Li Ye was startled, opened his eyes, and looked at Tang Qiuyu who was in a daze across from him and the gentleman who was smiling and saying nothing.

Tang Qiuyu looked at her husband, pointed at Li Ye and said, "This child blocked my pine needles with his physical body, and I can't use all my strength. This is unfair."

The gentleman shook his head and said with a smile: "So what? Didn't you see that he closed his eyes to pick up the pine needles from you? But you opened your eyes. Look at the cloak on your body."

The teacher looked at Li Ye and asked with a smile: "Why did you close your eyes when you were fighting with Mr. Tang?"

Li Ye touched his head, thought for a while, and replied calmly: "If I open my eyes, I will definitely not be able to catch all the pine needles. If I can't catch them, why open my eyes?"

The sword move was right there, and the pine needles that Tang Qiuyu flew out were right in front of him. In that case, why bother opening your eyes to see it?

The purpose of the teacher's original sword practice for Li Ye on the stone wall was to make his sword moves flawless. Later, Li Ye understood Ruoshui's sword intention in the mountain torrent, so he could naturally make his sword moves flawless without being splashed by water.

Tang Qiuyu lowered his head and looked at the white cloak on his shoulders. There were a few dark green pine needles stuck on it. Opposite Li Ye's feet were densely packed with pine needles that had been chopped into two pieces.

I couldn't help but be secretly frightened. If Li Ye were in the same state as myself, I would already be seriously injured at this moment.

He let out a long sigh, smiled and cursed: "Okay, you little monster, I give up."

"You dare to fight Mr. Tang who is in the distraction state. You can be considered courageous." Mr. Li Ye looked at him, his words full of praise.

Li Ye lowered his head, looking at the many uncut pine needles under his feet, and shook his head vigorously: "I used my Qi to take advantage of Mr. Tang, but I lost the real fight."

I still have to keep practicing swordsmanship. It is still very dangerous if I really meet a master.

The teacher nodded with satisfaction and looked at his apprentice with a smile. "I am very satisfied with your thinking. What practitioners fear most is self-satisfaction. You must know that your biggest enemy is yourself."

Tang Qiuyu, who had calmed down, looked at Li Ye standing under the cedar and said softly: "You are very good, keep working hard."

She wanted to say that the younger generation she had met were all vulnerable to Li Ye. It was just that she had to stick to her own reserve, so she didn't blurt it out.

He looked up at the infinite spring light outside the cliff and shook his head slowly. He once again felt sad for Su Qingyue's arrogance, and felt sorry for the short-sightedness of Palace Master Dongfang and Li Mingzhu.

The child with a gray-black face in front of her gradually grew taller in her heart, so much so that she had a desire to communicate with his peers.

"Why are you three standing here in a daze? Is there any good scenery?" The old ape turned to the cliff and looked at the three standing there.

He turned around and looked at Li Ye, who was standing under the cedar with a solemn expression on his face, and couldn't help but said: "Little sir, there are uncut pine needles under your feet!"

"Although there are uncut pine needles under my feet, you don't have to say it outright." Li Ye was a little annoyed.

"As for the pine needles that failed to be cut off...I will naturally find a way, and you don't have to look at me with greedy eyes that have never seen a burning knife in a thousand years."

Li Ye took out some of his dissatisfaction on the old ape.

The old ape glanced at him dissatisfied, frowned and said: "I like to stay on this mountain to accompany my children and grandchildren. Otherwise, if I and the old wolf go down the mountain to join the world, how can we not drink Shaodaozi?"

"No meat today!" Li Ye made his final resistance. "Unless you imitate those drunkards down the mountain, you can have a few drinks with just peanuts."

Lao Yuanshan stared into Li Ye's eyes and asked fiercely: "No meat today?"

Li Ye looked back into his eyes and said forcefully: "No meat today."

The old ape waved his arms and shouted in a long voice: "You little guy who is sleeping in the cave, hurry up and come out with me, and go to the mountain to call your ancestors down!"

The husband smiled and looked at the old man and the young man arguing.

...

"Find him, ask him to catch some wild animals, and tell the old ape that I want to drink with Mr. Mo today!" the old ape said, looking at the sleepy Xiaobai.

"He's not on the mountain." Li Ye was digging around.

"He is an old wolf. He is not on the mountain. Besides, Mr. is here today." The old ape looked at Li Ye fiercely.

Xiaobai roared twice, ran down the cliff like a bolt of lightning, and soon came out of the woods.

The husband shook his head and said with emotion: "Is this how you, old and young, usually hone your mental state?"

Tang Qiuyu looked at several people smiling with their mouths pursed, then turned around and got into the shed. She thought that the old ape had come at the right time, so as not to face her husband and Li Ye.

The husband and the old ape walked into the shed one after another. The husband looked at him and said: "The old ape is the senior. Do you want me to teach you the principle of loving the young again?"

Tang Qiuyu pulled Li Ye to sit next to him and asked nervously: "Can you give me a copy of the scriptures you copied?"

Li Ye was startled. There really was no Tang Qiuyu in the five volumes that Li had prepared before. He immediately replied in a low voice: "What I copied was Buddhist scriptures. Does Mr. Tang want to practice Buddhism?"

"Is there any difference between Buddhism and calligraphy?" Tang Qiuyu was stunned.

"Is there no difference between Buddhism and calligraphy?" Li Ye was also startled.

"You brat, Buddhism is calligraphy, and calligraphy is also Buddhism. How is it different from making tea or practicing spiritual practice?" The gentleman glared at him. He learned to play with his mind at a young age.

"Mr. Hui, there is indeed no difference. It is my disciple who is wrong."

Li Ye did not dare to argue with his husband and replied obediently.

