After the first snow in Luoyang City, the New Year will naturally end soon. Li Fuyao, who has not celebrated the New Year for many years, will naturally not leave before this.

Li’s father and mother are not young at all. This time, they left Luoyang City and didn’t know when they would be able to return here, so they were patient and stayed for a while.

In fact, staying in a certain place for a few more days is not very difficult, at least for Li Fuyao, that's it.

Where is not practice?

Besides, Li Fuyao needs to spend more time to practice steadily after entering the tower.

So he lived in Li's mansion.

In the days that followed, there was constant snow in Luoyang City, which was the biggest snow in recent years.

During this period, Li Fuyao went to the palace and had a conversation with Emperor Yanling for half an hour. Now the Emperor Yanling, who is already gray in his hair, is over the age of prosperity in the Spring and Autumn Period. I am afraid that it will not take long to leave the world like the old man.

The inheritance of the throne had already been granted. Li Fuyao did not ask much, but just talked to Emperor Yanling about his first meeting that year.

"To be honest, I never thought that you would become a swordsman climbing the tower one day. I think that as long as you are a swordsman in the morning and evening, it would be very useful to me and Luoyang City."

Emperor Yanling is already old and looks at Li Fuyao with memories in his eyes.

Yes, no one could have thought of some things, just like Emperor Yanling would have thought that one day he would see two Canghai in Luoyang City.

If you really have a peaceful day on the mountain, you can only be when both sides have similar strengths.

Li Fu shook his head, "Your Majesty's idea is actually very good, but if you want to push it to the entire mountain river in the future, you have to face the entire mountain monks. I am afraid that the swordsmen will be involved, which is actually very difficult."

Emperor Yanling nodded and smiled, "First of all, what will happen to Yanling in the world, I think it will come from a decision. In fact, the monks on the mountain are like you and Mr. Changgu, and it is actually no big deal."

Li Fuyao said no more, "Your Majesty is easy to go, I am still from Yanling."

He didn't know if Emperor Yanling would be alive next time he returned to Yanling, so he said this first.

Based on his realm, this sentence is not disrespectful.

Emperor Yanling waved his hand and cursed with a smile: "I have to live for more than a hundred years, so how could you die if you say you die?"

Li Fuyao smiled and left without saying a word.

Leaving the imperial study room, I was still walking in the heavy snow, and the familiar eunuch was still holding an umbrella, but many years have passed, and the eunuch has already grown some white hair.

Li Fuyao put a pill in his palm and said calmly: "You are half an old friend."

The latter thanked him in fear and carefully collected the pills in his hand.

When traveling with people like Ye Shengge, all you see are monks, so naturally you won’t sigh about time. However, when you return to Luoyang City, what you see is a group of mortals, so you will naturally feel a little touched.

When he walked to the palace gate, the little girl Cheng Mu had been waiting here for a long time. Since the old man's funeral was over, the little girl had moved to the Li Mansion. He said that he had finally met his uncle and wanted to stay with him for a longer time. Cheng Yusheng did not express any opinions on this. Many people in the Cheng Mansion were a little worried about whether the little girl would make Li Fuyao unhappy, which affected the relationship between the two families. However, later Li's father came to pick up the little girl himself, and no one said anything else.

Li Fuyao held up the umbrella, held the little girl's hand and walked in the heavy snow, and asked calmly: "Where is your mother, why haven't you come back yet?"

When talking about his mother, the little girl Cheng Mu looked frowning, "I have already written a letter to her mother before, telling her uncle that you are back, but my mother said that the mountain demon over there was a disaster and she really couldn't get rid of her for a while."

After the Yanling Dynasty had no monks from the academy, in the mountains and forests in the northern border, his own monks could only wipe out the mountain monsters. Li Xiaoxue's realm was not low, and he was a swordsman, which was the person in charge this time.

Li Fuyao nodded. In fact, it is hard to explain the practice. Some need to go into seclusion day after day, while others need to fight one battle after another.

Different.

Li Xiaoxue's swordsmanship is much higher than Li Fuyao, and it coincides with this great world. Chao Qingqiu returns the entire swordsman's fortune to the world, which is the greatest benefit for the swordsmen.

Li Xiaoxue should be able to move forward better in this world.

The two walked towards the Li Mansion, and Cheng Mu bit his lip, as if he had something to say. Did she look at Li Fuyao, as if she wanted something to let Li Fuyao know.

Li Fuyao glanced at Cheng Mu, but didn't speak. The two of them walked for a long time, and then Cheng Mu called out to his uncle in a low voice.

"What do you want to say?" Li Fuyao always treated his little niece with kindness.

Cheng Mu pinched the corner of his clothes and asked, "Uncle, if I don't practice, will I really leave the world before my father and mother?"

Li Fuyao didn't expect Cheng Mu to ask this. He looked at the little girl and said, "You have seen the soul of the old man. If you don't practice, you will be like this a hundred years later. But you don't have to worry. There is really such a day when my uncle will watch you reincarnate and will not cause you any problems."

A hundred years later, Li Fuyao may be a Canghai Sword Immortal. Looking at the soul of a mortal, there will naturally be no problems.

Cheng Mu said oh, wanting to thank him, but he felt something was wrong, and she seemed to be in a little depressed.

Li Fuyao said: "Cultivation has the benefits of practice, but naturally there are also disadvantages. If you practice swords, you will have to endure a lot of hardships. It is easier to follow the path of Confucianism and Taoism. But no matter what, after practicing, you can live a long time. It is just that you live too long, and you will be troubled naturally. In the days ahead, just like the days before, you will see the old man leaving the world and watching many people leave one by one. If you can go farther, in the end, all the people you know will leave, and you will be the only one left in the end."

