Walking on South Street, he found a food stall, treated Tang Chao and the others to a bowl of jelly, and chatted with a few people for a while, before Li Ye led Agui away.
It was almost midnight, and I looked at the sky. Instead of going to my husband's yard, I walked along South Street to my home.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw the master and his wife standing in the corridor talking. Li Ye wondered what his parents were doing standing here.
Then he stepped forward and asked, "Dad, Mom, you two are not staying in the house. What are you doing standing on the porch?"
When Ye Zhiqiu saw that his son was back, he quickly wiped his eyes with the silk scarf in his hand and said, "It's so early to come back today... It's okay to go to the house to talk."
After speaking, he took Li Ye's hand with a look of reluctance.
The husband also shook his head, thinking that this woman was just soft-hearted.
When Agui saw the seriousness of the plot, he didn't say anything and followed him obediently.
The four of them arrived at the flower hall, and Agui went to pour tea. Madam pulled Li Ye to sit next to her, with a doting look on her face, and touched Li Ye's head with her hand.
Then he said slowly: "You came back just after the gentleman left. Didn't you meet him on the way?"
Li Ye raised his head and looked at Ye Zhiqiu in confusion. "Mom, sir, is there something important for you to come here? I came from South Street and didn't see you."
The Master just looked at the tea in his hand and remained silent.
Ye Zhiqiu sighed and said, "Sir, he said he would go to Tianshan early tomorrow morning. Seeing that you didn't go to the academy, he came to our house to look for you."
"My husband said he plans to go out before the sun rises. We need to get to the place where we spend the night before dark, so we have to hurry."
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at his master, thinking that he should give some advice to his son.
The Master looked at the Madam's eyes and knew what she wanted to say, so he ignored her and just said to Li Ye: "Follow Sir, nothing will happen. It's just a barren mountain. You have to learn to take care of yourself."
Li Ye's heart tightened, was he thinking so quickly? No wonder I felt uncomfortable in Jinbao Pavilion today.
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's sad look, Li Ye took her hand and said, "Mother, my son's cultivation level is already very high now. It's hard to get better results in the city or in the Great Buddha Temple, so I have to Go to Tianshan Mountain to practice."
The Master also comforted his woman and said, "Ye'er is right. His body is naturally different. Reading an omnipotent book is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."
Ye Zhiqiu sighed, looked at your two sons, and said, "I understand all these principles, but I feel uncomfortable in my heart. Ye'er has grown up and has never left me outside the city."
After saying that, he took out a silk scarf and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Li Ye hugged Ye Zhiqiu and smiled. "Mother, father, if you two feel bored, give me a sister. These two little sisters call me brother every day when they see me. I also want to have a sister of my own, love her and protect her."
When Lin Pengru heard this, she couldn't help but laugh, pinched Li Ye's ears and said, "You are so young, how can you think of all this?"
The solemn atmosphere in the flower hall was broken by Li Ye's words.
The master looked at Agui who was standing aside and said with a smile: "Go to the kitchen and make more delicious food tonight. I don't know how long it will take to eat it when I leave."
Ye Zhiqiu also nodded, with a blush on his face, thinking that after tonight, his son would go to the mountains to endure hardships and make more delicious food.
Seeing his mother's words to him make him blush, Li Ye also felt a little happy.
However, when he took out the wooden box from his arms, there was a hint of melancholy on his face.
I knew that the road was high and the road was long, and I didn’t know when we would be able to meet the two of them again. He couldn't help but hum softly:
It comes like flowing water and passes like wind. I don’t know where it came from and where it ended.
...
Singing softly and humming, back and forth several times.
The originally joyful atmosphere of the flower hall was suddenly tinged with solemnity.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at his son, thinking how could he feel sad about separation at such a young age?
After thinking about it, he pulled Li Ye over and asked softly: "Ye'er, why don't you ask Agui to invite Wushuang and Yu'er to have dinner and talk together at home?"
Li Ye thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, how about meeting each other once, there will always be a time to part ways."
After speaking, he took out the cloth bag, counted one hundred gold coins from it, and placed it on the table.
