With the help of the old ape, Li Ye found a place where mushrooms grew lushly on the grass on a hillside above the glacier.
If there is water and sun in the Tianshan Mountains, mushrooms will grow.
He and Xiaobai spent three days exploring the hillside full of mushrooms.
After picking countless baskets and finally leaving a quarter of the mushrooms as seeds for next year, I returned to the cliff outside the cave.
This time, not only did they pick enough mushrooms for the next summer, but they were also lucky enough to dig out a lot of wild ginseng and polygonatum in the virgin forest not far from the hillside. This was an extremely unexpected harvest.
Taking advantage of the strong autumn sunshine, he and Xiaobai spread the picked mushrooms, wild ginseng, and polygonatum on the stone slabs of Yaping to dry in the sun.
From time to time, Xiaobai flipped the half-dried food with his mouth, whining and screaming: Finally, he will not go hungry again this winter.
The old wolf, who had listened to Buddhist scriptures for several months, led his pack to catch some wild boars for Li Ye and the young wolf. The wolves worked together to drag the hill-like wild boars to the cliff flat.
After Xiaobai told Old Wolf that Li Ye had finished eating the dried meat, Old Wolf was thinking about how to prepare Li Ye and Little Wolf for the winter.
Li Ye asked the old ape to come over for help, and took Xiaobai with him. He worked for three days before he separated the wild boars, cut them into slices of meat, and dried them on the hemp ropes around the shed.
Bring the remaining skeleton and minced meat to the barbecue to comfort the old wolf and the old ape.
The broth, which had been cooked for five days, made the old wolf and his children and grandchildren salivate. They still felt lucky to be able to enjoy delicious food with Li Ye every day.
After finishing the last meal of broth, Li Ye looked at the old wolf and the old ape lying on the chairs and said: "Next, in addition to going to the water pool to practice, I will also write the complete Buddhist scriptures on the stone wall of this cave. Carve it down and leave it to your descendants so that they can continue to inherit the Dharma after you leave."
"In the coming days, I will be chanting much slower than usual. You should listen carefully, or ask your enlightened children and grandchildren to come to the cave to learn from me. We will explain the principles that you cannot understand on ordinary days. Let me tell you."
"Because once I leave Tianshan, the road ahead will be long. I really don't know which year or day I will be able to return here."
"Just like when I left the wooden house where I practiced, I just wanted to look around and pick some herbs. I didn't expect that I would live here for a year or more."
The old ape and the old ape looked at each other, nodded, and said that they would go back and choose smart ones among their children and grandchildren, and follow Li Ye to practice Buddhism. As for fate, it depends on each individual’s practice.
As soon as night fell that day, Li Ye began to lecture on the scriptures on the rock flat. From the opening chapter of the Ksitigarbha Sutra, to the essence of the upper and lower volumes, as well as the supreme aspirations of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he explained them one by one to those gathered around the cliff flat. The old ape and the ape group, the old wolf and the ruthless group.
He usually finished reciting the sutras in less than two hours, but that night it took him more than three hours. It was not until midnight that he finished reciting all the sutras.
...
All things have spirits, and all living beings have the heart to worship Buddha. In the Saha world, there are gods of the sea, rivers, rivers, trees, mountains, earth, rivers and lakes, crops, day, night, sky, sky, food and drink, plants and trees, and so on. Bless you and wait.
With a wave of his hand, Li Ye dismissed the people who were kneeling on the ground listening, fell down on the bamboo chair, and wanted to sleep.
Only tonight did he understand what the old monk of the Great Buddha Temple once told him: "Preaching the sutras is the most labor-intensive thing."
I don’t feel tired when reciting the sutras on weekdays, but today I was extremely tired when I lectured on the sutras.
It seems that my practice of Buddhism is shallow after all, and I need to explore its profound meaning in detail in the future.
At this time, he had some understanding of the sentence in the Lotus Sutra left by Monk Poxu: The husband uses the spiritual mountain to bring down the spirit, and no one but a great sage can enlighten him.
It seems that once things are done in the mountains, I will calm down and start practicing the Lotus Sutra, and continue to pursue the boundless essence of Buddhism.
Looking at Xiao Bai lying on the bamboo chair and snoring, I don't know when this naughty guy will become wise and stop talking to himself alone.
