Ming Hui looked at him and said with a smile: "In the dark, everything has its own will."
Li Ye shook his head and said, "I met the alcoholic master before I went up Shangcun Mountain, but after drinking his wine, we both forgot about each other."
When Minghui heard this, she couldn't help but admired: "Even so, you can still meet again many years later. It seems that this fate arranged by God cannot be avoided even if you want to."
"In my opinion, the opportunity between me and the master came from a jar of wine from my brother Nalan." Opening the door of the small courtyard, Li Ye walked to the kitchen to wash up.
Nangong Ruyu came over with a plate of melon seeds, placed it in front of Minghui, and asked quietly: "Master, are you here to supervise the master's brewing? It seems that there is still half of it."
Minghui was stunned, touched her head, laughed, and replied: "Master knew that Yu'er had melon seeds, so he came here specially to eat melon seeds."
"Aren't you here to watch the master brew wine? There are plenty of melon seeds and jade, so feel free to eat them, master."
Nangong Ruyu looked at Minghui and laughed indifferently.
Minghui picked up a few melon seeds and put them in her hands, looked at her and said, "Has your father been here?"
"Dad has been here and chatted with the master for an hour. I don't know what they said. Xiaohua and I went to play in front of the main hall for a while..."
Nangong Ruyu didn't know that her master was earnestly persuading her father to go home, thinking that the two of them were talking about something they didn't want her to know.
Ming Hui looked at her and nodded, smiling: "When the master's wine is finished, your master will take you home. You must remember to bring some delicious food to the master next time."
Wu Xin wanted to go down the mountain and go home. Li Ye told Minghui on the first day he returned to Prajna Temple. Minghui and Wu Xin's master also supported Li Ye's opinion. After all, Wu Xin was a monk who had already entered the mortal world.
He should bear some responsibilities.
"Master seems to have said that after practicing in the temple for half a month, he will take Yu'er home to see grandpa. Don't worry, Master, Yu'er will definitely bring you delicious food when he comes back."
In her eyes, as long as it is something she likes, her master will buy it for her.
But the master refused, and he still had Xiaohua, grandpa and aunt.
She is the apple of the Nangong family's eye.
It's just that at this time, she forgot that she was still the little princess of the Five Domains Dynasty, and she would take out her salary from the palace and send it to the Nangong family every year.
"Okay, Master, I will wait for Yu'er to come back from the mountain." Minghui looked at her and smiled.
Ever since Li Ye asked him about Tianshan in Beixuan Domain, Minghui understood that his junior brother would not be able to stay in the temple for long.
In less than a year at most, he will probably take the little girl in front of him to conquer Cangshan Mountain.
"Yu'er, go read for a while and let your master listen." After washing, Li Ye came over with a bucket of spring water, preparing to light a fire to make tea.
As soon as Nangong Ruyu heard this, she ran to her room with a strange scream, and soon the sound of her childish reading could be heard.
The clouds are against the rain, the snow is against the wind, and the evening light is against the clear sky.
The approaching geese are opposite to the departing geese, and the local birds are opposite to the singing insects.
...
While lighting the fire, Li Ye looked at Ming Hui and said with a smile, "As long as I don't care about this disciple of mine, she will run around and have no time to read or write."
Minghui looked at him and said seriously: "Wuxin meeting you is also a blessing he gained from his previous life."
Li Ye looked at him, thought for a moment and then said: "Looking at his current situation, he hasn't made a final decision yet. I guess he has to ask his master and senior brother for your opinion. This is the last time I advise him. I won't do it again." I’ll take care of him no more.”
Li Ye thought to himself that everyone has their own way to go, whether it is Wu Xin or Nangong Xuanyuan, he has done his part, and the rest is up to them.
Minghui lowered his head and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I have never experienced love, so I can't make decisions for Wu Xin. Everything depends on him. His master has the same reason as me."
"So I just gave him a sense of reason. How could his own people on the roadside make up his mind for him."
He thought to himself every night that even Nangong Xuanyuan couldn't do anything to him?
Minghui was stunned. She didn't expect this matter to be so complicated. She said with emotion: "This decision is really difficult to make."
Li Ye looked at him and smiled and said, "Buddha said that all living beings suffer. It turns out this is the truth."
