In the early morning, after cooking porridge, Li Ye accompanied Xiaobai to practice swords on the cliff.

After many days of hard swinging the knife, Xiao Bai was already able to complete the 10,000 swings that Li Ye had given him in two hours.

The cool summer breeze on his body did not make him feel cool at all, but he sweated profusely.

Li Ye handed him a towel and said with a smile: "Rest for a while, if you can't finish it in one hour, it will take another hour." ”

Xiao Bai glanced at him, and said in his heart, you obviously don't like me.

Li Ye, who had been practicing for an hour, looked at Xiaobai's uncomfortable appearance and said on a whim: "Okay, I'll accompany you to practice for another hour." ”

After speaking, he picked up the bamboo sword leaning on the cedar, waved his hand, and slashed out a sword carelessly.

Xiao Bai, who was wiping his sweat, looked at him like hell, his mouth wide open.

Li Ye looked at Xiaobai's surprised appearance, frowned and said, "Is there anything wrong?"

"You...... Why are you holding a sword in your left hand?" Xiao Bai was a little confused.

Li Ye looked at the hand holding the bamboo sword, and sure enough, it was the left hand.

He has always held a sword in his right hand, and he didn't pay attention when he talked to Xiaobai just now, so he didn't even react to holding the sword in his left hand.

Laughing softly, he laughed at himself: "The left hand is not bad, then I will try to use the left hand to complete this ten thousand swords, and it will take a few hours." ”

Xiaobai nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll look at it, hurry up." ”

Under the cedar tree, Li Ye was holding a sword in his left hand, and he was eager to continue swinging it, when he suddenly heard Xiaobai's howl, the interest on his face suddenly became a little stupid, and it was difficult to swing a sword as carelessly as just now.

I had to say embarrassedly: "It's not that I just learned to hold a sword in my left hand, I'm a little unaccustomed, I have to practice, why do you look at me like this, hurry up and practice your own." ”

Xiaobai hung the towel on the tree, picked up the knife, stood aside and shouted, "Ten thousand and one....... 10,000 pick 3 ......"

Li Ye shook his head, put his mind on the sword in his left hand, tried a few times, but couldn't find the feeling just now, so he had to swing the sword crookedly, and said in his heart: "Fifteen...... Thirty-five...... Sixty ......"

The old ape walked up to the cliff with his hands behind his back, he came to pick up Xiaobai to collect medicine, these days he followed the old wolf to pick up a lot of herbs for Li Ye, and planned to pick another day today and stop.

However, he didn't expect that after stepping into the cliff, he saw that Li Ye was still practicing swords, usually at this time Li Ye should have sat in the shack boiling water and drinking tea for many years, where Xiaobai had stopped and he was still practicing.

Take a closer look, looking at Li Ye's hand holding the sword, looking at him crookedly, without a trace of sword moves.

The old ape couldn't help but be dumbfounded, looked at Li Ye, who was standing extremely sweaty, and asked, "You are, the sword with your left hand...... You're still not letting people live?"

"Grandpa Ape, let's go for tea and set off in a moment. Leave my brother alone, he's a little crazy today. Xiaobai took the old ape's hand and walked inside, and with a stretch of his hand, he pulled down the towel from the tree.

Li Ye didn't reply, just paid attention to his left hand, his whole body was like a hundred thousand ants biting, extremely uncomfortable but not letting him lose face in front of Xiaobai.

insisted on swinging each sword, silently chanting in his heart: "Seven thousand one hundred and eleven...... Seven thousand one hundred and twenty ......"

He originally wanted to change back to his right hand after Xiaobai left, but he just practiced, and gradually found a trace of feeling, so he didn't want to give up again.

Most of the cultivators in the world practice swords with their right hands, and even a few who use their left hands can only use one hand.

If you can practice the sword in your left hand as well as your right hand, even if it is only half of your right hand, it will become your killer weapon.

Thinking of this, my heart was no longer depressed, and the strength of my left hand seemed to be a little easier, and it was no longer as uncomfortable as at the beginning.

Since there are still some days left in the mountains, let's put more effort into practicing the left-handed sword.

Even if he mastered Ruoshui Sword Intent early, Li Ye's realm had reached Jindan, and the sword in his right hand was like an arm, but when he used his left sword, he found that his cultivation was so difficult.

In front of his clever right-handed sword, every sword swung out of his left hand is out of order, and every sword can't escape the same trajectory.

Time passed little by little, and in the quiet practice, the old ape led Xiaobai down the cliff and said to Li Ye, who was wielding the sword: "You practice slowly, my grandfather and I will go shopping again, maybe there will be a good harvest today." ”

Xiaobai waved to him and took the old ape's hand and walked down the cliff.

Because of Xiaobai's ignorance, Li Ye was a little injured, and felt that Xiaobai had hurt his self-esteem at this moment.

Raising his arm and pointing to the reckless Tianshan Mountain in front of Yaping, Li Ye raised his head and shouted, "One day, my left-handed sword will slash out a shocking sword." ”

There was a roaring echo from the valley opposite, but the old ape and Xiaobai had already walked away and did not hear his heart at this time.

The fiery heart in his thin body has never bowed to himself since the day he practiced with his husband, and this time is no exception.

He thought that one day he would make his left-handed sword more powerful than his right-handed sword, so that everyone who despised him would taste the danger.

He put away his sword and sighed softly, thinking that there was still a book to copy, which he had to give to the old wolf and the old ape before going down the mountain.

