Putting down the Lotus Sutra in his hand, he opened his eyes and pushed open the closed door.
The morning breeze was already blowing outside the door, and the wind and snow in the mountains had stopped flying.
The silver-covered Fangcun Mountain was completely silent, and a warm winter sun climbed up to the top of the mountain in the distance.
Looking at the silvery mountains, Li Ye stood quietly in the snow in the bluestone courtyard and stared at it for a long time.
Then he raised his left hand, faced the vast mountains, and picked up a lotus...
At this moment, he felt as if his soul had returned to the mountains, and even his consciousness had merged into the vast mountains...
Snow chickens who get up early to forage in the mountains are singing happily, hares are sneaking quietly in the snow, and dead branches of overwhelmed cedars in the mountain forests are falling with snow.
Everything seems to be happening before his eyes, there is no distance, as long as he is willing, he can reach it...
The seventh-level mental method of "Formless Dharma Body" is to refine the soul. The soul enters the mountains and the body transforms into the Cangshan Mountains.
This is the sign of entry into the seventh level of mind practice. This is a state that even Master Xuanbei of Qingliang Temple and the eminent monks of Prajna Temple have never reached.
On the last day of winter.
The day before the beginning of spring.
Without realizing it, Li Ye actually started practicing the seventh level of mental skills.
Since then, his formless dharma body has reached a new level, a level that even his husband and Ming Hui could not teach him.
In ten years, I must practice the ninth-level mental method to perfection.
Standing among the mountains, I am the mountains.
The mood that had been depressed for a long time finally relaxed, and he was so happy that he did not shout loudly.
I just grabbed a handful of snow from the stone table in the snow, put it in my mouth and slowly melted it...
"Gugugu" Du Lie made a slight protest.
I was startled for a moment, thinking to myself, hadn’t it just been one night? Can't help but feel hungry so soon?
Li Ye muttered in his heart, turned around and walked towards the kitchen in the small courtyard.
The husband, his wife, and Mu Mu didn't get up yet, so they naturally cooked porridge to fill their stomachs when they were hungry.
Make fire, boil water, wash rice, wash mushrooms...
After fetching a bucket of water and washing myself with the cold spring water, I felt like I was back in the early morning in Tianshan.
Xiao Bai is snoozing in the cave, there is an old wolf who gets up early in the mountain, and there is a kind old ape in the mountain stream...
It means that in a blink of an eye, time changes like dew to electricity.
Xiaobai and Xiaoqing, who were too sleepy to wake up, went to another world.
Poxu's old ape and old wolf also went to find Bai Susu.
I have also gone from the foundation building realm when I first came to the Tianshan Mountains to the Yuanying realm now. Although I can't use my true essence for the time being, I am still in the Yuanying realm worthy of the name.
And the "Phaseless Dharmakaya" has also broken through all the way from the initial entry of body tempering to the entry of the seventh level.
Tianshan Mountain is where Li Ye first entered spiritual practice.
Fangcun Mountain is where Li Ye will enter Taoism.
The melodious and clear bells of Xuantian Temple spread to the distant Qingshi Courtyard in the back mountain.
When Li Ye came to the living room with a pot of steaming mushroom porridge, his husband was already sitting at the table boiling water, and Li Hongxiu was holding a wooden comb to comb the sleepy Mu Mu's hair.
"Good morning, sir, mistress. Mumu has combed her hair and went to wash her hands and drink porridge."
Li Ye gently placed the pot on the table, turned around and went to the kitchen to get the dishes.
"When did this guy get up? He even cooked breakfast." Li Hongxiu looked at Mr. Li in surprise.
"My brother has been hungry for a few days. He must not be able to bear it anymore. That's why he got up early to cook porridge."
Mu Mu rubbed her eyes and yawned.
The gentleman added two pieces of charcoal to the stove, looked at Li Hongxiu and said calmly: "If you can practice like Ye'er, I will cook for you myself."
After speaking, he picked up the pot, poured water into the cup, washed the cup, and warmed the pot.
Li Hong's sleeves were stunned, she touched Mu Mu's combed hair and looked at her husband angrily.
Said: "Li Ye is probably the only little monster in the five realms. Who can compare with him?"
