That night, Li Xiuyuan made Huangfu understand what it means to practice without end.
At the same time, a huge problem was placed in front of her.
That is, even if one day Huangfu Qinglian transcends this world and ascends to another world, where will he find a saint teacher?
Neither the old monk nor his master will accept any more disciples. The old Taoist priest told Li Xiuyuan about this in Dagou Town.
Although Huangfu Qinglian may not necessarily fly to Tianyu City, it is impossible to go to Xuanwu Continent... Even if he goes to Xuanwu Continent, it is not easy to meet Yun Tianhong.
Or his teacher Meng Shentong, and his master Nalan Ruoyu.
Counting the days, Master should also become a saint on the surface of Tianyun Holy Land, right?
Although there are still a few holy places that he has not been to yet, it does not mean that Huangfu Qinglian will be able to meet a saint who is willing to be her teacher after her ascension...
Unexpectedly, Huangfu Qinglian was completely different from what he thought. She placed her hope on Li Xiuyuan.
She looked at him and smiled and said: "You can be my teacher, I can wait for you... wait until you become a saint and then be my teacher again. You won't dislike me, right?"
Li Xiuyuan really didn't expect that this guy would come to make plans for him.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I... I am so troubled that I may not be able to step through the door of your dream within a hundred years."
According to his idea, if he could completely resolve the cause and effect of Mount Sumeru within a hundred years, Master would probably think it was good.
How can he have time to be this guy's teacher?
Even if the god of fate pushed Huangfu Qinglian in front of him, he wouldn't have that free time?
younger brother and sister
A lot of them, and a bunch of friends, it gives me a headache just thinking about it.
If he was asked to repeat the experience of Wu Xin and Jasmine again, even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't have the heart to do it.
In the end, Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to look at her, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Speaker, I will leave it to fate."
Who knows, will Huangfu Qinglian meet him after ascending? Maybe, she would turn around and meet the destined saint.
The starry sky is so vast, and it’s not just the few saints from Xuanwu Continent.
Huangfu Qinglian couldn't help but sigh, looked at the starry sky above her head, and murmured to herself: "In this way, I will become a saint in the future."
…
Huangfu Qinglian, who had just broken through, had a new goal under Li Xiuyuan's unintentional words.
Although this brand new goal is too far away and elusive for her, the more it is like this, the more it arouses the girl's thoughts.
Not to mention, she also personally experienced the astonishing incident of Li Xiuyuan killing a dragon and saving people.
She was thinking that if she told Old Man Zhang about this to the Taoist temple, he would definitely think that she was lying about her dream.
Although she didn't know how long it took Li Xiuyuan to save her, she believed that if it were later, she would definitely not be able to escape from the dragon's belly.
The two meditated all night under the stone wall next to the woods by the creek.
At dawn, Li Xiuyuan cooked a pot of white porridge. After the two of them ate, they walked back.
Li Xiuyuan was worried about Dongfang Ruyu in Nirvana in the house, and Huangfu Qinglian also knew that it would be difficult for him to find a thousand-year-old elixir.
I had no choice but to follow Li Xiuyuan back to the village first, and wait for a few years to reach a higher level before I could go out for a stroll.
Maybe at that time, she can convince Old Man Zhang to accompany him
Come on an adventure with her.
Before we went far, we met the three little monkeys from yesterday.
The little monkey blinked at her, jumped over from the tree, and followed Huangfu Qinglian to ask for something to eat.
Huangfu Qinglian gently stroked the three little ones and started shouting with Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan took out the remaining three pieces of cake and handed them to her.
He smiled and said, "I don't have anything to eat anymore. If I want more, I have to go back to the village and find the village chief."
Huangfu Qinglian said "Oh!", distributed the three pieces of cake to the three little monkeys, and said with a smile: "I don't have any anymore. If you want to find something to eat, just come back with me."
The three little guys each held a piece of cake and began to eat it. However, Li Xiuyuan saw a female monkey on the cliff not far away, looking at her child from a distance...
The three little monkeys were biting the cakes in their mouths while pulling Huangfu Qinglian's skirt to go to the mountains.
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "Go and take a look. I'll walk slowly and wait for you in front."
It's just three little monkeys, what bad intentions can they have? Not to mention that the current Huangfu Qinglian is no longer the girl who screamed when she encountered a black snake yesterday.
Huangfu Qinglian took a deep breath, took steps, and followed the three little guys deeper into the mountain.
Walking alone in the mountains, Li Xiuyuan stopped looking for elixirs in the mountains and forests he passed by. He listened to the chirping of the birds in the forest and thought that he was just a passerby in this world after all.
Right now, he just wants to leave here as soon as possible and go to the Demon Realm.
There was a hasty farewell that year, so he hadn't been to many places yet. This time it was just right, he could go to the Demon Realm for a walk before the journey to heaven was over, and there was still time.
After walking for half an hour, he stopped
He came and found an open space facing the sun, sat on it and waited for Huangfu Qinglian behind him.
See what kind of surprise the three little monkeys can bring to her?
Is it possible that the three little guys can still find a thousand-year-old elixir and give it to Huangfu Qinglian?
Or should a mother safely take her three children with a strange woman to a distant village to play all spring?
Wait until the fruit harvest season in late summer or autumn before taking your children back to the mountains?
Spring is the saddest time for monkeys in the mountains and forests, and there is nothing we can do about it.
After more than half an hour, Huangfu Qinglian came all the way with three little monkeys. It seemed that the mother in the forest had reached some kind of deal with Huangfu Qinglian.
