The master and the disciple drank three cups of spiritual tea. The old Taoist priest thought for a while, looked at him and said seriously: "Are you planning to go back next spring?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and replied softly: "Wait until spring, after seeing the flowers on this mountain, brew some spiritual wine, and then go back."
Thinking of this, he took three jars of different spirits and placed them on the table, and laughed quietly.
"These three jars are spiritual wine brewed by disciples in different heavens and at different times. With the big man here, Master must not be short of wine."
The old Taoist priest laughed when he heard this, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Now, the old monk is blessed."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, then took out another jar of medicinal wine, played with it like a treasure for a while, and then gently pushed it in front of the old Taoist priest.
He said quietly: "Originally, I wanted to give it to my parents and husband in person after taking the road to heaven...but then I thought about it, time waits for no one."
After much deliberation, Li Xiuyuan just had to trouble his master to take a trip to Xinghua Valley.
No matter what kind of ups and downs he will face in the future, he must let them improve their cultivation first, otherwise they will eventually be controlled by heaven and man.
The old Taoist reached out to touch the vat of medicinal wine in front of him, looked at him and asked, "Is this brewed in Loulan?"
"I put the elixir brought back from the wilderness. This is the only medicinal wine in heaven and earth. I hope it can help my relatives in the Apricot Blossom Valley..."
Sighing, Li Xiuyuan continued: "This wine is very potent. One cup is enough for each of them. Any more would be a waste."
After much calculation, even with Song Tianyu, Li Mingzhu, Nangong Xuanyuan and others, this jar of medicinal wine is enough.
The old Taoist priest looked at him and said with a smile: "Although you travel all over the world alone, your heart will always care about them. As a son, brother, student, or friend, you don't owe them anything."
In the opinion of the old Taoist priest, even the gentleman in Xinghua Valley did not teach his disciple many skills.
Not to mention looking for a group of friends who don't give and only know how to take.
Along the way, the old Taoist priest watched his disciple silently from the sky. He never saw Li Xiuyuan asking for anything from others.
It's on the Wangchuan Bridge, in Huangquan Village.
My disciple also fulfilled his promise to the woman and stood up for her on the Forgotten River Bridge for a hundred years.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How can I say, my parents gave me life as a disciple, my husband gave me the direction of practice, and those friends accompanied me on the road of practice. That's enough."
With just the simplest words, all the thoughts in my heart were put into this vat of wine.
Even if one day he has to make a choice, every day before that, he is still his father's son, his teacher's disciple, and his sister's brother...
The old Taoist priest quietly put away the spiritual wine on the table, looked at him and said, "I have already given you your Shura Sword, including your Eye of Deception."
Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at him and asked, "Is it possible that the disciple will encounter danger in the five realms?"
"Bullshit, I asked you to think about forging a mortal sword again after you go home. What are you thinking about?"
Sighing, the old Taoist priest continued: "The laws of heaven are different there. I'm afraid you won't be able to take action casually after you go there."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied: "Disciple understands this matter. Mr. has never made any move in the Five Realms back then."
The old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "That's because you, the disciple, take action for him... Remember, every time you take action, you will age a few years. This is the punishment of heaven over there! "
Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at him and said in a daze: "Isn't it true that the disciples can only take a look when they go back? Even if they are in danger or encounter a life-or-death crisis for their friends around them, they cannot take action."
"Remember, you went to the Five Realms to transform into a mortal and use a mortal's mind to understand the laws of heaven and earth. You were not asked to fight in all directions and kill everyone." "Every time you take action, your life will disappear for several years. , which means that your time to stay in the Five Realms to transform into mortals will be shortened by a few years, so think about it yourself."
The old Taoist priest pointed outside the house and said: "You don't need to pay too much attention to that girl's path in the future. I have imprinted the method of Phoenix Nirvana into her divine sea."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said with a wry smile: "She was my disciple's childhood friend, but I didn't expect that she would end up like this, being framed by her closest relatives..."
"That was her own choice at the time. People always have to pay the price for their choices... Remember, you don't have much time in the Five Realms. You have to come back here before the Pilgrim Apocalypse."
The old Taoist priest drank up the remaining flowers in the cup, turned into a breeze, and disappeared in front of the confused Li Xiuyuan.
The cold wind was still blowing outside the hall, and the oil lamp on the table was gently swaying.
If there hadn't been an extra teacup on the table, and if the spiritual wine hadn't disappeared on the table, Li Xiuyuan would have almost had the illusion that his master had never been here.
The phantom of the phoenix in the sky had long since disappeared, and the consciousness released by Li Xiuyuan told him that Dongfang Yu'er in the room had transformed into a cocoon in Nirvana.
After surviving the long night, the moment will come when she breaks out of her cocoon and becomes a butterfly.
Not long after, the voice of the old Taoist priest came to my ears again: "That girl is too weak. You have to dilute the divine spring from time to time, add some elixir, and penetrate it into the cocoon."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, thinking that you are too lenient. Disciples naturally understand these things. After all, I am also at level six.
At present, Dongfang Yu'er has just come back from the brink of death, so naturally she cannot withstand the test of the long winter.
Waving his hand, Li Xiuyuan murmured to himself: "It seems that we have to set up a ban outside her house."
At least, before Dongfang Yuer completes Nirvana, she cannot be disturbed by other people.
…
There is snow in winter.
