After leaving Qingliang Temple, Li Ye looked up and saw that it was still early, and then walked aimlessly in White Jade City.
Since coming to White Jade City with his husband, he has only gone shopping once with Mu Mu and Nalan Yu. White Jade City is equivalent to five Fengyun cities. At this time, he is stepping on the bluestone slabs of White Jade City and bathing. The last spring breeze.
After watching Arhat for two days and practicing Arhat Boxing for an hour, he felt that his body's strength had increased.
Looking at the bustling streets and alleys, I felt deeply. Mr. Xindao said that reading thousands of books is worse than walking thousands of miles. It really makes sense.
It took an hour to return to Youjian Inn, but there was no sign of Nalanyu. He asked the waiter in the store to cook a bowl of beef noodles, then walked through the living room and entered the small courtyard behind Youjian.
Smelling the fragrance of sage flowers blowing from the courtyard next door, Li Ye stood on the flower stand in the courtyard and took out his bamboo sword, thinking that he had not practiced swordsmanship for some days.
Thinking about when his fallen leaf sword would be ready for use, he raised it and looked around the courtyard. Although it was late spring, there were no colorful fallen leaves.
He had no choice but to practice Zhan Xue, who had achieved self-realization on Tianshan Mountain, without any internal strength.
He held a sword flower in his right hand and waved it out gently. It took him half an hour to slash out five thousand swords aimlessly.
The shop assistant came in with beef noodles, placed them on the stone table in the pavilion, and said with a smile: "Little sir, eat it while it's hot."
Li Ye cupped his hands and thanked him.
He changed his left hand and held the wooden sword instead. He started from behind and swung the sword sideways. Then it took him another half an hour to slash out the five thousand swords.
Having cut ten thousand swords, he returned to the pavilion, took out his silk scarf and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then picked up the beef noodles on the table.
The beef noodles that had been sitting for half an hour had turned into dough, and there was not a drop of soup in the bowl.
Li Ye sighed softly: "On a whim, I forgot what the old monk told me: eat when you eat, and drink tea when you drink tea. If you practice swordplay while eating, you can only eat dough."
This appearance of no leakage is indeed difficult to cultivate.
...
On the third day, Li Ye entered the Arhat Hall in Qingliang Temple as usual.
Hearing the faint sound of chanting scriptures in the distance, Li Ye closed his eyes and sat quietly in front of the Arhats for an hour. When he got up and put the futon back, the monk on duty arrived belatedly.
Li Ye saluted the two of them and walked towards the island in the middle of the lake, hands behind their backs. Today's perception was different. He was going to practice the Fuhu Arhat Fist a second time on the dirt outside the stone house on the island.
Today he had the appearance of an Arhat subduing a tiger, and said in his mouth: Venerable Bintou Lu once subdued a fierce tiger.
Operate the mental method of the "Phaseless Dharma Body" and operate the power of the physical body. Use the strength of your physical body to move the energy toward the top of your head, and push the energy toward Baihui Point. While pushing the energy, hold your hands tightly with all your strength, punch like a tiger's claw, and swing out a shadow of a fist...
As the boxing skills gradually improved, a whirlwind blew on the ground. In the whirlwind, there was a light golden Buddha's light surging with the whirlwind, and the wind and clouds surged.
...
After practicing for an hour, I punched Fuhu Fenghan twice, stopped my fists, stood still, took a deep breath, and took out a silk scarf to wipe the sweat on my body.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw a tea set placed outside the stone house. A thin-faced old monk was sitting at the table, waving a fan to boil water and looking at him with a smile.
Li Ye was stunned for a moment before he realized that the old monk was here for him. He immediately stepped forward, clasped his hands together, bent down and saluted, "Wuchen has seen my senior."
Xuanbei looked at him kindly and said gently: "Are you a disciple of Kuchan? Are you from the Great Buddhist Temple in Dongxuan Domain?"
Li Ye nodded and sat down opposite the old monk.
