He sat for two days and two nights, and in the early morning of the third day, the sun jumped out of the ground line, sprinkling patches of golden light, and the fog in the mountains and forests was dispelled by the sun, and every green leaf seemed to be breathing.

Li Qianmo slowly gathered his strength and stood up, and said to himself in confusion: "Why did my cultivation not only not decrease after suffering a major injury, but instead improved to the triple realm of the Law Phase?"

He frowned and muttered for a moment, and suddenly said to himself: "Could it be because of that kind of relationship with the bell, I heard that the first dual cultivation of male and female monks can greatly improve their cultivation, especially the virgin Yuan Yin has the greatest improvement in cultivation." ”

He pondered for a moment, and felt that there was only such a possibility, and when he thought of the bell, he couldn't help but feel gloomy in his heart, and sighed: "It's okay now, I don't have the face to see the peacock, and I don't have the face to see the bell." With that, he sighed and shook his head, and took a stride along the forest path.

His feet were steady, and he walked out of the mountains and forests in half an hour and stepped on the official road.

He was confused and didn't know where to go, so he simply chose a random direction to go forward, found a place to rest, meditated and practiced, and then continued on his way.

Three months later, it was late autumn and the weather turned cold, and Li Qianmo walked from the south of the Song Kingdom to the west of the Song Kingdom.

The western frontier of the Song Kingdom is very desolate, and it is not possible to find a single family or town for hundreds of miles, where the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large, and the noon is hot and the day is hot, but the night is cold and windy.

Li Qianmo has been walking in the mortal realm, so that it is easy to hide his identity, he is bored and wandering, walking for three days in a row, and finally saw a small town in front of him.

In this desolate place, the town is also very dilapidated, he entered the town and inquired, only to know that this is the westernmost town of the Song Kingdom, and further west is a desolate desert, uninhabited.

It was noon, and Li Qianmo was drinking in a small wine shop in the town, which was dry and hot, and it was ten times more pleasant to drink here than anywhere.

The wine was in high spirits, and suddenly there was a commotion on the street, Li Qianmo turned his head to look, only to see a group of people gathered there to watch the excitement, and four tall middle-aged men were punching and kicking a person inside.

"The old thing, dare to steal things, look for ...... death"

"Fight hard, this old thing is very ...... to fight"

The four of them were beating and scolding, arrogant.

Seeing this, Li Qianmo twisted his eyebrows, came to the crowd in three or two steps, stretched out his hand and pulled out the four middle-aged people, and threw them aside, only to see an old monk holding his head in his hands and shrinking at the foot of the wall, the thin monk's robe on his body was tattered, extremely dirty, and he couldn't distinguish the color, and a pair of monk shoes under his feet were even more tattered, four of his five toes had been exposed, and there was a big hole in the sole.

The old monk felt that those people suddenly stopped, and slowly lowered his hands to look.

Li Qianmo saw the appearance of this old monk now, and saw that he was extremely old, his face was withered, his face was wrinkled, and his sparse white beard seemed to be falling off at any time, looking at him like he looked like he couldn't live for a few months.

"Where did you come from, stinky boy, looking for death!" The four middle-aged people were furious when they saw Li Qianmo suddenly coming to make trouble, and they roared and punched at Li Qianmo.

Li Qianmo took a step back, and his body ** let out a true qi, which acted on the big man's fist, and the big man's fist suddenly drew an arc, hitting back, and hit him in front of the door.

"Ahh

The other three were also about to come up to clean up Li Qianmo, but when they saw that the big man was injured so strangely, they were suddenly startled, stared at Li Qianmo in horror, and didn't dare to step forward.

Li Qianmo glanced at them coldly, his eyes bloomed with coldness, and the four of them trembled as if they had been shocked, and without saying a word, they turned their heads away from the crowd and slipped away.

The people around who watched the excitement thought that there would be a good show to watch, but they didn't expect it to end like this, and they shook their heads in disappointment and dispersed in twos and threes.

Li Qianmo turned around and came to the old monk, who hurriedly got up and smiled: "Thank you Xiao Tanyue for helping." After that, he stretched out his hand and handed over half of the steamed buns, and said with a smile, "A certain family has no long things, so there is only one stolen steamed bun, and half of it will be given to you as a thank you." ”

Li Qianmo glanced at the steamed bun in his hand and found that the snow-white steamed bun was stained with a lot of mud and black fingerprints, how could such a steamed bun be eaten.

