Chapter 622 First Meeting

Early that morning, Li Muchan was practicing with Mingyue, instructing her in swordsmanship, and Fang Huaiyi came to visit in person.

Li Muchan met him in the small pavilion.

Since the last time he rejected the uncle, Li Muchan has not left the courtyard once, living in a simple house, not showing up, and has become more and more low-key.

Fang Huaiyi was so busy that he didn't have time to come over, and today was the first time.

"Alas...... , Xue Fei Niangniang is finally coming. Fang Huaiyi put down the teacup, sighed heavily, and said apologetically: "I have snubbed Mr. for a while, Mr. Don't be surprised." ”

Li Muchan said with a smile: "The second master doesn't have to be polite, I'm an idle eater, no one cares about it best, the second master has worked hard for a while." ”

Fang Huaiyi shook his head and smiled: "It's not hard work, Concubine Xue can come back, I'm happy no matter how busy I am." ”

Li Muchan smiled: "The second master is also called Niangniang?"

"Although I am her brother, the order of the eldest and youngest is at the back of the court, and I should be called Niangniang. Fang Huaiyi said.

Li Muchan shook his head and smiled: "How long has it been since Niangniang came back?"

"Since entering the palace at the age of sixteen, it has been five years, this is the first time I have come back, and I have received the grace of God. Fang Huaiyi said.

Li Muchan sighed: "Glory and wealth, but there are no relatives by the side, like a brocade at night,...... Second Master didn't think about moving the Fang Mansion to Jingshi?"

"How easy is it?" Fang Huaiyi shook his head and sighed: "We have deep roots here, once we go to Jingshi, we are not familiar with the place, and we have no foundation, there are many relatives of the emperor and the country, and no one can afford to offend, but instead cause trouble for the little sister, it is better to stay here honestly." ”

Li Muchan said: "There are people in the Beijing Division, and they can also talk about the pain of Concubine Xue's homesickness." ”

"We bought a few houses in Jingshi, and my eldest brother or I have to go and live for a while every year, one is to see my little sister, and the other is to take care of Jingshi's shop. Fang Huaiyi said.

"It's for the best. Li Muchan nodded and said with a smile: "Jingshi's business is easy to do, right? ”

"Where is it so easy, there are too many joints to be opened, and there is a shadow of a big man behind every store, no one can afford to offend. Fang Huaiyi shook his head.

The two gossiped some more, and he said: "The eldest brother's temper is a little anxious, but he has no bad intentions, and it is not strange to offend Mr. Place." ”

Li Muchan said with a smile: "How dare I offend the uncle, but well, I have a strange temper, I am afraid that I will inadvertently offend the uncle." ”

"Hehe, in short, for my sake, Mr. will take care of one or two. Fang Huaiyi said apologetically.

Li Muchan smiled: "The second master is polite." ”

Seeing him like this, Fang Huaiyi scratched his head in his heart, obviously this Mr. Li is not easy to get along with, if the eldest brother continues to make trouble, it will be a needle-to-needle battle against Mai Mang.

"Sir, I have come today to ask for something. He laughs.

"The second master just commanded. Li Mu said.

Fang Huaiyi said: "When the Snow Concubine Niangniang enters the city, I want to ask Mr. and the other nine worshippers to help, responsible for protecting the Snow Concubine Niangniang's phoenix drive." ”

Li Muchan said: "Concubine Xue has no guards?"

"There are a hundred Divine Sect Guards with you. Fang Huaiyi said.

Li Muchan shook his head: "Shenzong Wei has always been domineering, and he will not allow others to help, but will blame us for interfering with them. ”

"I'll talk to them. Fang Huaiyi said.

Li Muchan nodded in a deep voice: "I naturally want to help, but I'm afraid that the second master will hit a wall, and Shenzong Wei may not even listen to Niangniang's words." ”

"No, it won't. Fang Huaiyi said.

Li Muchan smiled: "It's okay for the second master to try it, even if they hit a wall, they don't have to be angry, they are directly responsible to the saint, once something happens, their lives are not guaranteed, how dare they sell their favors at will." ”

"That's ......" Fang Huaiyi nodded abruptly and sighed: "I don't know anything about these royal tricks, but fortunately, Mr. is still pointing out." ”

Li Muchan frowned and said, "Uncle has stayed in Jingshi, he should understand this, right?"

