"What about the other way around?" Li Xiuyuan asked blankly without thinking.
"On the contrary, just like being inseparable, if you can't hear the Tao, you can only practice hard in the mountains for hundreds of years, hoping that one day you will be enlightened overnight."
The old monk said seriously: "I can't give you the method of integrating sword intention. You need to understand it yourself, but I can tell you the principles of yin and yang in the world."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I asked the female saint about the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and she told me some truths. I also felt it when I was at the edge of the cold lake just now."
"All things carry yin and embrace yang, and the energy is in harmony. What is evil in the world... is nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, and has a name, the mother of all things. Just like when you see the cold lake in front of the door... .”
The old monk looked at Li Xiuyuan's confused eyes and continued: "If the heaven and earth lose the adjustment of yin and yang, and the water of the cold lake cannot circulate endlessly, one day this place will become a big pit."
"So, do you have any understanding?"
The old monk looked at the young man in front of him, thinking that one day the young man would understand the power of yin and yang.
Then he would pass on his enlightened thoughts to his disciples, which would virtually save Bu Li from countless years of hard training.
At least, he no longer had to hide away from the secular world and hide in Xuefeng Mountain to meditate for countless years.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and asked seriously: "In this way, if this cold lake is compared to Ruoshui, the sun in the sky is compared to flames. After the flames embrace Ruoshui, they eventually turn into clouds in the sky..."
The old monk nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, thunder and lightning are the most powerful force of the sun, and then the clouds in the sky turn into heavy rain, returning to this cold lake..."
"In this way, the heaven, earth, wind, fire, thunder and lightning are all derived from the changes in the way of Yin and Yang... Then if this junior fuses the Ruoshui with the flame sword, wouldn't it mean that he has returned to the original beginning of all things... ..."
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan's barrier was wide open, like a person walking at night seeing the light not far away, feeling happy and running forward all the way.
At the moment, he is no longer eager to merge these two different sword styles.
In his opinion, the taiyin and the sun are constantly evolving like the yin and yang of heaven and earth. Is it possible that his two different sword powers will one day transform into the power of heaven and earth?
At this point, he couldn't help but take out the iron tongs and pick up a piece of red-hot charcoal from the small stove. He also took a teacup and poured half a cup of warm tea into it.
The moment the charcoal was put into the tea cup, it made a hissing sound, and a stream of air rushed out of the cup and rushed to the roof.
"This is the same as when a sword is forged and tempered..."
At this time, he thought of the time when he was sweating profusely in the mountains and reforging the Qiu Shui Wuhen for Tang Qiuyu for the first time.
After countless tempers, it is still inseparable from the bucket of snow water for quenching.
Even if there is only divine fire, if there is not a bucket of the simplest Ruoshui, even the gods will not be able to forge the simplest long sword.
"What is yin and yang? The position of the sky and the earth, the ventilation of mountains and rivers, the thinness of thunder and wind, the incompatibility of water and fire... This is the simplest principle of yin and yang, just like your water, fire and sword intentions."
The old monk pointed to Bu Li who was in a daze.
He smiled and said: "I hope that once you have an epiphany, you can tell me what this disciple is about the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and how to trace the yin and yang back to its origin and find the original truth."
Li Xiuyuan looked at Buli beside him and sighed softly, spreading his hands.
He smiled bitterly and said: "This disciple has just heard the Tao. He has heard it, thought about it, and practiced it. If he doesn't have to work hard for decades, I'm afraid he won't be able to succeed."
The old monk nodded, thinking that I don't expect you to reach the sky in one step.
Looking at the big birds flying over the cold lake outside the door, I thought that in a few days the spring breeze would rise, and Meishan would become lively.
Thinking of this, he looked at his disciple and said quietly: "Don't be in a hurry. If you don't leave, just spend a few more decades to practice hard in the world..."
This time, Monk Buli was sensible. He reached out and patted Li Xiuyuan on the shoulder and laughed.
