It was rare to see her third brother so angry. She really found it funny and couldn't help but laugh.

"Yes, go back to bed quickly, Yiyi, you have to go back to your parents' house tomorrow, don't go to bed too late... San'er, now that the matter is over, just relax, just think that you have accidentally lost your rights!"

Mrs. Qin said something and turned away with a smile.

Zhao Yiyi pursed her rosy mouth vigorously, looking strange. She glanced at Li Muchan and hurriedly turned around and returned to the west wing.

After everyone dispersed, Li Muchan had no choice but to shake his head, return to the house, and sit cross-legged on the couch.

In this moment, his inner lake had calmed down, his anger and unwillingness were gone, and he regained peace and joy.

Forming a seal with his hands, he entered meditation again, and he became familiar with it. Soon, his mind became peaceful and peaceful, everything around him disappeared, and only one thought lingered.

Suddenly, he had a thought and visualized the lotus.

In a clear lake, a lotus breaks through the lake surface, standing gracefully. Under the bright sunshine, the bright lotus petals are like thin jade pieces, crystal clear, one petal, two petals, three petals..., nine petals in total.

The lake water is like the open lake in Meifu, so clear that it is almost transparent. The soil, stones, swimming fish and aquatic plants below are all clearly visible.

I have never seen Minghu Lake before, so I didn’t know that the lake water could be so clear, much clearer than the hot spring behind Chengjing Temple.

A breeze blew, and the lotus petals trembled slightly, bright and flawless. He visualized the lake and the lotus, and his heart was filled with joy and stillness.

He only practices meditation techniques to eliminate distracting thoughts and make his thoughts as pure as glass.

I also know a thing or two about Contemplation, and I have practiced it before, but I only tried it briefly and did not practice it in depth, because Contemplation requires the guidance of a master, and there is always the risk of going wrong and becoming a devil.

He once heard a secret from Master Dharma Xing. When the Buddha first performed the Dharma, he taught his disciples to observe the Dharma on the Bones. Many of his disciples committed suicide after practicing, which shows the danger.

Since his master's dharma nature passed away, he did not dare to practice contemplation and only practiced cessation of mindfulness.

He once visualized the entire picture, and his vision went dark, unable to visualize. When the picture was gnawed by mice, only lotus flowers and lake water remained. His heart moved, and he visualized this fragmented picture.

After practicing Buddhism to a certain level, he vaguely felt that there were countless lines connecting heaven and earth, and discovered the existence of "destiny". How could he know that it was not his own "destiny" when a rat gnawed on the picture?

He had seen Minghu Lake during the day and felt happy in his heart. When he visualized it at this time, he felt no difficulty at all. Instead, he felt a slight joy and his whole body felt relaxed, as if he had transformed into a lotus flower, bathing in the bright sunshine and blowing the gentle breeze.

In the midst of concentration, he didn't know how much time had passed or how long he had been meditating. Suddenly, his mind opened, and a drop of nectar from the sky fell softly.

The nectar dripped from the Baihui acupoint and accurately fell on the lotus. Then it was absorbed by the lotus pod and disappeared. The lotus bloomed with a faint light, faintly visible, as if it had really turned into warm white jade.

He felt happy for a moment, but the picture in front of him suddenly turned into pieces and exploded, and his eyes fell into darkness again.

Slowly opening his eyes, he released his hand seals, sat down on the couch, and opened the window. The moonlight poured in, illuminating his bald head and making it sparkle.

Looking up at the sky, after thinking for a while, he deduced that it was the turn of Ziwu, when the Yin Qi was at its peak.

He looked at himself again and found that he was in good spirits, just like waking up after a deep sleep. He felt refreshed and not sleepy at all, so he sat on the couch again and entered meditation.

He used meditation instead of sleep, and the effect was amazing. Compared with sleeping, meditation was more wonderful and he had more complete rest.

After breakfast the next day, we went to Li Jian's house, and they went to Jinyang City together.

As they walked, Li Jian looked him over and said with a smile: "Mu Chan, you slept well last night. I see you are in good spirits."

Li Muchan was dressed in a gray monk's robe, with Buddhist beads on his hands and a string of Buddhist beads around his neck. He had a calm demeanor and the demeanor of a young eminent monk.

He smiled and said: "You haven't slept well, are you thinking about your wife?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Li Jian blushed.

Li Muchan smiled and said, "Are you satisfied, wife?"

"Let's make do! ...My parents' orders and the matchmaker's words have no place for me to speak!" Li Jian curled his lips.

Li Muchan smiled and said: "Okay, stop pretending, can your parents handle you?!"

Li Jian chuckled, and the two chatted and laughed all the way. When they arrived at Jinyang City, they separated in front of Chaoran Building. Li Jian entered Chaoran Building, and he went to Mei Mansion.

At the entrance of Mei Mansion, there were still four big men standing in two rows, with sharp eyes and solemn expressions. Together with the two stone lions, they formed a formidable aura.

A square-faced man took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Little Master Zhanran, the commander wants you to go find him directly!"

"Okay, thank you very much." Li Muchan nodded, joined the tithe, stepped into the Mei Mansion, and then went straight west along the Ming Lake to the martial arts training ground.

The martial arts training ground was very lively.

Under the bright sunshine, some were practicing fists and kicks, some were brandishing swords, some were motionless, like wooden chickens, practicing pile kung fu, and some were running as fast as flying and practicing light kung fu.

