Chapter 24: Ruolan
"Are you Zhanran?" The little round girl glanced him up and down, her bright eyes fell on his bald head, and she nodded: "Come with me, Miss is invited!"
"Miss?" Li Muchan looked at her suspiciously.
Wei Chiming's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "The eldest lady wants to see the fifth junior brother?!"
Xiao Yuanming's eyes widened, he stomped his feet, pointed at Yu Chiming with his little hand, and said coquettishly: "Yu Chiming, you don't talk nonsense with me, get out of the way...... Zhan Ran, come with me, don't keep Miss waiting for a long time!"
"Senior brother......" Li Muchan turned his head to look at Zhao Yuzhen.
He has a very accurate grasp of people's hearts, he has just entered the Mei Mansion, and his foundation is very shallow, and the only thing he can rely on is a few senior brothers, it doesn't matter if his martial arts are stronger than them, it is beneficial and harmless, but he can't forget the order of the elder and the youngest.
Zhao Yuzhen groaned, hugged his fists and smiled gently at Xiao Yuan, and said, "Miss Xiao Yuan, I don't know what the eldest lady has to say to the fifth junior brother?"
Xiao Yuan restrained his anger and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, don't worry, Miss won't eat him!"
Zhao Yuzhen smiled and said: "The fifth junior brother has just arrived, and he doesn't understand any rules, and he still hopes that Miss Xiaoyuan will take care of him or two." ”
Xiao Yuan nodded hurriedly and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't be foolish, it's a good thing...... Zhan Ran, don't rub it off, let's go!"
Zhao Yuzhen smiled at Li Muchan: "Fifth junior brother, go." ”
"Good. Li Muchan nodded and saluted: "Little round girl, please-!"
Xiao Yuan twisted Xiao Man's waist, snorted and walked out, Zhao Yuzhen and He Nanshan sent them out of the Heavenly Courtyard, and watched them go east from a distance, disappearing into the wicker by the lake.
"Senior brother, it doesn't matter, right?" asked Wei Chiming nervously.
Zhao Yuzhen shook his head, slowly withdrew his gaze from a distance, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it may be that the eldest lady is curious about the fifth junior brother, so let's go and meet it." ”
He swept everyone in a blink of an eye, and said in a deep voice: "The fifth junior brother has not been in the school for a long time, and he is already so powerful, how can we, as senior brothers, feel at ease and stay behind, just practice hard!"
"Yes, Senior Brother. The three of them replied solemnly.
Li Muchan and Xiaoyuan walked east along the lake, under the willow trees.
The breeze is gentle, the willow branches are blowing, like fog and smoke.
The surroundings are quiet, with the sound of birdsong, the air fresh and moist, and the sparkling waters of the lake, like countless gems tumbling, too bright to look at.
Xiao Yuan walked in front, his waist was soft and slender, as if turning into a willow branch, blending into the willow branch next to him, and his round buttocks rolled under the thin pink shirt, and the faint fragrance lingered around him, exuding a fatal temptation.
Li Muchan's cultivation of the Heavenly Beings and Gods is quite entered, and the white light on the lotus flower is becoming more and more solid, and ** is also enhanced, especially **, there is a tendency to break the embankment.
Fortunately, he has been practicing for more than ten years, and his meditation is profound, and he has cultivated the concept of impurity and white bones, and his concentration is firm, otherwise he would have been unable to restrain himself.
When he was recuperating at home, he was moved by the beauty of his sister-in-law from time to time, and he couldn't prevent it, and he needed to be restrained from time to time.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, vaguely understanding that this Xiaoyuan was deliberately so flattering, and he was seducing himself!
Taking a deep breath, she forcibly took her eyes off her delicate body, staring at the mirror-like surface of the lake, and visualizing the image of the heavens, men, and gods in her mind.
A picture suddenly appeared, the clear water of the lake, the lotus flowers on the lake were as pure as jade, and a soft white light was suspended on it, beating like a flame.
The sky above was as blue as a wash, a bright moon hung high, and the clear light was sprinkled all over, he only felt that his body was cool, and his desire disappeared and returned to normal.
