As soon as he finished speaking, with the sound of footsteps, a group of four people appeared from the side of the screen wall. They were all dressed in sapphire blue gowns, full of energy and high spirits. They were Li Muchan's four senior brothers.
At the head was Zhao Yuzhen, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, with a calm figure and a smile on his jade-like face.
"Four senior brothers, please come in quickly, the commander is also here." Li Muchan stepped forward, folded his left palm together in a tithe, and greeted him warmly.
The four of them met with Jin Kaitai first, and saw him stretching his legs and lazily sitting on the couch, which was placed in the center of the courtyard, and took a few more glances.
Yu Chiming was impatient and smiled directly: "Commander, what are you...?"
Jin Kaitai waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Yuchi, why are you here?"
Yu Chiming chuckled and said: "Fifth Junior Brother is injured, how can we not come and take a look!"
"You have a lot of free time!" Jin Kaitai snorted, got up from the bed, and said, "You guys can chat, I'll go back first!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Commander, why don't you join us with the four senior brothers?"
"I won't be an eyesore here!" Jin Kaitai waved his hand.
Yu Chiming immediately grabbed Jin Kaitai's sleeve and said with a smile: "This can't be done. We still have to discuss the fifth junior brother's injury with the commander!"
"Commander, let's go together." Zhao Yuzhen said with a smile.
Jin Kaitai looked at them, hummed and sat down again. Li Muchan moved four chairs. They sat in front of the couch, bathed in the sunset, their whole bodies red.
"Fifth Junior Brother, you didn't sleep well yesterday?" He Nanshan looked at Li Muchan and chuckled: "We wanted to come here early, but we thought you must have not slept well last night and had to catch up on your sleep during the day, so we didn't come here until now.
.”
"It's really uncomfortable." Li Muchan nodded and smiled.
Zhao Yuzhen said: "I will still feel uncomfortable tonight, and it will take three days to get better."
Yu Chiming smiled and said: "Senior brother, I told you not to worry, fifth junior brother doesn't need to sleep... I'm right, look at his complexion, his face is red and full of energy, he doesn't look like he hasn't had enough sleep.
?!"
Zhao Yuzhen smiled and nodded: "It's really true. Fifth Junior Brother, if you meditate for an hour, is it really worth a night's sleep?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Yes... I have been practicing the art of entering concentration since I was a child. I have practiced it for more than ten years. It is actually not difficult. Many eminent monks can do it."
"The Buddhist teachings are exquisite and indeed unique." Zhao Yuzhen nodded slowly.
Jin Kaitai stared and asked, "Zhanran, you don't need to sleep?"
Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "Being in trance is a great rest. It is more effective than sleeping. I am in trance for an hour, which is worth a night's sleep."
"Okay! Okay!" Jin Kaitai kept nodding and looked at him a few times: "No wonder you are so ambitious!"
Cheng Xiaofeng glanced at the secret book in Li Muchan's left hand: "Fifth Junior Brother, which scripture did you choose?"
Li Muchan smiled: "I major in Shaoyin Sutra and also study the other five volumes."
The four of them were startled, and Yu Chiming hurriedly asked: "Have you learned all six scriptures?"
Li Muchan nodded.
"Are you crazy?" Yuchi Ming screamed strangely, looked at him strangely, and turned to Jin Kaitai: "Commander, is it possible to do such nonsense?"
Jin Kaitai lowered his face and hummed angrily: "Let's give it a try. Practice for a month first. If he doesn't succeed, he can practice the Shaoyin Sutra alone."
It is true that drinking can cause trouble. This little monk Zhanran is also a thief. He trapped himself after drinking. It would be embarrassing to say this, so naturally he cannot say it.
Everyone nodded and didn't say much. Since he had made up his mind and couldn't be persuaded, it might as well let him give it a try. It was only for a month anyway.
Although they had not been in contact for a short time, they also understood Li Muchan's temper. He was smiling and didn't talk much, but his ideas were right. Once he made up his mind, no one could dissuade him.
