Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 117: View of Bones
There is a dry well behind Jiangfu Temple. At this time, Qingyue was looking into the well, and Baishao unexpectedly discovered that there was a white light coming out of the well, and there was a faint image of Bodhisattva?
With curiosity in her heart, Bai Shao slowly approached the dry well.
Swish!
A white light flashed by, and Bai Shao was startled. She tried to dodge quickly, but how could an ordinary person's speed match that of the magical light? Bai Shao was inevitably illuminated by it.
Bai Shao stood still, without any thoughts, allowing a skeleton to enter her dream.
In the dream, white bones appeared in the temple of God, evolving all things and climbing up the high-rise building.
The twelve-story building comes from the sky, with white bones as the image and gods as the matchmakers. Once the Bodhisattva appears in the dream, the ultimate Dharma of Buddhism is in the heart.
"Bone View!"
After a long time, Bai Shao finally woke up slowly, sensing the wonderful method in her mind. She was a little confused for a moment. This seemed to be a method of cultivation. After accepting the inheritance of the White Bone Contemplation Method, Bai Shao seemed to have opened her spiritual eyes and could understand many things as soon as she thought about them.
Bai Shao suddenly thought of Jia Le. She used to think that Jia Le was out of her reach, but now it seems that as long as she practices well according to the White Bone Contemplation method, she may be able to reach the same level as Jia Le.
Thinking of this, Bai Shao couldn't help but feel a little yearning.
From then on, worldly thoughts are gone and the Buddha’s heart arises.
"Today's method was all obtained from that Taoist priest, and he also saved my life before. I thought I could only repay him in the next life, but now it seems that I still have a chance. As long as I practice hard, I will definitely be able to help that Taoist priest. Unfortunately, I still don't even know his name."
After experiencing such a major event, with great ups and downs in mood, it is difficult for ordinary people to remain calm, but Bai Shao seemed to be a natural female Bodhisattva. At this moment, the image of white bones appeared in her mind, and when the Bodhisattva made up her mind and accepted the inheritance, Bai Shao had actually already started to understand the contemplation of white bones and embarked on the path of cultivation.
The Buddhist method is famous for being easy in the early stages and difficult in the later stages. However, there is a limit to how easy it can be. To be able to master such a wonderful method in a moment is no longer something that an ordinary genius can do. It may be due to the magic of inheritance, but if it were not for the fate with Bai Shao, he would not have been able to achieve such a level. It can only be said that it was a coincidence and it was predetermined.
There were many monks in Jiangfu Temple before. If anyone could get this opportunity, it would not be Bai Shao's turn.
A crow flew over the sky above Jiangfu Temple. Jiale watched all this through the crow's vision and was a little surprised. He knew that Bai Shao had good qualifications and wanted to bring her under Uncle Jiu's tutelage, but because of her old age, he gave up the idea. He didn't want this sect to reject her, but the Buddhist sect would accept her.
But if you think about it carefully, Bai Shao is really suitable for the Buddhist method. Buddhists focus on the mind and the physical body is just a stinky skin bag to them. When they cultivate to a certain level, they focus on the golden body and abandon the physical body for the sake of selflessness and others. Therefore, for Buddhists, age is really not a problem.
Unexpectedly, Bai Shao succeeded in defeating the demon this time, but Jia Le was not envious of this. Jia Le was not going to practice the Buddhist methods. It sounds simple to say that practicing both Buddhism and Taoism, it seems that no matter which novel it is, as long as Buddhism and Taoism coexist, the protagonists will practice both Buddhism and Taoism and finally walk into another world.
However, after entering Mount Mao, Jiale knew the boundaries. Taoism does not prohibit practice, but if Jiale really practiced the Buddhist methods, it would be almost impossible for him to be promoted to the true teachings. The Buddhist techniques have a great impact on the Taoist heart, and the concepts are also very different from those of Taoism. Buddhism is Taoism, that is to say, the source, but it has developed to this day and has long been a battle between Buddhism and Taoism.
The true disciples of Maoshan can be taught the Maoshan dharma, which is much better than the Buddhist practices obtained by chance outside. Losing sight of the essential and pursuing the trivial is not the right mindset for a cultivator. What's more, Uncle Jiu once said that Buddhist opportunities are spread all over the earth and will appear when they meet the right person.
However, such opportunities are basically basic methods. If one wants to practice in depth, one must enter the Buddhist temple to receive the teachings. For cultivators like Jia Le, it is not only useless, but also confusing.
