Back in the wooden house, Li Ye lay on the bamboo chair and looked at the flying snow outside. He wanted to rush out and swing his sword, but he found that he didn't even have the strength to lift his fingers at this moment, so he couldn't help but sigh.

.

In the next few months before the New Year, you should carefully plan your daily practice.

Practice swordsmanship for an hour every morning, spend another hour cooking and drinking tea, go to the ground fire pond to refine the epee sword embryo for an hour, and save some energy to return to the square where the dragon is and spend another hour refining it.

Dragon Soul.

After resting outside the cave, I returned to the cave in the afternoon and spent an hour carving "Ksitigarbha Sutra" and "Lotus Sutra" on the stone wall. Then I went to the fire pool to forge the sword embryo for an hour, and spent another hour in the evening.

Refining dragon soul.

After making this arrangement, he suddenly felt that since he went to Fangcun Mountain, he had become a little lazy. He didn't spend as much time practicing every day as he did on Tianshan Mountain.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh a few times. Practicing without pressure will indeed make people lazier and lazier.

...

However, after Mr. Mu Mu returned to the Qingshi Courtyard, several women asked Mu Mu about Li Ye's situation. Xia Wutong pulled Mu Mu aside and the two of them murmured in low voices.

Nalan Yu looked at Ouyang Dongli who was sitting on the side and sighed: "I originally thought that meeting Master Ouyang would help me refine my sword, but I didn't expect that my joy would be in vain."

Ouyang Dongli glared at him and spat at him, scolding: "Just be satisfied. Since my apprentice calls you big brother, what kind of weapons are you going to forge after he comes down from the mountain?"

Nalanyu was stunned and looked at him in a daze, speechless.

"Besides, that boy also brought the sword-making platform with him. Even if I want to help you now, I am powerless." Ouyang Dongli thought to himself, I am also powerless?

The husband nodded, looked at the two of them and said, "The days are long, so don't rush."

Li Hongxiu was about to ask her husband about Li Ye, but when Nalan Yu interrupted her, she couldn't help but glared at him.

"Why are you in such a hurry? As a master's wife, I am still using a broken sword. Even if we line up, you have to line up behind me."

After speaking, he looked at the husband and asked: "How is that boy Li Ye? How many days did he stay in there before coming out?"

"Stayed for five whole days." The husband looked at her and Tang Qiuyu and replied calmly.

"Then he didn't say anything after he came out? Or did he gain something big?" Tang Qiuyu also asked.

"What can be gained? My brother was hungry in there for five days. As soon as he came out, he lit a fire and cooked porridge. It seems that he was starved in the cave."

After whispering to Xia Wutong, Mu Mu sat down next to Li Hongxiu at some point.

"Don't you deliver food to him every day? Why are you hungry?"

Tang Qiuyu's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

But Mu Mu curled her lips and said: "I gave it away for two days, but he didn't move it. On the third day, I didn't give it away. I had already thrown away the ones I gave him two days ago."

Ouyang Dongli watched the conversation between the two women, shook his head and said: "This little girl must be hiding something from you. She went into meditation for five days for no reason. I won't believe it even if I beat her to death."

After speaking, he looked at Mr. again.

Hearing this, the teacher laughed and replied: "Don't forget, he is also your disciple. How can a master talk about his disciple like this?"

Mu Mu also nodded vigorously, looked at Ouyang Dongli and said, "Mr. Ouyang is right. Mr. Ouyang is a little bad."

Several people questioned him for a long time, but in the end they still couldn't find anything useful.

But it has been decided that Li Ye will come back before New Year's Eve.

Nalanyu looked at Ouyang Dongli, then at Mr., held it in for a long time, and then asked softly: "Sir, while the weather is still nice and there is no snow, can you take me to visit Xuantian? I'll come

It’s been a long time since I visited this temple.”

Li Hong's sleeves were stunned.

Tang Qiuyu was stunned.

The husband smiled, put down the book in his hand, pointed to the door and said, "Well, I can't stay in this room all day, so I will accompany you to the temple."

After saying that, he stood up and walked outside the house.

Nalan Yu quickly followed, and the two of them left the Qingshi courtyard one after the other.

"Brother Nalan, what are you doing? Can't you talk to your husband if you have anything to say in the house?" Mu Mu was obviously a little angry.

Li Hongxiu glanced outside the door and said nothing.

But Ouyang Dongli smiled and said: "You haven't seen that boy who is very anxious these days. He is looking forward to his coming down the mountain every day. There must be something important and it is inconvenient to talk about it in front of us, so he took him.

Go out."

Tang Qiuyu thought for a while, patted Li Hongxiu's hand and said, "We women sometimes don't know all about this man's matters, and we can't help him even if we know."

