Li Ye and the others stayed in the temple for a whole winter, and finally ushered in the early spring of Tianshan Mountain.
Because Xia Wutong had the experience of practicing swordsmanship with Mu Mu before, after spending a whole winter practicing hard, he was finally able to cut the snow with one strike with the wooden sword in his hand.
Nangong Ruyu followed Li Ye for three years of continuous training, and like Xia Wutong, the two of them completed their respective training just as the last snowstorm on Tianshan Mountain was about to disappear.
Li Ye looked at the two people's joyful expressions and also showed a happy expression.
As long as the two of them have mastered this swordsmanship, they can just practice it slowly and improve step by step in the years to come.
Nangong Ruyu looked at Li Ye and said with a smile: "Master, Yu'er and sister have mastered your sword skills. What if you can't beat us in the future?"
In the little girl's memory, as long as she learned the master's unique skills, she would be able to defeat the master one day, which gave her young heart a sense of satisfaction and pride.
"You and your sister are great. From now on, it will be your turn to bully the master. If the master can't defeat you, why don't you just run away? The master is not afraid of others when he is running!"
At this time, Li Ye thought about how he had traveled more than two hundred miles in one day on his way from Fengyun City to the Central Region. I am afraid that he was unique among the practitioners in the Five Regions, right?
Xia Wutong heard Mu Mu talk about some of Li Ye's past and knew the story of his practice as a child.
Looking at the innocent Nangong Ruyu, he couldn't help but smile and said: "If your master starts running, I'm afraid no one in the five realms can catch up with him."
Li Ye was stunned, looked at her and smiled coquettishly; "Those things happened when I was a child. I didn't expect that you actually knew about it. It seems that either Master Niang or Mu Mu told you."
Speaking of Mu Mu, Li Ye, who had not been upset for a long time, felt as if he was pricked by a needle in his heart. He suddenly felt pain. He looked at Xia Wutong and was speechless.
Nangong Ruyu stretched out a hand, gently grabbed the corner of Li Ye's clothes, looked at him and asked: "Master, the snow has melted, can we leave?"
The little girl still remembered the purpose of coming to Tianshan this time. She also wanted to complete the Tianshan crossing as soon as possible and return to Nangong Nangong to see her grandfather and father.
"Let's go tomorrow and pack your belongings today!" Li Ye, who was speechless, suddenly heard Nangong Ruyu's words and subconsciously replied.
Xia Wutong seemed to know what Li Ye was thinking, and stopped talking to him, just sitting in silence in a daze.
Li Ye was silent for a while, his face still expressionless, and he just said lightly: "Maybe we can return to the imperial city this summer."
"Is it so fast? I feel like I just climbed up to Tianshan Mountain."
Xia Wutong didn't look at him and sighed softly.
"It's been a long time, sister. Yu'er remembers that we have spent two winters on Tianshan Mountain. Yu'er misses her father and grandpa..."
Nangong Ruyu looked at the two of them and said seriously.
"Master will send Yu'er home after we get off Tianshan Mountain, and let Xiaohua accompany you then."
Li Ye thought about it and finally couldn't take Nangong Ruyu with him all the time, because he didn't know if he would come back again, suddenly break through, and then leave the Five Realms. "
At least she is safe in the Nangong family. Xiaohua will be able to break through to the level of distraction in a few years. Nangong Xuanyuan is also in the late stage of distraction, so it should be enough to protect her granddaughter.
He still had to face the inevitable war in Beihai with Nalanyu's eldest prince.
"Master, don't you want Yu'er anymore? Do you want Yu'er to stay in the Nangong family? Then Yu'er won't go back. Let's go back to the imperial city with the master, okay?"
Nangong Ruyu suddenly became anxious when she heard that Li Ye was going to send her home.
Although she missed Nangong Xuanyuan and Wu Xin, she never thought about being separated from Li Ye. After these few years of life, her attachment to Li Ye has exceeded Wu Xin.
Li Ye couldn't help but feel dizzy when he saw her. He thought for a while and said, "Your grandfather's cultivation level is higher than that of your master. Xiaohua can protect you now, and your father and your uncle Wuyou are both in Nangong Shikong..." ..Master has some trouble to deal with.”
"What's the trouble? Yu'er is now very powerful and can help the master in fighting. If you don't believe me, ask your sister. Yu'er can kill the monsters on Tianshan Mountain long ago."
When Nangong Ruyu thought of her own cultivation, she patted her chest proudly and smiled proudly.
"You are the only one who is amazing. When my sister was as old as you, she was still in the realm of foundation building. You are really a little monster!"
Xia Wutong thought that when she went to Phoenix Mountain and fought with her junior sister, she was already eleven years old and only at the third level of the Golden Core. Nangong Ruyu was only a little over eight years old now.
"Our Yu'er is the most powerful little cultivator in our five realms."
Li Ye thought that even Mu Mu didn't seem to have broken through to Nangong Ruyu's level at such an old age. Of course Mu Mu's husband would not let her break through.
However, Nangong Ruyu's breakthrough was not decided by Li Ye. Everything happened inadvertently, just like Xia Wutong's breakthrough, which he did not notice.
"Then Yu'er and sister are going to pack things so that they can go exploring with the master tomorrow. Yu'er has not been to many places in Tianshan Mountains yet. We have to hurry up. There are flowers again in spring..."
"flower……"
Not only Nangong Ruyu and Xia Wutong liked those flowers, but sometimes Li Ye would pick a handful for no apparent reason and give them back to them. I don't know if it was because of Mu Mu.
However, sometimes Li Ye knows these thoughts, but most of the time he only acts subconsciously, just like when he stands in the snow, even if he has no sword in his hand, he will sometimes subconsciously swing his hand to chop it out.
