I stayed in Prajna Temple for more than ten days and made tea with Master Minghui twice.
After explaining his free itinerary clearly, under the look of little monk Wuyou with a look of reluctance, Li Ye walked down the stone steps at the mountain gate in front of the hall and embarked on the journey to Xuantian Temple on the north slope.
In the words of Master Minghui, Li Ye may have had the opportunity to practice the seventh level of "The Formless Dharmakaya" during this trip.
Li Ye was full of hesitation in the morning breeze, thinking that no matter what, he must seize the invisible opportunity to find the elixir needed for the seventh level of practice.
The mountain is high and I am the peak, so I have to climb to the top first.
He did not rush to see his husband, but bypassed Xuantian Temple and went directly to Ouyang Dongli's cabin.
"Seeing that you are not full of energy, it seems that your mood has improved a little this time you returned to Prajna Temple, right?"
Ouyang Dongli, who was lying outside the wooden house, said with a smile.
"Thanks to the blessing of the master, the disciple just figured out some things on his mind and is no longer as entangled as usual. As for entering the country, it is not a problem."
Li Ye replied respectfully.
Ouyang Dongli asked: "You haven't met your husband and wife yet, right?"
Li Ye nodded and said, "This disciple would like to practice here for a few more days to sharpen his will while continuing to temper Mr. Tang's Autumn Water Sword."
Waving his hand, Ouyang Dongli smiled and said: "Then go on your own and don't bother me sleeping. Remember to put in a few more wolf bones to temper!"
"Disciple, please remember this!" Li Ye kowtowed to Ouyang Dongli and turned to head to the blacksmith shed on the mountain.
...
When he came outside the blacksmith shed, Li Ye made a pot of tea to cool down while lighting a fire.
Looking at the gradually burning fire, he smiled faintly, took off his coat, bare his arms, dragged out the wooden box containing the bones of the Wind Chaser Wolf, picked up two bones and stuffed them into the fire.
Suddenly, a blue flame rose in the red hearth, resembling a wolf soul jumping and burning in the fire.
He took out the face embryo of Tang Qiuyu's Qiu Shui Sword and stuffed it into the stove. Pulling the small bench behind him, Li Ye began to turn on the bellows and increase the intensity of the fire.
"If you want to learn casting, you must first learn to refine fire." It seemed that what the master said made sense, Li Ye murmured to himself.
After adding the bones of the Wind Chaser Wolf to the fire, the temperature of the flame doubled. Even Li Ye, who was sitting pulling the bellows but had not yet swung the hammer, was dripping with sweat.
"It seems that this time when I go to the mountains to collect medicine, I have to inquire about the bones of spiritual beasts. Otherwise, the bones of the wind-chasing wolf probably won't melt the iron from the sky that the master gave me."
Shaking his head, he muttered to himself.
Looking at the gradually red-hot sword embryo, Li Ye stood up, grabbed the hammer and iron pliers from the ground, took out the sword embryo and placed it on the sword-making platform. He picked up the iron and started hammering it.
This is my first time forging a sword, and it is still a bit lacking for me after repeated attempts.
You have to spend ten times or a hundred times the effort to hone it. When this sword is formed, you can almost start to forge your own epee.
It will take half a year or even longer to defeat Tang Qiuyu's Qiushui Sword.
I don’t know how much time and effort it will take when I master the epee.
When a saint forges a sword, he has the help of spiritual fire, heaven and earth are furnaces, and all things are embryos. But now I can't even reach the level of the earth-fire fusion vessel. No wonder it takes more effort and time.
clang clang clang clang clang......
Surrounding the rising fire, Li Ye sweated profusely.
The red-hot sword embryo, under the heavy blow of the hammer, sparks flew...
The thoughts in my heart, the hammer in my hand, and the impact point of the blow are all integrated.
When the fire cooled down a little, Li Ye threw a few more ores and wolf bones into the furnace, and pulled the bellows in his hand to keep the fire at an extremely high temperature.
Li Ye burned the fire, tempered the sword embryo, and hammered the sword body. Li Ye maintained the same speed from afternoon to nightfall, tirelessly.
Ouyang Dongli brought him food. Seeing his busy posture, he didn't greet him. He just put down the food and turned around and went down the mountain.
The simple and boring repetition, the crazy rhythm, but Li Ye didn't feel anything at all and was completely immersed in the practice.
The power of the physical body is transferred through the muscles of the arm to the hammer, and it falls again and again...
Li Ye was forging swords and practicing, day and night.
When he woke up, he would light up the fire and hammer the sword embryo. When he was hungry, he would eat the food sent by Ouyang Dongli. When he was tired, he would go to the cave to sleep.
This was repeated for ten days.
In the early morning of the eleventh day, Ouyang Dongli stopped Li Ye and grabbed the Qiushui sword embryo on the sword-making platform.
Ouyang Dongli stretched out his hand to support it gently, and sighed softly: "What an embryo of Qiushui Sword, it has been imprinted with a trace of Chasing Wind Wolf's soul under your hard work day and night."
Li Ye looked at him and laughed twice.
He was indeed exhausted these days.
"The name of the sword is Qiu Shui, and the sword passes without leaving a trace. From now on, let's call it Qiu Shui without a trace. After all, Zhui Feng Lang was unparalleled in his life, and his speed was as fast as lightning..."
Holding the sword embryo with his hand, Ouyang Dongli was filled with emotions.
"It's just that as a result, Tang Qiuyu's original scabbard can no longer accommodate the sword imprinted with the soul of the Wind Chasing Wolf. It seems that you have to spend some time to forge another sword box for her. "
Looking at the sword embryo in his hand, Ouyang Dongli sighed again.
