On this day, Li Xiuyuan asked Ximen Mengdie and Crow to accompany Huajiao to move some of the few items in his home to Yunqi Temple.
Xiaodie'er's room is very large, and it is more convenient for the two of them to live together, whether they take turns on duty at night or take care of each other in daily life.
The most important thing is that Huajiao is in the temple. Whenever he encounters something he doesn’t understand, he can always ask Li Xiuyuan for advice.
For Li Xiuyuan, as long as Huajiao moves to the temple, he will at least no longer have to worry about Huajiao's personal safety.
Although he hasn't said this since Huajiao's accident.
From the perspective of the old man Gong Yangbo, I am afraid that the status quo will remain on the mountain until Li Xiuyuan leaves.
No matter what, there is a young man with a compassionate heart preaching sermons to the people of Furong Town in a temple on the mountain. This is a blessing that cannot be achieved in several lifetimes.
After all, the green dragon in the mountain forest transformed into another form in one day, which is the best example.
The old man in the meditation room did not accept Li Xiuyuan's invitation to move to Yunqi Temple for a short stay. He wanted to control his sobriety and not consider whether to become a Buddha in Furong Town for the time being.
There was a charcoal fire in the room, and a breeze leaked in through the cracks in the window, but it did not affect his sleepiness.
Even if he takes a walk in the mountains, he still needs to go home and rest for a while. His wife is gone, and he has to learn to maintain his health.
However, just when he was about to indulge in certain fragments of the past, he suddenly opened his eyes.
In winter, Furong Town is covered with white snow, the sky is dry, and the nights are even colder.
The cold wind from the far north is like a sharp knife, cutting this side of the sky at night, giving people the illusion that what can happen at night like this?
However, the old man looked at the burning house leaning on the roadside at the other end of the town, and was so shocked that he could not speak for a moment.
I thought to myself, is there really a god in this world?
If not for that... Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but send a message to Li Xiuyuan on the mountain and told him the scene that happened at the intersection of the town.
Then he said in a daze: "If Huajiao's house wasn't standing alone at the intersection, this whole street would have been burned down... This is really abominable..."
When the fire started to burn and when the old man found out, Huajiao's home was already enveloped in raging flames.
Li Xiuyuan was sitting in meditation in front of the hall, shrouded in spiritual consciousness. When he saw the blazing fire, he thought to himself, could God be reminding him?
Otherwise, today he would not suddenly call Huajiao to the mountain to accompany Xiaodie'er in the unfinished temple.
He sighed and replied: "Is it possible that God wants you and me to leave this world? Is it God's will or is it a man-made disaster?"
The old man lay in his room, which was like a Buddhist temple on the mountain. He stretched out his hand to catch the breath of fire from the intersection and sighed.
He felt the breath of the flame in the wind. Suddenly I felt the cold wind blowing in from the gap in the window.
He murmured: "It's God's will, but it's also man's misfortune. Do you want me to help you find the rat that set the fire?"
"No need to bother senior."
Li Xiuyuan replied softly: "If nothing happens, they will inquire with the people in the town tomorrow and come to the mountain tomorrow night. I will wait here..."
"Huajiao, Xiaodie and Crow are all in the temple on the mountain with me. So this mountain is my world and the world of Buddha. How can we be afraid of the wind and rain in the world?"
Li Xiuyuan chuckled: "Spring hasn't even started yet, and they are already anxious."
"Then what? What are your plans?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "You regarded peppercorns as your fate, but after the green dragon transformed, you followed Helian Mingyue to the imperial city. Helian Mingyue wanted to have a cause and effect with you, but you waved your hand and broke her fate."
"I believe that at this moment, she still doesn't know that Huajiao has become your fate, just like her and Qingjiao will one day become the fetters for you to move forward."
After the old man finished speaking, he sighed leisurely and closed his eyes.
Since Li Xiuyuan doesn't want to put out the fire, it seems that there is no need to put out the fire.
Yes, it can't be extinguished at all? But Li Xiuyuan didn't even think about catching mice at the moment.
Then, he also wanted to see if the rat that set fire would be stupid enough to throw himself into a trap and send it to his door.
Li Xiuyuan in the living room sighed softly, and communicated with Huajiao in Ximen Mengdie's house: "If you haven't slept, come over and have a cup of spiritual tea."
Originally, he wanted to wait until the beginning of spring.
Unexpectedly, someone from Wanping or from the Imperial City couldn't wait and wanted to come to Furong Town to cut grass.
Today, Huajiao is on duty at Choushi. She is holding a volume of Buddhist scriptures and reading, waiting for her husband to be picked up when the time comes.
Unexpectedly, when I heard Li Xiuyuan's voice transmission, I was startled. I opened the door and ran towards my husband's guest: "Sir, he is in a good mood. He is still making tea in the middle of the night."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and told him what happened at the foot of the mountain.
Hearing the sound of Huajiao's soul flying into the sky, he immediately released his spiritual consciousness and went down the mountain to look at his house...
Looking at the house that was almost burned to rubble, he collapsed softly on the chair and shouted feebly: "Why is this happening, sir..."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and replied quietly: "There are God's will and man-made disasters."
"God's will is that I have to admit that you are my fate that cannot be shaken off. You can leave with me... The man-made disaster is that you and Crow, Xiao Die'er went to Wanping Town and were targeted by some people with ulterior motives..."
"Since they won't let you go no matter what, then let everything be up to fate and let them come here. No one can hurt you if I am here."
Li Xiuyuan reached out and poured her a cup of cold plum tea and said, "Drink the tea while it's hot."
"Why is this happening..."
Huajiao picked up the Hanmei Lingcha with a faint cold fragrance in front of her, her face full of tears: "That is the only place where my brother and I can rely on. It contains my childhood dreams..."
