Chapter 131 Decision(1/2)
Mei Ruolan said: "I will take Xiao Yuan and Qing Yun there. If you want to go, I can ask Master. It should be okay."
Li Muchan was overjoyed, then thought about it and said, "The Canghai Sword Sect is dominated by women. How can I, a grown man, go there?"
Mei Ruolan shook her head and said: "Canghai Sword Sect is indeed dominated by women, but it does not mean that there are no male disciples. It's just that the status of male disciples is not high and they are at a disadvantage."
"So that's it..." Li Muchan suddenly felt thoughtful.
Mei Ruolan frowned and said nothing, pondered for a moment, and said: "Zhanran, you should go to the Wang family. The Wang family's martial arts are indeed unique. If you practice them well, you can become one of the first-class masters."
"I have a bond in my heart when I join Befu, so forget it... I might as well go with you to the Canghai Sword Sect and feel at ease." Li Muchan said with a smile.
Mei Ruolan looked at him, pursed her lips and smiled, brushed her hair on her temples, and said, "It's not too late to listen to what I have to say before making a decision."
"Miss, please speak." Li Muchan said.
"As a man, it is very inconvenient for you to join the Canghai Sword Sect!" Mei Ruolan sighed.
"The first step is to become an outer sect disciple and do chores for a while. Only after passing the assessment can you be qualified to practice martial arts. If you want to enter the inner sect, you must also take the assessment. Only after entering the inner sect can you practice superior martial arts."
Li Muchan immediately smiled bitterly: "What if a woman starts the program?"
Mei Ruolan smiled and said: "Women, you should also be an outer disciple first. Once you meet the requirements, you can directly enter the inner disciple to practice the superior skills, which saves you countless troubles."
"The head of the Canghai Sword Sect must be a woman!" Li Muchan shook his head and sighed.
Mei Ruolan nodded and smiled: "Yes, Master Zhuzhao Tai is naturally a woman."
Li Muchan asked: "If you do this, will there be any men left?"
Mei Ruolan smiled faintly: "The Canghai Sword Sect's martial arts skills are the best in the world. If you can become a martial arts master with some humiliation, who can refuse?...Besides, this humiliation is also a kind of motivation."
Li Muchan touched his mustache and said with a smile: "If I go with you, miss, I have to do some chores first. I wonder in which year and month can I practice the unique skills of the Canghai Sword School?"
Mei Ruolan smiled and nodded gently.
"How long will it take to be an outer disciple?" Li Muchan asked.
Mei Ruolan said: "Three years."
Li Muchan suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head and was speechless. Three years, life is short, and the golden period of martial arts training is even shorter. How many three years can be wasted?
He then thought that it was not all a waste. In the past three years, he had devoted himself to training. He first practiced the Ziyang Monument and laid a solid foundation, and then it would not be too late to practice the Canghai Sword School martial arts.
Peace has been rare in the past three years.
Mei Ruolan smiled and said, "If you behave well, I can go and beg for mercy and it can be reduced to one year."
Li Muchan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I will go with the lady!"
Mei Ruolan shook her head, waved her hand, and said with a smile: "There's no rush, you should think about it carefully first. In one month, I will leave for the Canghai Sword Sect. It won't be too late for you to make a decision then."
"That's fine." Li Muchan nodded.
Mei Ruolan added: "The Wang family..."
Li Muchan waved his hand and said: "Miss, there is no need to say more, I will not go to the Wang family!"
"Alas..." Mei Ruolan looked at him and said helplessly: "You are so stubborn!"
She squinted slightly with anger, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She glanced at him with blurred eyes and left the observatory.
Li Muchan said goodbye to Mei Ruolan and went home directly.
He changed back into his own attire, wearing a monk's robe and taking off his hat. His bald head was shining, and he plucked Buddhist beads with his left hand. He walked calmly and slowly.
After crossing the main street and leaving the city, he used his newly learned body skills to stride several feet away in one step, as calmly as if he were walking, walking across the mountains on a small path, as if walking on flat ground.
After a while, we arrived home.
After entering the house, there were two people sitting in the courtyard. He laughed: "Daozhang Zheng?!"
But next to the table in the courtyard, a middle-aged Taoist priest sat upright, like a javelin.
His face is like a crown jade, his beautiful beard is fluttering under his chin, his eyes are like cold stars, and he is full of energy. He is none other than Taoist Zheng of Chaoyang Mountain.
While stroking his beard, he held a large bowl and squinted his eyes, looking intoxicated. Li Yurong sat aside, holding a wine jar and pouring wine.
"Haha, little monk, you are walking too slowly!" Taoist Zheng stroked his beard and smiled, put down the big bowl, turned around and said with a smile: "Little girl, what do you think? I was right, you are not coming back now?!"
"I guess you're right." Li Yurong glanced at him sideways, stood up and faced Li Muchan with a smile as bright as a flower.
Li Muchan titheed and said with a smile: "I thought I missed it with the Taoist Master, but I didn't expect... the Taoist Master is really powerful!"
Taoist Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, it's nothing. I asked Old Man Lu about your identity. I'll find out when I go to Jinyang City... you are also considered a celebrity in the city!"
As the fragrance came over, Li Yurong came to him and took a look at him.