"Qiushui Wuhen? This name is so wonderful!" Li Ye took the sword embryo from Ouyang Dongli's hand and looked at the trace of blue flames on the sword body, like a running wolf chasing the wind, and like a burning streak. of flame.
"I think Mr. Tang will also like this name."
Li Ye, who was in shock, also sighed softly.
"Are you working hard day and night and not paying attention?"
Ouyang Dongli looked at Li Ye's confused face and joked.
Li Ye was startled, looked at him and murmured back: "Disciple practices day and night, never giving up day and night, how could he care to look closely at the lines of the sword embryo."
Ouyang Dongli sighed again and said: "Is this just deliberately planting flowers and unintentionally planting willows? You can be regarded as creating a miracle. You used the most unlikely material to create a spiritual sword and forged it, which is unique in the five realms. Spiritual sword.”
After marveling, Ouyang Dongli couldn't help laughing wildly as he looked at his disciple.
Li Ye thought for a while, looked at Ouyang Dongli and asked: "Master, you have never taught me about this sword box, and you don't have the materials. I have to wait until I ask Mr. Tang and ask her to find some materials. Master You teach me how to cast again.”
Ouyang Dongli, who was in high spirits, turned to look at Li Ye who was smiling innocently, and couldn't help but kick him.
He scolded: "Didn't you see that I was in high spirits? Don't you understand that if you mention this nonsense later, isn't it just a sword box? I made it in just a few strokes."
Li Ye dodged Ouyang Dongli's kick.
He smiled and said, "How do I know the depth of your practice, master? If I don't understand, I can naturally ask you! Since I am no longer practicing, I want to go to my husband today to discuss the day when I will go to the mountains to collect herbs."
"Go and don't bother me!" Ouyang Dongli smiled.
"Senior Brother Minghui told me that this trip to the mountain may be a great opportunity for me to practice the "Shadowless Dharmakaya". Maybe I can find the elixir I need to temper my body."
Li Ye looked at him and said seriously. What he was most concerned about right now was his own cultivation.
Ouyang Dongli glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't just look for your body-tempering elixir. The animal bones you need to make the sword are much more advanced than this wind-chasing wolf."
"The bones of the Wind Chaser Wolf in front of you can only melt your black iron at best, but it will never be able to melt the extraterrestrial death iron I gave you."
Li Ye was stunned, looked at Ouyang Dongli and laughed stupidly, and replied: "It seems that when I go into the mountain this time, I will not only look for the legendary elixir, but also look for something that even the master has never seen before." The bones of the spiritual beast.”
"Nonsense, I asked my master to prepare everything for you, why do you still need to practice?"
Ouyang Dongli rolled his eyes at him, then pointed down the mountain and said, "Don't you, your husband, like to say that reading can teach you everything, why not travel thousands of miles? Going to the mountains to collect scriptures this time is considered a journey, so you have to practice hard."
Li Ye turned back to look at Ouyang Dongli, then turned to look in the direction of Xuantian Temple at the foot of the mountain, and replied quietly: "Everything is subject to the arrangements of the master and sir."
Ouyang Dongli smiled, pointed at the sword embryo in his hand and said: "You have to be careful when going into the mountains to collect herbs. Don't leave without ever returning. Come back to rest for a few days when the time is right. The cooled sword embryo is still needed. Only by hammering and tempering can you make a sword!"
Li Ye was startled and murmured: "I originally planned to go to the mountain and come back in February. After listening to the master's words, it seems that I need to discuss it with my husband and change the itinerary."
Ouyang Dongli ignored him and turned towards the wooden house where he lived.
As he walked, he said: "Pack up the things in the shed. When you go down the mountain, greet your husband and wife for me. When you go into the mountain to collect herbs, remember that your master is here. Leave a portion of the good herbs for me." "
Li Ye was stunned, looked at Ou Yang Dongli's back and asked, "Does the master also need the herbs from this mountain?"
"Nonsense, among the practitioners in the five realms, who would dislike the elixirs and herbs in this spiritual mountain?"
Ouyang Dongli's angry voice came from afar.
Looking at Ouyang Dongli who was gradually going away, Li Ye grinned: "I also want to collect more medicinal herbs and let Master Niang and Mu Mu take them to the Buddha Capital at the foot of the mountain to sell them for gold coins. It seems that they can be used for gold coins." I need to collect more and leave one for the master."
"I wonder how Mr. Tang will feel after looking at the sword embryo that is about to take shape and hearing the name of the sword given by the master?"
Li Ye muttered to himself while packing up the items in the shed.
"Qiu Shui Wuhen, the name of this sword is so beautiful, why didn't I think of it? I wonder what kind of name I will give my epee when it comes out?"
Picking up the teapot, Li Ye drank all the herbal tea inside and put away the Qiu Shui Wuhen Sword embryo.
He dragged the wooden box containing the bones of the Wind Chaser Wolf into the cave, washed the sweat stains on his body with spring water, put on some clean clothes, and then walked down the mountain in the direction of Xuantian Temple.
After not seeing his husband and Mu Mu for nearly a month, Li Ye felt a little worried.
Thinking of the word "care", Li Ye suddenly thought of the young lady far away.
I don’t know if she stayed in Fengyun City to accompany her parents, or if she returned to the distant Phoenix Mountain.
Calculating that the young lady is almost thirteen years old, I am also eleven years old.
Although they were young, their mood was not simple. At this time, Li Ye suddenly felt a little uneasy.
I wonder if in a few years, when the two meet again, it will be as simple as yesterday.
