He Nanshan smiled and handed over the yellow silk book and said with a smile: "Since Senior Brother has spoken, I will give it to you!"
Yu Chiming grabbed it and hummed: "Second Senior Brother, just wait!"
He Nanshan laughed loudly and waved his hands, not paying attention.
Zhao Yuzhen turned around and saw Li Muchan, who was calm and composed, smiling and watching their play without any urgency, and said with a smile: "Fifth Junior Brother, are you practicing the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords?"
"Yes, senior brother." Li Muchan nodded.
Zhao Yuzhen smiled and said: "Well, although the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords are superficial, they are the foundation. Once you have mastered the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords, you can get twice the result with half the effort by practicing other sword techniques. Don't underestimate it."
Cheng Xiaofeng said: "Senior brother, the fifth junior brother is a prodigy. In just half a month, the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords have reached sixty-seven points!"
"Oh——!" Zhao Yuzhen looked Li Muchan up and down, smiled and nodded: "Okay! Okay!"
Li Muchan smiled bitterly: "Third Senior Brother, why do you need to put gold in my face! ... Such a genius cannot be taken seriously. I am very stupid and it is very difficult to practice swordsmanship."
"What's going on?" Zhao Yuzhen turned to look at Cheng Xiaofeng.
"Elder brother, that's what happened..." He Nanshan said with a smile.
He told Zhao Yuzhen one by one about Li Muchan's situation.
Zhao Yuzhen nodded as he listened thoughtfully. After hearing this, he thought for a while and said: "Fifth Junior Brother, you are uniquely blessed, so you must cherish it! ... It doesn't matter if you are struggling to practice swordsmanship. Practice slowly. Diligence can make up for your weakness. As long as you don't relax, you will always be able to do it."
It can be accomplished."
"Yes, senior brother." Li Muchan nodded, making a gesture of humility.
He has a good impression of his senior brother Zhao Yuzhen, and he really has the demeanor of a senior brother, calm and serious, neither plague nor anger, and can suppress the three people of He Nanshan.
Cheng Xiaofeng and Yu Chiming both finished reading the sword art. Cheng Xiaofeng handed it to Li Muchan: "Fifth Junior Brother, this Shadowless Sword is indeed superb. You are strong and can draw the sword quickly, so it is just right for you to learn it!"
Li Muchan took it and looked through it slowly.
There are pictures on the yellow silk book. On them, a man is practicing swordsmanship. Each person only has a few strokes, and every action and move is clearly drawn, which can be understood at a glance.
Li Muchan counted, there were thirty-six moves in total. After reading it once, it was burned into his mind. He closed it and handed it to Zhao Yuzhen. He said with a smile: "It is indeed a good swordsmanship. The moves are exquisite, far better than the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords."
Yu Chiming chuckled and said: "Fifth Junior Brother, how can the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords be compared with this Shadowless Sword!"
After that, he stood up and said with a smile: "I'll practice and see!"
He unsheathed his sword, jumped out of the verandah, stood in the sun, and swung his sword to strike. Suddenly, the sword light filled the air, and the surrounding area became much cooler.
He swung his sword extremely fast, with sword shadows flashing all over his body, as if he was swinging a dozen swords.
The sword became faster and faster, and finally, a curtain of light enveloped Yu Chiming, and the shadow of the sword was no longer visible. However, he could see his wrist turning, but the sword was not visible, as if it had become invisible.
He Nanshan nodded and praised: "Well, it is worthy of the name of Wuying!"
Cheng Xiaofeng nodded with a smile, turned around and said, "Fifth Junior Brother, if you learn this sword technique, how can you have any rival?"
Li Muchan was trying to figure out the Shadowless Sword. Hearing this, he smiled and shook his head: "This sword technique is too exquisite. I haven't learned any internal skills, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
This set of shadowless swords has a unique set of internal skills and mental methods, which he finds novel.
The secret of this sword without shadow is not the exquisite moves, but the unique inner strength and mental method.
The internal force is like a ribbon. It wraps around the elbow once, then twice around the wrist, a total of three times. There are nineteen acupuncture points. It is extremely complex. The fourth senior brother can use it immediately. He is indeed a disciple of Tianshu Academy and should not be underestimated.
He secretly experimented, drawing a trace of internal force from Dantian, up from Shaoyin Meridian, into Shaohai, passed Shaohai, to Quze, Chize, Yuliao, Quchi, Tianjing, and made a circle along the elbow.
During this period, he followed He Nanshan and the others and learned the basic knowledge of martial arts. In addition, he was calm and could vaguely see inside, and his control of internal power was far better than ordinary people.
