Li Xiuyuan looked at her and laughed: "How about I transfer this honor to Sister Yu?"
"I'm not that perverted, okay?" Feng Ruyu looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "If I had such good skills as you, I would just hide in the building and appreciate myself."
Li Xiuyuan knew he couldn't defeat her, so he could only reply calmly: "I only sold two paintings of calligraphy and a few jars of wine, so I have to work hard to be a teacher. No matter how you calculate it, it will be a loss."
Youruo laughed out loud when she heard this, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Why don't you come to Tianxiang Academy to practice in the future? I will introduce you to it without taking the exam."
Lan Xun'er glanced at Youruo and said seriously to Li Xiuyuan: "Youruo is right, you can come to the academy to practice after you break through to Yuandan."
"Why should I go? I already have a master. I like Tianyu City, Tianjie, and being a small shopkeeper selling wine."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two and laughed.
When Feng Ruyu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li Xiuyuan again.
He looked at the two girls with a smile and said, "This guy's name is Li Xiuyuan. If you want to drink in the future, just come over."
Xun'er gently flicked his sleeves, and there was a small brocade bag on the table.
"Here is the money I paid for buying calligraphy, painting and spiritual wine. I also paid for Youruo. Count them."
After listening to Feng Ruyu's words, Xun'er felt very happy. She thought that when she was bored in the academy, she would come and live in Tianyu City for a few days.
It is a pleasant thing to drink wine, appreciate calligraphy and painting, and listen to Li Xiuyuan play a song from time to time.
Li Xiuyuan picked up the brocade bag on the table and put it away without looking at it. He looked at her and said with a warm smile: "Since you like it here, just buy a few more jars of wine in the future."
Feng Ruyu looked at Li Xiuyuan's appearance, chuckled and shook his head and said, "Would you like to open it and see if the quantity is correct? What if it is missing?"
While they were talking, the waiter from Heaven and Earth at the door came in carrying two food boxes and greeted Feng Ruyu.
Feng Ruyu asked him a few questions, then picked up a food box and handed it to Li Xiuyuan, smiling: "Hurry and send it to your master, I'll wait for you to come out for a drink."
...
Starting from that night, Lan Xun'er and You Ruo officially moved into the small courtyard at No. 47 Tianjie.
Just because Mo Wuxin said something to him, Li Xiuyuan gave up his intention of rejecting the two women.
It turns out that the Endless Flame Territory he is going to later is a passing place under the jurisdiction of Tianxiang Academy. All practitioners who enter must obtain permission from Tianxiang Academy.
And Wen Youruo, who was about to learn the piano from him, was the granddaughter of the dean of Tianxiang Academy and the little princess of Tianxiang Academy.
Li Xiuyuan was worried that he couldn't find a way to enter the Endless Fire Realm, but he didn't expect that because of his unintentional actions, he got involved with Tianxiang Academy.
The old man looked at him and smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to open a small bookstore and sell wine, but you have met many opportunities, not bad!"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the old man and asked, "Master, don't you think they will disturb you if they come in?"
The old man shook his head and said seriously: "Having more people living with you will be good for tempering your state of mind. Besides, as long as I don't tell them, how will they know our secrets?"
Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied: "Feng Ruyu said that we have to look for the medicine again. Master, don't be impatient."
"This elixir that nourishes the soul is the most rare. I don't have to worry about it. Just let her help you find it slowly. I'm not in a hurry." The old man looked at him and replied calmly.
"It's all because of the fault of the disciples, who are unable to share the worries of the master."
What Li Xiuyuan was thinking about was that his failure was due to absorbing the soul that had penetrated his master. This was weird.
The old man looked at him and said seriously: "If it weren't for you, Master would have become a monster's puppet. Do you want me to live a life worse than death?"
Li Xiuyuan quickly shook his head and replied quietly: "Let's stop this matter. From this moment on, the disciple's soul will be damaged. Master, please remember this."
