Chapter 132 Weaving the state of mind
Li Ye sat in a wooden shed on the cliff and spent ten days copying the second "Hua Dharma Sutra".
Two of the five blank scriptures have been completed, and I want to give one to the old ape and the old wolf, one to my parents, and one to the old monk from the Great Buddha Temple.
Is the other one for Li Hongxiu or for Miss Wushuang’s mother? It seems that I will have to copy a few more copies after I come down from the mountain.
The bamboo hat has been knitted for more than four months, and the last few or two turns are just around the corner.
In the words of Lao Yuan, this boring project that took him countless thoughts is finally coming to an end. He no longer has to watch himself carving and scrapping with a knife.
The wind and snow in the mountains have become lighter, maybe the footsteps of spring are approaching quietly.
The flow of water in the glacier became larger, and the ice that had frozen most of the river began to slowly melt toward both sides of the river.
After more than ten days of copying scriptures and compiling bamboo hats, he finally calmed down his restless mind. Now he can quietly copy scriptures for two hours without getting upset.
This was a good sign, so he picked up the bamboo sword and began to stand under the cedar tree and swing the sword.
Perform the simplest movements as before, without spending any energy, just maintain a certain speed.
He swung the bamboo sword in his hand again and again, sometimes hitting the snowflakes in the air, sometimes hitting the empty air.
It's just that he no longer swings the sword desperately and maintains this posture for an hour every day.
My husband said that practice makes perfect, and what he is doing now is to practice his sword-swinging posture.
Maybe next winter, I can kill two, three or more snowflakes with one sword.
The Falling Leaf Sword Technique that Mr. Xi wanted to practice on his own seemed to Li Ye to be extremely difficult. It was harder than reaching the sky, and much more difficult than risking his life to suffer in a cold pool for an hour.
This was the only thing he could despise about himself at the moment. He knew that even with the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand that Mu Mu was skilled in, he could also fake the second move. Only the Master's Falling Leaf Sword Technique was the key to his practice.
The old master monk said that along the way of practicing Buddhism, there must be gains and losses. Perhaps this is the truth.
After struggling to wield hundreds of thousands of swords, I finally realized a trace of Zhan Xue, which was a kind of consolation to the fact that Luo Ye Sword Technique was not accessible to him.
Looking at Li Ye who was standing under the cedar and wielding sword after sword, the old ape sighed helplessly and shook his head.
He said: "I don't know how your effortless swordsmanship will help your practice. It would be better to wait until spring to pick up a large stone from the river and run around in the mountain stream.
In Lao Yuan's view, the principle of spiritual practice is to constantly train one's physical body and then break through the realm.
Li Ye night glanced at the old ape who walked into the shed with his hands behind his back and shaking his head, and thought to himself that I am not your descendant. No matter how hard I train my muscles, I won't get far.
While waving his sword, he said: "You boil the water first, I'll be ready in a quarter of an hour."
"You play slowly, I'm not in a hurry." Not being in a hurry has become the mantra of Lao Yuan and Lao Lang. These three words were originally taught to them by Li Shihe, but now these two old men are teaching themselves a lesson.
mantra.
Suddenly, he saw Xiao Bai walking out of the cave like a ghost, walking like a cat. He was slightly startled but said nothing.
He looked at him and said: "The porridge has been cooked. If you are hungry, let Senior Yuan serve it to you. I have to practice for a while."
"You take your time outside and look at the scenery. My father and I will eat first. When you are well, come in and make tea for me." The loud voice of the old ape came from the shed, startling Xiaobai who had touched the door.
, roared twice.
The old ape was also startled by him. He looked at Xiaobai who walked in and shouted: "You are screaming every day. Do you want to scare me to death?"
Xiaobai looked up at him, whined twice, climbed up on the stool and waited for the old ape to serve him porridge.
The old ape shook his head, touched his head and said: "You are just like what he said, you are just a snack, and you don't know when you will transform!"
Xiaobai gently squatted on his hand twice and thought to himself: I'm not in a hurry. You two are so anxious every day. Isn't it annoying?