Listening to Nangong Ruyu's reading, Minghui's heart gradually widened, and she pointed to Yu'er's window and said: "If a disciple is like this, what else can you ask for, junior brother? You can cultivate your own state of mind by taking her with you, etc. When she grows up, your Taoism will probably be perfected."
"I hope so!" Li Ye didn't count on Nangong Ruyu for his cultivation, nor did he count on the woman in white.
The road to spiritual practice is long, and you have to rely on yourself for everything.
It was like this in the past, and it will be like this in the future.
He fiddled with the small stove with a branch and added two pieces of charcoal to it. Thinking about what he and Yu'er were worried about, Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head.
He added hot tea to Minghui's cup and said, "Senior brother, if you have free time, you can go to Xuantian Temple for a walk. After all, no one knows which day they will leave."
Minghui looked at the thin and clean face in front of her and sighed: "Speaking of which, their luck is indeed better than mine. They haven't practiced as many days as I have, and they all left here before me."
When Li Ye heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Senior brother has a compassionate heart for all living beings. Naturally, it is not as good as the two masters. I guess senior brother can leave long ago, just because the abbot senior brother has been bothering you..."
"According to you, if I leave now, who would it be better to leave Prajna Temple to? Wuxin's master Mingjue or the senior brother from the Discipline Hall? Why don't you come pick me up, junior brother, and I will go over and accompany them to leave now. Even if your body dies under the thunder tribulation, you will die without any regrets!"
Minghui looked at him seriously, her eyes shining brightly and enthusiastically.
Li Ye was shocked and looked at him and shook his head desperately: "Senior brother, please don't dig a hole to bury me. I told you my feelings when I met senior brother on the way here."
Not to mention that there are a lot of people waiting for him in the imperial city, such as his parents, sisters, husband and wife, etc. Jiang Ruoyu and Tang Qiuyu are in front of him. Once they know that they want to become a monk, I am afraid they will not let themselves go.
As if he already knew what Li Ye was thinking, the fire in Minghui's eyes gradually extinguished, and he returned to his expression of sadness and joy, and said in a daze: "So, who do you think will be the abbot?"
Li Ye was speechless.
Ming Hui sighed and said: "Junior Brother Ming Jue was focused on cultivating Wu Xin, thinking he had found a disciple who could take over his mantle, but who knew that a woman in white would appear on the way..."
Li Ye smiled and said: "His love is doomed to the outcome of this life. No one can force this. I still don't understand. Why did you want me to fall asleep in the first place, senior brother?"
"I don't know, it's been too long, I forgot!" Minghui looked at him and laughed.
"Which one is Wuxin's Three Lives and Three Lives? Or is it my Three Lives and Three Lives? Senior brother, you are so smart, you must know... Come on, senior brother, please clarify it for me!"
Minghui was stunned, looked at him and cursed: "You are the one who drank the tea of enlightenment for a thousand years, you are the one who smelled the agarwood for a hundred years, and you are the one who saw the three-life stone. Are you coming back to ask me now?"
Minghui thought to herself, "I don't have the dreamland that you can enter. How do you want me to make up a story for you?"
"I said it, do you believe it?"
Ming Hui looked at him and asked calmly.
Li Ye thought for a while, as if he had returned to that day again. There was a faint aroma in the Buddhist hall and a strong bitterness in his mouth...
"I don't know, the past has passed, and I don't want to worry about it anymore."
Looking at the angry Minghui, Li Ye laughed, looked at Minghui and said, "Senior brother, the tea tastes good, is there any more? Give it a try, and I will go down the mountain to find some good things for you to bring back."
When Minghui heard this, she stared at him and scolded: "Do you think Enlightenment Tea is Chinese cabbage? I only had two leaves at the time. I brewed half a pot of tea and drank half of it for you... What do you think? Compensate me?"
Li Ye was stunned and blurted out: "Then there will always be this tea tree in the world, right? Senior brother told me that I will find it and plant it in the mountain behind the temple."
Upon hearing this, Minghui couldn't help but reveal a strange smile on her face, pointing to the sky and saying: "I asked you to find your senior brother. You said that he had left, and he took this secret with him."
The meaning is obvious. Only Master Mingyi knows about this, and Li Ye made a fuss in an unknown place.
Do I have to go to another heaven to find my senior brother and ask about this matter? But when that time comes, do I still need these two pieces of Enlightenment Tea?
