The two girls actually had a good understanding of each other. They had prepared empty wine jars early, as if they were waiting for the young man to fill them up.
It's just that they never imagined that in Li Xiuyuan's eyes, the so-called spiritual wine was not much different from water and spiritual tea.
It was past noon, and a ray of golden light shone from the hazy clouds above the Tianshan Mountains, illuminating the bamboo shed at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
The two contented girls cheered like mountain birds.
The young man in front of him, in a rare act of generosity, filled their respective wine jars.
You can taste it slowly when you go back.
Li Xiuyuan got out of the cave, looked at the two of them and said quietly: "The rest belong to my brother and sister, and there is no more."
Li Xiuyuan's meaning is very clear. Even if you go back and sell me, there will be no wine for you.
Murong Zhilan put away her own spirit wine, looked at him and nodded with a smile: "That's enough, that's enough. If they want to drink it, they can wait until I go to Loulan to learn from you."
A faint smile appeared on Yuwen Liuli's face, and she said softly: "I have to give it to my mother to try."
Her meaning is simpler, she is afraid that her brother will rarely taste the spiritual wine here.
After a moment of silence, Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and said, "In that case, you can go back. I guess they won't have to wait a few days before they want to conquer the mountain."
He could feel the aura of the jade disc fragments from the top of the Tianshan Mountains.
Those auras contain the spirit and mantle of the old Taoist priest, who had been living outside because of the war between gods and demons that year.
As the youngest disciple of the old Taoist priest, this heavy responsibility falls on his shoulders.
Thousands of years later, the prehistoric world opened a door to the Xuanwu Continent, but the opportunity lies in the deepest part of the Snowy Mountains, although the four holy places do not know what ancient ruins are.
It wasn't until this moment that he had some understanding. At least Luanniao had found his successor, or the body of reincarnation.
And maybe he can also find the fragments of the jade disc that were lost in the ancient world.
After all, in the eyes of the Four Holy Lands, my situation and qualifications are the worst.
Even the opportunity he had worked so hard for was snatched away by the law enforcement elders of Tianyun Mountain.
Fortunately, Situ Tianxing from Loulan City gave me another opportunity. After thinking about it, I owed that guy a huge favor.
Thinking of the elixirs I picked, I had no choice but to give him half of them.
"Will you go to that mountain to look for opportunities together?"
Murong Zhilan looked at him and asked seriously, from the girl's point of view, is there any reason to come to the foot of Tianshan Mountain and not climb the mountain?
However, the two girls didn't know Li Xiuyuan's difficulties. If it weren't for his injuries, he would have followed Long Potian and Xiao Ling'er all over the world and gone crazy.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan looked at the two girls with a gentle expression. His pure eyes made the two girls feel dazed.
He murmured: "The opportunity in Tianshan? Of course I won't miss it."
Murong Zhilan clapped her little hands and took Yuwen Liuli's hand to walk to the bamboo shed. After a few days away, she thought that the senior sister would also miss the two of them.
Yuwen Liuli looked at Li Xiuyuan who was following him and confirmed, "Do you really want to go to that mountain with us? Will Xiao Ling'er go with you?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said, "I'll ask after they get back to me. If nothing happens, she should go to the mountain with me to see my brother Long Potian."
For the three of them, whether it was Long Potian or Xiao Ling'er, the mountain in front of them should not be able to stop them.
Even if Xiao Ling'er's current cultivation level is not enough, she is someone from the Nine Heavens who ordered Long Potian to protect her.
But Long Potian is a dragon who can ride on the wind at any time!
The three of them looked up at the vast snow-capped mountains not far away, thinking that they could finally go to the mountains for a few days.
Watching the two girls leave, Li Xiuyuan suddenly felt inexplicably sad.
Looking at the two of them, he shouted: "You two, don't covet the scenery in the mountains. Go back and find them as soon as possible."
From a distance, the silver bell-like laughter of the two women could be heard.
