The old ape who asked Li Ye to rush back to the cave rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, but could not find a suitable gift for Xiao Qing.
Looking at the old ape walking in with his hands behind his back and a sad face, Li Xiang smiled, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
Then he put his little hand in front of him and saw two gems, one red and one purple, appearing on the table in front of him.
"I know you don't have anything. I have prepared it for you. You can take it and give it to her to make Xiaoqing happy."
The old ape blushed, grabbed the two gems in his good hands, looked at Li Ye and said: "How did you get these things at such a young age? I haven't seen them on Tianshan Mountain? It's really hard for this little girl to fly around. It’s also appropriate to coax her.”
"This is what Monk Poxu left behind." Li Ye said softly.
The old ape sighed and murmured: "The old monk is really kind to you. He gave you all his life savings without even meeting him."
Li Ye shook his head, looking at the old ape's surprised look, feeling filled with emotion.
After a long while, he said softly: "He has seen through life and death, so he has achieved enlightenment. We are only temporary owners of these external things, and we will eventually give them up. He has great wisdom and has deeply understood the Buddhist teachings of letting go. The truth of the Word.”
The old ape was stunned and speechless for a long time. He was not stupid enough to discuss Buddhist scriptures with Li Ye.
"Sure enough, he is a born expert. He not only sees through life and death, but also sees through the prosperity and wealth of the world!" The old ape looked at Li Ye and sighed softly.
Li Ye smiled faintly and said: "In the face of life and death that transcends tribulations and ascends, what does the prosperity of the world mean?"
...
"Where's Xiaoqing? Why didn't you see her for a while?" After thinking about it, the old ape changed the topic.
"She took Xiaobai's foodie to play. If I'm not wrong, there will be something delicious tonight."
If Xiaoqing doesn't leave, it will not be a simple matter to find food, not to mention there is a Xiaobai who is familiar with the road.
The old ape drank all the tea in the cup, looked at Li Ye across from him, and said with a smile: "Do you want to copy the scriptures today? If you want to copy, I will lie here to rest for a while, so that I can have enough energy to drink in the evening. "
Li Ye thought for a while and said after a moment of silence: "Since you want to take a rest, I will continue to weave the unfinished bamboo hat." After saying that, he took off the bamboo hat from his back and took out the knife from his pocket.
The old ape lifted up the animal skin on the bamboo chair and lay down on it.
He pulled the animal skin over his body and said proudly: "The first to get the moon is the tower near the water. The old wolf on this mountain doesn't know if he can get the news of Xiao Qing's arrival."
"You were thinking that he would come to drink with you, right?" Li Ye gently turned the knife in his hand and began to carve scriptures on the bamboo strips.
The old ape lying on the bamboo chair did not reply, and soon he began to purr.
Li Ye looked at the old ape lying in front of him, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, thinking that he and the old wolf had been practicing hard for thousands of years on the Tianshan Mountains with a harsh climate, and then they waited until he was released overnight, hoping to survive this year or next year. Break the void.
However, I have only been practicing with my husband for two years and have reached the golden elixir realm. There is such a big difference in the way of cultivation between humans and animals.
I don’t know how many years of practice it will take for me to reach the level of Da Lao Yuan and to keep up with the pace of my husband.
His fingers were gently turning the bamboo piece in his hand, and the ring on his finger was also turning with him. The twelve-character scripture was also spinning in the air, and he was reciting the scripture silently in his mouth.
The bamboo hat that tested his patience the most, after spending several months of time and effort, he finally finished weaving the last loop. He used a knife to gently cut the last piece of bamboo strips, and carefully inserted it into the last loop of bamboo. seam.
Wearing it gently on the head, there is a sense of pride in practicing the skills to a perfect state.
He took out the animal skin that he had used to polish the bamboo sword before, and then took out the yellow oil boiled with black fruits from under the table and put it on the table. Dip the animal skin into the oil and smear it carefully along the edge of the bamboo hat... ..
The young lady on Phoenix Mountain is already absorbing spirit stones to increase her true energy and break through the realm. The husband is worried about Li Ye's endless breakthroughs and has not given him spirit stones to absorb.
Most of the creatures on Tianshan Mountain are born with the ability to absorb true energy from the vitality of heaven and earth, thereby converting it into their own true energy.
Just like the young lady on Phoenix Mountain, by chance, she boiled her own true energy and the perceived vitality of heaven and earth into a pot of tea, and turned it into her own true energy.
But the true energy in Li Ye's body was different. When he broke through to the golden elixir, all the true energy in his body was turned into true energy.
From then on, all the energy of heaven and earth absorbed by practicing swordsmanship or tempering the body will automatically become the true energy in the golden elixir in his Dantian.
Only those three distinctive strands of ice and heaven and earth energy could not be integrated with the true energy in the body, and automatically gathered together to form a unique ice power.
He didn't even know that Li Ye relied on spiritual stones in this world. He just relied on his innate physique and tenacious will to break through to the fifth level of the golden elixir.
If Xu Jingyun from Phoenix Mountain and Tang Qiuyu from Qingcheng knew about it, they would definitely "invite" Li Ye to the mountain gate where they practice at any cost to study it carefully.
This is the good intention of Mr. Li Ye to practice the "Shadowless Dharmakaya" first.
Once Li Ye breaks through the Nascent Soul, the five-layer formless body he is currently cultivating will no longer be able to cover up the aura on his body. Under the premise that he cannot protect himself, he will become the public enemy of practitioners all over the world.
The husband repeatedly emphasized that Li Ye cultivated his own state of mind, on the one hand, in order to stabilize his unstable state of mind caused by breaking through the realm too quickly at a young age.
