Chapter 7: The day does not understand the darkness of the night

When Li Ye and Agui returned to the academy, the husband was washing vegetables. Li Ye and Agui hurriedly stepped forward to take the husband's basket and quickly washed vegetables and cooked.

After a while, two dishes and one soup were served on the table and rice bowls. Li Ye was about to ask questions, but the gentleman hit Li Ye on the head with chopsticks and said, "Don't eat or sleep, aren't you a sign of practicing with the old monk? Start now."

Li Ye wanted to reply, but he was chopsticked again.

Agui wanted to laugh but didn't dare. Just as he was about to smile with the bowl, his husband also gave Agui a chopstick and said, "Don't leave the dining table when eating. This is also practice, and it will be like this from today on."

After saying that, the gentleman handed the bowl to Li Ye and pointed to the bowl containing the soup.

Li Ye quickly took the husband's bowl and thought to himself that serving soup to the husband is also a practice.

The three of them were speechless. After lunch, Agui cleaned up the dishes and went to wash.

The master and apprentice returned to the hall to sit down. Li Ye washed his hands, lit a stick of incense, started boiling water, and cooked tea for the teacher.

"What did Master Kuchan say today?" The gentleman looked at Li Ye.

Li Ye was holding up the kettle and adding water. After thinking for a while, he replied, "The master taught me what I am like. He accepted the disciples and gave him a Dharma name called: Wuchen."

The gentleman half closed his eyes, smelled the fragrance lit by Li Ye, clapped his hands and said, "It is not born or destroyed, neither dirty nor clean, that is, it is dust-free. It is very good."

"How do you want to practice?"

Li Ye served tea to his husband, sat down, and replied, "Mr., Master asked me to come back and hold water, three bowls of water, one bowl on his head, and one bowl on his shoulders. When will the water not sprinkle outside when you walk, and then go see him again."

The gentleman picked up the teacup, blew, took a sip, put down the cup and said, "The great monk has been practicing Buddhism for a long time and has saved countless people. You must follow him seriously to practice."

Looking at Li Ye's dazed look, he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, there are a few bowls made of black iron in the cabinet in my study. I asked someone to make some to offer them to the monks of the Great Buddha Temple, and a few more, please take them to practice."

Li Ye quickly praised him and thanked Mr.

The gentleman looked at Li Ye who was cooking tea and sighed: "It is rare that you have formed a relationship with the old monk in the Great Buddha Temple today, bring the piano of your master and play the piano for your master to celebrate."

After hearing this, Li Ye was so happy that he wanted to run to the piano room to get the piano. Unexpectedly, the gentleman took the bamboo strip and slapped Li Ye's leg that he wanted to run, and taught him a lesson: "Walk well, why are you panic?"

Li Ye felt nervous, and thought to himself that Mr. He also knew how to practice, why did he ask the old monk to teach me? He went to the piano room honestly and moved the xylophone out and put it on the table.

He turned around and asked Agui to come over and cleanse his hands.

The gentleman cleaned his hands and sat in front of the piano platform and said to Li Ye: "You have been learning the piano with me for so long. When will you play a song for me?"

Li Ye's little face was bitter and replied: "Sir, since I learned the piano with you, I first learned to cook tea and fetch water, and I had to learn to walk. I really didn't have many days when I was learning the piano, and I didn't have the true teachings of my teacher, so I dare not show my ugly words."

The gentleman looked at Li Ye and was speechless, thinking why did he accept such an apprentice?

Sitting quietly for a while, the gentleman gently stroked the strings of the piano with his hands. The sound of the piano flowed out of the strings, passed through the hall, straight through the bamboo forest, floating outside the wall, floating into the street, and passing by pedestrians stopped and listened...

Li Ye also sat in front of the tea table, stopped cooking tea, listened carefully to the gentleman's piano music, and wanted to find a secret from it, hoping to break through the realm of practice.

Agui didn't know the rhythm, but he moved an orange in front of the hall and sat down to listen to the teacher's rare heavenly sound.

When Li Ye heard the sound of Mr.'s piano, he chanted the six-character mantra in his heart. The burning fragrance passed by the tea table, and there was a faint Buddha light spreading from behind Li Ye...