"I heard that there is no inheritance of the Twelve-Character Mantra in the Great Buddha Temple, but I heard the monk on duty at the Arhat Hall in the temple said that you can chant the Twelve-Character Mantra. I feel a little confused. I wonder if you can help me clear up my confusion?"
Li Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, thinking that Poxu Monk on Tianshan Mountain could be regarded as the founder of Qingliang Temple. Besides, he had left this world, so he wouldn't care if he came to think of it.
Then he raised his head and looked at Xuan Bei and said: "This twelve-character mantra was not passed down by my old monk master, but was inherited from the Tianshan Mountains and unintentionally from the old monk Poxu."
Xuanbei was startled and blurted out: "Monk Po Xu? Young monk, how did you meet the founder of this temple, and where is he now?"
"I don't know where Monk Poxu is now. I just accidentally entered the cave where he once practiced on Tianshan Mountain and got some of his inheritance. As for him, I heard from the seniors on Tianshan Mountain. As early as hundreds of years ago He survived the nine calamities and walked away. I just came to his cave hundreds of years later, how can I know his current whereabouts?"
Li Ye said calmly.
After saying this, Li Ye held the flower in his left hand, lowered his eyes, and chanted softly:
"Om ah hum, banzag repaima siddhi hum!"
Holding the flowers and smiling, he softly chanted the twelve-character mantra a hundred times, and for a moment, a faint Buddha's light spread behind him.
Xuanbei was stunned when he listened to Li Ye's chanting. He saw the faint Buddha's light spreading behind him. He clasped his hands together, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head. He turned the beads in his hands and chanted along.
As expected, Xin Dao has a great fate with him. The inheritance of Monk Po Xu actually came from the distant Tianshan Mountains in the East, and the young monk in front of him actually received the supreme inheritance of Buddhism hundreds of years later.
...
Xuanbei, who stopped reciting sutras, poured a cup of hot tea for Li Ye and praised, "I never expected that Mr. Xiao, you have received the inheritance from the founder of this temple. If you tell me more carefully, even I would like to call you uncle." "
Li Ye quickly waved his hand and said: "I have not become a disciple of the old monk Poxu, so I cannot take him seriously. I am just a lay disciple of the old monk of the Great Buddha Temple, and I have not really become a monk."
Xuanbei nodded, looked at Li Ye, picked up the teacup in front of him, and said with a smile: "Please drink tea."
Li Ye smiled, picked up the teacup, put it under his nose, sniffed it gently, and praised: "Good tea."
Xuanbei looked at him and said: "I am the current abbot of Qingliang Temple. Since you have inherited the inheritance from the Patriarch of Poxu Monk, can you and I be friends in the future?"
When Li Ye heard this, he was shocked and said: "How is this possible? This junior is only nine years old this year."
After Xuanbei was silent for a moment, he said with a solemn expression: "There is no fixed time to enter the Tao, and it has to depend on age? Some people spend their whole life not being able to enter the Tao. How can this be the theory?"
"Does it have to be like this?" Li Ye asked in a low voice.
"Absolutely, I see you have practiced Fang Cunshan's "Phaseless Dharmakaya" technique. You should know that all living beings have and have no form. Why do you care about these mundane details?"
Li Ye was startled and said, "All living beings have no form?"
Xuanbei looked at Li Ye who was in a daze, and said with a faint smile: "Looking at your expression, you must have only practiced the first half of "The Formless Dharma Body", right? No wonder you have such an expression when I say that all living beings have no form. ."
Li Ye said: "How did the abbot know that I practiced the Formless Dharmakaya? I don't seem to have told the senior brothers of Luohan Hall."
Xuan Bei said: "I saw the Fuhu Luohan Fist you performed here yesterday, and I know you have practiced this method, otherwise you would not have such a fierce fist style."
Li Ye touched his head, sighed, and said, "I see. Doesn't that mean I can't hide it from others?"
Xuanbei smiled and said, "How is that possible? I can tell because I have also practiced this method."
"The abbot has also practiced the Formless Dharma Body. Can he practice it to a perfect state?" Li Ye blurted out.
