"Bang, bang—"

There was a sound like the beating of war drums in the silent mountains, at first, the sound was loud and rhythmic, and all the birds and beasts within a radius of nearly ten miles on the left were shaken and scattered, but after a while, the sound gradually became low and slow, but each strike, accompanied by an invisible force dispersed, as if the heavens, the earth and the mountains and forests were trembling slightly.

"Click—"

Looking at the shattered rocks in front of him, Lin Sumo frowned and was not satisfied, it has been half a year since he came to this world where the national arts are prosperous, but no matter how hard he tries, although he can clearly feel that his strength is constantly rising, his cultivation realm has always stagnated at the peak of Ming Jin, and he cannot advance an inch.

05：18：11：46：51

Lin Sumo looked at the skin on the inside of his left arm and a series of numbers that only he could see: "Five months, eighteen days, eleven hours, forty-six minutes, and fifty-one seconds", which is the remaining time of his stay in this world, and it may also be the remaining time of his life.

"Trial Mission: One year to achieve the realm of the Transformation Realm Grandmaster; The mission is completed, the trialist is qualified to enter the 'Heavens Arena', the mission fails, and the trialist is wiped out! ”

When he entered this world, the voice that appeared in Lin Sumo's mind and the string of time on his wrist were beating all the time, like a spell entwining around him, unable to break free, as if he had become Lin Sumo's inner demon.

"The demons in the heart are not pure, and the cultivation stops here!"

This is three months ago, when Lin Sumo's cultivation realm reached the peak of Mingjin, the little master Lingyue of Hanshan Temple gave him advice, although he knew where the root knot was, but everything was often easier said than done, and even Lin Sumo had resorted to Buddhism for the solution, chanting in front of the Buddha in the main hall for three days and three nights, but he still couldn't wipe out the nightmare in his heart.

The eight large water tanks in the kitchen of Hanshan Temple were filled, and in the eastern sky, a ray of morning sun slowly rose, and the sky brightened. On the side of the cold pool under the waterfall in the back mountain of Hanshan Temple, Lin Sumo sat cross-legged on a stone in the waterhole, frowning and looking at the waterfall flowing down, letting the water droplets splash on himself, wetting the monk's robe.

The practice of nearly three months seems to prove the words of Little Master Lingyue, but Lin Sumo knows that the demons in the heart are inexhaustible, as long as people live, the distracting thoughts in their hearts will rise and fall, and they are difficult to control, just like 'the heart is uncertain, and the mind is galloping', even if the heart is like stopping water, it is just an appearance.

Lin Sumo's inner demon is like the 'heart ape and horse', which cannot be exorcised, but can only be surrendered. But how do you surrender? Lin Sumo couldn't help but think of the monkey that had been suppressed by the Buddha at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain.

Surrendering the heart demon requires not only great perseverance and wisdom, but also great ability, at this moment, Lin Sumo's cultivation path is blocked by the heart demon, and he is always unable to surrender, maybe it's just that his ability is not enough.

In the world where Lin Sumo came, there was a master of national arts who said: The cultivation of national arts has three layers of truth, three steps of kung fu, and three kinds of practice methods, corresponding to this realm is the three realms of refining gods, refining bodies, and refining strength.

The realm of refining gods, refining and refining gas, refining gas and transforming gods, refining gods and returning to emptiness; The realm of refining the body, forging bones, changing tendons, and washing the marrow; The realm of refining strength, bright energy, dark energy, and chemical energy. In these three realms, refining the body is the foundation, refining strength, refining the gods are all based on this, and Lin Sumo stayed in Hanshan Temple for half a year, in order to hide a volume of "Forging Bone Sutra" in Hanshan Temple.

Little Master Lingyue seems to have known Lin Sumo's intentions for a long time, when Lin Sumo proposed to exchange a volume of "Lengyan King's Mantra" that this world did not have in exchange for "Forging Bone Sutra", Little Master Lingyue agreed without hesitation, Lin Sumo was able to reach the peak of Ming Jin in three months, and "Forging Bone Sutra" was indispensable.

After forging bones, there is Yi Jin, and in the world where he came, there is also a "Yi Jin Sutra" circulating in the world, but for thousands of years, no one seems to have successfully cultivated it, even if it is the creator of "Yi Jin Sutra", Bodhidharma Patriarch only exists in legends, which can't help but make Lin Sumo doubt the authenticity of this "Yi Jin Sutra", although Lin Sumo remembers every word in the "Yi Jin Sutra", but he does not dare to practice rashly.

As for the practice of refining the gods, Buddhism does not have the Taoist saying of 'refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning to emptiness', Buddhism calls it 'enlightenment', as for how to enlighten? What did you realize? Lin Sumo didn't know anything, in the words of Master Lingyue: Lin Sumo has no Buddha nature.

However, Buddhism has a clear and definite division of the realm of enlightenment, that is, the 'nine consciousnesses', the first six of which are the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, the seventh consciousness, the eighth consciousness, and the ninth consciousness, the amora consciousness.

Although Lin Sumo has not been able to enlighten the seventh consciousness, he has unremittingly exercised the first six consciousnesses with the secret method of Buddhism, and the strength of the six consciousnesses has far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Since the path to enlightenment of Buddhism is not passable, then Lin Sumo can only seek it from himself, fortunately, the world where Lin Sumo came is developed in information, and he knows the world without leaving home, plus the five thousand years of history has accumulated countless classics explored by his predecessors and ancestors in the spiritual field, whether it is successful or unsuccessful, it will become the accumulation of Lin Sumo's practice.

