When I got home, there were two rows of lanterns hanging high in the small courtyard, bright as day.
A dining table was set up in the yard. My sister-in-law Zhao Yiyi was wearing an apron and setting dishes with bare hands. She raised her head to see him and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are back!"
"Sister-in-law looks very good." Li Muchan smiled and felt friendly.
Zhao Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled and said: "The method you taught me is very effective. Now I am in good spirits, my body is also better, and I have endless strength."
Zhao Yiyi wears a thin silk green shirt that sticks lightly to her body, revealing the curves of her delicate body, her fair face with a sweet smile, and her charming grace.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is also very understanding."
He stretched out his hand and pinched a small fish that was fried to a crispy yellow color, threw it into his mouth, chewed and nodded, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, my sister-in-law's craftsmanship is better!"
"Wash your hands first!" Zhao Yiyi gave him a look.
Li Muchan chuckled and walked into the house. Li Yurong brought out the dishes and said with a smile: "Is Li Jian okay?"
"Well, it doesn't matter." Li Muchan nodded and entered the house, took off his small bow and two swords, and changed into a moon-white middle coat, which was loose and comfortable.
He went to the well to fill a basin of water and washed his face. Zhao Yiyi handed over a towel and said with a smile, "Have you told your parents?"
"What?" Li Muchan asked, wiping his face.
Zhao Yiyi turned around to look, lowered her voice, and hummed: "You are not in seclusion, you are out to protect the bodyguard...your elder brother has already said so!"
Li Muchan shook his head and said with a smile: "Oh..., I thought the eldest brother was a strict man!"
Zhao Yiyi said proudly: "I just feel something is wrong. You used to be in seclusion and you always asked me to cook. Why has it changed this time?"
"Well, I did go out. I'll tell my parents later," Li Muchan said.
"I think it's better not to say it!" Zhao Yiyi hurriedly shook her head and whispered: "If you say it, if you go into seclusion in the future, your parents will not be able to eat well or sleep well!"
"...That's fine." Li Muchan pondered for a moment and nodded.
Everyone sat down to eat in the courtyard, sitting around a round table.
The lights are brightly lit, and the breeze blows from time to time, blowing the fragrance of flowers, lingering, and the fragrance is here and there.
Li Zhuzhu, Qin Shi, Zhao Yiyi, Li Yurong, Qing Si, and Li Muchan, a total of six people. The eldest brother Li Mufeng was busy and did not want to come back.
Silently talking during sleep and eating, as many wealthy families do, is a sign of good advice. Unlike the Li family, they like to talk while eating.
Li Zhuzi took a few bites, turned around and hummed: "San'er, are you in trouble again?!"
Li Muchan was startled, shook his head and said, "What do you mean, dad?"
Li Zhuzhu snorted: "You must have caused trouble, which affected me and your mother!... Otherwise, how could your second sister be so good and stay at home all day long?"
Li Muchan chuckled and said, "Yes, I have offended someone, and my background is very big. The second sister is afraid that the family will get involved and come to the door."
"Which one?" Qin asked quickly.
"The Bai family in the city." Li Muchan said.
Li Zhuzhu's expression changed, he pointed his chopsticks at him and hummed: "You, you, you are such a troublemaker!... Can you mess with the Bai family?!"
"Dad, don't worry, they don't dare to do anything." Li Muchan comforted him.
Li Zhuzhu glared at him: "Humph, wasn't Li Jian beaten by the Bai family?...Did he get involved by you again?"
Li Muchan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Maybe..."
"What do you mean it's possible! It must be!" Li Zhuzhu curled his lips and shook his head: "That kid Li Jian has been a good boy since he was a child, and he always takes the blame for you!"
Li Muchan chuckled, neither angry nor retorting. He only glanced at Mrs. Qin and smiled, tapping his father's acupuncture point - his mother, Mrs. Qin, was his acupuncture point.
Mrs. Qin immediately said angrily: "As soon as San'er came home, you scolded people and stopped them from eating?!"
"Eat! Eat!" Li Zhuzhu snorted and glared at Li Muchan, but said no more and lowered his head to eat.
Li Yurong pursed her lips and smiled, then glared at Li Muchan.
I thought to myself: This trick never works, San'er is too bad!
Qingsi lowered her head, pursed her lips tightly, and seemed to be suppressing a smile. Li Yurong rolled her eyes at her.
Qingxin smiled secretly: I never expected that Master said that the Buddhist teachings, which are rare in the world, would look like this. It was so different from the eminent monk I imagined!
After dinner, everyone sat by the flower garden, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and chatting.
The person Qin talked about the most was Li Jian's daughter-in-law, saying that she was a smart person who knew how to get into trouble. Although she was more helpless than Yiyi, she was also outstanding in several surrounding villages.
Talking about Li Jian's injury again, he told Li Muchan to be careful and cautious, and don't be competitive with others. It doesn't matter if you take a step back in everything, and don't lose a little because of small things.
Caused by trivial things.
Li Muchan smiled and chatted lively.
Sitting here, chatting with his parents about their idiosyncrasies, Li Muchan not only doesn't find it annoying, but feels friendly to him. This is real life.
All the previous thrilling experiences suddenly faded away, like a big dream, ethereal and illusory.
After talking for a while, Li Muchan urged them to go back and rest. As they get older, it is important to maintain sufficient energy and sit and rest regularly.
