"Junior brother, why is your sword so fast?"
"Sister, your sword is too slow."
"Junior brother, how did you learn about my sword moves? It seems like this is the first time I try the sword with you!"
"Senior sister, you have misunderstood me. Sir has not taught me sword moves yet."
There was no electric fight under the pear tree, just two people trying out moves, one on offense and the other on defense.
Even so, Xia Wutong, who used all his strength, still couldn't break through the defense of Li Ye's bamboo sword.
"Junior brother, have you realized that there is no way to win without a move?" asked Xia Wutong, who was secretly frightened as he drew his sword.
"I really don't know. I just want to block every sword you throw at me."
Li Ye was a little depressed. He couldn't tell that when he was competing with Mu Mu on Tianshan Mountain, he had already used his spiritual consciousness to feel the pine needles flying all over the sky, right?
Compared with the countless flying pine needles in Mu Mu's hand, Xia Wutong's sword moves in front of her were too slow.
But this was only when Xia Wutong didn't use his true energy.
If Xia Wutong used the fifth level of golden elixir energy to compete with Li Ye, Li Ye, who did not dare to hurt others, would only suffer.
The two of them fought in the snow under the pear tree for half an hour. Seeing that it was past midnight, Li Ye stopped his sword moves.
He touched his stomach and said, "Senior sister, I'm hungry. Let's eat porridge first."
After saying that, without waiting for her reply, he ran towards the kitchen.
Xia Wutong kicked her butt, thinking that I haven't had enough fun yet. Seeing the figure running into the kitchen, she had no choice but to put away her wooden sword, took out her silk scarf, and wiped away the sweat stain on her forehead.
"Let the master fight with him later!" He muttered, turned around and walked towards the living room.
...
Under Li Ye's confusion, the two hurriedly ate a few bowls of winter bamboo shoot porridge, and then Li Ye carried the pots and bowls to wash them.
Xia Wutong finished clearing the table and laid the pen and ink written by Li Ye on the table again.
"Why is this on the table?" After finishing washing, Li Ye walked into the living room and looked at Xia Wutong and asked.
"I like to read your handwriting." Xia Wutong raised his head and glanced at him, then continued to look down at Hu Xuan.
Li Ye blushed and replied: "What's so good about the words?"
Xia Wutong didn't reply to him.
"If my husband hadn't asked me to practice swordsmanship by writing on the stone wall on Tianshan Mountain, I would definitely not have worked so hard."
Seeing that Xia Wutong didn't speak, Li Ye muttered.
Having said this, Xia Wutong raised his head and looked at Li Ye, thinking thoughtfully.
Said: "I wonder if it is that if Mr. didn't force you to practice calligraphy on the stone wall, wouldn't you be able to understand Ruoshui Sword Intent?"
"Do you know Ruoshui Sword Intent? Have you realized it too?" Li Ye dragged a stool and sat across from her.
"Well, I just realized something!" Xia Wutong waved his hand and pointed at the door of the living room: "I understood something from the handwriting under your knife."
After speaking, he continued to look into the ink he wrote.
As he watched, her eyes lit up slightly and her frown gradually opened.
Calming looked at Li Ye sitting opposite, moved his red lips, but said nothing.
Li Ye looked at her funny and asked lightly: "What do you want to say?"
Xia Wutong looked at him, took a deep breath, and then exhaled it slowly. ,
He said quietly: "When I was in Fengyun City, my master said that your words contained sword meaning. I never believed it. It wasn't until now that I realized that those scriptures and words contain a trace of your sword meaning. They should belong to you." Ruoshui Sword Intention!"
"Have it?"
"There's none?"
"Well, I have never cared about this. For me, writing is writing, and practicing swordsmanship is practicing swordsmanship. These are two different things."
Li Ye thought for a while and replied.
"For you, these are two different things, but your junior brother, have you ever thought that because you have practiced sword practice repeatedly for many years, maybe you will inadvertently incorporate a trace of sword intention into it when you write?"
"Just like when you are practicing swordsmanship, do you occasionally have a sentence or two that you have written flashing through your mind?"
Xia Wutong was unwilling to give in and guided Li Ye carefully.
Li Ye frowned slightly and lowered his head in thought.
