The gentleman was stunned when he heard this, and blurted out: "Senior, please grant me permission and let me see Xiu Yuan tonight."
The old Taoist priest looked at Ye Zhiqiu and the Master and said quietly: "Whether you look at him or not, it all depends on my disciple's fate. I hope that the way you see him will not affect your Taoist practice."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to push away the starlight and revealed Tianshan, allowing everyone to see the glory of the temple on the cliff flat of Xinghua Valley.
First, Xiaobai exclaimed because he saw the wolves on the other side of the glacier, pricking up their ears to listen to the Buddha's message.
Xiaoqing also screamed, and she recognized the group of apes listening to the scriptures in the snow under the cliff.
Only Xiaobao stretched out his hand and pointed to Li Xiuyuan, who was bathed in golden light and starry sky under the eaves of the temple, and shouted: "Mom, there is an old grandfather there too."
Tang Qiuyu sighed, touched his head and said, "That's your brother, not grandpa."
The husband and wife pursed their lips tightly, not daring to spoil the atmosphere at this time.
Ye Zhiqiu held the old Taoist priest's hand and couldn't help but burst into tears, and murmured: "How could this happen? My poor son, how did he become like this?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head, looked at Mu Mu and Nan Lu Ruyu and asked, "This is his path to mortal transformation. No one can help him, not even the old monk who is currently in the Five Realms."
The teacher sighed softly after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior, has my disciple already begun his journey to mortal transformation?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said quietly: "Yes and no, he has not yet experienced the catastrophe of the five declines of heaven and man, how can he transform into a mortal?"
When the teacher heard this, he asked thoughtfully: "Isn't it the calamity of a saint to be immortal for five people? I am just a disciple who wants to become a mortal."
The old Taoist priest chuckled: "This is a small decline for him. If he survives it, it will be much easier for him to experience the five major declines in the future."
Mu Mu took Nangong Ruyu's hand, bit her lip and said, "Senior, please take me to see my brother in a few days. I will stay with him in his last days."
The old Taoist priest smiled faintly: "He will not be lonely right now. His godson's sister went to Tianshan Mountain and is staying with him."
Li Hongxiu looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was like a god and Buddha in the temple, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior, isn't he Qinglian? Why are the stars so bright tonight?"
Taoist Li pointed to the crescent moon above his head and replied quietly: "It can't be said, it can't be said, it's not yet time."
Li Xiuyuan, who has entered the body with starlight, until he completes the disaster in his life, the old Taoist priest is determined not to let anyone know the secret that his precious disciple is already in the body of the stars.
Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment, then took Mu Mu's hand and said, "Don't worry, wait for the apricot blossoms to bloom. I'll make him some apricot blossom cakes, and then you can bring them to him."
Mu Mu looked at the stars in the sky, the green lotus that turned into starlight, and gently replied: "Brother, wait for me, Mu Mu is going to Tianshan to accompany you."
Xiaobao was dumbfounded when he heard this. He pointed at Li Xiuyuan under the temple and said, "So Xiaobao's brother is an old man?"
That night, with the help of the old Taoist priests, everyone in the Xinghua Valley looked at the Bodhisattva in the Five Realms Tianshan with his eyebrows lowered and his head lowered. Li Xiuyuan, who was chanting sutras with his eyes closed, could not open his eyes to see his relatives in the nine heavens.
Li Xiaoxue didn't expect that her brother had become an old man, so she couldn't help but cry while hugging Ye Zhiqiu.
Only Li Hongxiu shouted unwillingly: "You are crying, that guy is going to become a saint in the future, a monster in heaven and on earth."
The teacher looked at everyone and sighed again and again, and said quietly: "Perhaps all our future cultivation will fall on Xiu Yuan."
Tang Qiuyu nodded and said softly: "I don't know if that girl Hua Luoyu saw the miracle tonight."
The husband thought for a moment and said, "Isn't she with Ouyang Dongli?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said softly: "Right now, both of them are in Nanyun City in southern Xinjiang, helping my disciples to resolve the last cause and effect in the five realms and preparing for the big battle after the spring."
…
Nanyun City.
Hua Luoyu looked in the direction of Tianshan Mountain and was speechless for a long time.
Yelu Mingzhu, who came after hearing the news, took her hand and asked: "Aunt Hua, is this the Tianshan Mountain where my master is?"
Hua Luoyu touched her head and smiled bitterly: "He has a treasure called Qinglian, but tonight Qinglian has the power of starlight. I think it's because of the sudden snowy moon."
While she was talking, the words of the old monk rang out from the Yelu Pearl Sea, and then she covered her mouth and was speechless.
Pointing at the clouds, he said, "Aunt Hua, look over there."
Wang Ruyi, who was awakened by the two of them, pulled Xiaolian out and walked out. The two women followed Yelu Mingzhu's gaze and looked above the clouds.
The starlight gradually dispersed, revealing a corner of the Apricot Blossom Valley on the Tianshan Mountains.
Wang Ruyi exclaimed: "Oh my God, Master, why did the wooden house we live in turn into a stone house?"
Xiaolian murmured: "Is that golden man the godfather of Brother Watson?"
Ouyang Dongli's voice came from behind: "What you saw is correct, that is my disciple who is about to achieve enlightenment on Tianshan Mountain."
Hua Luoyu was stunned, turned to look at Ouyang Dongli and asked: "Husband, now that you have realized the truth, why did my brother become such an old man?"
Ouyang Dongli sighed and said leisurely: "You only see his aging face in your eyes, but you don't know that what my disciple has understood is the way of heaven and earth, and the way of reincarnation."
Yelu Mingzhu said quietly: "After the battle in southern Xinjiang is over, Mingzhu will go to the Tianshan Mountains to accompany the master."