Li Zhuzhu said a few words to Mrs. Qin and went back to the house to sleep. Only four people, Li Muchan, were left in the courtyard.
When Li Yurong saw them entering the house, she couldn't wait to ask: "San'er, tell me, what adventures did you have when you went out this time?"
"An adventure?" Li Muchan smiled with emotion.
Li Yurong asked: "Your inner strength has greatly increased and your purple energy is full of energy. What mental methods have you learned?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It's a long story...Second sister, what a coincidence. I met a person named Li Yuqi, who is only one word different from you."
"There are so many people with the same names in the world, it's nothing," Li Yurong waved her hand and suddenly laughed: "...Li...Yu...Qi, is she a girl?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes, a disciple of the Yuxian Sect."
"Jade Immortal Sect?!" Li Yurong frowned and looked at Qingsi.
Qingsi frowned, looked at her, and shook her head.
Li Muchan saw the difference between the two and said with a smile: "Second sister, have you also heard of the Jade Immortal Sect?"
"San'er, you'd better stay away from the Yuxian Sect." Li Yurong said.
"Oh——, why?" Li Muchan asked with a smile.
Li Yurong said: "I once heard Master talk about the Yuxian Sect. She said that the people of the Yuxian Sect are white-bone spirits and are a scourge! ... Master will not be wrong."
"White Bone Demon..." Li Muchan laughed.
He has always been wary of Lin Qiongying, but Li Yuqi is a kind girl who will not harm others.
"They are all beautiful, aren't they?" Li Yurong hummed.
Li Muchan nodded: "Although it's not as good as the second sister and eldest sister-in-law, it's not bad either."
Li Yurong suddenly smiled and hummed: "There are many beauties in the Yuxian Sect, but they are not vegetarians, and their martial arts are very good."
"Not bad." Li Muchan nodded.
Li Yurong looked at him sideways: "So, you learned kung fu from them?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Headmaster Lin gave me a jade pendant as a farewell gift. It has a set of powerful mental methods printed on it, and it's called the Ziyang Monument."
"Purple Sun Monument..." Li Yurong pondered, shook his head, and looked at Qingsi.
Qingsi also shook her head: "I have to ask Master."
Li Yurong rolled her eyes at him and hummed: "San'er, you are smart all your life, but you are confused for a while. Can you practice martial arts and mind skills casually?!"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and sighed: "This is also a last resort!"
All the masters he met were masters. Based on the martial arts he had learned, if he wanted to surpass them, it would take years and months. He could only make it possible by drawing on the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.
Although he is wary of Lin Qiongying, he has a keen intuition and can judge good or bad luck, so he can practice with confidence.
Li Muchan said: "By the way, I also met people from Landa Temple and saw the Vajra Finger."
Li Yurong also wanted to ask him how he got to know the head of the Jade Immortal Sect and why she gave him the jade pendant. After hearing about Landuo Temple, he was immediately attracted and said with a smile: "Your journey has been very dangerous!... I didn't follow Landuo Temple."
Are the people from Tuo Temple starting a fight?"
"We played a few games." Li Muchan said with a smile.
Li Yurong almost jumped up and said coquettishly: "You are crazy, the diamond finger is not a joke!"
Li Muchan sighed: "Yeah..., Vajra Finger, hey, what a Vajra Finger!"
"You're not injured, are you?...How did you escape with your life when you encountered Diamond Finger?" Li Yurong asked nervously.
Li Muchan said: "It was a fluke. I relied on my body skills to avoid it, and then ran away."
"Huh, it's so easy to avoid, it's not Landuo Temple's unique skill." Li Yurong didn't believe it, Yingying stood up, stretched out her jade hand, and wanted to take off Li Muchan's clothes.
Li Muchan hurriedly held down the corner of his clothes and said with a wry smile: "Second sister, there is someone else here!"
"What are you afraid of? You're not an outsider!" Li Yurong pursed her lips and chuckled, but she also withdrew her jade hand.
Li Muchan told the story of the incident, omitting his injuries, and only said that he was beaten to a pulp by two men from Landuo Temple and fled in defeat.
He is forthright and unabashed.
Li Yurong frowned when she heard that. At the end, she hummed: "Landuo Temple, these people are really overbearing. Next time I see you, I must give them a good review."
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said: "Second sister, this monk Xinjue is very powerful. His powerful demon-subduing fist is astonishing. I am no match for him at all."
Li Yurong said: "This young monk can practice the powerful demon-suppressing fist. His qualifications are indeed extraordinary! ... There are not many people in Landuo Temple who can practice it."
"Second sister, have you ever heard of this powerful demon-suppressing fist?" Li Muchan asked.
"Well, I heard it from the master." Li Yurong nodded and said: "According to the master, the powerful demon-suppressing boxing requires extremely high qualifications, and the foundation, mind, and understanding are indispensable. It takes decades for Landuo Temple to produce just one person.
...It’s not a shame if you lose to this boxing technique.”
Li Muchan sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Li Yurong smiled and comforted: "Okay, if you stay in the small Mei Mansion, no matter how high your qualifications are and how hard you practice, how high can you get?!"
"The taste of mermaid meat is really unbearable." Li Muchan shook his head.
Li Yurong frowned lightly and said in deep thought: "Except for a set of the Vajra Indestructible Magic Skills in the Mei Mansion, everything else is ordinary, and it is of no use if you practice it! ... In this case, I will ask the master to help you introduce a famous teacher!"
