Chapter 215 Black Bear(1/2)
Li Muchan said: "I didn't provoke them, it was them who came to the door. Alas... there is really nothing we can do. It is said that they are quite difficult to deal with. They are a group of women."
Dugu Jinghua pursed his lips and smiled sweetly: "Sir, he has a loving and caring character, and it will indeed be quite helpless when he meets them, but they are not easy to deal with, just like the Yunxiao Sect in Dali, his status is aloof...but they are
Women, for the most part, have a intolerant temperament, care about everything, and cannot tolerate provocation from others."
"Well, because there is a great master." Li Muchan nodded.
Dugu Jinghua said: "This great master does not act like a master. He is always partial to others. It makes no sense and is very troublesome. Sir, you should be careful."
She knew that Li Muchan was the Grand Master, but there were differences between the Grand Master and the Grand Master. Li Yubing was much older, but Mr. Li was young and could not compete with him.
Li Muchan shook his head and said helplessly: "It's too late to be careful now, and it's too late to provoke. We can only find ways to deal with it."
Dugu Jinghua pondered for a moment and said slowly: "If I were your husband, it would be better to avoid him."
Li Muchan paused while flipping the booklet, looked up at her and smiled, "Are you afraid that I can't beat Li Yubing?"
Dugu Jinghua lowered his bright eyes and shook his head: "Large duels are often earth-shattering, and most of them involve both sides losing. What if..."
She knows that men are all about saving face. Although Mr. Li is as gentle as jade, he is a man after all. He will never lose his competitiveness and cannot hurt his face.
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head: "Miss Ninth, you..."
Dugu Jinghua raised his head: "It is not advisable to fight between great masters. This is an unspoken rule, but it does not work for Li Yubing. She is just a crazy woman. Why bother to be on the same level with her, sir?"
Li Muchan smiled: "I appreciate Miss Ninth's kindness. I really want to see what the Grand Master is like."
"Sir-sir-!" Dugu Jinghua frowned and said angrily.
Li Muchan chuckled and said: "I have my own opinions, don't worry, I will run away if you can't beat me. You also know that no one can match me in my ability to escape!"
Dugu Jinghua pursed his lips and smiled, then frowned, still not satisfied. The Grand Master's actions were all about life and death in a split second, and he couldn't escape at the critical moment!
She looked at Li Muchan and saw that his expression was calm and relaxed. She knew that his mind had been decided and could never be changed. Her bright eyes turned around, and ideas came to her mind one by one.
She changed the topic, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The Ninth Princess has been coming here often these days, and she even asked why the husband never came. It seems that she misses her very much!"
Li Muchan said: "The emperor has done nothing, right?"
Dugu Jinghua's face fell and he snorted softly: "I provoked us and the Zhu family twice, but when we saw that we were not fooled, we stopped."
Li Muchan said with a smile: "He has been using the Zhu family as pawns to avoid suspicion. Unexpectedly, the Zhu family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Don't be fooled... At the critical moment, you four aristocratic families still have to stick together. This may be the case for the emperor."
Didn’t you expect that?”
Dugu Jinghua snorted: "This trick has been used to death a long time ago. It's strange that we were fooled!... The Zhu family didn't realize it at the beginning, but now they have come to realize it!"
Li Muchan sighed and said, "I'm just afraid that if his first plan fails, he will come up with a second one!"
Dugu Jinghua pursed his lips and chuckled, shook his head and said: "This time he is too busy taking care of himself that he has no time to mind our own business!"
"Hmm -?" Li Muchan raised his eyebrows, quite curious. Knowing that the four major aristocratic families were seeking revenge, he was curious about what tricks they would use.
"There are people in central Sichuan who are rebelling," Dugu Jinghua said.
Li Muchan frowned: "Did you support it?"
Dugu Jinghua lowered his head and said, "Chen Feng, the governor of central Sichuan, is a greedy and cruel official who is proficient in the art of flattery. The people are miserable. If you want to remove him, you can only use this method."
Li Muchan nodded slowly and said, "The people won't be implicated, right?"
"The rebel gang killed Chen Feng and fled in all directions. The people in the court were only focused on chasing and suppressing them, so how could they have time to care about the common people?" Dugu Jinghua chuckled.
Li Muchan looked at her, his mind was spinning like electricity, and he figured out the whole story. The four major families should also have rules and cannot assassinate the imperial officials, otherwise the world would be in chaos.
This group of rebels should be secretly supported by the four major aristocratic families. They have financial resources, material resources, and information. These people are like fish in water, how can they be caught?
Li Muchan said: "You need to be careful not to lose your tail."
After hearing this, Dugu Jinghua understood that Li Muchan had seen through the trick, and secretly praised Mr. Li, saying with a smile: "Let's take precautions. There is no malpractice. It can be regarded as a method to restrict the imperial court."
Li Muchan nodded: "It would be beneficial not to lose fear."
Officials have no fear and can do anything. There is a sword hanging above their heads, which will fall down at any time to benefit the people.
He had to turn over the booklet again. He had a photographic memory, and after reading it over and over, it was imprinted in his mind. Dugu Jinghua held his chin with his left hand and looked at him quietly, his eyes as bright as water.
Li Muchan pretended not to know, and focused on the booklet. He quickly turned over the three booklets, and it was already dusk and the lanterns were starting to turn on.
Strings of lanterns were lit, soft light shone through the surroundings, and the lake swayed gently, reflecting the bright moon in the sky.
Li Muchan stood up and stretched, and the sound of the string was like fried beans. Dugu Jinghua reached out and pushed a plate of snacks over: "Sir, please stay for dinner, I will make eight-treasure steamed pork."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "You cook yourself?"
Dugu Jinghua pursed his lips and nodded with a smile. Li Muchan hurriedly said: "Okay, go, go, go!"
