The old ape looked at Li Ye's cured meat and cooking soup, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Most of my children in the world, at your age, will not work so hard, and you have to practice on a snowy day, and at the same time, you have to cook and drink and wash by yourself." ”

"I feel okay. Li Ye put down the marinated rabbit meat and looked at him and said: "If this will be at the bottom of the mountain, I definitely don't want to make it myself, I also came to Tianshan with my husband to practice, and then I followed my husband to learn such trivial things as barbecue and cooking." ”

"But my old monk master in the Big Buddha Temple said that making tea, chopping wood, washing clothes, and cooking are all practices, and I regard everything that happens on the Tianshan Mountains as a practice in my life. ”

"Sometimes I get angry, thinking that it is my family Gui who does these trivial things at the bottom of the mountain, just thinking about what the old monk said, and I don't feel tired. ”

"At most, it's the same as I make a hat, if I can't finish it in a day, I can use a month or even longer to complete this practice, and my life is so long, I'm not in a hurry. ”

The old ape added a few pieces of pine wood to the furnace, nodded and said, "You have enough energy to study these truths, and being young is a thing that many people envy." It's just like this little ruthless...... Hey, why are you asleep again? ”

The old ape patted Xiaobai, who was lying beside him.

Xiaobai whimpered twice, and then stopped moving.

Li Ye looked at Xiaobai, who pretended to be asleep, threaded the marinated meat with bamboo skewers, and roasted it on the stove.

smiled and said: "This is a foodie and lazy person, my Xiaoqing is also from that world, and he can speak and transform at a young age." This guy sleeps except for eating. ”

The rabbit meat roasted on the stove made a sizzling sound, and Li Ye frowned as he thought about the things on the road. "Senior, you said that all things have the vitality of heaven and earth, so is there also this rabbit meat I baked?"

The old ape lowered his head and thought for a while before saying: "It stands to reason that everything on the Tianshan Mountain contains the vitality of heaven and earth, but this hare has no cultivation after all, and it contains the vitality of heaven and earth, so it is pitiful, and only the demon beasts that have cultivated will have more vitality of heaven and earth." ”

"Then when they died, where did those Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi go?" Li Ye pondered for a moment and asked.

"This, I heard the Void Monk say before: whether it is a human or a demon beast, the true qi will disappear after death, only the heaven and earth vitality in the body will not disappear, they will naturally return to nature with death, for all things in heaven and earth to absorb. Otherwise, in the past few years, the vitality between heaven and earth would have been absorbed by the cultivators. ”

Li Ye nodded, he somewhat understood this truth. Looking at the old ape, he said, "The true qi generated by the cultivator through cultivation is distributed in the dantian and meridians of the body, and will disappear with the disappearance of the master's body. Only the vitality absorbed from heaven and earth can be retained for a long time, until one day it will return to this heaven and earth. ”

"That Dao said that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi of the Five Domains is getting less and less, is it because the power of the Nine Tribulations has left and brought the Yuan Qi away from this Heaven and Earth?"

The old ape sighed, looked at Li Ye and said, "This is a thing that has no choice, and it is why people who have cultivated to the end want to leave here." Because at that time, the heaven and earth here can no longer provide us with more vitality, and only by going to another world can we have more vitality and better opportunities. ”

Li Ye fell silent and no longer discussed this issue with the old ape. The rabbit meat on the stove has turned golden brown and gives off an enticing aroma.

Li Ye took out an urn of burning knives and poured a full bowl for the old ape, and poured half a bowl for himself and Xiaobai.

He took the roast meat off the stove and put it on a plate, carefully cut a piece of meat from the hind legs, handed it to Xiao Bai, who was staring, and then cut another slice and handed it to the old ape.

He raised his glass and said, "I respect you, senior, and thank you for teaching me and making me understand a lot of truths. ”

The old ape smiled and raised the cup, smiled and said, "I have learned a lot from you, and it is a pleasure to be able to drink such a fine wine in this snowy sky." After speaking, he drank all the burning knives in the cup.

Xiaobai on the side was startled, jumped up and glanced at the old ape, lowered his head to look into his wine bowl, stretched out his mouth and took a small sip, but shook his head violently and screamed twice.

Li Ye didn't have much to drink, so he could only take a small sip like Xiaobai, stretch out his little hand and cut a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

......

From dusk to late at night, the old ape kept preaching and teaching for the seven-year-old Li Ye's practice, and the old and the young completely forgot the passage of time, and the old ape, who drank an urn of wine, blushed and looked more and more energetic.

He spoke very seriously, Li Ye listened very seriously, and some complicated truths on the road of cultivation were explained by the old ape in a simple and easy-to-understand analysis, so that Yao Ye heard a voice that was different from what Mr. said but the same truth.

Since he was a child, he didn't have to worry about everything in the academy, and after leaving home and coming to Tianshan, he practiced non-stop every day on the stone wall behind the wooden house on the cliff.

