Su Qingyue has been in Dongfang Mansion for more than half a year. Under her supervision, Dongfang Yu'er's realm finally broke through the foundation building, and under the catalysis of the spiritual pill, she broke through to the fourth level of foundation building. He is considered a practicing genius in Dongxuan Domain.
For more than half a year, Su Qingyue not only taught Dongfang Yu'er to practice Qi, but also found two maids to practice sword practice with her.
She found Dongfang Yu'er the most common iron sword in the house, and then asked the two maids to take turns shooting arrows at Dongfang Yu'er. From the initial arrows without arrowheads made of reed, to the later bamboo arrows made of bamboo.
From the beginning, she could not catch the reed arrows shot by a maid, but now she can use the iron sword in her hand to cut off two bamboo arrows shot at her at the same time.
From winter to spring, and from summer to autumn, she practiced archery with her two maids.
Su Qingyue did not teach her a single sword technique. In her words, when she can cut off five bamboo arrows that were shot at her at the same time, she can practice sword techniques.
During the more than half a year when Dongfang Yu'er practiced hard in the wind and rain, Su Qingyue must have sat in the flower hall and watched quietly, not allowing her to be lazy in the slightest.
At this time, she would either have a pot of tea or a desk in front of her. Dongfang Yu'er had never seen her master practicing before. When he saw her, besides drinking tea, she was writing in the same regular script as Li Ye.
After practicing for the day, the young lady wiped her sweat and murmured, and returned to the teahouse to watch the master write.
Su Qingyue, who was writing, saw Dongfang Yu'er walking over, so she stopped writing, put the wolf hair in her hand on the sand inkstone, looked down at the words she had written, turned around and asked the young lady: "Yu'er? Come here, what do you think of this calligraphy written by me?"
Dongfang Yu'er walked forward and looked at the small regular script on the desk, only to see that it read:
The floating boat comes to the Fen River,
The flow in the middle is full of waves.
The flutes and drums are singing,
There is a lot of joy and a lot of sadness.
The young lady shook her head and said: "My disciple is lazy and his handwriting has always been ugly. My father and mother have scolded me many times for this. In my opinion, as long as it is clean and tidy, it is excellent."
Su Qingyue withdrew her gaze, looked at her and said, "What you said is just perfunctory as a teacher. I see that every time you practice "Qingluan Condensation", you read it very carefully, and you often laugh secretly while reading it. Why is that?”
Dongfang Yu'er looked at the master with bright big eyes, lowered her head and thought: "That guy's handwriting is naturally the best. I think my aunt spent 500 gold coins to buy a poem he wrote. ."
Su Qingyue carefully tasted the meaning of her words and joked: "You said he is the little boy in Fengyun City? I seem to have heard your mother say that. It seems that he occupies a lot of space in your heart." Important location.”
"But I also heard your mother say that the level of his cultivation is very low. You are already at the fourth level. It won't be long before you reach the golden elixir level. Once you reach the golden elixir level, you will be a great practitioner. You will leave the Nascent Soul level. It’s not very far.”
"If he hasn't even broken through the Foundation Establishment Realm at that time, then you are destined to be people in two different worlds. How will you live together then? Have you ever thought about these things seriously?"
Dongfang Yu'er was stunned. Ever since she returned to the Territory Lord's Mansion, she had been thinking about nothing more than tea and food, and her mind was filled with the shadow of Li Ye.
Even after leaving Fengyun City for a year, he has never been erased from my mind. On the contrary, it has become more and more intense.
When she told her master this today, she was really confused.
If one day he reaches the Nascent Soul realm in cultivation, or even breaks through to the state of distraction like his father, then he will have a long, long life.
As for Li Ye, who is in the Qi Gathering realm, even if he is lucky enough to break through to the Qi Qi realm, he will die in less than two hundred years.
Su Qingyue looked at her and said with a smile: "For us cultivators, no matter how well we write, no matter how wonderful our poems are, no matter how much money we make, they are just passing smoke. If you want to find someone who can last a lifetime, The partner who stays with you doesn’t need to be at a higher level than you, at least it shouldn’t be too different from you.”
"You are my only disciple. One day, as my master, you will cultivate to the legendary realm. You will definitely cultivate to that realm. If you want to leave this time and go to another starry sky, you Can you leave your partner behind and struggle here?"
