"Brother Li, you shouldn't have cast a spell to help him go back, now he is angry, this time he will definitely make a lawsuit when he goes back, you are not helping him, but hurting him. ”

Seeing Zhou Cai riding a horse and leaving overnight, Cheng Le sighed and looked helpless.

Li Xiuyuan asked: "I won't help him go back to me today, can you stop him and not let him go back?"

"This, this...... It really can't, after this incident, I think that my virtuous brother can't bear it, even if he can hold him today, he will definitely go down the mountain and leave tomorrow. Cheng Le said.

"That's right. Since I can't stop it, why don't I help you? I just gave him a paper horse to go back early, and the result of the matter is not because he arrived early or late, but I know that since this matter is going to be settled, why not end this matter as soon as possible, the long pain is better than the short one

Pain, do you want to see him ashamed of this day and night?" Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said.

Cheng Le thought for a while and said: "Brother Li's words make sense, the outcome of the matter will indeed not change, but I am very worried about him going back alone......"

Li Xiuyuan said: "If you are worried, then you should practice more, only if you have a little success in cultivation, you can help Zhou Cai." ”

"That's right. Cheng Le nodded, and decided to ask the teacher to practice tomorrow.

If you succeed in learning within a year, it will be too late to go down the mountain to help Zhou Cai.

Li Xiuyuan didn't persuade much.

This is a private matter, how can others take care of it, and how to deal with this matter is also a personal decision made by that week, how can he interfere?

After all, such a thing is unbearable for anyone.

"There is a way that auspicious people have their own natural appearance, you don't need to worry too much about becoming a brother, you will rest early when it is not early today, and I will not bother much. Li Xiuyuan got up at this time to say goodbye.

"Thank you Brother Li for helping me many times today, and I can't thank you for my great kindness. Cheng Le replied.

Li Xiuyuan smiled: "Now that you have entered the mountain gate, you are the same brother, why do you need to be so polite." ”

After a polite exchange between the two, he returned to his bedroom.

Closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, meditated and rested, and began to practice hard again in the mountains like a monk.

The time to stay here for 90 days is not long, but not short.

In addition to learning spells, the rest of the time is nothing more than self-cultivation and cultivating sentiments.

He doesn't need to pursue immortality, nor does he need to do his homework every day, for fear of abandoning his cultivation, and he is more leisurely than the persistent practice of a cultivator.

In a flash, it was five or six days.

He had been here for ten days since the day he entered the gate.

Except for Ling Fengzi's incident, there was no other thing in the mountain gate, the mountain was quiet and abnormal, there was no sound of cars, horses, chickens and dogs, only the sound of insects and birds in the mountain, even in the Taoist temple, the Taoist uncles and brothers who had gathered in a hall before seemed to have been

disappeared, and no one was seen at all.

And during this period of time, Li Xiuyuan had nothing else to do except stay in the Daozang Hall and continue to learn spells.

But after ten days of learning the spell, the speed at which he mastered the spell was already seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

I learned all the spells that I should learn, but I didn't learn more about the remaining spells that I felt useless to me, and even if I did, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to use them.

"Everyone in the world says that immortals are good, but who understands that the long silence that cultivators endure in order to become immortals and attain the Tao is only a short period of ten days, if it is ten or twenty years, I am afraid that most people will not be able to persevere. ”

Li Xiuyuan was wearing a loose robe at the moment, his clothes were fluttering, casual and comfortable.

He walked on the mossy wet mountain stone path, with no purpose, just pure boredom, loneliness, and just wanting to come out for a walk.

The quietness in the mountains is a bit excessive, and it seems that a worldly person like him is really not used to staying for a long time.

On the way, he saw the son of the medicinal herb merchant who had entered the mountain gate to practice before, Zhang Shi was also wearing a Taoist robe, panting and carrying two buckets of water, walking at the foot of the mountain, his steps were shaking, and his face was full of sweat.

This is the homework that Teng Yunzi assigned to him every day, and he needs to fill three large tanks of water.

Zhang Shi has been holding on for ten days.

But the mood and temper are getting worse and worse day by day, not only is he tired like a dog every day, but he has not learned any spells, except for carrying water is carrying water, which is completely different from the scene he imagined learning fairy spells.

Even, he suspected that he had been called by this group of stinky Taoist priests as coolies.

Li Xiuyuan didn't know the reason, he just thought that Teng Yunzi was deliberately honing him.

After all, he is a young master from a rich family, and he is used to being served, and now it is necessary to go up the mountain to hone his will.

"I'm tired of Lao Tzu, I'm tired of Lao Tzu, I fill three large jars of water a day, this is not done by people at all, Lao Tzu will die of exhaustion on this mountain road sooner or later. Zhang Shi was panting, scolding as he walked, and cursed Teng Yunzi in his heart.

That stinky Taoist priest is really hateful, he doesn't give any spells to himself, so he lets himself carry water.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it and kindly reminded: "This brother, you shouldn't be so impatient, the more impatient you are, the more tired you are, you have to master the rhythm of carrying water and walking, the rhythm is right, in order to last, if you don't exert the right force, you will only get more and more tired." ”

"I want you to talk nonsense and be provincial, and Lao Tzu still wants you to teach you to carry water?" Zhang Shi scolded.