Pulling Lin Yueru, she said, "I gave some to the master and husband of the Great Buddha Temple, the two princesses and Hu Ge, and I will keep the rest for my mother."
Lin Yueru didn't want it, so she patted Li Ye's little hand and said, "You are so young, there is no reason to give your mother money."
Looking at his mother, Li Ye said softly: "I still have dozens of coins. Besides, when I go to Tianshan with my husband, I have no place to spend the money. You and your father don't make any money in the academy, and you are still repaying it."
"My son can earn money, so of course he can spend it on his mother. Take these first, and when I come back, I will give them to you and my father after I earn them."
When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he almost shed tears, thinking that his son was already sensible and matured too quickly. Before I could fully enjoy the joy of childhood, I grew up in the blink of an eye.
The master sat drinking tea with a look of relief on his face, thinking that his son was really good.
Watching his mother put away the gold coins, Li Ye opened the wooden box on the table, took out two brocade bags from his chest, and pushed them both in front of Lin Yueru.
"These are the two pieces of Ruyi jade I bought at Jinbao Pavilion today. I wanted to give them to them personally, but it seems that I will trouble my mother."
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at his son and gently took out a piece of Ruyi from the box. He saw that the whole body of warm white jade was dotted with a piece of emerald green, with the eyes of a phoenix carved on it.
Turning over the back, I saw a line of regular script engraved on it:
A stranger is like jade
I was shocked. I put down this piece and took out another piece. I saw the same texture, but the green embellishment was replaced by a lotus flower. On the back was engraved:
The gentleman is unparalleled
When Ye Zhiqiu saw it, he couldn't help but shed tears. He wondered what was going on in his son's heart. He could write such a poem.
He read softly: "The people in Mo are like jade, and the gentlemen are unparalleled in the world."
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, he pushed the wooden box in front of the master.
The master picked up a piece of jade Ruyi, looked at it carefully, and was speechless.
At this moment, silence is better than sound.
Li Ye looked at the sky outside the flower hall and softly chanted:
Her hands are as delicate as jade, and light makeup is better than applying it.
Introduce you into the incense hall and talk about the present and the past.
The people on the road are like jade, and the gentlemen are like no other in the world.
...
"The one with the lotus carved on it should be given to Senior Sister, and the other piece should be given to Dongfang Yu'er. The two bags are given by the shopkeeper of Jinbao Pavilion, one for each person."
"The gentleman who wants to prepare has already prepared it. Mother can just find me two thicker clothes. Please trouble mother." Li Ye took Ye Zhiqiu's hand.
Ye Zhiqiu, with red eyes, said: "We have clothes ready-made at home. I'll wrap them up for you after dinner. You need to eat more at night. There's nothing edible in the wild mountains today."
While she was worried about her son, she thought of the two young ladies and thought that although these two little guys usually like to quarrel with their sons, if they learn that their sons have left without saying goodbye tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they don’t know when they will come back. , will he cry like a little cat?
The most painful thing in life is parting, and the parting is indefinite.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but hold Li Ye in his arms, feeling sorry for his son who had to endure separation at such a young age.
The sunlight outside the flower hall quietly shines on the floor under the eaves. The cicada on the tree seems to know that the end of autumn is the end of its life, and it is chirping desperately.
There is a breeze blowing through the trees...
Li Ye, who was being held by Ye Zhiqiu, broke away from his mother's arms and walked to the eaves outside the flower hall. He looked at the setting sun in the west and listened to the chirping of cicadas in the garden, and suddenly he felt enlightened.
Just like this, standing in the sunset, like a statue.
The cicada on the tree is like the setting sun in the west. It knows that it has a short life, so it will burn out the glory of life in its last days.
Just like a mayfly, although it lives and dies in a short period of time, it must try its best to complete birth, growth, mating...reproduction, and then grow old in a short period of time...
The Buddha said that dying towards life is inevitable in life, but living towards death is the sublimation of life.
The sentient beings on the path of spiritual practice and the monks in the Great Buddha Temple have practiced hard for a lifetime and have understood the unbreakable destiny of life and death. However, when Li Ye was separated from the girl who had not yet realized his love, he inadvertently Exploration.
