The old man Zhang in front of him had gray hair and an astonishing level of cultivation. Even the veins in his hands bulged from time to time, as if telling Li Xiuyuan that he was a peerless expert.
What he didn't expect was that the young man in front of him didn't regard him as an unborn expert at all, so he was a little surprised and a little angry.
Thinking about it, he might as well go to the kitchen at the back and start messing around.
After half an hour, he brought out a portion of white porridge and put it on the table: "Boy, old man, I originally had meat to eat, but for you, I have to eat white porridge."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly: "That's also because you have become a bad person and are afraid that they will scold you."
Old man Zhang didn't bother to argue with him, so he made two bowls of porridge and put them on the table to cool.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Tell me, where did you come from as a monster?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, looked at him and said seriously: "You don't know where I came from, but the place I want to go to is the Shura Heaven. There is also a place called Taoyuan there..."
It took a while for Li Xiuyuan to convince Old Man Zhang that he had traveled through time and space and came from a past that he could not go to.
Old man Zhang sighed softly.
Looking at him, he smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that we really just live in a small outside world. If I guess correctly, the outside world is the place you mentioned."
"Oh?" Li Xiuyuan was surprised when he heard this.
Reaching out to pick up the white porridge on the table, he suddenly thought of the scene when Hua Tianyu accompanied him to the death ruins of the Demon Realm and was swallowed by a dragon in the deep river...
Could it be that this is a paradise for flowers?
But here, in addition to being a peaceful place outside the world, there is no god.
Immortal?
Even the old man in front of him has only reached the late stage of Dongtian, and has not even entered the extraordinary realm.
Although he thought about the past events, he still didn't show too much surprise.
He still needs to know more details, and he can't just rely on old man Zhang's one-sided words.
The two of them ate a pot of porridge quietly. Old man Zhang took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, then took out the stove and teapot to boil water.
While waiting for the fire to boil, he sighed and said quietly: "The village chief's eldest son was killed by a monster outside..."
Listening to what the old man said slowly, Li Xiuyuan understood something.
It turns out that not only the village chief's son died in the village, but a dozen young people died in total. It was only the village chief's son who died last, so his burial was delayed until today.
But the murderer was a monster with a scorpion body and a human head, and then a young girl...
After a battle between the monster and the girl, he escaped from the death cave in the eyes of the villagers of Peach Blossom Spring, but the girl stayed in Peach Blossom Spring due to injuries...
Therefore, when the old man learned that Li Xiuyuan was a visitor from outside the world, he was first surprised and then frightened.
On the one hand, he was afraid that the monster with a human head and a scorpion body would come back to cause trouble, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the ignorant villagers would vent their anger on Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Old Man Zhang and smiled lightly: "Now that I'm here, whenever you encounter monsters, call me and I will deal with them for you."
Old man Zhang was stunned, and while picking up a few pieces of spring tea from the pot, he frowned and asked, "Are you more powerful than that girl? More ruthless than me?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and smiled
Said: "I have a sword."
Thinking that the sword of reincarnation has been sleeping for more than a thousand years, if it is unsheathed, it will probably disturb the world and kill many heads, let alone a monster.
Could it be that the monsters from the Demon Realm came to the Peach Blossom Spring?
The old man did not take Li Xiuyuan's words as truth, but laughed and poured two cups of tea.
While saying: "That girl is more powerful than my old man, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to beat the monster and escape from the cave."
Li Xiuyuan took a sip of hot tea, thought for a while and replied: "Senior, please take me there to see who the master is who came to the Peach Blossom Spring to slay demons."
The old man smiled: "After drinking this cup of tea, I will take you there."
Li Xiuyuan was also in a hurry to leave and looked at him with a faint smile: "After this, I want to walk around in the Peach Blossom Spring. I wonder if there are any taboos here?"
Old Man Zhang shook his head: "There are mountains everywhere here. There are so many mountains that we will never be able to get out. How can there be any taboo?"
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile: "If this is the case, if I can find a few elixirs from the mountains, I will definitely share them with my seniors."
The old man smiled: "Then I hope you can bring you a miracle. Old man, if I can't break through the situation again, I'm afraid I will die of old age in the peach blossom garden."
Li Xiuyuan did not say a word, but thought about where the girl from the Shura Heaven Realm could be more powerful than the old man in the late Dongtian Stage in front of him?
"Do you want to live at the village chief's house, or stay in this Taoist temple with the old man?"
After thinking about it, the old man asked Li Xiuyuan this question. In his opinion, before he found a way out, Li Xiuyuan was afraid that he would have to leave.
Lived here.
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly: "I like peace and quiet, so I won't bother senior here."
The old man didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan turned out to be a guy who liked peace and quiet. He couldn't help but clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Old man, I live a poor life. I haven't even plowed two vegetable fields for a long time..."
"We can grow vegetables. It happens to be spring, so leave this to me."
Li Xiuyuan smiled, thinking that if he didn't think the peach blossoms were too greasy, he could brew two vats of peach blossom wine in this Taoist temple.
Looking at the situation around him, it is not much different from the Taoist temple on Luoxia Mountain. I wonder if Old Man Zhang on Luoxia Mountain has broken through to the realm of cave heaven in the past few years?
Thinking about it, the old man doesn't seem to have this ability. It seems that he has to wait until he goes back to help him.
