With the help of the old ape, Li Ye found a place where mushrooms grew luxuriantly on the grass on a hillside upstream of the Binghe River.

If there is water and sun in the Tianshan Mountains, mushrooms will grow.

He took Xiaobai and spent three days walking around the mushroom-covered hillside.

I picked an unknown number of baskets, and finally left a quarter of the mushrooms as seeds for the next year, and then returned to the cliff outside the cave.

This time, not only did they pick enough mushrooms for the next summer, but they were also lucky enough to dig up a lot of wild ginseng and yellow essence in the primeval forest not far from the hillside, which was an extremely unexpected harvest.

Taking advantage of the scorching autumn sun, he took Xiaobai to spread the mushrooms, wild ginseng, and yellow essence picked back on the stone slab of Yaping to dry.

From time to time, Xiaobai turned the half-dried food with his mouth, and whined in his mouth: I will finally not go hungry again this winter.

The old wolf, who had listened to the Buddhist scriptures for several months, took the wolves to catch a few wild boars for Li Ye and the little wolf, and the wolves worked together to drag these wild boars like a hill to the cliff flat.

After Xiaobai told the old wolf Li Ye's jerky that he had eaten it, the old wolf thought about how to give Li Ye and the little wolf the winter.

Li Ye asked the old ape to come over to help, and took Xiaobai with him, and he was busy for three days before he separated the wild boars, cut them into meat slices and dried them on the hemp rope around the shed.

The remaining skeleton and minced meat are grilled to comfort the old wolf and the old ape.

After cooking the broth for five days, the old wolf and his children and grandchildren drooled, and his heart was still a little white blessing, and he could enjoy the food by Li Ye's side every day.

After eating the last meal of broth, Li Ye looked at the old wolf and the old ape lying on the chair and said, "Next, in addition to going to the waterhole to practice, I will carve the complete Buddhist scriptures on the stone wall in this cave and leave them to your children and grandchildren, so that you can continue to receive the inheritance of the Dharma after you leave." ”

"In the coming days, when I recite the scriptures much slower than usual, you have to listen carefully, or let your enlightened children and grandchildren come to the cave to learn from me, and we will tell you the truths that you do not understand in your daily life. ”

"Because, once I leave the Tianshan Mountains, I have a long way to go, and I really don't know what day of the year I will have to return here. ”

"It's like when I left the hut and just wanted to look around and pick some herbs, I didn't expect to live here for a year or more. ”

The old ape and the old ape glanced at each other, nodded and said that he would go back and choose the smart ones among his children and grandchildren, and follow Li Ye to practice Buddhism. As for the fate, it depends on the respective practice.

As soon as night began to fall, Li Ye began to lecture on the rock lawn, from the beginning of the "Jizo Sutra", to the essence of the upper and lower volumes, as well as the supreme ambition of the Jizo Bodhisattva, one by one to the old apes and apes, old wolves and ruthless groups around the cliff.

It usually took him less than two hours to complete the recitation of the scriptures, but it took him more than three hours that night, and it was not until midnight that he completed all the recitations.

......

All things have spirits, and all living beings have the heart of Buddha. In the world of Suva, the god of the sea, the god of the river, the god of the river, the god of the tree, the god of the mountain, the god of the earth, the god of the river, the god of seedlings, the god of day, the god of night, the god of the sky, the god of food, the god of plants and trees, and so on, can protect you.

With a wave of his hand, Li Ye dispersed the beings who were kneeling on the ground and listening, and fell down on the bamboo chair, wanting to sleep.

Tonight, he realized what the old monk of the Big Buddha Temple had told him: "Preaching the scriptures is the most troublesome." ”

On weekdays, I don't feel tired from reciting the scriptures, but I am too tired to lecture today.

It seems that my practice of Buddhism is shallow after all, and I need to carefully explore the profound meaning of it in the future.

At this time, he had some understanding of the sentence in the "Lotus Sutra" left by the Void Breaking Monk: The husband descends to the spirit with the spirit, and there is no reason for enlightenment if he is not a great sage.

It seems that when the matter in the mountains is over, I should calm down and start practicing the Lotus Sutra, from which I will continue to pursue the boundless essence of Buddhism.

Looking at Xiaobai, who was lying on the bamboo chair and snoring, I don't know when this stubborn thing will be happy and wise, and he is no longer talking to himself alone.

