At noon, he ate the green vegetables grown by Mr. Zhang in the back mountain and the soy sauce beef bought by Li Xiuyuan from Tianfeng City. Xiao Longer fell asleep again while holding Li Xiuyuan in his arms.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Nangong Ruyu, shook his head, and said with a smile: "Xiao Long'er will sleep with you from now on, so you can take care of her at night."
Nangong Ruyu took Xiao Long'er from his hand and carried him into the house. After walking a few steps, she turned back and said, "Give me two kitchen knives. I can bring them home to cook for my grandparents some other time."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at her and smiled: "Not long after I came back, I did hit a lot with this plowshare and kitchen knife. Since you like it, I will give you some to take back another day."
After settling little Long'er, Nangong Ruyu came out and looked at him and said, "Master, where did your fire come from?"
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he said proudly: "I got this from the mountain behind the academy... and went to an unknown place. When I first got it, I could only use it to make tea. Now I can make swords." ....Isn’t it awesome?”
A ray of light in the autumn passed through the eaves of the Taoist temple and shone diagonally on the two of them. In Nangong Ruyu's eyes, Li Xiuyuan in front of him seemed to have returned to Fangcun Mountain back then.
I couldn't help but feel a little crazy.
After resting for a while, Li Xiuyuan planned to continue looking for that trace of flaming sword intent. He looked at Nangong Ruyu and asked, "We haven't seen you for two years. How is your swordsmanship going?"
"There's no one to practice with me. I've been accompanying grandpa every day since I returned to Taoyuan. How can I have time to practice swordsmanship?"
Nangong Ruyu looked at Li Xiuyuan who walked to the sword-making platform and said calmly.
"In this case, it's late autumn. You can find some larch needles and teach little Long'er swordsmanship while letting her practice with you. Don't coddle her or make her suffer."
In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, before he sharpened the wooden sword for Xiao Long'er, he found a way to let her use his Ruoshui wooden sword first. It was rare to have someone to accompany him, so he had to hurry up.
When Nangong Ruyu heard this, she did not object and just continued to ask: "Master, please come with me back to Taoyuan in winter. Grandpa said he wants to see you..."
Li Xiuyuan, who was making fire to melt himself, couldn't help but feel a headache when he heard this.
If we were to talk about the places in Shura Tianyu that we least wanted to go to, the first one would be Taoyuan. Not to mention where Qin Qianshan and Dongfang Yu'er were, there was no good image in his mind of the aloof woman in white.
After thinking for a while, Li Xiuyuan did not reject her, but said softly: "Let's talk about it then."
At this time, he thought of Ye Zhiqiu and his party who he met in Yuqiong Pavilion in Tianxiang City, and thought to himself that if he was really that guy from the Five Realms, or Nangong Ruyu's grandfather was also his old friend.
Although he won't recognize anyone until he recovers his memory, it doesn't matter if he meets them once.
After all, Li Xiuyuan, who has been to two different heavens, knows very well the homesickness of an old man from another world.
It was as if I had gone to the wild Ding'an City, thinking about the Moon-Wang Yue Stream in the academy all the time. But when I returned to Wangyue Stream, I began to miss the small wine shop in the wild Ding'an City.
I just don’t know, when he returns to Ding’an City, will the people back then still be guarding the lake, eating a plate of soy sauce beef, drinking a small bottle of wine, and laughing at the wind, flowers, moon and snow?
The memory of No. 47 Tianjie is even more distant.
He thought that he had returned from the Shura battlefield. If he recovered his memory, he would have to find a way to return to the heaven where he was born, and wait until his cultivation reached a level where he could embark on the road to heaven...
This back and forth may take hundreds of years. Even if he returns to Tianjie, even if his master is still there, Feng Ruyu and Youruo are no longer what they were back then.
What is the most boring thing in the world? Nangong Ruyu will definitely tell her what happened before Li Xiuyuan's hand.
