Li Muchan carried the monk on his back, went straight through the courtyard, and arrived at a meditation room, which was simply furnished, with a bed, a table, and a stool, and a folded futon on the bed, which was clean and tidy.

Li Muchan first put the wooden box on the table, then leaned over and gently put him down, and slowly lay him down on the cloud bed: "Monk, this is my room, if it's not too simple, let's live here for the time being!"

The old monk struggled to get up, sat down, and said, "Thank you, you haven't asked the little master for the Dharma name?"

Although his face was covered with abscesses, his voice was calm, unhurried, and exuded a peaceful charm.

Li Muchan tithes: "The little monk's name is Zhanran." ”

"Master Zhan Ran, the old man is empty, there is a disturbance. The old monk said solemnly.

Li Muchan said: "Master Jikong doesn't have to be polite, and treat this place as his home, I am the only one in the temple, I usually live at home at the foot of the mountain, and occasionally come here to retreat." ”

The old monk Jikong nodded, feeling a little sleepy.

Li Muchan opened the wooden box and brought out two plates of vegetarian dishes: "I have something to do today, I can't stay longer, the master will just take a moment, feel free." ”

After a few words with the old monk Jikong, he picked up the wooden box and went out.

He walked out of Chengjing Temple, went to the back mountain, entered a small valley, stepped on the weeds and walked deeply, walked a hundred meters, and a small waterhole appeared in front of him.

The waterhole is located on the slope of the valley, on the steep halfway up the mountain, surrounded by stones in a circle, four or five meters in diameter, but the length of two bathtubs in modern times.

The water of the pool is clear, the bottom can be seen clearly, the swimming fish, stones, and fine sand are clearly visible, and there is a faint white mist floating on the water surface, as if a layer of white yarn is swept with the wind.

He put the wooden box and a bag he took from the temple, and in three or two strokes, he removed his clothes, revealing his well-proportioned body, and jumped into the waterhole, and immediately showed an intoxicated expression.

This is a hot spring, which he discovered when he was eleven years old, and the valley is already remote, and the waterhole is halfway up the valley, and it is so steep that it is difficult for others to notice.

Every time you are tired, come here to take a soak and the fatigue will disappear.

Far from all the modern pleasures, he was satisfied to be able to come here to soak in the hot springs.

This time, it was not for enjoyment, although he saved the old monk, he was afraid of some kind of contagious disease, so he came here to wash it first and then go back, so as not to infect his family.

After an hour, he came out, steaming all over his body, opened his baggage and changed into new clothes, carried the wooden box down the mountain, and returned to Lijia Village.

Li Muchan's house is three large tile houses as the main house, a few side rooms, quite magnificent, although not as good as the big landlord Zhao family in the village, but it is also one of the best.

Li Mufeng is a deputy deacon in Meifu, with a monthly silver of twenty taels, Li Muchan chops firewood, every time he enters the city, he carries firewood like a hill, one person is worth four or five strong men, and he earns a lot of money, and he is no longer embarrassed at the beginning.

*******************************

Before he got home, he saw a middle-aged beautiful woman standing at the door from a distance, in her forties, with a slender figure, a beautiful face, and still charm, and it could be seen that when she was young, she must have been a stunning beauty.

"Mother!" Li Muchan greeted, strode over, and smiled on his serious and rigid face.

When the middle-aged beauty saw him, she smiled and took a few steps, took the wooden box, and glanced at him: "What did you do, just come back!"

Li Muchan seemed to be a different person, put aside the silence, stretched out his arms to hug her, and said with a smile: "It's a little delayed, but the second sister is back?"

The middle-aged beautiful woman patted him on the shoulder, opened his hand, smiled brightly, and said "I'm back early!

Li Muchan smiled: "The second sister can be counted out of the customs, has it been a month?"

As he spoke, he hugged the waist of the middle-aged beauty and walked in, looking intimate.

When I entered the courtyard, I was faced with a wall, painting the moon shining on the river.

Turn around, the east side of the yard is the flower garden, accounting for more than half, all kinds of flowers compete to open, compete for the odds, the west side is the green bamboo forest, Xiao Xiao is squirming, the middle of the courtyard is paved with green bricks, clean and tidy.

An old man in his fifties was holding scissors, bending down to prune flower branches, his expression was focused and serious, he heard the sound of footsteps, turned his head to look over, his face was square, and his expression was serious.

Seeing Li Muchan come in with a middle-aged beautiful woman in his arms, he straightened his waist, put his hands behind his back, glared at Li Muchan, and hummed with a straight face: "Are you willing to come back?!"

"Daddy. Li Muchan said with a smile.

The middle-aged beauty tugged at his sleeve: "Don't worry about this old man, go in and rest!"

As he spoke, he pulled Li Muchan into the house, and the old man put his hands behind his back and shook his head: "How a loving mother is a loser!"

After he sighed, he picked up the scissors again, and then bent down to trim the branches, looking intent.

