Li Muchan glanced at the two of them and nodded slowly.
"What's it like inside?" Fang Huaizhi asked curiously.
Li Muchan said: "It's the same as outside, real and unreal,... the human brain cannot distinguish between real and unreal."
This last point is difficult for ordinary people to think about. Occasionally a clip or scene flashes in your mind, and you will feel that you have experienced it, but in fact you have not.
Fang Huaizhi shook his head and said, "I really want to see if there is a secret realm in my mind?"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Yes, everyone has one. Why, do you want to go in and have a look?"
"Yes, yes, can you?" Fang Huaizhi nodded vigorously.
Li Muchan looked at him and smiled: "As long as you find the method and practice slowly, you can see it."
"How to practice?... Hehe, sir, can you teach me?" Fang Huaizhi said with a sullen smile.
"Third Master!" Xiang Lei frowned.
This kind of secret knowledge is secret, rare in the world, and very precious. How can it be passed on to others at will? The third master's request is really too much.
Fang Huaizhi smiled and said: "Okay, I'll just stop learning!"
Li Muchan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mr. San, if you want to learn it. I can teach it to you. However, this method is a magical power of Buddhism. You need to practice meditation for ten years first. There is no shortcut to achieve true meditation."
Start practicing, otherwise it will be too dangerous."
"Ten years of meditation, darling, let's forget it!" Fang Huaizhi stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "How dangerous would it be if I didn't practice meditation and just learned it directly?"
Li Muchan said: "Just like Miss Xiao, it can range from unconsciousness to death."
"Isn't this Kung Fu for killing people?" Fang Huaizhi asked.
Li Muchan nodded and said with a smile: "This is a method of suicide. It is a bit vicious. Some people who are not familiar with the secrets learn it. They don't know how to practice. They can't bear to meditate honestly. If they learn it impatiently, they will end up dead or disabled.
, people are unconscious.”
"Mr. Li, you have a good master..." Fang Huaizhi shook his head enviously.
Li Muchan sighed: "Yes, I only learned three or four points of Master's skills. Unfortunately, I was not blessed enough and Master left early!"
Fang Huaizhi praised: "Mr. Li, although you are not a Buddhist, you are more powerful than a Buddhist monk!"
Li Muchan shook his head and said: "You can't say that. Everyone has their own strengths. When it comes to Buddhist cultivation, I may not be as good as the other masters. I may be better at some strange heretics."
While the three of them were talking, they returned to Fang Mansion. As soon as he entered the small courtyard, the three snow ladies came to greet him. Their white clothes were fluttering, and their white socks and feet were spotless.
"Sir, why didn't you come back last night? You made us so worried...Miss, please come over." Sang Niang said with a giggle.
Li Muchan frowned and said, "What do you want me to do?"
"I want to thank you for saving my life. Don't you want to go, sir?" Sang Niang asked with a smile.
Li Muchan said: "Just say I want to adjust my breath and won't go."
************************************************
He did start to adjust his breath. When he woke up, it was already evening, with the afterglow shining and colorful clouds filling the sky. He left the house and found the three girls cooking in the kitchen in the southeast. The aroma filled the whole courtyard.
After practicing Taiyin exercises, their hearing improved greatly. As soon as Li Muchan stepped out of the house, Sang Niang Tingting came out of the kitchen to greet him. She had an apron tied around her waist and her sleeves were rolled up, revealing her white lotus-like arms.
She twisted her waist and asked with a smile: "Sir, do you want to eat?"
Li Muchan nodded and asked what he had done. Sang Niang counted her treasures one by one with her fingers: "Three treasures happy pills, braised snow meat, steamed sea bass..."
Her fingers are white, round, and slender. Their roots are like jade tubes, warm and translucent. With the progress of Taiyin training, their skin is getting better and better.
"The bass was specially sent here by Third Master." Sang Niang said.
Li Muchan nodded lightly: "Okay, that's all."
Sang Niang smiled and said, "Sir, let's take a walk first, and we'll go to the back to eat later."
