After listening to Patriarch Bodhi's sermon, Patriarch Bodhi said, "Juesheng, come out, you have not been in the mountains for a long time, and there are many unfamiliar places where you should consult your senior brothers." ”

Confused: "The disciple knows. ”

Patriarch Bodhi said, "Today we will be here, and they are all scattered." Jue gave birth to you and stayed, as a teacher has something to say. ”

Everyone slowly exited the main hall. The confused one remained on top of the main hall. "I don't know what the master left behind the apprentice?"

Bodhi Patriarch said: "Those who practice should practice their hearts, and forget what can be forgotten in the past, remember, if you practice in the mountains, you will be awakened, and when you go out of the mountain gate, you will be Wu Shuisheng." Don't let mental instability lead to confusion. ”

"The disciple is enlightened. ”

"Stand down. ”

"Yes, master. ”

Confused, he came to the backyard and found a sharp axe to prepare for chopping wood on the mountain. I asked about the road in the mountains and prepared to go up the mountain to chop wood. When he walked to the gate of the back mountain, Jue Xin was waiting with an iron axe in his hand.

"Senior brother, is this?" asked Shui Sheng.

Jue Xin said: "The master said that you have pulled down too much homework, let me help you make up more lessons in your spare time." ”

Shui Sheng hurriedly bowed to Juexin and saluted, "Thank you, Senior Brother Juexin." ”

"Let's go, and when I'm on the way, I'll tell you the ins and outs of the cultivation journey. Jue Xin said.

The two of them continued to go up the mountain, and on the way, Jue Xin carefully explained the general level of the cultivation in the world, and the practice is to attract the aura of heaven and earth into the body, so that the body is light, so as to achieve the same longevity as heaven and earth. Cultivation is to act against the sky, and the sky is mighty. Therefore, cultivators are divided into three levels and nine realms. The first stage is the foundation building period, which is divided into three realms, which are to introduce qi into the body, wash the tendons and cut the marrow, and gather qi dantian; the second stage is the valley period, and the valley is also divided into three realms, which are to absorb the wind and drink the dew, ride the wind and resist the dragon, and the soul is out of the body; the third stage is the Jindan period, and the Jindan is also divided into three realms, which are the knots, the baby, and the ascension. After ascending, you can become a god. There is a difference between difficulty and ease when ascending, and becoming an immortal is divided into five immortals: heaven, earth, gods, people, and ghosts, depending on the merit achievement of the period. Each of the five immortals has its own infinite mysteries. It's not a momentary statement, but it's clear.

The scenery on the road is unique, with towering thousand-year-old rosewood trees and plane trees specially for the phoenix. There are all kinds of exotic plants. The ape shuttles freely between the trees, and the phoenix breeds peacocks and roc singing in the branches. Add countless colors to this tranquil mountain forest.

From afar, I saw a 10,000-year-old peach tree, the green peach leaves fluttered gently in the breeze, the branches of the horizontal branches were full of green peaches, the huge roots showed that the peach tree had lived for many years, this is a huge frightening peach tree, a tree into a forest four words can summarize the huge peach tree, the two came to the peach tree, Juexin with the aquatic arch saluted and said: "Disciple to meet the ancestor of the peach tree." ”

Shui Sheng said curiously: "Could it be that this peach tree has also become a fine man?"

This huge peach tree suddenly said, "It turns out that Juexin has come here to cut wood." Who is this one next to you?"

Shui Sheng hurriedly replied: "The disciple is a new Juesheng, and his common name is Wu Shuisheng. ”

"Haha, it turned out to be a new kid, and you will come to this mountain to chop wood in the future. Not bad, not bad. Peachtree laughed.

Jue Xin said: "Yes, your peaches should be ripe in two or three months, and I will eat some peaches here when the time comes." ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I'm waiting for you, but you boys don't even come on weekdays. As long as the peaches are ripe, they can't be driven away. "Peach Tree Ancestor said.

Jue Xin smiled innocently: "I'll go chop wood first." If you miss the time, you may be punished by the master. ”

"Haha, go, go. After speaking, the peach tree fell silent.