Shaking his head, he ordered Xiao Qi to return, and Jia Le continued on his way.
After the matter was settled, Jiale did not enter the village again. He directly summoned Wuzhuima and returned to Renjia Town. He was a little worried that those women would notify the villagers to go up the mountain after returning, and Baishao would inevitably be in trouble at that time. That was why Jiale kept Xiaoqi to look after him. But now, there was no need for that. Although Baishao had just entered the sect, her strength was probably not as good as Wencai and Qiu Sheng.
It was certainly not enough to deal with Jiale, but it was easy to deal with the villagers of Qianli Town.
It can be considered as a cause and effect, and maybe this white peony will really be useful in the future.
It was still dark when they entered Renjia Town. Jiale had not expected that it would be so smooth. Looking at Jiale's return trip that day, Uncle Jiu was also a little surprised.
"Is the background of Monk Xuanming so easy to investigate?"
Jiale didn't keep anyone in suspense and told Uncle Jiu directly what happened in Qianli Town, even including the fact that Bai Shao finally obtained the Buddhist inheritance.
Uncle Jiu's face looked strange when he heard this. He was not surprised that the monk Xuanming had turned into a demon, but he was surprised that Bai Shao had been able to pass on the Buddhist method.
In today's world, spiritual practice is limited by the laws of nature. There are always some people who are unwilling to accept this. There are countless people who feed the devil or turn into devils. Uncle Jiu is no longer surprised. However, he has heard about ordinary people inheriting the Buddhist tradition before, but this is the first time it has happened to him.
"You are right. Miss Bai Shao is indeed a little old. It is indeed difficult for her to achieve anything by learning the methods of our Maoshan Sect. On the contrary, the methods of Buddhism are more suitable for her. However, the appearance of white bones and the spirit of Bodhisattva behind her is somewhat similar to the Buddhist method of 'viewing white bones'. It seems that she really has a good chance.
If you establish good karma now, you may gain something in the future."
Listening to Uncle Jiu's words, Jia Le couldn't help but nodded. What he admired most was not Uncle Jiu's practice, but Uncle Jiu's state of mind. In fact, it was not just Buddhist practice, Taoist mind cultivation was even more important than Buddhism. At this juncture of breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, among the many factors that affected the breakthrough, the state of mind was more important.
"I thought so ," Jiale nodded and continued, "Master, I will be going back tomorrow. I have stayed here for quite some time, so it is time to go back."
go back!
Uncle Jiu was startled when he heard the words, and he was actually a little reluctant, which was rare. The last time he had this feeling was when he said goodbye to Jiale in Dongtou Town. It must be said that Jiale really has a kind of magic that always makes people feel reluctant to part with him. However, Uncle Jiu is not a person who is stuck in emotions, otherwise he would not have left his dear junior sister and went up the mountain to learn skills, giving up such a good opportunity.
"Okay, it's time to go back. We're not far away, so just come over when you're free."
Jiale naturally nodded when he heard this.
On the second day, Jiale left the charity cemetery with the farewell of Uncle Jiu, Qiu Sheng and Wencai.
With the black horse, Jiale was about to return in the evening.
"Hmm, demonic energy!"
Passing the grove, Jiale reined in his horse and stopped. After practicing till now, no demon below the level of a demon general could hide from his perception.
The Qimen Bagua unfolded, and Jiale's eyes were as fast as lightning, looking towards a treetop in front of him.
A bolt of thunder came down and exploded in the treetops.
scare!
A black shadow was attacked by thunder and fell directly to the ground. Jiale walked closer and found that it was a fox spirit, but it was just a spirit demon. To Jiale, it was really nothing. It just added an energy bead to the unknown space.
Now the energy beads in the unknown space have increased again.
One and a half divine energy beads were obtained from Peony Flower General, and the remaining half belonged to Mu Li, which has not been used up yet.
There are five Qi Refining-grade energy beads. Except for the energy bead of Monk Xuanming, the others were obtained through seven spirit crows during the attack on Baili Huating.
There are more energy beads at the Qi Transformation level, which may be able to help him break through the Spirit Transformation level, but they are enough for the practice in the Qi Refining level.
Collect the fox's body and maybe make a futon when I go back.
As the saying goes, the closer you are to home, the more you feel homesick. Looking at the yard in front of him, Jiale was filled with mixed feelings. Cultivation is not a way to forget about love. For Jiale, this small yard will always be his home.
