Li Muchan opened his eyes and took a look at the little girl. A pair of big eyes on her pale face looked at him curiously.
He didn't seem to care about his condition, only curious about what he was doing.
Li Muchan smiled, and Aunt Zhao hurriedly said: "Master, can Jing'er be saved?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Fortunately, it's nothing serious. She was born weak and lacked lung energy. I taught her a set of breathing skills and practiced slowly."
"Thank you, Master!" Aunt Zhao was overjoyed. She turned over and was about to kowtow, but was blocked by Li Muchan's brush. Aunt Zhao felt that an invisible force was blocking her body and she couldn't kneel down. She felt more and more that Master Zhanran had great supernatural powers and was full of confidence.
Li Muchan shook his head and said: "Donor Zhao, you don't have to be like this. Miss Zhao's vitality is still there. If you take advantage of the opportunity to practice early, you will definitely be able to escape with your life."
Aunt Zhao said: "Jing'er, why don't you thank me soon, Master!"
"Thank you, Master." Jing'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Master, am I really not going to die?"
With a bit of innocence and curiosity, she looked at Li Muchan with a smile and her voice was weak.
Li Muchan nodded: "It doesn't matter. Don't worry. Once you practice kung fu, you will become stronger and stronger. In fact, you will be better than ordinary girls."
Jing'er smiled and said, "Then I don't have to leave my mother behind and go to the underworld?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Well, you will always stay with your mother."
"That's great." Jing'er said with a happy smile, "I don't want to leave mom!"
Aunt Zhao said gratefully: "Master, I really don't know what to say. I really can't repay you for saving my life!"
Li Muchan said: "Donor Zhao, you don't have to be like this. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This is also my merit. Miss Jing'er, I want to teach you the Dharma."
"Yeah." Jing'er nodded and looked at him curiously.
Li Muchan's left index finger gently touched the center of her eyebrow. She immediately closed her eyes and remained motionless as if frozen. Aunt Zhao held her breath and stared.
After a moment, Li Muchan stopped his hand, and Jing'er opened her eyes, which were a little brighter, and looked at him with vigour, "Is this cultivation?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Isn't it quite simple?"
"Well, it's very easy." Jing'er nodded lightly and smiled: "Can I really save lives if I practice this?"
Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "As long as you practice for a month, you will be able to go to the ground and move as usual."
"Okay, then I'll give it a try." Jing'er smiled.
Li Muchan got off the kang and said with a smile: "Donor Zhao, I'm going back first. If anything goes wrong, come to me."
After he said that, he turned around and left. Aunt Zhao wanted to say something more, but Li Muchan ignored her and left the courtyard directly.
On the way back, Jingkong asked: "Master, can you really save that little girl?"
"Yes." Li Muchan nodded and said, "She has lost her essence and her constitution is too weak. She needs to be nursed back to health slowly."
"Then why is Divine Doctor Li unable to succeed?" Jikong said.
Li Muchan shook his head: "Her vitality has been extinguished. Medicine can't cure the disease, and stone can't cure the disease. I gave her a little life, and she can get up and come back to life through the opportunity of cultivation."
"It is indeed Master's magical power." Ji Kong said with a smile.
Li Muchan said: "Life and death are determined by destiny. She is destined to meet me. She shouldn't be destined to die... If you keep wandering around, you won't be able to become a master in two months, so you don't have to follow me anymore."
"Yes, Master, I will fight!" Jingkong was startled and nodded hurriedly. He felt more and more that he had worshiped the right master. If he was really expelled, he would be in trouble.
In the following days, Yuanxin Temple became lively and Aunt Zhao spoke quickly. Everyone in the town knew about Li Muchan's ability to bring the dead back to life. Anyone with a terminal illness should come and ask for Li Muchan's help.
Li Muchan treated these incurable diseases one by one, and pushed away the common diseases and let Li Shen treat them. There were only a thousand people in Donglai Town, and they were all cured quickly.
Li Muchan's reputation became more and more popular, and the incense in Yuanxin Temple was flourishing. Everyone spontaneously raised funds to rebuild the golden body, but he blocked it.
What he seeks is people's faith in him. If the golden body is created, all the faith will be transferred to the Buddha and he will be gone.
In this way, he was busy in vain, so naturally he didn't want to do this.
Seeing his resolute look, everyone admired his broadmindedness even more, and he did not force himself. After all, it would cost a lot to rebuild the golden body, which would be a huge burden for them.
