Chapter 025: Plump and Skinny

"Drain!"

It rained in the sky, and the raindrops fell, thin, dense, as if they were yarns spun from silver threads, and they fell to the ground, occasionally splashing two splashes, but then they fell quietly, and there were waves of sparkling ripples, one after another, and wonderful.

Baicao Garden, located on the bamboo collapse in the house under the loquat tree, a stone in a blue and delicate dress leaned sideways against the window, his chin rested on the windowsill, and most of his head stretched out, he quietly listened to the sound of rain outside the house, not moving, like a "stone".

Suddenly, a few wisps of fresh wind blew, even naughty, blowing countless raindrops in the air to cross the arc. A little rain was even more out of curiosity, with the help of the naughty wind, swaying and striking, hitting the stone in the face.

He sensed the chill, but he didn't dodge, just stroked his face with his hand, erasing the traces of the rain, but his chin was always on the windowsill without moving half a minute.

When rain fell again, he wiped it dry with his sleeve.

So repeatedly, the rain is not tired, and the wind is very cooperative, but the stone just repeats a movement of wiping water.

"Stone, why are you in a daze again? Hurry back. A gentle shout rang out in the garden, followed by a rush of footsteps.

"Little Senior Sister." The stone knew who was coming, and hung his head like a child who had done something wrong.

"Look at you, your hair is drenched." Bai Xue said softly reproached.

The stone was silent, and his head was lowered.

"Wait, I'll go get you a dry towel." Bai Xue said, turned around and went out.

"Okay." Stone nodded and smiled slightly.

I remember that night in the back mountain of Xiangyun Village, of course, it was a year ago.

After witnessing a series of visions of heaven and earth and the terrifying fierce battle that night, Shishi's forehead was inexplicably burning and painful.

Then he fell to the ground and rolled in pain, and was buried by the rocks that rolled down from the mountain, and fell into a coma and died.

Later, it was three months later when the stone woke up.

It was only after waking up that Shi learned that after the change that night, he was saved by the people of Taiqingmen, and it was no one else who saved him, it was the first west wind road man of Baicao Peak that he had heard of but had never seen.

At that time, after the stone that was hanging by a thread was saved, he was immediately brought back to Baicao Peak by the people of the West Wind Dao for treatment, and half of the bones in his body were broken, and the situation was really dangerous.

But fortunately, the people of Xifeng Dao are famous for their medical skills, and he personally treated them, and finally pulled the stone back from the ghost gate, and then lasted three months, and the stone finally gradually recovered.

However, the only regret is that the stone has become blind for some reason, and he has not been able to see anything since.

Oh, and it's also a little strange that Shi woke up and forgot how he was injured, and he forgot about the shocking fierce battle, and his memory only stayed at the moment when he ran to the back mountain of Xiangyun Village, and then it was blank until he woke up three months later.

"Come on, come over and I'll help you wipe the rain off your hair." Bai Xue had already brought a clean and snow-white towel and walked into the house, and sat gently on the edge of the bamboo collapse.

"Little Senior Sister, I'll do it myself." Stone said.

"You can't see ......" Bai Xue's voice suddenly stopped, showing a trace of chagrin and embarrassment.

"I'll help you, with your careless temperament, you must have wiped it a few times, and you said okay without wiping it dry."

"Hehe, that little senior sister has to help me dry every hair, anyway, it's raining so hard today, I definitely can't go to the valley to practice, so I have plenty of time!" The stone laughed and subtly livened up the atmosphere.

"No! I'll just rub it a few more times. Bai Xuewan smiled, although he said so, the movements in his hands were extremely gentle and serious.

"Little Senior Sister, count the time, Master and Senior Brothers should also come back!" Stone said lightly.

"It should be these days, but I can't say for sure, there have been nights and half a month in the past." Bai Xue changed her position and continued to carefully wipe the water droplets from her hair for the stone.

It is said that after the stone woke up, he did not go back to the food delivery room of the secular courtyard, but worshiped under the seat of the first West Wind Daoist in Baicao Peak, and stayed directly in Baicao Garden as a junior brother.

This opportunity of the stone is really envious of countless others, especially Zhang Pang and Qian Duoduo are the most envious and jealous, but others are helpless about it, and in the end this is attributed to Bai Xue's help.

However, of course, the reason for this is not that she relies on women to ascend as rumored by the outside world, but because the wooden sword of the stone, or more precisely the hilt on the wooden sword, turns out to be the thing of the people of the West Wind Dao.

As for why the things of the people of the West Wind Dao fell into the hands of Mother Stone, and why he would take Stone as an apprentice because of an ordinary piece of wood.

The stone asked, but the people of the West Wind Dao did not answer, but only took back the wooden hilt of the sword, and told the matter not to be passed on.

In this way, although Shi Shi was puzzled, he was also happy, and he kept silent about it to the outside world, even in front of Cheng Caihong, he was silent, as for the rumors from the outside world, he was even too lazy to respond, and even sometimes hoped that it was true!

"Hey, what are you doing?" Bai Xuejiao said angrily.

"Oh, nothing, just thinking of something." The stone was startled and said lightly.

