When the young monk had no desire to continue asking, Yuan Zhen reached out to hold him and looked at the Master quietly.

"You have been practicing in the mountains for many days. Have you made any breakthrough in this realm?"

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan didn't want to talk about his eyes anymore, the Master changed the topic.

Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand to pour freshly brewed tea for the three of them, and replied quietly: "Fortunately, I have broken through one or two realms, so I can give myself some comfort."

The Master nodded, looked at him and asked, "How did you come back from the mountains?"

"How come I can't come back with Ying'er here?" Li Xiuyuan thought of Qing Ying, and then he realized that this guy had hid under the tree far away and seemed unwilling to chat with the two monks.

Monk Yuanzhen said with emotion: "I can't believe that we just said goodbye in a hurry. The poor monk always wanted to invite the donor to come to Qianfo Temple to practice, but there was a Kingdom of Tianfeng in the middle."

"Master, I am who I am right now, and Tianfeng Kingdom is Tianfeng Kingdom. We don't owe each other anything!"

How could Li Xiuyuan not know what Yuan Zhen meant? So he simply followed his wishes and made it clear.

Hearing what Li Xiuyuan said, Yuan Zhen had the reaction expected by Master Yuan, and asked excitedly: "So the rumors are true? It seems that the Tianfeng Kingdom really can't stand up to the little benefactor."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and replied: "No one can be sorry to anyone. This matter has been in the past for a long time. I am just a handyman in the academy now."

Yuan Zhen looked at Li Xiu Yuan's appearance, sighed, and said sadly: "I didn't expect the benefactor to let go of the cause and effect back then. It seems that you really have deep roots of wisdom."

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and looked at him and said, "My master once told me that there is no right or wrong in this world, only willingness or unwillingness? If I am willing in my heart, let alone two games, it will be three games and five games."

So what?"

"So, what if you don't want to?" Yuan Zhen asked quietly.

"If I feel tired and no longer want to do it, I would rather take a detour even if I pass by your house!"

Li Xiuyuan remained calm, reaching out to add tea to the three people in front of him, and replied softly.

Yuan Zhen was stunned, and said softly: "There are only willing and unwilling. It's interesting, how similar this is to the Buddhist teachings. Donor, you can't see, how can you pour water without overflowing?"

Yuan Zhen watched Jie Xiu Yuan boil water and make tea to entertain the guests, and she couldn't help but want to ask him.

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he replied calmly: "Although my eyes are gone, my heart is still there?"

When Yuan Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Buddha said, whatever you think the world is, that is what you are! How does the donor understand?"

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he smiled and replied: "If you want to obtain the Pure Land, you should purify your mind. If your mind is pure, then the Buddha Land will be pure."

When the master heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Xiuyuan, you can understand this principle by yourself. I remember that there is no explanation of these principles in my collection of books."

When Yuan Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but admired: "For example, someone wants to build a palace in an open space, and there is no hindrance to it. If it is in the void, it will never be possible! It seems that the donor has a natural Buddha nature, so good!"

Li Xiuyuan and the Master quietly replied: "The disciples don't know either. As soon as the master said it, they naturally thought of these words. Am I really a reincarnated person?"

When the master heard this, he glared at him and said with a smile: "I have lived for so long, but I have never met a practitioner who claims to be a reincarnated person."

Yuan Zhen looked at him and said with a smile: "Perhaps the donor is self-sufficient in Buddha nature? Although such a person is rare in ten thousand, it is not unheard of."

Having said this, Li Xiuyuan had to look at Yuan Zhen and smile bitterly: "Master, I am a Taoist priest. I can draw charms to ward off evil spirits. I will not become a monk."

Yuan Zhen looked at Li Xiu Yuan and thought for a while, and then replied after pondering for a long time: "Practice Taoism and Buddhism are all for the purpose of conquering demons, so there is no harm in each having his or her own practice."

