Li Ye shook his head and replied softly: "How is it possible? I am scary enough like this. If I return to the previous fifth level, people will definitely think of me as a monster when I return to the city."
After hearing these words from Li Ye, the old ape looked at Li Ye's small gray-black face and felt infinite sympathy in his heart.
He murmured: "This is only temporary. These hardships will always be good for your practice."
After speaking, he picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a few sips into his mouth, and then pointed at the empty cup and looked at Li Ye.
Li Ye gave the old ape some tea and said with a smile, "I'm no longer angry about my appearance. Why do you still worry about me?"
The old ape shook his head, looked at him and said with a smile: "I know you people love beauty, otherwise Miss Qing wouldn't dress up like an elf."
Li Ye thought for a while, looked at him and said seriously: "I think this is good. After I go down the mountain, others will see me feeling uncomfortable and won't bother me anymore. In fact... it's hard to have a quiet time like me when I go back to the city. practice environment.”
The old ape shook his head and babbled: "In this case, you shouldn't care about other people's opinions of you. If you want to break through, break through if you can, and don't you care so much?"
Li Ye's eyes lit up, he patted his head and said with a smile: "In that case, let nature take its course."
I had been struggling with things for several days, but I didn't expect to give Lao Yuan a word to wake him up. He let go of the burden in his heart and suddenly felt a lot more open-minded.
The old ape didn't look at him, picked up a few peanuts from the plate, peeled them open, and chewed them in his mouth.
After a while, he frowned and said: "Don't think that you are already a golden elixir. You have broken through quickly now. I am worried that your cultivation speed will slow down after you break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Maybe it will take a few years or ten." I haven’t been able to break through it for several years.”
"It's not as exaggerated as the senior said, right?" Li Ye was shocked.
The old ape ignored him and continued to chatter.
"So if you break through faster now, you will have more time to face the Nascent Soul Realm. If you can stick to your heart, you may have the opportunity to shorten the time in the Nascent Soul Realm."
"I hope so." Li Ye replied thoughtfully.
"It's not about hoping, it's about being prepared for everything." The old ape shook his head, fearing to hurt Li Ye.
With my husband here, if I really encounter a problem, he should find a solution for me, right? "Li Ye looked at the old ape and said with a smile.
The old ape was stunned and replied with a smile: "I forgot that you have a powerful husband."
"It's late at night, please go back quickly. I'll finish drinking this cup of tea and read the Hua Dharma Sutra."
The old ape glanced at Li Ye, stood up, clapped his hands, and walked away in the wind facing the stars on the warm spring night. "Tomorrow will be a nice day."
Li Ye shook his head and thought, "What day is not a good day?"
The old ape left and the shed became quiet again. Xiaobai was already lying down and purring.
After drinking the tea in the cup, I calmed down a little, sat down cross-legged, and took out the scroll...
...
Tang Qiuyu led the four children to get up and wash up and then came to the wooden house. The husband had already cooked the porridge and was sitting with Li drinking tea. Li Hongxiu was lying on the bamboo chair to stay in bed.
The husband looked at the four children leading them to the edge of the woods outside the wooden house. He smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to have breakfast. Just meditate under the tree and follow the exercises I gave you for an hour. Then go to eat."
Xia Wutong took the lead and sat down cross-legged, pulling Xiaoju to sit beside him. Tang Chao and Hu Ge also meditated against the cedar.
"The eyes observe the nose, the nose observes the heart, the five hearts point to the sky, the mind guards the Dantian, and luck depends on the opened meridians... While chanting the mind method, the gentleman corrected the postures of the three people in the Tang Dynasty. He saw that the four of them were normal. After taking a breath, walk away with satisfaction.
"Keep this posture good luck, and get up in an hour for breakfast."
When the husband returned to the wooden house, Tang Qiuyu had already filled a bowl of porridge and was drinking it. The husband looked at Li Hongxiu, who had his eyes closed, and said, "You take care of the four children at home today and don't let them run out. Mr. Tang and I went to see Ye'er , If you don’t come back at night, you will come back tomorrow.”
Li Hongxiu was furious when she heard this. She opened her eyes and said, "Why don't you take me there?"
"First of all, these four children need to be looked after; secondly, there is a hundred-foot-high stone wall on the way to see Ye'er. It's hard for Mr. Tang and I to go there. How can you climb up? Besides, he will be back in a few months. Come on, why are you in a hurry?"
The husband looked at her, a little angry.
Li Hongxiu curled her lips and said, "Ask that boy to remember to bring me some good things when he comes back. I have been taking care of my sister for a year, but it took a lot of effort."
Tang Qiuyu made a "puff" sound and couldn't help laughing.
Li Hongxiu looked at her and said, "Why are you laughing? Don't shed tears halfway up the climb. I heard from Xiaoqing that even ghosts don't want to go up there."
Tang Qiuyu smiled and said: "I'm laughing at you. You don't know the blessings when you are in the blessings." After saying that, he gave her a look that you know.
Li Yexiu was stunned, and then when she understood, her face couldn't help but turn red.
The husband looked at her and shook his head, then continued: "After the children have finished their porridge, let them go to the back of the house to read the sutra for an hour. In the afternoon, you will lead them to jog up a mountain road. After they come back, they can move around freely."
Tang Qiuyu had finished the porridge and said to Li Hongxiu with a smile: "You can just do some exercise with the children and maintain your current figure."
Li Hongxiu opened Tang Qiuyu's eyes, closed her eyes again, waved her hand and said: "Let's go quickly. It's best to come back today. I don't want to be the nanny of four children."
