Li Muchan shook his head and smiled: "If you don't follow me, find someone to marry and live a peaceful life. If you follow me, you will inevitably be in danger."
Xiuxiu said: "I am my man, what will happen if I don't follow my lead!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "When I helped you redeem your life, firstly, I pity your life experience, and secondly, you are smart and well-behaved. You will suffer if you follow me."
Xiuxiu lowered her head and said softly: "My parents are gone and I am alone. Now I have a father again. Master, you don't want me anymore?"
She looked up at Li Muchan, her bright eyes filled with tears.
Li Muchan sighed, shook his head and said: "Xiuxiu, I am a martial artist. With my head tied to my belt, I could die at any time. It is not wise for you to follow me!"
"I do." Xiu Xiu said softly.
Li Muchan heard the determination and stubbornness in her words and sighed: "That's it, since you have chosen this path, then start practicing martial arts from today on!"
"Martial arts?" Xiuxiu's bright eyes were burning, and tears were still there.
Li Muchan said: "Yes, following me is very dangerous without martial arts, but practicing martial arts is very hard. Can you, a weak woman, endure it?"
"Yes!" Xiuxiu nodded vigorously: "Sir, I have long been envious of those female heroes flying around! No matter how much hardship I have, I am not afraid of it!"
She thought about her helpless situation, and she was extremely envious of those heroines who knew martial arts. If she had martial arts, how could she have no choice but to sell herself to the Hundred Flowers Ship?!
Li Muchan smiled and nodded. She has experienced hardships in life, and her tenacity is far beyond that of ordinary weak women. She is quite an achievement.
"Then I will teach you the inner method today and start practicing." Li Muchan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master!" Xiuxiu nodded excitedly.
Li Muchan said: "Call me Young Master. I'm not that old."
Xiuxiu looked at him doubtfully, and Li Muchan smiled: "Go and prepare the barrel, I will take a bath later."
Xiuxiu thought that before he taught her martial arts, he would need to perform a ceremony, taking a bath and burning incense, so she obediently agreed: "Yes, Master... Young Master!"
Li Muchan waved his hand: "Put it in my room."
"Yes, sir." Xiuxiu nodded, and Yingying left. She looked delicate and weak, but she was a child from a poor family after all. She was very strong, and it was difficult to move a big wooden barrel, but she could barely move it. Later, she had two A middle-aged maid. She doesn't need to do this kind of thing herself.
After a while, she returned to the pavilion and said, "Young master, I'm fine now."
Li Muchan nodded, got up and walked out of the pavilion, Xiuxiu followed, and the two of them arrived at Li Muchan's house.
————
A large wooden barrel has been placed in the center of the room, which can accommodate several people. The hot white air hits people, and the whole room becomes a little warmer.
Li Muchan ignored it and sat directly on the couch. Pointing to the opposite side: "Sit up cross-legged."
As soon as Xiuxiu entered the room, her beautiful face turned crimson, thinking that he finally had the idea and wanted her own body. She gritted her teeth and decided to go with his wishes. She was his after all.
When she heard the last sentence, she was suddenly startled.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Don't think wrongly, sitting like me!"
Xiuxiu's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly lowered her head and sat on the couch. Li Muchan put his hands on her vest and said warmly: "It won't feel good for a while, so you have to endure it."
"Yes." Xiuxiu responded in a low voice.
Li Muchan began to exercise, and a gurgling internal force was injected into her body and began to warm her body. She felt comfortable at first, and then slowly changed. She felt numb and sore, then swollen, painful, and torn. First, her body seemed to be torn apart, and then... Cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
She almost fainted from the pain, but thinking of how helpless she was, she gritted her teeth and remained motionless. Quan Zuo's body was not her own, and she looked down coldly.
Time passed slowly, and she felt that decades had passed. It was so long that it was almost despairing. She fell into a daze, and a strong will kept her from passing out.
Suddenly, in an instant, she woke up, and the pain slowly receded like a tide. She felt numb and comfortable, and her body was as light as a feather, and could be blown up by a gust of wind.
Li Muchan's voice sounded: "Okay, Xiu Xiu, let's wash up and change clothes first, and then start practicing."
"Yes, young master." Xiuxiu responded weakly, swaying, her whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, her clothes clung to her body, revealing her graceful curves, which were hot and alluring.