The afternoon sun passed by, reflected on the gentleman's piano, shining on Li Ye. I couldn't tell which Buddha light was or which sunlight was. Agui couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he looked at the young master's appearance.

Li Ye closed his eyes and chanted the scriptures lightly, listening to the gentleman's heavenly sound in his ears. The true energy in his meridians was flowing, but a heart had already flown above the nine heavens and flew to the fullest.

The water in the bucket is full again.

After the song was finished, the gentleman stopped and looked at Li Ye who was still in enlightenment, and thought to himself: How many days has this kid built his foundation? Is he going to break the realm again?

After the incense on the tea table burned out, the Buddha light on Li Ye's body flashed. For a moment, Li Ye opened his eyes and looked at the gentleman in a daze.

The gentleman's eyes were joy, and he smiled at Li Ye's stupid look. He said, "After just a few days, you have broken through the realm again? You must know that others are anxious to upgrade and get through the barrier, but you are practicing too fast, so this won't work."

Li Ye, who came to his senses, looked at his husband and smiled foolishly: "Sir, I listened to your piano and thought about the scriptures. My mind couldn't stop flying into the sky. I couldn't stop the true energy in these meridians, and I broke the realm."

The gentleman said speechlessly, "Cook water quickly, you are still waiting for tea." Afterwards, he asked, "Now are you in the second level of foundation building?"

Li Ye added charcoal to the stove and replied: "Yes, sir, I am now on the second heaven. Do you think I have gathered the energy for the third level?"

The sir nodded.

After three teas, the gentleman drove Li Ye out of the hall and ordered him to go to the water to practice.

Li Ye took out a few black iron bowls from his husband's bookcase, which were used by Buddhism to beg for food. He took three out of the study and went to the kitchen with Agui to fetch water.

Agui took the iron bowl from Li Ye's hand and said, "Young master, sir, you know you can't hold it, so I gave you this iron bowl. You can just torment your feelings. This will save a lot of porcelain bowls."

Li Ye rolled his eyes to Agui, is there anyone who said that to the young master?

I beat a bowl of water and pressed it on my head. After walking a few steps, I found that it was too heavy and was shaking hard, so I poured out half of the water.

Agui smiled again and said, "Young Master, you can't stand this bowl of water?"

Li Ye was so angry that he kicked Agui. "Didn't you see this being made of black iron? How many pounds are needed for a bowl alone? You can try it?"

Agui smiled and refused to answer the words, but just picked up the other two bowls and added half of the water.

Li Ye put a bowl on his head and asked Agui to put the other two on his shoulders. He took a breath, calmed down for a while, and was about to walk. Before he could take ten steps, the bowl on his right shoulder fell off, and the water in the bowl on his left shoulder also shook out, wetting half of his body.

Li Ye was anxious and simply took off his robe and only wore a big trouser. He asked Agui to add water before leaving.

Seeing Li Ye like this, the gentleman couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be confused, keep your mind calm, start by taking a slower pace, keep your body steady, and keep your waist straight, don't shake it."

After hearing what the gentleman said, Li Ye calmed down and calmed down. His mind was all on the three bowls, and he moved his steps gently. This time, he walked twenty steps, and then the bowl on his left shoulder fell down again.

That afternoon, there was a scenery in the yard. Agui carried a bucket of water, took a scoop, followed Li Ye, and kept adding water to him.

The gentleman was about to call Li Ye, but the bowl on his head fell off.

Li Ye thought to himself that this Dharma body is really not easy to practice.

Agui shouted from behind: "Are you tired? Why don't you rest for a while? My hands are sore."

......

After that, the young lady from the General's Mansion blocked Li Ye at noon and after returning to the mansion for dinner, she begged her mother to take her to the academy to ask Mrs. Ye for a clear idea and see if Li Ye really became a monk and could not afford him.

The general was angry when he heard this and did not allow the young lady to do whatever she wanted.

The young lady frowned and made a big fuss and said she would go and see whatever she wanted.

