Chapter 63 The Meaning of Practice
There was no blessing from the power of the "Phaseless Dharmakaya", nor was it possible to use the Fuhu Arhat Fist to be both hard and soft. There was no sound of piercing the bamboo leaves, nor was there any sound of the flow of true energy from the wooden sword.
The teacher saw a neat regular script character on the bamboo leaf in Li Ye's hand: "Nothing."
The word "wu" of the supreme and profound subtle Dharma, the word "wu" of Shangguan Wushuang, the word "wu" of "The Formless Dharmakaya", the word "wu" of the formless Dharma of Buddhism.
In a moment, Li Ye randomly carved the word "无" on the bamboo leaves.
It's both unintentional and intentional.
At this moment, Li Ye has reached the seventh level of the late stage of foundation building as a practitioner, but his cultivation of spiritual consciousness has surpassed Mu Mu, who is in the third level of Jindan, and the terror of his physical body is comparable to that of Li Hongxiu, who is in Nascent Soul level.
The husband was thinking about what kind of power it would take to hang those ice flowers on the pine needles.
Bai Susu was thinking that her brother was about to catch up with her sister, so she could trust him in the future.
Li Ye looked at the bamboo leaves in his hand in a daze, thinking that his swordsmanship had finally reached the threshold of a gentleman.
Only Mu Mu was sitting on the master, looking at the three people in a daze, pouting and thinking about what to eat, as if she was hungry again.
The gentleman re-added some charcoal to the stove and water to the pot. I only had two cups of tea and it tasted just right.
Bai Susu stroked Mumu's hair and comforted her softly, "Don't make any noise. You will have meat to eat soon and you won't starve."
Li Ye looked at the half-finished knife sharpened by his husband on the table, thinking about all the things he had come along the way.
It seems that I did not practice to make my parents happy; nor did I endure hardship just for my husband, constantly breaking through the limits of my body and improving my realm.
It’s not just for the sake of the old monks from the great Buddhist temple, to memorize those obscure scriptures and understand the profound meaning of Buddhism.
It’s not like he had to carry water on his head and wear iron clothes just to defeat the young lady from the General’s Mansion.
Even at such a young age, he saw life and death in Buddhism and understood the supreme importance of living toward death.
His appearance in the sky has nothing to do with him, it's just that he wants to go to Tianshan Mountain; his practice of spiritual consciousness has nothing to do with Mu Mu, it's just that he wants to hear the crisp sound of the spring water flowing out of the cave condensing into ice and shattering in the mountain stream.
When he was living in the academy since he was a child, from the time he learned to read and memorized the Thousand-Character Classic, to the time he came to understand the Ksitigarbha Sutra, and then later his teacher's "The Formless Dharmakaya", it seemed that he had never seriously thought about why he wanted to go there. Practice these scriptures and mental methods.
There are too few things in this world that can concern him. It seems that apart from the sadness of parting with his two young ladies, his days in Tianshan are all about practicing for the sake of practicing.
Even though he was already at the advanced stage of foundation building and had already cultivated his spiritual consciousness, he didn't feel anything special to be happy about. It seemed that these things were the same as eating and drinking water.
Could it be that after cultivating the golden elixir, or breaking the elixir and transforming into an infant, he would feel the joy of breaking through like Li Hongxiu? At this moment, Li Ye was a little confused.
The quietness of winter was disturbed by the chirping of birds that got up early to look for food. At this time, there were also the sounds of Mr. boiling water, the sound of Bai Susu and Mu Mu talking, and Li Ye using his consciousness to hear the roar of wild beasts out in the distance looking for food.
These sounds were like a wonderful piece of piano music, gently echoing in his ears...
What he didn't know was that from the day he left Tianshan, on his endless spiritual path, looking back on the past, only his days in Tianshan were the real happiness in his life.
A kind of happiness that has not yet entered the world, has no desires and desires, and is the unity of nature and man.
...
The flying snow on the Tianshan Mountains drifted into Fengyun City and turned into light snow that could barely cover the blue tiles on the roofs. However, the weather was still cold, and there were icicles under the eaves formed by the condensation of snow into water.
Li Hongxiu, who returned to Fengyun City, stayed in the building for two days. He taught Xiaohong and the girls all the lyrics and music they had learned from his husband and Li Ye in Tianshan, asking them to practice hard and earn more gold coins.
When you meet the one you like, marry yourself off.
When I woke up this morning, I looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky, and thought about the gentlemen on Tianshan Mountain who were probably already huddled in the wooden house, unable to go anywhere, and I couldn't help but feel a different kind of emotion in my heart.
Looking at the baggage on the table, I thought it was time to go to the academy.
Carrying the baggage, I went downstairs, asked Xiaohong to call the carriage, and boarded the carriage with a wave of my hand, leaving two clear wheel marks on the snow-covered street.
After knocking on the door and entering the house, I saw the master and his wife lighting a stove in the tea room, warming themselves and making tea.
When the couple saw Li Hongxiu come in, they were overjoyed, thinking that they finally had news about their son.
The three of them met. Li Hongxiu sat next to the lady, took her hand and handed her the letter written by Li Ye.
Then he pointed to the baggage on the table and said, "These are the mushrooms Li Ye and Mu Mu picked for you in Tianshan Mountain, and some dried meat, which was dried by wild animals that Mr. killed. It's not much, so I'll give it to you to try."
.”
The lady handed the letter to the master, poured hot tea for Li Hongxiu, put it in her hand, and then spoke.
"How is Ye'er's life on the mountain? How is his health? Has his cultivation level improved? Why did Mu Mu come out again? Who is Mu Mu?"
