Li Ye took a late nap at home. When he got up, the sun had already shone on the tea table in front of the hall.

The parents had already had breakfast, and Ye Zhiqiu was feeding Li Xiaoxue. Li Ye walked up to her and touched her little head and said, "Sister, you must learn to walk when I come back."

Li Xiaoxue looked at her and giggled, shouting in a sweet voice: "Brother...brother."

The husband came over carrying a food box, looked at him and said, "I cooked some vegetables in the kitchen and will take them to the temple later."

Li Ye nodded and asked softly: "Sir, yesterday's formation has been activated?

"It has been activated. Now outsiders can no longer enter. From the outside, Zizhuyuan looks like a fog, just like Tianshan Mountain." The gentleman smiled.

Li Ye turned back to look at Ye Zhiqiu and said: "Mom, while your husband is not at home these days, you, your sister, and your father should not go out. Let Mumu and the others stay at home and wait until your husband comes back from the temple to talk about anything.

"

When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he looked at Li Ye with some concern.

The husband smiled and said: "It's okay, don't let him scare you! It's just best not to go out these days."

...

Agui called a carriage on the street, and Mr. Li Ye got on it. They waved and left Zizhuyuan.

The carriage was no longer as fast as Li Ye's return to the city. It set off at the end of the hour. After half the hour, the master and the disciple arrived outside the mountain gate of the Great Buddha Temple.

The scholar in the small courtyard had already woken up, leaning on the bedside and looking out the window. There was a bowl of freshly boiled medicinal soup on the table, steaming thickly.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of the door lock outside the small courtyard being opened that his frown changed slightly.

The gentleman pushed the door open and walked into the room where he lived. He looked at the scholar leaning on the bed and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for so many years. I never thought you would let someone plot against you."

Li Ye gently closed the door and returned to his room.

For him now, even when he was standing outside the courtyard, he still heard what the scholar said.

The scholar struggled to sit up. The gentleman motioned him not to move and put a hand on his meridians. "Ye'er is right. You did suffer serious internal injuries. Take the medicine first and then explain in detail."

After speaking, he handed the medicine bowl on the table to the scholar.

The two have known each other for many years in the Central Region and worked together in the Imperial City.

Mr. Naoichi was tired of the royal life which was full of cruel and bloody betrayal, so he returned to the Middle East and stayed as the Lord of Xuan Territory for a few years.

It wasn't until he resigned from the Dongxuan Territory Lord's Palace that he finally returned to Fengyun City and lived a peaceful life.

"Why bother with you being the backbone of the royal family's infighting? Your cultivation is not easy either. Have you ever thought about concentrating on your cultivation and leaving the struggle for power? You must know that all this so-called prosperity is just a passing cloud."

The gentleman pressed the medicine bowl that the scholar had finished drinking and said softly.

The scholar shook his head and said: "The emperor and the eldest son are kind to me, and it will have to wait many years before they can leave. Sir, you will enjoy the blessing and leave there early and hide in this small Fengyun City to enjoy life.

"

The husband shook his head and said: "You will only sink deeper and deeper until you die inside."

The scholar sighed and said, "That's why I came to ask for your help."

The husband continued to shake his head. "You can recuperate in Fengyun City, but your affairs and their affairs have nothing to do with me, and I will not interfere anymore."

"What if the eldest son is in trouble after the emperor leaves?" The scholar frowned.

"That will be many years later. He has just survived the eighth calamity. He still has at least ten years. As long as he is here, who would dare to mess around?" The gentleman smiled. Pointing to the food box on the table, he said, "Is it better to eat now?

Eat again later?"

"Wait a minute. Let's talk first!"

"How did you cultivate, after so many years, before you broke through to the fifth level." The gentleman frowned slightly.

"I am running around in the imperial city every day, so I have no time to practice. Why did you accept a disciple who has no cultivation skills? Although he is a good person and understands medicine." The scholar looked at the gentleman in confusion.

The master glared at him and said, "The affairs of our master and apprentice have nothing to do with you, so don't ask about it."

