"Yes, that's the truth."
Li Xiuyuan looked into her eyes and said seriously: "To live in this world, one must know the word awe."
Jue'er thought for a while, raised her head and asked, "Brother, are you asking Jue'er to know how to respect the master?"
"Not just your master."
Li Xiuyuan pointed at the sky and said: "We are born in this world. First of all, we must fear heaven and earth, and we must respect our parents and elders at home..."
"For Confucian Acacia, if your father is an official in the court, he is in awe of the king of the Tang Dynasty and the colleagues around him."
"As far as heaven and earth are concerned, we still respect those dead sages and some invisible ghosts and gods..."
Having said this, Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "When you enter the school, your teacher will teach you these principles again."
Jue'er nodded and said with a smile: "Jue'er remember it. I'll ask Daddy when I get back."
Nowadays, a girl's parents are her God. She has remembered a new truth and she is afraid that she will be the first one to check with her parents when she comes home.
Li Xiuyuan chuckled and continued: "Let's talk about right and wrong."
Jue'er nodded.
At this time, the old man finished his work in the house and quietly returned to the table to sit down. He reached out to clean the remaining tea in the pot.
Now that the tea tree behind the house has grown into an ancient tea tree, there will surely be spiritual tea to pick next spring.
Not to mention that the old man also accepted a disciple in Datang, so he was naturally in a good mood.
"Speaking of right and wrong, let me first tell you what Buddha is and what Buddha means."
Li Xiuyuan glanced at the old man and then said: "Same as before, when you have no murderous intention in your heart, you are compassionate, and you can't help crying when you see the suffering of the world..."
"At this moment, you are the Buddha in the world. Similarly, if you want the wealth of the world to belong to you alone, you would like to kill all the ministers in the world who want to rebel against you..."
Sighing faintly, Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said: "In that moment, you were the devil in the world."
The old man shook his head in silence, thought for a while and continued to make tea.
Jue'er thought for a while and then asked: "Jue'er seems to understand a little bit, what is right and wrong? Brother."
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "As far as the world of Buddhism is concerned, there is no right or wrong in the world, only willingness and unwillingness."
"Just like when you came here, grandpa was willing to accept you as his disciple, and I happened to be in a good mood and was willing to teach you how to play the piano. If it were your brother or sister tomorrow..."
Li Xiuyuan paused, took a sip of the spiritual tea that the old man had just brewed.
"How is it?" Juier asked, tilting her head.
"How about it?" Li Xiuyuan smiled: "I probably don't even have the mood to let them sit here and drink a cup of tea. This is the difference between willingness and unwillingness."
"For the same thing, everyone's mood will be different because they are facing different people. Do you think my brother did it wrong, or did he do it right?"
Li Xiuyuan uses the simplest language to explain the most complex truths in the world to girls.
Jue'er thought for a moment and nodded, squinting her eyes and laughing.
He replied: "It's like sometimes when my mother asks me to read poetry books and I want to sleep. After a while, when my father calls me, I will read for a while...isn't that right?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly: "That's pretty much it. You can't understand some truths until you grow older."
】
One day, Li Xiuyuan felt that he had talked to Juier enough and stopped instilling new principles into her.
But for the four-year-old child, it was the time when heaven and earth became one, and he wanted her to play in the mountains for a few more days.
Pointing to the guqin on the table, he said: "Your master is a poor man and doesn't have much to treasure. My brother will give you this guqin. Ask your sister to help you get it when you go down the mountain."
Jue'er exclaimed when she heard this and laughed happily.
In her eyes, no treasure is as good as the guqin on the table.
The old man took one look and couldn't help but ask: "Did you take the time to buy this too?"
Li Xiuyuan laughed: "I just happened to rob a few bandits. I had no place to spend this spiritual stone, so I bought some random things."
Hearing this, the old man didn't know what to say, so he could only smile and said, "Seeing that it's getting late, I'm going to take back the vegetables that have been dried, so that I can eat them slowly in the winter."
The craftsmen who were working also stopped working and went down the mountain one by one.
Li Xiuyuan patted Juier's little hand and said, "Think about the techniques I told you today and try to see if you can play a complete note."
After finishing speaking, he drank up the spiritual tea in the cup, got up and went into the house to rest.
With the old man and the maid around, he just happened to be lazy and rest for a while.
Tomorrow, we can plow the ground and replant some vegetables that grew in winter.
Waiting for the old man to collect the vegetables, Li Xiuyuan went back to the house to rest.
Sister Hua, who had finished cleaning the house, came over and stood quietly in front of Juier. She smiled and said, "Miss, how come you are here to learn from a teacher?"
Jue'er nodded and replied: "You don't know, my master is a god, and my brother's piano playing is not much different from that of a god."
After saying that, he walked to the piano table and sat down, holding Li Xiuyuan in his hand and telling her those skills.
There was a piano score on the table. I couldn't help but stretched out my little hand and gently plucked the strings.
An unexpected encounter in the mountains and a most ordinary dinner made the little girl in front of him gather energy overnight, and from then on, he had a causal relationship with Li Xiuyuan and the old man.
His fingers gently plucked the strings, and a quiet tinkling sound came out.
This made the little girl giggle. She looked at the girl in the yellow dress in front of her and said with a smile, "Sister Hua, Jue'er can also play the piano."
Sister Hua smiled and nodded, sitting quietly next to her and looking at Juier.
