In the silent night sky, a full moon stood in the sky, and a little bit of white light sprinkled on the green Qingyun Mountain, bringing a bit of sacred artistic conception to the whole mountain.
On the top of Qingyun Mountain, Lin Xiuxiu, who had just tasted Mu Chen's craftsmanship, sat cross-legged on a smooth stone.
If it hadn't been for seeing it with his own eyes, Lin Xiu would have found it hard to believe that an eminent monk like Mu Chen, who is so temperamental and seems to be non-human, would cook good dishes. What's even more surprising is that this senior Well, the appetite is even more extraordinary, at least half of the meals on the table went into the belly of my bald senior brother.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiu couldn't help but smile slightly, his senior brother is really a strange person.
"Little brother, what are you thinking here alone?" Lin Xiu's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden words from behind him. He looked back, and it turned out that Li Jian had also arrived at the top of the mountain at some point, and was sitting behind him. A cyan slate not far away.
Lin Xiu hurriedly got up to salute, and only sat down again after seeing Li Jian smiling.
"Brother, I was wondering what is the purpose of a person's life?"
Seeing Lin Xiu's serious look, Li Jian wanted to laugh, but he finally endured it and said softly, "You should have heard the saying that life is short and you need to enjoy yourself in time. For those marketers For ordinary people, although such a statement is a bit slack, it is still a way of life."
Hearing this, Lin Xiu understood in his heart that those common people would hardly have any future in their lives. They just dealt with some firewood, rice, oil and salt every day, and what they wanted was nothing more than a family with no worries.
Seeing Lin Xiu nod his head slightly, Li Jian continued: "There is a saying in Buddhism that all life is suffering. I don't know what my junior brother thinks about this sentence?"
Lin Xiu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head to look at Li Jian, with a particularly bright light shining in his eyes.
"Brother, I think that life is suffering does not refer to the poverty that all living beings must live in, but that this kind of suffering is a state, because suffering and happiness are relative, and there is no happiness without suffering. "
Hearing Lin Xiu's words, Li Jian's body trembled slightly, but under his cover-up, Lin Xiu couldn't detect it at all.
"Young brother is right. Buddhism pays attention to karma and reincarnation, and it talks about the principle that happiness and suffering go hand in hand. If this life is always in the same state, do you think it is suffering or happiness?"
Li Jian gently turned the Buddhist beads in his hand, but his soft eyes were full of wisdom and compassion. It was also at this time that Lin Xiu discovered that his brother dressed as a long-clothed swordsman also had a lot of attainments in Buddhism.
"Actually, there is no so-called suffering and joy in this life. In the journey of chasing the Dao, even if the body is full of thorns and suffers unspeakable pain, if you finally see the Dao, all of this will be worth it."
Lin Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and murmured: "If you hear the Tao in the morning, is it possible to die in the evening? If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening."
At this moment, Lin Xiu's aura seemed to faintly resonate with the world, and his whole temperament became a little dusty.
"Little brother, your going up the mountain this time is incomparable to all the senior brothers who have worked hard on this mountain for many years." Li Jian saw that Lin Xiu seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, so he no longer concealed what Wu Kejun had planned for him. They all said it carefully.
Lin Xiu was already extremely intelligent, coupled with Wu Kejun's attitude towards him, and what Li Jian said now, he already vaguely understood something in his heart.
"Little brother, I don't need to say anything more to you. You are kind by nature. I hope you can become more tenacious. Only in this way can you fulfill the expectations of your master." Li Jian looked at Lin Xiu gently. After one glance, he slowly got up from the bluestone slab, and took out an old notebook from his pocket.
"Although I don't fully understand the meaning of the content you are about to learn, after all, I have been with the master for many years, and I can generally guess one or two. This is what I have learned about some Buddhist practice in the past ten years. I hope it can be of some help to you.”
After receiving the notebook handed over by Li Jian, Lin Xiu's eyes lit up. He had already seen how extraordinary Li Jian was, so the value of this notebook was naturally immeasurable.
Sincerely bowing to Li Jian's receding back, Lin Xiu opened this extremely precious notebook under the moonlight.
But at the Huangyi residence at this moment, Mu Chen was looking at him, the Fifth Junior Sister, who was good at spells, with a "sneak resentment".
Xu Shi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like this for a long time. Huang Yi finally stopped the iron pestle that was being polished in his hand, snorted coldly, looked at Mu Chen and said, "Hmph, Mu Chen, what do you want to do here?"
Hearing this, Mu Chen smiled a little "shyly", and said: "Junior Sister, you also know that although my cultivation level is not bad, my cultivation is also a waste of resources. This little junior brother just Going up the mountain, we seniors should give him some greetings no matter what. Well, the senior brother really has nothing to sell, so I want to come to the junior sister..."
At the end, Mu Chen's voice gradually became inaudible.
Seeing his tired senior brother look like this at this time, Huang Yi couldn't tell whether it was funny or angry.
"Although I don't know why the master accepted him into the sect, since he has become our junior brother, then others can't bully him!" Huang Yi's voice was a little domineering, which made Mu Chen on the side feel a little timid. Of course.
"Master has just finished speaking today, and I already have a plan in mind, Mu Chen, if I don't expect it, my junior brother should be arranged by the master to go that way." Huang Yi's voice was a little solemn at the moment.
