Li slept until almost midnight before getting up.

After taking out a clean monk's robe from the cabinet and putting it on, he opened the door.

Tang Qiuyu was already sitting under the bodhi tree in the yard basking in the sun, while Xia Wutong sat angrily grinding her teeth.

Li Ye walked forward, looked at her, smiled, and said, "Do you want me to cook?"

Tang Qiuyu looked at him and smiled lightly, and said: "I fried a few vegetables at noon, but I didn't eat much of them. I just put them in a pot to heat them up in the evening. Don't worry. Sit down and chat.

.”

Li Ye sat down next to Tang Qiuyu, looked at the vicious Xia Wutong, and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"

After saying that, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "You win this afternoon, isn't it?"

"You..." Xia Wutong was so angry that he pointed his finger at Li Ye. After thinking for a while, he put it down and said viciously: "How can you compete with others with swords? You can't beat him and then run away."

"Why didn't you run away when you knew you couldn't beat him? Did you stay and wait to die?"

Li Ye reached out to pick up the pot on the table, poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and replied nonchalantly.

Tang Qiuyu looked at him and couldn't help but ask: "Don't you say that men all have dignity and would rather die than surrender?"

When Li Ye heard this, he looked at Tang Qiuyu in surprise and asked, "Does it mean that the dead also have dignity?"

It means that only by surviving first can we talk about these so-called dignity, otherwise we will all be dead.

Just like the water bandits who attacked me on the Fuchun River, they all died in the river. Do you still have dignity?

"You say it as if you have seen dead people. Have you ever killed anyone?" Xia Wutong, who was sitting next to him, looked at him with disgust.

"This is Fangcun Mountain, the place where the Buddha's light shines everywhere." Li Ye didn't look at her and just replied lightly.

"Why are you so smart than women?" Xia Wutong didn't show mercy to them and continued to disgust him.

Li Ye frowned slightly, looked at Xia Wutong, and asked seriously: "Have you ever killed anyone?"

Tang Qiuyu looked at Li Ye's serious look and felt a thump in his heart, thinking that this boy with a sunny face in front of him had already experienced bloodshed at such a young age.

"I have been practicing cultivation on Tianshan Mountain for two years, and I have not even killed a pheasant... After I came down from the mountain, when I was practicing at the Great Buddha Temple, someone attacked me in the back mountain and asked me to kill him. That was my first time.

A killing... On the boat to the Central Region, water bandits attacked us on the Fuchun River, and Mu Mu and I shot them to death with the boxwood bows bought by my husband...

.”

Xia Wutong was stunned, looking at him blankly and speechless.

"On the way to Fangcun Mountain after leaving the Central Territory, five Nascent Soul Realm practitioners ambushed me and asked me and Brother Minghui to kill them all."

Tang Qiuyu looked at him quietly without speaking, waiting for him to continue.

Xia Wutong couldn't help but ask: "You actually...I always thought you were..." He stammered for a long time and didn't finish his sentence.

"...I have only practiced my sword with Mu Mu. So far, sir, I have never taught me any sword moves. My sword is for killing people."

Li Ye thought of the hard training in the torrents and glaciers of the Tianshan Mountains. He didn't know why he had to practice swordsmanship at that time.

Only after I got down the mountain did I realize that swords are not for decoration, but for killing people.

"During my hard training on Tianshan Mountain, I almost died in glaciers and flash floods many times. For me, every stone and branch in the flood is a killer that will kill me."

"Really? It turns out that you have suffered so much before. I didn't expect...I really didn't expect it." Xia Wutong looked at him and murmured.

Li Ye glanced at her, said bitterly twice, and then continued.

"Only if I am crueler and faster than them can I have a chance to survive. And at that time, my husband was not with me..." At this time, Li Ye thought of the old ape and the old wolf who had left.

, and Xiaobai who followed Xiaoqing away...

"So...you have only understood the meaning of the sword, but not the moves?"

Tang Qiuyu looked at Li Ye in shock and murmured.

Li Ye looked at her shocked look, rubbed the back of his head and giggled a few times, looking embarrassed.

He whispered: "Mr. asked me to practice the most basic swordsmanship first. He said that if I practice the simplest swordsmanship to the extreme, then learning sword moves will be as easy as drinking water and eating. It seems that Mr. Tang also followed him on Tianshan Mountain.

I practiced swordplay once..."

Li Ye laughed. He remembered the competition on Tianshan Mountain and the pine needles that were stabbed in Tang Qiuyu's skirt.

Tang Qiuyu also remembered the competition on Tianshan Mountain. Looking at the giggling young man in front of him, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He patted the table and said, "How about we try again?"

Xia Wutong was confused when he heard that his master actually wanted to compete with Li Ye.

I couldn't help feeling anxious, so I opened my mouth and said, "Master, I haven't come up with the result yet."

Tang Qiuyu looked at his good disciple's anxious look and smiled lightly: "You can't beat him, just like he said that swords are for killing people, you haven't even killed a chicken, how can you compete with him?

"

Tang Miaoyu looked at the anxious Xia Wutong and sighed secretly.

The flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand the ravages of wind and rain.

Xia Wutong blushed, lowered her head, pinched the corner of her skirt, feeling a little unhappy.

He murmured: "That's because the master won't take me there. How can I have a chance..."

Xin Dao: I was born in the imperial city since I was a child, and I have been with you since then. I have never crushed an ant to death. How can I face the bloody life and death battle?

Li Ye looked at the master and apprentice in front of him, shook his head speechlessly, and sighed softly.

