After taking a sip of tea, Li Xiuyuan said: "This is my second hometown. I have too many memories. I don't know when I will be able to return here after this farewell. I want to do something for the villagers down the mountain."
No matter whether it was Dachu, Academy, or even Taoyuan, they could not leave a trace in his heart, because they were all kingdoms and aristocratic families, and he did not need to worry about it.
With or without him, nothing could actually be changed about these places. Only this place, up and down the mountain, was a place he couldn't abandon.
Ksitigarbha didn't say anything because his thoughts were completely different from Li Xiuyuan's.
Li Xiuyuan was thinking about the villagers at the foot of the mountain and the Taoist temple on the mountain.
Jizo, a young boy who wants to return to this world, has transformed into Jizo several times, not only subduing demons, but also saving people with his own body.
Thinking of this, Jizo pointed to the wing not far away and smiled.
Said: "I didn't expect that on the snowy mountain, you used the evil spirit of the girl to cause the five declines of heaven and humans. When you come back here, aren't you afraid of burning the fire of Nirvana again?"
"It's nirvana, so what?"
Li Xiuyuan retracted his gaze towards the night sky, looked at Ksitigarbha and asked, "Back then, he and I became sworn brothers in the academy teacher's bamboo hut. I couldn't bear to watch him being swallowed up by the demonic energy."
Ksitigarbha smiled faintly, looked at him and said, "If you dare to burn the fire of Nirvana at this time, and if you miss the road to heaven, do you want to practice in the lower world for another thousand years?"
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he was stunned.
He really hadn't thought about this. If he really saved Hua Tianyu and asked him to spend another thousand years cultivating and waiting in the lower world, would he go crazy?
Dazedly, Li Xiuyuan sighed while holding half a cup of spiritual tea.
"Even I didn't think of this."
Ksitigarbha shook his head and said softly: "The miracle you created overnight was because you did not hesitate to go into the abyss and miss the way to heaven to save people..."
Even Ksitigarbha didn't understand the specific reason. The old Taoist priest who understood it didn't tell his precious disciple, and Ksitigarbha didn't want to worry about it until Li Xiuyuan.
So he smiled and said, "Let him stay in this world for this miracle. Tell me, what else do you want from me?"
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan took two jars of freshly brewed apricots.
Putting it in front of Ksitigarbha, I was thinking about the eldest sister, Xiao Ling'er and others above the Wangchuan River, as well as the Master...
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly: "These two jars of spiritual apricots were brewed with honey just now. One jar is for the Bodhisattva, and the other jar is for trouble to bring to my eldest sister on the Wangchuan Bridge. Thank you."
After saying that, he took two more jars of apricot flower wine and put them on the table, and said: "This wine was brewed when I left Luoxia Mountain. I don't know how long it was stored in the cellar... It's still the same. Bodhisattva has a jar. Sister, a jar."
Ji Zang sighed, put away the apricots and spirit wine on the table, pointed at the crescent moon in the sky and laughed.
Said: "Actually, I really want to see if you will make another wave on the Nine Heavens in the years to come after you take the road to heaven."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this. Thinking about all the troubles he was having, he couldn't help complaining: "Bodhisattva, you are really just watching the fun, you don't think it's a big deal!"
Jizo smiled faintly: "If I don't tell you, you won't go?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and murmured: "Bodhisattva, you are unreasonable... When you see my eldest sister, please say hello to them for me."
Ksitigarbha waved his hand and turned into a breeze, disappearing in front of Li Xiuyuan's eyes.
But at this moment, Li Xiuyuan was confused. It turned out that everything on Luoxia Mountain was caused by him, and it was what happened that night when he rescued Hua Yuyu.
Although Ksitigarbha did not explain clearly what the purpose was in the end, he believed that he would be able to figure it out just by asking his master.
Even if the master doesn't say it, it doesn't matter. In short, this matter is over.
His decision was not wrong. After picking these apricots, he would cut down the already tall apricot trees, leaving only short branches to grow slowly in the future.
People from the Shura Heaven Realm cannot be allowed to worry about going here.
The fog is thin in the early morning, and the faint sunlight falls from the dense leaves, making the Taoist temple look like a fairyland outside the world.
Li Xiuyuan, who got up early, sat under the eaves, holding an iron arrow and carefully carving runes.
Hua Tianyu in the house has not yet woken up. The crow followed Chu Feiyan to Tianfeng City and did not come back. The mountains were quiet, only the early birds were singing.
From the mountains in the distance, the sound of Taoyuan's female disciples playing in the spring could be heard. This earth-shattering disaster seemed to have been gradually erased from their hearts.
Perhaps, Dongfang Ruyu took them away from Taoyuan early and did not make them feel the cruelty of the war.
Old man Zhang was busy at the foot of the mountain distributing spiritual apricots to the villagers, but did not go up the mountain.
I don't know how much time passed, but the sound of footsteps entered the Taoist temple's main hall, and a flash of cyan light came to Li Xiuyuan.
Without stopping the inscription in his hand, Li Xiuyuan asked: "Sister Xiaoyun, is something wrong?"
Li Yun's expression froze slightly, looking a little nervous, but also very excited. She looked at him and asked, "Can we pick and eat the apricots in the mountains?"
Li Xiuyuan raised his head, looked at her and smiled faintly: "These apricots are only for this season. They will be gone next year. If you want to eat, go pick them as soon as possible..."
When Li Yun heard this, she couldn't help but laugh: "That's great, but it's a pity that Yu'er is not here."
Li Xiuyuan continued: "You can eat apricots. After eating, remember to prune all the apricot trees on the mountain with Old Man Zhang..."
"Why?"
Li Yun was startled when she heard this, and said in a hoarse voice: "The apricot trees in this mountain are full of apricots. Wouldn't it be a pity to cut them down and prune them?"
