Erwa did not expect to see Monk Buli, who had disappeared for a year, in the spring.
Similarly, in Buli's opinion, Erwa is not short of money now, so why did he return to the Tongtian River to do business?
When the two settled the horses and sat in the food shed boiling water and making tea, Cuihua and Erwa failed to recognize that Li Xiuyuan in front of them was the boy from last year.
Cuihua looked at Monk Buli and asked, "Monk, where was that little brother last year? Why didn't he come back with you?"
After looking again and again, Cuihua finally laid her eyes on Li Xiuyuan.
No matter how smart she was, she couldn't connect the gray-black boy with no mask on his face to the guy from last year who could kill someone with just a wave of his hand.
Erwa looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Is the young master the monk's new friend?"
While Li Xiuyuan poured the spiritual tea into the pot, he looked at Erwa's side face and said, "Last year you drank my wine and collected my spiritual stones. How long did it take before you forgot about me?"
Erwa couldn't help being shocked when he heard it, and looked at him speechless. It was just a year since they last saw him, and he didn't expect that the boy had changed his appearance again.
Seeing the young man without any anger in front of her, Cuihua couldn't help but ask: "What happened to you in Yinchuan City? How did you end up like this?"
Monk Buli glanced at Li Xiuyuan, waved his hand and said, "He's fine. Hurry up and get a bowl of meat over here. I'm going to starve to death all the way here."
Cuihua took Erwa's hand and said, "Hurry up and heat up the mutton."
Erwa didn't believe it. She stepped forward and took Li Xiuyuan's hand and rubbed it carefully. Then she laughed and said, "What can we do?"
"I've long been used to it."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the couple and shook his head, pointed at the monk Buli beside him and said with a smile: "He is used to it, it's okay."
Cuihua looked at the two of them and sighed, and asked in a low voice: "You are not in a hurry, why don't you rest here for the night?" Shuo Wu raised his head and looked at the sky outside the shed.
I saw that the night fog had already risen over the Tongtian River. It would definitely be inconvenient for the two of them to rush on their way after eating and drinking.
Seeing that Li Xiuyuan didn't speak, Monk Buli waved his hand and said, "I'm not leaving. I'll have a good drink with you and your wife."
When Cuihua heard this, she was filled with joy and went to prepare some food for a while.
At the same time, he shouted to Erwa: "Get more food. It seems that no ships will come here due to the weather."
Li Xiuyuan squinted at the night sky, and then glanced around the wooden shed.
After a long while, he said softly: "This place is good, you can practice here from now on..."
Ever since the old monk told him that Monk Buli wanted to transform into a mortal body and step into the realm of mortal transformation, he had been thinking about this troublesome matter.
In his opinion, it was not a good idea to follow Monk Buli to Tianyun Mountain with him or to return to Loulan City.
The two people practice different methods, so the best way is to separate them.
What he wanted was to seek a chance for nirvana in the midst of the fight between life and death, but Monk Fuli put down his butcher knife and completely washed away the murderous aura from his body.
Monk Buli was shocked when he heard this. Looking at such a simple wooden shed, he couldn't help complaining: "Are you crazy to let me practice in such a place?"
"What? Are you afraid of hardship, or are you afraid that the monks in the past will cause trouble for you?"
Li Xiuyuan poured spiritual tea into the cup and said quietly: "You are different from me. What you need is to forget that you are a great monk in the Fusion Realm and get rid of your murderous aura."
When Monk Buli heard this, he couldn't help but fell silent.
Thinking about it carefully, what Li Xiuyuan said was true. If he really went to Loulan, he might not be able to help but kill this guy when he was in danger.
In this case, wouldn't it be impossible to transform into a mortal?
Li Xiuyuan looked at the silent monk Buli and said with a smile: "You start with this couple for a few days. When he has learned the skill almost enough, let them go home."
Having said this, Li Xiuyuan took out the copy of the formless body cultivation method and quietly placed it in front of the monk Buli.
He said seriously: "As far as you are concerned, the Tongtian River is your human world. Use the fireworks here to dissolve the murderous aura in your body...and then quietly practice the formless body... .”
"If you are short of elixir, ask a passing merchant to go to Snow City or Yinchuan City to buy it for you. In short, from tomorrow on, you will no longer be a great monk on Xuefeng Mountain."
In Li Xiudi's opinion, even if Monk Buli spends five or even ten years here, it is worthwhile to cultivate the Formless Dharmakaya to perfection and get rid of the murderous intention in his life.
The old Taoist priest once told him that it would be a very good thing to spend hundreds of years to enter the realm of mortal transformation.
Time is not a problem for him or Monk Buli.
Monk Buli silently put away the exercises written by Li Xiuyuan, looked at the couple busy at the stove, and couldn't help but sigh.
He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that one day, the monk would enlighten himself and practice by the Tongtian River."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, thinking that your current state of mind has certainly not reached the state of asking heaven and seeking Tao.
But if you can't even bear the suffering now, how can you think about stepping into the realm of mortal transformation?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh, thinking that this old monk from Xuefeng Mountain was very light-hearted. He threw a huge burden to me with just one sentence.
I have not yet entered the mortal world, but I want to think about how to teach you to become a mortal first.
If an old Taoist priest knew about it, would he laugh at me?
Li Xiuyuan, with a solemn look on his face, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and then said: "If you saw the heaven and earth on the top of Xuefeng Mountain, saw the Buddhas in the main hall on the mountainside, and saw yourself..."
