Chapter 509 The unforgettable past, the invisible beings
As spring passed and autumn came, Li Xiuyuan lived in the small town for five years. When Yelu Mingzhu was about to be eight years old, the master and the apprentice bid farewell to Hong Jie Liu's family and wanted to leave for Fengyun City.
Just after the city wall of Nanyun City was rebuilt, Li Xiuyuan accompanied Nalanyu to Nanyun City and personally activated the magic circle on the city wall.
Yang Kaiyi didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan looked older than him, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Li Xiuyuan did not explain. After a few drinks and helping Yang Kaiyi and others break through several realms, Li Xiuyuan returned to the town with Nalan Yu.
"There is already a huge formation in southern Xinjiang. In the future wars, it will be up to my eldest brother and a few children to lead the army to fight together."
Li Xiuyuan repeatedly emphasized: "Start training now, don't wait until others attack."
Nalan Yu sighed heavily and said: "The hole has been dug, and we are just waiting for them to attack."
At this time, Uncle Liu, the shopkeeper and others were filled with new vitality under the nourishment of the divine spring.
Mrs. Liu and Sister Hong looked more than ten years younger, and the whole family was reluctant to leave Li Xiuyuan and Yelu Mingzhu.
Because when Li Xiuyuan went, he not only took away Yelu Pearl, but also Fu Sheng, Wang Ruyi, Ergou and Xiaolian.
Also leaving with them were Hua Luoyu and Ouyang Dongli, because everyone was going to Tianshan.
In Li Xiuyuan's words: "If you want your children to be well, you should be like Watson and go to Tianshan Mountain to practice for a few years."
Sister Hong and Mrs. Liu thought about it again and again, and finally agreed to let the two little guys go together.
Because of the letter from Yisheng and Yuanfang, the two siblings also went to the Tianshan Sword Sect to learn more advanced swordsmanship.
The old monk took Yelu Mingzhu to live in the temple in the back mountain for some days, and explained some things to her. Finally, the master and the disciple agreed to meet again at the top of Tianshan Mountain.
Even so, Li Xiuyuan still traveled with a large group of people.
There were three adults and five children, so Li Xiuyuan had to charter a merchant ship so that he could slowly wander on the Fuchun River and let several children learn how to shoot archery.
He wanted to teach Yelu Mingzhu and others the skills that his husband taught him back then.
Wang Ruyi went out for the first time, held Fu Sheng's hand, looked at the flowers falling into the rain and asked: "Master, are we going somewhere far away?"
Hua Luoyu looked at her and sighed, and said quietly: "That's right, next time you come back, you will be a big girl."
Yelu Mingzhu thought about her younger brother in the imperial city, looked up at Liexi Town, which was gradually disappearing, took Li Xiuyuan's hand and asked: "Master, where is my brother?"
"He has your Aunt Hua and Uncle Nalan. In a few days, your old master monk will also go to the imperial city."
Li Xiuyuan took six wooden bows and asked Hua Luoyu to distribute them to the five children. He also took out a pile of bamboo arrows and put them on the boat. He looked at Hua Luoyu and smiled.
He said calmly: "This journey is lonely, and the teacher's wife just happens to teach the children how to practice archery."
Hua Luoyu looked at him and sighed, and said quietly: "Are you trying to get rid of me as a shopkeeper? By the way, how did you know that I can shoot arrows?"
Li Xiuyuan pointed at Ouyang Dongli, who was smiling and silent, and said, "Master, if you don't know how to do it, there is still a master."
After thinking for a while, Li Xiuyuan continued: "I plan to live alone in Fengyun City for a few years. My wife can take the children to Tianshan Mountain first, where there are Hu Ge and Watson."
"Tianshan Mountain is so big, where can I find the master and the apprentice?" Hua Luoyu looked at him and screamed.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said with a smile: "I will let Tang Chao and Xiaoju take you up to Tianshan Mountain. If the mountain is lonely, you can also take them down the mountain to have fun."