"Ye Wuya has hooked up with the Master of Dongfang Palace in Dongxuan Region. He is trying to win over the forces in the four regions for the young master. What do you think?"

The scholar frowned and asked.

"What are you afraid of? Let them do it. The more they do, the better. Do you think that guy is old and confused?" the gentleman replied calmly.

"What if they get together?" The scholar looked at his husband worriedly.

"There is no such thing as a chance! All conspiracies are worth mentioning in the face of absolute power. What's more, the boss now has military power." The gentleman smiled.

The scholar gave a long sigh.

The husband said angrily: "A person who only cares about spiritual practice has sat on the throne. He can neither manage the country nor care about his two sons. He has also caused you to be seriously injured for these stupid things. It seems that I have to say it carefully."

He got it."

The scholar had no choice but to reply: "You also know that the queen left the palace in the early years, and now only that woman is in charge of the harem."

"That's even more outrageous. If a pheasant comes to the palace, the country will be destroyed!" The gentleman slapped the table and chairs angrily.

Li Ye sat in the room for a while, took a look at the sky, walked out, and gently closed the courtyard door. He was waiting in the dining hall to wait in line for dinner.

This was also the first time he had dinner with his senior brothers after coming to the temple to practice.

When we walked outside the Zhaitang door, the monks in the temple were already queuing up outside. The old master monk also walked towards the Zhaitang, and the monk who was playing the banquet was preparing to play the banquet.

Li Ye stepped forward to meet the old monk, stopped him from clasping his hands and said, "Sir, he is already here. He is in my small courtyard."

The old monk nodded, looked at him and said, "Let's go eat first."

Master and disciple, one behind the other, lined up at the back of the team in the dining hall, waiting to eat.

After entering the dining hall, the old monk sat at the front and Li Ye sat in the corner at the back.

It wasn't until all the monks finished their meal that they noticed a young junior brother sitting behind him who could carry three buckets of water.

Li Ye put his hands together to greet the monks.

...

The old monk did not speak to Li Ye after eating and returned to the Buddhist hall by himself.

Li Ye wanted to follow, but after thinking about it, he returned to his small courtyard.

The sound of the gentleman and the scholar eating and picking up vegetables came from the scholar's room.

Li Ye returned to the house, gently closed the door, held his head and fell asleep.

That night, he had a strange dream.

One moment I dreamed that I fell into the cold pool of Tianshan Mountain, the other moment I dreamed that I fell off the cliff with Xiaobai Zhong on my back, and the next moment I dreamed that I was poisoned to death by Li Mingzhu.

Although he knew that he was in a dream, he still felt cold all over, as if there was someone standing next to him whose face he couldn't see clearly. He wanted to open his eyes but couldn't.

He was helpless and groaned in pain.

He reached out and grabbed the Ruoshui Sword and struck the person next to the bed with his sword.

I woke up from my dream, sat blankly on the bedside, took out a silk scarf to wipe the sweat from my forehead, frowned subconsciously, and then fell into deep thought.

Thinking about how she could have this terrifying dream, could it be that Li Mingzhu still refused to let her go?

After a moment of silence, I got out of bed, poured a cup of herbal tea, drank it in one sip, and looked out the window, knowing that it was still early and I had to sleep for a while.

...

A little after half time, Li Ye woke up, put on his monk's robes and pushed out the door. He was going to sweep the floor of the Sutra Pavilion.

After closing the door of the small courtyard, I saw my husband walking in front.

Li Ye took two steps to catch up. "Sir, are you going to see the old monk?"

The gentleman said "hmm".

The master and the disciple separated when they arrived at the Sutra Pavilion. The master went to see the old monk, and Li Ye went to sweep the floor.

After not sweeping for a day, there were indeed a lot more fallen leaves in the yard. Li Ye spent more effort than usual to sweep away the fallen leaves on the ground. Carrying the bamboo basket on his back, he walked towards the burning place.

