When Ximen Guxing, who had finished cleaning the battlefield, pulled Huangfu Qingmei into the wine shop, Li Xiuyuan was slowly pouring warm apricot blossom wine into the cup.
With a smile, Chu Feng threw a bunch of space rings on the counter.
He reached out to help Huangfu Qingmei pat a few snowflakes off his shoulders and head, picked up a glass of wine from the counter and took a sip.
He immediately exclaimed: "This wine is good, why didn't I think of warming it before drinking it?"
When Huangfu Qingmei heard this, she couldn't help but pick up a cup and take a sip. After just one sip, she smiled.
Ximen Lone Star sighed and said, "These guys are so unlucky that they didn't ask before coming here. Is it okay to do anything casually on this street?"
Huangfu Qingmei pointed to the space ring on the counter and said, "Give these to Xiaodie."
Li Xiuyuan was silent for a moment and then said: "These are useful in Ding'an City, but I don't know if they are on the way to the sky... After reaching the sky, they are basically useless."
"Then you should buy her more food, clothing, and things to play with."
Huangfu Qingmei sighed and said, "After seeing Xiaodie's sudden attack these days, I finally understand your painstaking efforts and why you want to keep her with you."
After the killing, the world became silent, and the snow gradually fell on the long street, adding to the desolate scenery.
The drunken crow slept like a pig at night, unaware that a fight had just occurred outside.
But Huangfu Qingmei was feeling sad about the upcoming separation. When Ximen Lone Star saw her, he could only comfort her: "Xiaodie will be more successful than us if she follows her godfather."
Li Xiuyuan took a sip of wine, looked at the two of them and said calmly: "Actually, I want to tell you that perhaps, this world will usher in new life."
Huangfu Qingmei looked at the half glass of wine in her hand and murmured, "It's just us, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the couple and was speechless for a moment. He decided not to persuade anyone to stay.
Whether to live or die, to go or to stay is everyone's right. He cannot decide the future destiny for the person in front of him.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan said: "In this case, you can discuss it with my eldest sister tomorrow. I estimate that the road to heaven will be opened in less than ten days and a half."
It was only at this time that Li Xiuyuan said to the two of them: "I said, since you have decided to go, you will finally step into that door together. No matter how much time it takes on the road, don't separate."
Huangfu Qingmei nodded and drank the warm wine in the glass in one gulp.
She looked at him and smiled, then asked: "What about you? When do you plan to set off with Xiaodie and Crow? You won't use my Xiaodie as an excuse not to go with us, right?"
Li Xiuyuan chuckled: "You are indeed an idiot. First of all, I want to wait until the beginning of spring before leaving. After all, the door will be open for three months."
"Second, based on my experience on the Shura battlefield, even if I set out with you, I may not be able to embark on the same road. Do you understand?"
In his opinion, maybe the God of Destiny would kick him back to the Xuanwu Continent this time and let him complete the journey that he had not completed before.
Is it possible for me to help Monk Buli and step into the realm of mortal transformation with the little princess of Phoenix City?
But, counting the days, my master should have already entered the realm of a saint, right?
Thinking about the grievances and resentments in Xuanwu Continent, Li Xiuyuan looked at the two people in front of him and smiled bitterly: "Your path is very simple. How can you be as miserable as me?"
Huangfu Qingmei was stunned and couldn't help but said: "If it is really so troublesome, wouldn't my Xiaodie become a burden to you?"
"What do you think? I don't even bring my eldest sister..."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and said seriously: "Just forget about me when you embark on the road to heaven. Really, I was thinking about you. I said this back then."
Ximen Lone Star shook his head and asked, "Is it possible that you have bigger troubles?"
Huangfu Qingmei frowned slightly, but did not continue.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her still beautiful face, as if he had seen the girl from Fucheng many years ago, picking up a sword and going to Chengmen Mansion to kill people.
I couldn't help but smile: "By the way, when I met you, you were not like this."
Huangfu Qingdi remained silent.
Li Xiuyuan said: "I can tell you that the road ahead of me is very troublesome. It is so troublesome that you can't even imagine it. No matter what, it will not affect me from taking Xiaodie until all the demon blood is gone."
After hearing these words, Huangfu Qingmei's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
She could foresee that the current Li Xiuyuan was much colder than the boy back then, and even became inhumane.
However, because his daughter was possessed by a demon, he let go of the indifference in his heart and took his daughter with him at all costs.
She knew very well that it would be much more troublesome to take a monk in the cave heaven realm with her and others.
That is purely because from the moment he stepped into that door, Li Xiuyuan had to pay attention to Ximen Mengdie's safety at all times, just like himself now.
As I thought about it, I couldn't help but sigh quietly.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan would have to be both a mother and a father on the way to heaven.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and added warm wine to their glasses. He then turned around and poured some peanuts into the plates at the counter and placed them in front of the two of them.
She said quietly: "Actually, it's not bad to think about it. I missed the years when Xiaodie was growing up. Now I just think of fulfilling my responsibilities as a godfather and master."
Ximen Lone Star patted his thigh heavily and laughed.
He said softly: "I won't obey anyone in the world, so I will obey you... If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid even my father and the commander would not be able to escape the vicious hands of the devil."
