This was the first time that Li Xiuyuan taught Fat Monk and Xiaohu the way of sainthood, although he had not yet completed the practice of becoming a mortal.
But it does not prevent him from understanding the way of heaven and earth and the way of saints.
Not to mention that he has been under the education of old monks and Taoist priests. I discussed Taoism with the female saint on Meishan Mountain, and I discussed Taoism with the master of Monk Buli on Xuefeng Mountain.
At present, Li Xiuyuan only needs time to polish his Ru Shui's state of mind, and then needs an opportunity to complete the final disaster of becoming a mortal.

There were no monk robes in Huangquan Village, so Li bought some robes for the fat monk to celebrate the New Year.
However, Xiaohu was very happy after receiving new clothes and a lot of snacks.
He took Li Xiuyuan's hand and asked, "Have you turned into a god and gone to heaven to buy clothes and snacks for the little tiger? The great monk said that you have never even left the grotto."
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "Take a guess."
The fat monk smiled and shook his head.
He said to Xiaohu: "Buddha said it cannot be said. When Xiaohu grows up and is as powerful as my senior brother, he will naturally gradually understand."
Looking at the two people in front of him, Li Xiuyuan seemed to be looking at Long Potian and Xiao Ling'er in Huangquan Village, and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.
Having just returned from that world, my heart began to miss her again. A heart is like being split into two parts by a sword, one part is in the grotto, and the other part is left on the River of Forgetfulness.
After drinking three cups of tea, Li Xiuyuan felt a little tired, so he asked Xiaohu to continue writing and reading, saying that he would check his homework after the New Year.
It looked like he had just come out of seclusion in the grotto, but in fact he was more tired than anyone else and needed a good rest.
But when they saw the fat monk and Xiao Hu, they saw in their eyes that the husband and senior brother had just been struck by lightning and needed to go back to the house to rest.
After returning to the house and lying on the bed, Li Xiuyuan put down the burden in his heart, thinking about it, and couldn't help but laugh.
Wait until the beginning of spring, then take Xiaohu and leave for the Great Wall. They will stay for ten and a half days at most before setting off back to the imperial city.
However, when he returned to the imperial city, he was afraid that he would have missed the beautiful event.
As the night deepens, a snowy moon quietly shines on the mountains and rivers. Stars are falling. I don’t know when the snowflakes in the sky have stopped.
In the grotto, Li Xiuyuan had already quietly gotten up after sleeping all day. Stars flew in from the window, and as the meridians flowed through his body, he was like a starry sky, boundless.
What woke him up was not the snowy moon, nor the starlight in the sky.
It was the slowly rising black smoke standing in front of the formation at the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, a black light pierced the great formation in the mountain, pierced the void of the snowfield, and seemed to fall from the sky, passing through the window of the grotto and stabbing Li Xiuyuan's chest.
He vowed to cut off his life with one sword and let the sleeping Li Xiuyuan be buried in the grotto.
Li Xiuyuan in the grotto opened his eyes in an instant, held a flower in one hand, and performed the demon-subduing mudra with the other.
For a moment, the entire mountain where the grotto is located bloomed with light. The entire mountain was like a god and Buddha waking up from sleep, emitting thousands of rays of light and coldly watching the black smoke rising higher and higher.
Amidst the whining sound, a vast palm force suddenly roared out from the black smoke. The black horse instantly turned into the hand of death and headed straight for the gods and Buddhas under the moonlight.
The gods and Buddhas under the moonlight opened their eyes in an instant, and uttered the words of the Buddha: "What kind of evildoer has invaded the land of Buddhism?"
Black smoke rose to the mountains, and suddenly turned into a black mist that gradually filled the air.
A sinister voice replied: "Stop pretending to be a ghost, let me take your life."
"Buzz!" sounded, and the gods and Buddhas stopped speaking, because he saw the face in the black mist, the face that belonged to the high priest of Yuezhi Imperial City.