"Perhaps it is necessary? Don't I still have a sister and Yu'er?" Li Ye looked at Minghui and said a word without beginning or end, which immediately made Minghui look at him strangely, as if looking at a lunatic.
"I don't care when you go down the mountain, but you have to brew all the wine for me before you go down the mountain." Minghui pointed to the remaining five vats and said seriously.
He definitely couldn't count on Xuantian Guan's wine addict. The only one he could catch was the little junior brother in front of him. He couldn't let go of this unique wine in the five realms.
"Don't worry, master, I will keep an eye on the master and make wine for you."
While they were talking, Nangong Ruyu, who had read a poem, came out with a plate of pastries in her little hand. She ran all the way and put it on the table. She looked at Minghui and said, "It's delicious. Master, try it."
Li Ye looked at her and shook his head, saying, "Yu'er, can't you read a little more every time?"
Nangong Ruyu shook her head, picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into Li Ye's mouth, and said with a smile: "Yu'er is much more tired from studying than practicing swordsmanship. I have to take a break and talk about it tomorrow."
After saying that, she giggled. How could she be afraid of Li Ye's surprise?
After drinking three courses of tea and eating a few pastries, Minghui stood up, patted the fallen pastries on her body, and said, "I see you don't have any worries. It's very good. Let's go."
Without waiting for Li Ye to speak, he walked towards the courtyard.
Li Ye put down the tea cup, looked at his back and said, "Senior brother, I haven't said anything yet, why did you just leave? This is so unreasonable."
"So you want to handle it yourself. How can I, my senior brother, answer your questions?"
Ming Hui's voice came from outside the hospital, and it clearly meant that she was fading away.
"master."
"Well, tell me."
"Master is gone. Did Yu'er make him angry?"
"no!"
"It's not Yu'er, it turns out to be you, master?"
Nangong Ruyu looked at him with a smile, with a secret joy of digging a hole to bury someone. Li Ye was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he glared at her and said, "Have you practiced your sword today?"
"She has been crazy all morning. Where did she practice her sword?" Xiao Hua's voice came from the kitchen.
"Wow wow wow!" Nangong Ruyu jumped up like a frightened bird and blocked Xiaohua's mouth.
...
Xiaohua and I spent several days brewing ten jars of wine, and stirred the brewed wine several times while the spring rain was not lingering yet.
Sealing the vat and covering it with a bamboo mat completed the task assigned by Minghui.
As for the vat of drunkenness that he had brewed, he had already put it into the space ring. He also put away the vat of wine he brewed last year. He wanted to take it down the mountain and divide it into small urns.
Regardless of whether it is Nangong Xuanyuan or Nangong Feiyan, they have to send a few jars of new wine brewed last year.
As for the drunken life and dream, except for a few people on the mountain, he doesn't want to send it to anyone for the time being.
Even he himself doesn't know if he can brew another vat of wine like this. He must not be like the alcoholic who sold the memory that he can no longer brew for 10,000 or 20,000 gold coins.
On this day, after packing his luggage, he was about to go to Wu Xin and ask him what he thought and whether he wanted to go down the mountain together.
At this moment, Minghui pushed open the door and entered the small courtyard, followed by Wuyou who looked confused and confused.
"What happened?" Seeing that something was wrong, Li Ye, who was sitting in the courtyard, asked quietly.
Minghui looked back at Wuyou, and then sat opposite Li Ye.
Li Ye took two cups, ironed them, and poured hot tea for the two of them.
Wuyou looked at Li Ye and said softly: "That little junior uncle, senior brother, he left the temple early in the morning and went down the mountain alone."
When Li Ye heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looked at him and asked: "Since you have decided to go down the mountain, why don't you wait for me to come with you?"
Wuyou looked at the two men and shook his head, and replied in a low voice: "Senior brother said that when I came here, I was alone, and when I left, I also wanted to leave alone, not wanting to disturb others..."
After hearing this, Li Ye couldn't help but sigh, looked at Minghui and said, "I don't know whether I was right or wrong in persuading him to go down the mountain?"
Minghui picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip, and replied without sadness or joy: "Who knows?"
Looking at the sky above Fangcun Mountain, Li Ye murmured softly.
As quietly as I left, as quietly as I came.
...
