Chapter 61: That year I cut the wind and snow into ice flowers
Mr. 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 the bamboo leaves.
He and Mu Mu picked bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest for two hours, put a large bag, and Mu Mu's bracelet also contained a lot of them in the space.
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 word on it no matter what.
The bamboo leaves are thin and slippery. With a little force, they either prick or pierce. Mu Mu took out his knife and tried to carve it. Before he could finish the stroke, he pierced the back of the leaves.
The two of them had been tossing for a long time but still couldn't. Mu Mu pouted and got angry. She left Li Ye alone outside the house to continue practicing, and went to play with the master himself.
Bai Susu naturally had no choice but to deal with Mu Mu. After all, she was only over three years old and could not control it too strictly.
After Li Ye built the foundation realm, he could feel the breath of heaven and earth. In the words of his master, he could use the power of heaven and earth to practice.
Then, no matter whether he uses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the Tianshan Mountains, the indestructible power of the Vajra in "The Unformed Dharma Body", or the hardness and soft power of "The Tiger and Arhat Fist", the wooden sword in his hand cannot carve even the simplest strokes on the thin bamboo leaves.
Thinking of what the gentleman said, it is indeed much more difficult to carve scriptures on the leaves than to be on the stone wall.
Li Ye did not carve the bamboo leaves as before, what he needed was invincible power, and no matter how powerful it was, it could not be completed.
He was thinking about whether he should use a gentle method, just as the teacher said, "Pushing is light and what is light and what is light and what is light and heavy." This is the only way to practice, and he wants to try it."
"If lifting heavy weight is strength and speed, then if lifting light weight is a method." Li Ye closed his eyes and pondered, trying hard to understand the light texture of lifting heavy weight when he carved scriptures on the stone wall.
"Or, this method is also an explosion of true qi in the body?" Li Ye's inspiration flashed. With his current seventh level of foundation building, the true qi in his body is like a small river. In the state of lifting heavy weights, he can already achieve the true qi not dissipating and continuously carving scriptures on the stone wall.
Through the understanding of carving scriptures, we understand that the so-called practice is actually a method of moving the true qi in the dantian.
Just like a basin of water, it can withstand a small piece of wood; but a lake can withstand a big tree; but if it is a river, it can carry a boat.
They are all water and wood, but the amount and size are different, so the power they can carry is naturally different.
And if you lift it lightly or heavyly, it is like a basin carrying a small piece of wood. Once you master it, it is equivalent to stepping into this realm.
Li Ye closed his eyes and thought for a long time. He waved his hand and grabbed a bamboo leaf on the ground, quietly pinched it in his hand, gently stroked the lines on the leaves, and felt its carrying power.
If you don’t work once, you will have ten times, if you don’t work ten times, you will have hundreds,... thousands of times.
Li Ye didn't know how many times he tried it, but the bamboo leaves he picked up with Mu Mu were destroyed by him. In desperation, he had to run out to pick up some bamboo leaves again.
"There is a chance!" Li Ye's hands were worn out by the bamboo leaves, and the blood was visible, but he was excited. He looked down at the bamboo leaves pinching in his hand, and saw the neatly-shaped word "一" was slightly carved on it.
For this reason, he had been practicing day and night for three days, his eyes were covered in blood, but he was still practicing by the woods.
Mu Mu brought food for him these three days. In her words, my brother was already crazy about training.
What exactly is practice considered practice?
Three days of sleeplessness made him exhaust all the true energy in his body. Once it was loose, he would be as weak as a ball that was breathless.
That night, after dinner, Li Ye went into the hole early to rest, lying alone on the soft animal skin. Although he was too tired, he couldn't fall asleep.
But he was thinking about the young lady Wushuang thousands of miles away. He knew that her realm was much lower than her, but he also had to practice swords on this leaf. He didn't know how much suffering she had to suffer and how much grievance she suffered.
I also thought about Dongfang Yuer from Sifang City, and I wonder what level she has reached now when she practices "Qingluan Ningzhu".
