The academy at the foot of the mountain was happy, and the master and apprentice on the mountain began to practice in the mountain.

The gentleman took a nap, and when he woke up, Li Ye had already set up an iron pot outside the cave, picked up some dry wood from the woods, and made a fire to boil water.

When the gentleman came out and saw that the fire had been kindled and the water was boiling, he went into the cave and took some rice, put it in the pot, and tore another piece of dried meat, and sprinkled it with salt and spices.

The two of them cooked a pot of meat porridge, and the faint aroma of meat wafted away in less than a moment.

Covering the pot, Mr. walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the hollow valley and secluded forest, and sighed: "The Tianshan Mountains in autumn are beautiful, the fallen leaves are red, and the heavy forests are dyed.

This mountain is full of wild fruits and mushrooms, we can let go of our belly and eat it. ”

Li Ye walked to Mr.'s side, looking at the Tianshan Mountains at sunset, there was light smoke rising, around the ditch and jungle, forming a beautiful picture.

"When I first went up the mountain, I thought the Tianshan Mountains were very beautiful, much more beautiful than the scenery of Fengyun City. It's just that I gasped so much later that I forgot to look at the scenery on the road, but I didn't expect the scenery on this mountain to be more beautiful, and I really can't describe it in words. ”

The gentleman glanced at Li Ye, returned to the pot where the meat was boiling, found a stone to sit down, and beckoned Li Ye to come over.

"When I went up the mountain, I made you feel with your heart that climbing the mountain is also a method of Dharma practice, do you remember?"

The gentleman sprinkled the firewood at the bottom of the pot and wanted to cook the porridge over low heat.

Li Ye moved a stone, sat by the fire, and looked at his husband in a daze.

The gentleman stirred the porridge in the pot and said slowly: "I am not your old monk master, some Buddhism cannot teach you, I can only tell you some truths." ”

Li Ye nodded.

"There are three realms in the practice of Buddhism: seeing the mountain is the mountain and seeing the water is water, and then seeing the mountain is not the mountain and seeing the water is not water; and later, when you realize the first two layers, you can realize the third level, seeing the mountain is still a mountain, and seeing water is still water. ”

Li Ye was a little stunned, looking at Mr. who couldn't answer.

Mr. looked at Li Ye, who was holding on, and couldn't help but knock Li Ye's head with the branch in his hand, and said, "Actually, you have already understood, but you don't know." ”

Li Ye was still in a daze.

The gentleman was anxious, and knocked Li Ye on the head twice harder, and said, "Think about it again, what you just said." ”

Li Ye was anxious and blurted out: "What the disciple just said is that when I first went up the mountain, I felt that the Tianshan Mountain was very beautiful, much more beautiful than the scenery of Fengyun City. It's just that when I gasped so badly, I forgot to look at the scenery on the road, and when I came up the mountain later, I felt that the scenery on the mountain was still so beautiful. ”

The gentleman nodded and said, "Is this the three realms?"

When Li Ye heard this, he was stunned.

He muttered: "When I first saw the Tianshan Mountains, the mountains are mountains, and the water is water, which is very beautiful." ”

"Halfway through, exhausted and panting, I can't care about the scenery on the road, then the mountain is not a mountain, and the water is not water. ”

"Come up to the mountain, after resting, recover your physical strength, and then look at the scenery, the natural mountain is still a mountain, and the water is still water. ”

As soon as these words were finished, Li Ye froze again, and the whole person fell to the ground, his hands and feet naturally turned to the sky, and he fell into an indescribable realm.

Mr.'s head drink made Li Yeyou feel like an empowered, and he quietly had an epiphany and understood the truth that he couldn't understand before. And these truths should have been taught by the old monk of the Big Buddha Temple.

Unexpectedly, by chance, the gentleman who had not entered Buddhism was enlightened.

It really fulfilled the Buddha's words: Everyone is a Buddha, and everyone can become a Buddha.

Mr. looked at Li Ye in the epiphany, and sighed with emotion, his apprentice doesn't need to say more, teach more, as long as he clicks at the critical time, he can comprehend on his own, he is really a genius in a thousand miles.

At this pace, it is estimated that in less than two years, you will be able to achieve success.

