Li Xiuyuan looked at the four of them and said with a smile: "Take a few days off and go pick flowers!"

Hua Tianyu was stunned, looked at him and asked: "Pick flowers?"

Xiao Longer clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Picking flowers is fun, Xiao Longer likes it."

Li Xiuyuan looked at him, shook his head, and said softly: "You didn't know in your dream that spring has arrived, and the apricot flowers all over the mountains and fields are in bloom."

Hua Chenyu's eyes lit up, he looked at him and said with a smile: "I finally have time to appreciate the flowers on your mountain. Do you want us to pick flowers to play with?"

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "There are too many flowers on one tree. I will teach you in two days how to carefully pick them back and make wine."

After saying that, he clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, please put in some work and finish these tasks. We will move the table to the intersection to make tea and slowly wait for the apricot blossoms in this mountain to bloom."

Xiao Qing took Xiao Long'er to wash her face, turned to look at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Didn't Queen Changsun send a lot of cakes? It's just in time to make tea and eat cakes."

Li Xiuyuan looked at Hua Chenyu and smiled: "You have worked hard for a long time, let's relax for two days."

Hua Tianyu nodded and replied: "Before leaving, you need to have a good rest for a few days.

In early spring, Luoxia Mountain is shrouded in thick spring fog, and only the dots of buds break through the heavy fog and bloom quietly in the mountains.

Several peach trees outside the Taoist temple also sprouted new buds, looking like they were about to bloom.

Hua Tianyu, who was sitting at the table waiting for tea, looked at Li Xiuyuan who was making tea quietly and asked: "How many days will it take for the flowers to bloom?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and shook his head and said, "I haven't seen the apricots in this mountain yet. You have to ask Old Man Zhang."

Hua Chenyu smiled and said, "Brother, you have been waiting all winter, do you still care about waiting a few more days?"

The restless Xiao Long'er had already taken Xiao Qing into the mountains to pick the flowers that had just bloomed.

Smelling the aroma of tea, Hua Tianyu looked at Li Xiuyuan and couldn't help but ask: "Where do you want to go in the years to come?"

Li Xiuyuan poured hot tea for the three of them and replied calmly: "Adhere to the supreme way, cultivate boundless Dharma, and ascend to the heavenly path..."

"Uphold the supreme way, cultivate boundless dharma, and ascend to heaven..." Hua Tianyu muttered and repeated it, and then replied thoughtfully: "Interesting, you want to leave this world.

?”

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, pointed to the north, and said quietly: "I want to take Xiaoqing and Xiaolonger to go through the mud of the world."

Hua Tianyu was startled and blurted out: "Do you want me to help you?"

"No need, everything is ready, just waiting for the heavy rain in summer!" Li Xiuyuan said softly.

Neither Hua Tianyu nor Hua Chenyu understood what he said. It was only after the battle between Da Chu and the Silver Moon Kingdom that they realized that Li Xiuyuan on Sunset Cloud Mountain had already anticipated the final outcome of the war.

However, at that time, they were about to face the opening of another huge battlefield.

...

Starting from Jingzhe, we start making wine, and we start picking flowers on February 2nd.

Li Xiuyuan led four people to pick some apricot flowers from each apricot tree, and then brought them back to Guanzhong to make wine. Finally, two days before the spring equinox, twenty-two tanks of apricot flower wine were brewed.

Li Xiuyuan asked Hua Tianyu to take the six cylinders with him when he left. He planned to take the six cylinders to participate in the great battle, leaving the six cylinders for Empress Changsun and putting the remaining four cylinders in the Taoist temple.

Watching Li Xiuyuan divide a large amount of spiritual wine with a wave of his hand, Hua Tianyu said with a smile: "I was tired when I was making wine, but I realized it was too little when I was dividing the wine."

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and shook his head, saying: "Don't be greedy."

Walking to the roadside, looking at a mountain of apricot flowers in full bloom with a strong fragrance, I said gloomily: "After waiting all winter, I finally saw the flowers on this mountain. It's a pity that I can't eat them."

It’s so beautiful... I hate the world.”

After thinking for a long time, Hua Tianyu frowned and asked, "Do you have a reason to go down the mountain?"

Li Xiuyuan said gloomily: "You also know that I have tried to make as few friends as possible, but I still inevitably make people miss me. If I hide next time, I will definitely find a place where no one can find me or disturb me.

"

Hua Tianyu shook his head, thinking, how can a person live in this world and everything goes as he wishes?

"I'm going home with my sister today. If you have anything, you can write to me..." Hua Tianyu frowned as he looked at Zheng.

"No, if I want to trouble you even with such trivial matters, I might as well kill you with a piece of tofu... At worst, just be more cruel in the future."

Li Xiuyuan continued: "You are still thinking about your cultivation with the demon domain disciples, and the group of disciples in the academy who are about to enter the Shura battlefield. Again, if you don't break the void, or offend the academy, don't go and die.

!Believe me."

Hua Tianyu looked at him and asked curiously: "Have you been there before, or do you know the reason behind it?"

"You ask too many questions. Hurry down the mountain and hurry up while the spring is coming. After you leave, I will have to leave here after two days. Actually, I don't want to leave..."

Just here, Hua Chenyu, who had already packed up, came over, looked at Hua Tianyu and said, "Brother, we can go down the mountain."

Li Xiuyuan looked at the two people and said: "The horse is in the village. When you go to get the horse, give them some gold coins. It is not easy for the villagers to live here."