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "Yes, my precious apprentice broke through the realm too quickly. His soul was damaged during the catastrophe, and he needs spiritual medicine to heal him."
...
There was no need to worry about a place to live in the small courtyard. Lan Xun'er and You Ruo entered the backyard, greeted the old man, and then happily ran to Tian Street to buy daily necessities.
Li Xiuyuan and Feng Ruyu sat in the shop making tea and chatting.
Feng Ruyu looked at Li Xiuyuan who was sitting quietly making tea, and sighed softly: "Why didn't you ascend earlier, why wasn't I born later..."
Li Xiuyuan, who was holding a teapot and pouring water, shook his hand and almost spilled the hot tea inside.
After silently pouring two cups of hot tea, Li Xiuyuan picked up one cup and said softly: "When I was down there, I met a sister who would dry the autumn osmanthus flowers in the shade and put them together with the spiritual tea."
"The taste must be very good. It seems that I will have to try it myself in the fall of this year."
Feng Ruyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Unexpectedly, this guy changed the subject without saying a word.
"Later, I also tried it. Boiling the shade-dried osmanthus and spiritual tea together, it really had a different flavor... It's a pity that spring suddenly took off today, otherwise I should have made it with shade-dried apricot flowers this time. Great tea."
Li Xiuyuan was filled with emotion when he thought of the apricot blossoms he planted on Luoxia Mountain. After using fertilizer made by three thousand soldiers, I wonder if the apricot flowers that will bloom next year will be as bright as blood?
"Is it possible that you planted apricot flowers in the lower realm? No wonder you call yourself a person from Luoxia Mountain..."
Feng Ruyu looked like he suddenly realized something.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and smiled: "That's where I grew up, and it's also my home... I planted thousands of apricot flowers last spring and used fertilizer made from 3,000 heads..."
Quietly, Li Xiuyuan told Feng Ruyu what happened on Luoxia Mountain.
"My life is very important, and I am afraid of death...so anyone who wants my life must think about leaving his own life first. In fact, I am not a good person."
Li Xiuyuan later thought about it. Although he was innocent, there were probably more innocent people among the three thousand soldiers.
It's just that when I'm angry, how can I be the opponent of three thousand troops?
When Feng Ruyu heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth.
She thought Li Ye was already bloody during the attack in the rain on a spring night, but who knew that it was not as good as the one percent he killed with a wave of his hand in the lower world.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Li Xiuwu faintly and said, "Give me a piece of calligraphy. From now on, when you are not around, my sister will think that she has seen you."
Li Xiuyuan sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that he had promised not to form a fate with others, but he didn't expect that he would do it again and again when he came to Tianyu City, and he would be trapped in the quagmire.
Seeing Feng Ruyu's expectant expression, she had no choice but to shake her head and move some things on the table. Feng Ruyu also helped wipe away the tea stains on the table.
He took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the bookshelf, then poured a few drops of the unfinished spiritual wine into the inkstone, then stretched out his hand and began to slowly rub the ink.
Feng Ruyu looked at his actions and couldn't help but be startled, and asked softly: "Brother, why do you like to use wine to grind ink every time I see you writing?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her strange appearance and couldn't help but smile and replied: "Firstly, it is easy to use, and secondly, after the word is written, it has the smell of sword and sprinkle. After a long time, it should have a taste of time... .”
Feng Ruyu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. It takes hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation to have such a state of mind?
For a moment, he looked at Li Xiuyuan silently and was speechless.
Grinding a bunch of pine ink with spirit wine, Li Xiuyuan lifted up the wolf hair and was about to write on the paper. Unexpectedly, Feng Ruyu stopped his hand, took out a square of silk and spread it carefully on the paper.
"Just write it here so I can carry it easily in the future." Feng Ruyu whispered, like the sound of nature.
Li Xiuyuan turned to look at her, and the hand holding the wolf hair couldn't help but tremble a little. He took a deep breath quietly, and then used a drop of pine ink on the tip of his pen to write on the silk like a sword.