It's like holding a bamboo sword in your hand.
Just like the young man who stood on the cliff of Tianshan Mountain and chopped snow many years ago.
Watching the two people leave the living room, Li Li walked out with his hands behind his back. He was about to leave here. He wanted to take a good look at the entire temple. He wanted to keep this temple in his life and his memory. inside.
Standing in the Buddhist hall, standing in front of the Buddhas, Li Ye carefully looked at every detail in the hall, wondering if he would be able to return here one day.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I didn't know when I left and how I could come back here again.
Sometimes, in the blink of an eye, it happens for a lifetime, and if you miss it, you will never see each other again.
While he was thinking about it, a piece of early spring petals was blown by the spring breeze of Tianshan Mountain, drifted into the hall with the wind, and fell into Li Ye's hands.
Li Ye was slightly startled, thinking that if the Buddha said that he would pick up flowers and smile, was he trying to persuade him to let go of all his obsessions?
It doesn’t matter if you leave, it doesn’t matter if you stay, there are surprises in and out of life. Could it be that when he went to Shura Kaiyu, he fell from heaven into hell?
If that was hell, why would the woman in white be willing to stay there, and how could Dongfang Yu'er's family be willing to leave and leave everything behind in the Five Realms?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If Brother Minghui were here, what kind of state of mind would he have? Or if the old monk of the Great Buddha Temple were standing at this moment, would he instantly realize the Tao and break through the realm?
After all, I am a human being and not a Buddha. Many principles used to seem like lengthy explanations, but when I really want to use them, I always feel that I am short of words.
However, how could Li Ye, who was unaware of it, know that his body had been transformed by the essence and blood of Shura and baptized by Buddha's light, so how could it be compared to those of practitioners from the Five Realms.
In terms of his physical body alone, he can compete with the cultivators of the Nine Tribulations Realm. What's more, his cultivation has been suppressed by the physical body. When his physical body breaks through, it will also be the day when his cultivation will break through. .
The current Li Ye is the cicada that has been lying dormant in the quagmire for many years. If it does not sing, it will not sing for twenty years. One cicada will shock the world and become famous in the five regions.
Looking through the heavy stone walls, Li Ye seemed to see through the entire temple at this moment, as if he had returned to the Great Buddha Temple and was in the Buddhist hall of Kuzen.
That year Li Ye once asked the old monk: "What is the way to suffering?"
The old monk smiled lightly and said, "Please listen to me recite this verse:"
The old man wears a mandarin coat, has a light meal to make his stomach full, and mends the wounds to keep out the cold, and everything goes as he pleases.
Some people scold me, but I only say good things; some people beat me, and I fall asleep;
With tears and saliva on my face, I just let him do what he wants. I save my energy and he has no worries.
In this way, paramita is a wonderful treasure. If you know this news, why worry about it?
After a while, looking at Li Ye who looked dumbfounded, the old monk continued with a smile: "For practitioners in the world, having less selfish desires and not fighting can bring great relief."
Li Ye nodded, agreeing with what he said.
"Everyone always has some unhappiness around them. This unhappiness is often caused by other people's jealousy, slander, satire, attacks or even persecution of you. How to get rid of these troubles around us is something we often have a headache. So some people understand that The fight ended in a bloody fight and both sides suffered losses.”
The old monk shook his head and sighed softly.
Li Ye touched his head and said, "Master, what does what you said have to do with me?"
"Why doesn't it matter? I want you to come to the temple to practice in a few days. But instead of going to the main hall to chant sutras, you will go to the dining hall to carry water and chop firewood. You will sweep the floor in the place assigned to you in the temple. In your free time, you will also go to the main hall to wipe the floor. floor."
Li Ye thought for a moment and realized that this was not much different from practicing in the mountains. He smiled and said, "Isn't this nothing?"
"What do you think? Many practicing monks in the temple will look down upon you, and people who come to the temple to burn incense and who know or don't know you will laugh at you."
The old monk looked at him lovingly and said seriously.
"Would you think that you obviously have a bright future, but you are reduced to carrying water, chopping firewood, sweeping the floor and washing dishes? You can't eat jade food, and you can't wear brocade clothes. Will you go crazy as a young and arrogant person?"
"Even if you insist on it for a day, ten days, a month or even a year, if you have to practice for ten years, will you give up halfway? The way of suffering is to let go of your self-esteem and worth and have a Can you persevere in a practice where there are no flowers and applause, and people who are close to you may even leave you?"
The old monk looked at Li Ye with a smile. "Whether it is Confucianism, Taoism or Buddhism, the principles of spiritual practice are actually the same. It's just that people in the world have differences in language and judgment. The principles taught to you by Sir are the same principles as what I am teaching you today."
...
I sighed lightly, and I didn't expect that I was listening to the old monk's sermon at the Great Buddha Temple yesterday, and more than ten years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Life is like dew and lightning, but at this moment he cannot see it that way.
Walking around to the back of the Buddhist hall, I saw that behind the Third Buddha there was a shape like a stone gate. I thought there might be a secret passage here. If so, who is it for? Who stayed?
Stretch out your hand and gently push the stone door...
After a lot of effort, the stone gate remained motionless.
Li Ye was unwilling to give in and increased his strength. Unexpectedly, Shimen still didn't respond.
However, after he exerted force several times, the dust on the stone door fell down, revealing the scriptures on both sides of the stone door. He reached out and gently touched the two scriptures, which made Li Ye feel shocked.
Just because the two lines of text on the stone door are actually the same as the two lines of scripture on the temple that disappeared after I recited it once.
Although he didn't know what was going to happen, he couldn't help chanting it playfully.
Eliminate doubts and generate trust, and determine the superior sect.
As I left, as I came.
