While walking forward, Li Xiuyuan explained some principles to Ximen Mengdie in detail.
Let her understand that her path of cultivation is different from that of Huangfu Qingmei and Ximen Lone Star. Even her blood essence is far superior to that of her parents.
As a result, his future achievements will naturally not be the same as Huangfu Qingmei's.
Although innate physique cannot determine everything, Ximen Mengdie's innate and acquired qualities were all polished by Li Xiuyuan. How could Huangfu Qingmei and his wife be comparable?
As he walked, Li Xiuyuan silently stared at the stone slabs under his feet and the stone walls on both sides. Read the book
I don’t know how many years these stone walls have been baptized, but there is not much moss and weeds, but some dense lines.
In fact, it's not just the stone walls on both sides that have such dense patterns.
If you look carefully, you can see that even the bluestone on the ground has this kind of pattern, but the pattern on the stone is shallower, presumably because of the wind and rain.
If you don't look carefully, it's not easy to spot.
Ximen Mengdie held Master's hand while thinking about her own thoughts. After thinking for a long time, she smiled and said, "Master, can Xiaodie'er transform into a dragon and fly out?"
"Can't."
Li Xiuyuan whispered back to her: "You are different from the crow, it has not yet transformed, and you are now a human and not a dragon."
Ximen Mengdie said "Oh".
Then he asked unwillingly: "Why did the Green Snake want to learn Buddhist scriptures from the master before and want to become a human being? She can also transform into a dragon in the future..."
Upon hearing this, the crow immediately flew back and stood on Li Xiuyuan's shoulder. This was also the thing it cared about most.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then remained silent for a long time.
After walking far away, he said: "Take this mountain forest inside for example. Even you two guys don't want to stay there, so Qingjiao naturally wants to come out and see the world."
"In my opinion, she would rather give up some of the power of monsters, but also want to taste the love, hate and separation in the human world, which are the eight sufferings I mentioned..."
"Sometimes, in the eyes of the Buddha, there are eight kinds of suffering, but in the eyes of the world, it is love, happiness, and suffering... just like Mengdie misses her parents."
After letting out a long sigh, Li Xiuyuan felt extremely emotional.
I don't know who mentioned this truth in front of him, so he kept thinking hard, thinking about himself, Mu Mu and Nangong Ruyu.
It wasn't until today that he figured out something.
He continued: "Human monks want to transform into monsters because they want to gain the innate power of monsters that surpass humans."
"While the monsters are practicing hard and want to transform into humans, they want to experience the love and hate in the world while completing their heaven-defying cultivation..."
"Human monks can gain more power and reach a higher realm by learning Buddhism, Taoism, Qin Tao, and Talisman Tao. This is also an ability that monsters do not have..."
Crow nodded, as if he understood, but seemed to be getting more and more confused.
Ximen Mengdie nodded, raised his head and asked Li Xiuyuan, "So master, like Xiao Die'er, is still a dragon in the world?"
"Shenlong..."
Li Xiuyuan thought about his journey on the Thousand Miles of River Styx, and thought about the body of the divine dragon washed away after enlightenment between life and death, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He held her little hand and replied softly: "Master, due to some irresistible reasons, has lost the body of the dragon. Now I am just a mortal."
"No, you are the Great Killer!"
Hearing this, Wu Wu immediately corrected him: "If you were a mortal, how could you have taken my senior sister and me on this road to heaven, and how could you have suppressed the demon on top of the building?"
Li Xiuyuan chuckled, touched its head and said with a smile: "In my eyes, mortals can also ascend to heaven."
"This is a somewhat troublesome and even somewhat obscure truth for you right now. I hope that one day, I can calm down and explain it to you for three days.
Three nights. "
When Li Xiuyuan said this, he turned back to Ximen Mengdie and said seriously: "I hope that one day, you can be like me and become the most incredible mortal in the world."
The crow heard this and shouted: "I also want to become a mortal like you."
Xiao Die'er chuckled: "Since the master said so, Xiao Die'er must be like the master and wait until I become more powerful before going back to the wilderness to see grandma and grandma."
At this time, the crow suddenly pointed to the stone walls on both sides and said, "There are no trees or grass on it. It's strange."
Only then did Xiao Mengdie think of this strange thing, and raised her head to look at the line of sky above her head.
He murmured to himself: "Master, if a stone falls from the sky, where will Xiaodie'er hide?"
"Oh...do you see anything mysterious?"
Li Xiuyuan continued to move forward, smiled faintly, touched the lines on the stone wall with his left hand, and said to the two little guys.
Crow thought for a while and said: "There are many lines on this stone wall. Are these lines the same as your runes, which can prevent falling rocks?"
Xiao Mengdie also stretched out a small hand to touch, and replied after a while.
"Master, these lines are so strange. Did they chop up all the fallen branches and rocks, and then the wind took away the gravel on the ground?"
The little girl's heart was much more delicate than a crow's meridians. Although she couldn't see the expression on Li Xiuyuan's face, she could hear the strangeness in the master's voice.
He thought that this was really a magical place. No wonder the green dragon couldn't come out and had to transform before it could leave.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Master, could it be said that this ten-mile path is also a long magic circle?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and replied: "Yes, this is a huge magic circle. All the fallen stones and branches were blown away by a gust of wind along this path."
