A gust of cold wind blew, and the frosted leaves swayed slightly in the wind.

A few strands of fine sand sprinkled down the hillside and made a rustling sound, just like the sound of rain.

Under the bright moonlight, the cold is the only feeling left at this moment.

An eight-year-old monk was kneeling on the frozen stream wearing a thin monk's robe and smashed it hard. He finally smashed a few pieces of broken ice, but his little hand had already been frozen red and swollen.

The little body shivered slightly in the cold wind.

He blew two breaths of heat into his palms. He hurriedly put the broken ice into the basket, carrying this basket larger than him, and walked up the winding mountain road step by step.

It has been a long time since I saw the sun, and even Xuanye himself can't remember it. In short, it's a long time.

The weather is getting colder day by day, and all rivers and lakes are frozen. The trees are covered with thick frost, but the leaves are still green as if they were born. What's even more strange is that there has not been a single snow so far.

Fortunately, it didn't snow, otherwise he, his master and his brothers would have to be frozen to death.

I heard from the master that there was a demon monkey in the east causing trouble, and even the Dragon Prince and the King of Hell were tortured and fled, so naturally there was no rain.

After walking for a long time, he finally climbed the low mountain panting and saw the dilapidated temple on the top of the mountain. The temple door was rotten and leaned against it crookedly, as if the wind would fall down.

Walking into the temple, he tiptoed to throw the broken ice into the pot in the kitchen, took out the fire stick and lay on the edge of the stove to set the fire, and waited until the ice in the pot turned into water. He climbed onto the stove and took a bowl in his hand. He walked into the hall carefully.

Since the Buddha statues in the hall were not taken care of for a long time, they had spider webs, and the ground was even more messy, including mud, sand, rotten wood, everything, and it was like a ruin.

Turning into the small room on the side, he looked up and saw an old monk leaning against the couch.

"Master, are you better?" As he said that, he handed over the bowl of water with both hands.

He took the water handed over by Xiao Xuanye. The old monk took a sip, covered his mouth and coughed twice, covered his chest and took a deep breath, and sighed: "It's much better. I thought I was going to go, but I didn't expect it to recover again. Thanks to the Buddha's blessing."

As he said that, he folded his hands together and bowed to the west devoutly.

Xuan Ye opened his clear eyes wide and asked in a low voice: "Would you like to eat something?"

"Eat something?" The old monk was slightly stunned and smiled helplessly: "Is there anything else to eat in the temple?"

"The rice is gone. But the disciple went to pick some wild vegetables early this morning, how about boiling wild vegetable soup for the master later?"

The old monk nodded with relief and smiled. After thinking about it, he asked softly again: "Are your two senior brothers back?"

"The eldest and second brothers have not come back yet."

"Have you come back yet?" The old monk blinked his eyes, his brows frowned tightly, and turned his head to look out the window.

It was still dark outside, and what was worse was the weather.

Most of the people in the small town at the foot of the mountain have moved away, and now the fate cannot be changed. Although it is not difficult to find something to fill the stomach on the mountain, if the weather gets colder day by day... Maybe when the master and apprentice will be frozen to death here.

After thinking for a long time, the old monk whispered: "Xuanye, let's wait for two more days. If your two senior brothers can't come back, we won't wait for them."

"Don't wait for them?" Xuan Ye was stunned.

"Yes, let's go south and see if we can find a place where people can be found."

"But... why should we leave? Isn't this temple very good? Although it's a little broken now, when the weather gets better, we can repair it."

"Because of the cold, if this continues, I'm afraid we will be frozen to death before the weather improves."

"But, don't we have the blessing of the Buddha? What are we afraid of?"

Hearing this, the old monk was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he touched Xuanye's head, blinked his old eyes and said softly: "The highest level is to beg for Dharma to practice the spirit, and the lowest level is to beg for food to provide for the body. Practicing Buddha is what we need to practice, and it is our own business. All suffering in this secular world is to temper our minds. If the Buddha is willing, it is good. If the Buddha cannot pull away, we should not have any requirements."

