The spring water on the small stove on the table was moaning.
Together with the mountain breeze blowing in from outside the door, it is more like a beautiful piece of music playing inadvertently.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand to catch a petal that floated in the wind. It was just a casual movement, but Chen Xiaoyan saw ripples in his eyes.
Looking at the petals in Li Xiuyuan's hand, looking at his smile, I silently thought about how Li Xiuyuan defeated Ouyang Xia Yun on the high platform that day.
"There's something I can't figure out." Chen Xiaoyan suddenly said.
Li Xiuyuan was slightly startled and asked, "What's the matter?"
Frowning slightly, Chen Xiaoyan said: "In terms of talent in cultivation, I am obviously far better than you, but my understanding of sword intent is far inferior to yours... How did you defeat Ouyang Xia Yun that day?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and then said: "Do you really want to know? Have you mastered your sword power or sword intention?"
Chen Xiaoyan shook her head and said: "On the high platform that day, Ouyang Xiayun's snow leopard was obviously going to pounce on you, why did it disappear in front of you? Then his desk and chair flew out of the high platform again."
"So what?" Li Xiuyuan replied quietly.
Chen Xiaoyan said: "In my opinion, that is definitely not an accidental phenomenon. I left the cold plum blossoms on the paper you drew, and I also saw a faint sword energy. There is no doubt..."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and then laughed: "It turns out that you were thinking about what happened that day. When you gather your sword intention, and then one day you can practice the sword power, you can do it too."
This time, Li Xiuyuan did not explain it to her carefully.
In his opinion, these are just his small tricks, not worth mentioning.
However, Chen Xiaoyan looked at him reluctantly and asked seriously: "I want a copy of your handwriting."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and blurted out: "I'm not in the mood." After saying that, he stood up from the chair, walked out of the bamboo shed and walked towards the cave.
Chen Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, her heart moved, and she followed suit.
She also wanted to see the mysterious cave where her senior brother usually practiced in seclusion.
Unexpectedly, she was disappointed when she entered the cave. It was filled with wine jars, and there was only an animal blanket spread on a smooth stone slab, proving that people had lived here.
Then Li Xiuyuan did not speak, but quietly looked at the Buddhist scriptures on the stone wall in a daze.
Chen Xiaoyan was startled. She followed his gaze and was stunned. After a while, she stretched out her hand to touch the scriptures on the stone wall and asked, "All the scriptures in this cave were done by my senior brother? "
Li Xiuyuan looked at the Buddhist scriptures on the stone wall and said, "Whether you want sword intention or sword energy, they are all here."
Chen Xiaoyan nodded, sighed and said, "I'm afraid Master doesn't know either, right?"
"After I leave, if you want to understand your sword energy and sword skills, you can come here and sit down. The magic circle on the top of the mountain will not stop you from your master and teacher."
Li Xiuyuan lowered his head and thought about it before adding: "Don't let outsiders come and pollute this place. This is a complete Buddhist scripture."
Since he doesn't want to have anything to do with Tianyun Mountain anymore, he naturally doesn't want others to enter the place where he once practiced.
"Can't Xiao Ling'er and Ping An be the same?" Chen Xiaoyan asked in a daze.
"No, if you want to teach them, just make rubbings and show them to them... I once told Master that no one is allowed to go up the mountain. This is a forbidden area in Zhufeng!"
Nalan Ruoyu knew the secret here, but Chen Xiaoyan didn't.
If it weren't for the fact that the woman in front of him bore the hatred of genocide, he wouldn't have bothered to tell her some of his secrets.
When Li Xiuyuan mentioned the word "forbidden land", Chen Xiaoyan nodded solemnly and replied, "I remember it."
"I have nothing to teach you. Your masters are Master, Sword Master and others. I can at most tell you some convenient methods of cultivation, and then you will have to practice hard on your own. No one can help you with this matter."
After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he turned around and left the cave. The spring mist had begun, and he felt that Chen Xiaoyan should take Xiao Ling'er down the mountain.
I also need to calm down and prepare to go to the Snowy Mountains to reach the unknown ruins.
Standing on the top of the mountain, silently staring at this mountain that has changed me, and even my life, there is an invisible abyss under the mountain.
The abyss is the biggest secret of Zhufeng. It is a place where only he can go and where he cannot come back alive.
Looking out from Linyuan, the sun is setting on the horizon and night is about to rise.
As the senior brother of Zhufeng, he has finally fulfilled a lot of responsibilities for his master, not to mention Sima Jingyun who has not yet returned to the mountain.
Just looking at Chen Xiaoyan and Xiao Ling'er in front of them, as well as the safety of Tiandao Peak, the swordsmanship of the three of them was enough for them to practice for decades.
If Chen Xiaoyan really learned how to make wine and could promote it in Xuanwu Continent, that would be his genius.
At least, the two masters will not have to worry about drinking in the coming years and months.
While he was thinking, Xiao Ling'er, who was sleeping in the bamboo shed, came out rubbing his eyes, looked at him and asked: "Brother, where is my sister?"
"I'm here."
Before Li Xiuyuan could reply, Chen Xiaoyan's voice came from behind: "Xiao Ling'er, let's go back to Yaoguang Hall. Don't disturb senior brother's peace here."
Thinking that her master was still waiting for her, Chen Xiaoyan stopped Xiao Linger and waved goodbye to Li Xiuyuan.
After saying this, he turned around and left, heading towards the mountainside.
The night wind gradually picked up, blowing the hems of the two women's skirts, and soon they disappeared from Li Xiuyuan's eyes.
Xiao Ling'er's voice came from the wind: "Brother, Xiao Ling'er will come see you in two days."
Li Xiuyuan remained silent as he looked at the backs of the two women who gradually disappeared into the night.
