After taking a bath, Fa Yuan returned to the small courtyard lightly. The old woman sat on a chair, took a fan to cool off, and the dumb man walked out with a basin of clothes.

The old woman said to Fa Yuan: "Little Master Fa Yuan, Tongcheng is an east-west traffic fortress, since ancient times, merchants have gathered, and it is a famous commercial city in Longteng Country. You're coming from the south, what are you going to do in Tongcheng?"

Fa Yuan Heshi bowed and said: "The eldest lady is born, just call me a little monk, or Fa Yuan." Actually, my destination is not Tongcheng, I am going to go to Shengjing Rotten Temple to meet with Shizun. ”

"Which Zen master is your master?" asked the old woman casually.

"My mentor Daoji has left for Shengjing a year ago. Prepare for the once-in-a-decade Dragon Teng and Tiandu Buddha Fight. ”

"Daoji, Daoji!" The old woman stopped playing the fan and asked in surprise: "Your master is the abbot of Bailan Temple, the great Zen master of the Taoist generation, Daoji?

Although Fa Yuan is over 20 years old, he is already calm and good, and it can be seen that an old woman in this mountain can know the name of the family teacher, and she is also quite excited: "It is the family teacher."

The old woman said: "Look at my memory, hehe, when you enter the door in the afternoon, you report your fate to the law, and you are from Bailan Temple." At that time, I thought you were just an ordinary wandering monk. Fayuan, you and your master are amazing. ”

Fa Yuan said softly: "The eldest lady praised it falsely." ”

The old woman said: "This is not a false praise, you are young, and you have achieved the honor of a Zen master at the age of fifteen. In terms of Buddhist attainments, not to mention the Longteng Kingdom, even if you look at the same age in the world, there is no one who is unsurpassed. Martial arts at the age of sixteen achievements congenital, there are very few people in the world who can beat you, but I didn't expect that the old body also has a time to look away. ”

Fa Yuanqi said: "My aunt is like a treasure about my situation, am I so famous?"

"Daoji's closed disciple is a well-known figure in Longteng Country. Although the old body is in the wilderness, there are always some big and small things in this Dragon Teng Country. ”

"Moreover, I heard that you are the most promising person who can break through the threshold of the unity of heaven and man and set foot in the realm of "gods". The old body lives for a long time, but there are few excellent people like you. Have you crossed the threshold of the unity of man and man?"

Fa Yuan said embarrassedly: "Thank you for the compliment, the little monk is not famous at all." I arrived at the innate realm six years ago, and I have not made any progress, and I am still far from the unity of heaven and man. For stepping into the divine realm, it is a high mountain to look up. ”

"The eldest lady speaks extraordinary, has excellent knowledge, and knows everything in the world, the little monk does not dare, and takes the liberty to ask the eldest lady about her origins. ”

The old woman closed her eyes, opened them after a while, and said faintly: "The old man's surname is Yao, and he comes from a hidden family. It's inconvenient to say more about the specifics, and the little monk will take care of it. ”

Fa Yuan silently recalled the famous family of Longteng Country in his heart, but there was no one surnamed Yao. Among the surrounding vassal states, none of the famous families have the surname Yao. If there is a famous family that is expected to be a big family, why do you need to come to this Gobi land to live in seclusion and build this simple farm yard.

He studied the Dharma intensively, often discussed with others, and his eloquence was naturally excellent. Old Lady Yao has rich experience, is well-informed, and has insightful views on people and things.

The two sat in the center of the courtyard, chatting and chatting, and the more they talked, the more interested they became.

Old Lady Yao is extremely wise, and her knowledge is always unique. She knew that Fa Yuan was a master of Buddhism, and when she talked, she deliberately drew on Buddhism. She is knowledgeable and insightful, and often makes the Fa Yuan refreshing, or her mouth is suddenly opened.

Before you know it, the moon has leaped over the treetops. Fa Yuan's evaluation of the old woman has been raised to a higher level.

There are a lot of mosquitoes in the woods at night, the internal strength of the law is profound, the true qi of the whole body flows naturally, and the body surface is covered with the true qi of the body, and mosquitoes and flies cannot get close. It is also very convenient for the old woman to use a fan to chase away mosquitoes and flies.