"Hehe, the eldest brother may have forgotten to say it. Fang Huaiyi said with a smile.

Li Muchan shook his head and stopped talking, obviously the uncle was going to see his liveliness, and deliberately didn't say anything, it seems that the two are not so harmonious in secret.

He smiled and said, "Second Master, go and try it." ”

"Okay, I'll go over right away, Divine Zongwei has already arrived. Fang Huaiyi nodded.

He hurriedly said goodbye and left the small courtyard, Li Muchan saw him off, the scene of his quarrel with Fang Huairen Li Muchan was very good in his eyes, but well, although the uncle has an Achilles heel, he is more vicious, and the second master is afraid that he can't fight him.

Li Muchan had already figured out that it was the uncle who dealt with the disciples of Xinghu Xiaozhu, and the cause of the incident was just a trivial matter, and he suffered a little loss, so he secretly retaliated. , Xinghu Xiaozhu's enemy is his enemy, how can Xinghu Xiaozhu's disciples be so easy to clean up! This Fang Huairen has to learn a little lesson.

He thought of a way, better than killing him, knowing the mystery of life and death, he understood that killing people is the worst way, it is better not to kill people until the last resort, and the pleasure is happy, but the gains outweigh the losses.

The best way is to help Fang Huaiyi take his position and make him suffer for the rest of his life, it is better than killing him, without Fang Mansion to rely on, he has no ability to deal with Xinghu Xiaozhu at all.

Half an hour later, Fang Huaiyi came in a hurry, with a smile on his face: "Sir, it's done!"

Li Muchan smiled: "They agreed?"

"It's good to say, I finally agreed!" Fang Huaiyi said excitedly.

"Alright, let's go. Li Muchan got up, turned his head and ordered: "Mingyue, you come with me." ”

"Yes, Master. Mingyue said, Fang Huaiyi looked at her.

Li Muchan said with a smile: "I'll take my disciples with me, and let her see it, the second master can rest assured, he won't delay things." ”

"Hehe, I'm naturally relieved sir. Fang Huaiyi said with a smile: "I'm afraid that if something really happens, it will affect Master Mingyue." ”

"The second master is too worried, she still has the ability to protect herself. Li Muchan said with a smile.

The two of them left the small courtyard, and when they arrived at the north hall, the other nine people had already arrived, including Huang Zongrao, who also came out, Li Muchan glanced at him, Huang Zongrao's eyes were blazing, but there was no previous jīng light, returning to the basics, obviously cultivating to a higher level.

Li Muchan smiled and hugged his fists at him: "Congratulations to Senior Huang." ”

Huang Zongrao clenched his fists and smiled, and said slowly: "Hehe...... , It's not a big deal, although you are now in the first floor, you are still far behind Mr. Li!"

Li Muchan shook his head, Fang Huaiyi appeared with a long paper tube under his arm, and said loudly: "Everyone, let's divide Bailing City into ten places, one for each person, please see." ”

He bent down and put the paper tube on a table of eight immortals in the middle, and spread it out, there was a drawing, on which was a top view of Bailing City, marked with eight directions, and two more directions in the air.

"Everyone, let's start here, follow the phoenix and go inside, this is all directions, let's each chōu one. He pointed to the picture.

Then he took out a handful of paper balls from his arms and threw them on the table: "Let's pick one at random." ”

Li Muchan pointed, Mingyue stepped forward and picked up a paper drawing, opened one, and wrote the word "nine", which was a pair with the picture, and was responsible for the eastern sky.

The ninth and tenth positions are each responsible for the east and west, such as the two wings of the bird, and Li Muchan is the east.

Fang Huaiyi said: "Concubine Xue has the Divine Sect Guard by her side, and there are some forbidden palace masters, what we have to do is to defend the outer layer to prevent the invasion of martial arts figures." ”

Xiang Lei said in a deep voice: "Second master, don't worry, we won't lose face." ”

"Everything is up to you!" Fang Huaiyi said solemnly, clenching his fists.