As soon as his mind moved, he immediately ended his meditation and returned to his place.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't expect that the visualization was successful.
In normal times, we often have to enter the state of concentration and then start contemplating, otherwise, no matter how much we concentrate on it, the picture of the heavens, people, and gods will not appear.
What's hidden in this?
Could it be that because we saw the real lake, we immediately contemplated the lake, so that it was easier to observe the heavens, men, and gods and scriptures?
"Hmph, you brothers have a good relationship, it's like sending you to the execution ground!" he thought about it, and a sweet voice sounded in his ears.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "I offended Miss, so the senior brothers are worried." ”
Xiao Yuanhuo stopped and turned his head to look: "You mean you defeated Sister Gong?"
Li Muchan smiled and nodded.
Xiaoyuan frowned and curled her eyebrows, and said unhappily: "What do you think of Miss...... When the young lady heard the news, instead of being angry, she was happy, saying that it was a good thing to make Sister Gong lower her spirit. ”
Li Muchan was stunned, laughed, shook his head and said: "We are really frogs in the well, our knowledge is too short, Xiaoyuan girl forgive me." ”
"You monk can talk!" Madoka pouted and smiled, the pear nest was shallow, sweet and moving.
She looked at Li Muchan with crooked eyes, turned around on his bald head, and said with a smile: "Zhan Ran, are you really a monk?"
Li Muchan nodded: "Yes, I have received full ordination and have been shaved for ten years. ”
Xiao Yuan took another step, twisted his thin waist, walked in style, his posture became more and more attractive, and said softly: "Then you became a monk at a very young age?"
The two approached unconsciously, Li Muchan's nose was surrounded by her faint body fragrance, and then she looked at her pear nest shallow, sweet and charming, and couldn't help but feel fluttering.
Fortunately, he is now in a calm mind, like being immersed in the water of a lake, just swinging, and immediately regaining calm.
He smiled: "I was poor since I was a child, my father and mother could not afford to raise three children, and I started living in the temple at the age of two. ”
"Alas...... You're a poor person, too. Madoka sighed and softened.
Li Muchan glanced at it, and under the willow branches, she walked in style, frowning and bending her eyebrows thoughtfully, no longer looking like a little pepper before, and becoming sentimental.
He couldn't help but smile to himself, this little round girl has a changeable temperament, which can be described as a stunner.
The two walked east along the edge of the lake, about two miles away, and stopped in front of a small pentagonal pavilion.
Zhu Zhu, carved beams, painting building, this small pavilion is extremely exquisite, and there are three big characters written on the horizontal plaque: Lotus Pavilion.
On both sides of the small pavilion is a lotus pond, dense lotus leaves cover the water surface, several lotus flowers stand in a graceful manner, some goose yellow, some jade white, some light pink, fresh and moving.
The kiosk is led by a cobblestone path to a moon gate.
Xiao Yuan turned around and said, "Zhan Ran, wait a minute, I'll go in and report it." ”
Li Muchan bowed his head, stepped into the lotus pavilion, touched the vermilion pillar, it was actually a stone, and the lotus flowers in the pond were beautiful and moving.
Xiaoyuan followed in and smiled sweetly: "Miss likes to enjoy the flowers here, Zhan Ran, you can also sit down and look at the lotus flowers." ”
With that, he smiled at him again, stepped out of the pavilion and stepped onto the cobblestone path in the middle, and his full and seductive figure disappeared into the moon gate.
Li Muchan retracted her gaze and thought with a smile, her attitude towards herself was changeable, first tempting, then kind, mostly because she was a monk.
Soon, Madoka reappeared, standing in front of the moon gate and beckoning: "Zhan Ran, come quickly." ”
Li Muchan walked over with a smile: "Little round girl, is the eldest lady inside?"
"Yes, Mademoiselle let you pass. Madoka approached him and said with a light smile: "Don't worry, the young lady is very good." ”
Li Muchan smiled and nodded, the fragrance entered his nose, his mind was swinging again, he was busy and restrained, he sighed secretly, the beauty of women is really unguardable.
