Yingyue Temple is located on the top of Fengshan Mountain opposite Ai Mountain.
In a dense and stretching peach forest, there is a bamboo nunnery. The whole nunnery is green, fresh and bright, which is eye-catching.
In the evening, the sun sets in the west, the sky is filled with sunset, and the entire peach forest is dyed rose red, which is beautiful.
Li Muchan and Wen Yinyue walked on the path winding with grass, passed through the peach forest and arrived in front of the bamboo nunnery. On the way, they saw several young nuns playing, each holding a small bamboo basket with mushrooms in the basket.
The nuns turned a blind eye to the two of them and continued to play.
Wen Yinyue stopped and took a look at the five nuns. They were all young, with graceful figures. Although their appearance was not stunning, they exuded an aura of youthfulness.
Seeing them stop, a beautiful nun pointed her finger lightly, and then ran away with the nuns, disappearing into the peach forest, and the clear laughter lingered endlessly.
"Senior sister, let's go." Li Muchan said.
Wen Yinyue said calmly: "You are indeed worthy of Yingyue Temple, and your disciples are good."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "My sister is also leading the training in Yingyue Temple, and her reputation is indeed well-deserved."
Wen Yinyue glanced at him, nodded slightly, and continued to move forward.
The two of them came to the bamboo nunnery and were awestruck by the green color of the bamboo nunnery. They were a little intoxicated for a moment.
After a long while, when he came back to his senses, a pretty nun was already standing in front of him.
She is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fluttering monk's robes, slim figure, almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, beautiful appearance, and skin that can be broken by blowing, like pearls and jade dew.
She titheted and said timidly: "The two benefactors are here, what can I do?"
Li Muchan joined the tithe and said with a smile: "Wen Yinyue and Zhan Ran of the Canghai Sword Sect would like to see Master Xueyin. Please let me know."
The young female nun was startled, and then said: "Are you Zhanran,... Junior Sister Yurong's younger brother Zhanran?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I am Zhanran, is the second sister here?"
The young female nun shook her head: "Unfortunately, Junior Sister Yurong is at home these days and is not in the nunnery."
Li Muchan asked: "What about Master Qingsi?"
The young female nun said apologetically: "Senior Sister Qingsi is not here either, along with Junior Sister Yurong."
Li Muchan shook his head and smiled, and said: "Forget it, let's just pay homage to Master Xueyin... I haven't asked Master Tai to take the title of Master yet."
The young nun's face turned red and she was a little shy: "My name is Qingrou,... I will report it right away!"
"Thank you, Senior Sister Qingrou." Li Muchan smiled happily.
"It's nothing." Qingrou hurriedly shook her head, turned around and ran into the bamboo nunnery.
Li Muchan turned to look at Wen Yinyue and saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly curled up, almost like a smile but not a smile.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Senior sister, do you have anything to say?"
Wen Yinyue said lightly: "Thankfully you are a monk!"
Li Muchan laughed, shook his head and said, "Sister, I'll be lucky if you don't call me Hua Monk!"
Although his telepathy was ineffective, he had been with Wen Yinyue for so long and had a vague understanding of her character. He could guess the unfinished meaning of her words and the beginning of her words.
Wen Yinyue spoke concisely, and she was terse when she could, but she didn't have enough understanding to understand her meaning at all.
While the two were talking, footsteps sounded, slowly and calmly. The door of Yingyue Temple opened, and a beautiful woman walked out calmly.
She looks like she is in her thirties, with slender eyebrows, a beautiful nose and phoenix eyes, and a graceful and noble appearance. Although she is dressed in a jade-colored monk's robe, she gives off the feeling of a royal princess.
She stood on the steps, looking at Li Muchan with a smile, her eyes soft.
Li Muchan titheed and said with a smile: "Zhanran has met Master Tai! ...Master Tai, we finally meet each other!"
Wen Yinyue also saluted appropriately, with a calm expression and said nothing.
This nun is the Snow Seal of the Divine Nun who is famous all over the world. His Buddhism and martial arts have reached the state of perfection, resounding throughout the universe, and the Yingyue Dharma Assembly is known to the whole world.
The beautiful nun's eyes turned, and she glanced at Wen Yinyue, landing on Li Muchan's face, and said with a smile: "Zhanran, Zhanran, what a Zhanran!"
She stepped forward to Li Muchan and looked him up and down.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Master, I must be disappointed. I am not amazing in appearance and have no merit."
The Snow Seal Goddess smiled and shook his head: "Your beauty is restrained, your bones are unique, and your aura reaches the heavens... Zhanran, although your skin is ordinary, you are beautiful in it, so I am very happy to congratulate you!"
"Thank you, Master." Li Muchan smiled and shook his head: "I have no choice but to come here this time."
"Let's go over and talk." The Snow Seal Goddess raised her sleeves and led the way to a small octagonal pavilion in front of the peach forest.