When he was far away from the peach tree, Juexin said: "This place is renamed Rotten Peach Mountain, and the peach tree has been practicing here for 10,000 years, and you will have to deal with him in the future." ”

"Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me. Confused.

Since yesterday, Enlightenment and Awakening came to help Shui Sheng take care of the room, and the two of them have become much closer to him in my heart. In the future, when the same sect cultivates the same sect, only by bowing your head and not looking up and seeing each other can you have a harmonious relationship with your senior brothers. There are many trees in the mountains, but they should not be cut down at will, and the wood used for firewood should not be too good, and the trees that are not in the climate should be selected as much as possible. Juexin's speed is very fast, and it only takes an axe to cut down a tree the size of a bowl. The trees are then cut down into sections and tied up to wait for the water to grow.

After coming to this world, the strength has increased a lot, but it is not as fast as the speed of enlightenment. By the time the firewood is tied, it is already waning. The two walked back in the sunset.

"You did well today, looking at your thin body, I thought you were a weak scholar with no power. Juexin joked.

Shui Sheng smiled: "I used to chop firewood, and I always chose those good woods. It is the first time that inferior trees have been selected in the forest like today. ”

Juexin said: "I used to be the same as you, I came to this rotten peach mountain to cut down trees, no matter what he saw, as long as he saw something pleasing to the eye, he would cut it directly." Once, I cut down a tree that needed two people to hold and took it back into the hole, and was scolded by the master, saying that this tree has been cultivated for thousands of years, and it can be transformed into a demon immediately, because of your laziness and hurt a living life. The master punished me to face the wall for a month and copy the "Sutra of the Past Life" a thousand times. For the Dryad Excesse. ”

Shui Sheng was very surprised, why did the Bodhi Ancestor make this disciple copy the scriptures of the Buddhist school, obviously the Taoist school.

Jue Xin said: "Do you know the Sutra of Death?"

Shui Sheng said: "You know, the "Sutra of Passing Away" is the "Mantra of Death" of Buddhism, and I have read this set of scriptures in the temple before. I'm just surprised why the patriarch asked you to copy the Buddhist scriptures to cross the ghosts?"

"You don't know this, the master and his old man is a master of the three teachings, each of the mysteries of the teachings are handy, so when teaching us the Tao, it is also eclectic, in the future you will understand, if there is a place that you don't understand, the master will quote the classics to tell the mysteries of the three teachings one by one. "Juexin worships authenticity.

Shui Sheng was even more surprised after hearing this, he had heard the Akajiri horse monkey say that the three religions were different, and those who had great magical powers could not obtain the true transmission of the three religions, even the high Taishang Dao Ancestor did not dare to say that he was proficient in the mysteries of the three religions. The three golden immortals who entered the Buddha from the Tao, the three golden immortals of Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, and Fuxian Zhenren have now become nondescript existences. Although it is a golden immortal, it is only a bodhisattva. This is the result of abandoning the path and studying the subtleties of the two schools.

Shui Sheng smiled: "As you say, isn't our master more powerful than the Buddhist sect leader Shakyamuni Dao Ancestor Taishang Laojun?"

Juexin said proudly: "That's nature, you can see that the immortal has been enshrined in the cave, even the statue of the Sanqing god is not qualified." But whoever comes to the mountains to meet the master is commensurate with the younger generation. Do you know the ancestor of the immortals?"

Shui Sheng nodded, this Earth Immortal Ancestor still knew.

Juexin said in surprise: "You also know this?" As if he had been hit, he wanted to show off in front of this junior brother, who would have thought that he would know. "If you know him, I will test you and tell me where he came from. ”

Shui Sheng said: "The master of the Wuzhuang Temple in Xiniu Hezhou is the ancestor of the earth immortals, Zhen Yuanzi. There is a treasure in the view of the ginseng fruit tree. This tree is the spiritual root of heaven and earth, this tree blooms once every 3,000 years, bears fruit once every 3,000 years, matures after another 3,000 years, and only gets 30 fruits in 10,000 years. This ginseng fruit is also known as grass returning pills, and you can live for 40,000 years if you eat one. Legend has it that the generation of the Yuanzi of this town is extremely high, Sanqing is just a friend, the fourth emperor is an old man, and Jiuyao is a younger generation. Only the incense of the word 'heaven and earth' is enshrined in the temple. The stunt of the ancestor of this earth immortal is a masterpiece. This technique can absorb the yin and yang of heaven and earth. ”

After saying this, Juexin was suddenly speechless, the little junior brother in front of him was really well-informed, and he knew the ancestor of the earth immortal inside and out clearly, and he was asked what underwear Zhen Yuanzi wore on weekdays.

