The two stayed in the back mountain for five days, and Li Xiuyuan finally gave up his plan to enter the cold pool to temper his body.
He didn't know if his current physical body could carry the ten thousand-year cold pool in the cave. If Nangong Ruyu's mother hadn't taken action last time, he might have died there.
Xiao Hei didn't even dare to go in. He just tested the water and exclaimed.
Like Mu Mu, he yelled that my brother wanted me to murder Xiao Hei.
Li Xiuyuan was so angry that he waved his hand and threw him out: "No matter what, I went in twice back then, but you are still an ancient divine bird, and you are so scared of death."
The elixir on Cun Mountain below them had long lost its appeal to the two of them, but Xiao Hei went to catch a yellow sheep on the mountain.
When the two returned to the Qingshi Courtyard, the autumn pears on the trees were already exuding fragrance.
It has been almost ten days since we returned to Fangcun Mountain, and the honey Xiao Hei found in the mountain finally came in handy.
Li Xiuyuan dug a pit with the goat's internal organs and blood and buried it under the green pear tree.
Looking at Xiao Hei, he said: "With these things, next year's green pears will be even more delicious."
Xiao Hei kept watching Li Xiuyuan pick green pears, add honey to the wine vat and marinate them, while clamoring for hot pot.
Li Geyuan cut two plates of yellow mutton, took out the spices and cooked a pot of thick soup, blanched a few pieces of yellow mutton and put them in Xiao Hei's bowl.
Listening to the whistling wind in the mountains, he said angrily: "Xiao Hei, you haven't changed your shape all this time. I've almost become your nanny."
Xiao Hei ate a piece of yellow mutton and let out a cry of comfort.
Then he flapped his golden wings and said, "Brother, just be content. Xiao Hei is a master who can hunt and protect my brother."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at him and said with a smile: "This world does not need you to take action. You just need to stay with me and don't go outside to cause trouble."
In the words of the old Taoist priest, every time he takes action, the time he stays here will be reduced.
In other words, every time he takes action, he will age five years, or even ten years...
If he had not completed the cultivation of becoming a mortal here, he would have grown old and probably would have been kicked out of the Five Realms by the Heavenly Dao here.
Thus, the possibility of entering the realm of a holy monk in Xuefeng Mountain is forever lost.
The old Taoist priest was in such a hurry that he even forgot to ask Xiao Hei if he would encounter any trouble if he took action in the Five Realms.
Xiao Hei's thoughts were simple. After experiencing the incident in Shenlong Valley, he just wanted to be with Li Xiuyuan.
At least I don't have to worry about being chased or starving at every turn, and I can still watch the beautiful scenery with my brother.
Thinking about what he had experienced over the years, his reliance on Li Xiuyuan was no different than his master Long Qingfeng.
"This hot pot is so delicious." Xiao Hei praised with satisfaction: "It's better to stay with my brother."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't be too happy too early. When I find a place to calm down, I will have to teach you how to read and write."
After meeting many relatives and friends in the Five Realms, he planned to find a quiet place to live in Chang'an City, without blood and hatred.
Even like the monk Buli from Tongtian River, he turned himself into a mortal.
Gradually forgotten by the friends around him, the turmoil in the five regions was reduced to a life of daily necessities.
"Brother, Xiao Hei is full."
After drinking two glasses of wine, Xiao Hei suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "Brother, are we going to the temple on the other side of the mountain in a few days?"
When Xiao Hei was bored these days, he walked around Xuantian Temple and even went to Zeng Prajna Temple.
He became quiet now, turning his head and waiting to hear Li Xiuyuan's reply.
"Tomorrow, let's go tomorrow." Li Xiuyuan went to the place where Ouyang Dongli once lived, and found that the wooden house was in disrepair and collapsed. A sad feeling came to his heart.
It turns out that things change and people change, it really just happens in the blink of an eye.
After thinking for a while, he added: "I may have to stay in Prajna Temple for a long time. The senior brothers in the temple are kind and we are all vegetarians."
