When the light of the early morning had not yet squeezed into the crack of the door, Lin Xiu had already been gently dragged up by Senior Brother Yishan and "charged" in front of the old monk.

"Once you repair, have you finished copying the scriptures?" the old monk asked calmly and leisurely as he sat in front of the Buddhist hall.

"Old bald donkey, I think about it, I want to be an ascetic in the red dust, I want to practice, you can teach me?" Lin Xiu sat down next to the old monk.

He knew that the old monk must not be simple, and he might be a master who was hidden and unlearned.

"Oh, why do you want to be an ascetic? Could it be that you just want to escape from here? Do you know what an ascetic is?" said the old monk with a smile.

Since he was almost free to move, Lin Xiu was bent on going down the mountain to find Qingya. But after thinking about it for this time, it was clear to him. In this world, if you don't have the strength, everything is nonsense. Here his freedom does not belong to himself, because the old monk and the elder brother are stronger than him. So what about when he gets outside? Will he be able to look for Qingya with peace of mind? Maybe he was cleaned up by evil bandits, monsters, and beasts not long after he went out.

Lin Xiu sat cross-legged, looked at the Buddha in the temple with deep eyes, and said, "No, I don't have anything to run away from. I wanted to be an ascetic because I was going to find the answer, and the answer wouldn't be in this temple. “

The old monk was a little surprised that these words came out of the mouth of the stubborn little apprentice at this time, and he was even more interested. "Then why do you suddenly cling to cultivation? You can taste the sufferings of the world, you can know the worries of the world, and you don't have to cultivate to cultivate. Besides, if you are ascetic, you are not greedy for wine and meat, you don't love beauty, you don't seek fame and fortune, how can you do this?"

Lin Xiu smiled, "I want to cultivate because I want to have the ability to find answers, not to die in vain." People in the world, in this world, most of the people in the world are cultivators, aren't they?"

"Amitabha, once you cultivate, you have a number of lives, do you know that if you set foot on this road, you will never be able to turn back?" the old monk sighed.

"Master, why bother with fate, my fate is up to me, and besides, I can't escape the fate that should be reached, right?" Lin Xiu lowered his eyelids, "I'm going to Hongchen, to get and let go." Asceticism and asceticism never mean that the wine and meat are beautiful, the so-called wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart. The so-called color is emptiness, and emptiness is color. Asceticism, what is bitter is the way to go, what is going on, what is bitter is not to stay, it is to keep going, isn't it?"

"The road I decided to embark on, no matter how many hardships and dangers, was a swamp of thorns. I decided, and there was no more to retreat, only forward. ”

On the Fa: The thoughts of modern people and the Buddhist sayings of previous lives, I'm afraid of you?

It's just that I must go through this world. Qingya is my only relative, even if there is only one glimmer of hope...... Even if you give everything. I lived a bad life in my last life, and I don't want to live in this life!

The old man was surprised. The old monk was silent and finally sighed.

Summoned Yishan: "Yishan, you take Yixiu to the back mountain." “

"Yes!" Yishan, who was standing on the side, approached and bowed, "Little junior brother, come with me."

The old monk turned his head to Lin Xiu and said: "One cultivation, the world is in a dilemma, although it is difficult to escape the number of fate, but it can always be changed, everything in this world is always conserved, if you want to get something, you will definitely lose something." I'll give you this chance, if you can get something in the back mountain until tomorrow, then I'll teach you to cultivate. “

Lin Xiu walked among the mountains with Senior Brother Yishan, and said tentatively as he walked, "Senior Brother, what's in the back mountain?"

"You'll know when you go. Ilzen smiled gently.

"Then have you been there too? Have you obtained anything? Exercises or something?" Lin Xiu was unwilling to accept this bit of information, and kept harassing Yishan.

Yishan was helpless, "Little junior brother, don't ask, since the master said so, then what you need to get must not be as simple as what I and the second junior brother obtained." As a brother, I can only mention you a little, vanity is not vain, what you see does not exist, you have to feel it with your heart, to investigate it, to touch it. Amitabha, sins and sins, junior brother, don't reveal what your brother told you about these ......"

Lin Xiu meditated silently in his heart and carefully memorized these words.

"Here we are, junior brother. “

I saw Yishan stop, take off the rosary and put it in his palm, and silently recite the Buddha's name, and the golden light emitted from the rosary and shot to several places. Lin Xiu suddenly felt wonderful, the golden light was not like spiritual power, but like the Buddha power that was materialized by spiritual power, among which there were bursts of Buddha sounds, accompanied by the Buddha name of Yishan, and the scene in front of him rippled with golden ripples.

"Little junior brother, let's go in. Ilzen stretched out his right hand.

Lin Xiu followed curiously and walked in.

The scene in front of me suddenly changed, no longer a mountain forest and grass, but an empty valley with solemn cliffs erected at both ends. Lin Xiu stared at it, there seemed to be countless Buddha statues carved on the cliffs on both sides, not deep, not shallow, as if engraved in the cliff, and as if floating in front of the cliff.

Just as Lin Xiu sighed strangely and was about to take a closer look, Yishan said beside him: "Little junior brother, you slowly feel here, tomorrow morning, my brother will come to pick you up." “

"Go on, senior brother, it won't be in the way if you sleep more tomorrow, it doesn't matter if you pick me up or not, but you must sleep well. Lin Xiu waved his hand.

