Li Xiuyuan was startled when he heard this, and his mind flashed back to the day when he became his disciple. At that time, he thought that he was the most powerful person in the world.
Later, he met his senior brother Minghui on the way to Fangcun Mountain. Because the unintentional teacher Li Xiuyuan entered the Sansheng Stone, after experiencing three lives and three lives, he felt that his senior brother was a saint in the world.
Since then, although he has met many good teachers, he has never been able to make him feel like a saint like Mr. Ru and Minghui before.
Until he met the old Taoist master in Dagou Town, and told him that even if he is a saint, he must obey the laws of heaven. Unless he has a big fist, he can do whatever he wants.
Until he met the female saint of Meishan, a woman who did not speak harshly to him even though he hurt her disciple.
Perhaps, that is the saint in his mind.
Not pleased, not to have compassion?
Just like the old monk, the master who never leaves the monks, he has the compassion of Buddhism and the wisdom of a saint.
What about the teacher and Yuzun who gave him the star cultivation method?
Perhaps the teacher Meng Shentong has been a saint for a long time, but he is hidden in the mountains and forests, and even the saints cannot tell that he is a saint.
Everything in the past appeared before his eyes like clouds, but he could not tell his experience to the lady in front of him, or to his master.
"I'm really ashamed. This junior has come into contact with so few people. If we have to find a saint, I should be considered half a saint."
After waving away the clouds of smoke in front of his eyes, Li Xiuyuan looked at the two people in front of him and replied quietly.
The master looked at Li Xiuyuan's eyes, which were as clean and transparent as the top of a snow-capped mountain, and couldn't help but sigh: "The world is unkind, let alone me. It's not that easy to become a saint."
Miss Xiangfu became more and more confused and couldn't help interrupting the conversation between the two.
He asked softly: "Will the teacher become a saint one day?"
The Master nodded and said seriously: "The reason why a saint is a saint is that his heart is pure and pure, and is not mixed with human desires."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said: "Only when a person is pure and pure is he a saint, and when a person is golden enough is he perfect. Is this a saint?"
"I see. So the teacher will become a saint one day."
Miss Xiangfu frowned slightly and asked carefully: "Teacher, the young master has been going to the frontier for many years, but there has been no news. Jingjing wants to see him."
The Master looked at her and shook his head, and said seriously: "You are a weak woman, how can you get to the border? Not to mention the long journey, what should you do if you encounter bandits on the road?"
Miss Xiangfu was stunned and couldn't help but said in a daze: "It's just that I'm frightened every night, but what should I do?"
Li Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He suddenly remembered the scene where he and Zhang Liang bid farewell to Young Master Su that day. Perhaps, this farewell was their eternal farewell.
And after thinking about it, it seems that some things have nothing to do with the world of Da Qin...
For example, if Xu Fuzhi goes out of the East China Sea one day...
The little black finger outside the living room suddenly became confused, and the clanging sound made him feel a little annoyed, because, as he said, even the King of Qin who unified the six kingdoms was not a saint.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I'm a little tired of staying in the imperial city, and I want to go to the border to take a look at the Great Wall built by Master Su."
At this moment, Xiao Hei retracted his hand and ducked in to hear his brother's words.
Then he shouted: "Brother, are you going to abandon Xiao Hei again?"
"Then tell me, how are you with your sword practice? Are you as good at playing the piano as Sister Shuzi? Do you read more poems and books than Brother Zhang Liang? Or do you no longer want to be Confucius's student?"
This time, Li Xiuyuan did not reject Xiao Hei.
Whether Xiao Hei followed him to the border or stayed in the imperial city with his master, it was of no consequence to Li Xiuyuan.
He wants to leave this decision to Xiao Hei himself, and will never force him to make decisions for Xiao Hei in the future.
He is Xiao Hei's brother, and Xiao Hei is also his brother.
As a result, Xiao Hei was immediately dumbfounded, because his brother had always made decisions for him, when had he ever bothered?
