At this moment, Ximen Mengdie, who had bid farewell to his parents and finished eating beef noodles, was not crying as much as Xiaohong imagined.
Instead, he sat in the living room and read Buddhist scriptures to the crow.
Li Xiuyuan did not send everyone out of the city. Firstly, he was thinking about the little girl and was afraid that she would be sad. Secondly, he had gone through the pain of separation from his mother in Fengyun City, and since then he no longer likes to send people away.
What he didn't expect was that just when he was about to teach the two a new Buddhist scripture passage, Zhuang Waner accompanied the commander to the wine shop.
Seeing Zhuang Wan'er's eyes red from crying, Li Xiuyuan could only wave his hand and said: "Crow, take your senior sister outside to accompany Sister Hong."
Crow jumped onto Ximen Mengdie's shoulder and said with a smile, "Senior sister, let's go play outside."
Ximen Mengdie said with a smile: "Grandma, Die'er is going to play outside for a while, and I'll come back to accompany you later."
Zhuang Wan'er gently replied to her: "Go, I'll have a chat with your master."
Li Xiuyuan did not stand up, but said softly: "I'm sorry for the inconvenience to my eyes."
Huangfu Jingyun had originally wanted to return to Fucheng a long time ago, but because his daughter wanted to leave this world, he waited until today...
Looking at Li Xiuyuan, who was covered with a piece of black cloth, he couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you leave with Qingmei and the others? There are more people so we can take care of you?"
Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "I have to wait until the beginning of spring before leaving with Die'er, and they can't wait..."
"Why wait until the beginning of spring before leaving?"
Zhuang Waner was puzzled for a moment, looked at him and asked, "What's the point? Is it possible that your eyes will recover after the beginning of spring?"
Li Xiuyuan lit the stove on the table and put a pot of snow water on it to boil, while cleaning the teacups and pots on the table.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "No, I just want to confirm something."
"What's the matter?" Zhuang Waner asked.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said seriously: "The old devil outside Wangtian City used the life, essence and blood of the barbarian child monks to make a furnace of elixirs with the elixir provided by the barbarian king..."
"I shot the ancient cauldron into the sky with one arrow, but I didn't see the pills fall down...I was wondering, does this side of Heaven want to give the wilderness a glimmer of life?"
After spending a while, Li Xiuyuan expressed his doubts.
Without waiting for the two to ask questions, he continued: "As for my eldest sister, Ximen Lone Star, their hearts have already flown to heaven, and I can't guarantee this..."
Hearing Li Xiuyuan's words, Zhuang Waner and Huangfu Jingyun couldn't help but be moved.
Neither of them ever dreamed that they had given up on the path of cultivation, but they did not expect that the young man in front of them would bring them a glimmer of new life.
Only then did Zhuang Waner understand why Li Xiuyuan stayed and left in Lichun.
Maybe the spring breeze turns into rain, and God will turn those elixirs into a spiritual rain to nourish the wild world.
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "I don't have to worry about my debts. No matter when I set off, it won't affect my journey to heaven. But Xiaodie's situation is special. She is not suitable to be with all monks."
When Huangfu Jingyun heard this, he couldn't help but said with emotion: "I see, it seems that I have to wait until the beginning of spring before leaving here."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and dropped two pieces of cold plum tea into the purple sand. This was the last thing he did for Huangfu Qingmei.
Before the aroma of tea rose, he looked at Huangfu Jingyun and smiled: "The commander-in-chief can wait until the beginning of spring before leaving. I don't know. You are the first monk to prove this."
Zhuang Wan'er smelled the faint fragrance of winter plums and couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible..."
Li Xiuyuan poured the spirit tea into their cups and replied quietly: "This can be regarded as an acquaintance between me and your daughter, and I will honor you on her behalf..."
After saying that, he took out a jade bottle from behind, dropped two pieces of spiritual tea into it, and then placed it in front of Zhuang Wan'er.
He said: "This share should be given to Ximen Lone Star's parents, although I no longer want to care about him because of the death of the abbot of the Buddhist temple outside the city."
After thinking about it he said:
"It's better not to see him."
When Zhuang Waner heard this, she quickly put it away. This was related to Wang Lianhua's cultivation, so she had to accept this favor.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "Let's drink tea. It's a waste of time. I can't find anything like this again in the world."
Huangfu Jingyun was shocked when he heard this. He stretched out his hand to pick up the cup and took a brief sip. He immediately frowned tightly with a look of pain on his face.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Don't spit it out, taste it carefully... If you think about the past, you will understand."
Zhuang Wan'er didn't believe it, so she blew it gently, tried to taste it, and then made a "wow" sound and wanted to spit it out.
Thinking about what Li Xiuyuan said, he quickly covered his mouth.
Sighing, Li Xiuyuan replied: "This is also the last time I will help you. I hope the wild heaven will give us a surprise on the first day of spring."
Zhuang Wan'er didn't say anything, just nodded heavily.
Li Xiuyuan added tea to the two of them and said to Huangfu Jingyun: "The commander-in-chief may be able to break through the tribulation today, but he won't be able to ascend... Let's wait until after the beginning of spring..."
Then he said to Zhuang Wan'er: "After drinking three courses of tea, you can go home. If you have any questions, come back tomorrow."
The couple sighed together and said nothing. They just drank three courses of tea quietly, said hello to Ximen Mengdie, and left in a hurry.
When Ximen Mengdie saw her grandma and grandpa leaving, she couldn't help but ran in and looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Godfather, is grandma angry with Die'er?"
"How is that possible?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "You are her treasure. They have things to do when they get home, so they will naturally come to see you tomorrow."
