There was a piece of barbecue on the fire, which Xiaodieer bought in Lantian Town.
In weather like this, even if you take it all the way to Meishan, the mutton will not smell bad.
Xiaodie'er and the other two were eating meat, while Li Xiuyuan was roasting the bamboo slices in his hands and using a knife to cut out a small sword about an inch long.
After he came back from the Fire Realm, he never stopped. Whenever he had some free time every day, he would cut a few handfuls from time to time.
Xiaodie'er looked at Li Xiuyuan's appearance and couldn't help but ask: "Master, are you cutting it for Xiaodie'er to play with? Or is it for practicing swordsmanship?"
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan replied: "This is what I use. If you want to play with it, you can cut it yourself. After we left Furong Town, how did you practice cutting snow with one sword?"
After leaving Ding'an City, he vowed not to let Xiaodie'er be harmed again.
Although he could protect her while he was there, he knew that Xiaodie and Crow would ultimately have to rely on themselves to protect themselves.
In this world, he still has some debts to repay.
Xiao Die'er seemed to notice something strange about her master, and quickly replied: "Xiao Long'er once chopped off three fallen leaves with one sword in the dragon tower conjured by the Bodhisattva."
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "Not bad."
"Later, when we arrived at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Xiaodie started to practice swordsmanship again. When the master was dreaming a few days ago, Xiaodie could already chop down five or six snowflakes with one sword."
Having said this, Xiao Die'er looked at Crow and smiled and said, "Master, if you don't believe it, you can ask your junior brother. Every time I practice swordplay, my junior brother is watching from the side."
Crow finished eating a piece of barbecue and drank a glass of goat's milk wine, feeling a little warmer.
He shook his head and said, "Master, my sister is indeed better than she was in Furong Town."
When Crow said it was powerful, he only meant the swordsmanship. After all, the two of them were still very weak in cultivation.
Li Xiuyuan finished roasting the bamboo sword in his hand and began to carve runes on it. He looked quietly somewhere in the darkness without any special expression on his face.
It wasn't until Xiao Die'er said that five or six snowflakes had been chopped off that she started to laugh.
"When holding the sword, your hands should be steady and your mind should be calm."
Li Xiuyuan spoke word by word, as if he was telling Xiaodie'er this truth for the first time: "Next winter, you have to cut off ten pieces with one sword, and the year after that, fifteen..."
Sighing softly, the three masters and disciples had experienced a lot, and there was no need to discuss their respective cultivation issues.
He just wanted Xiaodie'er to understand not to be fooled by the little progress in front of her.
When the crow heard this, he thought it was an incredible thing!
Xiao Die'er nodded slightly, because she had seen that the master who came to Lantian Town rarely used iron swords.
A bamboo sword a little over an inch is the master's weapon. Xiao Die'er thought that one day she would be like the master.
Li Xiuyuan seemed to feel Xiaodie'er's emotions and said with a smile: "I can't be proud, because the master on Meishan doesn't even use such a bamboo sword."
proud? If Li Xiuyuan wants to be even slightly proud, he has to be like Yun Tianhong.
Use a thin snowflake to chop down a big tree hundreds of feet or even miles away.
At this time, Li Xiuyuan was suddenly startled because he thought of something. Back then, he shot and killed the high priest on the grassland with an arrow at the head of Nanyun City.
If one day, one of his bamboo arrows can be as powerful as a sword from the sky...
Thinking of this, he could no longer calm down, but said quietly: "Only when you reach that state will you understand that even so, you will still not be satisfied."
Before Xiao Die'er could reply, Crow suddenly fell to the grass with a "plop", and then immediately lay on the ground with a solemn expression on his face.
Xiao Die'er glanced at him and smiled: "Junior brother and master are talking about me, what are you afraid of?"
Crow ignored her, but looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Master, did you hear me?"
"Whoosh!" With a sound, Li Xiuyuan held the small bamboo sword in his hand and slashed it into the air. A thin stream of sword energy was released, instantly cutting through the void.
The sword was so fast that even Xiao Die'er didn't see it clearly.
But Crow was stunned and speechless, because he saw the master cutting out the character "人" in the night fog with the light of the fire.
Before he could see it clearly, the human character changed again and became the character "乂".
The crow's pupils shrank to the extreme, and the feathers on his body couldn't help but stand up at this moment. He stared into the depths of the night, as if the word "幂" from the master was slashed on his body.
So he knew that if he couldn't dodge the sword, then the dark night in front of him would definitely not be dodgeable either.
So he climbed up from the grass, jumped on the rocks next to Xiao Die'er, and continued to eat the barbecue in front of him.
The sword slashed out, which already demonstrated the master's determination. The crow, which took a bite of the meat, smiled and said: "What a big character. Master, can't you wait for me to transform?"
After seeing Heiye's intention clearly, Li Xiuyuan did not show any murderous intention in front of Xiaodie'er, but poured her a cup of freshly brewed tea.
Looking at the two of them, he smiled and said, "It's quite cold in spring. After dinner, I'll drink two cups of hot tea before going to bed."
Xiao Die'er thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't we going to keep vigil?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "You and Crow will stay together for an hour, starting from the ugly time, and go to bed later."
Xiao Die'er made a sound, put down the bones in her hands, stood up and ran to the stream to wash her face and hands, while shouting: "Junior brother, come here, I will help you wash your feathers."
"No, I understand."
Crow shook his head. He had never expected that the murderous intention in his master would disappear completely in an instant, as if it had never appeared before.
