Chapter 841: The Method of Self-Cultivation

Although many things have changed along the way, for example, Monkey Sun did not wear the gold steel ring, but was still treated obediently by Li Yunfei, but many things have not changed at all, and Zhu Bajie is still being treated by Li Yunfei. Even though Sun Houhou has conquered him, he still likes to argue with Wukong.

Just like the original drama, when passing through Futu Mountain, I still met a very powerful Zen Master Wuchao. As for how powerful he was, it was initially speculated that his combat power should be much higher than Monkey Sun.

What Li Yunfei was most curious about was that the old monk still taught his own Heart Sutra just like in the original drama. He thought it was just a clichéd Buddhist sutra, so Li Yunfei really didn't take it seriously and just went through the motions.

Unexpectedly, after listening carefully, I felt like I had an enlightenment. This Heart Sutra is actually a very good cultivation method. It talks about a cultivation method that can cultivate the self and achieve the soul body. It only requires self-cultivation. Without asking for any external conditions, even if the five senses and six thoughts are blocked, as long as there is still a trace of spiritual consciousness, you can practice this method. It is indeed very miraculous.

No eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body or mind, no color, sound, fragrance, touch, no vision, even the unconscious world, no ignorance, and no end of ignorance...

The simple Heart Sutra of a few hundred words gave Li Yunfei a great inspiration, especially the situation in the dream. It seemed that he was sealed with five senses and six consciousnesses, unable to practice. This set of exercises is simply specialized. To cope with the practice in that state.

Although I don’t know whether the dream is true, if it is true, then this Heart Sutra can continue to practice self-cultivation in that state, strengthen the soul, and finally achieve the Nascent Soul...

"Thank you Zen Master for not hesitate to teach me the method." After writing down the special cultivation method, Li Yunfei quickly saluted and thanked him.

"There is no need to be polite, everything has a cause and effect!" Zen Master Wuchao returned the courtesy slightly, said something unclear, and then directly returned to his bird's nest on the clouds... Li Yunfei is a character who must repay any hatred and repay kindness. , I have obtained the benefits of others in vain, and I have no ability to repay him for the time being, but I will remember it in my heart.

It wasn't until the three of them walked away that the old monk in the bird's nest showed an excited smile.

"This man is sincere. I think as long as he successfully completes his great cause, I must have a share of my merits!" The old Zen master muttered, and the figure gradually faded away, and the bird's nest was reduced to ashes.

…

The road is long, winter turns to spring, and it has been ten months since we left Chang'an. Although ten months have passed, we have only walked less than one-fifth of the journey, and there are more and more monsters on the road. , the future journey may become slower and slower. This great undertaking cannot be completed in a short time.

Although the current Li Yunfei is not like the original Tang Seng, who is purely a burden and can even deal with some little monsters with his own hands, but if he encounters a truly powerful monster, he still has no ability to protect himself, so he will still be in trouble from time to time. . Of course, there are also some cases where Li Yunfei did this deliberately, so as to avoid the failure of Guanyin Bodhisattva's painstakingly arranged plan to increase merit and blame himself.

After more than half a year of careful analysis, I roughly figured out what the purpose of retrieving the scriptures was. In fact, it was not as simple as going to the West to retrieve the scriptures. It's that great merits have appeared in the world under the operation of heaven, and the arrangement of the scripture-retrieving team is completely the result of the compromise between the strengths of all parties. There are two people from the heaven, one person from the Buddha world, and one person from the dragon clan to divide the power of these merits.

Of course, these are just pure speculations, but no matter what the reason is, it has nothing to do with me. All I want is that after the mission is completed, I can return with that one benefit...

"Ouch..." The sudden appearance of the tiger interrupted him. Li Yunfei, who was sitting on the horse with his eyes closed and concentrating, certainly didn't have to worry at all when encountering a tiger in the current situation. Not to mention his two apprentices, it was his own wooden stick. , can take down beasts like tigers and lions.

"Master, there's a tiger monster here. It looks like it's a cannibal. Can it be beaten to death?" Sun Houhou asked deliberately before taking action.

"Well, let me take a look first and identify it. Maybe we just broke into its territory!"

"I'll go if you have the order." Sun Houhou is sincerely belligerent. Whenever he encounters a monster, he always rushes forward excitedly. Zhu Bajie also wants to show off his fighting power, so he grabs a rake and rushes forward.