Jue Xin said: "Is there anything else you don't know? ”

Aquatic shrugged.

"Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the earth immortals, saw the master and also performed the teacher's courtesy. Juexin said proudly.

Shui Sheng said: "You just blow it, is it possible that the master is taller than Sanqing?"

Juexin said: "I know you won't believe it, when Zhen Yuanzi came to visit the master last year, he also sent two ginseng fruits, eh, have you ever seen ginseng fruits?"

Shui Sheng said: "I haven't seen it, but I heard that the ginseng fruit is like a child before the three dynasties when it is ripe, with all four limbs and five senses. ”

"Hehe, I've seen it, that ginseng is really as you said, if I didn't know that it was a ginseng fruit, I would have thought it was a child under the dynasty. Jue Xin said.

The two of them talked and unconsciously walked to the gate of the back mountain, Jueming stood at the door with a gloomy face, and rushed back when he saw Juesheng and Juexin talking and laughing. He said with a cold expression: "Do you know that you have missed the time to cook?"

Jue Xin cautiously smiled and said: "Senior Sister Jueming, you know, Jue Sheng just went to the mountain to chop wood today, and his unfamiliar hands and feet are naturally not good, so don't worry about Jue Sheng if you have a lot of adults." ”

"Copy the scriptures of the Great Dao ten times. With that, he turned and left.

Juexin shrugged and said, "Senior sister is in charge of the precepts and has always been strict. ”

Shui Sheng said: "It's okay, let's send the firewood to the dining hall first, but don't miss the dinner time of the senior brothers." The two hurriedly brought the firewood to the kitchen.

A black-faced Taoist priest who had never been masked hurriedly walked over and took away the firewood and said: "But I can be regarded as rushing back, if I don't do it, I'm afraid I will have to tear down the window and door to set fire to the rice." ”

"Senior Brother Shi, I'm sorry that Juesheng went up the mountain to chop wood for the first time, so he was delayed for some time. Jue Xin said: "Jue Sheng, this is the consciousness of the tenth senior brother. ”

Shui Sheng arched his hand and said, "I've seen Senior Brother Ten." ”

The black-faced Taoist priest looked at Shui Sheng and said, "You are Jue Sheng who is disgusted by the Heavenly Dao? Hehe, it's a bit interesting." Everyone will be the same brother in the future, and there is no need to see each other. With that, he carried the firewood into the kitchen. Soon, curling smoke wafted out of the chimney.

After dinner, Shui Sheng came to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to light the lantern, grind the ink, spread out the paper, and carefully copied the "Treatise on the Great Dao" ten times before His Excellency wrote the ink. It was already the middle of the night.

In the middle of the moon, after extinguishing the lantern, Shui Sheng rushed back to his room. Stepping on the silver moonlight, walking through the secluded path, the night of Fangcun Mountain is exceptionally quiet, the starry sky is still bright tonight, and the vast stars will shine the whole sky. Dragged his tired body back to his cabin. The room was pitch black, and I didn't want to light the lights directly, so I took off my coat and threw it on the table, and fell asleep on the bed.

I don't know how long later, the faint moonlight spilled into the table in the room through the window, and the silver moonlight moistened the aquatic clothes, but after a while, a faint purple light emanated from the aquatic clothes, and the aquatic life was disturbed by the purple light in his heart.

The purple light under the moonlight was extraordinarily demonic, and Shui Sheng cautiously walked over and took off his clothes, and found that it was the light emitted by Qiankun in the bag, and when he opened it, it turned out to be the purple light emitted by the wordless book, and through the soft night light, rows of clearly visible handwriting appeared on the book.
