Li Chengxi, courtesy name Yuhe.
"If you are in your master's realm, we who are on the profit-seeking path can't catch up with you, so how can we dare to accept the gift?"
"Immortal Master and Sir, we are all righteous people, so why don't we stop being polite to each other here? Why don't we go to the pavilion for a brief chat and take a rest?"
As expected of a businessman, Mr. Li was thoughtful and relieved the solemn scene.
"Young hero, please!"
"Sir, please!"
…
Putting aside the other pleasantries, Mu Nan and Li Chengxi briefly talked about the academy and imagined the future.
Before I knew it, I had become friends as before.
Through the education methods of his previous life, many of Mu Nan's ideas were recognized by Li Chengxi and he nodded repeatedly.
"Sir, there is something unclear about the student."
Mu Nan said as he took out the measuring ruler and handed it to Li Chengxi.
"The thing in the student's hand is called a measuring ruler. It is almost the same as the thing in the teacher's hand. I just don't know how to use it. I wonder if you can explain it?"
Li Chengxi put the sky ruler in his hand and compared it with his ruler.
"The thing used by the old man is a standard for punishment, so it is called a ruler. As for the handle, it is just for hanging around the waist for convenience."
"That's it. When the student saw that the teacher was also holding a celestial ruler, he thought that the teacher knew the secret. The student was rude!"
Li Chengxi didn't take it seriously and said: "I do have some insights, young hero, don't take it seriously."
Mu Nan respectfully said: "Sir, please give me some advice."
"The ruler means rules, standards, instructions, and teachings. Ancient texts have contained the meaning of scale, respect, wisdom, and auspiciousness."
Li Chengxi saw that Mu Nan seemed to have some enlightenment, and then said: "Young hero might as well try to understand in this direction, you may gain something."
"Enlightenment?"
Mu Nan's heart trembled and he said: "Student Mu Nan, thank you for your kindness in teaching me and solving my doubts!"
"Young hero, don't be polite. It's nothing more than speculation."
Li Chengxi handed the measuring ruler back to him: "If you are serious, young hero, why not go to Jinghu Lake to see that there are filthy things that disturb people's purity."
Mu Nan was puzzled: "Sir, you are a gentleman, how can you dare to offend Mr. Ansheng?"
Li Chengxi smiled openly.
"Speaking of which, these two filthy creatures were decrepit schoolboys when they were alive. Confucianism has no means of rebirth, so they suppressed them rashly and couldn't bear to lose their souls!"
"Even so, students should go there, but I don't know where the Mirror Lake is?"
Li Yuanwai added in awe: "Master Immortal, there once was a spring in the backyard of the academy. I saw that the water flowed endlessly and was warm in winter and summer, so I dug it into a pond and named it Jinghu Lake."
"In the academy?"
"It's exactly what the immortal master said."
Mu Nan cupped his hands to Li Chengxi and said, "Sir, please leave first, but the technique may disturb the students' study."
Li Chengxi put the ruler behind his back and walked toward the school: "Students should have the mind of a deer on the left and not blink. Young hero, there is no harm in leaving."
"Please ask someone to lead the way!"
"Master Immortal, please come this way."
…
Mirror Lake is only ten feet in diameter.
When Mu Nan arrived at the lake, he saw mist on the water.
It was clearly the encounter between cold air and intense heat that created this scene.
"The water used to be warm and the lake didn't freeze in winter."
Mr. Li didn't say his next words.
Because of the haunting in Li's Mansion, he already had some common sense, so he just turned his gaze to the immortal master beside him.
Mu Nan nodded: "We will leave Jing Lake temporarily to prevent the invasion of ghosts."
After Mr. Li left the backyard, he shouted to the lake: "Have you had enough trouble?"
"There is a Taoist!"
"There is a Taoist!"
"They're here to catch us! What to do, what to do?"
"Look for sir!"
"Sir is teaching, if you disturb him you will be slapped!"
The silhouettes of two ghosts who looked like seven or eight-year-old children gradually became clearer, jumping around in panic on the lake, their eyes glancing at Mu Nan from time to time.
"Roar!"
Xiao Zhuzi smelled the ghost spirit, stood up from above him and roared, grinning at the two ghosts with a fierce look on his face.
Mu Nan stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Zhuzi's belly gently, and said: "As entrusted by my husband, I will give you two reincarnations. Please don't fight!"
"Reincarnation?"
"If you don't reincarnate, you will forget sir!"
"Yes, yes, after reincarnation, I won't be able to hear my teacher's lectures!"
"Roar!"
