When he heard the sound of arrows and saw one of Zhuge Xiongfeng's arms falling in the snow, Li Xiuyuan didn't pay much attention. Since the thieves had retreated, he didn't have to worry about them attacking again.
The hissing in the air has stopped, and the burning in the icy cold wind has gradually disappeared without a trace, spreading around at an extremely fast speed, as if it had never arrived.
The rune fire has disappeared, the dragon fire has been withdrawn, and the snow is falling quietly.
After eating a piece of peach meat, Nangong Ruyu finally regained some strength. Xiaoqing had taken out the arrow on her chest and changed the blood-stained skirt on her body.
Looking at the frowning Li Xiuyuan, Nangong Ruyu smiled forcefully: "Yu'er has worried the master. It's all my fault that I didn't notice the other party's cold arrow."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and shook his head. He just reached out and held her hand and felt it quietly. It took a long time before he took a deep breath.
He sighed: "I was still careless. It's all my fault. I forgot that you were behind me...otherwise it wouldn't be like this."
In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, he could have caught the arrow at that time, but he just didn't bother to catch it.
Nangong Ruyu held back the pain in her chest and looked at Li Xiuyuan who was preparing medicine and making a fire to cook the medicine. A trace of warmth rose in her heart, and tears fell unsatisfactorily.
After repelling Ye Cheng's pursuers, Li Xiuyuan was originally scheduled to take Nangong Ruyu and others to leave Tianyao Mountain, leave the Valley of the Dead, and find another place to explore.
Although the monks who came to seek revenge were dealt with and the mastermind Zhu Xiongfeng was injured, the group's itinerary had to be slightly modified due to Nangong Ruyu's serious injury.
There was a burning smell in the air.
The mountains echoed with Xiao Longer's cheers and Xiao Qing's shouts.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Nangong Ruyu who was lying beside him and said, "It doesn't matter if something like this happened. Once you suffer a loss, you won't be careless again in the future."
Nangong Ruyu raised her head and glanced at him. She didn't know whether it was because of bleeding or other reasons. Her face was very pale at this time, whiter than the white snow outside the small temple.
"They killed a lot of people. Except for the hateful guy who ran away, the others have been buried on Tianyao Mountain, just like the guy in the Valley of the Dead before."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said, "We will practice here peacefully this winter."
Nangong Ruyu's eyelashes trembled slightly and she replied softly: "Will it affect the master's plan? Where are Xiao Long'er and Xiao Qing?"
Li Xiuyuan suppressed the anger in his heart and said softly: "The Shura battlefield lasted ten years, and we can't compete with this moment. Xiao Long'er and Xiao Qing went to clean up the battlefield."
Nangong Ruyu was stunned for a moment, looked at him and replied shyly: "Xiao Long'er is very happy now, we can share the money again in a while."
Li Xiuyuan was silent for a moment and then said: "If you like it and still have the strength, you can count the money with Xiao Long'er later."
Nangong Ruyu's pale cheeks showed that she was seriously injured. Although she ate the spiritual peach given by Li Xiuyuan, it only stopped the worsening of the injury.
Smelling the strong aroma of medicine on the fire, Nangong Ruyu sighed, frowned slightly, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Can I not take these medicines?"
"No." Li Xiuyuan said quietly while stirring the concoction in the pot.
"Brother, we are back." At this moment, Xiao Long'er's voice came from the door: "It seems that a bad guy ran away. Do you want Xiao Long'er to chase him?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "Let him go and ignore him."
Xiaoqing looked at Nangong Ruyu who was lying aside and asked, "What should I do, eldest sister? Does the wound matter?"
Nangong Ruyu looked at her and smiled: "Master is here, Xiaoqing doesn't have to worry about me."
Xiao Long'er jumped over, stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, and imitated Li Xiuyuan's tone and said, "I have brother's elixir, don't be afraid, eldest sister."
Li Xiuyuan shook it gently

He shook his head and said quietly: "We were careless this time. You must be more careful in the future and don't get hurt by cold arrows."
