Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 141: The capable ones work harder, the scapegoat
Not to mention what kind of uproar Li Lianhua's other identity caused in the world.

Li Lianpeng and his party stayed temporarily in Pudu Temple and lived a leisurely life again.

The abbot was so generous and worthy of being Li Lianhua's best friend that the few remaining dormitories for laymen in Pudu Temple were lent to Li Lianpeng and the others.

All that was needed was for one person to burn three sticks of incense in front of the Buddha every day. The monk didn't care whether he was pious or not. He just didn't want Li Lianhua to owe him a favor for this.

With the old monk's considerate behavior, it is difficult to imagine what kind of status he had in the world back then.

Li Lianpeng asked Li Lianhua about Monk Wu's past, but Li Lianhua refused to tell him. Zuo Gu told him that he didn't know either.

However, the Jianghu Bao asked about Su Xiaoyong and heard some rumors about Monk Wuliang when he was young.

This old monk was also a great hero when he was young, and he did a lot of heroic deeds. However, he later became a monk because he trusted people too much and was betrayed. He became a monk out of frustration.

After learning that monk Wuliang and Li Lianhua had the same experience, Li Lianpeng stopped inquiring.

It's too immoral to expose someone's scars.In addition, at Monk's age, many things can be seen through the eyes, and those that cannot be seen through can't be changed.

Unlike Li Lianhua, she is still young, has plenty of time, and has many opportunities to make up for her regrets and start over.

After Qiao Wanyuan met Li Lianhua, she was summoned away by the maid sent by Xiao Zijin.

Even if Li Lianhua shows up, the connection between her and Xiao Zijin cannot be cut off.

It can be seen that the fate between this girl Qiao and Li Lianhua has ended here.

Thinking about it, Qiao Wanyuan's attitude towards Li Lianhua in the original plot was very mixed. She wanted to let go and start a new life, but she couldn't let go because she felt guilty.

Otherwise, I would not have waited for him for another ten years after writing a farewell letter. During this period, although I never rejected Xiao Zijin's pursuit, I was not really with him.

Only after it was confirmed from Li Lianhua that Li Xiangyi was dead, miserable and disheartened, did he agree to marry Xiao Zijin.

On their wedding day, Jiao Liqiao, a crazy woman, used her as a puppet to test Li Lianhua's identity, and she was poisoned with the poison of Cicada in the Ice.

Out of tolerance, Li Lianhua did not hesitate to sacrifice her longevity and used Yangzhou Manchu to detoxify her from the cicada poison in the ice, so that she was recognized by Qiao Wanbao.

After that, things are simple.

Qiao Wanyuan had already finished worshiping heaven and earth, and Li Lianhua had no intention of getting back together with her, and even sent her blessings.

We can neither treat them as strangers nor lovers, so we can only suppress our emotions, look at each other, smile, and let go.

Now that the two met four years earlier, Qiao Wansheng was not poisoned due to Li Lianhua's involvement, and Li Lianhua did not spend her lifespan to detoxify her, so there was less between the two that made others unbearable. , feeling the unbreakable bond between them.

It's also a good thing.

"Aren't you going to try harder?"

Except for the little monk who delivers food, the temple backyard is almost not open to the public.

Di Feisheng, who was sitting drinking tea, picked up the tea cup and asked.

Li Lianhua was reading a medicinal book, which was collected by Pudu Temple. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

Di Feisheng put down the tea cup, looked at Li Lianhua displeased, frowned and said, "Why have you become like this all these years?"

Li Lianhua put down the book, looked indifferent, and said with a smile:

"Is this bad for me? I don't have to think about fighting and killing every day, and I don't have endless things to do. When I'm sleepy, I just find a place to sleep. When I have nothing to do, I just read a book and learn medical skills. …”

"Come on."

Di Feisheng interrupted ruthlessly:

"The way you look now makes me feel like I'm looking at an old man who is about to die. He doesn't have the vitality of a young man at all. If it weren't for Li Lianpeng urging you to do things from behind, I'm afraid you would just guard your Lotus Building until you die of old age. , and won’t do anything else.”

Li Lianhua smiled and did not answer.

He really thought like this before.

But now, it's different.

This kind of non-fighting, non-grabbing temperament is probably unlikely to change.

But it's not entirely true that he can't do anything.

Now he has a calm mind and has put aside the grudges of the past. He seems to have no desires and desires, but he also has great ambitions in his heart.

That is to become a sword in the hands of the ambitious Li Lianpeng.

A sword that goes forward inexorably and is extremely sharp.

His temperament is not suitable for doing things like visiting the masters of the four sects anymore. It is too tiring, and he is tired of it.

It would be nice to make a sword with a restrained edge.

Di Feisheng shook his head, expressing his incomprehension.