Li Hongxiu lowered his head and thought, it was the same reason, and he stopped worrying.

Instead, he looked at Ouyang Dongli and said, "Mr. Ouyang, you didn't give me the sword, but you ate a lot of wine and meat. How long do you plan to wait before returning to your fairy nest?"

Ouyang Dongli obviously didn't expect Li Hongxiu to do this.

At that moment, the old man's face turned red, and he frowned and replied: "It's hard to wait until your man comes down. No matter what, I have to drink for another three to five days before leaving."

Xia Wutong couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.

Mu Mu stretched out her hand, pulled Ouyang Dongli's sleeve, and said arrogantly: "Mr. Ouyang, since you are my brother's master, Mu Mu will treat you to roast pheasant meat today."

After speaking, he took out two frozen pheasants and placed them on the table.

Li Hongxiu was startled, and then said: "This pheasant has not yet been stripped of its feathers, why is it on the table? Let's go to the kitchen to boil water and eat this delicious food together."

After speaking, he glanced at Tang Qiuyu.

Ouyang Dongli laughed, touched Mu Mu's little head and said, "Mu Mu is still sensible and knows how to respect the teacher."

...

The husband and Nalanyu who were walking on the back mountain of Xuantian Temple had already walked around the back mountain and were about to return to the small bluestone courtyard.

Looking up at the sky where dark clouds were gradually forming, the husband sighed softly: "I finally came out...can't you just live in peace?"

"According to the Lord, he doesn't know when that day will come. He is afraid that he has not arranged everything here before leaving. He is even more afraid that his departure will cause chaos in the five regions."

Nalanyu followed him and whispered back.

The teacher pondered for a long time before replying: "You go back and tell him that I will come back next autumn at the latest. If it is sooner, it will have to wait until summer. After all, Ye'er's practice is also very important. I can't leave him alone."

"

"Can my brother complete this practice next summer and autumn?"

Nalan Yu was a little surprised. Li Ye told him that he would practice for ten to eight years.

"It's so fast. I have to wait for him to practice to a certain level before I can leave with peace of mind. In other words, neither your lord nor those around him are easy to worry about. Go ahead, really

As long as the weather is fine, be careful when going down the mountain, and I won't see you off anymore."

I waved my hand, sir, to see the guest off.

"When sir is leaving, you can go to the inn in Fodu. The staff there will arrange carriages, horses and other things." Seeing that he had completed the mission of the trip, Nalan Yu was filled with joy and said goodbye to his husband.

"Let's go, let's go! I'm going back to the house too." The gentleman waved his hand again and pushed open the wooden door of the Qingshi Courtyard.

...

Li Ye in the cave looked up at the dragon's skeleton in the square in a daze.

Although since Mu Mu took away the immortal dragon soul, the terrifying pressure in the cave has disappeared.

But looking at the keel in front of me, which is shining brightly under the luminous pearls, there is still an inexplicable majesty.

After he woke up from trance, he found that it was too difficult to refine the dragon soul in his body.

In his opinion, even with the power of his soul, if there is a torrent in the glacier on Tianshan Mountain,

And this group of immortal dragon souls is like the ten thousand-year-old rock in the cold pool, not afraid of the impact of the rushing water.

This water grinding process is really difficult.

It is no less than the first time carving scriptures on the stone wall on Tianshan Mountain.

The only thing that makes him happy is that maybe he can break through to the perfect state of "Phaseless Dharma Body" without completely refining this dragon soul.

Practicing with hope is like a lamp in the dark night, giving a glimmer of light to those who are about to despair.

He patted his butt and got up from the ground, thinking that there was half a pheasant outside the cave that had not been eaten after Mu Mu left, and thought that he could be lazy again at noon.

Burn the pheasant meat in the stove, fill your stomach and rest for a while.

Mumu has been away for five days, and he has been carving scriptures on the stone wall in the cave for four days. At this time, he is no longer as difficult as he was on Tianshan Mountain.

After an hour, he was able to carve out a small section, and he thought he would be able to finish carving two volumes of scripture before leaving here.

Both Mr. Tang and Xia Wutong said that the scriptures he carved on the stone wall had the meaning of swords. Even Mr. Tang thought so too, but Li Ye couldn't feel it at all.

In his eyes, the carvings on the stone wall were just to become more proficient in the sword skills in his hands. If his husband hadn't asked him to practice swordsmanship for this reason, he would not have thought of this move.

On the contrary, the embryo of the heavy sword in the fire pool, after several days of forging and hammering, finally looked better than before. Although it did not have a sword shape yet, it became a long strip.

...

When the Mao hour is approaching, I get up and practice sword practice, cutting the snow in the wind.
To be continued...