The parents at the foot of the mountain smiled kindly, and Fatty Tang didn’t know how much weight loss was? Hu Ge and her sister Xiaoju should start school now, and they didn’t know how much poetry and prose were learned in the academy. The martial arts practice reached the level of gathering energy.
I thought about it all, but finally fell asleep.
He had a dream all night and was the first to wake up. He looked up at the faint morning light shot from the entrance of the cave on the stone wall, crawled out of the quilt, and walked out of the cave with a gentle step.
Before he could walk out of the cave, a cold air came to his face.
In just a moment, in front of him was a white world, and the breath of heaven and earth slowly flowed between the snow peaks and the black mountains between the Tianshan Mountains.
The animal leather boots worn by Li Ye stepped on the thick snow, making a squeaking sound. He took the wooden sword in his hand and walked around the wooden house and went to the edge of the cedar forest.
As for the vast Tianshan Mountains, which were like a sea of snow, I felt a true energy in my chest gushing out, and I wanted to roar loudly at the peaks outside the cliff.
The true meaning of "The Unformed Dharma Body" was circulated in the dantian. His body sank slightly, he stole his horse, waved his right hand, and the gesture of "Fuhu Luohan Fist" cut out the wooden sword in his hand, using the intention of fist to transform the intention of sword, and slashed towards the cedar holding thick snowflakes outside the cliff...
The black wooden sword in his hand shone out a sword light and slashed on the cedar outside the cliff. With a wave of his hand, the sword in his hand was inserted into the snow.
He began to practice "Fuhu Luohan Fist" carefully, and saw a layer of white air flow surrounding his thin body, sandwiched with a faint golden light, and the snowflakes flying all over the sky could no longer fly to him.
The snow on the ground by the woods was flying beside him, and in a short while, a piece of snow-stick stone slab was exposed on the ground.
It took him a lot of time to slowly stop his fist and look at the smooth ground and cedars beside him. Within his eyes, the snow of the cedars gradually turned into water.
The water droplets wet the pine needles gathered on the branches and finally condensed into a crystal water droplet, which quickly condensed into ice in the cold mountain wind.
Just as the drops of water hanging on the branches freeze into ice, the sword energy between the wind wrapped the fist wind without letting the water droplets condense into a circle, then they bloomed one by one.
It seemed as if it had been carefully carved with a sword, turned into ice drops into ice flowers, completing the nirvana of their lives, and bloomed several beautiful ice flowers on the branches of cedars.
Li Ye quietly looked at the ice flowers shaking gently in the wind on the branches, and exuded a strange light under the refraction of the light, which was very magical.
He wanted to reach out to touch the ice flowers on the tree, but after thinking about it, he stopped.
The thin little face did not show a proud face, but said lightly: "I did not complete the task taught by the teacher, but instead turned the ice and snow into ice flowers, but I still had a little bit of effort."
He stood quietly in the snow, and for a moment the flying snow all over the sky dyed his body white. A layer of snowflakes were accumulated again on the cleared ground.
On the day when Li Hongxiu broke the elixir and became an infant, he thought he would break through to the late stage of the seventh level of foundation building like her. He did not expect that his true energy would be a little worse after all, and he did not complete the breakthrough.
Just now, he felt like he was about to turn into a cocoon and become a butterfly. "It's only a little bit, only a little bit." He murmured gently at the snowflakes in the sky.
Li Ye was thinking about his worries, but he didn't know that his husband had been standing under the eaves and staring at him for a long time.
Since he swung the sword, the gentleman had already come out of the hole and arrived in front of the wooden house.
Looking at Li Ye's sword energy, the fist wind turned the snowflakes into ice, and then cut the ice into ice flowers, the gentleman was also amazed.
He had never taught Li Ye's sword technique, but just asked him to practice the most basic skills of sword technique seriously. It was really unexpected that he had achieved this step based on his own understanding.
"Since I have put away my sword, come back and cook tea to warm it up." The gentleman shouted to the dazed Li Ye, then returned to lift the curtain and entered the house.
