As Hunyun expected, the remaining spiritual energy was enough for Li Xiaobai to make a breakthrough. After half an hour of practicing Qi, Li Xiaobai had become a monk on the second level of Qi refining.
"Congratulations, junior sister!"
"Congratulations, Master!"
Everyone congratulated him, and Li Xiaobai also had a bright smile on his face, trying his best to suppress the smile on his face. She walked up to Hunyun, looked at him intently, and said softly: "Thank you, senior brother, for your help!"
"There is no need to be so polite between you and me, brothers and sisters." Hunyun replied with a smile. He looked at Li Sansheng and saw that he also had a happy face. He was happy for Li Xiaobai, so he let go of his thoughts.
It is said that throughout the ages, there have been many ascetics who would do whatever it takes to achieve their own goals, and some even went so far as to kill their relatives. This kind of person may not feel it at ordinary times, but once the opportunity comes, it will be exposed immediately.
Hunyun didn't want such people to appear around him, so he took every opportunity to observe them carefully. Fortunately, Li Sansheng was not the one. Zhichen's expression changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. It's no wonder that he is already old and has only a few years left, so he may have an even stronger desire for a breakthrough in his cultivation. Let's see, if he could, he wouldn't be stingy with one or two opportunities. After all, the old monk can be regarded as his leader.
Xuanwei and Xifei have been watching each other for more than a thousand years in the Zhuge Immortal Mountain. Although they are not from the same sect, they are already better than the same sect.
Just like this time, when there was a slight disturbance, he rushed over in a hurry. Thinking about himself again, since the economy improved, he rarely went to Xifei Temple. I was obviously neglecting myself! The old monk may have noticed it, so he rarely came down. But the friendship between them will not diminish because of this.
"Senior Brother You are coming down the mountain!" Hunyun greeted him with a smile.
"Amitabha~, my junior brother's situation is really enviable! I didn't expect that in less than half a year, my junior brother has reached such a state. Your senior brother's practice in the past few decades has been wasted."
"Senior brother, this is a sign. Junior brother is in the current situation. First, it is due to the guidance of senior brother all the time. Second, it is also due to luck and chance." Hunyun saw that the old monk Zhichen's state of mind was a little broken. This is not good. For an elderly monk like him, once there is a problem with his mentality, his body will immediately appear abnormal. If you can't adjust, you will really be in big trouble, so he pointed out the problem at the beginning of his words.
"That's good! That's good! Senior brother has indeed caught the eye." Zhichen clasped his hands together and silently recited the "Diamond Sutra" in his heart to calm his mind. To be honest, he realized that he didn't have much time left. If there was no chance to go further, he would only persist for more than ten years at most, but the successor to the mantle was still missing.
He even wanted to call out Li Xiaobai just now, hoping that his junior brother Hunyun would give this opportunity to him, but he restrained himself.
The old monk felt a little ashamed! For decades, he originally thought that he had become as calm as water, but he didn't expect that his self-control was still so insufficient when it came to his only obsession.
It is true that the clouds were rising too fast. In less than half a year, he had grown from a junior disciple who needed his care to a level comparable to his junior uncle Jun'an, which made his mentality a little unbearable. . If he hadn't seen the opportunity early and restrained his inner ape immediately, he might have been taken advantage of by his inner demon.
One thought can lead to Buddhahood, and one thought can lead to devilhood. Buddhas and devils have the same origin. They are just a person who is good at controlling his own heart, empty of all four elements, and an external mind that is good at seducing others, full of desires. It's just that whether Buddha or demon, they are all good at controlling people, and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect them. Moreover, after thousands of years of struggle, demons began to restrain their demonic nature, and began to compete with Buddhism for faith. Everyone in the world is born in mortal form, and there is no way to tell which one is a Buddha and which one is a demon. The prosperity of Buddhism begins from this!
Back to business.
After congratulating each other, Li Sansheng said goodbye to Hunyun and Zhichen and returned to his Three Treasures Temple. I didn't have any luggage when I came, so it was extremely convenient when I left. I left empty-handed.
