Somehow he was afraid that his precious apprentice would fall into the invisible net in Li Ye's courtyard. I was still anxious to go to my husband to ask for advice on the truth of spiritual practice.
On the fifth day after Li Ye returned to Prajna Temple, Tang Qiuyu asked him for two handwritten scriptures and then proposed to leave here to go to Xuantian Temple to find his husband and Li Hongxiu.
Although Xia Wutong was ten thousand unwilling, her masters had all left, and she was too embarrassed to ask to be left alone as a girl, so she had to follow Tang Qiuyu unwillingly.
Li Ye tried to stay a few times, but when he saw Tang Qiuyu's determined look, he gave up the idea.
I found Wuyou and told him a few words, saying that if I couldn't make it back to the temple tomorrow morning, I would ask him to sweep the floor for him for the day and cook porridge to express his gratitude when he came back.
Of course Wuyou is happy. Firstly, he can cultivate his own state of mind, and secondly, he can receive a favor from his junior uncle.
On the mountain road to Xuantian Temple on the north slope, Li Ye didn't care at all about Xia Wutong's surprise and admiration along the way, but just mustered up his strength and hurried on.
Even Tang Qiuyu couldn't help but blame him: "I'm talking about Li Ye, it's not like we are rushing to put out the fire. Is it necessary to fight so hard?"
Li Ye was stunned and turned to look at Tang Qiuyu and Xia Wutong, who had an angry look on his face, with a slight smile on his face.
"Mr. Tang, I wonder if I can come back soon. After all, I have to sweep the floor early tomorrow morning..."
When Xia Wutong heard this, he couldn't help shouting: "Can't you just be lazy for a day? You are not the only little monk in Prajna Temple."
When Tang Qiuyu heard his apprentice roar like this, the fire in his heart was extinguished and he couldn't help laughing.
Li Ye looked at the pair of master and apprentice with a headache, thought for a while, and smiled sheepishly.
He replied: "My master from the Great Buddha Temple once warned me that people cannot be lazy. As long as they are lazy once, they will want to be lazy a second time and a third time. If this continues, how do you want me to practice in Prajna Temple?"
What Li Ye said was true. Ever since he started practicing with his husband, he seemed to have only been lazy when he suffered from an inexplicable and strange disease on Tianshan Mountain.
The rest of the time I spent my whole life practicing. Even when I returned home, in addition to spending time with my family, I seemed to be practicing non-stop.
After hearing Li Ye's words, Tang Qiuyu glanced at Xia Wutong, and his eyes contained a lot of meaning.
Seeing her face turning red, she lowered her head in embarrassment, holding the hem of her skirt with her hands and turning it.
"What your master said is very good. We cultivators are all sailing against the current. If we don't advance, we will retreat. There is no time to be lazy. It seems that I was too used to Wutong in the past. After going to Xuantian Temple, you have to work harder. If you don't get the golden elixir, Fifth level, don’t go down the mountain!”
In the last two sentences, Tang Qiuyu's tone was very serious, without any intention of giving face to his apprentice.
When Xia Wutong heard this, he screamed in fright.
He walked forward and hugged Li Ye and said, "Master, you are too cruel. I am only at the third level. If you want me to break through to the second level on the mountain, won't it have to be next spring?"
Li Ye looked at her pretending to be frightened and couldn't help but reach out to touch her long hair, just like touching Mu Mu's long hair.
The frightened Xia Wutong did not notice Li Ye's action, but Tang Qiuyu secretly screamed that something was wrong.
Fortunately, I decided to leave Prajna Temple, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do...
After coughing softly, Tang Qiuyu pointed to the vaguely exposed roof in the distance and said, "You should be at Xuantian Temple not far ahead. If you work harder, maybe you can make it back to Prajna Temple."
Li Ye nodded, let go of Xia Wutong's long hair, and ran forward with his feet up.
Xia Wutong followed him with a blushing face. She seemed to have felt Li Ye's action just now.
"Junior Brother Li Ye, please slow down and wait for me." Xia Wutong, whose heart was beating fast, ignored the master behind him and ran away.
Tang Qiuyu, who was walking behind, shook her head, then nodded, and then smiled bitterly. She didn't know what she was thinking.
...
When Li Ye led Tang Qiuyu and Xia Wutong and pushed open the door of the bluestone courtyard, Mr. Li Hongxiu and his husband were sitting under the pear tree drinking tea.
Ouyang Dongli, who came down from the back mountain, was sitting next to him, but he didn't see Mu Mu's shadow.
The pear blossoms on the tree have faded, and the early summer sunshine has made the tree covered with small green fruits.
Li Ye greeted the three of them, pointed at Ouyang Dongli and said, "Mr. Tang, this is my new master Ouyang Dongli. Master Ouyang, these are Mr. Tang Qiuyu and her disciple Xia Wutong from Qingcheng. Sir, I am Where is my sister?"
Li Ye didn't see Mu Mu, and felt a little worried in his heart, even though he had only been away for a few days.
Tang Qiuyu and Xia Wutong came forward to greet his husband and Li Hongxiu, and then walked to Ouyang Dongli. The two of them were blessed.
The gentleman pointed to the chair beside the table and said, "Mr. Tang, please sit down. Long time no see."
Li Hongxiu looked at Li Ye's anxious look and rolled her eyes at him.
He replied angrily: "That lazy girl is taking a nap right now. I told her not to wake her up until she wakes up. I want to let her sleep today. I don't know what's going on with her."
When Li Ye heard this, he didn't react for a long time. After a while, he looked up at the sky.
Asked: "What time is it now? I'll wake her up." After saying that, he turned around and went into Mumu's room.