The pavilion is facing the wind on all sides, surrounded by fragrant grass, with painted beams and carved pillars, and hidden patterns engraved on the corners of the eaves. It is so exquisite that you cannot see it unless you are careful.
Qingrou came over to serve tea, her feet were silent, she glanced at Li Muchan, and stepped back gently.
Only then did Li Muchan realize that it wasn't that he was in a trance just now, so he didn't notice it, but that she was so good at lightness that she landed silently, so she didn't notice it.
The Snow Seal Goddess opened the cup and sipped gently, and the fragrance immediately filled the entire small pavilion, refreshing the heart and mind.
She put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Zhanran, tell me, what is going on?"
"Good tea!" Li Muchan praised, slowly put down the tea cup, and asked with a smile: "I wonder if Master Tai can understand the Compassion Contemplation Dharma?"
Snow Seal Goddess smiled and said: "This tea is from your Chengjing Temple. Last time Yurong brought it, I was reluctant to drink it. I will use it to entertain you this time."
"So it's good tea." Li Muchan said with a smile.
The Snow Seal God nun lightly tapped his forehead with her fingers, smiling and saying: "You——ah——!"
She then asked with a smile: "Do you want to practice compassion?"
"Yes." Li Muchan nodded and said: "If you want to go to the Mahayana of Buddhism, you need to have compassion. My practice is mostly focused on meditation, and I can't develop compassion."
"Well..., the concept of compassion is a wonderful way to generate compassion." The Snow Seal Goddess nodded lightly.
The two of them sat and talked, speaking softly and slowly. Wen Yinyue was drinking tea aside, saying nothing, just looking at the two of them lightly, with bright eyes and a calm heart.
"Master, I know the concept of compassion, but I don't know how to practice it. I can only ask Master for advice." Li Muchan picked up the teacup, took another sip, and said with a smile.
He has been friends with the Snow Seal Goddess and Ni for a long time, and they have exchanged many letters. Although they met for the first time, they are like old friends and there is no sense of unfamiliarity.
The Snow Seal God Nun nodded and said with a smile: "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't dare to teach it casually. The practice of observing the Dharma is the most dangerous. Without someone who is proficient in the Dharma to protect the Dharma, it is very easy to fall into the trap... You, you have deep concentration, but...
No problem!”
"Thank you, Master." Li Muchan smiled.
The Snow Seal Divine Nun waved her jade hand gently: "It's just an initiation, it's just a little effort, so why do you want to thank me?"
She formed a seal with her hands, closed her eyes slightly, and remained motionless.
Wen Yinyue glanced at Li Muchan, who was doing the posture and asked her not to move.
After the tea time passed, the Snow Seal Goddess suddenly moved and pointed his parallel finger like an arrow. Although his bright eyes were closed, his index finger accurately hit the center of Li Muchan's eyebrows.
Putting his index finger between his eyebrows, Li Muchan let her touch it and closed his eyes. Both of them remained motionless, as if they had turned into statues.
The Snow Seal God Ni has a majestic appearance and a beautiful face that seems to be smiling but not smiling.
Li Muchan's face was peaceful at first, then slowly changed, and turned into a smile but not a smile. His expression was similar to that of the Snow Seal Nun, and also similar to that of the Bodhisattva in the temple.
When Master Xueyin pointed out, Wen Yinyue moved her shoulders, then let go, and stared at the two of them with frowning eyebrows.
After a few breaths of time, Master Xueyin closed her fingers and formed a mudra. She slowly opened her phoenix eyes, and her eyes were filled with compassion and kindness, which made people awe-inspiring.
Li Muchan remained motionless, maintaining a compassionate expression.
Wen Yinyue paid tithing to the Snow Seal God and Nun, but his expression was still indifferent.
The Snow Seal God Nun smiled slightly, returned the favor, then stood up and drifted away, entering the nunnery door. The nunnery door was slowly closed, and there was no more movement.
Wen Yinyue watched her enter the nunnery, then slowly looked away and fell on Li Muchan.
She did not expect that the world-famous Snow Seal God Nun would come out to greet her alone, without any ostentation, without any stars over the moon, just as ordinary as ordinary people.
If it weren't for her impressive aura and majesty, it would be hard to believe that this is the famous Snow Seal Goddess in Yunei.
Even on Canghai Mountain, she had heard of the name of the Snow Seal Goddess, and everyone knew about the Yingyue Dharma Assembly.
She was a little disappointed when she first saw the Snow Seal God Nun like this, but now that she thinks about it, she feels that the Snow Seal God Nun has the demeanor of a high-ranking monk, but his splendor is dull and his realm is lofty.
"Alas..." Li Muchan slowly opened his eyes, tears dripping down from the corners of his eyes.
Wen Yinyue pretended not to see it and said calmly: "How is it?"
