Zhao Pingan suppressed the shock in his heart, and respectfully saluted Li Xiuyuan: "Thank you very much for going to the wilderness to rescue Shanshan back then. I will not forget the grace of saving my life."
"You're welcome, Shanshan is my junior sister. Hey, how many years have passed..."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and waved and smiled: "The past is like the wind, let it pass."
Chen Shanshan knew that Li Xiuyuan didn't like to be polite, so she sat down as she was told, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Senior brother, why didn't you go to Longmen Pass instead of coming to Zhuxian Town?"
Li Xiuyuan poured hot tea for the two of them and said calmly: "I'm afraid of trouble and want to be quiet here."
This was his original intention, but he didn't expect that in just two days, someone would come to his door.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to live in peace even if you hide here!"
Zhao Ping'an looked at him and smiled: "General Chen has been talking about you every day, saying that he wants to have a drink with you. Decades have passed in a blink of an eye."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and replied in despair: "I have a lot of troubles, so don't mention me when you go back."
He thought to himself: "Are you two like Hua Tianyu, who meet me just for the chance to ascend to heaven?"
"Senior Brother, this Shura battlefield ended suddenly. We didn't lose much military merit even though we tried our best. I don't know how many opportunities we can get in exchange for reaching the sky..."
When Chen Shanshan thought of her father in the Great Wall, she couldn't help but complain to Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan did not answer her question, but asked: "Over the years, what insights have you gained from Fu Dao? Is there anything you want to ask me?"
Teacher Gui Guzi has left. Only he can answer Chen Shanshan's questions in this world. He wants to answer her questions as much as possible before leaving.
"The teacher once said that symbols are roads, various lines, and countless traces."
Chen Shanshan thought of the teacher who had left, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said in a daze: "We have been struggling between life and death these years, but we rarely understand the Tao of Talisman."
Li Xiuyuan sighed, looked at her and said: "The traces left by the fish swimming by are talismans, the patterns on the leaves are talismans, the traces of the carriages running over the official road are talismans, and the moment the wind blows is also a talisman."
Li Xiuyuan's few simple words made the baby girl Chen Shan shocked and speechless, and she was speechless for a long time.
According to Li Xiuyuan, the traces of many things in the world are talismans. These truths are beyond her understanding of talismans, and even Gui Guzi did not tell her in detail before.
After being silent for a long time, she asked in confusion: "Brother, can I use Talisman to draw traces of all things in the world?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, looked at her and said with a smile: "Before that, you have to draw the talisman you want in your heart, not on the talisman paper."
After speaking, he pointed to a piece of spiritual tea in the cup and said slowly: "Even this piece of spiritual tea has its own trajectory in the boiling water."
"If you are always thinking about drawing the talisman you want on the talisman paper, then you will only be a good talisman master for the rest of your life, but you will not be able to step into the threshold of a talisman master."
"Please teach me, senior brother, I want to learn..."
Chen Shanshan, who was eager to learn, ignored Zhao Ping'an who was dazed at the side and patiently asked Li Xiuyuan for advice, because she knew that the person in front of her was the only Talisman Master in the wild land.
He is a Talisman Master who surpasses his teacher.
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "The talisman is a natural talisman. It is born in nature and coexists with the aura of heaven and earth. As long as you can write the talisman you want in your heart, one day you will be able to use the long sword in your hand. Even writing that talisman on the earth and sky.”
"The talisman comes from nature, but is higher than nature. You need to let heaven and earth understand the talisman you want to write, let heaven and earth understand your thoughts, and let heaven, earth, mountains and rivers be as you wish... That talisman is borrowed from A talisman that captures the power of heaven and earth is a divine talisman."
Chen Shanshan listened silently, and suddenly felt that what Li Xiuyuan was talking about was Fu Tao, but it contained a lot of truth. Her eyes lit up, and she finally saw the door that had been out of reach for so many years.
Li Xiuyuan drank the spiritual tea in the cup, looked at her and continued: "As long as you understand the truth, you can slowly ponder the traces... It takes a lifetime for the teacher to step into... There’s no need for you to be impatient.”
Chen Shanshan filled the three people's teacups with hot tea and sighed softly: "Thank you for your teachings, senior brother, I will remember it."
Although Zhao Ping'an didn't understand Fu Dao, he felt really happy when he saw Chen Shanshan's solemn expression.
The stronger Chen Shanshan becomes, the further they and their husbands will go in the future. He naturally understands this truth.
Having said this, Li Xiuyuan quietly took out a space ring and placed it on the table, looked at Chen Shanshan and smiled.
"What is this?" Chen Shanshan didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan had just finished telling her about Fu Dao and then wanted to give her a gift.
"Here are ten iron plates for the road to heaven, and a jar of spiritual wine I just brewed... These two opportunities are my way of repaying the kindness that the Great Wall Legion showed me back then. Please give one to General Chen Guangming. ."
The person he should be most grateful to for being able to get to know Gui Guzi was Chen Guangming. If Chen Guangming hadn't believed in him that day, he wouldn't have gotten to know Gui Guzi later.
Chen Shanshan didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan had already given away what she wanted to ask for before she opened her mouth. For a moment, her eyes couldn't help but be filled with mist.
He murmured: "If the teacher sees what senior brother has achieved today, he will definitely be happy."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "After the teacher ascends, he will have his own new life. We should not worry about him anymore. You should also have your own way of practice."
Nodding, Chen Shanshan put away the space ring, took out a silk scarf to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "When I go back, I will discuss this matter with General Chen and my father."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "This vat of medicinal wine is enough for at least twenty people. Let it sit for two years first. Don't be impatient."