"Keke, brother is a little monster!" Mu Mu waved her little fist.
"Who is the little monster?" Li Ye, who came in with bowls and chopsticks, looked at Mu Mu and asked.
Mu Mu jumped off Li Hongxiu and reached for the bowl Li Ye was holding.
Li Ye glared at her and said, "Go and wash your hands before eating."
Mumu stuck out her tongue and made a face at him.
He smiled and said: "My wife said that my brother is a little monster in the five realms. He doesn't go out for three days and three nights. Mu Mu is also a little monster."
After saying that, he opened the door and jumped out.
Li Ye was stunned, his hand holding the bowl and chopsticks froze in mid-air.
He looked at the gentleman and asked: "Sir, I stayed in the room for three days and three nights?"
Just as the gentleman was about to open his mouth, Li Hongxiu rushed to say: "For more than three days and three nights, the golden light from your room reflected in the air, alarming the old Taoist priests at Xuantian Temple, and a bunch of people ran outside the Qingshi Courtyard, causing the gentleman to I spent a long time explaining it to you..."
After speaking, Li Li Hongxiu curled her lips and reached out to take the bowls and chopsticks held by Li Ye.
Li Ye was startled, looked at Li Hongxiu and his husband and murmured: "Is it such an exaggeration? I feel like it's just one night... What's strange is that after only one night, how can I feel hungry? Can’t stand it?”
Shaking his head, he sat across from the gentleman at the table.
The teacher looked at him, couldn't help but smile, and said softly: "Your master's wife is right, you did practice for three days and three nights, and many people in the temple came over, and the teacher sent them away for you. What have you learned from these three days of enlightenment?”
The gentleman, who had always been unfazed by flattery, had a look of expectation in his eyes.
When Li Ye heard this, he couldn't help but reached out and touched his head. He chuckled twice and said, "This disciple didn't expect this. I just practiced the seventh-level mind method and couldn't get it, so I went to read Buddhist scriptures."
"It's just reading Buddhist scriptures. Is there such a big movement?" Li Hongxiu looked at him and frowned.
The husband glared at her and said softly: "What Ye'er practices is Buddhism, which is different from what you practice. Don't compare."
Li Ye looked at the two of them and continued: "I didn't expect that I would unintentionally realize the seventh-level cultivation method, and practice it to the point... I didn't expect that this sitting would last for three days and three nights. It’s causing trouble for Mr. and Mistress.”
"So, you are a little monster in the five realms!" Li Hongxiu said with a smile while serving porridge.
The teacher nodded, looked at him and said: "Whether it is the practice of Taoism or Buddhism, it is all about opportunity. Once you have enlightenment, you have enlightenment. Otherwise, you will not be able to enter the door even if you try hard."
Li Ye nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect it. I thought it was just one night. Who knew it would be three days and three nights in a blink of an eye."
Li Hongxiu sighed and said, "If I were like you, I would probably cause a thunderstorm!"
The teacher smiled and said: "If Master Minghui knew that you had started to practice the seventh level of mind training in less than a month, his jaw would probably drop in shock."
Li Ye murmured: "Everyone practices different techniques, and the problems they encounter are naturally different. I have just entered the door. What headaches are still behind me? I don't know where to look for the elixir. ah?"
Li Hongxiu glared at him and said with a smile: "Just be content and practice slowly. The opportunity may be tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. Aren't you a monster?"
The husband also comforted softly: "This matter cannot be rushed. Adjust your own state of mind. It is most important."
Only then did Li Ye realize that three whole days had actually passed overnight.
This was his longest epiphany, and also his greatest gain. Not only did he gain access to the seventh level of mental cultivation, but his state of mind also improved a lot.
"I really didn't expect that you could achieve enlightenment for three days and three nights in a row, and mastered the most difficult technique to practice."
Li Hongxiu gently placed the bowl of porridge in front of her husband, looked at Li Ye and said.
"Actually, this is not the longest epiphany. It is common for practitioners to have epiphany for ten or eight days. There are even practitioners who stay in retreat for several years at a time."
The gentleman thought about the porridge in front of him and blew gently.