Li Muchan didn't seem to notice, so he got up and got off the couch, stretched out his hand and pressed on the wooden barrel, and suddenly white steam steamed up, and the heat was overwhelming.
He left the house, turned around and closed the door, and then the footsteps slowly faded away.
Xiu Xiu leaned on the barrel as if she was paralyzed, holding on to the edge of the barrel tremblingly. The previously cold water turned into hot water when Li Muchan pressed it. Xiu Xiu saw it with her own eyes, and suddenly felt the magic of martial arts, and became even more eager.
She glanced left and right. Although there was no Li Muchan watching, this was his house. Xiuxiu always felt a little strange. She blushed and took off her shirt, and got into the barrel with difficulty.
The hot water enveloped her, and she felt light all over, her spirits suddenly lifted, and she seemed to have regained some strength. She sat in the hot water, and a rhyme and a scene suddenly came to her mind, which seemed to be her own appearance.
, is assuming a strange posture, this person's body seems to have become transparent, a red line starts from the mind, returns to the Dantian along a strange route, and circulates continuously.
As soon as she saw this scene, her body couldn't help but follow the scene in her mind. A wave of warmth flashed in her mind, and then slowly flowed through her body, following the exact route in her mind.
Unknowingly, she fell into trance, and time seemed to have stopped passing. When she came to her senses, the water was still hot, but it felt like a long time had passed.
The water is warm, and there is a warm breath in the Dantian, a ball the size of an egg, slowly flowing, seeming to affect the flow of breath throughout the body.
This feeling was extremely wonderful. Her whole body felt comfortable, as light as a feather, and she felt infinitely powerful, as if she could punch a hole in the sky with one punch.
————
Li Muchan's voice came from outside the house: "Xiuxiu, are you awake?"
"Young Master!" Xiu Xiu screamed and hurriedly covered her chest. Then she realized that Li Muchan was outside the house and hurriedly said: "Sir, I'm fine!"
"Well. Get dressed. Let's go out for a walk." Li Muchan said warmly.
Xiu Xiu responded quickly: "Yes, Young Master."
When she raised her head and looked up, her body suddenly froze and her face turned red. There was a set of goose-yellow robes on the small table outside the barrel. She clearly remembered that a set of green robes was placed before taking a bath.
At that time, she thought it was Li Muchan who was about to take a shower and change clothes, so she laid out the green shirt. She didn't expect it to be her, but by then she had changed it into a goose-yellow one.
She immediately understood that someone had come in. Could it be the young master!?
She was blushing and guessing shyly, when Li Muchan's laughing voice came to her ears again: "Stop dawdling, I'm the one who went in."
"Mr.——, son——!" Xiu Xiu was irritated.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Don't worry. I didn't look too much. I'll wait for you in the back garden!"
The footsteps gradually faded away, and the room was quiet. She blushed and slowly came out to put on her shirt. She felt that her whole person was completely different. When she opened the door, a clear and beautiful world came into view. She had never noticed that
The world is so beautiful.
She felt as if her whole body had been cleansed, not only her eyes but also her heart, everything seemed new.
She Yingying arrived at the back garden, where Li Muchan was sitting in the small pavilion when she came over, put down the book and looked at her with a smile.
She had never felt so shy. His eyes seemed to have weight, which kept her body from shaking and staggered closer.
Li Muchan laughed and said: "Not bad, not bad!"
"Thank you so much, sir!" Xiu Xiu Yingying saluted. Her changes were all thanks to the person in front of her. Although she was his, she still wanted to express her gratitude.
Li Muchan waved his hand: "That's all, let's go out for a walk. You've been staying in the yard for the past few days and you're bored!"
"Young master, it doesn't matter to me." Xiu Xiu said, "I like to stay at home and don't like to go out."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Then come and walk with me!"
He understood that this was the truth. It was because she had suffered and knew that the world was dangerous and no place was as safe as her own home. The prosperity outside was only for the rich, but not so beautiful for ordinary people.
"Yes." Xiu Xiu responded obediently.
————
The two of them walked out of the courtyard and slowly walked around Jingzhou City.
