"Okay, Zhanran, no wonder you didn't go back home. It turns out you fell into the land of gentleness!" Amid laughter, Jin Kaitai lowered his head and stepped across the threshold, striding in.
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and raised his finger in front of his lips: "Commander, be careful what you say! This is my sister-in-law!"
The laughter stopped suddenly, and the smile froze on his face. Jin Kaitai touched the back of his head and laughed: "Look at my mouth, misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"
Zhao Yiyi's face was as red as drunk, her eyes were looking away, not daring to look at anyone.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, this is Commander Jin, please bring him some tea."
Zhao Yiyi nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked quickly into the house, as if running away, but still light and graceful.
Watching her graceful figure leave, Jin Kaitai turned his head and felt a little embarrassed: "It turns out she is Deputy Deacon Li's wife. She is so rude to a beautiful lady!"
"Commander, please take a seat, I won't stay to welcome you!" Li Muchan patted the bed.
"No need to be too polite." Jin Kaitai sat on the couch and said with a smile: "Are you practicing martial arts?... Not bad, I really enjoy it!"
He looked around. There was a faint fragrance of flowers, a rustling bamboo forest, the courtyard was small but elegant, and the bright sunshine was shining down. It was a real pleasure to sit on this couch and practice kung fu.
Li Muchan smiled: "There is no other way. I can't use my right hand hard, so I can only practice breathing and breathing techniques."
"Come, let me take a look." Jin Kaitai took his right hand, put the three fingers of his right hand on his wrist, closed his eyes, remained silent, and looked solemn.
Zhao Yiyi came over with a tea cup. Seeing this, she gently put the celadon tea cup next to Li Muchan and stared at Jin Kaitai's big face.
After a while, Jin Kaitai opened his eyes, smiled at Zhao Yiyi, and expressed his apology.
Zhao Yiyi looked calm and dignified and asked: "Commander Jin, is my uncle's injury okay?"
Jin Kaitai grinned and said: "It doesn't matter...Mrs. Li, I was very offended just now, I hope you can forgive me."
Zhao Yiyi looked calm, shook her head and smiled.
Jin Kaitai was quite surprised to see her dignified and generous spirit, but he didn't show it to her. He turned around and said, "Zhan Ran, you are really stealing the show this time!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "The eldest brother came back and told me that I had caused a big trouble and offended the eldest lady."
"Deputy Deacon Li is right." Jin Kaitai nodded and said with a smile: "Qingyun's martial arts was passed down by the eldest lady, and your kung fu was passed down by me. If you beat Qingyun, it will disgrace the eldest lady's face."
"It's just a discussion. Of course there will be winners and losers." Li Muchan smiled and pointed at the tea cup: "Commander, please have some tea."
Jin Kaitai picked up the tea cup, took off the lid and took a sip. He suddenly felt comfortable and praised: "Good tea!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "If the commander likes it, take some back. This is the tea from my Chengjing Temple... Sister-in-law, please pack some for the commander."
Jin Kaitai said hurriedly: "Bye bye!... Zhanran, there is no shortage of tea at my place!"
"Okay." Zhao Yiyi nodded lightly, turned around and walked away.
Li Muchan waved his hand: "Commander, why are you being polite to me? When will the injury on my right hand heal?"
The tradition of courtesy and reciprocity has been passed down for a long time. Naturally, it has its secrets. It is easy to use even in this world. Reciprocity is the exchange of emotions.
Jin Kaitai's eyebrows furrowed and formed the character "Chuan": "Hmm..., your meridians have not been trained and are suddenly hit by a huge internal force. It's going to be quite troublesome -!... If you do it quickly, it will take at least a month."
"So long——?!" Li Muchan also frowned.
Jin Kaitai pondered for a moment and said: "That's it, I'll teach you a healing method to speed up your recovery as much as possible."
"Then thank you very much, Commander!" Li Muchan suddenly smiled.
Jin Kaitai smiled and said: "You are so lucky!... This is not Mei Mansion's mental method. I got it by chance. It has infinite uses. Please listen carefully..."
He suddenly glanced at Zhao Yiyi.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "My sister-in-law doesn't know martial arts."
Zhao Yiyi hurriedly waved her hands and whispered: "Uncle, just talk, I'll go cook."
After that, he nodded to Jin Kaitai, turned around and walked away.
Jin Kaitai waited for her to leave and said solemnly: "Zhan Ran, the so-called Dharma is not taught to the six ears, so don't be careful!"
Li Muchan smiled and agreed. In this world, martial arts skills are priceless treasures. They are extremely precious. They are extremely difficult to obtain and require a huge price.
