The two of them finished eating and cleared the table. Li Xiuyuan walked to the front to open the door to welcome guests, while Ximen Xiaoyu continued to practice piano in the backyard.
"There are many rooms here. If you are sleepy, just find a place to rest."
Li Xiuyuan moved out with several jars of wine and chatted with Ximen Xiaoyu.
"Did my sister-in-law break through in your yard?" Looking at Li Xiuyuan's back, Ximen Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask.
"It seems so. She is not as smart as you, she is very stupid..." Li Xiuyuan, who had already walked to the front hall, couldn't help but comment on Huangfu Qingmei.
"Giggle! If she hears this, be careful she comes to skin you..."
Ximen Xiaoyu, who grew up in Fucheng, knew Huangfu Qingmei was domineering and unreasonable, and thought that in the entire wilderness, only his master could deal with her.
Her brother was like an obedient kitten in front of her, unable to bring up any dignity of a man.
Sometimes, she would even secretly feel sad for Ximen Lone Star!
I thought to myself that if I were a man, I would never marry a woman like Huangfu Qingmei even to death.
But what she didn't know was that she had long been infected with Huangfu Qingmei's temper unconsciously.
Only an indifferent person like Li Xiuyuan would not care about her bad temper.
As soon as Li Xiuyuan opened the door, many customers came to buy wine. He sold five jars of black bean wine and six jars of sorghum. This windy and snowy day was a good season for drinking.
Ordinarily, Li Xiuyuan no longer needs to make wine to make a living at this time, but as he is responsible for the original customers, he is still willing to spend some hours every day making wine and another half a day selling wine.
To him, this is the atmosphere of fireworks in the world, and he likes this atmosphere of fireworks.
Sitting in the shop selling a few jars of wine, Li Xiuyuan, who was bored during his free time, took out the book he had copied about runes, and flipping through it, he found a legend about becoming a rune master.
Regarding the Talisman Master, handing over is not just about letting heaven and earth know the meaning of this Talisman, but also about not being attached to external things.
Just like the talisman text was originally written on talisman paper, the materials used were nothing more than pine ink and cinnabar.
But Li Xiuyuan engraved it on the arrow branch, making it a talisman arrow.
Just like every black stone brick under the Great Wall, different runes are carved on each one, forming a huge rune array.
What if I use my footsteps to write a huge and rune on this Ding'an City Lord?
What if I use my talisman to engrave a shackle formation around a small restaurant by the lake?
What if every brick and every board in this small courtyard were engraved with runes?
if......
If that's the case, I will be invincible in Ding'an City!
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan suddenly felt an ambition in his heart, and he wanted to try to step into the threshold of the Talisman Master. At least, he wanted to engrave the runes he wanted on this small courtyard, this long street, and certain places in this city.
Continuing to scroll back, what caught his eyes was a rune he had never learned before, a sword energy rune.
Integrate the sword intention into the runes, let the will of heaven and earth understand your sword intention, turn the sword intention into the runes, and give the enemy a fatal blow.
One sword intention can't kill you, what about ten? What about Momochi?
This is my rune world, this is my sword world, in my world I am invincible.
Thinking of this, he just wanted to shout loudly. If this was not Ding'an City, he would have run to the street and shouted wildly.
Today is the day when Ximen Xiaoyu heard the Tao and entered the Tao.
Today is the day when my Talisman is about to become a Talisman Master.
Thousands of runes and talisman arrows have been engraved, and it is time to try to engrave the runes in my heart into certain places in Ding'an City.
At least in this courtyard, he wants to carve different runes all over it.
Even after fifty years of wind and snow, it cannot fall.
"Master, what are you thinking about? Are you forging a sword?" While Li Xiuyuan was thinking secretly, Ximen Xiaoyu took out the face embryo that Li Xiuyuan had placed on the sword-making platform.
Looking up, I saw that it was already half past the Shen time, and the day was about to pass in the blink of an eye.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the sword embryo in her hand and smiled: "This is only a semi-finished product, and it's still early for it to be released."
Upon hearing this, Ximen Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully, pointed to the cloud pattern on the sword and asked, "How come I have never seen this pattern before, and I have never heard of cloud patterns being forged on the sword."
Li Xiuyuan replied calmly: "This is my method, and it is naturally different from others."
Ximen Xiaoyu frowned and asked: "Why do I feel that these lines look like drops of rain? Could it be that when the master was forging, he was thinking about the sound of spring rain?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and looked over the sword embryo.
After a long while, he replied softly: "It seems to have the meaning of some raindrops. I didn't expect that I just walked away for a while, and even the sword embryo also changed slightly."
"Can you give this sword to me after it comes out? I want to name her Xiaoyu."
Ximen Xiaoyu looked at the sword embryo in Li Xiuyuan's hand and couldn't put it down. She wanted to get this sword.
Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked up at her and asked, "Didn't you have a sword before?"
When Ximen Xiaoyu heard this, he couldn't help complaining: "How can those forgers in Fucheng make a satisfactory long sword? I still only use the iron sword that the princess used many years ago."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "How are you sure that the sword I forged is a sword?"
Ximen Xiaoyu then nodded and said with a smile: "I like the cloud pattern on this sword, so let's call her Xiaoyu Sword."
Li Xiuyuan didn't expect that this sword hadn't been released yet, but people were still thinking about it. Fortunately, he himself had no intention of using these two swords. Qing Ying wants one, Wei Qing already has a sword, and Little Fatty has the elders of the sword pavilion, so he will not be short of swords.
After thinking about it, I could give it to this smart student.