Stepping into the moon gate, there is a clear small pond in front of you, with a diameter of about two zhang, and there is a rockery next to the pool.
A spring water flows down from the rockery, poured into the small pool, in the center of the pool is a big king lotus, the leaves are like a disc, two water droplets fall on it, crystal clear, such as a jade plate to bear the dew.
To the right of the pond is a hibiscus tree with hibiscus flowers all over the tree.
Madoka leads the way in front with a moving gait.
Follow the cobblestone path around the pond, face east into an elegant garden, and in the garden turn eastward, cross the rockery, go around the bamboo forest, and stop in front of another moon gate.
There are two words written on it: Rest Garden.
These two words are engraved on the bluestone directly above the moon gate, which is easy to ignore, and the font is elegant and elegant, Li Muchan's eyes fell on these two words.
Seeing him like this, Madoka chuckled and said, "These two words were written by Miss with her fingers. ”
Li Muchan looked at it in surprise: "Finger power?"
Xiao Yuan smiled: "Yes, Miss's martial arts are very high." ”
Li Muchan walked all the way, admiring the scenery while feeling strange, the huge garden, there was not a single guard, there was no clear whistle, and there was no dark whistle.
Could it be that the eldest lady is so confident in Meifu that no one can break in?
It turned out that she was strong in martial arts!
Madoka's crisp voice sounded again: "Let's go, Miss is inside." ”
Li Muchan straightened his monk's robe, held the Buddha beads in his left hand, his expression was calm and solemn, and he slowly entered the garden.
As soon as I stepped into the rest garden, what I saw was a plum blossom, sparse and falling, occupying half of the courtyard in the west, and the east side of the courtyard was a small martial arts training ground.
The sidelines are continuous rockeries, imposing, and there is a danger of mountains and rivers.
There is a small pavilion in the rockery, octagonal cornices, like an eagle spreading its wings to fly.
Walking through the plum blossom forest, Li Muchan saw the sword light flickering on the martial arts training ground, and the clear light swayed, as if a clear spring was sparkling in the sun, which was dizzying.
Li Muchan's facial features are keen, and he can see the slender figure in the sword light, but it is Gong Qingyun.
There was a woman in a purple shirt standing quietly on the sidelines, with her back to this side, her hands on her shoulders and motionless, only her clothes fluttering.
Li Muchan took a look, she was graceful, slender, and her back was extremely beautiful, but she didn't see her true face, and she already thought that this was a beauty.
Xiao Yuan said: "Miss, Zhan Ran is here." ”
Gong Qingyun's sword was stunned, the light was clear, and the sword was returned to the sheath.
She frowned and looked at this side, clenched her fists and said, "Miss, I'll go back first!"
"Well, go ahead. The woman in the purple shirt bowed her head lightly, and her voice was as clear as a cold spring.
Gong Qingyun's figure was like a white cloud, and he swept past Li Muchan head-on, his clear eyes turned on his face, he snorted coldly, and disappeared.
The faint fragrance lingered, Li Muchan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The purple-shirted girl turned around, a confused gaze fell on him, and said lightly, "You are Master Zhanran?"
"The little monk is clear. "Li Muchan tithes.
He smiled in his heart, but he didn't feel disappointed, this eldest lady has an extremely beautiful appearance, and among the women he has seen, only the second sister can be compared.
Melon seed face, sharp chin, cherry mouth, beautiful nose, eyebrows and temples, a pair of eyes are extremely beautiful, like fog and smoke, blurry and changeable, as if to suck people's minds in.
"I'm Meroran. The purple-shirted girl titheed, stretched out her hand and pointed obliquely at the small pavilion on the rockery, and said lightly: "Master Zhanran, let's go over and sit and talk." ”
Li Muchan bowed his head, and the three of them went up the rockery and entered the small pavilion.
He didn't expect that this eldest lady was so polite to himself, a little more polite than Xiaoyuan, he was strange in his heart, his face did not move, and he slowly looked around.