I am considered lucky. My eldest brother is the deputy deacon in Mei Mansion. I have also practiced the Twelve Great Strengths and Zen Kung Fu since I was a child, and developed supernatural powers.
Otherwise, it will be very difficult to acquire martial arts! Like Li Jian, he has been working in Chaoran Building for three years and has the relationship with his elder brother, so he is qualified to practice.
In a person's life, the best time to practice martial arts is only a few years. Three years is not a short period of time. If there is no big brother to guarantee Li Jian, others will need five years.
"Human Qi wants to be soft but not strong, wants to be submissive but not rebellious, wants to be stable but not want to be chaotic, wants to gather but not want to disperse. To nourish Qi lies in the existence of the spirit. God is to the Qi, just like a mother is to her child, so the spirit is condensed.
Qi gathering..."
Jin Kaitai slowly recited a verse, speaking out word by word, each word clearly, about two hundred words in total.
Li Muchan remembered it after listening to it twice. Jin Kaitai began to explain it in detail. Li Muchan couldn't help nodding. He quickly understood and tried to run it again.
He was overjoyed when a burst of coolness came over him. Ever since he woke up in the morning, his right arm had been feeling a dull pain, as if it was being burned by fire. Now it was like a stream of water poured over him, and the pain was greatly relieved.
"What's wrong?" Jin Kaitai kept staring at him.
Li Muchan opened his eyes, smiled and nodded: "I feel much more comfortable!"
"That's natural!" Jin Kaitai laughed loudly and was very proud: "This is what I keep at the bottom of my box. If you hadn't defeated Qingyun, I wouldn't be able to part with it!"
Li Muchan laughed and said: "It turns out that the commander is also not interested!"
Jin Kaitai said with a smile: "This little girl is so arrogant and powerful. She ranks first in the martial arts of the Seventh Academy, and the Tianshu Academy is also suppressed. I am really shameless in front of others!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Commander, I won by chance this time. Senior Sister Gong is not convinced and if she challenges her again, I have no choice but to give up."
Jin Kaitai shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case...although your swordsmanship is superficial and full of loopholes, your victory is due to your great strength and your ability to draw the sword quickly. Most people are really no match for you!"
Li Muchan smiled: "I only have these brute strength!"
"Infinite strength, this is a talent that no one can match!" Jin Kaitai said with a smile: "Just your magical power is worth thirty years of hard work for others."
He added: "You are not very good at swordsmanship, but you are far better at handling your internal energy than ordinary people. Hmm... It is best to learn martial arts with simple moves and complex mental techniques. It is best to use clumsiness to defeat skill."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "The magical power of Vajra is indestructible!"
Jin Kaitai sighed helplessly: "You, you, you have to go all the way to the dark side?!"
Li Muchan asked seriously: "Commander, I defeated Senior Sister Gong, so I am qualified. Can't you teach me the indestructible power of the Vajra?"
Jin Kaitai shook his head and sighed: "Let's take a look at this little competition... there is only one month left. If you can win the top three, you can learn!"
"Won't the eldest lady stop me?" Xiao Yuesheng asked thoughtfully.
Jin Kaitai hurriedly waved his hand: "The eldest lady is upright and above-board, and her bearing is better than that of a man. She disdains such tricks. You really underestimate the eldest lady!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I have never met the eldest lady, but she is so famous!"
"The eldest lady is like a fairy." Jin Kaitai's face was full of admiration and fascination, his eyes gradually became empty, and his mind seemed to have left his body.
Li Muchan smiled and did not bother him. He closed his eyes slightly and let a trace of his inner energy wander through the meridians of his right hand. It was as if a field that had been dry for a long time was met with rain, and a refreshing feeling came from him.
He suddenly realized that his mind was suddenly much stronger.
This kind of power is invisible and formless, but you can actually feel it. It guides the internal force with ease and ease, far better than before. Under its guidance, the speed of the internal force also becomes much faster, as if changing from an ox cart to a horse carriage.
This concentration is also caused by observing the heavens, humans and gods illuminating the scriptures.
This sutra is indeed of infinite mystery, but just a rough understanding of it already has such miraculous effects.
The sun at noon was shining brightly in the sky, making it a bit hot.
Li Muchan concentrated his energy on the exercise, and felt cool and refreshing, like soaking in spring water. He enjoyed it comfortably and did not feel hot at all.
Jin Kaitai traveled thousands of miles, and his deep inner strength protected his body without feeling uncomfortable.