In the early morning of this day, Li Muchan came back from the Yunxiao Sect and practiced boxing in the open space in front of the main hall. He practiced Luohan Fist, which was a boxing technique selected from the Yunxiao Sect's secret manual. It was exquisite.
This boxing technique looks unremarkable, with simple sweeping movements, like a new boxing technique, and ordinary people cannot discover its mystery and power.
Although the Yunxiao Sect has another great master, this great master has been traveling around the world, hiding in the world, experiencing the world, and rarely appears in the Yunxiao Sect, and he has no time to read these martial arts secrets.
To a grand master, these secrets are just a show. No matter how powerful the moves are, they are just children versus adults. No matter how many tricks they have, it is useless.
It was only Li Muchan who had the time to look through these secrets, and finally discovered the subtlety and power of this Arhat Boxing book with his keen sense.
He didn't have a chance to use it, so he passed it on to Jing Kong and Zheng Xiaosi as a test, and the effect was good. The two people's cultivation progressed very quickly.
If they continue to practice like this, they will be able to enter the master realm in less than two months.
While he was practicing, Zheng Xiaosi suddenly opened the door and ran in. His expression showed anxiety and worry, and he shouted: "Master!"
Li Muchan slowed down his movements and looked over. Zheng Xiaosi was wearing a brocade robe and looked like a young master from a wealthy family, but his face was pale at this time.
Li Muchan frowned: "What happened?"
"Master, come quickly, something big has happened!" Zheng Xiaosi said hurriedly.
Li Muchan said: "Don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what's going on?"
Zheng Xiaosi hurriedly said: "Master, a group of ferocious beasts are coming from the west, including lions and tigers, and they are heading towards our town!"
Li Muchan frowned and said, "Is someone manipulating it?"
Lions and tigers don't come together, and they don't appear at the same time. They must be controlled by someone. This person is very capable.
Zheng Xiaosi said hurriedly: "He is an old man."
"He is coming into the town?" Li Muchan asked, "Where is he going?"
"He is followed by Zhao Wuji." Zheng Xiaosi said.
Li Muchan pondered: "Zhao Wuji? Is he the helper he found to avenge himself?"
"Well, Zhao Wuji suddenly escaped and we couldn't find him. We didn't expect to find such a guy. Those ferocious tigers and lions can really eat people!"
Li Muchan said: "Well, I'll go meet him for a while."
He suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then Ji Kong appeared. Zheng Xiaosi pulled him, and the two of them ran out and ran to the west end of the town.
When they ran to the west end of the town, they saw Li Muchan sitting cross-legged on a stone, his eyes slightly closed, his palms clasped together, muttering sutras, his voice clear and soft, his words like pearls.
Opposite is a forest. In front of the forest is a group of ferocious beasts. At the front is a tiger, one with white fur, one with yellow fur, and another one with yellow and white hair. Behind them are lions, both male and female, and behind them are leopards and others.
There are two bears among them.
They were originally powerful and scary, but now they were lying quietly on the ground, as if they were asleep. Zhao Wuji and an old man in purple were standing behind the beasts, with ferocious expressions on their faces.
The old man was skinny and his face was sallow, as if he had not recovered from a serious illness. A flute was playing faintly across his mouth, and his voice was somber, like weeping.
But the sound of sobbing could not suppress the clear voice of Li Muchan chanting sutras. The face of the old man in purple became more and more ferocious, as if he was playing the flute with all his strength.
When the two of them heard Li Muchan's chanting, they felt calm. Even when they saw Zhao Wuji, they were not as angry as before. Looking at his fierce appearance, they just felt like a clown, with indescribable contempt and pleasure.
The sound of Li Muchan's sutra became louder and louder, like the sound of a copper bell, sounding out word by word, lingering in the air for a long time, drifting towards the small town behind.
The noise in the town seemed to be much quieter. People gradually came over, first one or two, then a group. Everyone followed the sound and came to Li Muchan.
Jing Kong and Zheng Xiaosi looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Logically speaking, this place was quite dangerous, but judging from the Master's appearance, it was nothing.
They simply ignored him and saw what the master was capable of.
After a long while, Li Muchan stopped chanting, opened his eyes and glanced at everyone, smiled and said: "Dear donors, there is a disturbance."
