On the third day after Hua Chenyu took Xiaoqing up the mountain, when the first snow fell in Luoxia Mountain.
There were three earth-shattering thunders somewhere in the back mountain, which shocked Shura Village down the mountain and also woke up Old Man Zhang who was napping in the main hall.
The old man ran out and looked at Li Xiuyuan who was practicing his sword in the snow and asked, "Is this Miss Xiaoqing going through a tribulation?"
Li Xiuyuan did not look back, nor did he stop the nameless sword in his hand, but quietly replied: "Cook more rice tonight, and I'll make another pot of soup!"
The old man didn't ask any more questions. With these words, he felt relieved. He is already in the middle stage of Nascent Soul and feels like he is living in a dream every day.
Xiao Longer, who had changed into a red cotton-padded jacket and was sitting in the hall warming himself by the fire and eating melon seeds, looked at Hua Tianyu and asked: "Brother Hua, when Sister Xiaoqing comes back, let's go for a walk in the city. There are Delicious food.”
Hua Tianyu looked at the door and slashed with sword after sword. The tireless Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Okay, brother will take Xiao Longer in to buy food. The Chinese New Year is almost here, and we have to have a good time."
Xiao Longer then squinted his eyes and laughed: "That's more or less the same. Next time my brother gets the elixir, I'll keep it for you and some for Sister Hua."
Hua Tianyu glanced at her and continued to ask: "Xiao Long'er, your brother is so hardworking and doesn't even take a break to practice his sword in the snow. Why don't you practice?"
Xiao Long'er glanced at him and chuckled: "My brother said I was too young. Only he and my sister can do this kind of swordsmanship. My sister is too lazy and went to sleep again."
Hua Tianyu nodded and sighed: "I would like to practice this kind of swordsmanship, but he didn't tell me, and I don't know where to start?"
When Xiao Long'er heard this, he immediately became energetic: "If my brother wants to practice this kind of swordsmanship, he must first practice swordsmanship with Xiao Longer for several years. Otherwise..."
After spending a while, Xiao Longer told Hua Tianyu the method of practicing swordsmanship. Hua Tianyu trembled when he heard it, shook his head and said, "Then I don't want to learn it anymore."
"Brother also said that not many people are willing to persist in this kind of swordsmanship, not even my sister." In her opinion, no one can learn it except herself and Li Xiuyuan.
Because Li Xiuyuan had already learned it, and she had to learn it under the supervision of her brother, she also wanted to become as good as Li Xiuyuan, so naturally she was not afraid of hardship.
While he was talking, two men wearing bamboo hats and cloaks suddenly came over at the intersection of the Taoist Temple.
I saw one of them saying to Li Xiuyuan in the snow: "Little sir, there is someone down the mountain who says he is your friend... I brought him to see you."
"Brother, you are making me think so hard, wuwu!" Before the villager could finish his words, the little fat man rushed up and grabbed Li Xiuyuan's left hand.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, thinking that he could never avoid what was coming.
He took two gold coins and handed them to the villager who led the way. He smiled lightly and said, "It's snowy and the road is slippery. Be careful when going down the mountain."
The villagers took the gold coins, thanked them profusely, and went down the mountain.
"I said, little fat man, if you don't stay in the academy and practice well, why do you come to my mountain? I don't have a lot of wine and meat here, so I can't serve you!"
Li Xiuyuan put away his sword and pulled Chu Feng towards the main hall.
When they walked to the door, the two of them shook off the snowflakes on their bodies. The little fat man took off his hat and cloak and put it outside the door, then walked in while laughing.
Seeing the little fat man walking, Xiao Long'er stood up and stretched out his hand to stop him: "Who are you? This is Xiao Long'er's territory. You are not allowed to intrude!"
Li Xiuyuan pulled the little fat man to sit down, looked at Xiao Long'er and said with a smile: "Call me brother, these are your brothers and sisters. You can ask them for lucky money during the Chinese New Year!"
Xiao Longer was stunned, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "Brother, what is the New Year's money? Is it delicious?"
Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at her and laughed: "You can't eat the New Year's money, but you can go to the city to buy good things to eat. Which of your dresses and snacks don't require money to buy?"
When Xiao Longer heard this, he immediately understood. He stretched out his little hand in front of Chu Feng: "Brother, you are a newcomer. You won't go up the mountain empty-handed. You won't have dinner with your empty hands, right?"
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this. He looked at Chu Feng and introduced: "This is my sister Xiao Long'er. You have to be nice to her, otherwise there is nothing I can do about her torturing you."
When Chu Feng heard this, he laughed and took out a plate of soy sauce beef and put it on the table: "There are ten kilograms here. If it is not enough, there will be another ten kilograms. You can eat as much as you want. If it is not enough, my brother will go down the mountain to buy it."
Hua Tianyu couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Do you think my little Long'er is a pig? If you have any good things, bring them out as well."
The little fat man shook his head, pointed at Li Xiuyuan and said, "He knows why I came here. I just bought some food in Tianfeng City. How could I know that this mountain is so lively?"
As long as Xiao Longer had something to eat, he ran to the kitchen to find chopsticks: "Wait until I come back!"
Li Xiuyuan reached out and poured two cups of hot tea, looked at Chu Feng and asked: "Why are you running here in a hurry?"
"The dean and my uncle analyzed it. We can't win this battle. We're asking you to come over and help kill people!" Chu took a sip of hot tea from the cup and looked at him and said seriously.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at Hua Tianyu and smiled faintly: "I am in the state of distraction and help you go to the battlefield. You are not here to joke with me, are you?"
Hua Tianyu also looked at Chu Feng and shook his head, asking: "What happened? Why are you so anxious that you braved the wind and snow to run here from the academy..."
"You ask this guy, after he has helped half of the people, he is still not my Chu Feng's brother who shares life and death?" Chu Feng grinned and couldn't help complaining.
"If it weren't for the fact that I went somewhere with you, would I tell you this news? He hasn't moved yet, so I've informed you in advance to prepare..."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and frowned. He did not expect that Dachu would be so weak, even worse than the Tianfeng Kingdom back then. No wonder Princess Qingyue dared to march into Dachu.
When Chu Feng saw his appearance, he couldn't help but cry: "I'm not the emperor. How could I know that besides practicing all day long, he can't even govern a country? If it weren't for my uncle's analysis, I would have thought they were powerful. Where’s Da Chu!”
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "Let's talk about this later, take a sip first!"
Just as he was talking, Xiao Longer came over with bowls and chopsticks in his arms, handed them to Li Xiuyuan, and said, "Would you like to ask sister to get up and eat some meat?"
Li Xiuyuan pulled her to sit down next to him: "Let her sleep a little longer and eat at night." After saying that, he took a jar of wine brewed in the academy and poured it into the bowls of the three of them.
Xiao Long'er hugged his bowl and took a sip, then shook his head and said, "It tastes too bad! Xiao Long'er won't drink anymore."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Chu Feng and smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few years and I haven't seen any progress in you. I'm really disappointed!"
Chu Feng glared at him and said with a smile: "You are better than me, what's the point of laughing at me?"
Hua Tianyu smiled and said, "Come on, let's have a sip of the bar. With wine, meat and friends on this snowy day, this life will be considered worthwhile."
Xiao Long'er picked up a piece of beef with soy sauce, jumped down and stuffed it into the mouth of old man Zhang who was lying aside to recuperate: "Grandpa Zhang is up to eat some meat. If you don't come, Xiao Long'er will eat it all."
Old man Zhang, who was dreaming, trembled, looked at Xiao Long'er and said with a smile: "Our Xiao Long'er is still the best."
He got up and sat at the table. He also picked up a bowl and a pair of chopsticks. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Would you like to ask Miss Yu'er to come out for a drink?"
Xiao Longer shook his head: "My brother said to let her sleep and eat at night."
Li Xiuyuan looked at everyone and smiled faintly: "Practice is not easy, let's work hard." In his opinion, even if he can cut fifteen snowflakes with one sword, there is still a trace of dissatisfaction, that is, the flaming sword intention cannot be sent and received. freely.
