After getting rid of the inner demons, the green dragon saw the Buddha in front of him.
So she calmed down and stopped struggling pointlessly. She knew that even if she turned into a dragon, she would not be able to fight the young man in front of her.
Crow thought for a moment, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Don't fight? Do you want to kill this guy? I haven't eaten roasted dragon meat yet."
Qingjiao was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect this little crow to be so bold.
A snoring sound came from not far away, and on an eternal tree, Xiaodieer was dreaming about her parents, who were pestering them to buy candied haws.
Li Xiuyuan's consciousness silently stared at Xiao Die'er lying on the top of the tree, and sighed softly.
He waved his hand and said, "You can go..."
When the crow heard this, he had no choice but to say, "Okay, Mr. crow is in a good mood today, you can go."
Qingjiao had no intention of leaving, but frowned and asked, "Since you are practicing Buddhism, sir, can you help me get rid of my inner demons?"
"I can't do it. This problem has been bothering me."
Li Xiuyuan wanted to stretch out his hand to smooth the sad look between Xiaodie'er's eyebrows, but found it difficult because his hand couldn't reach it and the tree was too high.
I could only sigh: "You can't capture the inner demon, just like I can't guess the will of God. Why don't you read the Buddhist scriptures on this stone wall first, even if you memorize them by rote."
After speaking, he stroked the crow's feathers, frowned and said, "The inner demon in your eyes is far less terrifying than the crow's demon. I haven't even gotten rid of his demon, so how can I help you?"
Crow suddenly remembered his situation under the magic mountain and fell silent.
The green dragon sighed faintly and asked: "Is it possible that after I transform into a human being, I will still have inner demons? If so, what do I want a Buddha to do in this world?"
It was just an unintentional remark, but it left Li Xiuyuan speechless.
He looked at her and said, "Even if you become a Buddha, you may become a demon because of a single thought. A crow once became a demon. The little guy sleeping on the tree is my goddaughter..."
"Both of them were possessed by demons. Until now, I haven't found a way to help Xiaodie'er remove the demon blood from her body... If you are afraid, why bother thinking about turning into a human?"
"Even if you become a human being, you must know that there are still eight hardships and eight difficulties in human life. So, you really have to think clearly, do you want to give up this idea?"
After he finished speaking, he pointed at the crow and said, "Look at this guy who could have transformed a long time ago, but he said he hasn't had enough fun yet and has been putting it off until now."
"Eight sufferings, life is also suffering? So what kind of sufferings are they?" Qingjiao frowned slightly.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "The eight sufferings are: the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of illness, the suffering of death, the suffering of resentment and hate, the suffering of separation from love, the suffering of not being able to seek what you want, and the suffering of the five yin beings."
"I have practiced Buddhism since I was a child and have experienced many sufferings in the world, but I still have no relief before my eyes... In order to remove the demons in Crow and Xiao Die'er's hearts, I asked her to recite Buddhist scriptures every day..."
"Although I don't know whether they will be able to remove the demonic energy from their bodies at the last moment, this is the only way I can think of. Since they have entered the demonic path, the only way is to practice Buddhism."
Crow nodded and said, "Li Xiuyuan is my teacher in practicing Buddhism. I still don't understand the meaning of those transformed sutras, but I have to read and recite them for an hour every day."
Qingjiao sighed and said quietly: "The only thing I want to do when I live is to leave this world. No matter how painful it is, I will transform."
Li Xiuyuan replied: "This is also your obsession. Having obsession is a good thing, but it is also a troublesome thing. For this reason, you must practice Buddhism seriously and seek the method of liberation from Buddhism, for your present and for your future."
But at this time, Qingjiao remembered that he had been practicing hard for countless years overnight, and suddenly he could speak human words, but he couldn't find anyone to talk to.
Later, I finally found a fox that could speak human language. Unexpectedly, that guy didn't know whether to live or die, so he actually dived into the impermanent path, and finally turned into a pile of ashes...
Thinking of this, she strengthened her decision. No matter how hard it was, she would still transfer the Buddhist scriptures on the stone wall.
Memorize it and then practice hard for ten years, even fifty years.
I also need to change my form, and I also need to walk out of a forest.
He sighed, looked at Li Xiuyuan and replied, "I must get out of here, no matter how long it takes."
Crow nodded, agreeing with Qingjiao's statement.
Looking at her, she laughed and said, "Only when you leave here will you realize that there is a bigger world outside... Also, before you leave, pick up some more elixirs and take them with you..."
Li Xiuyuan stopped the nagging crow. After a hard day's work of reciting Buddhist scriptures, he still had to travel tomorrow, so he planned to rest.
He waved his hand and said to Qingjiao: "While the Buddhist scriptures are still in your mind, continue... We will leave early tomorrow morning."
Qingjiao nodded and said softly: "Thank you sir for speaking Dharma to me today. I will be able to repay your kindness one day when I can transform into another form and leave this mountain."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "After tonight, just forget about us."
Qingjiao was startled when he heard this and asked, "Why?"
Li Xiuyuan replied quietly: "Teaching the Dharma to others is a blessing greater than that of others. I am also happy to see him today."
Qingjiao was stunned and speechless for a moment. He watched the young man gradually disappear into the big tree behind him. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the gentle fragrance of flowers is blowing in the wind.
Although he didn't know where the flowers were, the faint fragrance put Li Xiuyuan in a good mood when he decided to leave.
After a good sleep, Ximen Xiaodie's energy improved a lot.
He was startled when he saw the green dragon snoring under the stone wall not far away. He took Li Xiuyuan's hand and asked, "Master, wasn't this guy a green snake yesterday?"
Li Xiuyuan chuckled: "This mountain forest is full of spiritual energy, so she turned into a dragon overnight, which is a beautiful thing."
