After the tea was over and everyone's minds settled down, the gentleman put down the book in his hand.
She looked at Li Hongxiu and said with a smile: "I cooked a big pot of fresh mushroom porridge, and put some cordyceps picked from the mountains in it. You will fry some side dishes later, and we will have a drink in the evening."
Li Hongxiu nodded and glanced at Tang Qiuyu and Nalan Yu sitting opposite.
He smiled and said, "It just so happened that Mr. Tang, I, and two little girls bought a lot of delicious food in Fodu. We are preparing to go back to the mountains for the winter. I will cook some delicious dishes for you later."
Unexpectedly, Nalanyu next to him waved his hand and looked at the gentleman with a smile.
He said: "That Mr. Mo didn't want to bother my wife with cooking. Before I came up the mountain, I asked the waiter in the store to go to the best restaurant in Fodu to pack a table of food and wine. I would heat it up and eat it later. Please tell me about my brother first."
After speaking, he looked at the gentleman expectantly.
Mu Mudi, who was next to Li Hongxiu, nodded lightly, looked at her husband and said, "My brother won't really run back to Prajna Temple again, right? He should go to the back mountain to find his sword-making master Ouyang." Already?"
Xia Wutong was embarrassed to ask due to her status, so she could only pinch the corner of her skirt nervously and look at her husband.
Only Tang Qiuyu tasted the hot tea in the cup casually.
In her eyes, Li Ye was a monster. What kind of trouble could he cause on Fangcun Mountain?
The gentleman placed the book on the stone table, took a deep breath of the cool air, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Wei Qing said softly: "My apprentice asked me to stay in the mountains. As for when he will come back, I don't know."
...
"Sir, how could you leave your brother alone on the mountain?" Mu Mu frowned and looked at her husband yelling, acting like a coquettish person regardless of the situation.
"Sir, how could you leave my brother alone in the mountains?" Nalanyu was shocked and thought that this was not possible. He had to find a way to go into the mountains to find him.
"Husband, is that little guy in danger?" Li Hongxiu was shocked and thought about how big this square inch mountain was. How could his man safely leave Li Yiren there?
"Mr. Mo, how is my junior brother?" Xia Wutong pinched the corner of his clothes and asked quietly while looking at his husband.
After just a moment of silence, everyone sitting there was furious and asked questions one after another. Only Mu Mu's voice was the loudest, like a kitten with fried fur.
The gentleman looked at the nervous people waiting in front of him and took another sip of tea calmly.
He smiled lightly and said: "I am his husband, I am not in a hurry, why are you anxious?"
Tang Qiuyu glanced at her husband, then at Li Hongxiu and others, and sighed softly.
He said quietly: "Everyone, please don't worry. Please be quiet and let Mr. Mo speak."
After listening to Tang Qiuyu's words, everyone slowly became quiet.
Lian Mumu pursed her mouth, holding Li Hongxiu's arm tightly with one small hand, frowning, and staring at Mr.
The gentleman smiled and said, "It seems that if we don't explain this matter clearly, you won't even be able to eat dinner. So let's talk about our trip to the mountains first."
After saying that, he gently put down the tea cup in his hand.
For a moment, it was extremely quiet under the pear tree in the Qingshi Courtyard, with only the gentle voice of the husband slowly speaking...
...
It turned out that after Mr. and Li Ye entered the mountain, their route of collecting herbs was all the way up, trying to climb above the snow line of Fangcun Mountain as soon as possible.
Because some inexpensive medicinal herbs grow above the snow line. Due to the poor geography and environment, ordinary practitioners rarely go to collect herbs above the snow line.
Along the way, the master and the apprentice collected a lot of medicinal herbs, and even the meat for the winter was also solved on the way. Taking advantage of the autumn sun, the master and the apprentice hunted while collecting herbs.
The wild beasts brought back were pickled on the same day and dried in the sun without much effort. In Li Ye's words, it would be enough to last until next summer.