Li Xiaobai is a little sentimental. Although she is also a Taoist, she is still a woman after all. If you say it is normal, this can be considered normal. He didn't know the reason until the afternoon. Before Li Sansheng left, he took care of Li Xiaobai and his disciples, and asked them to go back after the tenth day of the lunar month.
Xuanwei's transformation is imminent and will start after the tenth day of the lunar month. This is the information revealed by Jia Xinlan during a chat yesterday. Zhang Xinling saw that her master had been in a low mood all day, so she told him.
"I think my master understands my master's intentions. No matter what, please advise her!"
Hunyun sighed and agreed. Only then did he realize that Li Xiaobai's jealousy in the morning was not because of Li Sansheng's departure, but because he was feeling sorry for himself. Women are emotional animals. Once they are emotional, they will become difficult to control themselves. Unlike men, as long as they are not looking for beauty, they will generally be rational.
Hunyun had just walked out of the wall of marriage and had tasted the sweetness and bitterness of it. Now that he had cultivated Taoism, he didn't want to go back in again. He noticed Li Xiaobai's thoughts from the moment she fell in love with her. Although he didn't avoid her, he always kept a certain distance. He only regarded her as his junior sister. He would teach her carefully in his spare time, but many times, he would Stay away intentionally. Li Xiaobai is an intellectual woman. She has practiced Taoism for a long time and her Taoist heart has become stable. In his opinion, as long as she understands the truth, she will understand and the love disaster will naturally pass.
It’s a pity that it seems like it’s getting deeper and deeper.
Li Xiaobai is practicing the art of moving alone. In the mountains and forests, even on steep cliffs, as long as bamboo trees grow, they can no longer limit her pace. Against the background of a Taoist robe, she looks as graceful as a fairy from the Nine Heavens.
Seeing Hunyun approaching, she stopped and jumped onto a green bamboo in front of him. She bent the bamboo branch as thick as her forearm down and landed just in front of him. Li Xiaobai smiled sweetly. "Senior brother, do you think I've mastered my flying skills?"
"Well, the young is better than the old!" Hunyun praised.
Hunyun, this is not a lie. He used this movement technique mainly to rush on the road, and did not pay attention to any details. Soon after, he practiced the wind control technique, and he had long forgotten this technique of movement. How could someone like Li Xiaobai pay attention to all kinds of details and study postures and movements. She is as graceful as a startled dragon, and her body is like a flying swallow. If she didn't have the mind to enter concentration, people of all ages might be attracted to her.
"That's not because you taught me well, senior brother!" Li Xiaobai looked at Hunyun with deep concern, his eyebrows like autumn silk, soft and refreshing. Hunyun was also stunned for a moment, but soon woke up.
"Fairy!" Fairies and fairies are just like Buddha and demons, there is only a thin line between them. If your concentration is weak, you will be confused by it and find it difficult to escape. Li Xiaobai had already been deeply in love with Hunyun, and he unconsciously used a flattering look between his smiles and frowns, making him even more difficult to guard against.
Facing Li Xiaobai like this, Hunyun couldn't resist. It would be a lie to say that he is still unmoved at this time. Men are basically the same. Even if they cultivate the Tao and refine their minds, they still find it difficult to resist the temptation of beauty. For example, Tang Sanzang, who had been reincarnated for ten lives and had deep roots in Buddhism, met his daughter, the king of the country, and almost fell into a state of sinking in a cold sweat. Sanzang has a firm Buddhist heart, but Hunyun has been hurt by love and does not want to sink again, so he can be considered a firm stand.
So he remained calm and lightly praised: "Junior sister has good understanding! Senior brother, I don't dare to take credit."
"By the way, I heard from Xin Ling that you are going back after the Spring Festival. I will give you a piece of wind control talisman. It contains the wind control technique and can support you to control the wind for a short period of time. You and I are my brothers and sisters. It’s fate that we met each other.”
"Brother, I have to leave for a trip to spend time with my daughter and meet my family. I will leave Xuan Wei to you."
Hunyun felt that he was running away, although he had already planned to go back to spend a few days with his daughter during the Spring Festival to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
When he divorced Lu Lin, the one who suffered the most was his daughter. Originally, Hunyun planned to let her stay in the Taoist temple for a while, but she didn't know if she was not used to living there, so there was nothing he could do.