Xiao Ling'er nodded, sighed and said: "Unfortunately, Xiao Ling'er seems to be unable to remember..."
The crow shouted impatiently: "It's getting late, it's time to set off."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the sleeping green dragon and sighed. After thinking about it, he took out a handkerchief, wrapped two slices of preserved apricot meat from Luoxia Mountain and placed it on the stone platform.
He waved his hand, took Ximen Mengdie's little hand, and headed down the mountain.
Within half an hour, I arrived at the outside of the path that Crow talked about, looking at this stone path that was no wider than one person, and even a fat man would have to walk sideways to pass by.
Li Xiuyuan sighed softly: "The world says it is impermanent. Originally, the stone paths here are also impermanent, but we don't know if what lies ahead of us is freedom? Or is it impermanent?"
In fact, even the Qingjiao changed her color for the ten-mile stone path in front of her, because she had seen countless companions who wanted to walk through it and go to the outside world, but fell halfway and turned into lonely souls.
However, Qingjiao did not expect that the crow in front of him was a different kind.
There was obviously no crow in its form, but it was able to fly back and forth from here safely... In Li Xiuyuan's opinion, this could only explain the reason why this guy practiced Buddhism with him.
Otherwise, even the crows will not be able to cross this sacred mountain that even birds cannot cross.
Unless, he is willing to spend some effort to let the crow transform here in advance.
Standing quietly under the stone wall, looking at the two words "impermanence" on it like knives, Li Xiuyuan did not overestimate his ability to change everything here.
Since Qingjiao said this was a sacred mountain, he was just a passerby, so he naturally had to be in awe.
Ximen Mengdie looked at the winding path in front of him and couldn't help but look at the crow and asked: "Junior brother, have you flown out to see it? How long is this road?"
The crow replied: "It seems to be ten miles away, but the road is very narrow, made of stone slabs, and there is not a single ghost."
Under the stone wall, the sleeping green dragon woke up quietly.
When he opened his eyes, Li Xiuyuan and Crow were no longer in front of him, and even the little butterfly on the tree was gone.
He sighed softly and came to the stone where Li Xiuyuan sat, but he was stunned when he looked at the handkerchief in front of him.
Opening it gently, there are two pieces of fragrant apricots.
He sighed, but was reluctant to swallow it. Instead, he quietly wrapped it up again and turned his head to look down the mountain.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan and Xiaodie'er standing in front of the stone wall, I thought in my heart that I might not be able to endure ten years of hard training.
After all, it is much more difficult to transform from a green snake into a dragon than to transform into a human form.
However, he just drank a cup of spiritual tea from the young man and listened to Buddhist scriptures for a day, and he transformed from a green snake into a dragon in this forest in one day.
After this, what monster would dare to bully her?
Thinking of what Li Xiuyuan said, I couldn't help but murmur softly: "Even if I have to taste all the eight sufferings, I will transform into a human being."
In front of the stone path, Li Xiuyuan sighed and replied softly: "Becoming a human is the beginning of your cultivation."
Leaving this mountain forest behind, Li Xiuyuan decided not to be affected by the green dragon anymore.
He said to Crow: "You open the way in front, I will hold your senior sister behind, let's go."
The crow screamed happily, flapped its wings and flew into the stone path. Ximen Mengdie took Xiao Li Xiuyuan's hand and smiled: "Master, walk slowly, there are still ten miles ahead."
Just above the mountain stream, under the silent gaze of Qingjiao, Li Xiuyuan took Xiao Mengdie's little hand, and the news was in her eyes. Read the book
Qingjiao couldn't help being silent, and for some reason, a faint sadness surged in her heart. She thought about this farewell, and wondered if there would be a day when we would meet again.
After all, she has never left this world since she was born.
Over the past thousands of years, countless companions have died in this mountain forest. She has never regarded this place as the treasured land of Lingshan. In her heart, it is the mountain forest of death.
Standing on the mountain stream, a wisp of mountain wind blew in, bringing a bit of coolness... She couldn't help but look back at the stone wall not far away.
Looking at the magical scriptures above, I thought that I should quickly write down all these scriptures before I could transform and leave this ghost place.
Walking on the shady stone path, Li Xiuyuan walked at an unhurried pace. The sky was bright and sunny, but no sunlight was falling.
It can be seen that this uncanny workmanship has carved a small stone path in the sacred mountain. I am afraid that only the passing gods or the heaven of this world can have such power.
The bluestone slab under my feet had been paved for countless years, and it had become extremely smooth due to wind and rain, as if it were completely natural with the stone walls on both sides.
It only takes a few more glances to realize that this long stone path is integrated with this sacred mountain.
"If we don't have a long road ahead of us, I would like to practice here for a few years before leaving."
As they walked, Li Xiuyuan said with emotion: "You two guys like to play. No matter what Mengdie said, you are also a wild little princess, but you are just like a child."
Ximen Mengdie was stunned, thinking about the things in his past, and couldn't help but laugh.
Holding Li Xiuyuan's hand, he followed behind and replied with a smile: "Die'er doesn't think that she has already set foot on the road to heaven. She has to find a way to find her mother and father."
"Well..."
Li Xiuyuan thought about what Qingjiao said before and couldn't help but whisper;
"Die'er, our path may be different from your parents' path. It's possible that we won't see them all the way..."
"Senior sister, didn't you listen to what the green dragon said? Apart from us, no one has come to this forest yet."
Crow's voice was a little low. Logically speaking, he also wanted to meet the group of guys from Shura Tianyu. It would be fun to have so many people.
Ximen Mengdie exclaimed "Ah...".
He blurted out and asked: "Master, what should Die'er do if she can't see her mother and father?"
