On Xiaoqing's fifth day on the mountain, Li Ye's illness finally improved, his face was ruddy, and he could also go down to the ground to cook porridge and tea.

In the past five days, Li Ye has been lying on a bamboo chair every day to recuperate, that is, he has read three volumes of "Huafa Sutra" to several people, Xiaoqing has heard Li Ye's "Dizang Sutra", but she has never heard the scriptures that Li Ye has read in the past five days.

After listening to it for five days, she was very happy, for all living beings in the world who practiced, they didn't like to hear the Dharma, only when Mu Mu that guy listened to the scriptures, he always fell asleep.

Looking at the old ape, the old wolf and Xiaoqing, Li Ye smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, when I get well, I will spend two hours every day copying the scriptures, and I will leave a copy for you all when the time comes." ”

"When I leave the Tianshan Mountains, I will engrave and write these two sutras for you, so that later ones can have the opportunity to practice the Dharma. ”

Xiaoqing looked at the sunset sinking in the west and the moon climbing up, and murmured: "When I came, I heard from Mrs. that today seems to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you eat meat and rice at night, and we eat barbecue!"

"I haven't eaten your barbecue for a long time, I will eat a meal tonight, and tomorrow I will go down the mountain to accompany Mu Mu. ”

The old ape and the old ape glanced at each other, for them there was no concept of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but to barbecue meat was their favorite thing.

The old wolf smiled and said, "The little gentleman's body has not fully recovered, so let's eat meat and rice." The two hares caught in the morning happened to be roasted. ”

Xiao Bai, who was lying next to Xiaoqing, roared a few times to agree, he hadn't eaten barbecue for a long time.

Li Ye took out the spices and handed them to Xiaoqing, telling her to marinate the meat first, and then barbecue it when the fire was lit later.

The old ape got up, took a pile of pine wood from outside the shed, and went to the pile of stones to make a fire, and when the pine wood was completely burned, he could roast the hare on the rack.

Xiaoqing put the iron pot on the stove, she had to cook the meat rice for Li Ye first, and then barbecue the meat.

The Mid-Autumn Festival night on the Tianshan Mountain was the same as last year, but Mr., Mu Mu and Li Hongsleeve were not there, and Xiaoqing was by Li Ye's side.

There are also autumn cicadas in the mountains, and the mountains are full of people who don't know which tree to climb on, and they keep singing, as if they want to sing the leaves of this Tianshan Mountain red, and sing the cold of this hanging river.

Xiaoqing took an urn of wine and put it on the table, looked at Li Ye and said, "Last year, you and your husband drank all the fruit wine, this is the most famous burning knife in the city, two seniors try it." ”

Li Ye stood up, walked to the stove and brought down the cooked meat rice, put the marinated hare meat on the rack, and added two pieces of pine wood to the fire, in his words: The meat roasted from pine wood is the most delicious.

Xiaoqing served him a bowl of meat rice and put it on the table.

Li Ye gently turned the hare on the shelf, and the pine charcoal fire was burning brightly.

Roasting the rabbit meat fragrantly, listening to the sound of the oil burning in the fire, Xiaobai did not move around Li Ye's feet, waiting for Li Ye to give him a rabbit leg.

Xiaoqing poured out three cups of the burning knife in the wine urn and put it on the table. Said softly: "The two seniors will have a drink first, and then eat the meat after it is roasted." ”

The old ape sat down on the edge of the table, picked up a glass of wine, and said to the old wolf: "Come, let's also have a Mid-Autumn Festival in the world, and the wine brought by the little girl from the bottom of the mountain is not easy to drink." ”

The old wolf pulled over a stool and sat down, and picked up the wine glass on the table.

Looking at the moon that had climbed into the air, he said: "I can't imagine that we can still drink the beauty of the world in the last Mid-Autumn Festival that we are about to leave here, and it is not in vain that we practice on this Tianshan Mountain." ”

Xiaoqing raised her wine glass and took a sip with her. Said: "Li Ye, I ate the meat and rice first, and it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

Li Ye returned to the table with a roasted rabbit, looked at Xiaobai, who was drooling, tore a hind leg for it, and said with a smile: "You can't have a little bit of talent? ”

Take out the knife, carefully cut the rabbit meat into small pieces, place it in a bamboo plate, and place it on the table.

The old ape drank all the wine in the cup, stretched out his hand to take a piece of roast meat and ate it, looked at Xiaobai, who ran to the side with his meat leg and gnawed on it, laughed happily, and said with a smile: "It's still young, teach it slowly in the future." ”

Li Ye picked up the bowl on the table, picked up the chopsticks, slowly ate the meat rice one bite at a time, and picked some mushrooms to eat. As long as he starts eating, he won't speak easily.

Xiaoqing drank a glass with the two old men and blushed and didn't dare to drink, she estimated that she would get drunk if she drank it again, which was not as good as the fruit wine made by Mr.