Everyone smiled and clenched their fists, even saying that they didn't have to be polite.

Li Muchan took Mingyue out of Fangfu, the atmosphere in the city was tense, and the east and west streets were full of guards, all with their chests held high, full of spirit.

The two guards were three paces apart, all the way from the outside of the Fang Mansion to the Jiāo fork in the east, each holding a long stick and a sword at his waist, with an awe-inspiring atmosphere.

Li Muchan and the others went out of Fangfu, went straight to the east, walked a mile away, turned south at the fork, and the north and south streets led directly to the south of the city, all of which were guarded by soldiers, standing in two rows on both sides of the street.

In addition to the soldiers, it is the people in the city, they all flock together to watch the excitement, and the common people will never see the princess in their lives, and they are unattainable.

Li Muchan pulled Mingyue and floated onto the roof of a room, sat on the ridge of the room and looked around, a gust of wind blew, cold and dry, rare good weather.

Mingyue monk's robe was fluttering, his skin was like snow, and he said, "Master, will this snow concubine really come?"

Li Muchan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How do you say this?"

Mingyue said: "If I were Concubine Xue, I would come over secretly, and I would not follow the team, and no matter how strict the protection was, there would be leaks." ”

Li Muchan smiled: "Yes, you can think of this, it's rare." ”

Mingyue said with a smile: "Master, I also often read history books and know some strategies. ”

Li Muchan said with a smile: "It's a good thing to learn to use your brain, but it's really uncertain, it's really imaginary, it's virtual, it's real, it's a thought,...... We don't understand the xìng character of this snow concubine, so we can't say for sure, we can only take it as true. ”

"Master is saying that if you want to understand other people's schemes, you must first know his xìng style, right?" Mingyue said.

Li Muchan nodded: "The son can be taught!"

The master and apprentice were talking, when suddenly the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded outside the city, making a lot of noise and a festive atmosphere. , Li Muchan said: "It's here." ”

The sound of gongs and drums is gradual, the city is wide open, and a group of soldiers holding high the guard of honor come first, with colorful flags and banners, pennant curtains, and dàng floating in the wind.

They were followed by a group of knights, fifty men, dressed in silver armor, riding white horses, spotless, armed with spears, the tips of which shimmered with coldness.

This group of knights was full of energy, their eyes were as sharp as the tip of a spear, and they could pierce people from front to back, and when they glanced over, the crowd watching the excitement next to them bowed their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at him.

They rode on their horses and swept to Li Muchan, Li Muchan turned his gaze and did not look at him, and looking at him in such a situation was a sign of hostility.

Li Muchan secretly thought, seeing that they were full of awe-inspiring spirits, obviously they had all experienced battlefield fighting, these people's martial arts did not know how, but they were extremely sensitive to murderous aura, and they were indeed the best candidates for guards.

They were followed by a group of black-shirted knights, about fifty or so, with solemn faces, and no guns in their hands, only long swords.

They walked slowly around a phoenix, there were a few people walking around the phoenix, four beautiful maids, two old men in brocade clothes, one with a white face and no beard, white and fat, and one with a dark face and a thin body.

Mingyue said: "Master, the one inside the phoenix is Concubine Xue, right, those two people are eunuchs?"

She has only heard of eunuchs, but she has never seen them, and they are really a little different from ordinary people, they look no different, just cleaner, the key is temperament, which is different from ordinary people, but they can't tell where the difference is.

Li Muchan said: "Yes, don't underestimate them, the eunuch struggle in the palace is even more cruel, and those who can stay by Concubine Xue's side are by no means idle people, well, that person is so powerful!"

Li Muchan saw an acquaintance, amiable and amiable, who was the white father-in-law, who he saved and gave him a tiger brand.

Li Muchan didn't expect to meet him here, so it seems that his master is Concubine Xue.

The other black-faced old eunuch beside him cultivated extremely deeply, and he felt that he couldn't see through it, so he couldn't help but look at it twice, and immediately attracted the attention of the other party.