Xuanbei shook his head, sighed to himself, and said: "I also practiced in Prajna Temple at the beginning. Master taught me the "Phaseless Dharma Body". It took me ten years to practice to the sixth level of selflessness. It stands to reason that You should practice until you reach perfection before going down the mountain."
"It turns out that the master has also practiced this magical skill. It's really rare!" Li Ye clasped his hands together and said with a smile.
"It's just that I was too frivolous at that time. I hurried down the mountain before I could complete my practice. Later, I experienced many worldly things. It was already a hundred years ago when I looked back. I had lost the opportunity to continue my practice."
Looking at Li Ye, Xuanbei let out a long sigh, feeling jealous but also a little reluctant.
After listening to this, Li Ye sighed softly and said: "My husband also got the first half of the "Shadowless Dharmakaya" by chance and taught it to me. It took me three years to practice it to perfection, but I felt that it was meaningless. You haven't finished it yet, so now you go up to Fangcun Mountain to look for the second half of the volume."
Xuanbei nodded and said: "Your idea is right. No matter how much it costs, you must practice it to perfection. You must not give up halfway like me and regret it for the rest of your life."
"I don't know if Master Abbot can teach me the sixth level of the Heart Technique. This disciple has already endured a lot in his heart." Li Ye murmured.
"Since you have practiced the "Shadowless Dharma Body" and are the descendants of the Patriarch of Poxu Monk, I can naturally teach you the inner method. I only have one request. Please give this to me when you return to Baiyu City from Fangcun Mountain after completing your practice in the coming year. The complete inner teachings are passed on to our temple so that Qingliang Temple can have a complete inheritance of Buddhist teachings."
Xuanbei looked at him and said seriously, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Li Ye thought for a while and said: "I can't answer you now. I have to wait until I go to Prajna Temple and ask the master who teaches the Dharma. Only if he doesn't object can I teach you the Dharma. I hope the abbot will understand. "
When Xuanbei heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then smiled and said: "From this point of view, the young gentleman must be a man of his word. Don't worry, if the great monk Ruruo in Prajna Temple does not allow you to practice the Dharma, I will not embarrass you. "
Li Ye looked at him and said calmly: "Master Abbot, please rest assured. I will try my best to persuade Master Chuanfa to give you the next three volumes to fulfill your wish."
Xuan Bei looked at him and said with a smile: "I think Mr. Xiao's practice of the first volume of "The Formless Dharmakaya" has already reached a state where water is about to overflow. As long as he practices the exercises and tempers his body with medicine, it won't take a few days. Get through the door."
After speaking, he took out a hand-copied scripture from behind his back, placed it on the table along with a package of things wrapped in yellow monk robes, and looked at Li Ye quietly.
Li Ye stared at the things on the table blankly and said nothing.
Xuanbei smiled faintly and said: "I was stupid and prepared two portions of body-tempering herbs for each level of mental practice. However, when I finally practiced the sixth level, I was so blessed that I only used one portion. The extra One share, you don’t want to let it go for a hundred years. Think about it, this is also your fate.”
Li Ye looked at the herbs on the table and felt grateful. After thinking about it, he had nothing to repay, so he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Xuan Bei.
He said with great joy: "I have been kind to my master by teaching him scriptures and medicine. But I have nothing to repay. I only look forward to coming back from Fangcun Mountain in the future and completing the remaining scrolls in the hands of the abbot."
Xuanbei held Li Ye up with both hands, feeling very emotional in his heart.
He said: "You and I will not be able to accept such a great gift when we are on the same level in the future. You are still young and there are countless opportunities on the road to spiritual practice. I also hope to be blessed with your fortune in the future."
Li Ye was stunned, looked at him and said with a smile: "Master is a master who has practiced Buddhism for hundreds of years. I, a junior, have just entered Buddhism. How can I compare with you, Master?"
Xuanbei waved his hand and said with a smile: "These herbs have been kept for many years, but there has never been a suitable disciple to practice them. Meeting you today can be regarded as a fate."
Li Ye lowered his head and chanted softly: "Amitabha, thank you Abbot for your generous gift today."