And Mu Chen, who has always been used to making jokes, felt his heart tighten when he heard what Huang Yi said. He didn't doubt Huang Yi's words. After all, what Huang Yi is best at is deduction, but, that road is really... too difficult.
Without waiting for Mu Chen to reply, Huang Yi continued to speak: "In my opinion, Junior Disciple is too kind-hearted. When he goes down the mountain in the future, it is inevitable that some people will take the opportunity to bully him, so before dinner, I went to the firewood room Discussed this matter with the senior brother in detail."
When Mu Chen heard this, his spirit was shaken, and he hurriedly asked: "Then what did the senior brother say?"
"Unexpectedly, you really care about this little junior brother in the future." Huang Yi looked at Mu Chen in surprise.
But she didn't know that Mu Chen had always been in the teacher's school, and although he had two junior sisters, he didn't pay much attention to him. It was not easy for a junior brother to come here, and he finally became a senior brother, of course he wanted to show off his demeanor as a senior brother.
"Eldest brother said, when the younger brother came down the mountain, the six of us brothers and sisters gave him a treasure for self-defense. The elder brother has already thought about how to make this treasure. After three days, we will start to build it. After Huang Yi finished speaking, he glanced at Mu Chen provocatively.
"Huang Yi, what kind of eyes are you looking at?"
"I'm afraid that someone will not forge at all just to gamble!"
"You're talking nonsense, why don't we make a bet? Just bet that I, Mu Chen, will never make a bet until this treasure is finished."
"That's what you said, a gentleman..."
"Quick horse whip."
The night is like water, only a few scattered stars are still shining in the empty night sky, but the whole land is completely dark at this time.
Lin Xiuxiu, who was lying on the bed, kept flipping through Li Jian's notes. As Lin Xiu expected, in the notes, Li Jian described in detail all his perceptions from the time he just started to the near completion of Buddhist exercises.
The more he looked down, the more obscure Lin Xiu felt. He knew that this was due to his lack of realm, so he stopped forcing it now.
Three days later, when the first ray of sunlight shone into Gui Yuanzong in the morning, Lin Xiu got up from the bed like a carp.
After hastily washing up, Lin Xiu didn't disturb the others. He glanced at Yubai in the sky from a distance, and hurried towards the top of the mountain.
Not long after, Lin Xiu, who was still on the mountain road, saw Wu Kejun still in green clothes, standing quietly on the top of the mountain, his robes fluttering under the breeze, showing the demeanor of an immortal.
Wu Kejun seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned to look at Lin Xiu on the mountain road.
When Lin Xiu came in front of Wu Kejun, he first saluted the master in front of him very respectfully, and then looked at Wu Kejun with eyes full of expectation.
Seeing the appearance of his future little disciple, Wu Kejun couldn't help but chuckle.
First, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and then gently stroked his beard that seemed to be drooping to his chest.
These days, Huang Yi and Mu Chen also wrote down their respective cultivation experiences and presented them to Lin Xiu, and they also explained to Lin Xiu one by one what they didn't understand.
This made Lin Xiu secretly grateful, and began to regard Guiyuanzong as his own home.
After getting along with each other for these two months, Lin Xiu also found that his senior brothers and sisters can all be called wonderful.
Except for cooking for them, Fourth Senior Brother Mu Chen spent the rest of the time lying on the top of the mountain and sleeping alone. The Fifth Senior Sister, Huang Yi, was always grinding with a three-inch-wide iron pestle. As for the third senior brother Li Jian, it was difficult for Lin Xiu to see him, and he didn't know what he was busy with.
-Mu Chen and Huang Yi just laughed and said nothing about this, as if they were hiding something from him, but although Lin Xiu was curious, he was exhausted from working on his muscles and bones all day long. There is no extra energy to explore Mu Chen's secret.
After a few more days like this, one morning, when Lin Xiuxiu was about to go to the back mountain to cut firewood, he found Mu Chen, who was unkempt and bloodshot in the eyes, at the gate of Guiyuanzong's Tiandao Hall. Surprised.
"Haha, little brother, brother, I finally succeeded, and now she will lose the bet between Huang Yi and me, haha." Mu Chen, who was lying on the steps, saw Lin Xiu and hurried forward to grab Lin Xiu Xiu's clothes corner, said excitedly.
After finishing speaking, Mu Chen ignored Lin Xiu, got up from the ground, patted the skirt of his clothes casually, and rushed towards the main vein, shouting as he ran, "Yellow clothes , you come out to me, this time you finally lost, haha."
But before he could go in, Huang Yi who came to the door at some point kicked Mu Chen to the ground.
"What are you chattering about? You don't feel ashamed at such an adult." Huang Yi gave Mu Chen a hard look.
"That..." Mu Chen, who had been kicked over, finally regained his senses. In terms of cultivation, he was not yet Huang Yi's opponent, so his voice naturally faltered.
"Mu Chen, do you have a clue about the matter that was entrusted to you?" Hearing Mu Chen's scream, Li Jian also came to the door and asked softly.
Seeing Mu Chen nodding, Li Jian and Huang Yi looked at each other, both of them were a little excited.
"Little brother, you still go to the back mountain. When you come back at night, the brothers will give you a surprise." Li Jian looked at Lin Xiu and said softly.
At this time, in a certain corner of Qingyun Mountain, Wu Kejun dressed in a blue black robe raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles. These apprentices are getting more and more interesting.
