Spring goes to autumn, the leaves fall and the vines wither and the wind is bleak.

Outside the temple, the vines on the cliff have long since fallen, and only the bare vines are left.

A young monk wearing a gray monk's hat and shabby robes is leaning on a cliff face, sometimes attacking, sometimes dodging the attack of a short, fierce and furious white ape.

"Hahaha, it's good to come!"

Li Xiuyuan let go of the withered vine and met the iron fist of the white ape.

Fists and feet hit each other, the bodies were staggered, and the two sides of the battle on the cliff tried their best to fight, and the fight was hearty.

"Hahaha, happy, come again!" Li Xiuyuan's face and monk's robe were covered with dust, but his whole body was full of joy.

"Hmph, you'll be happier in a moment. Yuan Hong sneered and attacked.

"Bang bang", a man and an ape hit each other several times on the cliff, but they couldn't win, so they had to fly back, and the two sides fought again.

Sparks began to burst in the eyes of Li Xiuyuan and Yuan Hong, and they both knew that there was only one chance to make a move.

After testing each other for so long, both sides thought that they had already explored each other's strength, and the next move would determine the winner and loser, and there would only be one winner among them.

With a bang, the two figures collided violently.

Yuan Hong punched Li Xiuyuan in the chest, and Li Xiuyuan kicked Yuan Hong in the left knee with a diagonal kick.

The white ape in his body struck with all his strength, Li Xiuyuan spurted blood from his mouth, and his body bounced off the cliff and fell towards the cliff. I saw his monk's robe tucked away, his feet between his feet, and he borrowed strength into the void, and his body suddenly turned around, and I saw him grasp a withered vine with his left hand, and his right hand bent his fingers into claws, and also grabbed towards the stone wall, five fingers embedded in the stone wall, and his figure was finally stabilized on the cliff.

Yuan Hong received a kick from Li Xiuyuan, and was hitting the door of its cover at the moment, and his whole body strength was dissipated, and it screamed and fell down.

A green vine flew out of Li Xiuyuan's waist and wrapped around Yuan Hong's body, stopping its falling, and the green vine flicked the white ape on the cliff.

"Impossible, it's only been half a year, how can your physical strength become so strong? And the cover door of the "Wishful Treasure Book" is changing every moment, even I need to perceive it carefully to find it, it is impossible to find it with your cultivation?"

Yuan Hong was lying in a rock nest in shock, still unable to believe in his heart that this young monk, who was still vulnerable in front of him half a year ago, would now cultivate his physical body to such an extent.

Even though he watched him take spiritual wine and refine his body every day, endure the impact of cold springs at the bottom of the cliff, climb the stone cliffs in the mountains, and cultivate for thousands of miles in a day.

However, I am also improving, since I cultivated the "Wishful Treasure Book", the mana left in my body before the fall of my parents has been refined and absorbed, and the stagnant meridians in my body have also been dissolved by Ruyi True Qi, and my strength has been several times stronger than half a year ago, and I still lost to him.

won the battle with the white ape, Li Xiuyuan's heart was also embarrassed, his efforts in the past half a year were really not in vain.

In the past six months, Li Xiuyuan has taken the monkey wine and spiritual fruit brought by the white ape every day, and at night, he has endured the impact of the cold spring of the waterfall at the bottom of the cliff, and at sunrise the next day, he will climb the cliff and climb to the top of the mountain in one go, and then practice the magic and secret skills of Zen Master Huili in the Zhinian Nunnery during the day, every day.

At first, his body could not withstand the cold spring, and he could not bear the impact of the waterfall, but he could not hold on in less than half an hour, and it took several hours to climb the cliff wall, usually from sunrise to the top of the cliff until noon.

As long as he persevered every day, it became smoother and smoother, and by the third month, the cold spring waterfall could no longer shake his body for a moment, and it only took an hour to climb from the bottom of the cliff to the top of the cliff.

In the next three months, he began to practice Buddhism boxing in the cold spring, and started a real battle with the white ape on the stone cliff.

At first, he was humiliated by the white ape at will, and he had to rely on the help of the vine demon to barely stabilize his body, and then he was gradually able to fight with the white ape.