Then he took out Buddhist scriptures and shouted: "Call your junior brother in, today's homework is not finished yet."
That night, thunder rang out for two hours outside Ding'an City, as if this part of the world couldn't wait for the first spring rain.
Two days later, Zhuang Waner brought Wang Lianhua to thank Li Xiuyuan and came to see Ximen Mengdie.
Huangfu Qingmei had already met Qingyue and his party from Shura Heaven outside the Great Wall.
As soon as Qingyue saw Huangfu Qingmei, she immediately asked, "Has the princess seen Li Xiuyuan? Where has this guy gone?"
Huangfu Qingmei took out the brocade bag prepared by Li Xiuyuan and handed it to Qingyue. He looked at her with a bitter smile and said, "He is probably taking my daughter to make wine in Ding'an City."
After that, he explained the function of the Peace Talisman to Qingyue and others in detail.
Finally, he said: "Yours should be different from mine...but you must remember that after entering the heavenly road, you must not separate."
When Chu Feiyan, who was behind Qingyue, heard this, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Won't that guy come with us?"
Qingyue sighed, took out the peace charm from her brocade bag, and shared one with the people around her...
Then he said quietly: "Everyone, be sure to keep it safe and don't lose it, lest you get separated after entering. This is the Generalissimo's wish."
Hua Chenyu took one, looked at Jun Buyu behind him and shouted, "Why didn't the little Taoist priest give it to us in Luoxia Mountain?"
Huangfu Qingmei said quickly: "You can't blame him, he only came up with this idea just before we were about to leave."
Hua Tianyu looked at Chu Feng and sighed: "In this way, we don't have to worry about not being able to see each other after we separate."
Ximen Lone Star thought for a while and said, "My brother will not bring the crow to my daughter until after the beginning of spring. If any of you want to wait, just wait until after the beginning of spring."
For Ximen Lone Star, he didn’t want to wait a day longer.
Qingyue sighed and said quietly: "Since the Generalissimo has prepared this treasure for us, everyone must not let him down."
At this moment, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded in the sky, and then, a golden door opened in front of everyone.
Huangfu Qingmei took a look and told Li Qiu
Shui shouted: "Sister, we have to say goodbye to this world."
Li Qiu Shui sighed, followed Guan Yanhong and the other three with a wry smile and said, "Let's go, now that we have made up our minds."
At this time, Chen Shanshan and Zhao Ping'an walked over from a distance, looked at Qingyue and asked, "Princess, have you seen my senior brother?"
Qingyue took out two peace charms and handed them to her, and explained Li Xiuyuan's arrangement.
Finally, he waved to the people around him and shouted excitedly: "We have been waiting for so many years, isn't it just to step into this door?"
Chu Feiyan nodded, took Hua Chenyu's hand and said, "Let's hold hands and go in together."
Huangfu Qingmei held Ximen Lone Star's hand, looked far away in the direction she came from, and murmured to herself: "Mother, father, Xiaodie, goodbye..."
In Ding'an City, Li Xiuyuan, who was making tea, sighed.
Looking at the two women in front of him, he said, "They have already stepped through that door. Everything that follows depends on their hard work and God's mercy."
When Ximen Mengdie heard this, she couldn't help but ask: "Godfather, are we going to step through that door too?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled faintly: "This door will last for three months, we are just a few days late."
Ximen Mengdie just said oh and went out to play with Xiaohong.
Wang Lianhua took Zhuang Wan'er's hand, her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and she said with tears: "Our children are leaving..."
Zhuang Waner looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "The commander-in-chief didn't wait for his ascension after breaking through the realm... Do he still have to wait for that ray of life?"
Li Xiuyuan nodded and told Zhuang Wan'er what he said in the Thousand Buddha Temple in the Shura Heaven Realm.
Finally, he said softly: "If this world is like the place I passed by, then you can also wait for your own life. The road to heaven is not the only place to go."
After Wang Lianhua heard these words, she finally calmed down and thought about her future practice.
Zhuang Waner smiled: "It seems that we can get a new start without ascending. Isn't it good to think about it?"
Li Xiuyuan thought about Li Qiushui and Shangguan Yanhong who had left, and suddenly felt a little lonely and depressed.
He murmured to himself: "If this matter could have come to an end earlier, my eldest sister wouldn't have to follow me on that heavenly road."
When Zhuang Wan'er heard this, she was so stunned that she couldn't speak.
Counting the days, there are only seven days to the beginning of spring. Seven days is just a matter of the blink of an eye.
Seven days later, Ximen Mengdie would leave Ding'an City with Li Xiuyuan. Thinking of this, even a strong-willed woman couldn't help but cry holding Wang Lianhua in her arms.
Wuwu said: "My dear, I can't bear to leave Xiaodie."
When Wang Lianhua heard this, she immediately hugged her and started crying. She had never had such an experience.
Li Xiuyuan sighed, looked at the two women and said seriously: "Xiaodie is pregnant with the essence and blood of the dragon, and her future cultivation will only surpass all of you..."
In his opinion, even if there was a way to deal with Ximen Mengdie's demonic aura, he did not want to leave the little girl here.
After all, the road ahead is dangerous, but also full of opportunities.
"Ah..." Zhuang Waner screamed and blurted out, "Why didn't her mother tell me, and even Xiaoxing hid it from us?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "The couple also have a trace of dragon blood, which comes from my master, but I don't let them say anything about Xiaodie."
After thinking for a while, he said, "If it weren't for the fact that she carries the blood of the dragon, the old devil wouldn't have kept her until the last moment."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wan'er felt weak all over and said in a daze, "That's it."
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "Think about it, maybe one day in the future, Xiaodie will give you a surprise?"