Ouyang Dongli thought for a while, looked at him and asked, "What do you want to do in Fengyun City?"
In his opinion, Li Xiuyuan's family is far away in Xinghua Valley, and there are only a few friends left in Fengyun City, so there is no need to stay for several years.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and sighed softly and said: "I worked as a teacher in a small town for a time. When I returned to my hometown, I had to go and be a teacher for a few more years..."
After saying that, he smiled faintly and said: "We, master and disciple, may have to cooperate again on Tianshan Mountain to forge a spiritual sword for a few children."
Hua Luoyu refused, looked at him and said with a smile, "I want it too."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said quietly: "I have prepared Master's sword for you. I will give it to you after you learn how to cut snow on Tianshan Mountain."
Hua Luoyu was stunned, looked at him and asked blankly: "The Sword from Beyond the Sky?"
"It's more or less the same. With a few children, Master Wife will have to put more thought into them and treat them as cultivating their minds."
After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he looked at Ouyang Dongli and said with a smile: "Master, when I get to Tianshan Mountain, I will give you a surprise."
Ouyang Dongli took a deep breath and replied seriously: "Don't scare me."
…
The five children were laughing all the way, following Hua Luoyu, and began to learn how to shoot arrows.
To the surprise of Hua Luoyu and Ouyang Dongli, Yelu Mingzhu, who seemed to have the lowest level of cultivation, was actually the fastest and most accurate in practicing archery.
Before the merchant ship docked, Yelu Pearl could shoot an arrow into a willow branch by the Fuchun River.
This is something unbelievable to Hua Luoyu, and even Wang Ruyi and Xiaolian are asking me, Yelu Mingzhu, to teach them.
Yelu Mingzhu shook his head, looked at the two of them and smiled: "Mingzhu doesn't understand either, you have to ask Aunt Hua."
There are only two masters in her heart. One is the old monk who stayed in the small town, and the other is the godfather in front of her.
The reason why she has a little secret in her heart is not that she doesn't want to tell her friends, but the old monk warned her that no one can tell her until she grows up.
Therefore, at present, only the old monk and Li Xiuyuan know about the cultivation of Yelv Pearl.
Ouyang Dongli, who was making tea in the boat, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Is it possible that you want to take them through the Tianshan Mountains and back to the cave where we were?"
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said softly: "I'm afraid the disciples don't have the strength anymore, but the master can take them across the Tianshan Mountains together."
Ouyang Dongli was stunned, looked at him and said: "Without divine fire, how can you make swords for children? Don't look at me, I don't have divine fire either."
"Also, I stopped making swords a long time ago, and I don't have the materials to make swords."
Ouyang Dongli thought about what Li Xiuyuan said before, then counted on his fingers and said: "Including the two people who have gone to Tianshan Mountain, you have to forge a total of seven spiritual swords."
"Only seven, it's okay, I have all the materials."
Li Xiuyuan dropped a handful of spring tea into the pot and said quietly: "Let's talk about it after I get to Tianshan Mountain."
Before going to Tianshan, he just wanted to live quietly in Fengyun City for a few years. He wouldn't even go to Red Sleeve Tower.
Just like his path of cultivation back then, he was either in Chunfeng Academy or back to Zizhuyuan.
The master has gone on the breeze, and when he comes back as a disciple, he will turn into a spring breeze and drizzle to nourish the hearts of the children in Fengyun City.
Ouyang Dongli thought about Minghui who was staying in the back mountain of the town to practice, and couldn't help but smile: "If you hadn't insisted on bringing me here as a teacher, I would have been willing to stay in the town and practice with the monk."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and shook his head, and said quietly: "Master and Master, the path you want to take is different from Brother Minghui, unless you want to enter Buddhism."
When Hua Luoyu heard this, she looked at the two of them and shouted loudly: "Impossible."
As the boat sailed on the river, Li Xiuyuan tried to trace the memories of when he left his hometown.