For more than a year, I didn't ask about the world's mundane things, and I didn't have the leisure to ask my husband about these truths.

It wasn't until he had a serious illness this time that he had time to calm down and think about these issues.

After the old ape had finished drinking with him, they drank three more teas, and it was not until late in the evening that he left the hut and went back to his own cave, despite the snowstorm......

Li Ye sat alone at the table, listening to the whining sound of the wind and snow outside, thinking that at this time last year, he was cooking meat and drinking fruit wine with Mu Mu and Mr. in the wooden house on the mountain.

Watching Mr. swing his sword to cut fifteen snow, Mu Mu's master sat on the side and drank and talked about life with Mr...... And this year, only he followed a little white who couldn't speak to guard the cave.

Thinking about where the vitality of heaven and earth came from and where it was going, it is like when an old monk taught himself how to think about life.

......

On the second day, because it was snowing heavily, Li Ye and Xiaobai hid in the cave and did not come out.

I ate a stomach full of meat last night, Xiaobai was very well-behaved today, and there was no noise, so Li Ye slept a big lazy sleep and lay there in a daze.

Being in a daze is meditation, and he is slowly releasing his divine consciousness at this time, and he is looking towards the snowstorm outside the cave one by one.

According to the method taught by the old ape last night, he kept a quiet heart, and followed the breath of his divine consciousness and mental power to find those ethereal traces of heaven and earth vitality in the wind and snow.

He was already in the Jindan Quadruple Realm, and his divine consciousness at this moment was no longer as weak as the wooden house on the mountain, and the incomparably pure divine consciousness and mental power emanated from his body.

Like a fairy in the snow, he carefully felt the slightest fluctuation between heaven and earth, and felt the snowflakes in the sky flying non-stop.

I felt the breath of the wind blowing from the top of the mountain, I felt the crawling of the fierce group foraging in the snow on the mountain, I felt the old ape in the cave under the waterfall playing with a group of small apes, I sensed many things, but I never felt a response.

The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi on the Tianshan Mountains exists between all things, and according to the teachings of the old ape, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi between all things is the perception of the cultivator's divine consciousness.

There is a natural resistance, and they don't want to be easily sucked and controlled. Only when they can feel the kindness and joy in the spiritual aura of the practitioner, and only when the senses between the two can coexist harmoniously, will they respond.

"Kindness and joy...... Is it that I and I gently touch them with both hands? But the vitality between heaven and earth cannot be seen or touched, how can we make them feel my kindness and joy?"

Thinking like this, Xiaobai, who was lying on the side, let out a call, only to hear a series of sounds in its uncompetitive stomach.

Li Ye sighed, he was at the critical juncture of his understanding, and this uncompetitive foodie came to something bad again.

He got out of the quilt made of animal skin, stretched his waist, pointed his little finger at his Xiaobai stupidly, and said with a smile: "Foodie, when can you stop bothering me and cook something by yourself?"

Xiaobai turned his head, looked at the scriptures on the stone wall, and roared a few times to express the protest in his heart.

Li Yekong got dressed in good clothes, walked out of the cave with a bucket and pot, and stretched out his hand to push open the small door of the wooden shed.

Make a fire and boil water, this is the first thing to do in the morning.

Porridge can be eaten slowly, but tea should be drunk first.

Fill the pot with water and boil on the stove.

Li Ye sat at the table in a daze looking at the bamboo sword that had been sharpened yesterday, thinking that he really had to feel the vitality of heaven and earth in the wind and snow to cut the snow with one sword?

Even if he uses a bamboo sword to cut off a snowflake, but he still has to use an iron sword or even a water sword after all, and in the future, Mr. will have to build a heavier sword for himself, how can this be used as a weapon to cut snow with a sword?

Thinking of the astonishment of Mr. 's sword slashing snow, Li Ye felt that he had spent a lifetime of effort, and he might not be able to surpass it.

......

While thinking about these troublesome things, he held the knife in his hand and kept gently slashing the bamboo chips.

He had only seen Mr. sharpen the wooden sword, and the wood was made of different materials from bamboo, and he had no experience, so he could only sharpen it for a while, and then put it on the fire to roast for a while.

Trying to find a suitable force, the blade of the bamboo sword was neatly sharpened, as smooth as an iron sword.

Hearing that the water in the pot was already boiling, Li Ye put the pot of washed rice on it, and took off the kettle to wash tea, wash tea, and warm the pot.

I made myself a cup of hot tea, and there is tea to have life.

Gently blow the hot tea in your hand and take a shallow sip. Xiao Bai's eyes looked straight at him, Li Ye smiled and poured a cup for it and placed it in front of it.

In the following time, Li Ye continued to search for that clear and joyful heart, constantly trying to communicate his divine sense with all things in heaven and earth, and the hand knife in his hand was slowly polishing the sword body that was about to take shape.

He knew that if he was able to use his divine sense to communicate more things in heaven and earth, it would mean that he could gain more vitality from heaven and earth, and that would be a huge boost to his cultivation.