After a long while, Jin Kaitai came back to his senses. He was a little embarrassed and coughed: "Ahem, Zhanran, I came today to ask you what kind of mental method you want to learn. Meifu Zhenfu's secret art is the Six Sutras. What do you want to choose?
Which one?"
Li Muchan recovered his mind and opened his eyes: "What do you think, Commander?"
Jin Kaitai thought for a while: "You have very strong kidney qi and great strength, so you should practice the Shaoyin Sutra."
"Can the six parts be practiced together?" Li Muchan asked.
"Study the Six Classics simultaneously?" Jin Kaitai was startled, frowning and thinking for a long time.
After a long while, he said slowly: "Your idea is quite bold! ... Any one of the six scriptures is a top secret skill. If you can master one of them and work hard, you can become a first-class master!"
He added: "For example, cultivating mental skills is like digging a canal. The wider the canal, the greater the flow and the stronger the power, right?"
Li Muchan nodded, this analogy is quite appropriate.
"People only focus on digging one, but you dig six at the same time. The six canals added together are worth one. But you only have one heart and can only guide the internal force to run along one meridian... Haha, you dug so many
There are multiple channels, but you can only use one when using them. Is it worth it?" Jin Kaitai shook his head and smiled.
Li Muchan remained silent.
Jin Kaitai added: "You have practiced the Tianyuan Breathing Technique, and your internal strength has increased far beyond that of ordinary people. When you move your hands, no matter how deep the internal strength is, it will be transmitted to the hands and feet through the meridians... What is the result when the meridians are narrow and the internal strength is strong? That's it.
You look like a bear now!"
Li Muchan sighed.
My current situation is like the traffic of later generations. The road is too narrow, there are too many cars, it is unbearable, the Dantian capacity is insufficient, and the meridians are not wide enough.
All in all, the foundation is still weak and the foundation is shallow. Others cultivate their internal strength over time, and the increase in internal strength cannot keep up with the increase in Dantian volume. I am just the opposite.
"Do you understand?...You still want to practice the Six Classics at the same time?!" Jin Kaitai said with a smile.
Li Muchan nodded slowly: "Commander, I want to learn the Six Sutras together!"
Jin Kaitai's face sank: "You kid, why are you so brainless and ignorant?!"
Li Muchan asked: "Has the Commander seen the Shadowless Sword Technique that Senior Brother obtained?"
"Hmph, I've seen it. It's indeed exquisite and rare." Jin Kaitai nodded, and then suddenly realized: "Do you want to practice the Shadowless Sword?"
Then he hummed: "If you want to practice the Shadowless Sword, just practice according to the mental method. Although it involves the six meridians of the arm, they mainly run through the Shaoyin meridian, and the other five meridians are just a short section... There is no need to practice the rest of the five meridians!"
"
Li Muchan shook his head: "I've been practicing all I want."
He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with practicing alone. After all, he came from a later generation, an era of information explosion, and his knowledge and vision were far better than ordinary people. He felt that balance was the best form, and breaking the balance would lead to consequences.
Jin Kaitai's face darkened and he stared at him with a frown.
Li Muchan clasped his left hands together and said with a smile: "Please lead me to make it complete!"
Jin Kaitai snorted with a sullen face, turned his head, and turned his back to him.
Zhao Yiyi came out wearing an apron, walked to Li Muchan's bed, and said softly: "Uncle, the meal is ready, let's eat first!"
Li Muchan smiled and nodded, turned to Jin Kaitai and said, "Commander, let's talk while eating!"
"I won't eat it!" Jin Kaitai waved his hand and said angrily.
Li Muchan turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, let's eat in the courtyard."
"Okay." Zhao Yiyi nodded, glanced at Jin Kaitai, pursed her lips, and hurriedly turned back to the kitchen.
She found it funny that this big black bear-like man was obviously the commander, but it was the other way around, as if his uncle was the commander.
Li Muchan took his seat and sat down, and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law's cooking skills are very good, not inferior to the chef of Chaoran Building. The commander is in a good mood!"
As he spoke, he walked slowly and calmly into the main room, and soon came out. He held the round table in his left hand, as light as nothing, and placed it in front of the bamboo forest, where there happened to be a shade.
Then he made three more trips and brought three chairs.
Zhao Yiyi also walked back and forth carrying dishes, with a light gait, a figure as slim as a willow, and a graceful manner.
Soon, four plates of dishes were placed on the table, two vegetarian and two meat. The colors were attractive, and they exuded steam. The aroma gradually filled the air, and soon filled the entire courtyard.
"Come, Commander, please take a seat!" Li Muchan said with a loud smile.
