Chapter 208: Retreat

At this time, the location where he appeared was his original small courtyard, and a group of people were surrounding the small courtyard, Dugu Jue, Dugu Heng, Xiaoxi, and Dugu Jinghua lying on the couch.

A bed was placed in Li Muchan's small courtyard, Dugu Jinghua lay on it, sleeping quietly, Xiaoxi sat on the edge of the couch, holding her jade hand, tears fell down, and soon wet the bed.

Dugu Heng had a pile of powder in his hand, which was falling down.

Dugu Heng stared at the powder in his hand, turned his head to look around, Dugu Jue's face was gloomy, and he frowned: Chuan Heng'er, can you really call Mr. Li?"

"Hmm. Dugu Heng nodded, he had already used it once, and he knew that it was very effective.

Dugu Jue turned her head to look at Dugu Jinghua on the couch again, she was wearing a snow-white Luo shirt, her chest was stained with blood, which was particularly bright red and dazzling, lying quietly on the couch, slightly closing her eyes, as if she was asleep, but Dugu Jue knew that she would never wake up from this sleep.

Dugu Jinghua and his brother and sister have been dependent on each other since childhood, their parents died early, and his eldest brother is both a brother and a father, and the two brothers and sisters are very close.

He wished that it was himself lying on the couch, not his little sister, and endless remorse and anger surged in his chest, almost bursting his chest.

"Dad, don't worry, as long as Brother Li arrives, my aunt will definitely be saved!" Dugu Heng saw his father's face flushed, his eyes were fierce, and he hurriedly comforted.

"What about it...... , I hope so!" Dugu was determined, tried his best to suppress the surging thoughts, exhaled deeply, and said, "Only blame me for being careless!"

"Who would have thought that this dad should not blame himself. Dugu Heng shook his head and said, "Xiaoxi, although you wipe your tears, go and boil porridge, and your aunt will wake up and drink porridge later." ”

"But Sister Xiaolu, ......?" Xiaoxi looked up, his eyes red and swollen.

Dugu Heng said: "What are you crying about, my aunt is fine, as long as Brother Li comes, he will definitely be able to get rid of the injury, you hurry up and prepare!"

"Okay. Xiao Xi reluctantly put down Dugu Jinghua's jade and hand, and stared at her, afraid that this glance would be the last one.

At this moment, Li Muchan suddenly appeared.

"Brother Li!" Dugu Hengda was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him: "Look at my aunt!"

Li Muchan looked calm, glanced at Dugu Jinghua on the couch, and nodded to Dugu Jue: "Family master." ”

"Mr. Li, you're here, let's see if I can save my little sister. Dugu was busy.

He saw Li Muchan suddenly appear, and suddenly had a little more confidence, Dugu Heng said that as long as the jade pendant was crushed, Li Muchan would appear immediately, Dugu Jue didn't believe it, and he was not a god, how could he come and go, it was too unbelievable.

But Li Muchan just appeared, and gave Dugu infinite confidence at once, just this hand is not something ordinary people can do.

Li Muchan frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

As he spoke, without waiting for an answer, he stepped over to the couch.

Dugu Jinghua's delicate face has no trace of blood, the thin frowning eyebrows are frowning, the graceful curves are concave and convex, and the slender jade hand is on the edge of the couch, motionless.

Li Muchan's heart sank, his face changed, he closed his lips tightly and touched Dugu Jinghuayu's hand, put it on his wrist and probed it, and shook his head.

Dugu Jue's face sank, and he opened his mouth to speak, Li Muchan had already turned his hand into a crane's mouth, pecked Dugu Jinghua's chest six times, and then let go of the crane's hand, and pressed her left palm on the middle of her breasts.

"Poof!" a stream of blood spurted at him.

Li Muchan's hands and feet did not move, the blood arrow suddenly turned in front of his face, and fell behind him, Dugu Jinghua opened his eyes leisurely.

"Sir?" she smiled.

Li Muchan frowned and said, "What's the matter, being injured so much?"

Dugu Jinghua showed a wry smile: "Someone assassinated me." ”

Li Muchan looked at Xiao Xi, and Xiao Xi hurriedly said: "Sister Xiao Lu was injured to save me, and those guys suddenly appeared, attacked and disappeared again." ..., Li Muchan looked at her, knowing that he couldn't ask anything, turned his head to look at Dugu Jinghua, Dugu Jinghua shook his head and sighed: "I don't know which one it is." ”

Li Muchan looked at Dugu Jue again, Dugu Jue shook his head and said: "Mr. Li, I'm ashamed, the old man is also ignorant, I don't know where it is sacred, but I will definitely find out!"