Hua Luoyu was startled when he heard this, and blurted out: "Aren't you going to follow the old monk? How do you think about going to Tianshan Mountain to endure hardship?"
Yelu Mingzhu sighed and said with a wry smile: "The old master monk told me that Brother Watson's sister from another world is accompanying the master on Tianshan Mountain at the moment..."
Hua Luoyu was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Didn't he have a dream? How could he trick his sister into returning to the Five Realms in the dream?"
Yelu Mingzhu shook her head: "That was not tricked by Watson, that is his biological sister..."
Ouyang Dongli looked at Li Xiuyuan who was chanting sutras with his eyes closed, and was speechless for a long time. It wasn't until he talked about Watson that he couldn't help but interrupt: "How many worlds do you see in your eyes?"
Hua Luoyu laughed when she heard this, turned to look at him and yelled: "Are you laughing at me? It seems that the place you go to is not much different from me."
Wang Ruyi tugged on Hua Luoyu's sleeve: "Master, don't be angry. After this battle is over, we will all go to Tianshan to live for a few years."
Hua Luoyu sighed and said: "I didn't expect that we had only left for a long time, and the houses there were all made of stone. Where did my brother get the strength?"
…
Five Domains Dynasty, in the palace.
Yeluyan, who was preparing to take a rest at night, saw the scene in the sky from the window, so she took Hua Tianxia's hand and said, "Sister, do you think this is a move caused by the imperial master?"
That night, Hua Tianxia took her son to the palace to reunite with Yeluyan. Because Nalan Yu was far away in southern Xinjiang, the Queen Mother sent a message to let the mother and son spend the night in the palace.
Hua Tianxia pushed the door open and walked into the garden. He looked up at the sky and said quietly: "From Zaishan, except for my brother, who is still up there?"
Upon hearing this, Yeluyan nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that the Master has really given up on the worldly affairs of the Five Realms and is going to complete his own practice."
Hua Tianxia patted her hand and said softly: "He has spent more than ten years training so many outstanding little guys for you. If you still can't win, it means we are all waste."
Yeluyan sighed, thought for a while and asked: "There will be another war in the spring. Do you want to let the two children go to the battlefield to see it?"
Hua Tianxia frowned slightly after hearing this, and after a while he replied: "I'll take them with me then. You and the emperor will be in charge of the dynasty, and there can be no more chaos in the rear."
Yeluyan thought for a while and asked, "Would you like our children to come and see it too?"
Hua Tianxia shook his head: "The child is too young, what can he do in the past? Stand on the city wall and receive cold arrows?"
Yeluyan laughed bitterly after hearing this: "I can't help you, sister. I'll ask the emperor to get up and see the miracle performed by the imperial master."
…
On the back hill of the town, in the Buddhist hall, a pot of spiritual tea is being brewed.
Minghui looked at the old monk and asked, "Senior, is my junior brother about to turn into a mortal?"
The old monk shook his head and replied calmly: "He, he did this unintentionally, and it means nothing. If he wants to become a mortal, he has to wait a little longer."
Minghui thought about Li Xiuyuan's various experiences since practicing in Prajna Temple, and couldn't help frowning and asked: "Junior brother, I don't know how many hardships he has gone through, why can't he achieve enlightenment?"
Hearing this, the old monk pinched the Buddhist beads in his hand and sighed: "Originally, his practice was very simple, but he didn't listen to the old Taoist priest's words and just picked up some useless fate and carried it on his body."
"Don't look at me. You are just a plank in the boat above his head. No matter how powerful he is, he can't hold up your planks one after another."
"Everyone talks about fighting to cross the river, but he wants to cross you first, and then himself... But, I am a clay Buddha crossing the river, so how can I cross the river like you?"
Having said this, the old monk waved his hand to wipe away the starlight in front of his eyes. The long night remained the same, the stars remained the same, but the divine light from the Tianshan Mountains was missing in front of their eyes.
Hearing this, Minghui lowered his head and thought deeply, unable to speak for a long time.
He naturally understood what the old monk said. Not to mention himself, Wu Xin, who had entered reincarnation and successfully transformed into a mortal, was once a plank on that boat.
Not to mention that he saved Li Xiuyuan's life when he was on his way to Fangcun Mountain.
Perhaps from then on, he became the wooden board that his senior brother held above his head.
"Junior brother is merciful, it would be a pity not to enter Buddhism." After thinking about it, Minghui could only say this.
The old monk laughed when he heard this: "He has a great master. Being a Buddha or a Tao is just a thought for him. It is not necessary to enter Buddhism in order to care about all sentient beings in the world."
"Don't you see that the sky is filled with stars tonight? This miracle cannot benefit the monks in the five realms, but it can benefit all living creatures in the five realms. Tonight will be a great opportunity for countless monsters to hear the word."
The old monk sighed again and again, and said leisurely: "I have never heard of such a profound and wonderful Dharma. ... It is a pity that he was in the Buddhist hall without seeing the Buddha, and once again missed witnessing the miracle he created with his own hands."
Ming Hui was overjoyed when he heard this, and said quietly: "When my junior brother was practicing in Prajna Temple, he already understood what it means to give without giving. Tonight, he is no different."
"What a man who gives charity without any sign of it, but tonight he recited a supreme and wonderful Buddhist sutra for the sake of the world, all things in the five realms, and the thousands of living beings."
Gently turning the beads, the old monk thought for a moment and said, "Spring will be here soon. We have to leave for a few days to find a secluded place to survive your catastrophe."
Minghui was overjoyed when he heard it. He had been practicing for countless years, and saw that he was finally going to break through the limitations of this world and reach the realm that he had longed for.
Even after practicing the formless body, he couldn't help but sigh: "Everything is like a dream, it all depends on the mercy of my junior brother and seniors."
