Travel through the heavens

After bidding farewell to Zhou Xiyu, Fang Muye returned to the clinic.

Walking into the backyard, as expected, Yuzhen and Lin Xiaowan were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

For some unknown reason, Yuzhen has started to take care of housework these days. Not only does she go shopping for groceries with Lin Xiaowan, she also cooks meals herself.

Fortunately, she was not the daughter of a wealthy family, and she had to prepare meals when she was at her parents' home. Although she hasn't done it since she married "Cui Daoning", she still has the basic skills, so the meals she made were delicious, which saved Fang Muye's stomach from suffering.

When Lin Xiaowan saw Fang Muye coming back, she immediately shouted happily: "Master, you're back just in time. We can eat right away. Master's wife made a delicious dish today."

Fang Muye laughed: "Really? Then I'll have to eat more later."

One morning half a month ago, after Fang Muye finished practicing boxing, Lin Xiaowan finally couldn't help but expressed her wish to learn boxing from him. Fang Muye recognized her character and agreed.

From then on, the boss and the boss's wife became the master and the master's wife.

Taking into account that Xingyiquan starts with a strong and powerful style and Tai Chiquan is slow to develop, Fang Muye taught Lin Xiaowan Baguazhang.

The beauty of Baguazhang's body shapes combines both masculinity and femininity. When girls practice it, they feel graceful and heroic, which is quite suitable for them.

In addition to Baguazhang, Fang Muye also taught Lin Xiaowan Yuenu sword and medical skills. He taught her carefully every day and truly treated her as his apprentice.

Although Lin Xiaowan has an average talent for martial arts, she is extremely hardworking and diligent, which makes Fang Muye very satisfied.

Soon, the table in the courtyard was filled with sumptuous dishes, and the three of them sat down to eat.

Yuzhen picked up an abalone and put it into Fang Muye's bowl, and said softly, "Daoning, try the steamed abalone I made."

"Okay." Fang Muye put it in his mouth and chewed it twice. Hmm, it tasted pretty good.

Yuzhen looked at Fang Muye expectantly and asked, "How is it? Is the abalone delicious?"

Fang Muye nodded and praised: "It's very fresh and delicious. Yuzhen, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

Yuzhen suddenly smiled with joy, her eyes curved like two crescent moons.

The dinner ended in an atmosphere of chatting and laughing. After the meal, Lin Xiaowan stayed to clean up, while Fang Muye took Yuzhen to the West Lake.

Moon watching at West Lake is a world-famous scene.

However, the people of Hangzhou actually do not look at the moon. After work in the evening, they rush home, avoiding the moon as if it were an enemy.

Only those outsiders who came to play and the dignitaries who brought their ladies and prostitutes would gather on the shore at night and tour along the lake.

When they feel like it, especially when the moon is full, they will rent a boat, float on the lake, sit around the coffee table and the stove, watch the bright moon in the sky, appreciate the beauties around them, and continue the romantic style of the ancient literati.

Fang Muye originally didn't like looking at the moon, but after learning the ape-fighting technique today, he developed a strong interest in the moonlight and wanted to observe it carefully.

He and Yuzhen walked to the lakeside and rented a small pleasure boat without asking a boatman to row the boat with them.

After getting on the boat, Fang Muye rowed hard, steered the boat away from the shore, and then ignored it, letting it drift with the current and slowly drift into the deep waters of the lake.

It was the end of October, and the lake was very cool at night. Yuzhen sat lazily in the boat next to the heater. She was wearing a moon-white cheongsam and her fair neck was bare, reflecting the bright moonlight coming in through the small window. Her two big watery eyes stared at Fang Muye who was sitting cross-legged by the door.

Fang Muye looked up at the moon in the sky, motionless. Gradually, the moon seemed to rotate, and as it rotated, it became the eye of the Yin fish in the Tai Chi diagram.

He was shocked and looked carefully again. It was clearly the moon. He then realized it was just an illusion.

Fang Muye suddenly had an inspiration, closed his eyes, and silently recited the method of Yue Lian of the Ape Strike Technique in his mind.

"Empty your body outside, empty your mind inside, forget the outside and the inside, and become an empty body. Use the natural method, and be aware of it as soon as the thought arises..."

Just as one must first have a "sense of Qi" in practicing Qi, the Yuan Ji technique, whether practiced on the moon or the sun, must first have a "sense of light". That is, the practitioner must first feel the "light" before being able to attract the "light". This is the primary condition for refining the sunlight or moonlight into true Qi.

In terms of "light perception", practicing during the day is undoubtedly much easier than practicing during the moon, because sunlight is easier for people to feel than moonlight.

When the sunlight shines on people, they will slowly feel warm. If it is a hot summer day, it will feel like being burned by fire. Those who practice day exercises will always be able to feel the sunlight by following that trace of heat.

However, moonlight is different.

Although people often say that "moonlight is as cool as water", it is ultimately just a description. When the moonlight falls on your body, how can you really feel as cool as water?

Therefore, the first practice of Moon Meditation is usually on a full moon night when the moonlight is at its strongest, especially on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival when the moon is at its strongest and it is easiest to feel the moonlight.

Taoists also believe that on a full-moon night, when the moon is bright and the golden essence is abundant, the human body's qi, blood, essence, and spirit will be more abundant, and the sensitivity will be more obvious, so practicing under the moon at this time will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Fang Muye knew all this, of course; Zhou Xiyu had told him when he taught him the ape-fighting technique. But he only decided to try it because he was in a spur of the moment mood while looking at the moon.

At this time, there was a waning moon in the sky, and the moonlight was not strong, which was not conducive to moon training. Although Fang Muye felt a little cool, he knew that it was the coolness of the lake water and had nothing to do with the moon.

About half an hour later, Fang Muye finally opened his eyes reluctantly, got up and entered the boat.

Seeing that he looked bored, Yuzhen asked, "Didn't you succeed in practicing?"

Although Yuzhen didn't know what he was practicing, she guessed that he was practicing martial arts. After all, she had known for a long time that Fang Muye knew martial arts.

Fang Muye shook his head: "I haven't practiced it yet."

Yuzhen comforted him softly, "If you didn't succeed, then you didn't succeed. You can practice slowly in the future. Don't be unhappy."

Fang Muye laughed: "Yes, I will practice slowly in the future. I said we were going to cruise the lake and enjoy the moon, but I left you here alone. I am sorry."

Yuzhen smiled gently: "It doesn't matter, it's good to be with you."

At this time, the surface of the West Lake reflected the crescent moon in the sky, and there were more than a dozen painting boats scattered on the lake. One of the painting boats happened to pass by the painting boat the two were riding on, only one meter away. As it passed by, a burst of lewd music came intermittently from the boat tower.

Fang Muye couldn't help but feel strange and looked at Yuzhen. She was in the best time of her life as a woman, still full of youthful energy and a charm that a young girl didn't have.

Coincidentally, Yuzhen also looked over with a charming gaze.

The original Cui Daoning said these words to He Anxia: When it comes to matters between men and women, once they begin, it is like jumping off a cliff. All good things are gone, and there is only degeneration and further depravity.

Two hours later, the pleasure boat docked at the shore. Fang Muye, looking refreshed, walked out supporting Yuzhen, whose hands and feet were weak and her whole body was limp, and walked slowly towards home.
