As soon as he disappeared, everyone in the town reacted and rushed to Yuanxin Temple. At this time, Ji Kong and Jing'er who were hiding in the cellar came out to greet everyone.
The group of ferocious beasts in the main hall lay quietly, as if they had fallen asleep. Seeing this, everyone took a step back and did not dare to enter the hall.
They then asked Jingkong and Jing'er where Master Zhanran had gone. Was it Master Zhanran just now? What happened.
Jingkong told what happened, and everyone suddenly realized what had happened, and then marveled. They didn't expect that Master Zhanran, at such a young age, had such superb Dharma and vast supernatural powers. He could really use Dharma to eliminate conflicts and turn away hostility. They
I always thought it was an exaggeration in Buddhist scriptures and just a legend, but I finally saw it with my own eyes and was convinced.
As their confidence grew, Li Muchan returned to Fuyun Mountain and immediately sat cross-legged on the couch, feeling the changes in his body, which were still solidifying.
Despite such a long distance, the power of faith can be transmitted without any hindrance. Compared with other internal forces, it is really extremely solid.
Li Muchan admired while watching the changes in the body, feeling the wonderful feeling of the body strengthening his body. Not only did his spirit strengthen, but his body also grew stronger.
The mental methods he originally cultivated were extremely exquisite, and the Jade Sutra had the power to cleanse the marrow and refine the body. In addition, with the foundation laid by various original exercises, his body was as strong as few in the world.
After completing the Jade Sutra, his body has almost reached the limit of human beings. It is extremely tough and hard to be damaged by swords, but it is difficult to increase it further.
Now, under the influence of Xiangshen, his body has strengthened again and he has taken another step forward. This step is more difficult than practicing the Jade Sutra.
He sat cross-legged on the couch, quietly enjoying the feeling of becoming stronger, and found the way to become stronger, just like the Buddha, looking for followers.
In the afternoon, he was bored staying alone on the mountain. Leng Chaoyun hid in the hall and could not come out. Only Xiaoyan came to see him.
However, Xiaoyan turned into a stuffy person and did not dare to say anything in front of him. She answered whatever Li Muchan asked and looked in the direction of the main hall from time to time.
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and shook his head. The two of them stood on the top of the mountain. Li Muchan pointed in the direction of the main hall: "Xiaoyan, Palace Master Leng has issued a gag order and is not allowed to talk to me, right?"
Xiaoyan nodded with a smile and spread her hands helplessly.
Li Muchan said: "This Palace Master Leng is too stingy. How can I be so bad? It's really a villain's heart that judges a gentleman's belly!"
Xiaoyan pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Miss said you are full of tricks, so be careful. You must be very powerful if you can deceive the proud disciple of Jiutian Xuannv Sect!"
Li Muchan touched his mustache and shook his head helplessly.
Xiaoyan glanced at the main hall again and said softly: "Are you really having an affair with Hai Magnolia?"
Li Muchan coughed lightly and said warmly: "Forget it, you are still young, so it's best not to say this."
"Who's so young?" Xiaoyan suddenly puffed up her chest and hummed, "I'm already seventeen!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Let's give it another two years."
Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at him and hummed: "You are so old-fashioned!... Do you want to go down and play? There is nothing interesting to see here. You can't see anything. There are quite a few nearby, including hot springs!"
"Hmm——?" Li Muchan smiled and said, "Hot spring?"
Xiao Yan said: "Yes, there is a hot spring in the small valley over there. It is very fun. Everyone sometimes goes there to play at night."
"Is it convenient for me to go there now?" Li Muchan asked.
Xiaoyan tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "There should be no one around, let's go?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "Forget it, I can't take a shower, and I'm just too hungry to go there. Do you have any books here? I want to read them to pass the time."
Xiaoyan said disappointedly: "What book do you want to read? Miss has many books, but she is very fond of books and will not lend them to others."
Li Muchan glanced at Xiaoyan. This little girl was full of bad news. She had already set a trap and was waiting for him to get in.
She was unhappy that she and her young lady were defeated at her own hands, so she wanted to take revenge. Women really couldn't offend, and they wanted to take revenge immediately.
He smiled and said: "How about reading some books on stratagem? How to see through an ambush and avoid being beaten."
Xiao Yan was startled and looked at him. Li Muchan looked at her with a smile: "Does Palace Master Leng have such a book?"
