Back at Zhang Liang's house, Xiao Hei hadn't gotten up yet.

The two of them sat in the living room and lit a charcoal fire. Watching the flames gradually burning and jumping, Zhang Liangliang felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing Zhang Liang's uncomfortable and nervous look, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh.

He said to him: "I went out today and forgot to buy some books. I wonder if you have any at home?"

Zhang Liang looked at him and nodded, but did not immediately answer his words.

Instead, he lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then said: "I don't know something. If the person who fell on the street was me, would you come to save me? Is there any way to save me from those guys?"

In his opinion, this mysterious guy might have this ability, because he heard a different meaning from Li Xiuyuan's words.

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said: "Without what if, would you still be on the road of no return for the time being? Where is the book I want?"

Zhang Liang replied: "After you move here, I will have someone send it over. It will be necessary."

On the second day after arriving in this world, Li Xiuyuan saw the cold-bloodedness of the Imperial City, although he had already learned some about it in his teacher's bookstore.

But to really face it is a different feeling.

In his opinion, he had not yet gained a firm foothold, and the Zhang Liang in front of him had not yet embarked on the path of spiritual practice, and was simply not strong enough to stab someone with his sword.

Is it possible that I still have to teach this guy to practice?

Li Xiuyuan decided to review the knowledge he had learned from his teacher before considering whether to help this guy embark on a spiritual journey.

Because he didn't know when he and Xiao Hei would leave this world, just like he did in Loulan City last time.

It's just a thunderbolt that can take Xiao Hei away at any time.

Another thing is that before the assassination incident happened in the street today, Li Xiuyuan could still see a hint of loneliness in Zhang Liang's eyes.

You know, this guy's heart is still attached to the girl in the prime minister's palace.

After thinking again and again, he decided to help this guy get out of the shadow of the prime minister's house first.

After just thinking about it all night, Li Xiuyuan couldn't come up with an effective solution, at least not after he drank three bowls of wine and Xiao Hei shouted that he was going to get drunk again.

He was still looking at Zhang Liang in front of him in a daze.

Finally, when he was about to die drunk on the table, he murmured: "Zhang Liang, don't worry, you still have a good match waiting for you."

…

After drinking countless apricot blossom wines in Wuyu Tianshan, Li Xiuyuan was not as drunk as he was last night.

So he reminded himself that he could not go on like this. He had to clean up his mood, understand the rules of this world, and face the storm in the imperial city.

So, he took Xiao Hei to No. 47, Lane 24, between Jinguanfang and Shiting.

Before the three of them had settled in, the furniture ordered yesterday and the items needed for brewing wine were delivered by a clerk at full speed.

Zhang Liang also bought a lot of items necessary for daily life including firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Looking at the clerks and helpers coming in and out, Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly: "Everything in this yard will be yours from now on. Do you want to learn how to make wine? I can teach you."

Zhang Liang frowned and said, "Don't even think about it, I don't want to be your coolie."

Xiao Hei chose a room with a sunny view by himself, because Li Xiuyuan was going to start teaching him writing and reading.

They were busy until the end, when Xiao Hei shouted that he was very hungry, and Li Xiuyuan stopped packing.

Looking at Zhang Liang who came in with a food box, he smiled and said: "Tomorrow we have to find someone to come over and build a wooden shed and build two big pots."

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "This is all a trivial matter. Eat first. I'm hungry too."

"Xiao Hei, go wash your hands first and then eat."

While talking to Zhang Liang seriously: "Xiao Hei and I owe you a favor, and I will pay it back to you when the time is right, I promise."

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, looked at him and sighed and said: "I don't have many friends in the Imperial City to begin with. We will talk about some things slowly later. There is no rush."

Although Zhang Liang had his own little thoughts, he could tell from Xiao Hei's eyes and Li Xiuyuan's every move that these two brothers would never cheat him.

For people like him, it is a blessing to find a friend who will not deceive him in this troubled world.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head, put vegetables into Xiao Hei's bowl, and said, "Xiao Hei, when brother Zhang Liang finds your husband, I will send you to school with him."

Xiao Hei nodded: "The old monk also said that Xiao Hei should read more books."

Zhang Liang was dumbfounded when he heard this, because he had never even heard of where the monk came from and what his profession was, let alone meeting him.

Could it be that he is a Taoist cultivator in the mountains?

Li Xiuyuan did not expect that Xiao Hei would mention the old monk at this time, and he had to look at Zhang Liang and smile bitterly.

Said: "The old monk is a friend of the old Taoist priest, and they are all my predecessors. You can understand that they are masters who live in the mountains and have never been born."

Xiao Hei seemed to know that he had said the wrong thing, and couldn't help but laugh, holding the bowl and looking at the piece of fat.

Zhang Liang laughed: "It seems that you two also have a story. In this way, you will not be lonely in the future."