"The Master's Dharma is so wonderful that he can tame these ferocious beasts!" Zheng Yuanwai stood in the crowd and looked at the ferocious beasts opposite him in admiration.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "These beasts also have spiritual intelligence, and all living beings have Buddha nature. They can also be inspired by the sounds of Buddhist scriptures."
"Master's Dharma is still profound." Zheng Yuanwai praised: "Without Master's Dharma, if these beasts enter the town, we will suffer."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "This matter was caused by my disciple, and it is up to him to solve it. Jikong, go ahead!"
"Yes, Master!" Jing Kong was also smart. Hearing this, he understood what Li Muchan meant and jumped towards Zhao Wuji and the two of them.
Zhao Wuji hurriedly said: "Third brother, be careful, this kid is a bit evil!"
"You're rude!" The old man in purple robe shouted loudly, and clapped his hand as fast as lightning.
Jingkong has been practicing hard these past few days and has become more and more proficient in the Arhat Fist. He stepped diagonally with his foot and swerved half a step away. While avoiding the palm, his fist hit the chest of the old man in purple.
Arhat Fist seemed simple and clear, but it was a bit weird. The old man in purple robe screamed strangely and hurriedly backed away, barely avoiding Ji Kong's punch.
His face darkened, his scorched face turned blue, and he stared coldly into the air. His hands slowly swelled in size, and the fingers that were originally like chicken claws became thick and strong, red as blood.
Jikong could tell at a glance that there was something weird about this palm. He had practiced some strange palm skills, so he had to be careful. But he had full confidence in Arhat Fist, and besides, Li Muchan was by his side and had the ability to bring the dead back to life. It didn't matter even if he was injured, he
He was extremely courageous, so he took action while the old man in purple shirt was doing his exercises, and punched out again, as lightly as playing.
Everyone stared at Jikong closely, a little worried. Jikong was very popular. Although he was reckless and impulsive, he had a chivalrous heart and was willing to help others. Some people in the town didn't like him, but most of them liked him.
The fingers of the old man in purple shirt became thicker and thicker, which looked scary, while the empty space was ordinary and there was nothing out of the ordinary. When compared with each other, they suddenly fell behind, and they became a little worried.
"Bang!" The purple-shirted old man met Jikong's fist with his palm, and the fists met with a muffled sound. There was a "buzzing" in everyone's ears, and they all looked at the beasts worriedly.
Although these ferocious beasts remain obediently, will they explode into violence when frightened? Their nature is to eat meat.
The purple-shirted old man and Jikong each took a step back. Jikong frowned and looked down at his palms. A layer of black was slowly receding, and the internal energy circulated on its own to drive away the poisonous gas.
The purple-robed old man sneered and struck out with his palm again. Ji Kong stepped forward and punched to meet the attack, but missed his palm and hit the gap.
The two of them immediately got into a fight. The old man in purple shirt wanted to hit him, while Ji Kong avoided the real thing and hit the weak one, but did not want to fight him head-on. His boxing skills were exquisite and he could often hit his weak spots, which made the old man in purple shirt very breathless.
, I wish I could punch Ji Kong to death.
Later, Jikong's punches became faster and faster, and the purple-shirted old man was forced to change his moves halfway through his moves. After a dozen moves, his blood energy swayed, and he looked unstable.
Each of his moves has a way of operating his internal energy. Changing his moves midway is like changing the course of a river. It's fine once or twice, but after a dozen times, his blood energy becomes somewhat disordered.
"Bang!" Jingkong took advantage of his slow movement and suddenly punched his chest, causing the old man in purple to fly out immediately.
Ji Kong's figure was like an arrow. He followed closely behind and hit the purple-shirted old man in the air with another punch. He was knocked away again and hit the pine tree behind him heavily.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, the pine needles shook down, and the old man in purple slipped slowly, closed his eyes and passed out.
Zhao Wuji shouted: "Third brother!"
He rushed towards Ji Kong, but was knocked away by Ji Kong's punch. The power of the Arhat Fist became more and more powerful. This punch was thrown at will, but it was infinitely powerful.
"Bang!" Zhao Wuji hit a pine tree and slid down the tree softly, blood spurting from his mouth and his eyes dimmed.
Jikong hummed: "Zhao Wuji, we spared your life, but instead of being grateful, you repaid us with kindness and brought him to harm us. It is really a heinous crime!"
Li Muchan said warmly: "Jikong, forget it, send him to the government."
