An earth-shattering golden light that broke through the realm failed to restore Li Xiuyuan's memory.
Before the first snow came, the woman in white took Nangong Ruyu to say goodbye to the three masters and apprentices on Wangyue Stream, although Nangong Ruyu was unwilling to leave.
Finally, under Li Xiuyuan's persuasion, he reluctantly followed his mother in the direction of the academy.
Before leaving, she had to make an appointment with Li Xiuyuan to meet at Luoxia Mountain next summer. She repeatedly warned Li Xiuyuan not to lie to her, and said a lot of long-winded words that only a little girl could say.
In the end, the woman in white had to pull her to hide her face and go away. She was no longer in the state of mind of a twenty-year-old girl. In the blink of an eye, she was back to the Xuantian Temple, the little girl who was noisy and refused to go down the mountain.
Li Xiuyuan, his master, and Qingying stayed inside for a few more days. Li Xiuyuan handed the letter to Hua Tianyu to Qingying and asked her to return with the Demon Realm students in a few days. The master would arrange this.
Seeing the wind and snow gradually rising, the master returned to the bamboo house in the academy with one person and an eagle, because the master wanted to test Wei Qing's cultivation this year.
Although the Master has asked Wei Qing to become Liao Chang's disciple, he still likes this little guy from the bottom of his heart.
When Li Xiuyuan dragged a "disabled" leg and used his spiritual consciousness to explore the way to the kitchen backyard, Wei Qing had only completed half of today's homework, because the dry firewood in the kitchen had been used up, and now most of it was wet firewood.
Seeing his senior brother return to the academy, Wei Qing put down the hatchet in his hand, walked over, took Li Xiuyuan's hand and said with a smile, "Senior brother, are you finally willing to come back?"
"Teacher is waiting for you in the bamboo house. Come back quickly. I will do the rest of the work for you." Li Xiuyuan reached out and took Wei Qing's hatchet.
Wei Qing didn't show any pretense. He thanked Li Xiuyuan, washed the dust off his body, and then said goodbye and went to the master's bamboo house.
Holding the woodcutter in his hand, Li Xiuyuan seemed to have returned to the scene when the dean brought him back.
The sword is still the same as before, and the person is still the same person, but the state of mind is different from that of the past.
Holding a knife in one hand and holding firewood in the other, using the knife as a sword, imagine the firewood on the ground as a bandit at the foot of the mountain...
No one else knew about the master's return, but the dean, who was sitting in the room making tea, sensed it. Opposite him sat the fat elder in the kitchen.
"Would you like to go over and chat with me and ask about the vision that happened in the back mountain that day and the golden light in the sky?" the fat elder asked, looking at the dean.
The dean thought for a while, looked at him and replied: "It's almost noon, let him rest for a while, let's go over at noon."
The fat elder thought for a while, looked at the dean and said, "It seems that the owner of Taoyuan has left with his daughter. Unexpectedly, she stayed with the Master and Li Xiuyuan in the back mountain for a summer and an autumn..."
The dean looked at him and smiled and said: "Isn't this a good thing? It shows that the boy is charming. He can keep the mother and daughter together for so long. I'm afraid no one in the academy can do it."
The fat elder sighed and said with a smile: "What a monster. It's a pity that his temper is as bad as the master's."
The dean also sighed and replied: "It's better than nothing. Although he said he doesn't care, when it comes to life and death, he can't just watch these students in the academy die, right?"
When the fat elder heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and replied: "So, we have one more unpredictable master hiding in the dark?"
"Who knows? Let's have a drink at noon." The dean was in a good mood and looked at the fat elder and said.
"It's worth three drinks... I just don't know, can Li Xiuyuan's eyes recover?" Thinking of Li Xiuyuan's injuries, the fat elder couldn't help but sweat for him.
The dean shook his head, looked at him and replied: "What a stupid person you are? Who is his master? Master is not in a hurry. Is it useful for you to be in a hurry?"
