After thinking for two days, Li Xiuyuan accompanied Zhenpo to collect herbs in the mountains for two days. The next day, Xiao Ling'er and the two little dragons also followed him to Lingshan Mountain.
Because they would be away for a long time, they collected a lot of medicinal herbs for Li Xiuyuan.
In Po Meng's words, it was enough for him to use for two months.
Two months seemed like a lot to Xiao Ling'er, Long Potian, and Long Qingyun, but Meng Po knew that compared with five or ten years, it was just a blink of an eye.
Collecting herbs in Lingshan is a boring practice, and you can't stop because there are people crossing the bridge on the Forgotten River every night.
On the third day, Li Xiuyuan had no one to accompany him, and even Po Meng stayed at home because they had to wait for Qingluan to come back.
Li Xiuyuan said that he would start to adapt to the role of Po Meng alone. Starting from midnight today, he would start practicing on the Wangchuan Bridge.
This is not something he owes Po Meng, this is something he is willing to do.
Because he wanted to see more sentient beings and make his heart calmer.
Standing on Lingshan Mountain and looking at Wangchuan River, it is like looking at the world from the sky.
There is a kind of insignificance and a kind of desolation.
It was he who traveled through eternity and drifted on the Nether River for thousands of miles and thousands of years... From the Netherworld Divine River back to the Wangchuan River, the old Taoist priest's voice still did not appear in his Divine Sea.
Perhaps, at this moment, the old Taoist priest has let himself go and no longer worries about himself.
It took him an hour to collect herbs in the mountains, but he didn't see Qingluan or her father coming down the mountain.
Li Xiuyuan did not rush home, but went to the bridge first and spent another half an hour cooking a pot of soup.
These were all things he had to prepare for during the day, and naturally he didn't want to wait until the eldest sister and others left before coming to the bridge to enjoy the breeze.
Po Meng sent him a message saying that Qingluan had come back, and everyone would leave together after dinner. She asked him why he hadn't come back yet.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the vast lake and whispered back: "This is Qingluan's moment. I can't be the protagonist in everything. Tell her that I am happy for her."
Po Meng murmured: "Life has been separated since ancient times, and this is not the first time for you."
"So what? I thought that Qingluan would leave my eldest sister one day, but when that day came, I didn't want to face it. Isn't it useless?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "I will stay here for a few years for my eldest sister. You can go and see the outside world in peace."
"Come back, we will leave after drinking this cup of spiritual tea." Po Meng insisted that Qingluan and Li Xiuyuan meet.
It was past noon when I got home.
Before entering the door, Li Xiuyuan smelled the faint fragrance of tea. Qingluan rushed to the yard and hugged Li Xiuyuan, sobbing gently on his shoulder.
Li Xiuyuan comforted him softly: "The suffering you suffered before was just the experience of your previous life. From the moment you reached nirvana, you no longer have anything to do with the previous Li Wuxin."
Qingluan didn't reply, just hummed softly.
For Qingluan, Po Meng was just her sister, but Li Xiuyuan was her savior... allowing her to transform from an ordinary mortal into a monk transcending the three realms.
Even if she is not an ordinary person and has an amazing life experience, without Li Xiuyuan's help, she is afraid that she will fall into reincarnation again.
She didn't even know what year or month she would be able to meet her father who came to look for her outside the Three Realms.
Li Xiuyuan didn't know how to comfort him for a moment, so after much deliberation he could only say: "You and I are just like relatives... As long as heaven and earth exist, we will have a moment to meet again."
"Well, I'll wait for you." Qingluan sighed. She didn't know that the separation came so suddenly.
For a moment, I just felt that there were still a lot of things to say, and my heart was filled with panic.
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly: "You have learned the art of wine making. When you leave, take half of the wine here and leave the rest to eldest sister."
As for wine and water, if Qingluan takes it away, he can make it again.
In the coming years, he plans to brew more wine to pay for all future debts so that his eldest sister will no longer have to worry about drinking.
Qingluan laughed when he heard this: "I took away a few jars... and gave the rest to you and eldest sister. Now that I have learned it, I can do it myself in the future."
"Come in and have a cup of tea." Mrs. Meng in the room spoke.
Li Xiuyuan took Qingluan's hand and walked into the living room. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was somewhat similar to Qingluan, he thought for a while and said, "I have met senior."
Since he is Qingluan's father, he is naturally his senior, and no matter what the identity of the man in front of him is, he cannot panic Li Xiuyuan.
Po Meng motioned for him to sit down and asked: "Brother, have you cooked the soup? Then you can have a good rest in the house for a few hours."
Li Xiuyuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and replied: "When will eldest sister prepare to leave? When will she return?"
Others are still enlightening and practicing in the grotto, so naturally they cannot stay here for a long time.
Po Meng thought for a moment and then replied: "How about coming back before you go through the catastrophe?"
"That's good." That's what Li Xiuyuan wanted. After all, Wangchuan cannot live without Po Meng for a day.
The middle-aged man looked at Li Xiuyuan with a smile and asked: "Everyone wants to seek Taoism and enter Taoism. You saved my daughter's life. I can promise you a condition."
condition? Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, I am not making a deal with you.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan suppressed his smile, looked at him and replied: "When I met Qingluan on the bridge, I never thought that one day she would repay me, and it is the same today."
This simple sentence made Meng Po and the others shocked and speechless, and they were speechless for a long time.
According to Qingluan's father, it was an existence comparable to the Immortal Emperor. It was already a big deal to be able to agree to Li Xiuyuan's condition.
This guy was kind enough to refuse.
