Chapter 204: Thousands of Books and Thousands of Miles(1/2)
Although he had learned a lot of Buddhist teachings from the old monk at the Great Buddha Temple and understood the principle: "There is no happiness until new acquaintances, no sorrow until parting," but facing the real moment of separation from his loved ones, Li Ye still couldn't bear it.
I shed tears.
He knew that after this separation, it might take five years, maybe ten years or even more before he could see his parents again. By then, his sister would have grown into what he is now.
Li Hongxiu patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "It's not a separation between life and death, there's nothing to be sad about. Only by cultivating to a higher level can you protect them properly."
The husband nodded and said calmly: "That's the truth. You know most of it yourself."
Mu Mu opened the curtain of the side window and looked at the scenery outside, and said with a smile: "This is also the first time Mu Mu has left Fengyun City. The scenery along the way is very beautiful."
Li Ye looked at Mr., lowered his head and said, "Disciple knows this truth, but he still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart."
The gentleman thought for a while, pointed to the outside of the carriage and said, "How about you go down and run ten or eight miles and wait for us in front?"
Li Hongxiu glared at her husband and said sternly: "I have just left, and you are thinking about abusing your apprentice? How can you be such a master?"
Li Ye looked at Li Hongxiu, smiled and said, "Forget it for today, I want to take a nap. I'll try to run again tomorrow."
Suddenly, it started to rain lightly in the clear sky, and it was bitingly cold.
The spring rain is heavy, suitable for people traveling far away.
...
In the spring rain, the Northern Tianshan Sword Sect was shrouded in rain and fog.
The Tianshan Mountains in the Eastern Region only account for a quarter of the entire Tianshan Mountains, while the Tianshan Mountains in the Northern Region are the holy land that practitioners of the Five Regions yearn for.
In the spring rain, there was a fat man with one arm, holding a broom with his left hand, and carefully sweeping the fallen flowers and occasionally falling leaves on the sect square.
Under the corridor of the main hall, beside Wu Hu Ye Feng, stood a scholar in white robe.
The scholar looked at Dong Rulong, the Three Tigers in the rain, and frowned and said, "He just wants his right arm to be broken, but he still has all his skills and can still practice swordsmanship with his left hand. Why is he doing this?"
Ye Feng smiled bitterly and said: "I also told him this truth. He said that he used to lick blood on the knife edge and kill too many evil people. Now he just wants to be a quiet mortal."
The scholar looked at him and said, "What about you? Don't you want to practice anymore? Why would you come to Tianshan if you don't practice?"
Ye Feng turned around and said with a faint smile: "The world is so big, I can't think of a place to stay, so I came to join you, cousin."
The scholar was startled, then said with an angry smile: "Didn't you used to be known as the Five Tigers of the Central Region, invincible in the world?"
Ye Feng was stunned, turned his head, sighed quietly, and said: "Those are all young and crazy, they don't know that there are no outsiders in the world, there are no five tigers in the world, only I, Ye Feng, and my third brother who has lost his arm depend on each other.
"
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you get hit even a little bit, you will die. Practitioners have always fought for their lives with heaven and people. Don't you understand this truth?" The scholar said with a smile.
Ye Feng nodded and said: "Of course I understand this truth, but I just want to stay quietly and continue practicing when I figure it out."
The scholar patted him on the shoulder and said: "Every movement and stillness is practice. If you think about it carefully, it is not a bad thing."
Ye Feng smiled and said: "I still think that one day I can surpass your cousin in practice and break through the legendary realm."
The two of them smiled at the same time and looked down at the square.
I saw that Ruoda's square had been cleaned, and Dong Rulong was no longer in the square.
...
The black carriage was walking on the official road in the East Region. Mu Mu in the carriage was already sleeping in Li Hongxiu's arms.
The continuous spring rain washed away a lot of dust on the walls of the carriage, leaving only a little spring mud splashed on the wheels.
Li Ye held the Lotus Sutra and read it softly. The husband half-closed his eyes while listening to the sound of Li Ye reading the sutra and the sound of wheels grinding the ground.
Li Hongxiu laid out melon seeds and peanuts in the car and ate them carelessly, enjoying the joy of traveling far away. In her heart, as long as her husband was with her, it didn't matter where she went.
Her husband once taught her: "A place of peace of mind is a place of peace of mind."
In turn, she taught her husband: "A place where the body is at peace is where the mind is at peace."
The gentleman clapped his hands, cheered softly, and said, "That makes sense."
Li Ye, who was reading the scriptures, heard the conversation between the two of them, raised his head and smiled: "When did Master's Wife learn the meditation machine?"