As a result, he has no way to break through the situation and can only struggle hard in the early stages of distraction.
Chu Feng glanced at him, not knowing what he was thinking at this time, and said with a smile: "Only with wine and meat can you practice Qi Qi. Come and have a drink with us."
Old man Zhang thought about what he meant but didn't understand. He just ate a few pieces of meat and drank a bowl of wine, then waved his hand and left the table, saying that he was going to prepare what he wanted to eat in the evening.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled: "Don't bother, just boil a pot of soup and stir-fry two dishes of vegetables. I'll cook the soup!"
Old man Zhang smiled and said, "That's good!"
Xiao Long'er just ate a few pieces of soy beef and couldn't eat anymore. He sat on the side and continued to eat his own melon seeds. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Sister Ruyu has turned into a pig. She hasn't gotten up even after sleeping for so long."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the snow that was rising outside the door, wondering if Xiaoxue and Hua Chenyu would fall when they went down the mountain. After hearing what Xiao Longer said, he laughed and said, "Go and catch her, and you will have meat to eat."
On the other hand, the little fat man was too drunk. He hadn't drunk the wine brewed by Li Xiuyuan for a long time. After three bowls in a row, he couldn't drink anymore. He took Hua Tianyu's hand and said with a smile: "Brother Hua, help me to have a rest... I've been on the road." , I never took a serious rest..."
Hua Tianyu looked at Li Xiuyuan and laughed: "I'm going to take a break. Call me again during dinner in the evening."
Xiao Long'er shook his head and said with a smile: "Sister Yu'er, then sleep a little longer. Xiao Long'er will eat melon seeds with my brother here."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, took a piece of meat and fed it to her, then walked to the altar table and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, poured a few drops of wine into the inkstone, and gently rubbed the ink.
Since some things cannot be avoided, we have to face them one by one.
This was the cause and effect of choosing the little fat man as his friend in the first place, the cause of the Weapon Refining Pavilion and the unknown land, and now he was here to settle the consequences of that day.
Although he temporarily forgot about Buddhism when he came to the Shura Realm, the things that have been integrated into the memory of flesh and blood will not leave because of his amnesia.
Xiao Long'er naturally ignored Li Xiudi who was sitting beside him. For her, it was enough for her to just stay with Li Xiuyuan quietly and have something to eat and play with.
"Xiao Hei, come and eat a melon seed!" Long'er, who had peeled a few melon seeds, couldn't stop and reached out to feed the little black rabbit hiding under her feet. In addition to her brother on the mountain, the little black rabbit is also her friend.
Under Li Xiuyuan's repeated guidance, Xiao Longer finally gave up the idea of going to the back mountain to catch a little tiger or wolf as a pet, and raised a little black rabbit with peace of mind.
Even the preserved peaches that Li Xiuyuan gave her occasionally would be fed to the little black rabbit.
Li Xiuyuan smiled from time to time and said, "Long'er, will you turn this little black rabbit into a monster?"
Who knew that Xiao Long'er squinted his eyes and smiled: "If Xiao Hei turns into a monster, my brother will help her transform and become Xiao Long'er's sister in the future."
Li Xiuyuan was startled, thinking, what else could he say?
But in the blink of an eye, I thought that the little green eagle I met could transform, let alone a black rabbit that followed Xiao Longer every day?
In less than a quarter of an hour, a pool of ink had been rubbed. Li Xiuyuan thought about how to help Chu Feng, and for a moment he forgot the existence of Xiao Longer and the passage of time.
"The combat power is too weak, so use weapons to make up for it." He sighed softly, and the wolf hair in his hand finally made a thick stroke on the light yellow rice paper.
As a result, because of Li Xiuyuan's forgetfulness and because of the life-and-death relationship between him and Chu Feng, the war between Da Chu and the Silver Moon Kingdom for several years finally burned to the Luoxia Mountain thousands of miles away.
Even the little fat Chu Feng didn't believe it, because his helpless trip would change the final outcome of the battle between Da Chu and the Silver Moon Kingdom.
