When Xiao Bai and Lao Yuan came in, the meat on the stove was already roasted until it was golden and dripping with oil, and a cup was filled with the roasting knife on the table.

Li Ye only poured a small cup for Xiao Qing. He was afraid that she would get into trouble on the road after drinking, so he poured half a cup for himself and Xiao Bai each.

The old ape looked at Xiaoqing with a smile on his face, as if looking at the burning knife on the table. "The little girl is finally here."

Xiaoqing quickly saluted and said, "I have met my senior. I came here to tell Li Ye the good news. His mother gave birth to a sister for him during the winter solstice a few days ago."

The old ape looked at Li Ye and Xiao Qing in surprise, and after a while he said: "This is good news. Congratulations to the little gentleman on becoming an older brother. It seems that the snow lotus brought by the old wolf has been put to great use."

Li Ye cut a few pieces of the roasted meat and handed them to Lao Yuan, Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai.

Grinning, he said, "Before I went up the mountain, I told my mother that she would give me a younger sister, and that my younger sister would accompany them when I'm not around. I didn't expect that my wish came true."

The old ape raised his glass, coughed twice, and said loudly: "Let's have a drink for your mother and sister...Thank you to the little girl for braving the wind and snow to bring us this good news."

Li Ye and Xiao Qing raised their cups to thank the old ape, and each took a shallow sip.

Only Xiaobai just held the bones and gnawed the meat without making a sound.

In a small corner of the Tianshan Mountains covered by heavy snow, there is wind and snow outside, and there is fire, wine, meat, and enthusiasm in the shed.

Until Li Ye returned here many years later, looking at the empty cave and thinking about the old ape and old wolf who had left, he felt filled with emotion and still missed the snowstorm that winter...

There was wine, meat and laughter.

It’s just that time flies like lightning, old things can only be remembered, and no one can go back to that moment in the past.

Under the eyes of Lao Yuan, Xiao Bai and Reluctant, Xiao Qing took Li Ye's hand out of the shed and stood outside Yaping.

She held Li Ye's hand and whispered: "Remember, take the medicine tonight. You may feel a little uncomfortable. Don't use your zhenqi to resist. As long as you rest quietly for two days, you will be fine."

Li Ye looked at her and said: "Tell Mumu that I want this place to be good, and let her study poetry and etiquette seriously from her mother at the foot of the mountain, instead of running outside in the wild all day long."

Xiaoqing nodded, looked at him and said, "Mumu is doing much better now. She doesn't run to Hongxiu Tower very often. At most, she goes with me to the street to buy some snacks and comes back to satisfy her cravings."

"That's nothing. Doesn't she have gold coins in her hand? Don't feel bad, I will earn them later." Li Ye said with a smile.

Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Mumu is lucky to have met you, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

Li Ye smiled and said something.

"Remember to take the medicine after a while, don't let your husband scold me back!" Xiaoqing warned again and again.

Li Yedian said he knew. At this time, the wind had stopped and only the snowflakes in the sky were falling quietly.

"Fly slowly when you go back, protect yourself, you are not in a hurry. Say hello to the people down the mountain for me!"

Xiaoqing said "Oh", waved her little hands to say goodbye to the three of them, clapped her hands together, turned into a pair of wings, and flew away against the snowflakes flying in the sky.

...

Back in the shed, Li Ye began to clear up the table full of leftovers, thinking about the important things he had to take Rong Dan next, thinking that he was already a master of the fifth heaven, and he would return to the first heaven overnight.

realm.

I thought that in order to stabilize my realm, my husband actually went to great lengths to find the elixir of melting elixir for me.

I also thought that the academy at the foot of the mountain had a cute little sister. I just didn’t know that when she grew up, she would be as weird and quirky as Mu Mu, causing headaches for my parents.

Li Ye waved to the outside of the shed and shouted: "Senior, come in and take a break. After I clean up these messes, I will make a pot of tea and we will have a nice drink."

The old ape walked squarely with his hands behind his back, and Xiaobai followed him helplessly, walking into the shed one after another.

Li Ye sighed in his heart, poured all the leftovers on the table into the iron pot, poured some hot water from the pot and sprinkled it on the table, and carefully wiped away the dripping grease and wine with a towel.

Clean...

Instead of rushing to boil water and make tea, Li Ye wrapped himself in an animal skin and lay down on a bamboo chair.

The old ape followed his appearance, opened another animal skin, and lay down on the chair.

Xiaobai looked at the two of them, roared twice, and ran back to the cave.

These days, after he is full, his favorite thing to do is lie down in the hole and sleep.

Li Ye closed his eyes and his mind had already returned to the academy at the foot of the mountain.

The old ape asked curiously: "Are you really not worried about your parents at the foot of the mountain?"

Li Ye retracted his body into the animal skin and nodded seriously. "There are Mr. and Li Hongxiu at the foot of the mountain, as well as Mu Mu and Xiao Qing. It's not my turn to worry."

...

The old ape also closed his eyes, opened his mouth and spit out the breath of alcohol, and lowered his voice and said: "You are lucky to have many good friends around you who can share these things with you."

Li Ye retracted his head into the animal hide and said softly: "Xiao Qing brought some more wine, you and Lao Lang are in for a treat."

The old ape was very angry and said with a red face: "Do you think that the old wolf and I are the greedy white guys in the cave?"

Li Ye hid in the animal skin and laughed secretly, covering his mouth with his hand and said: "Isn't this because you and Lao Lang like each other? While I'm still here, and while you two haven't overcome the tribulation yet, if you want to drink more, hurry up.