Jue'er followed the fingering techniques she had copied and began to practice piano music for the first time in her life.
With his head resting on the autumn wind of the mountain, Li Xiuyuan murmured.
"Master, who do you think this girl could be? Should I ask the old shopkeeper to teach her how to practice and help her embark on a higher level of cultivation?"
The mountain wind was blowing strongly, and there was a faint fragrance coming from the tea tree behind the house.
I don't know how long it took before a lukewarm voice from an old Taoist priest came from the divine sea.
"I'll scare you to death if I tell you. Why did this little guy meet you?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "I don't know either. I was just afraid that the transplanted plum tree would not survive, so I mixed a little of that into the snow water..."
"The father and his daughter just ate a carrot and gained energy overnight."
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that a radish would become a magical elixir that could make a girl less than four years old gather energy overnight."
The old Taoist priest chuckled: "You just waved your hand and turned the front and rear of the wooden house into a paradise. How can you blame others for coming to inquire out of curiosity?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed silently: "It's all the disciple's fault."
The old Taoist priest shook his head: "You are right. If you pour the snow water carefully, it might be the same as the Apricot Blossom Valley on Tianshan Mountain. I look forward to drinking your Hanmei Lingcha next year."
"I think so too." Li Xiuyuan laughed upon hearing this.
The old Taoist priest thought about what was wrong and then lectured: "I don't know how you could sneak back to Tianyu City... After you left, the two little girls from Tianxiang Academy followed the girl named Feng to find you..."
Li Xiuyuan was dumbfounded when he heard this. His thoughts were not so exaggerated, right?
I just accidentally met the master I was longing for, and I just helped him break through a realm.
The old Taoist priest then said: "You would never have thought to death that there is a black dragon that is about to turn into a dragon hidden by the big lake where your master broke through. If it weren't for the magic circle you left behind..."
This time, Li Xiuyuan was finally shocked.
I and my master made a huge noise at the lake that day. How could this guy hold back his breath and lie on the bottom of the lake?
Fortunately, Youruo and Feng Ruyu were fine, otherwise the cause and effect would have fallen on him again.
Thinking of this, I could only mutter to myself: "I didn't expect that these three guys would be a blessing in disguise and become the great monks of Tianyu City."
"Are you very proud?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said seriously: "Now, your third master's wife is taking Mu Mu and Nangong Ruyu on an outing all the way to Tianyu City."
"What should I do? I didn't expect them to come when I went there. I didn't leave anything behind."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "When Mumu sees my master, he will probably scold me again."
"Probably not. Isn't there still the black dragon meat? Although it is not a great supplement to Mu Mu and the others, it is a good thing for your parents and sister."
The old Taoist priest said quietly: "Just in time, let Mu Mu take it home."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, but didn't say anything further. After that, he wanted to go home.
Thinking of this, he still couldn't help but ask: "Master, please tell me, who is Juier? Can I teach her more..."
The old Taoist priest sighed and said seriously: "I can teach you some Qin Dao, but my martial arts cultivation cannot surpass that side's Heavenly Dao."
"In fact, you also know her last story. You must not be soft-hearted for a moment and disrupt the process of history."
At the end, the old Taoist priest said something in an almost inaudible voice.
Li Xiuyuan, who was so frightened that he was half asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and murmured: "Master, please don't scare me."
Just listen to the whistling of the mountain wind, where is the voice of the old Taoist priest?
Leaning on the bedside, Li Xiuyuan thought about Juier's future and couldn't help shouting: "What are these things? I can't tell if I don't have any interactions with them."
While complaining, a ding-dong sound came from outside the house.
Although it was a bit dry, it was not as harsh as a beginner's playing, and it was quite decent. Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.
I thought that even though he didn't have Nangong Ruyu's talent, he was still a rare talent in the Tang Dynasty.
"Jue'er, let's eat first and continue practicing tomorrow." The old man's voice sounded outside the house.
"Miss, go and wash your hands quickly, and then call the young gentleman to get up for dinner." It was Sister Hua who was urging Jui'er.
With a sigh, Li Xiuyuan lifted off the blanket on his body.
Moving outside the house, he looked at the unhappy little girl and smiled: "Qin Dao, like martial arts, is also a long road. How can you learn it in one day?"
"Oh." Jue'er blinked, smiled, and slipped into the kitchen.
Maybe in her heart, only her brother really cares for her, right?
That night, the vegetables the old man cooked were vegetables bought from down the mountain, which did not frighten Sister Hua who was here for the first time.
Jue'er is a good girl and she doesn't know where all the radishes in the field went yesterday.
Or maybe her father told her something before he left, letting her know that she should abide by some rules. After all, this is not her own house.
After eating quietly, the little girl wanted to play the piano, but was stopped by Li Xiuyuan.
"Be obedient." Li Xiuyuan said softly: "Now is the time for you to grow. You should rest on time and get more sleep. I will cut a bamboo sword for you when I am free in two days."
He planned to leave his sword training to the old man.
He wanted to make the girl understand completely that he could teach her to play the piano, but that martial arts practice could only be learned from the old man.
Jue'er glanced at the guqin beside her and seemed a little reluctant. After thinking about it, she followed Sister Hua back to the house to rest.
After the two of them washed up and closed the door, Li Xiuyuan repeated what the old Taoist said.
The old man was stunned.
He smiled and said, "In this case, Master has given us a difficult problem."