The Master frowned, seeming to be thinking about what the two of them had said, and after a long time he said: "There is no fixed time to practice. Just as you can practice in the academy, you can also practice in the mountains."

The selfless little monk chuckled and continued: "I understand, just like what the master said, anyone who is a monk at home can practice Buddhism, but their methods are different."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhen shouted: "What are you talking about? You haven't even reached the threshold of Buddhism yet, yet you dare to speak out and instruct others to practice! Don't you want to mislead others into practicing?"

When the young monk heard this, he quickly stopped his voice and stared blankly at Yuan Zhen and Li Xiu Yuan without saying anything.

Yuan Zhen lowered his head and thought again and again, then looked at Li Xiu Yuan and said: "The Shura Domain is so big, I didn't expect that the person who could write a couplet to me in the end would be the little benefactor. I really admire him very much."

"When I came on this trip, I wanted to ask my little benefactor to go with me to Qianfo Temple to practice for a few days, but it seems to be inconvenient at the moment. When the benefactor regains his sight in the future, I hope to come and get together."

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he smiled and replied: "If my eyesight recovers one day, I will definitely go to Silver Moon Kingdom to meet the master, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, and I will also go to see the outside world."

"A person who has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles has no self. You should remember this sentence carefully in the future. Cultivation is a long road, and there are many truths that no one may tell you."

Yuan Zhen looked at his disciple and said seriously.

"Disciple understands that I will ask donor Li for advice tomorrow." Wuwo and Li Xiuyuan joined hands and saluted.

Li Xiuyuan sighed softly and replied calmly: "I think when I came down from Luoxia Mountain and wanted to go to more places to see more of the world, I was caught by the bandits at the bottom of the mountain and sold as fat sheep...

....”

When the Master heard this, he looked at him and asked, "I understand what you mean. You must have the ability to protect yourself even if you travel thousands of miles!"

Li Xiuyuan then replied to Yuan Zhen: "When I am able to protect myself and start my journey of thousands of miles, I will go to Qianfo Temple to disturb the master's practice."

Yuan Zhen smiled: "Then I will wait for the donor to come. Tao and Buddha are connected."

Li Xiuyuan stared blankly at the tea cup in his hand, pondered for a while, and then replied: "They say tea is a Zen thing, but actually I prefer tea to be tasteless."

Yuan Zhen chuckled and did not answer.

The master's heart was moved, and he looked at Yuan Zhen and asked tentatively: "Don't Buddhists always emphasize tea and Zen? Come to think of it... the words of my little disciple can't enter your artistic conception?"

Yuan Zhen looked at the two of them but his expression remained unchanged, and he praised: "Because what the donor said has gone beyond the monk's understanding, even I don't know how to reason with him."

"How should I say it?" The Master looked at him and asked reluctantly.

Yuan Zhen glanced at Li Xiuyuan and said softly: "Everyone in the world says that if I don't go to hell in Buddhism, who will go to hell? But everyone is wrong. If you don't have the intention to become a Buddha, even if you go to hell, you will only become

Fierce ghost!"

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he said silently: "Hell will never be empty, and it is undesirable for the world!"

When Yuan Zhen heard this, he couldn't help being frightened. He looked at Li Xiuyuan blankly and said, "Hell is not empty, and the world is undesirable!?"

"What a hell, it's never empty. For thousands of years, people in the world have only known suffering and asking for help from the Buddha. When have they ever given sincerely? Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading scriptures. It's so good."

"This is a sad thing. It is not desirable for the world and can be abandoned by the world! But neither Buddhism nor Taoism has ever given up on the world! This is also the sadness of Buddha and Taoism!"

Li Xiuyuan looked at the two remaining pieces of tea at the bottom of the cup and said quietly.

The master looked at Yuan Zhen and said with a smile: "Only a disciple like me can have a few words with the great monk. How can fools like us understand so many truths?"

"Every life is bitter!" Yuan Zhen looked at the Master and said quietly.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said calmly: "Maybe they enjoy it and don't feel that they are suffering."

