As soon as Li Muchan left the room, Yu Chiming jumped over and grabbed his arm: "Fifth Junior Brother, what are you doing, making such a big noise?"
As he spoke, he poked his head around and looked inside.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I am practicing my palm power. Fourth senior brother, I heard that you want to become a bronze armored guard?"
"Hehe, have you heard about it too?" Yu Chiming suddenly smiled, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Just try it and see if you can pass it."
"You have to be careful. Miss is in a bad mood right now and will be extra strict." Li Muchan said with a smile.
Yu Chiming waved his hand: "Don't worry, the eldest lady always distinguishes between public and private matters!"
While the two were talking, Jin Kaitai came in, stood on the steps, and waved: "Zhan Ran, come with me!"
Li Muchan smiled at Yu Chiming and followed Jin Kaitai to the willow tree by the lake.
The bright lake is like a mirror, the gentle breeze blows slowly across the lake, and the willow branches sway gently, whirling in various shapes, as graceful as a girl dancing.
Jin Kaitai stopped, stared at him for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Zhanran, you know, the eldest lady really has nothing to say to you!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Qingmi, it's hard to repay her pink body."
Jin Kaitai nodded and said with emotion: "Miss asked me to teach you the swordsmanship of the Sixth Academy Town Sect! ... No one in our Mei Mansion has learned all seven sets of swordsmanship!"
Li Muchan was surprised: "Commander, you haven't learned everything yet?"
Jin Kaitai nodded: "Well, I only know four sets. The other three sets need to be taught to you personally by the eldest lady."
Li Muchan suddenly realized that the four sets of swordsmanship he knew were practiced by men, and the remaining three sets were practiced by women, and naturally it was Mei Ruolan who mastered them.
Jin Kaitai said with a smile: "Zhanran, according to your qualifications, if you want to complete the seven sets, it will take a while. Just calm down and take your time."
"Yes." Li Muchan responded respectfully.
Later, Jin Kaitai taught Tianxuan swordsmanship and taught him for an hour, asking him to come over at this time every day to learn a set of swordsmanship.
After he left, Li Muchan kept practicing hard without returning to Tianshu Academy. He didn't eat lunch at all. He practiced until the sun went down and finally got some results.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was really weird. He practiced mind skills at an extremely fast speed and practiced sword skills at an incomparable speed. As he was so talented, the most important thing he should practice was those simple moves and the kung fu of winning with force, as in later novels.
The Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon I saw.
It's a pity that I don't have enough opportunities and limited environment, so I haven't encountered such extraordinary skills, and I don't know if there is such a magical skill in this world.
When he returned to Tianshu Academy, Yu Chiming hurriedly greeted him: "Fifth Junior Brother, Miss Xiao Yuan has just arrived and wants you to go to Third Miss."
Li Muchan nodded, left Tianshu Courtyard, and came to the small pavilion on the east side of Minghu Lake, where Mei Songwan lived.
The setting sun shines on the flowerbed, dyeing all the flowers golden and red. In the small pavilion in the center, light gauze is floating, and Mei Songwan is holding her hand to watch the sunset.
She was wearing a light pink blouse, elegant and clean, and the setting sun outlined her graceful figure.
She doesn't know martial arts and can't hear Li Muchan approaching.
"Ahem." Li Muchan coughed lightly, pushed open the fence door, walked in slowly, and walked on the grassy path to the small pavilion.
He sighed secretly and felt pity in his heart. The three girls looked very lonely and desolate, full of twilight.
Mei Songwan turned around, smiled slightly, and stepped towards us: "Master Zhanran, please come in."
Li Muchan stepped in, and a delicate fragrance immediately hit his nose.
The two sat down, and Mei Songwan personally served the tea cup and said with a smile: "Have you met the Master and the fifth son of the Wang family?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes, he is a dragon and a phoenix among men, and he is indeed worthy of being a young master from an aristocratic family."
Mei Songwan sat opposite him, her starry eyes twinkling, and she was silent for a moment before saying, "Master, tell me, do people really have souls and do they have an afterlife?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes."
Mei Songwan was silent, picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, her movements were graceful, but her bright eyes gradually became blurred, and her expression was in a trance.
Li Muchan lowered his head to drink tea and said nothing.
After a while, Mei Songwan raised her head and said: "I have always had a knot in my mind in the past few years, that is, Yuan Qing's death is unclear..."
Li Muchan raised his head and said: "Third girl, the deceased is gone, so let's show our condolences... The world is inherently miserable, and we need to find light to achieve it. It is not a wise move to dwell on it all the time."
Mei Songwan bit her red lips: "I don't believe that Yuan Qing was really killed by He Zhiyuan!"
