Li Xiuyuan would have a headache whenever he thought of Chu Feng's malicious smile and Hua Tianyu's appearance. He thought that as long as he brewed some wine here first, he would be able to stop these people's mouths.
Long Hongchen yawned and asked lazily: "Brother, will those bad guys we met in Crescent Valley find here?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. We will tell you after we enter Longmen Pass to exchange for military merit."
Things must be prioritized and don't involve others. He naturally understands this.
Looking at him, Long Hongchen said seriously: "Okay, I will listen to my brother... just bear with it."
"I don't need your help in making wine. Get up tomorrow and practice your sword first, and then go shopping with me. You don't have the ability to protect yourself right now."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled lightly.
Long Hongchen looked at him and shook his head, saying, "As long as you're not hungry, everything else is up to my brother."
"I have to make the wine first, and we'll talk about other things later."
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that in the blink of an eye, I had not seen these guys for eight years.
...
The hot summer weather couldn't stop Long Hongchen from practicing his sword.
Li Chuyuan was lying in the living room of Taoyuan Inn, turning sideways with his eyes closed.
Half asleep and half awake, I rested my head on my hands, as if listening to the wind and rain.
The sunlight coming in from the window cast the shadows of the trees in the inn on him.
This was the seventh day after he arrived in Baiyun City. He bought clothes, shoes and other daily necessities for Long Hongchen, and he also bought some snacks that Xiao Long'er had given him.
Long Hongchen was very happy after putting on suitable clothes and shoes.
When he had something to eat, he didn't bother Li Xiuyuan.
He practiced swordplay honestly on the sidelines, watching Li Xiuyuan brew several tanks of spiritual wine by himself.
After making wine, Li Xiuyuan was no longer anxious to leave, but lived a life of seclusion.
Get up in the morning and practice swordplay for a while, and then copy scriptures for a while, letting Long Hongchen spend half the day reading and half the day practicing swordplay. It seems that this kind of life is the life he wants.
There are no calculations above the Nine Heavens, and there is no fight between life and death.
As for what happened in Crescent Valley, he had long forgotten it. In his opinion, as long as he didn't tell Long Hongchen, no one would know that he had been to that place.
"Don't look at me like this. We have to stay here for a few days. You should practice your sword and calligraphy!" Unable to resist the heat, Long Hongchen practiced his sword for an hour before entering the room to rest.
Li Xiuyuan, who was leaning on the recliner, looked at him and shook his head.
Long Hongchen, who was sitting next to him, had his back turned to him. There was a roast chicken and a plate of peanuts on the table.
It was mid-afternoon. The summer sunshine swayed on Long Hongchen's fingertips.
"It's so delicious, brother, why don't you even take a bite!" Long Hongchen took a bite of the chicken and drank a cup of herbal tea, making a satisfied sound.
"Brother, can you be quiet for a while..." Li Xiuyuan disliked Long Hongchen's ugly appearance and couldn't help but say something.
"It's delicious! Long Hongchen has never eaten such delicious food." Long Hongchen turned his head, looked at him and smiled.
"You just know how to eat." Li Xiuyuan crossed his hands, sighed, and said, "I don't know when my unreliable master will show up."
"Don't look at me with that look. You are now a monk in the Golden Core Realm. It won't be long before you can awaken the skills that Master left for you." Li Xiuyuan said.
Li Xiuyuan is not afraid of practicing, but he is afraid of teaching others. He has not even taught Xiao Longer much.
To say that he put the most effort into teaching Nangong Ruyu when he was in the Five Regions, he taught tea ceremony, piano technique, and swordsmanship to the little girl.
At that time, he was dedicated to studying Buddhism and had a peaceful mind, while Nangong Ruyu, who had not yet entered the human world, was also in a peaceful state of mind.
One is dedicated to teaching and the other is dedicated to learning.
This is how the story of Nangong Ruyu, who heard the piano one day and entered Taoism in the back mountain of the academy, came to be. For this day, the original Nangong Ruyu had been practicing hard at Xuantian Temple for an unknown amount of time.
Long Hongchen laughed when he heard this and said with a smile: "Long Hongchen also wants to talk to the old man. He has never appeared since he left the temple."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, glared at him and said, "Don't say you haven't seen him before, aren't I the same?"
It’s another morning after the rain.
In the courtyard of the inn, Long Hongchen was practicing his sword.
Li Xiuyuan replaced Sword Twenty-One for him. His movements of swinging the sword suddenly became much slower, and every swing was very slow. Only then did he realize why his brother never gave him this sword.
It turned out to be too heavy.
In Long Hongchen's body, the blood was rolling, and there was a faint roar of a divine dragon, rushing through the meridians throughout his body.
Li Xiuyuan modified his swordsmanship. He used to practice it as fast as lightning. Now he is asked to practice another artistic conception, saying that this is slowness and stillness.
This was the Ruoshui Sword Intent that Li Xiuyuan asked him to realize after thinking about the scene in the Emerald Lake.
If you are fast, I will be fast; if you are slow, I will be slower than you.
These days, Long Hongchen felt that the golden elixir in his body would change. As his sword skills improved, he felt like he was reborn.
Every time he practices Sword Twenty-One in his hand, he will gain something, which can continuously make his physical body stronger, because Li Li Xiuyuan told him that it won't be long before he breaks through again.
Li Xiuyuan walked out of the living room and said, "I'll go out for a walk, and you can continue practicing. Don't be lazy!"
But before he even left the inn, he bumped into a woman!