Li Yunfei also jumped off the horse, patted the white dragon horse and let him move around freely. However, he took out a Tuan Pu and began to practice the secret method of the Heart Sutra. After acquiring this secret method, Li Yunfei would always practice it whenever he had time. As for He said there were some little monsters around, but he really didn't take it seriously. If he dared to get close, he would be knocked unconscious with a stick...

In the past few days, Li Yunfei had successfully knocked out several little monsters that came close to him. Li Yunfei also became a little arrogant without realizing it. Suddenly he felt something approaching quickly from behind. He knocked back with a stick out of habit, and it hit his forehead. , but this monster seemed to be stronger, the wooden stick was broken directly, and then there was a foul smell, and suddenly a strong wind blew, and the person was blown into darkness, and he was knocked unconscious in the blink of an eye.

"... Damn, you're so careless." He couldn't help but say something before fainting.

…

When he woke up again and was tied into a rice dumpling, the monsters were not in a hurry to eat their own flesh. Everything was an arranged plot. They just suffered from these wild monsters and were deceived into gathering together. The final result was always They were wiped out by the group, and only a handful of them survived.

If my guess is correct, the person I encountered this time should be the Yellow Wind Monster. That guy was definitely sent here to trap the little demon. After the incident, he returned to Tathagata, but the little demons within a few hundred miles were completely cleared out. Perhaps this is also one of the purposes of the Journey to the West, which is to clear out the monsters along the way to facilitate the gods to manage the mortal world. Destined not to be eaten, there were not even any little demons to disturb him. Li Yunfei, who was a little bored, simply continued to practice the Heart Sutra...

After waiting for a whole night, the Monkey King finally turned into a bee and came to the door. This time, he suffered a lot. He found Li Yunfei in a hurry, but found that Li Yunfei had calmly entered the state of practice where he forgot both the self and the world.

"...Master is really amazing. Even in this demon's cave, he can practice with peace of mind." The little bee flew to Li Yunfei's shoulder and called for a long time before waking up Li Yunfei who was in a state of tranquility.

"Of course, you are the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. With you protecting me, who am I afraid of!"

"Of course, of course, with me here, I will make sure that Master is fine!"

"Hurry up and get rid of that monster. Although that monster didn't hurt my life, it's really hateful. I was caught for a long time and didn't even give me water. I was so hungry and thirsty that I could only practice meditation."

"Master, wait a moment. I'll go and kill that monster to vent your anger." Hearing that the monster actually abused his master, Monkey King suddenly got angry and disappeared in an instant.

"...Will the weasel really be killed?"

"Wukong, that monster has a backer, don't kill him casually." Li Yunfei shouted loudly, his voice was quite loud, and the whole monster cave heard it, but it was a little late. Sun Wukong had a violent temper. If he really got angry, his fighting power would soar several times. This time, after using the Dingfengzhu to break the divine wind, the weasel was really killed directly with one stick, and even the Bodhisattva who hurried over had no time to persuade him...

He packed up the body of the weasel a little depressed and went back to report. Although it should be possible to save it, it would take more effort.

"...Old Sun, did you do it on purpose?"

"That guy clearly came down to the mortal world with a mission. It's fine if he captured the master, and we just went through the motions. But he actually dared to treat the master poorly. It's really hateful."

"Don't be so impulsive next time, it will reduce your merits."

"I, Old Sun, don't care about merits."

"You can't say that. As long as you are still living in this world, you are living under the way of heaven. People with high merits can get close to the way of heaven, and often turn misfortune into blessing. It is always good to accumulate more merits."

"Master taught me that I must do more good deeds in the future."

"Well, if you want to truly accumulate merit, you need to do good deeds without thinking about any reward. Do good deeds completely from the heart without asking for anything in return, and you will get more merit. Do not do evil deeds for the sake of smallness, and do not fail to do good deeds for the sake of smallness. Many times, some insignificant small good deeds can gain many blessings..." Li Yunfei taught the three disciples (White Dragon Horse is also a disciple) some tips on earning merit. Doing good deeds without thinking about rewards can gain several times more merit.

"Thank you Master for your teachings, Old Sun knows it."

"Thank you Master, I, Old Pig, also know it, and I must do more good deeds to accumulate merit."

"You're welcome, just remember it, Little White Dragon, let's go!" Li Yunfei patted Little White Dragon's head gently and jumped on it... It seems that he has become a lot lazier recently and likes to ride a horse, but this seems to be the merit of White Dragon Horse. It would be ugly if he didn't ride it.