Li Xiuyuan was not angry, but just shook his head with a smile.

This person is angry, and he is afraid that the water will not last long.

Ignoring it anymore, he went back after preparing to turn around along the mountain road, and continued to go back to the Daozang Hall to learn some spells to see if there was anything missing.

But when he passed by Zhang Shi's side, Zhang Shihu's legs and feet were weak, he lost his balance, stumbled, and fell to the side.

The bucket was sprinkled all over the mountain road.

"You're still leaving, a little wayman, why don't you hurry up and help me? Are you blind? Zhang Shi said with some shame.

Li Xiuyuan, who was passing by, glanced at it, thought for a while, and said, "I don't dare to help you." ”

"Why?"

"I'm afraid you'll lie to me. ”

Zhang Shi said angrily: "If you don't be a thief, why are you afraid that I will slander you? Did you cast a spell just now to cause me to fall? It must be so, so you didn't dare to help me, I just said something disrespectful to you just now, you secretly cast a spell to harm me, it is really sinister, which one are you."

I heard that if you cast a spell in the mountain gate and harm the same sect, you will be driven out of the mountain gate, and if you cast a spell to harm me, he will definitely drive you down the mountain after I go back and tell the Purple Void Zhenren. ”

"......" Li Xiuyuan looked at him with a strange expression.

"Do you really have no shame in slandering a person like this? You fell down with your own weak feet, but you have to rely on me. ”

"I don't care, unless you help me carry twenty loads of water every day, otherwise I will inform Zixu Zhenren about this and let him drive you down the mountain. "Zhang Shi looks like I will never spare you.

Li Xiuyuan said: "You know it in your heart, why frame me with something unwarranted, even if this matter is reported to the Purple Void Zhenren, you can't escape the benefits, and go get two buckets of water again, don't rely on me if you can't complete the cultivation at that time." ”

He didn't want to talk much to this rich disciple, so he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

"Do you know who I am?" Zhang Shi said angrily, wanting to vent all the anger accumulated in the past ten days on this young Taoist.

He didn't dare to be disrespectful to other Taoist leaders, but this Li Xiuyuan was just a beginner with him, and his seniority was extremely low.

"Don't treat tolerance as idleness, you are in the mortal world and I am in the sky, it is rare to practice the Fa today, let go of grievances and seek immortals. If you really want to dwell on this matter, beware of losing the fairy fate and going down the mountain to go home. Li Xiuyuan replied lightly.

"You threaten me?" Zhang Shi said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's not to threaten you, but your ability to do the Tao is the lowest in the mountains, although you don't want to provoke right and wrong and be contaminated with cause and effect in your cultivation, but I am not a real Taoist person, if you mess around, I don't mind letting you taste my Lei Fa." ”

He stopped, looked back, and his eyes flashed with gold.

Above his head, it was dim in an instant, and a thunderbolt exploded on a sunny day, as if it sounded next to Zhang Shi's ears, and his eardrums buzzed.

He exclaimed in fright and sat down directly on the ground, with a look of fear in his eyes.

Although no thunder fell just now, it seemed to be immersive, and the thunder resounded on his body.

Seeing his panicked look, Li Xiuyuan laughed and turned to leave, "Now that I have entered the Dao Gate, there is no one in the mountains and forests, and I have cultivated the Peerless Method, and I should cut the blue sky and ancient pine." ”

He was idle and bored, and when the poetry of the reader became poetic, he couldn't help but recite a poem.

But before he had gone far, he heard a voice echoing: "Good poetry, good poetry, the literary style and sentences are mediocre, but there is a majestic ambition in the poem, this poem has courage, can you come up and meet for a while?"

"Huh?"

Li Xiuyuan's expression moved, and his steps froze.

This is the Taoist transmission of thousands of miles.

"Here it is. The voice sounded again, with a little smile, but saw a golden light appear in the mountain forest, and the golden light flew from the top of a certain mountain, galloped all the way, and fell to the ground and turned into a golden bridge.

It seemed to signal Li Xiuyuan to come along the golden bridge.

Li Xiuyuan thought about it for a while, but he didn't worry about anything, and his feet moved, stepping on the golden bridge.

But the next moment, the golden bridge shattered abruptly, collapsed in an instant, and turned into a little golden light and dissipated in the forest.

"Hehe, the path of a saint in the world is not something that my golden bridge can carry, it's rude, it's rude. The voice said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, since there are people in the Dao Gate who invite me, I will go over. Li Xiuyuan said that as soon as he took a step, he passed ten zhang, and a few steps, but his body quickly ran along the top of the mountain.

After staying a short distance, there was water vapor condensed under his feet, and then turned into an auspicious cloud, dragging him to the ground and flying towards the top of the mountain.

There is a gazebo at the top of the hill.

There is a stone platform in the pavilion, and on the stone platform there is a gray-haired, wrinkled old man, who holds a fishing rod, and the fishing line is submerged in the clouds, and he does not know where he has drifted.
