It wasn't until the moment of Xu, when the sky and the earth were dark, that the crow finished bathing in the divine light and returned to Li Xiuyuan.
Ximen Mengdie tore off a large piece of roast meat and handed it to it, touched the crow's head and smiled: "Junior brother, you are the most ruthless monk I have ever seen. No one can compare with you."
The crow took a sip of the spiritual wine from the cup first, and then roared with satisfaction: "It scared me to death."
Tonight's last thunderstorm was caused by a crow seeking death and flying into the sky, almost never coming back.
Fortunately, the magic talisman that Li Xiuyuan gave him saved its life. Just like Ximen Mengdie, no matter how courageous the crow is, it can't stand up to this rolling thunder.
Li Xiuyuan ignored it and just smiled: "Next time, you can continue to commit suicide and don't beg me again."
"That's impossible, you are my uncle."
The crow took a bite, swallowed it in one breath, and then replied: "I don't accept anyone, but you...it's just like this spiritual wine, it can kill people."
Until this moment, Huajiao didn't believe what Ximen Mengdie said. It seemed that his hope of breaking through the situation really lay with Li Xiuyuan.
Even so, she did not reveal her thoughts immediately because she saw the black cloth on Li Xiuyuan's face.
With a dull pain in my heart, I wondered what terrible thing happened to make the guy in front of me lose his sight and become a blind man?
He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the black cloth on Li Xiuyuan's face, but after thinking about it, he stretched his hand towards the barbecue on the fire.
He looked at the crow and said, "Eat slowly, there is so much, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it all tonight."
Ximen Mengdie glared at it, then looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Master, are we not going to travel tonight?"
Li Xiuyuan pointed to the sleeping bag laid out under the tree behind him and smiled at her: "After you eat, you will go to bed soon. We will leave again tomorrow."
As a result, before Ximen Mengdie got into the sleeping bag, Crow Crow, who drank a glass of spiritual wine and ate two pieces of barbecue, lay down next to Li Xiuyuan and snored.
The moon and stars were sparse, and the two little guys were so exhausted that they had to dream long ago.
Huajiao couldn't sleep, so she looked at Li Xiuyuan in front of her and said, "I have a carriage at the foot of the mountain. You can follow me back to Furong Town."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and asked, "Is there a village at the foot of the mountain?"
Huajiao shook his head: "This is a barren mountain. Where do these people come from? I also saw two families far down the mountain. They are probably hunters."
Only then did Li Xiuyuan realize that Huajiao had given the borrowed carriage and carriage to the hunter.
Looking at the woman in front of him who was in the late stage of distraction state, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh quietly.
If you are unlucky in your mind, cultivation is really a money-consuming and time-consuming thing, and not many monks can persist until the last moment.
Thinking about it this way, he was pretty lucky.
When I was young, because I practiced Buddhist physical methods, I never used elixirs or spiritual stones, and it was the same later.
Along the way, the elixirs and spiritual stones I obtained seemed to be distributed to relatives and friends around me.
Except for the immortal spirit stones he obtained in the back mountain of the academy, Wei Qing, Chu Feng and others were unable to refine them, so he did not share them with his friends.
At that time, I didn’t dare to share it with others casually.
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask: "There are no elixirs near Furong Town? Or is it that the resources for cultivation are too few and the environment is too harsh?"
Huajiao thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "All the elixirs within hundreds of miles of Furong Town have been harvested long ago, otherwise I wouldn't take the risk to come here to try."
Li Xiuyuan snorted and asked, "Is the forest we came out of dangerous?"
After encountering obstacles when going out for three days in a row, Li Xiuyuan first felt that God was torturing him, and secondly thought that this place should be a difficult place to get in and out.
In other words, it is a dangerous place.
Huajiao nodded: "It is said that no one who has ever entered the mountain forest you left has been able to leave alive. I was forced to have no choice...
…”
Only then did Li Xiuyuan realize that the old man and the woman were not ordinary people.
Otherwise, I would not dare to go to that mountain forest alone.
In a blink of an eye, he thought of the green dragon who was practicing Buddhism, and thought that there should be many dangerous monsters there.
He sighed and said, "There are few people there and monsters are rampant. It's better not to try it again, girl."
Coldly, Huajiao said: "Compared with the demons in the world, this monster in the forest is nothing..."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, thinking of his past experience, he could only sigh and said: "Then you can't stop yearning for the light just because you are in the dark!"
When Huajiao heard this, she was stunned.
Somehow, when she looked at the blind young man in front of her, she suddenly felt a sense of sadness, thinking that her life was already miserable.
Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him looked more miserable than himself.
She looked at him silently, sighed quietly, and muttered to herself. Even Li Xiuyuan didn't hear clearly what she was saying.
After a while, Li Xiuyuan said: "I should stay in Furong Town for some time. If it is convenient, I can help you break through..."
In his opinion, since Ximen Mengdie has given the jade pendant to him, he must find time to return the cause and effect.
If it's not the cause and effect he wants, he won't accept it, not even Ximen Mengdie.
Listening to these words, Huajiao's body started to tremble.
He stared blankly at the young man in front of him, a light flickering gently in his eyes. After a while, he nodded and replied:
"So, thank you very much."
It wasn't until the group of people went down the mountain, Huajiao and the hunters at the foot of the mountain took out the horses, and Xiao Mengdie gave her two gold coins.
Only then did Li Xiuyuan know that this side of the world still used gold, silver, spiritual stones, etc. This saved him a lot of trouble.
