The days passed by as Li Ye swept the floor, practiced swordplay, chanted and copied scriptures, and in a blink of an eye it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The mountain breeze on Fangcun Mountain is getting colder and colder, so the temple hall also prepared vegetarian cakes to cope with the situation, and distributed them to the monks practicing in the temple during lunch on this day.

When Li Ye returned to his small courtyard with a few plain cakes in his hands, he saw his husband sitting at the stone table in the courtyard making tea, while Li Hongxiu led Mu Muzai to clean the other two rooms.

.

"Come sit down and have a cup of tea." The gentleman looked up at Li Ye who was staying at the door and said with a smile.

Li Ye's eyes turned red, and he looked at his husband and said, "I haven't seen my husband and my wife for almost two months. Mu Mu, come here. The room is clean, so there is no need to clean it up."

"Oh, the little guy is back from practicing!" Li Hongxiu picked up the corner of his clothes and came out of the room and walked to the table to sit down.

"Brother, you are back. Mumu misses you so much!"

Mu Mu rushed out of the house, lay down behind Li Ye and shouted.

Li Ye put the plain cakes in his hands on the table, took one and handed it to his husband.

He said happily: "Sir, you are here just in time. The brothers in the temple have just made vegetarian cakes for everyone to celebrate the festival. You should try it too."

"Mumu has been hungry for a long time after walking on the mountain road for a long time. She just happened to have some vegetarian cakes to fill her stomach."

Mu Mu slipped down from behind Li Ye, sat down next to him, and reached for the plain cake on the table.

Li Hongxiu reached out and slapped her little hand and said, "Wash your hands first before eating. The basin has already been filled with water."

Mu Mu made a face, turned around and washed her hands.

She still had to listen to what Li Hongxiu said.

The gentleman carried a pot and poured tea for everyone. He looked at Li Ye and said, "Mumu is always clamoring to come to you. I thought that practicing is everywhere, so I brought her to see you. Your master wife plans to be here.

Stay here for a few days and then go back to Xuantian Temple on the north slope after it snows."

After washing her hands, Mu Mu sat down next to Li Ye, and Li Ye took a piece of plain cake and handed it to her.

Looking at Mr. and Li Hongxiu, he said: "Sir, it would be best if I could live here for a few days. On weekdays, I am the only disciple who lives here. It is really quiet."

Li Hongxiu also took a piece of plain cake, put it in her mouth and took a bite.

Looking at Li Ye, he said: "I think your place is not quiet but too deserted! If Mu Mu hadn't been so noisy, I wouldn't have wanted to come here... This vegetarian cake is pretty good, hurry up and catch up with Xuantian Guan to make it

It’s cake.”

"Brother, my wife also brought you a lot of cakes, all made by the senior brothers and sisters of Xuantianguan!" Mu Mu said while eating.

Li Ye looked at Mu Mu's eating appearance, sighed, got up and went into the room to get a box of peach blossom cakes given to him by Hua Tianxia, ​​opened it carefully and put it on the table.

Touching Mu Mu's hair, he said: "Last time, there were about ten boxes of peach blossom cakes given to me by Hua Louzhu. I didn't eat them all but kept them. During the days when you live here, you can take them yourself if you want to eat them. I'll keep them all in the house."

It’s in the cupboard inside.”

"Wow, there are actually peach blossom cakes to eat, Mu Mu is so lucky!"

Mu Mu screamed strangely, picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Li Hongxiu, then handed a piece to the husband, and then picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Looking at Mu Mu's eating appearance, Li Ye couldn't help but sigh.

Said: "Mumu, you are a girl, can you be a little cute? There is no one here to compete with you, why are you so anxious?"

Li Hongxiu couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at Mu Mu, he said: "I have talked to my husband about her a lot because of this. This little guy only cares about eating and not playing. He will do it again after talking about it this time. He happens to be staying at your place for a few days. This discipline

She will teach you her mission!"

The gentleman looked at Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu, smiled and said nothing, put down the tea cup in his hand, and put the pastry in his hand into his mouth.

He chewed slowly, and after a while, he looked at Li Ye opposite and said, "I have been practicing in Prajna Temple for two months. Have you made any progress?"

Li Ye lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Yes, and no. Some are that the state of mind has been improved, and almost all the problems that could not be understood before have been figured out. What is not is that the sixth level of the formless body is like a mountain,

Standing there, I feel so pressured that I can't breathe, but I can't always get over it."

The teacher nodded and said calmly: "If this technique is easy to practice, no one in Prajna Temple will spend their whole life practicing hard! Fortunately, you have already reached the sixth level. As long as you practice with water mill, you may be able to practice it.

success."

"I have already reached perfection in my practice. It is estimated that I will be able to practice it to perfection in the winter or next spring at the latest. Then I can ask Senior Brother Minghui for the seventh-level skills."

Li Ye took out his handkerchief and gently wiped away the cake stuck to the corner of Mumu's mouth.

"So soon? It seems that you don't have to stay in Prajna Temple for ten years. It's okay. I'll take you to make swords next spring. It's almost time to make an epee for you. There happens to be an opportunity on the mountain...

....”

The gentleman thought for a while and said.

