Volume 1 The Orchid of the Mountains Chapter 37 That year I carved scriptures in the mountains
In the Tianshan Mountains in autumn, a thick fog had begun to rise in the early morning, and Mr. and Li Ye got up early to cook porridge.
In the thick fog, he cut down a lot of bamboo, dragged it back to the cliff platform outside the cave, and made a fire to roast the cut bamboo slices to make a stool.
While roasting, the gentleman said, "Can you memorize the Jizo Sutra in its entirety?"
Li Ye nodded and said, "It's word for word, you can memorize it." ”
The gentleman nodded and said, "Don't you want to practice swords?" From now on, you can ignore these trivial matters and concentrate on training. ”
Looking at Li Ye's puzzled look, Mr. bent the bamboo slice in his hand.
said: "Use the sword in your hand, on the wall of this stone cliff, carve down the "Dizang Sutra" completely, every stroke, every word, must be the same depth, the same size, the same font. ”
"I'll make you a bamboo frame first, you can't reach the high stone wall, so climb up the shelf to carve, first start carving from the stone wall next to the ground. ”
When Li Ye heard this, he froze and asked, "Sir, what does this scripture have to do with sword training?"
Mr. put down the bamboo in his hand, looked at Li Ye with a confused look, and said patiently: "The same reason as your cultivation of the "Phaseless Dharma Body", your Dharma Body must be cultivated to the point where there is no phase, and there is no defect. ”
"Is there a relationship between the two?" Li Ye looked at Mr. with some puzzlement.
The gentleman ignored him, but continued to teach and said: "Just like eating and drinking, there is also a certain skill in drawing a sword. ”
"And a good swordsman, the sword is a part of his body. Think about the strength of each sword you swing is the same, and the moves are all moves with and without moves. A swordsman without flaws, who can defeat you?"
After saying this, the gentleman continued to lower his head and roast the bamboo slices in his hand, bending them gently.
After listening to Mr. Li's words, Li Ye lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
Realizing this, he stood up, took out his long sword, and walked out of the wooden house.
Standing on the stone platform near the edge of the cliff, looking at the distant peaks, Li Ye condensed his true qi, and slowly swung out the iron sword in his hand, as if this sword weighed a thousand catties, and slowly slashed out a sword towards the pine forest outside the cliff without any moves.
This sword, there is no white light, no sword shadow, and no sound, just an ordinary sword.
After condensing the true qi of his whole body and cutting out this sword, Li Shen didn't look at it, turned around, and walked back to the entrance of the cave, where he wanted to carve the first word of the scripture on the stone wall.
The gentleman also got up, walked to the edge of the cliff, and looked in the direction where Li Ye had slashed out a sword.
I saw that a cedar tree ten zhang away slowly fell down and was cut off by Li Ye's sword at the waist.
Mr. looked at Li Ye like a monster, walked behind Ye, looked at him holding a sword, suddenly laughed angrily, hit Li Ye's hand with the bamboo branch in his hand, and said, "Are you holding a sword?"
Li Ye looked at Mr. with a bitter face, and said, "Sir, this is not good." It's not a carving knife that carves jade, but this sword can't be used to carve scriptures on this stone wall. ”
The gentleman looked at Li Ye with a disgusted expression and said, "If this is a good moment, do you still want to use this to practice swords?"
After speaking, he pressed the sword in Li Ye's hand, luck was in his arm, the tip of the sword waved, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a line of words was carved on the smooth stone wall: Supreme Profound Subtle Method.
Mr. carved the first sentence of the opening scripture, threw the sword to Li Ye, and said: "Condense the true qi, run the "Phaseless Law Body", condense the true qi of the body into a point, gather it at the tip of the sword, control the arm, and take your time." ”
Li Ye nodded, looked at Mr., and said inexplicably: "Sir, just now I seem to have broken through the second layer of the "Phaseless Law Body", and now I can practice the third layer. ”
Mr. was still thinking about the sword that Li Ye had just slashed out of, and when he heard him say this, he suddenly understood.
"Let's practice swordsmanship first, rest for a few days, let's go collect medicine, there are a lot of herbs on the Tianshan Mountain, enough for you to temper your body." ”
After speaking, he put his hands behind his back and did not look back, and went to weave his bamboo chair in front of the wooden house.
Li Ye held the sword and wanted to carve words on the stone wall, but he couldn't use his strength, and in a hurry, he used all his strength, and only carved a shallow stroke on the stone wall, which was really ugly.
I tried several times, but I couldn't find a way to concentrate on the tip of the sword, and if I couldn't concentrate on one point, I couldn't carve the strokes I wanted on the stone wall.
In a fit of rage, he threw his sword on the ground, turned around, ran outside the wooden house, and luckily punched, and began to hit his "Fuhu Arhat Fist".
Quietly inhaling a breath, he lay on his back on the ground, his forearms flexed so that his fists were facing up, his feet were on the ground, and his legs were straight.
Then the force is carried on the two elbows, the force touches the ground, so that the whole body is lifted, except for the elbows and plantar two parts on the ground, the rest are volleyed, and when the cooking is raised, it will be calmed down for a while......
After a while, a whirlwind blew on the edge of the stone cliff, followed by Li Ye's fist, and the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves around him, like a huge silkworm cocoon, and there was also a white cyclone rotating overhead, faster and bigger......
Seeing Li Ye's energetic practice, the gentleman simply made room for him, hugged the roasted bamboo, and went into the wooden house to weave his chaise long. Xindao: Let you practice swordsmanship, but you will give me a fist.
With the blessing of the third layer of "Phaseless Law Body", Li Ye's Arhat punches are more ferocious than Chang Ri, and he uses his feet and hands hard, but in his heart he thinks about the truth that Mr. said to concentrate on a point.