Li Xiuyuan nodded, pointed to the pile of bamboo slips on the bookshelf behind him and said, "Let me calm down and read a book first. You and Xiao Hei find an academy to study. You don't have to worry about making money by brewing wine."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but clapped his hands and replied: "Compared with studying, I would rather go into the mountains to practice, at least in the future I can be a knight-errant in the world."

"How lonely a knight is. Even if you want to travel thousands of miles, you have to break through thousands of books first."

Li Xiuyuan looked at the two men and shook his head. From the moment he met Mr. Fengyun City, he couldn't figure out one thing. Why did everyone in the world say that he had to travel thousands of miles and break thousands of books.

It wasn't until he saw the rolls of bamboo slips in front of him that he suddenly understood.

I thought to myself that I was afraid that I would have to break through thousands of books here in the future, but I didn't expect the doubts that had been buried in my heart for decades, and why I didn't even dare to go there.

Just taking a look today, a kind of joy spread in my heart.

It's just that Xiao Hei can't understand this kind of joy, and Zhang Liang can't understand it even more. This can only be his secret joy.

Zhang Liang did not expect that Li Xiuyuan repeatedly insisted that he study first and then think about spiritual practice.

After much deliberation, he had no choice but to do this. Fortunately, he had encountered some circumstances before, so this matter was not a problem for him.

After dinner, Zhang Liang said goodbye and left. He was looking for craftsmen to set up a tent and a stove tomorrow. Wine making was a profitable business, so he would not be careless.

It took half an hour, until the pot of tea was boiled dry, before Li Xiuyuan convinced Xiao Hei not to talk nonsense in the future, let alone do anything.

Seeing the solemn look on his brother's face, Xiao Hei nodded and asked: "Can't brother help Zhang Liang? Do you want Xiao Hei to help him in the future?"

In Xiao Hei's heart, as long as he follows his brother, it won't be his turn to worry about these things.

Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "This is a big matter. You can't interfere with Zhang Liang's affairs for the time being. I have to ask Master to know what to do here next."

In Li Xiuyuan's view, if Xiao Hei doesn't take action carefully, it will definitely cause countless troubles.

Therefore, from now on, he must be responsible for Xiao Hei's words and deeds.

Teach him the rules of how to survive in this world. Indifference is not because the two of them are cold-blooded, but because they have broken the rules in the long river of time.

Xiao Hei thought for a while and said: "If the old Taoist priest were here, he would definitely tell Xiao Hei what he can do."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "Start tomorrow and study first."

The place where I live now has been settled. No matter how heavy the wind and snow is outside, it can't blow into this small world.

After a few days, just like the wine shop in Ding'an City, you can create a formation outside the shop and in the backyard. Even if you go out, you won't be afraid that someone will miss you here.

That night, when Li Xiuyuan closed his eyes, what appeared in front of his eyes was the man in gray who had a sword in his chest yesterday.

The stranger who risked his own life but failed to kill one more person was dragged away like a wild dog by the Forbidden Army. Was he sympathetic or angry at that time?

It turns out that this place is just like the wild wolves in the prehistoric world, living like grass and dying like autumn leaves.

After being silent for a long time, Li Xiuyuan murmured to himself: "Master, will this disciple succeed in overcoming the tribulation or fail? What will happen if I come to this world?"

Xiao Hei had already crawled into his house like a kitten, wrapping himself tightly in an animal blanket and falling into a deep dream.

I just grind my teeth for a while and snore a few times, as if to prove to my brother that I am right next door.

With a buzzing sound, a voice from a distant place finally came from the divine sea.

It was just a sigh that made Li Xiuyuan feel happy, thinking that it was a good thing that the master did not leave him alone.

"Master." Li Xiuyuan just shouted and was speechless.

"Alas." The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said leisurely: "You made some mistakes this time. You should have spent another year to overcome the tribulation..."

"I didn't expect that you would take you and Xiao Hei away because of the power of a star that has never been seen in millions of years. As a result, you will suffer some hardships again."

Even the old Taoist priest did not expect that his precious disciple would be taken away by a sudden starlight when he was going through a catastrophe.

After much deliberation, I can only say that Li Xiuyuan just happened to practice the power of stars, allowing the seven stars in the sky to feel his presence.

"What's going on with my body?" Li Xiuyuan asked, "Or is it that I have completed my mortal transformation and have no nirvana?"

The old Taoist priest sighed again: "There is still one step left before you can transform into a mortal. You have to survive the calamity of karma. Your nirvana has not yet begun, but you were brought here by a starlight..."

The old Taoist priest spent a while and finally made Li Xiuyuan take his reality seriously.

So I had to mutter to myself: "So, the disciple is worse than when he was in the Five Realms? He is between immortals and mortals, and he can't use his spiritual power. Where can I use the power of the stars?"

Finally, I remembered my experience of enlightenment at the Bamboo Peak of Tianyun Mountain, and I thought that since I could be taken away by a starlight, it was natural that the star had successfully entered my body.

Forced by Li Xiuyuan, the old Taoist priest had no choice but to show his cards.