After half a year of cultivation, Li Xiuyuan has grown a lot taller, his body is more refined, his face has gradually faded from his youthfulness, and his temperament is more calm and mature than before, as if he is experiencing a transformation every moment.

"Hehe, second brother, don't be discouraged, my physical strength has advanced for another reason, as long as you cultivate that "Wishful Treasure Book" well, your future achievements may not lose to me. ”

Li Xiuyuan smiled indifferently, and was equally shocked by the strength of the white ape in his heart.

Today's Yuan Hong's strength is already different from the white ape half a year ago.

In fact, Li Xiuyuan did not lie, his strength can improve so quickly in half a year, there is indeed another reason.

He cheated.

After he spent three months practicing Zen Master Huili's exercises to a small level, the memories of the remaining dragon-descending Arhats began to stir.

Two exercises appeared in his mind.

A strange space-time technique "Ten Directions Fantasy World" and a dragon descending Arhat majored in "Arhat Golden Body".

In the Ten Directions Illusion Realm, ten days of cultivation in it, only one day has passed in the outside world, and three months is two and a half years.

The white ape has been cultivating for half a year, and Li Xiuyuan has been cultivating for nearly three years, and Li Xiuyuan's qualifications and cultivation techniques are better than Yuan Hong's, which naturally makes up for the gap between them before.

He didn't know that Yuan Hong and him were also cheating, and the true qi derived from the "Wishful Treasure Book" refined the mana that the white ape's parents poured into the white ape's body, so its strength could improve by leaps and bounds.

Li Xiuyuan flew up and landed on the cliff, and Yuan Hong also flew out of the stone wall to follow behind Li Xiuyuan.

"Half a year has arrived, and I am a little reluctant to leave here suddenly. Li Xiuyuan sighed as he walked outside the nunnery.

"Yes, I can forget the hatred for a while, and I don't have to think about the disturbances of the outside world, and I have lived here very happily in the past six months. Yuan Hong sighed.

"Big brother, take care of yourself, if the monks in the temple see me, I'm afraid it's not good, I'll go back to the Huping Cave first. Yuan Hong saw from afar that there was already movement on the side of Lingyin Temple.

"Well, you go back to the cave first, and I should be able to go over to see you in a while. Li Xiuyuan said earnestly: "You go back to the cave, if the snake demon comes to take the scriptures, you don't have to fight it to the death, just give it to it." Although your strength has greatly improved, the other party is the Jindan Demon King, even if you and my brothers join forces, we will not be able to beat the other party, and you have cultivated the "Wishful Treasure Book", you will definitely be able to crown the demons in the future, and you don't have to compete with it for a while. ”

"Big brother, you're here again, the forbearance technique you said is not my way. "Wishful Treasure Book" is also about courage and diligence, quick revenge, however, I am not stupid, if I can't beat her, I will definitely come to the eldest brother for help, who told you to accept me as a little brother?" Yuan Hong waved his hand and climbed along the cliff towards Feilai Peak.

Looking at Yuan Hong's back, Li Xiuyuan's heart was full of sighs.

After getting along with the white ape for half a year, no matter how sincere he was when he worshipped, he can be regarded as having feelings now, and he believes that Yuan Hong is also for him.

There was a rumbling sound, and the plank road between Lingyin Temple and Zhinian Nunnery was reconnected, and there was a burst of smoke and dust on the side of the cliff.

Li Xiuyuan turned around and glanced at Zhinian Nunnery, no longer nostalgic, and walked along the plank road towards Lingyin Temple.

A gray broken monk's hat, a gray broken monk's robe, a string of faded prayer beads around his neck, a gray silk cloth belt made of a vine demon around his waist, a pair of open-toed monk shoes under his feet, and a cracked banana fan in his hand.

"The shoes are broken, the hat is broken, the robe on the body is broken, you laugh at me, he laughs at me, a fan is broken, there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south......"

Dao Ji shook the fan in his hand and walked over unkempt, stunned the monk Guangliang and the two law enforcement monks who were waiting in the back mountain.

"This is Daoji? Autumn is cold in single clothes, and he still uses a broken fan in his hand to fan the wind, isn't it upside down?"

