After knowing that she was going to Xuantian Temple on the north slope, Nangong Ruyu was extremely happy.
She had never been out before, so she walked all over the southern and northern slopes of Fangcun Mountain. She was so excited at such a young age that she didn't sleep well all night.
Mu Mu was also happy to know that she was going to Xuantian Temple. After all, the green pear tree in the small bluestone courtyard would be eaten soon.
Xiaoqing and Xiaohua didn't care. Wherever Mumu and Yu'er went, they would naturally go.
Only Wu Xin couldn't let go of Yu'er. Even so, Li Ye didn't say much to him. This was the effect he wanted.
He must be constantly shocked in his heart, and then one day take Nangong Ruyu down the mountain and return to the Nangong family.
A group of five people set out in the early morning. Along the way, four little girls, Yu'er and Mu Mu, either ran to catch butterflies or pick wild flowers. They waited until noon before arriving at the small bluestone courtyard on the back hill of Xuantian Temple.
Since Qingxu knew that Li Ye was coming back, he had people come over to clean it from time to time, making the whole courtyard look neat and orderly.
Pushing open the courtyard door, Nangong Ruyu looked at the green pears hanging all over the tree, and couldn't help but climb up the tree. Mu Mu grabbed her, hugged her and said with a smile: "Greedy cat, what's the point?" It’s not yet cooked.”
But I was thinking in my heart, how could I look the same as I did back then? I was so anxious.
"Sister Mu Mu, when can I eat it?" Nangong Ruyu's mouth was already drooling.
Mu Mu thought for a while and smiled: "When we go back to Prajna Temple to see your father, we will almost be able to eat it."
Li Ye shook his head and asked the girls to clean up his room. He went to the kitchen to light a fire to cook. He was probably very hungry all the way there.
Only Nangong Ruyu followed him, watching Li Ye light a fire in the kitchen, light it, wash rice, cook, and then take out dried meat and vegetables and wash them in a basin...
"Master, can Yu'er help you?"
"You just have to watch from the sidelines. I'll let you do it again in two years."
"Master, are you tired? Yu'er will give you a squeeze."
"Well, harder... Hey, a little to the right, harder."
"Hehe, Master, Yu'er can pinch your neck now."
Li Ye put down the green vegetables in his hand, pulled Nangong Ruyu over, and said with a smile: "Even your sister Mumu, it seems she never pinched me when she was a child!"
"Really? Isn't Yu'er the first person to pinch Master's neck? Geez, I'm going to tell Sister Mumu to go." After saying that, he clapped his hands and walked out of the kitchen.
Li Ye watched the little figure running outside, and suddenly felt like he was back on Tianshan Mountain.
At that time, Mu Muke had a lot of Nangong Ruyuye in front of her. There was almost nothing she didn't dare to do or a place she didn't dare to go.
After half an hour, Li Ye led several girls to eat at the stone table under the pear tree in the yard.
Xiaohua looked at Li Ye for a while and then said, "Well, I can also cook. Let me do it from now on."
Mu Mu was stunned, looked at her and said, "Mu Mu can also cook, but my brother won't let me do it."
Li Ye smiled and said: "From now on, when I'm not around, you can do it yourself."
"I heard from Yu'er, do you think I didn't pinch your neck on Tianshan Mountain?" Mu Mu said with a smile while serving rice.
Li Ye was stunned, looked at her and replied: "I just remembered Mu Mu's appearance on Tianshan Mountain from her. She seemed to be more wild than Yu'er..."
How dare Li Ye ask her to pinch his neck? After all, Mu Mu was at the second level of Nascent Soul.
She was known as the Little Witch when she was a child, not to mention that she is now a real master.
Yu'er looked at Li Ye's uncomfortable look, patted Mu Mu's hand gently and said, "Master must be afraid that my sister will pinch him painfully, so let Yu'er do it."
Seeing that it was impossible, Li Ye had no choice but to say: "Eat quickly and go back to the house to sleep. I want to see Taoist Master Qingxu."
Upon hearing this, Mu Mu asked: "Do you want me to go with you?"
Li Ye glanced at her and replied: "If my sister wants to learn Xuantian Guan's Kung Fu, come with me."