"You kid doesn't even look at people when you're walking... Oh, who are you, little guy?"
The woman in a black skirt looked at Li Xiuyuan and refused to let go, and Li Xiuyuan felt like an old friend of hers.
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Li Xiuyuan had to shout softly: "Sister Li Yun, why are you here?"
The woman in the dark skirt had red eyes, stepped forward and touched his head, and said angrily: "We haven't seen each other for eight years, why are you like this again?"
After eight full years without Li Xiuyuan, it was inevitable to be excited when we reunited after a long absence.
For Li Xiuyuan, it seemed that he and this group of friends had been separated for the past year, as if countless reincarnations had passed, and it was difficult to express when they reunited again.
"I haven't seen you for many years and I miss you very much." Li Xiuyuan said softly.
Li Yun hugged him, slapped his back hard, and murmured: "Oh, just come back, you are a monster!"
"Me too, it would be great if you could come back."
Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, his expression as gentle and calm as before, and he wouldn't care even if the sky fell.
However, Li Yun didn't think so. She was thinking of the wasted years on the battlefield of Luo, thinking of almost being buried in the wilderness, and then dying.
I couldn't help but have mixed feelings, so I took his hand and asked, "Where is our princess?"
"Are you alone? Where are the disciples of Taoyuan?" After thinking about it, Li Xiuyuan still asked: "Have you injured many people?"
When he met an acquaintance when he went out, he couldn't leave to go shopping, so he had to pull her towards the back of the inn.
After entering the small courtyard, Long Hongchen was still practicing his sword honestly.
When I saw a strange woman coming in, I couldn't help but ask vigilantly: "Brother, who is this sister?"
Li Yun was even more shocked. She looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "When did you get a little brother? Didn't you take Xiao Long'er with you? Where is our Yu'er?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at Long Hongchen and said, "This is sister Li Yun. Let's practice for a while and come in for tea."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the living room.
After he lit a fire and boiled water, he briefly recounted his experiences over the years, pointed at Long Hongchen outside the door and said, "Her mother is a wild monk..."
When Li Yun heard this, she couldn't help but said quietly: "We in Taoyuan also have many monks who will stay here forever. Fortunately, you have them, otherwise we might not be able to survive..."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said softly: "I'm just trying my best. Yu'er went to the Devil's Eye with Xiao Qing, Xiao Long'er and the others. It is estimated that she will not return to Longmen Pass until the beginning of autumn."
Li Yun was naturally overjoyed when she heard that the princess was fine.
"Tell me, Yu'er's current cultivation level is... Oops, why can't I understand your realm? Don't tell me that you have made a breakthrough..."
After sitting down, Li Yun had the time to carefully look at Li Xiuyuan's cultivation.
Who would have thought that it would be okay if you didn’t look at it, but you would be shocked when you look at it.
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "When she separated from me in the spring, she was at the seventh level of the cave. When she comes back, she should be at the eighth level, right?"
Hearing this, Li Yun was even more shocked.
She had thought that Nangong Ruyu's realm would be higher than hers, but she didn't expect that it would be so much higher.
After thinking about it, he looked at Li Xiuyuan and said sheepishly: "Did you give her some magic medicine? Did you give me some? I want to break through too."
Naturally, he knew that these guys would not let him go, but this time he was really helpless.
Because when he came back from Xinghua Valley, everything he had on him was given to his mother and Mu Mu, and he didn't even bring back a drop of wine, let alone any elixir.
While putting the tea into the pot and pouring hot tea for the two of them, he said with a wry smile: "I have been away from the Shura battlefield for seven of the past eight years. The opportunity for Yu'er and the others to break through is not with me..."
When Li Yun heard this, she asked reluctantly: "Impossible, where can you go if the Shura battlefield is closed?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said seriously: "This matter cannot be explained in one sentence. Wait until you see Yu'er and let her explain it to you slowly."
"Even my younger brother, I have never given him a single elixir... If you really want to find some excuse... I will give you a small jar of the newly brewed medicinal wine in the next two days. You can return it." I’ll drink it after I get to Taoyuan.”
In his opinion, he could only share with these guys the wine made from the elixir he had just picked from the Shura battlefield. Even so, Li Yun complained.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Yun looked at him with lingering fear and said: "Last time, Yu'er and I were a little bit worse. Do you want to meet her? She is also in this inn... .”
Originally, Li Yun wanted to rent this small courtyard, but unexpectedly the guy at the inn said that it had already been rented out.
Jie Yun, who didn't believe it to death, had to come in to take a look, and that's when the two of them bumped into each other.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the half cup of tea in his hand silently and said quietly: "It's better not to take it anymore, as long as you are all still alive."
He is not an old Taoist priest, and there is nothing he can do about those monks who will remain on the Shura battlefield forever.
Cultivation is a road of no return. If you want to get more opportunities, you will have to pay the price of your life if you are not careful. Why is he not like this?
Li Yun also learned about Li Xiuyuan and Dongfang Yu'er's past from Nangong Ruyu's mouth.
I couldn't help but feel a little sad for a moment, and said in a daze: "Look at how thin you are. Where the hell are you? Do you have nothing to eat?"
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "I just had a hard life and suffered a lot of thunder on the Shura battlefield, so I became like this."
Not to mention the tribulation thunders he encountered when he broke through the tribulation, he almost killed himself just in Tianlei Lake.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Li Yun and asked, "Sister Li Yun's military exploits should be redeemable for that opportunity, right?"
Li Yun nodded and frowned: "Where is our princess? Where is her chance?"