Li Muchan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded slowly: "What a man of great mercy and compassion. The abyss of Buddhism is so profound and subtle that it is truly unfathomable!"
He seemed to still be immersed in the expression just now, and his voice was gentle and unhurried.
Wen Yinyue stared at him. After a while, Li Muchan returned to normal, smiled and said, "Let's go, senior sister."
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to Master Tai?" Wen Yinyue asked.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "No need. If you say goodbye, you will be in the inferior position. Destiny comes to meet you, and fate leaves you to leave. Just follow the fate. Let's go."
Wen Yinyue glanced at him and stood up Yingying.
Li Muchan could guess what she was thinking, and it was nothing more than scolding herself for pretending.
Li Muchan went down to Fengshan and returned home.
In the small courtyard of Li Muchan's house, Taoist priests Zheng Mengbai, Li Yurong, and Qingsi were all there. They were very surprised to see Li Muchan come back.
When they heard that Li Muchan was now a disciple of the Canghai Sword Sect, and that Wen Yinyue was the top disciple of the Canghai Sword Sect, everyone was surprised.
Li Yurong is dressed in a moon-white monk's robe, her hair is shawl, and she looks like an immortal.
She smiled and said: "San'er, you can be regarded as a successful person!"
Li Muchan laughed and drank with Taoist Zheng Mengbai, one bowl after another, enjoying themselves.
Li Yurong looked at Wen Yinyue again and said with a smile: "Miss Wen, the famous Lenglian Fairy Wen Yinyue, my little girl has admired her name for a long time!"
Wen Yinyue smiled: "I don't dare to take it seriously."
There was a coldness all over her body, and even when she smiled, she still felt cold.
Li Yurong was not surprised. When she heard that Li Muchan had joined the Canghai Sword Sect, she was filled with joy and said with a smile: "I will ask Miss Wen to take care of my third brother from now on."
Wen Yinyue glanced at Li Muchan, shook her head and smiled lightly.
Seeing her appearance, Li Yurong smiled proudly and said: "My third brother is extremely smart, but also very daring. You have to keep an eye on me, otherwise, I will accidentally poke out a huge cockroach!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Second sister, don't arrange it for me. I will leave tomorrow morning. You'd better make some good food to fill my stomach!"
"Why are you in such a hurry!...Okay, I'll cook!" Li Yurong scolded, stood up hurriedly, and said, "I'll make more, and you can take it with you tomorrow to eat on the road."
"Okay." Li Muchan nodded and drank another bowl with Taoist Zheng Mengbai.
Wen Yinyue was a little uncomfortable with Li Muchan's atmosphere. She kept a cold face and said nothing. However, Mrs. Qin became interested. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She asked Wen Yinyue to talk.
Wen Yinyue didn't know how to get along with her. Qin asked her a question and she answered, a little at a loss. Li Muchan laughed secretly and pretended not to notice.
Li Muchan knew that her mother regarded her as her daughter-in-law. While talking to Wen Yinyue, she complained about the prohibition all night long.
The next day, when the two of them carried the wooden box and left home, Wen Yinyue breathed a clear sigh of relief. Mrs. Qin was too enthusiastic and treated her too well, and she couldn't bear it.
Li Muchan smiled secretly and pretended not to know so as not to be angry.
The two of them used Qinggong to move quickly. In the middle of the morning, Wen Yinyue suddenly stopped, looked around, frowned and said: "Where are we going?... Isn't it Fengming City?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Of course it's not Fengming City."
"Where can we go if we don't go to Fengming City?!" Wen Yinyue frowned.
"Go to Dragon City." Li Muchan said.
"Dragon City?" Wen Yinyue frowned and said lightly: "Helian Family?"
Li Muchan nodded, and Wen Yinyue hummed: "Go to the Helian Family to find Li Jingwu?"
"Exactly." Li Muchan nodded and said with a smile: "Nine times out of ten, Li Jingwu is in the Helian family. There is no need to go to the Li family to look for him."
"How do you know?" Wen Yinyue snorted, shook her head and said, "No, let's go to Fengming City first!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Senior sister, why bother with that?"
Wen Yinyue said calmly: "To be on the safe side, go to Fengming City!"
Li Muchan looked at her and nodded helplessly: "In that case, just listen to Senior Sister!"
Wen Yinyue hummed: "Don't think you have a clever plan!"
Li Muchan smiled and said no more. The two of them turned around and headed towards Fengming City.
As Li Muchan walked, he meditated on Canghai Sheng Gong. He was extremely talented in the mental method and made rapid progress. He had already reached the second level of practice, and his strength was divided into actual and virtual.
With the help of the Canghai Divine Skill, he is faster.
Five days later, the two arrived at Fengming City, entered the city directly, and found the Li family.
At this time, the Li family's buildings were empty. There was only an empty mansion and a few old servants guarding the courtyard. The former prosperity had disappeared.
