Li Xiudao: "Since that day when you decided to abandon demons and practice Taoism, you have been doing a good job, but you are still doubtful in your heart."
Li Ruocheng thought for a moment and then said: "Yes, when I was in a bad mood before, someone would hand me the whip, axe, and awl I wanted without me having to say anything, and they would strip the prisoner of his clothes." Send them to me, let me whip them, chop them with me, pick their muscles and flesh; when I am injured, I will use my magic power to suck people's souls, swallow their blood and bones, and finally drain their true energy, regardless of whether I No matter how serious the injury was, it could take as long as five days or as little as half a day, and I would be able to recover as before immediately, and maybe even make progress!"
Li Xiu sighed: "So you have been injured in the past few days, and it has not improved for a long time. Your recovery is slower, and you are almost out of breath!"
"Yes, I don't want to lie to you about this!" Li Ruocheng said honestly.
Li Xiu smiled instead and said: "This is the most interesting thing about cultivation. It's not just you. Everyone's thoughts are the same as yours. On the road of cultivation, I think the nature of the human heart is not divided into good and evil. I I can’t teach you how to do it. I think the best way is to communicate. How to communicate? Just two words, visualization!”
Li Ruocheng was surprised: "Is it that simple?"
Li Xiudao: "The Greatest Way, if you think you have killed enough people, it is because you still have good thoughts in your heart, which leads to your inability to concentrate and wisdom. There is no essential distinction between gods and demons. The methods of cultivation are the same. The reason why you The reason why you gave up on the devil's path is actually because you didn't kill enough people at that time, and this is also true."
Li Ruocheng thought for a longer time this time, and Li Xiu didn't bother her. The weather was good today. They walked slowly to the river. Li Xiu didn't have any skills now. He was just like ordinary people. He walked a lot and his breathing was a little short. But he didn't have any negative emotions and didn't feel that he had done anything. What's wrong with an ordinary person? He breathed the fresh air and felt the heat of the warm sun. Unlike yesterday, the wind was stronger today, making their clothes flutter. Li Xiu walked with his hands behind his back because he was tired. , gradually his back became less straight and looked like a hunchback. Li Xiu had completely integrated into the ordinary.
There were no words to speak the whole way.
Until this time, Li Ruocheng, who was still radiant, raised his head and said, "I seem to understand!"
Li Xiudao: "As long as you understand, let's go back!"
"Go back?" Li Ruocheng said: "But... what I just wanted to say to you doesn't seem to be this. What I want to tell you is about the Fengxian Tower. I forgot to disguise myself when I went out. She recognized him."
"Oh? Are you familiar with each other?" Li Xiu asked.
Li Ruocheng said: "The Fengxian Tower is a branch of the Red Lotus Sect. The leader of the altar is called Ling Yuechan. He is responsible for the intelligence coming from far and near. Before I was sent to serve as the deputy commander in the General's Mansion, I was in the capital and She does the same job!" At this point, her voice gradually weakened and she lowered her head. After all, this kind of thing was not glorious. When she really wanted to say it, she found it difficult to say it.
"Oh, that's it." Li Xiu sighed, and then said seriously: "Hey, sister, why did you forget so quickly what I just said about 'jue Zheng Jing'? If you and I practice cultivation, we may live hundreds of years in the future. Let some things pass in the past. I can tell you that with my qualifications and understanding, if you don’t work harder on cultivation and always focus on pondering these things, after three or five years, you will be as good as I am in cultivation. It’s really beyond my reach, if I am willing to devote myself to practice now, I might still have a chance to follow in my footsteps!”
When Li Ruocheng heard this, her expression changed drastically, and then her eyes finally stopped looking at Li Xiu and became firm. She has always been a smart woman, and at this moment, she finally understood Li Xiu's good intentions. In fact, Li Xiu had already given her an answer when he said that he would be pure, calm, and wise. But unfortunately, she still couldn't let go of the original thought. past events and became very stupid. It was also from this moment on that the two people truly became like-minded and became a Taoist couple!
In the evening, the old servant Li Zhongcai returned to Deyang and collected all the medicinal materials and poisons that Li Xiu needed. He handed over to Li Xiu in the courtyard. Li Xiu waved his hand and motioned for him to put it aside first, and then asked him to go to the east wing. The tables and benches were moved, and Li Xiu went to the kitchen to serve dishes and get bowls and chopsticks. It turned out that Li Xiu and Li Ruocheng also bought a lot of grain, vegetables, fruits and meat on the way, and stored them in the Space Law Ring, which was enough for half a month.
It has to be said that Li Ruocheng has been living in the world since he was a child, but he is actually good at cooking. After the two came back, they neither practiced nor rushed to heal the withered old man. Li Ruocheng listened to Li Xiu and prepared dinner, so he was busy arranging the kitchen utensils and cleaning the kitchen. Fortunately, everything that should be in the kitchen was there. , there was no shortage of firewood, and then she was washing and picking vegetables, sharpening knives, cooking, cooking, etc., and was so tired that she was sweating profusely; Li Xiu tried to find a way to wake up the withered old man and suppress his injuries. , just let him walk, move, and talk.
When the food was brought to the table, he saw the old servant Li Zhong standing beside him with his hands down. Li Xiu told him not to be formal and sit down to eat together. The old servant Li Zhongcai gratefully agreed. It can be said that he was sitting upright. In his concept, there is no hierarchy between master and servant. How can we eat at the same table if we are different? So I don't feel comfortable anywhere.