"Yes, Master." Jingkong responded respectfully, then turned to look at the group of beasts: "Master, how should we deal with them?"
These ferocious beasts are lovable, but they are troublesome to raise. They have to eat as much meat as they want in one meal. Each of them has more food than he can eat. Six tigers, six lions, six leopards and two bears, put together, can eat a lot of meat.
You can eat yourself up in just one meal!
Li Muchan pondered for a moment and said helplessly: "Let them go back to the mountain."
"...Yes." Jikong looked at these beasts unwillingly. He liked these guys very much, but unfortunately he couldn't keep them alive, so he had to let them go.
Li Muchan saluted everyone and walked out slowly. The group of beasts got up and lazily followed behind Li Muchan, following suit.
Everyone moved away one after another to make way for the ferocious beasts, fearing that they might accidentally come to eat them. Seeing them following behind Li Muchan and slowly leaving, everyone dared to comment.
What they talked about the most was why after listening to Master Zhanran's Buddhist scriptures, these beasts were as obedient as kittens and followed him obediently.
This is the truly powerful eminent monk. It is better to meet him than to be famous. Finally, he has seen it. In this way, Buddhism has great supernatural power.
Jikong discussed a few words with Zheng Xiaosi in a low voice, then followed closely, catching up with Li Muchan, and whispered: "Master, I have already told Xiaosi to kill these two guys and leave them alive.
That’s fine.”
"Yeah." Li Muchan nodded: "This can be considered a merit."
"Master, what should we do with these guys?" Jingkong turned his head and looked at the group of beasts behind him excitedly, eager to try.
Li Muchan said: "Do you have the time to take care of them?"
Jing Kong thought about the master's two-month limit. If this progress continued, it would be hard to predict and it would be really dangerous. He could only seize the time.
"...No." He shook his head helplessly.
Li Muchan said: "Then release them into the forest and let them find food on their own."
Jikong said: "I'm afraid they will hurt people. Who can cure so many ferocious guys?"
Li Muchan nodded: "It seems that we need to get rid of their vicious nature."
Jikong said: "How to do it?"
"I will recite Buddhist scriptures for an hour every day to get rid of their hostility." Li Muchan said.
Jikong said: "Is it useful?"
Li Muchan smiled: "You will know after you try it."
They returned to Yuanxin Temple. The temple door was wide open, and the beasts also got in. They lay down on the green brick floor and looked at Li Muchan quietly.
Li Muchan sat on a futon in front of the hall and began to recite Buddhist scriptures. They listened quietly and fell asleep slowly, sleeping soundly.
Li Muchan sighed, the food for these ferocious beasts was indeed a problem. Although there was a mountain with dense forests, the situation in the mountain was already determined. Once they entered, it would definitely cause a big battle. They had to get rid of their hostility first.
Return to the forest.
They all eat meat and cannot be changed to eat grass. If they are not allowed to enter the mountains on their own, they need to provide meat.
In desperation, Li Muchan thought about it and decided that he could only lose money to avoid disaster. After finishing reciting the Buddhist scriptures, he told Jingkong to go to his meditation room to get some silver coins and go to the town to buy some cooked meat.
He needs to cultivate the habit of their mature meat in order to lose their anger. Otherwise, once they are no longer influenced by his Buddhist scriptures, they will return to their original nature.
Seeing that the beasts were sleeping soundly, Jingkong shook his head in wonder, took Li Muchan's money and went to the town, and soon returned with two carts of cooked beef with Zheng Xiaosi.
Their movements awakened the beasts. They looked curiously at the two men at work, bringing the cooked meat to their mouths, but they did not eat it. They always ate raw meat and never cooked meat.
Li Muchan let out a soft whistle, and the beasts understood what he meant, and they all tried to eat, but they spit it out after only a few mouthfuls, which was obviously not to their liking.
Li Muchan shook his head and ignored it, and continued to recite Buddhist scriptures.
Every time he recited an hour, he paused for half an hour, and then recited another hour, and then paused for half an hour, and so on until night.
They all slept soundly at night. In the early morning of the next day, Li Muchan continued to chant sutras, still chanting for an hour and then resting for half an hour, chanting sutras at one breath for seven days.
The next day, the beasts couldn't bear the hunger and began to eat cooked food. After seven days, they got used to it and no longer ate raw meat.
But just a few days after the peaceful days, another master appeared in Donglai Town. This time three masters appeared, all masters. They came to find out the details about Li Muchan.