Li Muchan nodded and slowly left the small courtyard and went to the garden at the back. As he walked, he was thinking about Xiao Ruru. He didn't expect that this woman looked ordinary, but the secret realm in her mind was so open, far better than ordinary people.
The openness of a person's mind is determined by spiritual power. Ordinary people cannot detect spiritual power because it is too weak and has not been practiced to concentrate, so it is often difficult to detect it.
People with secret realms as vast and boundless as Xiao Ruru's are often extremely smart and energetic, and they are extremely talented people. If they can be cultivated well, they will definitely become talented. It is a pity that such people do not practice martial arts.
Once she starts practicing, her progress will definitely be far beyond that of ordinary people, and her talent will be enough to become a disciple of Xinghu Xiaozhu.
Li Muchan walked into a rose garden, looked up at the sky full of colorful clouds, and let out a long sigh. What a pity for such a talented person.
Mr. Xiao is a scholar. Judging from his old-fashioned and traditional behavior, he will never let his daughter practice martial arts.
He started to love talents, sighed with emotion, and heard the sound of footsteps. Sang Niang's steps were light. She originally had a very deep foundation in dancing. Now that she has practiced Taiyin, her steps are even lighter, like a gust of wind.
Light aroma.
"Sir, the Third Master would like to see you," she said.
"Please come in." Li Muchan ordered, and Sang Niang immediately trotted out again.
He stepped out of the flower garden and when he came to the front yard, Fang Huaizhi was walking up and down the steps of the hall, looking anxious and glancing here from time to time.
Seeing Li Muchan coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, cupped his fists and said, "Sir!"
Li Muchan clasped his fists: "Third Master, what happened?"
"Miss Xiao committed suicide!" Fang Huaizhi said urgently.
Li Muchan frowned: "Suicide?... Are you okay?"
Fang Huaizhi shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Mr. Xiao thought something was wrong before and sent someone to keep an eye on her secretly. He didn't expect that she was really going to commit suicide and saved her."
Li Muchan extended his hand to introduce him, and the two of them entered the hall and sat down.
***********************************************
Snow Lady crept in, brought a cup of tea, and glanced at Fang Huaizhi, but Fang Huaizhi didn't look sideways or look this way, as if there was no such person.
She smiled secretly and found this Mr. Fang interesting.
After she exited, Fang Huaizhi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Sir, what should I do? She doesn't want to eat a mouthful of food or a mouthful of water. She wants to commit suicide on a hunger strike... Mr. Xiao didn't have any other options, so he went to the hospital because of his illness.
Let me and my second brother go over and try to persuade her, this girl is really stubborn, it’s useless even if my words are worn out!”
Li Muchan said: "I didn't explain it clearly to her. The Rose Thief didn't do anything to her. We rescued her in time. Why should we commit suicide?"
"Yes, but she said that although she is innocent, her body has been seen, and living is boring. It is better to die to clear her innocence." Fang Huaizhi said.
Li Muchan frowned and shook his head: "What kind of idea is this? To die to clear one's innocence is to steal the rose's death, not her death."
"That's right, I also tried to persuade her, but she didn't listen and insisted on dying by herself." Fang Huaizhi said.
Li Muchan said: "If she wants to die, she must first kill the rose thief and then die."
Fang Huaizhi was startled and scratched his head: "I don't advise you like that. We can't kill the Rose Thief. How can she, a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, kill her?"
Li Muchan smiled: "There are many ways to kill people, and it doesn't have to be martial arts, such as poisoning or plotting. Sometimes a hairpin can kill people. How many martial arts masters have died at the hands of ordinary people who don't know martial arts?"
"That's what I said, but the rose thief is too cunning and invisible, so it's difficult to plot against him. Sir, I'm going to follow him. When will we start?" Fang Huaizhi asked.
Li Muchan said: "We will start after dinner tonight."
Fang Huaizhi smiled and said: "Sir, if you follow me, we can have a peaceful sleep... How about, sir, help persuade Miss Xiao?"
Li Muchan pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's fine."
