Li Xiuyuan asked Wang San to ask the craftsmen in the town to follow the old monk to choose a hillside in the back mountain with green mountains in the back and creeks in front.
Within a few days, the craftsmen were asked to carry the bluestone wood up and start hammering it.
Li Xiuyuan once asked the old monk how big the temple should be. Unexpectedly, the old monk said to him: "The temple is not big, it can only accommodate a few Buddhas."
Even so, Li Xiuyuan finally drew a drawing for Wang San according to the simplest rules, and asked him to lead the craftsmen to build a Buddhist temple, several living rooms, and a kitchen and utility room.
Wang San couldn't help but asked quietly: "Sir, what will we do if the old monk leaves?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, looked at him and said with a smile, "Why don't you become a monk and guard the temple?" After speaking, he laughed and replied calmly: "Build a phoenix nest, and phoenixes will naturally come."
Wang San then nodded and said with a secret smile: "I think Mingzhu and Ruyi will take more than ten years to grow up, so I guess this old Shang will have to stay for a long time."
After thinking about it, Li Xiuyuan sighed and said leisurely: "Don't say that if a temple is built on this mountain, there will be incense. It is my shop. Is it difficult to raise an additional old monk?"
Wang San chuckled, rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Sister Hong said that by next year and the year after that, the wine shop will be a money tree."
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan glared at him: "You are very optimistic about the construction progress of the temple in the back mountain. This wine shop will be your and Sister Hong's retirement home from now on."
Wang San was startled and asked quietly: "That's impossible. If you want to give it, you have to run it together with the shopkeeper!"
Li Xiuyuan sighed softly and said: "Look at how angry you are, where was your ability to throw the blame away when I met you?"
Wang San chuckled: "Now some of the goods have been sent to the blacksmith shop opposite, so there is no need to blame them."
Just as they were talking, the two of them had returned to the shop. The old monk sitting under the eaves waved to Li Xiuyuan and said, "Come over and make tea. I want to talk to you about something."
Wang San waved his hand and went to work in the nearby shop. Li Xiuyuan sat at the table and lit the small stove.
Sitting on the chair by the table, the old monk stared at the blue sky in a daze, thinking about how to teach Yeluming how to practice in the future.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan, he frowned and said, "When do you plan to let that girl start practicing?"
Li Xiuyuan took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands, took the spirit tea and dropped it into the pot.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "I have tempered her body twice and can gather Qi at any time."
The old monk shook his head, looked at him and said quietly: "How about you teach her how to practice swordsmanship, and I will teach her how to practice...? Otherwise, if you follow your method, she will not be able to cultivate the physical power of Buddhism?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at the old monk and said with a smile: "Monk, are you a dog? Or are you a god who can see through the secrets in my body?"
Li Xiuyuan was startled, and naturally realized that he could not teach others, and he did not have good skills to teach Yelu Mingzhu.
Otherwise, Nangong Ruyu would not have followed Song Tianyu to practice in the end. She could only brew some spiritual wine and mix some spiritual medicine to help them break through.
When it comes to practicing martial arts, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a real idiot.
Seeing that the old monk was willing to teach Yelu Mingzhu how to practice, he was naturally happy.
But despite this, he couldn't help but ask: "What is practice?"
The old monk smiled when he heard this: "Old man, I accidentally got a method of cultivating the body of the stars. I want to find a successor. By the way, do you want to practice with your little disciple?"
"Star body?" Li Xiuyuan was startled.
Then he shook his head thoughtfully and replied resolutely: "I'll forget it. I came back here to understand the power of heaven and earth. Just trouble the old monk to teach us disciples."
Regardless of whether the old monk had the method of cultivating the body of the stars or not, Li Xiuyuan did not know how to practice it. He had already learned the method of the stars from Meng Shentong.
Secondly, the old Taoist priest gave him the task of transforming into a mortal in the five realms. He didn't want to put the cart before the horse, which would probably end up being too much gain and delaying his own practice.
But Yelu Mingzhu can give it a try. After all, she has not yet gathered her energy, and she is just a blank piece of paper.
What kind of skills you practice depends entirely on the master who leads the way.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan finally couldn't help but sigh softly: "Monk, if you can really let Mingzhu cultivate the body of the stars, I will owe you a favor."
The old monk shook his head and said quietly: "You built a temple for the town, so you don't owe the monk any favors."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at him and laughed: "Could it be that you are thinking about my wine? My black bean wine is not worth a few taels of silver, isn't it?"
The old monk ignored him and just said softly: "Let the little girl endure some hardship during the summer and autumn, and let her slowly practice swordsmanship with you in the winter."
Li Xiuyuan naturally would not doubt the old monk's ability, because even with his delusional eyes, he could not see clearly where the old monk came from.
He only encountered this situation twice, and one of them was his master, the old Taoist priest.
As for my cultivation of the star body, it was taught by Meng Shentong. There was no need for the old Taoist priest to dress up as a monk and teach Yelu Mingzhu.
Thinking of this, he didn't bother to think about it.
Just as the old monk said, if Yelv Mingzhu practices this worldly method with him, it will be difficult for him to reach a higher realm of cultivation.
The people around them had different opportunities to practice. Just like Wang Yi and Fu Sheng, the two little guys were already in the middle stage of Qi Gathering.
After much deliberation, the old monk really came here specifically for the Yelu Pearl.
Is it possible that everything happens by God’s will?
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but look at the sky and murmured to himself: "Master, why don't you say something?"
There are white clouds in the sky. How can there be any response from the old Taoist priest?
