"The flowers in the spring forest are so beautiful, and the birds in spring are so sad."
Zhengjing Gate, back mountain. A thin figure, waving an ax in his hand, was chopping purple-black bamboo.
She raised the ax and dropped it, and the bamboo broke with a sound, very easily, humming a song she didn't know where she learned it from.
Li Yu looked behind her for a while, then stepped forward and hit her on the head. Xiang Ling covered her head and let out a groan.
When she turned around and saw it was Li Yu, Xiangling immediately covered her head and looked at him timidly.
Li Yu reprimanded him angrily: "You are really picking and picking. When you first started practicing, I asked you to chop bamboo because you were weak and needed to practice this. Now you are already at level 5, and you are still chopping here.
Bamboo really doesn’t seek advancement.”
Xiangling's smile turned red after being scolded. She really didn't think of changing. Sister Bao went to ask for advice every few days. She had been chopping bamboo, and she felt a little ashamed when she thought about it.
Li Yu was speechless for this person. Not only did he not seek to improve, he was still humming a little yellow song. He didn't know where he heard it. She probably didn't know what it meant. Looking at Xiang Ling's cute look, Li Yu was immediately angry.
laughed.
"What level of cultivation have you reached?"
Xiangling's eyes twitched, she thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's the fifth grade or ninth level."
Li Yu directly put his hand on her forehead to test her. Sure enough, she was about to break through.
He nodded slightly and said, "That's pretty much it."
Xiang Ling is just a bit dull, but in fact, her qualifications are not bad. She even has spiritual roots in the five elements like Li Yu, which makes her a relatively rare person.
He took out a bamboo slip from the palm of his hand. The bamboo slip looked very old and exuded the muddy smell that can only be found when it is buried deep in the soil.
Then he took out the six-section staff, removed one of the dead vines, and handed it to Xiang Ling.
Li Yu said solemnly: "Take this and find a safe place at night. In the tunnel behind the mountain, hold this withered vine in one hand and flip through the bamboo slips with the other hand. You may not recognize the words on it, but
You still have to look carefully and look at each one one by one."
Xiang Ling nodded as if she understood, keeping Li Yu's words firmly in mind, and even kept reciting them silently.
Seeing her clumsy look, Li Yu felt better. He breathed a sigh of relief and gently stroked Xiang Ling's head and said, "If I die in battle, maybe you will be the next Great Sage."
Xiang Ling suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Yu, her eyes full of horror.
"Master you"
Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
Li Yu smiled and said, "I mean it's possible. Anyway, you should practice hard and don't let me worry when I can't protect you."
Xiangling was still very panicked, "Master, who are you going to fight? If he is so powerful, we might as well run away."
Li Yu pinched her snow-white cheeks and cursed with a smile: "You little coward, what kind of person is Master? It's impossible to run away, so do it with them!"
"Ahem."
From behind the flowers, there was a cough, and then a small figure walked out. Lin Daiyu looked at the two people and said: "I came at the wrong time. If there was not only one way, I would have gone around."
Li Yu didn't want to argue with her and said to Xiang Ling, "Go ahead."
Xiangling held the bamboo slips and the dead vines in her hands, and walked towards the tunnel. She walked very slowly, turning back every three steps. She was obviously frightened by what Li Yu had just said, for fear that something would happen to Li Yu.
Lin Daiyu looked at them suspiciously and asked, "What were you discussing just now?"
Li Yu sighed and said: "The affairs of our master and apprentice are the secrets of our sect and we cannot tell you."
Lin Daiyu turned her head and wanted to stomp away, but finally couldn't swallow the breath and wrinkled her nose and said: "It's true that I was disliked by my brother after all. She is not as handsome as sister Xiangling, so I shouldn't ask, let alone come.
"
Li Yu held his forehead and smiled bitterly, shook his head and prepared to go find Zuo Ci.
"Look, if I just say a few more words, my brother will look like this."
Li Yu looked at this little troublemaker and rubbed her head vigorously, making her delicate and beautiful hairstyle as messy as a bird's nest.
Just as Lin Daiyu was about to lose her temper, she turned around and saw that Li Yu had disappeared.
She kept her mouth shut and was sulking for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing——
"Senior, when did you reach this level of cultivation?"
Li Yu looked at Zuo Ci and asked surprisingly seriously.
Zuo Ci thought for a while and said, "About eight hundred years ago."
Li Yu nodded slightly and said, "Tell me, once you have reached a certain level of cultivation, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky to break through."
"Of course."
Li Yu's eyes were empty, and he suddenly sneered: "Then do you think it is possible that the gods and Buddhas are seriously overestimated?"
Zuo Ci's eyes suddenly became playful. He and Bai Mao looked at each other and asked, "Did you think of something?"
"I once killed hundreds of bandits and bandits in Taohua Village. I used ordinary methods, and even used a knife at that time. In just a few years, when my serious disciples came to Taohua Village, this matter
It has been exaggerated into a devastating aura, as if I did not kill bandits, but single-handedly defeated tens of thousands of elite generals."
Li Yu stood up and said: "It only took a few years for this matter to spread like this. What about the glorious deeds of the gods and Buddhas? They have been passed down from word to mouth for thousands of years. We all know that they moved mountains."
Reclamation seems to be impossible."
Li Yu's eyes were bright and he asked: "What's the truth? I don't think they have anything to fear, otherwise why don't they kill me directly? They are just like us, they just cast a halo on themselves and come to the lake to harm all living beings on the earth.
That’s all.”
"Our Lady of Lishan asked someone to come and make peace with me. I thought about it for many days before I came up with these opinions. Seniors, you are well-informed. Can you name them for me?"
Zuo Ci clapped his hands and said: "Finally someone has seen this. You have the courage to challenge the gods and Buddhas. That's why you can see clearly. But for thousands of years, people have covered these gods with their own hands.
Layers of fog.”
Li Yuning said: "I understand why gods and Buddhas are so high above and refuse to come down to earth. Human brains are the most flexible and like to imagine. If they are far away and cannot see clearly, they will be endowed by human imagination.
Infinite majesty.”
"They must keep their distance in order to continue to gain people's respect and thus receive offerings and incense."
"Now that we are about to go to war, why do we have to come to support the enemy? Mountains, rivers and earth have never been subordinate to the sky. Birds and beasts, including humans and monsters, should not be like rutted dogs."
Baimao was so happy that he pointed at Li Yu and said, "No one can say this, you can only understand it yourself. I have long seen that you dare to do anything!"
