The fat elder opened his mouth slightly. It wasn't until Li Xiuyuan returned to the tree to handle the black python that he said with a grimace, "I have to take some of this meat back to eat."
"Whatever." Li Xiuyuan cut it off smoothly and said, "I'll give you half, and you can clean it up yourself."
The fat elder's mouth opened even wider, and he said helplessly: "Isn't this not good? You want me to do it myself?"
Li Xiuyuan cut a large piece of meat and marinated it with salt and spices in a basin. He said, "How about you put it here, and I will ask Xiao Hei to clean it up tomorrow."
"Forget it, I don't dare bother that little guy."
The fat elder opened his eyes wide and said, "Maybe it's better to take it back to the kitchen later and let those guys help me deal with it slowly than leaving it here."
Are you kidding? If you leave it here, it will probably be done by the two of you in less than three days.
Xiao Hei lay aside and looked at him and said with a smile: "If you want to eat it, go catch it in the mountains!"
The fat elder looked at him and shook his head, thinking to himself, in this vast mountain, I can't fly, where can I find such delicious food?
Putting aside the dean's business, it was now his turn to have a drink.
Li Xiuyuan cut a piece of python meat and went to the kitchen to make soup. Then he lit a fire under the tree. He looked at the fat elder and smiled: "Do you want to break through the realm or ascend?"
The fat elder was startled when he heard this. He thought for a while and said, "I want to go with the dean, is that okay?"
"Is that so?" Li Xiuyuan looked at him with a smile and said, "But although I can cure the dean's injury, he will probably live here for many years before leaving. Are you willing to wait for him?"
There was something else in Li Xiuyuan's words. How could the fat elder not understand it? He thought that he had to go with the dean no matter what.
"I am not Chu Feng's uncle, and I have no ambition to be the dean."
The fat elder narrowed his eyes and said: "I just want to stay with the dean, even if I stay here in the back mountain for another few decades, it doesn't matter."
Seeing the way the dean fell asleep after applying the elixir, the fat elder couldn't help but feel relieved.
He rubbed his cheeks that were numb from exhaustion, leaned on the chair behind him, and murmured: "I'm afraid of ascension, so it's better to have a companion with the dean."
Li Xiuyuan nodded, thinking that in these years, he was the first monk he had seen who was willing to give up the ascension in front of him and stay to wait for his friends.
Although the fat elder was not friendly to him in the past, in his opinion, all he had to do was be nice to Wei Qing and the dean.
After all, I am just a passerby in the academy.
"That's fine. If the fat elder is with you, the dean will not be too lonely in the future."
In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, after settling the dean's matter and helping Wei Qing forge the sword, he would set off for Luoxia Mountain.
He wanted to take Xiao Hei to spend another winter on Luoxia Mountain, and then return to the Five Regions next year after seeing all the flowers on the mountain.
After a lot of busy work, Li Xiuyuan took a rest. It wasn't until Xiao Hei complained that he couldn't do it that he put the marinated meat on the fire to roast.
Li Xiuyuan took a vat of wine spirit and did not dare to give the fat elder a drink that was too good. However, after a few glasses, it would not be a problem to break through one or two small realms.
After that, he had no choice but to leave the elixir to the dean, and the two old men could fiddle with it on their own.
Xiao Hei is not picky about food, as long as there is meat, he will be satisfied. If he does not eat meat for three days, he will cry to the sky.
Smelling the strong aroma of wine, the fat elder immediately guessed that this must be the spiritual wine that could help him break through the realm.
Forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, he picked it up and tasted it carefully, and said in a daze: "These old guys, I would never have imagined that you are back."
"The strong wind knows the strong grass, not the wall grass."
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said tiredly, thinking that there would be such old people in the academy that seemed to pay attention to etiquette, justice and integrity.
That's fine, let the dean see clearly the cruelty of the world.
The fat elder drank a glass of wine tremblingly, feeling the powerful medicine dispersing rapidly in his body.
He couldn't help but asked in confusion: "I can't ascend in the daytime, can I?"
Li Xiuyuan was speechless for a moment and replied softly: "No, but you'd better eat two more pieces of meat quickly, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to make it back to the academy and will end up breaking out halfway."
Wangyue Stream was a small place, so he couldn't provide the fat elder with a place to spend the night.
For this reason, he even drove Wei Qing back.
The fat elder nodded, took the barbecue handed over by Li Xiuyuan, and sighed: "Okay, I'll have two more drinks and go back. I'll see you and the dean again in a few days."
Xiao Hei looked at him pitifully and said, "Brother, hurry up, Xiao Hei is hungry."
The fat elder opened his mouth wide, but could not speak. He thought where did you get a talking bird from?
Finally thinking about it, I had to sigh and say: "This is..."
Li Xiuyuan cut a piece of meat for Xiao Hei and said seriously: "Oh, this guy is my younger brother. He also went crazy while practicing, so he turned into a crow."
He estimated that no matter how he explained it, the fat elder would not believe it, so he could only use such rhetoric.
The fat elder looked at Xiao Hei who was lowering his head to eat meat, imagining him hunting the black python in the mountains.
He said in a trembling voice: "I didn't expect that you have a great younger brother, that's good."
Xiao Hei didn't bother to pay attention to his brother's explanation for him. He was very happy to be able to follow his brother around.
Otherwise, if you follow the master, you will definitely practice hard every day with that idiot Xiaobai.
Thinking of this, he looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Brother, is there a place to go shopping here?"
Li Xiuyuan found a bowl of python broth, carefully fed the dean a few mouthfuls, looked back at him and said, "When Junior Brother Wei Qing comes back, let him take you there."
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing when he saw Xiao Hei nodding thoughtfully.
