The mountains are far away in silence, and the clouds and mist are misty.
Mountains and rivers surround the lonely outside, and the palaces are jagged and green.
Suddenly I heard the melodious sound of the bell, and the hazy gauze in the mountains suddenly surged.
On the bell tower with octagonal eaves, a middle-aged monk is pushing a wooden bell spine as thick as one person with one hand.
Boom!
The bell rang again, long and distant, passing through mountains and ridges in an instant.
In the corner of the bell tower, behind the monk, a teenage boy looked at his movements with no expression on his face. Even though the bell was ringing close to his ears, his expression did not change.
The cool breeze in the early morning blew by, and the young man's hair fluttered lightly on his forehead, gently brushing against his fair and jade-like cheeks.
The long eyelashes were motionless, and the clear and bright eyes perfectly reflected the scene of the monk ringing the bell.
The pink lips were lightly pursed, and the clear lip lines seemed to have been carefully outlined with the most delicate hair.
Wang Li, fourteen years old, arrived at Bailong Temple ten months ago and followed Monk Jingyuan who was ringing the bell day and night.
It’s not just to become a monk and cultivate, but to recuperate a body with congenital deficiencies and eradicate chronic diseases.
The morning bell of Bailong Temple has the effect of cleansing the body and mind and invigorating the spirit. Therefore, there is no need for Jingyuan to ring the bell, but he still took the initiative to "snatch" the job and take Wang Li to listen to the ancient temple bell at close range every day.
However, the sound of the bell at a close distance is very loud, and people who are not used to it will be surprised if they get close to it.
But Wang Li didn't. He seemed unresponsive, as if he had lost his hearing.
After a while, the last bell rang. Monk Jingyuan pressed the bell's spine with one hand, immediately stopped it, and then turned around.
Wang Li also came to his senses at the same time.
The two of them looked at each other and went downstairs together without saying a word.
Entering from the side of the temple, the sound of wooden fish and chanting gradually merge into one, dispelling the silence of the early morning in the deep mountains.
Not long after, a low Buddhist temple with gray walls and gray tiles emerged among the green bamboo forest.
Entering, you will find pebbles paving the road, lush flowers and plants, and dewdrops reflecting the golden morning sun.
Fireworks are in full swing in the kitchen on the side, and water mist is steaming.
Wang Li curled his lips, but went straight back to his room without saying a word.
Immediately afterwards, Monk Jingyuan came in with two buckets of hot water in both hands and poured them into the wooden bucket located in the middle of the room. After going back and forth several times, the hot water was filled and the room was filled with mist.
After closing the door, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, sprinkled cyan powder into the tub, and the scalding hot water turned into dark cyan in an instant. He then extended his index finger into it, nodded slightly after taking a few breaths.
He stopped his hand and faced Wang Li, with a smile on his face.
"Master Jingyuan, when will you be tall?" Wang Li asked bitterly, but his hands were not idle either, and he stripped himself naked in a few strokes.
Jingyuan said with a smile: "Congenital diseases cannot be corrected overnight. This medicinal bath will take at least a month."
Wang Li stepped on the wooden stool with one leg, and tried to put the other leg into the hot water in the bucket. Hissing the cool air in his mouth, he tried again and again, and it took him a while to soak himself in the hot potion.
.
Not only was the hot water itself scalding, but what was even more unbearable was the medicinal powder that Monk Jingyuan had just put in. It seemed to turn the hot water into pepper water that could directly act on the surface of the skin.
As we all know, spicy food is a kind of pain, an uncontrollable burning sensation.
What's more, Monk Jing Yuan did not allow him to wear any clothes at all.
This brought him double stimulation. After all, there are always some parts of the human body that are extremely fragile.
However, after just gritting his teeth and shaking for a while, Wang Li gradually closed his eyes slightly and stopped struggling, as if he had fallen into trance.
Although this was not the first time he had seen such a scene, Jingyuan could not help but be shocked and lamented by his performance.
He has personally experienced the pain caused by this kind of medicinal bath, and has seen many children struggling in the medicinal bath and crying bitterly. Countless people had to desperately hold them in the water, and even made them
Fainting will cause the pain to wake you up, and even adults will inevitably hold their necks and howl non-stop.
However, seeing this young man, he only felt pain at the beginning, then quickly got used to it, and finally remained silent and his expression remained unchanged.
Such endurance and concentration are rare for young people, not to mention his talent and intelligence, and his words are always astonishing. He is really a good young man for practicing Buddhism.
Thinking of this, Jingyuan couldn't help but look at the long black and thick hair on Wang Li's head, and sighed in his heart.
It's a pity that this young man's interest in Bailong Temple is limited to his own spiritual practice, and he has no interest in truly worshiping Buddhism and studying Buddhist principles.
If you don’t practice Buddhism, you won’t be able to pass it on.
Even if Jingyuan is willing to violate the rules of Bailong Temple, without the foundation of Buddhism, Wang Li will not be able to truly cultivate the Dharma of Bailong Temple to a profound level.
How can we make him willingly worship in the temple? This problem has been bothering Jingyuan for almost a month.
This determinism actually has the true meaning of the Buddha cutting his flesh to feed the eagle and his body to feed the tiger. If he truly stepped into Buddhism and practiced the Buddhist method, what would it be like?