He Nanshan looked around and said with a smile: "Fifth Junior Brother, although this courtyard is small, it is very elegant and quiet. I really enjoy sitting here and I am so lazy that I don't want to move!"
"Yes, compared with Jingyuan, it has a different charm." Cheng Xiaofeng nodded.
Yu Chiming chuckled and said: "Fifth Junior Brother, you have given us a bad breath this time. Hehe, those girls in Yaoguang Yuan can no longer be arrogant. They are so dejected!"
"Fourth Junior Brother!" Zhao Yuzhen frowned.
"Elder brother, am I right!" Yu Chiming said loudly and snorted bitterly: "In the past few years, these girls from Yaoguang Yuan are all so arrogant and arrogant. When we see them, we all look askance at them. It's really irritating!
"
As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Kaitai.
Jin Kaitai glared at him in return, and he curled his lips without saying the next words.
Zhao Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the fourth junior brother would complain about the commander again, which would really offend the commander, and he would not be able to escape a lesson and would suffer in vain.
Jin Kaitai was calm and collected, glanced sideways at Yu Chiming, and laughed twice.
Since Li Muchan mastered the Tianyuan Breathing Technique, he has been happy, his energy has become smoother, his heart has become more relaxed, his mind has broadened, and he can pretend not to hear the words of a fool like Yu Chiming.
Zhao Yuzhen said: "By the way, Fifth Junior Brother, we met with the eldest lady this morning. It seems that the eldest lady didn't care, so there's no need to worry."
Yu Chiming chuckled and said: "Those boys and girls in the Sixth Academy are just talking. If you give them the courage, they don't dare to touch the people of Tianshu Academy!"
"Okay, you guys!... I've made a big fuss. I really pissed off the eldest lady. You can't bear to eat and walk around!" Jin Kaitai waved his hands and hummed in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Commander, there won't be any trouble." Zhao Yuzhen smiled.
Yu Chiming smiled proudly: "In this competition, we want to take the top three!"
Cheng Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head.
He Nanshan laughed: "Fourth Junior Brother, can you beat Gong Qingyun?"
"Hey, let the fifth junior brother take care of her. She won't be able to play!" Yu Chiming rubbed his hands and laughed.
Li Muchan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Fourth Senior Brother, I was dealt with by Senior Sister Gong."
Zhao Yuzhen said: "Well, the fifth junior brother won by chance this time. Gong Qingyun will soon find a way to restrain himself. After all, she is the eldest lady's personal successor."
Everyone was silent. When it came to the eldest lady, they seemed to be extremely afraid.
Li Muchan became even more curious and wanted to meet this young lady.
"San'er, are there guests?" A mellow and soft voice came, a white shadow flashed, and Li Yurong suddenly appeared next to the screen wall.
Jin Kaitai was startled, and Huo De turned his head to look. He had so much internal energy that he could hear flies falling within ten feet, but he didn't notice anyone coming. He was extremely surprised.
At a glance, a beautiful woman stood curlingly opposite.
He has jade-white monk robes, long hair shawl, soft appearance, skin as crystal clear as jade, and a pair of black and bright red phoenix eyes, shining like gems, which is breathtaking.
She stood there quietly, under the setting sun, like a white jade statue, without a trace of smoke and dust, lighting up the entire small courtyard.
"Second sister!" Li Muchan raised his hand with a smile and said with a smile: "Come on, this is Commander Jin, my senior brother, second senior brother, third senior brother, and fourth senior brother."
Then he smiled at the five people who were stunned and said: "This is my second sister, her name is Yu Rong."
Li Yurong looked calm and titheed everyone calmly.
Everyone stood up hurriedly and returned the gift one after another. Even Zhao Yuzhen, who was as steady as Zhao Yuzhen, was still in a daze, feeling that Li Yurong was radiant and her every move was graceful and touching.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Second sister, why are you so early today?"
"Well, Master has a guest today." Li Yurong smiled, nodded to everyone, and walked into the room without stopping.
