It was just the most ordinary sword, without any surge of true energy or physical brute force.
It was just a slanted sword, and he even forgot to make a gesture to draw a sword flower.
He whispered a sentence: "Zhan Xue!"
He took a breath, opened his eyes, and looked at the Qiu Shui Wuhen in his hand. Even though he had practiced to the point where his heart was still, he couldn't help but grinning...
Years of hard work have finally paid off.
A sword slashed out, seven snowflakes bloomed.
Looking at the vast mountains, Li Ye couldn't help but roar.
If there were wings on his back, he would want to fly back to the small bluestone courtyard and have a heart-to-heart talk with his husband.
If the mountains and rivers were not so far away, he would have wanted to fly back to Fengyun City thousands of miles away, cook another pot of hot pot with his parents in the Zizhu Courtyard, and take his sister Li Xiaoxue to visit Fengyun City.
like......
The "boom" sound turned out to be the snow on the broken pine behind him. The snow covered it was too heavy, and under Li Ye's sword energy, it was unable to bear the weight and fell down together with the pine branches.
Falling under the stone cliff, the snow quickly spreads along the pine branches, blooming the last beauty of life.
Li Ye lowered his head and looked at the scene in front of him, his heart moved slightly. The longing, joy and entanglement in his heart were washed away by the scene in front of him, and a calmness like a cold pool emerged.
At this moment, he figured out everything. Not every effort will be rewarded, and not all good things will have a perfect ending.
Work hard, no matter what you get in the end, it is wonderful to be able to enjoy the process.
Just like the snow clinging to the pine branches on the broken pine tree, one day it would be unable to bear the weight and both of them would fall to the bottom of the cliff.
Seeing means owning, so why should I hold you in my arms?
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt nostalgic for the old monk at the Great Buddha Temple and Brother Minghui at the Prajna Temple.
If I could make tea and discuss scriptures with one of these two people right now, it would be a great thing in life.
At the beginning of spring, it’s time to go back to Prajna Temple.
When it comes to meditation machines, Ming Hui is better than the old monk in the Great Buddha Temple.
Putting away the autumn water without trace, shaking off the snowflakes all over his body, Li Ye walked towards the house with his feet up.
"If you were here, senior brother, I would definitely say: This green mountain will still be that green mountain."
Li Ye muttered in his heart.
...
"Isn't this Qingshan a Qingshan?" On the southern slope of Fangcun Mountain, in the Buddhist hall of Prajna Temple.
Minghui, who was holding flowers and chanting sutras, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her heart and couldn't help but murmured.
He looked up at the flying snow in the sky and said thoughtfully: "I wonder how my junior brother is doing in Xuantian Temple? Could it be that he has found the opportunity to practice the "Formless Dharma Body"? If this is true, it is really a miracle. ”
...
In the small bluestone courtyard, Tang Qiuyu was making arrangements for Mu Mu and Xia Wutong to try on the red cotton-padded jackets they bought from the Buddhist capital.
"Master Wife, why are you wearing this red cotton-padded jacket? Mu Mu likes white ones." Mu Mu was resisting with her lips curled up.
"Sister Mu Mu, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Of course you have to wear red. It looks festive." Xia Wutong comforted her at the side.
"Then why don't you wear it?" Mu Mu curled her lips, pointed at the gentleman in a green shirt, and turned to look at Li Hongxiu.
Li Hongxiu was stunned, not knowing how to answer. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Sir, they are men, they are not so particular."
After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Tang Qiuyu behind him, and thought to himself: Isn't it impossible?
Tang Qiuyu didn't know what she was thinking. While adjusting the wrinkles of Xia Wutong's cotton-padded jacket, he said with a smile: "This man only wears red robes on the wedding day. Mu Mu, don't cause trouble with sir."
Mu Mu nodded in realization and said with a smile: "Sir, you have already worn it once in Fengyun City. When will you wear it again for Mu Mu to see?"
After saying that, he looked expectant.
After hearing this, Tang Qiuyu's heart was in confusion, and her face instantly flew into two red clouds.
Li Hongxiu laughed loudly after hearing this, patted Mu Mu on the arm and said, "Mu Mu is so good, she actually knows how to think about things for your husband."
Xia Wutong didn't understand, and was just arranging the two embroidered flowers on the front.
The husband also blushed, and said sarcastically: "It's almost New Year's Eve, and I don't know when Ye Ha will be back."
Seeing that her man had changed the subject, Li Hongxiu couldn't continue talking.
He took it for granted and replied: "Don't worry, even if your precious apprentice doesn't come back, that guy from the back mountain will definitely come to eat and drink."
Tang Qiuyu couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Hongxiu teasing Ouyang Dongli.
He replied softly: "Sister, don't talk nonsense. After all, Mr. Ouyang is also Li Ye's master. I still owe him the cost of making swords."
"What the heck, it's not like he cast it himself. It belongs to that little guy Li Ye. Even if you want to give money in the future, give it to me. I'll take care of the money for him."
Li Hongxiu laughed, his eyes seemed to be filled with countless gold coins.
"You still have to give Mu Mu half, and Mu Mu also has to take care of your brother's money."
The little money fan followed Li Hongxiu and began to chatter.
...
"Am I going to stop here? Or has the refining failed?"