Jin Kaitai sat on the couch, watching him busy here and there, with a cold face, but his nose moved, and he was drooling from the aroma.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after dinner. You have the strength to scold me even if you want to, right?"
Jin Kaitai hummed and strode to the table.
"Come on, please take a seat at the table!" Li Muchan asked him to sit down at the main table.
Jin Kaitai was not polite, sat down, and smiled at Zhao Yiyi who was standing next to Li Muchan: "Mrs. Li, I'm sorry for bothering you!"
Zhao Yiyi smiled: "You're welcome, Commander."
Li Muchan stretched out his hand to support me and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, sit here."
Zhao Yiyi shrank and avoided his hand: "Uncle, there are still two dishes left for me to cook. You just drink first."
After saying that, he picked up the wine jar, pulled out the cork, poured two glasses of wine, and then quietly left.
Li Muchan smiled and didn't force himself. He picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, Commander. I'll give you a drink first. Thank you Commander for your kindness."
"I don't dare to take it!" Jin Kaitai snorted and said: "You have a stupid head, you have to go all the way to the dark side, my words will not work at all!"
Li Muchan smiled and looked up.
Jin Kaitai also drank it all in one gulp, lit up the bottom of the cup, and hummed: "You are a monk, can you drink?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I don't have to keep the precepts anymore. Come on, sir, please—!"
The two of them had one drink for you and one for me. They drank very quickly and generously. Jin Kaitai admired the food and said it was delicious and that his sister-in-law had such cooking skills.
Cups came and went, and before he knew it, Jin Kaitai was already drunk.
Li Muchan usually talks very little, but it is not that he is not good at speaking, but he has a detached mentality, looks down on all living beings, is too lazy to talk more, and feels that his words are pale and weak.
As soon as he started chatting, he immediately burst out with witty remarks, making Jin Kaitai laugh. Unknowingly, the jar of wine had reached the bottom.
Li Muchan's expression was as usual, but his eyes on the back were brighter, shining like gems, and he was full of energy.
Jin Kaitai's face turned red, as if covered with a layer of red cloth, his eyes were bloodshot, he talked more, and he became brothers with Li Muchan.
Zhao Yiyi served the last dish, which was a red and green preserved fruit, which looked fresh and cool.
Seeing Jin Kaitai like this, she whispered: "Uncle, you can't drink anymore, he is almost drunk."
This is my uncle's home-brewed rice wine. It's soft, sweet and refreshing when you drink it, but it has a strong stamina. It pours when the wind blows, and you often get drunk without even realizing it.
"Who is drunk?!" Jin Kaitai's inner strength reached the tip of his ears. When he heard it, he immediately raised his head and shouted loudly: "I'm not drunk. Come on, open another jar of wine!"
Zhao Yiyi was startled and said hurriedly: "No...no more."
Jin Kaitai's eyes widened and he turned to Li Muchan: "Zhanran, you little monk is not interesting enough! When I came to your house, there was no wine to drink!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Okay, sister-in-law, go to Li Jian's house and bring a jar."
Zhao Yiyi looked at him worriedly.
This Jin Commander is as black as a black bear, but he can't drink enough. My uncle's expression doesn't change, but he is already drunk.
Looking at his appearance, his face was red and purple, and his eyes were bloodshot. It was scary. If he drank more, he might faint. If something happened to him, it would be serious.
Li Muchan leaned over and lowered his voice in her ear: "Don't come back if you go."
Zhao Yiyi felt the heat getting into her ears, and couldn't help but blush on her face. She pursed her small mouth to suppress a smile, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, then I'll bring a jar, and you can drink it slowly."
After saying that, she twisted her waist and walked out, curling out of the door.
Jin Kaitai woke up suddenly. He turned over and looked around. He was lying on a couch. This couch was located in the center of the small courtyard, where Li Muchan was sitting previously.
The setting sun is shining, and the sky is filled with red clouds.
The small courtyard was dyed red, and the flowers bloomed in the flowerbed, which looked even more beautiful in the soft sunshine. A gust of wind blew, and the bamboo forest in the west rustled.
He looked down and saw that he was covered with a thin sheet. It was a little worn but very clean.
It was quiet around him and he coughed.
Li Muchan walked out of the main room and asked with a smile: "Commander, are you awake?"
Jin Kaitai was a little embarrassed and pretended to be fine. He frowned and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"
"Two hours, did you sleep well?" Li Muchan said with a smile.
"You are a monk, but you have a great capacity for drinking!" Jin Kaitai was a little unconvinced.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I have great strength and a large capacity for drinking. If the commander is dissatisfied, let's compete again another day!"
