Because the husband's arrival brought life to the dying tiger.
Because the Great Qin Dynasty has become history, Li Xiuyuan did not mind giving some of the elixir and divine water on his body to the two of them.
As long as it didn't violate the laws of heaven, he didn't bother to care about other nonsense.
In the days that followed, Shuzi took Xiaohu hunting in the mountains and fishing by the lake.
When nothing happened, the two of them stayed in front of Yan's grave for a while. Xiaohu brought the grilled fish to his mother to eat first, and then he and Shuzi enjoyed it slowly.
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan was stunned as he looked at the scriptures on the stone wall in the cave.
Because he accidentally discovered that the old man carved a strange handprint on the stone wall, and he didn't know whether he had learned this handprint in the prehistoric world or during reincarnation.
Engraved on the edge of the handprint was a character from the Qin Dynasty. He recognized this character and it was called "Lin".
Below this, there is also an engraving of the old man's complaints.
The Tao rushes, and it may not be profitable if you use it. Yuanxi is like the origin of all things.
Zhanxi, seems to exist. I don’t know whose son is the first of Emperor Xiang.
There is a way in heaven and earth. Can those who deviate from the scriptures hear the way? Foyun put down the butcher's knife and became a Buddha immediately. However, what is the explanation for the killings he committed before?
Looking further down, there are some vague handwriting, which is obviously due to the old man's inability to do what he wants.
Li Xiuyuan asked himself that he did not pass the Tao Te Ching to Zhang Liang's master, and he could do it just by sitting down? Could it be that Master met the old man back then?
Asking himself, Li Xiuyuan felt that he had not read the Taoist scriptures seriously for many times.
Because the old Taoist priest never urged him, and always said that he would practice the scripture after he became a mortal.
He did not expect that he would actually see fragments of Taoist scriptures left here by the old man in the cave on Tianshan Mountain.
Even that strange mudra was hovering in his mind, as if he had practiced this mudra before.
Could it be that I drank too much soup on the River of Forgetfulness and completely forgot some things in the long river of time?
As Meng Po said, no matter how good your memory is, you will forget everything after drinking Meng Po soup.
Zongheng is a genius like Li Xiuyuan. No matter how good his memory is, he will completely forget certain things after drinking the soul-forgetting soup for a hundred years.
In the following days, Li Xiuyuan sat down under the stone wall, followed the handprints on it over and over again, and practiced tirelessly.
Just like Shuzi and Xiaohu practicing swordsmanship, each move is precise and orderly.
Xiaohu looked at her husband in a daze and couldn't help but asked softly: "Sister Shuzi, has your husband gone crazy? Those are things that the master didn't even understand back then..."
Shuzi was silent for a while and then said: "Don't say anything. If my brother asks you something he doesn't understand, can you tell him? Take care of yourself and continue to draw the sword."
Xiaohu looked at Li Xiuyuan and said worriedly: "What should we do? Will Sir become obsessed? Back then, the master said that he was almost crazy."
Shuzi shook her head and said, "Don't worry, even if you are crazy, my elder brother will not be crazy."
Xiaohu thought for a while and then said: "Let's see what happens first. If Mr. Wang continues to be stupid like this for ten days and a half, I will definitely interrupt his practice."
Shuzi didn't speak, just glanced at the eldest brother who was facing the wall.
However, Li Xiuyuan in front of the stone wall did not pay any attention to the words of the two people. At the moment, he had sunk into this handprint and could not extricate himself.
In front of the stone wall, Li Xiuyuan fell into a memory of the old man left here in his dream.
This was a spiritual thought that the old man left here. The old man who failed to understand this magical handprint could not teach it to Xiaohu, so he had to leave a spiritual thought in the stone wall.
But because of Li Xiuyuan's arrival, he gradually disappeared after some reflections.
The old man left only one sentence: "If someone is destined to understand the secret of mudra, it will shock the whole world... My regret is that I only learned one of the nine types of mudra, and I still don't know how to do it..."
Li Xiuyuan was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that this strange mudra actually had nine postures in total, but the old man had not completed even one posture.
For a moment, I only felt that there were nine large golden characters flying in the sky, and I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The road to spiritual practice is long, and it seems that there is still a lot to learn.
He had never seen any of the nine words the old man said.
Looking at the word "Lin" with a hint of Taoism in front of him, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that only his master could explain it in detail.
"Everything is created in nature, I want to learn this mudra."
Facing the words on the stone wall, Li Xiuyuan felt as if he had pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, stretched out his hand and began to draw along with them.
However, to him, this word is simply a heavenly book. No matter how he speculated, the more he looked at it, the more his head hurt, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.
Li Xiuyuan ignored it, laid out paper and started writing.
I copied it for a long time without any clue, so I had no choice but to stop writing. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a strange phenomenon happened in the divine sea.
I saw the sky of the Divine Sea turned into two black and white yin and yang fish, slowly turning.
The word "Lin" on the stone wall slowly disappeared from the stone wall into his body under the rotation of the Yin-Yang fish.
"Buzz!" sounded. At this moment, Li Xiuyuan's eyes turned into black and white, and his hands kept making seals.
I saw a handprint flying out of his hand, turning into a small golden fish, flying out, and slowly merging with the yin and yang fish in the sky of the divine sea.
At the end, the black and white yin and yang fish turned into a golden light and disappeared into the depths of the divine sea.
At the same moment, Li Xiuyuan stretched out his fingers and wrote horizontally and vertically in the air. In one go, a brand new ancient character appeared on the stone wall in front of him.
However, something incredible happened to him.
When he took back his hand, the ancient characters left by the old man on the stone wall gradually disappeared, leaving only a faint mark, telling him that he had written an ancient character that even Xiaohu could not understand.