Hit again, I can't find a clue in my heart, and then I started the gesture of the second boxing method, and the strength of the punch found out has not been reduced at all, more and more condensed, and when I hit it for the third time, the palm of my hand is hot, and suddenly there is a hot air that gathers along the three yang meridians of my hand, as if it wants to condense like silk, and rush to the fist.
Li Ye, who was fighting vigorously, was like a whirlwind, rushing towards the edge of the upper pine forest on the edge of the cliff, and a fierce tiger descended the mountain with a move, and hit a cedar with the thickness of a man with a punch.
I saw that where the fist landed, the cedar shook loudly, as if it was about to be cut off. The loud sound startled the birds in the forest to the sky, and they looked at Li Ye with a surprised face, wondering if the owner who fed the rice for himself was crazy?
The strength of his fist was exhausted, and Li Ye also restrained his fist momentum and stopped. Looking at Cedar, who had been punched by himself, Li Ye was stunned. I saw that the cedar was still standing there intact, but where Li Ye's fist was focused, he actually punched a hole in the tree.
The size of the tree hole was about the same as Li Ye's fist, and not far from the tree, there was a place of tree chips, as if to prove the power of the punch just now.
Hearing a loud noise, the gentleman stopped knitting in his hand and walked out.
Looking at Li Ye in a daze under the cedar, Mr. approached and stroked the tree hole on the cedar, laughed, and said, "Not bad, you have created two miracles today, comprehend it well, maybe you will be able to condense a little." ”
After speaking, he patted Li Ye on the shoulder, and Mr. naturally went back to the house to weave his recliner.
If Li Ye's Fuhu Arhat Fist practiced in the Big Buddha Temple was entered the door, it was only like a reckless fist, only strength and moves, but not fatal.
Only the condensation of true qi just now, the concentration of the three yang meridians in the hand, and the punch through the cedars, are the real power of the Fuhu Arhat Fist.
After thinking for a while under the tree, Li Ye returned to the stone wall at the edge of the cave, picked up the long sword, recalled the feeling of gathering the fist just now, and began to run the "Phaseless Body Method" and the heart method of the Fuhu Arhat Fist, and slowly began to carve on the ground.
Since you can't carve words on the stone wall in your own practice, you should practice on the ground first.
It is easier to engrave words on the ground with downward force than on the stone wall, and after a while, he will carve a line crookedly according to the words of Mr. on the stone wall: Supreme Profound and Subtle Method.
Looking left and right, it was really ugly, sighed, dropped the sword, and went back to the wooden house to see the gentleman weaving a bamboo chair.
Looking at the gentleman's work for a while, a chaise longue had been woven into a frame, and a pair of hands skillfully broke the bamboo strips, roasted them on the fire, and intertwined them, thinking that in two days they could lie here and watch the moon.
After watching for a while, I got up with the bucket and went to the cave to fetch water, and after practicing for a long time, Mr. and I were already too thirsty, so we had to make tea to quench our thirst.
When Li Ye came back from fetching water, Mr. had already put down the bamboo work in his hand, set up a copper kettle on the fire, took the bucket, added it to the pot, Li Ye took out the tea leaves and cups, and put them on the stone platform.
The fire of the cedar was very strong, and the water boiled in a few moments.
After carrying the copper kettle, Li Ye began to warm the kettle, wash the tea, wash the cup, and poured steaming tea for Mr. and himself while the aroma was not dispersed.
In autumn, the Tianshan Mountains are already very cool, and it is indeed a rare treat to be able to drink a cup of hot tea.
Taking the teacup, the gentleman took the teacup, blew on it, and tasted it shallowly. Mr. said that the first sip of tea must not be rushed.
Otherwise, it is a cow chewing peonies, one is not the taste of tea, and the other is that the volume of soup hurts one's mouth.
Li Ye nodded, since the first day he learned the tea ceremony with his husband, this is how he drank tea.
After a cup of tea, Mr. looked at Li Ye and said, "The Phaseless Law Body has been cultivated to the third layer, how do you feel?"
When Li Ye heard this, he rolled up his sleeves, and saw that his little arm was already glowing with a faint metallic luster, so he took out the knife on his body and gently cut it on it, only to see that the skin was not broken, the blood was not shed, and there was only a shallow white mark.
With his mouth wide open, he stared blankly at Mr.
"Yes, it's already difficult to hurt foreign objects, and after you practice, even the King Kong of Buddhism is not bad, and it is not as good as you. The gentleman nodded approvingly.
Picking up the copper kettle and adding hot water to the purple clay pot, Li Ye was puzzled and said, "Sir, why is the "Phaseless Dharma Body" higher than the Buddha Sect's Vajra Body?"
The gentleman picked up the purple clay pot, added tea to the cups of the two, and said softly: "King Kong does not damage the body, but blindly emphasizes the rigidity and fierceness, and the physical body cannot be broken; ”
"Because of this truth, even the monks of Fangcun Mountain are very few who can cultivate, you practice hard and strive for the perfection of your cultivation. I'm looking forward to what it will be like when your practice is complete. ”
Picking up the teacup, Li Ye nodded and said, "Sir, don't worry, I will be able to succeed in my cultivation." ”
The gentleman looked at him and said, "You have spent so much effort and found a lot of medicinal materials for you as a teacher, but this is a foreign object in the end, and in the end it depends on your own efforts." ”
"Even if you practice to the fifth level, if you don't go to Fangcun Mountain to find the back fourfold exercises, you will still give up halfway, you have to remember this. The gentleman continued.
Li Ye nodded and said, "Sir, don't worry, I must go to that Fangcun Mountain, no matter how difficult it is, I will find the four-layer exercises behind." ”
"That's great! The gentleman smiled faintly.