Touching his head, Xiao Hei thought for a while: "Xiao Hei has to ask Sister Shuzi about this."
Li Xiuyuan disagreed, looked at him and replied calmly: "You can ask sister Shuzi, but this time, I will neither bring your senior brother Zhang Liang nor Shuzi."
Before the Master and Xiao Hei could make up their minds, Miss Xiangfu couldn't help but get up and say to Li Xiuyuan Yingying: "Sir, please take Qing'er and go to the border to meet the Young Master together."
Li Xiuyuan did not reply immediately, but glanced at the master.
The master didn't know what he was thinking, so he immediately laughed and said: "In this case, the lady must first ask Zuo Tongzong if he agrees with you going to the border."
From the Master's point of view, although Li Xiuyuan didn't take anyone with him, it didn't mean that he also refused Young Master Su's wife.
After all, he also guessed some endings.
Young Master Su is also his favorite disciple. If something unexpected happens, he hopes that the wine shopkeeper in front of him can gently wipe it out for his disciple.
When Miss Xiangfu heard this, she was smart and no longer bothered about the matter.
Instead, he stood up and said goodbye to his master, and said softly: "Qing'er will go back home now to ask what daddy means." After that, he said goodbye to Li Xiuyuan: "Qing'er is waiting for news about sir."
Li Xiuyuan glanced at the master, then smiled lightly and said: "If I go to the border, I will ask Zhang Liang and Shuzi to pick you up at the house. Don't panic."
Miss Xiangfu was overjoyed when she heard this and bowed to the two of them again.
Then he touched Xiao Hei's head and smiled: "Xiao Hei, you still need to learn how to play the piano from your master."
The little black man's face darkened and he stopped talking until he sent the lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion out the door. He returned to the living room and looked at his brother and his wife for a long time.
Xiao Heicai pointed to the sauced beef on the table and couldn't help but said: "Brother, I'm hungry..."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and couldn't help but said: "Go and wash your hands first. Master, would you like a drink?"
The master replied: "It's rare that you come up the mountain to see me, so naturally you want to have a drink."
After drinking until they were almost gone, the three of them ate up all the beef that Li Xiuyuan brought, and Master Zhang Luo moved the tea table under the eaves outside the door.
"At a glance from here, you can see the imperial palace of Da Qin!"
The master looked at Xiao Hei who was carrying a bucket to catch the snow water, and said quietly: "Xiao Hei and Shuzi thought about it. It takes only a few years to learn the tea ceremony and the piano ceremony. It only takes a few years to learn the kendo. You have What do you think?"
Li Xiuyuan looked towards the palace not far down the mountain.
The past storms flashed before his eyes one after another.
He couldn't help but smile and said, "Fortunately, nothing has changed. Some things still have time to change!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand to light the small stove on the table and poured the snow water that Xiao Hei had brought on top.
The Master asked thoughtfully: "You really want to change something. Do you want to take the lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion to the border?"
"Since some things are doomed, although I can't change the ending, I want to try to change the final fate of some people."
Li Xiuyuan poured the spirit tea into the pot and said calmly.
The master smiled, pointed at the palace, and asked, "If that's the case, that's not a bad idea. After all, he is also my student."
At this moment, the master had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Since Li Xiuyuan said it like this, it made more sense, and he didn't want to reveal the last layer of looming truth.
At least, he has seen some small changes in Zhang Liang and Shuzi.
And if these changes were not due to Li Xiuyuan, Master would naturally not believe them.
Thinking of this, Master couldn't help but asked quietly: "In your opinion, where is Zhang Liang's future path?!"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the Qin Imperial Palace from a distance, pondered for a long time, and then quietly replied: "If Master wants to leave the imperial city in seclusion, I will
Zhang Liang will be advised to leave this place and go to Xiapi. "
The master was startled when he heard this, and asked quietly: "Isn't the imperial city at the emperor's feet not good?"