Old man Zhang didn't hesitate and took Li Xiuyuan to the side room and asked him to clean up by himself.
Then he walked all the way to the back, pointed to two pieces of vegetables that were already deserted, and said, "Whether we will be hungry in the future depends on you."
Li Xiuyuan laughed: "Senior, it seems that he hasn't farmed for a year, what about this kind of thing?"
The old man glared at him, pointed behind him and said, "There are a lot of seeds on the shelves in your room. If I don't have to do things everywhere, how can I have free time to stay in the Taoist temple?"
Li Xiuyuan didn't say much, and went to the wing to fetch water, tidied the inside and outside of the house, and then cleaned the inside and outside of the hall.
Seeing old man Zhang clapping his hands and praising him, he said, "Okay, I'll take you to see that girl. I haven't been there for three days..."
Li Xiuyuan washed his face and followed the old man out of the Taoist temple.
Go behind the Taoist temple
On the top of a small hill, no more than a mile away, a large mountain towered in front of them, with lush trees.
From time to time, there was a chirping of birds in the forest, and there was the sound of running water in the distance, but Li Xiuyuan was stunned as he stared at the cave in front of him.
He asked the old man: "Senior, since she helped you fight off the monsters, why doesn't she live with you in the Taoist temple and return to the village?"
Old Man Zhang sighed and said with a wry smile: "I thought so too, but like you, she is also a person who likes peace and quiet. I had no choice but to find this cave for her."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, wondering if he could meet an acquaintance here?
The two entered the cave and walked less than ten feet. Old man Zhang screamed, pointed in front and shouted: "There is something weird here."
Li Xiuyuan looked up and saw a faint golden light glowing on the stone platform not far ahead...
Upon closer inspection, a golden silkworm cocoon stood quietly on the stone platform. With a soft cry, Li Xiuyuan flew forward.
Regardless of Old Man Zhang's screams behind him, Li Xiuyuan reached out and touched the silkworm cocoon in front of him. There was an aura in it that he was no longer familiar with.
With a gentle sigh, Li Xiuyuan took out a jar of spiritual wine, poured three cups and poured it on the cocoon.
After a while, a golden light shone from the cocoon and came to Li Xiuyuan's fingers, as if talking to him, as if welcoming an old friend.
Taking a breath quietly, Li Xiuyuan opened his long-unused eyes and stared blankly at the girl in the cocoon.
After a long time, he sighed softly.
The old man Zhang behind him said: "Senior, the world outside you is where I want to go.
Shura Heaven Realm, the girl here is my old friend. "
After saying that, while the old man was stunned, Li Xiuyuan walked out of the cave carrying the huge silkworm cocoon without saying a word.
While saying: "I can't leave her here alone, I have to take her back to the temple. Senior, let's get out of here."
The old man was startled and kept chattering after him.
"I said, three days ago, I visited her and brought her food from the village. How long has it been?"
"Boy, this guy is not a monster like the scorpion monster, is he?"
"Say boy, are you in the same group with them, are you also a monster?"
"No, I'm going to take out the demon mirror when I get back and see if you are a human or a demon?"
Until Li Xiuyuan carried the cocoon into the room he had just tidied up, placed it gently on the bed, and sighed while wiping his sweat.
He said to the old man: "Find another room, this one is for her."
The old man pushed open another wing and continued to ask: "Tell me, why did this little girl become like this?"
Li Xiuyuan went to get a bucket of water, and while cleaning, he replied: "She is not a monster. You are also an expert in the cave heaven realm. You should have heard of Nirvana, right?"
The old man was shocked again when he heard this. This time he simply went back to the house to get a bronze mirror and took it out, surrounding Li Xiuyuan and looking up and down again.
Then he yelled in disappointment: "That's not right. How can you, a mortal, see my cultivation?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "I also know that the village chief's cultivation level is about the same as yours. If you two can't find another chance to break through, just wait and see here."
"That being said, you can do it
Law? "
The old man was immediately interested when he heard this. He came up and smiled: "For the sake of me taking care of your friends, tell me, can you help us?"
After spending a while, Li Xiuyuan cleaned up the house where he lived, and then fetched a bucket of water to wash away the dust on his body.
Then he returned to the front of the hall and leaned on the chair, looking up to the sky and sighing.
He said leisurely to the old man: "Fortunately, I'm finally back. Don't worry, if the scorpion monster comes again, I'll slap it to death and cook it for you to eat."
Looking at the leisurely spring light outside the hall, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
Looking at Old Man Zhang, he laughed and said, "Senior, you are also a peerless expert who saw that threshold, but you were bullied by a scorpion-like monster. I am embarrassed for you."
When the old man heard this, his beard trembled with anger, and he cursed angrily: "If he comes out again next time, go and behead him!"
"There will be no next time."
Li Xiuyuan stretched his body and said lazily: "I'm tired today. You take me to the cave tomorrow and I will help you seal the cave."
Are you kidding me? Li Xiuyuan's cultivation in Fu Dao has reached a new level now.
As long as a magic circle is engraved in the cave, even if Wu Hua comes here, he will have to shed his skin, let alone the monks in this world.
The old man was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but stepped forward and touched his forehead and said, "Is it possible that you are a little Taoist priest like me?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, just looked at him and replied softly.
