Logen felt an unparalleled torment. Nightcrawler did not lie to him. Buddhist cultivation was a painful thing. It had always been so.
And this pain far exceeded Logen's imagination. For Logen, Nightcrawler's description of climbing a mountain of blades and plunging into a sea of flames was not an exaggeration. In fact, it was a little too easy.
He felt that what he was going through now was much more cruel and terrifying than climbing a mountain of blades and plunging into a sea of flames.
Sitting cross-legged, abandoning all distracting thoughts, he allowed his mind to enter a state of tranquility and relaxation. This was too terrifying!
For Wolverine, his entire life was in constant motion. Whether it was fighting, fleeing, or anything else of the sort, he had no choice but to do it.
A fast-paced, or even an extremely oppressive life, was the main melody of Logen's life. Relax, empty your mind, and feel tranquility? Sorry, what are these things?
Logan would never understand the meaning of these words in his entire life! His son, Dai Ken, was the same. The young man had lived in a state of high pressure for the first half of his life.
Mariko's cruel suppression and experiments on him had caused his mind to be constantly in a state of extreme tension, just like a bowstring that had been pulled to its limit.
He could hurt others at any time, but there was a higher chance that he would hurt himself. And this was what Logen was worried about.
That was why he sought out Li Jie, hoping to use the method of Buddhist cultivation to resolve the murderous sin in his and Dai Ken's hearts.
Logen had originally thought that Buddhist cultivation was no different from any other cultivation he had experienced in his life. But the first thing Li Jie asked them to do was beyond his expectations.
"Logen, put away your claws. Buddha says: Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha. This won't do, "Li Jie said after putting down the small statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
"Now, you and Dai Ken need to find a clean place and sit cross-legged. Then relax your mind and feel the tranquility of the Rocky Mountains. "
"Huh? What? "Logen suspected that he had misheard.
"Do as I say, Logen," Li Jie vowed. Following Li Jie's request, Logen sat cross-legged with Dai Ken to feel that damned tranquility!
Damn it, my legs are numb. Logen thought to himself. There were so many mosquitoes by the lake! The buzzing sound was so annoying! That was what Deacon was thinking.
It was the smell of the lake and the fir forest, and the freshwater bass in the lake. Logen's nose was further distracted by the smell.
Time passed in the torment of the father and son. They only felt all kinds of complicated trifles, and did not feel the so-called peace at all.
And this dull and boring time passed so slowly. Logen and Dai Ken sat cross-legged with their eyes closed, feeling as if a million years had passed.
Li Jie just told them to sit cross-legged and did not make any sound, as if he had already felt the peace. Logen thought that this was the way to practice, and he had been enduring and suffering.
But the Wolverine's patience was limited, and he could not wear it quietly somewhere. He could not do it, and neither could Dai Ken. Although he wanted to be a good example for Dai Ken.
Well, let me take a peek at how Nightcrawler feels at peace. Logen found an excuse for himself. He secretly opened a small gap in his eyes, trying to secretly observe Li Jie.
And Li Jie was not feeling the peace as Logen thought. He just turned the phone to silent and played three games!
Standing behind him, Blink was also watching him play the game. She was pointing at Li Jie and teaching him how to play three games.
In addition to Blink, Jean was also standing with Ray Snake Eyes Scott not far away. They were all looking at him and Dai Ken.
And farther away is another group of X-Men, they are all looking at him and Dai Ken with their arms crossed over their chest, feeling the peace like a fool.
After Logan realized that something was wrong with the scene, he didn't care about what Li Jie said about the feeling of goddamn tranquility. He stood up angrily and roared, "Nightcrawler!"
Logen felt that he had been played, and he and his son had been humiliated in front of everyone. It was a terrible feeling.
And Li Jie looked at the angry Logen, just glanced at the time on the phone and said softly, "You can't hold it in until ten minutes, which is much longer than I expected."
And after seeing that Logen and Dai Ken had found out about all this. The other X-Men no longer needed to control their volume. Many people began to laugh out loud, as if they had just seen a great performance.
Blink smiled at Li Jie and said, "It seems that you won the bet. He lasted for ten minutes. Here's twenty dollars. "Blink was actually betting on Logen and Dai Ken?
Logen felt that he was getting angrier and angrier. And the conversation between Jean and Scott in the distance made him even angrier.
Jean put her hands around Scott's neck, leaned her head on his shoulder, and said in a mocking tone, "Wolverine is really a wolf. Sometimes he's not very smart."
Scott's tone was even more sarcastic and explicit. "Not very smart? You're being too subtle, Jean. In fact, you can just call him stupid! "
An anger of humiliation that he had never felt before burned in Logen's heart. He felt that he had become the object of other people's amusement from beginning to end. His hands were clenched and trembling, and steel claws made of Adamantium unconsciously stretched out.
Dai Ken, who could not hide his anger even more than Logen, had already stretched out his bony claws and rushed at Li Jie with a roar. To Li Jie, this wolf cub did not pose much of a threat.
His attack was too simple, and Li Jie kicked him away with a simple kick. And this scene completely provoked Logen. He was completely enraged, and he had forgotten that these people in front of him were his companions. His heart was filled with killing intent and anger at this moment.
He waved his Adamantium steel claws and charged at them! Wolverine was not as easy to deal with as a wolf cub. He was a real killing machine.
Seeing that Logen was completely enraged, Li Jie's lips curled into a smile.
…
A little earlier.
"Are we really going to provoke Logen like this? Why are we doing this? "Jean put her hands on her waist and looked at Li Jie in confusion.
"To make him completely angry. His hostility is like a cancerous poison in his body. Only by making him visible can we have a chance to get rid of him bit by bit. "Li Jie said to Logen's teammates.
"The three poisons of greed, anger, and obsession. Only by stimulating all the resentment in his heart for the first time can we achieve the best effect. Because after the first time, he will be prepared. If we can't eliminate most of his hostility for the first time, then it will be even more difficult in the future. "
The X-Men did not understand what Li Jie said, but in the end, everyone was willing to cooperate. After all, Logen was everyone's most important comrade. Wasn't it just acting to provoke him?
Only Scott's attitude was more ambiguous, and he did not make a special statement. This was normal, after all, his relationship with Logen had never been very good.
And the key to the bad relationship was Jean. Jean was Scott's girlfriend, but Logen wanted to pursue her. Scott could still talk to Logen normally now, which was already very broad-minded.
Now he was counting on him to act and cooperate to eliminate Logen's hostility. Oh, please! The fact that I didn't expose you already proves that I'm broad-minded, okay?!
Li Jie knew Scott's knot in his heart, so he pulled him aside to talk: "Scott, do you know the Buddhist Four Elements of Emptiness?"
"I don't know." Scott was very honest.
"Well." Li Jie was silent for a while. He felt that he could simplify some of the ideas in a way that was easier for Europeans and Americans to understand: "Simply put, if Logen converts to Buddhism in the future, he can't be close to women. He can't marry a wife, and he can't be tempted by women. He has to cultivate his spiritual world wholeheartedly. As a teammate, I hope you can help him get through this with all your heart. "
Li Jie's tone was sincere and earnest, as if he was an elder giving advice to a young man. And Scott didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Jie's words.
As a young man who was entrusted with important things by an elder, Scott said on the spot: "No problem! I will fully cooperate with your request later. I will do whatever you want me to do! I will let Logen start his Buddhist cultivation smoothly! "
Li Jie nodded his head in satisfaction. The boy was worth teaching. He now realized that he might be particularly talented in irritating people.