"The Buddha also said: Not all fates can persist to the end. There are good fates, false fates, three-life fates, and half-life fates. Destinations have their own destiny. In the end, it is still up to you to choose, gather and disperse. It’s all in one thought.”
Dongfang Yuer and Li Mingzhu did not have a close relationship with Li Ye, and they had not heard about Li Ye's spiritual practice from their husband Li.
They always thought that Li Ye's realm was only the third to fourth levels of Qi gathering that they saw. They thought that Li Ye was just excellent in poetry and prose, and had practiced some Buddhism.
Dongfang Yu'er has always been proud of the fact that she is much higher than Li Ye.
She was already in love, and she already had the idea of marrying someone other than Li Ye.
However, today, under the unintentional teachings of his master, he deliberately planted a seed with thorns in his heart, a seed that excluded others and excluded Li Ye.
Tragedies in life often begin inadvertently and end in life and death.
Before the relationship between Dongfang Yu'er and Li Ye sprouted, Su Qingyue accidentally killed her quietly.
I don't know why, but it goes deep.
Feelings are not what they are, just a thought is enough to stop them.
Some words Su Qingyue said unintentionally turned into an out-of-context interpretation of Buddhism, thus causing Dongfang Yuer's lifelong tragedy.
The Buddha's Dharma says: ...If I explain the merits and virtues gained, if someone hears them, their minds will be crazy, suspicious and disbelieving.
Dongfang Yu'er, who has no concept of Buddhism, of course thinks whatever the master says. There is no wisdom at all in Buddhism that eliminates doubt and generates faith.
Su Qingyue didn't know that she had inadvertently planted the cause that all Buddhas feared.
Dongfang Yu'er didn't know that the little doubt in her heart today would cause her to be separated from Li Ye forever.
That night, she was so depressed that she didn't eat dinner, washed up hastily, climbed onto the bed, and sat there with her quilt in her arms all night, until the rooster crowed three times, indicating that it was about to dawn.
A look back five hundred years ago resulted in a passing moment in this life.
And Li Ye and Dongfang Yu'er not only passed each other, they went from strangers to familiarity, and then to falling in love with each other unconsciously.
Until the end, Li Ye left her a message that he carefully selected and carved: "Mo Shangren is like jade."
Later, Li Mingzhu sent a jade pendant back to Ye Zhiqiu, implying her acquiescence in the marriage.
However, because of Su Qingyue's uninformed words and an irresponsible judgment, the relationship between Dongfang Yu'er and Li Ye was severed.
Thus, she laid the root of trouble for herself and Dongfang Yu'er in the endless years to come.
On this day, the almanac shows: July 14th, a great disaster and everything is not appropriate.
...
But that night, Li Ye suddenly fell ill on Tianshan Mountain. After reciting Buddhist scriptures, he was lying on a bamboo chair and sleeping soundly. He suddenly became hot, sweating all over his body, trembling all over, and moaning in pain. .
It is said that after he broke through to the golden elixir realm, he was immune to all evils and diseases.
Xiaobai woke up from his dream and was shocked when he saw Li Ye's appearance.
It screamed and looked at the unresponsive Li Ye. It was so frightened that it rushed out of the shed like an arrow and rushed towards the cliff below the waterfall.
After a while, the old ape, who woke up in the middle of the night, followed Xiao Bai to the shed and looked at Li Ye, who was shaking all over and sweating on his head.
The old ape stretched out his hand and touched Li Ye's hot forehead, then connected his meridians, shook his head, looked at Xiao Bai and said: "Go, call the old wolf quickly and ask him to bring some herbs.
The old wolf immediately lit a fire in the stove, selected some different herbs from the herbs he brought and threw them into the pot. He lowered his head and blew into the fire. He wanted to cook a bowl of herbs for Li Ye quickly. Cool him down.
While jumping over, he took off all the clothes Li Ye was wearing, including the close-fitting armor, and then laid him down on the prepared stone table, letting the entire stone slab cool him down.
While jumping over and blowing on the fire in the stove, he gently stirred the medicine in the pot.
When the concoction in the pot was boiling, Xiaobai led the old wolf into the shed.
The old wolf looked at Li Ye who was lying naked on the table and asked the old ape: "What's going on? Didn't you just recite sutras carefully?"
The old ape sighed and said quietly: "Is it because today is the fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month and all the ghosts are out and startling the little gentleman?"