The city of Jingzhou is very large and very prosperous, selling everything. Several streets have their own main businesses, some selling ready-made clothes, some selling jade and jewelry, calligraphy, painting, antiques, and various snacks.
The two of them started shopping around for food, tasting several snacks, and then strolled around until they slowly walked to the antique street.
Li Muchan has nothing to do and has been too lazy to go shopping for antiques. Although he has been in this world for a short time, he doesn't understand it very well and needs to learn from scratch.
In the original two worlds, he saw antiques accurately and had a photographic memory. In addition, he liked to read a lot of books and was knowledgeable.
The world in front of us is new, and we don’t understand everything. If we look at antiques, we are simply blind, unable to recognize good or bad. Antiques are a cultural sustenance. If we don’t understand these, these antiques are just broken bricks.
Xiuxiu looked at the small shops in front of her and was very curious. Antiques were only for rich people. When she went shopping in the past, she didn't even dare to look at them.
The two entered a small shop, which was full of stones. All kinds of stones, strange shapes and colors, some green, some green, some yellow, and some red. It looked really lively.
Li Muchan took a look at the stones. He didn't recognize any of the stones, but he reached out and touched them. The owner of the shop was a chubby old man, sitting on a recliner with a leisurely expression, holding a book, stroking his snowy beard and looking around.
The two came in and just nodded, not enthusiastically.
Li Muchan also nodded and touched the stones one by one, finally stopping on a green stone and raising his eyebrows.
After looking carefully for a few times, Li Muchan felt strange and pointed at the palm-sized round stone: "Old man, what kind of stone is this?"
The old man sat up from the recliner, slowly put down his book, stroking his beard and said with a smile: "Haha, you have good eyesight, this is the Jade Soul Stone."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Jade Soul Stone? Why haven't you heard of it?"
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Haha, this jade soul stone is extremely rare. It is said to be formed from the blood of ancient beasts. Generally, the blood of humans and beasts is red, but the blood of this ancient beast is green!"
Li Muchan laughed and shook his head. Although he did not fully understand the world, he had read a lot of books and read legends and myths. There were indeed some ancient beasts. These ancient beasts had extremely long lifespans, even up to ten thousand years. But ordinary people
After ten thousand years, the blood will turn from red to green.
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it. This jade soul stone is very rare and precious!"
Li Muchan glanced at the old man with a smile: "Interesting, interesting...the name of this Jade Soul Stone was given by my father-in-law yourself, right?"
The old man's hand stroking his beard stopped, and then he laughed: "It seems that the young master is also an expert when it comes to laughing and joking. ... Yes, how do you choose this name?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It's very interesting. I like it! ... Based on this legend, I have to buy this stone and put it in the water to look good!"
"Exactly." The old man laughed and said without any embarrassment.
Li Muchan doesn't know anything about antiques or stones, but he has a clear mind and can understand the old man's thoughts immediately. He knows that the old man doesn't recognize this strange stone.
————
Li Muchan said: "Old man, do you still have this stone?"
The old man said with a smile: "Master, do you really want to buy it?"
Li Muchan nodded and said: "It's quite beautiful. If you put it in the water, it will make the water look green... I'm about to make a water spring. It would be nice to put it in... Where did I get it from?"
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Sir, the price is not cheap."
Li Muchan used his mind to understand that he picked up this stone accidentally. When he was climbing a mountain to look for stones, he accidentally discovered it on the top of a mountain. The mountain was not high, and the stone was the top one. All the surrounding stones were covered with stones.
The wind, rain and sun have made it extremely rounded, but it still has sharp edges and corners.
He was curious at the time, so he asked someone to move it back and polish it like jade. He found this green stone in the center of the stone, which seemed to be the essence of the stone.
Although he didn't recognize it, he thought it was a good thing, so he put it out and wanted to sell it for a good price, but unfortunately people didn't recognize it. After putting it here for decades, his original hope turned into disappointment. In the end, he didn't bother to think about it anymore, so he just put it away.
Treat it like an ordinary stone.
However, the color of it is green, which is not pleasing to the eye, so no one has bought it. Today, he finally met Li Muchan, who knows the goods, and he was very excited.
It’s not that I want to sell it for a good price, it’s that the things I discovered have finally gained recognition.
"Please tell me a price, please!" Li Muchan said with a cheerful smile, taking the palm-sized green stone into his hand and stroking it endlessly.
