That night, many more apes came to listen to Li Ye's chanting than usual, and the descendants of the old apes were crowded outside the cave.

Ever since the old ape listened to the sutras and became a Taoist, I want my descendants to come to the cave to listen to the sutras. The fate accumulated over thousands of years will not be wasted easily.

There are more wolves tonight than in the past. It should be Xiaobai who told the old wolf and the ape the strange things about enlightenment and Taoism last night.

According to ancient legends, on a full moon night, if a wolf hears the sutra and understands the Dharma, he will be able to enter the Tao.

The true energy in Li Ye's body was washed over and over again by the water of the Tianshan Mountain Glacier. It recovered much faster than before after losing strength. Before the moon rose, he was resurrected with full blood and regained his usual energy.

He sat on the floor where Poxu had meditated that day. The futon he was meditating on had turned into ashes. Unexpectedly, Poxu had expected this day and actually prepared something for him in his precepts.

Looking at the shadow of Poxu Monk that has gradually disappeared on the blue stone wall, I wonder if the day I leave, my own shadow will also be left on this wall.

Thinking of the sentient beings outside the cave, I calmed down my mind, sat down in the lotus position, and began to chant the sutra every day:

...

If in the future life there is a good man or good woman, either for political reasons, for public or private reasons, for life or death, or for emergencies, they go into the mountains and forests, cross rivers and seas, or even big water, or pass through dangerous roads. Such people should first remember the place.

The Bodhisattva's name has been repeated thousands of times, and the land he passes through is protected by ghosts and gods. He walks, stands, sits and lies down, and is safe and happy forever. Even if he encounters tigers, wolves and lions, all poisons and poisons cannot harm him.

...

At midnight, after reciting sutras for the first time, I walked out of the cave.

Because he slept more during the day, he felt better than usual at night. He wanted to lie on the bamboo chair and look at the moon over the Tianshan Mountains.

The old ape had already led his children and grandchildren away and went to his cave.

On the edge of the woods not far outside the cave, Xiaobai was having fun with the old wolf.

Standing on the stone platform and looking at the moon, Li Ye saw the old wolf under the moon for the first time.

The old wolf doting on Xiao Bai by the woods saw Li Ye under the moon.

Li Ye thought about whether to get off the stone platform and talk to Lao Lang for a few words.

The old wolf thought about whether to go outside the cave to thank Li Ye for saving the little wolf.

Xiaobai, who was having fun, saw Li Ye looking at him, howled a few times, bit the old wolf's leg and pulled him towards the cave.

The old wolf looked down at Xiaobai with a kind expression. Then he let go and ran towards the cave, Xiaobai whining behind him.

Li Ye stood on the edge of the cliff, quietly watching the old wolf and the young wolf running over, thinking about how to communicate with it.

What he didn't expect was that the old wolf who approached him opened his mouth gently like an old ape: "Hello! Young man, I have seen you many times?"

Li Ye was stunned for a long time before he remembered to reply. "Senior, are you like the old ape? You also practice Taoism and can speak human language?"

Although the body of the old wolf under the moonlight was not as majestic as that of the old ape, it was still more than twice the size of the wolves he had seen. His gray hair shone faintly in the moonlight.

The old wolf's face was quiet and kind. He looked at the surprised Li Ye and said, "I have met Mr. Xiao since the first night you chanted sutras in the valley, and I was grateful to you for taking in the injured Xiao Bai that night.

."

After coming back to his senses, Li Ye cupped his fist in front of Lao Lang in greeting, pointed at the bamboo chair and said, "Senior, please sit down."

"Buddha said that all living beings are equal, there is no distinction between religions, everything has animism, and it is possible for everyone to become a Buddha. Since the elders are devoted to the Buddha, the younger ones are naturally willing to fulfill it. Just like the old ape Guan at the foot of the mountain, he heard the Tao and realized it in one day.

, enter the Tao, and hope to attain the Great Way.”

Old Wolf jumped on the recliner, and Xiaobai ran over and lay in Li Ye's arms, listening to their chat with his ears raised.

The old wolf looked at Li Ye and asked the same question that the old ape asked before: "When I first met the little gentleman, he was a handsome and handsome young man. Now he has become like this after being struck by lightning. I don't know what the little gentleman is thinking."

How do you feel?"

Looking at the old wolf lying on the bamboo chair, Li Ye said with a smile: "Mr. I will definitely not believe it. Mr. Running, a junior, has only practiced for less than three years. Although he has learned some Buddhism from the old monk of the Great Buddha Temple, he has only

Once you have reached the realm of lifeless people in cultivation, you still have tens of thousands of miles to go before you can enter the Tao."

