Chapter 61: That year I cut the wind and snow into ice flowers

Mr. Xian and Bai Susu were worried about how to enlighten Li Ye, while Li Ye and Xiao Mumu were worried about how to carve scriptures on bamboo leaves.

He and Mu Mu spent two hours picking bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest and packed a large bag. Mu Mu also packed a lot of it in the space of her bracelet.

However, when he returned to the wooden house and tried to carve scriptures on the bamboo leaves, he found that it was difficult to carve a single word on them.

The bamboo leaves are thin and slippery. If you apply a little force, they will either be broken or punctured. Mu Mu took out his knife and tried to write. Before he could finish the stroke, he pierced the back of the leaf.

The two of them struggled for a long time to no avail. Mu Mu pouted and became angry. She left Li Ye alone to continue practicing outside the house and went to find the master to play.

Bai Susu naturally has nothing to do with Mumu. After all, she is only over three years old and cannot be controlled too strictly.

After Li Ye established the foundation level, he could feel the breath of heaven and earth. In his words, he could borrow the power of heaven and earth to practice.

Then, no matter whether he relied on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the Tianshan Mountains, the indestructible power of the "Shadowless Dharmakaya", or the hard and soft power of the "Fuhu Luohan Fist", he could not let the wooden sword in his hand slide against the thin bamboo leaves.

Carve even the simplest stroke on it.

Thinking about what my husband said, it turns out that it is much more difficult to carve scriptures on leaves than on stone walls.

Li Ye did not carve on the bamboo leaves according to the previous method. That required invincible strength, and now no matter how powerful he was, he could not complete it.

He was wondering whether he should use a gentle method, as the teacher said about what it means to lift a heavy weight as if it were light, and what it means to lift a light weight as if it were heavy. This was the only way to practice, and he wanted to try it.

"Lifting the weight as if it were light is strength and speed, then lifting it as light as if it is heavy is a method." Li Ye closed his eyes and meditated, trying hard to understand the artistic conception of lifting as lightly as he had carved the scripture on the stone wall.

"Or is this method also an explosion of true energy in the body?" Li Ye suddenly had an idea. With his current seventh level of foundation building, the true energy in his body is like a river. In the realm of lifting weights as lightly as possible, he can already keep the true energy in his body.

, and continued to carve scriptures on the stone walls.

From the understanding of the engraved scriptures, I understood that the so-called spiritual practice is actually the method of moving the true energy in the Dantian.

Just like a basin of water can bear a small piece of wood; a lake can bear a big tree; but a river can bear a boat.

They are all water and wood, but the weight and size are different, so the power they can carry is naturally different.

Lifting something light or heavy is like a basin carrying a small piece of wood. Once you master it, you have entered this realm.

Li Ye closed his eyes and thought for a long time. He picked up a bamboo leaf on the ground with his hand and held it quietly in his hand. He gently stroked the lines on the leaf and felt its carrying power.

If it doesn't work once, then do it ten times, if it doesn't work ten times, do it a hundred times,... a thousand times.

Li Ye didn't know how many times he tried, but the bamboo leaves he and Mu Mu picked up were completely destroyed by him. In desperation, he had no choice but to run out and pick up some more bamboo leaves.

"There's something going on!" Li Yeyi's hands had been scratched by bamboo leaves, and blood stains were visible, but he was in high spirits. He looked down at the bamboo leaves in his hands and saw a shallow and neat carving of "One" on them.

"Character.

He has been practicing day and night for three days, and his eyes are already bloodshot, but he still practices non-stop at the edge of the woods.

For the past three days, Mumu has been bringing food to him. In her words, her brother has practiced like crazy.

Cultivation, what exactly is practice?

Three days of non-stop sleep depleted all the energy in his body. Once it was released, his whole body was as weak and weak as a deflated rubber ball.

That night, after dinner, Li Ye went into the cave early to rest, lying alone on the soft animal hide. Although he was extremely tired, he could not fall asleep.

But he was thinking about Miss Wushuang thousands of miles away. He knew that her realm was much lower than his, but she still wanted to practice swordsmanship on these leaves. He didn't know how much suffering she would have to endure and how much grievance she would suffer.