The middle-aged man in a green shirt was silent for a long time, then frowned and said: "Qing'er said that I drank the divine wine you brewed and regained my life. So, how about I owe you a favor?"
Li Xiuyuan was slightly startled and said calmly: "That's okay. I originally gave this wine as a gift to eldest sister and Qingluan. They got drunk before they finished drinking. This is the fate between senior and eldest sister."
Even if it is a favor, Li Xiuyuan will let Po Meng fall. He does not need anyone's favor in heaven and on earth.
He didn't even want the favor of an old monk, let alone a strange man.
As the old Taoist said, don't fall in love with any stranger.
He didn't understand it before, but as he experienced more and more things, his cultivation became higher and higher, and his master's teachings became clearer and clearer.
Even the Immortal Emperor's favor was not wanted by him.
You have to create your own future with your hands, how can you fake it with others!
This time, it was Meng Po and the middle-aged man's turn to be surprised. Neither of them expected that Li Xiuyuan once again rejected Qingluan's father's overtures.
Putting down the teacup, Li Xiuyuan took Qingluan's hand and said seriously: "When I left Honghuang, I told Xiao Ling'er that as long as she and Long Potian live well, I would be very happy."
"I will give you the same words today. As long as you and Long Qingyun live well, I will be proud of you in the sky, on the earth, and in the stars in the sky."
Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "Because we are relatives."
"Wow!" With a cry of "Wow!", even Qingluan, who had been reserved for a long time, couldn't help hugging him and crying. Similarly, Xiao Ling'er also rushed over and hugged him and cried together.
As for what Li Xiuyuan said, she had heard it before in the world.
Listening to it today, it felt a bit heartbreaking and painful.
He Xiuyuan patted the two girls and smiled and said: "I originally had a few treasures on my body, but they were hidden by Master. I gave them all that should be given to you." Thinking about it, he took out two more luminous pearls, one in each hand. There was a pill stuffed in it.
Hehe smiled and said: "I have drank several bowls of soup on the bridge these days, but I have forgotten where this bead came from. Let's just keep it as a souvenir."
Little Ling'er held the beads in front of her eyes and looked at them. She wiped her tears with one hand and said, "Little Ling'er will get the treasure next time and keep it for my brother."
Qingluan was not surprised, as Li Xiuyuan gave her a lot of treasures.
Just holding the Night Pearl again, I was still filled with emotion. I wiped my tears and said with a smile: "Just as you said, no worries about debts, I will accept it."
Granny Meng clapped her hands, stood up and stretched her waist, looked at Long Potian and Long Qingyun and said, "Are you ready? We are going to visit the outside world."
Long Potian nodded, walked over and stuffed a ring into Li Xiuyuan's hand: "This is what I owed you in the prehistoric world. Hehe, I finally gave you something."
Long Qingyun said with a bitter face: "The best thing about me has been given to you."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at Po Meng and said, "Sister, I wish you a safe journey."
The middle-aged man looked at Li Xiuyuan again and again, and finally waved his hand and said: "Let Qingluan remember your favor, we are leaving, you take care of yourself."
The group of people came outside the yard. Before Xiao Ling'er could say anything, the middle-aged man rolled up a golden light and everyone disappeared in front of him.
Po Meng's voice came from mid-air: "Brother, is there still rice hot for you in the pot?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's better for you, eldest sister, because you know I'm hungry from hiking."
Under the green pear tree outside the sky, the old monk shook his head: "I have traveled all over the world and I don't obey anyone. I will obey you, master and disciple. That old guy is the Immortal Emperor..."
A few leaves were blown off the branches by the mountain wind and floated gently to the stone table.
The old Taoist priest smiled lightly: "If he promised that guy's favor, I would have to break his legs later. What's wrong with the Immortal Emperor? My disciple's half-pot of divine water gave him endless vitality."
Lao Shang naturally understood the reason behind this, and that's why he liked Li Xiuyuan's temper even more.
No, this is a kind of character, a character that even the Immortal Emperor would bow to.
Lao Shang took a sip of the spiritual tea and murmured: "That's right. The guy became obsessed with remembering the girl and became crazy. He disappeared for nine days and ten places, and finally sealed himself on the top of the spiritual mountain in the River of Forgetfulness."
The old Taoist priest filled the tea cup for him, and said with a faint smile: "If my disciple hadn't been thinking about Po Meng, how could he have filled half a pot of divine wine? Without that divine wine, even the Immortal Emperor would have sat in the Lingshan Mountain in the end. The top."
"Interesting, your disciple is getting more and more interesting."
The old monk laughed loudly and said: "Before I have successfully transformed into a mortal, I have already understood the great road of life and death, and the laws of time and space have been burned into my soul, flesh and blood..."
"Don't forget, the original power of the Yin and Yang Dao has entered his eyes without him knowing it."
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and laughed: "Waiting for the wind to blow one day, I, as a master, don't dare to think about it carefully... I watched him become a legend."
Lao Shang looked at the green pears that were about to ripen on the tree, sighed and said, "In the past eternity, without you, old guy, and with Mingzhu and Li Xiuyuan in front of me, these years would have been too boring."
The old Taoist priest thought for a while and smiled: "He is now incarnate as Po Meng. He will practice in Wangchuan for several years and face countless wind and rain."
The old monk thought for a moment, should he go and see him?
The old Taoist priest shook his head: "If you are bored, go by yourself."
Lying on the bed, half awake and half asleep, Li Xiuyuan murmured: "Master, how are Mumu and the others now?"
The old Taoist trembled, looked at the old monk and said with a smile: "Look, this guy dreams about the little phoenix in nirvana at the foot of Mount Sumeru."
