Sunset

They were sitting on the stone pier of the small pavilion. Her legs were slightly apart, forming an upright posture, with her handprints on her lower abdomen, her eyes slightly closed, and she was solemn and solemn.

Li Muchan raised his fingers and smiled, Feng Mingxue frowned and stared at him, Dugu Jinghua was also puzzled, Dugu Meng widened his eyes, looked at Chai Xiaoyue and Li Muchan.

After a while, Chai Xiaoyue slowly opened her eyes.

"How?" Li Muchan smiled.

"It's very comfortable." Chai Xiaoyue said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Li Muchan smiled and said: "This sutra is the Heart Sutra of Infinite Light. It sweeps away all the shadows and has a wonderful effect on subduing the mind. I believe it will be helpful to you, princess."

Chai Xiaoyue said: "Can you really suppress the devil?"

Li Muchan smiled and said: "It's easy to judge whether you can suppress it or not. When you no longer hate Buddhist scriptures, the devil will be completely subdued."

Chai Xiaoyue said: "I am bored because I have listened to too many Buddhist scriptures."

Li Muchan shook his head: "Actually, that's not the case. You are influenced by the devil. In your heart, you hate and hate Buddhist scriptures. Once the influence of the devil is gone, you will not resist."

"Is this really true?" Chai Xiaoyue tilted her head and thought about it, then said, "When will it be effective?"

Li Muchan said: "It will be almost the same after seven days. However, the princess must recite the Infinite Light Heart Sutra once every day when she returns home, with each word coming from the heart and entering the ears, so that it will be effective."

"Okay, I will give it a try." Chai Xiaoyue nodded and said, "I didn't expect that my husband is a Buddhist, but he doesn't practice any martial arts."

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Martial arts is a small way, and there is no way to escape."

Chai Xiaoyue stood up: "Okay, then I'll go back first. Sister Dugu, come and play with me if you have time."

Dugu Jinghua shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm so busy all day long that I can't even lift my head. How can I have time to play!"

Chai Xiaoyue said with a smile: "Hee hee, yes, you are a busy man. Let Uncle Dugu go out of confinement. What should he be busy with, but you have to blame it on you, sister!"

Dugu Jinghua sighed: "My eldest brother has been in seclusion, and I don't know what's going on."

Chai Xiaoyue said: "If you ask me, no matter how much you practice martial arts or what kind of seclusion, you won't be able to become a great master...and it's useless to become a great master!"

Dugu Jinghua said: "It's useless to talk about this. My eldest brother wants to become a great master. Once he becomes a great master, his life span will increase, not to mention his martial arts skills."

"Sigh..., my father thinks the same way." Chai Xiaoyue shook her head and said: "My father wanted to become a grandmaster, but also to extend his life. Several royal brothers fought back and forth, but in the end it was all in vain. Maybe he would not live as long as his father.

Woolen cloth!"

Dugu Jinghua smiled and said nothing.

Li Muchan raised his eyebrows. The emperor actually wanted to become a grandmaster. This was purely a luxury.

He is on the throne, and he is at the mercy of life and death. No one can attack him, and his heart becomes numb. It is difficult to truly understand the laws of the world and become a great master.

Throughout the history of the dynasties, no emperor has ever become a great master. Only by abdicating the throne and giving up all his glory and wealth can he reach that stage.

The emperor wants to become a grand master just for the sake of power, so how can he give it up? If he cannot get rid of this mental obstacle, he will never become a grand master. This is a dead end.

Chai Xiaoyue left, and Dugu Jinghua and Dugu Meng also left, leaving only two people in the pavilion.

Feng Mingxue sat across from Li Muchan. She frowned and asked, "Why do you teach the Princess the Heart Sutra of Infinite Light so rashly?"

Li Muchan said: "Being possessed by a demon is no small matter."

"Demon?" Feng Mingxue frowned: "Is there really a demon?"

Li Muchan nodded: "It is true, but ordinary people can't see it or notice it."

"Aren't you afraid of revealing your identity?" Feng Mingxue was worried.

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Even if her identity is exposed, she still has to teach her the Heart Sutra of Infinite Light. Once the demon really seizes her body, the consequences will be disastrous."

"What will be the consequences?" Feng Mingxue asked.

Li Muchan said: "It will exterminate Buddhism."

"There are so many eminent monks in Tianwang Temple, so they can't stop them?" Feng Mingxue said.

Li Muchan shook his head: "No matter how many eminent monks there are, they can't fight against the entire imperial court. Once the devil becomes a threat, the eminent Buddhist monks won't be able to deal with it!"

Feng Mingxue said: "I also found that the Ninth Princess has excellent martial arts skills. She is younger than me, right?"

Li Muchan smiled and said: "You guys are about the same."

Feng Mingxue rolled her eyes at him: "She must be younger than me, but she has such cultivation..."