Bai Xue stopped what she was doing, tilted her head and groaned.

"I heard the news in the morning that Mu Wan'er had broken through the first eight layers of the 'Enlightenment Sutra'." Bai Xue said softly.

"What? So fast? Stone exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, it only took one year to get you four years, and you still don't want to make progress? It is estimated that in another year, you will not even be worthy of lifting a sword to others. Bai Xue said solemnly, throwing a handful of the towel in his hand on the face of the stone.

"Oops, hey!" Stone Headache snorted.

"Ahh I didn't mean to ......"

Bai Xue exclaimed, looking panicked, but when she saw the stone with a smile on his face, she knew that she had been tricked, so she stomped her foot in anger, turned around and ran out of the house.

The stone laughed even more, but laughed and lost his voice.

The Mu Wan'er in Bai Xue's mouth was none other than the woman in white who was saved by the old man with white eyebrows from the hands of the man in the black qi that day.

It was also after the stone woke up that he learned that after that night, when the disciples of Taiqingmen rushed to Xiangyun Village to investigate, they found that more than 100 villagers had all died tragically in a cave, buried to death by the collapsed mountain.

And the stone and the woman in white, Mu Wan'er, became the only two survivors who were found in that accident.

The stone was rescued by the first West Wind Dao person of Baicao Peak, and Mu Wan'er was met by the first seat of Danxia Peak, and then worshiped Danxia Peak.

In a year's time, the grief in Shi's heart for the collective death of the villagers of Xiangyun Village finally faded away, but the only thing he missed day and night was Mu Wan'er, who cultivated the true Dao in Danxia Peak and was his childhood sweetheart.

However, Danxia Peak, who is all female cultivators, has a strange rule, and no men are allowed to enter, which makes the stone after repeated requests to enter to no avail and has been beaten several times, so he has to give up for the time being.

And there is one thing that Shi Shi has never understood, why didn't Mu Wan'er take the initiative to find him?

"If your cultivation stagnates any longer, then ask the master to expel you from the master's sect, so as not to insult the reputation of Baicao Peak." Bai Xue's voice suddenly sounded.

"I'm already cultivating, this kind of thing, I can't rush it!" Stone replied loudly, shaking his head vigorously and tossing the clutter of thought out of his mind.

He took a deep breath, calmed down, then sat up straight, closed his eyes and meditated, and began to cultivate.

"Why is this always the case?" About half a pillar of incense, Shi Shi's heart suddenly moved, and he said in a lost voice.

To say that as early as a year ago, the stone had already completed the first eight layers of the "Enlightenment Sutra", but this year, he was still in the original realm.

"Enlightenment? The Tripitaka Sutra? The stone muttered to himself.

On the night of the tragic change in Xiangyun Village, the old man with white eyebrows taught him the supreme classic of Buddhism "Tripitaka Sutra", which clearly wrote at the beginning that when cultivating the truth and refining qi, it is necessary to cut off all the connections between oneself and the outside world, and realize one's own nature, no one's face, no self's face, no sentient beings' face, and no longevity's face, that is, the so-called: Buddha is the heart of the heart is the Buddha, the heart of the Buddha has always wanted things, if you know that there is nothing and no heart, it is the true heart of the Dharma Buddha.

Such a difficult and dry truth, how could Shi Shi understand it clearly at that time, but later, after a little study, he realized the fundamental difference between the two practice methods of the "Tripitaka Sutra" and the "Enlightenment Sutra".

The Taoist "Enlightenment Sutra" refining qi requires opening the aperture of the whole body and leading the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body to run along the meridians, so as to exercise and stabilize the body's vitality and internal meridians.

However, the "Tripitaka Sutra" of Buddhism requires practitioners to enter the realm of silence and annihilation, to close off the whole body to act on their minds, to take their own bodies as one world, to see their own nature, to deepen their true essence, and to consolidate their roots.

In the cultivation time of most of the year after awakening, whenever he opened the aperture of the whole body according to the description of the "Enlightenment Sutra" and guided the aura into the body, the next "Tripitaka Sutra" had to forcibly close all the aperture and enter the realm of silence, so that the previous efforts were almost exhausted.

And in addition, a red bead like a "vampire" sucked away every trace of progress made by the stone, causing his cultivation to stagnate and his penance to no avail.

Which is right? And how to do it in order to double cultivate Buddhism and Taoism? ”

The stone jumped off the bamboo, and walked back and forth in the house, only to feel that my mind was in chaos, and my mood was like the weather outside, with a storm and rain, and swaying non-stop.

"It doesn't matter, just insist on practicing the two things together, anyway, the two 'cheap masters' never said that they can't practice two methods at the same time. Furthermore, as the old saying goes: more skills are not pressing. It's always good for me to learn more skills! What's more, if I practice, wouldn't I become the first person in ancient and modern times, haha! Stone said this to himself in his heart, and couldn't help but laugh.

Now that he has made a decision, he no longer thinks about it, so the stone heart is relaxed for a while, and he sits on the bamboo collapse again, meditates and meditates, and first cultivates the "Enlightenment Sutra".

It's just that the idea is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.

"Humph! I don't want to learn. The stone snorted and fell asleep.