Jin Kaitai was standing on the high platform in the center with his hands behind his back, his body slightly arched like a black bear, and his eyes like hawks. When he saw him from a distance, when his eyes fell on him, he felt his body tighten and he was busy calming down his mind.

Along the gravel road in the middle, he came to the high platform and titheed: "Commander!"

Jin Kaitai kept looking at him, his eyes like awls, while Li Muchan was calm and composed, as if he didn't notice anything at all.

After looking at him for a while, Jin Kaitai relaxed his eyes, softened his eyes, nodded lightly, and said in a deep voice: "How is your practice going?"

Li Muchan said: "Second Senior Brother has explained it to me, but there are still some questions I don't understand."

"Tell me and listen." Jin Kaitai nodded.

Li Muchan said: "Two weeks after the internal energy has turned around, the Dantian begins to swell. What's going on? Is it okay?"

"Wait a minute!" Jin Kaitai frowned and said in a deep voice: "You said the internal energy has been turned around for two days?!"

"Well, after two weeks, my Dantian became swollen and I didn't dare to practice anymore." Li Muchan nodded.

Jin Kaitai frowned: "You just started practicing Tianyuan Breathing Technique, and you can feel the internal force?"

"Yes, after breathing for an hour, the Dantian was full of energy. I rushed out by myself, went up from the Du channel at the back, and then came down from the front from the Ren channel. After returning to the Dantian, it swelled a lot." Li Muchan said slowly.

"Wait!" Jin Kaitai waved his hands hurriedly and looked him up and down. Li Muchan looked calm and his eyes were peaceful.

Jin Kaitai pressed his temple with his left hand. He seemed to have a headache. He thought for a while, frowned and said, "I can't speak clearly. Please practice it again and show me."

"Here?" Li Muchan looked at it.

"...Let's go back to Tianshu Academy!" Jin Kaitai turned around and strode off the high platform.

Li Muchan followed him, and the two of them soon arrived at Tianshu Courtyard. At this time, there was silence in the courtyard.

"They all went out to practice, so it's quiet!" Jin Kaitai said when he saw Li Muchan looking around, as if looking for someone.

He pointed to the verandah again, and the two of them went over and sat in the verandah respectively.

Between the vermilion pillars and the pillars lay wide wooden beams, forming benches that were wide and flat enough to sit cross-legged on, with several futons placed on them.

Li Muchan sat down cross-legged, Jin Kaitai sat behind him, put his right palm on his vest, and said in a deep voice: "Zhanran, you can do your exercises."

Li Muchan nodded slightly, closed his eyes, and began to breathe.

After a few sips, the Dantian feels warm, like a fire under a cauldron, slowly warming up.

Soon, an internal force surged out of the Dantian, descended to the perineum, penetrated through the three levels, went up to Baihui, and then went down to the twelfth floor and returned to the Dantian, completing a cycle.

His whole body felt warm, as if he were immersed in a hot spring. He felt extremely comfortable, so he channeled his internal energy and circulated it for two more days. His Dantian slowly swelled, and then he stopped the energy and absorbed the Qi into his Dantian.

He let go of his hand, turned around and said to Jin Kaitai who was standing in the corridor: "Commander, is there something wrong?"

Jin Kaitai stared at him with his eyes wide open at this time, looking strange.

Li Muchan's words woke him up. He was shocked and said hurriedly: "Zhan Ran, have you really never practiced internal strength?"

Li Muchan shook his head: "I have been practicing Buddhist meditation skills and have never practiced internal skills."

"What a ghost!" Jin Kaitai muttered to himself.

"Commander?" Li Muchan asked hurriedly: "How can I reach the third level? There is no level written in the secret book."

Jin Kaitai looked at him strangely: "Third level? Hehe, you have already practiced to perfection,... you are a master!"

"Did you practice?" Li Muchan raised his eyebrows and nodded slowly: "So, I can go home at night?"

"I keep my word!" Jin Kaitai nodded quickly, and then said: "Zhanran, did you take any magic pills when you were a child? Magic medicine?"

Li Muchan shook his head.

Jin Kaitai still didn't give up, looked at him, thought for a while, and said: "Then how come you, the governor, can penetrate the second channel so easily?"

"When I was practicing meditation, I seemed to have unintentionally opened it up,...what's wrong?" Li Muchan said.

Jin Kaitai slapped his thigh: "It turns out to be the power of Buddhism! ... No wonder!"

He smiled quickly and said: "Haha, not only is there nothing wrong, but it is a great joy!... Zhanran, do you understand the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians of the body?"

Li Muchan shook his head: "I heard it from Second Senior Brother yesterday, but I wasn't very clear about it."

"Then let me tell you in detail." Jin Kaitai said.

He sat on the railing, looked at the clear mirror-like lake surface, and said slowly: "The human body is very mysterious. The inside of the body is similar to nature. The twelve meridians are like big rivers, and the inner Qi is like big rivers.

It is the river flowing in the Twelve Meridians."

Li Muchan nodded slightly and listened carefully.

"And these eight extraordinary meridians are like lakes, and the lakes are interconnected through the twelve regular meridians." Jin Kaitai said slowly.

He added: "However, these eight strange meridians are naturally combined with yin, and there are several checkpoints to isolate them from the twelve regular meridians, just like this Minghu Lake."

As he spoke, he pointed to the clear lake in front of him. The lake was calm and without any waves.

Li Muchan nodded slowly, indicating that he understood.

Jin Kaitai continued: "Only when the lake is too full, it can overflow into the river, or if the river is too full, it will flow back in."
To be continued...
