Twelve days later, Li Muchan gave up helplessly, knowing that she was deliberately hiding from him and could not be found.
He went to Kuangfeng Gorge, Taihua Hall, and Songjiazhuang. He searched all the places he knew, but still no one was there.
He knew that his efforts were in vain, so he decided to leave and wait until he came back next time to make a surprise attack next time so that she could not hide.
The two people left the Song Mansion and headed east. Their bodies were like lightning and floating like immortals. There was no need to worry about shocking the world. Because the speed was too fast, ordinary people couldn't see them. They only saw two groups of shadows passing by in a flash. They often thought they were...
Dazzling, not too surprising.
From early morning until the lanterns came on, the two of them had an endless supply of internal energy and no need to worry about it. However, their bodies were not made of iron after all, and they still had to rest in the evening.
Although Feng Mingxue had practiced the Jade Returning Sutra, cut off the hair and washed the marrow, and her physique was far better than ordinary people, after all, women were inherently weak, so he still took it into consideration.
The two stopped in a woods and found a pile of wood to light a bonfire. The bonfire was blazing, making her face white and rosy, like a white jade finger with a layer of rouge.
The two sat across from each other, a bonfire was roaring, and two deer deer were roasted on it. The oil fell on the bonfire, and the bonfire danced, emitting an attractive aroma.
Li Muchan was staring at the bonfire in trance, while Feng Mingxue was responsible for turning the deer. Silence surrounded the two of them, and the sizzling sound of oil falling on the bonfire was particularly clear.
Feng Mingxue stared at Zhangzi for a while, then looked up at Li Muchan opposite, pursed her lips and smiled: "Are you still thinking about Miss Song?"
Li Muchan raised his head, and her eyes were full of water, like clear springs.
"Alas..." Li Muchan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "She was offended this time."
Feng Mingxue pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss Song is very beautiful, no wonder you like her."
Li Muchan shook his head. He liked Song Shuhua not only because of her beauty, but also because of many factors. It was also a coincidence, what the Buddhists call fate.
He has read a lot of people, and he has a thorough understanding of the sinister and gloomy nature of people's hearts. He doesn't pay much attention to appearance, and there are too many women who are beautiful on the outside but evil on the inside. He is rarely tempted now, maybe because there are too many women.
He was grateful to Song Shuhua at first, then pityed her, and later her pity led to love. She looked arrogant and cold on the outside, but in her heart she was a gentle and kind girl, but her temper was not very good.
Feng Mingxue said: "You shouldn't set off in a hurry, you should find her. Coax her before leaving. Aren't you afraid of any twists and turns when you leave like this?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "What twists and turns?"
"It's like falling in love with someone else." Feng Mingxue pursed her lips and smiled: "Although Miss Song doesn't look like this kind of person, it's hard to explain feelings clearly, and sometimes you can't help yourself."
Li Muchan shook his head and said with a smile: "Senior sister, are you so proficient in the relationship between men and women?"
Feng Mingxue rolled her eyes at him: "What nonsense are you talking about!... I heard what Bi Luo and the others said."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Emotional matters are like drinking water. You know whether it is hot or cold. She will be fine after being angry for a while."
"Is it because of me?" Feng Mingxue said.
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes, senior sister, you are so beautiful that she feels uneasy."
"Didn't you explain it to her?" Feng Mingxue asked.
Li Muchan shook his head and sighed: "The more you explain, the more you show a guilty conscience. It's useless. You're stuck in this kind of thing, and no one else can help."
Feng Mingxue sighed: "She is so worried!"
Li Muchan glanced at her, then lowered his head to watch the bonfire dance. He vaguely felt that the bonfire contained a mysterious truth, but it was difficult to understand. There was always an invisible layer blocking it, making it impossible to truly touch it.
He understood that what Feng Mingxue said was true. After practicing the Jade Returning Sutra, he had a strong spirit, was sensitive to mood fluctuations, and had strong control. Once he made up his mind not to get involved in love affairs, he would suppress the slightest fluctuation and kill it.
It's hard to get emotional when it's just budding.
It seems untrustworthy to outsiders. If you don't want to be emotional, you won't be emotional. That's not called emotion. There is no reason to talk about emotion.
The two of them were silent, the moonlight was like water. The bonfire danced, reflecting the uncertainty on their faces.
************************************
Five days later, they set foot on a small island in the east, called Poseidon Island, because a Poseidon festival is held every year and there is a Poseidon Temple.