Tang Qiuyu also shook his head slightly, looked at her and said: "The five regions have been in good condition under the governance of the emperor in these years. Without wars, there would be no bloody life and death battles."

"Not only you, but also many disciples in Qingcheng lack the experience of life and death. It seems that after returning, we need to think about how to change..."

"Although there are no battles in the five regions, there are still armies and bandits. I encountered them on the road. If we had not cultivated, we would have become nothing but meat on their desks."

Li Ye did not agree with Tang Qiuyu's view.

...

The golden sunset shone on the three of them, casting a faint afterglow on them.

Xia Wutong opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

This is Fangcun Mountain, a place blessed by Buddhism. Where can there be killing?

Li Ye got up and went to the kitchen to light a fire to heat vegetables and cook.

After a while, the mountain behind Prajna Temple was shrouded in the dark night.

Putting the food on the table, Li Ye sat down against the table.

Looking at Xia Wutong, who was leaning on the chair with a tired look on his face, he shook his head speechlessly.

He stood up and lit two lanterns in the courtyard, and in an instant the courtyard was filled with light.

Xia Wutong also raised his head with great effort and looked at Li Ye who was serving rice.

"You are lucky to have not experienced the battle of life and death, as you are a spiritual practitioner, because you only need to complete the tasks assigned to you by your master every day."

Li Ye filled a bowl of rice and handed it to her, then glanced at Tang Qiuyu who was silent at the side.

He continued: "It's not as hard as mine. You have to be on guard at all times. Maybe a knife will stab you at some point."

After saying that, he also served Tang Qiuyu a bowl of rice, and then he sat down holding his own bowl and chopsticks.

"How old are you? You have never practiced spiritual practice in the world. How come there are killers targeting you and chasing you everywhere?"

Tang Qiuyu looked at Li Ye very puzzled.

In my life, killers intervene only after those people enter the world and have grudges over money and love.

Listening to Tang Qiuyu's question, Li Ye, who was immersed in eating, suddenly thought: "I have never been in the world, but there are legends about me in the world."

Yixin was slightly proud of himself. He looked up at Tang Qiuyu's questioning eyes and couldn't help but laugh: "I also want to ask the black hand behind the back, where on earth did I hinder him..."

After saying that, he stopped talking and looked at his bowl.

Tang Qiuyu, who was holding the bowl, looked at Li Ye's worried expression, and couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart. She secretly thought something was wrong. Could it be that the second prince in the imperial city was still having trouble with Li Ye?

Didn't it mean that the emperor had personally investigated the matter and dismissed all the diners in the second prince's house?

If this is really the case, what should I do as my precious disciple?

Seeing that she is becoming more and more fond of Li Ye...and she is trapped in this spiral, how can she cope with it?

Are you on Li Ye's side?

Are you on the side of the second prince?

She understood that no matter which side she stood on, she would hurt the innocent apprentice in front of her.

After thinking about it, I had no taste for it, so I couldn't help but sigh deeply.

A pair of phoenix eyes stared at Li Ye quietly, like the resentful woman who greeted her husband at the door.

Xia Wutong didn't know why, but she couldn't help but be startled when she saw her master placing his chopsticks on the edge of the bowl and frowning.

He looked at it nervously and asked: "Master, what's wrong with you? This food doesn't suit your appetite? Or did the quarrel between us make you angry? You can't be so angry that you're going to have to ask Junior Brother Li Ye to have a fight with you tomorrow."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to put a few pieces of vegetables into her bowl and turned to look at Li Ye.

Li Ye was so flustered by Xia Wutong that he had no choice but to raise his head and look at Tang Qiuyu, laughing twice.

He said absently: "That Mr. Tang, no one can tell what will happen in the future. Maybe by the time I come down from the mountain in ten years, the practitioners in the five realms will have already forgotten me, and naturally there will be no trouble."

"Who knows? Can a monster like you live a peaceful life?" Tang Qiuyu said quietly.

"Or maybe ten years from now I will be world-famous and alone in the world, and those who want to cause trouble for me will be timid and will not dare to come forward. The future is long, so don't be anxious."

Li Ye ignored the two of them and replied calmly.

"The days are long, don't be anxious?" Tang Qiuyu murmured.

The way of your heart depends on your current state, which is not even the Golden Core state. What will happen even if it takes ten years?

Even if you practice Buddhist physical skills to the extreme, can you become invincible in the world?

Besides, in Buddhism, who has become a saint in the physical body, who is not an old monk who has practiced Buddhism for hundreds of years?

Li Ye looked at her troubled expression and couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

Xin Dao, you are only in the realm of distraction, how can you see through my hidden realm? When you break through to the realm of transcending tribulation, I no longer need to hide my cultivation.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but whisper softly: "Those who know me say that I am worried, but those who don't know me say that what do I want?"

After finishing three bites, he emptied all the food in his bowl.

He reached out and placed the empty bowl on the table, quietly looking at the stunned master and apprentice.

Xia Wutong couldn't help but reach out and touch Li Ye's forehead. He paused for a moment and then said, "Junior brother Li Ye, don't you have a fever?"

Tang Qiuyu couldn't help laughing when he looked at the appearance of his precious apprentice, and finally burst into laughter.

Xia Wutong didn't understand why his master was laughing, and still looked at Li Ye stupidly.

Li Ye was stunned, looked at her and said, "I've already finished eating. The food is still hot. Hurry, I'll wash the dishes later."

Tang Qiuyu looked at his innocent and lovely apprentice and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Those who know me say that I am worried; those who do not know me say that what do I want?