The old man pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and stretched out a finger: "One hundred taels!"
Li Muchan smiled and stretched out one: "Twelve taels!"
The old man shook his head hurriedly: "No way, no way, just transporting it from the mountain to home will cost more than ten taels!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "My father-in-law has been selling it for a hundred years, but no one will buy this stone, right?... Unlike this blood stone, this is the real soul stone."
He pointed at some red stones around him. There were blood-red spots on the stones, which looked like blood had been spattered on them. The color was auspicious and very pleasing to the eye, but green was not so pleasing.
The old man said with pain: "Eighty taels, we really can't get any less!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Fifty taels, I don't need to talk anymore. If it works, I will take it. If it doesn't work, forget it."
"...Okay, I'll give it to you!" The old man nodded fiercely.
————
The two of them left the shop. Xiu Xiu held the stone in her hands, looked left and right, and frowned, feeling unconvinced.
She couldn't see anything strange about this green stone. It didn't look like it was worth fifty taels. She sold herself to the Hundred Flowers Ship for only ten taels. How could such a broken stone be worth five of herself?
She asked doubtfully: "Sir, is such a stone worth fifty taels?... Could it be a treasure?"
Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "It's baby."
"What baby?" Xiuxiu suddenly became excited.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I can't tell for a while, but you will know it later, let's go!"
"Young Master, are you not going shopping anymore?" Xiuxiu looked around with disappointment, still not satisfied.
Being able to pick up treasures while shopping gave her a sense of accomplishment. In the past, she didn't like shopping because she felt it was dangerous. She was a weak woman who was too helpless and anyone could threaten her.
Now with Li Muchan, she feels safe, as if she is hiding under a big tree, protecting herself, and not afraid of anything.
With this sense of safety and security, she felt that shopping was a kind of enjoyment, as if the world had changed and was indescribably wonderful.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Let's wait until tomorrow. Come back tomorrow and continue shopping!"
"Okay!" Xiuxiu smiled.
When the two returned home, Li Muchan took the green stone to the pavilion and sat down. He asked Xiu Xiu to fetch a basin of water, and then put the stone into the water.
Suddenly the water turned turquoise and looked like sea water, which was really beautiful.
"It's so beautiful!" Xiuxiu stood nearby and praised.
Li Muchan nodded: "It's indeed good!... When you get to the spring over there and put the stone in the spring, it will be even more beautiful!"
"Yes." Xiuxiu nodded vigorously.
Although the back garden was nice, it lacked some vitality. She had always wanted to tell Li Muchan to get some water, but the flowers lacked a trace of vitality without water.
Xiu Xiu waited on Li Muchan for a while, and then she went to the middle of the flower garden, where there was a small martial arts training ground.
She came to the martial arts training ground, assumed a strange posture, and started practicing.
The mental method taught by Li Muchan is not a sitting practice, but a standing and walking training method. It is completely different from the ordinary martial arts mental method. It is a new mental method created by him by combining many secrets.
Li Muchan is confident that this mental method is stronger than any other mental method in the world. Xiuxiu is always by his side, so he can let her practice with confidence and boldness. If something goes wrong, it can be corrected immediately.
The worst he could do was to have her start over. For him, it was not difficult to create a master through initiation. He just didn't want to shock the world. Xiu Xiu was someone close to him, so he wasn't afraid.
Li Muchan watched her enter the state of concentration quickly and nodded lightly. She was able to enter the state of concentration so quickly because she had a simple mind and a superb mental method, which was directly incorporated into the method of spiritual cultivation.
He played with the green stone in his hand and smiled.
This jade soul stone is indeed no ordinary stone. Its value is far beyond that of jade, and it contains huge power.
It is a pity that it is difficult for the world to feel this power and cannot use it. However, Li Muchan can use this power and can use it to arrange formations.
The formations in this world are useless because the vitality of heaven and earth is thin. The essence of formations is to use the vitality of heaven and earth to transform into the universe. Without vitality, formations are just decorations.
Jade can store vitality, and Li Muchan can put vitality into jade, and then use the jade to form formations, but the vitality stored in jade is limited after all, and will be consumed in the blink of an eye.
Now that I have this Jade Soul Stone, it’s different.!~!