Mu Mu lowered her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I want to learn."
Li Ye nodded, looked at Xiaoqing and said, "Please Xiaoqing, please watch Yu'er in the room. Mumu and I will go back in a while."
"Remember to bring some rice and oil." Xiaoqing just went to the kitchen and found that there was too little edible food in it.
"Well, the Taoist Priest and I will ask for more." Li Ye thought to himself, if he can give him some silver at most, there should be no shortage of daily necessities in the temple. It's not winter yet.
...
At the end of the day, Li Ye took Mu Mu to the Qingxu courtyard and saw three teacups on the table and a pot of water boiling on the stove.
"Junior, I have met the Taoist Priest. I wonder how the Taoist Priest is doing in recent years?" Li Yeji raised his hand to greet Qingxu.
Mu Mu also blessed him and said in a low voice: "Junior Mu Mu has met the Taoist Master."
Qingxu pointed to the chair in front of the table and said with a smile: "Sit down, it's time for tea." After that, he poured hot tea for the two of them.
"How did the Taoist master know that I was coming?" Li Ye asked curiously, looking at the teacup in front of him.
"This is my territory. There are guests coming, how could I not know?" Qingxu said with a faint smile.
"This junior shouldn't be considered a guest. Mu Mu and I both want to take our senior as our teacher!" Li Ye thought about the days he spent at Xuantian Temple, and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Qingxu was stunned, then suddenly laughed, looked at the two of them and said, "You are indeed not guests, you should be considered a family. You see, my memory is not working well."
"Senior, what kind of skills do you think my sister can learn in Guanli?" Li Ye didn't ask about his own matters, but first asked about Mu Mu's practice.
"What weapon does the little girl use?" Qingxu looked at Mu Mu and asked.
"Back to senior, Mu Mu uses a knife." Mu Mu was secretly happy when she heard that Qingxu was willing to teach her. She had heard her husband say how powerful Qingxu was when she was at Xuantian Temple.
Qingxu thought for a while, looked at Li Ye and said, "Then let her learn to refine medicine with you, and then I will teach her a sword technique, how about that?"
Li Ye was overjoyed when he heard this, looked at Mu Mu and said, "Sister, why don't you kowtow to the master quickly?"
After saying that, he pulled Mu Mu to kneel down together, and kowtowed three times to Qingxu respectfully. Then he poured hot tea and served it. This was considered to have completed the simple apprenticeship ceremony.
Mu Mu looked at Qingxu and smiled: "In addition to Mr. Mu Mu, I have another master."
Qingxu looked at her and smiled: "I didn't expect that it would be a blessing to have you two as my disciples."
Li Ye looked at him and asked, "When will Mu Mu's senior swordsmanship teach her?" He thought that he would go to the back mountain first to forge his epee again. "
"Any time." Qingxu said with a smile. The girl in front of him, who was only fourteen years old, had already reached the second level of Nascent Soul and even worshiped himself as his teacher. How could he not be happy about this?
"In that case, Master Jiuma will teach Mu Mu the sword technique first. I want to go to the back mountain to practice for a few days, and by the way, I can forge the heavy sword."
Li Ye looked at the two of them and said seriously.
"Brother, are you going to the cave?" Mu Mu naturally knew where it was.
"Master, there is no earth fire here. I have no choice but to go somewhere. How can I have the chance to forge it in southern Xinjiang this year?" Li Ye thought that when he had mastered the Ruoshui Sword, it would be time to change to the heavy sword.
"You can go on your own and let Mu Mu stay in the temple. When you come back, the two of us will learn how to make medicine together." Qingxu knew that Li Ye's epee had not been refined well. The last time he cast iron arrows, he still made them from The metal he is asking for here.
Li Ye looked at him and smiled and said: "Master, we are here for the first time, and we haven't had time to go down the mountain to buy daily necessities. How about we ask the senior brothers and sisters in the temple to share some of it, and I ask Mu Mu to give them some silver?"
Qingxu glared at him and said with a smile: "You are my disciple now, how can you tell me so clearly? I will have someone take us to the small courtyard tomorrow."
Li Ye looked at Mu Mu and smiled and said, "With the master here, are you still worried about going hungry?"