"Okay, let me say something before we start eating!" Li Xiu knocked on his chopsticks and saw everyone looking at him, then he said: "From today on, we have a temporary home, and we will be a family from now on. People, from now on we will eat at the same table, have classes in the same class, share the same hatred and support each other, is there any problem?"
Of course, Li Ruocheng had no problem. The old servant Li Zhong nodded dully, but the withered old man scratched the sparse hair on his head and said, "Well...why do we start classes in the same class?"
Li Xiudao: "It's like this. Ruocheng and I discussed it and decided to open up the first and second rooms of the west wing. It can be used as a temporary classroom, or a research room for all of us, and the courtyard is transformed into a martial arts field. Once the formation is set up, everyone can discuss and learn from each other if they have any questions about cultivation or martial arts training. This is a class in the same class."
The wizened old man muttered: "I thought you wanted to teach us how to read and write by shaking your head like a master in the world. You can do whatever you want with these things. There is no need to discuss with me. A poor person will die anyway. , eat your food, live in your house, and ask you to treat me, what can I say? But when it comes to this practice experience, among those sitting here, I say second, who dares to say first?"
"I'm afraid not necessarily!" The old servant Li Zhong did not agree with this point and retorted seriously. He was also a reincarnation and had the experience of being a human being in two lives, so he was qualified to refute it.
"Oh, you old boy, you're just a half-baked late stage Jindan, but you dare to dance in front of your Lord Tiger. Believe it or not, I'll suppress you with my hands!" The wizened old man puffed his beard and glared.
"I don't believe this." Old servant Li Zhong said: "You can't beat me now!"
When the wizened old man heard this, what would he do? He immediately turned his back, rolled up his sleeves, and didn't know where he got the strength to jump two meters away, saying, "Do you dare to compete?"
The old servant Li Zhong did not speak, but glanced at Li Xiu.
Li Xiudao: "Brother Taoist, it's fun, you can't use your true energy now, how can you fight with others?"
The wizened old man said: "Don't talk nonsense, I can beat him down even if I don't use my true energy."
The old servant Li Zhong said: "If you don't use your true energy, I won't control your true energy either." After saying that, he looked at Li Xiu again. This time, Li Xiu pretended not to see it and only focused on eating.
Seeing this, Li Ruocheng on the side had no choice but to say: "Since we are eating at the same table and starting classes in the same class, it seems that we don't have to wait until there is a classroom and a martial arts field before we can compete. Then we have lost our original intention. I think you guys How about we learn from each other and stop at the click of a button?”
"I think it will work!" the wizened old man said with a provocative face.
After hearing Li Ruocheng's words, the old servant Li Zhong no longer hesitated, left the dining table, and stood face to face with the withered old man.
"Old boy, watch out!" The wizened old man shouted and punched towards the opponent's door. He was seriously injured, his energy and blood were weak, and his spirit was even more depressed. With such a punch, the old servant could Li Zhong's current state was full of vitality. What's the harm in standing there and letting him hit him? But now he can't mobilize his true energy. The competition is about fists, kicks and moves. If his face is hit, it will be ugly. He doesn't care whether the opponent is seriously injured or not. He steps out and hits with a jab. Under normal circumstances, if two fists collide, even if they compare with physical strength, this punch is enough. The one with weak energy is weak!
Who would have expected that the wizened old man would move sideways without changing his boxing technique, but instead bypassed the opponent and side-swiped the opponent's face. How could the old servant Li Zhong not expect the back move? He had already prepared for it. It was also a side step and a jab, but this time he realized something was wrong. The wizened old man's punch miraculously disappeared. Before he could recover, the punch did not disappear. With a snap, the old man's fist turned into a slap, and he slapped the old servant Li Zhong hard on the ear!
The old servant Li Zhong was stunned on the spot, and both Li Xiu and Li Ruocheng were stunned. It's not that Li Zhong was slapped on the ear, but that this boxing technique is really exquisite. Li Ruocheng is still thinking about it. Although Li Xiu can see the mystery, he can only understand it, which means that even if he speaks After telling the truth, the old servant Li Zhong couldn't escape and would still be hit.
"Are you convinced?" the wizened old man shouted.
"Not convinced! Come again!"
"Snapped!"
"Are you convinced?"
"Not convinced!
"Snapped!"
…
Next, the old servant Li Zhong received more than a dozen scratches on his ears, but there was no way to crack the same trick. Finally!
"Are you convinced?" the wizened old man asked again.
"What kind of boxing is this?" the old servant Li Zhong asked.
"Flower Fist!"
"what for?"
"The flowers bloom and fade. It seems slow, but it is extremely slow, so slow that you can hardly notice it. Once you understand the word "slow", it is an extremely fast boxing technique!"
"Good boxing skills, I lost!"
Everyone had a great time eating this meal. The one who was beaten gave up and seemed to want to decide whether to win or lose over the meal. How could the one who beat him be willing to lag behind? So Li Ruocheng and Li Xiu broke up in the middle of the game. The two were still fighting. After all the vegetables and two buckets of rice were eaten, the withered old man put down his bowl, patted his butt and left. The old servant Li Zhong had no choice but to return. You have to stay to clean up the mess, clean the kitchen utensils, organize the kitchen, etc. Li Xiu and Li Ruocheng entered the Galaxy Map, and it was time to have a chat with Widow Wang and her family. The result was that Wang Shuang and Yang Bushi both worshiped Li Xiu as their disciples, and Li Ruocheng went to the east wing in person Two rooms were arranged for Widow Wang, her youngest son, and two disciples to stay. The family was filled with gratitude.
