"Nothing should be taken to an extreme. As the saying goes, things must be reversed when they reach their extremes. Only when the three religions coexist harmoniously can we create a harmonious world for all living beings."
Sighing faintly, Li Xiuyuan said in a daze: "In this way, these principles that have disappeared in the long river of time can also be understood as three hearts."
Just as she was sighing to herself, Hua Yu, who had finished practicing her sword, walked in and frowned at Li Xiuyuan. In her opinion, since the old man was her brother's godfather and master, he was the same as her.
Thinking about the sigh he heard, he couldn't help but ask: "Godfather, what is three hearts?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then put down the book in his hand and said with a faint smile: "Of course it is Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism."
"In my opinion, Confucianism is culture and thought; Tao is the standard, the measure of how to be a person and do things; Buddha is compassion, teaching people to care for others..."
Li Xiuyuan explained his understanding to Hua Yu, then pointed to the bookshelf behind him and said: "Read more classics and don't be misled by one book or one method."
"When your brother was studying, his teacher was a gentleman in the school. Later, he followed me and started practicing in a hurry. Before I could explain many of these principles to him, he went down the mountain to southern Xinjiang."
Li Xiuyuan sighed, thinking that the books he brought back from another world would allow the two women in front of him to read more.
When I return to Xinghua Valley, all these books will be given to my husband and a group of brothers and sisters.
Hua Yu looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled lightly: "I didn't read much in the past, but now I feel so hard looking at my godfather's mountain of books!"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said quietly: "Don't you have a sword in your hand? Can you strike him with a sword?"
Before Hua Yu could reply, Tantai Xiaoyu walked in from outside the door and asked in a daze: "How to chop this mountain of books with a sword?"
"There are thousands of paths in the mountain of books, but you may not like every one of them. You can just chop him in the head and read the book you like first. Just like Watson did in the past, before learning the sword, he first learned poetry from his husband. "
Li Xiuyuan thought of Watson's appearance back then and said quietly: "At that time, your brother went to school half the day and practiced with the blacksmith master the other half."
Tantai Xiaoyu nodded and said with a smile: "However, in the end he still practiced swordsmanship with his senior."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at the two girls and said softly: "Then do you want to learn more knowledge? Or do you want to practice swordsmanship to a higher level?"
After hearing this, Hua Yu couldn't help but said softly: "Since godfather has a mountain of books here, naturally he spends half the day studying and half the day practicing."
So, after the two women slashed the mountain of books behind Li Xiuyuan with their swords, they dived in.
Every morning I wield my sword to cut the snow, and in the afternoon I enjoy a leisurely stroll in the Book Mountain.
It wasn't until Li Xiuyuan prepared the elixir to temper the bodies of the two women several times, and gave them two cups of the spiritual wine brewed in the back hill of the academy, that the two women could break through several realms again.
Only then did Hua Yu remember that the two of them had been sitting in the temple in awe, looking at the spring in the mountain of books.
Looking at her godfather who was wearing a thin shirt and standing on the relief platform, Hua Yu couldn't help but frown: "Godfather, are you cold? Why are you wearing so little?"
After saying this, Hua Yu glanced at the animal skin robe she was wearing and felt a little out of place.
Even Tantai Xiaoyu didn't understand why the old man looked like a candle in the wind, but he looked down upon the flying snow in Tianshan Mountain with a thin gown?
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said quietly: "When I was less than six years old, I went to Tianshan Mountain with my husband to practice. Before you came, this place was still a wooden house..."
Hua Yu was stunned and speechless.
It turns out that my godfather is also a monk in this world. He was the same age as his elder brother when he went to Yunqi Temple, so he followed his husband to Tianshan to practice.
If his godfather hadn't lied to him, then the temple in front of him was built out of thin air after his brother came down from the mountain.
Even so, on this cold Tianshan Mountain, it is also a miracle.
