Legend has it that one day a monk asked the Buddha why the prayer flags on the flagpole of the prayer altar moved. One said it was the wind, and the other said it was the flags. The Buddha held flowers in his hand and smiled: This is the heartbeat of a benevolent person.
Someone in later generations said: In this world, all changes are caused by thoughts in the heart. One thought arises, and thousands of rivers and mountains change. One thought dies, and the world changes.
If time is turned into a thought, someone will ask how long is the time between a thought? The Buddha said: One moment is one thought, and twenty thoughts are one moment. Twenty seconds are a snap of the fingers
Things in the world are constantly changing, and everything is at your fingertips.
Some people say that the vast universe is parallel.
Some people say that the vast starry sky can be traveled through black holes.
Some people also say that there are wormholes in the stars, through which one can travel through the long river of time.

However, for most people in Dongxuan Territory among the Five Territories, time is like a knife. Although most practitioners work hard all their lives and dream of breaking through the realm through practice and then have a long life, there is a time in life, and time is a sword. A knife.
A knife is faster than a knife.
But for Li Ye, time is a god.
Everyone in Fengyun City, which is located at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, knows that Li Ye's mother was pregnant with Li Ye for twelve months before she was born, creating a miracle in the Dongxuan Territory.
Twelve hours after he was born, Li Ye, lying in the cradle, was struck by lightning. The thunder that broke down from the house struck Xiao Li Ye's cradle, and the quilt of the cradle was shattered to pieces.
Li Ye also fell to the ground, his face was black, and his cries were earth-shattering. When the servant was giving him a bath, he discovered that there was a lotus mark on Li Ye's left arm. He carried it to show the master and his wife, who shocked the master and his wife.
The next day, everyone in Fengyun City knew that Li Ye in the academy was so tough that even thunder could not kill him.
After being born, most children in Dongxuan Territory learn to walk at eight months and talk at nine months, but Li Ye didn't learn to walk until he was twelve months old, and it took him two years to call him "Mother and Father." The family was anxious for two years, and the servants thought the master had given birth to a fool.
This incident has been circulated in the city as a story for several years among the bored people.
Later, when Li Ye was three years old, it took him twelve days to learn to write, and after twelve days he could write neat regular script.
Later, it took him twelve hours to memorize the thousand-character essay. The same article will take children in Fengyun City two months.
...
In the Chunfeng Academy in the east of Fengyun City. It’s just a simple academy, because the teachers in the academy only teach calligraphy and poetry, and the martial arts teaching only allows students to open up their meridians and practice their qi. No matter how advanced martial arts is, they have to go to a specialized martial arts academy or a large sect. I learned the art from a teacher.
The master of the hospital, Li Qingfeng, is respected by everyone in the world. My wife, Ye Zhiqiu, is called the dean’s wife in my studies. The Master was thirty-one, and his wife, Ye Zhiqiu, was twenty-five. In this year, the Master had a son in middle age, and the whole family was filled with joy.
Children in Chunfeng City begin their enlightenment education at the age of three. At the age of three, Li Ye can already memorize enlightenment articles such as Thousand Character Essay and Hundred Family Surnames. These are indeed regarded as monsters in the city.
On the night when Li Ye was struck by lightning, when the master was checking Li Ye's body, he discovered a huge secret. After being struck by lightning, the newly born Li Ye was a blessing in disguise, opening up all the twelve organs in his body. The Great Meridian is the legendary natural channel, which is a legendary miracle in the Five Realms. The lotus mark on Li Ye's left arm is even more unexplainable.
The master locked himself in the study and searched the classics for ten days, but could not find any relevant records, so he decided to keep the secret temporarily sealed and not tell anyone. He also decided not to let Li Ye practice martial arts for the time being. Although Mrs. He was also practicing, he knew that his Taoism was not enough for Li Ye to gain better enlightenment, so he could only wait for the arrival of a good teacher.
From the age of three to five, two years later, Li Ye was playing in the mud with the children in the city while reading. Unknowingly, he had read all the books in the academy. In the words of the master, there was no book for Li Ye. Read it at night.
The Master asked someone to come back from Fangcun Mountain in the Xixuan Territory and ask for a volume of the Ksitigarbha Sutra to be read to Li Ye on his fifth birthday. It only took Li Ye twelve days to memorize the entire sutra, and another twelve days to write the entire "Ksitigarbha Sutra" silently.
The master asked the butler Fu Bo to buy the best blank scroll, and Li Ye spent twelve days copying the entire scripture. Then it was donated to the Great Buddhist Temple in Fengyun City. The abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, the old monk Kuchan, was said to have burst into tears when he received the Buddhist scriptures offered by the Master, because there was no offering of this scripture at the Great Buddha Temple.
Out of gratitude, the old monk Kuchan went to the academy in person and saw Li Ye who was reading scriptures. He carefully observed Li Ye's face, carefully touched his meridians, and looked at the lotus mark on Li Ye's right arm.
For a long time, the old monk remained silent. Until the master asked the old monk to finish three courses of tea, and before leaving the house, the old monk reached out to pick up Li Ye, whispered softly in his ear, passed on Li Ye's six-character Buddhist mantra, and asked Li Ye to remember it every day Recite it a thousand times.
Li Ye nodded, clasped his hands together, and knelt down respectfully to salute the old monk, thanking him for teaching him the Dharma.
