After reading the scriptures quietly for half an hour, the two women completed their respective breakthroughs.
The vision stunned pioneer Liu Changqing, who was guarding the edge of the woods fifty feet away. He never thought that his own coach would come to drink tea with the enemy's coach before the battle.
It doesn't matter if they drink tea, the two princesses are actually breaking out right under the eyes of the enemy coach.
Seeing Li Xiuyuan holding the scriptures calmly and calmly, Liu Changqing was stunned and didn't know what to say.
He waved his hand and said to a group of soldiers behind him: "Everyone, please find a place to sleep. Her Highness the Princess may not leave for two hours."
Chu Feng led a group of soldiers to guard the trench one mile away from Li Xiuyuan. He was speechless when he saw the spirit storm surrounding the bamboo shed.
He looked at the soldiers around him and said, "Brothers, please go and rest under the tree. There will be no fighting today."
Qingyue and Qin Miaoyu, who had finished breaking through and settled their respective moods, put away the futon on the ground and sat back at the table.
Looking at the newly placed spiritual tea on the table that was still steaming with steam, Qingyue couldn't help but sigh softly.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan who put down the scripture, he asked: "Did I owe you something in my previous life, or did you owe me something in my previous life? So you want to collect and repay your debt from me in this life?"
"Princess is such an interesting person." Li Xiuyuan picked up the teacup on the table, put it to his mouth and blew lightly.
"Your Highness, this guy is a monster, ignore him." Before Li Xiuyuan could reply, Qin Miaoyu glared at Li Xiuyuan and took a sip of the spiritual tea on the table.
This was tea that could lead to enlightenment and breakthrough, so she naturally didn't want to miss it.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Qin Miaoyu, shook his head, drank the hot tea in the cup in one gulp, and then said to himself: "It's such a waste to drink like this."
Qingyue, who was sitting at the table, covered her mouth and chuckled.
He turned to look at Qin Miaoyu and said with a smile: "Although Miaoyu's spiritual tea is good, the more you drink it, the better the effect will be. Fortunately, you have learned a lot of Buddhism from my master, why don't you understand the principle of enlightenment? "
After speaking, he looked at Li Xiuyuan seriously and asked.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her, thought for a while and replied: "Tea is like life. If you get too involved in drama, it can also be poisonous." After that, he added hot tea to the cups of the three of them.
Qin Miaoyu picked up the tea cup and was about to drink again. After hearing these words, she couldn't help but look at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "How do you say this?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly, looked at her and said, "I haven't seen Princess Miaoyu for many years, but I didn't expect that the princess's style is still the same. For some reasons... I should be thirteen years old now..."
Qin Miaoyu was stunned, looked at him and said in a daze: "I was almost ten years old when I met you. Ten years have passed...where have those seven years gone?"
Princess Qingyue looked at Li Xiuyuan with her wonderful eyes and asked, "Yes, where did your seven years go? Where were you at the gate of the academy back then?"
"If I say I don't know, you won't believe it... It's just that the reality is cruel. I really don't know where those years went. It's like a voice in my mind is telling me, who I am......"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and explained calmly: "It's like the three flavors in tea, which many people don't know. For example, if you drank the tea I brewed today and tasted the sweet aftertaste, you will remember this feeling."
Qingyue looked at him and nodded, agreeing with Li Xiuyuan's statement.
"After a while, you drink tea made by others and taste other flavors, and you will unconsciously compare them. Later...after drinking three different teas, you will feel Don’t you subconsciously think that a certain tea is your favorite?”
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two people in front of him and said with a smile.
"Then what if you can't drink it in the future? Will you find a way to get the tea leaves and brewing method of this tea? What will happen if you can't get it..."
Hearing Li Xiuyuan's explanation, the two women couldn't help but lower their heads in thought.
"The explanation in the Buddhist scriptures is that the eight sufferings of life are not being able to ask for something, meeting resentment and resentment, and being separated from love. After not being able to ask for something, it is followed by not getting it, and then it is being reluctant to let go. This is the saying that tea is like life."
When Li Xiuyuan said this, he did not look at the two of them. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the slowly moving white clouds above his head through the gap in the bamboo shed.
"Unable to ask for, meet with resentment, love to leave... Well said, I admire you very much. I drank a lot of tea, but I never thought about the truth. Listening to you today is better than ten years of reading."
Princess Qingyue gently put down her teacup, clapped her hands in admiration.
Qin Miaoyu opened her wonderful eyes and looked at the young man from Luoxia Mountain in front of her, secretly surprised.
In Qingyue's view, these principles were principles that her master, Monk Yuan Zhen, had never taught her. When she thought about it carefully, she realized that tea is like life, a truth that cannot be obtained.
Li Xiuyuan picked up the teapot and filled the two with hot tea, then raised his head and pointed at the white clouds in the sky.
She asked calmly: "Your Highness, look at the white clouds in the sky, why are they moving?"
Hearing this, the two girls looked up together.
"Is the wind moving?" Qin Miaoyu blurted out after thinking about it.
"It's the white clouds that are moving!" Princess Qingyue frowned and replied softly.
"No! It's both the wind and the white clouds that are moving!" Qin Miaoyu thought for a moment before answering. He expected that Li Xiuyuan's question was not that simple.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the different expressions of the two people, was silent for a moment, sighed softly and said: "It's not the wind or the clouds that are moving, it's your hearts that are moving."
"Heartbeat?" they both asked.
"What's the explanation for this?" Even Princess Qingyue, who was known as the number one person in the Silver Moon Kingdom, couldn't help but frown.
"It's obviously the wind that's blowing the white clouds!" Qin Miaoyu shouted unwillingly.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them, shook his head, and smiled lightly.