"Master, I'm back."
In the yard, Simu was still practicing. He was surprised to hear Jiale's voice. He quickly opened the gate and was even happier when he saw Jiale standing right in front of him.
"You little brat, you've been running around outside a lot. I thought you were bewitched by some vixen and didn't want to come back."
Simu was joking, but Jiale directly handed the fox body to Simu.
"Master, don't tell me, there really was a vixen who wanted to seduce your disciple, but unfortunately she was not strong enough and was killed by your disciple."
Looking at the vixen in Jiale's hand, Simu was speechless. He was just joking in the first place. How could he not know Jiale's state of mind? Even he, as a master, felt inferior to her. Let alone a vixen, even if Su Daji was placed in front of him, well, Su Daji would not work, because she was the ancestor of vixen. He was afraid that Jiale could not control her.
"Okay, stop joking and come in. Your practice is like taking a magic medicine. How come your practice is so fast? Come in and talk to me."
In the room, Jiale and Simu were chatting. Apart from the unknown space, there was nothing to hide from Simu. Simu was dizzy listening to the stories one by one. If Jiale had not been so reliable, Simu would have thought that Jiale was telling a story.
"It really is your destiny. I have been driving corpses for so many years, but none of them is as exciting as your trip."
Upon hearing that Jiale had broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, Simu felt numb. Not only was the pressure gone, but it was as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. Having seen Jiale's rapid cultivation , Simu felt that as a master, he could not be surpassed by Jiale too early. Therefore, in the past few years, he had devoted almost all his attention to cultivation, and the pressure was really not small.
Now that he has been successfully surpassed by Jiale, he doesn't feel that way anymore, nor is he embarrassed by being surpassed by his disciple. After all, this was all predicted a long time ago, but he just didn't expect this day to come so early. Before, Simu might have had some doubts about Jiale's ability to be promoted to the true disciple and lead their Yin-Yang lineage back to Maoshan, but today it seems that this day may not be far away.
Jia Le’s current cultivation level is at the late stage of Qi Refining Realm, which is rounded off to the peak of Qi Refining Realm. One step further will lead him to the Spirit Transformation Realm. Is this still a dream?
"Master, isn't Master Ikkyu at home?"
Hearing Jiale talking about Ikkiu, Simu instantly perked up and said, "I don't know where that old guy has gone. He hasn't come back for almost two months. Maybe he's been bewitched by a vixen. Let's wait a little longer. If he doesn't come back, we can connect the two courtyards. I just think the courtyard is not big enough, so we can each have a room."
Jia Le was a little amused when he heard this. These two enemies were obviously like-minded, but they were always fighting.
After getting up early and doing his morning exercises, Jiale prepared to go to the mountain to fetch water. At this moment, he suddenly thought, how do immortals use water? Directly using magic? It's a bit extravagant.
But if you think about it carefully, maybe the gods really don't use water very much, but Jiale is not so luxurious as to use magic to condense water, so he still has to fetch water from the river.
In Yuyin Mountain, Jiale jumped into the water and after a leisurely swim, he caught two fat fish. Yesterday, Simu had been talking about wanting to eat the fish cooked by Jiale, and Jiale dared not forget it.
"Hey, Jiale, you're back?"
A voice came from the shore, and Jiale also saw Master Ikkyu. It was such a coincidence that Jiale came back the day before and Master Ikkyu came back the next day.
"Yes, Master, we came back together. How was your trip? Did you gain anything?"
Speaking of the harvest, Ikkyu couldn't help but think of the little girl he brought back.
"Don't mention it, I really gained a lot this time. I'll introduce you to a new friend later."
New friends!
Jiale seemed to have thought of something. He thought of the vixen yesterday and the current scene. Could it be that the zombie uncle was coming?
A mutated copper-armored corpse, and no one knows what strength it has.
"Oh, that's perfect. I caught two fat fish, just right for entertaining this new friend."
Fat fish!
Ikkyu's joy froze for a moment, and he then noticed the two fat fish in Jiale's bucket. He couldn't help but want to say something, but the words rolled over in his mouth twice before he finally didn't say it. Alas, he wanted to save the fish, but he was powerless. The fish cooked by Jiale was indeed delicious, and even he felt greedy. In the past, eating with this master and disciple was simply a supreme test of his state of mind.
Looks like I'll have to experience it again today.
