The sky is about to break, and although countless stars can still be seen on the sky, the bright moon has already sunk in the west, plunging into the endless sea, rendering the seemingly endless ripples on the sea into a silvery white appearance.

And in this endless silver ocean, there are thousands, as large as the south, north, east, and west, thousands of miles away;

The island, which is so small that it can only allow a few seabirds to barely settle down, crawls like a monster, adding a bit of sense to the already cold sea.

At this moment, on a large island not far from the mainland, a few melodious bells suddenly sounded faintly, adding a little vitality to this deserted ocean.

After the bell rang, the length and width were hundreds of miles away, surrounded by mountains on the edge, and although there were hills in the middle, most of them were plains and fertile soil, on a large island near the sea, among the green trees and gray stones, suddenly out of thin air came a group of small novices dressed in coarse cloth clothes.

With this vision, and then with the help of the rising sun, I looked carefully, and found that the hill was actually a ghostly carving, huge and matchless, obliquely draped in robes, bare-chested and breast-bared Buddha seated statue.

And those little novices came out of the navel of the Buddha statue hidden in the vines and weeds, or carried a wooden barrel, or carried an axe, along the steep hem of the Buddha statue that could be used as a staircase, and jumped down to the black-brown earth.

Among them, the little novice who landed first looked taller and stronger than his companions, with a fat head and big ears, a thoughtful appearance, and a kind of tiger anger that is never seen in ordinary children between his eyebrows.

After landing on the ground, he put down his hanging heart, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and stood majestically on the ground with the long-handled axe on his shoulder, his hands on his waist, waiting with a solemn face.

When all the novices stood still in the woodland in front of them, and looked at themselves with blank eyes, the tall novice coughed lightly, put his hands together and said, "Maitreya from the east."

Fellow disciples, today is still the same as yesterday, continue to teach the Fa in the top ten columns, and continue to teach the Fa for the sake of the backwards..."

Before he finished speaking, a fat, fat, thin-skinned and tender-fleshed man suddenly shouted dissatisfiedly in the group of small novices opposite, "Teach the Fa, teach the Fa, you people with multiple names of the word 'interpretation', talk about the Fa all day long."

The hard work and tiring work of fetching water and chopping wood are all let us do, everyone is raised by their parents, what is the basis! ”

"This junior brother seems to think that I am acting unfairly." Seeing that someone was openly disobedient to his will, the tall and strong novice stared at him, and his pupils looked in the direction from which the voice came from as if a glimmer of light came out, and at the same time said coldly in his mouth.

Met his gaze, and the little novice who was originally dissatisfied was like a frog stared at by a poisonous snake, his body froze completely, and his face turned pale.

When the companion who was close to the little novice on the side saw this scene, someone pleaded: "Senior Brother Shiyi, Senior Brother Shiyi, ninety-seven has only been in the temple for ten days, and he has not yet worn away the wildness of the world.

You are born with the 'Mandate of Heaven', and even the masters say that it is the reincarnation of my great virtue of Buddhahood, and the future will inevitably be the pillar of the Demon Suppression and Guardian Sect, the pillar of the Glorious Mountain Gate, and the natural strength is extraordinary, so let the adults spare him a lot. ”

Hearing this compliment, Na Shi Yi was like drinking a bowl of ice fruit in one breath under the summer noon sun, his frowning brows unconsciously stretched, and he nodded and said, "This is reasonable."

Then I won't be too concerned with the ninety-seventh junior brother this time, but,", he paused slightly when he said this, "The rules of the mountain gate still have to be talked about."

If you don't accept the discipline of your senior brother and speak falsely, you always have to give a slight punishment, and you will be punished," said Shi Yi's eyes swept through the crowd, and fixed on a thin, short figure, "I will be punished for ninety-seven and help thirty-three handfuls of chores in the next ten days."

Hey, it's a pity to talk about thirty-three, when I came, I was already the oldest among the novices, but because of the lack of martial arts and law practice, I couldn't do the roar of demon subjugation when I encountered the enemy, and I couldn't shave my degree.