Some literati wrote poems about loneliness, which were very thorough.

The child is holding a melon and willow shed, and the dog is chasing butterflies in the narrow alley. There are many laughter in the world, but I am left with my temples.

Later, someone carefully interpreted this poem, "The word "lonely" is separated, there are children, fruits, dogs, mosquitoes and flies, which are enough to support the entrance of an alley in the midsummer evening, full of humanity. Of course, children's fruits, cats, dogs, and flies are lively, but they have nothing to do with you. This is called loneliness."

Li Fuyao looked at Cheng Mu and said softly: "Uncle I heard that you didn't want to practice before, why is it?"

Cheng Mu did not answer this question, but instead said: "Uncle, after hearing what you said, I don't want to practice."

Li Fuyao nodded and smiled, "It's not a big deal, so if you don't practice, you won't practice."

In this matter, Li Fuyao had no intention of forcing it.

Cheng Mu hesitated and said, "But if I leave, my parents will be very sad."

For example, a girl of her age often thinks very directly.

However, Li Fuyao is not willing to force anything if he practices or not.

Li Fuyao didn't say anything more, but finally said that whether it was practicing or not, you had to think about it yourself.

...

...

Time is the most unbearable thing to think about, because when you are thinking about it, you will find that time has been moving forward for a long time.

Before the New Year, we celebrate the Laba Festival first. Every household in Luoyang City had to drink a bowl of Laba porridge. Li Fuyao was the same. He came out of the house and drank a bowl of Laba porridge with Li’s father and mother. Then he stayed for half a day, talked some gossip, and left alone. However, Cheng Mu came to Li Fuyao’s window and looked at her uncle for a long time.

Li Fuyao knew what she was going to come, but he didn't say anything.

"Uncle, I still don't want to practice."

Li Fuyao rubbed her head and said for no reason, "Your mother should be back before New Year's Eve."

Sure enough, after Li Fuyao said this, Li Xiaoxue rushed to Luoyang City the night before New Year's Eve. At that time, many people were setting firecrackers on the long street, and Cheng Mu and Li's father and mother were among them.

Li Fuyao sat on the threshold, looking at the lights in the distance, waiting for Li Xiaoxue, who had some vicissitudes of life on her face.

The latter thought about it and sat next to his brother.

Li Fuyao said straight to the point: "There is no end to practice, but have you ever thought about what step you should go?"

Li Xiaoxue held the Xiaoxue sword, thought for a while, then tilted her head and said, "Anyway, it's not as important as you, brother."

Li Fuyao said in a gentle voice: "Cultivation is for one person. As long as he is willing, he will walk forward. It's just that Cheng Mu only has a hundred years of time. He should take time to spend with her more so as not to leave any regrets."

Li Xiaoxue said in surprise: "I originally thought that after my brother, who is the uncle, would make Mu'er change his mind."

Li Fuyao looked complicated, "You really underestimate your daughter."

Li Xiaoxue was silent for a moment before whispering: "I know."

Li Fuyao was about to turn around and go to the house, but Li Xiaoxue said, "Is the woman your brother liked, Sister Ye or another woman?"

Li Fuyao turned his head to look at Li Xiaoxue, and he was a little confused.

Li Xiaoxue hasn't seen Ye Shengge for more than 20 years, and Li Fuyao didn't know why she asked such a question, at least in the current opinion, it shouldn't be.

Li Fuyao didn't say anything, and Li Xiaoxue said to herself: "Actually, Sister Ye is an excellent woman."

Back then, Ye Shengge took Li Xiaoxue with him almost every day, which left a great memory in Li Xiaoxue's memory. Even now, he knows that Ye Shengge is the peerless Taoist seed of Chen Xieshan, he still remembers what he used to be.

After saying this, Li Xiaoxue stepped into the house before Li Fuyao.

This made Li Fuyao smile bitterly.

But in the end, he said: "The woman I like is in the demon soil."

Li Xiaoxue laughed loudly and said, "I'm afraid I won't see my brother wearing a red robe in this life."

——

In the extreme north, in the sea of ​​ice.

Qinghuai stood alone on a huge ice cube, slowly heading north with the ice sea. It was deserted and was not suitable for living, but it was suitable for tempering itself.

The coldness invaded the body, making people feel very uncomfortable. Qinghuai walked up to a small iceberg, looking at the whiteness in front of her without any expression. She has been through this over the years. At first, her realm cultivation was much better than those of the young demon disciples of the same age. It was because of her hard practice. As for why she fell down in the end, it was because she was concerned about someone. Later, after putting her body and mind on her realm cultivation again, her entire realm cultivation naturally soon followed her.

So much so that now, it can be compared with Ye Shengge.

Ye Shengge's fast journey depends on her talent and bloodline. It is rare to see her practicing hard, but she cannot be denied.

Qinghuai has to put in more effort in hard work.

After sitting down, Qinghuai quickly closed her eyes. The worldly affairs began to have nothing to do with her at present.

I don’t know how long it takes to go into seclusion this time, but after it is over, it will definitely make her more stable in the realm of climbing the tower.

She didn't know that just when she was in seclusion in this extreme north, Ye Shengge went to the easternmost part of the world, with a sea to the north, a swamp to the south, and a forest to the east.

The Buddha Land is located at the westmost point. In fact, you don’t need to go there. You should know that the westmost point is a desert.

Such a forest, the end of it is cliffs and thick clouds.