Li Muchan shook his head: "It seems that it is enough to be choked, it is not ...... ordinary people to be so elusive as Jingshi and break through the defense line again...... The head of the family suspects that it is one of the four great families, right?"

"It's hard to say. Dugu snorted coldly.

Li Muchan saw that he really suspected three of the four great families, and shook his head helplessly: "Maybe someone deliberately provoked, and maybe someone fished in troubled waters, and this revenge can't be avenged in a hurry." ”

"Alas......" Dugu nodded his head: "Mr. is reasonable, this matter can't be rushed, otherwise it will be wrong............ Why did the gentleman come over so soon?"

Li Muchan said with a smile: "I have a secret technique, which can be used in an instant, and I can't use it at a critical juncture...... "It's good to call me over!"

Dugu Jinghua's injury was too serious, and there was only one breath left to hang, which is the elixir of the Dugu family, if he was able to hang this breath, if he changed someone, he would have died a long time ago.

Dugu Jinghua didn't have dragon stinging, he died when he died, and he couldn't save him if he knew it afterwards, and he was in a cold sweat when he thought of this.

He frowned and said, "Ninth girl, why didn't you call me at a critical time?"

Dugu Jinghua wanted to sit up, Xiaoxi hurriedly stepped forward to help, Dugu Jinghua sat down with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Everything happened too fast at that time, I was too late." ”

Li Muchan snorted: "It's too dangerous this time, but fortunately, Brother Dugu knows!"

Dugu Heng said proudly: "I know that Brother Li, you have great powers, this time my aunt can pick up her life, and I also have a share of the credit?"

Dugu Jinghua smiled: "Okay, your credit is the greatest!"

Dugu said: "Mr. Li, I don't thank you for saving your life!"

Li Muchan waved his hand and said, "The head of the family has seen the outside!" ...... I've been dealing with the Wind Thunder Gate in Luoxia Valley for a while, and I don't know the situation of the Jingshi, what's wrong?"

Dugu Jinghua sighed: "It's not like it's over!"

Li Muchan nodded: "It's better to be safe, as long as you protect the Danxin Iron Coupon, you will be as stable as a rock, and you don't have to take risks." ”

"Sir, there is a point. Dugu nodded and said: "If you fight to the death, everyone will not get benefits in the end, so it is better to maintain the status quo." ”

Dugu Jinghua frowned and said: "I'm afraid that the emperor doesn't think so, he wants to solve us, this time I guess the assassination is to provoke the eldest brother you, let the eldest brother move, and he can take advantage of it." ”

Dugu said: "Then I will plan and see what means he uses?"

Dugu Jinghua shook his head: "We don't have to pick this head." ”

"Well, that's fine. Dugu bowed his head lightly: "Let's just keep an eye on the Zhu family, I'm afraid that they won't be clear in their minds and will be bewitched." ”

"If Zhu Jun is here, it won't be, Zhu Lang is a straw bag. Dugu Jinghua frowned and shook his head, and sighed: "Plus Zhu Guifei's clever tongue, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be moved." ”

"I hope he doesn't be so stupid. Dugu sighed.

Li Muchan said: "Be careful of the Void Purity Masters. ”

"Master of Empty Purification?" Dugu Jinghua said, "It's the Empty Purity Monk from Xihua Kingdom, what are they doing?"

Li Muchan shook his head and said: "It is said that it is to exchange Buddhism, but this master has great magical powers, and he is a little stronger than the monks of Tianwang Temple, if he is to help......"

"If Mr. Li didn't mention it, we really didn't pay attention. Dugu Jue groaned: "This moment to invite the monk of Xihua to come over does have a deep meaning. ”

Li Muchan said: "The head of the family can inquire, ...... the emperor's body?"

Dugu Jue shook his head and said: "The emperor's cultivation is extremely deep, even if there is a disease, others can't see it, besides, the emperor is in the spring and autumn period, and his longevity is not over, so he must have gone crazy in practice." ”...,

Dugu Jinghua said: "So, asking this Empty Purity Master is to heal him?"

"Possibly. Dugu nodded and said: "The emperor's cultivation is unfathomable, and he really goes crazy, and ordinary people really can't cure it." ”

Dugu Jinghua groaned: "If that's the case, you really can't do it."

Dugu slapped his face and said hatefully: "This is the emperor's trap, we almost fell for it...... Fortunately, Mr. Li reminded me. ”

Li Muchan said with a smile: "I'll just casually say what to do, or the head of the family decides...... "My affairs in Jingshi are almost over, and I want to retreat for a while." ”

"Mr. is leaving?" Dugu Jinghuayu's face changed.

