Xiaobai left, and the shed returned to silence, with only the sound of the water boiling on the stove making the slightest sound.
The old ape felt a little chilly, so he took off the animal skin from the bamboo chair and put it on his shoulders.
He turned to look at Li Ye and said, "The scriptures you read at night are very different from the ones you read before. I don't understand a lot after listening to them."
When Old Wolf heard this, he nodded and said with a smile: "Old Wolf, I am more stupid. I have always wanted to ask this question. Today I just happened to ask for advice. I always feel that after listening to the little gentleman's scriptures at night, there is something weird in my body. The change."
Li Ye was silent, thinking that I am reciting the supreme Buddhist scriptures left by the old monk to you. It is strange that there has been no change.
After thinking about it carefully, I felt that there was no need to hide it from the two of them. I had already decided that after completing the carving of scriptures on the stone wall in the cave, I would start copying the "Hua Dharma Sutra" and leave it to the descendants of the old ape and the old wolf.
Looking into their eyes, Li Ye said softly: "The scriptures I recite at night are the supreme scriptures left by Senior Poxu Monk back then. At least I have not seen them in the Great Buddhist Temple in Fengyun City. ."
"It is normal for the two of you to have physical reactions after listening to this. The old monk did not take the precious scripture he brought from Fangcun Mountain with him, but chose to leave it to the next generation. For Monk Poxu, it is , this is also a kind of mercy.”
"In a few days, spring at the earliest and summer of next year at the latest, I will re-copy the scriptures left by the old monk into two volumes and give them to the two seniors. When I am familiar with the content of the scriptures, we will find an opportunity to prepare them for you. Explain them one by one.”
The old ape and the old wolf clasped their hands together and muttered something.
First, I was grateful to Monk Poxu for his mercy, and second, I was grateful to Li Ye for explaining and copying scriptures for them, so that their descendants would have the opportunity to preserve this supreme scripture.
"I have carved a complete "Ksitigarbha" on the stone wall in the cave. I will not block the door of the cave when I leave. Your descendants can go in and watch at any time. I just hope that you can restrain them and protect the stone wall. Damaging scripture.”
The old ape sighed and said: "The scriptures carved on the stone wall will be preserved as long as the cave exists. Mr. Xiao, you are doing this for our descendants and for the sentient beings of Tianshan Mountain. You have brought great good karma. He has done countless good deeds.”
The old wolf also nodded and said with emotion: "In the future, all the sentient beings on Tianshan Mountain who have gained enlightenment by reading the scriptures on the stone wall will remember the kindness of Mr. Xiao, and my descendants will also be grateful for the blessings you have brought to them. Unexpectedly A Poxu monk left the Tianshan Mountain, and a young gentleman came again. The sentient beings on the mountain are really blessed."
Li Ye was embarrassed to be praised by the two old men, and said with a blushing face: "For our good karma, let's cook a pot of delicious meat porridge tonight to celebrate."
The old wolf grinned, stood up, poured another cup of hot tea and held it in his hands.
"Little sir, how are you practicing your swordsmanship? Tell me, do you need my help?" The old ape looked at Li Ye and asked with a smile.
"You're not needed yet, senior. I won't be polite when I need you." Li Ye said with a smile.
After drinking a cup of tea, Old Lang felt much warmer. He looked at Li Ye and said, "Winter in Tianshan Mountain is extremely cold. Although the young gentleman has reached the middle stage of Jindan cultivation, he still needs to pay attention to his health."
Li Ye looked at him and smiled, patted his chest and said, "I've already had the disease that I should have, and I will be immune to all poisons from now on!"
"Even Lao Yuan and I don't dare to say that we are immune to all poisons! I'm not satisfied with you saying that I'm still a little scared of some poisons on Tianshan Mountain!" Old Wolf didn't dare to say that he was afraid of the venomous snakes on Tianshan Mountain.
Li Ye looked at the two of them, smiled and said nothing.
Put the iron pot on the stand, fetch water from the wooden bucket, and put some two bowls of rice, one Ganoderma lucidum, one wild ginseng, half a root of Polygonatum sibiricum, and a small pile of mushrooms in the pot.
