't believe it, he didn't finish the carving in one day. Every day I watched him lying on the wooden frame that my husband built for him, and he was already numb. Naturally, without you now Such a shocking feeling.”
Xia Wutong and Xiaoju had expressions of admiration on their faces. Although they didn't understand the essence of the Buddhist scriptures, they could still feel the hardship that Li Ye had to carve when they looked at every word carefully.
Li Ye had not yet understood the meaning of the sword when he carved this volume of "Ksitigarbha Sutra", but there was a shadow of the meaning of the sword between the lines.
This surprised Tang Qiuyu and Xia Wutong. They thought that the first time they carved scriptures on the stone wall, they already had the shadow of sword intention. This is the genius among geniuses.
Li Hongxiu took Tang Qiuyu's hand and walked out, saying as he walked: "Do you know why he carved scriptures on the stone wall?"
Tang Qiuyu looked at her with wide eyes.
"Um, that's when my husband asked him to practice his swordsmanship by carving scriptures. Do you think these are two lunatics, one old and one young?"
Tang Qiuyu held Li Hongxiu's hand tighter.
"As a result, I heard from my husband that this guy didn't practice swordsmanship well, but he became more and more sophisticated in his sword skills." Li Hongxiu said with a smile.
"What kind of swordsmanship is he practicing? He can't even carve words on this stone wall?" Tang Qiuyu looked at her in confusion.
The two of them talked as they walked, and they had already arrived outside the wooden house.
The husband was putting down the porridge bowl in his hand in the room. He asked Tang Qiuyu and said: "I asked him to carve scriptures on bamboo leaves and he did it. Then I asked him to carve scriptures on falling leaves and he failed. Then he ran away. As for the point of his cultivation now, I don’t know.”
The gentleman put the bowl on the table, walked around the table to the wooden stand, took out a few bamboo leaves, and handed them to Li Hongxiu and Tang Qiuyu.
Li Hongxiu and Tang Qiuyu stroked the withered bamboo leaves in their hands and looked at the scriptures carved on them. They were even more shocked. This time, it was Li Hongxiu's turn to be stunned.
"You two can also try carving scriptures on bamboo leaves. This is several times more difficult than on stone. This guy has unknowingly mastered the essentials of swordsmanship, such as lifting a heavy weight as if it were light and lifting a light weight as if it were heavy. This makes me very happy.”
The husband was somewhat proud at this time. After two years of hard training, his apprentice finally made some progress.
"I'm afraid no one can do this by carving scriptures on fallen leaves, right?" Tang Qiuyu murmured.
"Who says there isn't one? Isn't there one standing in front of you?" Li Hongxiu gently patted the back of Tang Qiuyu's hand.
At this moment, Tang Qiuyu was so shocked by the deeds of the master and apprentice that he could only walk into the room holding Li Hongxiu's arm and sit softly on the stool.
After a long while, he greeted Xingsheng and said softly: "Please, sir, accept me as your disciple. I am willing to practice with you."
Li Hongxiu looked at Tang Qiuyu with her mouth wide open, and was so shocked that she was speechless.
The teacher looked at Tang Qiuyu with a smile and said calmly: "Let's just make friends. Do you know how Ye'er practices swordsmanship?"
"I first asked him to carve scriptures on the stone wall. After the scriptures were carved, he practiced carving on bamboo leaves. Later, he felt that he couldn't carve on the leaves, so he followed that little guy Mumu and used the bamboo leaves as flying objects. Using swords, the two attack each other and use the wooden swords in their hands to knock down the flying bamboo leaves of the other party."
"In the end, these two little guys were not satisfied enough, so they replaced the bamboo leaves with pine needles. I am telling you this just to let you understand this truth. There is actually no secret to swordsmanship, only hard practice. I only told him To do these things, I didn’t tell him the method or method. I haven’t even taught him sword moves yet.”
"If you are interested, you can practice this method with your apprentice, Ye Youyi and Hong Xiu. I promise it will be so painful that you will doubt your life."
When Tang Qiuyu heard this, he was speechless.
Li Hongxiu watched Li Yelu and Mumu play all day long, but it didn't feel strange at all.
