(There are a lot of social activities during the Chinese New Year, so I rarely have time to code, and the speed of coding is like a turtle crawling. I am really drunk!)
The books in the bamboo house have filled three rooms. It has been seventeen years since Li Xiu came to Jinzhang Buddhist Kingdom.
Over the years, Li Xiu relied on his popularity among laymen, and he finally collected all the volumes of the "Relics of the Buddha".
In his late fifties, Li Xiu's hair style has become very Manchu-style. There are more and more wrinkles on his face and his hair is getting less and less!
Li Xiu's body cannot bear too many memories of his soul! The more Buddhist scriptures he memorizes, the balder Li Xiu's body becomes.
Li Xiu is now able to memorize and memorize the Nine Wheels Sutra of Relics. Although this sutra is not long, it is extremely difficult to pronounce!
The "Nine Wheels of Relics Sutra" feels to Li Xiu like a magic circle that uses spiritual power. It requires a certain amount of spiritual consciousness to recite and record it.
For this reason, it is extremely rare for lay Buddhists to be able to memorize the Nine Wheels of Relics Sutra within a few years.
Li Xiu had received the birth certificate from Baota Temple last year, and Baota Temple invited Li Xiu to become a ordained monk of Baota Temple.
It's just that Li Xiu still needs to purchase some necessary items for cultivating immortals before he can enter the Pagoda Temple.
Once he enters the Pagoda Temple and becomes a monk, Li Xiu will no longer be able to take out his dead wood rejuvenation technique and practice it at night!
Speaking of the dead wood rejuvenation technique practiced by Li Xiu, it is currently stuck in the bottleneck of the late stage of foundation building! He has taken several pills to break through the bottleneck in the past two years, but he has not succeeded in breaking through!
Li Xiu even wanted to give up practicing the Dead Wood Rejuvenation Technique and switch to the third-turn Heavy Yuan Technique of the Qing Yuan Sword Technique!
But Li Xiu still held back! His plan to use the Dead Wood Rejuvenation Technique to break through the pill-forming stage remained unchanged. He spent nearly a year collecting the items he needed in the market.
Once you become a monk yourself, you must make long-term preparations! Only in this way can you continue to practice in the map space.
In addition, several classics that Li Xiu obtained must also be copied. Books in a room cannot be taken away, as they will be very conspicuous. It is best to exchange them for something useful.
Li Xiu has been sorting out Buddhist scriptures over the years, and has copied hundreds of scriptures and jade slips in the map space.
Li Xiu still cannot memorize the "Relics of Buddha Sutra". Even if a cultivator memorizes the 84,000 volumes of sutras, it would be difficult to memorize them all.
However, there are also capable people who have memorized a single relic of the Buddha Sutra. Most of these lay people have entered the Pagoda Temple, ordained and become eminent monks of the Pagoda Temple.
"Moko Golden Chapter" Li Xiu has not seen it in these years since the last time he saw it at the Baoguang Dharma Assembly of Jinlong Temple. The Sanskrit sound recorded by Li Xiu last time has been retained. Li Xiu often shows it on the map
Listening in the space, but there doesn't seem to be anything extraordinary.
…
As spring passed and autumn came, Li Xiu used his identity as Lingyi to buy many spiritual materials in the market that he could use in the future.
On this morning, Li Xiu left the Bamboo Garden and the paper Buddhist scriptures to a few familiar laymen, and they gave Li Xiu a spiritual sandalwood fish.
Tanyuan, Kusong and several other lay friends sent them off together, and Li Xiu and others headed towards the pagoda temple.
The Pagoda Temple is less than ten miles outside the Pagoda City. The terrain here is extremely high and there are several huge pagoda buildings. You can see those pagodas and temples in the Pagoda City.
Li Xiu was wearing plain clothes, and among the packages behind him were only a pair of wooden fish and the birth certificate.
Along the path that Li Xiu walked, the mortals in Pagoda City would stop and watch, and even believers would pray with their hands together.
Li Xiu saluted with his hands together all the way until he walked out of the pagoda city and saw a bluestone avenue in the distance. Every 100 meters, he could see a leading monk watching Li Xiu and others.