Li Ye, who had been refining in the cave for eighty-one days, looked at the much smaller immortal dragon soul and murmured softly.
After these eighty-one days of refining, he had refined nearly half of the dragon's immortal dragon soul.
I feel that my divine sea has grown several times, and there is no obstacle to running the seventh-level mental method of "The Formless Dharmakaya". I feel that I have touched the bottleneck of the eighth level.
No matter how much he practiced in the past two days, he could not refine the remaining dragon soul even half an inch, just like the gentleman and others were isolated from the cave and could not move forward.
It seems that I can only wait until I see my husband before quietly asking him for advice.
...
In the past ten days, Li Ye has stopped carving scriptures in the cave and copied scriptures in the wooden house. In his opinion, whether he is carving on the stone wall or copying scriptures on blank paper, it is A way to practice.
Since he gave up refining the dragon soul, he had a lot more time.
As a result, he spent more time by the Earth Fire Pond. He ran around the Earth Fire Sword Forging Platform and the Cold Pond near the square every day, and didn't let go until he was about to lose his strength.
Although I was exhausted every day, I gained a lot.
He clearly felt that his physical strength, which had been absent for a long time, was slowly growing. The weight on his body plus the sword embryo of more than 100 kilograms was no longer as heavy in his hand as it was at the beginning.
The speed of going back and forth between the Earth Fire and the Cold Pond is getting faster and faster every day.
If it weren't for the fact that the dragon soul had not changed much, he would have even doubted whether he had completed the seventh level of the "Formless Dharma Body".
Li Ye even had an impulse, like the heavy sword in his hand, to jump into the cold pool to temper his body.
When I was thinking about it, I heard a "dong" sound, and the sword embryo in my hand accidentally fell into the winter vacation pool...
"I...no!" Li Ye shouted and threw himself into the cold pool without thinking.
Every day when he came to the cold pool for quenching, he would hold the sword embryo with iron tongs, carefully place it on the edge of the cold pool, and pick it up immediately after quenching.
Today, because I was so happy, I held it in my hand to appreciate it, forgetting that there was a cold pool behind me.
Unexpectedly, one second I was thinking about whether I should jump into the cold pool to temper my body, and the next second my prediction came true...
It was just that it was too late for him to regret it. The moment he jumped into the cold pool, there was only one feeling in his body.
It was pain, a bone-piercing pain that reached into the bone marrow, and the blood in the whole body was almost frozen.
Feeling that the weight was slowly falling, Li Ye came back to his senses and hurriedly ran the seventh level of the "Phaseless Dharma Body" to resist the endless cold.
His eyes were of little use in the dark cold pool. He could only resist the increasingly cold chill while using his consciousness to touch the falling sword embryo.
He didn't know how deep the cold pool was. He only knew that if he didn't grab the heavy sword, it would be difficult to find it.
...
From the sword embryo falling to him jumping into the cold pool, it was almost at the same time. Everything happened in that flash of lightning.
At the moment when his whole body was covered with thick ice, he was about to lose his life.
He felt his frozen right hand touch the corner of the sword embryo...
Summoning the last bit of strength in his body, he held the sword tightly and hit the stone wall of the cold pool hard.
Taking advantage of the force of this rebound, his whole body tried his best to dive into the cold pool.
...
After crawling out of the cold pool while trembling, I found that my right hand was already clenched with the sword embryo, and I couldn't let go. Although I was anxious, I didn't dare to take out the fire stick to light a fire.
He could only lie on the ground and run his formless body to continue to resist the coldness all over his body, waiting for the solidified ice and snow around his body to slowly melt away.
"I've really walked into hell. I won't be able to risk my life like this again."
He sighed in his heart that the cultivation of the two realms of ice and fire was not something he could play with in his current state.
At the very least, we have to wait until the restriction in the dantian is broken and we can use the power of true energy plus the strength of the physical body before we can try it.
After lying on the cold ground for more than half an hour, the ice that had accumulated all over his body finally melted away. He felt that his limbs could move again, and then he dragged his exhausted body slowly out of the cave.
I just want to drink a bowl of hot porridge and soak in a bucket of hot water.
These two requests, which are usually the most common, he was unable to meet at this time.
He quickly boiled a pot of hot water, scrubbed his body, put on clean clothes, poured half a pot of hot water into the kettle, and quickly got into bed.
While gnawing on the dried meat left by his husband and drinking hot water from the pot, his teeth kept chattering and his whole body kept shaking.
Go deep into the mountains and meditate on Buddhism.
Also see that one is free from desire and is always free,
Practice meditation deeply and gain the five supernatural powers.
I saw the Bodhisattva again, meditating and putting his palms together.
...
As I recalled the thrilling scene just now, I chanted the Lotus Sutra unconsciously, and gradually my heart returned to its former peace.
The pain all over his body caused by falling into the cold pool is disappearing little by little, just like the drop of ink in his pen when he copied the scriptures.
After entering the cave for nearly three months, he practiced hard every day. Although the physical skills were not yet perfect, the casting of the heavy sword was gradually getting better. Coupled with the dragon soul in his body, Li Ye was happy in his heart.
Looking at the firelight in the room and the carvings on the pine wood, I murmured to myself: It's time to go back.
Looking up, there is a snowy moon hanging in the cold night sky on Fangcun Mountain.
Tomorrow, it should be good weather.
