Chapter 0006: The Moon
Several small courtyards have been built on the opposite side of the glacier, ascending with the terrain, each independent and arranged in a staggered manner
This cloth strip not only obstructs vision but also hinders hearing
The lunar treasure tree should bear fruit once every five years, right? asked Fakong.
He set down the moon-white jade cup and formed a seal with both hands
What next
Ning Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Brother Fakong, you should take a break first and rest well to regain your energy."
She floated away gracefully
He smiled; the Jingang Temple is not so particular, as they all use coarse pottery tea cups
It seems that the power of the Qingxin Mantra is insufficient; it can only eliminate distracting thoughts and refresh the mind, but it cannot affect the secretion of hormones such as dopamine.
After reciting the Heart Purification Mantra once, Fa Ning remained distracted, leaving Fa Kong at a loss for what to do
I have tried many times in the temple, for many years, and it is impossible to succeed
The gentle light of the moon falls softly
Fanin spends all day at the Jingang Temple; how could he possibly resist a beauty like Ning Zhenzhen?
Senior Brother! Fa Ning came rushing from the valley, his monk robe billowing, bringing with him a gust of strong wind
Fakong released his hand seal and slowly said: "Could the predecessors of the Great Thunder Sound Temple and the Pure Land Temple not resolve this?"
May I touch it?
The law of emptiness shook its head
It resembles a peach tree of similar height to him, emanating a soft glow.
The Taiyin Baoshu is of utmost importance to the Mingyue An, and these two conditions are merely trivial matters
That is indeed the case
However, as a guest, it is better to say less
Fakong cast the rejuvenation spell on several flowers in the flowerbed
Suddenly, it became as dark as night, the sound of the stream grew distant, and even the rustling of the green bamboo could not be heard
The law of emptiness points to the soil beside: "Insert | into it, and pour some water."
Fang Ning hurriedly clasped his hands in salute, his chubby face flushed as if intoxicated, his gaze darting about, unable to meet Ning Zhenzhen's eyes directly, and he spoke in a soft and timid voice
The melted snow on the mountain forms a river two zhang wide, winding past the pine forest, where the sound of flowing water can be heard in the Mingyue Monastery.
The law of emptiness does not allow for the lamentation of the formidable branches of sweet dew
Ning Zhenzhen brought a pot of clear water
Sigh! The monk sighed deeply and shook his head: "Difficult! Difficult!"
"Come for a visit, you must take a look." Ning Zhenzhen said, "The abbot has already agreed, regardless of whether it can be cured or not, you may observe the 'Moonlight Bodhisattva's Sutra of Wisdom.'"
When touched by the branch of sweet dew, this orb of bright light instantly spread out, merging into the void
Good
Ning Zhenzhen nodded bitterly: "Yes"
"Junior Sister Ning, since you are here, why not go directly to see the treasure tree?" Fakong stepped into the small courtyard, his gaze wandering.
Fa Kong smiled and shook his head, then sat down in the small pavilion
This branch is dim and clearly beyond saving; even a healthy branch would not take root, let alone this one
I did not expect the power of the dual approach to be so formidable, it is truly astonishing. Fortunately, as it concerns the Lunar Treasure Tree, Ning Zhenzhen will not disclose it.
The Wheel of Time Tower is in a state of temporal stasis
Ning Zhenzhen took a plain handkerchief from Luo Xiu and handed it to Fakong
Have you found the problem
It seems as if a year's growth has been condensed into a mere half an hour; the tender sprout gradually grows, and under Ning Zhenzhen's astonished gaze, it transforms into a tree over three meters tall, surpassing the nearby Taiyin Baoshu by more than a meter
She turned around and handed it to Fakong
Mingyue An is located at the foot of Mingyue Peak, nestled among the pine forest, with red walls and green tiles, faintly shrouded in curling smoke from cooking.
The tea is good tea, but the brewing is not done properly, which has wasted such fine tea leaves, what a pity
The profound emptiness silently laments that the wisdom and insight are indeed remarkable
The expression on Fa Kong's face was indifferent, yet he was astonished within his heart
What illness is he/she suffering from
Just it. The path of emptiness and the way.
The law obscures its own eyes
Mingyue An will agree to these two conditions
This moon fruit is also dimmer than the other eleven.
He slowly released his hand, gazing regretfully at the Moonlight Treasure Tree before him, and sighed
Fanning ran wildly like the wind, leaning on Fakong's shoulder.
As for the method, he indeed thought of it
It has been cured, so how could I offend Sister Ning?
If others cannot succeed, it does not necessarily mean that I cannot succeed
This orb of light represents a lifespan of one year, transferred to his hand through the branch of sweet dew, and conveyed to the tree branch.