As Li Ye flicked the fire stick in his hand, smoke gradually rose, and the burning dead leaves danced happily, as if the phoenix about to reach nirvana was dancing gently, singing the last melody of life.

Li Ye murmured: "Die to life, live to death."

Looking at the burning dead leaves, Li Ye smiled. Some were naive and some were stupid. How about Dongxuan Domain Mansion? What about the Imperial City in the Central Region? As long as you don't want to, even God can't change your destiny.

mind.

If you don't have the determination to die, why bother embarking on this arduous practice with no return.

...

Outside Fengyun City, beside the long pavilion.

Parked were a group of guards and a carriage.

Li Mingzhu looked at Ye Wuya who was standing in the pavilion and said, "Are you sure you don't want to go back to Dongyu Mansion with me?"

"I still have something to do, and I would like to find an opportunity to ask Mr. Mo for advice." Ye Wuya replied.

"The master and the disciple are of the same mind. Unless you can persuade him with your ability, why don't you go back with me first and discuss it later." Li Mingzhu frowned. She felt that Ye Wuya still had something to hide from her.

"How can you give up if you don't try?" Ye Wuya laughed darkly.

Li Mingzhu thought for a while and then said: "Then Li Ye drank the tea I brewed, and now he has no power at all. He can no longer pose any threat to the second young master, so let's let him go."

"Don't worry, madam, I won't do anything random." After saying this, Ye Wuya cupped his hands towards Li Mingzhu and said goodbye.

Looking back at Fengyun City, Li Mingzhu let out a long sigh. Although she broke off the engagement this time, she completely offended Mr. Mo.

My younger sister also admitted that she no longer pays attention to this sister, and she is not satisfied with her even after thinking about it.

Get on the carriage and wave to Ye Wuya in the pavilion.

The guard at the pavilion shouted softly, the driver's whip sounded, and a group of people left Fengyun City.

...

"There is no fast food in the temple at night, so I have to cook some porridge by myself." After sweeping the floor, Li Ye returned to the small courtyard and lit the fire in the stove by the woodshed, looking at his husband and saying.

The teacher smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I will take Mr. Chen back to Fengyun City early tomorrow morning. You can practice here in peace."

"Do you want me to prepare some more medicinal herbs?"

"No, I have a lot at home. If I need anything, I'll go find Hu Qingshan."

Li Ye stood under the firewood shed and looked at the gentleman sitting under the eaves. The two were silent for a long time.

Li Ye felt a little weird, pointed to the ajar door and asked, "Um, is Mr. Chen okay?"

The gentleman smiled and said: "The medicine you prepared is very good. I will be cured after returning to the city for a few days."

"Do you want to take Mr. Chen back to Zizhuyuan?" Li Ye asked.

When the husband heard this, he frowned and replied: "How is that possible? I will arrange for him to go to the Medicine Pavilion."

"Well, it's convenient there." Li Ye nodded.

"Yes, no one would have thought that I would put him in the medicine pavilion." The gentleman squinted and looked at the gloomy sky.

"Sir, what happened?" Li Ye asked worriedly.

The husband was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "I'm a little hungry. How long do I need to cook the porridge?"

Li Ye gently stirred the mushroom pieces in the pot and said with a smile: "I can't eat hot porridge in a hurry. It will take another quarter of an hour."

At some point, the scholar was already standing by the door, looking at the teacher and Li Ye with a smile.

The husband glanced at him and said: "Since you are still alive, you must live well. We can save you this time. If you don't know how to cherish your life, they may kill you next time."

The scholar leaned against the door and said softly: "My life is very hard."

The husband smiled, pointed at Li Ye and said, "Is it tougher than him?"

Li Ye was stunned, raised his head and said, "What does it have to do with me?"

The teacher patted the scholar on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you were struck by lightning every time you were born, and you were struck by lightning every time you broke through, you would know how hard his life is!"

The scholar was stunned.

Li Ye glanced at Mr. Li and gently stirred the porridge in the pot.

"Sir, should you sleep here with me at night, or go to the living room in the temple?" Li Ye asked.
