Chapter Twenty-Nine: An Apricot Tree in the Courtyard
Although this incident did not cause irreparable consequences, it almost endangered the lives of tens of millions of people, and the warden came forward to judge and imprisoned the teacher in Bashan, where he could never be released. ”
The strength of the five major factions is not inferior to the Holy Dragon Clan, but they did not take action to stop it back then, firstly because the Holy Dragon Clan took advantage of this matter, and secondly, because Mr. Liu was the elder of the Warden Division.
So this matter should naturally be brought forward by the warden department.
"Your wardens are really useless, and you can't even protect your own people. ”
Liang Xiaodao pursed his lips, a little disdainful.
Ye Xiu glanced at him and said lightly: "Back then, the warden gave the teacher two choices, the first was to return the Holy Dragon Heart, imprison Bashan, and never come out. ”
"The second is to kill the Holy Lord. ”
"The consequences of killing the Holy Lord are too serious, even if the Warden is willing to bear it, it is inevitable that there will be great turmoil, not to mention that the Holy Lord is not so easy to kill, and the teacher is not willing to make mistakes again and again, so he chose the first one, and it has become today's situation. ”
Liang Xiaodao flickered for a moment, then touched his nose, and smiled: "This is still like what the five major factions should be." ”
Ye Xiu continued: "I am also qualified to enter the Warden Division because of the recommendation of the teacher, and in the past twenty-three years, it is not so much that he has been trapped here by the trial of the Warden Division, but that he himself has trapped himself here, and if he can't get out of his heart, he can't get out of this Bashan City." ”
The so-called heart knot is very complicated, it is related to Liu Ba, to the tens of millions of people, to the Holy Dragon Clan, and to the path he has believed in all his life.
As an elder of the warden, of course, what he wants to do is to punish evil and promote good, but he has done evil with his own hands and almost caused misery to his life.
This is the most difficult place to get rid of the knot.
Bashan City is a prison, but the real prison is in the heart.
Whether it is digging out the heart with his own hands or stealing the heart, the series of consequences are deeply imprinted in Mr. Liu's heart and cannot be dispelled, everyone in the world knows that it is a heart knot, but it is one thing to know it, and it is another thing to see through it.
Even if they don't cultivate in this life and only cultivate in the next life, they are rarely able to achieve true emptiness, and the heaven and earth are so big that there will always be things that cannot be seen.
Even like Li Xiu, there is an emotional obstacle that he can't get out.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought you had broken through the four realms. ”
Ending the topic of Mr. Liu, Ye Xiu glanced back at Li Xiu, his calm tone contained a touch of surprise, when he was in front of the academy, this prince of the Tang Kingdom had already stood at the peak of the Three Realms, and then he often paid attention to the news of Tiance, and knew that Li Xiu had entered the sea of books and climbed to the fourteenth floor.
In addition, accompanying Xiao Boru along the way, it can be described as a series of opportunities and tempering, and his strength will definitely improve a lot, and even the appalling thing of stepping into the four realms is not an exaggeration in his opinion.
"Because of the sword test conference, I can't break through the four realms for the time being. ”
Li Xiu explained.
Ye Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "People like you will also care about this sword test?"
At the beginning, all the monks from Huangzhou who went to the academy and planned to enter the sea of books, as long as the name Li Xiu was mentioned, the first thing that came to mind was definitely the four words of empty eyes.
Would a person who is so proud to the extreme suppress the realm for the sake of a mere sword test?
Even if this is a grand event held by Wanxiang City, people all over the world have paid attention.
He wouldn't care.
Li Xiu walked forward and said lightly: "I don't care, that's why I can't break through the realm." ”
This sounds difficult to understand, Liang Xiaodao knows what he has to do, so he can understand, Ye Xiu doesn't know, so he feels very confused.
No man's alley can never really be uninhabited, along the way you can still see a few figures walking quickly, these people do not live here, just walk by between walks.
Mr. Liu lives in the largest courtyard in front of him.
The three stopped in front of the courtyard gate.
Ye Xiu took a few steps forward to loosen the ring on the door, and pushed the door open, he was passing through Bashan City when he was a child, and he accidentally passed by here and met Mr. Liu watering flowers in the courtyard, so he asked for a glass of water, and since then he has become a disciple of Mr. Liu.
Now, after so many years, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have become as close as father and son.
"The teacher doesn't like a lot of people, so I don't usually see outsiders. ”
Ye Xiu pushed open the door and said softly at the same time.
Liang Xiaodao glanced at Li Xiu, but his footsteps never stopped, since Ye Xiu brought them here, he naturally would not stop outside the door.
"But you are different people after all, and I think the teacher would like to see you. ”
Ye Xiu walked into the courtyard, stood on the side of the courtyard door and raised his hand to make an introduction posture.
Li Xiu and Liang Xiaodao walked in one after another.
This is a very ordinary yard, it looks like a small farm yard, there is an apricot tree planted on the left side, and wild grasses and wild flowers grow below, and on the right side is a three-story platform built with long wooden planks, which is full of potted flowers, and there are not many varieties, only four or five kinds at a glance.
This yard is very large, and in addition to these flowers and plants, there are some crops planted in the larger open space behind them, which are growing very well, and although it is only the end of summer, it is close to maturity.
Eighty percent of the front yards are planted with all kinds of things, and the remaining two percent are places to live.
This is a small wooden house, the room is very small, there are only two rooms on the left and one on the right, there was originally only one, and later it was because of Ye Xiu that one more room was prepared.
"Student Ye Xiu, meet the teacher. ”
Not long after the heavy rain in Bashan Town stopped, the dark clouds in the sky had not yet dispersed, and the apricot trees in the courtyard were full of dew, and dozens of yellow apricots on the trees were still swaying back and forth with the wind.
Fortunately, the wind is not too strong, and the yellow apricot is very strong when hanging on the tree, and it will not fall.
The wind blowing after the rain will always bring an unusual coolness to the body, Li Xiu's hair is scattered on his shoulders and is not tied together, Xu Yingxiu did not follow, and there is no fight to fight at the moment, and it is always more comfortable to wear hair on the body than to tie it together.
The door was pushed open, and there was a creaking sound that the wood could only come from aging and untidy undersides.
A middle-aged man walked out of the house, his figure was not burly, he could only be considered normal, slightly thin, wearing a snow-white dress, obviously only middle-aged, but there were some wrinkles on his face, especially the lines at the corners of his eyes.
The courtyard was paved with some green bricks, and his feet were on the bricks, and there was water pouring up the cracks after the rain.
He looked at Ye Xiu, his hands were hidden in his sleeves, his face did not show any expression, but there was a faint smile in his eyes, obviously being able to see this disciple made him a little happy.
The appearance is very ordinary, and he can't see the appearance and majesty of any Five Realms Grandmaster, maybe he has polished his bearing in the past twenty-three years, and now only ordinary and plain are left.
This is Mr. Liu.
Ye Xiu bowed respectfully to him, and Li Xiu and Liang Xiaodao also bowed to their juniors.
There is no transgression.
"Come in and sit!"
He nodded softly at the three of them and whispered.