Drink some. Come with me after spring to collect some elixirs, and ask Xiaoqing to take them down the mountain and sell them to you in exchange for wine money."

The old ape gave a heavy hum, thinking that was enough.

In the blink of an eye, I thought that there was something in these words, no matter how I heard them, they had other meanings. I squinted my eyes and asked, "What did you just say? Is this all you need for the drink money?"

Li Ye respectfully replied: "Of course I am poor. The money my family's academy earns is only enough to support a few teachers. My husband doesn't make any money either. And I am practicing on the Tianshan Mountains. Where can I get the money?"

"

Li Ye did not tell Lao Lang that Li Hongxiu opened a restaurant with his mother and the little fat man's father.

The old ape said solemnly: "So that's it. It seems that I have to find some good things with you on the mountain and let the little girl take them to the bottom of the mountain to sell. I will help your parents and buy some good wine for us two old men."

Bring the food."

Li Ye said with a smile: "As long as you understand, you and Lao Lang have been practicing for more than half a year. Do you have any insights on the next time to overcome the tribulation?"

The old ape frowned slightly: "It's that simple. Some practitioners haven't been able to realize it for decades. I asked the old wolf last time and he didn't either. I guess I have to wait for another half a year."

"Then don't be anxious, live quietly, and don't mess up your mood, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss." Li Ye said.

The old ape chuckled and said: "What you said is right. Old Wolf and I think the same way. We just want to spend more time quietly with our children and grandchildren, and then drink up all the wine you brought. We have been practicing for so long.

years, we will not be in a hurry."

Li Ye was stunned. He didn't expect that the old ape would treat his own life and death so lightly. There was really a Buddhist principle of living toward death.

He thought about Bai Susu's story, thinking that when Bai Susu brought Mumu to find him, she had no idea that her husband could help her go to the top of the mountain to overcome the disaster.

All she could think about was that someone could take care of Mumu for her after she left this world. At that time, she should also have the courage to live towards death.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh softly.

Of course, the old ape didn't know Li Ye's mood at this time. He just wanted to stay here and drink tea, meat and wine in the days to come. As for the life and death of overcoming the tribulation, he could only leave it to fate.

For a while, the two of them stopped talking, and silence returned to the shed.

After a while, the old ape's drunken snoring could be heard. Li Ye also seemed extremely tired, and they both fell into a deep sleep.

...

After falling asleep at midnight, Li Ye opened his eyes in confusion.

The sky was dark, the stove was cold, and the old ape sleeping on the bamboo chair had already left.

He took out the fire and lit the rosin, and suddenly there was light in the room.

Rubbing his forehead, he thought that he really didn't have the capacity to drink. Although Shaodaozi had drank many times and only drank half a cup today, it made him sleepy for several hours again.

It seems that from now on when walking in the world, you must not drink alcohol, otherwise you will lose your life one day without knowing it.

Li Ye sat quietly at the table, poured a cup of residual tea from the pot and drank two cups. Holding the burning rosin in his hands, he opened the door and walked towards the cave.

Xiaobai in the cave had already fallen asleep, snoring and whimpering from time to time.

Li Ye sat down cross-legged on the stone platform facing the wall of Poxu Monk, and draped the animal skin Xiangzi beside him on his shoulders.

Thinking about what Li Qing had ordered before leaving, he opened the brocade box in his arms, looked at the light yellow pills, and sighed secretly. The fifth level realm he had worked so hard to cultivate would return to the first level realm.

He stretched out his hand to take out the elixir, put it gently into his mouth, and swallowed it with a little effort...

In an instant, there was a faint bitter taste in his mouth, as if he was in a helpless mood at the moment.

In less than a quarter of an hour, there was a violent reaction in his dantian. Instantly, his face became extremely pale, and there seemed to be fire shooting out of his eyes.

The inch-long black hair stood up, white smoke poured out from the body, and with a "pop", a blood arrow spurted out from the mouth.

After a long while, Li Ye weakly raised his arm, took out the silk scarf from his arms, and wiped away the blood seeping from the corners of his lips.

This pill did not kill him, but it almost killed him.

At this moment, he felt the pain in his whole body's meridians like a knife. The true energy in the twelve meridians and the true energy in the Dantian converged, as if a cruel war was going on.

A smile appeared on Li Ye's face, and even the blood stain on the corner of his lips was smiling. He was very satisfied with the results of this pill in his body.

When I looked inside the Dantian with my spiritual consciousness, I saw that on the round golden elixir, the original five black lines were no longer there and turned into a slightly thicker purple line.

In less than half an hour, he returned from the fifth level of the golden elixir to the first level, which was enough to make him proud. Because when Xiaoqing left, he told him that after taking the elixir, it might take an hour or two to take effect.

.

What makes him proud is that from the time he broke through to the first level of Qi Gathering in his husband's yard, he, a spiritual genius who is said to be born with meridians, has been riding the wind and waves all the way, and in three years, he has broken all the way to the fifth level of the golden elixir.

realm.

Although he is still far away from the gentleman he wants to pursue, his state of mind has become extremely hard, and his state of mind has become extremely solid after taking this Rong Dan Pill.

At this moment, he didn't have to think about how far Mu Mu at the foot of the mountain had reached the golden elixir level of cultivation, nor did he think about whether the young lady thousands of miles away would surpass him in the realm of cultivation.

He felt that he actually had the courage to break his realm and start practicing again, so he should be proud of it.