"I don't know, I want to ask." Xiaoyan said hurriedly.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Then Palace Master Leng must have a book on how to set up ambushes, right?"
Xiaoyan felt guilty in her heart and said coquettishly: "Why are you like this? You always want to set up an ambush. Can't a man come here in an honest manner?"
Li Muchan chuckled and said, "I want to be fair and aboveboard, but I'm afraid someone might set an ambush to harm me."
"Who would harm you? You are so conceited!" Xiao Yan rolled her eyes at him and turned around and said, "I'll go ask the lady if she can lend you a book!"
After saying that, she ran away, opened the door of the hall and went in. After a while, she came out and said angrily: "Okay, the lady agreed, come with me!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Xiaoyan."
Xiaoyan glanced at him sideways and hummed: "Thank you, as long as you don't talk too much!"
She also understood that Li Muchan had seen through her scheme. Although she didn't know how he saw through it, as long as he told the lady, he would be scolded.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Miss Yan, I won't say another word."
"Huh, that's more like it!" Xiao Yan said angrily, twisted her waist and walked to a side hall on the east side. She took out a key from her arms, unlocked the door and went in. When she stepped into the threshold with one foot, she turned around and gave instructions.
: "Be gentle, don't make a mess, let alone damage the book!"
"Okay, I understand." Li Muchan smiled.
When he entered the hall, he saw rows of tall tree stands, all the way to the top of the hall, touching the beams. They were so tall that they looked like they would fall down at any time. The shelves were filled with books, and they were very impressive.
There are six rows of these tall bookshelves, and each row has about ten bookshelves. The entire hall is full of books, and the rich scent of ink circulates.
Li Muchan said: "Have you read these books, Palace Master Leng?"
Xiaoyan said proudly: "These are only part of it. Miss has read it a long time ago."
Li Muchan nodded in admiration: "I didn't expect that."
Seeing his expression of admiration, Xiaoyan became more and more proud and said proudly: "Miss has loved reading since she was a child. This is just one room, there are four side halls filled with books, and there is also a secret pavilion in the main hall, hum.
You must not have studied as much as Miss!"
Li Muchan nodded: "It's really rare!"
Xiaoyan hummed: "You can read these books, but don't damage them. If there is any damage, the lady will not let you go!"
Li Muchan waved his hand and said, "Miss Yan, feel free to do whatever you want, I can do it by myself."
Seeing him looking straight at these books, Xiaoyan knew that he also liked reading. At this time, he was most bothered by anyone disturbing him, and this was the case for the young lady.
She hummed softly and turned away, breathing a sigh of relief.
In the following days, Li Muchan has been immersed in a sea of books. These books are diverse and contain everything, including some martial arts secrets.
However, these martial arts secrets were quite superficial, and Li Muchan ignored them. What he valued were some anecdotes and even geography and astronomy.
He always felt that he didn't know enough about the world, and if he wanted to fully understand it, he needed books, and it was far from enough to explore it alone.
As he read eagerly, time passed very quickly. Before he could finish reading, early that morning, while he was immersed in the sea of books, Xiaoyan came in and said, "Master Li, someone is looking for you."
Li Muchan was startled, put down the book in his hand, his Eyes of the Void immediately opened, and said with a smile: "Okay."
He stepped out of the hall, turned around and took another look, shook his head reluctantly, and came to the middle hall. In the hall, sitting on the couch was Leng Chaoyun, who was dressed in red like fire and with a face as white as jade. Sitting on the chair opposite was a blue man.
The young man in a shirt, with a face like a crown of jade and an elegant demeanor, is none other than Gu Cheng.
"Senior Brother Gu, are you here in person?" Li Muchan said with a smile after entering the hall.
Gu Cheng stood up, smiled and clasped his fists: "Junior Brother Li, you are really here!... The sect leader asked me to deliver a message."
The two of them knew each other very well and had a close relationship, and they didn't exchange much greetings. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Muchan. Li Muchan nodded lightly at Leng Chaoyun and took the letter.
He opened the envelope and read it directly. After reading a few pages quickly, he put it away, raised his head and said with a smile, "Senior brother, have you had a hard journey?"
He could see that although Gu Cheng was spotless, he still had a bit of a weathered look to him. He obviously traveled quickly without any delay.
Gu Cheng smiled and said: "It's nothing. Since you accepted the letter, I have completed the task. Why don't you leave?"
Li Muchan nodded: "I'll stay for a few days."
