On the long stone steps, Watson integrated himself into Wentian Peak. He was either carving scriptures or sharpening the knife in his hand.
After hearing the news, Liao Chen and the old monk sat on the edge of the woods, brewed a pot of spiritual tea and drank three glasses of spiritual wine.
As Watson's fingers drew one stroke after another, the two old monks sat on the stone bench and fell into a state of silence.
Facing the long three thousand stone steps, Liao Chen was speechless.
At the end of his practice, he, as a master, had to rely on his precious disciple to help him hear the truth and break through the realm. This was a unique miracle in Xuantian.
The old monk looked at Watson, who had already melted into the spring mist, and listened to the subtle sound of carving on the stone steps.
He sighed: "Junior brother, your kindness to Watson back then was the motivation for him to repay you. To Watson, you are a bright light."
Liao Chen shook his head.
He said quietly: "He gave back more than just the spring." Raising his head, the old monk glanced at Wentian Peak.
The old monk thought for a while and said: "Counting the days, I'm afraid that within ten days, monks from Kunlun, Academy, Imperial City and other sects will come to Yunqi Temple."
As long as people in the world can no longer find Watson's shadow, they will all gather at Yunqi Temple to find trouble for Watson.
And Watson had only been on the stone steps for five days. From the old monk's point of view, it would take another two to three days at the earliest to get there. Can the Buddhist scriptures be engraved and completed?
"Come on, come on. Is it possible that Yunqi Temple can still be afraid of the wind and rain in this world?"
Liao Chen pointed and asked: "Senior brother, as long as Watson does not leave Wentian Peak, who can go up these three thousand stone steps? Not to mention, there is an extra volume of Buddhist scriptures on the stone steps."
After saying that, the two of them looked up and saw Wentian Peak filled with clouds and mist, and Watson's shadow had long since disappeared.
Even if a peerless strong man comes to trouble Watson at this time, who can rush to Wentian Peak?
So, another two days passed.
Watson has been practicing on Wentian Peak for seven days, and there are less than thirty of the three thousand stone steps left. He sees that he is about to complete the carving of this Buddhist scripture.
Just when he was looking at the golden dome of the main hall of Yunqi Temple, he took out the water bottle and took a sip, and wanted to yell,
Master Liao Chen's voice came to my ears: "Watson, my mother-in-law and Xiaoxue are here. They are waiting for you in your small courtyard. Do you want to come down and meet me?"
Watson was stunned when he heard this, looked at the remaining thirty stone steps in front, and smiled bitterly.
He replied quietly: "Disciple still needs a little time. Please tell my mother-in-law to let them rest in the small courtyard for a while. I estimate that two hours will be enough."
After speaking, Watson looked up at the sky, fearing that the sun would have set by the time he went down the mountain.
After completing the task on the three thousand stone steps, he would rest for two days before going to the abyss. Thinking of the horrific scenes back then, he couldn't help but sigh.
There was not much difference for him between then and now.
Although his physical strength is stronger than before, the demons under the abyss are also more powerful than before, so I'm afraid they are not that easy to deal with.
Thinking about it in the blink of an eye, since I couldn't avoid this, I had to face it head on.
At least, he still has an unsheathed epee, and he can still fight under the abyss with this demon-conquering epee in his hand.
In the small courtyard, eleven-year-old Xiaoxue looked at the tall mountain peaks not far away.
He murmured to himself: "Mother-in-law, didn't you ask the old monk to send a message to Brother Watson? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
The mother-in-law sighed, boiled water and made tea, and said: "Master Liaochen said that Watson has to practice on the three thousand stone steps for a while, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back until the sun goes down, so he asked you to go and take a nap first. ."
When Xiaoxue heard that Watson was practicing on Wentian Peak, she was not in a hurry. As long as people were on the mountain, it would be fine. At worst, she could sleep and see people when she woke up.
Then he sighed and shouted, "Sister said, Brother Watson has changed again."
Become a mortal. "
The mother-in-law released her consciousness and looked at Watson sitting on the stone steps carving Buddhist scriptures, and couldn't help but sigh too.