Li Hongxiu handed the peeled melon seeds to her husband and said with a smile: "We have a successful little monk in our family, so everyone will naturally understand some simple Buddhist teachings and principles."
Li Ye said: "You once told me that you would not study Buddhism."
The teacher took the melon seeds from Li Hongxiu's hand and said: "Everything will change, it just depends on whether everyone is willing."
Li Ye smiled and said, "Sir, you can also practice Zen."
Li Hongxiu curled her lips and said, "He has been friends with Kuchan Master of the Great Buddha Temple for so many years. How can he not know the Dharma and divine power?"
Li Ye put down the scripture, thought for a moment and said, "My old master monk seems to have never told me about Zen."
"Maybe you are too stupid." Li Hongxiu covered her mouth and smiled softly.
The teacher looked at the two of them and said, "Kindness comes from your mouth. From now on, you should remember not to talk about people's right and wrong behind their backs."
"Sir, what you said makes sense. The old master monk once said: Take good care of your reputation and don't ridicule others for their mistakes. Talking about right and wrong will only blind your own mind."
Li Ye raised a corner of the car window, looked at the distant scenery in the harsh spring rain, and said: "The disasters of the ostomy industry are more terrible than fire."
Li Hongxiu curled her lips and replied in a low voice: "I am just a little woman, how can I know so many truths?"
Li Ye rolled his eyes at her and said, "Master's wife, these are strong words."
Li Hongxiu looked at Mr.
The gentleman smiled and said nothing.
...
At the foot of Fenghuang Mountain in the Southern Region, a carriage was parked in the spring rain.
Brothers Qingfeng and Mingyue Bing followed Xu Jingyun. The young lady holding an umbrella next to them had a red face.
Qingfeng bent down to salute, looked at Xu Jingyun and said, "Uncle, I have traveled thousands of miles, so be careful on the way."
Mingyue looked at the young lady and said with a blushing face: "Junior sister, come back early. There will be generous rewards in the autumn sect competition."
The young lady's face was red from the cold in the cold spring rain, and she whispered back: "Two senior brothers, please come back. Master and I will return to the sect after finishing our work."
Xu Jing went to look at the two brothers and said with a smile: "Wushuang can practice on the road, but your brothers have not made any progress since last winter. If this continues, it will be difficult to achieve good results in the autumn competition."
Mingyue touched her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, uncle, my brother will practice hard when he returns to the mountain. When junior sister comes back, he will definitely be able to break through to the fifth level of the Golden Core."
The young lady clenched her fists and said, "Brothers, come on!"
Xu Jingyun waved her hand and said: "We are going back, we are about to set off."
Qingfeng waved his hand and said: "Uncle, have a good journey. I wish my sister a breakthrough in cultivation on the way."
Mingyue waved her hand and said: "It's good to go, uncle. Goodbye, junior sister."
The young lady and Xu Jingyun got into the carriage. The driver flicked his whip and the wheels rattled as they left the Phoenix Sect.
...
The young lady looked at Xu Jingyun and asked in a low voice: "Master, can we rush back to the sect from the Eastern Region in autumn?"
Xu Jingyun leaned against the car window and looked at the scenery outside.
He smiled faintly and said: "The sect's competition is designed to inspire the majority of students to practice hard. It's best if you can participate. It doesn't matter if you can't catch up. Since you have left the sect, being on the road is also a kind of practice. Have you forgotten this principle?
Already?"
The young lady was silent for a moment, looking at the peach trees in front of her, taking out their red buds in the spring rain, and said: "Disciple, we understand that we practice seriously."
Xu Jingyun closed her eyes and said: "You have just entered the golden elixir realm, take your time, don't be impatient."
The lady nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, master! I will work hard."
Her voice was calm, gentle and soft, but revealed firm determination.
Xu Jingyun's expression remained unchanged and she said, "I'll take a rest for a while. Call me if you need anything."
The young lady turned around and leaned on the other side of the car window, lifting the corner of the car curtain and looking at the green scenery outside the window.
In her hand, Li Ye turned over the reply letter brought to her by her trustee, and whispered softly:
The fragrance of red lotus root lingers in the jade mat in autumn.
He took off his clothes lightly and boarded the orchid boat alone.
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade book?
When the wild goose returns, the moon is full on the west tower.
The flowers float and the water flows.
One kind of lovesickness, two places of idle sorrow.
There is no way to eliminate this feeling,
Only under the brow, but our hearts.
...
Who in the clouds sent me a brocade letter? This brocade letter from you made me lose my sight of the end of the world.