I also thought about Dongfang Yu'er in Sifang City, wondering what state she had reached in practicing "Qingluan Condensation" now.

The parents at the foot of the mountain had kind smiles. Fatty Tang didn't know how to lose weight. Hu Ge and her sister Xiao Ju should have started school now. They had learned many poems and essays in the academy, and their martial arts practice had reached several levels of Qi gathering.

I just thought about it for a while and finally fell asleep.

After a night of dreaming, he was the first to wake up. He looked up at the faint morning light shining from the hole in the stone wall, crawled out of bed, and walked out of the cave with gentle steps.

Before he could walk out of the cave, a cold air hit his face.

For just a moment, he saw a vast white world in front of him, and the breath of heaven and earth flowed slowly between the snowy peaks and black mountains of the Tianshan Mountains.

The animal skin boots Li Ye wore made a squeaking sound on the thick snow. He picked up the wooden sword in his hand and walked around the wooden house to the edge of the cedar forest.

But facing the vast Tianshan Mountains, which were like a sea of ​​snow, I just felt that the true energy in my chest was about to burst out, and I wanted to roar loudly at the peaks outside the cliff.

The true meaning of "Phaseless Dharmakaya" circulated in the Dantian, the body sank slightly, and he took a horse stance. With a wave of his right hand, he slashed out the wooden sword in his hand with the starting gesture of "Fuhu Luohan Fist", using the fist intention to transform the sword intention.

, slashed toward the cedar holding thick snowflakes outside the cliff...

The black wooden sword in his hand emitted a sword light and struck the cedar outside the cliff. With a wave of his hand, the sword in his hand was inserted into the snow ten feet away.

He began to practice "Fuhu Luohan Fist" with great concentration, and saw a layer of white air surrounding his thin body, with a faint golden light, and the snowflakes flying in the sky could no longer fly to his body.

The snow on the ground beside the woods was swirling around him, and soon a piece of slate with no snow sticking to it was exposed on the ground.

After an unknown amount of time, he slowly stopped his fists and looked at the smooth ground and the cedars beside him. As far as his eyes could see, the snow on the cedars gradually turned into water.

The water droplets wet the pine needles and then gathered on the branches, and finally condensed into a crystal water droplet, which quickly condensed into ice in the cold mountain wind.

While the water droplets hanging on the branches were freezing into ice droplets, the sword energy in the wind enveloped the fist wind, preventing the water droplets from condensing into a round shape, and instead bloomed one by one.

As if carefully carved with a sword, the ice droplets turned into ice flowers, completing their nirvana of life, and several delicate ice flowers blossomed on the cedar branches.

Li Ye quietly watched the ice flowers on the branches swaying gently in the wind. They revealed a strange brilliance under the refraction of light, which was very magical.

He wanted to reach out and touch the ice flowers on the tree, but stopped after thinking about it.

The thin little face did not reveal a proud expression, but simply said: "I did not complete the task taught by my husband. Instead, I turned the ice and snow into ice flowers, but I still lacked a little effort."

He stood quietly in the snow, and in a moment, the flying snow in the sky turned his body white. A layer of snowflakes also accumulated on the cleared ground.

On the day when Li Hongxiu broke the elixir and became a baby, he thought that he would break through to the late stage of the seventh level of foundation building like her, but he didn't expect that his true energy was still a little behind after all, and he could not complete the breakthrough.

At that moment, he felt like he was about to transform from a cocoon to a butterfly. "Only a little bit, just a little bit." He murmured softly while looking at the snowflakes in the sky.

Li Ye, who was thinking about something, didn't know that his husband had been standing under the eaves and watching him for a long time.

As soon as he swung the sword, the gentleman had already come out of the cave and arrived in front of the wooden house.

Seeing Li Ye's sword energy and fist wind turning snowflakes into ice, and then chipping the ice droplets into ice flowers, Mr. Li Ye was also amazed.

He had not taught Li Ye swordsmanship yet, but had only asked him to seriously practice the most basic skills of swordsmanship. He had achieved this step by relying on his own understanding, which was really unexpected.