Li Xiuyuan pulled Xiao Hei to sit down next to him, took out a handkerchief to wipe the grease from the corners of his mouth, and complained softly.
Then he looked at the Master and said with a smile: "The emperor can't even protect his eldest son, what's there to do here?"
When the master heard this, he was immediately shocked, frowned and asked, "How can you see it?"
Li Xiu made tea by hand, poured a cup of hot tea for each of the three people, held it in his hand and blew gently.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "Everything Xu Fu encountered along the way was with me. Later, Dongjun sent someone to send two hundred heads to King Qin, but the knife did not fall on anyone's head."
The master nodded and replied, "Raising tigers will bring disaster. Is this destiny?"
Li Xiuyuan took a shallow sip of tea and said with a smile: "The emperor is just a mortal, he is not a saint."
Xiao Hei was holding the tea and taking a sip. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Xiao Hei knows who the saint is."
…
On the third day after returning from the academy, Zhang Liang took Shuzi and Xiao Hei to No. 47 Xianlai Wine Shop after school.
At this time, Li Xiuyuan had not yet decided what to eat for dinner.
I was alone, holding a book, a pot of tea and watching the spring breeze in the shop.
"Brother, let's come back." From a distance, Xiao Hei shouted before he even got off the carriage: "Sister Shuzi is here too, brother wants to cook pork belly."
Li Xiuyuan put away the scroll in his hand, looked at Zhang Liang who walked into the store and asked, "What day is it today? Why did you think of bringing Shuzi to my place?"
Zhang Liang sighed and said unwillingly: "I heard from the teacher that you want to take the lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Young Master Su? I want to see that guy too."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at Shuzi who had changed into a yellow skirt, and said with a smile: "Shuzi also wants to go out and have fun instead of studying with the teacher?"
Shuzi shook her head and said nothing, staring at Zhang Liang, fearing that this guy would abandon her regardless.
Li Xiuyuan put in new tea and boiled water.
Then he looked at Zhang Liang and said, "Believe me, Master will not be able to stay in the imperial city for long. You three, while he is still in the academy, learn more about the ways of a saint from him."
Zhang Liang was shocked when he heard this, frowned and asked: "Master is leaving the academy? Leaving the imperial city? Where is he going?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at Shuzi and Xiaohei and responded calmly: "Just like you left Korea and came to the imperial city, why can't Master leave the academy?"
"Master has stayed in the academy for a long time and taught many students with great pains. However, who is worthy of the big responsibility?"
Having said this, Li Xiuyuan asked quietly: "Is it you? Or is it Shuzi and Xiaohei?"
Zhang Liang laughed loudly and said: "It must be me. If you don't have confidence in me, then who else in the world can withstand the ups and downs in the future?"
When Shuzi heard this, she couldn't help but look slightly gloomy when she thought of the first time she met Zhang Liang, because she never wanted to experience such a terrifying scene again, and she also wanted to become stronger.
Immediately, a look of determination appeared on that beautiful face, and he said: "Since the teacher is leaving, Shuzi and Xiaohei will not go anywhere in the future. They will stay in the academy to accompany the teacher."
Xiao Hei saw that Shuzi had made up her mind for him, so naturally it was difficult to refuse her offer, not to mention that he had been thinking about the old monk's words asking him to study more.
So he took Li Xiuyuan's hand and said, "Brother, Xiaohei and Sister Shuzi will stay in the academy to accompany the teacher."
After Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, he looked at Li Xiuyuan and said calmly: "In this case, wouldn't you be traveling alone, without anyone to drink and chat with?"
Li Xiuyuan touched Xiao Hei's head and smiled: "Ask Xiao Hei, did I go out alone before I met him?"
Xiao Hei chuckled and said: "At that time, my brother came back from the sea alone..."
Zhang Liang sighed and asked unwillingly: "When do you plan to leave? I have to go and talk to the lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion about this."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, and then replied softly: "Maybe... just this spring?"