Thinking of this, Hua Yu couldn't help but said: "So, this temple was not built by my godfather?"
Li Xiuyuan was amused, looked at her and laughed: "Look at my godfather's appearance, how can he have the strength to build a temple in Xinghua Valley? Of course he is the old monk you saw that day..."
Hua Yu grinned and said, "It seems that the next time I see my senior, I will have to practice hard with him for a few years."
While they were talking, Tantai Xiaoyu came out, looked at the two of them and said, "Hua Yu, are you thinking too much? The old monk is like a god, I'm afraid he won't pay attention to you?"
"The old monk has only one disciple. She is also your brother's sister, her name is Yelu Mingzhu."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two women and said quietly: "He probably won't accept disciples in this world. It's not impossible to just let him guide you two in practice."
Seeing the embarrassment of the two women, Li Xiuyuan sighed softly and said: "The old monk is not from this world, and being able to accept the pearl is already an exception."
Hua Yu came back to her senses and nodded thoughtfully.
Looking at the falling snowflakes in the sky, he said softly: "That's right. It's already a good thing that we can meet our seniors. Naturally, we can't expect anything else."
"Junior sister, you are too greedy. It is a good thing that we can practice here!"
Tantai Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Look at the apricot trees beside the river. I think it will be beautiful in spring."
The cold is about to pass away, and Tantai Xiaoyu can't wait to see the spring flowers blooming here.
Hua Yu looked at her with disgust, smiled slightly, and asked Li Xiuyuan: "Godfather, you must have planted these apricot flowers, right?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the expressions of the two women and couldn't help but smile lightly.
"The vegetable fields, spiritual fields, apricot trees, flowers in this valley..."
"Some were planted by my wife, and some were planted by Watson and a group of younger brothers and sisters. Most of those apricot flowers were planted by me myself."
"I have liked apricot blossoms since I was a child, and I prefer cakes steamed with apricot blossoms. Can you two little guys make apricot blossom cakes?"
Having said this, Li Xiuyuan sighed: "I followed my husband to Tianshan Mountain since I was a child, but I failed to learn how to make apricot blossom cake from my mother. This is a pity."
Hua Yu smiled when he heard this: "I learned it from my mother when I was a child, and I will try it in spring."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, thinking that this little girl was serious.
Tantai Xiaoyu was stunned, looked at Hua Yu and blurted out: "I have stayed with you in Phoenix Mountain for a long time, and I have never heard you say this."
Hua Yu sighed and said quietly: "You forgot that my brother made me a bamboo dragonfly when we left Yunqi Temple. Didn't he never show it in front of you?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, turned and left Yaping.
Seeing that the New Year is approaching, after the beginning of spring, here is a world full of wild flowers.
He suddenly missed Hua Luoyu who had left, and he didn't know whether that guy and a group of children were injured on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, and how many enemies he killed.
Except for the apricot trees, all the other flowers and plants here were naturally planted by Hua Luoyu and his master Ouyang Dongli.
It seems that when I leave this world in the future, I can leave it to my senior brother, master, master, and others in the back of the town.
One flower, one world. Unexpectedly, with just one thought, the old monk created a replica of the human world on the Tianshan Mountains with a wave of his hand.
Looking back at Hua Yu who was still in a daze in the snow, she smiled: "It's New Year's Eve, what do you want to eat? It won't be long before it's the beginning of spring."
Hua Yu was stunned when he heard Fang, and blurted out: "It's the Chinese New Year soon? I wonder if my brother is doing well deep in the Yinshan Mountains?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "He has gone down to Yinshan Mountain a long time ago and went to the grassland to meet his sister's grandfather to drink and eat meat. How can he have a bad life?"
In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, if Hua Yu, who was accompanied by Xiao Hei, encountered something, she would be the first to go to the old monk in the back hill of the town.
After all, he was trapped under the Tianshan Mountains, and he couldn't even get down the stone wall.