Stirring the porridge in the pot, thinking about the next plan.

In order to collect the medicine before it snows, you have to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables to dry, hunt some wild beasts to dry, and build a shed on the platform outside the cave for daily life and practice.

Half an hour later, seeing that the sky was about to be darkened, Li Ye came back to his senses and looked at his husband and smirked.

Mr. made a bowl of porridge for Li Ye and said, "Hurry up and eat, it's getting dark." After eating, making a pot of tea, we went to the cave to talk, it would be cold outside at night. ”

The master and apprentice climbed the mountain with all their might, and they were already hungry, and as soon as the porridge was cooked, they sent it to their mouths, and in less than a moment they swept away a pot of meat porridge.

Li Ye carried the pot to wash, fetched water to boil, ate the meat, had to drink a pot of hot tea, and consumed food, which was taught by Mr. Li Ye.

When it got dark, Li Ye had already entered the cave with the brewed tea, sat on the stone platform where Mr. was practicing, put a cup, and poured tea.

Looking at the flickering oil lamp, it was as if I had returned to the house.

The gentleman picked up the teacup, blew on it, tasted it, and said, "This stone platform is too hard to sleep on, tomorrow we will go find some dry thatch, spread it on it, and then put on the quilt, and it will be soft." ”

Li Ye said yes. Picking up the cup in front of him, he blew and took a sip like his husband.

Mr. looked at Li Ye, who was sitting quietly, and said, "Shicai, what do you gain?"

"There is no big gain, but some have comprehended some of the truths that the old monk said, and some places are still a little vague. ”

Li Ye looked at Mr. and replied quietly.

Mr. flicked the oil lamp, looked back at Li Ye, and said, "I don't fully understand, it's normal." Speaking of Buddhism, you have not yet entered the world, so naturally you cannot understand the worldly Dharma in this red dust. ”

"You have now had an epiphany of the truth, and when you practice in the future, you will have a deeper understanding that this is an opportunity that others want to ask for but can't get, and you can even climb the Tianshan Mountain, and you will understand, it is very rare. ”

"Just like the Phaseless Dharma Body that you practiced, you have now reached the second level of cultivation, and you will continue to practice to a higher level in the future, but it does not prevent you from going back in the future and carefully experiencing today's feelings, and then your cultivation will be more profound. ”

Li Ye nodded and said, "Is it just like what Mr. said, it doesn't matter if you don't understand some parts of the books you are reading now, and in the future, you will naturally slowly realize that it is the same." ”

Li Ye was able to pass at one o'clock, and the gentleman was happy, so he added tea to Li Ye's cup, and said: "Also, you now feel that it is difficult to walk on the Tianshan Mountains with iron armor on your body, let alone practice?"

"But you have to think about it, when you put on the iron armor for the first time, you wore out your skin and flesh and bled for many days, what is it now? One day, you take off the iron armor and walk down the Tianshan Mountain, who else in this river and lake is more sensitive and harder than you?"

"The hardships you endure now are so that you will suffer less in the future. After drinking this tea, let's rest. Tomorrow I will go to pick up thatch, then I will cut down some trees, build a shed outside, and in rainy and snowy weather, there will be a place to drink tea and practice. ”

Li Ye, who was still reminiscing about what Mr. said, drank all the tea in the cup, and walked to his stone platform, where Mr. had already laid a quilt for him, and tonight, he could sleep peacefully.

The gentleman also drank all his tea, got into his quilt, and with a wave of his hand, extinguished the oil lamp not far away, and the cave suddenly became dark, and after a while, the sound of the gentleman's quiet sleep was heard.

This day is like the water in the willow river in the city, always flowing endlessly.

Li Yexin said that since he glanced at the young lady on the willow river, it has been a long time, but in the blink of an eye, it has been a long time.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, at your fingertips.

This year I have had a very hard time, from the tempering of the body after practicing with my husband, to going to the Big Buddha Temple to practice Buddhism with the old monk, it seems that everything is like a dream, I can see it but I can't grasp it.

This year, Li Ye couldn't remember how many books he had read, but he remembered that almost all the books in his husband's study had been turned over by him.