After a while, he smiled calmly and said: "So that's it... How can I still practice like this? In the past, I ate when I ate and slept when I slept. I never thought about the principle of multitasking."
"In the Great Buddha Temple, the old master monk also taught me this. Unexpectedly, I accidentally integrated the sword intention into calligraphy. It seems that I need to have a serious discussion with my husband."
"Junior brother, if you can understand these truths, I think your husband will be happy for you."
Xia Wutong smiled and poured a cup of hot tea for Li Ye, then lowered his head to rub the frozen ink.
Seeing her look, Li Ye didn't want to disturb her anymore. He thought about the unfinished scriptures, then got up and took another brush from his husband's bookshelf, returned to the table and sat down.
He took out the nearly completed scroll and started copying it with the ink Xia Wutong had polished.
Xia Wutong, who was sitting across from him, didn't say anything when he saw him. He just started writing and ink. He stopped trying to pick up the pen, turned half a circle, and stood behind Li Ye to watch quietly.
Li Ye was startled, and the brush in his hand stopped for a moment.
This was the first time someone stood behind him and watched him copy scriptures. He only paused for a moment, then continued to wave his hair, blurring out the blank scrolls.
Xia Wutong, who was standing behind him, only looked at it for a moment, and then couldn't help but follow Li Ye's strokes and dance gently, as if he were holding flowers in the air, which was so wonderful.
After reading for a long time, Xia Wutong, who still felt that drawing in the void was not enough, returned to the table, picked up the pen, and continued to write Li Ye's poem last night.
The living room is so peaceful in the afternoon.
There was only a pot of steaming hot water beside the table.
One is sitting here writing the post,
One was sitting there copying scriptures.
...
Unknown how long, at the last moment, the sound of a door opening, footsteps, and Mu Mu's shouts in the yard interrupted their practice.
Mu Mu, who was the first to run into the living room, looked at the two people sitting at the table waving pens and ink.
Lying on Li Ye's back, he smiled, stuffed a candied date into his mouth, and then said with a smile: "Is it sweet?"
Li Ye was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he put down the brush in his hand, bit the candied date in his mouth, and said with a smile, "It's very sweet. Did Mu Mu have fun today?"
While they were talking, Li Hongxiu and Tang Qiuyu walked in. Tang Qiuyu walked behind Xia Wutong, looked at her post carefully, and said with a smile: "Not bad, it has some taste. Keep working hard."
Li Hongxiu sat down at the table, looked at Li Ye and said, "Little guy, the sun is shining on your butt today and you haven't gotten up yet."
Li Ye stood up, and while cleaning up the pen and ink on the table, he replied: "Master's wife, there is no sun today."
Mu Mu also looked at Li Hongxiu and nodded vigorously: "Yes, it's snowing outside, and a lot of it fell on Mu Mu's hair." After that, she took out a silk scarf and wiped it off her head.
Li Hongxiu laughed angrily when she saw the two of them, pulled Mu Mu over, grabbed the silk scarf in her hand, and waved it gently on the ground.
Said: "You are a little money-crazy, my love for you is in vain."
Mu Mu looked at her and thought for a while before replying: "My wife said that my own people are worthless."
...
When Mr. Ouyang Dongli sat down around the table, Xia Wutong had already poured hot tea in front of everyone.
Li Ye had already put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table and placed them on his husband's bookshelf.
The gentleman picked up the hot tea in front of him and took a sip.
He said calmly: "I saw that you slept late last night, and I didn't wake you up when you went out in the morning. The temple master was not here, so Taoist Master Qingxu asked you to come over and sit down when you are free."
Li Ye nodded and replied: "When the disciple has slowed down his practice, I will definitely go and visit."
Mu Mu looked at the serious expressions of everyone, shook his head, looked at Li Ye and said, "Brother, the grandfather of Xuantianguan has given Mu Mu gifts. Where is the New Year's money you gave me?"
Li Ye was stunned, touched her head and said, "What gift did Master Qingxu give you?"
Mu Mu waved her hand and took out a wrapped silk scarf. After opening it, five glowing elixirs appeared in front of Li Ye. Mu Mu looked at her and said seriously: "Grandpa said that this elixir is good for Mu Mu's practice, so Mu Mu should take it when she has time."