…
It's snowing in the evening, so I'll have a drink.
The cold wind from the Tianshan Mountains blew away the dullness. Li Xiuyuan made a pot of tea and felt sad as he watched the two women busy in the room.
Thinking that today is New Year's Eve, Hua Yu and Tantai Xiaoyu moved the roe deer meat they had hunted from the mountains a few days ago from the stone house under the cliff.
The current Xinghua Valley is a black stone temple on the cliff, with a row of stone houses below. Even if there are more than ten or twenty people here, they will not worry about having no place to live.
Hua Yu and Tantai Xiaoyu were afraid of being lonely, so they lived in the same room. In addition to gossiping, they could also exchange sword practice experiences.
Li Xiuyuan made a pot of tea and drank it alone, holding a cup.
Looking at the busy two women, he said: "Make half of this meat, and I will cook the rest for you in hot pot later."
Naturally, there is no shortage of spices when he returns to the Five Realms. Even if he runs out, Agui will bring them to him when spring comes.
Hua Yu was stunned, "What is hot pot?" Tantai Xiaoyu also raised his head and looked at Li Xiuyuan quietly holding a cup of spiritual tea.
"I'll teach you later. If you want to eat it later, you can do it yourself. Don't bother me again."
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "My wife, master and others are probably cooking hot pot in Nanyun City now."
Hua Yu thought for a while, looked at Tantai Xiaoyu and said seriously: "Hehe, senior sister, you must learn from your godfather. If you don't go down the mountain in the future, you can still cook it for your brother."
"Actually, I also want to learn more things, otherwise I will make you laugh at me all the time."
Tantai Xiaoyu somehow remembered Nalan Qiuxue from the academy.
He couldn't help but said: "Do you think that if Nalan Qiuxue didn't force your brother to break off the engagement, would he also follow us to Tianshan Mountain?"
Hua Yu was startled by her idea and said in a daze: "She can't give up the glory and wealth of the academy. My brother will be a poor boy in her eyes."
Hua Yu said in disbelief: "If I weren't his biological sister, I probably wouldn't have risked leaving Phoenix Mountain. In that case, it's you, senior sister, who is the most courageous."
While patting her chest, Hua Yu thought of Nalan Qiuxue's cold face and couldn't help but sigh quietly.
He looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Godfather, was it wrong or right for you to cancel the marriage with your brother?"
Tantai Xiaoyu chuckled, covered her mouth and said, "Junior sister, you are stupid. She is the proud daughter of the academy. How can she come to endure hardship with us? What if she can't go back?"
Speaking of this, Tantai Xiaoyu was also shocked by his own thoughts.
He raised his head and stared blankly at Li Xiuyuan, who was smiling and silent. He thought for a while and asked carefully: "Senior, can the three of us still go back?"
Li Xiuyuan didn't reply, he just put his finger into the tea cup, quietly drew a few circles on the table, and then waved the two women over.
Pointing to one of the circles, he said: "You are the world you used to be in. This is our current world. This is the world where I lived with amnesia for many years. This is..."
Li Xiuyuan did not list all the places he had been to, which left the two of them speechless.
Only then did they understand why Watson waved his hand and led them away from Yunqi Temple. It turns out that the world is so big!
He followed him to the place where Watson once lived. For Watson, he just went to two different places to live and practice.
For these worlds that Li Xiuyuan talked about, they are like a frog in a well looking up at the sky.
Seeing the two women in a daze, Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "Watson has already stood at the top of this world. He will go to more places in the future. What about you?"
After hearing these words, Hua Yu gently patted Tantai Xiaoyu on the shoulder: "If you want to be my sister-in-law, I'm afraid you will have to follow your brother to travel around these worlds!"
"What about you? Could it be that you go back to Phoenix Mountain alone and die there?"
Tantai Xiaoyu brought the marinated meat over, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "Senior, should you grill it first? Or..."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "I will listen to the arrangements of you two today."