After Li Ye ran out to play, the old monk took another sip of tea, sighed, and said softly to the master: "Such a miracle, I don't know whether it is good or bad. The good thing is that this child has basically improved his spiritual practice. There are no obstacles on the road, but the bad thing is that if you break through the realm too quickly and the state of mind cannot keep up, it will become a moral mismatch and it is easy to go astray..."
"That's why I don't dare to teach him how to practice easily." The master replied respectfully.
The old monk thought for a while and said: "I have some friendship with Master Mo Yu from Zizhuyuan in the city. He was once the emperor's national advisor, and he came to Fengyun City to live in seclusion a few years ago. He entered Taoism with the piano, and his practice is better than mine Gao, I haven't accepted a disciple yet. Let me ask for you, if this child can practice with him, maybe he can turn disaster into good..."
When the master heard this, he was filled with joy and quickly bent down to salute the old monk. "This will bring trouble to the master."
The old monk put his hands together and returned the gift, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter. I also want to know the miracles this child has done after practicing."
After repeatedly warning the Master, the old monk got up and went out, looked at the sky, and left with his hands behind his back...
This year is the spring of 189 in the Xia Xuanli year of Wuyu.
...
In this year, he became a celebrity in Fengyun City again, because a poem he wrote shocked the whole city.
It is said that after noon that day, Li Ye followed the fat boy Tang Chao, Hu Ge and his sister Hu Xiaoju from the academy to watch the fish in the river on the stone bridge over the Liuhe River on the East Street of the city, thinking about how to catch them. Come up...
At the time when the carriages and horses of the General's Mansion were traveling in the city, pedestrians and vehicles all fled for a while.
When the carriage arrived at the stone bridge, a girl in red who was sitting in the carriage opened the curtain on the side of the carriage and stretched her head out, just in time to see Li Ye on the bridge.
At this time, Li Ye and his three friends also happened to see the little girl sitting in the carriage.
The little girl with two braids looked at the three children on the bridge who were talking about her, and gave Li Ye a hard look with disdain in her eyes.
Companion Hu Ge said to Li Ye: "Li Ye, that is Shangguan Wushuang, the princess of the General's Mansion, the little beauty in the city."
Li Ye, who was holding the straw in his mouth, looked at the little girl in the carriage and made a face. The little girl in the carriage responded by spitting at Li Ye.
Seeing this action, Xiao Liye became angry and wanted to curse.
Hu Ge's sister Hu Xiaoju rushed to say: "I heard from the servants in the general's mansion that Miss Shangguan is just like a swan in the sky!"
Hu Ge took over and said: "In the Tang Dynasty, his father wanted to propose marriage to the general's palace, but the general scolded him, saying that a toad wanted to eat swan meat."
Fatty Tang rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "When did my father go to propose marriage? Why didn't I know?"
Li Ye glanced at Tang Chao and patted his flesh to tell him not to be angry.
Looking at the Liuhe River under the stone bridge, he said softly: "You said that there are toads in the Liuhe River. Are there also toads in the Tianhe River?"
"Must have it!" the three little kids replied in unison.
Looking at the sky and then down at Liuhe, Li Ye took out a knife from his arms and started carving on the bluestone beside the railing of the stone bridge:
Toads are flying in the sky
The toad is chasing the ground
If you're worried that I can't fly
i have my butterfly
After a while, Li Ye put away the knife and said to the three friends: "This poem is called "Toad in the Sky""
Xiao Ju said in confusion: "Brother Ye, why is there a butterfly at the end?"
Li Ye looked at Xiaoju and said with a smile: "Butterflies have wings and can fly"!
Hahaha, the four little kids laughed loudly while chanting "Toad in the Sky". For a moment, it was like a little bird returning to the forest, trotting all the way back to its own home.
The next day, all the little kids in Fengyun City went crazy and spread the song "Toad in the Sky". On the fifth day, word spread among the adults in the city that Li Ye from the academy had carved a poem on the stone bridge of Liuhe River, alluding to the young lady in the general's mansion.
Someone with good intentions asked: Aren’t swans flying in the sky? The more thoughtful person replied: Since there are swans in the sky, why can't there be toads in the sky like on the ground? Everyone is laughing at this little brat from Chunfeng Academy who can write poems and curse people at a young age.
Tang Youyu, the father of the Tang Dynasty who was slapped in the face by the General's Palace, bought new tea and came to the academy to find his wife with a big belly, saying that he wanted to thank Li Ye for saving his life. Let Master accept this gift no matter what.
The master was speechless for a moment, so he could only chat with Tang Youyu for an hour and drank some new tea.
In the evening, the master called Li Ye over, asked about the situation, slapped the table and said, "Nonsense!".
He took off the ruler hanging on the wall, slapped his palms twenty times, and was banned from leaving the academy gate for one month.
Li Ye didn't cry even after being beaten. He just looked at the master with a grimace and asked, "Dad, I didn't name him."
The master was angry, glared at him and said, "Even so, that's not okay!"
"I'm not convinced." Li Ye replied.
"You don't need to obey!" The Master laughed angrily.
Madam Ye Zhiqiu came over and said with a smile: "Have you beaten enough? Let's go and eat."
Li Ye clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Mom, let's go have dinner."