The sky outside the shed, there is no moon, only a sky full of bright stars.

Lying on the bamboo chair, in the silent night, you can hear the sound of the waterfall entering the pool outside the woods, as well as the snoring of the big apes and small apes on the cliff on the cliff on the pool.

Counting the days, I came out of late spring, and now it is past early autumn.

I don't know if the gentleman on the top of the mountain has come back, and I don't know if Mu Mu and Xiaoqing at the bottom of the mountain have come to the wooden house to look for him, and I don't know if the child in his mother's womb is a younger brother or a younger sister.

I don't know if the young lady and Dongfang Yu'er thousands of miles away are wishful.

The Buddha said: If you don't forget, there will be an echo. But I haven't forgotten the people I care about for a day, why is there no response?

He was about to forget it, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he finally fell into a deep sleep.

......

In the early morning of the Tianshan Mountains, it is as fresh as the wooden houses on the side of the Fairy Peak, there are jubilant glaciers sandwiching the snow water of the Tianshan Mountains all the way down, and the mountain breeze carries the only fragrance of flowers in autumn to the shed on the stone lawn.

Li Ye held a bowl of white porridge, blew hot air, and drank it gently.

Xiaobai had a bitter face and a look of disgust.

"I will go to the Big Buddha Temple to practice in the future, and then I will go to the Fangcunshan Temple in the Western Regions to practice, where all the monks are vegetarians and have no meat to eat. I think you should stay in the Tianshan Mountains honestly, so that you don't have to suffer with me. ”

Li Ye looked at Xiaobai with a bitter face, knowing what it was thinking.

If it's ugly, you have to explain it in advance.

Xiaobai, who had a bitter face, whined twice, quickly jumped off the chair, and ran away with a bowl of porridge.

That means: I was wrong, I will listen to you in the future, and you want to drive me away?

After drinking the porridge, Li Ye lay on the bamboo chair and rested for half an hour, looking at the three poles in the sun, before carrying the Ruoshui black sword in his hand, out of the shed, and walked towards the pool under the waterfall.

Xiaobai saw it, Sa Huan jumped up from the chair, and ran away to Li Ye as fast as he could, this foodie was going to eat mixed fruits on the cliff on the waterhole.

Now Li Ye stood on the big stone in the cold pool, no longer wearing iron armor to protect himself, but just under the waterfall with his bare arms, he slashed the sword in his hand towards the turbulent glacier river flowing down again and again.

He no longer needs to deliberately run the "Phaseless Dharma Body" to protect his body, since the Haoran righteousness of the Void Breaking Monk fused with the Danyuan True Qi in his dantian, his own Danyuan True Qi has become Haoran True Qi.

It is purer than his own true qi and the heroic righteousness of the void breaking monk.

He has been thinking about what it means to be good as water these days, although he has figured out some truths. Not yet fully integrated comprehension.

Looking at the sword in his hand, he wondered if his clever swordsmanship was also like the water of this cold pond glacier, which could circulate all things in the Tianshan Mountains without colliding violently with all things.

Because it doesn't have its own normality, it can change the form it passes through according to the external objects blocked in front of it, and it doesn't follow the direction of the void in front of it, so that it can pass through.

Thinking of this, I suddenly realized in my heart that this was:

Water is good for all things and is not disputed! Whatever is evil to everyone, it is better than the Tao.

With joy in his heart, with the force in his hand, an incomparable sword qi slashed through the heavy water mist, sandwiched by the cold river water, and slashed towards the water of the cold pool.....

I saw a huge white mist, combined with boundless sword qi, on the cold pool straight into the sky, forming a dazzling landscape.

The old ape and Xiaobai, who were stunned to gnaw on the fruit, frightened a group of apes and apes who were frolicking.

......

Between the lightning flashes and fires, the entire waterhole is cut off, and the deep pool bottoms out.

Li Ye, who was stunned standing on the stone in the pool.

What stunned him was not the sword he had slashed out, but in the boundless mist, a cyan shadow rushed straight down and flew towards himself at the bottom of the pool.

......

Before he could come back to his senses, there was a "flutter", and a blue bird stood firmly on the shore by the pool.

In just an instant, the blue bird's wings flapped twice, turning into a little green in a cyan Luo skirt, with a pair of beautiful big eyes looking at him viciously.