Xuan Ye frowned and said with a flat mouth: "If one day a disciple becomes a Buddha, he will be regarded as a Buddha who is willing to save suffering. When someone is hungry, his disciple will give him clothes, and when someone is thirsty, his disciple will give him water. In this kind of cold weather, he should give him some thicker clothes."

As he said that, Xuanye stretched his head and looked out the window, but unfortunately there was nothing outside the window.

Looking at his simple appearance and listening to the words, the old monk was already overjoyed and sighed softly: "It's great that you have this idea, but the four elements and five aggregates of Buddhism are empty. If you really become a Buddha, you will focus on the Buddhist Dharma. How can you care about this mortal matter? If you care about it, you will be involved in unnecessary cause and effect and contaminated with the meaningless world."

"Ah?" Xuan Ye was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said with a confused look on his face: "This... Master, you have to abide by so many rules after becoming a Buddha?"

The old monk gently patted the little monk's hand and said, "This is not a rule, but a result of the mind and nature. Becoming a Buddha is about sudden enlightenment, reading Buddhist scriptures hard, experiencing suffering, and becoming a Buddha after sudden enlightenment. Without that mind and nature, how could he become a Buddha? If he had that mind and nature, how could he do that?"

"Can disciples not become Buddhas first?"

"Don't you become a Buddha for now?"

Xuan Ye preached very seriously: "When you are only one step away from becoming a Buddha, stop and help others, and wait for everyone to become a Buddha together. Master, what do you think of your disciple's idea?"

As he said that, Xuanye blinked his eyes and stared at his master with anticipation.

As the saying goes, children are free of restraint, and the old monk is already a little ridiculous.

"Others are asking to become Buddhas, but you want to not become Buddhas first?"

"No?"

Touching Xuanye's head, the old monk sighed: "Silly child, when will you become a Buddha, you have the final say."

"Can't you have the final say?"

"Of course not."

Xuanye flattened his mouth in disappointment.

Just now, a shocking sound suddenly came from a distance.

Xuanye shrank to the ground in shock.

The old monk was also shocked and almost fell off the couch, and hurriedly said, "Xuanye, hurry up, look."

“Hey.”

Xuan Ye immediately ran out with his trousers legs. When he stepped out of the temple gate, he was stunned.

The strong wind swept across, and a mountain in the distance was collapsing with the roar, and mud and sand poured down like an avalanche, flooding the abandoned village at the foot of the mountain.

Lightning intersects in the vortex formed by clouds in the sky.

The monkey held the golden cudgel and hung in the air, staring at Tathagata with breathlessness and shouting: "I don't allow you to touch them--!"

The sound was so loud that the world was shocked, so loud that Xuan Ye, who was standing in the distance, couldn't help but cover his ears.

"Who are they?" He stared at him intently through the crack of the door, as if he recognized Tathagata.

Looking at the monkey quietly, Tathagata squinted his eyes and sighed softly: "The power is as strong as the heart moves. The power is now much stronger than it has just now... Hahaha, it is indeed Wuji. Such a powerful power is really no one can stop him from destroying the world. It's a pity that although the strength is infinite, the heart is extremely strong."

"What do you want to say?" The monkey clutched the golden cudgel in his hand and made a "clog" sound: "As long as you dare to touch them, I will kill all your disciples!"

"I have moved, why don't you kill me? Why do you still follow me?" Tathagata spread his hands and chuckled: "You have also practiced Buddha, but unfortunately I have accomplished nothing. You should know whether I care. Should I take you to Lingshan and kill a few disciples with your own hands to verify my monk's practice?"

The corners of the monkey's eyes twitched suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "What is the benefit of doing this for you...? Aren't you empty all four?"

Tathagata smiled faintly and said, "Because... you hate me. Although 'Wuji' cannot threaten 'no self', it is the cultivation of heaven. I am not as omniscient as Laojun, and knows everything and knows the past and the future. Everything must be guarded against. Are you right?"
