As expected by Li Ye, before the last snowstorm ended, neither Nangong Ruyu nor Xia Wutong could train Zhan Xue to the basic level.

However, the two of them have mastered the method, and only the two of them are left to practice slowly and hard.

And Li Ye unexpectedly discovered that even though he didn't practice hard, he could actually chop off three snowflakes with one sword using Ruoshui Sword, which made him secretly happy for several days.

However, he was only happy secretly and did not tell these things in front of a few women.

This year's spring morning, Qingshi Courtyard just invited Qingxu and Jiu Zhi to come over for a reunion. After a lively New Year's Eve, it was only five days before the beginning of spring.

Looking at the melting ice and snow on the roof, Li Ye thought that in a few days, he would have to take Nangong Ruyu back to Prajna Temple. Wuxin was still waiting for him, and the Nangong family was still waiting for Wuxin.

Nangong Feiyan is going to get married eventually, and it is impossible to stay in the Nangong family forever. It is estimated that the Nalan family in Tianshan will not let their descendants become the son-in-law of the Nangong family, right?

In the quiet living room, Jiang Ruoyu and the other three were speechless for a moment.

In the yard, Nangong Ruyu stood on the stone belt and practiced sword practice, with Xiaohua accompanying her.

Among the pear trees in the courtyard, tiny flower buds are already slowly growing. From above the pear trees, the sound of the first chirping of chicks can occasionally be heard, which is very clear.

In the living room, Li Ye was guarding a pot of tea and adding charcoal to the water stove.

"Senior sister and Mr. Tang, please stay here and learn how to refine medicine with the master." Li Ye said quietly while looking at the two of them.

"Maybe my wine-obsessed master will brew more than a dozen tanks of new wine in the spring. You can just learn it together. It's very simple."

As soon as Li Ye thought about the alcoholic's desire to make wine, he couldn't bear to leave.

Tang Qiuyu knew what Li Ye wanted to say, glanced at his apprentice, and replied softly: "That's fine, let Wutong spend more time with his mother, and I will learn how to make wine from the alcoholic senior."

Jiang Ruoyu smiled and shook her head. She knew that Li Ye had something to do when he returned to Prajna Temple. She was silent for a while and sighed softly: "When the imperial master comes back, remember to bring a jar of the wine you brewed last year."

"Yeah." Li Ye smiled and nodded.

He thought to himself, hadn't the jar of wine been divided a long time ago? Even if the people in front of him each had a jar, he would still have a lot left.

When I return to the Imperial City in the Central Region, I will definitely give Nalan Yu and Hua Tian an Urn as gifts. My husband, mistress, and parents will not have much left for me in the end.

After drinking such a taste and remembering that taste, Li Ye will no longer easily taste drunkenness and dreams. He just puts Mumu in the deepest part of his heart and doesn't want to turn her out from time to time and put her in the sun to dry.

That's his secret.

Don't want to share it with others.

"I wonder how long it will take for the national commander to return to Xuantian Temple after leaving." Jiang Ruoyu looked at him and said, "I hope I can have a drink with the national master before leaving."

"It will probably take about twenty days, right? I still have to take Yu'er back to the Nangong Family."

If Wu Xin wanted to go down the mountain, he would have to accompany him back and let Nangong Xuanyuan take a look at Nangong Ruyu who had already built the foundation.

Building a foundation at the age of six is ​​unique among the Nangong family.

Xia Wutong's heart thumped and she didn't dare to look directly into Li Ye's eyes. After a while, she said softly: "Junior brother, does it take so long to go?"

With this faint greeting, the two of them broke through the layer of paper.

Li Ye looked at her and said with a smile: "Yu'er is a playful child, so we can't keep her in the mountains. Besides, her grandfather and aunt are all thinking about her, so I have to take her back to see her."

Xia Wutong looked at him and nodded, but sighed in his heart: "This little girl's luck is too good."

Li Ye seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. Li Ye couldn't help but smile and said, "Senior sister, if you want to go to the Buddhist capital, you can come to Nangong Family with Mr. Tang to find us."

"Can we?" Xia Wutong turned back and looked at Tang Qiuyu.