How strong of a state of mind do you have to have to be able to carve scriptures on three thousand stone steps so peacefully when you have lost your cultivation?
After thinking for a while, he looked at Xiaoxue and said, "I don't know about this either. You can ask him yourself in the evening."
"I'm thirsty. Let's drink two cups of tea and then go take a nap."
Xiaoxue said quietly: "Unexpectedly, brother Zhu Jiu actually followed him to Phoenix Mountain. Did he fall in love with sister Hua Yu?"
Her mother-in-law touched her hair and replied with a smile: "You have to ask Brother Watson about this."
…
At the same time, dragging his exhausted steps, Watson returned to the courtyard.
At this time, the mother-in-law had just put the food brought from the mountain and was about to ask Xiaoxue to get up. She planned to call Xiaoxue and then Watson.
Unexpectedly, when he looked up, Watson was already standing under the pear tree in the yard.
He couldn't help but smile lightly: "You're just in time, go wash up first and then you can eat."
Watson chuckled: "How come you have time to come to Yunqi Temple, mother-in-law? There is nothing to eat on this mountain to entertain you."
The mother-in-law smiled lightly: "We have already bought a lot of food in the town at the foot of the mountain, but we don't need you to worry about it."
Watson was now sleepy and tired, so he had to fetch water and wash himself in a hurry. He changed into a clean monk's clothes and sat down in the living room.
Before her mother-in-law could call anyone, Xiaoxue rushed into the living room with a "whoosh!" and exclaimed: "Brother Watson, Xiaoxue is here to see you."
Watson sighed and said quietly: "I am now the devil in your father's mouth. Aren't you afraid that the devil will bite you and turn you into a devil?"
Xiaoxue chuckled: "Xiaoxue is not afraid. My mother-in-law said that Brother Watson is not a devil."
While serving food to the three of them, Watson looked at his mother-in-law and said with a bitter smile: "Before my mother-in-law came, there were more than a dozen monks who attacked on the mountain road and wanted my head."
After thinking about it, he took a space ring and stuffed it into Xiaoxue's hand.
He smiled and said, "I don't know how many gold coins there are in this. It's just a meeting gift for sister Xue'er."
Xiaoxue waved her hand, put away the space ring on the table, looked at her mother-in-law and laughed: "My mother-in-law and brother Watson are the best to Xue'er."
The mother-in-law sighed while putting vegetables into her bowl: "Are they delivering rice and oil to Yunqi Temple?"
"Yes, I am a poor man and have no money to honor my master. A group of monks happened to come to give me money."
Watson said calmly: "Mother-in-law and Xiaoxue have arrived. It is estimated that the wind and rain in the world will also blow to Yunqi Temple."
…
The moon was sparse, so Watson made a pot of tea and briefly told his mother-in-law some things.
Xiaoxue lay aside and listened with open ears. Wei Xue, who was originally very angry, forgot to be angry for a moment after hearing that Watson survived the desert storm.
Looking at Watson, he asked: "Brother Zhu Jiu is so useless, he actually hid with two women."
Watson smiled faintly: "He hadn't broken through yet, and he couldn't defeat the Kunlun disciples who were chasing him. The Imperial Army didn't dare to mess with him..."
Regarding Zhu Jiu, he is the person Watson wants to protect, just like his sister and Tantai Xiaoyu.
But Watson is still standing, so he won't let the three people take action for him.
The mother-in-law sighed after hearing this and asked thoughtfully: "Are you going to entrust your sister to that boy Zhu Jiu?"
"He is now a monk with the second level of distraction and can be a man who stands upright."
Watson replied quietly: "I asked him to return to Phoenix Mountain to practice with his sister and Tantai Xiaoyu. He is not allowed to leave Phoenix Mountain until he reaches the middle stage of distraction."
The mother-in-law was holding a cup of hot tea and blew gently. When she heard Watson's words, she couldn't help but
Zhu sighed.
He smiled bitterly and said: "At first, I expected Qingqing to marry him, but I didn't expect Qingqing to choose Zhu Jiu's brother in the end. What an idiot."