After chatting for a while, the old woman got up and said, "Thank you, little monk." It's been a long time since I've been chatting with someone like this. You don't bother the old woman, accompany me to listen to my nagging. The environment here is not bad, if you like it, you can stay here for a few more days, which is also a kind of practice. ”

Fa Yuan felt very cordial to the old woman, got up and said, "The elder is very kind, and he doesn't dare to refuse, then I will disturb you here for two more days." If there's anything you want me to help with, I'll do my best. ”

The old woman waved her hand and said, "Life in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, except for getting some food, is firewood, it is not a big deal, and life is simple." If you are interested, you can help plant a few trees around the forest to leave a memento. ”

Fa Yuan is happy, such a trivial matter as planting a tree, how good is it for him.

The old woman said, "At your age, you are famous for your studies and martial arts, and your achievements in the future are limitless. Your teacher, Zen Master Daoji, has you reached the realm of the unity of heaven and man?"

Fa Yuan sighed lightly and said, "Master has taken me as an apprentice for seventeen years, and all his thoughts have been on me, delaying his cultivation. The family teacher is 90 years old this year, and there are not many opportunities to break the world. ”

The old woman said: "I don't know martial arts, but I've heard that 'heaven and man are not more than a hundred', which means that if you can't enter the unity of heaven and man before you are a hundred years old, you will never have a chance to break through the realm." Master Dao Ji is different, and his Dharma and martial arts are famous all over the world, and he may not be limited by his age of 100. ”

Fa Yuan thanked him: "Auntie, I don't know, when people are over 100 years old, their qi has declined, their essence and blood have declined, and their will has weakened. In the history of the Dragon Teng Kingdom, there is no figure who has achieved the unity of heaven and man after the age of 100. ”

"The fame of the family teacher is famous all over the world, mainly referring to his Buddhist practice. As for martial arts, the family teacher's mind is not on it, so let it be. ”

The old woman knocked on the fan and said, "You people who practice martial arts are fighting against the sky and breaking personal limits. In the history of the Dragon Teng Kingdom, there has never been a person who has achieved the unity of heaven and man after the age of 100. What about looking across the world for 5,000 years?"

"Besides, the Buddhists of Longteng Country pay attention to: Taoism is natural. Compared with the Buddhism of the Tiandu Kingdom, the Buddhism of the Longteng Kingdom is more in line with the meaning of the Heavenly Dao. Tiandu Kingdom has a master of Buddhism, and it stands to reason that Longteng Kingdom should also have it. ”

Fa Yuan asked in surprise: "The eldest lady also knows Buddhism in the Tiandu Kingdom?"

The old woman said: "I don't understand, I just went to the Tiandu Kingdom by chance." It was discovered that Buddhism in the Kingdom of Heaven was very different in terms of doctrine and teachings. ”

Fa Yuan said sincerely: "Tiandu Buddhism has produced a master of the unity of heaven and man, the great Zen master of Zhengde. Although there are two masters of the unity of heaven and man in the Dragon Teng Kingdom, one is in the Tao and the other is in the royal family. ”

"'Wujing Great Zen Master' passed away sixty years ago. Among the many innate realm uncles and brothers, none of them have stepped into the unity of heaven and man, even the family teacher has only stepped into half a foot. I can only be regarded as a spectator from afar. ”

The old woman smiled and said, "Historically, it seems that the advanced Heaven and Man Unity Realm are all after the age of sixty. The curse of 'Sixtieth Celestial', maybe you can break it. You're only in your early twenties now, so you're so presumptuous. ”

"Besides, with your achievements, the realm of the unity of heaven and man shouldn't be your end, right?"

The old woman's words made Fa Yuan arrogant, could it be that he was not as good as an old woman with an enterprising heart?

In the cool night breeze, a wisp of heat came from the earth, stimulated by this hot air, and suddenly from the soles of the feet, a thin stream of heat was generated, straight up to the heavenly court.

In an instant, the true qi of the whole body flowed spontaneously. The true qi in the major acupuncture points erupted uncontrollably. There seems to be a wall above the innate realm, which lies across the mind. It seems that with a little effort, you can break through the wall.