Seeing Jiale's reserved aura, which he couldn't even see through, Ikkyu regretted even more. Why didn't he meet Jiale first? Otherwise, it wouldn't be that shameless old man Simu who would be showing off now. How abominable.
Ikkyu fetched some water and returned with Jiale.
Entering the yard, Jiale's spiritual consciousness outside also sensed a little girl in Ikkyu's house. It can be said that Ikkyu was also in a strong state of mind. Buddha wanted to save people, but there was suspicion of sex. A monk brought a little girl back home, which happened in this desolate mountain. Otherwise, who knows how many jokes would have been made.
However, Jingjing is really good-looking. She is wearing rags and has never been dressed up. If she were to dress up, she might be even more beautiful than Ren Zhuzhu and Ren Tingting.
He is just a little younger. Judging from his bone age, he is younger than Jiale.
"Master, remember to bring that new friend over for dinner later!"
Ikkyu responded. Jingjing was just taken in by him, not officially accepted as his disciple. Kaifu Temple did not accept female Bodhisattvas. How to arrange her was still a problem for Ikkyu. However, Jingjing had good qualifications. Ikkyu would feel unwilling if he did not take her with him. Looking at the four girls sitting in front of him, looking very proud, Ikkyu had long wanted to find one with good qualifications. Unfortunately, Jingjing was a girl, otherwise she would be more suitable.
Given Jingjing's beauty, Ikkyu didn't want to take her back to test the monks of Kaifu Temple.
In the room.
"Master, Master Ikkyu is back. I called them to come over for dinner."
Simu had already noticed Master Ikkyu and responded without mercy, "Why did you ask him to do that? I don't know what he was thinking. He actually brought a girl back. Aren't you afraid of disturbing the Buddha's heart and losing your merits?"
His words were full of concern. Jia Le smiled and said, "That girl has good talent. I think you are planning to take her as your apprentice."
apprentice!
Simu thought for a moment, and then he thought of something, and sneered, "Humph, it must be that since you can't dig the wall, you can only find it yourself."
Having said that, it was obvious that Simu felt a lot more relieved.
While Jiale was cooking, Master Ikkyu and Jingjing quickly cleaned up and walked into the Simu courtyard.
"Fellow Daoist Simu, I'm back, why don't you come and greet me?"
Come to think of it, Ikkyu might have missed Jiale more before, but nowadays, Ikkyu obviously misses Simu more. Not seeing him for two months feels like a long time.
Simu walked to the door stubbornly, "I thought you died outside and was just about to take over the courtyard. It seems we have to wait."
Yixiu didn't care about what he heard, but Jingjing was a little restless. Yixiu said that Simu was a great Taoist master, so how could he talk like that? She would not allow anyone to say that about Yixiu. You know, if it weren't for Yixiu, she would probably just be a wandering soul in the wilderness.
"you!"
Seeing Jingjing was about to speak, Yixiu hurriedly stopped Jingjing. The two of them had already gotten used to it. As a junior, Jingjing was not allowed to talk nonsense.
"Hehe, maybe you will die before me. By then, not only the yard, but also Jiale will belong to me."
Seeing that Ikkyu was still determined to do something evil, Simu was angry but said nothing. Jiale had a bright future and was protected by the master. Not to mention Ikkyu, even the great monk of Kaifu Temple could not take Jiale away.
Seeing that Simu didn't answer, Yixiu felt bored and just asked Jingjing to recognize the person.
"Jingjing, meet the Taoist priest."
Jingjing was indignant, but she obeyed, "Master."
Simu had no grudge against the little girl, so he responded with a smile, "Come in, Jiale is cooking. I want to see how long you can endure. Sooner or later you will break the rules. By then, maybe I can take you in."
Yixiu's face turned bitter when he heard that. If he didn't want to introduce Jingjing to the family, he really didn't want to come to Simu's yard at this time. Jiale's cooking skills were getting better and better. Originally, Yixiu believed that in the world of mortals, desires such as power, money, and beauty were the most difficult to deal with and the most important to guard against. But after he met Jiale and Simu, he knew.
Food should be put before power, money and beauty.
"The meal is ready!"
Jiale walked out of the kitchen. Jingjing smelled the fragrance and couldn't help being a little dazed. Then she looked at the elegant Jiale and had only one thought in her mind.
"Is this the genius Jia Le that Master has been talking about all this time, whose cooking is so delicious that it's a crime?"
