The ancients said that good dreams never last long, and so on.
In short, it is just one sentence: If God wants to torment you, he will not let you live a quiet and ordinary life for a few years.
On the one hand, there are other reasons, but on the other hand, it is because in Li Xiuyuan's view, he has seen almost everything about Yunjuan Yunshu in Da Zhou, and it is time to go back.
In the view of Li Xiuyuan and the old shopkeeper, the remaining days here are spent with the younger brothers and sisters. They try to live as long as possible so that the two younger sisters can enjoy more family happiness.
that is it.
Even so, God did not do what he wanted.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, a strange thing happened to Qingqing and Yan'er.
The two little girls became addicted to sleep, and they were awake for no more than two hours in a row every day, so they clamored to go back to the house to sleep.
At first, Li Xiuyuan thought that the two of them were sick, so both Li Xiuyuan and the old shopkeeper were extremely anxious.
While boiling the elixir for the two little guys, they carefully felt their pulse.
Then they finally found no solution, so they took a vacation at the academy so that the two of them could rest at home for the time being.
Even so, Xiao Hei was extremely anxious.
Even after staying in the palace for a few days with Qingyu and her two younger sisters, the Queen and Mrs. Li invited the imperial doctor to examine them, but they could not find the reason.
After a lot of trouble, the old shopkeeper could only look at Li Xiuyuan and said: "The two little guys are fine. They are both monks in the Golden Core Realm. How can they be infected with diseases in the world?"
Xiao Hei was shocked when he thought of his experience at the foot of Qingniu Mountain when he had a high fever.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan, he said: "Brother Xiaohei also had a high fever at the foot of Qingniu Mountain. Later, the old monk said that it was my fate and not an illness. After I ate a green pear, I returned to the Imperial City of Northern Qi to achieve nirvana..."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said with a wry smile: "In this case, I can only ask Master what is going on."
On the other hand, Qingqing and Yan'er were obedient. They looked at Xiaohei and Li Xiuyuan and said, "Brother is fine, we just want to sleep."
Li Xiuyuan touched Qingqing and Yan'er's heads and said seriously: "You are my sisters, I will definitely find a way to cure you."
Shuzi and Xiaohu knew that their abilities were not enough, so they could only worry on the sidelines.
It's night, and the sky is full of stars.
Sitting alone under the eaves, Li Xiuyuan held a cup of herbal tea, looked up at the night sky and asked blankly: "Master, did this disciple do something wrong, and God will let the two sisters suffer?"
】
The stars were shining brightly, and the voice of the old Taoist priest rang out in the divine sea: "You can't be blamed for this. It should be said that it was caused by Xiao Hei. He was in a hurry to let Yan'er transform..."
"How old are the two little girls? Fortunately, there was an old turtle who refined part of the elixir for them..."
"It's just that the changes happened so fast overnight that their bones started to fall off again before their bones could grow. If it were you, you wouldn't be able to bear it..."
Quietly, the old Taoist priest told Li Xiuyuan the reason why the two little girls were so sleepy.
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I'm afraid that if I were replaced by Xiao Hei, Dang Cheng would do the same thing. After all, the elixir is hard to find, and Dang is the only opportunity to make Yan'er transform."
The old Taoist priest sighed: "Having said that, the two little guys will have to suffer. They will become more and more sleepy, and they may not be awake for more than an hour every day..."
"Is there any way to heal it?"
Li Xiuyuan asked quietly: "Or will this situation only last for a few months? Master, please tell me, no matter what the cost."
"This is not a matter of just a few months. If they don't get treatment, they will spend at least ten years sleeping to solve the hidden dangers in their bodies..."
The old Taoist priest said solemnly: "They will spend ten years, their most precious ten years, using sleep to recover from their physical defects."
"What's the flaw? Don't the disciples have any magic medicine that can cure them? Even if the disciples don't have it, the master and the senior monk can think of a way, right?"
