Chapter 22: Innocent Thoughts

Under the golden elixir, I am invincible! Above the golden elixir, I am about to come.

Li Xiuyuan quietly felt the changes in his body. Although his leg injury had not been completely repaired, he could already feel the true energy flowing slowly through his veins. This was hope. He believed that he would be fully recovered in less than two years.

"To me, you are just a monster!"

The master said to himself, then clapped his hands and turned back to his room. It seems that in these days, he can calm down and understand his own practice.

After drinking Li Xiuyuan's medicinal wine, although the master had no desire to break through the realm, it gave him a sense of the realm that he had not seen for a long time. This made him unable to help but sigh, he finally waited for the opportunity of immortality.

This opportunity lies with the young man in front of me.

Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting under the eaves, couldn't help but laugh, with tears in his laughter. Only he knew the hardships along the way, and no one else knew about it.

Reaching out his hand to catch a snowflake falling from the sky, Li Xiuyuan suddenly felt the urge to rush into the flying snow to practice his sword.

"If I rise with my sword, I will cut off the snow and wind in the sky."

A feeling of pride rose in his chest, and Li Xiuyuan murmured a few words quietly. However, he had to wait a few more days for the snow to arrive. There would be plenty of time in the future, so he would first practice the music more skillfully.

I can't let my master's hard work go down.

"Xiu Yuan, you have broken through two realms in half an hour. It is really gratifying! You are not ten years old yet, are you?" Although the master said this, he was full of pride and joy.

Can't hide it.

"Haha, it all depends on the teacher's guidance and help, otherwise I would have broken the first level at most. Thank you sir for your help. When spring comes, I will brew a few large vats of wine for you."

Li Xiuyuan, who was very happy, looked at the Master and said with a smile: "But I don't have this elixir. I have to find it myself. There are other things."

The master smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand and tore off another chicken leg and handed it to him: "Go on and eat. After you are full, you can play the piano in the evening. After you break through the realm, you should be more skilled in the practice of the piano."

"Teacher, please drink two more glasses. I have put a lot of elixirs in this wine. I think most of the medicines my master and I collected were used to make this wine."

The old Taoist priest's expression when he was drinking appeared in front of Li Xiuyuan's eyes again, and his expression was a bit more exaggerated than that of the Master.

The master was naturally not polite. He held the wine jar and drank one glass after another. Without much effort, Li Xiuyuan drank five glasses of wine from the jar, and the rest all went into the master's stomach.

"Alas, I got an advantage from the dean's favor... No, I have to take a break. This drink is quite strong..."

While the master was muttering, he stood up and staggered towards the back room.

After the master left, Li Xiuyuan tore two more pieces of chicken until the charcoal fire in the brazier gradually cooled down, then he got up to clean up the mess in front of him and spent a quarter of an hour cleaning the living room.

He lit the small stove on the table, and while reading piano music, he made a pot of tea. Although he had not known the taste of tea for three years, he had tea in front of him, so he couldn't miss it.

He reached out and picked up a book from the bookshelf, holding it in his hand. He sat back at the table and opened it, only to see three words written on the music score.

Thoughts are innocent.

Good things are lawful and bad things are admonishable. Therefore, it makes people think of innocence.

Don’t look at anything that’s not polite, don’t hear anything that’s not polite, don’t say anything that’s not polite, don’t do anything that’s not polite.

Thinking without evil, the words of this poem... stop the evil and prevent evil, and generally return to the right. This sentence can be taken as such.

To sum it up in one word: thinking without evil.

Li Xiuyuan read it softly, thinking about Wuxie, what a strange name. He had a feeling of déjà vu, but he couldn't place it.

I sat quietly at the table, drank three courses of tea, and read through a book of music scores. It was already the time when the moon was at its zenith.

After reading the music score, Li Xiuyuan had long forgotten the idea of ​​not disturbing the master, and unknowingly sat in front of the piano table again, with his hands gently resting on the strings.

Sitting alone in the dark bamboo,

Play the piano and roar again.

In the dead of night, Li Xiuyuan's music no longer had the sonorous sound of yesterday, but became as if there was no sound, like spring rain falling between the green tiles, like the breeze in the mountains pointing at the face, or even more like a whisper in the middle of the night, almost indistinguishable.

smell.

In the living room, the song ended, and Li Xiuyuan opened his eyes, feeling that the music was still unfinished.

The master only taught him one song, "Four Zhang Ji", but he realized "Si Wu Xie" on his own. I don't know if the master, who was drunk in bed, heard this song in his sleep, which even he didn't like to play.

sheet music.

...

In the following days, Li Xiuyuan practiced for half a day and played the qin for the other half. The master did not teach him any other qin music these days.

Because the Master said that since you have realized "Si Wu Xie", you should first practice this piece of music, and then integrate it into your soul and let it become a part of your own flesh and blood.

Li Xiuyuan, besides practicing in the snow in search of a faint hint of sword intent, would sit in the master's living room and play the piano.

There was a breakthrough in his piano skills. In the following days, Li Xiuyuan practiced the piano while practicing his Taixuan Sutra. He seemed dull and didn't like talking, but he had a stubborn stubbornness in his bones.

It was this stubbornness that enabled him to practice Master's music to a new level in a short period of time.