Finally, he carefully opened the animal skin package that the old wolf brought, took out a snow lotus, gently tore off a petal, tore it into pieces and threw it into the pot.
Li Ye smiled and said: "It's a pity that this is a mountain. There are no red dates and peanuts from the bottom. Otherwise, it will be like the winter solstice in a few days. I will have to cook a pot of delicious Laba porridge."
The old ape smiled and said: "This is a hundred times more expensive than the Laba porridge at the foot of the mountain. How can ordinary people eat these treasures? Let alone eat them, it is rare to see them."
The old wolf laughed loudly, patted the old ape on the shoulder and said: "We two old men and Xiaobai have benefited from the little gentleman. If we can drink such delicious porridge tonight, maybe we are closer to our higher realm." Some."
Before leaving Yaping, the old wolf and the old ape looked at Li Ye and said, "You don't need to chant sutras tonight. Please digest the precious porridge you eat tonight. Maybe there will be surprises."
Xiao Bai, who had eaten enough, had already gone to sleep in the cave, not knowing that he had to come out to see the old wolf off.
Li Ye turned his head and looked at the two old men and asked, "Is it so magical?"
"That's necessary!" the two old guys replied in unison.
"It's cheaper than Xiaobai, a foodie!" When they arrived at Xiaobai, Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.
Slow fire produces delicious food. It took Li Ye an hour to cook this pot of porridge.
...
After sitting around the table and spending another half an hour finishing a pot of porridge mixed with Tianshan's exotic medicine, the old ape and the old wolf left together.
After cleaning up the mess on the table, Li Ye returned to the cave and sat in front of the stone wall where Poxu Monk meditated, thinking about what the old wolf said when he left.
Could it be that just by eating two bowls of porridge with snow lotus, I could transform the gains in my realm and state of mind into the true energy in my Dantian?
Li Ye closed his eyes and turned his five hearts to the sky. He focused on the true energy in his Dantian and tried to let go of his consciousness to feel the energy of heaven and earth outside the cave.
The wind and snow howled on the cliff, and countless snowflakes scattered on the roof of the shed and the stone slabs of the cliff. Some snowflakes were blown up by the rotating mountain wind.
The air surrounding the cliff kept circling, and the snow in the whirling nest hit the stone wall on the roof of the shed, turning into thin fragments and being blown everywhere by the wind.
The vitality of heaven and earth on the cliffs, between the cliffs, and in the woods blew into the cave with the wind, constantly pouring into Li Ye's body, forming a spiral socket on his head, and filling his Dantian in an instant The golden elixir in.
Immediately afterwards, it poured into the twelve major meridians of his body, constantly surging and converging, unwilling to give up any place.
He felt that his stomach was bulging. The digested wild ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and Huangjing, wrapped in Tianshan Snow Lotus, filled his whole body with strong medicinal power. He even felt that the medicinal power of Tianshan Snow Lotus was flowing in his hair.
The air vortex above his head became bigger and bigger, and the speed of rotation naturally became faster and faster. The scriptures on the cave wall also shone with golden light, illuminating Xiaobai who slept like a dead dog all over his body. Glitter.
The vitality of heaven and earth outside the cave, the true energy in the golden elixir, and the incomparably rich medicinal power in the Tianshan Snow Lotus all converged into a raging river, mercilessly attacking towards his Ren and Du veins...
That stubborn fortress was struck again and again, like a river embankment in a big river, and finally the small ant nest collapsed. The ruthless river water shattered the fortress in an instant.
Finally, the golden elixir in his dantian was marked with the fifth golden trace.
...
The sky was bright and Li Ye, who felt a little cold on his face, woke up and found that Xiaobai had crawled to his feet at some point... He thought to himself, how can you be afraid of the cold even if you have such thick fur? He got out of bed, put on his clothes and shoes, and walked out of the cave.
The wind and waves were calm on the cliff, and the winter sunshine was shining gently. The bird that had been hiding for many days finally had the opportunity to come out and look for food on the ground outside the shed.
Li Ye opened the door and entered the shed. He carried the iron pot and bucket, took some rice and went out. He threw the rice grains in his hand into the snow on Yaping, not caring whether the foraging birds ate them or not. Walk towards the river outside the woods at the foot of the cliff.
