Chapter 511: The Return of the Old Man
After not seeing each other for forty-five years, the house number in Ding'an City and the couplets on the door really have the meaning of the vicissitudes of a century-old store.
The sun shines through the heavy leaves of the big tree on the roadside and shines on the four characters.
Nangong Ruyu, who was filled with joy as she was struck by lightning, pulled Li Xiuyuan's sleeve and murmured over and over again: "Master, you are my master Li Ye."
Xiaoqing and Xiaolonger looked at Nangong Ruyu's expression in disbelief.
Xiao Long'er stepped forward and stood on tiptoes, stretched out his hand to touch Nangong Ruyu's forehead, and chuckled: "Sister, are you sick? Brother, hasn't he always been your master?"
Xiaoqing also looked at her in disbelief and said with a smile: "Sister, are you dreaming?"
While Li Xiuyuan was bowing his head in deep thought, Xiao Hong, who came out of the backyard, looked at Li Xiuyuan standing at the door and smiled: "Master is back... Where did these three little girls come from?"
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he pointed at the three of them and introduced: "This is my sister Xiao Long'er, my junior sister Xiao Qing, and my disciple Nangong Ruyu. Let's all call them sister Xiaohong..."
With just one sentence, Li Xiuyuan handed the reins of the wildebeest in his hand to Xiao Hong.
The three girls all said hello to Xiao Hong, and then walked to the backyard amidst laughter.
When the three of them came to sit down at the tea table under the eaves of the backyard, Nangong Ruyu murmured: "Master, even this brewing shed is exactly the same as the one in Xuantian Temple and Prajna Temple."
After Xiaoqing looked around, he exclaimed: "I can't believe this backyard is so big?"
Li Xiuyuan took Xiao Long'er to sit down next to him, lit a fire and boiled water, and said to Xiao Qing: "Your Qingfeng Sword was forged here. There was also a Tingyu Sword, and I gave it to the people in Ding'an City.
I’m an apprentice.”
Then he looked at Nangong Ruyu and said, "I'll talk about everything after I recover my memory."
Nangong Ruyu looked at him and said, "Qingfeng Tingyu Sword? It's so artistic... Xiaoqing, show me your sword."
Xiaoqing looked at her and curled her lips and said, "It's not like you haven't seen her before."
Having said that, he still took out the Qingfeng Sword in his hand and handed it over.
Nangong Ruyu gently pulled it out, looked at the circles of cloud patterns on it, turned around and asked Li Xiuyuan: "Master, why did the Zhanxue sword that my master made for me back then have no cloud patterns?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looked at her and said, "I don't know about this. In the worst case, if I find the materials later, I will make another one and give it to you."
When Nangong Ruyu heard this, she nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "This one was made by my master, keep it. I'll wait for the master to make another one for me."
When Xiao Long'er heard this, he laughed and said: "Xiao Long'er wants it too."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan touched her little head and said: "When we go to the Shura battlefield, there will definitely be good materials. As long as there are materials, I will cast one for you two each when I have free time."
Xiao Qing looked at Li Xiuyuan who was putting the tea leaves into the purple sand, and murmured: "So you are so good at making swords. It seems that the sword of Junior Brother Wei Qing is not your first time casting?"
Li Xiuyuan poured hot tea for the three girls, shook his head and said: "You and the teacher both know that I have some memory deficiencies. I don't know what happened before, but that was my first casting in the academy."
The four of them were chatting when Xiao Hong came in after finishing their work in the front yard, looked at him and asked: "Master, what are you going to eat for lunch? There are not enough vegetables in the store, do you want Xiao Hong to go buy some vegetables?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at Xiao Qing and said, "Let's eat the meat you brought for lunch and let Xiao Hong cook it."
When Xiaoqing heard this, she looked at Xiaohong and laughed: "Sister Xiaohong, I brought good things for you to eat." After saying that, she took out a large piece of monster meat and carried it to the kitchen.
When Xiaohong saw it, she couldn't help but ask: "Master, are you going to the wilderness to hunt? Do you want to ask your sister to come with you? She misses you every day."
"No, I'll take her to the lake to eat in the evening."
Li Xiuyuan also wanted to take the three girls to the small shop by the lake to see the shopkeeper and waiters there.
...
Xiao Hong and Xiao Qing were cooking in the house, while Xiao Long'er and Nangong Ruyu couldn't help but run to the front counter and sit down, wanting to try out what it was like to be a wine seller.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and let the two of them fight in front. He held a cup of tea and sat under the eaves of the backyard, looking at the talismans in the stone bricks on the courtyard wall with a proud smile on his lips.
It has been forty-five years in the blink of an eye. Although the winery has been renovated several times under Li Qiushui's help, the stone wall in the backyard has never been touched.
But the meaning of the rune hidden in the stone wall has always been silently guarding this small world.
A world that belongs to him and Xiaohong Li Qiushui.
No matter how strong the wind and rain is in the world, it cannot blow into the drunkenness of life, dreams and death in the wine shop.
It was already late after lunch, Li Xiuyuan stayed alone in the store, and Xiaohong took the three girls to go shopping.
After practicing in Wolong Mountain for some time, the three girls were already exhausted. Especially Xiao Longer, who was clamoring to buy food and dresses.
Only Xiaohong looked at the three girls and said with a smile: "I will only buy food today. I will ask the eldest sister to take you to get the dress tomorrow."
"Who is the eldest sister?" Xiao Long'er looked at Xiao Hong and asked.
"The eldest sister is the eldest sister." Xiaohong laughed when she heard this: "You can see her at night. With the eldest sister here, where do you spend money to buy a dress?"
The four girls went shopping hand in hand to buy food, but Li Xiuyuan sat in the shop and stared at the scriptures on the wall in a daze.