Xiao Hei was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said in disbelief: "Brother, do you want to starve Xiao Hei to death?"
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he pointed to the sky and said, "The sky is high and birds can fly. You can eat outside and then come back."
When Xiao Hei heard this, he immediately trembled in pain: "When has Xiao Hei ever eaten raw meat? Brother, you are torturing me in a different way."
"You can also be vegetarian with me?!"
Li Xiuyuan touched the glowing feathers on his head and smiled lightly.
…
Riding on a mountain of autumn wind, scaring away countless wild beasts, the two finally arrived outside the mountain gate of Prajna Temple.
It was past noon, and all the monks who had finished their fast had returned to their meditation rooms to rest. There was no young monk Wuyou sitting in front of the main hall in a daze in front of the mountain gate.
There is no such thing as the monk Wu Xin who sat beside the lotus pond for three days without moving.
Xiao Hei looked at the solemn treasure temple and did not dare to exclaim loudly. He lay on Li Xiuyuan's shoulders and the two of them walked around the main hall and towards the small courtyard in the back mountain.
Li Xiuyuan planned to tidy up the house where he lived back then, and then go to the Buddhist hall to meet his senior brother later.
He was timid about being close to his hometown, and Prajna Temple was also the hometown in his dreams.
Looking at the familiar courtyard in front of him, Li Xiuyuan suddenly had the illusion of a monk pushing the moon out of the door. Looking back on the way back and forth, he saw only the autumn wind, and there was not even half a human figure anywhere.
There is no lock on the door. It must be that the senior brother often has people come to clean the courtyard.
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan gently pushed open the door of the small courtyard... Looking up, he found that his senior brother Minghui was looking at him and smiling at him under the old tree in the courtyard.
There is a pot of spring water boiling on the stone table. It is obvious that the senior brother has been waiting for me here for a long time.
"Uh...senior brother, I miss you."
Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Xiuyuan suddenly woke up, stepped forward in a panic and bowed deeply to the ground.
He looked at Minghui and said, "Senior brother, how do you know I'm back? Are you a god?"
When Minghui heard this, she immediately said angrily: "Didn't you say you missed me in the small courtyard of Xuantian Temple? No, I've been sitting here for countless days, and I didn't expect you to come back after you've had enough fun..."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, his face immediately showed shame, and he quickly said to Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei, this is my senior brother Ming Hui, call someone quickly."
Minghui raised her eyebrows and looked at the crow with golden feathers in front of her. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Your brother? How can your brother be a crow?"
"Quack! Senior brother, Xiao Hei was still a divine dragon before!" Xiao Hei quit and quickly corrected his identity.
Li Xiuyuan touched Xiao Hei's feathers and said bitterly: "Senior brother, it's a long story. My younger brother was the immortal dragon soul in the back mountain of Xuantian Temple..."
After spending a while, Li Xiuyuan briefly introduced Xiao Hei's past and present lives.
In front of Senior Brother Minghui, he didn't want to hide everything about Xiao Hei.
Minghui took a breath of air and looked at the crow in front of her in disbelief.
I wonder what kind of courage my junior brother has, actually turning a half-dead dragon soul into a divine dragon, and then evolving into the ancient three-legged golden crow.
This is absolutely impossible to happen in the Five Realms.
Li Xiuyuan sorted out his thoughts, looked at Minghui and said, "The way he looks, he is probably imprisoned by my master and can only be released after I leave the Five Realms."
"Your master? Are you talking about Mr. Mo back then?" Minghui asked after thinking about it.
"That's my husband. The husband and his wife have already ascended to the foot of Mount Sumeru."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and replied: "My master is a unique existence in heaven and earth."
He did not elaborate on the old Taoist priest, because even Minghui couldn't understand it.
Xiao Hei glared at him and said, "Brother, it's okay. Xiao Hei is already used to this body. It feels really good to fly in the sky."
What Xiaohei really wants to tell Minghui is, don't look at me like this, I have been to many places in the mountains these days.
"Would you like to sleep? I'll take you to see your room."