She ran to the stove, turning over the rabbit meat that was roasting, and stared at Li Ye with round eyes, thinking how to forget to bring the guqin from the mountain, otherwise she could let this guy play a song and listen to it.

Some of her were slightly drunk, walked to the table, picked a piece of delicate foreleg meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

The old ape and the old wolf drank three glasses, and they also began to shake their heads, feeling a little dizzy.

The old wolf tore a large piece of meat, and then tore half of it and handed it to Xiaobai beside him.

looked at Xiaoqing and said, "Little girl, I don't know if there is a moon in the world you are in, and you can't celebrate a festival like the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Xiaoqing thought about it, turned her head and looked at the old wolf and said, "Naturally, there is a moon, but the Mid-Autumn Festival depends on their respective preferences, and my wife wants to spend it." ”

The old ape nodded, took a sip of wine, and muttered, "If there is a moon, it means that it is still the same starry sky, but the sky is higher here, right?"

Xiaoqing looked at the old ape who was about to get drunk, snatched the wine urn, put it in the tic-tac-toe wooden shelf under the table, and said with a smile: "Seniors can't get drunk, it's very uncomfortable." As for what it's like, I can't say, you'll all be there in a short time anyway. ”

"When you get there, you know. It's just that the competition between cultivators seems to be a little more brutal than here. ”

Looking at Li Ye, who had finished eating and put down the bowl, he thought for a while before saying, "You have been sick for so long, and you haven't been able to practice your sword carefully, will it delay your cultivation?"

Li Ye didn't expect Xiaoqing to ask himself like this, lowered his head, and thought seriously for a long time.

looked at Xiaoqing and said: "When I was practicing with the old monk master in the Big Buddha Temple at the foot of the mountain, he once told me: Sometimes chanting scriptures is more important than practicing, and if the sutras are smooth, the practice of kung fu will naturally be smooth. Meditation and chanting, chopping wood and drinking tea are all methods of cultivation. ”

"The two seniors have already understood these truths, I thought you already understood and didn't tell you, it seems that you still don't know very well. Take advantage of tonight, just time to tell you the story told by the old monk again. ”

A practitioner once asked the old monk, "What did you do before you attained the Tao?"

The old monk said, "Chop wood and carry water for cooking." ”

The walker asked, "What about after attaining enlightenment?"

The old monk said, "Chop wood and carry water for cooking." ”

The practitioner then asked, "What does that mean enlightenment?"

The old monk replied: "Before you get it, you think about carrying water when you chop firewood, and when you carry water, you think about cooking; ”

Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water, and eat tea.

After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water, and eat tea.

The old pig and the old wolf had never heard this story, and Xiao Bai had never heard it, they pricked up their ears and listened to the story told by Li Ye, the two old men looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that cultivation is the truth.

Xiaobai still didn't understand, raised his head and looked at Li Ye, and roared twice, saying that it was too difficult to understand.

Xiaoqing lowered her little head, seriously thinking about the story Li Ye told, and after a while, she opened a pair of big eyes, looked at Li Ye and said, "It turns out that after talking for a long time, you are laughing at me talking while eating, aren't you?"

When Li Ye heard Xiaoqing's words, he also froze, looked at Xiaoqing and said, "I once taught Mu Mu what my husband taught me, and I was speechless and speechless, in fact, it also has the meaning of cultivation." ”

"It's just that later, I thought I couldn't ask you like I asked Mu Mu, so I didn't say it. Li Ye said with a straight face.

This time it was the turn of the two old guys to blush, they were practicing on the Tianshan Mountain, but they didn't know these rules in the world.

At that moment, the shed was quiet, no one dared to speak anymore, and even Xiaobai, who was gnawing on meat, lowered his head.

Li Ye looked at the embarrassed old ape and the old wolf, and said with a smile: "Don't be embarrassed by the two seniors, the old monk master later said that there is no fixed law, as long as you understand the truth of cultivation." ”

"It's like the two seniors who have entered the Tao and are about to enter the Dao, as soon as you say these truths, you will understand these truths, but the environment in which you practice is different, so the requirements for yourself are different. ”

"My practice of Buddhism is stricter, and I naturally have to do more, and the two seniors don't want to be obsessed, and it will be difficult for me in my future practice. Mr. said that sometimes when you practice, what you cultivate is your own mind, and a smooth state of mind is more important than anything else. ”

The two old fellows relieved themselves and sighed.

The old ape looked at Li Ye and said, "Thanks to Mr. Xiao's teaching again tonight, I have benefited a lot." He doesn't understand this guy now, as long as he hears it now, he will understand it better when he grows up. ”

The old wolf looked at Li Ye and said: "The Dharma is really boundless and profound, how can I get the Tao after listening to two volumes of scriptures, and I will have to ask Mr. Xiao more for advice in the future." ”

Li Ye smiled and said, "My old monk master said that manpower is limited in the end, and he will not be able to cultivate the boundless Dharma in his lifetime. He doesn't know how many hundred years old he is now, but he has to get up early every day to go to the temple to recite the scriptures, which is also the meaning of his practice. ”

After saying this, Li Ye felt a little tired, so he stood up, walked to the bamboo chair and lay down.