Xiao Long'er sat down by the fire. With a flick of his hand, a bunch of space rings fell to the ground with a crash.
Looking at Nangong Ruyu, she said excitedly: "Sister, please bear with me. Let's divide the money first and wait for the master to cook the medicine before eating it. Anyway, there is nothing to do next."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the three of them and said calmly: "If my guess is correct, they may not have the strength to deal with us again this winter. You just happen to be practicing swordsmanship here."
Nangong Ruyu raised her brows slightly and murmured: "Master, if you want to leave, I can do it... If you go more slowly, it shouldn't have much impact."
Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly, looked at her and said, "Not to mention you, even if Xiaoqing is injured, I will stay here and wait for the snow to melt in spring before leaving."
Feeling the strange looks from the three women, especially Nangong Ruyu's expression of wanting to give up, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile and said, "You three will share these, and I won't snatch them from you."
In one day, he killed more than fifty black-clothed monks, and most of them were at the Cave Heaven Realm. Thinking about it, these people were all quite wealthy. Xiao Longer and the others made another small fortune.
Nangong Ruyu did not do what Li Xiuyuan said, but asked Xiaoqing to divide the four space rings into four parts. After staring at Li Xiuyuan with a pair of wonderful eyes, she took away her own part.
Of course, Xiao Long'er didn't care. In her heart, what was owned by Li Xiuyuan belonged to her. Ever since she left the abyss, she had been following Li Xiuyuan. Where was the lack of food and passage?
Xiao Qing had the same idea as Xiao Long'er. As long as she wanted, she could ask Li Xiuyuan to lend her hand at any time, and Li Xiuyuan would definitely not refuse her.
Only Nangong Ruyu is not in a hurry. Firstly, she is not short of money. Secondly, she knows that as a master, Li Xiuyuan will not let her suffer. This is the tacit understanding developed with the master back in Fangcun Mountain.
The three women all had unconditional trust in Li Xiuyuan, which made him a little confused.
After the hunt in the mountains was over, it was already past midnight, and the three women all complained that they were hungry.
After letting Xiaoqing feed Nangong Ruyu medicine, Li Xiuyuan took the iron pot to the door to fill with ice and snow to prepare porridge. Since we want to live here, it is natural that the fireworks of the world must rise here.
Xiao Qing looked at Nangong Ruyu and said with a smile: "Sister, you are so lucky to have Li Xiuyuan cook the medicine for you personally. Xiao Long'er and I have not enjoyed it yet."
Nangong Ruyu was stunned, looked at her and said with a smile: "Next time, you will be hit by an arrow. It will hurt you half to death, and then let the master cook you the potion for a month. There will be no problem."
Xiao Longer took a space ring, poured the items inside on the ground, picked them up and played with them.
Looking at the second daughter, he said: "Xiao Long'er won't care. My brother probably won't be happy. From now on, I have to let the eldest sister and the second sister learn to cook potions by themselves. We can't let Xiao Long'er learn."
Nangong Ruyu looked at her and said puzzledly: "Why? Don't you need to learn it when you are the youngest? After dinner, let Xiaoqing practice sword practice with you. I don't need you to accompany me."
Xiao Long'er screamed strangely: "Oh, sister, how come your tone is almost the same as that of my brother? Xiao Long'er hasn't practiced sword practice for several days."
Xiaoqing glanced at her, made a beheading gesture, and said with a smile: "Sister, I don't need to call you. I guess Li Xiuyuan will kick us out after dinner."
Just like what Xiao Qing said that day, after breakfast and two courses of tea, Li Xiuyuan drove Xiao Qing and Little Totoro out of the temple, saying that they were not allowed to come back until noon and had to practice swordsmanship for two hours.
Xiao Longer looked at the little green monster and shouted: "Second sister, you have a crow's mouth."
Xiao Qing pretended to hit her, and the two girls ran out of the small temple with a whoop. After a while, the sound of the two fighting was heard.
...