Everyone felt melancholy, and the small courtyard seemed to dim all of a sudden.
After a while, Yu Chiming came over and lowered his voice: "Fifth Junior Brother, is she your second sister?"
Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "Yes, why, the fourth senior brother recognizes my second sister?"
"How could I have such an opportunity!" Yu Chiming waved his hands hurriedly and said with a smile: "I thought that no woman in this world could compare to the eldest lady and the third grandma. I was wrong!"
Li Muchan laughed and said: "Fourth Senior Brother is also able to turn around and praise others. The sun is really coming out in the west!"
"Nonsense!" Yu Chiming said hurriedly, glanced at the direction of the room, and hummed: "I just don't want to turn around, it's not that I don't know how to talk!... Hum, if I turn around, I will definitely turn so hard that you can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south!
"
"Okay, fourth junior brother!" Zhao Yuzhen hummed in a deep voice, turned to Li Muchan, and said warmly: "Your second sister seems to know martial arts."
Everyone looked at Li Muchan.
Li Muchan nodded and said with a smile: "Second sister is a close disciple of the Snow Seal Master. I don't know the depth of my martial arts, so I must be pretty good... right? Commander?"
"Inscrutable." Jin Kaitai nodded slowly.
Yu Chiming didn't seem to believe it: "No way, so powerful?!"
"Huh, you two together are no match for her!" Jin Kaitai glared at him.
"Is it really that powerful, Fifth Junior Brother?" Yu Chiming still didn't believe it and turned to Li Muchan.
Li Muchan smiled: "I don't know how good my second sister is in martial arts. She has never done anything with me, but her cooking skills are very good. Let's just stay for dinner."
"Forget it!" Jin Kaitai waved his hands hurriedly and hummed: "It's getting late, we should go!"
He was still frightened. Although Zhanran was not drunk, he was drunk after all. If he drank again and got drunk by these four boys, he would definitely fall down, which would be a huge embarrassment!
Zhao Yuzhen and the four others were a little reluctant and sat still.
He Nanshan smiled and said: "No hurry, no hurry, have all five junior brothers learned all the six scriptures?"
"By the way, Zhanran, take a look." Jin Kaitai remembered, took out another oilcloth package from his arms, opened it, and gave him the other four books.
Li Muchan didn't say much. He picked up the thin book and lowered his head to read through it. The others closed their mouths and kept quiet for fear of disturbing him.
Li Muchan quickly put away his distracting thoughts, cleared his mind, and focused on the secret book in his hand. He flipped through the pages very quickly. Today, he was particularly energetic and could read things quickly.
Zhao Yuzhen and the others looked left and right, sizing up the small courtyard, but their eyes couldn't help but glance towards the main room.
After a while, I finished reading all five secret books and handed them back to Jin Kaitai.
"Remember?" Jin Kaitai asked solemnly.
Li Muchan nodded solemnly: "I remember, thank you very much, Commander!"
Jin Kaitai waved his hands and hummed with a sullen face: "Then we will see the outcome in a month!"
He just stood up, sat down again, and said in a deep voice: "Yuzhen, have you heard of Master Xueyin?"
Zhao Yuzhen was startled, then after thinking for a moment, his face suddenly changed and he said: "Is it the Snow Seal God Nun from Yingyue Temple?!"
"Finally you haven't lost your mind yet!" Jin Kaitai snorted.
"It's actually the Snow Seal Goddess of Yingyue Temple!" Zhao Yuzhen looked at the main room and then at Li Muchan in surprise, losing his composure.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "My second sister is indeed at Yingyue Temple."
Zhao Yuzhen touched his forehead with his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You really have a blind eye but don't see Mount Tai. It turns out that your sister is actually a disciple of the Snow Seal God Nun!"
"Elder brother, Snow Seal Goddess, which one is it?" Yu Chiming blinked his eyes.
"You have been staying in the house, and you don't know how many heroes there are in the world... The Snow Seal Goddess and Ni are masters of Buddhism and are eminent monks respected by everyone in the world!" Zhao Yuzhen said solemnly.