"Okay, just wait, I will get it back!" Jin Kaitai snorted and touched his head: "Your wine is pretty good, you won't get drunk after drinking it."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I brewed it myself, but it's a pity that I drank it all."
He added: "Commander, do you still remember what happened after you were drunk?"
"What's the matter?" Jin Kaitai frowned and thought, the scenes while drinking flashed through each other, a bit fragmented and could not be pieced together.
Li Muchan said: "Commander, you promised me to practice the Six Classics simultaneously."
"What?!" Jin Kaitai was startled, then hummed in disbelief: "I really agreed?!"
"Sure enough, I forgot. You personally promised it, Commander." Li Muchan nodded vigorously and smiled: "You also created a document, do you want to take a look?"
"No wonder your kid is trying to persuade me to drink. It turns out it's a conspiracy!" Jin Kaitai pointed at him and hummed.
A scene flashed through his mind. He was swaying, pretending to be fine, and patting his chest to promise that Zhanran would be allowed to study the Six Classics concurrently, and he could do whatever he wanted.
But the thief monk Zhan Ran kept laughing and said that he didn't believe it. He was drunk. Once he was drunk, he would never admit it when he woke up.
I remember that I was most annoyed at the time when others said I was drunk, so I had to write a document to prove it.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Commander, have you remembered?"
"Hmph, do you really want to study the Six Classics at the same time?" Jin Kaitai lowered his face and asked angrily.
He has always felt that a man's words are irresistible. No matter what time he speaks, they will be spat out.
"Yes." Li Muchan nodded solemnly.
Jin Kaitai raised his index finger on his right hand: "I have a condition."
Seeing Li Muchan nodding, Jin Kaitai said: "Yu Zhen has just started to practice the Shaoyang Sutra. Your progress in the Shaoyang Sutra cannot be lower than his!"
"The Shaoyang Sutra, it seems that senior brother has been practicing it for two months, right?" Li Muchan said.
Jin Kaitai waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, do you agree or not?"
"...Okay, I agree!" Li Muchan nodded heavily.
Jin Kaitai said: "Within one month, I want to check after the next competition!"
"How about half a year?" Li Muchan asked with a smile.
Trying to catch up with Senior Brother's progress in a month is extremely difficult.
Jin Kaitai shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Just one month!... I will check once a month. If it is lower than Yuzhen, I will specialize in the first chapter!"
"...Okay!" Li Muchan nodded.
As soon as he thought about it, he understood the commander's thoughts.
The leader, no matter how rugged he looks, is by no means a rough man. He seems to have promised himself to practice the six classics, but in disguise, he forces himself to practice only one classic.
I once heard from the second senior brother and the others that among the four, the senior senior brother had the highest qualifications. He just kept practicing the Tianyuan Breathing Technique and persisted until the end. He just started revising the Shaoyang Sutra two months ago and made rapid progress. In a short period of time, he has surpassed
Three of them.
My qualifications are extremely average. Even if I only practice once, it will be extremely difficult to catch up with my senior brother, not to mention fellow practitioners in the sixth practice.
If a fellow practitioner of the Six Classics can maintain the same level of progress as his senior brother, then there is nothing wrong with practicing the Six Classics simultaneously.
This is the commander's wishful thinking, and it can be said to be brilliant.
When Jin Kaitai saw that he had agreed, he didn't say much. He took out an oilcloth bag from his arms and unwrapped it layer by layer. Inside was a stack of thin booklets. Li Muchan saw at a glance that there were six books in total.
The top one has four large characters written in silver on the cover: Taiyang Zhenjing.
Written from top to bottom, each word is strong and vigorous, as if it is burned into the paper and seems to want to burst out of the paper.
Jin Kaitai carefully picked up a book and handed it to Li Muchan: "We have a rule in the Mei Mansion. The top mental techniques must not be written down. You must remember them after reading them. I will send back the secrets."
Li Muchan nodded and took it carefully, knowing that each of these six secret books was extremely precious. If he could practice six of them, the commander could be said to be extremely loving and indulgent to him.
He understood that in the final analysis, it was still because of Tianyuan Breathing Technique.
He had a good memory for people. He remembered it after reading it twice and handed it back.
Jin Kaitai had already experienced his extraordinary memory. He handed over the second book with a sullen face. Suddenly he turned to look at the door and frowned: "Someone is coming!"
As he spoke, he put away the package and stuffed it back into his arms, as if nothing had happened.
Then he shook his head and smiled: "It's Yu Zhen and the others!"