"Thank you sir!" Fang Huaizhi was overjoyed, and that was exactly what he said.
Li Muchan stood up, put down the teacup, and said: "Without further delay, let's leave now and come back for dinner later."
Fang Huaizhi hurriedly took a sip of tea, then hurriedly put it down and followed out of the hall. The two of them quickly crossed the street and arrived at Xiao's Mansion. They walked straight in without having to wait.
When he arrived at Xiao Ruru's boudoir, Xiao Chaofan came down quickly, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you are here, I am so sorry to trouble you all the time!"
Li Muchan waved his hand, walked upstairs, and quickly entered the house. Lying on the couch in the house was a pale girl, it was Xiao Ruru. Her father sat in front of the couch, glaring at Xiao Ruru on the couch with a gloomy face.
"Dad, Mr. Li is here." Xiao Chaofan stepped forward and called in a low voice.
Mr. Xiao turned around, stroking his long beard and nodded: "Mr. Li, could you please advise this damn girl? I can't do it. I won't listen to what I say. I'm obsessed with it!"
Li Muchan nodded: "I'll give it a try, Mr. Xiao, don't worry."
"Alas... I am incompetent..." Mr. Xiao shook his head and stood up.
Li Muchan thought for a while and said in deep thought: "In my opinion, Mr. Xiao's reasoning is far better than that of the younger generation. It's useless to talk about it. Miss Xiao can't listen to it."
"Yes..." Mr. Xiao nodded. As a Wen Zong, once he really talks about truth, his tongue is as bright as a lotus flower, and no one can match it.
But these were of no use to the daughter who wanted to die. She turned a deaf ear to him. No matter how much truth he preached, it was all in vain. She didn't want to listen at all.
He seriously said that he had dried up his saliva and scratched his lips. Xiao Ruru's expression did not change, his determination to die did not diminish, and he gradually developed a sense of powerlessness.
Watching his daughter starve to death, he would never allow such a thing to happen, but was powerless to stop it. As time passed, she still refused to drink a drop of water or take a mouthful of food, and her body was weakening before her eyes.
She had already been in a coma for two or three days without eating or drinking, and now she was tossing like this, and her body couldn't bear it at all. In another two or three days, her life would really be in danger.
Li Muchan waved and winked to everyone, and walked out slowly. The others followed and stood at the top of the stairs.
Li Muchan turned around and said, "Mr. Xiao, I have an unkind favor."
"Mr. Li, please speak." Mr. Xiao nodded.
Li Muchan said: "If I can save my daughter this time, I want to be my disciple!"
"Do you want to take my little girl as your disciple?" Mr. Xiao asked unexpectedly.
Several people around him were startled at the same time. Xiao Chaofan was immediately overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Dad!"
Fang Huaizhi praised: "Miss Xiao is so lucky, congratulations to Mr. Xiao!"
"Wait a minute!" Mr. Xiao waved his hand and said slowly and solemnly: "...Mr. Li, it stands to reason that my little girl's life was saved by him. This request is not too much. I should agree."
, but the little girl is really not good at practicing martial arts. I heard that she has to start practicing martial arts from a young age to achieve success. Besides, she is a daughter, so what is the use of practicing martial arts? It will harm her! ... Sir, please forgive me for being rude. It is not difficult to agree.
!”
Li Muchan said with a smile: "If you practice martial arts, what happened this time won't happen."
Mr. Xiao shook his head and sighed: "Generals will inevitably die in battle. Once you practice martial arts, once you enter the martial arts world, you will often cause endless troubles, which will be useless and harmful!"
"Dad——!" Xiao Chaofan stamped his feet anxiously and shouted: "Your idea is really weird. If your martial arts are high, no one can mess with you. If you don't have martial arts, you can only be bullied. Look at us now. It's because we don't have any martial arts skills."
Martial arts masters are guarding the house!"
He added: "It's rare that Mr. Li values my little sister. This opportunity is rare. Dad, please don't delay my little sister's future!"