Looking at the bright moon outside the shed, he said softly: "My husband once told me: If you use your heart to discover the beauty around you, the beauty will find you." ”

"If you try to respect others, you will be respected, and if you try to help others, you will be helped by others. Life is like an echo that sends back what you send. ”

"I heard it before, just like Xiaobai, I didn't understand it, but I just kept it in my heart. Tonight, I will reflect on it, and this is not the truth. ”

Xiao Bai, who was lying on the ground, pricked up his ears, and couldn't help but be a little happier when he heard Li Ye say about himself.

He raised his head to look at the moon in the sky, and roared a few times to express his joy.

"I know you don't understand now, but as long as you listen carefully now, there will be a day when you understand. Li Ye looked at Xiaobai and smiled.

Xiaoqing walked to the fireside, brought the roasted rabbit meat and put it on the table, and looked at Li Ye in a daze.

After thinking for a while, he patted his little head and said with a smile: "I saw that you were sick, and I was anxious, and I forgot to say something." The gentleman has returned to the city, and he asked me to tell you to practice here with peace of mind, and when you want to go back, he will come and pick you up. ”

"Mr. said that because Master Mu Mu was too much of a movement when he crossed the tribulation, it affected him, and he was driven out by the rules of this heaven and earth, and stayed with us for a few days, and he came back after thinking about a lot of methods. ”

Xiaoqing cut a piece of meat, handed it to Xiaobai who was lying on the ground, looked at Li Ye and said.

Li Ye, who was on the bamboo chair, heard the news, and his spirit was much better.

I opened my eyes, which were already slightly closed. "It's good that the gentleman is back, so I don't have to rush back to the city. You can rest assured that you can practice quietly here, wait until you have some eyebrows in the realm and swordsmanship, and then think about going back. ”

"As soon as Mr. comes back, the cultivation of Daddy and Mu Mu will not be a problem, and the happiest person should be the owner of the red-sleeved building, she has seen through her eyes. ”

Li Ye said with a smile: "If it weren't for the illness of this body, I really want to have a drink to celebrate at this time." ”

Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Let you be right, the day Mr. came to the academy when he came back, Sister Redsleeves was crying and laughing, she was even crazier than Mu Mu." ”

Li Ye looked at the two old men in a daze, smiled and said, "My husband is a strange person, he will come here to see me, and I will meet you when the time comes." Ask him for many things that you will go through in the future. ”

"Bai Susu, the master of my family's Mu Mu, is also practicing on the Tianshan Mountain, I don't know if the two seniors have met? ”

The old ape and the old wolf were stunned for a moment, and blurted out at the same time: "Is that the woman flying around and wearing a white dress?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "It seems that you have already met, just right, when my husband comes over one day, you can ask him for advice." ”

The old ape nodded, smiled and said, "It seems that everything is a good fate! I didn't expect an acquaintance with Mr. Xiao to make so many fates." Isn't she still carrying a little girl?"

When Xiaoqing heard this, she smiled and said, "That's my young lady, and Li Ye's sister is called Mu Mu." She has now descended the Tianshan Mountains and studied poetry and books with her master and wife at Li Ye's house. ”

Li Ye closed his eyes and muttered: "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival of the academy will definitely be more lively than last year, and Mr. and the owner of the red-sleeved mansion must go to my house." The little fat man's family will also come, and Mu Mu will also have someone to play with her. ”

The moon on the Tianshan Mountains is still as bright as last year, and it is sprinkled warmly on everyone's body.

The water in the river was murmuring, and there was a gust of wind blowing from the river, blowing away the smell of wine all over the place, leaving only the unique fragrance of the Tianshan Mountains.

Li Ye, who closed his eyes, gently read last year's poem:

When is the bright moon? Ask the sky for wine. I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Dancing to figure out the shadow, how does it seem to be in the world......

Before the words are finished, the person has fallen into a dream.

To dream back to the family and friends he misses, and to dream back to the young lady who is thousands of miles away.

The old ape and the old wolf glanced at each other, got up, each cleaned up the mess in front of them, said goodbye to Xiaoqing, and gently walked out of a wooden shed and went back to their respective caves.

Xiaoqing took the bamboo basket woven by Li Ye, covered the uneaten rabbit meat, carried the iron pot and a basket of bowls, called Xiaobai on the ground, and went with her to the river outside the forest to brush the pots and wash the dishes, wash and dress up.

Li Ye in the dream was muttering softly, tears sliding down the corners of his eyes, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.

There is a saying: But when I see the tears wet, I don't know who I hate.