Li Xiuyuan did not believe that his master's incredible ability could not cure the physical defects of his two sisters.
The old Taoist priest shook his head: "We cannot use elixirs beyond this world to cure unless..."
"Unless what?" Li Xiuyuan was anxious.
"Unless you can find two Buddhist relics in Dazhou, let the old turtle refine them for them, and repair the imperfections in their skulls that have not fully evolved..."
The old Taoist priest sighed: "It is better to ask for help from others than to ask for yourself. I can only tell you the way, but I can't help you. Even the old monk doesn't have the relic..."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "So it was the elixir that caused the trouble?"
Thinking that he couldn't, he continued to ask: "Qingyu and Gao Yue'er also took the elixir, doesn't it mean that they will do the same?"
"That's not possible. The two girls are already adults, and the bones of their bodies have already been finalized. Even with the power of the elixir, it will only change their entire physiques..."
The old Taoist priest smiled: "This is the fate of these two little guys, but it is your disaster."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied quietly: "Xiao Hei has done enough for them, leave these things to me."
The old Taoist priest waved his hand and said: "This is the last thing you will do in Great Zhou... It's time for you to go to the next place and see the world you want to see."
"so fast!"
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said: "I haven't spent enough time with them. I want to live here for two more years..."
Just like every time, the unreliable master just lost his voice when he complained.
After sighing, Li Xiuyuan shouted faintly: "Master, you are unreasonable."
This night is a long night.
Even if Li Xiuyuan thought about it all night, he couldn't think of a proper solution.
Almost all the temples in the Zhou Dynasty were demolished by Emperor Wu's order. Now, except for the Northern Qi Dynasty, the nearest temple is the Xilin Temple under the snow-capped mountains.
He never expected that he and Xiao Hei would meet Emperor Ming in the Buddhist hall of Xilin Temple.
At the last moment, he had to go to Xilin Temple to obtain a Buddhist relic for his two sisters.
Think about it, the trip to the Great Zhou Dynasty is really like drawing a circle, starting from .asxs. and circling back at the last moment.
With a solution, Li Xiuyuan was no longer anxious.
Two bamboo swords have been sharpened. One is engraved with the word "Xiaoqing" and the other is engraved with "Yan'er."
Xiao Hei looked at it and asked confusedly: "Brother, why don't you carve Qingqing's name?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and murmured to himself: "Qingqing is Xiaoqing, she will one day awaken the memory of her previous life."
For Qingqing, Li Xiuyuan didn't know if she was reincarnated or if she had traveled to this world.
But, it turned out to be unimportant to him.
As long as Xiao Hei stays with her, that's enough.
The runes engraved on the two purple bamboo swords are the same as Li Xiuyuan's. They are both a flame and an acceleration rune.
This is also the reason why he has been slowly polishing it for so many days.
While the two sisters were awake, Li Xiuyuan explained in detail how to activate the runes to Qingqing and Yan'er.
Finally, he looked at the old shopkeeper and said, "Senior, please find time to buy a piece of animal skin and sew the scabbards on them."
The old shopkeeper nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it."
Yan'er held it in her hand and waved it around, hugged Li Xiuyuan and kissed it, then giggled and said, "Yan'er can also practice sword practice with my sister."
Qingqing looked at the two characters on the bamboo sword and was stunned. She took Li Xiuyuan's hand and asked, "Brother, why is Qingqing's bamboo sword called Xiaoqing?"
In her opinion, her sister's sword has Yan'er on it, so her sword should also be Qingqing.
Li Xiuyuan touched her head and said dotingly: "This is a secret. I can't tell you yet, but I promise that one day, you will know."
Qingqing felt relieved after hearing this and carefully put away the bamboo sword.
He hugged Li Xiuyuan and kissed him, giggling and saying, "He will be Qingqing's baby from now on."
Then, Li Xiuyuan spent another two days demonstrating the sword drawing technique and snow-cutting sword technique to his two sisters one by one.