Hua Chenyu looked at him and nodded gently.

Xiao Qing came over, took Xiao Long'er's hand, looked at Hua Chenyu and said, "Sister, walk slowly. Xiao Qing will go and play with you when he is free."

Xiao Long'er waved and said with a smile: "Goodbye, brother and sister, I'm waiting for Xiao Long'er to protect you."

Hua Chenyu sighed, walked over and gently picked up Xiao Longer, and said softly: "Practice well. We will meet again."

Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them quietly and said softly: "The luxuriant clouds and the apricot blossoms are just what I look forward to when I'm out in the spring wilderness. Let's go, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, each of us should cherish it!"

Hua Tianyu came up to him, hugged him tightly and said, "Take care!"

Then he turned around and left, with Hua Chenyu following behind him and heading down the mountain.

"When you encounter difficulties that you cannot overcome, don't forget that you still have a brother in Tianhuang City!"

The person walked far away through the rain of flowers on the mountain, but the voice came from far away, like a gentle flower arrow, passing through Li Xiuyuan's chest heavily.

Xiao Qing quietly looked at the back of Hua Chenyu in the spring mist, with tears rolling in her eyes.

Looking at Li Xiuyuan, he said, "When are we leaving here? Has the war there already begun?"

Li Xiuyuan looked at the vaguely visible backs of the two people and said, "There are many obstacles in the spring, so he will wait for a few days before sending troops, right?"

"Can we get there in time?" Xiao Qing was a little worried about the little fat man.

"If they are not even willing to resist, it is not worth my while to go all the way to help them." Li Xiuyuan said lightly.

Seeing that the two people's backs were no longer visible, Xiao Long'er took Xiao Qing's hand and walked into the Taoist temple. He yawned and said, "Xiao Long'er has to go to sleep for a while."

Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and smiled and said, "Have a good rest for two days. There won't be that much time for you to stay in bed after we set off."

Xiaoqing shook his head and said, "I want to go there early."

Li Xiuyuan turned around, looked at her and asked, "What next?"

Xiao Qing thought about the little fat man coming up the mountain that day, and said with a smile: "Help them repel the enemy, and then come back to practice and wait for me to go with you to the continent where the Shura battlefield is."

"The battlefield is not a battlefield for one person. One more person and one less person will not have much impact! There is no need for you to charge into the battle and chop people with a knife." Li Xiuyuan said quietly.

"Well, if you go there earlier, you can feel at ease earlier and avoid worrying about being here. Don't you think so?" Xiao Qing looked at him and asked in confusion.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "I thought you would have matured a lot after staying in the Demon Realm for two years, but I didn't expect you to still be as innocent and cute as before."

He was stingy and said angrily: "Don't you want to go there?"

"Of course I want to go, but before I go to Dachu, I want to take you to a place you have never been to before. Go back and get some sleep. I also have to think about the next thing."

Li Xiuyuan thought that somewhere, there should be someone waiting for him.

He reached out and tried to catch the looming spring mist. Li Xiuyuan said: "It has nothing to do with this war."

...

After the spring started, Old Man Zhang led the villagers down the mountain to block several intersections with stones. Li Xiuyuan also helped to carve rune formations on the stone walls. In the end, only one safety exit was left in the entire Shura Village.

In the words of the villagers, although it is more troublesome to get in and out, life is much more secure.

Li Xiuyuan was not verbose, and would help solve any village issues. Old man Zhang knew that he was going to take Xiao Qing and Xiao Long'er on a trip, and although he felt reluctant to let go of Xiao Long'er, he didn't say it out loud.

Li Xiuyuan also knew what was on his mind, so he could only run to him helplessly and said: "How can everything go as planned in life? If we keep staying on this mountain to practice, so many people will starve to death sooner or later."

He still had many things to face, and he was very satisfied with being able to live quietly on Luoxia Mountain for a winter.

Old Man Zhang sighed, looked at him and said with a smile: "I understand that life is not going to be what you want it to be. I am very satisfied that I have been able to get to where I am today."

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and shook his head, saying: "You can drink the wine I left here if you want, but the wine is nothing special. There is a lot of money and goods on the mountain, so I can live a more comfortable life. There is no need to practice hard."

Old Man Zhang looked at him and laughed: "I have to keep the second bottle and drink it when you come back. By then, it might be old wine."

Li Xiuyuan thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

He flicked his hand, and an iron bow appeared in his hand. This was the iron bow with dragon tendons that Feng Ruyu gave him on Tianjie Street. It was used to kill killers who had reached the realm of transformation.

He took dozens more talisman arrows and handed them to Old Man Zhang in front of him.

"This is a divine bow and arrow. You can kill anyone when you are distracted! Even under the ninth level of Poisoning the Void, as long as you are hit by this arrow, you will still have to shed several layers of skin if you don't die. You don't need to use it unless it is absolutely necessary!"

Although the old man has reached the second level of distraction, he is still worried. After much deliberation, he can only leave one murder weapon.

Fortunately, I still have a divine dragon bow, so I have no shortage of weapons.

Old Man Zhang trembled, looked at the iron bow and talisman arrows in his hand, and asked: "You gave them to me, what can you do to protect your own life? You will encounter more dangers outside?"

"You don't need to worry about me. Just protect the villages at the foot of the mountain. I'm not a Bodhisattva and I don't have that much power. I can only think of ways to give you more life-saving help."
