The arrival of Nangong Ruyu did not affect Li Xiuyuan's practice, but it made Old Man Zhang feel more relaxed. Because Li Yun and Nangong Ruyu were here, it was not his turn to worry about cooking.
At the moment, he is focused on getting into the runes, hoping to comprehend a few runes as soon as possible.
Li Xiuyuan still got up early and went down the mountain to practice epee for an hour. When he returned to the Taoist temple, it was past half-hour, just in time for breakfast.
He can't help Xiaoqing with his practice, while Li Yun is keeping an eye on Nangong Ruyuye's practice.
For a moment, Li Xiuyuan seemed to be the most at ease.
When he was bored in his spare time, Li Xiuyuan would take out his wooden sword and polish it like water while pondering the flaming sword intention that could only be encountered but not sought.
"Master, when did you make this wooden sword?" Nangong Ruyu looked at the wooden sword in his hand and suddenly asked with interest.
Li Ye smiled and said: "This is a piece of iron wood that the teacher gave me before he left. I spent some time polishing it."
Nangong Ruyu looked at him and said, "Master, do you know that you whittled a purple bamboo sword on Tianshan Mountain and practiced with it for more than ten years, and then gave it to Yu'er."
"Do I have it? Where's the sword? Show it to me." Li Xiuyuan suddenly became interested.
"I kept it as a treasure at Taoyuan's house." Nangong Ruyu murmured: "It's just that the bamboo sword is less skillful and thin. It is said that the master used that bamboo sword to learn Zhanxue."
After saying that, Nangong Ruyu took out his sword and handed it to Li Xiuyuan with both hands.
Looking at him, he said seriously: "This scabbard was made by the master who killed a distracting beast on Tianshan Mountain. This sword was made by Yu'er's master Ouyang Dongli. The name of this sword is still Master, can you help Yu?" My son got up."
After saying this, he pointed to the two words on the sword and murmured.
Li Xiuyuan was startled when he heard this. He took the long sword with blue light and gently stroked the two characters on the hilt.
Said: "Zhanxue! The name of the sword is Zhanxue, it feels so familiar."
If he takes out his Prajna Sword at this time, he will find that the materials of the two swords are almost the same, and the casting process is almost the same.
"Master, your sword-making skills are still learned from your master, but your master has also ascended to another heaven."
Nangong Ruyu looked at him and couldn't help but said: "Otherwise, if Yu'er brings Master to see you, I'm afraid he will ask you for a drink, and maybe even beat you up."
"Why?" Li Xiuyuan looked at her and murmured.
"Master, because you have lost your memory now, you will definitely not be able to recognize the master. And the master has a bad temper. He might beat someone up when he gets angry."
Thinking of Ouyang Dongli's carefree appearance, Nangong Ruyu felt as if it was yesterday. "Before his ascension, Master was with Yu'er, Master and Sister Wutong."
To her disappointment... Li Xiuyuan still just nodded.
Looking at the word Ruoshui on the wooden sword, Nangong Ruyu was stunned. After looking at it for a long time, she said softly: "Master, you also had an iron sword called Ruoshui..."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at her and asked: "Ruoshui, such a familiar name... I just named this sword randomly. I named it the night before the teacher left. I also named the iron sword I used before." It’s called: reincarnation.”
"Ruoshui? Reincarnation... Well, I'd better wait until Master you recover your memory."
Nangong Ruyu's heart is getting more and more confused. She is already sure that Li Xiuyuan in front of her is her former master Li Ye, but now this guy's memory is confused, and no matter how much he talks, he can't wake it up.
"Take a longer view." Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "What I want to tell you is that the Shura Heaven Realm looks very big, but it is actually very small. There are many different heaven realms outside. Only by practicing well can you have a chance. To see more of the world.”
Nangong picked up the book Xiaoqing was reading on the table and said softly: "This is the book that my master taught Yu'er to read back then. At that time, the two masters of Xuantianguan had not yet ascended... Sigh !Forget it, let’s talk about it later.”
After Nangong Ruyu said this, Li Xiuyuan instantly relaxed a lot, stretched out, and planned to start copying scriptures.
After Nangong Ruyu and Li Yun arrived, it was inconvenient for him to do some things, so he had to copy scriptures when he had nothing to do, as a way of cultivating his mind and character.
Nangong Ruyu looked at him and blinked, and asked curiously: "Master, what are you copying? Why haven't I seen it before?"
""The Tao Te Ching"" Li Xiuyuan said while grinding the ink: "Many years ago, in Tianfeng Kingdom City... Queen Changsun showed it to me."
Nangong Ruyu chuckled and said, "It turns out to be her. My mother took me to meet her several times. The courtyard where he often stays now is said to be where the master lived back then."
"That's the past, and we can't go back now." Li Xiuyuan naturally had a relationship with his eldest grandson. Because of Qin Qianshan, the two of them could only do this.
Nangong Ruyu glanced at him and said softly: "She raised a son who failed to live up to expectations, but she put the responsibility on the master. It is really outrageous."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at her and said: "She is right about helping relatives and not helping. It's just that our fate has ended, so that's fine, it saves worry."
Nangong Ruyu shook her head and said: "I don't know what my mother was thinking. Did she sell her senior sister just to find a ally on the Shura battlefield? Oh my, this matter is too complicated. Only the devil knows."
While they were talking, Xiao Qing ran over and took Nangong Ruyu's hand and walked back up the mountain. As she walked, she said, "Sister, let's go to the mountains to find food. Li Xiuyuan said that after this summer, there are wild fruits in the mountains that are about to mature."
A smile flashed across Nangong Ruyu's face, she looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Master, Xiaoqing and I are going to have some fun. You stay here alone until we bring back delicious food."