"What do you want to do, take a broken sword and cut people!" Xiao Qing was furious and glared at Li Ye.

The boundless mist in the sky smashed down, and Li Ye, who was standing on the stone in a daze, rushed to the bottom of the pool.

In a matter of moments, the waterfall of the waterhole was back to its previous rush.

Li Ye, who got up from the bottom of the pool, didn't care about the pain in his body, climbed onto the shore, took Xiaoqing's hand, and laughed while crying: "Niannian, Niannian, there is finally an echo!hahaha!!"

Xiao Qing frightened Li Ye's actions, touched his head and said, "Are you stupid to practice swords? Who is Nian Nian? Who is the echo? Why are you slashing into the sky, if I don't practice enough, I would have let you be hacked to death with a sword." ”

Li Ye wiped his tears and smiled: "Nian Nian is Xiaoqing, and the echo is also Xiaoqing!Hahaha, I finally waited for you to come to me." ”

The smirking Li Ye took a hand towel to wipe off the water stains on his body, put on iron armor and clothes, put on shoes, and took Xiaoqing's little hand and ran to the shed on the waterfall.

Yes, it's running, Li Ye, who usually pays attention to cultivation, is running at this moment.

While running, he shouted to Ping: "Xiaobai, hurry up and ask your seniors for some fruits and come back." ”

The old ape and the little white on the cliff were stunned, and they said why this is.

He didn't dare to ask more, so the old ape told his children and grandchildren to fetch some fruit and went with Xiaobai to the cave above the waterfall.

When they arrived in the shed, Li Ye had already taken Xiaoqing's hand and sat on the chair and kept chattering.

One of her little hands kept rubbing Li Ye's face, nagging and saying, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how can I make myself as black as a monster in the mountains." ”

When Li Ye heard this, he also touched his face and said: "When I broke through the realm a few days ago, I let Lei slash twice, and it became like this. It is estimated that it will be better when I break through the realm to Yuanying next time. ”

"Let Mu Mu know about this, she will definitely not recognize you as a brother. Xiaoqing pouted.

"Don't tell the people under the mountain first, I'll tell them about this later, so as not to worry about it. ”

"Besides, is appearance important? When you were a blue bird, I didn't dislike you? Now you start to dislike me. Li Ye muttered back.

Outside the shed, the old ape led Xiaobai in.

Looking at the old ape and Xiaobai who came over, Li Ye introduced: "Senior, this is my good friend Xiaoqing. This is the old ape predecessor of the Tianshan Mountains, and many of my fates depend on him. This is my new buddy, Xiaobai. ”

The old ape looked at Xiao Qing, who looked like a porcelain doll, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao is suffocated here, every day he faces us beings in the Heavenly Mountain, and he misses you day and night." ”

Xiao Bai whined twice, looked at Xiao Qing's cute appearance, put the bamboo basket in his mouth on the bamboo chair, and let Li Qing eat the fruit.

Xiaoqing stretched out her hand, hugged Xiaobai, looked at Li Ye and said, "This little guy is so cute, can you give it to me and Mu Mu?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, thinking that this foodie knew how to play, and pouted and said, "Whatever, as long as it wants to, I'm fine." ”

Xiaobai lay in Xiaoqing's arms, lowered his head and licked Xiaoqing's hand, thinking in his heart: Is he with this cute blue bird, or continue to follow Li Ye.

It took half an hour for Li Ye to tell Xiaoqing why he was here, why he met Xiaobai and the old ape, and why he couldn't go back.

Then he fell backwards and lay down on the stone slab to rest and come back to his senses.

Xiaoqing then understood why she couldn't find Li Ye after looking for several months, it turned out that this guy was lost and couldn't find the direction to go back.

Taking a fruit from the bamboo basket and nibbling it, Xiaoqing nodded and said, "It seems that I have to thank you for this sword cut today, otherwise I would not be able to see you standing under the waterhole when I flew in the sky." ”

"I've been thinking about you day and night! Last night, I wondered why I hadn't seen you come to me for a long time, but I didn't expect you to come today. I'll roast you in a minute. Guaranteed to keep you satisfied. ”

Li Ye, who was lying on the li, muttered.

Xiaobai also raised his head and whined a few times.
