Sitting in front of the Buddha all night yielded no results.
In the early morning, Dangjiao and Helian Ruoxue woke up and walked around the mountains, but they didn't see their husband come out of the room.
Even when the crow came back with the breakfast bought from the mountain, Li Xiuyuan still didn't move.
The two women didn't know what happened at the foot of the mountain last night, but before they got up in the morning, there was a heavy rain in the sky.
Crow looked at the two of them and shook his head: "Master was tired last night. Don't worry about him. Sister Noodles, you two are divided. Qingfeng and I will go to the pavilion to read Buddhist scriptures."
The old man who got up early did not go up the mountain. Instead, he took a group of villagers who needed horses and distributed them on the edge of the woods at the bottom of the mountain.
The divine fire last night did not wake up the dreaming villagers. A burst of rain in the early morning washed away the blood on the ground. No one knew what happened.
They all asked the old man where the young man on the mountain had bought a horse and given it to them.
Some villagers even wanted to go up the mountain to thank the young man, but the old man dissuaded them one by one, saying that the owner had worked hard all night and asked everyone to go after the autumn harvest.
Jiao and Helian Ruoxue on the mountain were in a daze holding a bowl of noodles. From Jiao's point of view, it seemed that their husband rarely slept in.
After thinking for a while, I had no choice but to say, "I didn't expect that my senior sister would be in seclusion, and even my husband would lose his energy."
But Helian Mingyue smiled faintly: "Eat quickly. After eating, I will go to the pavilion to see the breeze. What are you doing hiding there with the crow?"
Jiao sighed, thinking that apart from his younger brother's grave, the only thing there was the Buddhist scriptures on the iron pillars.
Is it possible that crows will carry the breeze to the hillside to see the scenery on the Peach River?
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Didn't you, sir, cast a big iron pillar in the pavilion? The Buddhist scriptures carved on it were also made by your hand."
When Hebian Ruoxue heard this, she thought that this guy was indeed an idiot.
Don't you know that Qingfeng is already sitting in the pavilion blankly, staring at the Buddhist scriptures on the iron pillar in front of him?
Crow didn't know why he was in a daze, so he had to ask: "Master said, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. You can memorize it first. If you have any words you don't understand, just ask Junior Sister Jiao."
Qingfeng sighed after hearing this and said, "Not only did I see the Buddhist scriptures carved on it, I also saw the sword energy between the lines. Why is this?"
"Sword Qi?? Can you see it??"
Crow looked at the surprised expression on his face and chuckled: "I can't see it yet. Master said that you can see the sword spirit when you see it. You can slowly understand it."
Qingfeng nodded: "You go back, I want to sit here for a while."
Crow nodded: "Qingfeng, you are
Qingfeng was stunned: "Really? It seems that even Jiao is afraid and has no intention to read this Buddhist scripture, right?"
The crow shook his head, jumped down from the railing of the pavilion, and staggered towards the temple.
He replied: "Junior sister is just practicing with the master. She only memorized half a volume of Buddhist scriptures. She is not a Buddhist disciple, just like me."
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng was so stunned that he could not speak.
If according to what the crow said, wouldn't he really be
What Qingfeng didn't know was that this was done intentionally by Li Xiuyuan. The purpose was to give a destined person like Qingfeng an opportunity to learn the way of the sword.
And he carved it in the temple and the Buddhist hall, so that there was no trace of sword spirit in the Buddhist scriptures he copied.
Qingfeng had been here for a few days and was reading Buddhist scriptures in the temple. There were no surprises.
After eating the noodles and cleaning the living room, Helian Ruoxue thought for a while and came to the pavilion to enjoy the breeze.
When she saw Qingfeng's focused expression, she was inevitably curious, so she stepped forward and asked, "Qingfeng, what are you looking at? If you are so focused, aren't there Buddhist scriptures in the living room?"
Shaking his head, Qingfeng sighed, as if the moment that just passed was as long as a lifetime, but as fast as the blink of an eye.
He rubbed his aching eyes, and a solemn expression appeared on his pale face.
He murmured to himself: "I am reading the Buddhist scriptures, and I am also reading the sword energy between the lines. Princess, try it, can you see it?"
Helian Ruoxue heard this
Shocked, he immediately sat on the stone bench of the pavilion leaning against the iron pillar, turned his head and looked carefully between the lines in front of him.
He just read two lines and read softly: "All gods, humans, asuras, etc., who have seen the Tathagata's Nirvana, are all sad and unhappy."
Before she finished reading, she felt a sword energy coming towards her, which scared her so much that she screamed "Ah" and moved aside instantly.
Qingfeng thought for a while, clasped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Princess, I can see the sword energy between the lines."
Helian Ruoxue was stunned when she heard this, and blurted out: "What about Crow? Where are Xiaodie'er and Jiao?"
Qingfeng shook his head and replied softly: "The crow said that when they left, the master had not finished casting the iron pillar. It could not see it, and Xiaodie had not seen it yet."
The corners of Helian Ruoxue's mouth moved, and she stopped talking at the moment. Instead, she gestured with her hands and fell into the artistic conception between the lines.
When Qingfeng saw it, his mind immediately sank into the iron pillar in front of him.
Drawing one stroke at a time, I feel like I am the Buddhist scriptures one by one, and then I slash out an earth-shattering sword energy.
From a distance, Crow, who returned to the living room, lay on the table and looked at the two idiot-like guys in the pavilion.
One to the left and one to the right, wishing to drill his head into the iron pillar in front of him.
He said to Jiao who walked in: "Junior sister, when you have nothing to do, you can go to the pavilion with that woman to see the sword energy that Mr. has imprinted on it."
"Sword energy?"