Murong Zhilan shouted even more rudely: "Do you want me to ask Senior Sister to come here to see you?" Li Xiuyuan was startled when he heard this, and quickly replied: "No, please let me live in peace for two days." days."
He waved his hand and watched the two women gradually disappear from his eyes.
Back in the bamboo shed, I thought that Long Potian and Xiao Ling'er would go crazy as soon as they went out and didn't know they were back.
Lying on the bamboo chair, he pulled on the animal blanket and wrapped himself tightly. At the moment, he had no choice but to have a good sleep.
After all, his thoughts were all on Yuwen Liuli these days, and he was afraid that she might accidentally let Murong Zhilan see the clues, which would cause trouble.
There was no way he could do anything about Yuwen Liuli's danger of becoming a demon. After all, the ancient Luan Bird itself was the body of a god and demon.
Coupled with the fact that he was framed back then, the grievances that had accumulated for thousands of years had to be vented somewhere.
After thinking about it, I feel that only the old Taoist priest is really good to him. With such a powerful master, he will no longer be afraid in the future of spiritual practice.
It's just that he has become a demon. Does the master know now?
The mountain breeze blew gently through the gaps in the bamboo shed, but it could not stop the young man's determination to fall asleep.
In the dream, Li Xiuyuan seemed to have arrived at the top of the Tianshan Mountains. The ink-black night covered the vast mountains, and only the starlight falling through the clouds appeared brighter.
Bathed in the faint starlight, his restless heart suddenly calmed down.
Looking down at the vast mountains in front of him, after being silent for a long time, Li Xiuyuan finally made up his mind.
Said: "Master, have I become a demon? Will the princess of Phoenix City also become a demon?"
The old Taoist priest looked at him and said quietly: "So what?"
Li Xiuyuan raised his head and asked anxiously: "But you said that one day my disciple will inherit your mantle..."
The old Taoist priest looked at him and smiled lightly: "You are in the prehistoric world. Gods and demons were everywhere in the prehistoric world. In the end, who is the real god? Who is the evil demon?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Disciple doesn't know."
The old Taoist priest naturally understood what his disciple was thinking, and looked at him and sighed leisurely.
He said calmly: "Didn't Lao Shang tell you a lot of truth?"
"If you really feel that you can't face it, why don't you just stay in the ancient world, and don't think about going back to Xuanwu Continent or Mount Sumeru."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and immediately understood what the old Taoist meant. He thought to himself, how could he stay in the ancient world since he had not yet transformed into a mortal?
His mother also has Xumi Mountain, Mu Mu and Nangong Ruyu, as well as his husband, wife and sister, not to mention more relatives and friends.
Thinking of this, I felt confused for a moment, and felt that the starlight falling from the clouds was no longer shining.
He looked quietly at the mountains not far away and fell silent for a moment.
The old Taoist priest looked at the expression on his face and couldn't help but sigh as he thought about the messy past that he didn't clean up.
He said leisurely: "From the day I met you, I told you not to provoke fate in the world. Those things will not help your future practice."
Listening to these words, Li Xiuyuan suddenly remembered the situation when Yuwen Liuli turned into a luan bird when he went berserk, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Looking up at the starry sky, he said quietly: "If I don't care about her, the girl will become a demon when she awakens the memory of the ancient Luan Bird."
The cold wind at the top of the Tianshan Mountains was like a knife, blowing Li Xiuyuan's body with thousands of swords. He felt like death was worse than death. Even so, he did not frown, nor did he use the phaseless golden body to resist the cold wind like a knife. .
Whether it's good or bad fate, he has to endure it.
These shadows made him feel uncomfortable, but what if he wanted to practice Buddhism himself?
You can't let a leaf blind you, right? The old monk finally took the leaf away from his eyes. How could he abandon his parents at the foot of Mount Sumeru for the sake of his own practice?
After all, everything hasn’t come to that day yet.
The old Taoist priest noticed the strangeness of his disciple and was slightly startled when he saw the brows gradually spreading on his face.
Then he asked: "So, have you figured it out?"