Looking at it up close, the pavilion has faded color, and there are traces of the passage of time everywhere, revealing a vicissitudes of life.
Standing here, you can look down on the entire Mei Mansion, the Ming Lake in the distance is like a mirror, and the willow branches are like the borders of the mirror.
In the center of the pavilion is a stone table, polished to a bright surface.
Mei Ruolan sat down elegantly, took the teacup handed by Xiaoyuan, and asked lightly: "Master Zhan Ran is the younger brother of Deacon Li or the abbot of Chengjing Temple, why did he enter the mansion?"
Li Muchan sat opposite, took the teacup, smiled at Xiaoyuan, turned his head and said, "I heard that there is a King Kong not bad magic skill in Meifu, which is a Buddhist miracle." ”
Mei Ruolan took a sip of fragrant tea, put down the teacup elegantly, and said lightly: "Commander Jin asked me for this mental method, but I didn't agree." ”
Li Muchan put down the teacup and looked at her with a smile.
Mei Ruolan said: "Although this mental method is powerful, it can be difficult to cultivate, and since the previous dynasty Huiguo Divine Monk created this method, no one has practiced it. ”
"I want to give it a try. Li Mu said.
Mei Ruolan's confused gaze turned outside his face, and said: "Over the years, there has been no shortage of amazing and brilliant people in the Mei Mansion, whose qualifications are not inferior to yours, and they have also tried to cultivate this skill, but none of them have succeeded. ”
Without waiting for Li Muchan to say more, she continued: "However, since you have such talent, it doesn't hurt to try." ”
"Thank you, Miss. "Li Muchan tithes.
Mei Ruolan shook her head lightly: "You don't have to thank me, Master Zhan Ran is a member of Buddhism, and King Kong is not bad and is a Buddhist wonder, maybe there will be a turnaround,...... If this unique discipline can be revived, it will also be beneficial to Meifu. ”
She took out a plain white post from her bosom and put it on the table: "This is an invitation from the Snow Seal Shenni, inviting Master Zhan Ran to participate in the Moon Reflecting Festival on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month. ”
Li Muchan frowned, not wanting Xueyin Shenni to send the invitation here.
He shook his head and said, "Miss, I won't go." ”
"Oh-?" Mei Ruolan was stunned, broke the light wind of the clouds, and looked at him carefully, her bright eyes flickered, becoming more and more blurry and moving, like a dream.
After a while, she returned to normal and said lightly: "The Moon Reflecting Festival is a major event in Buddhism, with far-reaching influence, and all the invitees are all eminent monks, Master Zhan Ran, you are so young, it is a great honor to be invited!"
Li Muchan smiled slightly and did not speak.
He naturally understands the importance of the Moon Reflection Festival, and once he participates, he will become famous all over the world.
But he doesn't value these now, he just wants to practice martial arts well, have the power of self-preservation, and be able to live freely in the world.
He often discusses the law with Xueyin Shenni, and the two have been arguing through Li Yurong for more than ten years, and they are inseparable.
In his previous life, he majored in philosophy at university, and during his studies, he devoted himself to the study of philosophy and came into contact with various schools of philosophy, which opened his eyes.
In his eyes, Buddhism itself is also a philosophy, and in this era, in terms of the breadth of vision, even the great virtues of Buddhism are difficult to compare with him.
In the eyes of Xueyin Shenni, he has a transcendent state of mind, profound Zen skills, and great wisdom, which can really be described as a high monk.
Seeing him smile indifferently, Mei Ruolan frowned and nodded slowly: "It's okay, you don't want to go, and I won't force it." ”
"Thank you, Miss. "Li Muchan tithes.
Mei Ruolan waved her hand gently, signaling that she didn't need to be polite, and suddenly showed a smile: "Qingyun said that you are very fast with a sword, and you have the power of galloping, I want to see a thing or two." ”
ps: It seems that I can make two changes today, although Sanjiang recommended it, but the effect is not good, the ticket is not very long, a little doubtful of myself, is it too poorly written?