The most important thing is that one day in the future, when many practitioners in the world oppose him, they will have a heart so powerful that it will make their opponents tremble.
If you practice one way, you will be invincible if you don’t have a self.
And now Li Ye, of course, will not understand Mr.'s painstaking efforts.
In the past few days, I was feeling irritable due to many reasons. Finally, when the bamboo hat in my hand was finished, it was repaired and sublimated as he smeared grease on the bamboo strips circle after circle.
For a long period of time afterwards, the lack of mood will no longer occur.
His current state of mind corresponds to the state of cultivation of Buddhism where he still stayed in the state of enlightenment in the old monk's Buddhist hall.
The body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror.
Wipe it frequently to avoid dust.
I have trouble practicing swordsmanship, I have trouble realizing the power of ice, and I feel upset due to a sudden drop in my realm. I have many troubles, but I freely copy scriptures and brush them away under a knitted bamboo hat.
Even though the letter from the young lady sent thousands of miles away came back, the excitement was quietly melted away by the circles of grease in his hands.
It became the flying snow under the wine all over the cliff, seemingly coming with the power of heaven and earth, and finally turned into a speck of dust falling on the ground.
It will eventually turn into snow water at the moment when the flowers bloom in spring, silently moistening the earth, and quietly flowing into the small river under the cliff.
At this moment, Li Ye's state of mind was extremely strong. He didn't even care that his fair and handsome face turned into a ball of black coal, let alone the various things outside him. It would be difficult for his gradually watery state of mind to be covered with dust.
...
As dusk approached, the old ape, sleeping on the bamboo chair, slowly opened his eyes.
"Why don't these two little guys come back? The old guy on the mountain is really heartless. I wonder if he will come down and have a drink with me every few days." The old ape stretched his hands and muttered a few words.
As the night fog entered the shed, Li Ye turned around and took out two sticks of rosin from the rack behind him, lit them on them, and placed them in the oil lamp hanging under the shed. Suddenly there was light in the room.
Li Ye walked to the door, rubbed his eyes, held his hands on the shed wall and looked at the infinite vastness outside the cliff, and thin snowflakes began to fall.
He turned around and looked at the old ape and said, "Did she follow Xiao Bai and go up the mountain to call Senior Lao Lang? She thought you were a poor drunk and wanted to find someone to come down and accompany you."
The old ape turned his head and glared, looking at Li Ye without saying anything.
While the two were looking at each other, the sound of crunching snow came from the corner under the cliff.
"Just when you were thinking about it, he came. Let him get you drunk tonight, and then don't beg me to take you home." Li Ye rolled his eyes at the old ape who had already stood up and sat at the table.
From a distance, I heard Old Wolf say: "The little gentleman is here. Is the old guy here? Do you want to ask Xiaobai to call him?"
Li Ye was stunned, looked back at the old ape, and said, "He is lying here cursing you, saying that you have no conscience and don't come down to drink with him."
In a blink of an eye, Xiao Qing came to the cliff and said with a smile: "Li Ye, Xiao Bai and I caught two pheasants, peeled them and washed them in the river. All we have to do is marinate them with some salt and spices." Bake it and eat it.”
Xiaobai followed her and had fun.
The old ape looked at Li Ye by the door and smiled awkwardly. In a blink of an eye, he stiffened his neck again and said loudly in the direction outside the wooden shed: "I said you are a pitiful old man who stays in a cave on the mountain without even drinking. There’s no one to drink with you.”
"You laughed at me for being an old thing. I didn't see you, didn't I?" The old wolf had already walked outside the door.
"You're an old man, but you still want to betray Kaminari." Old Yuan took a teacup for Old Wolf, put it on the table, and knocked on the table.
The two of them felt very happy while Li Ye talked back. They sat down and filled the kettle with boiling water, then took out the salt and spices to marinate the pheasant that Xiao Qing brought in.
The old ape pulled Xiaoqing to sit next to him, stretched out his broad palm and placed it in front of her, looking at her with a smile. "Old man, I'm practicing in the mountains. I don't have much good stuff. You can use these two stones to play with."
Xiao Qing held two gems, one red and one purple, in the old ape's palm. He was suddenly pleasantly surprised. He stretched out his hand to take the gems and turned to look at Li Ye.
Li Ye smiled: "Senior Old Wolf gave me snow lotus before. Senior Ape felt embarrassed to always drink the wine you brought, so I gave you two small things. You keep one and give one to Mumu."
Xiao Qing nodded, hurriedly blessed the old ape, played with the gem in his hand happily, and said with a smile: "Thank you, senior ape, Xiao Qing will bring you a drink next time he comes up."
"Little girl, this old man can make you happy with just two stones. Next time I will go to the river to pick up a few for you." The old wolf said with a smile.
Li Ye and Lao Yuan both looked back at Lao Lang, but Li Ye said nothing.
The old ape thought for a while and said, "I'm just waiting for you to see if you can pick up a few stones like this from the river one day." He thought to himself that this was something left by the old monk Poxu. How could you find it in the river? You can pick it up easily.
The water in the pot made a whining sound. Li Ye poured tea for several people, took off the kettle, cut half of the marinated pheasant, put it on top and flipped it to bake.
There was an alluring aroma in the room.
Xiaobai jumped on the stool and squeezed next to Xiaoqing, staring at the stove, waiting for Li Ye to cut the meat for him.
Li Ye took out a jar of wine from the bag behind his back and placed it in front of the old ape.
Li Ye looked at the two of them and said, "Don't let down the fine wine now, just have a good drink."
The old wolf looked at him and smiled: "That's natural. Without me, how can this old guy drink happily?"
The old ape shook his head and said nothing. He just picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
The mountain wind on the rock flat was carrying snowflakes, making waves of whimpering.
