After three trips to the canteen, when he arrived at the dining hall, Mu Xiaojiu's two hands could barely be raised, and he felt that his whole arm was extremely sore.

In fact, no matter who you are, you will always use buckets to catch water from the waterfall on the first day of practice, and after you finish it, you have to carry two buckets full of water on the mountain path from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and after three trips, you will definitely not be able to stand it.

When eating breakfast, Mu Xiaojiu's whole person was not good, even the vegetables were trembling, and after a mouthful of rice was sandwiched, there was only a little bit left after shaking.

To be honest, if it weren't for Mu Xiaojiu's willpower being strong enough, he might not even be able to eat directly.

Fortunately, after eating the morning fast, Monk Zuming massaged Mu Xiaojiu for a while with the Shaolin Temple's unique bone-setting medicinal wine, which allowed him to successfully pick up the broom when he sprinkled and swept.

After sprinkling and sweeping, Mu Xiaojiu went to the lecture hall with Monk Qingyun, and the others recited with the lecturer empty-handed. Because Mu Xiaojiu came to the morning class for the first time and was not familiar with the Buddhist scriptures, the little monk Qingyun brought him a Buddhist scripture.

"That's what I smelled. For a while, the Buddha was in the heavens of Enlightenment, speaking for the mother. At that time, the immeasurable worlds of the ten directions, all the Buddhas and the Mahasattva of the Great Phasa came to assemble. Praise Shakyamuni Buddha, who can be in the five turbid and evil worlds, and now has incredible great wisdom and supernatural powers, subduing strong sentient beings, knowing the method of suffering and happiness, sending attendants, and inquiring about the world-honored ......"

Today's morning class in Shaolin Temple is the Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra.

After finishing the morning class, Qingyun took Mu Xiaojiu back to Mu Xiaojiu's guest room, and after applying the bone-setting medicine to Mu Xiaojiu again, he took out the local Tibetan Bodhisattva Sutra, and then began to interpret it for Mu Xiaojiu.

After listening to Wuzhen talk about the Buddhist scriptures, Mu Xiaojiu went to have lunch with Qingyun, and then was sent by Qingyun to Master Xuanku to learn the Diamond Sutra.

The next thing is to have dinner, sprinkle and clean, and then go back to the room to get ready to rest.

"Huh, it's really ...... this day" After Mu Xiaojiu returned to the room, he fell directly onto the bed, not even having time to untie his clothes, and his face was full of exhaustion.

"But don't say it, all day today, I just forgot about the negative emotions and didn't know where to go." Mu Xiaojiu suddenly found out what happened to him today, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Calm down, that's all.

In this way, in the next few days, Mu Xiaojiu repeated this life every day. From the discomfort, exhaustion and hard work at the beginning to the little bit of getting used to it later, the negative emotions in Mu Xiaojiu's heart were actually consumed little by little.

The seventh day of the trip to Shaolin Temple.

Mu Xiaojiu walked out of Xuanku's room with Master Xuanku, and then began to walk around the temple and chat casually.

"Master Mu, the seven-day period is almost over, I don't know how the harvest has been recently?"

Mu Xiaojiu smiled, "I have gained a lot, the negative emotions in my body have calmed down a lot, and now I dare not say that I am calm, but at least I will not be affected by negative emotions for the time being." ”

"That's good." Xuan Ku nodded, "Master Mu, these days, I have seen your performance, it is indeed good." Although you practice evil skills, I do see that although you are not a hero, at least you have a good heart. ”

"Master Xuanku praised it falsely." Mu Xiaojiu learned the appearance of Qingyun in the past few days, and bowed to Xuan Ku with his hands folded.

Master Xuanku smiled, and then continued: "I'll take you to a place later, do one thing, and when that thing is done, you can go down the mountain." ”

"Yes."

As Xuan Ku walked in the temple, he was able to meet some disciples of Shaolin Temple from time to time, and the first reaction of these monks after seeing Xuan Ku was to salute him, and Xuan Ku did not have a self-conscious identity at all, but would return the salute in the past.

After walking like this for about a stick of incense, Master Xuanku finally brought Mu Xiaojiu to his destination, the Bell Tower

"Master Xuanku." A monk walked over from the door of the bell tower and bowed to Xuan Ku, "I don't know what Master Xuan Ku is doing here?" ”

After returning the salute, Xuan Ku looked at the monk and thought for a while, and then suddenly smiled and said, "I remember, you are Zhiyi, right?" Are you guarding the bell tower today? ”

Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, with a look of gratitude in his eyes, "That's right, Master Xuanku, I am guarding the bell tower today." ”

"Okay, I've brought a junior today, and it's good for him to ring today's bell."

Zhiyi looked at Mu Xiaojiu who was standing next to Xuan Ku with some doubts, but still let go of the side as he said, "Master Xuan Ku, please, you can ring the bell in less than a cup of tea." ”

Xuan Ku nodded at Zhiyi, and then walked up to the bell tower with Mu Xiaojiu.