"Oh..." Yu Chiming nodded and looked respectful. He respected the monk because he loved the house and the bird because of Master Fa Xing.
Zhao Yuzhen saw that He Nanshan and Cheng Xiaofeng were a little disapproving, and hummed: "The Snow Seal Goddess is not only profound in Buddhism, but also in martial arts. She is one of the top masters in the world!"
Cheng Xiaofeng smiled: "How about comparing it to the commander?"
"I'm not even worthy of carrying shoes for Shen Ni!" Jin Kaitai snorted.
While he was talking, Li Yurong curled out, carrying a faint fragrance to Li Muchan, and asked softly: "San'er, where are your father and mother?"
She looked calm and gentle as water, but she only looked at Li Muchan and ignored the other five, Jin Kaitai, as if she was the only one in her eyes.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I went to Li Jian's house. They have been living there these days."
"Them..." Li Yurong shook her head lightly, smiled sweetly, and suddenly frowned: "What's wrong with the arm?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just a little injury." Li Muchan smiled.
"Let's take a look." Li Yurong frowned, and everyone's eyes were dazzled. She had already stood on the other side of Li Muchan, carefully raised his right hand, and put three green fingers on his wrist.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to her hands.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, these three fingers are round and trim, like freshly peeled bamboo shoots, exuding a soft and gentle luster, which is astonishingly beautiful.
The hairs all over their bodies stood up, as if these three fingers had been placed on their wrists, the coolness and pores all over their bodies suddenly opened.
After a moment, she nodded slightly: "Well, the meridians are injured."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it will be fine after a while."
"It's not a serious injury, but it's troublesome!" Li Yurong said, "Let me treat it for you."
"Can the second sister cure it?" Li Muchan asked with a smile.
Li Yurong smiled and said: "I am an ordinary person, so I don't take this minor injury seriously!"
"Okay, let's give it a try." Li Muchan said with a smile.
Li Yurong said no more, gently put down his arm, closed her bright eyes, clasped her hands together, and suddenly she looked solemn.
After a while, the skin on her face slowly changed, the brilliance flowed, and became more and more crystal clear, as if it had really turned into white jade, crystal clear and moist, and it looked like Guanyin Bodhisattva descending to earth.
The jade-white monk's robe slowly floated up, gradually bulged, and fluttered, as if he were standing on the top of a mountain facing the powerful wind, and his hair fluttered like black satin.
Zhao Yuzhen and the others looked at her blankly, with confusion in their eyes. At this moment, Li Yurong was really like a fairy who was banished to the mortal world and wanted to ride away in the wind. At this moment, they actually had the urge to worship her.
Her eyes suddenly opened, with gleaming light in them. She stretched out her left hand and made a gentle move. Li Muchan's right arm was suddenly raised and held flat, as if being held by an invisible hand.
Jingying's right palm cupped into the shape of a crane's beak, and she lightly pecked Li Muchan's right arm several times. It was light and agile, and had a leisurely and comfortable charm.
She retracted her palms, closed them again, closed her gleaming eyes, and took a long breath. The jade-white monk's robe slowly lay flat against her body, and her hair hung down and fell to her shoulders.
Her skin returned to its previous delicate and translucent whiteness, less translucent, but more vibrant and fragrant. Her hair was a little messy, which actually made her charming and charming, completely different from before.
"...the crane-controlling technique!" Jin Kaitai hesitated and asked tentatively.
Li Yurong opened her bright eyes and looked at Jin Kaitai in surprise: "You actually know this technique?"
Jin Kaitai said hurriedly: "The art of controlling cranes and adding oil is a rare science in the world. It is said to be the best in prolonging life. I have heard about it a little, and I am lucky to see it today!"
Li Yurong smiled faintly: "My cultivation is not enough, so I can only kill chickens with a bull's knife."
"Second sister——" Li Muchan smiled bitterly.
Li Yurong chuckled: "Okay, I made a mistake. How do you feel now?"