I can rest assured that my three children will go to the village to spend the most difficult time at present.
Although Huangfu Qinglian was in danger several times and was smart enough, she still couldn't resist the three cute little monkeys.
Not to mention, she also gained something unexpected.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The three little monkeys were not afraid of Li Xiuyuan and jumped over to ask him for food.
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly, spread his hands and said with a smile: "If you want to eat, you have to go back to the Taoist temple with me. The villagers will not let you starve."
In his opinion, with the meat of the black snake and half of the black dragon, it would not be a problem for Old Man Zhang to find 500 catties of corn and 200 catties of pancakes.
When I go back this time, I wonder how many monks in the village can break through in one night.
For a group of villagers, this is probably a once-in-a-century event. Who cares about raising a few more little monkeys?
Huangfu Qinglian followed Li Xiuyuan with a smile on her face, saying "
Invite the little monkey to play with him for a while.
It seems that after breaking through, she will no longer worry about the elixir for the time being.
When they returned to the village, they took a different route and walked along the stream in the mountains. They never encountered monsters or mist-filled mountains again.
At noon time, the two returned to the small Taoist temple with the three little monkeys.
Huangfu Qinglian took three little monkeys to the village to find something to eat. Li Xiuyuan sent a message early and called old man Zhang back who was drinking tea at the village chief's house.
First, he returned to Dongfang Ruyu's room and chatted with the cocoon on the bed for a while, telling her about some of the strange things that had happened.
Although Dongfang Ruyu couldn't reply, Li Xiuyuan believed that she could hear her.
Before he could go to the main hall to boil water and make tea, Old Man Zhang shouted so loudly that Li Xiuyuan was so shocked that he had to go out to greet him.
She looked at him and smiled: "Not bad. Thank you for taking care of the two vegetable plots behind the house these days..."
Old Man Zhang laughed loudly and said: "Tell me, old man, is it you who will overcome the tribulation, or will that girl break through?"
"It must be her."
Li Xiuyuan closed the door of Dongfang Ruyu's room and walked into the main hall, while replying: "How can I, a mortal, overcome difficulties and tribulations, but you have an extra helper."
The two returned to the main hall and lit a small stove.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said, "Please tell the village chief and give Huangfu Qingyu some food. She brought back three little monkeys..."
Old Man Zhang was stunned for a moment, then laughed. While communicating with the village chief, he asked: "After this girl broke through, why did she want to find three little monkeys to come back and play with her?"
After sighing, Li Xiuyuan replied: "I guess it's spring."
There is nothing to eat in the Tianshan Mountains, and a mother cannot bear to see her children starve. "
Old man Zhang was shocked when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and said: "That's true."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled: "Don't be stingy. We have brought good things back to the villagers this time. You and the village chief will also take care of them and prepare for tomorrow..."
This time, Old Man Zhang was finally startled and asked in a low voice: "So fast? Is it dangerous?"
While cleaning the teapot, Li Xiuyuan looked at him with a wry smile and said, "I don't know when to leave. It's better to pay off the debt I owe you earlier, so that you won't always think about me."
Only then did Old Man Zhang couldn't help but laugh, and replied: "If you help Old Man Wang and I step over that threshold, we can be considered reborn parents, otherwise we will have to wait here to die."
Li Xiuyuan sighed, looked at him and said seriously: "After breaking through, in the next few years, you can accompany Huangfu Qinglian to the mountains and forests from time to time. It's not that scary."
Old Man Zhang nodded: "That's natural. Since we are allowed to cross that threshold, we also need to practice spiritual medicine to break through to a higher realm."
Before the two of them finished the second course of tea, the squeaking and shouting of the little monkey rang out in the yard.
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly, looked at Old Man Zhang and said, "Please ask the village chief to visit the Taoist temple. If there are any good things, let him take them to the village and give them to the monks who need to break through."
"What good baby? Let me see."
While greeting Huangfu Qinglian, Old Man Zhang sent a message to the village chief asking him to come to the Taoist temple. As soon as Old Man Wang heard that there was a treasure, he hurried to the mountains without saying a word.
Li Xiuyuan poured a cup of tea for Huangfu Qinglian
, while saying: "Take the black snake back to the village chief later...the black dragon will be distributed to them tomorrow."
Old man Zhang was startled when he heard this. This was both a black snake and a black dragon. If the two of them entered the mountain, might they turn the forest upside down?
"It's not as scary as you think, but the black snake is pretty good. It won't take long for it to turn into a dragon. I guess there will be many people breaking through tonight, right?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled: "I think you and the village chief will be busy tonight, and I'm afraid you won't have time to think about whether you can break through."
Huangfu Qinglian looked at Old Man Zhang and sighed, and said seriously: "This is the treasure that Li Xiuyuan brought back to you from the cave..."
After speaking, he touched the head of the little monkey next to him and said with a smile: "Go and play by yourself. No more food is allowed today."
The three little monkeys squeaked and ran out of the hall.
Old man Zhang remembered what Li Xiuyuan said and laughed loudly: "Don't worry, it's just three monkeys. The old man is responsible for raising them."
Huangfu Qinglian looked at him and sighed, and said quietly: "You are not at a disadvantage. Li Xiuyuan has prepared a treasure for you to break through the realm and overcome the tribulation."
Old man Zhang watched the little monkey emerge from the hall and head towards the back mountain. He couldn't help but ask: "What treasure?"
Huangfu Qingyu thought for a while, looked at him and said seriously: "A treasure that can help you and the village chief survive the disaster."