Tang Qiuyu looked back at Jiang Ruoyu, and then said with a smile: "You can go if you want. After staying in the mountains for a winter, I just happened to go down the mountain to buy some daily necessities and some spring clothes for you.

"Do you want mother?" Xia Wutong seemed a little worried, looking at Jiang Ruoyu and asked: "Do you want to bring some clothes and shoes for mother?"

"You can bring some food back, but there is no need for clothes. We are going to survive the tribulation, not to enjoy the mountains and rivers. I have already prepared the things I need to prepare."

She explained carefully, not wanting to worry her daughter.

I wonder if that mother could bear to leave her daughter for a few more days when she saw that she was about to leave?

But for the sake of her daughter's happiness, Jiang Ruoyu gave up her right to be a mother. She wanted her daughter to be happier.

Looking at the expressions of the two people, Li Ye finally said: "If it weren't for Yu'er, I would rather stay in the mountain to practice."

I remember that when Mu Mu and Li Hongxiu were there, they would go down the mountain to buy food and supplies whenever they had to go down the mountain. Even my husband would only accompany them to the Buddhist capital once in a while.

Just thinking that the two women in front of me were different from myself after all, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

...

When Xia Wutong and Tang Qiuyu got up the next day, they found that Li Ye and the others had left the Qingshi courtyard. A pot of porridge was being heated in the kitchen, and a charcoal fire had been lit in the living room.

Tang Qiuyu looked at her and smiled: "This guy just ran away without even saying hello."

Xia Wutong looked at the empty courtyard and the new buds on the pear tree, and said with a faint smile: "I'm afraid junior brother is also a person who doesn't want to face separation."

Tang Qiuyu looked at her and nodded thoughtfully, and said seriously: "He is only leaving temporarily. In ten days and a half, the master will take you down the mountain to visit the Buddhist capital."

In Prajna Temple.

Li Ye took Nangong Ruyu all the way back, sightseeing and enjoying the mountains in a leisurely manner. It was already noon when they returned to the temple, just in time to catch up with the meal in the dining hall.

The three of them had a vegetarian meal in the temple, Xiaohua took Nangong Ruyu back to the courtyard, and Li Ye went to see Minghui.

After lunch, Ming Hui is brewing a pot of tea.

Looking at Li Ye walking in, Minghui poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him and asked: "How is this winter?"

Li Ye picked up the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "What else can I do? There has been some progress in swordsmanship, but the physical training seems to have stopped again."

Ming Hui looked at him and smiled: "You are on the last level, what else do you want?"

Li Ye put down his tea cup, thought of the trivial things in Xuantian Temple, looked at Minghui and said with a smile: "There are more people, it's a bit noisy, it's not as quiet as the temple."

Minghui laughed and said: "Junior brother, you must not think like this. Others can hide themselves in the city, so why can't you?"

Li Ye smiled and said with a faint smile: "So, I am not Dayin yet."

Whether it was in Tianshan Mountain, the Great Buddha Temple, or later the Prajna Temple, Li Ye had always lived alone and practiced quietly. If it was true as Minghui said, he really couldn't do it now.

Minghui pointed to the Buddhist scriptures on the Buddhist altar and said, "You have to copy these Buddhist scriptures quietly, but once you encounter the worldly things, it will mess up your state of mind."

"So I have to go back to the temple to practice and cultivate my mind!" Li Ye looked at him and laughed.

"I don't know much about the Dharma in the world, whether it's Taoism or Buddhism, so I don't bother to tell you more about the truth. When do you plan to take that idiot Wu Xin back to the mountain?"

Ming Hui looked at him and asked seriously.

Li Ye lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then replied: "I have to practice in the temple for ten days and a half, and then I'll tell him when I'm done. I have to go back to the Nangong Family with him to have a look."

"Buddhists practice asceticism. The so-called suffering is actually not suffering, but walking between heaven and earth. However, the more important thing is to understand the warmth and indifference of the human world. You have to tell Wu Xin this truth."

Ming Hui thought for a while and told Li Ye what he wanted to say to Wu Xin. He hoped that through Li Ye's words, he could make this idiot understand that there is not much difference between Buddhism and worldly law.