There are endless reveries in Jing Yuan’s heart.
After watching quietly for a long time, his eyes became firm again and he left reluctantly.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Wang Li opened his eyes, with a bright light flowing in his eyes.
He looked down at his body soaked in blue hot water, and there was no trace of pain in his eyes or expression.
He leaned back and let out a long, comfortable sigh.
Wang Li was born into a marquis' family in a small country. His mother died in childbirth. Wang Li was born with deficiencies and suffered from diseases since childhood.
Ten months ago, he had just turned fourteen. His age and body had reached the appropriate stage, so he was sent to Bailong Temple.
The current king of the carp also came to occupy the magpie's nest on the night when he turned fourteen.
That night, the poor prince's illness broke out and he coughed up blood one after another. The little king carp was also supposed to die. Then, the big king carp woke up, and the two disappearing souls merged perfectly, finally gaining a glimmer of life.
In the past month, Wang Li followed Monk Jingyuan at Bailong Temple, taking medicated baths three times a day, taking medicine three times, and interspersed with the practice of physical fitness techniques. Not only did Wang Li get rid of his illness, but at least he didn't end up wheezing after walking a few steps.
, I cough desperately when the cold wind blows.
It can be seen from this that Monk Jingyuan is a truly capable person. His skill is not the extraordinary medical skills, but the transcendent "Buddhist Dharma".
Of course, Wang Li prefers to regard this as a unique method for practitioners, which has nothing to do with the kung fu he has seen in the mortal world.
After all, he has never seen a certain martial arts school that can truly create special effects of golden light.
But the golden bell of Monk Jingyuan can really form a big bell with dazzling golden light and clear patterns outside the body.
Moreover, due to the special "talent" that Wang Li gradually revealed, Monk Jingyuan's heartbeat gradually intensified. Therefore, in order to induce Wang Li to become a monk, he would often "inadvertently" reveal something special.
For example, you can take objects from the air while eating, hang your body in the air while meditating, and even have a special-effect version of the golden bell released during practice.
Wang Li was really attracted by these methods.
However, for him to become a monk is still a toad-impossible thing.
He still remembered that he was engaged, and that his fiancée was still one year younger than him, but a quick glance revealed that she had already developed bright eyes, white teeth, and was pretty and charming.
It’s not that Wang Li is reluctant to let go, but he doesn’t want an innocent girl to be harmed by her engagement being annulled. In today’s world, girls whose engagement is annulled will be given a bad label regardless of the reason. No amount of explanations can restrain people from paying attention.
The "evil" side is thrown into reverie.
Moreover, he himself had never thought of becoming a monk, and it was a single lineage in his family.
Furthermore, Wang Li is not sure whether he is the supporting villain of a novel about a heroine. After all, things like being divorced mostly happen to the protagonist...
Therefore, for the sake of the peace and stability of the entire Wang family, orderly inheritance, and for his own safety, Wang Li is determined not to become a monk.
The current situation is: I don’t want to leave home, and I want to practice gong.
Wang Li has been exploring solutions.
It is a pity that Bailong Temple does not accept lay disciples, otherwise there would be so many problems.
Over time, the color of the potion in the bathtub gradually became lighter, and as the temperature continued to drop, it completely lost its color.
Wang Li climbed out, dried himself and put on his clothes. Monk Jingyuan knocked on the door and entered.
After quickly cleaning up, the two had a simple breakfast, and Jingyuan threw a wooden sword into Wang Li's hand.
Then, Jingyuan sat cross-legged at the door, while Wang Li practiced swordsmanship in the courtyard.
Although this swordsmanship is also the true inheritance of Bailong Temple, without the blessing of Buddhist mental methods, it loses its true meaning and it is difficult to show its true magic.
Jingyuan watched while he flicked his fingers from time to time, and a little light golden light leaped out and hit Wang Li.
"Taller."
"Not decisive enough."
"Too stiff."
"Wrong pace."
Jingyuan's guidance is similar to that of Buddhist Jifeng. It is never very straightforward, such as how much higher or lower it is. Wang Li is just allowed to think and adjust by himself.
This kind of practice method made Wang Li very uncomfortable at first, but after he became familiar with it, his adjusted movements were indeed more impressive.
This set of demon-suppressing swords has a total of fifty-one styles, and Wang Li has already learned more than half of them.
After gradually getting better, Wang Li no longer needs Jingyuan to point his fingers, and he has mastered the sword moves. Even if he has a wooden sword in his hand, he still has a different aura.
The body moves with the sword, the sword moves at will, and the sword moves freely with the heart.
The scorching sun in the sky has already dispersed the morning fog in the mountains, the light and shadow are dancing on the ground, and sweat is gradually dripping from Wang Li's forehead.
There is no fluctuation in Jingyuan's face, but his eyes are full of satisfaction.
It's time to give him a real sword.
But this kid just insists on not wanting to become a monk, what should I do?
Bang!
While he was deep in thought, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and a tall and thin figure appeared.
Wang Li was still immersed in the swordsmanship, as if he was unaware of it.
Jingyuan appreciated his performance more and more and stood up quickly. This chapter has been completed!
