Li Ye slept until dark, looking at the heavy rain outside the shed and the empty chairs beside him, thinking that the rain would not stop tonight, and they probably would not come.
Xiaobai, who was lying on the ground, roared a few times.
Then he reached out his hand, slapped its butt, and scolded it with a smile: "You foodie, when will you make some progress?"
"The dried meat will be gone after a few more meals. From now on, you have to become a vegetarian with me. Find some wild vegetables and mushrooms from the mountains and cook rice together."
Li Ye missed his husband a little. If he were here, he would definitely be able to find his way back.
If Xiaoqing finds herself, she can also find her way back.
I only blame myself for being impulsive and forgetting to mark the mountains. I don’t know how many mountains I climbed over, but I didn’t remember the way back.
Take out the dried meat, tear it into two pieces, and hand one piece to Xiaobai.
He continued to lie on the bamboo chair, closed his eyes, and thought about how he could integrate the different kinds of Qi in his body, and how many hours he could hold on during the flash flood after the rain stopped.
The heavy rain in the sky has turned from heavy rain to light rain, pattering on the roof with bamboo slices and bark. It reminded him of sitting in the front hall of his husband in Fengyun City and listening to the wind and rain blowing on the purple bamboo in the courtyard. sound.
He couldn't help but whisper softly:
The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot flowers in the Ming Dynasty.
The small building listened to the spring rain all night, and the deep alleys sold apricot flowers in the Ming Dynasty. He liked the spring apricot flowers in Fengyun City the most. In the morning after the storm, he took Agui to walk to his husband's yard. The spring breeze and the fragrance of apricot flowers all the way... ....
That night, neither the old wolf nor the apes came to disturb Li Ye. Only Xiaobai, who had eaten his fill, lay on another bamboo chair with his eyes closed, quietly accompanying him.
When it was almost midnight, the moon climbed up in the sky, containing the wind and rain of the day.
After sleeping all afternoon, Li Ye sat up and looked at the Xia Xuanyue in the sky. He calmed down and began to chant the "Ksitigarbha Sutra".
Not sure if the old ape and his descendants at the foot of the mountain could hear it, but he still read it softly.
What Li Ye didn't know was that since Poxu Monk's awe-inspiring righteousness entered his body, every time he chanted sutras, his voice could break through clouds and barriers and be transmitted to a place ten miles away.
When the wolves on the mountain stream heard his voice, they all got up, looked up at the moon, and pricked up their ears to listen.
The old ape and his descendants in the cave at the foot of the mountain woke up from their dreams. Each of them imitated the old ape's appearance, sitting cross-legged on the ground and listening carefully to the Buddha's voice coming from the mountain.
Xiaobai also woke up from his dream, opened his eyes, listened carefully to the sutra with his ears erect.
After the heavy rain, the air in Tianshan was unusually fresh, and the mountain breeze carried the faint fragrance of flowers, gently blowing Li Ye who was chanting sutras.
After his thin body rolled in the river and mountain torrents for several days, Li Ye's state did not improve at all, but the recovery speed of his energy and the golden elixir in his dantian improved by leaps and bounds.
Although there is still a very long distance from Po Dan Zai Ying.
But it was precisely because of the days he left the wooden house that he practiced hard in the heavy rain, in the climbing of the hundred-foot cliff, in the cave of Poxu Monk, and in the cold river of Tianshan Mountain. and mental training.
Let his golden elixir realm and the physical body of the "Phaseless Dharma Body" be like burning in the fire, reborn, and the realm of his whole body is like the stubborn stone on the Tianshan Mountain, extremely hard.
It was already midnight when he finished reciting the sutra. He raised his head and looked at the sky outside the shed. The moon in the sky had disappeared, revealing a sky full of stars.
Xiaobai, who was sitting on the bamboo chair next to him, had fallen into a deep sleep, snoring softly.
In the late night of this moonlit night, Li Ye sat on a bamboo chair in the wooden shed, thinking and analyzing his physical condition carefully, and made some assumptions about the changes in his body and state of mind after his husband left. A detailed combing was done.
Just as he carefully combed Mu Mu's two black braids for the first time, he melted those mental gains into actual existence in his body, just like the golden elixir in his dantian.
When the sun rose, the old ape came to the wooden shed carrying a basket of wild fruits. He looked at Li Ye who was meditating with his eyes slightly closed, and said with a smile: "Why, you didn't sleep last night?"
Li Ye opened his eyes and looked at the old ape sitting on the chair, stood up and saluted.
He gently replied: "Junior is thinking about some of the gains he has gained from practicing hard these days, and how to turn those invisible practices into something visible in the body, such as the true energy in the elixir. For example , how can I survive the flash flood for a longer period of time."
The old ape lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, he looked at him and said, "After all, you are too young, and your body and body structure are there. No matter how hard you practice, you can't be as strong as me. "
"If you practice the same Buddhist scriptures, practice is a long-term thing, and it is impossible to achieve results overnight. As long as you master the secret of practicing in rivers and mountain torrents now, you can slowly gain enlightenment in the days to come. , find opportunities to practice again and again. Didn’t you say that practice is a personal matter? "
"The path of a practitioner is so long, why should it be completed in just a few months or a year? From the revelation you gave me, let me understand a truth: the end is not the goal, the scenery is always on the road of your practice. "
After saying that, the old ape took out a fruit from the basket, put it in his mouth and nibbled it gently.