"Senior Brother, please be merciful. Let's have a good talk with Wu Xin. I hope he can suddenly understand these principles and can practice as well as he can in the Nangong Family after leaving Prajna Temple."

Ming Hui nodded, looked at him and smiled: "If Wu Xin can be like others, his master and I will have to worry less!"

Thinking about what he had been thinking about the past few days, Li Ye looked at Minghui and asked, "Senior brother, I wonder if it is possible to travel from the Tianshan Sword Sect in the Beixuan Region to the Tianshan Mountains in the East Xuan Region?"

"Tianshan Sword Sect? Junior brother, do you want to travel through the entire Tianshan Mountains? Are you crazy?"

Ming Hui looked at him and was shocked, thinking that this was a crazy move that no one had ever tried before.

Li Ye was slightly startled and said with a smile: "Just because no one has tried it in the world, it doesn't mean it can't be done. I want to take Yu'er to try to cross the Tianshan Mountains to find more opportunities."

Minghui looked at him deeply, sighed for a while, and said seriously: "Junior brother, this is a great move for you. If you succeed in this trip, you will become the only legend in the five regions."

"I just want to experience the endless world in my limited life. Yu'er has already built a foundation, which is not much different from me back then... I want to take her to try and conquer this mysterious mountain range.

"

Li Ye replied seriously, feeling that the practitioners in the world are too rigid, why must someone lead the way? Why can't he find a way for himself?

"Buddhism pays attention to enlightenment. Junior brother is a person who has already achieved enlightenment. Senior brother has nothing to teach you. Bring more food with you when you go, so you don't get hungry because you can't find anything to eat in the mountains."

Minghui knew she couldn't convince him, so she could only answer like this.

Li Ye looked at him and said calmly: "I have been practicing hard in Tianshan with my husband since I was a child. What kind of suffering have I never suffered? I will prepare carefully. In fact, when I was in Tianshan, I wanted to go to the top of the mountain to see something.

See."

Li Ye thought of what Lao Yuan said back then, and thought that after ten years, I would always have to take a look.

But before that, he had to take Tang Qiuyu and Xia Wutong to explore Fangcun Mountain.

"There are a lot of medicinal herbs on Fangcun Mountain. Junior brother, you can go to the depths of Fangcun Mountain before going to Tianshan Mountain. Senior brother, I am busy with chores, otherwise I would like to go to Tianshan Mountain with you."

Who wouldn't want to conquer the Tianshan Mountains?

"Senior brother, this is what I have in mind. I will go to the mountains in a few days to see if I can collect some elixirs."

Whether it was his parents and sister, his master Li Hongxiu, or Tang Qiuyu's master and apprentice, they all needed more elixirs. For the sake of his relatives and friends, he would always give it a try.

After drinking two more cups of tea, Minghui raised his head and said with a smile: "I brewed too little wine last year. Taking advantage of the spring, I will brew more this year..."

After tasting it, Ming Hui was thinking about the wine that was drunk and asked Li Ye to finish it for him.

Li Ye was stunned, looked at him and asked: "Since you want it, senior brother, then buy more wine jars and rice, and purchase some medicinal materials, I will pay for it..."

Li Ye is naturally not short of money at the moment. He didn't spend any of the treasures he obtained from unknown places, let alone the gold coins from before.

Minghui looked at him and smiled slightly, but did not answer the question, but slowly added tea to their cups.

Li Ye smiled, knowing that Minghui would solve these problems, so there was no need for him to go down the mountain to do some shopping.

Minghui looked at him and said: "Junior brother will make a list of the needed medicinal materials. I will ask the eunuch who is responsible for purchasing the ingredients to go to the Buddhist capital to buy them. We can start in a few days. By this time next year, we can taste this year's medicine."

new wine.”

Li Ye thought that he would leave Prajna Temple one day. Looking at Minghui, his eyes couldn't help but become warmer and softer, and he said softly: "In that case, let's brew more for senior brother."

Ming Hui was stunned, looked at him and said with a smile, "No trouble?"
Chapter completed!