Speaking of this, Huangfu Qingmei couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "Xiaoxing is talking about business. I haven't thanked you for saving my father's life."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and replied calmly: "Actually, they don't need to take action."
Huangfu Qingmei's expression changed again and again, and finally she said a little lonely: "It seems that you have already had a countermeasure. Are they too reckless?"
Li Xiuyuan didn't expect her to be so sensitive, so he could only say: "After all, the king of the wilderness is not the old devil outside Wangtian City. Their action will only make this battle end faster."
When Ximen Lone Star heard this, he laughed at himself and said, "That means we didn't help you."
"You can't say that."
Thinking about the upcoming separation, Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "From tonight on, you must get used to living without me, no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future."
Sighing, Li Xiuyuan continued: "This is my fault. In the past, I always thought of taking action myself to solve the troubles everyone encountered, but I didn't expect that this would harm you."
Huangfu Qingmei was shocked when she heard this and blurted out: "Could it be that there are two roads to heaven?"
Ximen Lone Star couldn't help but shouted: "Is it possible that you want to part ways with us? Fly into the sky with Xiaodie?"
"You two are such idiots!"
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Tomorrow, I will tell my eldest sister Li Qiushui this truth and let her understand that on the road to heaven, you may not be able to wait for me when you are in danger of death."
It was quiet inside and outside the store, and the three of them listened quietly to the sound of snow falling.
The cold wind from the long street came all the way, making a low whine, disturbing people. The charcoal fire in the stove was burning gently, telling the three people in front of them that it was late at night.
After hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, the couple was silent for a long time.
After a while, Huangfu Qingmei said quietly: "After listening to your explanation, it seems that I have been relying on you ever since we met."
Ximen Lone Star thought about it carefully. If he hadn't met Li Xiuyuan that year, he wouldn't have been able to wait all the way to break through the realm, and he wouldn't have been able to go to the Shura battlefield with the princess.
So the current road to heaven is just an empty talk for them, and they can only watch others go to heaven like their father.
Not to mention, Li Xiuyuan saved the couple twice on the Shura battlefield.
Thinking of this, he could only smile bitterly and said: "
Do you care about killing or burying me? "
Li Xiuyuan replied: "Who will bury me?"
The three of them were silent for a long time before Li Xiuyuan spoke seriously.
"For Xiaodie, I made an exception and begged my master once...and my master has always told me that it is better to ask for help from others than to ask for yourself. I hope you will learn this truth on your way to heaven."
The couple drank three glasses of wine and sat until midnight before heading out into the wind and snow hand in hand.
Li Xiuyuan closed the shop door, returned to the living room in the backyard and sat down. He stared blankly at the oil lamp on the table and asked, "Master, am I too cruel?"
The light and shadow in the living room changed, and the old Taoist priest sat quietly in front of him.
Looking at him, he said: "You have asked me to be my teacher more than once. Didn't you say that my teacher has always been unreliable? What stimulation did you receive tonight?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "Disciples can ignore them or stop thinking about them. However, I want them to be able to watch each other after they step on the road to heaven, instead of being separated from each other..."
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "In other words, such a request is actually nothing."
"Why don't you help me, master? How about giving them a little more chance of walking on the road to heaven?"
He said, "Master, you were in a hurry last time and didn't know when the disciple's journey to heaven would open. As a result, the disciple could only wait until the beginning of spring before taking Xiaodie with the crow."
The old Taoist priest glared at him and said, "Don't you ask for help from others rather than ask for yourself? Let him solve this problem in your own way..."
Li Xiuyuan was startled, and quickly took out the yellow paper and cinnabar, looked at the old Taoist priest and asked, "A peace charm or an exorcism charm?"
The old Taoist priest sighed, reached out and placed a golden light on a few stacks of yellow paper. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Nonsense, of course it's a peace charm."
Li Xiuyuan nodded, and then he wrote on a few pieces of yellow paper and imprinted the best peace talisman on Luoxia Mountain with cinnabar on the yellow paper.
While smiling, he said: "I finally came back here and wanted to stay quietly for a few days. I didn't expect that this barbaric king also became a servant of the devil. It's really troublesome."
"Why didn't you say that this was your chance?" The old Taoist priest looked at it and smiled proudly.
Li Xiuyuan was flustered by the sight of his master, and couldn't help but ask: "It's rare to see master, can you tell me where the disappeared pot of elixirs went?"
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "You should ask the wild god about this matter, he takes care of it."
Li Xiuyuan thought about the changes in the Shura Heaven Realm and whispered: "Forget it, I'll wait here until the beginning of spring before setting foot on the door to heaven."
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and smiled: "Since you have figured out this truth, what is the point of discussing it with me now?"
Li Xiuyuan was surprised at first, and then a little bit happy, thinking that his guess was indeed somewhat reasonable.
After all, in this long winter, there is no way God can send down a spiritual rain to nourish this world, let alone the many monks in this world.
After thinking about this, Li Xiuyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "So, this disciple really has a reason to be proud."
The old Taoist priest sighed and reached out to gently stroke the peace charm on the table, just like stroking the black cloth on Li Xiuyuan's face.
Looking at him, he murmured: "You only think about them and don't think about when your eyes will recover?"
Li Xiuyuan replied calmly: "Disciple, if you have a lot of debt, you don't have to worry about it. You can take your time to bear it."