The wind and snow in Tianyao Mountain were still there, and the temperature was getting colder and colder. Li Xiuyuan threw a few pieces of pine wood into the fire to keep warm, which made Nangong Ruyu's body lying aside feel some warmth.
There is the sound of boiling water in the kettle on the stove, and the sound of water in the purple clay pot
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The dense fragrance of tea rose and surrounded the small temple.
Sitting by the fire, Li Xiuyuan was in a daze, thinking about something on his mind.
Nangong Ruyu, who was lying on the bed, looked at Li Xiuyuan in a daze and felt a little bored. With a wave of his hand, a piece of sawdust flew towards Li Xiuyuan like a sharp sword.
Li Xiuyuan, who was thinking about whether to go out to watch Xiao Longer practice his sword, suddenly felt the sound of sword energy piercing the air, and subconsciously used his fingers to make a sword to block the sound of stabbing.
He didn't hear any sound, only felt a piece of wood chips slanting across his ear. When he looked up, he saw Nangong Ruyu looking at him quietly. Looking at the ground again, half a piece of sawdust fell quietly beside him.
"Master, you are so stupid. If this was a real sword, your ears would be gone." After saying this, he waved his hand, and another sword-like sawdust flew towards Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and blocked it, and with a flash of sword light, the flying sawdust was cut into two pieces by him.
Looking at everything in front of him, Li Xiuyuan's mind stirred up some waves.
There was a voice that was no different from Nangong Ruyu: "Brother, you are so stupid. If this was a real sword, your ears would be gone."
Without shouting out, Li Xiuyuan shouted silently in his heart: "Mumu, is it you?"
The fragments in his mind attacked him again.
It turns out that there really is a girl named Mu Mu in his life. The girl in her heart, the girl who frightened her in her dreams at night
Li Xiuyuan was shocked. He didn't expect that Mu Mu in the dream and Nangong Ruyu in front of him were slashing at him with the same techniques as picking leaves and flying flowers, but these techniques were taught to Nangong Ruyu by himself.
It was just this moment of distraction that caused the finger sword in his hand to only hit a piece of sawdust thrown by Nangong Ruyu. There were two more pieces that were not blocked, one hit his wrist, and the other hit his left cheek. .
Although his divine dragon body was invulnerable, Nangong Ruyu used her cave-heaven realm skills to attack him, but it still left shallow marks on his hands and face.
He sighed secretly in his heart, looked at Nangong Ruyu and said with a smile: "It seems that your swordsmanship has reached a great level. From now on, Xiao Qing and Xiao Longerbing will be left to you to teach them."
Nangong Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but master, please tell me, how many snowflakes can you chop off right now?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and replied calmly: "It's only about sixteen pieces. I wonder if it can break through to seventeen this winter?"
In the memory of his mind, there was always a voice telling him to kill fifteen snowflakes with one sword, and the current self had obviously surpassed the former self.
Nangong Ruyu nodded, looked at the quietly burning flames, and said, "Yu'er is far behind compared to you. When I get better, I will continue to practice."
Li Xiuyuan nodded, looked at her and said calmly: "Practice is inherently like sailing against the current. If you don't practice diligently from time to time, even if you learn it one day, you will slowly forget everything you once had."
Nangong Ruyu coughed lightly, looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled happily: "Master, it's great to meet you again in the Shura Heaven. Yu'er has no regrets."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said with a smile: "It's almost time. Now that we have arrived at the Shura battlefield, the day when I can recover my memory is not far away."
Looking at Li Xiuyuan's thoughtful look, Nangong Ruyu smiled and said: "If the master recovers his memory, he will not bear any grudge against the senior sister. After all, her mother canceled your marriage back then."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, picked up the kettle, poured her a cup of hot tea, and handed it to her.
He said seriously: "Since it happened in the past, it means that I had let go of them back then..."
After taking a sip of hot tea, Nangong Ruyu looked at him and murmured: "I occasionally talk to my senior sister about the master's past, and I can see that she is very reluctant to let go?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said softly: "If you abandon me, why should I worry about the past?"
...
