The wooden door was pushed open, but it was the old wolf who walked in against an antelope.

Li Ye and the old ape both looked at the old wolf blankly, and Guan Yu was speechless.

After going to the Tianshan Mountains for more than a year, Li Ye saw such a big antelope for the first time.

The old wolf looked at the two people in a daze, and said with a smile: "I just came down from the mountain, and when I passed by the cliff on the other side of the river, I saw this guy fall at the bottom of the cliff, and it was warm to the touch. It is estimated that he came out to forage for food and accidentally fell off the cliff. ”

The old wolf laughed twice and said happily: "I just said that I haven't drunk for a long time, thinking that you will come over today, we have to think of a way to drink up Li Ye's burning knife, so that the little girl under the mountain can send some more." Before you could finish speaking, you walked in. With such a big antelope, we had to drink it for three days and three nights anyway, drink all the wine and eat the meat. ”

Li Ye clasped his hands together, revealing a compassionate face.

The old wolf looked at him like this, and asked puzzledly: "It's not the first time you have eaten meat, is it possible that you really want to go to the temple to be a monk?"

The old ape also glared at Li Ye in a strange manner: "If you don't eat, my two old men and Xiaobai can just eat more." ”

Li Ye listened to the nagging words of the two old men, sighed, and said softly: "Don't hide it from the two of you, I have been on the mountain for more than a year, and although I am also eating meat, I have never killed it myself. ”

The old ape scalded a teacup for the old wolf and motioned for Li Ye to pour tea for the old wolf.

After thinking about it, he looked at the huge antelope on the ground and said: "On the Tianshan Mountains, the antelope will starve to death if there is no grass to eat, the wolf will starve to death if there is no meat to eat, and we apes will starve to death if we can't find enough fruit and nut food. ”

Li Ye poured hot tea for the old wolf, brought it to him, and said with a red face: "I haven't fully figured out this truth yet, and when I have the opportunity, I will ask the master of the Big Buddha Temple for advice, and I hope the two seniors will not blame." ”

The sunlight outside the shed shone through the crack in the door on the table, and also on Li Ye's face.

The two old men looked at each other, as if there was a faint golden light behind him, and there was a breath, revealing some indescribable feelings, making the two old men seem to see a Jizo Bodhisattva chanting Buddhist scriptures.

"My husband said don't be attached and follow your heart. Li Ye said. He said that at this moment, as long as my state of mind is kind, then what I do is kind. So, the two seniors let go of their stomachs to drink and eat meat at night. ”

The old ape looked at Li Ye and shook his head, picked up the teacup in front of him and said: "You are kind-hearted, and it is a good thing and a bad thing to have compassion in your heart. You are like this now, how can you take Xiaobai into the world and walk the rivers and lakes in the future?"

When the old wolf heard this, he patted the table and said, "This is the truth, you must remember this truth when you walk in the world in the future." If you don't hurt people, there will be people who want to hurt you. After saying that, he picked up the teacup and drank it.

After the two old men drank the tea in their cups, they picked up the knives on the table, the old ape dragged the antelope on the ground, and the old wolf carried the hot water in the pot, pushed the door out, and went to the river outside the woods......

What Mr. had been worried about before finally happened to Li Ye on this day, because he had to accompany Bai Susu to the top of the mountain to cross the catastrophe, Mr. didn't have time to tell Li Ye the dark truth of the weak and the strong in the world.

As a result, Li Ye has cultivated to the realm of Jindan Fivefold, but he has never killed a single mouse, let alone be able to understand the dark truths in the world.

And Li Ye's fate and temperament are destined not to become a monk, which has caused the dilemma that Li Ye has to face today.

Fortunately, Li Ye's temperament is straightforward and he didn't pay too much attention to this problem.

He only had a lot of questions in his heart, but he just put it down for the time being, thinking that he would go down the mountain in the future, and then find the old monk master of the Big Buddha Temple to slowly ask for advice and theory.

The snow stopped and the sky was blue, and the sun was warm.

Even Xiaobai, who likes to hide in the hole and sleep, ran out and lay on the stool to look at Li Ye.

Stretching out, he raised his head and whined twice.

Li Ye looked at its appearance and said with a smile: "Your ancestor came and brought some meat, you can eat it with your stomach in the past few days." ”

Xiaobai screamed twice.

Li Ye pointed to the door and said, "The two of them went to the river to peel the meat, why don't you go and take a look, can you help?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a white shadow flash, and Xiaobai slipped out of the door.

......

After the two honests peeled and cut the antelope meat and carried it back to the wooden shed on the cliff floor, Li Ye had already burned the charcoal fire in the stove, and a basket of burning knives was also placed in the middle of the table.

The old ape handed Li Ye a leg of meat, tied the rest of the meat with bamboo strips, and hung it outside the eaves of the shed.

Li Ye took salt and spices to marinate the meat, and the old wolf put the pot full of water on the fire to boil the water.

"This meat is good, our brother can have a good drink today, I'm afraid that Mr. Xiao's wine is not enough. The old ape sat down at the table and reached out to pick up the teacup in front of him.

"I just made some effort to carry it, and that doesn't happen every day. The old wolf sat down opposite the old ape and looked back at Xiaobai, who was following behind.