"The gentleman who taught me how to practice also told me that there is no need to rush my practice. If I want to practice my state of mind, I should focus on cultivating my state of mind when I enter Tianshan Mountain. I met Senior Lao Yuan a few days ago and got some Buddhist teachings. I was able to break through the realm and enter the golden elixir.

."

"My physical appearance changed due to being struck by lightning when I was crossing the tribulation. I was originally filled with inexplicable grief and anger. After entering the golden elixir, I had a chance encounter with the Buddhist teachings of the seniors in the cave. I figured out some principles and was able to enter Taoism."

"Just like the seniors, who have been cultivating Taoism for hundreds of years, all they want is to be like the old ape Guan at the foot of the mountain. They just hope that one day they will attain Taoism and be able to abandon this beast's body and be able to transform and break through the void."

"In the eyes of the younger generation, the elders can achieve enlightenment even if they don't change their form. Buddhism says: There is no self, no person, no sentient being, and no lifespan. This is the truth. Although the elders have animal bodies, in the eyes of the younger generation,

There is not much difference from us humans. This is the principle of having the appearance of sentient beings and the appearance of non-sentient beings.”

"Later, when I was reciting sutras in the cave, I thought about it. Could it be that I was struck black by a thunder calamity, and I will not be able to enter the Tao in this life? Do I have to enter the Tao as a human being? Then what should I pursue without boundary, without distance?"

There was a "boom", like thunder flying past my ears, and the old wolf collapsed on the bamboo chair, with tears streaming down his face, just like the old ape that night.

"It turns out that I was just like the old ape at the bottom of the mountain. We were all wrong. We were all striving to take off this animal skin in order to enter the Tao. Unexpectedly, all living beings have spirits and can enter the Tao. Why should we care whether it is a human body or an animal body?"

The old wolf muttered to himself.

After jumping off the bamboo chair, Old Wolf knelt down on the bluestone floor and kowtowed three times to Li Ye respectfully.

Then he stood up, raised his head, and howled several times toward the moon on Tianshan Mountain.

Turning around, he jumped on the bamboo chair again, looked at Li Ye and Xiao Bai, and said softly: "You can't believe how old you are when you hear Taoism. I never thought that Mr. Xiao could already join Taoism at such an age. I have to hear Mr. Xiao preach tonight, let me

The old wolf saw the threshold of the avenue and had the possibility of entering."

Then he looked at Xiaobai in Li Ye's arms and said: "Let Xiaobai practice with you from now on. His parents are not in this world either. He should come from another starry sky. I also picked it up in the snow on Tianshan Mountain.

of."

"I originally thought of letting it follow me in practice. Now that it has met Mr., and has the supreme Buddha Dharma to protect it, I will ask Mr. to take it with me in the future, so that it can practice and enter the Tao as soon as possible, and one day I can go back to find it.

biological parents."

Old Wolf looked at Xiaobai with a loving expression on his face.

After hearing what Lao Erlang said, Xiaobai whimpered and shed tears in his eyes.

It also didn't expect that its parents were not under the starry sky this time, and that it came from another world.

He lowered his head and stuck out his tongue to lick Li Ye's little hand, as if to say: You will never abandon me in the future.

Li Ye was also stunned. He already knew that Mu Mu and Xiao Qing came from another starry sky, but he didn't expect that Xiao Bai beside him also came from there.

He reached out and touched the shiny white hair on Xiaobai's back, and murmured: "Don't worry, as long as you don't run away, I will never leave you."

There were tears in Lao Lang's eyes. He looked at Xiao Bai and Li Ye and said, "The young gentleman is compassionate and has good thoughts. He will definitely reap good results in the future due to the good deeds he has done today."

Li Ye thought for a while, looked at Old Wolf and said, "Senior, I promised you that I would stay here for a year and chant sutras for everyone here. If you have any questions about Buddhism, you can feel free to ask at any time."

Come and ask me, and I will answer your questions one by one as long as you answer them."

"As for this junior, once he leaves Tianshan, he may soon follow my husband to practice at Fangcun Mountain in the Xixuan Region. I don't know how long it will take to come back."

Old Lang nodded and said: "Lao Lang, Xiao Bai and Mr. Little are all blessed with a rare chance of a thousand years. I tell my children and grandchildren to cherish this year and practice Buddhism with Mr. Little."

"During this year, if Mr. Xiao encounters any problems, just tell Xiao Bai and let him tell me. As long as I can solve it, I will solve it for Mr. Xiao."