The old wolf spat at the old ape and said, "You are so confused. The young gentleman possesses boundless Dharma and is invulnerable to all demons, let alone these little devils from Tianshan Mountain!"
The old ape poured the cooked concoction into the bowl, carefully blew the wind, and said: "That's why, I said Xiaobai said that the little gentleman had a good meal before going to bed, but he suddenly got hot while sleeping. Looks good."
"Don't talk about it. Feed him the medicinal juice you cooked, and then we will take him to the glacier for a while." The old wolf put the medicinal herbs he had brought on the bamboo chair and looked at the old ape. explain.
The old ape nodded, gently shook the medicine bowl, and kept blowing air. He picked up Li Ye who was lying down, and supported him to drink the warm medicine in the bowl one by one.
The old wolf touched his beard and said: "This little guy is already at the second level of the Golden Elixir. Logically speaking, all evils are immune to invasion. Plus, with his boundless Dharma surrounding him, how could he be infected with this strange disease? "
Old Zhu also shook his head, and the two old men looked at Xiao Bai and said, "Who is coming to this shed to see you tonight?"
Xiaobai whined twice and shook his head to express no.
The old wolf also sighed quietly and said: "Is there something wrong with his relatives at the foot of the mountain, or a very close friend? Some things are always connected between the mind and the mind, which cannot be explained clearly."
The old ape lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said softly: "That's the only way to explain it. We can't help with the matter at the foot of the mountain. We don't even know where his home is."
The old ape stretched out his hand and touched Li Ye's forehead. It was still so hot. He immediately said in a hurry: "No matter what, you sit here and I will take him to soak in the glacier for a while. Maybe it will lower his body temperature."
The old wolf said: "Let's go, I'll go with you."
Xiaobai also whined and roared a few times, lowered his head and ran down first.
The old ape carefully picked up Li Ye from the table, hugged him with both hands, as if holding his own child, exerted force on his feet, and ran towards the glacier outside the woods with all his strength.
The moonlight in the sky dimly shines on the flowing glacier, illuminating the stones on the riverside and the snow in the river.
The old ape held Li Ye and walked step by step to the middle of the glacier, letting the cold river water cover Li Ye's neck, leaving only the head above his mouth exposed.
The river flowing down the mountain that day was the most bitingly cold. In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Ye's body temperature slowly dropped. The old ape held his successor in the river for another quarter of an hour before returning to the shore. side.
I held him and sat on a stone by the river until another quarter of an hour passed and saw that the temperature in his body did not continue to heat up, then I carried him back to the shed on the cliff.
After carefully drying his clothes, getting dressed, and lying down on the bamboo chair to sleep, the old ape let out a long sigh.
Looking at the old wolf beside him, he said: "This little gentleman is also desperate. He left his parents at such a young age and came to Tianshan to practice."
"It's a rare fate that you continue to stay and explain Buddhism to us after becoming friends with us. I hope that one day you and I can repay this fate."
Old Wolf nodded, looked at Xiaobai kindly and said: "Xiaobai, you have to practice well with Mr. Xiao. Your fate is the most enviable to us. Mr. Xiao and you are friends now, and they will be brothers in the future. , when you practice better in the future, you must protect Mr. Xiao until one day we can meet again under another starry sky."
Xiaobai looked at the old ape, then at the old wolf, and whined twice.
He lowered his head, lay beside the old wolf, and closed his eyes.
That night the old wolf did not leave the shed.
That night, the old ape took care of Li Ye most of the night.
...
Far away, Dongfang Yu'er didn't know that Li Yehui suddenly fell ill and almost lost his life because of a strange knot in her heart.
Li Ye, who was ill, didn't know that the young lady from far away had already disliked him. Their fate began to end with a high fever tonight.
The Buddha said: "One drink and one peck are all predetermined."
Everything must have a cause and effect. If you have it in your destiny, you can’t throw it away. If you don’t have it in your destiny, you can’t ask for it.
The so-called: cause and effect are not empty, this is the truth.
Li Ye doesn't understand now.
Dongfang Yu'er didn't understand tonight.
By the time he and the others understood this truth, they had already reached the point of no return.
As for the fate of Li Ye and Xiaobai, Lao Yuan and Lao Lang, because of his compassion, he saved a small life tonight.
Since tonight, Li Ye has never been sick again.
Perhaps this is the principle of nirvana and rebirth in Buddhism.