Li Ye was a little regretful and said, "It's a pity that my husband is not here, otherwise he can accompany the two of you to drink and talk about your future life." ”

The old ape hit the snake and followed the stick, looked at Li Ye with wide eyes, and moved the stool to his side, with a sincere expression on his face.

Said seriously: "So, next time the little blue bird comes back, let her give your husband a message and welcome him here?"

The old wolf was stunned, and then immediately said, "This is a good idea, I approve of it." ”

Li Ye knew the intentions of these two old guys, but he didn't expose them, he responded softly, turned the marinated meat, took out a knife and cut it carefully, and prepared to put it on the stove to burn.

In the face of the two old men being so sincere, he rarely kept silent for a while.

"It stands to reason that my husband would not come here to look for me, and he must have hoped that I would find my way back. Li Ye thought for a while and said.

"What are you talking about, little sir?" said the old wolf.

"Little sir, you can't ignore us, I'm still looking forward to asking your husband for the great event of the catastrophe. The old ape said.

"That's the truth. The old wolf nodded.

Li Ye took down the boiling water and began to add back tea, added two pieces of charcoal to the stove, and said: "Okay, next time Xiaoqing comes, I will tell her to tell her husband about this, as for whether Mr. comes or not, it is not my responsibility." ”

The old wolf reached out to take the cup, and was almost burned, and was a little angry, and said, "You pour a cup of tea and pour it, and don't change your tricks to soup my hands." ”

The old ape looked at him and shook his head and said: "Nonsense, obviously you are in a hurry, how can you blame this on the head of the little gentleman? If you don't know how to drink tea, don't drink tea......

Li Ye listened to the two old chatters arguing, while skewering the cut meat on bamboo skewers and roasting it on the stove, and after a while, the aroma of meat spread in the shed.

The old wolf exclaimed in annoyance, "Old fellow, why have you diverted the topic again? I was talking about asking the little gentleman to invite his husband to come here as a guest. ”

Only Xiao Bai ignored his chatter, jumped from the stool he was sitting on to Li Ye's lap, and stared at the oily antelope meat roasted on the stove with wide eyes.

In the winter dusk, in a corner of the cold Tianshan Mountains, there is meat, wine, and stories.

......

In the early morning of the second day after eating the barbecue, the wind and snow on the Tianshan Mountain came again, and the cold wind roared around the cliff, and the snow flew.

The wild north wind was like a sword of frost and snow, obscuring the light of the sky above the Tianshan Mountains, and the whole world became gray and cold.

Standing on the cliff flat with wind and snow, feeling the breath of heaven and earth, Li Ye stretched out his hand and grabbed a snowflake, put it in the palm of his hand and observed it carefully, looking at the diamond-shaped snowflake, he felt that his right hand was shaking gently, and he couldn't help but draw out the bamboo sword and slash out a sword on it......

He resisted the urge to draw his sword, took a long breath, closed his eyes, and let his sense fly. He wants to feel the wind and snow more clearly, and he wants to melt himself into this world of wind and snow.

......

He closed his eyes tightly, thinking about the two different sword intents in the two scrolls of scriptures.

He tried to gather these two different sword intents together, and then carefully condensed them on the bamboo sword in his hand.

He knew that if he used his current realm cultivation and even the physical power of the Phaseless Dharma Body.

There is definitely no way to swing this sword, and even if it is forcibly slashed, only one snow slag will fall on the body of the sword.

Standing quietly under the cedar for half an hour, at this moment it was impossible to distinguish which one was the cedar and which one was Li Ye, as if he had become one with heaven and earth.

With a slight movement of his fingers, the bamboo sword gently changed direction.

He didn't run the true yuan in the dantian, nor did he run the phaseless law body, and he didn't try to condense the sword of divine consciousness.

Like a toddler, he wielded a seemingly clumsy sword.

The movement of the sword he slashed out was simple, simpler and softer than the hundreds of thousands of swords he had slashed a few days ago.

Because the snowflakes falling from the sky are themselves simpler, more primitive, and weaker than bamboo swords.

At this moment, he remembered the bamboo leaves that Mu Mu had chopped down with him.

Outside the woods of the wooden house, Mu Mu cut off a piece of pine needles with him.

At this moment, he felt that the bamboo sword could cut bamboo leaves, cut pine needles, and cut many things, such as the flying snow in front of him.

At this moment, he could no longer feel the weight of the bamboo sword in his hand, as if the arm was the bamboo sword, and the bamboo sword was the arm, and he had a kind of air flow in his body that had not been flowing gently in his body a long time ago.

It had been a long time since he had swung his sword to cut off bamboo leaves and pine needles, and there was some nostalgia.

It's been a long time since he's seen the willful and coquettish Mu Mu, and he misses it a little.

Swinging his sword again today, his movements were still so clumsy even though his eyes were closed.

It's so clumsy that it makes people feel very uncomfortable to look at.

It was this seemingly clumsy sword that was softly swung out and slashed towards the wind and snow in the sky.

After a while, I opened my eyes.

As soon as I lowered my head, I saw half a crystal clear snowflake, quietly sticking to the body of the bamboo sword.

In the days when there was no husband, without Mu Mu's sparring.

He was finally in the howling wind and snow of the Tianshan Mountains, in a lonely and lonely day.

Slash the snow with a sword.