I'm afraid that in the future in Xuanwu Continent, he and Ouyang Xuan will be enemies of life and death, but the two women at the moment are his concerns in Tianyun Mountain, and now they spend a lot of time together on Zhufeng.
Although there is not much friendship, it is because Wang Qiang and Nalan Ruoyu are used to the existence of the two women.
Thinking about the near future, maybe the woman in front of me will go to Loulan City with Wang Qiang, which makes me feel a little sad.
I learned the legend from the library that the four holy places in the Xuanwu Continent may just be a test of Tianyun Mountain by the Snowfield Holy Land.
Perhaps something more cruel is yet to come.
Even when they come to the Xuanwu Continent beyond Mount Sumeru, they still follow the law of the jungle.
Faced with this temptation, Tianyun Mountain was speechless.
If Miss Chen from Loulan City hadn't won the match, no matter how powerful a foreign monk like me was, I would have been unable to make a difference.
The only thing that Tianyun Mountain can be proud of is that the senior brother finally managed to save a little face for the headmaster by drawing a draw.
The result of this test was that Senior Brother Zai from Zhufeng cut off one of Monk Ruoli's arms and crippled one of Ouyang Xuan's arms and legs in a way that shocked the two holy places.
Ouyang Chongming, who came with the intention of winning, had to leave Tianyun Mountain with a group of elder disciples from the Snowfield Holy Land.
The fact that Tianyun Mountain used iron and blood proved a truth to the Snowfield Holy Land, that is, after a thousand years, Tianyun is still unshakable.
As for the inside story, only the Five Masters themselves know it well.
So much so that in the past few days, the headmaster had not been able to go to Zhufeng to find Nalan Ruoyu to inquire about the severely injured and dying young man.
...
Li Xiuyuan stayed on the mountain for another two days, until several vegetable fields were sown with seeds, and he saw new shoots emerging from the soil.
Then he closed the small door of the bamboo shed, opened the two restrictions on the top of the mountain, sighed, and went down the mountain.
After nightfall.
After pushing open the door of the library, Meng Shentong had already boiled a pot of spring water, as if he knew that his disciple was about to say goodbye to him.
Looking at the disciple who was dressed in black clothes like night, the old man asked quietly: "You didn't say goodbye to Yu Zun?"
Sitting in front of the old man, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh.
He said helplessly: "It's not like we're not going back, there's nothing to be pretentious about...Besides, there are Xiao Ling'er and Junior Sister on the mountain."
The old man was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "You asked that girl to go to the cave to see the swordsmanship. Was she frightened by your courage?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said calmly: "She is worried about the high platform competition. If she doesn't let her see those sword energies, I'm afraid she won't be able to live in peace in the future... There's only so much I can do."
Thinking about the secret in the cave for a blink of an eye, Li Xiuyuan had to mention it to the old man again: "The teacher has to watch her, although I told her not to bring Xiao Ling'er and Ping An in..."
Although Chen Xiaoyan did not enter the abyss to visit the Buddha, he did not know whether an accident would happen. If these guys really fell into the abyss accidentally, they would never return.
The old man sighed and said, "I have to talk to your master about this and ask that girl to go there once a month at most."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "I think so too."
The old man stretched out his hand to pour him spiritual tea and said, "What are your plans at this time?"
"Go to Loulan City first. If possible... at least give her a thought." Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said, "Of course, I will stay for two days and then go to the Snow Mountain."
The old man thought for a while, lowered his head and stared at the leaf in his cup, and said lightly: "That's fine, you can't help her solve everything..."
"Yes, the disciple is not a hero, let alone a god."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the old man and laughed: "I have been afraid of death since I was a child. When I was eight years old, I killed a killer who came to plot against me. I didn't want to harm anyone... I just wanted to live. "
Li Xiuyuan thought about it carefully and realized that he had been in constant trouble along the way. Although he just wanted to live well, God never gave him a free and happy life.
Even when I was practicing in Prajna Temple and Xuantian Temple on Fangcun Mountain, there would always be wind and rain from the world coming up the mountain, making it impossible to practice quietly.
Later, I went to the academy of Shura Tianyu, and there were even more troubles.
After finally traveling through the black hole of time and arriving at Xuanwu Continent, only a little more than a month had passed before he had to kill a killer on Tianhuang Mountain for eight years.
The old man looked at his disciple who was bowing his head and keeping silent, and couldn't help but ask: "Don't risk your life with others now. Your vitality is not enough for you."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he finally remembered that in the eyes of the Xuanwu Continental monks, he was no different than a waste.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh and said: "This disciple is afraid of death, so he has prepared many means to save his life these days. As long as they don't mess with me..."
After speaking, he quietly took out a piece of talisman and handed it to the old man in front of him.
The old man reached out and took it, silently feeling the murderous intent contained in this thin piece of talisman. He couldn't help but shake his head and said: "They all thought you were a mortal without spiritual veins..."
"That's fine. This disciple also wants to quietly go to the ruins under the volcano to find his own opportunity. I don't think Ouyang Xuan can enter the forbidden area."
In his opinion, as long as he didn't meet that guy, he would have his own way of dealing with other people.
In his opinion, as long as he does not survive his fourth Nirvana in the ruins, other problems he encounters can be solved.
If he could find a rejuvenating elixir and bring back a ten-thousand-year elixir to his master, he would not have any regrets even if he was brought back to the Shura Heaven by an old Taoist priest early.
"On the contrary, Wang Qiang and Ping An." Li Xiuyuan sighed: "I hope they can grow up through cultivation on Tianhuang Mountain. After all, Tianyun Mountain cannot always be so peaceful."
The old man was startled and blurted out: "It's okay, my master is still here."