"Both the master and the disciple can't figure it out with common sense. Who knows what they are thinking. Maybe they are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, hoping to see the jokes of us old guys."
The fat elder laughed loudly. In his heart, Li Xiuyuan was a guy who liked to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
The dean smiled and replied: "Let's just take a look and let the elders and students in the academy worry about it."
The fat elder nodded and returned: "That's fine. Li Xiuyuan is a natural whetstone. Letting those little guys suffer more losses will be good for them in the future."
.....
His clothes were soaked by the snow, and there were traces of melted snow on his clothes. Wei Qing looked a little embarrassed, but there was no look of embarrassment in his eyes. He stood quietly outside the bamboo hut, looking at his master and giggling.
The master looked at him for a moment without saying anything, then reached out and poured him a cup of hot tea.
After walking into the room and sitting down opposite the master, Wei Qing smiled and said, "Teacher is back, where is Ying'er?"
The master smiled and replied: "It took a lot of effort to wait until it snowed, and then she ran into the wild."
"I also want to have a pair of wings so that I can fly freely in the sky and on the earth." Wei Qing said with a smile.
"Do you want to join the demon realm? Do you want me to let Ying'er take you to the demon realm to study?" Master joked.
"I like to be with the teacher. I just thought about it, but I couldn't take it seriously."
Looking up at the Master, Wei Qing replied timidly.
He reached out and took out a clean handkerchief and carefully wiped the snow water hanging on his face. Wei Qing took a sip of the tea in front of him, and then stretched his waist.
The master smiled and said: "I see that the energy in your body is very full. It seems that you will break through soon."
Wei Qing lowered his head and smiled: "Teacher, have you noticed it too?"
The master replied with emotion: "Yes, I never expected that the little hunter Li Xiuyuan met in the mountains would become a middle-stage Jindan practitioner in the blink of an eye."
When Wei Qing heard this, he couldn't help laughing, stood up and saluted the master. Then he returned: "If he hadn't met his senior brother and teacher, Wei Qing would still be hunting in the mountains with his father."
"It's almost time. You can try to use the water-breaking knife that your senior brother forged for you. It happens to be winter when you have nothing to do, so you can practice."
The master thought of the knife that Xiu Yuan forged for Wei Qing, looked at Wei Qing and said.
When Wei Qing heard this, he laughed, cupped his hands and replied, "Teacher, I'll give it a try in a few days. It just so happens that my senior brother is back, I can ask him for some sword skills."
The master shook his head, looked at him and replied: "You have to ask the dean for sword skills. Your senior brother uses a sword."
"How many moves do I want to have with my senior brother?" Wei Qing replied in a low voice.
"Well, you go find him... Ying'er will leave the academy during the holidays and go to the Demon Realm to practice. You have worked hard in the academy for a year, so go home and spend time with your parents."
Wei Qing's home was a small town at the foot of the mountain. The master wanted his disciples to go home and spend more time with their parents after practicing. After all, in the next few decades, he may be his own world.
Mortals who have not embarked on the path of spiritual practice will ultimately be unable to fight against the natural laws of heaven.
Seeing that Wei Qing had not come to his senses, the master continued: "From now on, you should practice well with the dean. When you reach a certain level, you can stay in the academy to teach. The path your senior brother is taking is not suitable for you."
Wei Qing was stunned, looked at the Master blankly and asked: "Both teacher and senior brother are going to leave Wei Qing?"
The master looked at him and sighed, and replied softly: "I am getting old, and it is only a matter of time before I leave! Your senior brother still has his own way to go. He will go down the mountain during the Qingming Festival next year at the latest."
When Wei Qing heard what the master said, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable. He didn't expect that the people closest to him in the academy would all leave, and he would really be the only one left in the future.
Seeing his uncomfortable look, the master added tea for him and replied calmly: "You are too young and have not experienced separation in the human world, and your senior brother has seen too much. The dean is here, and the fat elder in the kitchen is here. , they will take care of you."
Wei Qing looked at the master, nodded gently and replied, "Disciple must practice well with the dean."