An old man and a young man each held a bowl of porridge and drank it slowly.
The north wind outside was strong and snowflakes were flying.
When the sword was swung to its peak, Li Ye no longer needed to deliberately maintain a certain posture, nor did he need to deliberately calculate the speed of each swing of the sword. At this moment, he entered a wonderful state.
He maintained a certain rhythm when drawing out and sheathing the sword. At this moment, he could cut the snow if he wanted to.
...
After standing in the wind and practicing for a while, thinking that Lao Yuan and Xiao Bai were still in the room, Li Ye put away his sword and let out a gentle breath.
The old ape looked at Li Ye who walked in and asked: "When will the little girl from the bottom of the mountain come up? It seems that the wine she brought last time is almost finished."
Li Ye picked up the towel hanging on the back of the chair to wipe his sweat, thought for a while, and then answered uncertainly: "Maybe the day after tomorrow... or the day after tomorrow."
Xiaobai held a big bowl and drank porridge, making a slurping sound from his mouth.
Li Ye looked at it with disgust: "I told you not to make such unpleasant noises when eating porridge, do you see how quiet Senior Ape eats? If you go down the mountain like this, you will lose me every day if you follow me.
people."
Xiaobai rolled his eyes at him, and the old ape rolled his eyes at him.
"If you want to teach it, you have to wait until it enters the realm and takes form. It's useless to say it now." The old ape gently placed the bowl of porridge on the table and looked at Li Ye and said.
Xiaobai looked at the two men and nodded, agreeing with what the old ape said.
Li Ye said angrily: "The teacher said that he will grow old when he is three years old. If he doesn't teach him well now, he will be a useless piece of wood even if he becomes a human in the future."
The old ape looked at him and shook his head with a smile. He was also a little annoyed. He touched Xiao Bai's head and looked at Li Ye.
He said quietly: "Are you very powerful? Come on, come on. I will let you take care of the cave at the foot of the mountain. You can discipline the dozens of descendants for me and see if they can become like you and me. They can practice."
people."
"Of course I can..." Li Ye suddenly thought of the bunch of naughty children, old and young, apes and apes who chattered all day long, and he suddenly lost his temper.
Changing the topic with a slight smile, Youyou said: "If Xiaoqing brings more than ten jars of wine this time, you have to find a way to give me something good, at least to make Xiaoqing happy, otherwise there will be no wine next time."
Xiao Baichi watched the two people arguing, lowered his head and drank all the porridge in the bowl, then jumped on Li Ye's bamboo chair and lay down, watching the excitement with his eyes wide open.
The old ape said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the old wolf and I would board your pirate ship just because we drank a few bottles of wine. We will be subject to your calculations every day. We are not as innocent and cute as Xiaobai."
Li Ye filled a bowl of porridge, pointed at Xiaobai and said with a smile: "Have you all forgotten important things? He is still a puppy, not a human being."
The old ape was stunned for a moment, then he immediately looked at Xiaobai and said, "Poor Xiaobai, your brother called you a puppy and not a human being." Then he burst into laughter.
Xiaobai stared at Li Ye, "Does that mean you want to say it again?"
Li Ye naturally ignored him and just touched his head, meaning don't make trouble, I'm hungry.
The old ape looked at Xiaobai and said with a smile: "I've eaten so many good things for you. It's time for a pig to be broken. Why didn't you see any movement at first?"
Xiaobai whimpered, put his head into Li Ye's arms, and stopped talking about the old ape.
Li Ye lowered his head and started drinking porridge. As soon as he started eating, he would not make any sound except when he was drinking.
When it's time to be silent, resolutely remain silent.
The old ape shook his head, added two pine blocks to the stove, put the kettle on the stove, and said, "He actually understands every word you say now."
He looked at Xiaobai and smiled, and said with a gloating smile: "I'm afraid that in the future...after he enters the realm and transforms, he will remember what you said to him now."
