Peaceful years are what Li Xiuyuan pursues in his dreams, because he seems to have never seriously enjoyed such a life.
Except for the two years when he first practiced with his husband on Tianshan Mountain, he spent more than half of that time alone, taking Xiaobai with Lao Yuan and Lao Lang.
Thinking about it now, it was really like what the husband said, that should be the simplest and happiest day in his life.
Later, when we got down to Tianshan Mountain, our troubles never stopped.
Even after breaking through the realm in Beihai and ascending to the Shura Heaven, during those years on Luoxia Mountain, although he was very happy following the old Taoist priest, he had already lost his memory at that time.
After losing his memory, he was rescued by the dean of the academy and was taken to the academy to work as a handyman.
If you think about it carefully, the days when you can live a quiet life like this without worrying about being plotted against you have really not happened many times.
In fact, in Master's mind, this is not the case.
For Gao Jianli, who was buried on the top of the snow-capped mountains, Li Xiuyuan was his close friend.
And for a rare old man in the world who could talk to each other and explore the ways of a saint, Li Xiuyuan was his close friend.
】
Master Houshan in the academy was practicing hard, but now he returned to the world of mortals in the imperial city because of Li Xiuyuan's invitation.
Unlike the gentlemen in the academy, Li Xiuyuan would use Buddhism to discuss the relationship between Confucianism and Taoism with him from time to time. This was a surprise to the Master.
Because the Master has always believed that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism can depend on each other.
It's just that he has never met a monk as open-minded and willing to accept other people's principles as Li Xiuyuan before.
At least some of the monks I met in the past thought that I was the best in the world and could not tolerate others in my eyes.
Just like the mysterious old man who was Zhang Liang's master, if the old man had not met Li Xiuyuan in this life, and had not understood the way of heaven and earth in the depths of the desert, he might not have been able to realize the way and ascend in his lifetime.
This kind of day is both a teacher and a dragon, where there is wine and poetry. This is what Master likes.
He has no control over the changes in the world, and he is not a god.
What he cares about is that he can meet someone with meaning like Li Xiuyuan before enlightenment. A child he met in the depths of the desert can also be his disciple.
An ambitious student like Zhang Liang can also be his brother.
Thinking of this, the master finally asked the question he had been holding back for many days: "Shopkeeper Li, how did you reach the sky that day in the snow mountain?"
Li Xiuyuan, who happened to put down the bamboo slips in his hand and was about to make tea, was stunned. He didn't expect that the master would endure such trivial matters for many days before he asked carefully.
He couldn't help but chuckle and said: "I was afraid that it would be too late, so I asked God to open a way for me to reach heaven."
He reached out to pick up the boiling water boiled with snow water and gently dropped it into the pot. The aroma of tea gradually filled the air.
After thinking for a while, he continued: "I rarely speak to him. In order to let Mr. Gao see this side of the world, I made an exception."
In Li Xiuyuan's view, the old Taoist priest should understand his thoughts. After all, he only wanted to let Gao Jianli take a look at him on the top of the snow mountain.
"It turns out that there really are gods." The master asked in surprise.
Li Xiuyuan slowly poured the spiritual tea into the cups of the two of them, thought for a while and said, "There is a saying in Buddhism: the end of doubt creates faith. This is what it says."
Carefully handing the tea cup to the master, Li Xiuyuan also picked up a cup himself.
He took a shallow taste before continuing: "If you don't believe there will be a miracle, then how can a miracle appear in front of you in the world?"
"What a way to dispel doubts and create trust, haha, interesting."
The Master smiled, picked up the cup, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and continued: "You should teach these children this knowledge so that they can learn more about the principles between heaven and earth."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said calmly: "Didn't Master say that teaching should be tailored to each person? Not everyone should practice the Three Thousand Dao."
This is also something Li Xiuyuan has no choice about. Everyone wants to see the wise and think of them, but once the matter falls on themselves, how many people can do it?
He and Xiao Hei are just passers-by in this world and can't change anything.
He can make Shuzi and Zhang Liang practice, and he can make Xiaohu gather energy to practice swordsmanship. This is the ultimate he can do.
Shuntian Yingdao's affairs sometimes seemed to him like torture to him.
He even somewhat understood why the old Taoist priest was unwilling to intervene in the ancient war between gods and demons. Perhaps the master at that time was his current mood.
The master was deeply moved when he heard this and sighed: "What a wonderful saying. If everyone could realize the Great Dao, they would not be reincarnated in the world of mortals."
Having said this, the master couldn't help but ask: "So, there are fairy mountains overseas. Wouldn't Xu Fu go to sea to find the elixir for the emperor?"
This time Li Xiuyuan didn't take it seriously, he just laughed: "Maybe, who knows?"
After saying that, he pointed his finger at the top of his head, meaning Master, you should ask him.
The master thought of the things that happened not long ago and came back to his senses instantly. He didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, he also knew that God's will could not be violated.
While he was talking, Xiaohu's loud shouting sounded outside the door, and then he rushed into the backyard and threw himself on Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan was startled for a moment, touched his little face and said, "Did you fight with someone on the street? Who made the move first? Which one was it, the child or the adult?"
According to the rules that Li Xiuyuan taught Xiao Hei, you should never fight with others when you go out, even in the academy.
Unexpectedly, Shuzi followed me when I went out today, so I still broke my own rules.
Unexpectedly, Xiaohu shook his head and said, "It's okay, it just hurts. Sir, please find some medicine for me."
Xiao Hei also walked in, looked at Li Xiuyuan, shook his head and said: "It's okay, I just had a fight with someone in the restaurant, it was all flesh and blood injuries."
Li Xiuyuan frowned when he heard this: "Aren't you and Shuzi together? How come there was a fight? How can you be brothers and sisters?"