Seeing the two people in a daze, the gentleman smiled and said, "Drink tea."
When you doubt your life, just drink tea.
Tang Qiuyu looked at Li Hongxiu, who nodded: "It seems that the two of us are not even as good as this little brat, we need to practice!"
Tang Qiuyu looked at her husband with a wry smile, picked up the tea cup in front of her, and said quietly: "I really feel sad for senior sister and Dongfang Yu'er!"
Li Hongxiu was stunned, pulled her sleeve and said: "This is fine, why does it involve Dongfang Yu'er again?"
The husband also looked at Tang Qiuyu in confusion.
She sighed softly and said faintly: "Dongfang Yu'er's mother told my senior sister Su Qingyue that Li Ye's state was not high, so he was in the Qi Gathering state. Then my senior sister subjectively believed that Li Ye was not worthy of Dongfang Yu'er, I want to regret my marriage! Dongfang Yu'er listened to the instigation of her mother and master and decided to leave Li Ye."
"I only learned the news after I stayed in their house for a few days before coming here. They asked me not to mention these things when I came to Fengyun City. I also thought Li Ye was not worthy of Wushuang on Phoenix Mountain before, and I even told him Junior sister Xu Jingyun had a quarrel."
"Now it seems that everything is God's will! Do you think I should tell them when I go back?" Tang Qiuyu felt that her mood was really messy at this moment.
"How is this possible? Are they too naive? Can you just back off the marriage if you want?" Li Hongxiu was angry.
"Well, she can say that she only had intention at the beginning and only exchanged tokens. His father did not agree." Tang Qiuyu said.
"Needless to say, you don't need to mention anything when you go back. Everything is subject to fate. We don't want to artificially disrupt the trajectory of their lives." The gentleman thought for a while and said seriously.
"I'm lucky to get it, but I'm going to lose my life. It seems that there is really some destiny arranged in the dark. Forget it, let's do it. I told Wutong before on the mountain that I shouldn't mention anything to them after I go back. ."
Tang Qiuyu looked at Li Hongxiu and said quietly.
"Just to make them regret it later..." When Li Hongxiu was about to say more, her husband gave her a gentle look, which made her stop what she wanted to say.
"I want to see this magical little boy more and more. This is so shocking." Tang Qiuyu put the tea cup on the table and gently pulled the corner of Li Hongxiu's clothes.
"Don't look at me. I heard Xiaoqing say I can't go to that place. I don't want to risk my life! Do you think I'm that little monster?" Li Hongxiu firmly rejected her.
The husband looked at the excited Tang Qiuyu, raised his head and looked at the Tianshan Mountain in front of the door. After thinking for a while, he said softly: "Don't worry, wait a few days." As long as you swear that you will not follow the tasks you see. Others talk about it, including her! I'll take you there. "
The gentleman pointed at Li Hongxiu.
Li Hongxiu was stunned and blurted out: "Why can't I even know? What are you doing that you can't hide?"
The husband smiled and said, "At least, you can't know until he leaves Tianshan. Is this enough?"
Tang Qiuyu nodded heavily towards her husband.
Li Hongxiu looked at Mr. with a pair of resentful eyes.
Seeing the resentful look on her face, the husband couldn't help but sigh and said: "After all, Ye'er is not practicing alone. There are old apes and old wolves with their own groups. Don't let others know about it and destroy it." They live a stable life.”
When Tang Qiuyu heard what her husband said, she couldn't help but nodded. She looked at Li Hongxiu and said with a smile, "After all, it's just a place where he practices. It's not like he won't come back. Can you just ask him again when he comes back?"
With your ability, wouldn't this little boy just tell you everything obediently?
Li Yexiu lowered his head and thought for a while, looked at the two of them and replied, "That's right. Are his sister and mother still at the bottom of the mountain? Even if she refuses to tell me, she must tell Mumu."
As long as Mumu knows something, doesn't it mean that he also knows it?
After understanding this truth, Li Hongxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
The look in Mr.'s eyes was no longer so resentful, but replaced with a tender and affectionate look.
The husband looked at her and shook his head. He had nothing to do with this woman.