Mr. Xindao is also too lenient. He just wants to copy one less scripture.

Tang Qiuyu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, young gentleman. When you come to the Central Region in the future, remember to come to Qingcheng for a stroll."

"Mr. Tang, you're too polite. My three friends still need to be taken care of by you. Please feel free to give Li Ye any instructions you need in the future."

Li Ye thought to himself, Fatty, you three are going to Qingcheng to practice, but you have to bear a big favor on your own.

Mr. warmed the pot, washed the tea, and washed the cups. After a while, the aroma of tea wafted out.

The old ape laughed loudly on the side, patted the stone table gently with his hand, looked at the teacher and said: "You are really a good apprentice. You are willing to share your treasures with others. It is easy to make good friends in this way. I like him like this."

character."

The husband looked up at Li Ye and said nothing, but smiled faintly.

Tang Qiuyu felt two red clouds fly over her face, thinking that she was so shameless as to beg for something from a child.

...

The outside of the wooden house on the mountain was already buzzing with excitement.

Li Hongxiu waited all night without seeing her husband come back, so she began to take a medicinal bath to temper her body. First, Xia Wutong and Xiaoju soaked in the medicinal bath. Xia Wutong could still hold back and gritted his teeth without making a sound.

As soon as Xiaoju entered the bathtub, she screamed in pain and stretched out her hands to crawl out. Li Hongxiu slapped her hard several times with a bamboo stick, and she cried while gritting her teeth and persisted in soaking for two hours.

When it was Tang Chao and Hu Ge's turn, Fatty Tang howled like a slaughtered pig while Hu Ge gritted his teeth like Xia Wutong without making a sound, and soon blood started to flow from the corner of his mouth.

Li Hongxiu looked at Fatty Tang's writing and said, "You are crawling outside. If you dare to reach out, I will slap you."

Fatty Tang was whipped like Xiao Ju, so he naturally became more honest. He looked like he was worse off than dead and didn't dare to say a word while soaking in it.

Li Hongxiu pointed at the four children with a bamboo stick and taught them a lesson: "Don't think that you have endured hardship. You must know that these medicinal materials cannot be bought down the mountain even if you have money. If you discount them, each of you will owe me several hundred gold coins now."

Xia Wutong looked at her and replied: "When I come back later, I will definitely give my sister more gold coins."

Fatty Tang looked at her and howled: "Is it okay if I ask my dad to do it for me? Ouch, it hurts me to death."

The water mist on the medicine bucket dispersed, and Fatty Tang and Hu Ge, who had been soaking for two hours, climbed out of the medicine bucket. Their hair was disheveled, as if they had been chased by vicious dogs from Fengyun City and ran for several streets. They looked miserable.

.

Li Hongxiu showed a look of disgust.

There was a stench all over the beach. Li Hongxiu waved the bamboo stick in his hand and shouted loudly: "Four little things, if you don't rinse the bathtub quickly, look at the water you are soaking in. Even the dogs will stink to death."

.”

Xia Wutong and Xiao Ju took a look at Fatty Tang and Hu Ge. They quickly carried buckets to the cave entrance to fetch water to rinse the bathtub and floor.

Xiaoju looked at Xia Wutong, touched her little face and said, "Sister, have you become so white and tender after taking the medicinal bath?"

Xia Wutong looked at Xiaoju, then at herself, pinched her again, and said, "She is indeed much whiter. Aren't you the same?"

After taking a bath, Fatty Tang and Hu Ge sat slumped on the floor at the door. Xiao Ju came over and pinched his face, and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, I didn't expect that you would become white and fat even after taking a medicinal bath.

"

Li Hongxiu walked up, looked at them, and shouted: "This is a normal behavior after the body is tempered by the medicinal liquid. Don't you know? Get up quickly and run up the mountain."

After he finished speaking, he pulled out the bamboo stick.

Tang Chao and Hu Singing followed behind Xia Wutong and Xiaoju, running up the mountain panting heavily.

The four children ran in front, and Li Hongxiu chased after them, shouting: "Don't let me catch you and beat you. Remember, you have to run three miles before running back. You are not allowed to stop..."

Although they were very tired after running like crazy all the way, the four of them felt much more relaxed than when they climbed up the mountain on the first day.

After returning to the wooden house to rest for a while, Li Hongxiu urged the four children to meditate for luck.

After quenching their bodies in medicinal baths, climbing mountains and running to distribute the medicinal power, and meditating to absorb the medicinal power, the four of them finally made one step further.

Xia Wutong reached the ninth level of foundation building, Tang Chao and Hu Ge broke through Qi gathering, and they finally succeeded in foundation building. Xiaoju also broke through to the ninth level of Qi gathering.

Xia Wutong seemed to have seen the door of Jindan opening to her, and couldn't help but smile on her face.

Xiaoju hugged Xia Wutong and said, "Sister Wutong, I'm about to build the foundation."

Brother Hu looked at his sister and grinned stupidly.

Tang Chao cried out: "Master Li, can you let me make another bucket of potion? I want to surpass my brother Li Ye."

Li Hongxiu Feng's eyes widened and she yelled, "Don't you think this potion costs money? Remember, each of you still owe me a few hundred gold coins."

"This body quenching liquid has the best effect the first time you soak it. After that, it won't have such an obvious effect." Xia Wutong said softly.

"Look at how sensible this child Wutong is. Why don't you three little brats get up quickly and go make a fire to cook something? Do you want to starve me to death? Eat enough and sleep well today, and take a medicinal bath yesterday. It's really not pleasant at all.

Save your worries."

Li Hongxiu dropped the bamboo stick in her hand, put on her skirt, and went into the house to light a fire and make tea.

When the three of them heard this, they were so frightened that they quickly ran into the house.