Mrs. Yan, who was in the house, heard the commotion and came out. Looking at Xiaohu's appearance, she felt extremely distressed.
Just in a blink of an eye, she thought about the husband in front of her, so she didn't know what to say. She just stepped forward and pulled Xiaohu into her arms, and asked softly: "Did you fight with someone? Does it hurt?"
It is normal for children in the desert to fight with others, and even the Yan family would not be surprised.
What surprised her was that Xiaohu's face was stained even though he had already started practicing with his husband. Could it be that he had met a master?
Just when Li Xiuyuan was about to ask further questions, Shuzi walked in.
Looking at Mr. Yan and thinking for a while, he said thoughtfully: "That guy is bigger than Xiaohu...I didn't take it too seriously...Fortunately, Xiaohei didn't take action...This matter is over..."
Li Xiuyuan reached out and touched Xiaohu's hand, explored it, and said to Yan: "Go and boil a bucket of hot water, it will be almost ready to temper his body."
It was just a skin injury, which happened to be attached to the body tempering, saving Li Xiuyuan another opportunity.
When Xiaohu heard this, he was so frightened that he screamed: "Sir, he is going to kill the pig again!"
Xiao Hei looked at him with disgust and said with a smile: "The bucket of potion is worth so much. I can't afford it even if I sell it to Xiao Hu. How dare you dislike it."
When Mrs. Yan heard that nothing was wrong and saw that her husband was going to temper her son's body, she was secretly happy and turned around and walked towards the courtyard No. 46.
While shouting: "Qiuxiang is out to help."
It wasn't until Shuzi sat next to the Master that Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but ask, "What happened? Let me tell you."
Shuzi smiled lightly and said, "This is all my fault. How could I run into the kitchen to find something delicious?"
But Shuzi took Xiao Hei and Xiao Hu shopping, and while shopping, Xiao Hu complained that he was hungry.
Xiao Hei pointed to the restaurant not far away and smiled: "Sister Shuzi, we haven't had a meal out for a long time."
Shuzi thought for a while, looked at the two of them and replied: "Then let's go eat. We will go back when we are full." After saying that, she took Xiaohu's hand and walked towards the restaurant.
Xiao Hei was naturally eager to have a meal outside, but his brother didn't want to, and there weren't that many rules.
It was lunch time, and the tables upstairs and downstairs in the restaurant were all full, leaving only an empty table by the window on the second floor.
The three of them came forward to sit down and called the waiter to come over and order.
Xiao Hei is not picky about food and always eats whatever he has with his brother.
As His Royal Highness, Xiaohu has become more well-behaved around his husband in the past two years, but he wants to eat something different and act like a spoiled child with his sister and brother.
After the waiter put the food on the table, Xiaohu looked at Shuzi longingly after taking a few bites and said, "Sister Shuzi, the food is not delicious!"
Shuzi was shocked. This was the first time she saw Xiao Hei being a picky eater. She had no choice but to ask: "Then what do you want to eat?"
Xiaohu thought for a while and said: "My husband promised to grill fish for me, but I never bought any fish..." Thinking about what his husband said in the desert, Xiaohu said pitifully.
Xiao Hei thought for a while and smiled: "Xiao Hei wants to eat fish too." The last time he ate fish, he and Watson grilled it several times on the edge of the South China Sea.
Shuzi nodded helplessly, stood up and said, "Xiaohu, wait here, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."
Xiao Hei also stood up and said, "Xiao Hu, take a look. I'll go to the kitchen and take a look."
After saying that, Xiao Hei stood up and walked behind Shuzi. There should be fish in the kitchen. At worst, he would have to spend money to buy it.
So, Xiao Hei followed Shuzi to the kitchen to find fish to bake for Xiao Hu, and all three of them loved it.
Seeing the uncle in the kitchen choosing fish for them and putting it on the fire to roast, even Xiao Hei couldn't help shouting, saying that he would buy some and take them home to roast slowly another day.
Shuzi smiled faintly: "Let Sister Qiuxiang buy more tomorrow, as there are many people at home."
Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell my brother when I get back."
The uncle in the kitchen smiled: "Guests rarely come to eat grilled fish. You are considered a good eater."
Xiao Hei thought for a while, looked at Shuzi and said, "My brother's craftsmanship is good. Let him bake it another day."
After a while, the uncle grilled some fish and brought them to Shuzi. After thanking Shuzi, she asked Xiaohei to run out of the kitchen together. Not to mention Xiaohu, she also wanted to eat fish.
Xiaohu was probably impatient to wait.
However, when the two came out of the kitchen with the grilled fish, they heard Xiaohu's yelling and the sound of a porcelain bowl falling to the ground.
Xiao Hei felt something was wrong and rushed out with a whoosh.
When he saw the miserable look on Xiaohu's face, his originally sunny face immediately turned gloomy.
Right in front of their table by the window, sat a young man who was a few years younger than Shuzi. Xiaohu was sitting opposite, wiping the blood on his face and shouting something loudly with the young man.
Xiao Hei's heart burned with a bang. His brother told him that Xiao Hu was his younger brother, and this was Xiao Hei's first younger brother.
Xiaohu's face looked miserable. He had obviously been punched more than once, and his nose was still bleeding.
The furious Xiao Hei yelled: "Who dares to bully my brother? Do you think your life is enough? You will die!"
Shuzi, who was holding the grilled fish, was also angry. In the past, not to mention taking action, she was reluctant to even say harsh words to Xiaohu, because her elder brother told her that Xiaohu had suffered a lot.
Now that her younger brother is being bullied, she, as the eldest sister, will never tolerate it.
So Qing scolded him and said: "Xiao Hei, step back. With the eldest sister here, it's not your turn to take action!"