Ning Zhenzhen transitioned from shock to numbness
This Shadowy Treasure Tree Thorn | has revealed the usage of the Dew Branch
It is alright
Ning Zhenzhen smiled gracefully and returned the gesture of courtesy.
Beneath the rockery, there is a small pavilion where one can enjoy the sight of bamboo and flowers.
Alright. The plain towel was pulled away, and Fakong found himself back in front of the small courtyard.
It was not until a maidservant brought in tea that Faning listlessly sat down beside Fakong, his mind elsewhere
Ning Zhenzhen handed him the plain handkerchief
Fanning stared forlornly at the gate of the courtyard, his gaze lingering for a long time without returning.
Fa Kong took the tea cup and examined it carefully
The precious tree has two branches that are unremarkable, and on one of the branches hangs a lunar fruit
It is not an illness, but rather the end of one's time has come, which cannot be altered by human effort
On the left is a flowerbed, where six types of fresh flowers are blooming and exuding their fragrance, while on the right is a bamboo forest, rustling softly.
Ning Zhenzhen gently placed her hand on his shoulder, and his body began to float. The sound of flowing water grew increasingly distant. After a dozen breaths, his feet touched the ground.
The white garments are as pure as snow, and the dark brows are filled with sorrow
Although the courtyard is small, it is tranquil, elegant, and refined
Three individuals left the Medicine Valley
Fakong smiled
It? "Ning Zhenzhen hesitated.
Although Mingyue Monastery has a good relationship with Jingang Temple, and they are close neighbors, with only a distance of one hundred miles between them, there is still a sense of unease
... ... it is possible, but one must be cautious.
Dust-like specks of light float and disperse, gradually settling onto the branches and leaves, merging into the luminescence of the tree trunk
Fanning only withdrew his gaze reluctantly after her graceful figure had completely disappeared, turning to Fakong and asking, "Senior brother, has it been cured?"
Fakong gently tapped the branch with his hand
Having said that, she turned away with a cold expression.
Ning Zhenzhen said: "As for the 'Moonlight Bodhisattva Sutra of Wisdom', it will be brought over by Master Lianyu."
Fanning nodded vigorously
In the pitch-black cave, a luminescent tree caught his eye
On each of the twelve branches hangs a fruit the size of a fist, resembling a honey peach
It is truly painful to consume a year of lifespan, yet the effects are indeed immediate and remarkable
He speculated that the masters from the Great Thunder Sound Temple and the Pure Karma Temple were attempting to heal the Taiyin Treasure Tree
Ning Zhenzhen no longer hesitated, her right index finger, resembling a jade rod, gently swept, and a branch fell into her left palm
Fakong smiled indifferently, sitting beside the stone table in the small pavilion, inhaling the fragrance wafting from the flowerbed, and activated the Taiyin small refining form
I will go report to the master. " Ning Zhenzhen said expressionlessly: "Please wait a moment.
Yes
Ning Zhenzhen discovered that it had actually sprouted new tender shoots, and she looked at it in confusion before glancing at Fakong, thinking that she must have seen it wrong
... ...
I would like to obtain a branch and a lunar fruit, as well as a small lunar refining form
One can cultivate a new Taiyin Baoshu using its branches
In the world, apart from the inherent nature of things, where there is birth, there must be extinction
These two beautiful nuns, one tall and the other petite, possess youthful features and an air of cool elegance
The white jade cup, smooth and lustrous, exquisite and pure
As the garments fluttered in the sound, Ning Zhenzhen returned with a faint fragrance, saying: "Master has already agreed"
Fakong smiled and pointed to the dim branch: "Sister Ning, please cut this branch."
Let us go
Fa Kong told him that he was going to Mingyue An, and he went along with him
It will take another four years for it to bear fruit. The monk said: This old tree should have another five years of life, and after it bears fruit next time, it will return to the earth.
A radiant light, akin to autumn water, rises from the lotus petals and drifts onto the branch of sweet dew held in the right hand of the Medicine Buddha
Certainly, if one were to be more tactful, it would be advisable to propose conditions after achieving success. The Mingyue An would most likely agree, as there is an implication of coercion and taking advantage of someone's vulnerability by bringing it up at this moment
He took a light sip of tea, yet he revealed a look of regret
In the midst of the fog, everything before me was shrouded in darkness, and my figure floated and moved until the sound of rushing water once again echoed in my ears
What illness is it
A round bright moon hangs obliquely in the sky
The Ganlu branch can transform lifespan into vitality, instantly infusing it, and when combined with the rejuvenation spell, it can successfully revive the branches of the Taiyin treasure tree
Fa Kong nodded to himself, acknowledging that the Heart Method of Mingyue Monastery indeed has the effect of preserving one's appearance, living up to its reputation
He stepped forward two paces and scrutinized carefully
One can faintly sense one's own thoughts, akin to mind reading, isn't it
Ning Zhenzhen nodded slowly
The "Moonlight Bodhisattva Sutra of Universal Wisdom" carved by Xijia Beiye
I have two small requests, and of course, I must clarify in advance that this Taiyin treasure tree has indeed reached the end of its lifespan, and there is truly nothing that can be done.