As soon as I entered the main house, a faint fragrance came, and a soft voice sounded: "San'er!"

A girl in white appeared in front of Li Muchan, with her hair and shawl, her skin was like cream, her face was soft, and she didn't get a little bit of fireworks, like a fairy.

She is about the same height as Li Muchan, wearing a moon-white monk's robe, wide and wide, covering her delicate curves, but her temperament is becoming more and more dusty, like a pavilion lotus, and the whole room seems to be illuminated by her appearance.

"Second sister!" Li Muchan looked her up and down, sniffed the faint fragrance, and said with a smile: "The second sister's demeanor is better than in the past, it seems that her cultivation has made great progress!"

"It's okay," the feminine girl smiled.

The middle-aged beauty smiled and said, "Yurong, San'er, you sisters and brothers are talking, I'll go and heat up the dishes!"

With that, he went out with a wooden box.

******************************************

On the north wall of the house, hang a picture of the pine crane extending the years, below is a table of eight immortals, two Taishi chairs, two Taishi chairs to the south and left, and the middle of the Taishi chair is a dark pattern coffee table, a big family style.

The two sat on the two Taishi chairs on the east side, leaned forward, and came together.

"San'er, I heard my mother say that the eldest brother and sister-in-law quarreled again?" the soft girl Li Yurong sighed lightly.

Li Muchan nodded: "Well, the eldest brother hasn't come back for another month." ”

"The two of them......" Li Yurong shook her head.

"The husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed and close the end of the bed, the second sister doesn't have to worry. Li Muchan said with a smile.

"I see, the two of them don't agree!" Li Yurong sighed and shook her head: "By the way, before I come, Master has something to bring to you." ”

"Oh-?" Li Muchan's eyes lit up.

Li Yurong pursed her lips and smiled: "Master said, your meditation kung fu has entered the root Zen, out of the realm of desire, and into the realm of color, which is gratifying." ”

Li Muchan smiled, looking at her soft face, the two were very close, her skin was like jade, and the glow was faint, which was a sign that Neili had entered the house.

"Master has a lot of praise for you, saying that you have no one to guide you, and you can get out of the realm of desire and reach the realm of first Zen when you cultivate alone, which is really a wise person, not a mortal, and must be the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. Li Yurong chuckled.

Li Muchan laughed, but his heart was awe-inspiring, this Snow Seal God and Ni Dao Xing is really powerful, although he is not a Bodhisattva, he is reincarnated, and this biggest secret has never been revealed.

Once a person has a secret, he will be deep and mature, and his current mentality is a little more mature than his thirty-five-year-old self.

"What else did Mrs. Shi say?" asked Li Muchan with a smile.

Li Yurong said with a straight face: "Master said, you should not cultivate alone, when you reach the first Zen realm, if you cultivate further, there are many illusions, countless yin demons, and there will be danger if you are not careful." ”

"Hmm......" Li Muchan groaned and nodded: "I feel the same way." ”

Li Yurong's slender eyebrows furrowed: "Alas...... It's a pity that Master doesn't accept male disciples!"

"I'm not blessed enough, so I'm helpless!" Li Muchan smiled and nodded.

"You're still laughing!" Li Yurong glanced at him, pursed her lips and smiled: "Master said that she can introduce you to the Great Guangming Temple and to Master Xuanguang." ”

Li Muchan shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness,...... I want to enter the Mei Mansion. ”

"Into the Mei Mansion?!" Li Yurong was puzzled, frowned and said, "What are you doing in the Mei Mansion?...... Although the Mei family is a big family, can you serve people according to your surname?"

When it comes to understanding the younger brother, he should be the first, the eldest brother and his parents are inferior to him, the younger brother is really a peerless genius who was born to know, and his heart is also arrogant, but he is covered by a gentle and quiet appearance.

If it weren't for the younger brother, it would be impossible for him to worship under the master, the master is a number of gods and nuns in the universe, and his status is respected, and he is the Taishou of Jinyang City, and he must also bow and see him.

Li Muchan said: "I heard my eldest brother say that there is a peerless school in Meifu, called King Kong is not bad. ”

"King Kong is not bad?" Li Yurong thought for a while, thought about it, and said slowly: "It seems that I have heard the master comment on this kung fu......"

"What did Mrs. Shi say?" Li Muchan asked with a smile.

Li Yurong pondered for a moment and said: "It seems to be the martial arts left by the previous dynasty, and it is the technique of golden body to overcome misfortune, but except for the Huiguo Divine Monk who created this skill at the beginning, it seems that no one has practiced it for hundreds of years,...... Mei Mansion actually has this magic skill?"

Li Muchan nodded: "Big brother will never lie to me." ”

"But this kung fu is extremely difficult to practice!" Li Yurong frowned and shook her head: "Master said that it is difficult to practice, so it can be seen that it is difficult,...... Besides, for hundreds of years, there has been no shortage of amazing talents, and no one can practice it. ”

"Always give it a try. Li Muchan smiled.