Because he had reached the seventh level of practicing "The Formless Dharma Body", Li Ye's physical body was much stronger than it was on Tianshan Mountain. During the process of collecting herbs all the way up Fangcun Mountain, he rarely experienced any physical discomfort.
The master and the apprentice climbed to the snow line in less than ten days. Surprisingly, this time they found many rare medicinal herbs that were not collected on Tianshan Mountain.
Li Ye happily said in front of his husband: "Sir, by selling these herbs this time, I can meet the expenses of my wife and Mu Mu, a little money lover, who went down the mountain to purchase them."
The husband frowned and said, "Don't sell some rare herbs. We may need them in the future. We might not be able to pick them up next time."
Li Ye nodded in agreement. He also knew that some herbs could not be sold.
What can be sold is collected in large quantities, enough for them to use later, and the rest will be taken to the foot of the mountain by Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu to be disposed of.
The master and the apprentice lived in the open air, collecting herbs and hunting at the same time, and they were very happy.
Just as the master and apprentice were getting below the snow line and preparing to return home with a full load, when passing by a cliff, both the husband and Li Ye felt a strange feeling here.
The two of them stopped to check and found a cave behind a stone flat.
The curious master and apprentice decided to explore inside, but they could only go less than five feet and were unable to move forward. The master and apprentice were blocked by a powerful barrier...
After a lot of effort, the gentleman was not allowed to enter.
Later, Li Ye unintentionally walked in without using the method of physical cultivation, and he came and went freely.
Later, after my husband's analysis, I found that this barrier was set by Zhen for practitioners. According to my husband's estimation, any practitioner who is above the golden elixir will activate the formation of the barrier, making it impossible to pass through it.
On the contrary, people under the golden elixir can come and go freely, but according to the geographical location here, practitioners under the golden elixir cannot reach here at all.
After discussion between the master and the disciple, the husband decided to stay at the entrance of the cave and let Li Ye go in to explore.
If there is danger, even though it is impossible to deal with it with Li Ye's physical training, it is not difficult to run away.
After careful consideration, the husband agreed to Li Ye's request and guarded the entrance of the cave alone.
...
Unexpectedly, Mr. Ren stayed here for two days. There was no news from Li Ye for two days. Mr. Ren used his energy to shout into the cave, but there was no response.
Mysteriously, this formation actually blocked Mr. Ren from exploring his spiritual consciousness. Mr. Ren was so anxious that he was sweating profusely... Later, Mr. Ren made up his mind.
If there is no news from Li Ye for another day, the husband will decide to break the formation forcefully, even if he pays some price that he is not willing to bear.
Li Hongxiu's heart couldn't help but surge into her throat when she heard this. Although her husband didn't say it clearly, she knew that if her man broke through the formation with force, he would naturally have to use power that didn't belong to this world.
The price is that even if he breaks the formation and finds Li Ye, he will be squeezed out by the laws of heaven in this world soon, and he will inevitably be separated from him.
Only Li Hongxiu and Li Ye know this secret. Tang Qiuyu and others don't know yet.
Just when the husband was anxious and angry, Li Ye, who had been missing for two days, returned to the cave entrance safely. Seeing the anxious look on the husband's face, he was also very excited.
She took her husband's hand and said, "Sir, this cave contains my opportunity. If nothing happens, I will practice here this winter. Even if the sky falls, I will not leave."
The gentleman was stunned, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked: "How deep is it? What opportunities are there? Why has there been no news in the past two days?"
But Li Ye pretended to be mysterious and smiled without saying a word. He only said that it would be a great help to his practice and that it was a rare opportunity.
If he misses this point, he will never be able to perfect some of his skills for the rest of his life.
Although Li Ye didn't say it clearly, his husband understood it. With Li Ye's previous experience of living alone on Tianshan Mountain for two years, his husband no longer struggled with the matter.
The master and the apprentice immediately lit a fire at the entrance of the cave to cook. The husband was anxious outside the cave for two days and was hungry for two days. Li Ye explored the cave for two days and was hungry for two days.