Li Ye quickly clasped his fists and thanked Lao Lang.

Seeing that it was getting late, the old wolf jumped off the bamboo chair, said goodbye to Li Ye, and rushed towards the woods on the stone cliff.

Xiaobai watched the old wolf leave and howled a few times. He lowered his head and continued to sleep in Li Ye's arms.

Watching the old wolf leave, Li Ye also sat on the bamboo chair, lay back, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

That night he did not sleep peacefully as usual. During the day in the river, he learned some sword principles of stabbing, counterattacking, cutting horizontally, and slashing backwards. At this time, he needed to slowly understand.

Using this sword, it is really indestructible. Now I understand why my husband said that I will get myself an epee in the future. It turns out that this is the reason.

Only a heavy sword can block the turbulent river, otherwise the sword skills learned cannot be fully used.

When you practice an ordinary sharp sword to the end, you may not be able to withstand your physical body and the realm you will reach in the future. As long as you use it in the river a few more times, the sword will break long before the strength is exerted.

While thinking about how to practice swordsmanship, I also thought about my husband. Could it be that he thought that he was too young now and could not wield the heavy sword, so he asked me to practice the wooden sword first?

Or is it that your husband is afraid that he will not be able to comprehend the profound swordsmanship, so he deliberately turns the profound swordsmanship into simple principles and requires you to practice it repeatedly?

From the time I started to practice "The Formless Dharmakaya", it seemed that there was no profound method. It was only through my continuous and painstaking practice that I was able to achieve breakthroughs in my realm. It seems that the same is true when I reach the realm of the golden elixir today.

Thinking, thinking, I finally fell asleep.

...

The next day he slept in, and only opened his eyes after three strokes in the day.

Xiaobai in his arms was nowhere to be found. He probably didn't wake up, so he was so hungry that he ran to find something to eat.

Looking at the fruits on the stone table next to the chair, I thought that the old ape had asked his descendants to bring them up again in the morning.

At that moment, he took two of them to eat, and while eating, he carried the iron sword and walked to the river outside the woods.

He doesn't practice boxing now, and wants to save his strength to deal with the fast river water.

He sat by the river, looking at the water flowing down from the Tianshan Mountains, thinking that there had not yet been a flash flood. If the heavy rain in summer came, the power would be even more terrifying. He wanted to save his own life before the flash flood came.

Strength increases.

While nibbling on the fruit, I thought about the feeling I had when I was standing in the water yesterday, that kind of power that I could not fully use. The sword I thrust out clearly reached the side of the small fish, but could not touch their scales.

If you are not careful, you will take a mouthful of cold river water. The river at this time is a small stream. Waiting for the flash flood to come, it will be more violent than the water of the big river.

He couldn't help but whisper softly: The water of the great river comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return.

He sat quietly by the stream and concentrated, circulating the elixir energy in his Dantian, watching the fish swimming in the stream, and jumped into the cold river water with his feet.

He felt slightly better today than yesterday. After rushing out of the middle of the river, he drank the river water without being surprised.

Just like yesterday, I pushed my feet hard into the stones in the river, stabilized my body, and then used the "Phaseless Dharmakaya" to gather the power of the physical body and the alchemy in my right arm. The iron sword in my hand slowly thrust out, towards

Happy fish in the river.

Today I stayed in the river for a little more than an hour, but I couldn't hold on any longer, so I finally dragged my body back to the shore.

Lie on the pebbles heated by the sun, close your eyes and relax.

Xiaobai ran back from nowhere, holding a fat hare in his mouth, and lay down next to him.

After practicing in the river for more than an hour, my strength, which was almost exhausted, slowly recovered.

He was overjoyed. He didn't expect that while practicing swordplay in the river, he could practice his alchemy at the same time. While practicing swordsmanship, his alchemy power had improved quite a bit.

I couldn't help being surprised and happy, thinking about taking a rest and going down to the river to practice for a while.

Although his body is a bit thin, every muscle seems to have the strength and defense of steel. If he goes all out, he wonders if he can survive a few moves in the hands of Li Hongxiu in the Nascent Soul Realm.

defeat.

As for Mu Mu, I'm afraid he is no longer his opponent.

Only the unfathomable Xiao Qing was thinking about finding a chance to test her realm and power, and whether she could really abuse herself like a dog, as she said.

Xiaobai looked at him and roared twice. If he wanted to practice swordsmanship, he should go quickly. After peeling the rabbit, wash it and save it for roasting in the evening.

After eating rice for several days, he got a little greedy.
