When the sun on the mountain shone into the entrance of the cave, Li Ye woke up from his meditation.

He looked at the posture of his stumbling posture and felt very strange, every time he finished reciting the sutra, he fell asleep upside down and slept until dawn.

Since he had Xiaobai, he has slept soundly at night, and he rarely even dreams.

Why did it change today, shaking his head and not thinking about it for the time being.

Stretching his hands and feet, he got up from the ground and walked out of the cave, where a plate of wild fruits, a hare, and a pheasant were placed on the ground. Li Ye smiled and walked towards the woods outside the cave.

Outside the woods, like the woods of the Fairy Peak cave, there is also a flat land that allows him to use the Tiger Arhat Fist to his heart's content.

After playing the Fuhu Arhat Fist, which had not been practiced for many days, he sweated all over and walked to the river outside the woods, and Xiaobai followed behind him with his tail wagging his tail.

After washing, I found a stone by the river to sharpen the knife on my body, looked at Xiaobai who was playing joy by the water, and said: "Xiaobai, you are a little different today, have you grown up a little, and even your hair has become beautiful." ”

Xiaobai looked at him, screamed twice, and continued to play by the water, thinking about how to catch the small fish swimming around the river.

After eating the fruit sent by the old ape as breakfast, Li Ye led Xiaobai into the woods and began to cut down trees, since he promised the old ape to stay here for a year, he wanted to build a wooden shed in front of the cave like Mr. had done before.

The house won't work, and it's still okay to build a wooden shed. You don't have to nest in a cave on a windy or rainy day.

Now that you have entered the Tao, you only need to practice slowly, and you don't need to sit in boring dry meditation like a void monk.

He wants to practice while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Tianshan Mountains.

The movement of cutting down trees was too loud, which alarmed the old ape under the waterfall, and led a few children and grandchildren up to watch the excitement.

Seeing Li Ye dragging the cedars to the cave, he hurriedly ordered the little apes to help, and asked, "Little Mr. cut down trees early in the morning, why is this?"

Li Ye replied to him while dragging the tree: "Since I have agreed to you to practice here for a year, I naturally want to build a shed outside the cave, summer is coming, and there is a place to stay in the sun, wind and rain." ”

The old ape asked his children and grandchildren to drag the cedar in Li Ye's hand to the platform outside the cave, and Li Ye turned around and went back to the woods to continue chopping.

He had to cut down four cedars. Xiao Bai watched the apes come to help, and screamed happily, spreading joy around Li Ye and the old ape.

After cutting enough cedars, Li Ye began to peel the bark on the platform, and the old ape sat on the stone on the side and looked at him, and asked ignorantly, "What does the little gentleman want to do with these barks?"

"The bark of the tree is oily, and it can be used as a roof and to protect the hut from the wind and rain. Li Ye skillfully used the knife in his hand.

"Senior, I took a look at the lack of bamboo around here, can you trouble your children and grandchildren, find me some bamboo, one is to build a shed roof, the other is to make two reclining chairs. So you can lie down and chat when you come. ”

Li Ye looked at him and asked cautiously.

The old ape nodded, called the children and grandchildren around him to order, and with a squeak, several tall apes roared away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The old ape looked at Li Ye, who was seriously peeling the bark, thought for a while and said, "The old man was very sad and indignant when he saw you yesterday, and I don't want your expression today to be as depressed as yesterday." ”

Li Ye looked at Li Yu with a smile and said softly: "Thank you seniors, the appearance of the younger generation's body has changed due to the lightning strike, which made me understand some truths at night and was able to enter the Tao, and I have to thank this thunderstorm." ”

The old ape froze and looked at him speechless.

Looking at the old ape in a daze, Li Ye continued: "Just like the predecessors, cultivating for a hundred years is nothing more than thinking that one day I will attain the Tao and be able to abandon this physical body and be able to transform into a void. ”

In the view of the younger generation, even if the predecessors do not incarnate the form, they can attain the Tao, and the Dharma says: There is no self, no one, no beings, and no longevity, and this is the truth.

After I broke through the realm and was struck by lightning yesterday, I was just sad that I was in a hurry to think that my handsome appearance had become black. ”

"Later, when I was reciting the scriptures in the cave, I thought that if I hadn't been blackened by the thunder tribulation, I wouldn't have been able to enter the Tao in this life?

"Boom", like thunder flew over his ears, and the old ape fell on the bluestone slab, and the old tears were all over the place.

After a while, the old ape sat up straight and kowtowed respectfully to Li Ye.

Said solemnly: "Mr. Xiao is indeed the reincarnation of the true Buddha, please don't wake up the person in the dream." The old ape always thought that he had to take off this wild skin to get the Tao, but it turned out that he was in love. ”

"Attachment is persistence, how to attain the Tao of perseverance? The old ape met Mr. Xiao in the mountains, it is really a blessing for three lives!"

Li Ye hurriedly returned the salute, looked at the old ape and said, "If the seniors can understand this truth, then the day of enlightenment is not far away." The younger generation should also thank the seniors, because of the opportunity of the seniors, Li Ye had to enter the Jindan in one day and enter the Tao in one night. These are not the fates that cultivators have been searching for all their lives. ”

"That's also because Mr. Xiao has a compassionate heart and is willing to save sentient beings like us in the mountains and wilderness, so there are these fates that follow. ”

The old ape shook his head and looked at the sky and sighed.

A conversation with Li Ye was an initiation, allowing him to enter the Tao at one time.

"It turns out that the old ape was wrong before, everything in the world has a spirit, and there is a reason to enter the Tao, why do you have to take off this wild skin so hard......?

There is a sequence of hearing the Tao, and there is no time to get the Tao. The old ape has been cultivating for many years and has not heard the Tao, but once he hears the Tao, he will enter the Tao like Li Ye.