After shouting to the husband, Li Ye returned to his senses, stepped on the snow, carried the sword, and returned to the front of the house.
He waved his little hand to pat the snowflakes stuck to his body and entered the house.
The stove in front of Mr. has already risen.
Looking at the burning stove, Li Ye asked softly: "Sir, I feel like I want to break through just now. Should I continue or press on? I thought I could break through the situation when Master Li broke through."
The gentleman added water to the pot, took out the tea cup, and poured out some tea leaves. "It's the same as before, don't deliberately break through, and don't suppress it."
Li Ye threw the bamboo leaves that were carved yesterday into the burning stove, and suddenly a bamboo fragrance wafted around the room.
Smelling the bamboo fragrance all over the room, Li Ye remembered what happened yesterday and looked at his husband and said, "Sir, I spent some effort yesterday and tried to combine "The Unformed Dharma Body" and "The Tiger and Arhat Fist", but in the end I can't carve the words on this leaf."
"Once you set out on the long road of cultivation, you can't turn back. You understand this principle. You start practicing very quickly and you have not spent much effort to build the foundation. According to the current situation, you are going to go to the Golden Pill Realm again."
"But the more you get, the harder the road to not practicing is. Just like how many months it takes you to carve letters on the stone wall, and the Golden Elixir Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm are even more of a threshold on the path of cultivation, and it is extremely difficult to break the elixir and turn into a baby. You think that you can carve the bamboo leaves into scriptures in a day or two, but you don't know that some people can't even spend their entire lives."
"Perseverance and patience are indispensable. You must remind yourself all the time. When you break the elixir and turn into a baby like Hongxiu, you will reach that moment of breaking the realm, and every time you can advance to a level of one level, you will be moved or even intoxicated."
"But if you are intoxicated by that time, then your path of cultivation will almost end! There is no end to practice. Even Mu Mu's master is now at the eighth level of tribulation, and she still has to feel the energy of the world at all times and find her own opportunity to break through this world."
Buddhism has a distance and a realm for practice. Li Ye's current "The Dharma Body of No Form" has reached the fourth level and is already a realm of realm. As long as he breaks another realm, he will go towards the realm of realm of no distance and no realm.
The gentleman poured a cup of the boiled tea for Li Ye, poured it on himself, picked up the cup, and blew the heat. There was a bamboo fragrance in the room with the fragrance of tea, and the warm time was revealed in the mist.
"I just saw you practicing boxing in the snow. After running your "No Formless Dharma Body", the wind and snow can no longer invade your body. If you break another realm, you reach the fifth level of "No Formless Dharma Body", the wind and rain will not be able to break your Dharma Body. This state is a state where many people can't even practice in their dreams."
"You just encounter a little setback in practicing swordsmanship now and want to be discouraged. It's really not necessary!"
Li Ye took the hot tea poured by his husband and took a slight sip. He felt warm all over his body, and a heat flowed down into his stomach.
The gentleman smiled and said, "How is it? Today's tea is different from usual? It's cold and I put a slice of ginger and cooked it in a pot. Naturally, you will feel hot. The same is true on the road of cultivation. You must learn to be unrestrained. As long as it suits your own practice method, it is the best."
Li Ye nodded and looked at his husband and said, "Sir, I just took a closer look. You can turn the ice and snow condensed by snowflakes into ice flowers. Is this also a way to practice?"
"Your boxing skills are almost complete. When you practice the punching posture, you will be perfect. Go wash water, rice and cook porridge. Mu Mu and her master should wake up." The gentleman told Li Ye that no matter how you practice, you still have to eat this rice.
Li Ye happily carried the wooden barrel and iron pot out of the wooden house to the entrance of the cave. He was happy on this morning when it was snowing heavily.
Not only was his unintentional practice able to peel out ice flowers, but it was also because of his first affirmation of his kung fu.
There is no order in the hearing of the Tao, and what he is talking about is the present.