"All laws are based on the mind, and everything is created based on the mind. Mountains, rivers, land, space, and the universe are nothing more than images of the true nature of the heart. Winds and clouds are also images of the heart. Therefore, the movement and stillness of the wind and clouds are all the random movements of the heart."
Looking at the confused expressions of the two, Li Xiuyuan continued: "For example, are there ordinary people in the Silver Moon Kingdom? Are there ordinary people in the Imperial City of Dachu?"
"Is this war what the people of Silver Moon Kingdom want, or what Her Highness the Princess wants? Or is it what some powerful people in Silver Moon Kingdom want?"
"The Buddha said that the most difficult thing is to think about something. When ordinary people are worried about something, and when they have thoughts, they want to seek a result."
"But I don't know that for the sake of one person's thoughts, countless sentient beings have committed karma and murder, and how many families have been displaced because of this. And one day, the crimes committed are so heavy that the gods are angry and people are resentful, and there is no good ending."
Li Xiuyuan finished speaking softly and sighed again.
After hearing what Li Xiuyuan said, Qin Miaoyu slammed the table and said, "According to you, our princess is at fault?"
Princess Qingyue looked at her displeased, frowned and said, "Don't be angry? Let him finish what he said."
Qin Miaoyu glanced at Qingyue and said nothing. Instead, she turned her head and continued to look at Li Xiuyuan, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Chun Miaoyu's angry look, shook his head, and reached out to add two pieces of charcoal to the stove.
He said calmly: "The so-called judgments of right and wrong, good and evil, etc. in the world do not have absolute standards, but vary or even vary greatly depending on the time and place and the differences in subjective ideas. Everything is caused by causes and conditions. There is no right or wrong in this world, only whether you are willing or not!”
"Before your Silver Moon Kingdom is willing to launch this war, it will not ask all the people if they are willing, nor will it ask the people and soldiers of Da Chu if they are willing..."
"Today, because of some people's thoughts, they raised the butcher's knife against innocent people. It seemed that they were attacking cities and plundering territory and killing countless enemies along the way."
"But have you ever thought about it, if one day Da Chu's army counterattacks and invades Yinyue's territory, so that the people of Yinyue Kingdom will be displaced and the people will be in dire straits."
"At that time, who will be responsible for this cause and effect? You must know that whether it is the soldiers of the Silver Moon Kingdom or the soldiers of Da Chu, they are all common people and all living beings when they take off their shirts!"
"To take a step back, even if the Silver Moon army breaks through the decisive battle and starts killing again, it will inevitably arouse greater resistance in the Kingdom of Da Chu. It must be noted that wherever the size of Da Chu is placed, the population of the two sides will not be much different. "
"Even if the Silver Moon army occupies half of Da Chu, if Da Chu does not hesitate to lose its country and merge with the Tianfeng Kingdom, after the armies of both sides merge, can the Silver Moon Kingdom resist?"
After taking a sip of tea, Li Xiuyuan did not stop and continued: "It should be noted that both kingdoms still have sects that are not born in the world. When the world is peaceful, the sects only recruit disciples and will not interfere with the secular affairs of the dynasties in the world."
"But if the war breaks out all over the land and the people are in dire straits, even the practicing sects will sacrifice their own survival and join the world. At what point will the King of Silver Moon face this?"
"Don't tell me that the monks of the Silver Moon Kingdom can easily destroy many sects in Da Chu! Both Da Chu and Yinyue have disciples practicing in the academies. How do you want them to make a decision?"
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh deeply as he thought about the battle he was about to face.
Qin Miaoyu couldn't help but frown when she saw Li Xiuyuan sighing.
He said softly: "This war has already started. Now let's talk about these principles... There is no reason to argue in the war. Now that the arrow has left the string, it is not easy to take it back."
Qingyue also nodded and said: "We have occupied Black Salt City. How is it possible that you want us to withdraw?"
"So, I originally wanted to come and discuss a business deal with the princess, but now it seems that this war is inevitable."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with infinite regret.
"Are you afraid that you can't defeat our Silver Moon Army and want to surrender?" Qin Miaoyu chuckled.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her quietly and said softly: "Princess Miaoyu, do you want to give it a try?"
Qin Miaoyu was stunned, looked at Li Xiuyuan and laughed, showing a feeling of contempt without caring. "Little Taoist priest, do you want to challenge your sister? Can you let me see your weapons?"
Qingyue's eyes widened, she looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "Li Xiuyuan, this guy deserves a beating, you give him a good beating for me!"
Li Xiuyuan was not angry, he just lowered his eyes and looked at the tea cup on the table.
He said quietly: "My weapons are not for fighting, they are for killing. Everyone who has seen them has died. Are you sure you want to see it, princess?"
After saying these words, he released a trace of Ruoshui sword power, and instantly a cold air rose in the bamboo shed, which was colder than the snow in the sky in winter.
Qin Miaoyu was startled and saw that the ordinary-looking young man in front of him suddenly changed his appearance.
A murderous aura struck him head-on, and he couldn't help but froze.
Princess Qingyue and Qin Miaoyu didn't expect Li Xiuyuan to react like this. They were about to kill him if they disagreed, so they were stunned.
Qin Miaoyu covered her mouth and murmured after a long time: "Little monk, you are so scary! We were brothers and sisters in the same trench back then."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the beautiful and innocent face opposite and smiled lightly.
Said: "That was what happened in the past. Ever since I completed the third contest with the Silver Moon Kingdom for the Tianfeng Kingdom, we no longer have anything to do with each other and we are at peace with each other."
"You really know how to joke!" Princess Qingyue avoided the topic. She didn't want to watch Qin Miaoyu and the young man in front of her face each other.