After walking through the thick snow to the river, I found that both sides of the river were frozen. Only the water in the middle of the river was not frozen. I then walked to the center of the river carrying the pot and bucket and stepping on the ice.
Rinse the iron pot in the water and think: Fortunately, the river is not completely frozen, otherwise I would have to work hard to break the ice and boil the snow every day to eat and drink water.
I also thought that since I started practicing with my husband, I have put in unbearable pain and tremendous perseverance than ordinary practitioners.
I hope that through arduous practice, I can reach a higher realm than ordinary practitioners, so as to keep my secrets and my life.
When he was at the foot of the mountain, he never thought about cooking a meal for himself, or coming to the frozen river in the ice and snow to wash pots, wash dishes and fetch water.
I never thought that although I could reach the golden elixir at an age that others would never reach, what about the golden elixir? I still have to eat and wear clothes.
Those who are as strong as Mr. still have to eat and drink tea. Even if they are not gods, they cannot escape the living customs of mortals.
It's just that the way of heaven under this starry sky is the greatest existence in the world after all. If you want to be free from its constraints and oppression, you can only practice with all your life.
Like Mumu's master Bai Susu and the old Poxu monk, they broke through the Nine Tribulations and walked away.
However, in the blink of an eye, I thought that it was still unimaginable that a gentleman who was much more powerful than Bai Susu and Poxu Seng did not want to live under any magical starry sky and would rather return to this small Fengyun City to live in seclusion.
Practitioners who have not escaped from the mundane world want to leave, but practitioners who have escaped from the mundane world are trying their best to come back here.
At this moment, he felt that his understanding of the world was not enough, and he must discuss this issue with his husband if he had the opportunity.
I washed my face with the biting snow water to restore my spirit to a sober state. I fetched a bucket of water, filled the pot with water, and walked to the cliff step by step.
The sun in winter is the warmest gift from God. It shines on Li Ye and all living beings.
On snowy days, there is sunshine, which is suitable for reading and writing.
It is also suitable for copying scriptures. Every movement and stillness are all practices.
Li Ye lit the pine branches in the stove, added a few pieces of charcoal, and put the kettle on.
Putting the pen and ink and blank scroll Xiaoqing brought on the table, he took out the "Hua Dharma Sutra" and held it in his hand, ready to make tea and start copying.
This situation reminded him of what the old monk of the Great Buddha Temple said: All the body, speech, mind and actions in the world can be used for cultivation, copying Buddhist scriptures, and learning the Dharma.
Practicing Buddhist scriptures is not a problem, you can also practice it by reading chants every day.
But only by copying it by hand can we gain a deeper understanding of Buddhism.
When copying scriptures, it is easy to grasp it with your eyes, hands, mouth, and heart, and it is easy to accidentally break into the eighty-four thousand Dharma doors to become a Buddha.
When I copied the first volume of the Ksitigarbha Sutra, I could not understand the essence of the scriptures.
At that time, I just copied the scriptures as a scroll and donated them to the Great Buddha Temple, thus forming a deep bond with the old monk.
After practicing the skill of copying scriptures to the extreme, you no longer need to struggle to understand the meaning of each scripture.
Because he has unknowingly written every verse into his soul, carved it into his own marrow, and cultivated the verses in the book into the purest existence.
I don’t know from which day, I often read scriptures in my dreams without knowing it.
In daily practice, he also unconsciously chants the six-character mantra and the twelve-character sutra. Now Li Ye can enter concentration if he wants to.
Li Ye looked at his wrist and could no longer see the redness and swelling like yesterday. The unexpected break also quietly repaired some of the wounds on his body.
At the moment, although he has not mastered the fallen leaf sword to the level required by his husband, he has understood a trace of the snow-cutting sword technique, and can cut the snowflakes with one sword so that the snowflakes will no longer break.
He practiced hard on Yaping for half a month. In order to solve the difficult problems that his husband had not taught him, he thought hard and finally found some answers. In the process of cutting hundreds of thousands of swords, he gained unimaginable benefits. .
In addition to the changes in the true energy in his body, the most important thing is that he seems to see some of the most basic structures in his spiritual consciousness. He can even vaguely use his spiritual consciousness to condense into a small sword, which can become a life-saving weapon in critical moments. .