You were born before I was born, but I was born before you were old.
You hate that I was born late, and I hate that you were born early.
Buyers are depressed, sellers are uneasy.
The poem is written on silk and will be read by the seller.
After finishing the stroke, he did not take out the seal, but just used the last few drops of pine ink to inscribe the following:
There are flowers in the sunset, and the streets in the sky are like jade.
Feng Ruyu, who was standing aside, kept thinking about what kind of words the young man in front of him would write for himself. Unexpectedly, after reading it, he felt like an arrow had been shot in his chest, and his heart ached. He held the table with one hand and was speechless for a long time.
After a while, he murmured:
You were born before I was born, but I was born before you were old.
...
There are flowers in the sunset, and the streets in the sky are like jade.
...
For a moment, a pair of willow-browed phoenix eyes were filled with mist, and he couldn't help but whisper softly: "Brother, you made me cry."
...
Three glasses of wine and two glasses of light wine, how can you say that late spring is coming?
After brewing the Ten Thousand Years Spiritual Liquor from Yuqiong Pavilion to earn spiritual stones, Li Xiuyuan spent some time brewing about ten jars of spiritual wine in the yard, until he couldn't even fit it in the corridor, and then he stopped.
Feng Ruyu had not come over to drink on the 47th for several days since we parted that day. She only told Li Xiuyuan through voice transmission that there was no news about the elixir yet.
A group of students from Tianxiang Academy have completed their training and have returned to the academy with the leader. Only Lan Xun'er and You Ruo were left in No. 47, named: Xueqin.
Lan Xun'er didn't seem to be very interested in the guqin. After practicing with You Ruo a few times, she either slept in the house or went to Yuqiong Pavilion to chat with Feng Ruyu.
Only You Ruo fell into obsessive hard training.
Even Mo Wuxin shook his head and sighed after looking at it, thinking that it won't be long before another monster from Tianxiang Academy appears.
Since returning from the foreign battlefield, the old man no longer went to the city lord's mansion to be busy, but took leave to rest in the small courtyard No. 47. Every day, I would either listen to Youruo and practice the piano for a while, or go for a walk on Tianjie Street with my hands behind my back.
Only Li Xiuyuan's rules have not changed. He spends half a day practicing and half a day working as a shopkeeper.
Only Youruo is the happiest. If you encounter problems in practice that you don’t understand, you can ask the old man lying under the eaves for advice. When you want to learn the piano, there is a little shopkeeper who knows how to make wine to teach you.
This kind of life has never happened in Tianxiang Academy, where there are only cold rules.
On the day of the Beginning of Summer, it rained on Tianjie.
Just after Chen hour, You Ruo was sitting under the eaves outside the living room practicing the piano.
Sitting in front of the guqin with a dignified expression, Youruo patiently listened to Li Xiuyuan explain some knowledge of qin Dao to her.
"It's not a big deal to learn the piano...Fingering, gestures, musical notation, music, and theory. As long as you learn and practice more, it will be like practicing swordsmanship in the academy. The more you practice, the more you will become proficient. ..."
You Ruo learned very quickly. Li Xiuyuan only spent three days in total explaining the basic knowledge of Qin Dao to her, and spent another two days teaching her how to play the keys and fingerings...
From the fifth day onwards, Youruo started to try to pluck the strings, bit by bit, from raw to mature.
"Playing the piano is not practicing swordsmanship, no, it is also practicing swordsmanship! What is important is that you can send and receive it freely and not be too stiff."
"Why is it said that the sound of the piano is like flowing water? The key is that your state of mind is like water, and when you move it between your fingers, it can be like clouds and flowing water."
"It's too soft, you have to learn to be soft yet strong..."
Sitting aside, Li Xiuyuan explained it to her over and over again, promptly correcting any minor mistakes You Ruo was about to make.
The old man with half-closed eyes smiled, even his own disciples were already learning from him.
It's incredible.
