Dark golden thunder and lightning entered the body, and Li Ye's formless body decomposed and absorbed part of the dark golden lightning. At the same time, his body was slowly undergoing strange changes, causing the blood flowing in his body to gradually A hint of dark gold.
Li Ye's meridians were destroyed and quickly repaired. In the repeated process, his body and meridians became stronger.
Slowly, Li Ye's bones were also changing, and the bones in his body changed from the previous light gold to dark gold.
At this moment, earth-shaking changes took place in his body, and a golden elixir as big as a baby's fist was suspended in the center of his dantian.
The "Phaseless Dharma Body" in Li Ye's body was running, and the golden elixir rotated and trembled slightly, releasing a strong amount of elixir, which was sent into the meridians.
His injured meridians immediately welcomed a spring rain like dry seedlings, sprouting, breaking through the soil, and growing green leaves...
The realm of golden elixir refers to the practice of condensing the liquid Qi in the elixir field into golden elixir essence. When ordinary people first enter the golden elixir realm, some of the condensed golden elixirs are as big as a grain of rice, some are as big as a peanut, and some are as large as the size of a finger, which is a miracle in the spiritual world.
However, Li Ye looked inside his dantian and found that his golden elixir was as big as a baby's fist.
Since he had no experience in spiritual practice, he thought that this was the normal state of practice, so he was not surprised at all.
The simplest judgment of whether a cultivator can embark on the ultimate path of cultivation is whether he can break through from the foundation-building realm to the golden elixir realm. If he cannot even cultivate to the golden elixir realm, then he will basically be nothing in the future. The path to spiritual practice is cut off.
This is the cruelty of spiritual practice.
Li Ye stared blankly at the changes in his body. He saw that the blood swimming in his body and the two hundred and six piles of bones had a hint of dark gold. His heart was still light gold last time. This time, he broke through from foundation building to Golden elixir has changed so much.
This feeling cannot be described in words, he can only feel it slowly.
If the husband and the old monk from the Great Buddha Temple knew about the changes in his body before his eyes, even if their jaws were not frightened, they would have swallowed hard. This was no longer a sign of a monster, but a monster among monsters.
Even with the cultivation level of the distraction realm, I have never heard of anyone whose bones and blood turned into light gold, let alone his current dark gold color.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, the sun shone, and the sky was clear.
The old ape ran up to the stone platform with Xiaobai in his arms, and stared blankly at Li Ye who fell at the entrance of the cave.
At this time, Li Ye had turned into a black charred man, with no trace of his clothes left, and no grass on his head, turning into a charcoal-black human stick from head to toe.
Xiaobai ran to his side and screamed.
At this time, Li Ye had stopped chanting sutras, and the Buddha's light around him had dissipated. When he opened his eyes, he looked at Xiao Bai who was having fun at his feet, and then at the old ape who was approaching. He opened his mouth and asked, "Senior, What happened just now? Why was I struck by lightning again?"
The old ape looked at him with a smile and said softly: "Feel carefully the changes in the Dantian in your body."
Li Ye concentrated his energy and felt the true energy in his dantian, but he was startled. He looked at the old ape and said, "Senior, why is my full true energy missing? There is an extra golden fruit in my dantian."
"That's not a fruit, it's the golden elixir formed from the liquid Qi in your Dantian. From this moment on, you have broken through to the golden elixir. You are now a great practitioner in the world." The old ape said, stroking the beard on his chin.
Li Ye looked at the body that was charred by lightning and murmured softly: "Has this broken through? Has this broken through to the legendary golden elixir realm? It feels like a dream. I was beaten in a dream. Two lightning strikes, and you will wake up with a golden elixir."
The old ape waved to him, and Li Ye picked up Xiaobai on the ground and walked over. I saw the old ape grabbing his waist and running towards the river outside the woods.
After walking through the woods to the river, the old ape put Li Ye down and said softly: "Go down and wash yourself, put on clothes and we will talk in detail."
Li Ye nodded, turned around, and jumped into the cold river water.
Li Ye had hated the cold snow water before. The biting cold was a pain that could not be described in words.
Now that he was soaking in the river, he no longer felt that the snow in the river was as biting as before. He thought that his body had become more resistant to the cold after breaking through.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he stood up from the river and walked to the shore.
Old Yuan and Xiao Bai on the shore were dumbfounded when they looked at Li Ye after washing. They both opened their mouths and forgot to speak.
After a while, Xiaobai screamed at him; the old ape came over and stretched out his broad palm, gently touched his little face, and then remained silent...
Xiaobai whined at the river, signaling Li Ye to look into the river.
Li Ye was startled, let go of the old ape's hands, ran to the river and looked down, and was stunned for a moment.
I saw a small gray-black face reflected in the mirror-like river water. From the neck down, it was red and gray. Compared with the gray-black face, it was definitely snow-white...
Li Ye was startled, stretched out his hands, poured river water on his face, and rubbed his face desperately.
After rubbing it until the bones in his face hurt, he lowered his head and looked into the river again. I saw Yihe's little gray-black face still reflected on the calm river surface. Li Ye made a face unwillingly, and a face was reflected in the river.
Li Ye looked at the old ape with a speechless expression and said, "I only got this grimace after being hit by two lightning strikes. I have been hit by countless lightning strikes since I was born, and it never looks like this."
The old ape looked at him and didn't know how to comfort him.
Having practiced in Tianshan Mountain for hundreds of years, he had never seen anything like this before. He thought to himself that the child in front of him was indeed an extraordinary person. He suffered two tribulations in succession that could only be found in the realm of distraction, and his body fell apart. unexpected changes.
