In the early morning, Li Ye woke up to the sound of birdsong. He stretched his arms while lying on a bamboo chair, stood up and sat cross-legged, and took a long breath.

He said softly: "It's another beautiful day."

The old ape lying next to him covered his eyes with his hands and muttered: "Why are you making such a noise so early? When did you finish last night? I couldn't bear it and fell asleep."

Li Ye lowered his head and looked inside, and found that the golden elixir had changed from a pigeon egg to an egg with eight purple lines on it. He couldn't help but sighed and murmured: "The golden elixir is actually at the eighth level. Is it true?

It’s too scary to break the elixir and transform into a baby before going down the mountain. I hope the old monk can resolve it for me.”

Listening to Li Ye's soliloquy, the old ape was silent for a moment, opened his eyes and looked at him and said: "I am indeed old... I only drank a jar of wine and couldn't help but fall asleep. What? You actually

Breaking through three minor realms and reaching the eighth level?"

"I didn't expect it to be like this. Is it the first time I've eaten the meat of a beast in this divine realm, or have I accumulated some infuriating energy before. In short, I didn't look carefully last night, and I didn't realize it until I woke up this morning."

Li Ye looked at him and said seriously.

Hearing Li Ye's words, the old ape nodded and replied: "This is normal. Even Xiao Bai has broken through two realms. He is at the Nascent Soul realm."

After a moment of silence, the old ape showed a look of joy on his face, thinking that he could now let the two little guys go down the mountain with confidence.

She looked at Li Ye quietly and said softly: "As long as we break through the situation, Lao Lang and I can let you go down the mountain with confidence."

Hearing these words, Li Ye's heart skipped a beat, thinking that there is no such thing as a banquet in this world that lasts forever. It won't be long before he takes Xiaobai down the mountain, and it won't be long before the two old men overcome the calamity and leave this world.

I really don’t know how many years we have to wait until we meet again...

Li Ye shook out the clothes that were wrinkled while sleeping, stood up, walked to the table and sat down, lit the pine branches in the stove with a fire stick, and added water to the pot.

He turned back to look at the old ape and said, "I don't know when I fell asleep last night. There is still a black python's inner elixir in this pot, senior. How should I deal with it?"

The old ape climbed up from the recliner, and then looked at Li Ye in confusion, looking like he was still hungover.

He lowered his head and seemed to have thought of something. He sighed and said: "Don't rush this matter. Just leave it alone for now. Before you go down the mountain, I will teach you how to refine it. It will probably help you break through to Nascent Soul."

realm."

Li Ye nodded and said with a smile: "This will cause trouble to Senior Mo."

The old ape sighed and said with a smile: "In the next few days, you don't need to practice qi anymore. Just copy scriptures and drink tea and chat with the old man."

Li Ye lowered his head and remained silent, saying nothing more. He took some tea leaves and threw them into the pot, waiting for the water to boil.

Li Ye's silence was because he thought that he had broken through too quickly. Not long after he broke through to the fifth level, he actually ate a black python meat and broke through to the eighth level. When he went down the mountain, he would refine the black python inner elixir to break through the elixir and transform into an infant.

.

The reason why the old ape was silent was because it was already summer, and the time promised by Li Ye was getting closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, the two of them would be separated, and I don't know how long it would take to see each other again.

In the past year of getting along with each other, he had already loved Li Ye and Xiaobai as if they were his grandchildren. When they were suddenly separated, he naturally felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

"Have you gotten up, old man? Have you cooked the morning porridge? I'm so hungry, old wolf, so I'll serve you two bowls quickly." The old wolf walked in with his hands behind his back, followed by a sleepy-eyed Xiao Bai.

The old ape rolled his eyes at him and said, "The porridge hasn't been boiled yet. I can pour you a bowl of tea first."

Xiaobai chuckled from behind and sat down next to Li Ye.

Holding his hand, he said: "Brother, how many realms did you break through last night? I am now a master of the second level of Nascent Soul. I will protect you after coming down the mountain."

Li Ye reached out and touched his head gently, smiling without answering.

The old ape looked at the old wolf unhappily, then glanced at Xiaobai, grinned and said: "You silly boy is pretty good, he actually broke through the second level. If you work harder, you will be a master in the middle stage of Nascent Soul."

The water was boiling on the stove, and Li Ye warmed the pot, washed the tea, washed the cups, poured a cup of hot tea for each of the three of them, and placed it in front of the table.

Xiaobai opened his eyes, looked at Li Ye curiously, took his hand and shouted: "For the sake of Grandpa Yuan and I fighting the black python, please tell me your current state." He stared at him with an innocent look.

Look at Li.

The old ape smiled, picked up the tea cup in front of him, blew gently and took a sip.

Looking at Xiaobai and Lao, he said, "Why don't you ask your Grandpa Wolf? He can tell it at a glance."

The old wolf glared at the old ape and picked up his tea cup.

Looking at Xiaobai, he said: "Ignore this old man. Your brother has broken through one more realm than you. He is now at the eighth level of the Golden Core. You are at the Nascent Soul realm, and it is already very impressive to be able to break through to the second level. Don't follow him."

Compare."

Xiaobai shook his head, looked at Li Ye and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm much taller than you. I can protect you after we go down the mountain."

Li Ye got up and put away the inner elixir in the pot, poured rice and water into the pot, and prepared to start cooking porridge.

The old ape suddenly said: "Would you like to put some bones in the pot? Anything is very nourishing."

...

The old wolf frowned and said, "In the early morning, it's better to have a lighter meal, and then put the bones in to cook the pilaf rice at noon."