He said: "Whether a monk can achieve enlightenment in the future depends entirely on you." Li Xiuyuan looked at the big birds flying over the lake and murmured to himself: "The birds are flying, winter is coming to an end, and spring is coming."
“Aren’t we still going to make wine on Meishan Mountain?”
When Monk Buli thought of what his master said, he thought that if he couldn't learn how to make wine, would he never be able to return to the mountain?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh and said: "Before I can rejoin the world to practice, I have to learn winemaking with you in Meishan, and those two guys..."
Li Xiuyuan nodded, looked back at the cold lake, and said quietly: "Wine-making is also a practice. When you brew a vat of fine wine by yourself, you will be able to understand what the fireworks of the world are."
Monk Buli was stunned, turned to look at him and said, "Then why didn't you tell me before at the Tongtian River?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and replied: "First of all, you didn't ask me, and secondly, I didn't have time to make wine along the way?"
Seeing Monk Buli's stunned look, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh softly, and took out the Buddhist scriptures he had copied and gently placed them in front of the two of them.
After a moment of silence, he said: "These two volumes of Buddhist scriptures were copied just yesterday... I don't have anything special for you, so I will give you this scripture as a gift. Please don't dislike it, senior monk."
Monk Buli waved his hand boldly, picked up a scroll and opened it with joy, and said seriously: "This is better than the spiritual stone. You still owe me two elixirs and a pot of monster meat..."
Monk Buli thought that he had broken through, and he had to seek some benefits for his senior brothers and junior brothers.
The old monk quietly picked up the Buddhist scripture in front of him, slowly opened a page, looked at the four words written on the title page, and couldn't help but frown.
He looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Isn't he Immortal Luoxia? Why did he become a wanderer in the heavens again?"
Li Xiuyuan took out a space ring and placed it in front of Monk Buli, and said quietly: "This is what I promised you, and I won't have it anymore..."
After saying that, he looked at the old monk and thought for a while, then said quietly: "I underestimated myself back then and thought of myself as the Immortal of Luoxia. It was only after meeting my senior that I felt as insignificant as dust."
After hearing what Li Xiuyuan said, Monk Buli woke up and was stunned for a moment.
"The younger generation left home to practice cultivation when he was young. Later, he finally achieved some achievements but had to leave his hometown... After thinking about it, he is just a wanderer in the world, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return home. "
Thinking about all the experiences he had along the way, Li Xiuyuan sighed again and again, looking at the master and apprentice and said quietly.
Although Monk Buli didn't fully understand what Li Xiuyuan said, he thought about it and patted him on the shoulder to express the most comfort.
Only the old monk understood the young man's difficulties, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
In his opinion, his disciple has not even left the Xuanwu Continent. The young man has already wandered around the world, and even he doesn't know what to do.
Perhaps when Monk Buli reaches the peak of his cultivation, he and his junior sister will leave the Xuanwu Continent and travel around the world.
Gently turning the pages of the scripture in his hand, the old monk couldn't help but sigh again and again when he saw the beauty of Buddhism in the lines.
He looked at Monk Buli and said, "This sutra is worth practicing for a lifetime... Don't let Li Xiuyuan's painstaking efforts go down."
Monk Buli gently opened the Buddhist scripture in his hand. After reading two paragraphs, he looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "What is the explanation of this scripture?"
Li Xiuyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said seriously: "I read this sutra firstly to understand Buddhism, and secondly to practice the Buddhist formless golden body..."
After being silent for a moment, Monk Buli asked in a daze: "Can the physical body really become a saint by cultivating the power of the Buddhist body?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the confused expression on Monk Buli's face and said quietly: "My master can do it. I believe in my master. Do you want to learn? If you are not afraid of hardship, I will teach you another day..."
Without caring about the old monk in front of him, Li Xiuyuan looked at Monk Buli and said seriously.
In his opinion, it was extremely difficult for him to cultivate the formless Dharmakaya in the first place, all because of the lack of cultivation resources in the five realms.