The two masters and apprentices had their stomachs full that day, built a stone platform using the stones at the entrance of the cave, and then made tea and talked.
The husband was happy that his apprentice returned safely and brought good news about the opportunity for practice that he could not help him with.
Li Ye searched in every possible way, but unexpectedly found a solution to the current cultivation problem on Fangcun Mountain.
The master and the disciple enjoy their own happiness, but it is inevitable that their happiness will be separated from each other.
Later, the master and the apprentice started cutting down trees together and built a wooden house outside the cave.
In the words of the teacher, since we are going to practice here through the winter, we need to set up a decent place, which is more convenient for cooking and drinking tea.
After the wooden house was built, the husband was ready to go back to the Qingshi Courtyard.
He calculated the time. It was almost time for Li Hongxiu and his party to return from the Buddhist capital. He had to go down and take a look.
Li Ye made a request to his husband before he left, which was to ask him to spend some time and go to Ouyang Dongli's place to move the sword-making platform in the wooden shed here.
He wanted to continue to complete the casting of Tang Qiuyu's Qiu Yu Wuhen here, and more importantly, he wanted to start casting his own epee.
The gentleman was startled and blurted out: "Have you found a way to forge an epee? Is this the opportunity in this cave?"
Li Ye chuckled and said, "Yes or no. If it's convenient, please invite me, Master Ouyang, to come over. I need to ask him about some things before forging the sword."
The teacher glared at him and said with a smile: "Listening to what you said, it feels like you are the master and he is the apprentice? Let him come here and listen to your manipulations?"
Li Ye became anxious and blushed: "Sir, you are joking. Aren't you inseparable from me? Otherwise, I will go down the mountain with you. You must know that Mu Mu will not be able to see me when he comes back from the mountain, so he will be angry."
The husband nodded, looked at her and said, "That guy is not easy to deal with. You have to talk to her about this."
"I promised her to spend the winter with her in Xuantian Temple, but I'm going to let her down again this time."
Li Ye looked at him and replied awkwardly.
The husband laughed loudly, waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I will be back soon. I think your wife and Mu Mu will both come to play with me. I will also call Ouyang Dongli. You need it." I have a lot of things to help you move here."
Li Ye thanked him profusely, but his husband didn't care.
He smiled and said: "Master and disciple, you and me, why do you need so many etiquettes? As long as you succeed in practice, that is the happiest thing for me."
Li Ye looked at him and replied seriously: "After a while, Minghui said that there might be a chance for me on Fangcun Mountain, but I didn't expect that I actually met him. It seems that I have to thank him when I go back."
When the husband heard this, he laughed and said, "When we go back, just give him some herbs picked from the mountains. The herbs we picked this time are not easy to find."
Li Ye thought to himself that if senior brother Minghui knew about this, he would probably wake up laughing in his dream.
He looked at the gentleman and said with a smile: "This is causing trouble to the gentleman. In my opinion, Mr. Tang's sword can be cast by tomorrow spring."
When the teacher heard this, he looked at him and replied with a smile: "I'm afraid Ouyang Dongli didn't expect that he could forge his own epee just before his eyes."
"He certainly wouldn't have thought that I could find the materials needed for this epee in the mountains." Li Ye murmured while looking at his husband.
"Don't be impatient. Practice slowly here. I'm afraid it will take you a lot of time to forge the sword, but don't delay your practice."
The first thing that came to my mind was the practice of Li Ye's "Shadowless Dharmakaya".
At that moment, Li Ye handed over the medicinal herbs that Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu were going to sell to his husband. The husband also left enough dried meat for Li Ye to eat until the beginning of spring, but he just brought rice oil for him when he comes back next time. necessitate daily necessities.
Waving his hand, Li Ye watched his husband's Beiying go down the mountain.
It was already the end of autumn, and the first winter snow in Fangcun Mountain was about to come.
