Li Xiuyuan looked at Qingyu and sighed, and said quietly: "What is Qin Xiangyu's cultivation level? What is your current cultivation level? Have you ever thought about it?"
At this point, Gao Yue'er said quietly: "Senior sister, as long as we slowly recover our cultivation, we will be able to break through the void and ascend, just like the master."
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "You have to think about it, among the monks in this world who have reached such a state of cultivation, who is not hundreds of years old? Who is willing to waste time on having children?"
"What about the young monk? Why can he return to secular life and marry a wife?"
Qingyu said reluctantly: "I can understand Qin Xiangyu, is it possible that the young monk has the same cultivation level as her?"
Sighing, Li Xiuyuan replied: "When I separated from Wuliang, his cultivation level seemed not as high as that of Chunxiang Yu. Like Sanzang, he mainly practiced Buddhism."
As soon as these words came out, Qingyu immediately stopped complaining.
Holding one of Gao Yue'er's arms, he lamented for a long time.
Then he said leisurely: "Junior sister is right, it seems that we really can't find such monks in the Tang Dynasty."
Gao Yue'er smiled, patted Qing Yu's shoulder gently and said, "Senior sister, our road is not in the Tang Dynasty. I want to go to another world to find the master."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, thinking that it was not easy to reason with the two women at this time.
After drinking the remaining tea in the cup, he picked up the winter bamboo shoots on the ground, looked at the two of them and said, "I'm going to cook, and you two can chat slowly."
After Li Xiuyuan left the living room, Gao Yue'er scratched Qingyu's nose.
He smiled and said, "Sir, what you said makes sense. If it weren't for Xiao Hei, we sisters would have died many times. Senior sister, you can't be greedy, right?"
Qingyu sighed and curled her lips helplessly: "How can I be dissatisfied? My husband saved both of our lives. I am very satisfied..."
"Then you are disgusting sir. Be careful and I will file a complaint with you to see how you ascend in the future."
"Junior sister, you are unreasonable..."
In the kitchen, Li Xiuyuan peeled the winter bamboo shoots in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, there are no such things as wishful thinking in this world."
He knew that Ajue in the Hongchen Inn had a life experience that he didn't want to tell, but he didn't ask.
This is also the principle of his life, just like he will not tell Ah Jue his life experience.
Everyone should keep some secrets of their own, instead of opening their wounds and exposing them to the sun from time to time.
The story Ah Jue told him was already shocking. He originally thought that he had become a mere dust in the world of mortals. For this reason, he no longer shied away from even pouring out night fragrance.
Unexpectedly, Ah Jue was washing different stinky feet of girls in Yingyue Tower, just to earn the five cents and the alcohol debt he owed after being cheated.
The voice of the old Taoist priest came from the divine sea: "It's only been half a year, and you can't help it anymore?"
"How is that possible?"
Li Xiuyuan replied while cutting the winter bamboo shoots in his hand: "Whether I am on the mountain or at the bottom of the mountain, there are some things that I can't avoid..."
"And there are some things that I don't want to take care of, and I can't take care of them. The best way is to maintain the status quo. If they can't find my person, they won't involve me."
The old Taoist priest laughed: "Then the inn is not peaceful, there is a big trouble around you."
After washing a piece of beef and throwing it into the pot, adding spices and water, Li Xiuyuan squatted down to light a fire.
He replied: "Whether it's Ah Jue's trouble or the trouble A Mu is about to encounter, in my opinion, it's not a big trouble."
"That's true... When the troubles in the world cannot be avoided, even if you slash them away with a sword, it won't affect anything... Just think of it as practicing Buddhism under the abyss for decades."
The old Taoist priest laughed with satisfaction: "Even the old monk didn't expect you to make such a decision."
While lighting the fire, Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't there nothing I can do about it, my disciple? Who told me to be so soft-hearted and promise that I would never leave Chang'an for decades to come?"
"Just slowly enjoy your practice in this world of mortals. In my opinion, all your past practice has been in vain. It only counts from the moment you hide in the inn."
The old Taoist priest thought about what was wrong and asked again: "What are you going to do with these two little girls? I will not take the blame for you again."
"They have already seen the hope of ascending. Let them recover slowly on the snow-capped mountains. I won't know where they will go until the last moment."
Speaking of this, Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said: "The disciple got a dragon ball, but he didn't dare to bother the master. Finally, he asked the old monk to divide one into two and gave it to Gao Yue'er and Jue'er in the palace..."
The old Taoist priest was trembling with anger and couldn't help but cursed: "Good guy, are you trying to kill two little dragon girls in this world?"
"Master..."
After shouting for a long time, there was no voice from the old Taoist priest in the sea of gods.
Li Xiuyuan chuckled and thought to himself, you are angry, show me, I just want to create two dragon girls in the world, but where will the last three go.
But she didn't think about it right now. After all, she really couldn't bother her master with this matter again.
Looking at the vast sky outside the window, I couldn't help but murmured: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Let's talk about it then."
After much deliberation, where can I find a paradise in Tianxiang City?
There are some things that you don’t necessarily need to trouble your master about.
However, this is just Li Xiuyuan's wishful thinking. If Gao Yue'er, Qing Yu, and Duo'er really turn into dragon girls, the place where they ascend will no longer be Tianyu City.
However, just as he thought, this was an afterthought, and even he didn't know what everything would look like in a few decades.
I don’t even know what kind of mood he would have felt at that time.
Who says time can't change a person's state of mind? After all, Li Xiuyuan is just a mortal right now.