After getting on the carriage, Huajiao looked at Li Xiuyuan who was sitting in front as the coachman, and couldn't help but ask: "Can the young master see the road?"
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "I only use my spiritual consciousness to see the world. In my eyes, everything is just black and white."
"That...that's not bad." Huajiao showed no sympathy. She heard confidence in the boy's voice, not depression.
Xiao Mengdie chuckled and said, "Fortunately, my sister is pulling the cart with two horses, otherwise the master would not be able to sit down."
Crow thought for a while, then took out a space ring and handed it to Huajiao. He had many such things on his body.
Huajiao was stunned and murmured: "How is this allowed?"
Crow laughed and said, "Li Xiuyuan didn't want it in the past. I keep these things. Girl, just take them. If you don't have enough, come back to me."
Xiao Mengdie also laughed and said, "Junior brother is right. If sister has any difficulties, just tell me and master and I will find a solution for you."
Huajiao glanced at Crow and Xiaodie'er and couldn't figure out what kind of person this seemingly inconspicuous young man in front of him was.
A crow dared to resist the catastrophe, and a girl had already survived the catastrophe?
This was something she had never encountered before in her practice.
An ordinary carriage, unremarkable.
The two horses listened quietly to Li Xiuyuan's command, but miraculously, Huanjiao didn't hear the sound of the young man's whip, and the carriage moved forward along the winding mountain road.
There were no villages along the way, and Huajiao knew that the group would pass by a small village where they could spend the night until dusk.
Li Xiuyuan sat in front of the carriage, but he was thinking about how his husband taught him how to drive a carriage. Later, he turned into a dog egg, and his master, the old Taoist priest, taught him again.
Therefore, for driving a car, I have learned a good skill.
There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the wind, which made him feel refreshed.
I heard from Huajiao before that it is late autumn now and it will snow in a few days because it is close to the mountains.
There will also be some wild flowers blooming desperately.
I don't know why, but I accidentally thought of the peach trees destroyed by Qin Qianshan. If it weren't for that guy, it wouldn't be long before Taoyuan would be the season when thousands of peach trees were in full bloom.
Looking back, I thought about the apricot trees in Luoxia Mountain, weren't they chopped off by me? .z.
Although the process is different, the results are not the same?
Next year, the apricot blossoms on that mountain will be in full bloom. I'm afraid they won't be as bright and beautiful as this year. Fortunately, there are still a few apricot trees left in the end.
Ming didn't know that the elder from Taoyuan would marry to Luoxia Mountain to watch the flowers on that mountain and enjoy the few apricots.
Think about it, even with Dongfang Ruyu and Nangong Ruyu, I still don't like peach blossoms. Is it really because peach blossoms are too sweet and greasy?
The mountain trail is not wide, but the two horses pull the cart obediently. A mountain breeze blows in the face, bringing a bit of chill.
Li Xiuyuan woke up from the March flowers in an instant, waiting to face the cold winter ahead.
Fortunately, the group was neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, and even Huajiao, who had given up exploring, showed no intention of returning home in a hurry.
This allowed Crow Crow and Ximen Mengdie to have enough fun along the way. It took four days for the carriage to slowly enter an ancient town.
Even in late autumn, there is still a small river flowing through the town, and finally turns into a waterfall flowing down, and merges into the Taohua River mentioned by Huajiao.
In the ancient town on the Taohua River, the most numerous trees in the ancient town are apricot trees.
The journey was slow. Li Xiuyuan originally thought about waiting for the woman he met in the mountains, and returned the jade pendant in his hand to her to settle a relationship.
Unexpectedly, the woman was even slower than him. It seemed that she had no intention of leaving the forest in a hurry.
After entering the town, Li Xiuyuan inquired with Huajiao and asked her to take him to the inn by the waterfall. Then he asked Crow to accompany Ximen Mengdie and go shopping with Huajiao.
The town is not big, but Li Xiuyuan's spiritual consciousness is enveloped. At this moment, he just wants to lean against the window and make a pot of spiritual tea.
While the two little guys are away, ask Master what is going on? What about the promised path to heaven? Why does it feel so similar to Datang?
Ximen Mengdie was thinking about buying new clothes, Crow was anxious to buy something to eat, and he followed Huanjiao eagerly away.
The sky was just right, so Li Xiuyuan chose a large suite near the waterfall. A living room separated the two bedrooms, which was suitable for him and Ximen Mengdie to stay temporarily.
A fire was made to boil water, and there were two empty teacups on the table.
Looking at the sky outside the window, he murmured to himself: "Master, have I come to the wrong place? Is this... called the road to heaven?"
After a long time, a sigh came from the divine sea, but the old Taoist priest did not come to him.
Instead, he replied quietly to him: "What about the Dharma you learned? What is the Heavenly Path? Where is the Heavenly Path? Is it important to you?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this and asked: "So, what should disciples do to be considered as having stepped on the road to heaven?"
The old Taoist priest smiled lightly: "Before talking about this, let's talk about your little disciple and the crow..."
Li Xiuyuan was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but ask: "Xiaodie'er... I was just about to ask Master why the demonic energy in her body suddenly disappeared without a trace..."
The old Taoist priest sighed and told him about the scene that happened on the stone path.
Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, the old monk is not here, otherwise your experience would have scared him half to death."
When Li Xiuyuan heard that those evil spirits had penetrated into his divine sea, he couldn't help but murmured to himself: "If this happens, won't this disciple have to sleep for a few more days?"
