Shura Tianyu in early spring, the palace in Tianfeng City.
Queen Changsun and King Qin were sitting in Yunqi's small courtyard drinking tea. After Li Xiuyuan left, Xiaoyun planted several apricot trees in the courtyard.
After a spring rain, the apricot blossoms in the garden gradually bloomed.
A gust of wind passes by, and the faint fragrance of flowers comes to the nostrils, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Xiao Yun stood aside making tea, and the eldest grandson looked at King Qin with a smile and said, "In half a month, Qian Shan will marry Yu'er, and the palace will be lively again."
King Qin nodded and replied: "Getting married early will be regarded as a matter of friendship. From now on, let the second child calm down and practice, and wait for the opening of the Shura battlefield."
The eldest grandson smiled and said: "That woman is more anxious about this than us. After we get married, we will leave the two children to her to take care of them, so that Qianshan will not cause you any trouble here."
Thinking of Li Xiuyuan staying in the academy, Changsun sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that he might encounter Li Xiuyuan at some time and must untie this knot, otherwise this matter will become a hidden danger after all.
Back then, a boy who was only in the foundation building realm was able to win three competitions in the Silver Moon Kingdom. After all these years, I don’t know how far that guy has grown.
"I really shouldn't have let him follow me to get married back then." Empress Changsun shook her head, looked at King Qin and said, "It's been five years in the blink of an eye, and I don't know how far that child has grown in the academy. I'm really unwilling to do so. "
King Qin glanced at her and replied calmly: "It's been so long, how can you be so entangled with talent?"
The eldest grandson said: "Don't give in. This will make the academy cheaper."
King Qin was slightly startled, remembering that his son was getting married to Dongfang Yu'er right before his eyes. In the future, Tianfeng Kingdom and Taoyuan would finally become in-laws. If something big happened to that girl, could she not take action?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh. Looking at the spring breeze outside the hall, I said, "Didn't that boy say that he would go to a poor place and sit and watch the clouds rise?"
The eldest grandson glared at him and said with a smile: "You are not that boy, he is the monster!"
Xiaoyun looked at the two of them and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this tea is getting cold!"
...
On the mountain behind the academy, on the Wangyue Stream.
The spring breeze was green and looking at the moon stream, standing in front of the stone house, Li Xiuyuan felt like he was in another world. In a daze, I couldn't reach out my hand to push the door open for a long time.
Little fat Chu Feng stood behind him and said with a smile: "Are you afraid of being close to home?"
Before Li Xiuyuan could reply, the wooden door opened with a "squeak!" and a girl wearing a blue skirt came out rubbing her eyes.
"Who are you?" the three asked almost at the same time.
"Oh my god! Li Xiuyuan, can you see with your eyes?!" The girl in green came up, pinched Li Xiuyuan's face and said with a smile, "Guess who I am?"
Chu Feng was stunned, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "Who is she and why does she appear here?"
Li Xiuyuan reached out and pushed away the girl's little hand, looked back at Chu Feng and said with a smile, "Who else could it be besides that naughty eagle?"
Chu Feng was shocked. He spun the girl around twice and asked in disbelief: "Are you that stupid green eagle? How did you become a human after not seeing me for a whole winter?"
When the girl heard this, she jumped up, held his ear and cursed: "You are the stupid guy, your whole family is! Call me sister, or I won't beat you up!"
Chu Feng screamed and jumped away, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "Your whole family is a monster!"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, looked at Chu Feng and said, "Brother, please don't tell anyone about my eyes' recovery!"
"You are the little fat guy. You used to be as cute as a pig, but now you are so skinny... My sister will take you to the mountains to find delicious food and help you make up for it."
The girl looked at Chu Feng and giggled.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and went to the back of the house to get a bucket of mountain spring to wash himself. Then he returned to the front of the house to boil water and make tea. He looked at the girl and asked, "Where is the teacher?"
The little girl replied: "The teacher said you would be back soon and asked me to come in and take a look. I didn't expect that I would have to wait for three days."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled: "Has the teacher given you a name?"
When the girl heard this, she pouted and said angrily: "The teacher said that we will wait until you come back."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and thought, do I need to do this? Then he smiled and said: "You go back with the little fat man first and bring the teacher here. I will barbecue for you in the evening."
When Chu Feng heard this, he quickly asked: "Do you want to leave a monster beast for you?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and replied: "Put the two ends down. I will bake them into dried meat and take them with you to eat on the road. Just pretend you don't know anything about me when you go back. Just tell them that the task is completed, and let the teacher talk about the rest." "
From Li Xiuyuan's point of view, he didn't want to deal with a bunch of old people in the academy.
Qingying glanced at Li Xiuyuan, patted Chu Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Little fat man, go back with your sister."
After saying that, she took his hand and headed towards the academy.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two people's retreating figures, turned around and went into the kitchen to take out a wooden basin. He wanted to marinate the monster meat brought from the wild continent and roast it for Fuzi and Xiaoqing later.
After spending a while marinating the meat, he took four space rings and placed them on the table. He took out the contents and sorted them, leaving only spiritual stones and some elixirs inside.
It took half an hour to deal with all this, and then I reached out and started making tea.
Although he returned to the academy he longed for, he knew that this place would be a new beginning in his life. Soon, he, Wei Qing and Xiao Qing would have to break up with their master.
Although he didn't know Wei Qing's situation at this time, Xiao Qing was the one who trusted the master the most. Suddenly they were going to be far apart. I'm afraid this guy couldn't accept it all of a sudden.
After drinking the second course of tea, seeing that the master hadn't come over yet, Li Xiuyuan got up and went to look through the wine brewed last year to see if it had emitted the fragrance of the four seasons after aging in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
He opened the thick bamboo shed, opened a jar of wine, took out a jar, put it on the table and poured half a cup.