While he was talking, the stone walls on both sides instantly became ferocious, as if something was going to change here.
It's as if the big demon is about to rush out from the ground and out of this magic circle.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew from behind and inside. Suddenly, waves of fog appeared on the trail, instantly covering the whole world.
"Master, it's not good, the monster is really good now."
Xiao Mengdie was so bold that she would not pay attention to these fogs. If she were not afraid of her master being angry, she would have jumped forward with the crow by now.
The crow screamed strangely, seeming to see through everything in the mist.
Li Xiuyuan said in his ear: "Damn it, how could someone come from the other side?"
You know, it has been staring ahead vigilantly. Whether it has just come in or is halfway there, it has never relaxed.
This is a narrow path that cannot accommodate two people passing through at the same time. Unless they are like Li Xiuyuan and Xiao Mengdie, they can barely miss...
Li Xiuyuan smiled calmly and asked quietly: "Are you a boy or a girl? How old are you? What's your body shape like?"
He was thinking the same thing as the crow. He might not be able to get through such a narrow place.
"There is an old man coming across from you. He must be around sixty years old. He is thicker than you. Don't even think about it. You won't be able to get through..."
The crow quacked a few times, and then shouted: "Old man on the other side, this road is blocked, you should go back..."
"Ouch..." a voice sounded.
There was a sound of falling, panicked shouts, and the sound of clothes rubbing against the stone slabs on the ground, rang in Li Xiuyuan's ears.
Appearing in Li Xiuyuan's black and white world, an old man who had lived for an unknown number of years stood up from the ground shivering.
While lamenting, he struggled and swayed towards Li Xiuyuan.
When Li Xiuyuan saw this, he could only sigh leisurely, stepped forward, supported the old man with one hand and asked quietly: "The barren mountains and ridges, why did you come here?"
"Well, I have a last resort reason and want to take a trip to that mountain forest. I haven't been there for a long time."
The old man sighed, held Li Xiuyuan's outstretched hand with one hand, and murmured to himself.
"I see……"
Li Xiuyuan sighed helplessly, as if he was talking to the old man, or to Crow and Xiaodieer: "So, what should we do?"
"Either the old man steps back and lets us go first...or we step back and lets the old man leave."
The crow lay on his shoulder and roared: "Old man, where did you come from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"I come from Furong Town not far ahead. My wife was buried in the forest in front..."
The old man sighed leisurely, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said weakly: "Young man, what's wrong with your eyes? Old man, if I hadn't fallen suddenly... I would rather withdraw and let you pass first..."
The old man's words instantly made Li Xiuyuan feel extremely cruel.
Even Xiao Die'er behind him couldn't help but pull his sleeves: "Master, why don't we take one more trip? We're not in a hurry anyway."
"This... okay."
Xiaodie'er's words made Li Xiuyuan feel soft, thinking that he just wanted to walk a few more miles.
When he and his husband started practicing Buddhism, he often walked on this kind of road. My husband said that walking was also a practice, and he regarded it as being kind to others.
At this time, he suddenly remembered his disciple Xiaohu who was in the Dunhuang Grottoes.
Xiaohu once carved a Buddhist verse on a stone wall, and he still remembers it clearly until now.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly, turned around, took Xiaodie'er's hand and walked slowly on the road.
At this moment, it was as if a hand was gently plucking the strings in his heart, awakening some memories that he would soon forget.
The old man was stunned for a moment, coughed lightly after a moment, and then followed Li Xiuyuan, leaning on the crutch in one hand and supporting the stone wall with the other.
At the moment, Li Xiuyuan did not reach out to pull the old man, because the old man could come here and naturally have his own abilities. He had to take care of Xiaodie'er, no matter what happened around him.
Xiaodie'er looked at him and smiled warmly, then took out a bottle of water and handed it to Li Xiuyuan: "Master, don't be in a hurry to drink water. The worst we can do is leave tomorrow."
Suddenly, after hearing Xiaodie'er's words, the old man opened a pair of cloudy eyes.
Crow raised his head and looked back and forth, and found that the fog before was just when Li Xiuyuan was talking to the old man, and he didn't know where it drifted.
There was never such a thing as mist in Li Xiuyuan's eyes. He only saw Crow and Xiaodie'er. Since the two little guys were not in trouble, he would not be in trouble.
Holding Xiao Ling'er's little hand, it was like holding a string of rotating Buddhist beads. Li Xiuyuan murmured in his heart: "Look back when you meet a Buddha...but are you a Buddha?"
There were obviously no scars on the old man's body, but his walking speed was much slower than that of Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan thought about it and had to slow down, not to be anxious.
Xiaodie'er flicked her wrist, picked a flower from somewhere, put it in front of her lips and smelled it carefully, with a proud look on her face.
Walking quietly, Li Xiuyuan suddenly said to the old man: "Senior, don't be anxious, walk slowly. Since the meal has been put on the fire... we are no longer in a hurry."
The crow looked slightly strange. It didn't understand the meaning of Li Xiuyuan's words and couldn't help but said: "Is it possible that we have to cook a pot of rice before we go out?"
Xiaodie'er smiled when she heard this and said, "It seems okay, Xiaodie'er suddenly felt a little hungry."