"Master Xuanku, why did you bring me to ring the bell?" Mu Xiaojiu looked at the clock in front of him and asked a little puzzled.

While asking, Mu Xiaojiu was also looking at the clock in front of him - huge but not bloated, although it has been many years old, but because it is well maintained, it does not look worn, and there is not even a trace of patina on the clock.

Master Xuanku didn't answer Mu Xiaojiu's question until Mu Xiaojiu finished looking at the bell in front of him, and then slowly said, "I brought you to ring the bell, naturally because this bell is not simple." As for why it's not simple, I won't say, and you don't have to ask after the bell rings, you know. ”

Mu Xiaojiu looked at Master Xuanku's silent appearance, and didn't ask any more.

After waiting for a while, Master Xuanku suddenly opened his mouth again, "Okay, it's time to ring the bell soon" As he spoke, Master Xuanku pressed his hand on the bell and clicked six times in turn, "When you ring the bell later, you knock on these six positions in turn, remember?" ”

Mu Xiaojiu closed his eyes and thought carefully for a moment, then nodded, "Remember." ”

"Alright, knock."

Mu Xiaojiu picked up the bell next to him, weighed it twice in his hand, and then hugged it with both hands and rang the first sound heavily.

"Boom!" , it doesn't seem to be any different.

The second sound, still "Knock! However, this time, Mu Xiaojiu seemed to hear something different, but he didn't think of what it was.

"Boom!" The third sound sounded, and Mu Xiaojiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

He suddenly understood why he only struck six times when he was supposed to have struck eleven bells, and why the six bells could not be struck in the same place, but in six positions.

He finally understood, and so, he struck the fourth time very steadily.

After that, the fifth, the sixth.

The six bells suddenly echoed in Mu Xiaojiu's ears into a Buddhist verse.

"Hmmm, what, what, horn? Bellow! ”

At this moment, Mu Xiaojiu suddenly felt that his entire state of mind was different, and at this moment, he suddenly found that he had really reached the point of concentration and calmness.

Mu Xiaojiu silently closed his eyes and let the six-character mantra continue to echo in his heart.

After a long time, he finally opened his eyes and bowed to Master Xuanku, "Master Xuanku, the hard work of teaching the kid for seven days and the grace of ringing the bell tonight will be unforgettable for the kid. ”

Xuan Ku smiled silently, and only said after a while: "Xiao Jiu, it seems that you can see it." ”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, he naturally saw that this clock was not an ordinary clock in Shaolin Temple at all, but a strange clock specially used for meditation.

"Okay, let's go down, later, I'll let Qingyun send you down the mountain."

Looking at the kind face of Master Xuanku, Mu Xiaojiu's words suddenly turned into nothingness, he knew that this time, he owed this monk a great favor.

……

"Qingyun, go back." Mu Xiaojiu gently patted the little monk Qingyun's little head, and then said to him with a smile: "If you don't go back, the temple will close the gate." ”

Qingyun pouted and shook her head, "Send it again." ”

"Okay, Qingyun." Mu Xiaojiu squatted down and looked at Qingyun's eyes, "Sending you a thousand miles will be goodbye, go back quickly, in the future, I will come to see you again." ”

Qingyun looked at Mu Xiaojiu, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

With a hard sniffle, Qingyun nodded heavily and ran towards the top of the mountain.

Mu Xiaojiu watched Qingyun disappear in front of him all the time, and then walked out by himself.

"Zu Ming, how is it?" Master Xuanku put his hands behind his back and looked at Monk Zu Ming who was staring at Mu Xiaojiu's back.

A smile suddenly appeared on the face of Monk Zu Ming, who had always been ancient, and then he bowed slightly, "He is a good boy, although he has a cover on his face, but there is still a trace of innocence in his heart." This kid will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future. ”

Xuan Ku also laughed, "That's right, but Zu Ming, it's time for you to understand the things in the world, this kid is not a simple person now." ”

Zu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No wonder, don't talk about character, just talk about martial arts, I actually saw the shadows of Yan Maniac, Guan Qi, Xiongba and others in him." And this little guy seems to be learning a lot of things. ”

"Well, this kid's martial arts are not low, and he is definitely a good hand. Feng'er has a good temperament, she is not good at intrigue and trickery, and being able to make friends with this child may be of great benefit to Feng'er, and she may be able to save Feng'er's life in the future. Master Xuanku said, suddenly remembering the glance that Mu Xiaojiu had looked at him before leaving.

As a player, this kid must have known about that. Before he left, he stopped talking, was there something going on? And it seems that it is not only Feng'er who is involved, but may also be involved......

Xuanku's face suddenly became solemn.

Zu Ming also seemed to have noticed the strangeness of Xuan Ku, and asked with a frown, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Xuan Ku realized his gaffe, shook his head, and turned to go up the mountain.