The general's wife was so frustrated that she had no choice but to think of a trick, saying that she would go to the academy to find Ye Zhiqiu to see if she could find a teacher for the young lady, teach her poetry and books, and learn martial arts, and be well-educated.

The general thought about it and thought to himself that his daughter would get married sooner or later, so it would be good to read more poetry and books. He said, "Prepare a gift and ask your master to go to the academy with you."

The young lady jumped up in joy and ran to the backyard to find the master.

Xu Jingyun is about thirty years old. He is well maintained by a practitioner of Taoism. He looks only over twenty years old. He looks younger than the general's wife. He is five feet tall and wearing a blue silk skirt, dignified and charming.

The young lady entered the master's room and said, "Master, my father asked you to go to the academy with me to see if you can find a teacher to learn poetry and books."

The master glanced at the young lady and replied, "You want to know if Li Ye became a monk!"

The young lady blushed, her little hands pinched the corner of her clothes and stopped talking.

The master was also happy when he saw this and waved his hand, "Well, I'll go with you and meet Mrs. Ye in the academy."

When the young lady heard this, she was so happy that she took the master's hand and went out to find her mother.

......

Shenshi's academy welcomed three guests. The young lady, her master Xu Jingyun and the general's wife came to the front of the academy in a carriage. Her wife Ye Zhiqiu received a notice from the doorman and came out to greet her.

Ye Zhiqiu had greeted the general's wife and Xu Jingyun, so he tightly held the young lady in a red silk skirt, very happy, thinking that it would be great if she could be my daughter-in-law.

The servants of the general's mansion moved the gifts into the academy, and the four of them entered the back hall of the academy. Some servants looked at the tea for the guests.

Mrs. Ye took the young lady's hand and picked up apricot blossom cake from the tea table in the flower hall in front of the hall for the young lady to eat. Looking at the general's wife, she asked softly: "I haven't seen Mrs. Is this the first time you have come to the academy for a long time?"

The general's wife glanced at the young lady, her beautiful cheeks were a little red, and she replied whispered: "I hired Wushuang a few days ago, this is Master Xu Jingyun."

Xu Jingyun nodded to his wife.

The general's wife said again: "I made some discussion with the general. Wushuang has practiced martial arts and has to learn some worldly poetry, books, and etiquette. After hearing that the academic style of the academy is good, she came to cause trouble for the Master and his wife. She gave Wushuang a teacher to teach her calligraphy and poetry."

Mrs. Ye touched the young lady's head, feeling so happy that she said there was no problem.

Xu Jingyun took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard that Li Ye shaved his head and ran to the Big Buddha Temple to find Lao Shang early in the morning. Isn't this a good learning piano from Mr. Mo Yu? Why are you thinking about becoming a monk?"

Speaking of this, the general’s wife and the young lady blushed, thinking to herself, Master, you are too direct.

When Mrs. Ye heard this, she was amused and quickly replied: "Li Ye's bald head was struck by lightning in his husband's yard yesterday. His hair and clothes were burnt, and he was not as good as a human being. So she shaved her head."

When the young lady heard this, she jumped off Mrs. Ye's leg and was about to speak, the general's wife said first: "Oh, why is this child so miserable? She was born and was only thundered. It was only a few years ago, why did she get thunder again?"

Xu Jingyun was also stunned with a cup of tea.

The young lady looked red and looked at Mrs. Ye and said, "Madam, I saw that Li Ye is fine at noon. How could he run happily?"

All three of them looked at Mrs. Ye.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Mrs. Ye said, "Agui said that Mr. Li Ye has checked him and he is fine."

The three of them then let out a sigh of relief and put down their hanging hearts.

Mrs. Ye said again: "As for becoming a monk at the Great Buddha Temple, Li Ye didn't say anything when he went out, and I didn't ask. The old Li family was still waiting for him to grow up and ask him the family line when he was growing up. He was going to find Master Kuchan to seek Dharma. He would come back later and ask him again."

Xu Jingyun and the general's wife were happy and looked at the young lady and smiled. They thought they were so anxious that they were so good that they didn't become monks.

The young lady's face turned even redder, she turned around and took the apricot blossom cake to block the mouths of her mother and her master.

It turned out to be a false alarm.