Zhao Ping'an smiled sheepishly at the side: "We didn't bring you anything, but we let you worry about our affairs. This is really unrequited."
Li Xiuyuan quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I don't expect anything in return from you."
While he was talking, Long Hongchen rushed in, picked up the spirit tea in front of Li Xiuyuan, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm hungry."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and sighed: "So, let's go out to find a restaurant today and have a good drink."
Chen Shanshan looked at the tiger-headed Long Hongchen and said with a smile: "Where did this little guy come from... I'm treating senior brother to dinner today, but you can't compete with me to pay for it."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan laughed and said, "This is my brother Long Hongchen. Just as you said...have a drink today."
...
After drinking three glasses of apricot wine, Li Xiuyuan did not leave Chen Shanshan behind, but asked the two of them to rush back to Longmen Pass as soon as possible to redeem their military merits.
Like Hua Tianyu, Chen Shanshan did not ask Li Xiuyuan about his experience in the past few years.
From her point of view, it is enough as long as the senior brother is doing well.
The most important thing is that she understood more principles of Fu Dao and got what she wanted.
The couple were both extremely happy, and there was no way they would cause trouble with Li Xiuyuan again.
Xiao Long'er and his four daughters who went to the Shura battlefield have not yet returned. The seven towns in front of Longmen Pass have started to exchange for military merit. The news spread throughout the seven towns in just one night.
Suddenly, the slightly deserted Zhuxian Town was in full swing, and a platform was set up outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion to facilitate the returning monks to line up to redeem their military merits.
Under Li Xiuyuan's persuasion, Chen Shanshan went to Longmen Pass early the next morning.
On the one hand, he wanted to redeem his military exploits, and on the other hand, he wanted to give Chen Guangming the good news.
These things have nothing to do with Li Xiuyuan. As a person forgotten by the Shura battlefield, as long as he does not want to come forward, he is likely to become an unknown person.
No one could have imagined that he, hiding in Zhuxian Town, would be the one who had redeemed himself for the greatest military merit on the Shura battlefield.
In the words of old man Wang Chongming, as long as he didn't tell anyone, even the commander-in-chief of Longmen Pass would not know who had exchanged the greatest military merit.
After Li Xiuyuan solved the problem of Long Hongchen's identity, he didn't need the so-called face on the Shura battlefield. At the moment, he only thought about what the old Taoist priest told him.
Recite it in front of Longmen Pass and end all fate here.
From now on, the sea and the sky are vast, and no one should disturb each other.
It won't be long before he begins his own practice of becoming a mortal, which is a long, boring and boring thing.
Hua Tianyu and his gang had redeemed their military merits early and came over from time to time to have a drink with Li Xiuyuan, but he drove them back, saying that they were upset and needed to meditate.
Long Hongchen was taken shopping every day by Hua Chenyu. If it weren't for Li Xiuyuan's strict control, this guy would have forgotten that he still had to practice swordsmanship, calligraphy and reading.
Sitting alone in the small courtyard, Li Xiuyuan was taking some tranquility amidst the commotion.
It is estimated that no place in the seven towns is quiet now.
In the afternoon, when the monks were sleeping in, Li Xiuyuan took out the iron piano and placed it under the eaves on a whim, preparing to play a piece of music on the piano to express his feelings.
Long Hongchen got Tianyu City's identity token, so he no longer had to be afraid of others questioning him.
Everything is ready, just wait for the Shura battlefield to be closed after the beginning of autumn, and then you can leave.
Sitting alone in the secluded bamboo, playing the piano and roaring loudly.
As he plucked the piano slowly and played it slowly, Li Xiuyuan didn't know which piece he was playing. After much tossing and turning, he changed to a few unsatisfactory pieces of music, and finally switched to the one of Si Wuxie.
In the afternoon, in the backyard of the Taiping Inn, a faint sound of a piano drifted in the wind, which made the monks lying in the room feel a chill in their hearts.
Everyone who couldn't sleep fell into sleep quietly.
The eyes of a group of people passing by the inn brightened up, they clapped their hands and said, "We will stay in this inn!"
"I heard that the inn in Zhuxian Town is almost full of people."
There was a voice from behind, asking: "I don't know how this morning is. Go in quickly and take care of the rest of the room. Maybe someone will come over later."
You take them to find the shopkeeper, and I'll go to the back to take a look. The person who came didn't say anything and had already slipped into the inn.
"People in the deep forest don't know that the bright moon comes to shine."
Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan groaned softly, then pressed his hands on the string and said in a daze: "I didn't expect that even you would find this place..."
The visitor smiled slightly, looked at Li Xiuyuan who was sitting quietly under the eaves and said, "I came all the way from Qingshi Town. How are you going to compensate us..."
Li Xiuyuan sighed, silently put away the iron piano in front of him, got up and walked into the living room.
He said calmly: "In your opinion, how can I compensate?"
The visitor followed him into the living room, wearing Li Xiuyuan's inch-long short hair. He couldn't help but look slightly gloomy, and immediately showed envy without any concealment on his face.
He said quietly: "If you hadn't been playing the piano in the courtyard, if you hadn't said hello first, I really wouldn't have recognized you. What has happened to you over the years... I really very curious."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he smiled gently and said, "Am I not the same as you? I take risks and endure hardships to fight against the Demon Man. The only difference is that I am in the dark and you are on the battlefield."
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hospital.
Even the visitors slightly frowned amid the shouting. Only Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting quietly in the living room, reached out and lit the small stove on the table.
Looking at the small purple clay pot in front of me, I thought that there must be more people today. How should I divide the tea?
