The rising sun hangs high in the sky.

The faint sunlight shines on the earth, like a mother carefully caring for her child.

Everything under the sun presents its most beautiful side.

The grass is more green in the sun, which makes people shine and become more beautiful and moving.

Even the dewdrops on the grass, under the not-so-violent sunlight at the moment, are transparent, like pearls, very beautiful.

On the lawn, Zhao Yu opened his eyes and looked at the sun in the sky.

He rubbed his eyes, and habitually looked at each other on both sides, but there was no one nearby.

Zhao Yu got up and felt that he had a lot more physical strength. He stretched, picked up his luggage, found a nearby water source, washed up briefly, and prepared to continue on his way.

This place is quite close to Lingyun Temple, and there is only more than half an hour left to go.

Zhao Yu encountered too many strange things on the road in the past two days, which made his young heart somewhat shadowed, thinking that he could return to Lingyun Temple today, and his mood was inevitably a little excited. The sun shone on his body, warm, and some of the unhappiness in his heart was also left behind.

Zhao Yu ate some dry food and started to set off. Since he had rested on the lawn last night, he was also anxious to return to Lingyun Temple as soon as possible, and he arrived in less than half an hour.

At the entrance of Lingyun Temple, a figure was still there with his head down and constantly sweeping the floor. There were only a few leaves on the ground, but he had been sweeping for a long time, and I really didn't know if he was sweeping the ground or thinking about things. He was so attentive that when Zhao Yu walked nearby, he didn't even notice it.

Zhao Yu was not surprised by this, looked at the familiar figure, and said excitedly: "Heart Zen."

The weak figure looked up, and when he saw Zhao Yu, the excitement on his face emerged. He threw away the broom in his hand, ran to Zhao Yu, grabbed Zhao Yu's arm and said, "You're back!"

Zhao Yu saw that the little monk who had only known him for a few months was so kind to him, and he inevitably dared to move in his heart, and he nodded heavily, which was regarded as a reply to Xinzen.

Xinzen said happily: "Let's go, let's go to the temple." Without waiting for Zhao Yu to answer, he grabbed his burden and pulled him straight to the temple.

Lingyun Temple is the same as before, and it has not changed from before.

Zhao Yu looked at the familiar houses and objects in front of him, looked at the abbot Jueben's closed meditation room and said, "Is the abbot still chanting?"

"No, the abbot is gone. Shinzen replied.

"Not anymore?" Zhao Yu exclaimed.

"No, the abbot said two or three days ago that he had something to do and hurried out. Xinzen looked at Zhao Yudao, who reacted so strongly.

Zhao Yu was stunned. In the few months since he came to Lingyun Temple, Master Jueben seems to have never left the temple for a single step, why did he leave in a hurry this time.

Zhao Yu said again: "Did the abbot say when he would come back?"

Xinzen said: "The abbot said that if you are early, it will be a month or two, and if you are late, it will be a year." ”

Zhao Yu was stunned.

Xinzen looked at Zhao Yu's strange expression, smiled, and said, "Before the abbot left, he had already arranged homework for you. ”

"Homework?" Zhao Yuqi said.

"Well, the abbot has prepared the sutras for you, and the esoteric places have been annotated for you. He gives you a good understanding. Xinzen nodded.

After he finished speaking, he paused and said, "The Buddhist scriptures are piled up half a foot high, enough for you to read for a year, hehe." ”

Zhao Yu's jaw of shock was about to drop.

In fact, it is not as exaggerated as the heart Zen says.

Before leaving, Jueben prepared a few Buddhist classics for Zhao Yu, so that Zhao Yu could have a good understanding.

Buddhist scriptures and the like are not a matter of reading too much, the main thing is to look at people's understanding, and if you have a poor understanding, you just let him read a wide range of books, and you can't understand it as well as a little bit with a good understanding.

Fortunately, Jueben is also a master, and he understands this truth, and he did not force Zhao Yu.

The following days returned to the quiet life of the past, Zhao Yu would sweep the floor with Xinzen every morning, and the rest of the days were to study Buddhism.

Zhao Yu usually fights with Xinzen, and his life can be regarded as happy and happy.

It wasn't until the dead of night that Zhao Yu dared to cultivate the thick earth.

The thick earth is divided into nine layers, one to three layers are considered to be the level of gathering spirits, four to six layers are the realm of exorcism, and seven to nine layers are the legendary realm of controlling spirits. The first three layers are the basic method of the thick soil, as for the realm of exorcism, it depends on the person's qualifications and understanding, and those with poor understanding may not be able to break through in their lifetime. As for the legendary Spirit Control Realm, there are very few who have cultivated to it, and only those who have super good qualifications and a certain opportunity can cultivate it.

Although the first three layers are the most basic, cultivation also depends on qualifications.