Li Ye then said: "Then cook white porridge to clear your stomach."

He put the pot on the stove, poured tea into the cups of the three of them, looked at Xiaobai and said, "After drinking this cup of tea, go practice swordplay first, and then come back and eat porridge."

Xiaobai nodded and said "Oh!", picked up the tea cup and blew gently.

Li Ye took off the bamboo sword from the shelf, took a sip from the tea cup, pushed the chair away and walked out the door.

For Li Ye, practicing is as natural as eating and sleeping. He will naturally do it when the time comes, and he never needs urging from his husband.

But Xiaobai was young and had no self-control, so he reluctantly followed Li Ye to practice every day.

The old wolf suddenly said: "Xiao Bai, you have to be more conscious in the future. Don't have to call you to practice every day. You must know that you are not practicing for others."

The old ape smiled and said: "Xiaobai is still young, so he can play for a few years, don't worry."

The old wolf glared at the old ape fiercely, and said indifferently: "Am I teaching my grandson? Do I need to take care of this?"

Not to be outdone, the old ape glared back, frowned and said, "Isn't Xiaobai my grandson?"

Hearing the resistance of the two old men, Xiao Bai silently stood up, took down the bamboo knife from the shelf, and walked out of the house without saying a word.

The old ape looked at Xiaobai's back and muttered: "You old thing, you scared the child."

"How is it possible? Snow wolves are a noble race in the world. How can they be so fragile? This little guy is very lazy. We can't give him a chance to be lazy. If we don't teach him now, there will be no one to teach him when he goes down the mountain. He will probably be spoiled.

This is not good."

The old wolf thought to himself that this kid just needs to be dealt with. He has always been too spoiled by him.

The old ape sighed, looked out of the shed and said quietly: "There's nothing we can do about it, because you and I are currently unable to protect them."

Hearing what the old ape said, the old wolf picked up the cup, lowered his head and drank the water without saying a word.

The sound of the small white bamboo sword being slashed came from outside the house. Only Li Ye's bamboo sword looked weak, and there was no sound of wind every time he slashed.

Li Ye looked at Xiao Bai, frowned, and said softly: "This is for you to find the feeling of a knife, not for you to use force to chop, otherwise you will be exhausted before you can cut ten thousand knives.

Half dead, like me, don't use your true energy, just relax."

Xiaobai looked at him and said with a smile: "No wonder you act like nothing happened after practicing every day. It turns out that you didn't use your inner strength to practice swordsmanship at all."

"Otherwise? I'm not killing monsters, so why should I use force?" Li Ye did not stop and continued to wave the bamboo sword in his hand carelessly.

Xiaobai thought about it for a while, and finally followed the method taught by Li Ye, without using any internal force on his arm, and just used his body's strength to gently chop out the bamboo knife in his hand.

He learned that Li Ye explained it very clearly to him, and it was completely for his own good. He felt a little excited, looked at Li Ye and said, "Brother, thank you, I will practice seriously."

Li Ye nodded, but there was no response, and continued to wave the bamboo sword in his hand.

...

After breakfast, Li Ye prepared Xiao Bai's potion for tempering. The two old men hurriedly led Xiao Bai to the old ape's cave under the cliff. Xiao Bai followed behind carrying a bucket of python blood.

After wiping the tabletop, adding two pieces of charcoal to the stove, and filling the kettle with water, Li Ye began to grind the ink, thinking that with a few more days of hard work, he would be able to complete the scriptures he requested for the old wolf and the ape.

There is no sun or moon in the mountains, but the breeze in the mountains smells of flowers and sings of birds.

When carving the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" on the stone wall on Fairy Peak, although I was able to put the sword into the brushwork, I still regretted that it was not enough due to my state of mind.

Later, I came to Poxu Monk's cave and entered the golden elixir realm overnight. I had a deeper understanding of the control of power. When I wrote scriptures on the stone wall again, my writing became much smoother.

Now I have copied several volumes of the Lotus Sutra on paper. Both the calligraphy and the writing style are very smooth, without any reluctance or astringency.

He believed that if he sent this scroll of scriptures to the monk at the foot of the mountain, he would definitely be filled with joy.

Thinking of this, I felt a little disappointed, thinking that I would leave Tianshan and return to the city soon.

He knew very well that he could calm down and copy the scriptures because it was very quiet on Tianshan Mountain, without worldly disturbances or family worries, so he could calm down.

The elusive sense of watery swordsmanship and the meaning of lifting a light weight but not a heavy weight are integrated into the lines of boring scriptures, so that even Tang Qiuyu's swordsmanship will surprise everyone after reading it.

If after going down the mountain and entering the city, after a few years of wind and rain, just like what the teacher said, I am afraid that even the mood of carefully reading a few volumes of poetry will slowly disappear.

Li Ye didn't quite believe what his husband said. At this time, he had not yet entered the world. He firmly believed that even if he entered the world one day, he would still be as calm and calm as he is today.

It was almost noon and Xiaobai hadn't come back yet. Li Ye felt a little sleepy, so he put down his writing and lay down on the bamboo chair with his eyes closed to rest.

...

It had not been a moment since I woke up, and my nose was filled with the scent of python meat, as well as the voices of the old ape and the old wolf talking.

I opened my eyes hard and saw that Xiaobai was already lying on the bamboo chair next to me, and the old ape and the old wolf were eating happily with bowls in their hands.

Beside him, there was a little girl in a green dress sitting, looking at him with a pair of big black eyes.

Li Ye, who was half asleep, suddenly became energetic. He jumped up from the bamboo chair and shouted cheerfully: "Long time no see, Xiaoqing."