The bluestone avenue turned into stone steps in front of a building sign, and a team of monk soldiers guarded the building sign.
Li Xiu turned around and looked at the laymen.
"Masters, please go back! I will walk the rest of the way myself!"
"Master Xiu Yuan, he is old and inexperienced! But he will chant sutras endlessly after he returns! Seal the Nine Wheels of Relics and come to Pagoda Temple to be with Xiu Yuan!" Tears flowed from the withered old face of layman Tan Yuan.
"Alas! Everything depends on fate. Master Tanyuan might as well concentrate on the Buddhist Relics of the Buddha. Then he will definitely get the letter from the Pagoda Temple." Li Xiu shook his head and sighed. He knew that these people would not believe that the Nine Wheels of the Relics Sutra was not something that ordinary people could learn.
, one must have a strong natural sense of consciousness.
Li Xiu took out the letter and walked towards the gate of Pagoda Temple. He turned back and said goodbye to everyone.
After more than ten years of living as a layman, Li Xiu also felt quite emotional. Practicing cultivation is like learning to walk while looking at the sky. The difference is thousands of miles, and the error is huge!
This is the practice of mortals. Compared with immortal cultivators, the practice of mortals is simply like that of a person sitting in front of a computer. He can only see the upgrades of those game characters, but it has nothing to do with his own body!
Su Jian could not see the results of her practice in her whole life, but she still persisted blindly.
How difficult it is for mortals without spiritual roots to pursue the path to immortality!
Li Xiu is also a mortal, and he can better understand the hardships of Tan Yuan layman who has no way forward!
The letter was accepted by a gray-robed monk, who led Li Xiu up the 100-foot stone steps.
Li Xiu followed the footsteps of the monk in gray and walked towards the tall pagoda. Looking back, he saw that the people at the foot of the mountain were like sand. There was no intersection in his heart and he walked forward.
…
The bell is gone, the sound of wooden fish enters the ears, and the scent of sandalwood and dense breath enters the nose.
Li Xiu sat cross-legged on a futon, and an old monk wearing a yellow silk cassock scraped off the black hair on Li Xiu's head little by little.
The old monk was chanting sutras in a low voice, with skillful and clean techniques. A monk beside him brought up a sandalwood tripod.
There was an incense stick standing in the sandalwood cauldron. The old monk respectfully took out the incense stick. He kept chanting sutras and flicked the ashes. Little by little, the old monk placed the red tip of the incense stick on Li Xiu's head.
The sizzling sound made Li Xiu's scalp tingle, but it didn't hurt much. This fragrance is a good thing! Li Xiu sighed in his heart.
A quarter of an hour later, four streams of barbecue-smelling smoke came out of Li Xiu's head, and he was officially ordained.
"From now on, there is no more destiny in the world, only - bitter chrysanthemum!" the old monk's long voice came out.
"?"
"Master! Can you change the disciple's dharma name?" Li Xiu opened his eyes and said.
"The Dharma name is just a code name, any name can be used! How can we dislike it?" The old monk ignored Li Xiu's request, and after saying that, he registered Li Xiu's Dharma name in the register.
The old monk explained some more rules and regulations, and gave Li Xiu some pamphlets. Li Xiu went to several places to collect some clothing expenses, and then he completed the ceremony of entering the temple.
Following a young monk in gray clothes who was only a teenager, Li Xiu went to his accommodation.
Walk past a square pagoda, enter a temple and Zen courtyard, and walk around until you reach a room on the third floor.
Opening the door, there was a dormitory for four people. The beds were arranged in the four corners. Li Xiu saw a bed board without bedding, and he threw the bedding he was assigned on the bed.
Before leaving, the young monk turned back to Li Xiu and said:
"I am Master Jie Qian of the Jie generation. If you need anything, please come to the Discipline Academy to see me!"
"Oh! Thank you very much... Qian, uncle!" Li Xiu saluted.
The little monk had an expression of endless use on his face, and he left the dormitory with strides like he didn't recognize his relatives.
Li Xiu looked at the back of the young monk, and then at the dormitory and Zen courtyard. Li Xiu suddenly felt a little bit like he had entered a university campus.
"Haha, this looks like a university dormitory! I just don't know who my roommates are?"