So he tried waving his wings and drew a character "人" in the night fog.
Then he chuckled and said: "Master's calligraphy is still beautiful, but my disciple can't do it yet."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and cut out the word "人". He instantly restrained the murderous intention in his heart. Even a vigilant guy like Crow could only catch a glimpse.
After sighing, Li Xiuyuan said: "From now on, follow your senior sister to practice your sword well, and follow the saint to practice with all your life."
Crow nodded, looked at the darkness in the distance, and asked vaguely: "Master, will you stay alone for half the night?"
The knife in Li Xiuyuan's hand did not stop engraving, and he replied calmly: "I have a knife in my hand. I just happened to be cutting some more bamboo swords along the way. You can just sleep and don't worry about me."
The crow smiled. He was full of meat and now he wanted to drink tea.
Let’s wait until we meet the saint to talk about the matter of transformation. If I turn into a little boy on the way, I must not scare my senior sister to death. Could you please master?
This is something he has never been willing to face.
After all, one night on Fushan Mountain, he woke up and turned into a little duck, which frightened him that morning.
Until now, I still haven't caught my breath.
If he transformed halfway and ended up as a three-year-old boy...then would he want to live?
Doesn't it mean that he will need his senior sister to protect him in the next ten years? Think about it, it's better to trouble Master Sage.
Thinking of this, Wu Yao, who had made up his mind, felt much better. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled: "Master, don't worry, I will try not to cause you any trouble in the future."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly: "That will have to wait until you recover to the level of cultivation in Furong Town."
Crow nodded, thinking that was the case. After all, he and his senior sister were so bad at the moment that they couldn't handle the danger at all, and they had to rely on their master to take action.
After appeasing the crow, Li Xiuyuan focused his consciousness on the knife and thin bamboo sword in his hand, but what he was thinking about was the pine needles he played with Mu Mu back then.
A while ago, the sword in my hand changed over and over again, and finally I fell in love with this thin bamboo sword.
After crossing the East China Sea, I finally arrived here. There was no change in my cultivation, but I fell in love with this touch of water-like power between my fingers.
He was even thinking about whether he could recall the Shura Sword from Tianshan one day when he could slash out the flaming sword and the Ruoshui Sword.
Even if he doesn't have this ability, does the master have it?
After washing up, Xiao Die'er came back, glanced around, and said to Crow: "Junior brother, after drinking this cup of tea, go and have a rest."
The crow yawned and murmured to himself: "Master, I will sleep like a dead man for a few days when I get to Meishan."
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep all day if you see how fun it is."
Xiaodie'er chuckled, sat next to Li Xiuyuan, picked up a small bamboo sword and said, "Master, give two to Xiaodie'er."
Li Xiuyuan originally wanted to say that you can't use it now, but when the words came to his lips, his heart softened.
She had no choice but to take three bamboo swords that had been engraved with runes and put them in her hands. She smiled lightly and said, "They are so small, you can use them to pin them in your hair."
Xiaodieer smiled: "It seems so, thank you, master."
...
The night fell and the fog became heavier and heavier.
Li Xiuyuan walked around the tent a few times, frowning slightly, staring at the thick night fog. The knife in his hand had been put away and replaced with an iron bow, and a few bamboo arrows were placed beside the fire.
Even if there is uneasiness and fear at night, so what, he is still here.
He went to the Fire Realm in his dream, and when he came back, he felt something different in his heart.
Not to mention the group of friends from Shura Tianyu who are walking on the Heavenly Road, as well as Xiaodie'er's parents, eldest sister Li Qiu Shui and Guan Qiu Hong, as well as junior sisters and their husbands, they are as picturesque as a poem...
It was the master from Tianyu City, You Ruo from the academy, Feng Ruyu from Yuqiong Pavilion, and a bunch of relatives in Xinghua Valley who made him have to cheer up.
At least, by returning to Meishan, he could ask Yun Tianhong for more advanced sword skills.
Following the old monk, you can try to improve your own Buddhist nirvana.
As for the threats from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, from Loulan, and more wind and rain, just come to yourself.
While he is blind, he can see more people in the world and settle those so-called grievances.
At 1 o'clock, the little butterfly and the crow in the tent were snoring softly, and Li Xiuyuan added some dead branches to the fire.
The eight people not far away were ready to take action.
After clearing things in front of the fire, the Northland Twin Eagles changed from herders' attire into tight-fitting black clothes, looking neat and tidy.
Duguwang looked at the couple and said, "Should we do it together or separately?"
It must be admitted that both bandits and killers reveal their primitive nature in front of their prey, and they all want to gain more benefits.
Although it seems that tonight's prey needs to be shared by the eight of them, there are still some differences in the benefits distributed between those who take action first and those who take action later.
Seeing their prey in front of them, their desire was extremely strong.
It doesn't matter that there are only two monks who don't want to reveal their names. In their opinion, it's okay as long as they eat a bone with six people.
Zhao Jia glanced at his companion Wu Yun. Wu Yun shook his head gently. The meaning was very clear, don't be the first person to die.
Wang Xiaohu looked at the few people and smiled and said: "I said, why don't we rush up and kill that kid together? Anyway, we don't need to capture him alive, we just need his head."
Dugujue glanced at him and said coldly: "We are killers, not bandits. We use our brains when talking and doing things. Otherwise, how will we meet people in the future?"
Wang Xiaohu was stunned and said in a low voice: "In this case, I will go first, you and your wife will follow, and then Brother Dugu..."
