A pot of radish soup contained a few slices of dried meat, winter bamboo shoots, and a large plate of pickled vegetables just dug from the garden. This was the most delicious meal Qin Xiangyu had ever eaten.
Not to mention that drinking a glass of spiritual wine made her whole body feel like it was on fire.
If the old man hadn't been here, a strong burst of Qi would have neutralized the huge medicinal power for her.
I'm afraid that Qin Xiangyu has already burst the poor meridians in his body at this time.
It wasn't until Li Xiuyuan finished eating and put away the pots and pans that the old man made a pot of spiritual tea with a few slices of freshly picked winter plums.
Qin Xiangyu murmured faintly and opened his eyes from his half-dream state.
Looking at the two of them, he smiled and said, "In my dream, I felt like I was dead."
Looking at the young man holding a cup of spiritual tea, Qin Xiangyu secretly felt lucky and wondered, could it be that from now on, he would be the monk rumored in the world?
The old man poured a cup of spiritual tea and pushed it in front of Qin Xiangyu.
Said: "Drink tea first."
Looking at Qin Xiangyu's appearance, Li Xiuyuan suddenly remembered Ashina who was so eager to seek enlightenment.
Even the princess of the desert and the queen of Dazhou are eager to seek enlightenment, let alone the female shopkeeper who has been dealing with people in the world all year round?
He smiled and said: "Stepping into this threshold is a very simple matter. Just practice is like climbing a mountain in the snow. At this time, you have just stepped on that step."
"We have used a strong dose of medicine today. Although you have suffered some hardships, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation."
Li Xiuyuan pointed at the old man and said: "Since you want to practice, you can follow the seniors at the foot of the mountain and suffer more in the future."
The more sincere Li Xiuyuan's attitude became, the more embarrassed Qin Xiangyu felt.
After thinking for a while, he stood up and kowtowed to the old man three times, and then offered him a cup of spiritual tea. This was considered to have completed the ceremony of apprenticeship in the snow mountain.
The old man couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Li Xiuyuan waving his hands away from the shopkeeper.
He reached out and helped Qin Xiangyu up.
Qin Xiangyu called Master, and then asked with a hint of confusion: "It's just that I still don't understand. How did you let the old monk at the foot of the mountain retreat without a fight, little shopkeeper?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "It's not that he retreated, it was that I left."
Qin Xiangyu was stunned and said sheepishly: "Sorry, I'm presumptuous...So, you will be my senior brother from now on?"
Holding the spiritual tea in his hand and taking a sip, Qin Xiangyu felt a strong floral fragrance, which reminded Qin Xiangyu of the blooming winter plum trees in the garden.
I couldn't help but let out a sigh and thought about using winter plums to make tea. I'm afraid only this guy in front of me can think of it, right?
It was not like she had never seen cold plums before, but the faint cold fragrance in her mouth was something she had never tasted before.
For a moment, I couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head. When the old man saw him, he could only reply: "He is not your senior brother. You have a senior sister."
Thinking of Xiao Juier's quirky appearance, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh lightly.
If that little girl knew that she had a senior sister, she would probably cause trouble again.
He didn't do anything, but he had the satisfaction of being a gentleman.
Thinking about Xiaohei back then, Shuzi and Xiaohu later, each had their own differences.
Unexpectedly, when I came to Datang, the three guys I met were really unique in every leaf, a rare sight in the world.
He sighed, looked at Qin Xiangyu and said, "If she comes here in the spring, I'm afraid she will be five years old."
In Li Xiuyuan's view, although Jue'er is young, in terms of intelligence and talent, she does contain extremely high wisdom. Being Qin Xiangyu's senior sister is enough.
However, Qin Xiangyu was stunned for a moment.
I thought that I was very thick-skinned, otherwise I wouldn't be able to be the innkeeper, but I didn't expect that I still have a five-year-old senior sister.
This, how can we say it out loud when we meet again?
The old man sighed and said with a smile: "I can only say that you came a little late. That little girl is a smart little girl."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and said: "If there are three of us, there must be my teacher. She is just young, but her cultivation level is not much lower than yours."
There were too many truths that he didn't want to talk about, because the old man was Qin Xiangyu's master.
Right now, he just wants to wait for the arrival of spring and the departure of summer.
Qin Xiangyu, holding a cup of spiritual tea, thought about standing in the wind and watching a group of craftsmen building an inn when the spring came and the flowers bloomed.
Suddenly a little girl came out from behind and shouted something about junior sister.
For a moment, it was like the spiritual tea that had just been taken into the mouth. There was a floral fragrance in the mouth, and there was an indescribable bitterness.
Secretly, my emotions are very complicated.
Just thinking that the dream I had been looking forward to for so many years was realized in one day, and I became a monk after all.
Thinking of this, he gradually regained his composure.
Because she knew that for someone like Li Xiuyuan to live alone in a snowy mountain, there must be a peerless master behind him.
But right now, she is very satisfied.
Not to mention, the master is at No. 46, and there is only a wall between them.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiangyu looked at Li Xiuyuan and said quietly: "Now, I seem to owe you a big favor."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and took a sip of the hot tea in the cup. He felt that the freshly picked petals were indeed a bit colder.
Looking at Qin Xiangyu, he replied: "The master of you two is the senior, not me, so there is no need to accept my favor."
After thinking for a while, he said: "The monk is afraid that he will leave the imperial city in the autumn, so you have to prepare the money for him."
Bridges lead to bridges, and roads lead to roads.
Li Xiuyuan still reminded Qin Xiangyu to pay attention to the previously agreed deal, although he didn't care about paying her these gold coins.
If this guy really can't get it out, there's no telling if it will fall on him in the end.