Watson smiled lightly when he heard this: "Xue'er's sister will be the queen in the future. Zhu Jiu doesn't want to be the emperor. The two of them have different paths, so naturally they can't go together."
Xiaoxue suddenly interrupted: "Mother-in-law, what are the benefits of being an emperor? Can you live forever?"
The mother-in-law smiled faintly: "You can tell by looking at Zhu Jiu's father, right?"
When Watson heard this, he couldn't help laughing. He looked at Xiaoxue and said, "Every monk in the world has a dream, but it would be great if only one ten thousandth of it can be realized."
Xiaoxue just said oh, then looked at Watson and asked: "Brother Watson, is Xiaoxue one of those one ten thousandths?"
Somehow, looking at Xiaoxue in front of him, Huisheng suddenly thought of Tantai Xiaoyu, and his heart suddenly hurt, and he was speechless.
It wasn't until his mother-in-law also showed a confused look that Watson sighed.
He held Xiaoxue's hand and smiled: "You are of course a one-of-a-kind legend. I just thought that your sister Xiaoyu lost her memory after coming back with me."
In desperation, Watson brought Tantai Xiaoyu back to the back mountains of Kunlun and told him about his memory loss.
"This???????????????There is a dangerous relationship in the black hole, and there is also a relationship where Xiaoyu returns to Kunlun and reminds her of the horrific incident back then. In short, she just forgot about me, but She has not forgotten any of Zhu Jiu, Hua Yu, and Jiang Qingqing."
The mother-in-law finished her cup of tea and looked at Watson and smiled bitterly;
He said faintly: "In this case, I am afraid that there is no magic medicine in the world that can cure it. I can only rely on God's will."
…
During the long night, Watson did not dwell on Tantai Xiaoyu's affairs because he was too tired.
Taking advantage of the good spring weather, Watson, who got up early, took Xiaoxue and her mother-in-law to climb Wentian Peak.
Along the way, I asked Tianfeng if he didn't embarrass Watson's friends.
However, Xiaoxue looked at the scriptures on the stone steps and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that these three thousand stone steps are all engraved with scriptures. Doesn't every stone step have the sweat of Brother Watson?"
Watson smiled faintly: "I carved Yunqi Temple's demon-conquering sword technique on these three thousand stone steps. If one day you want to practice, you can come here and have a look."
The mother-in-law nodded after hearing this, then thought about it and asked: "Master Liaochen said that Wentian Peak is restricted. I'm afraid that if it were another day, Xiaoxue wouldn't be able to come up."
Watson shook his head, took Xiaoxue into the pavilion, and kowtowed three times to the statue in front of him.
Then he said to Xiaoxue: "Sister Xue'er is here to kowtow three times to the founder of Yunqi Temple. If you were to climb the mountain alone next year, Wentian Peak will not embarrass you."
"OK!"
Xiaoxue followed Watson's example and obediently kowtowed three times to the statue in front of her. The statue gave off a faint golden light and submerged into Xiaoxue's body.
The mother-in-law looked at the statue in front of her, thinking about the legend of Yunqi Temple and the past of Kunlun, and couldn't help but sigh quietly.
He took Watson's hand and asked: "Watson, when do you plan to go to the abyss?"
Watson looked at the mountains in the distance and the churning sea of clouds, and felt the urge to spread his wings and fly to the sky.
He stretched out his hand to stop Xiaoxue's hand and said quietly: "Today you have fun in the mountains. Tomorrow I will help you break through. The day after tomorrow will be my journey."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxue narrowed her eyes and laughed: "That would make Xiaoxue happier than my brother giving me gold coins."
The mother-in-law shook her head and looked at her Sun Shui with a loving smile.
Looking at the sea of clouds in front of me, I couldn't help but curse: "The ancients said that when you climb high and look far away, don't you know that some people are like idiots even though they are in high mountains?"
Watson was speechless upon hearing this.
Xiaoxue giggled upon hearing this: "Mother-in-law, you are scolding daddy behind his back again."