It wasn't until Qingqing and Yan'er understood the truth, until they could strike out a sword in the wind with one move after another, that Li Xiuyuan smiled with confidence.
Sitting quietly aside, Shuzi shouted: "Brother is biased. You didn't teach Shuzi and Xiaohu so carefully back then."
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I didn't teach you carefully, when Xiaohu was with me in the desert, I taught him every move."
Xiaohu laughed when he heard this: "Xiaohu is so stupid, Sister Shuzi scolded me several times."
The old shopkeeper was thoughtful. Looking at Li Xiuyuan's actions these days, he knew something was going to happen.
I just didn't know what to do, so I just watched silently.
On this day, the old Taoist priest took Gao Yue'er down the mountain to No. 47. Xiao Hei bought two tables of food and wine from the restaurant and went home.
It was a rare reunion on the 47th.
Gao Yue'er even took Xiao Hei's hand and shouted: "Master and I have broken through again on the mountain. In a few years, we may catch up with senior sister's practice."
That night, Li Xiuyuan took out his treasured wine and drank three glasses with the old Taoist master and his apprentice, Shuzi and Xiaohu, Xiaohei and his two younger sisters.
This night is the night of everyone's breakthrough.
But it has nothing to do with Xiao Hei and Li Xiuyuan. Because Xiao Hei drank too much, he would not have broken the situation long ago.
A bright moon was shining quietly on the Imperial City of Great Zhou, and everyone after breaking through had already fallen asleep.
Even Xiao Hei, who had had a few more drinks, went back to the house to rest early and fell asleep leaning on the bedside.
In the living room, Li Xiuyuan lit a stick of incense, took out the guqin that had not been played for a long time, and gently wiped it with a silk scarf.
The sound of ding-dong sounded, but it was the song "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" played by Li Xiuyuan in Fengyun City for the first time.
Like a clear spring flowing in the mountains, like a breeze blowing in the forest, or like a hundred birds singing in the sky...
After the song ended, it was replaced by the spring breeze of Xuanwu Continent. The autumn wind rustled and the flowers were withered, but I was looking forward to the spring breeze of the coming year coming early.
Just in the dream, Qingqing changed her body and returned to a certain day in a certain year and month.
The sound of the piano between Li Xiuyuan's fingers changed again.
It became the most played piece of music at the back of the academy, "Si Wu Xie".
There are three hundred poems, which can be summed up in one sentence: "Thoughts are innocent."
Deep in love, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sing softly.
I miss someone far away.
I feel something, deep in my heart.
…
Autumn has not yet dawned, and the wind and rain are coming.
If you don’t learn Toutu Dharma, you will never forget the past.
…
Shuzi in the dream broke through one day, and wanted to mutter to herself in the dream: "Brother, don't leave Shuzi."
The little tiger in the dream pulled Li Xiuyuan's sleeve and shouted: "Sir, the little tiger wants to be with you."
The frowning Xiao Hei shouted in his dream: "Brother, what should Xiao Hei do?"
Yan'er grinded her teeth and asked, "Brother, don't forget to make a scabbard for Yan'er."
Only half asleep and half awake, Qingqing seemed to have returned to the past and shouted: "Li Xiuyuan, where are you going?"
The starlight in the sky fell quietly on Li Xiuyuan's body. It was a brilliant night, and the seven stars illuminated the wanderers in the world.
Playing the piano with both hands, Li Xiuyuan, who was half asleep and half awake, turned into a star at this moment, like the brightest star in the nine heavens.
With his soul flying for nine days, Li Xiuyuan silently stared at the snow-capped mountains.
At that time, the master's wooden house had collapsed, and the old Taoist priest rebuilt a wooden house.
The tomb on the top of the snow mountain is still bathed in starlight, but the old friend has entered reincarnation.
Quietly, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but murmured: "The wind is rustling, the wind is rustling..."