Qin Xiangyu couldn't help but sigh, thinking that the little shopkeeper was indeed a man of the world, and he could talk about money in this world so lightly.
It's just that this can be regarded as her property, and even paying for it is what she agreed to do before.
When I think of what happened today, I can't help but feel joy on my face.
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, he said seriously: "Don't worry, little shopkeeper, I will give him the full amount before the monk leaves. It's indispensable."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "After all, you still have the advantage... Today, I will gather my energy and worship my senior as my teacher. You must know that he has said that he will no longer accept disciples."
"If you hadn't gotten along well with him these days, I'm afraid you would have gathered your energy and become a monk, and in the end you would have stopped at this level."
Qin Xiangyu, who was holding a cup of spiritual tea, was secretly proud of himself. When he heard Li Xiuyuan's words, he couldn't help but said angrily: "I will definitely be better than now in the future."
The old man looked at the falling snowflakes outside the hall, smiled and said, "That's true."
Li Xiuyuan was speechless for a moment.
It wasn't until the three of them drank two courses of tea that they asked: "How many days are left until the New Year, are you planning to spend it in the mountains? Have you bought any food?"
The old man smiled lightly and replied: "Yan'er liked fireworks back then, so I bought some by the way."
Li Xiuyuan was startled when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid they have already forgotten my brother, right?"
…
Old friends come into my dream, knowing that I will remember each other forever.
Since Xiao Hei left with Xiao Qing (Qing Qing) and Yan'er, he has never dreamed of him again.
It was like disappearing into the vast starry sky, making it impossible for him to find it.
Seeing Qin Xiangyu getting up to clean up the wooden house where he lived, the old man looked at Li Xiuyuan and sighed faintly: "The master said that Qingqing's father is the Immortal Emperor, so it would be okay for Xiao Hei to follow him."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said quietly: "Actually, Qingqing also has a name, Tantai Xiaoqing. She was still a green eagle when she met me..."
Thinking of Xiao Qing, Li Xiuyuan thought of his master who had ascended and left.
He sighed and said: "Later, my teacher recognized her as his daughter and gave her this name. I didn't expect that she had followed one of my seniors to the Nine Heavens..."
He has too many memories of Xiao Qing. After all, during the days when he lost his memory, Xiao Zhi was always by his side except when he was in the Demon Realm and was in trouble with Xiao Long'er.
Even his biological sister Li Xiaoxue did not have such an opportunity.
The old man shook his head and said: "The master knows this. Maybe she has to rebuild her life before her lost father comes to Dazhou to find her, right?"
"Bullshit, you've already re-cultivated your life, but you still have to remember the family ties and fate of three lives and three lives? Can the Immortal Emperor be superior to the way of heaven?"
Li Xiuyuan drank the spiritual tea in the cup in one gulp and said quietly: "I don't accept that guy's favor, as long as Xiao Hei and Xiao Qing get along well."
The old man thought of something and said: "I always feel that you are very resistant to contact with the Immortal Emperor. The master said that you have already rejected that guy once, but I didn't expect Shuzi to reject his kindness for you again."
"Since Shuzi calls me brother, she naturally understands my temperament. It doesn't matter that I am weak. If I insist on getting into a favor with an immortal emperor, I will be the one who is embarrassed in the end."
With the status of the Immortal Emperor, if Shuzi really accepted his favor, she would at most take Shuzi Xiaohu and go back to practice with Xiaohei.
That's not much different than having an extra pet at home.
And Xiaohei had to leave together because of the relationship between Qingqing and Yan'er. These are two different choices.
Not to mention that Shuzi and Xiaohu have better choices. Since the old Taoist priest promised him, he will definitely take the two of them away from Dazhou.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan suddenly felt cloudy in his heart, and said quietly: "I have to walk my own path, and the same goes for Shuzi and Xiaohu."
"What about Xiao Hei?"
The old man frowned and asked, "I'm afraid that if Xiao Hei follows, he will suffer a loss and be wronged."
With his hand, Li Xiuyuan took a piece of snowflake from the sky outside the hall and watched the snowflake slowly melting in the palm of his hand...
He said calmly: "I have repeatedly told him that except for his master and the old monk, he is not allowed to mention his life experience to anyone..."
If he guessed correctly, Qingqing's final love would still fall on Xiao Hei.
Not to mention Yan'er who can't live without her brother all day long. I'm afraid the Immortal Emperor won't be able to do anything about this with his own daughter.
Who told fate to arrange it so that the two little guys met Xiao Hei when they were at their most vulnerable and helpless?
After thinking about it, I can only blame Chu Feng for being an idiot.
It was a good marriage, but he was cheated by his uncle, and he almost harmed Xiao Longer. This matter is not over as long as he returns to the Shura Heaven.
It’s hard to say, we still have to put an end to the cause and effect of that year.
The old man thought for a while and said: "There are still five days until the New Year. We can first let the new disciples get familiar with the swordsmanship in the wind and snow."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Qin Xiangyu who had changed into another piece of clothing and asked: "By the way, do you want to practice swordsmanship? Or a knife?"
Qin Xiangyu was stunned, then thought for a moment and asked, "What does my little senior sister practice?"
"Her? She learned swordsmanship."
Li Xiuyuan glanced at the old man, which meant that you don't have any swords, they are just ordinary things.
The old man sighed, took out an antique sword and placed it on the table.
He told Qin Xiangyu, "I got this from a distant place for my master. It's not a sword, but it's very sharp."
Li Xiuyuan was shocked, thinking that you actually brought a sword from the ancient world to this guy, and you were not afraid that she would cause a bloody storm in the Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty.
Qin Xiangyu didn't expect that the master had already prepared the treasure for her. She couldn't help but let out a soft sigh and was speechless for a long time.