Xindao is still a child at heart, just like Mu Mu back in Fangcun Mountain, he also likes to go shopping and buy food.
Fortunately, the bandit's lair was raided outside Ding'an City, and Ximen Lone Star gave this guy a lot of gold coins and spiritual stones.
It is estimated that it will take decades to spend with Xiaoheihua.
The sunset in the sky had not yet set. The red-faced elder stood up and smiled, collected the half of the black python meat on the ground, and staggered towards the academy.
"I'll come back in a few days."
"Elder, how about I, Xiaohei, take you back?"
"No, I'm not drunk, so I won't say thank you!"
"Watch the road carefully, don't fall into the mountain stream."
Looking at the fat elder who was gradually walking away, Li Xiuyuan fed the dean another half bowl of broth, carefully wiped the juice from the corners of his mouth, and laughed softly.
This was the first time for him to serve people.
Unexpectedly, for the first time, he would be his savior.
Putting down the bowl, he looked at Xiao Hei and said quietly: "This is the dean of the academy. My brother almost died at the hands of others back then. He saved my life..."
With nothing to do, Li Xiuyuan chatted with Xiao Hei about some of his grievances from the past.
Xiao Hei was so anxious that he said, "Next time I see that guy, Xiao Hei will avenge his brother."
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan said casually: "No need, my grudge with him was settled back then, and my fate with the academy ends here."
Xiao Hei ate a few pieces of barbecue and drank a bowl of soup. He said with a sad face: "Brother, I don't know when Xiao Hei will regain his human appearance."
"I guess this is Master's arrangement."
Li Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said quietly: "I'm talking about my master, the old Taoist priest, not Xiaobai and your master... Looking like this won't delay your practice, don't worry."
"I guess Master is afraid that your cultivation level is too high, and also thinks that I have no realm at all, so I imprisoned your body and asked you to accompany me back here, otherwise you can't go to that place."
Li Xiuyuan spent a while and told Xiao Hei that he was going to transform into a mortal.
After listening to half-understanding, Xiao Hei responded repeatedly, thinking that his two brothers could escape from the Dragon Valley, and it didn't matter to him where they went in the future.
Just like Mu Mu back then, he was satisfied as long as he followed Li Xiuyuan.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Xiao Hei shouted that he couldn't stand it anymore and flew into the house with a thump.
"Xiao Hei is going to bed again. I don't want to go out to play tomorrow. Brother, don't call me." Xiao Hei's voice came from the room. Regardless of whether Li Xiuyuan would reply, there was no movement for a while.
In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, such a black guy is good.
Perhaps the Three-Legged Golden Crow is just like Yuwen Liuli, which has been inherited by the ancient Luan Bird. It can break through the realm as long as it eats and sleeps.
There is also Jiang Ling'er in the prehistoric world. That guy is probably a goddess above the nine heavens, otherwise she wouldn't need someone like Long Potian to protect her.
After cleaning up the mess on the table, Xiao Hei's dream voice came from the room: "Brother, will the old man in the academy be like a bandit and come to scare Xiao Hei in the middle of the night?"
Li Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat, as if he remembered something, and nodded silently, thinking that he couldn't sleep peacefully tonight.
After clearing the dishes on the table and washing up, he walked outside Wangyue Stream.
A faint waxing moon in the sky illuminated the path on the mountain stream, reminding him of the ambush that happened here many years ago.
The killer invited by Qin Qianshan also came to assassinate him in the dark.
In the end, Xiao Qing used the two of him to kill him. Now, he will never allow such a thing to happen to him.
Walking in the mountains, he was thinking a lot. He thought that the old man lying under the eaves would recover in less than ten days and a half, and finally a faint smile appeared on his face.
The teachers and seniors he met in the Shura Realm ascended and left one after another, from the old Taoist priest Song Wuxin at the beginning to the master at the academy at the end.
After all, only the dean of the academy is left, and even Nangong Ruyu's mother, the mistress of Taoyuan, probably followed Song Tianyu to Phoenix Valley.
Thinking back to the days when he entered the academy, Li Xiuyuan lived a fulfilling life.
Although he was just chopping firewood in the kitchen, it was one of the few leisurely and quiet lives he had after being in the Shura Realm.
If he hadn't had Qin Qianshan change his ways to cause trouble for him, he would probably have lived and practiced quietly in the academy.
It took more than an hour to walk all the way, and finally three magic formations were set up several miles away from Wangyue Stream.
At least until the dean recovers and before he and Xiao Hei leave the academy, no one can come in and disturb their peaceful life.
Looking at the dim moonlight, Li Xiu sighed softly and said: "Since you have given up on the dean, don't disturb his practice again."
Returning to the old tree in the stone house, I drank two cups of herbal tea.
He took out his own lounge chair and placed it under the tree. He lay softly on it and looked up at the stars in the sky. He couldn't help but let his soul fly and flew towards the shaking stars in the night sky.
At present, Li Xiu's needle essence cultivation level is completely gone, and only the third level of the formless body is left. It is a great opportunity to absorb the starlight from the sky and transform the Star Vein Divine Sea.
After crossing the clouds and mist, he came to the star that had rejected him countless times. Looking at the stars in the sky, he couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Master, this disciple will definitely be able to do it."
Far away under the sky, Meng Shentong in the Sutra Library felt something in his heart and said quietly: "The days are long, don't be anxious, my teacher is waiting for you."
The Jade Lord on the bamboo peak frowned and asked softly: "Has my precious disciple already cultivated into the body of a star?"
The old man at the foot of the mountain smiled faintly: "Don't worry, you will know when he comes back here."
The stars above the nine heavens are faint, shining on people under different starry skies, and also shining on the young people whose hearts are above the nine heavens.
It's still early and there's still time.