"Alas, although Senior Brother Daoji behaved crazy as soon as he entered the temple, his appearance was the same as before he became a monk, like a young man, how could he have fallen to such a state now?"

"Buddhism is vast, how can it not be a monk? Now that Daoji has become a Jidian, this time it really responds to the abbot's words. ”

"Senior Brother Guangliang, what should we do? Senior Brother Daoji is the abbot's descendant disciple, and now that he has become like this, will the abbot punish us?" the two law enforcement monks looked at the two law enforcement monks who were worried together.

The monk Guangliang is about forty, wearing a dark brown monk's robe, tall, majestic, and looks righteous and awe-inspiring.

I only heard Guangliang say: "What are you panicking, we are all acting according to the precepts of Buddhism, and there is no transgression, even if the Daoji junior brother really becomes a monk, what do we have to do? When you take him to see the abbot, everything is truthful." ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Guangliang!" the two law enforcement monks were slightly relieved.

Li Xiuyuan walked up to the three of them and gave a Buddha salute with a smile: "Amitabha, how are the senior brothers!"

"Hello Senior Brother Daoji!" The three of them returned the salute, and Guangliang frowned and said, "Isn't there a place to clean the Zhinian Nunnery?

"Hehe, I still have to go to see the abbot, I don't think it's necessary, why do Buddhist disciples need to talk about so many false rituals?

The three senior brothers are invited to take care of themselves, the poor monk has been trapped in the back mountain for a long time, he can't drink alcohol, he can't get the meat and fish, and the gluttonous worms in his stomach are about to starve to death, how can he still have the heart to see the old monk at this moment? The poor monk wants to go to the city to play, so he won't accompany a few senior brothers. Dao Ji confessed, shook the broken fan, and strode forward.

"Senior Brother Daoji is slow, it's not too late to go back to the city after seeing the abbot!"

The two law enforcement monks hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and Dao Jili ignored it and walked straight forward.

Two monks stepped forward to hug him, and as soon as Dao Ji raised his arm slightly, the two monks were shocked and fell to the ground.

"This monk has a lot of strength. The second law enforcement monk said secretly in his heart.

They got up from the ground and looked at it in fear, but they didn't dare to stop Dao Ji again.

"Senior Brother Daoji. Guangliang, the monk in charge of the temple, shouted behind Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan turned his head and looked at the tall monk Guangliang with a smile: "What, Senior Brother Guangliang is also coming to stop me?"

"Amitabha!" Guangliang looked at Li Xiuyuan and said solemnly: "The two law enforcement juniors also came to invite you by the abbot's decree, if the Daoji junior brother doesn't go with them, he should also leave a few words for them to go back to the errand?"

"Hehe, when you go back, tell the old monk that since he wants to see me, the initiative is in my hands, and when I want to see him, I will naturally come back, as long as you tell him the truth, he will naturally know what I mean?"

Li Xiuyuan laughed loudly, shook the broken fan Lingyin Temple and left the back mountain in a dashing manner, still humming the unknown tune in his mouth: "The shoes are broken, the hat is broken, the robe on the body is broken, you laugh at me, he laughs at me, a fan is broken ......"

Guangliang looked at Li Xiuyuan's departing figure with faint eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

"Dao Ji is upside down, Senior Brother Dao Ji is really upside down!" the two law enforcement monks thought as they looked at Dao Ji's departing figure.

After Daoji left, they bid farewell to the monk Guangliang and went to the abbot's room to resume his life.

When the two law enforcement monks said Daoji's words to Abbot Huiyuan word for word, Yuan Blind Hall was speechless for a long time.

The abbot waved his hand, and the two law enforcement monks immediately retired, since the abbot did not punish them, they were also happy to be idle, and would no longer manage the affairs of Jiji, but the Daoji became a matter of Jidian, but it spread in the Lingyin Temple.

"Did he perceive something, or did he really know something? At this time, is it a little too early?" In the abbot's room, Zen Master Huiyuan was still speculating about Dao Ji's words.

"Forget it, I can't control him, everything is as it is, let him go!"

Zen Master Huiyuan sighed, continued to close his eyes, and entered a state of meditation.
