This time, even the old man was shocked. He didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan's unintentional act was inadvertently involved in the cause and effect.
Even he couldn't laugh or cry, what should he do?
You can’t teach too well, but you also have to not teach. As Li Xiuyuan said, this is really a problem.
In the end, it was Li Xiuyuan who made the decision.
Looking at the old man, he said seriously: "Let her practice swordsmanship so that she can be with you in the world; I will teach her some Buddhist Dharma so that she can understand the principles of heaven and earth."
"As for Qindao, she can learn as much as she can."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "I can't stay in the mountains and the imperial city forever. I will go to the desert next year at most and accompany Sanzang to the West to learn scriptures."
The two of them came to a conclusion and no longer struggled.
The old man smiled and said, "I will stay with you on the mountain for two more days tomorrow, and then I will go down the mountain to sell wine. Since I open a wine shop, I must treat every customer well."
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said: "You go back first. I will go to live down the mountain in a few days. When the winter plum blossoms bloom, I will come up the mountain again."
The old man looked at Li Xiuyuan who was moving the piano table into the house, and couldn't help but ask one more question.
"I asked, do you want to set up a maze around here so that no one will break in suddenly?"
Li Xiuyuan nodded and replied: "Let's talk tomorrow."
Watching the old man go back to his house to rest, Li Xiuyuan thought of the stone flat behind the woods on Tianshan Mountain.
The maze was laid by Mr. himself. Although it is simple, it can prevent ordinary monks from entering casually.
Think about it, if you want to have a quiet and comfortable place in the future, you may have to do the same as your husband and set up a maze around the wooden house to prevent the world from easily seeing the scene outside the house.
The Yunqi courtyard in front of me is what the ancients said was the sin of carrying a jade. If you are not careful, you will cause trouble.
…
The next day, as expected by Li Xiuyuan, the anxious Jue'er's little hand was scratched by the strings, and even the strings were stained with blood.
The little girl seemed unusually stubborn and didn't cry.
After Xiaohua wrapped her damaged finger with a silk scarf, she started to bounce again.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and didn't say a word, but continued to swing the hoe, turning over the ground in the garden, adding snow water to spread the seeds, and planting winter vegetables and radishes.
In the afternoon, the old man stopped Juier, who was crying while playing the piano.
It was his responsibility as a master to take her around the mountains and tell the little girl about the principles of spiritual practice.
After dinner, Li Xiuyuan asked Sister Hua to boil a large pot of hot water.
With the body-tempering elixir, Duo'er was allowed to soak in the bucket to complete the first body-tempering process and heal the wounds on her hands.
The little girl screamed in pain, but she didn't dare to crawl because she saw her brother's solemn eyes.
It wasn't until she fell asleep in the barrel an hour later that Li Xiuyuan let Xiaohua carry her back to the house to rest.
Looking at the old man, he said seriously: "I don't have to teach her the principles of spiritual practice, but I can give her a strong physique."
In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, this is his fate with Juier.
The old man smiled when he heard this: "It's up to you to decide."
…
On the third day, when Li Xiuyuan was walking in the mountains and practicing his sword for an hour, he returned to the yard.
The tinkling sound of the piano could already be heard under the eaves.
The little girl who got up early found that the blisters on her hands miraculously disappeared overnight. After getting up and washing herself, she looked at the music score and her own notes and started playing again.
"Little sir, this is the first time my young lady has seriously endured hardship."
Sister Hua said with a smile: "At home, my wife would ask her to read, and she would often go to the garden to play in the middle of the book."
The fingers stopped bleeding overnight, and Jue'er felt that her body was much stronger.
She didn't want Li Xiuyuan to call her right now. After getting up, she started practicing hard over and over again.
Under this condition, within an hour, the fingers of both hands were worn out again.
As a result, Xiaohua had no choice but to tear off the silk scarf and wrap up her damaged fingers just like yesterday.
Even a group of craftsmen couldn't help but be surprised, and they all praised: "Little girl, you are the most powerful girl I have ever seen. Your fingers are bleeding and you don't even take a break."
With tears streaming down her face, she suppressed the pain and said, "My brother said I couldn't stop."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said nothing. He sat quietly holding a knife and putting the purple bamboo in his hand on the stove to bake.
The old man looked at her and comforted her: "Your brother is helping you cut the bamboo sword. This is a treasure that even money can't buy."
Hearing this, the little girl laughed: "Master, now that Jue'er has a bamboo sword, can she practice swordsmanship with you?"
The old man smiled and said, "Yes."
This night, just like yesterday, Li Xiuyuan cooked another bucket of elixir.
Although Jue'er still howled, the sound was not as loud as yesterday, and she no longer crawled out.
She knew that her master and brother were doing this for her own good.
As long as he takes a nap, his fingers will definitely not bleed when he wakes up tomorrow.
She even looked forward to it. If she practiced hard for a few more days, would she never bleed again?
Because she had never seen Li Xiuyuan bleeding.
…
Another day passed, just like yesterday.
When Jue'er's hands were scratched again and the strings were stained with blood.
The old man is going down the mountain with a group of craftsmen.
The old man told Sister Hua and Juier the address in the imperial city.
Finally, he looked at Juier and said with a smile: "I've almost learned the music from your brother, so come down the mountain to accompany the master. I'll take you shopping and buy you some new dresses."
When Jue'er and Sister Hua heard that there was a courtyard in the imperial city, they were naturally very happy.