After hearing what the old ape said, Xiaobai, who was lying on the bamboo chair, raised his head and screamed twice, as if to vent all the injustices in his heart.
Li Ye drank porridge from a bowl and ignored him.
The old ape smiled and comforted him: "You haven't even started to enter the country yet, so you have to endure it first. Only when you are better than him in kung fu can you bully him. Otherwise, you can only be his little brother for the rest of your life. Being a little brother has no rights.
equal."
"For your future face, honor and dignity, you must work hard from now on. Only by defeating him will you not be angry in the future." The old ape did not think it was a big deal and tried his best to instigate Xiaobai.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you." Li Ye put down the empty bowl and said, "As long as he is with me, my husband will teach him well even if I don't teach him."
"I don't expect him to be able to shock the world in the future. As long as he is safe and happy, that's fine. Don't risk your life to practice like me. I don't know what the purpose is in the end."
When Li Ye thought about how much suffering he had suffered all the way through cultivation, and some sufferings were still waiting for him, he didn't want Xiaobai to be like him, including Mu Mu at the foot of the mountain.
He wanted everyone around him to live a simpler and happier life.
"He is always a proud white wolf, let alone coming from that world." The old ape raised his head and looked at the roof of the shed.
He said with some worry: "It would be a good thing if he could always follow you, but I am afraid that he will become restless when he finds out about his life experience in the future."
"We'll talk about the future later." Li Ye looked at Xiao Bai with eyes that didn't know whether he was sad or happy. He lowered his head and thought for a while, wondering who could predict what would happen in the future.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said softly: "How can everything go as planned when eating, dressing, making tea and chanting sutras? I have spent so much effort, but don't I still have the vitality of heaven and earth that I can't practice swordsmanship and can't feel?"
"I have been practicing hard on Tianshan Mountain for nearly two years. I want to master the swordsmanship that my husband wants me to practice by myself, and cultivate my state of mind to be as calm as water, but in the end I didn't get what I wanted."
Whenever he thinks of Falling Leaf Sword Technique, Li Ye will have a feeling of dissatisfaction.
"Just like me weaving this bamboo hat, it took me nearly four months. Every time I carve scriptures on the bamboo strips, I will be very careful, but there will always be a few pieces that will be accidentally broken, and I have to start all over again.
Carve it again."
Looking at the old ape, he continued.
The old ape was slightly silent, with a bitter smile appearing on his somewhat aged cheeks.
He glanced at Li Ye and said with emotion in a low voice: "The path of cultivation... is not so satisfactory. The white fox (Bai Susu) who practiced with us has already passed through the nine tribulations and left. The old wolf and I are still
Here I painfully understand the uncertain state of mind of the ninth calamity."
Li Ye was stunned after hearing this, why did he talk about Bai Susu again? He knew how powerful that woman was. Even a naughty person like Mu Mu behaved obediently in front of her and did not act nonsense.
The water in the pot has boiled and made a whining sound. Li Ye put away his somewhat messy mood and began to pour water to warm the pot, wash the tea, and wash the cups.
Now that he has made a decision, he must continue to hone his state of mind, and he will consider the practice that cannot be completed until he comes down the mountain.
Now he just wants to copy the scriptures, finish weaving the bamboo hat, and continue the practice of wielding ten thousand swords under the cedar every day.
He believes that as long as he does these three things well, when summer comes, his state and mood will have a big change.
Even if the mind cannot be as calm as water, it can still be relaxed and relaxed, and it will no longer have trouble sleeping and eating because of a certain unsatisfactory thing, which will affect one's own practice.
At this moment, a "thumping" sound was heard on the quiet cliff.
Lao Yuan and Li Ye looked at each other, and Li Ye smiled and said, "If you want to drink the wine Xiaoqing brought, she will come. But have you prepared the things you gave her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qing, who was dressed in dusty clothes, walked into the shed, with a small face like a porcelain doll that was red from the cold, and stared at the dazed old ape and the smiling Li Ye at the table with a pair of big eyes.
Chapter completed!