Putting down the slightly hot tea cup in his hand, Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said word by word: "Then, let's go see all living beings by the Tongtian River..."
"To see the heaven and the earth, to see oneself, to see all sentient beings...what...what does it mean to see oneself?"
After hearing this sentence, Monk Buli couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He looked at Li Yuan and asked blankly.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at him and said: "You are desire. Mortals have seven emotions and six desires, including greed, anger and delusion. Only when you see yourself and feel your true self will you be open-minded and brave."
Monk Buli frowned slightly and then asked: "What about heaven and earth?"
"What is heaven and earth?" Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "Heaven and earth are Tao and laws. The moon waxes and wanes, and people are born, old, sick and die..."
"Only when we see heaven and earth can we understand the vastness of heaven and earth and how small we are, how to be humble, and how to turn away the murderous aura in you."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and smiled bitterly: "Didn't your master teach you these principles in your past practice?"
Monk Buli shook his head, frowned and replied: "Master said some principles are too obscure, and he said he would teach me after a few years... So, how do you see sentient beings?"
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said softly: "All living beings are human nature, monsters, monsters, fame, wealth, power and emotions. Only when you meet and understand all living beings can you learn to be tolerant and develop a compassionate heart."
"Seeing all sentient beings means that you will transcend, transcend the limitations of seeing heaven and earth, step out of the prison of heaven and earth, and see all sentient beings."
Afraid that Monk Buli would find it troublesome, Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly.
He continued to explain: "When you do business here every day, cooking the same spiced mutton and serving it to guests of different transitions, you meet monks from the Holy Land, and even your old acquaintances. To you, they are all sentient beings."
"See the joys and sorrows of all sentient beings, see the laughter and curses of all sentient beings, forget that you are a great monk on Xuefeng Mountain, remember that you are just the shopkeeper in this wooden shed..."
Speaking of this, Li Xiuyuan not only saw the future of Buli Monk, but even saw himself after returning to the Five Realms one day.
Just like when he first met his husband in the Purple Bamboo Courtyard of Fengyun City.
The gentleman at that time gave him the feeling that he was just an elegant gentleman like his father.
"Then what? What else do I have to do?"
Monk Buli frowned, looking at the young man in front of him as if he were a stranger. He couldn't help but ask again and again, just wanting to express all the doubts in his heart.
"Then I'll charge you the money you deserve. Even a silver coin must be counted carefully, and you're not allowed to reveal your cultivation to others until it's a matter of life or death..."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said seriously: "Is it possible that the merchants you like to interact with regard you as a monster? If so, how can you practice here?"
"Here comes the mutton! Fresh spiced mutton!"
Erwa came over with a large pot of mutton, and Cuihua lightly dusted the dust off her broken tea skirt.
Looking at the two of them, he smiled and said, "You two have been sitting here muttering for a long time. What are you talking about?"
Erwa chuckled and said, "Bring out your wine, I've been craving it for a whole year."
Li Xiuyuan took out a jar of spiritual wine and placed it on the table.
Looking at Monk Buli, he smiled and said, "Just in time, I asked Erwa to help you buy the necessary items for making wine, so you can continue making wine by the Tongtian River."
After saying that, he reached out and picked up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks. He looked at the couple and said, "From tomorrow onwards, this store will be managed by Buli. All the money he earns belongs to you..."
Watching Monk Buli pour the spirit wine into the cup, Li Xiuyuan patiently explained their decision to the two of them.
Then he fumbled in his arms for a long time, took out a space ring, and took out all the spiritual stones inside. Hundreds or thousands of spiritual stones were piled on the ground instantly.
Li Xiuyuan patted the stunned Erwa on the shoulder and said with a smile: "These spirit stones are enough for you and your wife to work hard for most of your life. From now on, I will leave this place to Buli."
After speaking, he looked at Cuihua and said: "You just need to replenish the ingredients he needs for business on time, and he will pay you extra..."
Without saying anything, Cuihua took out a piece of floral cloth and put away the spiritual stones in front of her one by one, and then took out a space ring from her pocket, which Li Xiuyuan gave to her last year.
In front of the two of them, Cuihua put all the spiritual stones into the space ring, and then carefully put the space ring away.
Then he patted his chest and said, "I don't care what you two want to do. From now on, the monk will be the shopkeeper here, and we, husband and wife, will help him."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "You first teach him how to cook mutton, how to stir-fry... Then go home and come here to collect money from time to time..."
Monk Buli couldn't help but laugh bitterly when he heard this: "In this case, wouldn't the monk not even have anyone to talk to?"
Erwa was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time. Those spiritual stones were probably something that the couple would never be able to earn back after a lifetime of hard work.
Cuihua accepted the money, thinking that she would be able to see the monk every day in the future, thinking that this was a good job and she liked it.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "If you can't even endure this pain, what qualifications do you have to practice Buddhist teachings? Why don't you go back to the Snow Mountain tomorrow!"
Monk Heli was silent for a moment after listening to Li Xiuyuan's words.
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, his face gradually turned pale, and cold sweat broke out all over his body and wet his clothes. He thought that he almost forgot the important things taught by his master.
I came to this world to practice and get rid of my murderous aura, not to enjoy and play in this world.
After thinking about it, if he wanted to become a mortal, the Tongtian River would be the most suitable place for him.
After thinking about it, I finally understood the reason.
He raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you brother for waking up the person in my dream with your words. From now on, Erba and Cuihua, we will be a family."
Cuihua listened and said with a smile: "Erwa and I have always been monks, you are a family."