It's like an urn of wine that has been brewed for hundreds of years, and the world has never tasted its fragrance. Once someone patted the mouth of the urn, the aroma of wine that has been aged for a hundred years will naturally drift out of the urn.

The old ape, sitting upright, closed his eyes, and there was a Buddha light rising faintly on its body.

After listening to the Buddhist scriptures for a few nights, he got Li Ye's preaching at this time, so that he could realize the Tao once and then step into the supreme wonderland.

Looking at the appearance of the old ape, Li Ye stopped what he was doing, and gently recited the "Dizang Sutra" in his mouth to pray for the old ape.

He didn't expect that today's wooden shed had not yet begun to be built, and the old ape had already heard the Tao and realized the Tao and re-entered the Tao.

It was as if it had been practicing for a thousand years, just waiting for Li Ye to appear.

And Li Ye, who was practicing penance in the Tianshan Mountains, also saved decades or hundreds of years of penance because of the fate of the old ape.

Everything in the world, a drink and a peck, has its own fate.

Five hundred years ago, the cause of each planted reaped the fruits of the present.

At the moment, Li Ye and the old ape are happy to see each other, and they have each gained the kindness and good karma that the Buddha said.

Li Ye recited the Buddhist scriptures unhurriedly, and the Buddha light on the old ape's body gradually flourished, and at this moment, the yellow hair around its body became golden and shiny.

The structure of his body is also undergoing tremendous changes, and he will be like Mu Mu's master Bai Susu, who is about to step into the void......

After an hour like this, the old ape slowly opened his eyes, and the Buddha light on his body gradually dissipated.

Li Ye also stopped chanting, looked at the old ape and smiled: "Congratulations to the seniors for finally getting out of the ordinary and entering the supreme avenue." ”

At this time, the old ape's whole body was shaking with excitement, and tears fell from his sunken eyes again.

stepped forward and stretched out his broad hand to grasp Li Ye's little hand, and muttered: "Thank you for your kindness, if you have the opportunity to repay Mr. Xiao today's kindness in the future." ”

Li Ye was happy for the old ape, and replied brightly: "The wish of the predecessors for a hundred years has finally come true, congratulations and gratification." Now you only need to sense the rules of heaven and earth, and then find a chance to survive the last calamity, and then you can break through the void and leave this world. ”

"I met a senior before, and just like my predecessor, in the end, my master accompanied her to the top of the Tianshan Mountains to cross the tribulation, if the senior sensed the rules of heaven and earth one day, he could go to the top of the mountain to cross the tribulation. ”

The old ape's tower-like body stood up, raised his fists, and roared loudly towards the Tianshan Mountain for a few days, venting the joy and sorrow in his heart.

After a moment, he stopped his voice and turned back to sit on the ground again.

looked at Li Ye and said: "There is no hurry to cross the tribulation, since I have entered the Dao, I have to accompany these children and grandchildren here more, teach them more truths, and let them understand the principles of cultivation in the future, so as not to follow my old path again." ”

Xiaobai beside him has been lying on the ground listening to Li Ye's chanting, watching the old ape's enlightenment and initiation.

In fact, its fate is the deepest, it first met Li Ye after being injured, and then followed Li Ye's side to listen to the scriptures night and night, bathed in the supreme Buddha light, plus today to witness the old ape enter the Tao, so that it understood its future cultivation path early.

whined twice, opened his mouth and bit the corner of Li Ye's clothes, which means that you understand.

Li Ye stretched out his hand and touched its head and said, "You are a foodie, you know how to eat." Today, in order to celebrate the entry of our predecessors, we cook a pot of rice to eat. ”

At that moment, he beckoned Xiaobai to follow him and run to the river, silently reciting the twelve-character mantra as he ran, and gently turning the ring on his left finger.

When he ran to the river, an iron pot and a bag of rice had already appeared in his hand, Li Ye carefully scooped up rice in the river, washed the pot, let Xiaobai bite the pot, picked up a few big stones from the river, turned around and went to the cave.

He built a stove, burned the cut cedar branches, set up an iron pot and began to cook rice. He took out the baggage from the ring, took out the jerky from it, tore it up and threw it into the pot, and he wanted to cook a pot of meat and rice that he had not eaten for a long time.

Looking at the old ape, Li Ye smiled and said, "Senior, today we have a meal of rice in the world, congratulations on your enlightenment and initiation." ”

The old ape nodded in gratitude.

Taking advantage of the cooking effort, one man and one ape worked together to erect the four cedar tree poles that Li Ye had peeled, closed the tenons, and in a moment the frame of a wooden shed stood up against the hole.

Li Ye said with a smile: "Next, I will slowly do the roof and eaves repair, and when your children and grandchildren come back with bamboo, I will spend a few more days." ”

"In the days to come, if you are bored, you will come up and chat with the juniors, cut the exercises, and enjoy the last year in the Tianshan Mountains. ”

Li Ye raised his head, thinking that the gentleman who accompanied Bai Susu to the top of the mountain had been gone for a few months, and he should come back after counting the days.

I don't know if he will be anxious if he will not be able to see him when he returns to the wooden house? Whether he will go down the mountain to ask Li Hongsleeve for news about himself, or whether he will go over the mountains and mountains to find himself who has lost his way.

The stone stove was built up, the fat in the cedar branches was burning gently, and the pot began to come out of the pot with the fragrance of rice and dried meat, which aroused the appetite of Xiaobai and the old ape, who had never eaten the food of the world.

One old and one young, circled around the pot, waiting for Li Ye to give the order to eat.

The summer day in the Tianshan Mountains is already a little hot, lazily shining on the stone platform outside the cave.

In the distance, you can already hear the cicadas chirping softly as they have just climbed the trees and have not yet grown wings.