Only then did he realize that he was just like Mu Mu in southern Xinjiang. As time went by, he gradually forgot every bit of things on the Tianshan Mountains.
Because she was too young, Mu Mu only remembered her elder brother and forgot her master Bai Mumu's appearance in the long river of time.
But the current Li Xiuyuan was just the opposite. He drank countless cups of drunkenness, cooked countless pots of forgetful soup, and drank countless bowls of Po Meng's body.
And those memories after leaving Fengyun City are like a knife, deeply imprinted in his own mind.
It's not like what Master Sa Chi said, after drinking that glass of wine, you can forget certain people and forget certain memories that should not be left in your life.
Looking at Ouyang Dongli and Hua Luoyu in front of him, Li Xiuyuan sighed softly.
He said leisurely: "Master, Master, my only shortcoming is that I have a very good memory and cannot forget some things that should be forgotten."
Hua Luoyu felt a pain in her heart. She looked at him and said, "Aren't you drunk? You might as well drink two more drinks."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, looked at her and shook his head: "Many of my things have been imprisoned by the master, and I can't get them right now."
Ouyang Dongli thought for a while, looked at him and asked, "Can you tell me who your last master was?"
Hua Luoyu thought of the old monk who stayed in the town, and couldn't help but blurted out: "Is it possible that he is even more powerful than the old monk who stayed in the town?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled when he heard this and said: "It's not the right time yet, maybe the master and the master's wife will meet my master in a while, and maybe you don't need his teachings."
In his opinion, Hua Luoyu had already met the old monk, and the old monk had made it very clear to the two of them.
Even if it were his master, the old Taoist priest, he would still be talking about the same principles. With the temper of the old Taoist priest, how could he appear in Fengyun City?
Ouyang Dongli looked at Hua Luoyu's exaggerated expression and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Is it possible that without external help, we don't need to practice?"
Hua Luoyu sighed and said quietly: "If we could set foot on a higher realm earlier, who wouldn't want to?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard this and said softly: "Master's words are wrong. If you keep practicing hard just to break through the situation, you will eventually encounter a mountain that you can't climb. How will you deal with yourself then?"
"Master, of course, I am not returning to the Five Realms with you to break through to the Mahayana realm. Otherwise, you can just stay in Tianluo City and practice slowly."
Li Xiuyuan thought about his master, Taoist Master Qingxu, and Brother Minghui who was practicing in the small town, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"If you want to break through to that realm, the prerequisite is to turn yourself into a mortal. Since you are a mortal, you must feel the joys and sorrows of mortals, and experience the birth, old age, illness and death of mortals..."
Holding a cup of tea, Li Xiuyuan once again told Ouyang Dongli and Hua Luoyu what he had told Senior Brother Minghui.
Finally, he looked at the two of them and said seriously: "My master Xuantianguan, brother Minghui, as well as the master and his wife all want to become such people, so they are too anxious to eat hot tofu!"
In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, the two of them have not experienced as much suffering as Wuxin and Moli, and their compassion is even worse than that of Wuxin.
Not to mention that Wu Xin spent three lifetimes seeing his own past, seeing sentient beings in Kangchuan City, and seeing heaven and earth on Riyue Mountain.
The hope of Hua Luoyu and Ouyang Dongli probably lies in these five children.
He has said this truth many times, and he doesn't want to say it anymore.
Not every seed can germinate, and not every monk who works hard can become a saint. Wherever the way of heaven is, it will be equally fair to everyone.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiuyuan took out the Buddhist scriptures that the old Taoist priest had imprinted in his divine sea and copied them, and quietly handed them to Ouyang Dongli.
He said quietly: "The Dharma of Buddhism is exactly the same as the Dharma of the world. Master, if you encounter something you don't understand, you can read more Buddhist scriptures."
Ouyang Dong held the Buddhist scriptures and sighed: "It seems that I have to come back and have a good chat with that guy Minghui in the end."