Seeing his bright face and high spirits, she nodded, dusted off the dust on his shoulders with her jade hands, and smoothed the wrinkles on his shoulders.
After finishing it, he punched him bitterly and hummed: "You, you, you are really annoying!"
Li Muchan exaggeratedly took a step back, as if he had been hurt internally by her, and said with a smile: "What did Second Sister hear?"
"Humph, elder brother told me!" Li Yurong rolled her eyes at him and hit him again: "If you have something to do, why don't you discuss it with me!"
Li Muchan shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, I just can't hide things in my heart!"
He didn't care, but his heart was warm. The eldest brother looked cold, but he had the softest heart, and he couldn't be more concerned about himself.
He turned around and said, "Taoist Master, how do you like my wine?"
Taoist Zheng stroked his beard, nodded, and said with a smile: "That's right, that's right! Little monk, you're not boasting. It's really a jade liquid, rare in the world!"
Li Muchan smiled and sat across from him.
He used the distillation method of later generations, which has not yet appeared in this world. When it comes to the strength and purity of the wine, it is naturally far superior to ordinary fine wines, strong in nature and mellow in taste.
Li Yurong rolled her eyes at him, pressed his shoulder and said coquettishly: "You pour the wine for the Taoist priest, and I'll cook two dishes!"
Li Muchan nodded and asked, "Where are my parents and my sister-in-law?"
Li Yurong pursed her lips and said with a smile: "They are all going to Li Jian's house!... They regard Li Jian's house as their own home this time and stay there all day long."
"I miss my grandson." Li Muchan shook his head and smiled. He picked up the wine jar and said, "Second sister, bring me a bowl. I want to have a good drink with the Taoist priest!"
"I know!" Li Yurong said angrily, and quickly brought a big bowl.
Li Muchan asked again: "Why don't you see that senior sister Qingsi?"
Li Yurong pursed her lips and smiled and looked at him: "Senior Sister Qingsi went back today and will come over tomorrow."
Seeing her weird smile, Li Muchan shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about my family."
As soon as he saw her weird smile, Li Muchan knew that the second sister had misunderstood again and thought he was attracted to Senior Sister Qingsi.
Although Senior Sister Qingsi was beautiful, elegant and pleasant, he didn't have any evil intentions. He just felt that her presence would make the courtyard a little brighter and add a bit of charm.
Li Yurong walked to the kitchen and said, "Since the Taoist priest is here, Senior Sister Qingsi doesn't have to stay here all the time."
Li Muchan and Zheng Taoist were drinking.
Taoist Zheng stroked his beard and looked at him, nodded, and said with a smile: "Young monk, that's not bad, your kung fu has improved again!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It's just a fluke. Does the Taoist priest recognize Leng Feng?"
"Leng Feng?" Taoist Zheng raised his sword eyebrows and said with a smile: "Leng Feng, who moved the sky with his divine fist?...Have you met him?"
Li Muchan was holding the bowl with his right hand and suddenly struck with his left hand. His fist instantly reached Taoist Zheng's chest and stopped an inch away. The wind of the fist shook his Taoist robe.
Taoist Zheng kept his expression and body motionless, and nodded: "Well, it seems that you really met Leng Feng... He taught you the boxing skills?... No, he is from the Helian family."
Li Muchan shook his head and said: "When I met him, he knocked me down with one punch and humiliated me. Alas... I spent a lot of effort and finally escaped and saved my life.
"
Taoist Zheng smiled and said: "Leng Feng is not a simple person. He has a magical fist that moves the sky. Listen to this name, most people would not dare to use it! ... Little monk, you can escape from Leng Feng, you are proud enough!"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Oh..., this debt must be recovered eventually."
Taoist Zheng looked at him and said with a smile: "Your current kung fu is inferior to Leng Feng's. Just wait, you can take revenge after practicing for three to five years."
He added: "Leng Feng, this guy, has a cold face and a cold heart, and is as cunning as a fox. How can you escape...that's good, little monk!"
Li Muchan laughed, picked up the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Taoist Master, please—!" Li Muchan filled two bowls, picked them up, and drank them all in one gulp.
Taoist Zheng also drank it all in one gulp, wiped the wine stains on his beautiful beard, and said with a smile: "You really need someone to accompany you when you drink. Let's get drunk today!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It's a bit difficult to get drunk once you get drunk, but I can't get drunk after a thousand cups!"
"I am not drunk after ten thousand cups, let's compete!" Taoist Zheng raised his eyebrows and squinted at him.
Li Muchan showed no sign of weakness: "Okay, even if we compete, we can't do any exercises."
Taoist Zheng said proudly: "Of course, won't practicing martial arts waste the wine!?"
So, you two had a bowl, and I had a bowl. In a blink of an eye, the entire jar of wine was finished. Li Muchan went to the wine cellar again and personally moved the six jars of wine three times, placing the six jars of wine in the courtyard.
The two of them drank without stopping. Li Muchan filled the bowls, and they drank them all in one gulp. He filled the bowls again, and the two touched them again, and drank them all in one gulp.
Drinking like this, by the time Li Yurong had finished frying the two side dishes, the four jars of wine had been consumed.
When Li Yurong finished cooking the four dishes and brought them out, the two of them drank six jars of wine and lay motionless on the table. Their faces were red and their eyes were hazy. They were both drunk.