Li Muchan nodded and said: "I have been entangled in mundane things for a while, and I have not been able to practice quietly, if I continue like this, I will not advance but retreat, and I should retreat and practice. ”

Dugu Heng said: "Brother Li, don't you want to take revenge?"

Li Muchan smiled: "If you want to take revenge, you can only practice in retreat, and the upright means are the avenue, and the intrigue is difficult to do." ”

Dugu said: "This is a rare opportunity, if you miss it, even if your merit is higher than the sky, you can't help the emperor." ”

Li Muchan shook his head: "I think he is still lucky, it is not the time of the moon, it is not appropriate to touch, the head of the family should also be careful, don't fight the wolf but be bitten by the wolf." ”

Dugu Jue smiled and said: "Mr. Li, don't worry, we have been fighting with the emperor for so many years, and we are very familiar with each other. ”

Li Muchan took out another white jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Dugu Heng: "Brother Dugu, this is for you, if it is crushed at a critical moment, I will appear myself, don't abuse it." ”

"Hehe, Brother Li, don't worry. Dugu Heng took it without hesitation, and said with a smile: "With Brother Li, there is one more life amulet." ”

Li Muchan said: "Don't put too much hope, sometimes I can't pull away, and I will delay." ”

Dugu Heng nodded: "Brother Li, do you want to go back to the Yunxiao Sect for retreat?"

Li Muchan shook his head: "Not necessarily, retreat in the sect is not pure, I want to find a place where no one is, avoid the world, and retreat for as long as I want." ”

"Beyond the world, what about the sea girl?" Dugu Heng asked.

Li Muchan smiled: "Let's talk about it." ”

"Don't be a negative person!" Dugu Heng glared: "Miss Hai is a good girl, if you lose her, the sky will thunder!"

Li Muchan smiled bitterly and said, "I understand!" "Family master, nine girls, I'm going." ”

"Why should Mr. Li be in a hurry. Dugu hurriedly smiled: "Come in a hurry, leave in a hurry, and it's not too late to leave after dinner!"

"That's it. Dugu Heng nodded hurriedly, glanced at Dugu Jinghua, her jade face was slightly gloomy, and she was silent.

Li Muchan thought for a while and nodded: "It's okay." ”

......

A bright moon hung in the sky, and the bright moonlight spread on the ground, hazy as a veil.

Li Muchan's courtyard, he and Dugu Jinghua stood quietly beside the bamboo forest, looking up at the bright moon, silent, the courtyard was quiet and peaceful, but it revealed a bit of a strange atmosphere.

After a long time, when the moon reached the middle of the sky, Dugu Jinghua broke the tranquility: "Mr. is not ready to come back?"

Li Muchan said: "I will come back to see after I get out." ”

"How long is the retreat, sir?" asked Dugu Jinghua.

Li Muchan shook his head: "Looking at the progress of cultivation, or three or five months, or a year and a half, I can't say now." ”

Dugu Jinghua frowned and said, "Could it be that Mr. doesn't have any nostalgia at all?"

Li Muchan smiled: "I am in retreat this time, and I will not come back forever. ”

"I think my husband is upset and doesn't want to come back. Dugu Jinghua snorted lightly: "As for coming back after the retreat, it's purely deceitful." ”

Li Muchan said: "I really want to practice in retreat, and I still want to take revenge." "...," Mr. 's revenge is hard to avenge. Dugu Jinghua shook his head.

There is also a holy weapon suppression in the palace, and it is impossible to break in, and the great grandmaster will not succeed, otherwise the emperor would have been assassinated a long time ago.

Li Muchan smiled: "My retreat is to find a way to restrain the holy weapon. ”

"The holy weapon can really be broken, and the royal family is unstable. Dugu Jinghua shook his head.

Li Muchan said: "Heaven and earth have yin and yang, there must be yin and yang, there is no invincible existence, and there is no holy weapon that cannot be cracked, don't worry, I will find a way." ”

"Sir, do you have eyebrows?" asked Dugu Jinghua.

Li Muchan nodded: "It's a bit of a doorway, I want to retreat and study it." ”

Dugu Jinghua's eyes were fixed on his face, and after trying to see the truth of what he said for a long time, she sighed faintly: "Then I wish Mr. a wish." ”

Li Muchan smiled: "Once I find a way to restrain the holy weapon, your four great families will also be in danger, so you have to help me keep it secret." ”

"I will. Dugu Jinghua bowed his head.

Li Muchan pondered for a moment and said: "Nine girls, I have a secret method, which is that after the cultivation of the Buddhist Sect Mental Method, we can communicate with each other, even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers, we can still connect with each other, I want to pass it on to you." ”

"Is there really such a secret method?" Dugu Jinghua raised his eyebrows.

