The elder walked over, saw Li Ji's expression, and had no intention of taking the brocade box over, and said disappointedly: "What's the matter?

Li Ji hurriedly said: "The disciple didn't dare, but it was indescribable for a while; ”

The elder said: "Don't look at this dress, although this brocade box is so dilapidated, very unsightly, it has experienced time, after the endless vicissitudes of erosion, the baptism of the years, it is already extraordinary." Consistency is the only way to keep the scroll safe and intact. So, don't just look at the looks. will only blindly pay attention to the appearance, only care about the external appearance, and do not know how to understand the inside, just like 'the blind man touching the elephant', is your consistent style of life and work, and it is also a taboo in life. In the future, it must not be taken out of context. ”

Li Ji seemed to be awakened by the elders, a little ashamed, blushed, and said slightly: "The disciple just hasn't seen its true face, I don't know how magical it is, whether it is as the master said, I don't know what to do for a while." ”

The elder also ignored Li Ji's change in thinking, and explained: It's normal not to know its magic. Compared with others, this is a rare thing in the mortal world, and there are even fewer people who can have a relationship with it. Those who see this thing are either driven by creation, or cultivated by fate, or the rotation of fate, or the ups and downs, all depend on their own merits. ”

When Li Ji heard this, he was surprised again: "Listening to the words of the ancestor, this thing is a rare spirit in the world, and it has magical power, how can it make the difference between ups and downs?"

The elder sighed and said, "Why not, people are not perfect, there are good and bad human beings, let alone things that are in the mortal world. ”

After listening to this, Li Ji was a little sad and lost, and his heart was also upside down, recalling the words of his ancestors, and he had an epiphany.

The elder continued: "Those who see this thing are the fate of cultivation, and if they can understand its mechanism and open its method, then it will be the blessing of cultivation in the tenth generation. At that time, everything in the world was clear, and I saw the divine power that I just talked to you about. ”

Li Ji said in horror: "In this way, it is not simple. ”

The elder said, "This is not a trivial matter, and it should not be underestimated. ”

Li Ji sweated on his forehead and asked, "What is the secret of it?"

The elder said, "It's better to practice with your heart." ”

Li Jidao: "Can you practice?"

The elder said, "Cultivation is a journey. ”

Li Ji said: "The ancestor is a highly respected holy monk, and his cultivation years are not shallow, so he must see his unfathomable magical power. ”

The elder sighed with emotion: "I'm ashamed to say that I have been studying for many years, but I don't know it, I'm afraid it's not this generation. ”

"How did the master know that he had such divine power, like moving stars and changing buckets, reversing the tide of the world. Why?" asked Li Ji.

The elder said: "This is a legacy from the past, but it is a warning and a true word. ”

Li Ji nodded and said: No wonder, the ancestor said it in such detail. ”

Elder: "You must not be careless, nor should you be obsessed with things by focusing only on things, forgetting your duty, and neglecting your cultivation. Cultivation is the duty of a monk, and only by practicing with the heart can we save the mind, and only by practicing with the heart can we judge things. ”

Listening to the elder's words, Li Jiru was empowered, but his heart became uneasy, and he said: "What the master said is extremely true, the disciple remembers, remembers. Saying this, in fact, I was still a little worried in my heart, worried that I would betray the trust of my ancestor and not be able to realize my ancestor's wishes.

When Li Ji spoke, the elder looked at him and saw that he had some wills that were a little wavering, so he didn't get to the bottom of it, and said bluntly: "Take it." As he spoke, he handed the brocade box to Li Ji.

He also said: "In the future, if you have this thing, no matter when and where, no matter what you do, you must not forget that you are alone, and you need to judge the situation." ”

Li Ji carefully took the brocade box, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and muttered: "The disciple is not talented, how can he be virtuous, and he has this great trust." In the future, I will go to the soup and fire, and I will have no scruples. We will live up to the teacher's grace and respect the virtue of the teacher's teaching. ”

The elder handed over the brocade box to Li Ji, and he was also relieved. Listening to Li Ji's words, he was also full of emotion.

The years are long, time is fleeting, and the face is easy to age, and I don't realize that so many years have passed. Looking at the young disciple in front of him, what came to mind was his young self, just like him, young ambition does not worry, right and wrong, good and evil are in the hearts of people. Practice, contemplation, the pursuit of truth, in the passage of time, live up to the years. I also had to leave a scroll from my predecessors, and I traveled here all day long, although I couldn't do it, it was worth the trip. Today, if you have a disciple who is destined to pass on your disciples, it is also a complete merit, so what more can you ask for.

Thinking so, he said again: "In the future, you must not open it lightly until you have to, and at the critical moment, it may save your life." "It's like a request.

Li Ji spoke a little tremblingly, and said: "Disciple keep in mind, you must be serious, and you will never dare to be selfish and offend." ”

When the elder heard this, he was relieved, turned around, and said, "It's not too early, you can go back." ”

Li Jidao: "That disciple went back first." It has caused the master to rest, and the disciple is ashamed. ”

The elder also said, "You can only know about this matter, not with others, do you understand?"

Li Ji nodded and said, "Disciple remember, don't dare to know with others." ”

The elder said, "Measure, measure!"

Li Ji gently walked out of the chamber, closed the door, and took the brocade box in his arms, and quietly returned to the monk's room.

When they arrived at the monk's room, the lights were dark, and all the monks were asleep. Li Ji didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that there would be movement to wake up his senior brother. I slept quietly in the dark, and I didn't dare to move with a brocade box in my clothes, and I couldn't sleep all night.

Before dawn, Li Ji started to act early. Simply cleaned up, dressed neatly, picked up the backpack and bags, carried the brocade box, or quietly walked out of the monk's room.

While walking, I still can't forget my master. He quietly came to the old monk's residence, wanting to take this opportunity to say goodbye to him, and not forgetting the teachings of his master.

When I came to the old monk's residence, I saw that the door was closed, and the old monk was still asleep. Li Ji didn't dare to shout or knock on the door, pacing back and forth, walking around the door.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, the sun was about to rise, but Li Ji still didn't dare to shout or knock on the door. I didn't feel that the corners of my eyes were moist, so I finally gave up and walked out of the mountain gate.

It was the late autumn season, and the cool autumn morning hit, and a cool breeze blew in gusts, and I couldn't help but shiver.

Walk to the mountain gate, the whirlwind in one place, the other place, the wind and clouds, the fallen leaves are Xiao Xiao, and the yellow fallen leaves are stirred together, it is the left one, the right one, I don't know whether to go or stay. When you go, where do you stay, how many times do you stop?

At this time, a wave of soil and sand, the wind with the cold swept from behind, the wind passed by, the back was cold, the scalp was numb, and a circle of withered yellow fallen leaves was swept out of the mountain gate.

Li Ji didn't pay attention to it, didn't look back, just walked forward.