It was as if there was a mysterious power between his fingers. The moment his new ancient characters were printed on the stone wall, the old man's complaints left on the stone wall were destroyed.
The voices in the sea of spirits gradually disappeared. It must be that the old man finally let go of the entanglement in his heart and erased all the unclear writings under the stone wall.
Li Xiuyuan fell to the ground and felt a knife carving on the bones of his body, as if the ancient characters he had learned before and learned again today were carved into his bone marrow.
It's like the old Taoist priest is pulling his ears and scolding him. How dare you forget such ancient words?
While the knife was carving his bone marrow, there was also a sharp knife carving his soul.
He seemed to hear the voice of the old Taoist priest: "I asked you to forget that I am now engraved in your soul. Even if you were burned to death and turned into ashes, this word is still there."
Sighing leisurely, Li Xiuyuan murmured: "Master, if it is such an important thing, how could I forget it?"
Naturally, there is no voice of the old Taoist priest coming from the divine sea, only his soliloquy echoing.
What they saw in front of them made Shuzi and Xiaohu stunned. This kind of thing was so magical.
The brother and husband who were in a daze in front of the stone wall turned into two colors. Suddenly there was a black stream, and then it turned into the white snow on Tianshan Mountain.
After a long time, Shuzi said in confusion: "Brother, have you turned into Bai Xue?"
"No, sir, he turned black." Xiaohu corrected him.
Even so, the two of them did not dare to come forward to ask, let alone interrupt Li Xiuyuan's practice.
Shuzi sighed, looked at Xiao Hei and smiled bitterly: "Let's go and rest first. I'll ask my eldest brother again when he wakes up tomorrow. We can't do it now."
Xiaohu nodded and said, "Sister Shuzi, please rest early. We will go fishing tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Shuzi couldn't help shouting softly: "You haven't eaten enough yet?"
Xiao Hu chuckled: "When my brother wakes up tomorrow, let him cook hot pot. Xiao Hu hasn't eaten it in hundreds of years, so he's hungry."
After hearing this, Shuzi suddenly felt her nose sore and smiled: "It's up to you."
But Li Xiuyuan in front of the stone wall was still immersed in his own world.
The ancient characters turned into the strange handprints on the stone wall that continued to evolve in his divine sea...
When this ancient character was imprinted in his soul and carved into his bone marrow, he gradually understood the meaning of this ancient character.
It was as if an old Taoist priest had come to sit in front of him and explain to him the essence of this ancient character.
It turns out that the old man before knew the meaning of this ancient character, but could not comprehend the trace of Taoism and the mysterious power in it.
No wonder the old man has been meditating on it for hundreds of years, but he has never been able to fully understand its power.
In Li Xiuyuan's view, as long as he learns this hand seal, he can communicate with the laws between heaven and earth, attract resonance from heaven and earth, and give himself powerful power.
Is it possible that this ancient character also comes from ancient times?
Or is it the first mysterious skill that the old Taoist priest promised to teach him after he became a mortal?
Even the old Taoist priest could not have imagined that he would encounter this ancient character that he had forgotten again on the stone wall of Tianshan Mountain.
Shuzi was mumbling to herself in her sleep, wondering whether she was dreaming of Xiao Hei or Zhang Liang.
The little tiger in the dream began to grind his teeth again, as if he had never grown up.
Li Xiuyuan in front of the stone wall has entered a state of madness.
His hands were forming seals rapidly. When he stopped, a bolt of lightning flashed across the divine sea, and the ancient characters were wiped out in an instant.
This is the power from ancient times. It seems that in the end we can only ask the old Taoist priest for help.
The ancient characters are so difficult and profound that even the legendary Li Xiuyuan only understood a little bit of the truth in the end.
In the end, Li Xiuyuan gave up his enlightenment and returned to the stone platform to fall asleep.
In his sleep, the ancient scriptures in the Divine Sea echoed softly again.
Li Xiuyuan murmured to himself in the dream: "I just got one, and there are eight more words... Master, you are unreasonable."
In Li Xiuyuan's view, all the troubles he has on his way to practice are because the old Taoist priests are unreasonable.
Like herding sheep, throw yourself to the heavens and ignore them.
…
After sitting in front of the stone wall for three days, Li Xiuyuan temporarily gave up the practice of this ancient character in the sea of gods, just because Xiaohu was not happy.
"Sir, Xiaohu wants to eat hot pot!"
Xiao Hu walked in from outside the cave carrying some fish. He looked at Li Xiuyuan who was sitting at the table boiling water and said with a bitter face, "Xiao Hu hasn't eaten the hot pot cooked by Mr. for hundreds of years."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Shuzi who was following Xiaohu and smiled: "Don't your sister know how to cook? Why don't you go to her and only take my ideas?"
Shuzi who was following behind laughed, "Xiaohu dislikes me, saying that my cooking is not as delicious as big brother's cooking."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them, shook his head, and replied quietly: "For the sake of neglecting you for a few days, I will cook a hot pot today so that you can enjoy it."
This meal made the three of them sweat all over.
Xiaohu shouted that it was too spicy and kept eating.
Shuzi poured wine for the two of them, looked at Xiaohu and complained: "I'm not trying to steal this from you. There are plenty of fish, so eat slowly."
Li Xiuyuan put fish meat into their bowls and said seriously: "You all know these seasonings. Next time, cook them yourself. Don't make things difficult for me again."
Xiaohu nodded, lowered his head and ate the fish.
It wasn't until he finished eating a piece of fish that he asked a question that Li Xiuyuan had never thought about before.
Looking at the fish cooking in the pot, Xiaohu suddenly asked: "Sir, I heard the master tell a story about freeing animals."