As long as he started striking iron, Li Xiuyuan would forget the existence of her apprentice. What's more, now there is an extra little Long'er who follows her and dotes on her, which shocks her deeply.
Fortunately, Li Xiuyuan didn't show any impatience towards her, but told her to wait patiently, which made her feel a little relieved.
In her opinion, the guy in front of her became a monster among monsters, a monster among monsters.
She just went to the Demon Realm, and when she came back, her appearance had changed. He who was supposed to be seventeen years old was actually twelve years old again, which made her curse God for being unfair.
Even his own mother wouldn't believe what she saw.
Thinking of this, he no longer had the intention to watch Li Xiuyuan forging iron tools, and turned around and walked back into the house.
At this time, it was much more comfortable to sleep with Xiao Longer than to watch over a blacksmith who looked like an idiot.
Li Xiuyuan, who was sweating heavily, didn't mind the trouble. He quenched the kitchen knives, hoes, and plowshares that were calcined into different embryos one by one, then put them on the fire again to make them red, and then kept hammering them one by one.
At the moment, he just wants to understand that glimmer of sword intent as soon as possible, so how can he be afraid of the trouble of repeating monotonous movements over and over again?
It wasn't until Old Man Zhang asked him to discuss matters after cleaning up the front hall of the Taoist temple that he stopped what he was doing.
When I looked up, I saw that it was the end of the unitary hour.
"There are only three rooms here that can accommodate people, and there are still two miscellaneous rooms that have not been cleaned up. If anyone comes to see you again, I'm afraid this Taoist temple won't be able to live in."
Old man Zhang looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked worriedly.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, looked at him and smiled and said: "Then we will invite some people from the village to help and spend some money to clean up two clean houses. Not to mention the immediate situation, it will be convenient for guests who want to stay at the Taoist temple in the future. ."
At present, the Taoist temple has no shortage of gold coins and a lot of money and supplies. As long as the place where he lives is made more comfortable, Li Xiuyuan will naturally be happy.
After all, Xiaoqing hasn't come back yet, and she doesn't know if that guy Hua Tianyu will come here with her to look for him.
He had to prepare a place to live first.
Old man Zhang was naturally happy to hear this. He would tidy up a few more houses on the mountain, not to mention others, so that during the New Year and festivals, villagers from the mountain below would come up the mountain to play and have a place to stay.
"Take care of it, this Taoist temple will be yours from now on."
Li Xiuyuan said something casually, and it felt like handing an old man a bag of gold coins.
Old Man Di felt his heart skip a beat. Although he had long known that such a day would come, he never expected that Li Xiuyuan would say it casually.
Li Xiuyuan looked up at him and sighed. He said calmly: "Asura Heaven is not my home. I will leave here one day, so while I am here, you can work harder and make further breakthroughs in your cultivation."
"I'm old, and I'm powerless." The old man said helplessly as he looked at the farm tools that had just come out of the oven.
"Are you powerless?" Li Xiuyuan withdrew the dragon's fire with one hand and said quietly: "On the road of cultivation, who is not fighting against the sky? You can put more effort on your own, and I will help you again before I leave... ..."
"Also, didn't I leave some practice skills for you? Practice more when you have nothing to do. Now you don't have to write runes all day long. You have plenty of time to practice..."
Old man Zhang's eyes lit up, he looked at him and smiled: "I will take the packed household items down the mountain early tomorrow morning, and I will find a few people to come up to help. Some materials are not available on the mountain, so they have to be carried on their backs from the village."
Li Xiuyuan didn't look back, waved his hand and walked towards the back of the house. He had been working for a day, and he wanted to wash up. His body was full of sweat, and the little dragon would be disgusted by it after a while.
When old man Zhang saw it, he walked to the kitchen happily.
He took advantage of it. What is on my mind right now is breaking through the realm.
All money and things were external to him, and he understood why Li Xiuyuan didn't care about leaving the Taoist temple to him.