Li Muchan advised: "After so many years, there is no way to investigate even if I want to. Third Miss, just forget it and be happy. I think Third Young Master must also think so."
Mei Songwan remained silent for a long time, then sighed.
The two sat in silence, with the setting sun shining down, making their silhouettes look longer.
The sun finally sets, twilight pours out, gradually submerging the earth, and everything around becomes hazy, making it difficult to see clearly.
Mei Songwan put down the tea cup and asked: "Master, is there really a soul after death?"
Li Muchan laughed: "Three girls, monks don't lie,...but in the six paths of reincarnation, few people can preserve the memories of the previous life, and they are all washed away by karma."
"Alas..." Mei Songwan sighed again.
Li Muchan shook his head and said: "Instead of sighing, girl, it is better to practice martial arts and check it out for yourself in the future."
Mei Songwan smiled sadly: "I became possessed once and my meridians were all damaged, so I can no longer practice martial arts."
Li Muchan looked at her and vaguely guessed that the source of his obsession was still the third son of the Wang family. It seemed that the two of them had a very good relationship.
Mei Songwan said: "Master, I want to take refuge in Buddhism and relieve my worries, but I can't really believe it. What should I do?"
Li Muchan thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. If someone dies in the city, I will go and help him to die, and the girl can come with me."
"Okay!" Mei Songwan nodded with a smile.
The two talked some more, mostly with Mei Songwan asking about some Buddhist theories. Li Muchan could see that Mei Songwan was extremely smart, with precise and rigorous thinking.
It's a pity that I only know the Dharma well and cannot truly practice it.
Buddhism, Buddhist Dharma, and Buddhist practice are not one and the same, but ordinary people often confuse them.
When Li Mu meditated on Buddhism, he cultivated and attained enlightenment. He followed the path of cultivation of Buddha, attained the great road, and was liberated. However, most people in the world believe in Buddhism just to be protected by the Buddha, which he dismisses.
While the two were talking, he turned around and saw a group of people standing outside the fence. They were the fifth young master of the Wang family.
He was looking here with a frown, and when he saw Li Muchan looking over, he raised his voice and said, "Master Zhanran, what a coincidence, you are here too."
Li Muchan stood up and titheted: "Fifth Young Master, it is indeed a coincidence."
The fifth son of the Wang family pushed open the fence gate and came slowly along the path, followed by four people. The middle-aged man named Xu stared at him with wide eyes.
Li Muchan didn't seem to see him, but just looked at the fifth son of the Wang family.
Mei Songwan whispered: "He is the fifth son of the Wang family, Wang Yuanxin."
While talking, Wang Yuanxin entered the small pavilion and said with a smile: "Fourth sister-in-law, I am taking the liberty of coming, so I won't disturb you two."
Li Muchan frowned and remained silent.
Mei Songwan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't be ridiculous, I'm asking the master for Buddhist advice!"
Wang Yuanxin was surprised and said with a smile: "Master Zhanran's martial arts is extremely superb. How can Buddhism be so brilliant?"
Mei Songwan smiled and shook her head: "Yuan Xin, you are ignorant! ...Master Zhanran has superb Buddhist teachings. The Snow Seal God and Nun also highly praised him and invited Yingyue Dharma Conference, but Master Zhanran declined and refused to go."
Li Muchan smiled slightly but said nothing.
Mei Songwan is very kind to Wang Yuanxin and loves both the house and the wuba. Her attitude is completely different from that of Mei Ruolan.
"Oh——?...Disrespectful, disrespectful!" Wang Yuanxin raised his eyebrows, saluted, and said: "You are so blind that you can't see the mountain!"
Buddhism is prosperous in the world today, and monks have a very high status, especially monks who are profound in Buddhism and are highly respected by others. After hearing this, Wang Yuanxin's attitude changed drastically.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Fifth Young Master, you don't have to be like this."
After that, he stopped talking and just drank tea quietly.
Wang Yuanxin also had a raised eyebrow. Seeing this, she stopped disturbing him and turned to Mei Songwan.
He said sincerely: "Sister-in-law Fourth, come back with me."
Mei Songwan smiled and shook her head: "Uncle, you don't have to say anything anymore, I won't go back."
Wang Yuanxin patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry, fourth sister-in-law, as long as I'm here, no one will dare to bully you!"
Mei Songwan pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head: "You are also a Clay Bodhisattva!"
Wang Yuan's heart was stagnant, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sister-in-law Fourth, you are serious. I am the youngest and have never participated in those stupid things. No one will deal with me!"
"That's not necessarily true." Mei Songwan shook her head.
"Alas... you are here, my heart is always worried and I can't sleep peacefully." Wang Yuanxin frowned.
Mei Songwan chuckled: "You don't have to be like this, uncle!"