He has profound Zen skills and can control the inside of the body as flexibly as his arms and fingers, but he is clumsy in manipulating the body. The two are worlds apart, completely different poles.
The inner force made a circle on the elbow, then moved forward, entered the spiritual path, passed along the inner pass, Lieqi, Huizong, and outer pass, and then made another circle.
Afterwards, we entered Shenmen, Yanggu, Yangxi, Yangchi, Shenmen, Daling, Taiyuan, then circled around again and entered Shaoshang.
The internal force wrapped around his arm three times in total, which was quite complex. He suddenly felt his arm light up, as if it had melted. He touched it hurriedly and found it was still there.
He probed gently, smiled, and moved much faster.
The mental method of this Shadowless Sword is indeed mysterious. With just a hint of internal force, my hand becomes two points faster, which is better than my years of hard training.
For more than ten years, I have been practicing this straight thrust without stopping.
At the beginning, the progress was obvious, and there was a significant improvement every month. Later, it seemed that it had reached its limit, and there was only a slight improvement every year.
In the past two years, he has made very little progress. After seeing the speed of his second sister's attacks, he knew that he was far behind. If he didn't practice martial arts, he would not be able to defeat an ordinary martial arts master even if he practiced hard for a lifetime.
"Okay! Enjoy it!" Yu Chiming stopped his hand with a smile on his face.
He jumped down in front of everyone and said with a smile: "Elder brother, this Shadowless Sword is a good swordsmanship. When combined with my Eight Winds Sword, it will definitely be more powerful!"
Zhao Yuzhen nodded slowly: "The subtlety of this Shadowless Sword lies in the use of internal power. If it is integrated into the Eight Winds Sword, its power can be expected!"
"Haha, thank you so much, senior brother!" Yuchi Ming was very happy.
The few of them talked for a while, and Li Muchan kept a low profile, not talking much and smiling mostly.
In the evening, the five of them left Mei Mansion and came to Chaoran Building.
It's not dark yet, the afterglow of the setting sun is still there, the Chao Ran Building is already brightly lit, just like daytime, and the sound of noise, silk and bamboo is floating around.
As soon as the five people approached, a handsome young man came up to them, smiled and clasped his fists, saying: "Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Brother He, Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Yuchi,...Master Zhanran?"
Zhao Yuzhen said: "Xiao Fang, please call me Senior Brother Zhanran from now on. Fifth Junior Brother has already entered our Tianshu Academy."
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Zhanran!" The young man named Xiaofang was startled, then smiled and saluted Li Muchan.
Li Muchan returned the courtesy and said with a smile, "Thank you very much. Is Xiao Jian here?"
This young man, Xiao Fang, was tall and handsome, with the posture of a jade tree standing in the wind. His gestures and gestures were cordial, giving people an inexplicable sense of closeness.
Li Muchan often comes to Chaoran Building, so he naturally recognizes him. Yingbin Xiaofang is a famous person with an extraordinary memory. Whenever he comes to Chaoran Building once, he can remember it and call him out accurately the next time he comes, which is not a small skill.
Xiao Fang said hurriedly and apologetically: "Unfortunately, Li Jian is not here today. He asked for leave and has to go back to prepare for the wedding."
Li Muchan nodded with a smile and said to Zhao Yuzhen: "Elder brother, I used to cut wood and sell it to Chaoran Tower, where a good friend of mine works as a waiter."
Zhao Yuzhen nodded, turned around and said, "Xiao Fang, take us to the third floor. Today I wish to congratulate the fifth junior brother."
Xiao Fang said: "The Green Bamboo Pavilion is still empty, please come with me."
Everyone followed him, climbed the stairs, and went directly to the third floor.
Although Li Muchan is very familiar with Chaoran Building, he has never been to the third floor. At most, he eats on the second floor. Ordinary guests on the third floor are not allowed to go up, and they need to have a certain identity.
The first floor is quite noisy. There are only half-height green vines between the seats. It is very spacious. Some drinkers are laughing loudly, some are noisy and arguing with each other while drinking, and some are singing to the wine. They are all crazy.
, there are all kinds of things, and it is very lively.
The second floor is much quieter, with tall screens separating the seats. People lower their voices when speaking. The sound of silk and bamboo floats, and the crisp and clear singing sounds curl up. There is a girl in red singing in front, which makes me feel happy and peaceful when I hear it.
On the third floor, there are separate rooms.
They came to a house in the south. As soon as they stepped into it, they were greeted by a green carpet, which felt like stepping on thick grass. The walls were hung with paintings and sparse green bamboos. The house was filled with the charm of Tsinghua University.