In the shining golden light, the gods and Buddhas who transformed into mountains and rivers slapped a palm towards the black fog. In an instant, the golden light in the night sky was dazzling, like the scorching sun in winter, and a cold palm wind blew away the black fog.
Amid the whining, Black Mist let out a shrill whimper.
Suddenly, a terrifying black lightning appeared in the mountains, and there was only a whooshing sound in the black mist. The arrow came out of the black mist, turned into a life-threatening pursuit of souls, and flew towards the gods and Buddhas.
The iron arrow tore through the night sky in an instant, with a harsh sound under the moonlight, and it was about to pierce the chest of the gods and Buddhas.
"Buzz!" sounded again, and then Li Xiuyuan, who transformed into a god and Buddha, changed his palm prints, from conquering demons to becoming fearless!
Wuwei held the moonlight and starlight in the sky with one palm, and with the Buddha's words transformed into the roar of a lion, he slapped the flying iron arrows with one palm.
"Dang!" a voice sounded.
A life-threatening arrow pierced the golden Buddhist bell, which was like gold and stone. Fearless's palm print continued unabated and struck hard at the gradually spreading black mist.
Woohoo! Woohoo!
The black mist roared and was scattered with a palm, flying around the mountains.
In the midst of a whining sound, the second life-threatening arrow was shot out of the black mist, and a black light roared crazily and rolled out.
The mountains, rivers and ground beneath the gods and Buddhas shook violently, and before the arrow even left the bow, the scene was already frightening.
The power of an arrow in the black mist actually triggered a response from the world. The world shook for a moment, and the black mist that was about to disperse erupted again.
It spreads towards the gods and Buddhas again, as if the darkness will block the light in front of you in the next moment.
"Buzz! Ah! Moo!"
In the grotto, Li Xiuyuan spoke the Buddha's words again, and the palm prints in his hands changed again, and in the posture of meditation, he swatted at the re-condensed black mist and the flying life-threatening arrows!
In the golden light that fills the sky, in the sound of Buddhist scriptures that fills the sky, the black lightning has not yet flown into the golden light, but like snowflakes encountering the scorching sun, they turn into flying ashes in an instant.
"Whoosh!" A third arrow was shot out of the black mist, with the aura of destruction, swallowing up the space in front of the gods and Buddhas, and piercing a black lightning.
"With my divine power, I am naturally fearless!"
The Buddha with lowered eyebrows suddenly opened his eyes like stars, and made two palm prints in succession!
For a moment, the sky was filled with golden light and the stars were shining brightly. However, the thoughts of subduing demons and going away became one, and they shot hard at the black mist in the void.
In an instant, a snowy moon in the sky shone brightly, and the seven stars turned into a sword of starlight and fell from the nine heavens!
Before the third life-threatening arrow flew into the gods and Buddhas, it hit the sword energy formed by Xinghua. With a hiss, it disappeared into thin air and disappeared without a trace.
The Starlight Sword then slashed down into the black mist, and together with the palm prints transformed by the golden light, struck the black mist that filled the area.
For a moment, there was a terrifying collision sound, and the ground shook, causing snow to fall all over the sky.
In the snow and fog that filled the sky, in the starlight in the sky, and in the Buddha's light in the sky, Li Xiuyuan's face showed no trace of sadness or joy.
Looking at the high priest lying in the snow at the foot of the mountain, he said coldly: "I let you go last time, but I didn't expect you to still not give up!"
"hehe!"
The high priest in the snow gave a difficult smile. Even now, he still can't believe how the mortal in front of him could transform into a god and Buddha, and how the Chanyu could get into such a big trouble.
Originally, he was already at the pinnacle of this world, and just like the fat monk in the grotto, he saw the hope of ascension.
This is also the reason why he is unwilling to interfere too much in the affairs of the dynasty.
However, the gods and Buddhas who transformed into mountains tonight are not something he can compete with with his human strength. Tonight, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to escape intact.
His appearance has been destroyed by his opponent, and any further efforts will only burn his essence, blood, and life.