The Xuanwu Continent is so vast and rich in resources that there is no need to worry about resources for cultivation.
Monk Buli didn't expect Li Xiuyuan to be so generous. Looking at his face, he couldn't help but think of the time when he practiced hard with his master in Xuefeng Mountain many years ago.
There was just a moment of silence, and then anticipation began.
He looked at the old monk and asked: "Master, can I still practice Buddhism's physical power without leaving the present?"
"Why not?" The old monk looked at the completely different expressions of the two people and couldn't help but said: "There is no shortage of elixirs in the Xuanwu Continent. You just happen to be practicing Buddhism and using Buddhism to eliminate the murderous intention in your heart."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said: "If you want to cultivate the formless golden body, you must first cultivate the formless body... I will sort out the mental methods of the first volume for you after I return to Meishan."
"Is it so troublesome? There is also a volume of mental skills?"
Monk Buli was startled. In his opinion, the boy's physical body was already incredible. He didn't expect that there was another volume of skills before this.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "Only Buddhist disciples can understand the principle of the formless Dharma body...Buddha's method plus the elixir to temper the body, I think it won't be a problem for you."
Having said this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but raise his head and look at the cold lake outside the house, with a solemn expression on his face.
He murmured to himself: "The principles of the second volume of the phaseless golden body are in the scripture I gave you. You don't need to use elixirs to temper your body, but you need to suddenly understand the principles in this Buddhist scripture."
The old monk looked at the two men and nodded, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that the first volume is about understanding the principles of the law and tempering the body with elixirs. The second volume is about enlightenment."
Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and replied: "A senior once told me that the practice of the phaseless golden body is enlightenment. Once you realize it, you will break it... I am powerless to understand this truth."
Monk Buli shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Can you not study the first volume and start practicing from the first volume?"
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help but scolded: "How do you cultivate the golden body if you don't know the method?"
The old monk was so angry that he grabbed the wooden stick beside him and beat the monk Buli away.
He said loudly: "You idiot, do you want to make me angry to death?"
...
In the following days, Li Xiuyuan lived on Xuefeng Mountain.
When he had nothing to do, he came to cook a spiritual tea with the old monk, and the two had a meditation session. The old monk was very happy to praise him for his understanding of Buddhism.
But most of the time, Li Xiuyuan came to the Buddhist temple and sat quietly in front of the Buddha to ask his mind.
He could not go to the Buddhist temple on Mount Sumeru. Along the way, he had long forgotten how long it had been since he had seen the Buddha.
Seeing the Buddhas in the Xuanwu Continent again, the young man was still happy. Looking at the Buddhas in the main hall, he thought to himself that one day he would go to Buddhism to practice Taoism, and the most important destination would still be inseparable from the laws of the Tao.
Buddha is also the Tao, and he will never deviate from his teachings.
Just like his own sword power of water and fire, the final destination is the unity of yin and yang, turning into the original state of heaven and earth.
Although that day is still far away in his eyes, he believes that as long as he perseveres, one day he will reach the height of being equal to the sky as the old Taoist said.
Perhaps, when he returns to Loulan City and sees Meng Shentong, he should ask him for the Star Sword Technique.
Even if he can't practice it yet, he can understand the truth first.
Because he didn't know if the old Taoist priest would suddenly get nervous one day and kick himself back to the Shura Heaven.
In this way, I don't know what year or month I will be able to come back here and ask the teacher about the principles of the Star Sword.
After leaving the Buddhist hall to view the mountain scenery, Li Xiuyuan looked at the cornices of the hall and the vast mountains in front of him, and suddenly thought of what the old monk said.
Looking at Bu Li Shang beside him, he asked: "Seeing that spring is coming, please ask the holy monk to show us how to fish. What do you think?"
Monk Buli was stunned, looked at him and said: "Then we have to smash a hole in the ice of Han Lake..."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him, smiled, and said, "Go and ask the master. Let's smash a hole in the cold lake now."