Li Muchan said: "It looks like roasted chicken, it's really like roasted chicken!"
"It will take an hour to bake." Li Yurong smiled, stretched out her onion finger to explore his right wrist, nodded and said, "It should be ready tomorrow."
"Zhan Ran, you are so lucky!" Jin Kaitai looked envious.
Li Muchan chuckled and said, "I didn't know the second sister was so capable!"
Li Yurong smiled lightly and said, "San'er, you just sit down and talk, I'll go to Li Jian's house to have a look."
Li Muchan said: "Invite sister-in-law to come back and start cooking quickly."
"Okay." Li Yurong nodded and said with a smile, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Just get a few at will." Li Muchan said with a smile.
Jin Kaitai hurriedly stood up, waved his hands and said: "Bye bye... Zhanran, we should go too!"
"Commander, let's eat here tonight!" Li Muchan said with a smile.
"This can't be done." Jin Kaitai shook his head and said solemnly: "Let's wait for another day. Today I have a secret guide and I want to put it into the warehouse early!"
Li Muchan looked at Zhao Yuzhen and the other four: "Then, senior brother, you stay."
Zhao Yuzhen hesitated for a moment and finally shook his head.
When Li Muchan saw this, he didn't force them to stay. He agreed with a smile and sent them away.
Jin Kaitai and his party quickly left Lijia Village and walked quickly along the mountain road.
The sun has set, the twilight is hazy, and the distance has become blurry. The crowing of cocks, the barking of dogs, and the crying of children gradually fade away.
They didn't say a word and just walked on in silence. They seemed to have no interest in talking. They were immersed in the inexplicable silence, with only the whistling of the wind in their ears.
After a long time, when they reached the top of the mountain and walked down, Yu Chiming couldn't help but talk.
He turned to Jin Kaitai and asked: "Commander, is that Snow Seal God Nun really powerful?"
"Yeah." Jin Kaitai nodded, thoughtfully.
"How powerful is it?" Yu Chiming asked.
Jin Kaitai kept walking and thought for a moment: "...We from the Mei Family together can't stop her."
Yu Chiming paused for a moment before catching up again. He scratched his head and said with a bitter smile: "Fifth Junior Brother, this guy is really enviable. He has a good life!"
He Nanshan asked: "Commander, can the fifth junior brother's injury really heal in two days?"
Jin Kaitai shook his head and sighed: "The Crane Control Technique is a miraculous way to prolong life. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as you have a breath, your life can be extended for ten days... It's really killing a chicken with a sledgehammer!"
He thought that the healing technique he had taught Zhanran, although it was exquisite, was far different from the technique of controlling cranes and adding oil. However, no matter how good it was, Miss Li could not pass it on to Zhanran.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relaxed.
Ever since he saw Li Yurong, his whole body was tense, as if he was facing a fierce tiger, involuntarily nervous.
He Nanshan smiled bitterly and said: "Fourth Junior Brother is always talking nonsense, but this time he told the truth. Fifth Junior Brother is really lucky!"
Normally, Yuchi would have retorted and shouted in disobedience, but now he just shook his head, smiled, and sighed.
Zhao Yuzhen coughed and said in a deep voice: "Okay, the fifth junior brother has a good sister and a good brother. We can't envy him, but we are the most reliable. ... Practice hard and try to catch up with the fifth junior brother!"
Everyone was refreshed, and Yu Chiming said loudly: "Yes, we can't let this kid get proud!"
Li Muchan's small courtyard was shrouded in twilight and was a little blurry. He lit a lantern and the courtyard became brighter. The bed was still placed in the center of the courtyard.
Li Yurong went into the kitchen to cook, and her soft voice came clearly: "San'er, Master asked me to ask you, 'What is there outside of your heart in this world?'"
Li Muchan sat on the couch, holding a book in his left hand, nodded casually, and said "hmm".
"By the way, Master also said that you would be invited to attend the Yingyue Dharma Assembly next month." Li Yurong seemed to be speaking in his ear, her voice clear and round, reaching his ears.