The black-faced old man looked up, and his eyes burst out with two jīng rays, straight to him.

Li Muchan squinted his eyes slightly, smiled without changing his face, and turned his head to look at Bai Gonggong, Bai Gonggong also seemed to have senses, he looked up, and suddenly showed a surprised smile.

Li Muchan beckoned, and shook his head again, Bai Gonggong is an extremely smart and clever person, and when he saw this, he immediately understood what he meant, and nodded.

"Mr. Bai, do you recognize him?" said the black-faced old man.

Father-in-law Bai said with a smile: "Our family's life-saving benefactor is really a coincidence, and the fate is not shallow,...... General Hong, don't make a move on others. ”

"This person's cultivation is really good, I won't humiliate myself, as long as he doesn't provoke his mother. The black-faced old man said in a deep voice.

At this moment, a person flew out of a restaurant opposite and rushed towards Feng Yuan in the air.

"Hmph!" In the cold snort like thunder, another figure flew out, and the latter hit this person first, folded in the air, and floated back to the roof of a room in the west, but it was Xiang Lei behind the figure.

Li Muchan is in charge of the east wing, and Xiang Lei is in charge of the west wing.

The guards below were not at all, as if nothing had happened, Xiang Lei threw the person in his hand and disappeared again.

He acted differently from Li Muchan, Li Muchan was sitting on the roof and watching, as if watching the excitement, but he hid in the shadows, and a thunderous blow appeared at any time, full of deterrence.

Li Muchan pulled Mingyue, followed Feng Yuan to the north, and then turned west, heading to Fangfu, and then went down without twists and turns, and there were no assassins.

In the end, a vigorous entry into the city ended, Li Muchan and Mingyue returned to the small courtyard, and the Fang Mansion was surrounded by soldiers in two circles, as if surrounded.

After Li Muchan returned to the small courtyard, Sang Niang and the others gathered around him to ask him to tell him what had happened, but they couldn't go out to join in the fun, and they were very annoyed.

After Mingyue spoke a few words, she didn't feel good about it, and thought it would be more lively, but she didn't expect it to just pass by in a hurry.

Li Muchan thought, when Concubine Xue came, the Fang Mansion would also be quiet for a while, everything had to be put aside, and she would receive Concubine Xue specially, and she would have nothing to do with herself, just concentrate on cultivation.

That night, he had dinner, played with Zhu NV in the back pavilion for a while, listened to them sing and dance, and pointed out Mingyue's martial arts by the way, until midnight, Mingyue was shining, and then returned to his house.

He blew out the lamp, sat down on the couch, took out a package from the bedside, and untied it to reveal a black Buddha with a strange shape.

This black Buddha has an ugly appearance, a horizontal face, eyes open and fierce, and the whole person is like a fierce god, without the slightest peace of Buddhism. , he sat cross-legged on a flame, flames flying around him, and there was also a flame at the center of his eyebrows, like a burning eye.

In addition, there is nothing else, and there is a strange handprint on both hands, which Li Muchan has never seen.

He stared at it for a long time, imprinted it in his mind, and then pressed the Buddha statue with both hands, slowly exercised, and the surroundings became hot, and after a long time, he gently twisted and rubbed his hands, and the black Buddha suddenly became a ball of black iron.

The mystery of this black Buddha is very difficult for people to discover, and they often think that in the Buddha's body, looking for it is in vain, and no one will think of contemplating it.

At the beginning, the Black Buddha, he also watched intently, groped around, spent a lot of effort, and inadvertently tried occasionally when practicing the scriptures of the heavens, men and gods, and succeeded.

In the end, with that Black Buddha, he formed a relic, so that he could have achieved today, otherwise, he would have been able to reach this point with his own qualifications.

The material of this casting black Buddha is strange, like iron not iron, like stone not stone, but it is extremely hard, if it is not for his internal force jīng pure, to the rigid to the yang, it is difficult to deform.

He tossed the black iron into the corner and began to visualize.

A boundless void was formed in his mind, and a black man slowly appeared in the void, with a face full of horizontal ròu, and his eyes were fierce, and then he visualized the flames under his feet, more and more flames, he sat down slowly, and a flame slowly floated to the top of his head, condensed at the center of his eyebrows, but then dispersed.