"Now that you have sheathed your sword, come back and make tea to warm yourself up." The gentleman shouted to Li Ye who was in a daze, then he went back and opened the curtain and entered the house.

After shouting to Mr. Li Ye, he returned to his senses, stepped on the snow, and returned to the house with his sword in hand.

He waved his little hands to brush away the snowflakes stuck to his body and entered the house.

The stove in front of the gentleman has started to light up.

Looking at the blazing stove, Li Ye asked softly: "Sir, I just felt like I was about to break through again. Should I continue or hold back? I thought I could break through as soon as Mr. Li broke through.

environment."

The gentleman added water to the pot, took out the tea cup, and poured out some tea leaves. "Just the same as before, don't deliberately break through, and don't suppress it."

Li Ye threw the bamboo leaves he carved yesterday into the burning stove, and suddenly there was a fragrance of bamboo in the room.

Smelling the fragrance of bamboo that filled the room, Li Ye remembered what happened yesterday, looked at his husband and said: "Sir, I spent some effort yesterday and tried to combine the "Phaseless Dharmakaya" and "Fuhu Luohan Fist".

It’s just that I can’t carve words on this leaf after all.”

"Once you embark on the long road of cultivation, you can't turn back. You know this truth. You started practicing very quickly, and it didn't take much effort to reach the foundation. And judging from the current situation, you

We must head towards the Golden Core Realm."

"It's just that the road to non-cultivation becomes more difficult as you get older, just like it took you several months to become proficient at carving words on a stone wall, and the Golden Elixir Realm and Nascent Soul Realm are a threshold on the road to cultivation, and it is extremely difficult to break through the elixir to transform into an infant.

"You think you can carve scriptures on these bamboo leaves in a day or two, but you don't know that some people can't even do it in their entire lives."

"Perseverance and patience are both indispensable. You must always remind yourself. When you finally break through the pill and transform into a baby like Hongxiu, at that moment of breakthrough, every time you can advance to a higher level, you will be moved and even fascinated.

"

"However, if you are intoxicated by then, then your path of cultivation is almost over! There is no end to cultivation. Even if Mu Mu's master is now at the eighth level of transcending tribulation, she still needs to feel the energy of heaven and earth all the time.

, looking for opportunities to break through this world."

Buddhism believes that the path of practice has a distance and a state. Li Ye has now reached the fourth level of "Phaseless Dharmakaya" practice, which is a state of state. As long as he breaks through one more state, he will move towards no distance and no state.

Go to the realm.

The gentleman poured a cup of boiling tea for Li Ye, and then poured it for himself. He picked up the cup and blew on the hot air. The room was suddenly filled with the fragrance of bamboo mixed with the fragrance of tea, and the warm time filled the air.

"I just saw you practicing boxing in the snow. After running your "Formless Dharmakaya", the wind and snow can no longer invade your body. If you break through another level and reach the fifth level of the "Formless Dharmakaya", there will be wind and rain.

Your Dharmakaya cannot be broken. This is a state that many people cannot cultivate even in their dreams."

"You just encountered a little setback in practicing swordsmanship, and you want to feel discouraged. You shouldn't!"

Li Ye took the hot tea poured by his husband and took a sip. He felt warm all over his body and a stream of heat flowed down into his stomach.

The teacher smiled and said: "How is it? Today's tea is different from usual, isn't it? It's freezing cold, so I put a piece of ginger in the pot and boiled it. Naturally, you will feel the heat. The same is true on the path of spiritual practice. You must learn

Don’t stick to any one method, as long as it suits your own practice method, it will be the best.”

Li Ye nodded, looked at his husband and said, "Sir, I just took a closer look and found that you can cut the condensed snow into ice flakes. Is this also a method of spiritual practice?"

"Your boxing skills are almost perfect. When you practice the boxing skills, it will be perfect. Go wash the rice and cook porridge. Mu Mu and her master should be awake." The teacher told Li Ye, no matter how hard you practice, the rice will still be the same.

Want something to eat.

Li Ye happily carried the wooden bucket and iron pot out of the wooden house and went to the cave entrance. He was happy on this snowy morning.

Not only was his unintentional practice able to cut ice flowers, but it was also the first time that his husband recognized his skills.