"My brother made so much noise that even the brothers and sisters in the audience were envious."
After washing, Mu Mu opened the door and came in, sat down next to Li Ye, and reached for the porridge that Li Hongxiu had filled.
The husband looked at Li Ye with emotion.
Li Ye was happy in his heart, but did not show any more emotions. He just held the bowl and gently blew the hot air on the porridge.
While stirring the bowl, Mu Mu turned her head and looked at Li Hongxiu with a questioning look.
He shouted: "Master's wife, the weather is nice today, can Mumu go to the back mountain to play for a while?"
Li Hongxiu raised her head and glanced at her husband, then looked at Li Ye who was eating porridge, and replied with a smile: "It's rare that the weather is nice, so my wife will take you to play for a while. Maybe I can catch some snow chickens and come back to cook hot pot."
The gentleman shook his head gently and said nothing.
...
"Tomorrow is the beginning of spring. After the spring begins, the snow on the mountains will slowly melt. I also want to go for a walk in the back mountains with you..."
It was rare that his husband was willing to go with him, and Li Hongxiu showed a happy look on his face.
Mumu was naturally happier and drank porridge faster while holding the bowl in her arms.
Looking at Mu Mu's appearance, Li Ye frowned slightly.
Putting down the empty bowl, he reached out and stroked her long hair and said: "Mumu, how many times have I told you, eat when you eat, sleep when you sleep, don't be anxious, why do you always forget? This porridge is so hot, you drink it What should I do if I hurt my body in such a hurry?"
When Mu Mu heard this, she immediately slowed down, turned her head to look at Li Ye, and replied carelessly: "Oh, Mu Mu eat more slowly next time."
It means forget it this time, I am anxious to go to the mountains to play with my wife and husband.
Li Ye couldn't help but feel a headache when he looked at her, and shook his head helplessly.
Li Hongxiu also put down the empty bowl in his hand, looked at Li Ye and asked: "Little guy, do you want to go with us? It has been a long time since you went into the mountains with us. It seems that you have been with me since I was in Tianshan." After walking down the mountain with Mumu..."
"I won't go today. It's a rare epiphany. I want to sort it out and wait a few days before I can accompany my wife and Mu Mu."
Li Ye rejected Li Hongxiu's invitation.
The gentleman nodded, picked up the teapot and poured tea for himself and the three of them.
He said: "Now that you have mastered the skills, don't be in a hurry and sort out your experience of breaking through the situation for future generations to refer to. At least you have to give an explanation to the old monk in Qingliang Temple."
Li Ye picked up the teacup in front of him, looked at his husband, smiled, and said, "I promised Master Xuanbei that when I return to the Central Region from Fangcun Mountain, I will go to see him and teach him the third level of skills."
Li Hongxiu, who was clearing away the dishes, was startled and said, "Then the old monk still has to wait ten years?"
Li Ye smiled, looked at the tea leaves standing up one by one in the cup, and replied calmly: "He has already waited for countless ten in White Jade City, and will not care about waiting for another ten years."
The gentleman knocked on the table and said, "The days are long, let's not be anxious."
Li Ye took out a handkerchief and wiped the rice grains from Mu Mu's mouth.
Mu Mu followed her husband's words and said, "Mu Mu is not in a hurry."
...
Seeing his husband leading Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu out to the mountains and forests, Li Ye closed the courtyard door and returned to his house.
He felt that there was more breath in his body, and his body was much stronger than before. He understood that this was what he gained after learning the seventh-level mental method.
Because of these gains, he will have to put in more sweat and effort.
Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but laugh.
Suddenly I thought of something. Since I have reached the entry level in the seventh level of mental training, it means that my physical body's strength has also increased a lot, and I can try to use the sword.
When the husband comes back, he will ask about the casting of the epee. Now that he has seen hope, there is no reason to stop. He is improving his practice as quickly as possible, and his sword skills cannot fall behind.
If one day you can hold an epee and practice cutting snow, it would be a very good thing. I'm afraid you haven't tried it, right?
If this is the case, wouldn't he be the first practitioner in the Five Realms to combine the heavy sword with Zhanxue?
Thinking of this, the little light gray face showed a proud look.
