The person in front of me has an oval face, delicate facial features, and a slender figure that is a bit thin standing under the light. A gust of night wind blows, and the moon-white robe is fluttering, which is charming.
She pursed her cherry mouth tightly, her eyes clear and sharp, piercing Li Muchan like a sword unsheathed.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Senior Sister Gong's visit is really a blessing!"
Qin couldn't wait to ask: "Xiaosan, is this your senior sister?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Yes, mother, this is Senior Sister Gong Qingyun. Senior Sister Gong is very powerful, the number one expert in the Seventh Academy of Mei Mansion!"
Mrs. Qin looked at Gong Qingyun and said kindly: "She is such a capable girl, she is such a good girl!... Come on, stop standing, sit down and talk!"
As she spoke, she warmly came forward and took Gong Qingyun's little hand.
Li Zhuzi's eyes shone brightly and he said loudly: "Yu Rong, don't just stand there stupidly, hurry up and serve tea to the guests!"
Turning her clear eyes on Gong Qingyun's face, Li Yurong pursed her lips and smiled, a strange smile.
"Dad, let me come!" Zhao Yiyi said hurriedly, turned around and entered the main room, quickly came out with a small wooden tray, gave Gong Qingyun a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Miss Gong, please sit down quickly.
.”
Mrs. Qin kept holding Gong Qingyun's little hand, looking up and down, and said with a smile: "You are so handsome, and so capable, it's rare! It's rare!"
Li Muchan looked at it with a smile and said nothing.
Gong Qingyun frowned, glanced at him, and forced a smile at Qin.
"Mom, you are so enthusiastic, don't scare people away!" Li Yurong pursed her lips and smiled.
"Nonsense!" Ms. Qin waved her hand and glared at her. When she turned back, she immediately smiled and said, "Miss Gong, how old are you? Who else is there in the family?"
Gong Qingyun coughed lightly and forced a smile: "Auntie, I want to say a few words to Junior Brother Li..."
"Okay, you guys can talk in the courtyard, and let's all go inside!" Mrs. Qin nodded quickly, turned to Li Muchan and warned: "Mistress, don't neglect Miss Gong!"
"Mom, don't worry!" Li Muchan nodded hurriedly.
Mrs. Qin pulled Li Zhuzhu and waved to Li Yurong and Zhao Yiyi. Before leaving, she did not forget to turn her head and smile at Gong Qingyun, and then led the three of them back to the main room.
Li Muchan watched them enter the house, turned back, shook his head and smiled, saying: "Senior Sister Gong, don't be surprised. My mother has always been warm and hospitable, and you are so beautiful, so I can't blame her."
Gong Qingyun's delicate face sank, and she said coldly: "Junior Brother Zhanran, I came to you to tell you that I, Gong Qingyun, am not someone who cannot afford to lose!"
Li Muchan was startled and smiled: "What do you mean by this?"
"Your four senior brothers are jumping up and down, begging for mercy, and threatening. They are so busy. It's really ridiculous! ... It's as if I lose and have to find the eldest lady to support me!" Gong Qingyun said coldly.
Li Muchan touched his bald head, feeling a little embarrassed.
He really had nothing to say. Starting from yesterday, first the eldest brother and then the four senior brothers were very nervous for fear of offending the eldest lady.
He smiled and suddenly titheed his left hand: "I underestimated Senior Sister, I'm ashamed!"
Gong Qingyun frowned lightly, stared at his face, and sneered: "Xiao Bi, let's see Zhenzhang in a month!"
She frowned secretly and thought: This Zhanran is really difficult to deal with, he is determined and broad-minded.
The young lady once said that after reaching a certain level of martial arts, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. The decisive factor is not diligence and intelligence, but the soul, mind and courage.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Okay, I've always wanted to learn the Yaoguang Sword Technique from Senior Sister Gong, but unfortunately I couldn't do it last time!"
"Humph, you will see it then!" Gong Qingyun said coldly, snorting softly: "I have finished what I have to say, no need to send it away!"
After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and turned away, tapping her toes, flying two feet away, turning around the screen wall, and disappearing.
Li Muchan looked at the direction in which she disappeared, shook his head and smiled, this Senior Sister Gong was a proud and arrogant person, and she was definitely not an ordinary woman.
Four people from the Qin family came out in a hurry and surrounded him.
Mrs. Qin grabbed his collar and shouted: "Okay, mistress, what did you do? We had a falling out in just a few words and made this girl angry!"
Knowing that Mrs. Qin and others were eavesdropping in the main room, Li Muchan and Gong Qingyun lowered their voices when speaking, so they could not hear them and could only see their faces.
Gong Qingyun kept a cold face and a sneer, obviously unhappy.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Mom, you are mistaken. Senior Sister Gong and I are not what you think... we are enemies rather than friends."
"Hmm -? What's going on?!" Mrs. Qin was startled, relaxed her hands, curled her lips and said, "Why don't you get along with such a beautiful girl!"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly: "Mom, I would like to get along well with her, but she won't agree."
"Well, all beautiful girls have a temper." Ms. Qin nodded and glanced at Zhao Yiyi.
Zhao Yiyi hummed: "Mom, what do you want me to do?"
"You can't even look at it, look at your temper!" Mrs. Qin said with a smile.
"Mother——!" Zhao Yiyi was slightly annoyed and quickly changed the topic: "Uncle, although she is beautiful, she has always been cold and cold. She is not a good match, so let's forget it."
Li Yurong shook her head and snorted angrily: "Okay! Mom, sister-in-law, the third son is a monk, why are you so worried!"
These words were like a needle, and Mrs. Qin was like a deflated rubber ball. She suddenly lost interest, shook her head and sighed: "Yes, the mistress is a monk and cannot marry a wife!"