There is no moon in the sky outside the shed, only bright stars.
Lying on the bamboo chair, in the quiet night, you can hear the sound of the waterfall outside the woods entering the pool, and the snoring of the big and small apes on the cliff above the pool.
Counting the days, I came out from late spring and now it is past early autumn.
I don’t know if the gentleman on the top of the mountain has returned, or if Mu Mu and Xiao Qing at the bottom of the mountain have come to the cabin to look for me, and I don’t know if the child in my mother’s belly is a younger brother or a younger sister.
I don’t know if the young lady and Dongfang Yu’er who are thousands of miles away are getting what they want.
The Buddha said: If you keep it in mind, there will be repercussions. But there is not a day when I forget the person I miss, so why is there no response?
He wanted to keep thinking about it, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he finally fell into a deep sleep.
...
The early morning in the Tianshan Mountains is as fresh as the wooden house beside the Fairy Peak. There are glaciers and snowy water all the way down from the Tianshan Mountains. The mountain wind carries the only fragrance of flowers in autumn to the shed on the stone flat.
Li Ye was holding a bowl of white porridge, blowing on the hot air and drinking it gently.
Xiaobai grimaced, looking disgusted.
"I will go to the Great Buddha Temple to practice in the future, and then I will go to the Fangcun Mountain Temple in the Western Regions to practice. There are all vegetarian monks and there is no meat to eat. I think you should stay in Tianshan honestly, so that you don't have to endure the hardships with me. ”
Li Ye looked at Xiaobai with a grimace on his face and knew what he was thinking.
If you say anything unpleasant, you must explain it to it in advance.
Xiaobai, who had a grimace on his face, whimpered twice, quickly jumped off the chair, and ran away with a bowl of porridge in his arms.
That means: I was wrong and I will listen to you from now on. Do you want to drive me away? no way.
After drinking the porridge, Li Ye lay on the bamboo chair and rested for half an hour, looking at the sunrise. Then he picked up the Ruoshui Black Sword in his hand, walked out of the shed and walked towards the pool under the waterfall.
When Xiao Bai saw it, he jumped up from his chair and ran away as fast as Li Ye. This foodie wanted to mix fruits on the cliff above the pool.
Now Li Ye stood on the big rock in the cold pool. He no longer wore iron armor to protect himself. He was just under the waterfall with his bare arms, slashing the sword in his hand towards the rapids of the glacier flowing down.
He no longer needs to deliberately run the "Phaseless Dharma Body" to protect his body. Since Poxu Monk's Haoran Zhenqi merged with the Danyuan Zhenqi in his Dantian, his Danyuan Zhenqi has become Haoran Zhenqi. gas.
It is purer than my own true energy and the awe-inspiring righteousness of Poxu Monk.
He has been thinking about what is the true meaning of the Supreme Good as Water, although he has figured out some truths. Not fully understood yet.
Looking at the sword in his hand, he wondered whether the superb swordsmanship was like the water of the cold pool and glacier, able to flow through all things in the Tianshan Mountains without violently colliding with them.
Because it does not have its own normal state, it can change the shape of its passage according to the foreign objects blocking it in front, so that it can pass through in the direction of the void in front of it.
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that this is:
Water benefits all things without fighting! He is disliked by everyone, so he is close to the Tao.
With joy in my heart, I exerted my strength in my hands, and an incomparable sword energy passed through the heavy mist, sandwiched between the cold river water, and slashed towards the water of the cold pool...
I saw a huge white mist, combined with the boundless sword energy, rising straight to the sky over the cold pool, forming a dazzling landscape.
It shocked the old ape and Xiaobai who were eating the fruit, and frightened the apes and their grandchildren who were having fun.
...
In the flash of lightning and fire, the entire pool stopped flowing and the deep pool bottomed out.
Li Ye was stunned as he stood on the stone in the pond.
What shocked him was not the sword he slashed out, but a cyan shadow in the boundless water mist that rushed down and flew towards himself at the bottom of the pool.
...
Before he could recover, a blue bird stood firmly on the bank of the pool with a "flutter".
In just an instant, the blue bird's wings flapped twice, transforming into Xiao Qing in a blue skirt, looking at him fiercely with a pair of beautiful big eyes.