Xiao Zhuzi seemed a little uncomfortable with the noise of the two imps and roared again.
"There are dogs, there are dogs!"
"It's over, it's over, I'm most afraid of dogs!"
"How to do how to do?"
Mu Nan, who looked at the two brats as if they were headless chickens, shook his head helplessly.
These are not two harmful little devils, they are obviously children with incomplete minds.
No wonder Li Chengxi couldn't bear to suppress him!
I can't do it!
Mu Nan's mind was busy and he had an idea: "I have a way to allow you to continue to study with me."
"Possession doesn't work!"
"Possession is wrong!"
The two brats shook their heads in surprisingly unison.
"It's not a harmful method like possession!"
Mu Nan interrupted Ergui's chirping and continued: "Let you become human beings again!"
"Do not believe!"
"Yes, I don't believe it!"
"You come up with a solution first, and we'll think about it!"
"Yes! Tell us a solution first!"
Mu Nan bit his fingertips, drew a simple talisman on the palm of his hand, and spoke to coax the kid.
"My technique is so magical that it can give you two yang bodies. From now on, you will become real people! You can study openly and openly next to your husband!"
"Try it out?"
"Yes, let's try it out!"
The two little ghosts held hands and looked at Mu Nan.
“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.”
As soon as Mu Nan finished speaking, a faint yin energy pulled the ghost bodies of the two little ghosts down gradually, as if there was another world under the water.
"I want to be a man!"
"You can listen to sir's lectures openly!"
"This Taoist priest is not bad!"
The two little guys didn't know why, they thought their past life was rebirth, and said excitedly.
"Is this a white lie?"
Looking at the two "children" who had entered reincarnation, Mu Nan's mind was filled with thoughts.
Sitting cross-legged by the Mirror Lake.
His consciousness sank and he entered the altar.
He did not expect rewards from the prayer wheel of demons.
After all, he has done this matter of sending dead souls to the afterlife many times and has never seen any reward.
It's just that the two little ghosts were very spiritual, and they were tricked by themselves into passing away. They wanted to know the cause and effect of their previous lives.
Subconsciously, I thought of that magnetic voice every time I killed a monster.
Unexpectedly, the demon prayer wheel actually stopped.
At the moment when Mu Nan was excited, the image of two children, a boy and a girl holding hands, lit up on the small grid.
"Tongnu Tonglu"
The magnetic voice is the same as before: "They were originally the Tong siblings of Qinghe. Their family was poor and they lived on the streets. They were later adopted as book boys by Li Chengxi in Qingzhou and taught them carefully. In the fourth year of Chunren, the Tong siblings accidentally fell into the water and drowned while playing in the Qingzhou River. . Because he missed Li Chengxi’s kindness in raising him, he refused to give up reincarnation and evaded the pursuit of the underworld many times. His crime is forgivable, his love is pitiable, and he should be reincarnated!"
"So that's it!"
Mu Nan turned sideways to avoid the wooden box, feeling regretful but also a little relieved.
There are more puzzles: Do the rewards given in the Prayer Wheel depend on your mood?
The brilliance of the wooden box flashed, and when I touched it, I found a pill in the palm of my hand.
【Ningling Pill】
It is cooked with rootless water from the gallbladder of bamboo leaves, green snake, Heling bamboo, black swan heart and Gui Ling grass. After swallowing, it will immediately provide spiritual power continuously until the potion is exhausted.
From Mu Nan's point of view, the effects of the Spirit Condensing Pill are almost the same as those of the Spirit Recovery Pill, with the slight difference being the word "immediately".
When using the spirit recovery pill to restore spiritual power, the pill must be swallowed, and only after the medicinal power has dissipated does the monk's spiritual power begin to be restored.
The Condensing Spirit Pill provides spiritual power immediately.
Withdrawing from his spiritual consciousness, Mu Nan's hand flashed with light.
Then a black claw suddenly stretched out and swallowed the Ningling Pill into his mouth with lightning speed.
"Little bamboo!"
Mu Nan said angrily: "You should let me smell it!"
"belch!"
The commander-in-chief said that Chaotian Hu would share half of his training income, but who would have thought that it would even eat the Spirit Condensing Pill!
Fortunately, it was neither noisy nor fussy, and only knew how to sleep. At this time, after eating and drinking, its limbs were stretched out, almost hanging above his head.
Mu Nan helped it adjust its ears so that its entire head was exposed.
Although the color is not that elegant, at least people can recognize the appearance of a dog at a glance.
A dog on your head is much better than a cuckold on your head, right?