Reaching out and flicking the sword, Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said with a smile, "I heard the sword's sound was like raindrops, so how about I tell him to listen to the raindrops?"
"Ting Yu? This sword name is so nice, I like it! I will call you Ting Yu Jian from now on."
Ximen Xiaoyu looked at Li Xiuyuan and chuckled, like a child getting a favorite toy.
"It's just that I don't have good materials to make this scabbard right now..." Even the monster leather obtained from the back mountain of the academy seemed not enough to accommodate Tingyu in front of him.
Li Xiuyuan frowned when he looked at her. He couldn't make another sword box made of iron wood like his own iron sword, right?
"Don't worry about this. I'll go back and look for it at home. I should be able to find better monster leather."
Seeing Li Xiuyuan's entangled look, Ximen Xiaoyu thought of his parents. I thought that there must be something I need in the treasure house of Ding'an City.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and murmured with a smile: "It's clearly a warm snowstorm outside, but all you hear is the sound of drops of rain. It's really incredible."
"Master, didn't you say that whatever I think of, the sound of the piano will turn into something? So when I think of the light rain in spring, what I see is naturally the light rain..."
The Ximen Xiaoyu in front of me would not be an exaggeration to say that she is a piano fanatic.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and laughed: "Hearing the thunder in the silence, hearing the light rain in the wind and snow... You have already cultivated your own way of playing the piano."
"Is it so fast? I've only been here two days?"
Ximen Xiaoyu opened her mouth wide and asked incredulously.
"There is a sequence of learning the Tao, but there is no set time to enter the Tao. Didn't your master teach you this?" Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled.
Ximen Xiaoyu looked at him and shook her head gently, thinking how could Zhuang Wan'er teach her these principles.
Li Xiuyuan sighed, looked at him and said: "It's okay if you haven't been taught before! I'm telling you these truths now. These are all my teachers and seniors told me. I also hope you can listen to them, no matter what happens in the future. how......"
Ximen Xiaoyu looked at him and asked cautiously: "When will my Tingyu Sword be released?"
"About spring, I still have to make wine, and I have to do business to support myself."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said quietly, thinking that he would no longer continue to forge it day and night like he did when he made the water-breaking knife.
When Ximen Xiaoyu heard this, he couldn't help complaining: "How long will it take? Why don't you just teach me the sword skills as well? In the next days, I will practice swordsmanship for half the day and piano for the other half."
Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan was slightly startled. After being silent for a while, he asked in confusion: "My swordsmanship is a mess, how can I teach you? Don't cause any more trouble for me."
Looking at this fresh and lovely face and the trace of pride in his heart, Li Xiuyuan suddenly felt a hint of regret in his heart.
Why should I teach you how to play the piano? Why should I give you Tingyujian? Why should I teach you how to practice swordsmanship? I'm very busy.
Slowly turning the tea cup, Li Xiuyuan gradually woke up from his trance, looked at her and said with a smile: "It's getting late, you should go home, I don't have dinner here... I told your brother back then Okay, you'll make lunch."
Ximen Xiaoyu was slightly startled and said, "Um, I can't cook?"
"You don't even know how to cook, and you come here to learn the piano from me?...Don't come here again tomorrow. You can practice slowly in the City Lord's Mansion now, and come back to me when you run into trouble. "
In Li Xiuyuan's view, he was starting to practice Talismanism, which was something that Ximen Xiaoyu must not see. Not to mention Ximen Xiaoyu, not even Li Qiushui.
This is a matter of life and death, and no one can do it.
"What are you afraid of? What if I go to the city lord to order food and have them deliver it?"
She had just tasted a little sweetness, how could she be willing to give up?
"The problem is that I have nothing to teach you now that you are here. Do you want to help me stand here and sell wine? I'm afraid that if you don't sell a few jars of wine, you will have become a little drunkard."
At the moment, Li Xiuyuan just wants to send Ximen Xiaoyu back to the City Lord's Mansion so that he can live a quiet life for a few days.
"Let me think about it, how about I come back every other day? This won't disturb your brewing business?"
Ximen Xiaoyu thought that he had affected Li Xiuyuan's wine making, looked at him and said seriously.
"I'm afraid of you. Remember, I don't have food here. If you want to come over, remember to bring food? As for wine, I can give you two free drinks."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her thoughtful expression and continued: "Master, bring me in. Cultivation depends on the individual. You should know this truth, right? I don't believe that guy Huangfu Qingmei didn't teach you."
Ximen Xiaoyu replied without hesitation: "You are so trembling, you are almost as good as my mother."
He waved his hand and skipped out of the store. He came back not far away and said, "You said bad things about the princess just now. Be careful, I will go home and file a complaint!"
Li Xiuyuan stared into her eyes and said with a smile: "It's best to make her hate me to death and stop bothering me from now on, so that I can be quiet and comfortable."
After waving away the difficult guy, Li Xiuyuan closed the door of the shop when it was almost night and was going to go to the small shop by the lake for another meal. He believed that he would not meet that guy Li Qiushui again.
He wanted to take a good look at this Ding'an City so that he could turn this strange city into a scenery on his talisman in the future.
...
"You've been here almost all day today. Did you gain anything?"
Huangfu Qingmei, who was sitting in the flower hall, looked at Ximen Xiaoyu who had arrived late and asked quietly. Wang Lianhua and Zhuang Waner beside her also looked at her nervously, for fear of breaking another earth-shattering news.
"I may disappoint you..." Ximen Xiaoyu paused for a moment, and then continued: "Master said that I heard the Tao yesterday, and today I entered the Tao... He said that I have mastered myself. The piano path."