"Alas...... , you, you, you're proud!" Li Yurong stared at him for a long time, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, I can't persuade you, in short, if it doesn't work, leave the Mei Mansion and worship under Master Xuanguang!"

Li Muchan nodded in agreement.

********************************************

Footsteps sounded, and a slender woman came in, with blue and floral clothes, a snow-white melon seed face, a small cherry mouth, a straight nose, bright eyes, and a beautiful temperament.

She smiled softly at the two: "Uncle, Yurong, let's eat." ”

"Sister-in-law, come and sit!" Li Yurong got up, pulled her over, pressed her to her seat, and said in a low voice: "Big brother is making trouble again?"

"No. She shook her head and smiled reluctantly.

Li Muchan glanced at her Chu Chu and moved face, and secretly sighed.

The eldest brother is really strange, such a delicate and moving wife, instead of cherishing it, often makes awkward trouble, never comes back, and snubs her.

The sister-in-law's name is Zhao Yiyi, the daughter of Zhao Laocai, a large landowner in the village, and she can be described as Miss Qianjinjiao.

I think that at the beginning, my sister-in-law ignored the opposition of the family, and she wanted to marry the eldest brother alive or dead, and there was a lot of trouble, I never thought that there would be an ending today, right?

"Big brother is really ......!" Li Yurong said hatefully, comforting softly: "Don't worry about him, he will come back obediently sooner or later!"

"Sister-in-law, let's have dinner!" Li Muchan said.

"Okay, uncle!" Zhao Yiyi hurriedly agreed, got up and walked out quickly, as if escaping.

Li Muchan leaned over and said in a low voice: "Second sister, you, don't you know!"

"Big brother is really excessive!" Li Yurong said angrily.

Li Muchan waved his hand: "It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and the affairs of the husband and wife are intelligible to outsiders, just pretend not to see it." ”

Li Yurong glanced at him: "You kid, you are old-fashioned, as if you understand everything, is there a woman?!"

Second sister Mo Hu said. Li Muchan smiled, got up to greet the door, and took the wooden plate in Zhao Yiyi's hand.

There are two plates of vegetarian dishes on the wooden plate, mushroom juice tofu, lotus root fungus, bright color, fragrant aroma, it can be said that the color and fragrance are complete, making people salivate.

Li Yurong stepped forward to help, put the dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals in the east, and said with a smile: "San'er, these are from the Transcendent Building?"

Zhao Yiyi smiled and nodded: "It was the uncle who brought it back from Chaoran Building, I can't be so good-looking." ”

Li Yurong said: "Sister-in-law, your craftsmanship is already excellent...... There are a few restaurants in the city, so the dishes of Chaoran Building can enter his eyes, and there is also a sister-in-law you make. ”

Li Muchan nodded: "Well, my sister-in-law's cooking skills are not inferior to the second sister." ”

"I wasn't forced out by you?!" Li Yurong glanced at him.

Li Muchan smiled, went out to help serve the food, and after a while, his parents also came in, and the family sat together and began to eat.

************************************************

It rained the next day, and Li Muchan said a word and went to Aishan.

As soon as he left the house, his expression was calm and serious, and he changed with a different person, with an axe pinned to his waist and a rope wrapped around him, and walked casually.

Because of the rain, the people in the village were lying at home and couldn't come out, so he didn't meet anyone and went straight to Aishan.

Aishan was steep and high, and on such a rainy day, the mountain road would soon become slippery, and he walked on the ground, thinking about it as he went.

King Kong is not bad, he wants to cultivate, but he is influenced by the afterlife.

In later generations, when he was a child, martial arts novels were all the rage, he had read a lot, and like other men, he also had a martial arts dream.

When he came to this world, he realized the danger of this martial arts world, although being a monk can minimize the danger, but since the last time he met the robbers, he understands a truth, if you want to live freely, Buddhism can't do it, you still have to practice martial arts.

Occasionally, I heard the eldest brother say that the most powerful martial arts in Meifu was King Kong's incorruptible magic skill, and he was thrilled.

In later generations, he read martial arts novels, and was deeply impressed by Shaolin's King Kong not bad magic skills, and was quite fascinated, although he knew that the two worlds were different, this King Kong was not bad magic and not the other King Kong was not bad magic skills, and he was still itching.

Going up the mountain road, he did not go to Chengjing Temple, but to the valley behind the temple.

When we reached the end of the valley, we stopped in front of the mountain wall, and opened a field of green vines, revealing a hole that was a man high.

After entering, there was a circular stone chamber, quite wide, from the entrance of the cave to the innermost ten meters, he lit a torch, illuminated the cave.

The cave was empty, except for a rudimentary wooden bed with nothing on it, and a black iron rod with a row of throwing knives stuck in it.

The iron rod is as thick as a baby's arm and one arm long, more like an iron pestle.

More than a dozen flying knives were inserted on the bed, shining in the firelight, and each throwing knife was at the same distance, neat and uniform, and it was very good-looking.