Li Xiuyuan reached out and grabbed Xiao Hei and walked to the room while saying: "This is a Buddhist temple, not like Xuantian Temple. Why don't you just sleep seriously for a few days?"
"I'm going to go out to play after a while." Xiao Hei lay on the bed and said eagerly: "Xiao Hei doesn't want to sleep anymore."
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand. He smiled and said, "Whatever you want, I want to chat with my senior brother for a while, and you are not allowed to interrupt."
…
Back in the yard, Minghui had already stood up, looked at him and said with a smile: "Let's go and sit at my place for a while."
Li Xiuyuan turned around and greeted the room: "Xiao Hei, I'm going to sit in senior brother's Buddhist hall. Please stop running around."
"Guagua, brother, please don't disturb Xiaohei's sleep."
Xiao Hei was happy to be quiet, but he was worried that he would sneak away to the back hill to play for a while. Who could care about me?
Minghui turned around and looked at Li Xiuyuan who had closed the door. The corners of her mouth moved slightly, but finally gave up.
The junior brother has just come back, and he doesn't want to talk about this troublesome matter yet.
The two returned to the Buddhist hall in Lianghui. Li Xiuyuan picked up the kettle on the table and boiled water. He planned to cook a cold plum tea for his senior brother and talk to him about the principles of future practice.
Based on the experience of the old monk from Xuefeng Mountain, he wanted his senior brothers to try to enter the realm of mortal transformation in Prajna Temple or in the human world of the five realms.
The moment Minghui stood up to light incense and put it in the incense burner, Li Xiuyuan poured two cups of divine spring into the kettle.
He couldn't change the rules of the Five Realms of Heaven, but he could give his senior brother a chance to understand the way of Heaven and change his acquired physique.
Silently, Li Xiuyuan dropped two pieces of spiritual tea into the pot, and waited until the water boiled for his senior brother to try to understand the realm and power of the saint.
However, before the water on the stove boiled, there was a sound of footsteps outside the Buddhist hall: "Senior brother, didn't you say that my junior brother has come back?"
Li Xiuye looked up and saw Wuyou and Wuxin's master Mingjue walking in.
Smelling the faint cold fragrance and looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar young man in front of him, Mingjue looked up and asked, "Who are you? Why are you sitting here?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, picked up an extra teacup and put it on the table, extending his hand to invite it.
He said quietly: "We haven't seen each other for ten years, has Senior Brother already forgotten me?"
Mingjue was startled when she heard Li Xiuyuan's voice. She grabbed his little hand and began to comprehend it carefully.
He shook his head for a moment, looked at Minghui and said, "No, junior brother, when you left, the formless body was already perfected. Why is the state completely gone?"
Minghui looked at him and smiled bitterly: "You ask me? Who am I asking? Senior brother just walked in, and you followed him after smelling the smell."
Li Xiuyuan lowered his head and pondered for a long time. While carrying the boiling spring water and dropping it into the purple clay pot, he said softly: "Drink tea first, and then talk."
Seeing the still confused expressions of the two of them, Li Xiuyuan could only explain: "I will only drink tea today. If I have anything to say, I will discuss it in detail tomorrow."
After saying that, he slowly poured spiritual tea into the teacups in front of the two of them.
As the faint fragrance of cold plums filled the Buddhist hall, even Ming Jue was deeply shocked.
As if they understood something, Ming Jue and Ming Hui clasped their hands together and said quietly: "What I'm talking about is, when you have tea, drink tea to be grateful for your junior brother's compassion."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two and smiled lightly.
He picked up a cup of spiritual tea and said softly: "After drinking this cup of cold plum spiritual tea, I hope that the two senior brothers can understand the laws of heaven in the five realms."
Mingjue shook his head and took a sip in disbelief.
Minghui Xindao, even the enlightenment tea I gave you to drink back then, still can't you comprehend the power of the laws of heaven?
However, when the two of them drank a cup of spiritual tea, they were so stunned that they could no longer speak.