He frowned, no matter how much he contemplated it, it was difficult for flames to appear in the center of his eyebrows, and at first they condensed, but soon dissipated, and he could only wander around his body.

Li Muchan slowly opened his eyes, frowning and pondering.

After a long time, he closed his eyes again, and a void appeared in his mind, this time the black man became himself, and flames came out from his feet, and the flames were raging, he slowly sat up, but before he could sit firmly, he burned up, and suddenly his body turned into ashes, and the void shattered.

He reluctantly withdrew from the visualization, thought for a long time, but did not understand the essentials, he was dizzy for a while, the energy consumption was too heavy, he was such a strong jīng god, it was rare for him to have such a situation.

Don't think about anything else, drowsy, his mind can't move, he enters the Heaven-Watching People and Gods Sutra, and the moonlight and the sun are sprinkled together, and it is cool.

Unconsciously, he woke up suddenly, the room was bright, the sunlight reflected on the window, reflecting the room bright and soft, he looked at the shadow of the Xuan case, it was already half of the morning.

He looked back at himself, and his spirit was full and refreshed, not only returning to normal, but even better.

At this time, he had the god jīng to recall the previous situation, why he couldn't visualize the flame in the center of his eyebrows, but when he visualized himself, he couldn't stand the flame at all, and burned directly to ashes.

He thought about it, it was the jīng god who was too strong, but the body was not strong enough, so he couldn't bear it.

When he was exercising, the Sanyang True Solution actually entered the realm, and the internal force became more and more pure, as if a flame was circulating in the meridians, galloping endlessly, and the whole body was warm and melting, like soaking in a hot spring.

"Master?" Mingyue called out the window.

Li Muchan opened his eyes and said softly: "Mingyue, come in." ”

Fang Mén was pushed away with a squeak, and Mingyue came in, wearing a gray monk robe wrapped around her delicate body, her face was Chu and moving, and she was looking over with concern.

"Master, are you practicing?" Mingyue asked.

Li Muchan bowed his head: "What time is it?"

Mingyue said with some dissatisfaction: "You have been in the house for three days at once!"

Li Muchan smiled: "I see,...... What, scared?"

Mingyue pursed her lips and said angrily, "Master should tell me!"

Li Muchan said: "The practice is getting into a good state, I can't stop and tell you, this kind of thing is very common, don't be surprised, you will encounter it in the future." ”

Mingyue let out a sigh of relief and nodded: "Master, there is a white father-in-law, who has come to see Master since yesterday, but was stopped by me. ”

Li Muchan raised his eyebrows: "Father-in-law Bai?"

"Yes, he said you were his savior and wanted to come and see him. Mingyue said.

Li Muchan nodded: "This is true. ”

Mingyue said: "That Bai Gonggong is by the side of Concubine Xue, I saw it that day, how could the master save him?"

Li Muchan said that when he went to Tianluo Mountain, he ran into them, how he saved their lives, and finally Bai Gonggong gave a tiger card to say goodbye.

At this moment, Sang Niang ran in with her skirt: "Sir, that white father-in-law is here again!"

Li Muchan got up and stayed: "I'll go and greet you personally." ”

Outside the small courtyard, the white father-in-law dressed in brocade stood calmly, looking at the small courtyard, when the footsteps sounded, and then Li Muchan's laugh came: "Father-in-law Bai, you are here, you are far away!"

As he spoke, Li Muchan floated and appeared, followed by Mingyue. , Father-in-law Bai suddenly smiled with a smile on his face, hugged his fists and smiled: "Mr. Li, let's meet again!"

Li Muchan said with a smile: "I have a fate to meet thousands of miles away, and I really have a fate with my father-in-law, please come inside!"

The three of them came to the small pavilion at the back to show their closeness, and saw the five NV serving tea and water on the side, holding melons and handing fruits, and Bai Gonggong said with a smile: "Mr. Li is really a person who can enjoy it." ”

Li Muchan shook his head and smiled: "I don't have big ambitions, I just want to live a comfortable life." ”

"Sir, this kind of life is really fairy-like. Grandpa Bai smiled.