…
The mountain had been quiet for less than ten days before the old shopkeeper took Xiaobao up the mountain who was on holiday.
Xiaobao was so happy to see the gentleman he hadn't seen for a long time that he held Li Xiuyuan's hand and asked about it, refusing to let go.
Li Xiuyuan asked him to memorize the poems taught by the teacher in the academy, and then he smiled with satisfaction.
He touched Xiaobao's head and said: "Next winter, I will ask senior to take you back to the East China Sea to see your grandfather and parents. You and senior will practice in the fishing village for two years and then come back."
Qingyu on the side heard this and nodded thoughtfully.
Xindao said that at Xiaobao's age, being able to meet her husband, go home to live with her parents, and be accompanied by seniors is truly a blessing from previous lives.
When Xiaobao heard this, he cried out: "Xiaobao has missed his grandpa and parents for a long time."
The old man looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked worriedly: "Qin Xiangyu's little girl wants to recognize you as her godfather. Who will teach her when I leave?"
There are some things that the old man cannot say in front of Qingyu and Gao Yue'er, but the three of them know these words, so it doesn't matter.
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "Before you leave, temper that little girl's body. When you come back from the East China Sea, you will teach her how to practice."
Unlike Jue'er's children, Li Xiuyuan does not want to and cannot have anything to do with the palace.
But it didn't affect his caring for Qin Xiangyu and Xiao Yue'er, and giving the little girl a chance.
Just like the old Taoist said, the common things in the mortal world will not affect the operation of heaven in this world. Even if Li Xiuyuan does it occasionally, he will not be kicked out of this world.
Qingyu asked in confusion: "Why can't you teach that child yourself?"
With her husband's promise, Xiaobao took Gao Yuer's hand and went wild in the snow in the mountains.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at the old man and said to Qingyu: "Everyone of you has seen the hope of ascension. I am still a mortal, and I also have my own practice..."
The old man looked at Qingyu and smiled: "When Xiaobao and I were not at home, you and Yue'er happened to go down the mountain to make wine and look after the shop. We would open the door half a day and practice half a day every day."
While Li Xiuyuan was making tea, he thought that for many years to come, he would not be able to go to the mountains to pick flowers and make wine, and there would no longer be Hanmei Ling tea.
After all, cold plums like Meishan are rare.
However, the spiritual tea is at the back of the house, so Qingyu and Gao Yue'er can try making it themselves.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and smiled: "If we can't celebrate the New Year, senior will teach Qingyu how to make wine on the mountain, so that you and Xiaobao won't have to leave and there will be no one at the bottom of the mountain."
"What about you? Where are you going, sir?"
Qingyu knew that Li Xiuyuan was practicing cultivation, so she wondered if you still wanted to go to the top of the snow mountain?
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly: "I will go down the mountain after the Chinese New Year to block the door, so that Qin Xiangyu and his family will not come to my place all day long when the senior is not at home."
"Should it be sealed again? Wasn't it blocked once last time?" Qingyu shook her head: "I heard from seniors that it was sealed once last time and was only opened later."
"That's right, but she didn't have a family at that time, she was alone, and Juier was also there..."
Li Xiuyuan said seriously: "Now that she has a family, it's better for everyone to observe some etiquette and not to get together all day long."
The old man thought for a while and replied: "That's right. If she wants to come to see me, she can go through the front door. It's good for everyone to have a wall."
The old man has been walking in the world for so many years, and gradually he can understand Li Xiuyuan's thoughts.
He neither wanted to be misunderstood by Qin Xiangyu's husband, nor did he want to be disturbed.
It was only at this time that the old man understood why when Li Xiuyuan sold No. 46, the first condition was to seal the door.
A wall is a world, whether it is a courtesy or a defense, it is good for everyone.
Qingyu sighed, looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled: "If I had known this, why would I need to open it if I had sealed it in the first place?"
The old man no longer dwelled on the matter, but looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Don't you care about Xiaobao's practice? Why don't you ask him how he is doing with his sword training?"
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan saw his childhood and youth in the young monks Jin Wuliang and Xiaobao.
Just like he never deliberately let Jin Wuliang practice, he also wanted Xiaobao to have a happy childhood.
Thinking of this, he looked at Qingyu and the old man and said, "I asked Xiaobao to practice hard in Penglai because I didn't know when I would leave there..."
"Since he has become my disciple, he will have a long time to come, so why rush for a while? Let him have more fun while he can enjoy his fast years, as long as he completes his studies at the academy."
"The same goes for Qin Xiangyu's children. Senior will teach her in this way from now on. It is up to them to choose whether they like to learn and whether they are willing to learn."
Having said this, Li Xiuyuan sighed quietly. He missed his husband a little.
At that time, apart from asking him to practice body training under the water, my husband never interfered with his practice again.
The old man nodded, not rejecting Li Xiuyuan's method.
After all, in the prehistoric world, he had the same requirements for his children and grandchildren. Children will have their own blessings, so why force things that you don't like on others?
Qingyu quit and couldn't help complaining: "Sir, this is irresponsible."
Li Xiuyuan laughed when he heard this: "My husband taught me this way back then. I actually didn't care much about Xiao Hei and Shuzi back then."
"But when Xiaohu follows me, I have to be stricter with him."
At this point, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh and said: "That's also because Xiaohu was very miserable when I met him. In order to prevent him from suffering in the future, I treated him like that."
When Qingyu heard Li Xiuyuan mention Xiaohei and Xiaohu, she couldn't help shouting: "Qingyu misses Xiaohei a little bit."