I put it under my nose and smelled it, and there was a smell that was different from Ding'an City. Li Xiuyuan, who didn't know how to describe it for a while, said to himself: "Is this what nostalgia feels like?"
After taking a sip, there was a familiar taste, as if I had returned to Luoxia Mountain...
It won't be long before he returns to the place he cherishes so much.
When he left, he promised Old Man Zhang that he would go back in three years. Unexpectedly, it would take more than five years. In the blink of an eye, he would be fifteen years old.
A gust of mountain wind blew by, and some flower petals blew from the mountain into the tea cup.
Looking at the petals floating in the tea cup, Li Xiuyuan murmured softly: "Today is no longer the same person as yesterday. I don't know how many flowers have fallen in my dream."
Perhaps, in less than ten years, he will be able to regain his memory.
who I am? Where do I come from? Where to go?
These questions that I have been asking myself for ten years are finally coming to light.
After changing the course of tea, the water was boiling and the aroma of the tea gradually began to rise. Suddenly, the master's voice of appreciation came from outside the stone house: "Practice is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Xiuyuan, you can maintain such a mentality, it is really commendable!"
When he looked up, it was the Master standing in front of him, followed by Qing Ying with a cute look on his face.
Li Xiuyuan respectfully placed the tea cup in front of his master, stood up, clasped his hands and saluted, "Student Li Xiuyuan is back. How is your health, teacher?"
The master picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and asked: "Have your eyes recovered? You look good, and you are so distracted that you are distracted, not bad!"
The young man jumped up and looked at him and asked: "Li Xiuyuan, where is the name you gave me?"
"I haven't decided yet, shall I call you Xiaoqing first? How about you take the teacher's last name?" Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled.
The Master laughed out loud, looked at the two of them and nodded again and said: "Xiao Qing is a good name, let's call her Xiao Qing first. My surname is Tantai, Ying'er, do you have the surname of Master or Li Xiuyuan?"
The little girl thought for a while and smiled: "It's okay. I also like Xiaoqing. Just call me Xiaoqing from now on."
Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at her and said, "Li Xiaoqing? Tantai Xiaoqing? Which one is better?"
The little girl glared at him and said, "Let's call her Tantai Xiaoqing! Li Xiaoqing is too childish."
The master held his white beard and smiled: "Okay! From now on you will be Tantai Xiaoqing, my daughter, Tantai Yueming, in the Shura Heaven."
Li Xiuyuan was shocked and speechless after hearing this simple sentence, and was speechless for a long time.
After being silent for a long time, he looked at Xiao Qing and said in a daze: "Xiao Qing, if you don't kowtow to your father three times, you will have a father in the future!"
Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and knelt down in front of her master, kowtowed three times seriously, and shouted, "My daughter, Xiaoqing, has met your father."
A few petals flew by and fell on the master's broad palm. I saw him smiling with tears in his eyes: "Good girl, wake up quickly, I am so happy today."
"It's just that dad is too poor and doesn't have any expensive gifts for you. What should I do?"
Master looked at Xiaoqing and murmured, with a disappointed look on his face.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Xiuyuan took out two rings and placed them on the table, smiling lightly.
He said calmly: "I have already prepared the gifts, one for each person. I hope the teacher and Xiaoqing will not dislike them and keep them for their practice in the future."
The Master picked up the ring and sensed it. His face trembled. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "You got this from an unknown place. Isn't it too scary?"
Even though the master has been practicing for thousands of years, the spiritual stones accumulated in his body are not even one-tenth of Li Xiuyuan's. Because he was saving and consuming at the same time, he didn't have much left.
Xiao Qing looked at it and grabbed the ring on the table with one hand. She thought about it quietly, looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled with satisfaction: "This is not bad. From now on, I will give half of your things to Xiao Qing!"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the Master and smiled: "It's a long story, I have to tell you slowly... In your opinion, I just left for one winter, but I lived in another world called the Savage Continent. for nearly three years.”
The master listened silently, vaguely feeling that his disciple's appearance was clear and calm, but he contained many things and stories that he did not know.
After picking up the cup and drinking the remaining tea, the Master looked at him and said, "I still have some time to listen to your story, but you must first tell them what the academy is concerned about."
Li Xiuyuan filled the tea cup for his wife, looked at him and replied seriously: "The hidden danger there has been eliminated, and there will be no need to send people there again for thousands of years. Can this answer satisfy them?"
"That's good! I can finally leave this world with peace of mind. Thank you, Xiuyuan!" The Master looked at him and said with great emotion. This was a major event that he had been worrying about for thousands of years.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and shook his head, and said softly: "We have solved one troublesome matter, and there is another more troublesome one."
"Tell me about it!" Master and Xiaoqing looked at him and asked in unison.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "This is a major event about the Shura battlefield. I don't want to care about it, and I don't have the power to care about it. Please tell the teacher about this matter to the dean. For this reason, I asked Chu Feng to bring back a lot of monster meat." ..."
The master was startled, looked at him and asked: "Shura battlefield? What do we need to do?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at it and said seriously: "If you don't enter Poxu, you are not allowed to step into the Shura battlefield, otherwise you will go there to die! This is not what I want to scare people!"
It took a quarter of an hour for Li Xiuyuan to briefly explain the news he had received to the two of them: "About my eyes, please don't tell the teacher for now. I want to leave the academy quietly."
In his opinion, he has fulfilled his responsibilities, and now he has to raise his head and walk his own path.
Master glanced at Xiaoqing and replied softly: "I thought it was very serious, but I didn't expect the real situation to be even more cruel!"
Xiao Qing looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "I want to go!"