There is a square table in the front, a vase is placed on the left side of the table in front of the window, and a beast stove is on the right side. White smoke is curling up, and there is a faint fragrance.
There are two entrances to the house, the outer room is for eating, and the inner room is where you can rest and sleep.
"Fifth Junior Brother, are you satisfied here?" Zhao Yuzhen asked with a smile.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Very good, very elegant!"
Zhao Yuzhen turned around and said: "Then this is it!...Xiao Fang, let's serve the dishes. You will serve the twelve dishes."
"Okay, I'll be here later!" Xiao Fang responded and stepped back.
Immediately, a young girl in green curled in, holding a dark green teapot, her bare hands even more translucent. She poured tea for everyone, curtsied, and gently withdrew.
This girl in green clothes has a slim figure and beautiful appearance. She can be called a beauty.
Zhao Yuzhen secretly observed Li Muchan and saw that he glanced at the girl a few times and his expression was as usual.
Looking at the other three junior brothers, the second junior brother glanced at the girl twice and slowly turned away, the third junior brother glanced at her lightly and ignored her, and the fourth junior brother stared at her non-stop.
The second junior brother is deep-tempered and able to control himself, the third junior brother is arrogant and disdainful of women, the fourth junior brother is really good-tempered and lustful, but the second junior brother is the only one who is ordinary, nothing unusual, and a little unpredictable.
Logically speaking, he is a son of a peasant family. Although he is the younger brother of Deputy Deacon Li, he should have never been to the third floor. However, seeing such exquisite and refined furnishings, there is nothing unusual about him.
The dishes arrived quickly, with two vegetarian dishes served first, which seemed to take care of Li Muchan's status as a monk: five-color golden mushrooms and musu tofu, both delicious and delicious, making them mouth-watering.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Four senior brothers, don't worry about me...my sect is different from ordinary ascetics and we don't have to strictly observe the precepts."
Zhao Yuzhen became interested and asked with a smile: "Fifth Junior Brother, you don't have to follow the Buddhist precepts?"
Li Muchan nodded: "If you are in the desire realm, you need to keep the precepts. If you break them, you will have no hope of escaping from the desire realm for the rest of your life. I have practiced enough and now I have escaped from the desire realm. There is no need to keep the precepts in the desire realm."
Zhao Yuzhen and the four others were curious and asked questions, and Li Muchan answered them one by one.
At the end of the sentence, Yu Chiming smiled and said: "Fifth Junior Brother, it's better for you to be a monk. You don't have to abide by the rules and regulations. It's almost like not being a monk!"
Li Muchan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There is one more commandment that must be followed."
"Which one?" Yu Chiming asked hurriedly.
Li Muchan said: "Ordinance to abstain from customs."
Zhao Yuzhen and the four of them looked at each other in confusion.
Li Muchan said: "Last year, the emperor issued an edict that no monks in the world should return to secular life."
"I remember! It seems like this is really happening." Yu Chiming slapped his forehead.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Although I don't have to keep the precepts, I am a monk after all, and there are still some things I can't do."
"Like marrying a wife and having children?" Zhao Yuzhen said.
Li Muchan nodded slowly.
"Alas... what a pity." Zhao Yuzhen sighed.
"That's nothing." Li Muchan smiled and picked up the silver chopsticks: "Let's have a dinner."
Yuchi Ming hurriedly said: "Yes, don't say anything disappointing, let's eat and eat!"
The five of them were served wine. Li Muchan drank it and found it very delicious. It was mellow and not too spicy. Compared with the fine wines of later generations, it had a different taste.
The five people were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious. As they were drinking heavily, there was a sudden loud bang and the door was kicked open. They immediately put down their wine glasses, sat down with their swords in their hands, and their whole bodies became tense.
A girl in white, Tingting, stood outside the door, piercing her cold eyes.
Behind her stood four girls, all dressed in light pink shirts, holding long swords in their hands, eyebrows raised, and glaring fiercely at the people in the room.
"Oh, it's so lively here!" The girl in white had a smile on her face, raised her chin slightly, and looked sideways at everyone.
Her voice was clear and clear, and Li Muchan immediately sensed an air of pride.
"Gong Qingyun!" Yuchi Mingteng stood up and shouted loudly: "What are you doing here!"
Is she Gong Qingyun?
Li Muchan was very interested, and he squinted his eyes to look at it. He had a small oval face, pink and phoenix eyes, delicate eyebrows, a straight nose, and tightly pursed lips.
Her figure is slender and delicate, as if a gust of wind could blow her away. Her eyebrows are delicate and charming, but her expression is cold and stubborn.