When Qingxu heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
He had forgotten how long it had been since he had been so happy.
...
Back in the house, Li Ye explained to Nangong Ruyu and asked Xiaoqing and Xiaohua to take her to the back mountain to play. Mu Mu had to practice with Taoist Master Qingxu, and he had to make swords, so he couldn't be separated to take care of her. she.
Although Nangong Ruyu couldn't bear to leave Li Ye, she didn't care when she thought that Xiaoqing, Mumu and Xiaohua were all there. She just pulled Li Ye's sleeve and said, "Master, when you encounter fruit on the mountain, remember to bring it to Yu'er." Come back some."
When Li Ye heard this, he felt like a glutton again.
Touching her little head, Li Ye smiled and said, "If we meet, I will definitely take Yu'er to eat."
"Next time you go to the mountains, remember to take Yu'er with you." Nangong Ruyu had an idea and wanted to go into the mountains with Li Ye.
Li Ye thought for a while and said with a smile: "I'll go take a look first and tidy up the place, then I'll take you with me next time."
Nangong Ruyu nodded with satisfaction and ran to play with Mu Mu.
...
The summer in Fangcun Mountain is similar to that in Tianshan Mountain. It is cool in the morning and hot in the afternoon.
A gust of wind came, the shadows of the trees were dancing, and a figure was walking through the mountains.
Li Ye, who got up early, didn't say hello to Mu Mu and the others, so he dived into the vast mountains and ran towards the mountains he had been looking forward to all year.
Earth, Fire, Cold Pond, here I am again.
And the dragon in the square, I, Li Ye, am here again.
Traveling quickly, we arrived at the cliff outside the cave before noon.
Looking at the hut in front of him that had endured a year of wind and rain, Li Ye recalled the scene when he and his husband cut down trees to build a house.
Gently pushing the open wooden door open, Li Ye fetched water and cleaned the inside and outside of the house before starting to light a fire to cook.
He had to eat enough before he had the strength to go to the cave to forge his own heavy sword.
There is an underground fire pond and a cold pool next to the square.
Standing in the cave of Nuo Da, looking at the skeleton of the dragon, Li Ye felt as if he was in another world.
After picking up a few bones that fell on the ground, Li Ye went down the path in the cave and came to the ground fire pond.
He took out the black iron that Xia Yunlan gave him, and found some metal leftover from last year's casting of iron arrows on the edge of the pool. Xindao just used it to make swords for the princess and his sister.
Gently put different metals into the grooves beside the pool, watching the black iron and several metals make sizzling sounds, and gradually melt away after a while.
Li Ye picked up the wooden bucket and carefully poured the fresh cold pool water into the groove, then took out an iron rod-shaped sword embryo, and then put down the second piece.
It only took half an hour for the two sword embryos to be produced and lying quietly beside the sword-making platform.
After thinking about it, Li Ye took out the sword box that Ouyang Dongli gave him, gently took out the epee, put it in his hand and stroked it gently for a moment, thinking that it wouldn't be long before his epee can be used. .
Looking at the blazing ground fire, Li Ye put the heavy sword in again and waited quietly for the moment when the sword body burned red.
He didn't take away the tools for making swords last year, they were all kept here.
Looking at the epee that gradually turned red, Li Ye's breathing became heavier. He picked up the epee with both hands and carefully placed it on the sword-making platform. He held the hammer in his right hand and began to bang it.
The soul of the dragon has already been integrated into the sword body. Now he only needs to temper the heavy sword again, and when the time is right, he can use it after driving the sword edge.
Thinking about my practice all the way, from the simplest iron sword given by my husband, to the wooden sword, bamboo sword, and now to the Ruoshui sword I use now, I have gained insights into several swordsmanship. I look forward to one day holding an epee in the snow. Sword training in the field.
If the water sword is already invincible, I don’t know what will happen if it is replaced by an epee sword...
If you can cultivate the eighth level of the formless body to perfection, you can use the power of true energy in your Dantian to dance the heavy sword...
Thinking of this, he decided to explore Hantan again later, although the last time he almost killed him.
It seems that the only place on Fangcun Mountain that can stimulate his physical potential is this cold pool.