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan said seriously: "After I leave, Luoxia Mountain no longer needs to preserve the apricots of this mountain, and Old Man Zhang and the villagers at the foot of the mountain cannot keep them..."
A look of regret flashed in Li Yun's eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh quietly.
Said: "That's right. If you are on the mountain and the monks in the Shura Heaven Realm learn about this, I am afraid that another bloody storm will start."
Waving his hand, Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "Call the disciples from Taoyuan to come down and pick apricots. Just eat enough for you, and leave some for Chu Feng, Jun Buyu and the others, as well as the villagers down the mountain."
Li Yun looked at him and smiled, turned around and shouted a few words to the elders and disciples in the back mountain. After a while, there was a scream and a burst of laughter from the mountain.
At the bottom of the mountain, Chu Feng followed Chu Feiyan and others back from Kaifeng City, but he was stunned when he looked at the brand new sword monument in front of him.
I saw that the sword monument that had been burned by the divine fire had a faint divine glow under the sunlight, as if it were inviolable like a god.
Chu Feng looked at the three big characters on it and murmured: "Luoxia Village, I haven't seen you in the past few days. Did he change the name of the village again?"
Without saying a word, Hua Chenyu ran towards the stone house and shouted, "Brother, are you awake?"
Old man Zhang, who was sitting in the living room, looked at her and shook his head: "The young master took him to the mountains to rest. Come in and have a cup of tea."
"Sister-in-law, my brother and Li Xiuyuan went up the mountain!" Hua Chenyu stood in front of the living room door and shouted.
Chu Feng said nothing, glanced at Chu Feiyan, and then walked towards the mountains.
Unexpectedly, he went straight all the way and found that he was blocked when he came to the mountain road. He couldn't say anything and passed the hurdle in front of him. He was so angry that he started yelling loudly.
Chu Feiyan sighed and said, "I can feel that Li Xiuyuan doesn't want to pay attention to us right now. I guess we will all have to live under the mountain in the future."
Chu Ruoyu came over, took her hand and said, "Sister, does the Grand Marshal think we are too noisy, so he set up a new magic circle here?"
Old Man Zhang walked out of the living room, met everyone and said, "Master said that the mountain will not be open to the public until the apricots are picked. If you want to go up the mountain, you must tell him..."
Chu Feng then raised his head and looked at the scene in the mountains, looked at Chu Feiyan behind him and asked, "I have only been walking for a few days.
Why does it seem like a different place here? "
Chu Feiyan raised her head, thought for a moment and then said: "How could I know? Even Li Xiuyuan doesn't know. He was saving your brother-in-law at the foot of the mountain that night."
"Come up, everyone." Li Xiuyuan's voice came from the mountain.
He said in a calm tone: "If you want to eat apricots, you can pick them yourself. You are not allowed to take them away. If you don't believe it, then get out of here as far as you can..."
"The big devil is back." In the distance, a bolt of lightning flew towards the mountains.
Chu Feng shouted: "I said, do you want to scare me to death, or do you want to scare that guy Jun Buyu to death? Fortunately, he didn't come back today."
Chu Feng didn't say much and followed the crow up the mountain like a whirlwind while shouting: "Little crow, wait for your uncle!"
Chu Feiyan frowned slightly and said after a moment of silence, "Let's go up the mountain and see if your brother has woken up."
For a moment, Chu Ruoyu, Hua Chenyu, and Hua Xiaoyu all went to the mountains.
Chu Feiyan waved to Old Man Zhang and said with a smile: "Let's go to the mountain to have a look. He will probably drive him down the mountain at night."
Old Man Zhang smiled and said, "You guys go up the mountain first. Young Master is very tired these days."
Chu Feiyan looked back at the tall sword monument and nodded thoughtfully, wondering, is this guy going to turn this place into an iron barrel?
Old Man Zhang looked at her and smiled: "Don't get me wrong, girl. This place was originally called Luoxia Village. The young master just restored the previous name. It's nothing new."
Only Old Man Zhang knew clearly that after this time, the young master would no longer have to come back to hunt down any intruders.
It is estimated that before he takes action, he will be killed by these magic circles in front of the village.
As for the three words "Luoxia Village", people of the older generation know that in a few days, the elderly and children in the village will get used to it.
Chu Feiyan sighed, knowing in her heart that Li Xiuyuan had arranged the funeral arrangements here in advance, so as not to leave and never come back.
Think about her and Hua Tianyu? The two of them still have to worry about their extended families on both sides, so what should they do before leaving?
He waved to Old Man Zhang, sighed, and headed toward the mountains.
Putting away the iron arrows on the table, Li Xiuyuan boiled a pot of spring water, looked at the crow flying up and asked, "So, you went to drink my brother's wedding wine?"
Crow nodded: "That's necessary."
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "By the way, I've been busy here for so many days. Did you bring me some delicious food? Take it out and show it to me."
After speaking, he grabbed the crow's wings and searched all over its body.
The anxious crow quacked: "Are you a bandit? I'm the crow, not you humans. Where can I hide things? Let go, I'm going to die!"
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said, "I don't believe it."
Crow struggled for a long time, scratched his head and said helplessly: "You want me to bring you food, just give me a space ring first, and then give me some spiritual stones and gold coins."
After staying in Tianfeng City for these days, Crow Crow felt for the first time that he was a poor man and had to rely on Chu Feng and his gang for everything.
No matter what happens, he still has to act coquettishly with Chu Feiyan in order to get a few gold coins.
Li Xiuyuan looked at its uncomfortable look and finally couldn't help laughing. He took out a ring, tied it with a red string, and hung it around its neck.
He flapped its wings and said, "Because you are not human!"
