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.
"Giggle...giggle..." The young woman laughed so hard that her branches trembled, as if she had heard a big joke.
Li Muchan's expression remained unchanged and he smiled and said: "It would be the best to turn the war into jade and silk. What do the three donors think?"
"Little monk, I heard that you have good cultivation, but I didn't expect you to be so pedantic." The young woman shook her head and said with a smile, "You must have heard of what our Mo Li Gong does."
Li Muchan said: "It is not a blessing that your palace behaves in an unbalanced manner."
"You can talk to the palace master about this." The young woman waved her catkins and said with a sweet smile: "Let's weigh your cultivation first, little monk, and let's do it!"
Li Muchan sighed: "There is no need to fight and kill the three female benefactors. Why not sit down and have a good talk? A gentleman talks but does not use his hands."
"Little monk, we are not gentlemen, we are women. Only women and villains are difficult to raise. Isn't this what you men often say?" The young woman smiled coquettishly and clapped her hands lightly.
Li Muchan sighed helplessly, and the black bear that had been standing quietly behind him roared, and slapped its huge bear paw.
"Bang!" The young woman took a step back, and the black bear also shook and took a step back.
The young woman looked at the black bear in surprise: "Hey, this beast still has some skills!"
"Howl..." The black bear roared angrily, beat its chest, and quickly pounced on it. The young woman did not draw her sword, and lightly jade palms greeted it.
"Bang bang bang bang..." A man and a bear were fighting together. The black bear was no match for the young woman. He received slaps from time to time, but he seemed to be fine. Instead, he became more angry and moved faster and faster.
Li Muchan stood aside with his palms clasped together, chanting Amitabha in his mouth, with a calm expression, but secretly helping the black bear.
Now that his confidence has increased, he can make the decision within a hundred meters, and he can make the wind, roar, clouds, and rain whatever he wants, and everything will be effective.
He injected internal energy into the black bear's body and circulated it in a unique way. The young woman hitting the black bear was no different from scratching it, but the black bear was very angry and no one else could touch it except Li Muchan.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred moves passed, and the young woman's face turned crimson, but her bright eyes were cold. She couldn't deal with a stupid bear with a hundred moves, and the news spread that it would make people laugh to death.
She snorted: "Little monk, don't blame me for being cruel!"
A silver light rose from her waist and swept towards the black bear. The black bear was not afraid, but became more violent and rushed forward with a "howl", "ding ding ding ding..." The sword light was scattered in all directions by the bear's paw.
Occasionally, the sword light stabbed the black bear, but it was blocked and could not penetrate. The internal force Li Muchan activated was a set of body-protecting skills, which matched the black bear's physique and complemented each other. It was extremely powerful. The long sword stabbed the body like a thorn of iron stone.
.
"Eh...?" The other two women frowned when they saw this. Why is this black bear so difficult to deal with? Not to mention the exquisite moves, after all, it still needs some firepower and is often attacked. The scary thing is that it is invulnerable.
If this continues, it will be very disappointing. No matter how hard you fight, it will be useless. It will be a waste of effort. However, any horizontally practiced kung fu has its weaknesses and its cover.
The young women in the field also understood this very well. The tip of the sword no longer stabbed randomly, but mostly stabbed the black bear's eyes. However, the black bear was very clever and protected his eyes very well, keeping his palms close to his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, after fighting for another hundred moves, Li Muchan sighed: "This female benefactor, I think we should turn the conflict into friendship, why do we have to fight and kill!"
"You're so long-winded, little monk, shut up!" the young woman said coquettishly, the light of the sword became brighter, and the power of the sword became faster and fiercer, surging like the water of a river.
The black bear was steady and calm, and Li Muchan's breath was always lingering around it, so it was fearless. Instead, it was a little excited. It let out a "howl" and moved faster.
"Two female donors, what do you think...?" Li Muchan turned to the other two women.
The two women stared at him coldly and hummed: "Little monk, are you the troublemaker?"
Li Muchan was surprised: "Why did the two female donors say this?"
A round-faced young woman hummed: "How can there be such a powerful stupid bear? You must be causing trouble, senior sister, let's deal with him!"
The oval-faced young woman nodded gently: "Okay."
After the two of them spoke, the sword flashed, and the two sword points reached Li Muchan's chest. This thrust demonstrated his skill and made it difficult for anyone to guard against.
Li Muchan sighed, shook his head and said: "The sea of suffering is boundless and there is no end. I have been entangled in resentment and have no peace. It's like falling into hell. Why live like this, Amitabha..."
While he was speaking, the two women stopped and remained still in the forward thrusting posture, with the sword tip only two inches away from Li Muchan's throat.
Li Muchan didn't seem to see the tip of the sword or the movements of the two women. He turned to stare at the black bear and the young woman. At this time, although the black bear was aroused to be ferocious, he still kept his palms from his eyes.
Li Muchan shook his head and said with a smile, this guy is really smart and spiritual. People say bears are stupid, but in fact bears are smarter than most people imagine.
The young woman was so angry that her face turned red, her bright eyes gleamed with cold light, but she couldn't help but think about the black bear. If she encountered an ordinary black bear, she could kill it with one sword, but she couldn't do anything to the black bear in front of her.
Li Muchan sighed and said warmly: "Why bother, female donor? It's better to give up!"
The young woman quickly retreated, her sword flashed slightly, and the tip of her sword reached Li Muchan.
Li Muchan shook his head, stretched out his fingers to gently hold the tip of the sword, and said in a warm voice: "Martial arts is a small thing, Buddhism has great magical powers, and the female donor does not need to try it again."
The young woman turned to look at the two women and hummed: "Did you tap their acupuncture points?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "The young monk doesn't know what acupuncture points are."
"Let go!" The young woman twisted her wrist, drew her sword and retreated. Unexpectedly, Li Muchan loosened his fingers suddenly. She shook her head and almost retreated. She glared at Li Muchan bitterly and came to the side of the two women.
She was not in a hurry to open the acupuncture points, but first checked their pulses. The breath was flowing smoothly and there was no sign of sluggishness or blockage. It was indeed not acupuncture points.
"What kind of magic did you do?!" the young woman turned her head and hummed.
Li Muchan said: "This is the Buddhist method of stopping fighting, not a magic trick."
"Shut up and untie them quickly!" the young woman scolded.
Li Muchan smiled: "Okay, after I untie it, the three female donors should leave."
"Okay, we can't beat you, so of course we have no shame in staying here any longer!" the young woman gritted her teeth and said bitterly.
Li Muchan breathed a sigh of relief and gently flicked his sleeves. The two women suddenly trembled, resumed their actions, and rubbed their sore thighs.