Li Ye was chanting the six-character mantra softly in his mouth. He felt that the true energy in his body was out of his control. A stream of heat rushed out of his dantian, went straight up to Baihui, and then rose into the sky.
Lin Yueru and Fuzi saw a white airflow suddenly appear on Li Ye's head like a whirlpool, growing from small to large, spinning faster and faster.
And Li Ye's small body was still glowing with a layer of golden Buddha light, just like the Buddha in the hall, extremely solemn.
Before he was separated from his family, Li Ye realized life and death from the chirping of cicadas, and actually allowed his realm to break through to the fourth level of foundation building.
The teacher said that Li Ye does not need to deliberately improve his spiritual realm, but to cultivate his mental state. Once the mental state is reached, the state will naturally break through.
Li Ye, who was overflowing with water, murmured softly:
Die to life, live to death.
Li Ye just stood there quietly.
The spreading Buddha light illuminated the flower hall, and also illuminated the Master and Ye Zhiqiu.
Seeing their son standing there, they broke through the realm of spiritual practice. The couple were stunned.
Every time the practitioners in Fengyun City, including Master and Ye Zhiqiu, managed to reach a breakthrough state, they found a quiet place and prepared various elixirs before they felt relieved.
He is no longer like his own son, talking, thinking, standing there and breaking through.
After half an hour, the swirl on Li Ye's head and the Buddha's light on his body slowly dissipated.
Turning back and looking at his parents in a daze, Li Ye smiled sheepishly, walked over, hugged Lin Yueru and said, "Mom, the child just broke through accidentally. The teacher said it's nothing, it's normal."
Ye Zhiqiu touched Li Ye's head and said, "Tell me honestly today, where is your current level of cultivation?"
Li Ye glanced at the Master and said carefully: "I remember that my father seems to be at the second level of foundation building, and my mother is at the first level, right?"
Master and Lin Yueru nodded, then stared at Li Ye.
"I'm only two to three levels higher than you two elders. Don't talk nonsense outside. I practice Buddhism. Others think that my cultivation level is only three to four levels at most."
"My teacher said that spiritual practice is a very personal matter. It is not worth comparing with others, nor should you show off in front of others."
"The master of the Great Buddha Temple also said that Buddhism should focus on cultivating the mind. When I come back from Tianshan Mountain, I have to go to the temple to practice Buddhism with him."
Li Ye slowly said what was on his mind, then picked up the teacup in front of Ye Zhiqiu and drank it all in one gulp.
Xindao inadvertently broke through to a new level, so that I can walk around in Tianshan Mountain without my husband being my nanny.
...
As for the young lady from the General's Mansion, she has been extremely anxious these past two days. Ever since she knew that Li Ye was going to Tianshan to practice with her husband, she wanted to spend more time with him. Otherwise, she didn't know how long it would take this guy to go deep into the mountains.
However, things didn't go as planned. After lunch that day, she was about to sneak out of the general's mansion. Before she could go out, someone called her from behind.
"Wushuang, stop! Where do you want to go?"
Looking back, Jingyun, who had been in seclusion for a long time, came out of seclusion and looked at her seriously.
"Master, you are finally out of seclusion. I miss you so much." The young lady still has the ability to act coquettishly.
Xu Jingyun came forward and held the young lady's ears, and said angrily: "You also know that it's been a long time since we last saw each other. I told you about your practice. How are you practicing?"
When the young lady heard this, she was upset. These days, she was either playing with Dongfang Yu'er or going to Li Ye's house to learn some worldly etiquette from Ye Zhiqiu. She had no time to practice kung fu.
He rolled his eyes and had an idea.
While crying out in pain, he said: "Li Ye's master, Mr. Mo, gave me a practice book and told me to practice well. I looked at it and found that there are some things I don't understand in it, waiting for you, master, to come up with it." Let me take a look."
Before he finished speaking, he took the master's hand and ran to where he lived to show Xu Jingyun the "Qingluan Ningzhu" given by Li Ye.
Xu Jingyun took the little sister's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll see you tomorrow. I haven't been out for a long time. Please accompany me to stroll around this garden. In a few days, the flowers in the garden will wither."