"Well, I'll leave first. I still have some small things to do." Gu Cheng said, turning around and clasping his fists: "Palace Master Leng, I'll take my leave."
Leng Chaoyun nodded lightly: "I won't send you far away."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I'll see you off, senior brother, let's go."
Leng Chaoyun glanced at him sideways and said nothing. After quietly watching the two of them leave, he snorted, "This Li Wuji is very thoughtful and careful. Who is he? How could he do such an untrustworthy act?"
You underestimate yourself too much!
She was secretly angry, but her expression was calm and did not show it.
"Junior brother, how many days do you want to stay?" Gu Cheng asked Li Muchan with a frown. The two of them were standing on the edge of the cliff, watching the white clouds floating in the air. Gu Cheng turned his head and glanced at the main hall and sighed: "I can see that this cold palace master
He is not a good person and is not easy to get along with."
He knew Li Muchan's temper. Looking at Wen Xu, he was arrogant. Naturally, Palace Master Leng was also the same. When two arrogant people met, they all knew what would happen.
Li Muchan smiled: "Senior brother, don't worry, I will be careful."
Gu Cheng said: "She is a woman. Just give in if you can. Don't be ignorant. If we really fight, things will be serious."
Li Muchan nodded and smiled: "The sect leader also warned me in the letter, don't worry, I won't be the same as her."
"That's it!" Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "What are you doing here?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "I don't know yet. It's a long story. I'll tell my senior brother in detail later."
"Okay." Gu Cheng nodded and patted him on the shoulder: "Junior brother, please bear with me."
This Palace Master Leng is cold and hard at first glance, which is different from Junior Sister Feng. Although Junior Sister Feng is cold, she is indifferent and indifferent, has no concern for worldly affairs, and does not want to pay attention to others.
The coolness of this cold palace master is different, it is a kind of looking down on all living beings, looking at each other with cold eyes, everyone is like a subordinate in her eyes, it is really uncomfortable, it is an extreme arrogance, no one is worthy of her smiling face.
However, Junior Brother Li has become a Grand Master at a young age. Who can be as arrogant and arrogant as him? How can he tolerate her being so arrogant in front of him? The two of them must have a showdown.
He was a little worried when he thought about this. Sooner or later something would happen if the two of them stayed together, and they needed to report it to the sect leader as soon as possible.
Seeing his uncertain expression, Li Muchan guessed what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry about it, I'll take care of it!"
Gu Cheng sighed and shook his head: "I hope so. Fuyun Palace is very powerful. Although we are not afraid, it is best not to provoke them."
"I know, I know." Li Muchan nodded helplessly and said hurriedly: "Senior brother, why don't you go to my room and have a rest? Don't be in a hurry to go back."
Gu Cheng shook his head: "I really have something to do, okay then, I'll leave!"
He patted Li Muchan on the shoulder, jumped up, his blue shirt fluttering, and shot down like a flying bird.
Li Muchan watched him land safely, waved to himself, and disappeared into a puff of smoke.
He stood on the edge of the cliff facing the wind, thought for a while, then turned and returned to the main hall.
Leng Chaoyun sat quietly on the couch in the main hall, but she sat side by side with her legs side by side, her waist straight and straight, looking elegant and calm. She was lowering her head to think, her temples were black, and her neck was as white as ivory.
Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head and cast a watery gaze: "Are you relieved this time?"
Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "We can get started."
Leng Chaoyun said: "You need to swear an oath not to tell others what you saw."
Li Muchan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's like I'm asking you for help."
"If you don't swear, I can't believe you." Leng Chaoyun said.
Li Muchan pondered, and seeing her calm expression, he frowned and said, "Palace Master Leng, what about the restraints you set on them?"
Leng Chaoyun also frowned: "You already knew this?"
Li Muchan said: "I swear, you have lifted their restrictions, how about that?"
Leng Chaoyun stared at him, his eyes as bright as water, and after a while he hummed: "You do your best to them. Anyway, it's none of your business to suppress the attack afterwards, so why bother?"
Li Muchan said: "I can't do what you, Palace Master Leng, do with human lives."
"Don't be so humble. How many people have died in your hands?" Leng Chaoyun snorted.
She has a lot of information about Li Muchan. Fuyun Palace is also a large sect that has been passed down for thousands of miles. Unlike the Yunxiao Sect, the disciples of Fuyun Palace can be said to be all over the world and have good ears and eyes.
Li Muchan said: "I never kill innocent people."