In my mind, if I replace this wooden board with iron wood and carve a scripture with that flaming sword spirit, will there be a kind of smoke and fire, hundreds of years of vicissitudes, or the sword spirit is about to break through the air?
What does it mean?
Just when he was obsessed with how his two sword powers blended together, Ximen Guxing followed Huangfu Qingmei with square steps, and Shi Shiran walked in.
The two of them just had a meal at home, and they couldn't help but rush over as if they were being burned by fire.
I have endured it for forty-five years and I don’t want to endure it anymore.
This is Ximen Lone Star's idea and Huangfu Qingmei's meaning.
Looking at the wolf-like couple, Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said, "Are you two here to buy wine? I'm sorry, the shopkeeper took my sister to go shopping."
"Stop being so nagging, hurry up and get the wine. I've been waiting for it for forty-five years, you know."
Ximen Lone Star looked at him like a wild wolf that had been hungry for several days, looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Even Huangfu Qingmei's eyes sparkled.
When we met again after forty-five years, although I and Ximen Lone Star had already entered the post-poxu era, they were inevitably stained by the wind and frost of the years.
But the boy who is now the same age is still the same boy as before, even more handsome.
Huangfu Qingmei didn't know how many times she described the guy in front of her in her mind, but she didn't expect that this guy actually took off his mask and walked into Ding'an City generously.
How arrogant!
Li Xiuyuan sighed, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a dimple appeared.
Looking at Huangfu Qingmei, he asked: "How are you two currently practicing? Do you dare to taste the poison I accidentally brewed?"
When Huangfu Qingmei heard this, it seemed as if he could turn back time and return to that afternoon when he chased Ximen Lone Star and came to Ding'an to meet the guy in front of him.
I couldn't help but said softly: "Don't harm my husband and wife... I am at the eighth level now, and Lone Star is at the seventh level."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he sighed helplessly: "Where is your princess Mengdie? How old is she and what kind of cultivation is she? Why didn't you bring her here today?"
When Ximen Guxing heard this, he glanced at Huangfu Qingmei, thought for a while and replied, "Die'er went to Fucheng and will come back with her grandmother and aunt in a few days."
"Is that so?"
When he thought of Zhuang Wan'er's appearance back then, Li Xiuyuan's mouth turned upward... He quietly took out a small jar of apricot flower wine, turned around, took two cups and put them on the counter.
Silently, he poured wine for them and took a plate of peanuts and placed them in front of them.
He said softly: "This is the wine I made on Luoxia Mountain. I spent a lot of time planting apricot flowers all over the mountain and picked the petals to make it. You two can have a try."
Huangfu Qingmei looked at the amber wine in the glass. There was a faint floral fragrance mixed with the wine, and she couldn't help but take a gentle sniff under her nose.
Ximen Lone Star directly picked it up and took a sip. He looked at him blankly and asked, "Is this the taste of apricot blossoms? Is this the poisonous wine you mentioned?"
"This is just the wine I made to drink. There is nothing else but apricot blossoms."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, turned around and took another cup, pouring half a cup into it. "My poisonous wine that penetrates the intestines is too strong, I'm afraid you two won't be able to tolerate it."
Huangfu Qingmei picked up the wine glass and took a sip. She suddenly felt the aroma in her mouth and couldn't help but take another sip. Then her tense face bloomed like an apricot blossom in spring.
"Anything else? I'll buy any number of spiritual stones."
Breaking her previous reserve, Huangfu Qingmei finally shamelessly looked at the hateful guy in front of her and said what she thought was the most tacky thing.
Li Xiuyuan looked at this incredibly beautiful woman in front of him and thought to himself that after becoming a mother, you will finally have the flavor of a woman.
Quietly, he took two slices of preserved peach and placed a small plate in front of the two of them.
When Ximen Lone Star saw it, he immediately felt angry and shouted: "Are you so stingy?"
Even Huangfu Qingmei, who had just smiled like a spring flower, couldn't help but frown slightly.
Li Xiuyuan sighed softly: "You two are distinguished guests of the shop...I'll treat you to this peach meat and wine...With your level, I'm afraid you can only bear one piece."
.”
No matter how decisive he was back then, even though Li Xiuyuan did not admit that he was Shura now, he could not erase those feelings.
So the three of them started playing riddles.
When Huangfu Guxing heard this, he quickly grabbed one piece and handed it to Huangfu Zhilan, then stuffed the other piece into his mouth. Are you kidding, this is a treasure that can help him break through.
With his trust in Li Xiuyuan, he bit into it and swallowed it without thinking.
Huangfu Qingmei believed in Li Xiuyuan, so she took a bite, and then asked quietly: "Where did this treasure come from? Is there anything else?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and smiled: "I can't give it to you if I have it. You are just my drinkers, so you must be content."
When Ximen Guxing heard this, he slapped the table angrily and said, "What you said makes me want to curse."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, pointed to the door following him and said: "Please come in for a drink. If you want to get angry and curse others, go home. Don't scare the customers who buy wine for a while."
Huangfu Qingmei looked at him and was silent for a moment, then said: "It's too boring for us to just stay here. We have been suppressing and not daring to practice all these years. We finally looked forward to the Shura battlefield. He is so excited."
Li Xiuyuan frowned and said, "Believe me, even if you break through to the cave immediately after entering the Shura battlefield, you will only die if you are careless."
"Is it that scary?" Ximen Lone Star looked at him and said, "So, all practitioners who enter will have a narrow escape from death. Don't scare me, I'm a coward."
"You can choose not to go, stay at home and practice quietly. Maybe one day you can realize the opportunity to break through the realm and ascend, and you don't have to take the road to heaven."