"Nonsense, there is no future for a girl's family!" Mr. Xiao glared at him and snorted: "I eat more salt than you eat rice. You still don't understand some truths, how can I harm you!"
Li Muchan nodded and smiled: "What Mr. Xiao said makes sense. The world is dangerous. It is indeed better to be a literati and be carefree...but everyone has their own fate. Mr. Xiao cannot impose his own ideas on his children, right?
?”
"I'm doing this for their own good!" Mr. Xiao said in a deep voice.
Li Muchan shook his head: "Everything in the world is often unsatisfactory. What happened this time is purely an unreasonable disaster. Even if Miss Xiao does not commit suicide, she will not be happy in the future, right?"
"Alas..." Mr. Xiao let out a long sigh, his face became increasingly gloomy and ugly, and the sense of vicissitudes between his brows became stronger, lamenting the dangers of the world.
Li Muchan said: "Instead of doing this, it is better to live another life and start over."
"Start over?" Mr. Xiao frowned and asked, "How to start over?"
Li Muchan said: "I want Miss Xiao to become a nun and practice for a while. If her ordinary heart changes again, it will not be too late to return to secular life."
"In this way..." Mr. Xiao was silent. He was a Buddhist believer. If there were other suggestions, he would not agree to it, but this idea moved him.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "If Mr. Xiao agrees, I will think of a way. If he doesn't agree, I have no other way. I really can't help."
Mr. Xiao thought for a moment and sighed: "Well, that's all it can do now. I promise you, just pretend that I don't have such a daughter!"
"Dad, you are so awesome! It is my little sister's blessing to be able to become Mr. Li's disciple, and it is a great thing. Besides, I can save my little sister!" Xiao Chaofan shouted.
"Shut up!" Mr. Xiao snorted angrily. He couldn't express his anger at Li Muchan, so he could only turn his anger on his son and glare at him fiercely.
Xiao Chaofan shrank his neck and did not dare to speak anymore.
Fang Huaizhi said with a smile: "Old man Xiao, don't be so angry, as if we have done something bad. In my opinion, Mr. Li, good people are hard to do, so we'd better say goodbye!"
Li Muchan nodded with a smile and glanced at Mr. Xiao.
Mr. Xiao took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Okay, as long as I can save my daughter, I will agree to anything. I will leave everything to Mr. Li!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I'll give it a try."
He got up and walked in, came to the couch, and called softly: "Miss Xiao, Miss Xiao?"
The girl on the couch closed her eyes slightly and kept lying quietly. When she heard Li Muchan's voice, she slowly opened her eyes, and her dim eyes turned slightly.
"Li...Mr. Li?" she called softly, showing a smile.
To her, Li Muchan is now closer than her parents. Li Muchan broke into the secret realm of her mind, understood him completely, and led her out.
She felt a sense of trust and security in Li Muchan from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help but believe in him.
Li Muchan sighed: "Silly girl, why are you doing this? You just forgot about this!"
"Sir, I can't forget it. It's haunting me like a nightmare. When I think of this, I feel that there is no fun in living. It's better to die early and be reincarnated!"
Li Muchan shook his head: "Nonsense!... You just treat it as a dream. Now that you wake up from the dream, you can still live your life!"
"Sir, I can't do it. Instead of suffering this torture, let me be freed!" Xiao Ruru sighed and looked at Li Muchan pleadingly.
Li Muchan sighed: "You... don't think about yourself, but also think about your parents. If you die, how will they suffer?"
She shook her head vigorously: "I can't think so much now. It's too painful to live, sir!"
"Alas... let me recite Buddhist scriptures to you." Li Muchan sighed helplessly and said warmly.
"Yeah." Xiao Ruru nodded.
Li Muchan closed his eyes slightly, formed seals with his hands, and began to chant in a low voice. He was reciting a Heart Sutra. His voice was soft and low, as if coming from the ground, full of powerful power.
He enunciated the words clearly, and the words were like pearls, which were clearly transmitted to everyone's ears. After hearing it once, the whole body felt refreshed and the feeling of fatigue was swept away.