Seeing Madam's anxious look, Li Hongxiu smiled and patted her hand, took a sip from the tea cup and sighed.
He replied: "Don't worry, it's a long story. This time I owe you a lot of favors from Li Ye. This trip to Tianshan was not in vain. My realm has finally been broken after years of hard practice."
If you have a state of mind, you don’t even know what to say.”
The master and his wife were both startled and asked hurriedly: "Ye'er is so talented, how can he help you so much?"
"Don't worry about this. It can't be explained clearly in just a few words. In short, if there is any trouble in the academy in the future, just let me know."
"Ye'er is currently practicing on the mountain with Mr. Ye, and has already broken through several realms. If nothing else happens, by the time he comes down from the mountain, he will at least be practicing at the Golden Core realm. In this way, you and your wife will have to step up your practice.
Sir asked me to bring you some medicinal herbs. You can cook them and drink them some other time. It will be of great help to your practice."
"As for Mumu, she is a little girl Li Ye picked up on the mountain. She is only three years old, but she has already reached the level of Jindan. Why don't you and your wife give him a sister? What's the matter? He is on the mountain by himself now.
I picked up my sister and it’s amazing."
"At such a young age, she actually killed a two-hundred-pound snake. As a result, I owe her a favor and have reached a new level. Oh my, now I owe her two little guys a favor."
"This little girl is so pink. I like her so much. If her master and husband hadn't allowed her, I would have taken her down the mountain to play. If it weren't for the trouble of building a building, I would never want to
Came down the mountain."
Li Hongxiu had been practicing with her husband and Li Ye for a long time. She was already tired of this secular life. She just wanted to practice quickly to catch up with her husband's cultivation. She couldn't live alone in this secular world one day.
"Oh, I didn't expect that Ye'er would have such adventures when he went to Tianshan Mountain with Mr. Bodhisattva. As long as he is well on the mountain, Master and I will be relieved."
Madam held Li Hongxiu's hand, her eyes a little red. Her son had been away from home for a few months, and she couldn't hide her concern as a mother.
After reading the letter, the Master put it on the table and looked at the two of them and said, "Ye'er told me about Mu Mu. The little girl is very cute and obedient. From now on, our family will no longer be deserted."
"Our wife needs to practice harder. When he and his husband go down the mountain, they will prepare better herbs for us to improve our state."
Li Hongxiu took out two more letters from the bag and handed them to his wife.
He patted her hand gently and said: "One of these two letters is for the father of the little fat boy in your academy. It seems that he introduced them to Qingcheng in the Central Region to join the sect and practice, and the other one is for him.
Mrs. Lin from the General's Mansion, you two are close, so I'd rather you take the time to see her."
The lady took the two letters and put them gently on the table in front of her. She turned her head and looked at Li Hongxiu and asked: "How is it? After staying in the mountain for so long this time, the relationship between you and your husband should be resolved, right?
Don't tell me your trip was in vain."
When Li Hongxiu, who was drinking tea, asked his wife this question, his face suddenly turned red and he glared at her angrily.
He said softly: "Well, there seems to be some progress there. In short...I won't look for anyone else in the future."
"That's good, you, you have finally solved your big problem. This is a happy event. I want to celebrate it. Let's have a drink here today. It's rare for you to come here, my wife and I are very happy." Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile.
The master added water to the pot and continued to boil it, and added a few charcoal pieces to the brazier to make the fire more intense. On this snowy day, being able to get together with good friends and have a drink is one of the great joys in life.
.
The master called Agui in and asked him to order the kitchen to prepare more food and wine for lunch, so that he could have a good drink with the host of Hongxiu.
"What are your plans in the future? Are you going to finish the matter after your husband takes Ye'er down the mountain?" Madam chased after Li Hongxiu.
Li Hongxiu held the teacup in her hand, warmed her hands, and stared blankly at the sky outside the teahouse, murmuring.
He said softly: "What else can I do? I will go wherever he goes from now on. If possible, I will leave the owner of the building to Hong'er and the others, and I will follow their masters to travel around the world."
"Also, I heard from my husband that they won't come down the mountain so quickly. If you miss your son, I plan to go back to Tianshan in the spring. You can go with me so that you won't worry about him."
"After going to Tianshan Mountain, I finally figured out that everything in this world is empty in the end. Only being with the people you like and being the people you like is the life you want. Just like you
The husband and wife guard the same academy and live their own romantic life."
"Also, I have to remind you that you should not only step up your practice, but also have another child, whether it's a son or a daughter, to stay with you. Looking at my husband and Li Ye, I won't stay here in this little
Live your life in Fengyun City."
Li Hong talked a lot in her sleeves.
When the master and his wife heard what Li Hongxiu said, they couldn't help but be stunned, wondering if their son no longer wanted his parents?
Seeing the stunned expressions of the two of them, Li Hongxiu couldn't help laughing and said: "This man has ambitions in all directions, not to mention that your Li Ye is not an ordinary man, you don't want to tie him to the academy for the rest of his life, right?
"
"I hear what Mr. Li means. Not to mention Mr. Li will surpass me in the future, even Mr. Li is very likely to be surpassed by him."
Seeing his wife's sad look, the master added hot tea to the two of them, thought for a while and said, "This Fengyun City is too small, I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate Ye'er in the future."
The lady looked at her husband and opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't say a word.
It's not just Fengyun City, it's also the Eastern Region. Even the Central Region can't tolerate the hidden dragon that wants to fly into the sky, right? Li Hongxiu thought to himself.
