The boat traveled on the Fuchun River for two days and approached Sifang City.

"Would you like to go up and take a look?" The gentleman held the scripture and said to Li Hongxiu who was looking out of the boat.

Li Hongxiu frowned, shook her head gently, and said, "What did you say? How will she face me?"

Li Xian raised his head, held her hand, and said softly: "But she is your sister after all. I can ignore her, and you don't have to consider my position."

Li Hongxiu turned back, her eyes were a little red, she lowered her head and said softly: "But you are my husband after all. We all have our own bottom line as a human being. We can't lose our attitude as a human being just because she is my sister."

The husband sighed and said, "No matter what you choose, I respect you."

Li Hongxiu lowered her head, leaned on her husband's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Let's talk about it later, I won't go now."

The husband hugged her tightly.

...

Li Ye stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the weeping willows on the riverside, taking a deep breath and lowering his eyes slightly.

Put all your energy on the bamboo arrow in your hand, hold the arrow tail with the index finger of your right hand, integrate the power of your consciousness into the world around you, and quietly aim at the willow tree selected in your eyes.

The Fuchun River suddenly rippled slightly. There seemed to be big fish emerging from the bottom of the river, and there seemed to be undercurrents affecting the water flow at the bottom of the boat, causing the merchant ship to sway gently.

Li Ye's left shoulder trembled slightly, as if he was unable to shoot the long-planned arrow.

The gentleman in the cabin looked at his appearance and shouted: "If the interruption continues, there will be chaos. How long do you have to wait?"

Li Ye was startled, and when he loosened his grip, the bamboo arrows on his bow flew out, pointing directly at the willow branch in his eyes.

However, he had only practiced archery for a few days, and because he was mentally disturbed, the bamboo arrow that he expected to hit actually flew past the willow branch, with no result.

Li Ye looked at the bamboo arrow that shot into the air and murmured: "Isn't it true that it still doesn't work?"

The husband stood up and walked out of the cabin, stood beside him, looked at him and said calmly: "How long did it take you to practice swordsmanship?"

Li Ye lowered his head, thought for a while, and said, "It seems to have taken more than half a year, plus the days when Mu Mu helped me practice my sword."

The gentleman nodded, pointed to the willow tree on the shore and said, "How many days did you spend practicing archery?"

When Li Ye heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "This disciple thinks that his physical strength is enough to draw the bow and arrow, so he is a little impatient."

The gentleman frowned, looked at him and said, "You have to know that the archery masters in the military camp have been practicing archery all their lives and have never stopped."

Li Ye raised his head, looked at Mr., and after a moment of silence he said, "I am going to shoot out all the bamboo arrows Mr. bought back, but I will go ashore and buy some more."

The husband looked back at him quietly and said, "What a good idea."

Li Ye laughed, and before his smile bloomed, he listened to the next words of his husband.

"It's a pity that you are still wishful thinking."

Li Ye was surprised and asked: "Why?"

The gentleman frowned, looked at him, and said seriously: "If you can build an arrow path just by laying out hundreds or even thousands of arrows, why didn't I buy you more bamboo arrows in Fenglingdu? Is it missing something?"

Want some money? What an idiot."

The teacher came over, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Use your eyes less and use your brain more. The arrow in your eyes is often not as good as the arrow in your heart."

After saying that, he clasped his hands behind his back and casually walked back to the cabin, sat down against the table, and picked up the scroll of scriptures that he could never finish.

Mu Mu walked out with a bow and arrow, stood next to him, turned sideways, fully drew the bow in her hand, loosened her hand, and a bamboo arrow flew towards the willow on the shore.

"Brother, look, Mu Mu has hit the target!" Mu Mu put down his bow and arrow, patted the novel, pulled his sleeve and shouted with a smile.

Li Ye looked at the bamboo arrow on the willow branch in the distance, turned back to Mu Mu, and said with a smile: "Mu Mu, how did you hit it?"

Mu Mu curled her lips and said with a smile: "I was thinking about the way you knocked the pine needles out of my hand with your eyes closed when you were practicing swordsmanship with me. Didn't my brother forget that?"

Li Ye was stunned and said, "Did you use your spiritual consciousness to aim?"

Mu Mu nodded and said, "Isn't it possible?"

Li Ye stretched out his hand, touched her little head, and said with a smile: "Of course."

Li Ye took a deep breath, filled the boxwood bow, calmly placed the bamboo arrow on the boxwood hardwood bow, loosened the five fingers of his left hand slightly, and focused his consciousness to aim at the willow branch on the shore.

At this time, he thought of the spiritual consciousness that he practiced swordsmanship in the glacier on the Tianshan Mountains, and of the spiritual consciousness that condensed five feet in front of him in the mountain torrent.

"Buzz!" The tight boxwood bow string bounced back, and almost at the same time, his spiritual consciousness flew on the bamboo arrow.

A breeze emerged from between the animal strings on the bow and spread quickly. The bamboo arrow in his hand... flew towards the shore with a "swipe" sound.

There are no traces of bamboo arrows flying on the gently swaying blue waves of the river.

There are no traces of bamboo arrows flying in the willow forest on the other side.

Mu Mu, who was staring at the bamboo arrow, shouted "Wow", then clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Brother is so awesome. As soon as Mu Mu said brother, he shot the branch on the bank."

Li Ye opened his eyes and looked at the willow branch he had locked on. He saw the branches moving with the wind. The difference was that only half of the long willow was swaying gently in the wind, as if he was trying to persuade Li Ye on the boat.

Why did you shoot me if I didn't provoke you?

Li Ye took Mu Mu's little hand, looked at the willow trees in the distance, and smiled softly: "That's it."

