Walking on South Street, he found a food stall, treated Tang Chao and the others to a bowl of jelly, and chatted with a few people for a while, before Li Ye led Agui away.

It was almost midnight, and I looked at the sky. Instead of going to my husband's yard, I walked along South Street to my home.

As soon as I entered the mansion, I saw the master and his wife standing in the corridor talking.

Li Ye didn't understand what his parents were doing standing here, so he stepped forward and asked, "Mom, Dad, you two are not staying in the house. What are you doing standing on the porch?"

When the lady saw that her son was back, she quickly wiped her eyes with the silk scarf in her hand and said, "It's so early to come back today... It's okay to go and talk in the house."

After saying that, he took Li Ye's hand with a look of reluctance. The husband also shook his head, thinking that this woman was just soft-hearted.

Agui saw the seriousness of the scene and followed behind without saying anything.

The four of them arrived at the flower hall, and Agui went to pour tea. Madam pulled Li Ye to sit next to her, with a doting look on her face, and touched Li Ye's head with her hand.

He said slowly: "Sir, you came back just after he left. Didn't you meet him on the way?"

Li Ye raised his head and looked at Ye Zhiqiu in confusion. "Mom, sir, is there anything important when you come here? I came from South Street and didn't see you."

The Master just looked at the tea in his hand and remained silent.

The lady sighed and said, "Sir, he said he would go to Tianshan early tomorrow morning. Seeing that you didn't go to the academy, he came to our house to look for you."

"My husband said he planned to go out before the sun came up. He wanted to get to the place where he would spend the night before dark, so he had to hurry up."

The madam glanced at the master, thinking that she should give some advice to her son.

The Master looked at the Madam's eyes and knew what she wanted to say, so he ignored her and just said to Li Ye: "Follow Sir, nothing will happen. We are just in the wilderness, so you have to learn to take care of yourself."

Li Ye's heart tightened, could he think so quickly? No wonder he felt uncomfortable in Jinbao Pavilion today.

Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's sad look, Li Ye took her hand and said, "Mother, my son's cultivation level is already very high now. It's hard to get better results in the city or in the Great Buddha Temple, so I have to

Go to Tianshan Mountain to practice."

The Master also comforted his woman and said, "Ye'er is right. His body is naturally different. Reading an omnipotent book is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."

Ye Zhiqiu sighed, looked at your two sons, and said: "I understand all these principles, but I feel uncomfortable in my heart. Ye'er has grown up and has never left me outside the city."

After saying that, he took out his silk scarf and wiped the tears from his eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Li Ye hugged Ye Zhiqiu and smiled. "Mother, father, if you two feel bored, give me a younger sister. These two little sisters call me brother every day when they see me. I want to have one too."

She is your own sister, love her and protect her."

When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, pinched Li Ye's ears and said, "How can you think of all this at such a young age?"

The originally solemn atmosphere in the flower hall was broken by Li Ye's words.

The master looked at Agui who was standing aside and said with a smile: "Go to the kitchen and make more delicious food for tonight. I don't know how long it will take to eat it when I am gone."

Ye Zhiqiu also nodded, with a blush on his face, thinking that after tonight, his son would go to the mountains to endure hardships and make more delicious food.

Seeing his mother's words to him which made him blush, Li Ye also felt a little happy.

However, when he took out the wooden box from his arms, a faint melancholy appeared on his face.

I thought that the road was high and the road was long, and I didn’t know when I would see the two of them again. I couldn’t help but hum softly:

It comes like flowing water and passes like wind. I don’t know where it came from or where it ended.

...

Singing softly and humming, going back and forth several times.

The originally joyful atmosphere of the flower hall was suddenly tinged with solemnity.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at his son, thinking how could he feel sad about separation at such a young age?

After thinking about it, he pulled Li Ye over and asked softly: "Ye'er, why don't you ask Agui to invite Wushuang and Yu'er to have dinner and talk together at home?"

Li Ye thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, how about meeting once, there will always be a time to part ways."

After saying that, he took out the cloth bag, counted one hundred gold coins from it, and put it on the table.

He took Ye Zhiqiu and said, "I gave it to the master of the Great Buddha Temple, sir, as well as some to the two princesses and Hu Ge, and I will keep the rest for my mother."

Ye Zhiqiu didn't want it, so he patted Li Ye's little hand and said, "You are so young, there is no reason to give your mother money."

Looking at his mother, Li Ye said softly: "I still have dozens of coins here. Besides, when I go to Tianshan with my husband, I have no place to spend the money. You and your father don't make any money in the academy, and you are still paying for it."

"If my son can earn money, of course he can spend it on his mother. Take these first, and when I come back, I will give them to you and my father after I earn them."