Wang Yuanxin smiled bitterly: "If you stay in Mei Mansion, if something happens to you, how will I explain it to my fourth brother?"
Mei Songwan shook her head: "Don't take your fourth brother's words seriously. I have nothing to do with your Wang family now, and I won't live there."
Li Muchan heard that Wang Yuanxin was told by the Fourth Young Master Wang before his death to take good care of Mei Songwan.
After coming out of Mei Songwan's place, Wang Yuanxin invited Li Muchan to have dinner together. Li Muchan agreed, and the six of them arrived at Chaoran Building.
The two talked and laughed happily. Li Muchan was calm and spoke little, but he was full of witty remarks. Wang Yuanxin talked a lot and was quite enthusiastic.
Li Muchan heard that Wang Yuanxin was actually encouraging him to pursue Mei Songwan, and he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, thinking it was ridiculous.
Wang Yuanxin didn't drink much. After a few bowls, he became tipsy and talked more.
His drunken eyes were hazy, he let out a long sigh, and said with a wry smile: "Master, there is nothing I can do about it. I see the fourth sister-in-law getting depressed day by day. If this continues, she won't be able to hold on! ... Please help the fourth sister-in-law!"
Li Muchan laughed and shook his head. He didn't expect that the fifth young master was also a wonderful person and could come up with such an outrageous idea.
In the end, he got Wang Yuanxin drunk and then returned home casually.
After returning home, Li Zhuzhu and the others all fell asleep. Only Taoist Zheng was drinking under the moonlight. When he saw him coming in, he waved his hand and said, "Little monk, I have something to entrust you with."
Li Muchan stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's just what the Taoist Master ordered."
The moonlight is like water, Taoist Zheng's face is like a crown jade, his eyes are shining like cold stars, and his expression is radiant.
Taoist Zheng took out a letter from his arms, handed it over, and said: "There is a letter here, please help me give it to the Yuxian Sect."
"Jade Immortal Sect?" Li Muchan was startled and took it with both hands.
Taoist Zheng said: "This is a favor for you... little monk, Miss Lin is looking for you, presumably to ask you to practice the Dragon and Phoenix Chao Yuan Golden Sutra, right?"
Li Muchan nodded and smiled.
Taoist Zheng chuckled and said, "You're a pretty good little monk. You can withstand temptation. The Dragon Phoenix Chao Yuan Jin Jing is the secret code of the immortal family!"
Li Muchan said sheepishly: "If I knew it was so powerful, I might have agreed."
"Haha... that's interesting. What you said is true!" Taoist Zheng said with a smile, stroking his beard.
He hurriedly lowered his voice, looked around, and said, "I almost forgot, they have already fallen asleep."
"Taoist Master, when will it be delivered?" Li Muchan said.
"Let's set off tomorrow, the sooner the better." Zheng Daoshi said.
Li Muchan nodded and took it into his arms solemnly.
"Little monk, remember, if you encounter trouble and cannot deliver it to the Jade Immortal Sect, tear up the letter first and don't let others see it." Taoist Zheng's face darkened.
"Okay." Li Muchan smiled, but didn't ask any more questions.
Zheng Taoist said: "This is a mental method, which will save Lin Yatou from being unwilling to give in. With this mental method, the martial arts of the Yuxian Sect will be improved to a higher level, which is enough to protect herself."
Li Muchan suddenly realized it and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Taoist Master, no matter what, I will definitely deliver the letter."
"Well, I can rest assured that you are doing your job, little monk." Taoist Zheng smiled and patted his shoulder, stood up and entered his room.
The next day, Li Muchan told Mei Ruolan that he was going to the Yuxian Sect, but Mei Ruolan objected.
With Wang Yuanxin and the others in charge, the Helian family is wary and will not offend the Mei Mansion, but they will never give in and will definitely deal with him. They cannot afford to lose this face.
Li Muchan thanked her for her concern, but the Yuxian Sect still wanted to go.
Mei Ruolan said coldly: "It's up to you!"
After that, she turned around and left the garden, ignoring Li Muchan.
Li Muchan thought for a while and finally left the Mei Mansion and went to the Yuxian Sect, which made Mei Ruolan lose his temper and wanted to chase him back.
In the end, she had no choice but to ask Wang Yuanxin to send two people to chase Li Muchan and hold a secret stalemate to avoid running into the Helian family.
Wang Yuanxin happily agreed and sent out the old man and the swarthy man.
The two of them were extremely skilled in Qinggong. As soon as they left the Mei Mansion, they used Qinggong to overtake a galloping horse and pursue Li Muchan.
Unexpectedly, the two of them chased each other for a whole day without seeing any sign of Li Muchan, so they wondered if they had taken a wrong path. After thinking about it, they decided to rush on as hard as they could and wait for him at the front.