"Let's go in and eat some pastries and drink tea. My brother is a little tired from practicing archery." Now that I have found a method, I naturally don't feel anxious anymore. The days are long and there is no rush for time.

Mu Mu put the bow and arrow in her hand on the bow of the boat, took Li Ye's hand and walked into the cabin, shouting as she walked: "Master Mu Mu is a little hungry and wants to eat apricot blossom cake."

Li Hongxiu was stunned and replied: "You greedy little thing, didn't you just eat a plate?"

...

The boat sailed along the river and passed many small towns.

The husband would take Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu ashore to buy some food, and also buy bamboo arrows for Li Ye for him to practice.

It's just that Li Ye didn't get off the boat again. In his words, he must seize the time to practice archery. Maybe he will use this new skill one day.

Boss Xie, who came back from the shore with his husband, looked at Li Ye who was standing on the bow of the boat practicing his sword, and shook his head with emotion.

He said: "Little Master, you are the first young man I have seen who practices archery so hard. In the past, I met gentlemen who took their apprentices on my boat, and they all had the mentality of traveling around the world, eating, drinking and having fun. How can they be like you?"

Practicing like this day and night."

Li Ye looked at him in silence for a moment, then said with a smile: "My level is low, and I have to protect my sister, so I have to practice hard."

Li Hongxiu hugged Mu Mu and jumped onto the boat. She looked at him and said with a smile, "Not only do you have a sister, but you also have a husband and a wife. You have to protect her. You have a heavy responsibility."

Mu Mu tilted her head. She looked at him, thought for a while and said with a smile, "It seems that my brother said at home that he would protect Mu Mu."

The gentleman jumped on the bow of the boat, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Practice hard. When you get to White Jade City, you will know what a genius is and what a fool is."

Li Ye smiled lightly and said: "I am me, why should I compete with the geniuses of Bai Jade City?"

Li Hongxiu, who had already entered the cabin, turned back, looked at him and murmured: "Don't you want to defeat those so-called geniuses in the Central Domain?"

Li Ye turned sideways to draw the bow, cocked an arrow with his right hand, and replied calmly: "I don't want to."

Li Hongxiu was stunned, turned to look at Mr. Li, and pointed at Li Ye.

The husband looked back at Li Ye, smiled faintly, said nothing, pulled Mu Mu to sit down next to him, and took out the food he bought on the shore.

Leaving Fengyun City was the beginning of a new practice for Li Ye, and he had to come.

And I also want to hone my state of mind stronger through this journey.

He only hopes to arrive at Fangcun Mountain as soon as possible, obtain the second half of the "Shadowless Dharmakaya" from Prajna Temple, and strive to practice the technique to perfection within five or even ten years, remove the seal in his Dantian, and re-establish it.

Take the path of spiritual practice.

At this time, whether it was Sifang City in the Eastern Region or White Jade City in the Central Region, the geniuses he encountered in Vientiane City were not opponents he needed to face.

The geniuses in the White Jade City and the geniuses in the Wanxiang City are just like the brothers who passed by Nalan Yu and insisted on being good to him. They are just temporary passers-by on his path of cultivation.

Even if he cultivates the "Formless Dharma Body" to perfection, he still has to go back to Fengyun City to see his parents and sister.

He also needs to bring the Buddhist teachings he asked for back to the old monk in the Great Buddha Temple. How can he have the heart to deal with the geniuses in the five realms?

In his opinion, this is a waste of time.

A waste of time is a waste of life.

Bai Susu, Xiaobai and Lao Yuan are still waiting for them in another world.

After careful calculation, it is not that he "has a long time to come and is not pressed for time." Rather, there are many important people waiting for him on the path of spiritual practice.

Basically, time is very tight and there is not much time for myself to waste.

There is also the young lady on Phoenix Mountain who is still waiting for me. She also wants to go to Qingcheng in the Central Region with her husband to see Little Fatty, Hu Ge and Xiao Ju. Thinking about it, I have a headache.

Even before I entered the world, I already owed a lot of debts.

Mu Mu shouted in the cabin: "Brother, come in, sir, he bought some delicious food."

Li Ye regained his composure and walked towards the cabin with a wooden bow in hand.

"Master, is the scenery in this small town nice?" Li Ye sat down next to Mu Mu and picked up a piece of cake from the table.

Li Hongxiu said displeasedly: "What scenery is there to see here? I stayed on the boat for a few days and even wanted to buy a fish to eat in the town, but I didn't see it!"

"Although there isn't one in this town, there is saury for sale in the town ahead." Boss Xie looked at her and consoled her.

"Therefore, the fish is shaped like a knife and is commonly known as swordfish. The swordfish is narrow and has a long head, which is similar to the phoenix bream, but is larger than the phoenix bream. It is also called the river bream."

"The big one is as long as a foot. The characteristic of this fish is that the meat is delicate and tender, and it melts in the mouth. This fish can only be eaten in April. Once April passes, its silky bones become hard and it cannot be sold at a good price.

Already." The boss introduced with a smile.

This kind of eating method is probably only known by businessmen like Boss Xie who have been walking on the Fuchun River all year round.

Hearing the word "knife fish", the gentleman nodded slightly in agreement and said, "Hongxiu, you are still a little impatient. As long as you have knife fish in your belly, no matter how long the journey is, it will be worth it."

Li Hongxiu looked at Boss Xie, then at her husband, and asked softly: "Is this really true?"

The husband smiled and said: "Mr. Xie said there is, so of course it is."

While eating the cakes, Mu Mu pouted and said, "Master, don't worry, aren't they sold in the town ahead? I'll ask my brother to buy more for you."

Li Hongxiu looked back at her and smiled: "Our Mu Mu is still the best!"

Mu Mu pouted and said, "That's natural. But my brother is not bad either!"