"Then they are innocent?" Leng Chaoyun narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered: "Aren't the Fuyun Palace disciples who died under their swords innocent?"
Li Muchan smiled: "The disciples of Fuyun Palace who died under their swords?"
Leng Chaoyun hesitated and suddenly snorted: "That's all, I promise you!"
She suddenly realized that he had saved the Fuyun Palace disciples who died under their swords. In this way, they did not have the lives of the Fuyun Palace disciples at their disposal to spare their lives.
Li Muchan smiled and nodded, raised his finger to the sky and swore an oath that he would never tell anyone what he saw today, otherwise he would die and he would never be able to escape reincarnation.
Leng Chaoyun stared at him carefully for a long time, feeling that his oath was a bit strange.
Li Muchan looked at her with a smile and did not explain. In fact, this was indeed a poisonous oath for him. Once he fulfilled the oath, life would be worse than death.
Leng Chaoyun's eyes were as bright as water, so deep and boundless that they could suck people's souls in. Li Muchan's heart was as calm as water, and he didn't avoid looking at her.
After a long while, Leng Chaoyun couldn't bear it anymore and turned away: "I'll trust you once!"
She raised her voice and said: "Xiaoyan, the four of you are guarding outside. No one is allowed to come in. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to step into the hall!"
"Yes." Xiaoyan and the other four girls responded, turned around and left the hall, closing the door.
The hall suddenly became quiet, with only Li Muchan and Leng Chaoyun. Li Muchan looked at her, and Leng Chaoyun floated up, like a red cloud rising slowly, to the upper floor.
After a while, she floated down, holding a small dark box in her hand, and the catkins became more and more white as jade.
Li Muchan stared at it. This small square box looked very simple. There were no patterns on the outside and no luster. It looked black at first glance, but purple upon closer inspection.
He stared at it, but he couldn't see through it. It was pitch black inside. Even as a grand master, he couldn't understand what was hidden inside. It seemed to be a separate world, isolated.
He smiled, curious.
"Is this the box?" He pointed.
"Yes." Leng Chaoyun gently placed it on the couch, looking away from it and looking at Li Muchan: "There is a secret book hidden in it, which was left by the second generation patriarch. No one knows what the secret book is.
"
Li Muchan became more and more curious and said with a smile: "The second-generation Patriarch must be a big shot, and the disciples of all generations can't guess it?"
Leng Chaoyun shook his head: "I can't guess, and no one has seen it."
"Then no one has opened it?" Li Muchan asked.
Leng Chaoyun said: "No one has opened it. Not only does it require a deep internal force, but it also requires the simultaneous injection of two internal forces, one yin and one yang."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Your Majesty and all the seniors in the past didn't ask for help?"
Leng Chaoyun frowned and looked at him, humming: "I had an adventure when I was young, which made me my current cultivation level, which is no less than that of my master."
Li Muchan heard what she meant: "Is it true that the master is better than the master? ... Isn't the cultivation level of the master and the others not enough?"
Leng Chaoyun glanced at him: "Master, it's no use if they have cultivated enough, the male disciples in the palace are not up to par."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Your palace's mentality should be suitable for women. If men are not advancing quickly in cultivation, I can't blame them for not living up to expectations!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and let's get started." Leng Chaoyun said.
Li Muchan said: "Just inject internal force?"
"Not bad." Leng Chaoyun nodded and said, "It's very simple."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "If it's so simple, why didn't our predecessors succeed? I don't believe they can't find helpers like me."
Leng Chao Yun frowned lightly, glanced at him impatiently, pressed her white jade-like right palm on the box, leaving the other half open, and motioned to Li Muchan to press it with her palm.
Li Muchan guessed that this Leng Chaoyun was amazing. He should be the most outstanding disciple in the past. He must have practiced the mental skills of Fuyun Palace to the peak.
It's no wonder that as a Grand Master, her sword energy can hurt herself, so she is naturally very clever. Unfortunately, she is limited in her understanding and cannot become a Grand Master, which is similar to Senior Sister Feng's situation.
As soon as Li Muchan stretched out his right hand, Leng Chaoyun said: "Left hand!"
Li Muchan changed his left hand to hers, keeping a little distance between them, otherwise they would inevitably start a fight.
Leng Chao Yundai's eyebrows were filled with solemnity: "If you want to succeed once, you can't take pills. If you can't hold on, you will fail, so you must pay attention to saving your internal energy."