Li Xiuyuan pointed to the higher snow peak in front of him and said quietly: "I haven't climbed that mountain yet, I haven't conquered it yet, so naturally I don't know what it feels like to let go."
The Buddha said that one must let go in order to gain enlightenment, but Li Xiuyuan came to a completely different conclusion along the way.
This is all related to his past experience. In his opinion, if he hasn't got it yet, how can he let it go? What can you really let go of?
To break up with the father and mother who gave birth to him and the husband and wife who educated him?
And then told Mu Mu and Nangong Ruyu, who had been by his side since childhood and had been waiting for him for more than ten or a hundred years, that they were going to separate?
Finally, make a simple choice between the relatives and friends in the Five Realms, the friends in the Shura Heaven Realm, and all the relatives and friends in the Wild World and Nine Heavens?
And then tell all these people that they are just passers-by from now on?
Although Li Xiuyuan knew that sooner or later he would reach this point and make a break with the past.
However, that is definitely not the case now!
I haven't entered the mortal world yet, so how can I embark on the path of cultivating immortals and conquer the stars and the sea?
Not to mention the female saint on Rumei Mountain and the divine monk on Xuefeng Mountain.
I have been unkind and unrighteous in this life, and I am really not a good son to my parents, a good brother to my sister, a good brother in the eyes of my friends, and a good lover in the eyes of my lover.
In this moment, he seemed to have traveled through countless time and space and returned to the Tianshan Mountains at that time.
After Mr. Zai has been away for a long time, Li Hongxiu looks like a cuckoo cries blood in the quiet night of the empty mountain. He looks at the mountain in the middle of the night and mourns until the water has disappeared.
He was thinking about everything before and after, as if thousands of arrows had pierced his heart, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Seeing the white snow three feet in front of him turn red instantly, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but sigh deeply for his disciple.
In his endless years, it was always others who suffered.
But unexpectedly, when he saw that his disciple was so enlightened that he vomited blood, he couldn't help but sigh again and again.
Although the road ahead was difficult, as a master, he could not walk it on behalf of his disciples.
As the old monk said, there are countless difficulties, and Li Xiuyuan has to face and solve them in his own way.
Both the old monk and the old Taoist priest hope that Li Xiuyuan can find a completely different path from them.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Xiuyuan was freed from this emotion. He took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his mouth and blood stains. He looked at the old Taoist priest beside him and smiled bitterly.
He was thinking, how would Yuwen Liuli feel if he was not by her side next time she was possessed by the devil?
Can you suppress the urge in your heart by reciting Buddhist sutras?
"Master, I copied a volume of the Buddhist scriptures you gave to your disciples and gave them to the girl. I hope she can use the power of Buddhism to suppress her inner demons like my disciples. Is this the right thing to do?"
Li Xiuyuan thought about it and realized that this was the only thing he could do, because one day he would have to leave Xuanwu Continent.
Just like he was about to leave Long Potian and Xiao Ling'er in the blink of an eye.
The old Taoist priest sighed, looked at him and said with a smile: "That girl can meet you, it is really the blessing of the luanniao and the girl. Haven't you yourself been using Buddhism to suppress the evil spirits in your body?"
Li Xiuyuan was startled when he heard this, scratched his head and said, "That's because the disciple really doesn't have any good ideas, and the master is not with the disciple either?"
The old Taoist priest smiled slightly and said quietly: "You seem to have forgotten one thing. It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others."
Li Xiuyuan's heart moved when he heard this, thinking that these words were indeed a true reflection of his journey.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said with a grimace: "Master, your methods are so powerful, can't you wave your hand to remove the inner demons of the disciples? By the way, you can also remove the evil spirits from the disciples' bodies."
Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest looked at him with a gentle expression, shook his head and said, "No, that is your life and your calamity. How can your master help you to overcome this calamity?"
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he immediately became angry. He pointed at the stars in the sky and said, "They all say that Shidu is lost in time!"
The old Taoist priest was stunned, looked at him and said with a smile: "As a teacher, I want you to achieve enlightenment and self-transcendence!"