Tang Qiuyu sat down at the stone table, and Xia Wutong walked to Li Hongxiu and sat down next to her. The two lowered their heads and chatted quietly.
"I heard Li Ye say something about Mr. Ouyang. I didn't expect to see you here. Qiu Yu is really lucky."
Tang Qiuyu looked at Ouyang Dongli and greeted softly.
Ouyang Dongli laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "I didn't expect to see Qingcheng's legendary heroine in Xuantian. It's really rare."
Tang Qiuyu was stunned, with a shy look on his face.
He said calmly: "These are all random calls from practitioners in the five realms. Look at my pitiful cultivation, how can I be called a chivalrous woman?"
The gentleman on the side continued what Ouyang Dongli said: "Mr. Tang is so respectful. Who doesn't improve his realm step by step? Since everyone calls you a chivalrous woman, you deserve this title."
After speaking, he picked up three teacups from the tea tray, placed them on the table, and then picked up the kettle on the stove to pour tea.
Li Hongxiu looked at Tang Qiuyu and smiled slightly, then turned to look at her man with a troubled expression on her face.
It wasn't until her husband opened his mouth to ask that she said sheepishly: "Today is a good day. It's rare for Master Ouyang and Mr. Tang to come to our barren mountains with Wutong. It's just that almost all the ingredients purchased a few days ago have been eaten up." Okay, what should we do now?"
Tang Qiuyu was also stunned, turned to look in the direction where Li Ye went in, and said, "Wutong and I bought a lot, but we just left them all in the small courtyard where Li Ye lived in Prajna Temple..."
If I had known this, I should have brought some from Li Ye. Anyway, that guy didn't cook often.
The gentleman was slightly startled when he heard this, looked at Li Hongxiu and said: "Go to the kitchen in Guanli and take a look. They usually prepare more ingredients. The wind has been refreshing recently, so they may have hunted a lot of game... ..."
Ouyang Dongli looked at his husband and murmured: "Well... let's make do with it, as long as we have wine."
Tang Qiuyu also nodded and smiled, "Mr. Ouyang is right, it doesn't matter what you eat..."
Li Hongxiu quit, and pulled Xia Wutong to stand up, saying in a low voice: "That's not okay. You are just guests from afar. I'm going to look around. Maybe there will be some real game..."
"Where are you going to play, Master Wife? Take Mumu with you!"
Mu Mu, who was pulled up from the bed by Li Ye, heard that Li Hongxiu was going out, so she rubbed her eyes and shouted.
Li Ye followed her, speechless.
Li Hongxiu twisted his head and looked at her, beckoning: "Come here quickly, let's see who is coming?"
After speaking, he pointed to Xia Wutong behind him and showed it to Mu Mu.
Mu Mu and Xia Wutong had been playing together when they were in the Central Territory. Now that they suddenly saw their friends, they were completely sleepless.
A tiger jumped over and took her little hand, and the two became intimate instantly...
Seeing that the three of them were really about to go out, Tang Qiuyu had no choice but to stand up.
He greeted Li Hongxiu: "Well, let me go too."
Li Hongxiu was stunned, then nodded and waved to her: "Okay, I'll take you to visit the temple. The scenery here is different from your Qingcheng."
While talking, the four people left the small courtyard in a bustle.
...
"Are you staying to eat, or are you going back to the temple now?" The gentleman asked, knowing Li Ye's situation.
Li Ye looked up at the sky, thought for a while, and shook his head hesitantly.
He said: "Master Ouyang happens to be here too. This disciple has some questions and wants to ask the two gentlemen for advice."
Ouyang Donglihu opened his eyes and said, "Have you been away for a few days and you have doubts in your heart? Could it be that after working hard for several months, your mood is getting more and more unstable?"
After saying this, both gentlemen laughed.
Li Ye was speechless, thinking that I am asking you for advice seriously, can you not be more serious?
"These days, the disciple has felt that the "Formless Dharmakaya" is about to be completed, but there are always some doubts in his heart. This seventh-level mental method is about refining the soul, but the disciple feels that it is no different from cultivating spiritual consciousness."
"I was thinking of coming back next month to ask for advice, but Mr. Tang happened to be here, just in time..."
Li Ye muttered a lot, regardless of whether the two gentlemen understood it or not. After saying this, he reached for the teapot to quench his thirst.
The teacher and Ouyang Dongli were both stunned, staring blankly at the young apprentice in front of them. The two looked at each other speechlessly for a moment.
Ouyang Dongli smiled and said, "You are the master, come and help him solve his doubts."
After speaking, he picked up the herbal tea that Li Ye poured for him.
The gentleman looked at Li Ye's appearance, pondered, and after a while he said, "What is spiritual consciousness?"
Li Ye didn't even think about it and replied: "Didn't Sir, didn't you say that spiritual consciousness is the consciousness that condenses in the sea of consciousness after spiritual power turns into spiritual thoughts? The old monk at the Great Buddha Temple said that spiritual consciousness is eighty million in a glass of water. All living beings..."
When it comes to spiritual consciousness, Li Ye speaks up. After all, he has read a lot of Buddhist scriptures in the past few years of studying Buddhism.
The understanding of divine consciousness has long been beyond the understanding of ordinary practitioners.
Ouyang Dongli looked at the young apprentice in front of him, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
God in my heart is really discerning. Seeing that I was about to ascend and leave, I actually sent myself a disciple with unique cultivation and clever mind at the last moment to pass on my mantle. This life is really not in vain.
"Don't leave for a while. Come have a drink with me tonight." Ouyang Dongli interrupted the conversation between his husband and Li Ye.