There were still two days before the snowy season, and snowflakes began to fall on Luoxia Mountain. Compared with the few scattered ones in the past, they finally had a bit more of a chilly winter feel.
Li Xiuyuan, who got up early, did not practice his sword. Instead, he went to the cellar to get two jars of wine, washed himself, and headed down the mountain.
After solving Dongfang Yu'er's trouble, he had to go down the mountain to see those guys who came to cause trouble.
Fortunately, Li Yun was watching from the bottom of the mountain, otherwise these guys would probably annoy old man Zhang to death.
Just after Chen hour, before he reached the wooden house, there was a burst of laughter.
Walking up the steps, looking at Chu Feng who was sitting outside the door looking at the sky with a sleepy look on his face, he sighed softly.
Chu Feng was stunned and looked at the young man in front of him. His eyes fell on Li Xiuyuan's hands holding the urn, intentionally or unintentionally.
The hands are as slender as white jade, without a trace of calluses from holding a sword for a long time, and are even more beautiful than a girl's embroidery hands.
Even when they were fighting to the death in an unknown land, and when they finally saw their master, their hands were not as slender and white as before.
Looking at the guy in front of him without a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation, he finally believed what Li Yun said. This guy instantly became a mortal.
A mortal who can truly pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger can trick thousands of monks to death.
Thinking of this, his sinking eyes gradually became filled with passion, wanting to have a fight with the guy in front of him.
However, when he yelled and stretched out his hands, he grabbed the two jars of wine in front of him.
He laughed loudly and said: "Hua Tianyu, you have some wine!"
There was a banging sound coming from the room, and within a moment, three women rushed out together with Hua Tianyu.
Looking at the smiling young man, Hua Tianyu couldn't help but laugh strangely.
"Oh my God, please let down a bolt of lightning and kill him!"
Li Yun was not surprised, she took Li Xiuyuan's hand and walked into the house, smiling and saying: "You came just in time, the morning porridge has just been cooked." When Chu Shangyan came up, he reached out to touch Li Xiuyuan's face, but he gently Stopped gently.
Looking at Hua Chenyu, he smiled and said, "So much time has passed in the blink of an eye, and I haven't seen any improvement in your cultivation. This..."
He didn't say the following words. Even if he didn't say it, these guys must understand that if they don't enter the extraordinary world, they will die if they go to the heaven.
When Hua Chenyu heard this, he immediately quit and yelled with curled lips: "You can only laugh at me, what about yourself? You have become a mortal again."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two women with a half-smile but was pulled into the room by Li Yun and sat down at the table.
Carefully asked: "Where is Yu'er?"
Li Xiuyuan lowered his eyes slightly, but sighed in his heart, thinking about whether to tell the guys in front of him about Dongfang Yu'er.
After much deliberation, I gave up this idea, and let's wait until Dongfang Yu'er has passed her Nirvana after spring.
By that time, with the Phoenix Nirvana Divine Fire, she had some ability to protect herself, and she was no longer afraid of being remembered.
"She was seriously injured and needs to rest now. I'm afraid we won't be able to see you again before spring."
He raised his head, looked at the surprised expressions of the three women in front of him with calm eyes, and shook his head gently.
He continued: "Don't ask too many questions. Things that you should know will naturally not be hidden."
After hearing this, the three women were finally a little moved, and they all sighed and said, "Is there any cure? Can it be restored to its previous appearance?"
After all, in the eyes of the three of them, the most terrifying thing about a woman with no cultivation is not that she loses her beauty, but that there is no greater sorrow than the death of her heart.
Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "I don't know. She needs more time to rest now. None of you should disturb her until she comes out of seclusion."
Li Yun listened to Li Xiuyuan and stood up slowly.
Looking at the flying snow outside the house, he asked, "Where is that guy Qin Qianshan?"
Chu Feng's heart was filled with fear. Although his face was calm, he could hear the strong murderous intent in Li Yun's words and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Chu Feng shaking his head, and couldn't help but feel anger rising in his heart.
I really want to beat him up to relieve my anger first and then talk about the dragon body.
When Chu Feiyan saw that something was wrong, she quickly took Li Xiuyuan's hand and asked, "What exactly happened to you during your trip to Taoyuan?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "What can happen? Isn't it just burning all the peach trees with a fire, and killing the heartless devil with a sword!"
In his opinion, his trip to Taoyuan was really not worth showing off. For many reasons, he did not want to express his inner anger or reveal a trace of sadness.
Unexpectedly, less than a year after Nangong Ruyu and her daughter left, the entire Taoyuan would be completely destroyed by Qin Qianshan.
"So, Taoyuan is gone? Wouldn't that be a pity?"
Chu Feiyan looked at the young man in front of him and sighed quietly: "I never expected that Qin Qianshan would be such a person."
"What are your plans? Taoyuan must have an owner." Li Yun thought for a while and asked with a frown.
Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said, "You should know how to deal with things later. You can go back now, or you can go back in the spring..."
From this moment on, Taoyuan's affairs have nothing to do with him anymore.
As a master, he cleaned up the troubles in Taoyuan for Nangong Ruyu and her mother!
As a friend, he pulled Li Yun back from the brink of death.
As his childhood sweetheart, he helped Dongfang Yu'er survive death, help her bid farewell to the past, and regain a new life in the form of nirvana.
He has done enough. Next, he wants to enjoy his last quiet days on Luoxia Mountain.
Everything is just waiting for the spring breeze to blow and all things to come into being.