He could only smile and shake his head: "Master doesn't have to be polite, I'll invite you to eat, don't eat steamed buns." ”

The old monk's eyes lit up when he heard this, he looked at Li Qianmo, and said, "Okay, thank you Xiao Tanyue." ”

Li Qianmo took the old monk to a hotel, ordered some vegetarian dishes and a pot of tea, the old monk ate three bowls of rice, wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeves and said: "Thank you Xiao Tanyue for your generosity, a certain family will leave first, and there will be a period later." With that, he got up and left.

"Master stay!" Li Qianmo hurriedly stopped him.

"What else is going on with Xiao Tanyue?" the old monk turned around and asked suspiciously.

Li Qianmo arched his hand and said: "I had a meal with the master, and I don't know the name of the master of the Dao." ”

The old monk smiled and said, "The Dharma name, a certain family has not used it for many years, and I have forgotten it for a long time, you can call a certain foolish monk." ”

"Foolish monk?" Li Qianmo said puzzled, "Stupid foolish?"

"Exactly. The foolish monk smiled and nodded, "Everyone in the world is wise, but I am the only fool." ”

Li Qianmo was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "The master is too modest, although I met the master in Pingshui, but since I can have this fate, I want to ask the master some questions, and I hope the master will give advice." ”

"Don't dare to teach. "The foolish monk is right," Tan Yue asked, and a certain family knew everything. ”

"Does the master have anything to do with the Jialan Temple?" Li Qianmo stared at the foolish monk with his eyes, in case he was lying, and used the Heavenly Son Wangqi Technique to observe the subtle changes in his expression.

The foolish monk smiled and said indifferently: "A certain family used to be a disciple of Jialan Temple, and later left Jialan Temple and became an ascetic. ”

And so it was. Li Qianmo muttered, "No wonder you were beaten by so many people and didn't get hurt in the slightest, although I can't see your cultivation, but looking at your method of hiding your breath, you should be a real master." ”

The foolish monk smiled and shook his head: "Real people are Taoist sayings. ”

"Oh, what is the name of the fourfold master of the Buddhist family?" Li Qianmo suddenly became interested, he knew very little about the affairs of the Buddhist family, so he was very curious.

The foolish monk picked up the teapot and drank it cleanly, sighed and wiped his lips, and said: "The Buddhists call the master of the path of harmony a master of the great master, the master of the path of the second is called the master, the three layers of the path are called the Zen master, the four times of the path are called bhikshus, if the four major perfections of the path are called the great monks." ”

"Oh......" Li Qianmo nodded and smiled, thinking it was very interesting, thinking about it, and then asked, "Then Zhenjun and Daozun also have other names in the Buddhist family." ”

"That's right, foolish" the foolish monk smiled and nodded, "Zhenjun is called Ming Wang or King Kong in Buddhism, and as for Daozun, we Buddhism call it Buddha." ”

"I see. Li Qianmo heard this for the first time, and said happily, "I didn't expect the Buddhists to call cultivation like this, I really have a long insight, by the way, the master just said that he was an ascetic, what is an ascetic?"

The foolish monk said: "The ascetic monk is a monk who does not accept the big temple and does not leave the small temple, and has been walking outside, covering the sky and the ground, eating and drinking dew, tasting the suffering of the world, and understanding the Buddha's teachings." ”

Li Qianmo was stunned when he heard this, and said incomprehensibly: "With such a profound cultivation of the master, these are not any hardships. ”

The foolish monk shook his head: "Since a certain family wants to be an ascetic, it is natural to cultivate the whole body as a seal, and when you are tired, you must sleep, when you are hungry, you must eat, and when you are thirsty, you must drink, just like ordinary people." ”

"Ah!" Li Qianmo exclaimed in surprise when he heard this, and only after a moment did he shake his head and sigh, "Master, why is this so troublesome." ”

"Why bother?" the foolish monk smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and said slowly, "If you don't experience all kinds of things in the world and sit empty and participate in meditation, how can you experience the supreme truth?" In fact, cultivating the Tao and visiting the Buddha is the same principle, and at the end of the day, they are all pursuing the supreme truth, the existence of nothingness, but before reaching that realm, sentient beings will gain a strong amount of power because of cultivation, and this power may guide them to find the truth of the Tao they want, but it may also make sentient beings indulge in it and lose their direction, you understand the meaning of a certain family. ”

Li Qianmo was stunned when he heard this, carefully savored what the foolish monk said, and suddenly found that he was full of words, and suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, and hurriedly got up and bowed to the foolish monk, and said: "The master is really a generation of wise philosophers, and the proverbs he spits out make the younger generations suddenly open, and the younger generations admire!"

"Zhizhe is a fart!" the foolish monk suddenly scolded angrily when he heard this, turned around and left.

Li Qianmo was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this high monk's temperament to be so strange, and turning his face was like turning a book, which really made him feel inexplicable.
