Li Bai looked around and saw that only the piles of rocks in the stone wall could deal with the two mandrills.
Seeing the two guys getting closer and closer, Li Bai was so frightened that he followed Xiaoguang and rushed towards the pile of rocks under the stone wall, and then stared blankly at the mandrill rushing towards him...
Amidst the whirring sound, a huge mandrill jumped up and reached out to grab Li Bai on the pile of rocks.
Li Bai was startled and thought to himself, I have already hid in this pile of rocks, how dare you come in?
He shouted: "Brother Xiaoguang, chop it...quickly!"
There was a forest of rocks in front of him, and Li Bai didn't dare to jump down, so he could only lie down on a slightly larger stone.
After the stone stopped falling from his body, he could only move forward a little, hoping that he would be the bait so that Brother Xiaoguang could make a fatal sword blow.
Only in this way can he use the iron sword in his hand to fight the mandrill here.
"Don't be afraid that I'm coming!" When Xiaoguang saw the mandrill grabbing Li Bai on the stone wall, he immediately jumped into the air and slashed with his sword, then sheathed his sword and slashed again!
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" The iron sword in his hand rushed towards Li Bai's mandrill, slashing out three swords in a row.
The mandrill, which had already stretched out his arm towards Li Bai, was in pain. He slapped Xiaoguang's body with his hand, sending him flying two feet away!
"Don't hurt my brother Xiaoguang!" Li Bai, who was standing on the stone wall, was surprised and cut out the long sword in his hand!
"Dang, Dang, Dang!" He slashed at the mandrill's back, causing the mandrill to drop Xiao Guang and turn around to deal with Li Bai...
"Click!" A sound...
Xiaoguang flew upside down from the ground and slashed the mandrill's injured neck with his sword, and a black head flew out...
"Ouch..."
The other mandrill didn't stop; his pair had been chopped off
The head's companions didn't care at all. It only saw the two living brothers in front of it.
When Li Bai saw that the mandrill was about to grab one of his feet, he was so frightened that he fell off the stone wall and lay on the mandrill's back.
At this moment the mandrill was stunned.
Li Bai was also stunned at this moment.
The mandrill didn't expect that the young man in front of him was so bold and actually lay on his back.
Li Bai didn't expect to be so unlucky that he fell on the mandrill.
Everything is just a flash of light...
Before the mandrill could react, Xiaoguang came and slashed the mandrill on the neck with his sword. This sword used up all his strength. He wanted to save Li Bai.
After regaining consciousness, Li Bai held the sword with both hands and thrust it into the back of the mandrill's neck...
Unable to stop its pace, the mandrill suddenly threw itself on the stone wall, screaming in pain.
"Crack!" There was a sound, but Li Bai's long sword inserted into the mandrill's neck, and then Xiaoguang's sword cut off the mandrill's huge head and dropped it among the rocks.
After killing the first mandrill, Xiaoguang clearly knew the weakest point in this guy. He could only kill the mandrill with one sword to prevent the mandrill from hurting him.
In a moment, at the critical moment of life and death, the two of them killed two more mandrills.
At this time, Xiaoguang no longer had any strength, so she took Li Bai's hand and ran towards the intersection.
What surprised the two of them was that what appeared in front of them was no longer mist, but a cave...
Without even thinking about it, Xiaoguang took Li Bai's hand and rushed in, then lay on the ground, having no strength left.
…
I don't know how long it took before Xiaoguang regained his breath and looked at the dark cave. At this time
Li Bai fell into a coma due to excessive fright and loss of strength.
If another monster comes to the cave at this time, the two brothers will only die.
Xiaoguang, who was lying on the ground, felt a warm current flowing slowly in his meridians. It seemed that the state that had been sleeping for a long time was about to break through in one day.
A force surged out of the exhausted Dantian through the meridians throughout the body.
Xiaoguang took advantage of Li Bai not waking up, quickly fell to the ground, made a posture with five hearts pointing to the sky, and started to use the mental training method taught by his master.
For a time, the true energy in the meridians was like thousands of streams pouring into the Dantian.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a golden light emerged from Xiaoguang's body, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside the cave poured in instantly.
This golden light not only filled the cave, but even passed through the cave and diffused outside the cave.
Xiao Guang, who fell to the ground, quietly felt the changes in his body, waiting for the coming blow to break through the realm.
He had been waiting for this moment for too long.
As the teacher said, he can only inspire his strength between life and death, and restore his cultivation between life and death.
What he faces is not only the restoration of his realm, but also the qualitative changes in his bones, meridians, and flesh and blood.
After rebuilding her body, Xiaoguang finally had a drastic change from her previous physique.
He felt the true energy in his Dantian was like a squeezed balloon, bursting again... After enduring for several months, he finally returned to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, and was closer to the Golden Core Realm.
It seems that this secret realm is really a treasure. He is confident that before the secret realm disappears, he can restore his cultivation to the state before the injury.
boundary.
Once he returns to his previous state, he no longer needs to be afraid of the danger before him.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Bai, who had fallen asleep on the ground, opened his eyes.
Looking at Xiaoguang, he shouted: "Brother Xiaoguang, my stomach is growling with hunger. Do you have anything to eat?"
…
Inside the bamboo house, Qibao and Li Yueyuan held a cup of spiritual tea and took a sip.
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and asked: "Master Zhiguang in the temple, can't you solve your doubts?"
Qibao sighed and said quietly: "There are some things that are inconvenient to tell Master Zhiguang. After all, he doesn't have much free time..."
When Li Yueyuan saw that her husband was about to talk to the sister in front of her about something serious, she stopped interrupting.
Instead, he yawned and drank all the spiritual tea in the cup.
He looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled: "Sir, Yue Yuan will feel like sleeping after drinking this tea."
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly: "You go to bed first. I will cook the meal and wake you up later."
Li Yueyuan smiled at Qibao: "Sister, I'm going to bed. You can stay for dinner."
Before he finished speaking, he had already left the bamboo layer and headed towards the bamboo house where he and his brother were.
Li Xiuyuan poured some spiritual tea for Qibao and said calmly: "Tell me, I will tell you anything I can answer for you."
He knew that if she hadn't been in trouble, why would the girl in front of him tell her thoughts to a stranger?
Qibao sighed and said softly: "Sir, have you practiced Buddhism?"
Li Xiuyuan replied: "I started reading Buddhist scriptures when I was three years old."
Qibao was greatly shocked when he heard what he said, and then asked: "Sir, can you become a monk and practice in the temple?"
one
In one sentence, Li Xiuyuan was brought back to the distant Tianshan Mountains. When he was a child, he followed his master, the old monk, and waited in line outside the dining hall...
He couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile: "In Buddhism, I have many masters, but the oldest old monk seems to be when I was three years old..."
"Later I went to a temple to practice but did not become a monk. So I practiced in a Prajna Temple in the mountains for nearly ten years and read many volumes of Buddhist scriptures..."
At this point, Li Xiuyuan looked at the spiritual tea in the cup and asked himself: "So, do I practice Buddhism? Have I ever become a monk?"
"In terms of seniority, I am the senior abbot's junior brother, but I have not been ordained in front of the Buddha..."
Qibao was shocked when he heard this, with an incredible look on his face.
After all, she couldn't tell how old Li Xiuyuan was from his body. How could such a mortal have so much Buddhist experience?
Thinking of this, Qibao finally suppressed his curiosity and asked: "Sir, have you ever read Buddhist scriptures well?"
"Of course I have to read it. I was able to recite Buddhist scriptures when I was a child. Later, in order to remember this Buddhist scripture, I carved it on the stone slabs in the mountains, on the bluestones on the ground, and even on the stone walls of the caves."
Li Xiuyuan said seriously: "Sometimes, I even think that the Buddhist scripture has been imprinted on every bone of my body."
Qibao nodded: "My shopkeeper asked me to read the mantra from a Buddhist scripture, forty times a day...I was very excited at the beginning, but now I am getting more and more confused..."
"Forty times? How many words are there in this curse?" Li Xiuyuan was also confused.
"This curse has a total of two thousand six hundred
Twenty words, it took me half an hour to read it through at first because it was too difficult to pronounce. Qibao replied.
Li Xiuyuan was shocked when he heard this. He chanted a hundred thousand sutras every day. I'm afraid the monks in the temple have never done this, right?
He regretted a little. He should have asked Tripitaka how many sutras he recited every day.
Thinking of this, he had to change his explanation.
After thinking about it, he said: "There are two realms in Buddhist practice. One is to wipe it diligently at all times to prevent dust; the other is that there is nothing in the first place, so where is the dust..."
Qibao nodded and replied: "I know this truth."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head: "The monks in the temple wipe the Buddha diligently every day. This is to remind themselves that practice is not easy and they should not fall into greed, anger and ignorance."
"But life in the world is not easy. Men have to earn money to support their families, think about getting ahead, respect their parents, love their wives and children."
"A woman has to take care of her husband and raise her children, she has to practice female sex since childhood, and she faces the pain of being separated from her husband..."
Qibao frowned tightly when she heard this, because she thought of her parents.
Li Xiuyuan continued: "In order to facilitate the world, the Buddha came up with the simplest, catchy six-character mantra. This is also to follow the sentient beings who practice Buddhism in the world."
"You recite hundreds of thousands of sutras every day. Do you want to leave time for yourself to read and meditate? Not to mention that you still need to take care of three meals a day..."
At this point, Qibao was stunned and speechless.
Li Xiuyuan continued: "If you ask me if I recite Buddhist sutras now and how many times a day I recite them, I will tell you not at all..."
"Just for the Buddhist scriptures Sanzang retrieved from Tianzhu, I have not yet carefully read one of them, let alone the time he spent
It took countless efforts to translate those scriptures. "
"Is that so? What about the masters and senior brothers in the temple?" Qibao was even more confused.
"I don't know how they practice, but I can tell you that even the abbot and monk of Yuhua Temple in Chang'an cannot finish reading the Buddhist scriptures brought back by Tripitaka."
Li Xiuyuan said seriously: "There is a type of people who are born for Buddhism and only have Buddhism in their lives, just like Tripitaka; there is also a type of people who feel the compassion of Buddhism and become monks and nuns..."
"What if you can't see through it? Do you want to enter Buddhism and continue practicing?" Qibao asked.
Shaking his head, Li Xiuyuan replied: "Sanzang's junior brother is also my younger brother, the little monk. He was originally an orphan without a name. Later I named him Jin Wuliang. He once accompanied Sanzang all the way to Tianzhu..."
"When Wuliang was a child, he followed his master to practice in the temple, but he had a heart for a better life in the world...Later, Sanzang told me that Wuliang returned to secular life and married a wife in Tianzhu Shewei Kingdom..."
Qibao heard this and murmured to himself: "That gentleman must be very loving."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and replied: "Yes, Wuliang is also my brother. I just hope that he can personally experience life, old age, illness and death, love, hate and separation..."
Qibao heard the words and murmured to himself: "Buddha said: The eight sufferings in the world are birth, old age, illness, death, separation from love, long-term resentment, not being able to ask for something, not being able to let go..."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and responded: "Yes, I told Wuliang that after he has tasted all the eight sufferings in the world, he will think about whether to enter Buddhism again..."