The water on the stove was boiling, and the old ape and Xiaobai drank a cup of tea and the aroma, and Li Ye poured himself a cup of hot tea on the tea soup.

After grinding ink and laying paper, picking up a pen and unfolding the scroll, Li Ye then began to copy the unfinished scriptures.

Alone and quiet, reciting the classics, seeing the Bodhisattva again, brave and diligent.

Into the deep mountains, thinking about the Buddha's way, and seeing the desire to leave, often idle.

......

I remembered that the old monk master often said that copying scriptures can lead to the courage to leave the evil path and be born into the good way. Good looks, transcendent talents, and special blessings.

It can also plant good roots for all sentient beings. With the hearts of all sentient beings, we will be a great blessed field and obtain immeasurable victories. Where you are born, you can often see the Buddha and hear the Dharma. Until the three wisdom are opened, the six links are witnessed, and the Buddha is quickly attained.

At the beginning, Li Ye copied the scriptures to practice calligraphy and writing, and later under the enlightenment of Mr. Yao, the scriptures were regarded as a convenient way to practice kendo.

Later, due to being alone in the mountains, it was inevitable that I would be troubled, so it was regarded as a kind of practice to hone my state of mind, and there was no such thing as the many merits that the old monk said.

After thinking for a moment, I completely gave up many thoughts in my heart, and was no longer obsessed with whether it was for the sake of practicing swords or calligraphy, or whether it was for the sake of cultivating the state of mind or the merits of Buddhism.

A heart was quiet, only the kettle on the stove made the slightest sound in the shed, and a few birdsongs could not be heard outside the cliff.

Hold back his mind, his wrist moved slightly, and the full ink fell on the blank scroll, although he is not a famous master in Fengyun City now, he has copied countless volumes of the "Jizo Sutra".

Now he has copied several volumes of the Lotus Sutra, and whenever he calms down and copies the scriptures, it is like the Buddha in front of the hall has its own treasure and is illusory.

If the old monk of the Great Buddha Temple is here at this moment, he will be amazed that Li Ye's various Dharma appearances have been cultivated to the fullest, and he has the body of a Buddha elephant between his feet and waves.

When he saw that the old ape and Xiaobai had not turned back, he felt a little embarrassed, and Li Ye stopped his pen and ink.

After putting away the scriptures, I relaxed and lay down on the bamboo chair.

......

At this time, on the river five miles away from Yaping, the old ape and Xiaobai were looking at a big black python by the river in a daze.

This is a black, big python with a small white waist and a thick waist, and two horns have grown on its head, and it is estimated that it will be able to turn into a dragon in tens or hundreds of years, but now it is limp at the feet of the old ape and Xiaobai.

"Poof. Xiaobai felt that his legs were numb, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground, looked down at the horned python that was cut in two, and muttered: "It's not that we want to kill it, it's that it's chasing me all the time, my brother won't scold me for killing living beings indiscriminately, right?"

"Scold a fart, Mr. Xiao is fake benevolence, and the Tianshan Mountains have always been weak and strong. ”

The old ape was extremely emotional at this moment, and waved his fist excitedly, just a little, this black-horned python wanted Xiaobai's life!"Think about it, if I didn't come with you today, you would have fed it." ”

Xiao Bai's face was already pale at this time, and it was the first time he had encountered this black python, so he was naturally scared.

The old ape flipped over the dead black python with Xiaobai's black knife and said: "This thing has grown horns, it is estimated that it is at least a demon beast of the Distraction Realm, maybe there is already a Neidan, it is a good thing to take it back, just to make up for Li Ye." ”

Xiaobai nodded weakly and said with a smile: "I have to let him make up for it, or if he goes down the mountain, he will not even be as good as me, it will definitely make people laugh." ”

The old ape looked at Xiaobai with a smile, but he was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Xiaobai to dare to do something with this distracted guy at such a young age, but fortunately he came in time.

"This skin is rare, it is best to use it to make sheaths for knives and swords for you, this meat is estimated to be more than 400 catties, enough for us to eat for many days, and it is estimated that you can break through the double realm after eating." ”

Xiaobai looked at him, nodded and said, "I'm scared to death, in such a critical moment, fortunately there is Grandpa Ape here, otherwise my little life will be confessed here." ”

"Haha......" the old ape let out a happy laugh. "I probably haven't eaten anything like this in a long time, and I'm going to cut some and bring them back to the cave for my children to taste. ”

Xiaobai smiled and said, "But please come down and drink." ”

"This is naturally indispensable to that old thing, after eating this meat, maybe we two old guys will go to the top of the mountain in advance to survive the robbery. The old ape laughed.

"Although it is terrifying, it is finally an unexpected gain, and it is estimated that my brother will be happy!" Xiaobai finally stood up.

His face was very complicated, looking at the python in front of him, but his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

If you do it again, you will kill him, and you don't dare to fight with the python in front of you, you have finally transformed into a shape, but you don't want any damage to your body.

Looking at the old ape, he asked, "Grandpa Ape, have you seen this guy before?"

The old ape glared at him, but did not speak.

"It's not convenient to deal with here, so we move back and deal with it again. The old ape resisted the snake head of the black horned python and his own son, put it on his back, looked at Xiaobai and said, "You bring the rest of the tail back, and then skin it when you go back." ”

Xiaobai nodded, followed the old ape's tail on his back, one old and one young, walked back in the direction of Yaping.

As he walked, Xiaobai thought that if his brother saw it, he would definitely be happy.

The old ape glanced back at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao naturally likes it." ”

Xiaobai smiled: "That's good!"