If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't put my heart in the same place.
However, Old Man Zhang also understands that it is not easy for him to get all the way to now.
This was the kindness left by the old Taoist priest, allowing Li Xiuyuan to help him embark on the path of spiritual practice.
...
After dinner, Old Man Zhang went to pack his things early, saying that he was preparing to purchase materials tomorrow morning.
Li Xiuyuan, Xiao Longer and Nangong Ruyu sat under the tree, making tea and looking at the moon.
Looking at the waning moon above his head, Li Xiuyuan asked softly: "Xiao Long'er, don't you think it's fun for you and your brother to be in this mountain?"
Xiao Long'er hugged the little black rabbit and looked at him for a while, then said: "No way, aren't there many small animals in the back mountain? When Yu'er gets stronger, he will catch a little tiger to play with. "
When Nangong Ruyu heard this, she couldn't help but giggle: "Xiao Long'er, if you dare to catch the tiger cub, her mother will probably have to run down the mountain to fight you."
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh: "Some animals are difficult to raise. Not all animals are as obedient as the little black rabbit in your arms, you know."
After saying that, he handed over the tea making to Nangong Ruyu, took out the iron wood and knife, and continued to cut the unfinished wooden sword for Xiao Longer.
When Nangong Ruyu saw it, she couldn't help but ask: "Is this for little Long'er? I have a wooden sword that can be used by her?"
"Forget it, it won't take much effort on my part." Li Xiuyuan said quietly.
Seeing her confused look, he thought for a while and then said: "Little Long'er still has a long way to go. I want to cut her one that can be used for many years, so that she can use it to practice swordsmanship when she has nothing to do."
Xiao Long'er also said: "Xiao Long'er, don't be in a hurry, let brother do it slowly, it's best to wait a few more days."
Li Xiuyuan burst into laughter upon hearing this, looked at her and said softly: "Don't put your own affairs behind, use your brother's wooden sword tomorrow, and let your sister take you to practice. Don't be lazy."
If Xiao Long'er realized something, he shouted: "Brother, you are using violence, Xiao Long'er is still a child."
Nangong Ruyu raised a hand, gently stroked Xiao Long'er's hair, and said: "Xiao Long'er, be obedient. Only if you endure more hardship now can you become a strong practitioner when you grow up."
Little Longer lowered his head and said softly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Li Xiuyuan was confused for a moment, thinking that this guy was good at everything, but he wasn't happy when it came to practice. However, he will not spoil her now.
Nangong Ruyu looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Xiao Long'er, you see that the little rabbit is very obedient. You have to listen to your brother like the little rabbit. Don't be a little lazy cat, okay?"
Xiao Long'er thought for a while, touched the little black rabbit in his arms, and chuckled: "Xiao Long'er, let's try it."
Looking at the wooden sword that was gradually taking shape in his hand, Li Xiuyuan rubbed his dry hands and said, "Xiao Long'er will grow to be as big as my sister in the future. If you are not willing to endure hardship now, you will not be able to defeat this world in the future." bad guy."
Looking at the little dragon girl brought back from the abyss with a calm face, Li Xiuyuan's heart was full of doting, but he was afraid that his doting would affect her future practice.
Nangong Ruyu looked at the two of them, sighed quietly and said, "In a blink of an eye, Yu'er and Master have known each other for twenty years. Yu'er is getting older and bigger, but Master, you are getting younger and younger."
Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at her with a wry smile and said, "I can't help it. You have to wait until I recover my memory. Just like little Long'er, she is very happy following me now, but there is no guarantee that she will live her whole life."
When Xiao Long'er heard this, he narrowed his eyes and laughed: "Brother, don't you want Xiao Long'er anymore? Xiao Long'er can't leave brother."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and laughed: "Brother, how can I not want you, but you will have to go find your parents one day."
Upon hearing this, little Longer smiled with satisfaction.