The two little guys have been looking forward to going shopping in the imperial city for a long time. Now that they have a master with them, they can shop with peace of mind.
Buy everything you like.
In the afternoon, Sister Hua went to sleep in the house.
Li Xiuyuan cleared away the maze in the mountains, and no one came to disturb the quiet moment of the two of them.
In the past few days, Jue'er has learned very quickly. After learning the basic skills, he began to play according to the music score. From raw to mature, he gradually gained a hint of music.
This is what surprised Li Xiuyuan.
Because Yelvzhu had to endure a lot of hardships when he learned Qin Dao. The only difference was that he taught Yelu Mingzhu the most difficult piece of music in the world to learn at an early age.
Even in those few years, the ears of the men, women, and children in Xingyuan suffered a lot.
At that time, Li Xiuyuan didn't care at all. He just wanted to teach all his skills to his brother's daughter, who was also his own daughter.
A pot of spiritual tea purred, and Li Xiuyuan sighed softly.
Kan met Duo'er and said, "Now, let's talk about some principles between heaven and earth."
Jue'er nodded and asked, "Brother, are you still making potions tonight? Jue'er's hand hurts."
Li Xiuyuan laughed: "Of course I have to soak for seven days to change your physique and make you stronger."
Jue'er nodded with satisfaction.
Looking at his little hands, he said with a sad face: "You have worked hard these days. When brother makes Juier stronger, you will not be in pain."
Before drinking the spirit tea, Li Xiuyuan went to the garden to pick up a few leaves and broke off a few leaves from the purple bamboo.
After returning to the eaves and sitting down, Li Xiuyuan took out another talisman paper.
Place all three items in front of Jue and whisper: "Close your eyes and try to feel it with your fingers that are not bleeding."
Jue'er was startled for a moment, and Yi Yan first picked up a leaf of purple bamboo, then closed her eyes and touched it gently.
Her little hands touched carefully until she found the fine lines on the purple bamboo, then she gently put it down and replaced it with a dead leaf.
Different from the feeling of touching Zizhu, this time the expression on her face was a bit more solemn, because the texture of the leaves was completely different from that of Zizhu.
She needed to spend more time to feel the lines on the leaves more clearly.
Finally, Li Xiuyuan handed a rune to her little hand and said softly: "Try this."
Jue'er's fingers gently stroked the talisman, feeling a mysterious aura quietly.
This time, she could hardly feel the lines on the talisman paper. It was not until a long time later that she opened her eyes and shouted, "There are only some lines on this yellow paper."
The textures on the yellow paper are too complicated, and the roots don't feel like the textures of bamboo leaves, and they are completely different from the textures of dead leaves.
Among all the fine lines on the yellow paper itself, Li Xiuyuan also used cinnabar to draw complex lines.
There are real talismans among them, but they are also a cover-up to prevent people from delving deeper.
For a four-year-old girl, it is really difficult for her to find the differences among such complicated patterns.
Li Xiuyuan sighed softly and said, "You are right, that's it. What's the difference between leaves and bamboo leaves?"
Jue'er thought about it seriously, looked at him and replied seriously: "The texture of the bamboo leaves is very clear. The texture of this leaf is a bit messy, but Jue'er can also feel it out."
Li Xiuyuan changed the topic, pointed at the clouds slowly drifting in the sky and asked, "Look at those clouds, what do they look like?"
Jue'er replied without thinking about it: "It looks like a big marshmallow. Although they are floating, it can't be the wind, it's just marshmallow."
Li Xiuyuan frowned slowly, pointed at the table and asked, "Look what's on the table?"
"Some cleaner lines!"
Jue'er replied: "If those craftsmen hadn't polished them carefully, these lines would have been thicker."
Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand and gently touched the almost imperceptible lines on the table, with an imperceptible smile on his face.
He wanted to follow this principle and tell Juier about the more obscure and difficult-to-understand principles of heaven and earth.
Gently stroking the table, Li Xiuyuan continued to ask: "Look carefully, Jue'er, and think about what the lines on this table look like."
"Oh, let me think about it."
Jue'er squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then replied: "The table at Jue'er's house also has lines like this. These lines also look like traces of being pressed by a carriage, right brother?"
Li Xiuyuan laughed when he heard this: "Yes, the carriage driving on the plain will press such lines."
Jue'er was a little stunned when she heard this, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said in a solemn voice: "When you look up and see the clouds floating in the sky, that's how you see the sky."
"You can understand the lines made by the carriages on the ground as the principles on the ground, just like mountains and rivers, like the streets of the imperial city."
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but said: "Even the feathers of birds have different patterns. You can also understand it as a kind of Tao."
When Jue'er heard this, she nodded thoughtfully and laughed: "Does Jue'er have to respect her father and mother at home?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said: "Everyone wants to seek the Tao, but they don't know that the country has its Tao, the family has its Tao, the sky and the earth have their own Tao, the mountains, rivers, and the earth, little bird, you, the meridians in our bodies are not everywhere. road."
Jue'er couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
He chuckled and said, "So we live in a world full of Tao?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "That's why we must fear heaven and earth..."
That night, Juier, who was soaking in a bucket of elixir, howled like a butchered pig.
She shed tears and asked, "Brother, when will Jue'er stop having to endure hardships like this?"
Li Xiuyuan glanced at Sister Hua and murmured to the little girl: "You will suffer more now, and you will suffer less and not bleed when you grow up."