The master looked at him and continued: "When you become a teacher in the academy, and the academy recruits students from the small towns down the mountain, you can also take care of them."
This is the result of the master's discussion with Li Xiuyuan for an autumn. Only by arranging Wei Qing's future path can the master and the disciple walk with peace of mind.
Wei Qing seemed to understand the master's good intentions, lowered his head and replied: "I'm afraid it's still very early for a student to become a teacher."
The Master shook his head and said: "Who said that teaching must be very powerful? When you enter the Nascent Soul Realm, you can do teaching while practicing with the fat elder and the dean!"
"Disciple has learned the lesson!" Wei Qing replied.
"You don't have to be afraid. The dean will come to see me in the afternoon and I will tell him about you. It's settled now!"
The Master looked at him and said seriously.
...
Kitchen in the backyard.
Li Xiuyuan missed the meal at the academy because he was too focused on the woodcutter in his hand. After learning about it, he simply stayed in the backyard and felt the connection between the woodcutter in his hand and heaven and earth.
Unknowingly, because of the mutation in his body's true energy, the breath of heaven and earth was vaguely repelled. Could it be said that the world could not tolerate him?
Or can't he tolerate the true energy in his body?
The sharp hatchet was raised and lowered, and the wet firewood was opened in response. There was no unnecessary sound, and the knife cut through the cracks of the wood easily and silently. A monotonous sound of chopping wood was heard in the backyard.
Li Xiuyuan didn't know what level his swordsmanship had reached, because no one could defeat him, not even the killer from behind could pass three moves under his hands.
The hatchet in his heart kept slashing in the air. He wanted to catch the glimmer of inspiration when the knife passed through the wood and cracked the wood. He wanted to use his spiritual consciousness to catch the flash of lightning, but he always failed to achieve his wish.
However, this repeated failure did not affect his interest in chopping wood at all, and he remained tireless in raising and lowering the knife.
He left the kitchen just after Shen Shi. His face did not look haggard because he had forgotten to eat at noon. Instead, he looked full of energy, just like Wei Qing, who was about to break through in front of his master.
Arriving at the academy square with his hands behind his back, Li Xiuyuan faced the wind and snow all day. He felt that the world in his eyes was covered with a cyan halo, and he felt like he was going straight up to the sky and leaving through the sky.
Because he was in a good mood, Li Xiuyuan did not leave immediately when he met a group of male and female students playing in the snow. He just stood aside and looked at them from a distance. After all, he was only thirteen years old at the moment.
The thirteen-year-old boy has never enjoyed the joy of childhood.
However, when a group of men in the snow saw Li Xiuyuan, the atmosphere suddenly felt strange. These students, who could be regarded as his classmates, seemed to have no interest in chatting with him.
Some students even pointed in his direction with disdain on their faces.
"Look, the blind man came out of the mountains! Do you want to play with him?"
"Don't talk nonsense, he is Master's student."
"What about Master's student? He is blind now. How can a blind man fly into the sky?"
Although the voices of these students were very small, they were captured by the consciousness released by Li Yesiu.
Shaking his head, he thought that after all, he was not from the same world as them. There was no need to force others to accept him, and there was no need to force himself into their lives.
Qin Feiyan from the Tianfeng Kingdom was also there. Ever since Qin Yiyuan was expelled from the college, she seemed to have grown up overnight, which made her understand some truths.
Standing in the snow, she looked up, sighed and shook her head at Li Xiuyuan's leaving figure.
This was supposed to be the genius of Tianfeng Kingdom, but because of Qin Qianshan's selfishness, he was pushed to the side of the academy.
But she didn't know at this time that Li Xiuyuan did not belong to the academy. In front of him, he was just waiting for his master to leave before turning around and leaving the academy.
"Sister Feiyan, look, why is there no footprints in the snow where that guy walked?"
Shangguan Yun, who was behind Qin Feiyan, looked at Li Xiuyuan's leaving figure and covered her mouth tightly.