Father-in-law Bai asked Li Muchan about what happened after saying goodbye, and Li Muchan said one by one, coming to Fangfu as a guest, comfortable and enjoyable, quite happy.

Father-in-law Bai shook his head and smiled: "Mr. wants to live such a life, tell our family that if you go to Jingshi, I will let Mr. be at ease!"

Li Muchan shook his head: "It's better to eat here, with your ability, if your father-in-law talks about the life-saving grace again, or keeps it in his heart, our friend won't be able to do it for long!"

"Hehe......" Bai Gonggong pointed at him with a smile: "Mr. is really weird, okay, okay, I don't say it, let's only talk about friends Jiāo!"

Li Muchan smiled: "That's right, equality and casualness are comfortable, you are not a high-ranking and powerful manager, and I am not your life-saving benefactor, just two ordinary people, drinking and talking!"

Father-in-law Bai smiled and said, "Okay, no better!"

The two talked for a while, and Grandpa Bai talked about his provincial relatives this time, which was an extraordinary grace from the saints, and few concubines could do such a beautiful thing.

In the end, he smiled and said, "The concubine wants to see you, sir." ”

Li Muchan smiled: "The concubine and I don't know each other, what are you doing when you see me, a mountain and grass people?"

Father-in-law Bai smiled: "The concubine has heard a lot of rumors about Mr., the eldest young master, the second young master, the third young master, and the fourth young lady, I also said a few words, the concubine is curious." ”

Li Muchan thought for a while and said, "I still won't go, people in the mountains and wilderness don't know how to be polite, and it is inevitable that there will be rudeness." ”

Bai Gonggong hurriedly said: "This can't be helped, Mr. Li, this is the will of the concubine, and it cannot be violated." ”

Li Muchan smiled: "There is such a particularity, what if it is violated?"

Bai Gong said: "That's to be punished." ”

Li Muchan said helplessly: "In this case, just see it, and my father-in-law will lead the way." ”

Father-in-law Bai glanced him up and down: "Sir, let's change your clothes first and put on a new dress." ”

Li Muchan smiled bitterly: "There is still such a particularity, then forget it, I haven't got the new clothes I ordered yet, and only two have been worn." ”

Father-in-law Bai hurriedly said: "Don't ,...... Otherwise, this is it. ”

Li Muchan got up and said with a smile: "Then what else to say, let's go!"

Father-in-law Bai shook his head, glanced at Li Muchan's clothes with dissatisfaction, and sighed: "This ...... Alas...... , I can only barely make do with it, I can't wait another day. ”

The two of them walked out of the small courtyard and went eastward, until they reached the easternmost courtyard, dozens of gods and guards were scattered around, forming three layers, all with bright eyes, looking forward to it.

The two of them went through three layers of inspections from close to the hospital, and the inspectors were all masters, staring at Li Muchan with vigilance, as if they were about to break out at any time.

Li Muchan didn't have any weapons on his body, but his cultivation was profound, and everyone sensed the threat.

Father-in-law Bai smiled, didn't say much, and Li Muchan didn't care, knowing that they had a heavy responsibility, and they wouldn't let people go because of Father-in-law Bai's words.

After entering the courtyard, Father-in-law Bai took him straight to the back garden, the layout here was not very good, it was similar to Fang Huairui's boudoir.

A boudoir stands upright, and the back garden is a small lake, with a water pavilion and a cloister on the lake, mixed with several small pavilions, and the place is twice as large as Fang Huairui.

In a small pavilion directly south, Fang Huairui sat and talked with a palace costume nv, and behind the palace costume nv stood an old man with a black face.

Bai Gonggong hurriedly said: "Niangniang is over there, let me go and say hello first." ”

Li Muchan nodded, looked at the palace outfit, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration in his heart, it was really a national sè Tianxiang, beautiful.

Such a beauty, no wonder she can become a concubine, standing out among the three thousand beauties of the harem, with a long face, a sharp chin, black and white eyes, a straight nose, and a hint of charm in the cold.