I can't remember how many miles I've walked, but I feel that the streets and alleys of Fengyun City are full of my own sweat.

Some of the Dharma of the Great Buddha Temple has been imprinted in his mind, just like the sutras that he often recites, as long as he inadvertently, he will naturally chant from his mouth.

It was as if the book had melted into the body, becoming a part of the body.

The sound outside the cave could not come in, at this time it was silent, and on the wall of the cave, there was a faint moonlight, through the night mist, like a divine light, from the sky, through the hole, shot in.

took off his clothes, pulled over the quilt, closed his eyes, and quietly recited the six-character mantra a few times, Li Ye thought that he could sleep well tonight and wash away the dust of this way.

......

Li Hongsleeve has always liked to sleep lazy, and breakfast is usually brought to the bed by Xiaohong, shouting and shouting, before she reluctantly gets up. In your own words: life is long, and it doesn't hurt to sleep a little more.

Today's Li Hongsleeve got up early, called Dongfang Yu'er to follow her, and went out for breakfast. Because, after breakfast, Li Mingzhu is about to go home.

went downstairs, walked through two shops, and the two came to Wang Xiaoer's fritter shop, chose a table and sat down.

I ordered two fried sticks, two steamed buns, and two bowls of soy milk.

Touching Dongfang Yu'er's little face, Li Hongsleeve said with a smile: "There is a saying in this Fengyun City, called: Wang Xiaoer's fritters, Hu Mazi's wine, the small song of the Red Sleeve Building, and Li Twelve's poems. ”

Dongfang Yu'er flickered, her little face raised, and she asked puzzledly, "Who is Li Twelve?"

Li Hongsleeves was stunned, thinking that this girl really didn't know, smiled lightly, and pinched the face of the proprietor Yu'er.

said: "It's Li Ye's kid, it is said that he was born twelve hours ago, and he was struck by thunder, and there are many allusions to twelve, when he comes back to Sifang City, you ask him yourself." ”

Dongfang Yu'er's little face turned red, and her eyes were full of tears.

Li Hongsleeve looked at it, thinking that he shouldn't mention it, and hurriedly said: "There are a lot of breakfast sellers in this Fengyun City, but Wang Xiaoer is the best here, they have been doing it for three generations, and they are an old shop." After three generations, the taste of the fritters has not changed, and the size has not changed, he makes a pot of soybean milk every day, a few baskets of steamed buns, and only a few pots of fried oil. ”

"Hu Mazi's wine is because his family's wine is strong enough. In his words: Only his family sells wine, and everyone else sells water. Other people's wine is steamed and brewed, his family is three steamed and three brewed, and the time spent alone is more than that of other families, and the sales are ten copper coins more expensive than others, so his family's wine is not enough to sell. ”

"The little song of the Red Sleeve Building, you also saw it, it's not my aunt who blows it, which one in Fengyun City dares to compare with me. It's just that Li Ye's kid's poems have only been added to it in recent years. ”

"Oops, starving. Xiao Er, hurry up and bring the fritters, the old lady is starving to find you to settle the account. ”

In order not to let Dongfang Yu'er think nonsense, she had to take food to gag her mouth.

Xiao Er answered, and served two large bowls of steaming soybean milk, on which were two fried golden fritters, two plates, and two white steamed buns with old noodles.

Dongfang Yu'er took off the fritters with her small hands and put them aside, holding a big bowl with both hands and a small mouth, and leaned towards the steaming soy milk.

Keep your head down and drink gently. I don't know if she drank soy milk or her own tears.

Li Hongsleeve watched quietly, and didn't know what to say, but silently took out the silk scarf in his arms.

"If you want to come next year, just bring a letter to my aunt, and I will pick you up in Fengyun City. Li Hongsleeve thought about it and said to Dongfang Yu'er.

Dongfang Yu'er nodded, looked at her and replied, "I know, I will definitely trouble my aunt to pick me up when the time comes." ”

"Your father and mother don't have to worry about it, we'll settle them. Li Hongsleeve lowered his head and took a sip of soy milk and said with a smile.

"I know that my aunt is the best for Yu'er!" Dongfang Yu'er finally showed a smile.