The husband shook his head, put on his shoes, and walked out of the house.
The two walked to the edge of the woods and looked at the four children meditating with their eyes closed. The husband said slowly: "Keep your breathing speed, don't be too fast, guard your mind, don't think wildly."
After saying that, he took Tang Qiuyu and walked out of the woods.
...
Li Ye got up early and practiced swordplay for an hour under the cedar. After breakfast, he saw that the old ape didn't come to drink tea, so he led Xiaobai down to Yaping and up the river to see if he could find some herbs to pick back. .
It's still early, and the spring breeze is a bit cool.
Looking at Xiao Bai running in front, Li Ye smiled and shouted: "You foodie, add more oil, catch two pheasants, and roast them for you tonight."
Walking along the river, Li Ye thought as he walked, there were dendrobium-like herbs in the "Hundred Herbs Illustrated Book" Xiao Qing gave him that he had not seen yet.
My husband didn't pick it back. The book describes that this kind of medicinal material grows in moist and shady places. You might encounter it today.
This kind of medicinal materials are of great use to my mother, sister, Mu Mu, Xiao Qing and even Li Hongxiu. If I can pick some back, I can sell them all and keep them all for my own use. You can also bring some to the old monk and take them. Boil water and drink.
You can also use it to regulate the cold air in your body and increase the awareness of the ice air in the vitality of heaven and earth.
Walking in the moist mist beside the river, Li Ye looked up from time to time to look at the distant mountain peaks. He saw faint snow peaks among the white clouds in the distance above his head, with a very obvious snow line on them.
The teacher said that the snow on the snow line does not melt all year round, and even the weeds rarely grow, making it a forbidden area for life.
I thought that I would come back here one day and conquer the peaks in front of me one by one. Even if I can't climb to the top for the time being, I still want to see more beautiful scenery that I haven't seen yet.
The old ape and the old wolf have to walk through the mountains that they have never been to to see what kind of secrets are hidden inside.
He cut a branch from the bushes by the river, held it in his hand, and pushed aside the grass on the river bank as he walked to see if there were any herbs he knew growing in it.
After returning to the city from Tianshan Mountain, take the herbs you and your husband collected in the cave on the mountain, plus those collected here, and try to learn how to prepare better medicinal solutions.
I train my parents, Wushuang's parents and my own sister, and I can also use it to stabilize my state.
If you don’t have money to spend, you can still sell it at Fatty Tang’s medicine pavilion. Even if you haven't learned how to make alchemy yet, you can still be a pharmacist.
Xiaobai had already disappeared, and Li Ye shouted several times at the top of his lungs but there was no response, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him. Wielding an iron sword and tree branches, he searched carefully.
...
The husband led Tang Qiuyu all the way up, through the forest where Xia Wutong and four people picked Ganoderma lucidum yesterday, over the hillside, along a narrow mountain road to the north, among the huge rocks and the huge cedar forest of Tianshan Mountain.
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 from the cliff-like stone wall in front of you.
The husband took out two knives, handed one to Tang Qiuyu, and said softly: "Ye'er climbed up from here. There is only one way. Do you want to climb up with me? Or go back?"
Tang Qiuyu looked up at the hundred-foot stone wall and couldn't help feeling a little flustered, but he was unwilling to give in. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to give it a try."
The husband smiled and said, "There's no need to try it. As long as you start climbing up, there will be no way out. I think Li Ye thought the same as you at the beginning, but he still climbed up in the end."
Tang Qiuyu nodded, thinking that he was frightened just looking at it. He really didn't know how the child climbed up.
The gentleman stretched out his hand and looked for a place on the stone wall where he could borrow strength. He held the knife in his left hand to prevent accidents. He exerted force on his feet and his whole body rose into the air, lightly, like a leaf climbing upwards.
Tang Qiuyu sighed, wondering why he had to come see this child and end up in the dilemma he was in now.
I followed my husband's lead and used my strength to climb, holding a knife in one hand to prevent him from accidentally falling down.
The two of them climbed up and down, neither fast nor slow, with their whole bodies tightly pressed against the stone wall. From a distance, they looked like two climbing geckos, slowly climbing up.
It took them two and a half hours to climb this steep rock wall of nearly a hundred feet.
At the last moment, Tang Qiuyu climbed to the top of the mountain with the help of her husband, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.
The gentleman sat down with his legs crossed to rest, then took out the kettle and handed it to Tang Qiuyu.
"You are already at the state of distraction, and it took more than two hours. Ye'er was still at the eighth or ninth level of foundation building when he actually climbed here. I don't know how much time and energy he spent at that time."
Tang Qiuyu sat up with support on his hands, took the kettle and drank some water, looking at the stone wall that he had climbed.
The scenery below can no longer be seen clearly, only the midday sun shines on the stone wall, reflecting a dazzling golden light.
...
When Li Ye returned to Yaping with empty-handed Xiaobai, it was already the moment of success.
Looking at Xiaobai, who was twisting his butt and following behind, he smiled and cursed: "I asked you to put in more oil to catch two pheasants, but you didn't listen. Now that I'm back empty-handed, I can only drink white porridge at night."
Xiaobai ignored him and just roared hard from behind, making a warning sound.
Li Ye shook his head and ignored him. He raised his head and looked at the sky and said, "There is no meat to eat. I'm embarrassed to ask my seniors to come over for dinner. It's all because of your laziness!"
Xiaobai grinned at him, pretending to be a ghost.
Li Ye couldn't help but go over and kick him, but he thought about it and held it back. Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the small door of the wooden shed, and then froze at the door.
The corner of his mouth moved slightly and he murmured: "Mr."