Li Muchan said: "There must be a lot of rare and precious medicines in the palace secret treasury, which are better than those of our Yunxiao Sect."

"That's true." Feng Mingxue nodded lightly and said, "This ninth princess must be very beautiful."

Li Muchan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Senior sister, where are you thinking?"

Feng Mingxue said: "Let me remind you, don't provoke women anymore. Sister Hai and Miss Song have enough work for you!"

Li Muchan touched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Feng Mingxue snorted: "You are too greedy!"

Li Muchan said awkwardly: "Okay, senior sister, don't worry, I'll go to Yulan to have a look."

As he spoke, he disappeared in a flash, quite embarrassed.

"What?!" Li Muchan frowned and put down the white jade cup and looked up.

Hai Yulan sighed: "The people from Luoxia Valley are in the sect."

The two of them were in Hai Magnolia's hut. She was wearing a goose-yellow shirt, her jade-like face was bright and flawless, but at this moment she was frowning, with a hint of sadness between her eyebrows.

The sun shone in the hut, the light was soft and warm. The two sat across from each other. Li Muchan tasted the wine and put it down after just one sip.

"The young master of Luoxia Valley proposes marriage to you?" Li Muchan frowned and looked coldly: "Does he recognize you?"

"Well, I've met once." Hai Yulan nodded lightly: "I met him before."

Li Muchan smiled half-heartedly: "He fell in love at first sight?"

Hai Magnolia rolled her eyes at him and said, "How could I know? He was so silent, and it's really strange that he came out like this all of a sudden!"

Li Muchan touched the mustache on his lips and said thoughtfully: "Is it because of love at first sight, or is it for other reasons that Luoxia Valley wants to form an alliance with your sect?"

He is still dressed as a middle-aged man. The mustache on his lips is black and shiny. It is not a fake beard, but a real beard. As this mustache grows, the whole person becomes more mature. Coupled with the vicissitudes of life between his eyebrows,

He looks like he is in his forties, and no one would think that he is the original Li Muchan.

"This is really unclear." Hai Yulan shook her head and frowned: "I have been distracted these past few days. I have no idea and forgot to find out the details."

Li Muchan touched the mustache on his lips and muttered: "Luoxia Valley..."

Hai Yulan said: "Luoxia Valley and Fenglei Sect are sworn enemies. They fight each other every year. Do they suffer a loss?"

Li Muchan pondered and said, "How about this young valley master?"

Hai Yulan said: "His surname is Guo Siyuan. He is quite a man. He has good martial arts skills. It is said that he is better than his master. I have never fought against him."

Li Muchan said: "It seems that he fell in love at first sight. No wonder, which man can stop you Yulan?"

Hai Magnolia pursed her lips and smiled: "You are fooling me with your sweet words!"

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Okay, let's take a look at his idea and how to deal with it... Has Senior Fu come to ask you?"

"No." Hai Yulan shook her head and said, "I heard from Senior Sister Hao that people from Luoxia Valley came here a few days ago and said that Guo Siyuan would come to visit in two days."

Li Muchan frowned and said, "It seems that Senior Fu also wants to see him."

"Well, Master has never seen him." Hai Yulan said.

Li Muchan picked up the white jade cup and drank it all in one gulp. He stood up and walked around, holding his hands behind his hands and thinking.

Hai Yulan sighed: "I am in a mess now and have no idea. It's a good thing you came!"

Li Muchan nodded, limped back and forth a few times, suddenly stopped, and sighed: "One is preemptive, pretending not to know, and beat him up first."

Hai Yulan put her hands on her hands and said with a smile: "What a good idea, let him retreat when he sees difficulties."

Li Muchan said: "If he falls in love at first sight, this method will work. If the marriage is for profit, it will have no effect."

"For the sake of profit, Master will not agree." Hai Yulan said.

Li Muchan smiled and said: "So, it's true that he fell in love at first sight...but I'm afraid that if he says so, Senior Fu will believe it, but it's not actually the case."

"Yes." Hai Yulan nodded and hummed: "Luoxia Valley is so hateful!"

Li Muchan smiled and said: "They don't know about our affairs... It seems that we need to find an opportunity to publicize it. Yes! I will also send someone to propose marriage."

"Why are you joining in the fun!" Hai Magnolia gave him a white look.

Li Muchan said: "The only way to force Senior Fu to agree is to make a big fuss. Otherwise, she will never nod."

"Really effective?" Hai Yulan hesitated.

Li Muchan smiled and said, "But in this case, you have no way out!"

"What escape route do I want!" Hai Magnolia rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "I hope you won't let your heart down!"

Li Muchan said hurriedly: "Where did my thoughts go? How could I lose my heart!"

"Huh, you're not dissatisfied, you're just a philanderer!" Hai Magnolia said angrily.