Li Ye took one, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then gave it back to her.
After thinking for a while, he said: "You and Sister Wutong have just broken through the second level. You must not take these pills now. You can wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to take them, okay?"
Mu Mu smiled and carefully put away the wrapped silk scarf.
She looked at him and smiled and said: "Grandpa said the same thing. Since my brother said the same thing, Mumu will just endure it and wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival before eating it."
The husband looked at her and said seriously: "Relying on pills to improve your realm is not a long-term solution after all. You still have to work hard on your own to practice."
Tang Qiuyu nodded along with his husband's words, and took out three pills and handed them to Xia Wutong.
He said: "Taoist Master Qingxu also gave you a copy. We, master and disciple, will go over to thank him another day."
Xia Wutong was so happy that she raised her head and glanced at Mu Mu before carefully taking the pill from Tang Qiuyu's hand.
He said happily: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Taoist Master Qingxu, Mu Mu, let's work hard together."
Mu Mu nodded, turned to look at Li Ye and said, "Grandpa originally wanted to give my brother a few pills, but my husband said that my brother was practicing Buddhist physical skills and did not need to rely on pills to improve his realm, so he didn't give them. you."
There was clearly a sense of comfort in that voice.
Li Ye smiled lightly and said, "Brother naturally doesn't need pills to practice, as long as Mu Mu is happy."
After speaking, he took out a pile of gold coins, placed them on the table, counted fifty, pushed them in front of Mu Mu, and said with a smile: "This is the new year's money given to Mu Mu by my brother."
Mu Mu stretched out her hands and quickly pulled them to her side. While counting, she smiled and said, "My brother is the best to Mu Mu. He gives Mu Mu money every year."
Li Ye shook his head, counted another fifty, pushed it in front of Xia Wutong, and said with a smile: "Mumu calls you sister, I am her brother, and this is the lucky money I give you."
Xia Wutong was stunned, opened his mouth, looked at Li Ye and said, "Me too?"
Although he said this, his hands started counting like Mu Mu happily.
Li Yeru counted two more piles of fifty gold coins each, pushed them in front of Ouyang Dongli and Li Hongxiu, and said with a smile: "This is a red envelope for Master and Mistress to pay their New Year greetings. I will not give it to Mr. and Mr. Tang." ."
After saying this, he put away the few scattered gold coins in front of him, looked at Mu Mu and said, "Don't spend it randomly when you go to Buddha City next time. Buy a bunch of useless things back."
Mu Mu curled her lips and made a face at him.
Ouyang Dongli's face turned red and he shouted: "Why did you give the master gold coins?"
Having said that, he started counting in his hands, and each counted half of them and gave them to Mu Mu and Xia Wutong in front of them.
He smiled and said, "Come on, come on, this is the New Year's money I'm giving to you two little guys. Collect it quickly before I regret it!"
Xia Wutong and Mu Mu both started to grab money from the gold coins on the table.
"Thank you, Uncle Ouyang!"
"Thank you, Master Ouyang!"
Li Hongxiu glared at Ouyang Dongli and said angrily: "You are such an iron rooster!"
After saying that, he took out some gold coins, counted fifty, looked at the two girls and said with a smile: "Come on, this is the new year's money given to you by the master's wife!"
Mu Mu smiled broadly at this time and said: "Thank you, Master, Mu Mu has made a fortune! Hoho!"
Xia Wutong also smiled and thanked Li Hongxiu and accepted the gold coins in front of him.
Li Hongxiu looked at Li Ye and said faintly: "I didn't expect that in the past few years, you have been giving red envelopes to my wife, but my wife has never given you a penny." As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Li Hong saw it and quickly stood up and replied: "Master, you and your husband are the closest people to me. Giving you money is what a disciple should do. Besides, I have money in the mountains and have no place to spend it. Many daily necessities are still provided by Master from down the mountain." Bought back."
Ouyang Dianli nodded, looked at Li Hongxiu and said with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, if you just let the children see the joke, you can give them some delicious food later!"
Tang Qiuyu couldn't help but wiped her eyes, looked at Li Hongxiu and said, "We are all one family, so don't talk about two families."
When the gentleman heard this, he almost fell from his stool to the ground.