"Mu Mu also wants to forge a sword, and Master Wife also wants a long sword." Mu Mu leaned next to Li Ye and looked at her husband and said.

Li Hongxiu glared at her and said: "You little brat, why are you joining in the fun? Don't you have a powerful sword yourself? Don't worry about my sword. Of course it's good if you have the chance. If you don't have the chance, don't force it."

Li Hongxiu didn't want to cause trouble to her man.

"Is there a swordsmith on Fangcun Mountain?" Li Ye looked at the gentleman with some surprise.

"Fangcun Mountain is a magical place. You will slowly discover it in the future. Now you just need to practice hard and don't think about anything else."

The gentleman pointed to the tea stove where the fire was getting smaller and said calmly.

Li Ye was stunned, and quickly went to the woodshed in the kitchen to find some charcoal, and added two pieces to the stove.

Looking at the fire that was getting stronger, he smiled and said, "As long as Mr. and Mistress are here, I won't be in a hurry."

Mu Mu's little hand that was reaching for the peach blossom cake on the table stopped for a moment, turned to look at Li Ye and said, "The most important thing is that Mu Mu is also here, brother, don't forget it!"

Mu Mu frowned and looked up at Li Ye, with a look of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Li Ye was stunned, then smiled and patted her shoulder, saying: "Mumu is my treasure. I promised Master Bai on Tianshan Mountain to take good care of you. Unless you don't want your brother anymore, follow Xiaoqing back to you."

Go to mother's side..."

He was right, he had always loved Mumu since he met her on Tianshan Mountain.

Even though we were separated for a year, there was nothing we could do about it.

However, neither of them thought of one thing: whether this relationship was between brothers and sisters, or whether there was an inexplicable vague feeling between men and women.

Until many years later, when Mu Mu asked about Li Ye, Li Ye still had an expression on his face that I didn't know at the time.

Li Hongxiu looked at the expressions of the two of them and didn't take them seriously.

He just looked at Li Ye and said: "I went to the Buddhist capital with Mu Mu a few days ago and bought a lot of oil and rice. I put them in the room I packed. It will be enough for you to eat for a long time.

Already."

Li Ye looked at her and nodded.

"It's just that you have to abide by the precepts when practicing in the temple. Don't prepare dried meat for you. Fortunately, I brought some with me. I will cook some meat porridge to satisfy your craving in the evening."

The gentleman frowned slightly as he listened to Li Hongxiu's nagging.

Li Ye looked at his husband's appearance and smiled with him.

He replied softly: "The old monk at the Great Buddha Temple said that following all living beings is also a kind of practice, but eating meat and vegetables must have bodhicitta in mind."

Mu Mu and Li Hongxiu did not understand the meaning of Li Ye's words. They just stared at him and their husband without speaking.

The gentleman was stunned for a moment, but then a happy smile appeared on his face.

He picked up the purple clay pot and poured a cup of hot tea for Li Ye, and said with a smile: "Monk Kuchan is right, but my master's practice in Buddhism is not as good as yours."

Mu Mu looked at her husband and laughed, and also pouted and shouted: "Mu Mu and my wife have to eat meat. My brother can eat less while practicing in the temple."

Li Hongxiu rolled her eyes at Mu Mu and said, "You are a little money addict and a foodie, and you also like to snooze! I really don't know how you achieved your state of cultivation."

The teacher glanced at Li Hongxiu and said calmly: "Don't compare Mumu with the children in the Five Realms. There is no comparison." After that, he also poured hot tea for her and Mumu.

Li Ye understood Mu Mu's physical origin, but he didn't say it here. He just reached out and touched Mu Mu's black hair and said, "The more powerful Mu Mu is, the more relieved my brother will be."

Mu Mu liked it best when Li Ye praised her. Before he could finish his words, she took his hand and said, "Yes, yes, wait until Xiaoqing comes back, and then divide the spirit fruit between brother and the master's wife. Maybe the master's wife's

The realm can be improved further."

Li Hongxiu looked at Mu Mu's cute look, then looked at her man, and immediately changed into a sad face.

Said: "I can't reach this level in ten years or eight years! Just like your brother, I have to practice hard..."

Li Ye was stunned, glanced at his husband, then turned to look at Li Hongxiu and touched his head.

He said: "Master, why are you involving me again? My cultivation has been banned by Mr. Jean and the old monk. You know this."

Li Hongxiu sighed, looked at Li Ye, shook his head, and said: "My current experience is not much different from yours. The only difference is that I still have practice, but to break through that threshold, in the words of your husband

Ten or eight years of hard training is just a dream."

The gentleman looked at Li Hongxiu's sad face and couldn't help but laugh.

Knocking on the table, he said: "Ask Tang Qiuyu and ask her how many years she has been stuck in the ninth level of the Nascent Soul. Ask Xu Jingyun, you know her too. Which of these two people has not practiced hard for more than ten or twenty years?"

Is there any chance of breaking through the realm to the point of being distracted? Once you are distracted, the gods and immortals will be separated forever, do you think it’s just cabbage?”

Li Ye listened to what his husband said, nodded, looked at Li Hongxiu and said, "Master, don't be anxious, there is a gentleman watching you, he is more anxious than you."