Dugu Jinghua said: "Would you like to meet Xiao Heng?"
Li Muchan smiled: "He is with Tang Tangni again?"
"Alas..." Dugu Jinghua shook his head and sighed: "He is so fascinated by Tang Tang that he almost doesn't know what his last name is!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "This is his first time. It is inevitable that he will fade away after a while. Don't stop him. The more he stops, the more energetic he will get!"
Dugu Jinghua looked at him sideways: "Sir, he seems to be very proficient in this!"
Li Muchan touched his mustache and said with a smile, "It's just my own experience."
Dugu Jinghua hummed: "Sir, if you like someone, you like him very much at first, but then you slowly fade away, right?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "That's what everyone is like. I like her very much at first, but it will naturally fade away after a while."
"Hey, no wonder my mother once said that men are all the same. They like the new and dislike the old. It turns out that gentlemen are also unavoidable!" Dugu Jinghua sneered.
Li Muchan secretly thought something was wrong and said with a smile: "I am a common person, and I am also very greedy. I like this and that, and I wish I could have all the things I like."
Dugu Jinghua snorted: "No wonder!"
Li Muchan said: "Forget it, it seems I'm a bad visitor, I'd better be more knowledgeable and leave quickly!"
"Don't leave!" Dugu Jinghua said angrily, glaring at him with bright eyes.
Li Muchan touched his mustache and said with a smile: "You still want to invite me to dinner?"
"Just stay there and leave after dinner!" Dugu Jinghua got up angrily and wandered away. Li Muchan looked at her slim and graceful back and secretly had a headache.
At noon in Yuanxin Temple, Li Muchan was taming two bears in front of the temple and teaching them to box. He directly transmitted his thoughts into the bears' hearts. Although they could not speak, they could understand their thoughts.
The two bears look bulky, but they are extremely agile and move very fast. They are as quiet as a virgin and move as fast as a rabbit.
What Li Muchan taught them was a set of giant spirit palms, which were actually taken from the bear posture. The movements were stretched, seemingly slow but actually fast, and extremely powerful.
This giant spirit palm contains a set of mental methods. When the two bears are practicing the palm, they naturally practice the mental methods. The meridians of the bear's body are different from those of humans. There are a few fewer meridians, but they are thicker, and their cultivation progresses very quickly.
Just as he gave a soft drink and asked the lazy two bears to continue practicing, Ji Kong came over and asked with a smile: "Master, what are you having for lunch?"
"Just order it and ask them to hurry up." Li Muchan said.
This apprentice is good at everything, he is diligent and discerning, and he is very considerate in his service. However, he has one fatal flaw: his cooking skills are extremely poor and the food he makes is inedible.
Li Muchan was particular about food, so naturally he couldn't bear it, so he went to get the food from the East Lailou. He ordered first and Ji Kong went to get it.
Donglailou was owned by Zheng Yuanwai, and he did not accept any money from Li Muchan. Li Muchan was not polite and taught Zheng Xiaosi a set of boxing techniques, which was enough to pay for his meal.
"Okay, hehe..." Jingkong agreed, and when he saw the two bears stumbled to the ground, looking so naive, he couldn't help but laugh.
Li Muchan shook his head and said: "Don't laugh at them, you can't practice as fast as they do!"
Jikong lowered his head helplessly: "Yes, disciple must work hard!"
"Go back quickly, don't stay at Zheng Xiaosi's place for too long!" Li Muchan waved his hand.
"Yes, the disciple has gone." Jingkong nodded quickly and ran away.
Li Muchan narrowed his fingers at the two bears, then suddenly raised his head, straightened his purple gold cassock, with a solemn expression, and solemnly pronounced the Buddha's name, and said slowly: "We have a guest coming, please come in!"
"The monk has such amazing ears." Amidst a chuckle, three blue shadows flashed past, and three women in blue appeared in front of Li Muchan, all of them were graceful young women.
Li Muchan took a glance and saw that the young woman at the head was charming, and the other two were pretty, not stunningly beautiful, but had a clear temperament, which added to their radiance.
Li Muchan's eyes were gentle, He Shi smiled and said, "The three female benefactors came to our temple to offer incense?"
"Little monk, are you Zhan Ran?" the young woman in charge smiled coquettishly.
Li Muchan slightly nodded: "Poor monk Zhanran."
"I really can't tell how you can make Junior Sister Li and the others gnash their teeth!" The young woman smiled sweetly and said, "You really can't tell a person by his appearance."
Li Muchan said warmly: "The three female donors turned out to be disciples of Mo Li Palace, and they were offended."
"You also know that we are not leaving the palace. Do you regret it now?" The young woman pursed her lips and smiled, smiling beautifully, looking at the waves.
Li Muchan shook his head and sighed: "Although Mo Ligong is strong, he bullies the weak. How can a poor monk ignore him?"
"Oh, what a tough little monk!" The young woman smiled sweetly: "Little monk, we are here to meet you, to see what kind of person you are, how can you make Junior Sister Li, who has never suffered any loss, so angry!"
Li Muchan said: "The three female donors are here to take revenge, right?... When is the time to retaliate against each other? Why don't we all turn our hostility into peace?"
He laughed secretly in his heart, pretending to be someone and saying what he said. His nonsense was exactly in line with the identity of a monk who often explains the scriptures, but it was inconsistent with him as soon as he met.
As a young monk, it is inevitable to be verbose, speak earnestly, and have a lotus-like tongue. This is the true nature of a Buddhist disciple, and it is also the embodiment of kindness and compassion. It is not allowed to be quick to act, which is not the style of an eminent monk.
He wanted to maintain the demeanor of an eminent monk in order to maintain his image and increase his credibility. He could not act as he wished. According to his nature, he would just start a fight without saying a word and get away with it.