The two are planning to buy a boat here to go to Phoenix Island. This Poseidon Island is exactly opposite the Twelve Islands, very far apart.
Poseidon Island was bustling with activity. When the two of them arrived at the only inn, they were told that there were no rooms because the Poseidon Festival would be held in two days. People around them came here to join in the fun and the inn had already been packed.
The owner of the inn was very polite and enthusiastic. He introduced them to a family where they could rent for a few days and the price was cheaper than the inn.
The two agreed. This is a family of four, a husband and wife, an old woman, and a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. They are three generations living under the same roof.
However, they only had one private room, so they hesitated for a while and agreed. They didn't have to lie down. Meditating and adjusting the breath was better than sleeping.
This family was very polite and enthusiastic. They cooked several delicious dishes for the two of them and treated them as a young couple. Li Muchan and Feng Mingxue did not explain much.
The night was coming, and the surroundings were quiet. Li Muchan, Feng Mingxue, and their whole family were sitting together to eat. Originally, only the man of the house was with him, and women and children were not allowed to sit at the table. Later, Li Muchan strongly advocated, and they sat down together. There were six people at the table.
lively.
Meng Da, the man in charge of the house, stood up, raised the bowl with both hands, and said with a smile: "Come on, I'll give you a bowl to Mr. Li. He's always a big bastard, he can't say anything, and he's all in the wine!"
Li Muchan raised the bowl and said with a smile: "Brother Meng, you're welcome, okay, let's do it!"
The two bowls collided, and then the two of them drank it all in one gulp, laughing. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy looked on with his lips licking his lips, and he was so greedy that he almost drooled.
Li Muchan chuckled and said, "Little brother, would you like a bowl too?"
Although he thinks the other person is a child, he is actually not young at fifteen or sixteen years old. However, he is short and thin and does not look like a young man, he is still a child.
"The fourth child is not good enough. He is too weak to drink." Meng Da shook his head.
Meng Xiaosi hurriedly said: "Dad, I can drink!"
He is thin and weak, but his big eyes are smart and bright. You can tell at a glance that he is a smart man. However, his body is too weak, which is not suitable for people who make a living by fishing.
Meng Dadao: "Okay, Mr. Li is here today, you just have a drink."
Meng Xiaosi hurriedly said: "Mom, give me a bowl!"
Mrs. Meng shook her head and reluctantly went to get a bowl. She was a quiet and graceful woman with average appearance and excellent craftsmanship.
Aunt Meng looked on with a smile. She had silver hair and a thin figure. She was smart and capable at first glance, and she was a powerful character.
"Come on, let me pour it for you little brother." Li Muchan smiled and poured a bowl of wine for Meng Xiaosi.
The two jars of wine were good ones that Li Muchan bought from outside. The aroma was so fragrant that it was no wonder that Meng Xiaosi was greedy. The aroma was really alluring.
Meng Xiaosi held the bowl with both hands and drank it all in one gulp, with a trace of rosiness on his brown face.
Li Muchan turned around and said with a smile: "Senior sister, what do you think this little guy's disease is?"
Feng Mingxue said: "Did you hurt the liver meridian?"
Li Muchan nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that it is the root cause of the disease since childhood."
"Hey, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li still know medical skills?" Meng Da was overjoyed immediately. His eyes widened: "Can Xiaosi's disease still be cured?"
Li Muchan said: "Senior sister, what do you think?"
"You can practice some breathing and breathing skills." Feng Mingxue pondered and said slowly: "If you practice well, it will take about two or three years."
"Xiao Si, hurry up and become your disciple!" Meng Da slapped Meng Xiaosi on the back of the head and shouted loudly.
Meng Xiaosi hesitated for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Dad, who should I take as my teacher?"
Li Muchan smiled and waved his hand: "There is no need to become a master, we don't want to accept a disciple. A little superficial breathing skills will count as our fate."
"How is this appropriate?" Meng Dacheng said hurriedly.
In this world, the status of warriors is extremely high, and mental skills are even more important. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to obtain martial arts mental skills.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It seems we are destined, senior sister, please pass it on to him."
Feng Mingxue nodded and waved.
Meng Xiaosi came over obediently. Feng Mingxue's clothes were as white as snow. She was as cold and cold as a white jade lotus, which made people look at her from a distance but not get close. Even if she sat in front of her, it felt like she was sitting on a cloud.
Meng Xiaosi admired her and was close to her. He felt like a fairy in the clouds. He had never seen such a beautiful woman. He was envious and jealous of Li Muchan, the fairy's husband.