Li Yun, who was lying on a chair in the main hall, also got up and said with a smile: "Yu'er is waiting for me, I want to go too. It's too boring here, let's go and have fun together..."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and did not reply. He just sat at the table and quietly polished his ink, thinking about whether he wanted to copy a copy of the Tao Te Ching and give it to this weird disciple.
Xiao Qing's voice came from behind the hall: "Li Xiuyuan is waiting for us to come back. I want to eat barbecue!"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, thinking that if he wanted to eat, he would just kill the beast and come back.
...
It was just after noon, and Xiaoqing and the others had just left for an hour.
An injured villager rushed into the Taoist temple and exclaimed: "Old man Zhang, something big happened in the village. Something big happened to your family. Many people died in the village."
Old man Zhang, who was writing talismans in the temple, ran out with a roar, looked at the villagers running up the mountain and asked: "Wang Xiaoer, what happened in the village, what happened in my family?"
At this time, Li Xiuyuan wrote a passage from the De Jing:
When the road rushes and is used, it may not be full, and the abyss is like the origin of all things. Defeat its sharpness, dissolve its confusion, harmonize its light, and become the same as its dust.
The visitor suddenly fell into the arms of old man Zhang, hugged him and cried: "Dozens of villagers have died in the village, and everyone in your family is dead. They are the defenders of Tianfeng City. There are several Thousands of people..."
"He came to see the little Taoist priest. The villagers refused to say that they were talking about killing people...killed many people, and the village was full of blood...Finally someone couldn't stand it anymore and told what happened on the mountain. , they have already come up the mountain..."
This villager named Wang Er told intermittently what happened at the foot of the mountain.
When Old Man Zhang heard this, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
He shouted: "My family, my grandchildren..." Then his eyes darkened and he fell straight back.
Before he fell to the ground, Li Xiuyuan flew over, gently supported old man Zhang, and carried him back to the recliner in the hall.
Looking at Wang Xiaoer with blood stains on his face, Li Xiuyuan asked in a deep voice: "Did you see clearly that they are all defenders of Tianfeng City?"
Wang Xiaoer held Li Xiuyuan's hand and cried: "Yes, they said they wanted to avenge you for Qingfeng Gang, and they have already come up the mountain to kill you."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
In a single thought, he did not go to Tianfeng City to pursue the protector behind the Eagle King, which resulted in the destruction of the villagers at the foot of the mountain.
After coming back to his senses, Li Xiuyuan took Wang Xiaoer's hand and sat down in the hall, poured him a glass of water, and said quietly: "No matter what happens, you won't be leaving the hall for a while. I am here, don't be afraid. "
Wang Xiaoer pulled his sleeves and cried: "You must avenge the elderly and children in the village, even the three-year-old children next to them, they are devils!"
Li Xiuyuan patted his arm gently and said, "Don't worry, I will avenge you!"
After saying that, he turned around and left the room, put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of the table, sheathed the wooden sword Ruoshui, took out the iron sword Samsara placed in the sword case, and then walked step by step outside the Taoist temple.
...
At the same moment, the small village at the foot of Luoxia Mountain was filled with smoke, and villagers, old people, and children lying on the ground could be seen everywhere.
Old Man Zhang's house was in flames, and his son, wife, and two grandchildren all fell to the swords of Li Qingfeng and other Tianfeng City defenders.
The small mountain village turned into a hell on earth in just the blink of an eye.
With an angry look on his face, Li Qingfeng was unwilling to let his wealth be snatched away by the little Taoist priests on the mountain. He personally ordered three thousand troops and left Tianfeng City in the name of suppressing bandits, heading all the way to Luoxia Mountain.
After killing dozens of villagers and learning that the young Taoist priest was at the Taoist temple on the mountain, Li Qingfeng led three thousand defenders with murderous intent and climbed up Luoxia Mountain to go to the Yunqi Taoist temple.
Standing at the entrance of the Taoist temple, facing the long snake-like defenders of Tianfeng City, Li Xiuyuan had anger burning in his eyes.
He did not expect that these defenders would not hesitate to attack innocent villagers for their own selfish purposes, even three-year-old children. This was already more cruel than bandits.
I once destroyed an army of 40,000 with one sword!
I once chopped down the Ding'an city gate with one sword!
I once killed the bandit Fei Ying in Qingfeng Gang!
Would I still be afraid of a mere defender of the Tianfeng Kingdom?
Standing at the intersection of Taoist temples, Li Xiuyuan, with his black shirt fluttering, looked like Shura coming to this world, wanting to destroy all evil in the world. He quietly looked at Li Qingfeng and others who rushed up the mountain.
I saw that the people were coming very quickly. In less than half an hour, dozens of soldiers had already blocked the intersection of the Taoist temple.
"Send the order and have the army stand by where it is!"
Looking at Li Xiuyuan standing at the intersection without saying a word, Li Qingfeng raised his hand and gave instructions to the guards beside him.
"Send the order, the army will be on standby!"
"Send the order, the army will be on standby!"
Voices came out one after another, and the winding mountain road was instantly filled with three thousand troops. For a time, Luoxia Mountain turned into an iron bucket, and not even a fly could fly out.
"Boy, tell me your name and don't block the way of the army!"
The deputy general behind Qingfeng Li, a six-foot-tall man with a beard, yelled at Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the middle-aged men in armor in front of him and asked coldly: "Who is the leader? You are here for the bandits in Qingfeng Gang. Do you want to avenge the bandits?"
Li Qingfeng was stunned, looked at Li Xiuyuan and angrily said: "I am Li Qingfeng, the security officer of Tianfeng City. Yes, Qingfeng Hill is my territory. You come to Tianfeng Kingdom and don't even inquire about it. Even my people, Li Qingfeng, dare to move?"
The error-free chapters of "Daoduan Shura" will continue to be updated.