"Junior Sister Ning." Fa Kong revealed a smile
The Great Snow Mountain is covered in snow year-round, while the area below is lush and vibrant with greenery. As one ascends, the temperature drops and the greenery becomes increasingly sparse
Fakong focused his gaze intently.
An hour later, the branches began to glow, and the surrounding light dust slowly spread over, gently falling upon them.
The essence of the law is concentrated and sensed, with flashes of spiritual light.
One's heart is as calm as still water, having seen many beautiful people and with the Medicine Master Buddha calming the mind.
Well
However, he does not hesitate to interpret people's hearts with the utmost malice, still preferring to prioritize the petty over the noble.
Ning Zhenzhen coldly said: "Master Fakong mentioned the conditions."
Ning Zhenzhen let out a soft hum, reached out and gently swept her hand, causing a branch to fall, on which hung a lunar fruit
Exactly!
One is still too young, and naturally, one does not carry the same weight as the Great Thunder Sound Temple and the Pure Land Temple
Master Fa Kong
Sitting in a convertible Ferrari, one experiences a sensation of the scenery rushing towards them at high speed, whistling past and creating a strong sense of impact
In the deep blue and silent void
In the deep blue silence, the branch of nectar in the right hand of the Medicine Buddha trembled slightly
Mingyue An is a nunnery, where men are not allowed to enter, thus a separate lodge was built to accommodate men.
Sigh! The law of emptiness lets out a sigh
The veil has been removed
Fang Ning abruptly stopped, blushing as she clasped her hands together
If there are any further questions, feel free to find me at the pharmacy valley
Ning Zhenzhen took out a thin booklet from Luo Xiu and handed it to Fakong: "This is the Taiyin Minor Refinement Technique. Please return it to me before you leave. ... Also, when practicing the Taiyin Minor Refinement Technique, you must first consume the Taiyin Fruit in order to get started"
Fanning practiced martial arts in the courtyard, with a fierce wind howling.
Ning Zhenzhen's voice grew increasingly soft, her stunning face calm and indifferent: "Senior Brother Fakong, if you have any requests, please feel free to mention them"
Ning Zhenzhen smiled radiantly.
As the sun set in the west and dusk began to rise, three individuals arrived at Mingyue An—a temple situated within a pine forest
A small stream winds around the artificial hill, flowing beneath the small pavilion, its clear waters gently trickling over the moss-covered pebbles.
Fakong introduced Ning Zhenzhen to him
Fa Kong received a little water and began to recite the rejuvenation mantra
Well then, let us see what the Lunar Treasure Tree looks like said Fakong with a smile
Ning Zhenzhen smiled as she withdrew
Ning Zhenzhen pushed the door open and entered
The deadline has arrived, and I am afraid there is nothing I can do
He knows that advising is of no use
One should quickly improve their recitation of the Heart Sutra
Ning Zhenzhen inserted it into the mud and then floated away
"Good." Fa Kong smiled as he took it.
The empty hand slowly pressed against the trunk of the tree, and upon contact, it was clear that this was not a peach tree, merely resembling one.
The Moonlight Treasure Tree has lived for over 2,000 years, and now it has ultimately reached the time of its demise
Ning Zhenzhen's bright eyes flickered as she said softly, "Is there no way?"
The setting sun has dyed the sky red, and has also painted the small courtyard in red
Ning Zhenzhen stepped closer, a refreshing fragrance wafting through the air. She helped to tie a plain cloth, which not only covered the eyes but also muffled the ears, and finally gave a gentle tug.
The branches of the Taiyin fruit and the Taiyin treasure tree have been placed inside the Wheel of Time Tower, next to a pile of dark brown soil, which was collected while Ning Zhenzhen was away
Ning Zhenzhen is as light as a drifting white cloud, moving with astonishing speed
Fanning was bathing in the moonlight, waiting in the center of the courtyard. Upon seeing him return, she let out a sigh of relief
Ning Zhenzhen is stunningly beautiful, with a smile as radiant as a flower; which man could possibly resist her
Upon their arrival at the riverbank, two beautiful middle-aged nuns approached and led Fakong and his companion to a small courtyard on the opposite side of the river
