The two stayed in the back mountain for five days, and Li Xiuyuan finally gave up his plan to enter the cold pool to temper his body.

He didn't know if his current physical body could carry the ten thousand-year cold pool in the cave. If Nangong Ruyu's mother hadn't taken action last time, he might have died there.

Xiao Hei didn't even dare to go in. He just tested the water and exclaimed in surprise.

Just like Mu Mu, he yelled that my brother wanted me to murder Xiao Hei.

Li Xiuyuan was so angry that he waved his hand and threw him out: "No matter what, I went in twice back then, and you are still an ancient divine bird. You are a bastard."

The elixir on Cun Mountain below them had long lost its appeal to the two of them, but Xiao Hei went to catch a yellow sheep on the mountain.

When the two returned to the Qingshi Courtyard, the autumn pears on the trees were already exuding fragrance.

It has been almost ten days since we returned to Fangcun Mountain, and the honey that Xiao Hei found in the mountain finally came into use.

Li Xiuyuan dug a pit with the goat's internal organs and blood and buried it under the green pear tree.

Looking at Xiao Hei, he said: "With these things, next year's green pears will be even more delicious."

Xiao Hei kept watching Li Xiuyuan pick green pears, add honey to the wine vat and marinate them, while clamoring for hot pot.

Li Geyuan cut two plates of yellow mutton, took out the spices and cooked a pot of thick soup, blanched a few pieces of yellow mutton and put them in Xiao Hei's bowl.

Listening to the howling wind in the mountains, he said angrily: "Xiao Hei, you haven't changed your shape all this time. I've almost become your nanny."

Xiao Hei ate a piece of yellow mutton and let out a cry of comfort.

Then he flapped his golden wings and said, "Brother, just be content. Xiao Hei is a master who can hunt and protect my brother."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at him and said with a smile: "This world doesn't need you to take action. You just need to stay with me and don't go outside to cause trouble."

In the words of an old Taoist priest, every time he takes action, the time he stays here will be reduced.

In other words, every time he takes action, he will age five years, or even ten years...

If he had not completed the cultivation of becoming a mortal here, he would have grown old and probably would have been kicked out of the Five Realms by the Heavenly Dao here.

Thus, the possibility of entering the realm of a holy monk in Xuefeng Mountain is forever lost.

The old Taoist priest was in such a hurry that he even forgot to ask Xiao Hei if he would encounter any trouble if he took action in the Five Realms.

Xiao Hei's thoughts were very simple. After the incident in Shenlong Valley, he just wanted to be with Li Xiuyuan.

At least I don't have to worry about being chased or starved at every turn, and I can still watch the beautiful scenery with my brother.

Thinking about what he had experienced over the years, his reliance on Li Xiuyuan was no different than his master Long Qingfeng.

"This hot pot is so delicious." Xiao Hei praised with satisfaction: "It's better to be with my brother."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't get too happy too early. When I find a place to quiet down, I will have to teach you how to read and write."

After meeting many relatives and friends in the Five Realms, he planned to find a quiet place to live in Chang'an City, without blood and hatred.

Even like the monk Buli from Tongtian River, he turned himself into a mortal.

Gradually forgotten by the friends around him, the turmoil in the five regions was reduced to a life of daily necessities.

"Brother, Xiao Hei is full."

After drinking two glasses of wine, Xiao Hei suddenly remembered something and asked quickly: "Brother, are we going to the temple on the other side of the mountain in a few days?"

When Xiao Hei was bored these days, he walked around Xuantian Temple and even went to Zeng Prajna Temple.

He became quiet now and turned his head, waiting to hear Li Xiuyuan's reply.

"Tomorrow, let's go tomorrow." Li Xiuyuan went to the place where Ouyang Dongli once lived, and found that the wooden house was in disrepair and had collapsed. A sad feeling came to his heart.

It turns out that things change and people change, it really just happens in the blink of an eye.

After thinking for a while, he added: "I may have to stay in Prajna Temple for a long time. The senior brothers in the temple are kind and we are all vegetarians."

Xiao Hei was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said in disbelief: "Brother, do you want to starve Xiao Hei to death?"

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he pointed to the sky and said, "The sky is high and birds can fly. You can eat outside and then come back."

When Xiao Hei heard this, he trembled in pain: "When has Xiao Hei ever eaten raw meat? Brother, you are trying to torture me in a different way."

"You can also become a vegetarian with me?!"

Li Xiuyuan touched the glowing feathers on his head and smiled lightly.

…

Stepping on the autumn wind on the mountain, scaring away countless wild beasts, the two finally arrived outside the mountain gate of Prajna Temple.

It was past noon, and all the monks who had finished their fast had returned to their meditation rooms to rest. There was no such thing as the young monk Wuyou who had been sitting in front of the main hall in a daze in front of the mountain gate.

There is no such thing as the monk Wu Xin who sat beside the lotus pond for three days without moving.