"Shhhh

Lin Sumo exhaled, his body shook slightly, and the wet monk's robe immediately steamed up with a layer of mist, which was blown by the mountain wind, and the smoke immediately dissipated, and the monk's robe became dry.

It seems to be a very casual action, but in fact, the control of the body and strength has reached the extreme, which is the sign of the completion of 'forging bones'.

However, Lin Sumo vaguely felt that this did not seem to be his limit, and there was still room for improvement in the strength of his body, but the speed of improvement was slow by conventional means, and it was expected to take at least three to five months, and what Lin Sumo lacked most now was time.

According to the experience of predecessors, practicing under the waterfall or in the sea can get twice the result with half the effort, but looking at the waterfall in front of him, which is only about ten meters high, Lin Sumo decisively gave up this idea, and the closest sea is the East China Sea in the east, which is more than 1,800 miles away.

"There is a copy of the Medicine Master's Wish Sutra in the Scripture Pavilion, and a prescription is recorded on the last page of the scripture book, which may be able to solve your current problem!"

Back at Hanshan Temple, Lin Sumo told Master Lingyue about his predicament with the idea of giving it a try, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest.

The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Hanshan Temple is not too big, Lin Sumo quickly found the "Medicine Master's Original Wish Sutra", and at the end of the scripture recorded a prescription called "Dragon and Tiger Violent Bone Pill", the prescription is composed of two main drugs and five auxiliary medicines, the main medicine is snake bone and tiger bone, the longer the year, the stronger the medicinal power, and the auxiliary medicine is the golden scale fruit, Fuyao wood, rootless water, star sand, and red flame root corresponding to the five elements.

This prescription is simple, but Lin Sumo saw that his head was big for a while, the main medicine was easy to say, and the snake bones and tiger bones that had taken a hundred years of effort could also be found, but these five auxiliary medicines were a bit mysterious, so Lin Sumo had to ask the little master Lingyue for advice again.

"The golden scale fruit is the thorny fruit, the fruit is covered with golden spikes like fish scales, so it is named, there are a lot of them on Donghua Peak, but if you use medicine, it is the best fruit on the thorny tree on the cliff wall east of Donghua Peak!" Little Master Lingyue said slowly.

Lin Sumo suddenly realized, knowing that he was thinking too much, and hurriedly asked, "What about Fuyaomu?" ”

Lingyue Little Master said: "The 10,000-year-old tree on Yuhua Peak, take the highest branch is the Fuyao Tree!" When taking wood, you can't cut down the gold, otherwise the medicinal properties will be greatly damaged! ”

Lin Sumo nodded and asked, "Is that rootless water just water that comes from the sky and doesn't stick to dust and mud?" ”

Little Master Lingyue bowed slightly, and simply said the shape and origin of the remaining medicines, and said: "Yes, but not all rootless water can be used in medicine, and it must be used as a container for the Guanyin lotus that blooms for the first time in the cold pool of Beishan, and the rootless water received in Chen Shi has the best medicinal effect." As for the star sand, it is a kind of sand stone in Xihua Peak, hidden in the gangyan, similar to rice grains, crystal clear, like stars, so it is named; The red flame root is produced under the south peak, the shape is similar to the yellow essence, the whole body is red, like a flame, so it is named the red flame root! There is a Yan Valley at the southern foot of Zhongnan Peak, which is rich in red Yan root, and it is said that there is a thousand-year-old root among them, and the medicinal properties are excellent. ”

The five kinds of auxiliary medicines are all in this Shouyang Mountain Range, not far from Hanshan Temple, Lin Sumo spent three days to collect the Golden Scale Fruit, Fuyao Wood, Xingchen Sand, and Chiyan Root, and hunted a giant python with a single horn and an adult giant tiger in the mountain, leaving only rootless water but waiting for the opportunity.

Fortunately, Lin Sumo's luck seems to be good, five days later, a white Guanyin lotus in the cold pool of Beishan bloomed in the first rays of light, and the mountain was rainy, after the clouds rose, the cold mountain wind blew, and it rained lightly.

Put all the main drugs and auxiliary drugs into the Ding and boil them for seven days and seven nights without interruption, 'Dragon and Tiger Bone Pill' Fang Cheng, said to be a pill, but in fact it is a black mud paste, just apply this mud paste evenly on the body, and then hit the whole body with external force, so that the medicinal power is dispersed into the body, infiltrate the bones, take three days as a cycle, after nine cycles, the bone can be forged.

In the next month, Lin Sumo was boiling medicine while tempering and forging bones, and it was obvious that the strength of his body was improving by leaps and bounds, and his strength had increased by more than ten times compared to before.

"Bang!"

With a dull explosion, a two-meter-high boulder in front of Lin Sumo turned into powdery gravel, compared to the peak of Ming Jin a month ago, at this moment, Lin Sumo's strength is much stronger, although it is still the realm of Ming Jin, but Lin Sumo is confident that even in the face of the peak of dark energy, he has the power to fight.

In the early morning, the sound of chanting in the main hall was accompanied by the melodious sound of the bell chime and the wooden fish, outside the Hanshan Temple, Lin Sumo, who had changed into a monk's robe, stood quietly for a moment and bowed in the direction of the main hall, and then turned around and went down the mountain.

At the same moment, in the main hall, the little master Lingyue, who was closing his eyes and chanting, suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at the outside of the main hall, and smiled slightly, and then the entire Hanshan Temple seemed to be shrouded in a mist, gradually blurred, until it finally disappeared, and the original location of the Hanshan Temple only left a piece of rubble and miscellaneous trees, if you look carefully, you may be able to see some traces of ruins and broken walls in this mess of stones and trees.