After about half an hour, Li Muchan stopped chanting and turned to look at Xiao Ruru. He saw her face was calm and her expression was peaceful, and she smiled lightly at him.
"What happened?" Li Muchan asked.
Xiao Ruru breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head: "Sir's chanting is wonderful and very comfortable to listen to. I feel much better, but I still..."
Li Muchan frowned and looked at her, helpless: "So, your life is really miserable, isn't it?"
"Yes." Xiao Ruru said softly but resolutely: "I hope Mr. Wang will make it happen."
Li Muchan sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just make it happen for you!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand, put his index finger on her forehead, and said calmly: "You can go in peace!"
When he retracted his finger, Xiao Ruruan slowly fell down, silently.
Everyone around was startled. Xiao Chaofan rushed over and touched his sister's nose. There was no breath at all. He touched her neck again and found that there was really no beating.
Apart from the fact that her body was not hard, everything showed that her heartbeat had really stopped and she was really dead!
This made it difficult for Xiao Chaofan to understand, and he turned to glare at Li Muchan: "Sir, what are you...?"
Li Muchan sighed: "She really doesn't want to live anymore. Instead of doing this, it's better to help her and die early and be reincarnated. This is correct."
Xiao Chaofan said loudly: "Little sister, this is just a temporary confusion. As long as you persuade her properly, she will be fine in the end. What are you doing, sir? This is really too..."
***************************************
"What, killed Xiao Ru!?" Mr. Xiao immediately walked a few steps to the couch, pushed Xiao Chaofan away, and stepped forward to detect Xiao Ruru's breathing.
"Xiao Ru!" He was shocked and shook her body. Her body moved, but there was no more movement. She really died of breathlessness.
Xiao Chaofan looked at Li Muchan in confusion, and then at Xiao Ruru's face. He really couldn't believe this was true, as if it was a joke.
He looked at Xiao Ruru again and then at Li Muchan: "Mr. Li, is this not a joke?!"
Li Muchan shook his head: "I agreed to Miss Xiao's request, so I will naturally comply!"
"But you can't kill anyone!" Xiao Chaofan said loudly.
"Brother Xiao, shut up and listen to what sir has to say first!" Fang Huaizhi shouted.
Mr. Xiao also stared at Li Muchan, wanting to see what he had to say. This thing was so unbelievable that even if he was beaten to death, he would not have expected that Li Muchan would suddenly kill someone.
Li Muchan suddenly smiled and said hehe: "You don't have to worry about putting her to death and resurrecting her life. I just let her fake her death to have a taste of what it's like to die!"
"Fake death?" Xiao Chaofan asked hurriedly.
Li Muchan said: "This is a special technique that seals several acupoints around the body. If you are hit by this technique, you will definitely die, except that the body is soft and hard."
After death, when there is no warmth, the body will slowly harden, but this fake death will not. Otherwise, it will be no different from real death.
"When will the little sister wake up?" Xiao Chaofan asked.
Li Muchan said: "It doesn't have to be too long, a quarter of an hour is enough."
"Haha..." Xiao Chaofan laughed, shook his head and said, "I would like to see how my little sister feels after she wakes up again."
"You won't make a lie come true, right?" Mr. Xiao asked.
Li Muchan shook his head: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, even if she is really dead, I can still save her!"
"That's good, that's good!" Mr. Xiao nodded slowly, still a little suspicious, but he couldn't show it because he couldn't afford to offend him.
The father and son surnamed Xiao were in no mood to speak, and kept staring directly at Xiao Ruru on the couch. Fang Huaizhi was not so worried, and was confused by concern. She was not his biological sister, so he remained aloof.
He asked: "Sir, will this help?"
Li Muchan smiled: "You have to give it a try. This is a knot in her heart, and she needs to learn to untie it by herself."
Fang Huaizhi said: "I'm disgusted. She doesn't want to live at all. She died several times to no avail. She is really a stubborn girl!"
Li Muchan said: "We must try our best."
"I hope she won't live up to your husband's hard work!" Fang Huaizhi sighed.