When Yuan Zhen heard this, he immediately didn't know how to reply. This question was big or small, and I'm afraid even the presiding master of Qianfo Temple couldn't answer it completely.

"I heard that your left leg was injured by someone. I brought some gold trauma medicine. I wonder if it can cure the donor's disease?"

Yuan Zhen changed the subject. He came here to treat Li Xiu Yuan's left leg.

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't worry, let it be like this for now. Maybe one day my eyes will be able to see, and this leg injury will heal naturally."

The master glanced at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "I brought some dishes from the kitchen. The fat elder asked me to bring them to the mountain specifically to thank you for the wine."

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "The fat elder knows that my legs, feet and eyesight are inconvenient... It seems that I will give him two more jars next year."

Yuan Zhen was overjoyed when he heard this, rubbed his hands and asked, "Does the donor know how to make wine? This is a difficult craft to learn!"

"This is what my old Taoist master taught me. If you don't mind, let's have a drink together."

While he was talking, Li Xiuyuan got up and went back to the house, took out a jar of wine, put it on the table and patted it open. Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine spread under the eaves.

The master waved to the green eagle under the tree and said with a smile: "Eagle, come here and have a drink. I'll see how greedy you are..."

When Qingying heard this, she flapped her wings and ran over. She thought the two monks were here and was afraid of causing trouble to the Master, so she deliberately hid under the tree and kept silent.

The master took out the food prepared by Fat Chang Cong, Yuan Zhen took the wine jar and poured wine for all living beings, Qing Ying sat down next to Li Xiu Yuan and whispered in his ear.

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he immediately glared at her and said with a smile: "How dare you say such nonsense?"

When Qingying heard this, he turned his head and chuckled.

The master served Li Xiuyuan some food, looked at him and asked, "How do you feel today?"

Li Xiuyuan replied seriously: "It's not bad. I can see a little further than before and it's a little clearer."

Yuan Zhen didn't understand, so she looked at him and asked, "What color is it? What does it look like?"

Li Xiu thought to himself that you don't believe me. After thinking for a while, he calmly replied: "What color is it? Can it be said that the master can't see it? As for what it looks like? Isn't it just what you see?"

Yuanzhen looked at Li Xiuyuan under the eaves, frowned slowly, and said softly: "So, what Master said is true, are you really blind?!"

Li Xiuyuan was silent for a moment and then replied: "Doesn't Buddhism say you should not lie? Although I am not a Buddhist disciple, I understand this truth. Don't you understand it, Master?"

Yuan Zhen's frown gradually relaxed. Looking at Li Xiuyuan in front of him, this guy had exceeded his best imagination.

As soon as Xiu Xiuyuan picked up the bowl and chopsticks, he stopped talking and looked at the white rice in the bowl.

Yuan Zhen looked at Li Xiu Yuan who was silent and asked the Master, "Don't you want a drink, little benefactor?"

"Ignore him, my disciple likes to be able to make wine but not to drink. Come and let's have a drink."

The master picked up the wine glass and said to Yuan Zhen.

Qingying also held the wine glass he had followed Guan, lowered his head and took a sip, and then made a sound of satisfaction.

The Master gently stroked the white beard on his chin and looked at her lovingly, and said with a smile: "It's strange that that guy doesn't like drinking, but you are a greedy guy."

Qingying didn't know how to answer, so he had to lower his head and look at Li Xiuyuan.

But Li Xiuyuan is a guy who eats and sleeps without saying a word. How can he fully understand her acting coquettishly?

"Such wine can only be drunk in the academy. When I went to Tianfeng Kingdom to meet the little benefactor for the first time, I had never drunk such a fine wine." Yuan Zhen said with emotion.

The Master looked at him and said: "It's rare that Master likes it. When you leave, I will give you an urn."

"Thank you so much. It's such a nice bottle of wine."

Qingying looked at Li Xiuyuan who was lowering his head to eat and smiled: "It must be the best wine in the world!"