Ninety-seven, if you help him to have more time to practice now, it is equivalent to laying good causes, which is not a good thing. ”

The ninety-seven is easy to get angry and angry, but the character is fierce and inward-looking, after a wave of anger is released, he was shocked by the power revealed by Shi Yi, and he didn't even dare to regenerate the idea of revenge, but lowered his head, squinted his eyes and looked at Thirty-three with hatred, as if he was humiliated by it, and spit out one with hatred in his mouth, "Yes." Word.

Not far away, I got a cheap thirty-three for no reason, and at this time he was quite surprised, and he saluted with his hands together: "Maitreya from the east, thank you for the body of Senior Brother Shiyi." ”

Hearing this, Shi Yiwang saw that Chao Thirty-three smiled slightly in response, and then waved his hand and said: "Okay, everyone disperses, chant and preach the Fa, and those who should work quickly go to work, remember to get together again at noon, but you have to work and give food, don't be lazy." ”

When his command landed, the novices shouted impatiently, "Yes, senior brother." Hurriedly dispersed, and after a while, there were only more than ten figures left in the crowd who looked at each other and smiled, and gathered around Shi Yi.

The so-called 'teachings' are just a tactful way of exchanging their experiences with each other's spiritual practices.

Although everyone will have reservations, the stone of his mountain can attack jade, and the benefits of doing so are still great, and it can be said that it is one of the important means for them to maintain their position in the forefront, and ordinary novices will never participate in it.

Therefore, although Thirty-Three was also idle, he did not gather around Shi Yi, but quietly walked away, pacing to a clear stream behind the Buddhist temple.

Sitting cross-legged on a gravel floor, he stretched out his hand and touched the cold flowing water, turned his head to look at a low hillside at the end of the water flow in the distance, which was only a dozen zhang above the ground, and then turned his head to look at the living water that seeped out hundreds of meters away and from the ground, turning into a river.

Who would have thought that the source of a large river would be a small waterhole no more than ten paces in circumference.

Speaking of these nine words, "how to accumulate silicon steps to thousands of miles", it really contains a deep truth, and it can be regarded as the first sentence I have experienced in the dream world in the past few days..."

As he pondered, the Dharma seal in his hand kept changing, and the distracting thoughts that flashed in his heart gradually disappeared, and soon only mountains, flowing water, secluded forests, and the rising sun were left in his five senses.

This is exactly the simplest, most neutral, and most peaceful, and not easy to make mistakes in the shallow meditation method of Buddhism, "Wipe the Lotus Table".

After wiping away the dust in his heart, Thirty-Three calmly took out a dark yellow light bowl from the placket of his clothes and began to rub it.

This bowl looks simple and unpretentious, as if it is made of jade, but it does not have the moist and gorgeous color that precious jade should have, and there is no carved pattern inside and outside, as if it is a large stone saucer that has been naturally weathered by the shape of time.

But the strange thing is that when Thirty-three's eyes came into contact with the stone bowl, he felt a sudden pain in his eyebrows, and saw a dragon with pitch-black scales all over his body, horns like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, ears like a cow, a hundred feet long, a mane flowing, a hideous expression, and a fierce dragon suddenly flew out of the water, swayed upward, and went straight to the sky;

At the same time, he saw a giant elephant with thick snow-white fur, fangs like a crescent moon in the sky, and thick limbs standing up to the sky, running towards him from the mountains and fields in the distance.

If ordinary people saw this scene, they would probably have fainted in fright, but Thirty-three let the dragon and elephant hover and run around with his usual complexion, and used all his strength to visualize his posture and demeanor, and engraved it into his soul.

Without the secret know-how and method to cooperate with cultivation, it would have been impossible to visualize any effect with the naked eye alone.

But the strange thing is that in just one stick of incense, Thirty-three was already like overcultivation, the blood and qi on his cheeks were rolling, and he was breathing heavily and retreated from the meditation realm.

The black dragon and white elephant in front of him disappeared in an instant, Thirty-three sweated profusely, put the bowl back into his arms with trembling arms, let out a long sigh of relief, leaned over, and was about to pick up a handful of stream water to wash off the sweat stains on his face, when he suddenly heard someone behind him ask leisurely: "Senior brother, what kind of magical power do you cultivate, how could you let the 'Lotus Terrace' be dusted so quickly?" ”