When he came to Feng Mingxue and smelled her faint fragrance, Meng Xiaosi's scorched face suddenly turned red. He was shy and nervous and couldn't breathe.
He lowered his head, not daring to meet her clear eyes.
Feng Mingxue said: "This breathing technique is very simple. You should do it once every morning and evening for half an hour. You don't need to practice it more. You can't practice it when it's thundering or raining."
"Yes." Meng Xiaosi lowered his eyebrows and looked down.
Feng Mingxue stretched out her left hand and gently touched the center of Meng Xiaosi's eyebrows with her green-white index finger. His eyes suddenly closed and his eyeballs kept rolling.
Feng Mingxue stopped after a moment and ignored Meng Xiaosi.
Meng Xiaosi slowly opened his eyes, his confusion slowly disappeared, and he bowed deeply: "Thank you, Master!"
Feng Mingxue said calmly: "You are not my disciple, so you don't need to call me master. If you practice well, you will be cured and strong in half a year."
"Yes!" Meng Xiaosi agreed excitedly.
He already has a figure in his mind, sitting and practicing. There is a red line on his body. The red line moves slowly. He knows how to do it. Feng Mingxue has just carried it for him several times and injected an internal force. As long as he practices according to the law,
Will get started soon.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Brother Meng, let's drink!"
Meng Da hurriedly picked up the bowl, grinning from ear to ear: "Haha, good, drink, I really don't know how to thank Mr. Li, Mrs. Li!"
Mrs. Li said: "We have seen many doctors, but they all said that they can't be cured. If you want to cure it, you have to practice martial arts. Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to become a disciple."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Xiao Si is a smart boy and will be promising in the future."
Meng Xiaosi said: "Master Li, are you martial arts knights?"
Li Muchan said with a smile: "A chivalrous man? Not really. He has just traveled around. Take a look at these great rivers and mountains while you are young, so as not to have any regrets in the future when you are too old to walk."
Meng Xiaosi said: "How interesting, I also want to be a warrior!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Warriors are not only boring, but also dangerous. It's not bad to live a peaceful life on this island. At least it won't be short-lived."
"Hmph, no matter where you are, if you don't know martial arts, you will be bullied!" Meng Xiaosi curled his lips and said angrily: "Especially when pirates come near recently, it's really annoying!"
"Xiao Si, shut up!" Meng Da said hurriedly.
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows: "Pirate?"
Meng Xiaosi ignored Meng Da's look and said: "Yes, when we went fishing, we saw pirates twice, and they were bad. Fortunately, we are just fishermen, otherwise, we would have been killed by them too.
!”
Li Muchan asked: "Where are the pirates?"
"I don't know." Meng Xiaosi shook his head and hummed: "They robbed the big ship when they saw it, took things away, and killed people. It's so abominable! If I knew martial arts, I would definitely deal with them!"
Li Muchan and Feng Mingxue looked at each other.
Meng Xiaosi continued: "Mr. Li, you are warriors and are chivalrous and righteous, so you won't ignore it, right?"
Li Muchan nodded slowly: "That's natural!"
Meng Xiaosi tilted his head to look at him and said: "But what are your martial arts skills? These pirates are very powerful. Those big ships are guarded by powerful warriors. But you can't defeat them!"
Li Muchan smiled: "It's okay. Let's take a look and talk."
Meng Da hurriedly said: "Xiaosi, don't talk nonsense! ... These two days are the Poseidon Festival. If you don't leave the ship, there will be no pirates. Mr. Li, don't listen to his nonsense!"
Meng Xiaosi shouted: "Dad, what nonsense am I talking about? Didn't you also witness them killing people and seizing ships?!"
Li Muchan said with a smile: "Brother Meng, I know, I didn't expect there are pirates here. They are really rampant."
"Sigh..., to us ordinary people, pirates and the like don't matter. They don't bother to pay attention to us. It's just those who are unlucky, but they have a large number of people and have guards. In fact, it doesn't matter if they lose some people." Meng
Big shook his head.
Aunt Meng had been smiling silently, looking at everyone, and then suddenly snorted: "Short-sighted!"
"Mother——!" Meng shouted.
Aunt Meng snorted: "They are wolves that cannot be fed enough. Once they take over the big ones, it will soon be our turn!"
"Then what should we do?" Meng Da shook his head and said, "We want to kill pirates, but we don't have the ability!"
Meng Xiaosi said: "When I learn martial arts in the future, I will definitely kill them all!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Little brother, you are ambitious! ... Let's do this. Senior sister, give this little guy a sword technique and see if he can become famous."