Li Muchan's heart moved. Gong Qingyun's temperament was somewhat similar to that of his elder sister-in-law. He was a bit colder and arrogant than his elder sister-in-law. His face seemed to be covered with ice, and he kept people away from him thousands of miles away.
"My defeated general, go away!" Gong Qingyun waved her hands as if to shoo away flies, and without even looking at Yu Chiming, she stepped into the room, followed by the four women behind her. Under the soft light, all five women were radiant.
Gong Qingyun stared at Zhao Yuzhen with sharp eyes, and hummed: "Zhao, I heard that you are back, so I came here specially to take a look!"
Zhao Yuzhen frowned, sat steadily with a sullen face, and said coldly: "Don't worry about it!"
Gong Qingyun raised her chin slightly and said coldly: "I heard that you have accomplished a great job in this mission and will be awarded the Plum Blossom Sword by the head of the family. Congratulations!"
"Thank you!" Zhao Yuzhen said solemnly.
Gong Qingyun said coldly: "You have made a meritorious service, but your junior brothers still have not made much progress. It is better to move out of Tianshu Academy instead of occupying the space."
"Gong Qingyun, you are so brave!" Yu Chiming's face turned red and he roared loudly, furious.
Normally, he would have drawn his sword and started fighting, but he was worried about Gong Qingyun's martial arts and suppressed his desire to take action.
Gong Qingyun glanced at him lightly, curled up the corners of her delicate mouth, and sneered silently, then turned to Li Muchan: "You are the young monk Zhanran who has just entered Tianshu Academy, right?"
"I am Zhan Ran, I have met Senior Sister Gong!" Li Muchan stood up and titheed, and said with a smile.
Gong Qingyun looked at him sideways: "You can enter Tianshu Academy, I guess you have some skills...Xiuxiu, please give me some tips from young monk Zhanran!"
"Yes, Senior Sister!" A girl came out from behind, took two steps forward with her sword in hand, and screamed: "Little monk, please stop!"
She has a plump figure, convex front and back, a seductive face with a breath of fire, and a sweet and charming face. It is completely different from Gong Qingyun's elegance, and has a unique style.
"Gong Qingyun, you are so despicable!" Yu Chiming shouted angrily.
Cheng Xiaofeng frowned and snorted softly.
He Nanshan clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "Junior Sister Gong, Fifth Junior Brother has just started and has only learned the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords. You are acting like this, are you too rogue?"
Gong Qingyun glanced sideways at everyone, and suddenly smiled brilliantly: "Everyone who can enter Tianshu Academy is extremely talented, and they are much better than the rest of us!... Even the Twelve Plum Blossom Swords will not be able to be used by him when he comes.
It must be extremely powerful, why be humble?!"
She had been showing off her face tightly, as cold as ice, but with a sudden smile, her face suddenly shone brightly, and everyone's eyes lit up. Their eyes couldn't help but be attracted to her, and they couldn't pull them out. Even Zhao Yuzhen's eyes were straight.
Li Muchan was determined and unmoved. He turned around and said to Zhao Yuzhen: "Elder brother, I invite you to fight."
"Fifth Junior Brother..." Zhao Yuzhen blushed, frowned and shook his head.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Since Senior Sister Gong wants to teach me, how can I avoid it and not fight?"
Zhao Yuzhen looked at him, then turned to glance at He Nanshan and the others. He could not see clearly the depth of this fifth junior brother, as if he were facing a deep pool with no bottom.
Gong Qingyun smiled faintly: "Little monk, just because of this toughness, he is much stronger than those useless senior brothers of yours! ...Xiuxiu, don't be too harsh!"
Li Muchan secretly laughed, Gong Qingyun didn't look at him seriously at all, he only regarded himself as a target to attack his senior brother. He found it very interesting to feel despised like this.
He smiled and said: "Senior Sister Gong, we are just competing with each other in martial arts. Why should we use such shallow means as sowing discord to make people laugh?"
He didn't wait for Gong Qingyun to refute, turned away and said with a smile: "Junior sister Xiuxiu, please enlighten me!"
"Fifth Junior Brother, don't hold back!" Cheng Xiaofeng said calmly.
Li Muchan smiled and nodded.
Gong Qingyun was as cold as ice, biting her lower lip, and glared at Li Muchan. This little monk was smiling and didn't take him seriously at all. He was even more irritating than that Zhao Yuzhen!
Xiuxiu drew her sword out of its scabbard and yelled: "Little monk, take the move!"
A ball of sword light suddenly enveloped her, and a cold air came over her. She looked sweet, but her attacks were ruthless, as if she wanted to twist Li Muchan's sword into pieces.