Li Muchan put down the book, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Thank you Master for me, I won't go."
"Why don't you go?" Li Yurong's soft voice spoke again.
Li Muchan said: "Now that I have entered the Mei Mansion and am a disciple of Tianshu Academy, it is not appropriate for me to go to the Dharma assembly anymore."
Li Yurong snorted softly and said: "San'er!...Master still wants you to argue on behalf of Yingyue An!"
"Thank you so much, Master." Li Muchan shook his head.
Li Yurong hurriedly said: "San'er, think again and don't push me away in a hurry!"
One of them was in the kitchen and the other was in the middle of the courtyard. They were far apart but didn't waste time chatting.
Li Muchan just shook his head, picked up the book again, and said with a smile: "I taught my sister-in-law the Tuna Kung Fu."
"Hey, you are so brave!" A white shadow flashed, the breeze blew, and Li Yurong suddenly appeared in front of the bed, wearing an apron, and her jade hands were stained with white noodles.
She frowned: "Privately teaching martial arts is a huge sin!"
"It's not Meifu's martial arts. I learned it. It doesn't matter." Li Muchan said with a smile.
Li Yurong hurriedly said: "San'er, although you are smart, your martial arts is nothing else. It is complex and rigorous. Every mental method is refined over time and has been tried by many people. Even the slightest change will cause trouble! ...
…If the technique is wrong, the consequences will be endless!”
Li Muchan smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, will I harm my sister-in-law?"
"You, you, be careful!" Li Yurong shook his head and sighed, feeling helpless and knowing that he couldn't be persuaded.
She added: "Are they two going to stop making trouble?"
Li Muchan put down the book again and sighed helplessly: "We are still in a stalemate."
"This can't go on like this!" Li Yurong frowned lightly.
Li Muchan said: "The two have different personalities, which is really troublesome!"
Li Yurong hummed softly: "Brother, it's true that as a man, you can't give in to your sister-in-law even a little bit!"
Li Muchan said: "Sigh... if it were another woman, I wouldn't be so fussy about it."
"Why is this?" Li Yurong asked hurriedly.
Li Muchan said: "My sister-in-law is from a high family background, and my eldest brother has a grudge against him... Unless the inner demons are eliminated, it will be difficult for the two of them to be calm and harmonious."
"San'er, you have many ideas, think of a way!" Li Yurong said.
Li Muchan shook his head: "I can think of other things, but the matters between these two people are not clear to outsiders. What ideas can I have?"
In his previous life, his marriage was unhappy and he eventually got divorced. He was extremely bad at dealing with women.
Li Yurong frowned, lightly brushed her hair on her temples, and sighed: "If this continues, the two of us will be separated!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Everyone has his or her own fate, so second sister, you don't have to worry about it."
Although he said this, his mind was spinning and he began to think of solutions.
While he was talking, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded, and Li Zhuzhu, Qin Shi, and Zhao Yiyi came back.
Seeing Li Yurong, Li Zhuzhu snorted and glared at her: "I'm willing to come back!"
"The old man has nothing nice to say!" Ms. Qin rolled her eyes at him, turned around and said with a smile, "Has Yu Rong seen that big guy?"
Li Yurong smiled and asked: "Big guy? Are you Commander Jin?"
"Yes, that's the commander of San'er. Isn't he very fierce?" Qin asked hurriedly.
Li Yurong smiled and said: "I think it's okay, and I'm very good to San'er."
Zhao Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled: "That's right! Mom, you don't believe me!"
Mrs. Qin said with a smile: "Yiyi said that when the two of them are together, San'er looks more like a commander. I don't believe it!"
The family was talking together when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Zhao Yiyi hurriedly turned around to open the door. Because it was dark, they locked the courtyard door directly after they came back.
Zhao Yiyi came back soon, led one person, and said with a smile: "I'm looking for my uncle!"
Li Muchan was startled and then laughed: "Senior Sister Gong?"