Lowering his head, Li Ye walked step by step towards the stone platform above the woods.
He was naked at the moment, and he was going to get his baggage and change into clothes.
The old ape greeted Xiao Bai, who was having fun by the river, and followed Li Ye, walking step by step towards the cave.
Li Ye had no choice but to go back to the front of the cave to find his baggage, and changed the only piece of clothing he took out. Looking at his white hands and thinking about his gray-black face, he walked towards the stone wall of the cave speechlessly.
The text just now seemed to be a sentence from a scripture, and he wanted to take a closer look.
He stretched out his hand and gently touched the words on the stone wall. Unexpectedly, the entire stone wall turned into dust the moment he touched it, revealing the cave inside.
After waving his hand to brush away the rising dust, Li Ye walked into the cave.
The entire cave is embedded in the entire mountain rock, with a radius of about three feet, as if it were made in nature. There is a flat stone platform and a smooth stone wall inside. There is a meditating human figure hidden on the stone wall.
There was a futon on the ground, and beside it were an oil lamp and a woven bamboo basket.
Li Ye walked forward and sat on the futon in lotus position and meditated. He saw a few words carved on the ground:
Get rid of all evil views and preserve your energy and soul.
Get some peace and quiet, think rightly and cultivate.
Faith, understanding and wisdom open the door to Prajna.
After repeating it softly and repeatedly for several times, I suddenly became enlightened and remembered the original essence of my practice of "The Formless Dharmakaya". I had already reached the state of distance and state in my practice, but I could not go further due to the incomplete mental dharma.
Having the appearance of self, the appearance of human beings, the appearance of living beings, and the appearance of living beings are the methods that I have practiced before, and what I want to practice in the future is: the appearance of no self, the appearance of no one, the appearance of sitting without living beings, and the appearance of lifeless persons.
I am sad because the two thunder tribulations turned my handsome face into a gray-black face. Isn’t it contrary to the Dharma that I practice? All appearances in the world should be without appearance. At this moment, he touched the threshold of no distance and finally took the legendary step.
I feel happy now and no longer feel sad about my appearance.
He lowered his body, kowtowed three times respectfully to the figure on the stone wall, and said, "Thank you, senior, for your explicit instructions, allowing this junior to step into the door of supreme cultivation."
When he finished kowtowing for the third time, the cotton balls on the ground turned into dust because they could no longer withstand the erosion of time. He felt a pain in his body and felt a hard object pressing against his thigh where he was sitting on the ground in meditation.
He stretched out his little hand and touched it under his feet. A cold object appeared in his hand. When he picked it up, he saw that it was an ordinary ring with some words engraved on it.
He put the ring between his fingers and gently wiped it clean on his sleeve. He felt that there was a circle of words engraved on the surface of the ring. He faced the light from the hole and gently read the words on the ring:
"Om, ah, hum, ban, za, ge, re, bei, ma, si, di, hum!"
Just after he finished reciting, the golden light rose in the cave, and the ring on his finger seemed to come alive, spinning in his crotch and giving off a faint golden light. There are also bursts of Buddhist sounds in the cave as Li Ye chants.
The old ape standing at the entrance of the cave looked at the golden light in the cave and pulled Xiaobai to kneel there and kowtow.
After Li Ye came back to his senses, he took out a handwritten scroll from the bamboo basket and opened it gently. He saw that it recorded some deeds of the owner of the cave. It turned out to be a monk from Fangcun Mountain in the Xixuan Region, Fa. He practiced here for more than a hundred years, and in the last ten years when he faced the wall, he finally realized the Tao, broke through nine tribulations, and left the void.
The ring in his hand turned out to be the same space ring as Mu Mu's. The owner stated that since he had broken the void, he should give up everything in this world, leaving behind the Buddhist scriptures and many treasures of skills that he had practiced all his life, so that he could go into the cave to meet his destined person. Get it.
"The ring in the futon must be activated by chanting the twelve mantras of Buddhism. After activation, only the person who chants the sutra can use it. The Buddhist sutras and many treasures inside will be given to those who are destined."
After reading the last line, the book in my hand turned into ashes, as if it had been waiting here for a hundred years just for Li Ye at this time.
Li Ye felt grateful and kowtowed three more times to the figure on the cave wall. Then recited the six-character mantra and the twelve-character mantra several times. Then he stood up and left the cave.
As he walked, he released the ring in his finger that was sensed by his spiritual sense. With a thought, he put the bag in his hand into the space in the ring.
Looking at the old ape kneeling on the ground, Li Ye quickly stepped forward to help him up and said softly: "The cave is the place of practice of an enlightened monk who has left. Some Buddhist teachings and teachings are left behind. Honey, I will share it with you after I study it tomorrow."
Xiaobai got up from the ground and gathered around his feet to have fun. Seeing Li Ye who was no longer sad, he felt very happy in his heart.
"Li Ye agrees to the request made by the senior before. He has decided to practice here and stay with the senior for at least one year. He will recite scriptures for the senior and all sentient beings every day to repay the kindness of the senior."
The old ape was so happy that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Li Ye before saying, "On behalf of all the living beings in Tianshan Mountain and on behalf of my descendants, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Young for his kindness."
From now on, Mr. Little will practice in this cave, and I will bring my children and grandchildren here to listen to Mr. Little’s teachings every day.
After saying this, he stretched out his broad palm and pulled Li Ye out. He wanted to take Li Ye and Xiaobai back to the cave where the apes lived to celebrate the great news.
Li Ye will preach Dharma and chant sutras here for a year. He and his descendants will have many opportunities to cultivate the great path, transform into apes, break through the legendary realm, and go to another world.