He was unwilling to accept that he could bury his bones under a grotto deep in the desert.
"You go, don't go back to Yuezhi Imperial City again."
Returning from Wanli Youhe, Li Xiuyuan understood more about the principles of life and death. The current high priest was already the top master in this world, so why bother to work for a mere Shanyu.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan once again spoke the words of Buddha: "God has the virtue of a good life. After you leave, you will never look back to follow Touman. He is not worth your lifetime cultivation."
The high priest who fell in the snow struggled to stand up, looked at Li Xiuyuan who had transformed into a god and Buddha, and asked: "Who are you? Why do you want to ruin Shanyu's important event?"
"A mere Chanyu is worthy of me ruining his good deeds. I am just destined to Xiaohu and can't bear for him to die in the tiger's mouth. Didn't Jin Buhuan tell you this?"
Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "I gave him a chance when Jin Buhuan committed a crime, and I will give him another chance today. If he does it again, I will personally send you to hell."
"Who are you? Why do you want to destroy my dynasty?" The high priest shouted unwillingly. Without saying a word, blood spurted out with a loud sound.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "If I want to kill Touman, he will not survive that day on the Golden Palace. It is Xiaohu's own business, and I will not take action on his behalf."
"That's it, that's it...it's ridiculous!"
The high priest vomited another mouthful of blood, looked at the gods and Buddhas above his head unsteadily, and laughed: "It's ridiculous that the king drove away his prince for a woman..."
"Let's go, don't come back to invade my pure Buddhist land, otherwise you will never be able to ascend again."
The gods and Buddhas in the mountains gradually disappeared, and a snowy moon in the sky quietly illuminated the mountains and rivers, and stars scattered all over the sky, as if there had never been a fight here.
Li Xiuyuan in the grotto held a lotus in his hand and murmured to himself: "If I hadn't broken through the fifth level of the phaseless golden body, you would have been a dead person by now."
As he said, without restoring the power of the Buddhist body, he would never let the tiger return to the mountain, leaving Xiaohu with an invincible opponent.
After breaking through the realm, his state of mind was even better than before.
So what if the tiger returns to the mountain? I can defeat you once, and I can kill you again with my hand!
At the last moment, he saw in the eyes of the high priest this guy's reluctance to give up on life and his unwillingness to face everything in front of him.
In this case, what if I let you live?
He believed that the high priest, like the fat monk, would be able to ascend and leave this world in less than ten years. At that time, Xiaohu would naturally go to Touman and others to seek justice for himself.
What he has to do is, as long as he is still in this world, he will not allow others to harm this innocent mother and son.
Touman can't do it, and neither can the high priest.
The high priest in the snow looked up at the night sky that had regained its coolness. He struggled to suppress the rising blood energy and turned to look in the direction of Yuezhi City.
Sighing silently.
Just as Li Xiuyuan said, he had already seen the hope of ascension, so why should he be attached to this glimmer of glory and wealth in the world.
Although he was seriously injured by Li Xiuyuan tonight, it would not affect his practice. He would be back to his original state in less than half a year.
His eyes were on the starry sky, not on the snowy field under his feet, nor on the Yuezhi King City not far away.
Holding the iron bow in his hand, the high priest walked step by step in the opposite direction of Yuezhi City. From then on, there was no such high priest as him in the Xiongnu Dynasty.
King Shanyu could go to the depths of the desert to find a priest to take his place, but no one could reach his level of cultivation.
After understanding this truth, the old man in the snow looked up to the sky and laughed three times, waving his sleeves and walking away.
Not long after, a ray of starlight fell in front of the window, and a voice came into Li Xiuyuan's ears.
"Senior brother once slashed an army of thousands of people with his sword, why did he let such a powerful enemy go tonight?" The fat monk asked in disbelief: "Is it true that God is a good man?"
Li Xiuyuan sat down in front of the window, looked at the snowy moon in the sky, and sighed softly.
He murmured: "Buddha also has the virtue of enjoying life."