"...Hmm." Feng Mingxue nodded slowly.
Meng Xiaosi was overjoyed and hurriedly clasped his fists: "Thank you, Mr. Li!"
He would not call Li Muchan "Master" under any circumstances, and he would also worship Mrs. Li as his disciple. He unconsciously felt admiration for Feng Mingxue.
Feng Mingxue stood up and said calmly: "Come with me."
Meng Xiaosi hurriedly followed her out of the house. Li Muchan waved his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Meng, come on, let's drink. Mrs. Meng, Aunt Meng, come on!"
They all stared at the backs of Feng Mingxue and Meng Xiaosi, wanting to follow them out for a look, but with Li Muchan's greeting, they realized they couldn't look around.
A quarter of an hour later, Feng Mingxue and Meng Xiaosi came back. Meng Xiaosi's scorched face was rosy and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were shining with excitement.
"The little guy's qualifications are pretty good." Feng Mingxue sat next to Li Muchan and said calmly.
Li Muchan saw at a glance that this little guy had good qualifications. If he left it here, he would be like a pearl abandoned in the dust. He naturally wanted to make a difference if he had the chance.
Meng Xiaosi said: "Mrs. Li, am I qualified to be your apprentice?"
Feng Mingxue shook her head: "Not even close."
Meng Xiaosi suddenly lost his temper and raised his mouth: "Isn't it possible?"
Feng Mingxue said calmly: "First practice this sword technique, and then practice the breathing skills. I will come over to see how you practice in the future."
Meng Xiaosi became excited again: "Then after I finish practicing, I can be your apprentice?"
Feng Mingxue said: "Let's talk about it later."
Li Muchan said with a smile: "Little brother, as long as you practice well, I will help you intercede!"
"Thank you Mr. Li!" Meng Xiaosi was overjoyed.
He suddenly realized that he wanted to take Mrs. Li as his teacher. His roots were still with Mr. Li, so it was impossible to please Mrs. Li. He knew at a glance that she didn't like to talk too much and didn't like complicated things.
He obediently stepped forward and picked up the wine jar, filled it for Li Muchan, poured wine for his father, and then poured a bowl for himself. He held the bowl with both hands and said with a smile, "I offer a bowl to Mr. Li. Thank you Mr. Li for your mercy!"
He could feel that his body was much lighter, almost as light as flying. He knew it was Mrs. Li's fault, but in the final analysis, it was Mr. Li.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Little brother, you now have a way to reach heaven, but you must grasp it carefully, don't be lazy and don't be afraid of hardship, and you will eventually achieve success in the future."
"Yes, thank you Mr. Li!" Meng Xiaosi nodded solemnly.
Meng Da also respected Li Muchan, Feng Mingxue only took a sip of wine and put it down and did not like wine. Mrs. Meng was quiet, but Aunt Meng was a talkative, chatting with Feng Mingxue all the time.
After dinner, Li Muchan and Feng Mingxue returned to the west wing. They lit lamps and sat cross-legged on the pit, facing each other.
The climate on the island is humid, so every household has a pit, which can dispel the cold. At this time, the pit is warm and it is very comfortable to sit on it.
"Junior brother, do you really want to accept him as your disciple?" Feng Mingxue asked.
Under the light, Feng Mingxue was bright and bright, her eyes were moving, and she was captivated. Li Muchan's concentration was so deep that he had the urge to take her into his arms.
Li Muchan shook his head and said with a smile: "I want to see what his fortune is like."
"I don't want to take on a disciple." Feng Mingxue said.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Senior sister, it's good to have a disciple. Some chores are done for you, so you can concentrate on martial arts."
"Too much trouble." Feng Mingxue frowned.
Li Muchan said with a smile: "So I have to find someone smart and smart. This little guy is a smart guy, and it will make him worry-free."
Feng Mingxue looked at him and said thoughtfully: "Let's take a look and then talk."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I won't let senior sister down, he is indeed a good young man."
"Why don't you accept him?" Feng Mingxue asked.
Li Muchan shook his head: "This little guy wants to worship you, but he doesn't want to worship me, so he can't do it."
Feng Mingxue said: "I'm afraid he won't be able to practice it with the Seven Ultimate Divine Sword."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "You underestimated him. Let's wait and see. After we pass through Phoenix Island, we can take a look at him again. Maybe he's already warmed up."
"I hope so." Feng Mingxue said lightly. (To be continued)