Jiao was stunned, looked at it and asked in disbelief: "Brother, why don't you look at it?"
Crow smiled bitterly and said, "I would like to see it, but I can't see it. Master said you can't force it. If you can see it, see it. If you can't see it, just wait."
In fact, what the crow wants to say is, I haven't transformed yet, so what do you think?
Is it possible that as a crow, I can one day slash a sword energy that will surprise my master? In its opinion, Qingfeng is possible.
Jiao nodded gently and decided to take a look after lunch. If he couldn't see it, he would ask his husband to find a solution.
At nearly noon, after arranging things down the mountain, the old man came to the mountain. He looked at the crow in the living room and asked, "Where is your master?"
Crow thought for a while and replied: "Master, I guess he is too tired and hasn't woken up yet."
While he was talking, Li Xiuyuan walked in.
Looking at the crow, he asked: "Why did Qingfeng and the princess go to the pavilion to sit in a daze? What's so good about the scenery there?"
Crow chuckled: "That fool Qingfeng saw the master's sword energy, so naturally he couldn't bear to leave. Is it possible that the princess is the same? No, she seems to have been sitting there for an hour."
The old man was shocked when he heard this, but this was something he had never thought of.
Then he looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "Why is there no sword energy in the Buddhist scriptures in the cloister of the temple, nor in the Buddhist hall, and even more so in the Buddhist scriptures you copied?"
The old man was a little confused.
Li Xiuyuan sat down, poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it in one gulp, then he smiled thoughtfully while cleaning the residue in the teapot.
I thought that this Qingfeng was an interesting guy. He was not afraid of bandits and could see the sword energy in Buddhist scriptures.
All that's missing now is a sign of compassion.
After thinking for a while, he boiled water and said to the old man: "How can a sword be used freely in the pure place of the Buddhist hall? I put it in the pavilion just for future people who are destined to do so."
After saying that, he touched the crow's head and smiled: "What about you?"
When the crow heard this, he turned his head away in anger and shouted, "The crow is too stupid to see."
Li Xiuyuan was not angry, but smiled lightly and said: "It's okay, you can change your form first, learn how to be a human being, and then see that touch of sword intent."
The old man agreed upon hearing this, looked at the crow and asked, "Are you in trouble?"
Crow shook his head, saying don't tempt me, I won't be fooled.
After a while, he smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I haven't had enough fun yet. Compared with sword energy, I prefer the feeling of flying in the sky."
Li Xiuyuan had long expected that it would make such a choice, and he laughed angrily and cursed: "It's worthless."
Now his only thought is not about the crow, but he wants to see if Xiaodie'er, after transforming into a dragon, will transform into an arm first, or will she complete all the evolutions overnight?
After all, he was transforming into a dragon with Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai in the secret realm of Wolong Mountain outside Dingwai City, in the Dragon Transformation Pond left by his master.
And where did the Hualong Pond come from in this world? Xiaodieer had no one to accompany her to the Shenlong Continent.
Besides, given the grievances he had with Shenlong Continent, even the master and Xiao Bai probably left Shenlong Valley and went to the sea to look for Chu Feng's master.
If Xiao Die'er turns into a dragon in one day, will she fly into the sky?
However, this idea was rejected by him in a blink of an eye. If the heaven in this world also banned flying, I'm afraid Xiaodie'er really wouldn't be able to fly as freely as a crow.
The old man smiled when he saw Li Xiuyuan and told him that the villagers at the foot of the mountain were coming to thank him.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and murmured to himself: "Even I am becoming more and more confused about the concept of killing and redemption. I hope Qingfeng can have a compassionate heart."
He didn't say the rest, believing that the old man could understand what he was thinking.
The old man nodded and said seriously: "Now both what should come and what shouldn't come have come. Next time it will be the leader's turn to come in person."
"She, I hope this day comes sooner."
Li Xiuyuan replied quietly: "Anyway, she has the final say in this world at least in the Imperial City. I also want to settle the cause and effect of this world with her."
The old man sighed and thought that he couldn't seem to be of much help. At most, he could only bear witness to Helian Mingyue about some of the things that had happened.
When it was time for lunch, Qingfeng and Helian Ruoxue did not return to the living room, which made Jiao feel incredible.
Li Xiuyuan naturally ignored these two idiots. After lunch, he asked Jiao to fill two bowls and send them to the pavilion.
The old man asked about how the things were distributed last night. Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and looked at the crow and asked, "What do you think?"
The crow curled its beak, how could it dare to reach out?
He had no choice but to say: "Junior sister Jiao and Qingfeng are two poor people. It's not easy for the princess to come out. Let's give some to the three of them. Senior sister and I don't want it."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, thinking that this greedy little guy suddenly stopped being greedy for money. This was also an incredible thing.
After a faint smile, Li Xiuyuan replied: "Just do as Crow said, senior, keep the money first. The temple will still have to operate after we leave. The people at the foot of the mountain have a reason for their difficulties."
The crow breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it seemed that he still understood the master's thoughts. Fortunately, he was not greedy, otherwise he would have been scolded again.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved after distributing these things.
Just thinking about Helian Ruoxue, she couldn't help but ask: "This is a temple. If Qingfeng wants to practice here in the future, the princess can't always stay here, right?"
"This is troublesome for Isshu."
Li Xiuyuan scratched his head, released his consciousness, looked at the two people in the pavilion, and felt dazed in his heart.
I don't know how much time passed before he murmured to himself: "If that woman wants to come here, let her take the princess home first. As for what will happen next, I don't know."
Not to mention the current Helian Ruoxue, Wuxin was his nephew back then. In the end, he had no idea about Wuxin's comings and goings and his life and death decision.
Until I accidentally met Jasmine.