The path of a practitioner is so long, why should it be completed in such a short time! The end is not the goal, the scenery is always on the way.
While Li Ye murmured and repeated what the old ape said, he thought that he had unknowingly fallen in love with the phase, thinking only of breaking through his realm and conquering the rivers and mountain torrents in front of him.
However, given my current state, not only could I not conquer this river, but how difficult would it be to find the way home?
The future is long, so why rush?
I told the old ape through Buddhist teachings that all living beings have no form and that all forms can enter the Tao, but I almost took the wrong direction.
If one thing is clear, everything will be clear.
One Dharma can pass, all Dharmas can pass.
The zhen qi in Li Ye's body was quietly merging. He had been thinking hard about how to fuse the zhen qi in his body before, but at this moment, it was running rapidly. The two broken qi were flowing towards each other. Rushed over.
It was only at this moment that the Haoran Zhenqi of Poxu Monk was completely integrated with the Danyuan Zhenqi in his Dantian, turning into the Haoran Danyuan Zhenqi of his own Dantian.
The true energy in the Twelve Sutras is like a mountain torrent outside the woods, flowing towards one's Ren and Du meridians.
There was a white cyclone above his head, spinning rapidly, like a whirlpool in a mountain torrent getting bigger and bigger. Li Ye, who had just broken through the realm not long ago, ushered in another breakthrough after he understood the various principles of practice.
The breath of heaven and earth in the rushing mountain torrent and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the woods gathered from all directions and poured into Li Ye's body.
The old ape sitting on the bamboo chair was shocked. It was not because of Li Ye's rapid breakthrough, but because he did not expect that his aura of breaking through a small realm would be more powerful than his own aura when he broke through a large realm.
At this moment, not only was there a white true cyclone nest around Li Ye, but the "Phaseless Dharma Body" in his body was also running rapidly. The golden lotus on his back was pouring out golden Buddha light. In a moment, the Buddha light spread throughout the wood. The sheds spread out all around.
The old ape, bathed in the Buddha's light, closed his eyes, stood up and sat cross-legged, chanting softly, whether praying or chanting sutras.
The golden elixir in Li Ye's Dantian was larger than the size of a baby's fist before. There were two dark golden lines engraved on it. The elixir in Ren and Du's two veins was like a river flowing to the sea. With a "boom", the embankment broke. And out.
At this moment, Li Ye, who had broken through to the golden elixir realm, broke through again and reached the second level of the golden elixir realm when his state of mind improved.
Another step towards the highest realm he pursued.
The whole process lasted for an hour, and then the true energy and Buddha's light around him slowly dispersed and returned to its previous appearance.
The old ape also woke up from his trance, looked at Li Ye and murmured: "I didn't expect that not long after you entered the golden elixir, you broke through again. You are truly a god."
"My husband said that I only need to work hard to cultivate my own state of mind. As long as the state of mind is enough, the state of practice will naturally break through. I didn't understand it very well before, but today I really understand this truth. It is not enough to have a state of mind in practice, only the supreme state. Only when you have a state of mind can you achieve breakthroughs in supreme practice.”
"The mind has no boundaries and the body has no distance. This is what it means."
Li Ye stood up. Looking at the Tianshan Mountain outside the shed and laughing, he had seen the moment when he broke through after obtaining the "Shadowless Dharmakaya" mental method.
He said hello to the old ape behind him, picked up the iron sword, and ran towards the river outside the woods.
It was too late to enjoy the joy of breaking through, so he wanted to jump into the rushing mountain torrent before fighting again.
After the rain stopped, the flash flood became gentler and no longer as fierce as yesterday.
When he ran to the river, he took off his linen clothes and shoes, leaving only his close-fitting iron armor, and jumped barefoot into the mountain torrent.
Step by step, he moved to the center of the river with great difficulty. He exerted his strength under his feet and tried to stabilize himself in the flash flood. He had already thought about how to face the unknown risks of flash floods yesterday.
The true energy in his Dantian gathered, he closed his eyes, calmed down, and released his spiritual consciousness. He wanted to face the mountain torrent in front of him in the same way as Mu Mu's sword.
At the second level of the Golden Core, his consciousness has been greatly improved, and his true energy has been condensed much more than before. He can clearly see every broken piece rushing towards him and every branch caught in the mountain torrent. ...
The true energy of the right arm gathers, and the iron sword in the hand thrusts in and out, picks left and right, washes flat, diagonally, up, and down. When encountering the gravel rushing towards you, use the iron sword to click and collapse it. .
Mountain torrents kept hitting his thin body, but he always focused his consciousness on the torrent in front of him, trying his best to avoid the danger one by one.
The branches and gravel in the torrent were like the leaf sword flying out of Mu Mu's hand, and they shattered one by one when he swung his iron sword.
There is a poem that goes like this: Drunk, I beheaded the long whale with the sword leaning on the sky, I laughed and rode the terrifying waves to support the boat in Sichuan.
It is a true portrayal of Li Ye dancing with his sword in the flash flood.
At this moment, Li Ye was full of pride. His goal was no longer the fallen leaf sword requested by his husband. He wanted to practice his own swordsmanship.
A swordsmanship that is both fierce and gentle.
It combines the ferocious mountain torrents of the Tianshan Mountains with the gentleness of the Tianshan Mountains' glacier water. It is a swordsmanship that can cut through wind and waves, break mountains and split water.
A swordsmanship that only belongs to him.