The old monk laughed, looked at him and said, "Master is just showing you how to get started. Cultivation depends on the individual. It is better to seek help from others than to seek help from yourself. Don't you understand this?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and murmured: "It's okay, my master is unreliable. Even if I scold him, he can hear me and is not afraid."
Ever since he came to the Five Realms, the old Taoist priest has disappeared, no different from herding sheep.
If it wasn't for the purpose of taking away the old man in the Samsara Tower, he probably wouldn't have even left a message with him. Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan naturally couldn't help but complain.
He thought to himself, "You are still waiting for me to fight with the master and disciple of the playboy from Mount Xumi."
Upon hearing this, the old monk burst out laughing and said, "If I were your master, I would definitely give you a good beating first. Speaking of respecting teachers, where have you learned it?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you are not my master."
So that evening, Yelu Mingzhu, who came back from playing with Wang Ruyi in the back mountain, kowtowed three times to the old monk.
The old monk looked at her and smiled and said: "Okay, you will be the only disciple after becoming my master, and all my skills will be passed on to you!"
Yelu Mingzhu laughed when she heard this, and asked in a sweet voice, "Can Mingzhu be more powerful than Master?"
The old monk was stunned, glanced at Li Xiuyuan who was smiling and said nothing, and shook his head: "If you practice hard for a hundred years, you should be able to tie with him, right?"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Hua Luo Yu, even Ouyang Dongli was startled. He knew something about his disciple's abilities.
If this is really the case, can you imagine how incredible the cultivation level of the old monk in front of you is?
Thinking of this, Ouyang Dongli asked shamelessly: "Senior, please accept Dongli as a disciple. I am willing to practice with the master sincerely."
This time it was Hua Luoyu's turn to be surprised. She had never expected that her husband would be like this. It seemed that this old monk was really unfathomable.
Thinking of this, she glanced at Li Xiuyuan who was making tea, but saw that this guy was completely calm.
It seems that it is normal for his master to take the old monk as his master.
The old monk shook his head, looked at Ouyang Dongli and smiled lightly: "If you meet me before returning to the Five Realms, I might not be able to accept you as my disciple."
"Master, please clarify." Ouyang Dongli stood up and replied with his hands clasped, a solemn look on his face.
Lao Shang sighed, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and said leisurely: "Don't forget your original intention of coming back here, and this guy has handed over all these principles to you."
"In that case, what else can I say to you?"
The old monk looked at Ouyang Dongli and said seriously: "There are successive generations of people who hear the Tao. If you have such a powerful disciple, just follow him and practice hard!"
At this time, it was Hua Luoyu and Ouyang Dongli's turn to be in a daze. They thought a lot, but they did not expect that the old monk had such a high opinion of his disciple.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, and while pouring spiritual tea into the cups of the three of them, he said to Yelu Mingzhu: "Go and play with Ruyi, and let your old monk teach you the exercises tonight."
Seeing Yelu Mingzhu running into the living room next door, Li Xiuyuan looked at the old monk and asked: "I have another senior brother in Prajna Temple. Maybe he has gone down the mountain to Qingliang Temple in Baiyu City."
In his opinion, senior brother Minghui may not be unable to inherit the legacy of the old monk.
Unexpectedly, the old monk still shook his head and smiled: "That monk is too stupid. At most, he can only be regarded as half of my disciples. It's a pity that you refuse to join my Buddhist sect."
Li Xiuyuan laughed when he heard it, looked at him and replied quietly: "I have too many debts. My parents are still in the Apricot Blossom Valley, so I can't enter Buddhism."
The old monk was stunned and speechless for a moment.
He was stunned for a while while holding a cup of spiritual tea, and then murmured: "Even if you don't enter Buddhism, you can still be inseparable from the blessing of Buddhism, so you are still a disciple of Buddhism."
Ouyang Dongli was deeply shocked when he saw that the old monk rejected him, and even Master Minghui of Prajna Temple could only be regarded as a half disciple.
Looking at the two of them, he frowned and said, "Master, do you know my intention when I come back here? So, how can this junior maintain self-control and practice?"
The old monk pointed at Li Xiuyuan and said, "How do you cultivate if he cultivates? Hasn't this guy already told you the truth?"
Ouyang Dongli nodded thoughtfully, looked at Hua Luoyu and grinned: "It seems that our return here is indeed a correct decision."
The old monk sighed and said leisurely: "You made a right decision, but if you don't have the right way to practice, your busy work will be in vain in the end."
After saying that, he looked at Li Xiuyuan who was smiling and silent and asked, "Do you think this is true?"
…
It was half past the Xu period, and the sky was full of stars illuminating the town.
The old monk led Yelu Mingzhu to sit under the apricot tree in the small courtyard to enjoy the shade. He pointed at the seven stars in the sky and said with a smile, "Mingzhu, I will teach you how to look at the stars in the sky tonight."
After spending a while, the old monk introduced the positions of the seven stars in the sky to Yelu Pearl one by one.
It wasn't until the little girl said she remembered it that she nodded with satisfaction.
Yelu Mingzhu thought for a while, looked at the old monk and asked, "Master, does my master know how to look at the stars in the sky?"
The old monk nodded and said with a smile: "He, he should have understood the stars in the sky long ago."
Yelu Mingzhu nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "Since Master has learned it, Mingzhu must also remember these stars."
Unknowingly, Yelu Mingzhu regarded her master as the goal of her future practice.
However, just when Li Xiuyuan in the room was surprised, the old monk smiled and said nothing.
Yelu Mingzhu pointed to the brightest star above Tianshu Star and asked, "Master, what star is that?"
When the old monk heard this, he looked up and couldn't help but tremble.
But Li Xiuyuan's warm voice came to Yelu Mingzhu's ears: "That's the North Star."
