Chapter 67
Blue sky and white clouds.

On the vast sea, gulls fly and dance, and the sea-crossing bridge winds like a jade dragon, connecting the islands, majestic and spectacular.

A yacht rides the wind and waves and sails on the sea.

Tang Li was wearing a black peaked cap, sitting in the yacht, looking out the window.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, if you practice the deep prajna paramita for a long time, you will see that all five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all hardships."

"Sariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, perception, perception, action, consciousness, and so on."

……

In the cabin, the recorded chanting Sanskrit is playing.

Traveling all the way around, Tang Li's trip to the islands is coming to an end.

An island appeared in sight.

The island is like a green cow lying on the sea, with beautiful mountains and green waters, steep and strange cliffs and rocks, and the landscape is quaint and solemn.

A Bodhisattva stands on the island, with feet on the lotus seat, fingers in mudra, drooping eyelids, benevolent brows, and overlooking the world.

This is Master Guanyin.

Tang Li came to Haitian Buddhist Kingdom: Mount Putuo.

Yacht landing.

Tang Li followed the crowd and climbed Mount Putuo.

As a holy land of Buddhism, Mount Putuo is full of incense and attracts many tourists all the year round.There are tour groups, individual tourists, and devout believers. In the hustle and bustle, people seek inner peace and pray for peace.

Walk all the way to see the scenery.

Putuo Mountain has three major temples, the temples are filled with incense and people, full of people praying and praying for Buddha.Looking around, there are crowds of people, and in the quiet ancient temple, filled with incense, countless wishes are intertwined and surging.

Mount Putuo has hundreds of peaks, and there are many eminent monks who cultivate in the mountains without caring about worldly affairs.

Tang Li found an unnamed small temple on a secluded mountain peak, donated incense, and stayed here.

The abbot of the small temple is a thin old monk, wearing white washed plain robes, sitting on a futon, chanting scriptures and paying homage to the Buddha, looking clean and simple.

……

Morning bell and evening drum.

Blue Lantern Ancient Buddha.

Tang Li sat in the meditation room, sorting out the materials and notes of this journey.

The account of station C is full of private messages.

Since the release of the "Shanshui" series of videos, Tang has been away for more than 10 days and has not released any new videos. Many fans can't help but urge updates in private messages and ask about the latest situation.

Regarding this, Tang Li is also planning.

He is going to use this trip to the islands as an opportunity to conduct a phased summary of his own practice.

After that, Tang Li checked some current affairs information.

Today, Ningshan City is in a time of development, and there are many related reports in the news, which are in full swing.

Even provincial-level newspapers have made special-edition reports on this.

Ningshan's joint island economy has attracted a lot of attention.

Around 11 o'clock, the monk brought the fasting meal.

A bowl of white rice.

A bowl of water.

Tofu, green vegetables, and two or three vegetarian dishes.

The vegetarian meal is very light and simple.

……

The setting sun sinks, the afterglow pours down, and then the night falls, covering the island Buddhist kingdom.

The mountain is full of lights, and the sound of chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha can be heard from time to time.

Tang Li sat cross-legged on a cliff.

Looking around, there are rocky banks, rocky cliffs, twists and turns, and layers of strange rocks.The cliff cave is half submerged in seawater, the bottom of the cave is connected to the sea, the tide rushes like a cave, slapping the stone wall, and there are bursts of low humming sounds, like Sanskrit sounds.

This is one of the twelve sceneries of Putuo Mountain: Gudong Chaoyin.

This landscape has been famous for a long time.It is said that during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it was also a place where many pilgrims prayed for the blessings of Bodhisattvas.There are even pilgrims jumping off the cliff here, sacrificing their lives and passing away, so as to be reborn in the Western Paradise.For this reason, in ancient times, the county magistrate built a pavilion on the bank, and personally wrote the "Sacrifice of the Body" and set up a monument to prohibit the sacrifice of the body.

Today, there are very few people who gave up their lives, but the pavilions and steles have survived, confirming the history.

Watch the sea and listen to the tide.

Tang Li felt the tranquility and solemnity.

The work and rest of the temple are regular and full.

At around 5 o'clock in the morning, the monks have already started the morning classes.

morning bell.

Chanting sound.

Wash people's hearts.

……

In the bamboo forest, Tang Li was practicing boxing.

In the temple, the sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures came faintly.

There seemed to be a touch of Zen in his fist.

In the world of Chinese martial arts, Buddhist martial arts also occupies an important position, and there is even a saying that the world's martial arts came out of Shaolin.

A reed across the river.

Shaolin Vajra Fist.

72 stunts.

……

All of them have been passed down for a long time and are famous both at home and abroad.

In Buddhist martial arts, the combination with Zen principles is also emphasized.

When he was in Kuncheng, Yunnan, Tang Li had fought against Yelu Mountain, who was from the Buddhist Tantra.At that time, he had given a lion's roar, like a Fomendun.

Of course, Mount Putuo is a sacred place for worshiping Buddha, not Shaolin.

There are no monks on the island, and there is no martial art.

Calm down and close your fists.

Tang Li called up the properties panel.

[Technique]: Eight steps to catch cicadas (proficient 742/1000)

[Attribute Points]: 3.2
As the eight-step chasing cicadas reached the proficient level, Tang Li's understanding and control of this footwork also became more thorough, and it became more proficient and clearer when it was integrated into boxing techniques and even daily practice.

"Assignment."

Tang Li said silently.

Attributes change accordingly.

[Technique]: Catch the cicada in eight steps (consummation)
[Martial Arts]: gallop

[Interpretation]: Walk like a meteor, walk alone for thousands of miles

[Benefit effect]: Greatly improve speed, agility, and breath control.And during high-speed driving, it ensures sensory perception, sensitively senses changes in the environment, and improves instantaneous adjustment capabilities and dexterity.

The eight-step Cicada Catch was promoted to Consummation, transformed into a martial intent: Chi.

……

The sun hangs in the air.

As time goes by, tourists come, and there are more and more people in the mountains. Ancient temples, forests, cliffs, and ancient roads have begun to become noisy and prosperous again. A Buddhist holy place.

Tang Li strolled away.

Watching people come and go.

Like all beings.

"Hey, it's him again?"

Suddenly, Tang Li stopped and looked around.

On the stone path, a person is kneeling on the stone steps, bowing at three steps, kowtowing at six steps, kneeling at nine steps, walking up the steps step by step, pious and silent.

This is a middle-aged man in his thirties and 40s, with short inches and a thin face. He is wearing a gray layman's uniform, cloth shoes, and a layer of cloth pads tied on his knees. He has already worn out as he knelt down.

Tang Li saw this person yesterday.

I don't know if he spent the night in the mountains, or has he bowed down since yesterday until now?
In Mount Putuo, there are many pilgrims who prostrate themselves.

It's just that this man seems to be particularly pious. I don't know if he has some hard-to-find wish in his heart, or he has something that needs to pray to the Buddha in order to find inner peace.

"Is this faith..."

Tang Li's eyes flickered slightly, he didn't pay any more attention, and left on the stone steps.

At 15 o'clock in the afternoon, the clouds gathered and there were sudden showers.

Rain falls.

People hid in temples and pavilions to avoid the rain.

Tang Li sat in the pavilion, watching the rain and the forest.

"Ok?"

On the stone road again, he saw the man kneeling silently in the rain and walking up the steps.
