However, the progress of the Tathagata's golden body was extremely slow. He would sit in the main hall almost every day and stare at the two-foot-tall statue for a long time, but in his mind, the Buddha statue under the sun was blurry.

It's very far away from the sun.

There is no progress, and he is not impatient, because he has made progress in the other two cultivation methods. In the "Vajra Zen Palm", he has been able to perform five "Vajra Slapping the Table" or three "Vajra Pushing the Mountain". This palm is extremely energy-consuming.

.

He also specially tested the power and found a half-dry tree as thick as an arm. He hit it with his palm and it snapped immediately. The effect was very good. Wuyou saw it at that time and asked him

He was about to go, but he was embarrassed not to give it to him. After all, they came earlier than him. He also asked Wu Nui why he didn't ask for it earlier. After all, everyone in the temple knew about his martial arts practice.

Wufan's answer was very strange. He said he didn't know he could chop firewood with this skill!

He practiced it together to make it easier to chop wood.

Another Kung Fu "Buddha's Finger", he can point one finger, and then his body will be hollowed out. How powerful is it? He can easily break a hole in a stone wall. At that moment, he feels that the stone wall is just a piece of tofu. When he doesn't

When he pointed out the second finger with all his strength, he almost broke his finger, and the severe pain brought him back to reality.

He carefully read each of the dozens of scriptures he brought back from the mountain. The benefit of chanting scriptures is that the spiritual platform is clean. After reading these scriptures, he felt that his whole body was refreshed, without sadness or joy.

It seems to have sublimated. Sometimes I have been busy for a long time during the day, and after reading the scriptures a few times, I feel that most of the fatigue in my body has dissipated.

As he recited the scriptures, he also understood the Buddhist principles in them and understood some things.

The abbot was still elusive, but their food was getting better and better. Wuyou would still pick some mushrooms from time to time, but he still wouldn't eat them at all. Monk Kong would eat them every time, but the abbot would pick them up.

On this day, he was staring at the statue of Buddha in the main hall in a daze.

"Wu Sheng, my master is going down the mountain, will you go?" Monk Kong called from outside the door.

"Go." Wu Sheng suddenly jumped up.

It has been more than ten days in the temple. Although I have something to do all day long and I don’t feel bored at all, it is also good to go down the mountain to relax. As Monk Kong Kong said a few days ago, practice is also relaxing. These days he

When I think about how to visualize the golden body of Tathagata, I feel like I'm going to be obsessed. I need to go down the mountain and walk around. Maybe I'll figure it out all at once.

As usual, he found a wooden stick and took it with him for self-defense.

"The beasts and spirits in the mountains are very peaceful during this time."

"I'm just prepared. What if I encounter something blind? What are we going to do down the mountain?"

"Exchange for some food."

"There are several bags of rice, and they were all eaten so quickly."

"You eat several bowls every time, so naturally you eat quickly." Kong Kong said.

"You say that as if I'm a loser. Senior Brother Wufan eats more than me. Why don't you talk about him?"

"Wu Tie cuts wood every day, cleans the temple, and works hard without complaint."

"Hiss, why do I hear you saying that I don't care whether I eat or not? I am practicing." Wusheng said, "And I am very successful. In addition, I have reclaimed an open space outside the temple. I need some when I go down the mountain.

Once the seeds are planted, maybe you can harvest food next year.”

"Well, this is good, this is good." Kong Kong said with a smile.

They went down the mountain to Ningjia Village and exchanged some food with the people in the village. This time Wu Sheng could clearly feel that the people in the village were much more enthusiastic towards them. Some people even invited the two of them to sit at home.

Sitting down, Kong Kong smiled and responded one by one.

After having a fast meal at a family's house, they were preparing to go back to the mountain. On the way, they met an old man running back from the mountain. His body was covered with weeds and he looked very panicked.

"Hey, uncle, where is your sheep?" Someone in the village asked after seeing this.

"Return the sheep, it will be good if I can save my life." The old man said.

"What's wrong?"

"I was herding sheep just now, and one of them was missing, so I looked around. I heard the sound of sheep bleating in the valley. I stood on it and looked down. What do you think I saw?"

"What?"

"Snake, such a thick black snake!" The old man stretched out his hands and gestured. It was thicker than a bucket.

"It opened its mouth and sucked the sheep into its mouth. I was so scared that I turned around and ran away, for fear that I would be eaten by it if I ran too slow." The old man said with lingering fear.

"Are you wrong? How can there be such a big snake in the mountains?!" Several people in the village were surprised after hearing this.

"It can't be wrong, it absolutely can't be wrong. I have been herding sheep in the mountains for so many years. How can a snake see it wrong?!" said the old man.

After hearing this, Wu Sheng took a deep breath and felt that his mind was a little confused.

There are wolves in the mountains. This is understandable, after all, the mountains are so big, but this big snake as thick as a bucket is surprising. It must have become a spirit, right?

"Master?" He turned around and found that Monk Kong was also deep in thought.

"Um?"

"Can the abbot handle this snake?" Wu Sheng said.

The first thing he thought of was the skinny old monk. His domineering and heroic appearance when he rushed out with a knife to discuss Buddhism with the wild beasts all over the mountains was still fresh in his memory. Unknowingly, he had mistaken Abbot Kongkong for Lan Ruo.

The guardian of the temple, with him around, you will feel at ease.

"It's hard to say. You have to ask the abbot." Kong Kong said.

"Let's go back to the mountains."

"Two masters, are you going back to the mountains?" The old man asked when he saw that the two men were leaving.

"Yes, we have to go back to the temple."

"You have to be careful, that snake may have become a spirit!" the old man reminded kindly.

Kong Kong thanked the old man, turned around, called Wu Sheng, and walked towards the mountain.

When there is no life, I walk and think.

Buddhist sutras are useful for ghosts, but not for animals such as tigers, wolves, insects, and snakes. Even if you preach sutras to them, they won’t understand. Wu Sheng feels that his cultivation level is not high enough.

The sky is falling, golden lotuses are pouring from the earth, and everything is listening. For such a big snake, if the palm of the Buddha hits it, it is probably about the same as scratching it. As for the finger of the Buddha, it is hard to say whether it can pierce its skin.

If you encounter someone, you will most likely end up burping.

"Master, were there such big snakes in the mountains before?"

"No, he was saved by the abbot before he grew up. He should have come from other places, maybe just passing by." Kong Kong said.

"hope so."

Walking on the path in the mountains, Wu Sheng looked around nervously.

"Hey, why is it suddenly so quiet in the forest?"

He found that when he went up the mountain in the afternoon, the forest suddenly became quiet. The birds and insects that had been chirping in the morning could no longer be heard.