And as he cultivated with all his strength, the true energy in his Dantian quickly became thicker, and his understanding of the Taixuan Sutra also deepened.

In less than a month, his cultivation level finally broke through again and reached the ninth level of foundation building. And his disabled left leg showed signs of rotation. Could it be that Li Xiuyuan thought it was because of "Si Wu Xie"

Because of the music?

I wonder if by the beginning of spring, my realm will break through to the golden elixir level?

Looking at the wind and snow outside the living room, Li Xiuyuan murmured to himself.

At this time, the master was planning to make wine in the spring. After disappearing for a few days, the master came back. There were several large water tanks in the yard, and the kitchen was filled with rice, sorghum and other materials needed for brewing.

When he returned to the living room, he simply threw a space ring to Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "See if the herbs in it are enough. If not, I will go out and find some more."

Li Xiuyuan put his mind into the ring, and after a while he said softly: "That's enough, these herbs are enough to brew five large vats of wine."

"That's good." The Master smiled.

"We haven't seen each other in just a few days, how come you have broken through to another level?" The master made a fire and boiled water together, and said with a smile: "Looking at your posture, do you want to break through to the golden elixir level in the spring?"

"I thought about it and decided not to worry! Let's wait for summer." Li Xiuyuan thought that having broken through three realms in a row might have an impact on his future practice, and a voice in his mind told him not to worry.

"I'm very happy that you think so."

The Master handed Li Xiuyuan a cup of brewed tea, and he tasted it slowly while holding a cup.

"Teacher, why do you, a master like you, give your students the appearance of growing old?"

Thinking of the master's previous performance in the academy class, Li Xiuyuan was puzzled. Taking advantage of the master's good mood today, he quickly asked.

"Them? Those who want to learn will naturally study hard, just like you." The master looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile, "Haven't you heard a saying, Tao should not be taught lightly?"

"Tao should not be taught lightly?" Li Xiuyuan repeated softly.

"Yes, the Tao should not be taught lightly. They don't want to learn, so why should I force it on them?" There was a hint of dissatisfaction on the master's face, which reminded Li Xiuyuan of the attitude of many students...

"Teacher, will you still give lectures after spring?" Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and asked.

Unexpectedly, the master shook his head, looked at him and said with a smile: "Since I have seen the hope of ascension, I will not waste this good time on them."

Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looking at him speechless. He didn't expect that the students in the academy were too lazy to make the master no longer want to teach them.

It seems that I am the luckiest one. Is it because my legs and feet are disabled and I cannot walk fast?

"Don't ask any questions. Whatever you want to learn next, I will teach you as long as I know how to do it. I just hope you practice well and don't live up to your talents."

The Master looked at Li Xiuyuan and said seriously: "The Shura Heaven Realm is so huge. Only by breaking through your realm to the legendary realm can you have a place under the starry sky."

Li Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this, looked at him and said with a smile: "I haven't broken through the golden elixir yet, so don't worry. No matter what, I have to wait ten or eight years before I can conquer the world, right?"

"Since you have seen the realm of Jindan, do you need me to discuss with the dean and give you the status of a student after the spring starts?" The Master looked at him and asked.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head. He was used to the unrestrained life in front of him. How could he be willing to accept all the rules of that student?

Isn't it just the chores of chopping firewood and cooking? It doesn't matter, just treat it as training.

Looking at the Master, he replied: "Teacher, I have become accustomed to this kind of life now. Those identities are just false names. I don't need them."

The master was speechless for a moment. The disciple in front of him was only so young, but his state of mind was comparable to that of a practitioner who was dozens of years old and above the Nascent Soul.

"It's okay if you don't want to, you can settle down and practice." The master seemed very happy.

"I just want to practice quietly with my teacher, and I won't think about anything else for the time being."

Li Xiuyuan had already made a decision. Such a decision had also been made in the palace of Tianfeng City. However, the marriage between Queen Changsun and King Qin disrupted his practice.

"Then let's practice hard. When spring comes, we master and apprentice will make wine first, and then go out for a walk. The scenery in the mountains is pretty good, isn't it?" The Master smiled proudly.

He was laughing at the old dean who actually threw a treasure to him. By the time he remembered it, this little guy was probably already above the golden elixir.

"Are we going to go into the mountains after spring?" Li Xiuyuan asked. "Then I have to chop more firewood, lest the elder in charge of the canteen scolds me for being lazy."

"Yes. That's fine!" The master smiled and nodded. But he thought in his heart: What does the old man care about what he does? When I ask for leave for you, will he still be able to eat me?

In Fengyun Academy, Master is a cunt who no one can offend, because no one knows how long he has lived, and no one knows how high his level is.

Even the dean had to call him master when he saw him.

Li Xiuyuan sighed softly and said: "It's just that my legs and feet are not up to par, and I will be holding back the teacher."

Unexpectedly, the master shook his head and said: "I am already very old and I can't walk as fast as you. What are you afraid of?"

"Teacher!" Li Xiuyuan sighed. Xin Daozi also liked to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. He said, "Teacher, why don't you be so humble!"

The Master looked at him, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "You kid, you don't understand. If I were a wolf, would anyone in this academy be afraid of me?"

"Teacher, aren't you afraid that the dean will blame you if he finds out?" Li Xiuyuan replied speechlessly.

"What about you?" the master said with a smile.