Li Muchan said with a smile: "What was originally passed down to the Ninth Princess is this secret method, which can purify the mind and clear the mind, and the magic is endless, can the Nine Girls have the heart to learn?"

"Okay. Dugu Jinghua's light jaw was a layer of red and jade face.

Li Muchan walked in front of her, Dugu Jinghua's face was even redder but did not move, watching Li Muchan stretch out his index finger and lightly land on her eyebrows.

"Boom" sounded like a thunderbolt in her ears, her eyes were bright, and one by one the big golden runes flashed in front of her,—— falling to her heart.

"The Heart Sutra of Immeasurable Light. When Li Muchan took her fingers, she knew this secret method.

Li Muchan said softly: "I can feel my ...... by reciting this sutra every day...... Nine girls, the end of the world is close at hand, you don't have to think about distance, let's meet again!"

He said that in a flash of light, he disappeared without a trace.

There is a Donglai town in the extreme east of Xihua country, the town is not big, but it is quite rich, because the land here is fertile, the grain is abundant, the people live very well, and the folk customs are simple, the richest man in the town Zheng Xiyun is willing to give, and the rent is reduced in a disaster year, which is deeply supported by everyone.

There is a temple outside the town, called Yuanxin Temple, which was donated by Zheng Xiyun, there is an old monk in the temple, and the Yuanxin Temple was empty after his death the year before last.

Donglai Town is the extreme west of Xihua Kingdom, and it is not a prosperous place, few people come here, and it is rare to see monks from Youfang. But the day before yesterday, the people of Donglai Town all knew that a monk from the traveling side came to the Yuanxin Temple, and now lives in the temple, this monk is very young, with an excellent bearing, and has the demeanor of a senior monk.

Donglai Town is quiet and peaceful, usually people have nothing to do, and the parents talk about it briefly, but this matter is the biggest thing in the town.

In the past, when the old monks of Yuanxin Temple were there, they could go to the temple to offer incense, pray for prayers, and bless the coming year with good weather and a good life.

After the old monk passed away, no one took care of the temple, and Zheng Xiyun didn't have the heart to take care of the Yuanxin Temple, so he fell down, never thinking that a young monk suddenly came.

Donglai Lou is the largest restaurant in Donglai Town, and it is also a place for people to chat, call a pot of tea, or call two jars of wine, two side dishes, a group of friends sit together and have endless fun.

This Donglai Building is Zheng Xiyun's industry, the price of vegetables is cheap on the first floor, slightly more expensive on the second floor, and the most expensive on the third floor.

The first floor is often the most lively, with people hanging out and having nothing to do, and it's a pleasure to sit and hang out together.

An old man with a face like a silver plate stroked his hair and smiled: "Everyone, I have seen this Master Zhan Ran, he is really a high-ranking monk, and it is true that there is a Tao that is not old." ”...,

"Old Hu, how old is he?" said a bald young man.

The old man said, "Look at your age, but you're in your early twenties." ”

The bald young man shook his head: "How many years can you cultivate in your early twenties, what skills can you cultivate?

Someone laughed and said: "Second Qi, do you think that everyone else is as stupid as you, you have been a monk for a few years, and you have been kicked out by Master Mingzhen!"

The bald young man suddenly blushed, and snorted angrily: "I have committed the killing precept, the master's precept is too strict, I have nothing to say!"

Old Hu stroked his hair and smiled, "Qi Er, don't be unconvinced, when you have seen this Zhan Ran master in person, you will definitely be bent by his bearing, obediently obey, it is better for you to worship under this master again, and you will definitely be able to achieve positive results!"

"Old Hu, you also look down on me!" the bald young man pouted.

Everyone laughed, and an old man smiled: "Qi Er's martial arts have nothing to say, but Buddhism...... Oh, ahh......"

"Hu Er, you go and have a competition with this little master Zhan Ran!" someone agitated.

Hu Lao shook his head and sighed: "As soon as this Zhan Ran master appeared, Zheng Yuanwai was very happy, Qi Er, you must not spoil the interest of Yuanwai." ”

"Alas...... , how could the staff be fooled by a little monk?" someone said puzzled.

Hu Lao glanced at everyone and said lightly: "You don't believe the old man's words, right?

"Can the big guys come to our place where the birds don't?" everyone shook their heads and laughed.

Hu Lao shook his head and sighed: "Let's go, I'm too lazy to say!" By the way, in two days, Master Zhan Ran will open the altar to teach the Fa, let's go and listen to it. ”。 )