Xiao Hei looked at the solemn treasure temple and did not dare to exclaim loudly. He lay on Li Xiuyuan's shoulders and the two of them walked around the main hall and towards the small courtyard on the back mountain.

Li Xiuyuan planned to tidy up the house where he had lived and then go to the Buddhist hall to meet his senior brother later.

He was timid about being close to his hometown, and Prajna Temple was also his hometown in his dreams.

Looking at the familiar courtyard in front of him, Li Xiuyuan suddenly had the illusion of a monk pushing the moon out of the door. Looking back on the road when he was going back and forth, he saw only the autumn wind, and there was not even half a human figure anywhere.

There is no lock on the door. It must be that the senior brother often has people come to clean the courtyard.

Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan gently pushed open the door of the small courtyard... Looking up, he found that his senior brother Minghui was looking at him and smiling at him under the old tree in the courtyard.

There is a pot of spring water boiling on the stone table. It is obvious that the senior brother has been waiting for me here for a long time.

"Uh...senior brother, I miss you."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Xiuyuan suddenly woke up, stepped forward in a panic and bowed deeply to the ground.

He looked at Minghui and said, "Brother, how do you know I'm back? Are you a god?"

When Minghui heard this, she immediately said angrily: "Didn't you say you missed me in the small courtyard of Xuantian Temple? No, I've been sitting here for countless days, and I didn't expect you to come back after you've had enough fun..."

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, his face suddenly showed a look of shame, and he quickly said to Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei, this is my senior brother Ming Hui, please call someone quickly."

Minghui raised her eyebrows and looked at the crow with golden feathers in front of her. After a moment of hesitation, she asked: "Your brother? How can your brother be a crow?"

"Quack! Senior brother, Xiao Hei was still a dragon before!" Xiao Hei quit and quickly corrected his identity.

Li Xiuyuan touched Xiao Hei's feathers and said bitterly: "Senior brother, it's a long story. My younger brother was the immortal dragon soul in the back mountain of Xuantian Temple..."

After spending a while, Li Xiuyuan briefly introduced Xiao Hei's past and present life.

In front of Senior Brother Minghui, he didn't want to hide everything about Xiao Hei.

Minghui took a breath of air and looked at the crow in front of her in disbelief.

I wonder what kind of courage my junior brother has, actually turning a half-dead dragon soul into a divine dragon, and then evolving into the ancient three-legged golden crow.

This is something that would never happen in the Five Realms.

Li Xiuyuan sorted out his thoughts, looked at Minghui and said, "The way he looks, he is probably imprisoned by my master and can only be released after I leave the Five Realms."

"Your master? Are you talking about Mr. Mo back then?" Minghui asked after thinking about it.

"That's my husband. The husband and his wife have already ascended to the foot of Mount Sumeru."

Li Xiuyuan sighed and replied: "My master is a unique existence in heaven and earth."

He did not elaborate on the old Taoist priest, because even Minghui couldn't understand it.

Xiao Hei glared at him and said, "Brother, it's okay. Xiao Hei is already used to this body. It feels really good to fly in the sky."

What Xiaohei really wants to tell Minghui is, don't look at me like this, I have been to many places in the mountains these days.

"Would you like to sleep? I'll take you to see your room."

Li Xiuyuan reached out and grabbed Xiao Hei and walked to the room while saying: "This is a Buddhist temple, not like Xuantian Temple. Why don't you just sleep seriously for a few days?"

"I'm going to go out to play after a while." Xiao Hei lay on the bed and said eagerly, "Xiao Hei doesn't want to sleep anymore."

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Whatever you want, I want to chat with my senior brother for a while, and you are not allowed to interrupt."

…

Back in the yard, Minghui had already stood up, looked at him and said with a smile: "Let's go, go sit at my place for a while."

Li Xiuyuan turned around and greeted the room: "Xiao Hei, I'm going to sit in senior brother's Buddhist hall, so don't run around."

"Guagua, brother, please don't disturb Xiaohei's sleep."

Xiao Hei was happy to be quiet, but he was worried that he would sneak away to the back hill to play for a while. Who can control me?

Ming Hui turned around and looked at Li Xiuyuan who had closed the door. The corner of her mouth moved slightly, but finally gave up.

Junior Brother has just come back and he doesn't want to tell this troublesome matter yet.

The two returned to the Buddhist hall in Lianghui. Li Xiuyuan picked up the kettle on the table and boiled water. He planned to cook a cold plum tea for his senior brother and tell him the principles of future practice.

Based on the experience of the old monk from Xuefeng Mountain, he wanted his senior brothers to also try to enter the realm of mortal transformation in the Prajna Temple or in the human world of the five realms.

The moment Minghui stood up to light incense and put it in the incense burner, Li Xiuyuan poured two cups of divine spring into the kettle.

He cannot change the rules of the Five Realms of Heaven, but he can give his senior brother a chance to understand the way of Heaven and change his own acquired physique.

Silently, Li Xiuyuan dropped two pieces of spiritual tea into the pot, and waited until the water boiled for the senior brother to try to understand the realm and power of the saint.