Ordinary people can complete the first layer of cultivation in one to three months, the second layer in three to six months, and the third layer in six to one year.

Although Zhao Yu's qualifications are not very bad, he is not one of those people with particularly good qualifications, and he can only be regarded as mediocre.

Due to the Demon God's physique and the water spiritual power in his body, it took Zhao Yu another half a month to complete the cultivation of the first layer of the Thick Earth Determination, and the dull pain in his whole body when he started to cultivate was also slightly reduced.

Zhao Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling that the earth spirit power in his body was a little more. I don't know why, every time he cultivates, he feels that there are two completely different spiritual powers in his body, one spiritual power is quite resistant to earth spiritual power, and the other is indeed quite weird. He thought about it for a long time, and he didn't think about it, so he didn't want to think about it directly, and continued to secretly cultivate every night as usual.

Zhao Yu naturally had no way of knowing that the spiritual power in his body that was quite resistant to the earth's spiritual power was the evil qi in his body.

At present, the demon god's physique has not yet awakened, and the evil qi in the body can be temporarily suppressed by the Bagua Sealing Spirit Array. Once it erupts, Zhao Yu's cultivation will increase dramatically, but he will also become a heinous demon because of the explosion of evil qi in his body.

And the other spiritual power that both resists and feels like life is naturally the water spiritual power that Shui Hua forcibly injected into Zhao Yu's body.

Zhao Yu's cultivation of the thick earth and the blue water of the water bloom cultivation are from the same classic book, and the cultivation method is roughly the same, both of which are divided into three realms: gathering spirits, driving away things, and controlling spirits, so they have the meaning of coexistence with the earth spiritual power. However, the five elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restrictive, so there is also the meaning of resistance, but more of them complement each other.

Two months passed, and Jueben did not return.

Four months have passed, and Jueben still hasn't returned.

Within four months, Zhao Yu's cultivation in the Thick Earth Decisive had broken through the second layer and had officially stepped into the third layer of cultivation.

The pain that I used to experience when I was cultivating has now become very light, like a mosquito bite.

Zhao Yu's study of Buddhism has also entered a qualitative leap, he has now read all the Buddhist scriptures left by Jueben, some slightly difficult places have the annotations of Jueben next to them, and sometimes he will ask Xinzen if he can't figure out the place.

Xinzen has practiced with Jueben since childhood, and his attainments in Buddhism are definitely not comparable to Zhao Yu, who became a monk halfway.

Every time Zhao Yu asked for advice, Xinzen changed the normal state of the usual hippie smile, and patiently and seriously explained one or two to him.

Zhao Yu looked at the serious attitude of Xinzen when he explained to himself, and he was a little pretending to be old, which was a little ridiculous.

Everything was fine in four months, but Zhao Yu would go crazy every once in a while, and he was uncomfortable, and he didn't know what the problem was.

In fact, this is all because of his demon god physique, although the demon god physique has not yet awakened, but with the improvement of Zhao Yu's Taoism, the evil qi in his body will increase day by day. If Zhao Yu can't find a reasonable solution, he will be directly killed by the explosion tortured by the evil qi in his body in the end.

Every time Zhao Yu's demon god physique attacked, he was tortured to death, and he gritted his teeth in pain, like a fierce beast suddenly awakened, but it seemed that he was deliberately suppressed every time.

Xinzen saw that his good partner was in such pain, and he was in a hurry, but unfortunately the abbot was not here, if the abbot was here, there might be a way to alleviate Zhao Yu's pain.

Xinchan said in a low valley: "Abbot." Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and before leaving, the abbot seemed to mention that Zhao Yu's body was like something abnormal, and he gave him a package.

Xinchan quickly went to the abbot's room and found a yellow package under the abbot's bed, which the abbot had specially explained to him before leaving. He took the yellow package and went to visit Zhao Yu, who had already survived the ordeal just now.

At this moment, Zhao Yu was sweating profusely, lying on the bed and breathing deeply.

Xinzen waited for Zhao Yu to be in a slightly better state before handing over the yellow package to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "What is this?"

Xin Zen said: "This is what the abbot left for you before leaving, and he seems to say that he can relieve your pain when your body is abnormal."

Zhao Yu nodded in agreement and gratefully accepted the yellow package.

Zhao Yu slowly opened the yellow package, and there was a letter in the package, and there were several of them. He opened the envelope and began to read the handwritten letter that Jueben had left behind. At the time of tea, Zhao Yu put down the letter.

Jueben said in the letter that let Zhao Yu study Buddhism well, never have the intention of killing, be calm in everything, and never be angry. He also warned Zhao Yu that when he was upset, he should practice according to this method, and he must not rush to make progress, and pay attention to fate in everything.

Zhao Yu held the letter and froze in place, and the three big characters on the paper came into view, the Demon Sutra.