"What do you want to do? Use a broken sword to kill people!" Xiao Qing was still angry and stared at Li Ye.
The boundless water mist in the sky fell heavily, and Li Ye, who was standing on the stone in a daze, was rushed to the bottom of the pond.
In a moment, the waterfall in the pool resumed its previous rush.
Li Ye climbed up from the bottom of the pool, ignoring the pain on his body, climbed up to the shore, took Xiaoqing's hand, cried and laughed: "Niannian, niannian, finally there is an echo! Hahaha!! "
Xiao Qing was frightened by Li Ye's actions, touched his head and said: "Are you stupid in practicing swordsmanship? Who is Nian Nian? Who is Hui Hui? Why are you hacking at the sky? If I didn't practice enough, I would be dead soon." Let me chop you to death with one sword."
Li Ye wiped his tears and smiled: "Nian Nian is Xiao Qing, Hui Hui is also Xiao Qing! Hahaha, I finally waited for you to come to me."
Li Ye, who was giggling, took a hand towel and wiped the water stains on his body, put on his armor and clothes, put on his shoes, took Xiao Qing's little hand and ran to the shed on the waterfall.
Yes, he was running. Li Ye, who usually paid attention to his cultivation, was running at this moment.
While running, he shouted to Ping: "Xiao Bai, hurry up and ask for some fruits from your seniors."
The old ape and the little white on the cliff were both stunned, wondering why this was happening.
Without daring to ask any more questions, the old ape ordered his children and grandchildren to get some fruits, and then headed towards the cave above the waterfall with Xiaobai.
By the time they arrived at the shed, Li Ye had already held Xiao Qing's hand, sat on the chair and kept talking.
She kept rubbing Li Ye's face with one of her little hands, nagging: "How long has it been since I last saw you? Why do you make yourself as black as a monster in the mountains?"
When Li Ye heard this, he also touched his face and said: "When I broke through the realm a few days ago, I was struck twice by thunder, and that's what happened. I guess it will be better next time when I break through to Nascent Soul. ."
"If Mu Mu finds out about this, she will definitely not recognize you as her brother." Xiao Qing pouted.
"Don't tell the people at the bottom of the mountain yet. I'll tell them myself later so they don't worry about me."
"Besides, does appearance matter? When you were a blue bird, I didn't dislike you either? Now you are starting to dislike me." Li Ye murmured back.
Outside the shed, the old ape led Xiaobai in.
Looking at the old ape and Xiaobai approaching, Li Ye introduced: "Senior, this is my good friend Xiaoqing. This is the senior ape from Tianshan. Many of my fates depend on him. This is my New partner Xiaobai."
The old ape looked at Xiao Qing, who was like a porcelain doll, and laughed and said: "The little gentleman is so depressed here. He faces us living beings in the Tianshan Mountains every day. He misses you day and night."
Xiaobai whined twice, looking at Xiaoqing's cute appearance, he placed the bamboo basket he was holding in his mouth on the bamboo chair and let Li Qing eat the fruit.
Xiao Qing stretched out her hand, picked up Xiao Bai, looked at Li Ye and said, "This little guy is so cute, can you give it to me and Mu Mu?"
Li Ye was stunned, thinking that this foodie knew how to play, curled his lips and said: "Whatever, as long as it wants to, I have no problem."
Xiaobai lay in Xiaoqing's arms, lowered his head and licked Xiaoqing's hand, thinking in his mind: Should he follow this cute blue bird, or continue to follow Li Ye.
It took half an hour for Li Ye to tell Xiao Qing why he came here, why he met Xiao Bai and Lao Yuan, and why he couldn't go back.
Then he fell back and lay down on the stone slab to rest and recover.
Only then did Xiao Qing understand why he couldn't find Li Ye after months of searching. It turned out that this guy had lost his way and couldn't find the way back.
Taking a fruit from the bamboo basket and chewing it, Xiaoqing nodded and said, "It seems I have to thank you for the sword strike today. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to see you standing under the pool if I were flying in the sky. "
"I miss you day and night! Last night, I was still thinking about why I haven't seen you come to me for a long time. I didn't expect you to come to me today. I will roast a barbecue for you in a while. I promise to let you satisfy."
Li Ye, who was lying on Li, murmured.
Xiaobai also raised his head and whined a few times.