When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he almost burst into tears, thinking that his son was already sensible and matured too quickly. He had grown up in the blink of an eye before he could fully enjoy the joy of childhood.

The master sat drinking tea with a look of relief on his face, thinking that his son was really good.

Watching his mother put away the gold coins, Li Ye opened the wooden box on the table, took out two brocade bags from his chest, and pushed them both in front of Ye Zhiqiu.

"These are the two pieces of Ruyi I bought at Jinbao Pavilion today. I wanted to give them to them personally, but it looks like I'm going to trouble my mother."

Ye Zhiqiu glanced at his son and gently took out a piece of Ruyi from the box. He saw that the whole body was moist white jade, dotted with a piece of emerald green, with the eyes of a phoenix carved on it.

Turning over the back, I saw a line of regular script engraved on it:

A stranger is like jade

I was shocked, put down this piece, and took out another piece. I saw the same texture, but the green embellishment was replaced by a lotus flower, and the back was engraved with:

The gentleman is unparalleled

When Ye Zhiqiu saw it, he couldn't help but shed tears. He thought to himself what was going on in his son's heart. He could write such a poem.

He recited softly: "The people on the road are like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world."

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, he pushed the wooden box in front of the master.

The master picked up a piece of jade Ruyi, looked at it carefully and was speechless.

At this moment, silence is better than sound.

Li Ye looked at the sky outside the flower hall and softly chanted:

Hands as delicate as jade, light makeup is better than applying makeup.

Introduce you to the incense hall and talk about the present and the past.

The stranger is like jade, and the gentleman is unparalleled in the world.

...

"The one with the lotus carved on it should be given to Senior Sister, and the other piece should be given to Dongfang Yu'er. The two bags are given by the shopkeeper of Jinbao Pavilion, one for each person."

"The gentleman who wants to prepare has already prepared it. Mother can just find me two thicker clothes. Please trouble mother." Li Ye took Ye Zhiqiu's hand.

Ye Zhiqiu, with red eyes, said: "We have ready-made clothes at home. I'll wrap them up for you after dinner. You need to eat more at night. There's nothing edible in the wild mountains of Tianshan."

While I was worried about my son, I was thinking of my two young ladies.

Xindao, although these two little guys usually like to quarrel with their sons, if they learn tomorrow or the day after tomorrow that their sons leave without saying goodbye and don't know when they will come back, will they cry like little kittens?

The most painful thing in life is separation, and even more so separation is indefinite.

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but hold Li Ye in his arms, feeling sorry for his son who had to endure separation at such a young age.

The sunlight outside the flower hall shines quietly on the floor under the eaves, and the cicada on the tree seems to know that the end of autumn is the end of its life, so it screams desperately.

There was a breeze blowing through the trees...

Li Ye, who was being held by Ye Zhiqiu, broke away from his mother's arms and walked to the eaves outside the flower hall.

Looking at the setting sun in the west, listening to the chirping of cicadas in the garden, I suddenly felt something...

Just like this, standing in the sunset, like a statue.

The cicada on the tree is like the setting sun in the west. It knows that it has a short life, so it will burn out the glory of life in its last days.

Just like a mayfly, although it lives and dies in a short period of time, it must try its best to complete the birth, growth, mating...reproduction, and then grow old in a short period of time...

The Buddha said that dying towards life is inevitable in life, but living towards death is the sublimation of life.

The sentient beings on the path of spiritual practice and the monks in the Great Buddha Temple have practiced hard for a lifetime and have understood the unbreakable destiny of life and death. However, when Li Ye was separated from the girl who had not yet realized his love, he inadvertently

Exploration.

Li Ye was chanting the six-character mantra in his mouth, feeling that the true energy in his body was out of his control. A stream of heat rushed out of his Dantian, went straight to Baihui, and then rose into the sky.

Ye Zhiqiu and Fuzi saw a white airflow suddenly appear on Li Ye's head like a swirling nest, growing from small to large, and turning faster and faster.

And Li Ye's small body was still glowing with a layer of golden Buddha light, just like the Buddha in the hall, extremely solemn.

Before he was separated from his family, Li Ye experienced life and death from the chirping of cicadas, and actually allowed his realm to break through to the fourth level of foundation building.

The teacher said that Li Ye does not need to deliberately improve his spiritual realm, but to cultivate his mental state. Once the mental state is reached, the state will naturally break through.

Li Ye, who was overflowing with water, murmured softly:

Die to life, live to death.

Li Ye just stood there quietly.

The spreading Buddha light illuminated the flower hall, and also illuminated the Master and Ye Zhiqiu.

Seeing their son standing there, they broke through the realm of spiritual practice, and the couple were stunned.