Yishan smiled and shook his head, "Little junior brother, you really seem to have changed these days, you may have a great relationship with the Buddha, the Buddha has awakened your spiritual wisdom, but it may be a little too much, a little slippery." “

Yishan chuckled, and then said seriously: "I didn't have to worry about you before, but now I have to say more for my brother." During this time, junior brother, you should stay in the valley, sit and slowly understand, don't run around! Especially at the end of the valley. “

Saying that, Yishan pointed ahead, "In the past year, Master sensed that there seemed to be some foreign object not far away, and went to check it many times, but he was blocked out of a strange barrier, and he hasn't been found out yet, and I don't know what it is. Alas, but don't say that there is an enchantment on that side, even if there is no one to lead in this back mountain valley, you can't get out, junior brother, too...... It's me who is overthinking. “

As he spoke, Yishan patted his braised egg head, laughed, and then exited the valley.

Lin Xiu was stunned and watched Yishan finish talking to himself, and touched the place where he had withdrawn from the normal place that had become, and he could feel the obstruction.

This world is interesting, Lin Xiu thought with a smile and strode towards the valley.

He first searched the valley carefully for any special objects or scrolls. But the whole valley was nothing but a few small rocks.

So he hit the idea on the strange wall rock, probably ...... What's the mechanism?

But after touching all the places he could touch, he still had no clue.

Lin Xiu was disappointed, and couldn't help but feel irritable, and kept pacing in this valley.

No, no, I can't just give up on myself, Lin Xiu forced himself to calm down.

"Senior brother said to sit in the valley and slowly understand......" Thinking about it, Lin Xiu looked at the middle of the valley and suddenly felt that the land seemed to be slightly concave compared to other places, isn't it...... Where are they sitting?

So Lin Xiu sat down cross-legged in the middle of the valley, looked at everything around him, and thought quietly again: "Could it be that Buddha statues can form scriptures and exercises?"

He frowned, not a single inch of Buddha statue carefully observed and remembered. He always has a good memory, so he always did more with less when he studied before.

He kept looking for the permutations and combinations of these Buddha statues, trying to find a pattern to follow. However, on the stone wall, the Buddha statues are arranged randomly, and their eyes are a little swollen and painful when they stare straight at this point.

From early morning to noon, and then to dusk. Lin Xiu thought through everything, staring at the warm orange dusk and slowly covering the veil from the stone wall on the side, gilding the Buddha statue here. He was already starting to get dizzy, and he had written down the Buddha statues on both sides, whether it was the order, posture, or even expression.

Rushes of impatience began to well-up in his heart again, and it was almost night, and he still didn't have a clue...... What should I do? The old bald donkey said that this is just such an opportunity, and I will go to the red dust of ghosts if the mountains don't let me go down in the future? How can I find Qingya? How can I go to the world? Meow, I'm still a little virgin...... Also TM is a two-life ...... You don't really want to stay in this small temple that no one cares about and spend your life as a dumb monk, right?

The more he thought about it, the more impatient he became, and the more he thought about it, the more broken he became.

The golden light of dusk had already crossed a cliff by this time.

Meditation...... Calm down! Can't give up! It's still early tomorrow, when did I, Lin Xiu, become such an indefinite person?

Lin Xiu felt the warmth of the golden light reflected off the rock wall, and took a deep breath. No, there must be something I'm missing.

"Vanity is not vanity, what is seen is not existing, it must be felt, investigated, and touched. “

"What is falsehood, what is existence, what is to be felt, what is to be explored, what is touched?"

Lin Xiu sat cross-legged in the middle of the valley and stretched out his right hand facing the warm dusk. He closed his eyes and felt it.

A warmth swelled through the palm of the hand rhythmically like the waves. Heavier and heavier, heavier and heavier!

"What is this?" Lin Xiu opened his eyes and suppressed the emotions in his heart, not even daring to breathe too hard, for fear of dispelling the warmth that was constantly climbing and intensifying.

If this is a feeling of warmth that is so-called, then the ...... Is it to investigate those strange Buddha statues? Lin Xiu turned his gaze to the right cliff that was swept by the dusk and gilded with golden light.

The order has not changed, and the posture does not seem to have changed except for the golden light. Expression......

It's an expression! Lin Xiu's eyes lit up.

On the face of the Buddha statue, which was originally plain and emotionless, Lin Xiu seemed to have read a trace of ...... Grin?

On the outline of the Buddha statue that seems to be deep and shallow, some seem to smile with joy, some seem to smile with satisfaction, some laugh with gratitude, there are laughs with excitement, shy smiles, friendly smiles, etc., etc., and the smiles are expanding with the strengthening of warmth! It seems that each Buddha face has a different smile, and it is difficult to count them for a while!

Lin Xiu was stunned, he unconsciously stretched out his left hand and looked at the cliff on the left.

There is a strong contrast with the palm on the right, and a wave of coldness hits, as if it ...... It wasn't as cold as it was, Lin Xiu seemed to feel it...... Sadness or despair?

Be...... Unlike the warmth on the right, this sadness hit his heart.

He was not able to see the Buddha statue on his left, and the cliff on his left was rippling. His consciousness blurred suddenly, and then Lin Xiu came back to his senses.

And at this time, he suddenly found out in horror......

He was still in the sea stared at by the red moon!!

He wanted to speak, his voice hoarse, and the waves brought the echo of the night:

"Elegant ......"
