On this day, before dawn, Wu Zhen was meditating and sleeping in his room. Long Yu came directly in, disturbing him and waking him up.
"Master, my disciple has learned to be calm and indifferent to fame and wealth, but when will master plan to teach me Buddhist practice?"
Long Yu was very humble and his behavior was neither irritable nor impatient. However, a year had passed and Wu Zhen still had not taught him the secrets of Buddhism, which seemed to have almost worn out his patience.
"Good, good, what have you learned this year?" Monk Wu Zhen stretched his body, smiled calmly, and did not answer the question.
Long Yu replied respectfully:
"The disciple has learned how to meditate and how to be indifferent to fame and wealth. These days, the disciple has been working hard to cultivate his moral character, hoping to better understand Buddhism."
Monk Wu Zhen smiled and nodded:
"Good, good, you have entered Buddhism for the first time, but practicing Buddhism does not happen overnight. You need to continue to work hard and not slack off."
As he spoke, he waved his hand gently, and a golden light flew out from his palm, turning into three Buddhist scriptures.
"Surangama Sutra", "Huayan Sutra" and "Lotus Sutra" floated to Long Yu and took the Buddhist scriptures. There was a lot of haze in my heart. The endless recitation of the scriptures seemed to have no truth.
However, Master Wu Zhen continued: "Three scriptures contain the essence of the supreme Buddhist teachings, and are called the kings of scriptures. If you can study hard, you will naturally be able to solve the doubts in your heart. How much you can understand is up to you. Good fortune.”
After saying this, Wu Zhen continued to meditate with his eyes closed, like a sculpture, motionless and no longer speaking.
Long Yu burst into tears with gratitude: "Disciple must work harder to live up to master's high expectations."
After saying that, he turned around and left the room, and began to study it carefully.
Long Yu opened three Buddhist scriptures, still confused.
He had always thought that Buddhist practice was about power and mystery, but now it seemed that it was just endless chanting of scriptures. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but Master Wu Zhen's words gave him a glimmer of hope.
He opened the Shurangama Sutra, and the profound meaning of Buddhism suddenly appeared on the page.
Unable to see why, he immediately observed with the Immortal Wheel Taoist Eye and discovered a shocking secret. Every word and every sentence was full of wisdom and profound meaning, which made him immersed in it.
He seemed to have seen the scene of Buddha attaining enlightenment under the bodhi tree, and felt the supreme majesty of Buddhism.
He opened the "Huayan Sutra" again. The Buddhist teachings in it were even more profound and difficult to understand, but they were awe-inspiring.
He seemed to see an endless world, and every living being was liberated under the light of Buddhism.
He opened the Lotus Sutra, and suddenly his soul seemed to have left his body and transcended himself.
He seemed to be in an endless ocean of Dharma, and every word was like a wave surging with wisdom and profound mysteries.
He felt an unprecedented understanding, as if he had touched the essence of the great avenue of heaven and earth.
As soon as he sat down, he seemed to merge into the book and become one with it.
His soul seemed to be wandering in every word of this book, feeling endless wisdom and truth.
Day after day, he was immersed in the mystery of the Lotus Sutra and never stood up again.
Even one sentence seems to contain the great truth of heaven and earth, allowing him to continuously understand and improve his realm.
His state of mind became more and more peaceful, as if he was getting closer to the great road of heaven and earth.
…
Although Zi Yan from the Xuanling Temple also heard about Long Yu becoming a monk, she knew that the agreed time between the two was only one year away, so she was also practicing hard.
"Master, is this the supreme Xuanling Bible?"
Zi Yan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, because she had passed the "Eight Virtues" of the Xuanling Saint Examination, gained the power of supreme holiness, and her cultivation had reached the level of the Earth.
The master of Xuanling Temple, Lan Xiangqiao smiled and nodded:
"The Bible may seem ordinary, but it contains the great road between heaven and earth. To be precise, it is the supreme cultivation method of my Xuanling Temple. The middle part explains the similarities between the meridians of the human body and the stars, and how to penetrate oneself. To connect with the power of the stars and gain supreme power, it depends on your own understanding and creation."
After saying this, Lan Xiangqiao waved her slender hand, and the holy light suddenly appeared. Elbow cuffs and calf cuffs suddenly appeared on Zi Yan's arms and legs. They were golden, like armor, and very exquisite. She continued:
"This wrist guard is a defensive magic weapon. On the one hand, it can protect you, and on the other hand, it can temper your body. Each sheath weighs one kilogram, but it will add one kilogram of weight every day. From now on, regardless of You need to wear it all the time when eating, sleeping, and practicing, and you cannot take it off unless you are a teacher."
"Each...one person gains one pound per day?"
Hearing this, Zi Yan couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth and swallow secretly.
It doesn't sound like much, but when you think about it, it's scary. In other words, if you wear it for a hundred days, not counting your own weight, the weight will reach 400 kilograms. After one year, that will be more than a thousand kilograms. the weight of!
"Disciple, please obey your master's orders."
"Well, go ahead." Lan Xiangqiao waved her hand gently, "Before retreat, you need to memorize the Bible first."
Zi Yan nodded slightly, then opened the book and recited it with all her concentration.
Lan Xiangqiao and the protector slowly walked out of the gate of Xuanling Temple.
"Palace Master, is this a bit harsh on her?" After a long time, the protector asked tentatively.
Lan Xiang looked into the void with her beautiful eyes, took a deep breath, and murmured:
"Next year, Yan'er will face the playboy Long Haotian. This boy is gifted with evil talent, and he has suffered hardships that no one can do since he was a child. He is basically solid. Although Yan'er has caught up with her, But she lacks basic skills.”
Hearing this, the protector hesitated several times. She also knew that although this action was harsh, the cultivator's own body tempering was the foundation. If she had a close game with Long Haotian in the future, Zi Yan would still be You will suffer a loss, so I very much agree with the palace master’s approach.
Zi Yan's memory is very strong. After reading the Bible once, she has already recorded it word for word in her mind. Her lonely figure walked to the retreat room of the temple. The stone door buzzed and trembled, and it slowly opened. She Taking a deep breath, he walked straight in, and the stone door slammed shut.
Day after day.
Long Yu is still sitting at the altar table in front of the Buddha in the small temple. He has been sitting in meditation for a month now. He has not gotten up to go to the toilet, nor has he eaten a drop of rice. His shoulders, head, and whole body are already covered with a layer of There was dust, but he remained motionless, as if he were a sculpture.
There was an endless stream of pilgrims, all of whom were offering incense and kneeling before the Buddha to pray for blessings. Then they all took a closer look at the young monk Long Yu. Seeing that he was breathing weakly and seemed to be concentrating on reading the scriptures, they did not disturb him and left quietly. .
On this day, Long Yu was already as thin as a stick. After all, he had not eaten or drank for two months. Suddenly, his whole body was filled with golden light.