Li Yurong said: "Mom, don't be anxious. Maybe in a few years the emperor will issue an edict to abolish the ban on customs, right?"
Mrs. Qin became energetic and said hurriedly: "Yes, old man, if we live well, we can always wait until that day!"
"Okay, okay." Li Zhuzi waved his hands and said loudly: "Eat! You can't starve to death!"
Li Yurong chuckled and said: "Okay, let's eat!"
She is very cold in front of outsiders, repelling people thousands of miles away, like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, but at home she is a daughter, not as favored as Li Muchan's second daughter.
The technique of controlling the crane and adding oil was indeed mysterious. That night, the pain in my left hand had stopped and it was no longer uncomfortable.
He practiced the Observation of Heaven, Humans and Gods, from midnight until early morning. The lotus was bright and clear, like substance, as if he could reach it at his fingertips, but the white light on the lotus never made any progress.
The next day, the sun was still shining brightly.
The bed was moved to the center of the small courtyard, but he and his sister-in-law Zhao Yiyi were still the only ones at home. Li Zhuzhu and Mrs. Qin went to Li Jian's house to help. The second sister Li Yurong returned to Yingyue Temple at dawn.
After Zhao Yiyi finished cleaning up, he asked her to sit in front of him with her back to him, and then stretched out his left palm to touch her vest, passing through a ball of internal energy, letting her experience the existence of internal energy, and then practice breathing and breathing.
Zhao Yiyi felt it was amazing and practiced very seriously.
He did nothing, and did not practice the Six Great Sutras. He just sat quietly on the couch, closing his eyes and breathing calmly, as if he was in concentration, but his thoughts were spinning at high speed.
After thinking for a long time, he made a guess: this white light needs to be nourished by the mind and must be burned with heart fire in order to become stronger and bigger.
That night, at midnight, a drop of nectar fell from Baihui and dripped onto the lotus. The lotus quickly absorbed it and became more solid and real.
He immediately exited the visualization.
As soon as he thought, all the internal energy in the Dantian surged out, like a mighty flood, sweeping through the meridians of his left hand and quickly running along the Shadowless Sword Heart Technique.
It felt like my left hand had been torn open and broken into several pieces, and the pain was unbearable.
He endured the pain, relaxed his whole body, calmed his breath and calmed his mind. After a while, he finally entered a state of concentration and immediately began to visualize.
After entering a state of concentration, the five senses become sharper and the pain becomes clearer and magnified several times.
At this time, his determination, which had been cultivated for more than ten years, showed its power. He suppressed his mind, ignored the pain, and concentrated on this white light.
Suddenly, my whole body felt light and warm, like jumping into a hot spring. My whole body felt warm and comfortable, and the pain disappeared.
He felt like he had a different body.
Immersed in this wonderful feeling, before I knew it, the sky was bright and the sunlight shone on the window paper, making the house bright and soft.
My mind has faded away from the Heavenly Man Shen Zhao Sutra, and my body is still warm. My left hand is only slightly burning and aching, which can be ignored.
He got off the couch, stretched out, and smiled.
The white light on the lotus is a little more solid, indicating that it has made great progress. My guess is good!
This is a happy event, but unfortunately, this practice is too unbelievable. It is actually a legendary ascetic practice. If you want to practice it, you need to endure great pain.
His Zen skills were profound, and his memories became clearer. He remembered that his master had said before his death that there were 84,000 Buddhist practices, and all of them could achieve enlightenment.
Among them, there is an ascetic method that specializes in condensing the mind, often injuring the body, using pain to stimulate potential and strengthen the mind. This is a heresy and not advisable.
But looking at the Sutra of Observing Heaven, Humans and Gods, it is majestic and majestic, definitely not a side sect. Is it possible that I have gone astray in my practice?
He thought for a while and decided to stop and take a look. Don't be too hasty to avoid making mistakes and falling into the devil's path.
The surprise was extinguished and he regained his composure and tranquility.
Opening the door with her right hand, she walked through the main room and came to the small courtyard. Zhao Yiyi looked into the kitchen: "Uncle, are you awake? Do you want to eat?"
Li Muchan responded: "Okay, let's eat."
After he washed up, the rice was placed on the table, hot and fragrant.
Zhao Yiyi looked charming in a pink singlet. Seeing Li Muchan holding chopsticks in her right hand, she asked with a smile: "Uncle, aren't you practicing with your left hand?"
Li Muchan smiled: "My left hand is injured again."
Zhao Yiyi was startled and asked quickly: "Okay, why are you injured?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I was practicing too fast and something went wrong."
Zhao Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled: "This right hand is just right, but my left hand is injured again. Yu Rong knows about it and has to complain again."
Li Muchan smiled and shook his head.
Four days later, in the early morning, he appeared outside Mei Mansion.
As soon as he approached the Mei Mansion, he noticed something strange. At the door, Zhong Dahe and the four of them had sullen faces, murderous intent, and an intimidating aura.
As soon as she saw him coming, her expression immediately changed, and she looked at him with a smile and a strange look in her eyes.
Zhong Dahe and the four of them are the armored guards of the Mei Mansion, and have a very good relationship with Li Muchan.
There are four levels of guards in the Mei Mansion: iron armor, bronze armor, silver armor, and gold armor. Calculated based on martial arts and meritorious service, the salary doubles for each level, and there is a huge difference.
The armored guards take turns standing in front of the door every three days.
Li Muchan titheed and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhong, what can I do?"
"Haha, it's okay! It's okay!...Zhanran, go in quickly!" Zhong Dahe laughed twice but refused to say more.
Li Muchan looked at him, then at the three of them, and entered the house without asking any more questions.