Li Xiuyuan did not answer her question, but said seriously: "Drink three cups of spiritual tea first, and then talk to me."
Huajiao was shocked when she heard this and didn't know what to say.
He had no choice but to hold the spirit tea in his hand, take a brief sip, and wanted to spit it out with a "Wow!", but Li Xiuyuan drank it instantly.
"If you want revenge, drink this tea quietly!"
Looking at the flame that was about to go out, Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "From now on, Furong Town is the place where you need to let go and give up."
Huajiao frowned and said no more.
She believed that Li Xiuyuan would not lie to her. After all, she had been looking forward to breaking through for several years, and now she had finally waited for this day.
Li Xiuyuan looked at Zanthoxylum bungeanum, who was drinking tea quietly, and continued: "Although this spiritual tea is bitter, it is not as bitter as your life's past. Realize it carefully. It is your practice tonight."
Huajiao drank a cup of spiritual tea and replied coldly: "Even God can't stop me from going there."
A cup of cold plum tea reminded her of the happy time when her parents were still alive when she was a child. Later, her parents passed away and she was left with the hardship of raising her younger brother alone...
Not to mention, I felt a little happy after meeting the master later, but I didn't expect that God would play tricks on people, and even the master left him. .
Not to mention, not long ago, her younger brother was killed by someone from the Meng family in the imperial city, and this hatred has been pressing in her heart.
She wants to become stronger, she wants to avenge her brother, and she wants to fight for the person who set the fire tonight...
If her husband hadn't asked her to move to the mountain to live with Xiao Ling'er today... she wouldn't have dared to think about it.
To her, these were nothing compared to the cup of cold plum tea in front of her, because just one cup of the tea made her feel the boundless spiritual energy rolling through her body.
Looking at the silent Zanthoxylum bungeanum, Li Xiuyuan said: "I originally wanted to give you this cup of spiritual tea in a few years. In that way, you will break through to a higher realm..."
"It's just that I didn't expect that they would not let you go after you have given up your hatred. So, let me help you break through the situation overnight."
Retrieve your consciousness from the ruins at the intersection at the foot of the mountain
, there is nothing valuable there anymore, and it is not worthy of his concern anymore.
The cold wind blowing in from outside the hall was no match for the pot of charcoal fire in front of him. Tonight would be Huajiao's first night on the slopes.
Li Xiuyuan communicated with the old man who had his eyes closed, and said: "On the day of the beginning of spring, I will invite you to have a cup of tea. Tonight is the day of Sichuan peppercorns."
The old man did not open his eyes, but sighed leisurely.
He murmured to himself: "The person who wanted to be with you ended up with someone else; the woman you didn't want to make way for and turned back became your apprentice. God, you really know how to play tricks on people."
Just as the old man said with emotion, Li Xiuyuan is not God, so naturally he cannot calculate some of the most incredible things he has encountered since he came to this world.
In fact, in his opinion, he didn't make a choice.
Make way for the old man and turn back because of the old man's age and persistence.
Making way for Helian Mingyue was not because of her strength, but because Helian Mingyue's unintentional words at that time touched the softness in his heart.
He gave Qingjiao the opportunity to practice Buddhism and ask questions, but that didn't mean he would be her teacher.
And after he and Huajiao left the forest, even when Crow and Xiaodieer broke through the tribulation, they still didn't give Huajiao a chance.
Until Hua Yiyi's tragic death, Huajiao's kindness, and Wen Ziwei's strength reminded him of Wuxin and Jasmine who had been killed.
Let Li Xiuyuan's rock-like heart melt into Huajiao again and be willing to help her hear the Tao...
As long as she is willing to leave, he is willing to take Huajiao and Xiao Mengdie on another journey.
After quietly drinking three cups of spiritual tea, Huajiao fell into an epiphany. Perhaps, she had been surrounded by crazy spiritual energy and fell into broken situations again and again.
Li Xiuyuan communicated with the old man and said: "Sometimes I have been thinking, if I still look back the third time, will I be imprisoned in that mountain forest forever like Qingjiao said?"
This was not Li Xiuyuan's self-confidence. He did not think that he would really be blocked by the ten-mile long path.
After all, when he was in the Peach Blossom Spring, he and Huangfu Qinglian were in the mountains, and they blazed their own path.
In the end, we encountered more dangers and troubles, but so what?
The old man sighed and said, "That's just a legend. Not to mention me, even Helian Mingyue said that she had never encountered a human monk on that stone path in her life."
In the old man's opinion, even if he met a human monk, with Helian Mingyue's style, he would not be able to make way for others.
And Li Xiuyuan knew that the monster that encountered that woman would have turned into ashes long ago... No, the monster couldn't step into that path.
At this moment, the spiritual energy from the mountain rushed into the hall guests crazily, turning into a whirlpool of spiritual energy and pouring into Huajiao's body.
Quietly feeling the atmosphere in the living room, Li Xiuyuan murmured to himself: "In a while, Huajiao will break through the tribulation. Seniors, don't be surprised."
After saying that, Chuanyin called out the snoozing crow.
Looking at the crow flying in with flapping wings, he said quietly: "You will stay here for a while, if something unexpected happens, I will take your junior sister to go to the tribulation not far away."
Crow screamed in surprise and blurted out: "What happened? Is it the bad guys from the Imperial City who are looking for trouble with Huajiao?"
The old man at the foot of the mountain sighed and smiled: "Is this a disaster for her? Or a blessing?"
"You can ask Huajiao about this tomorrow." Looking at the crows, Li Xiuyuan and the old man replied: "Don't blessings and misfortunes always depend on each other?"