Even though he only wanted to reach the highest level of martial arts, he did not completely give up the Golden Yuan Alliance he once established.

Now I am following Li Lianpeng and the others just to learn more advanced martial arts skills.

That Li Lianpeng and this Li Lianhua are not only a pair of long-lost brothers, their martial arts talents are no worse than Li Lianhua's, or even better!
In the mountains behind Kunlun Jade City, on the day he came out of seclusion, the martial arts shown by the opponent made him see another possibility.

Of course, the premise is to first defeat Li Lianhua, who has now returned to his peak.

Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to challenge Li Lianpeng.

The gap between the two is too great.

There is a natural moat in the middle.

In addition, the main reason is that the battle in the East China Sea, in which he thought he was the winner, turned out to be not really his victory.

But Li Lianhua was poisoned by Bicha.

The other party only lost to him after he became poisonous.

Otherwise, there is a [-]% chance that he will lose that day.

Many years later, when he recalled the details of the fight at that time, he was only [-]% confident that he would win.

"Choose a day and let's have a fight. Li Lianpeng promised me that during the time I am following him, you will compete with me as many times as you want."

Di Feisheng said lightly.

Li Lianhua groaned and said blankly: "Did he say that?"

"Li Xiangyi!"

Di Fei said angrily: "You two brothers don't keep your word, right?!"

As he spoke, there was a clang, and the big sword behind his back was unsheathed.

An invisible murderous intention shrouded him.

His Di Feisheng is so groveling, you really think that I, Di Feisheng, have no temper, right?

"Be calm and don't be impatient. This is a temple. It's not easy for people to wield swords and swords."

When Li Lianhua saw Di Fei's anger, she quickly spoke to comfort her, "A Fei, I regard you as a friend. Let's learn from each other, but we have to choose the right time."

"friend."

Di Feisheng sneered and sheathed the long sword.

"You're just perfunctory with me, and you still think of me as your friend?"

"It's been how long, and we haven't even fought a single match!"

Li Lianhua smiled and said: "No, I have been busy traveling these days and have no time to compete."

"Also, Fei, don't think about fighting with others. This martial arts, when it reaches a certain level, is about cultivating the mind."

"Any martial arts has a bottleneck. During this period, it is difficult to break through unless there is a great opportunity. As far as I know, your Sad Wind Baiyang has not reached the bottleneck yet, right?"

Di Feisheng frowned and said, "How did you know?"

In recent days, Li Lianhua, whose internal strength has recovered and whose mentality has become more peaceful, smiled and said,

"Feel."

"..."

Hearing this, the flute flew silently.

He has indeed not reached the bottleneck period yet.Although his internal strength has now returned to the level he had during the Battle of the East China Sea, because of his battle with Li Lianhua, he felt that he was still far from the third level of the 'Evil Sea Tide' described by Bai Feng Bai Yang.

At that time, I thought I had reached a bottleneck period and urgently needed to fight with Li Xiangyi to find opportunities for breakthroughs and advance to the next level.

At this time, it seems that he may have misjudged his understanding of the realm of martial arts.

"Lianhua, A Fei, ready to eat."

At this moment, Fang Duobing ran out from the side room happily. The young man had a head full of flour and looked quite funny.

“Today’s lunch will include sweet and sour pork ribs and steamed sea bass.”

As he said this, Fang Duobing did not forget to add,
"I made it myself!"

Li Lianhua smacked her lips and muttered in a low voice that she could hear,
"Why did brother agree to teach this kid how to cook?"

Shaking his head, Li Lianhua stood up and responded:

"coming."

Seeing Di Feisheng folding his arms, lowering his head and frowning, thinking about something, Li Lianhua patted his shoulder,

"I don't think about it now. It's lunch time. Let's eat first."

Di Feisheng raised his head and glanced at him, suddenly turned around and walked towards his own room.

"Eh--"

Li Lianhua hurriedly shouted: "A Fei, why are you going?"

"I'm not hungry, you guys eat!"

Di Feisheng didn't even look back. He left these words and left his cool back to Li Lianhua.

Li Lianhua sighed helplessly,

"If you don't eat it, wouldn't it be a hardship for us... Tsk, forget it, I hope Fang Xiaobao will improve his cooking skills this time and won't use salt as sugar anymore..."

……

Fang Duobing is worthy of being the young master of Foodie Villa. In three days, his cooking skills have become as good as Li Lianhua's.

At least, this sweet and sour pork...

"Bah... Fang Xiaobao, what's the matter with you? I told you not to put too much sugar in the sweet and sour pork, otherwise it will make your throat sore. Can't you remember?"

Li Lianpeng slapped her chopsticks on the table and said angrily: "I have never taught such a bad student like you!"

Fang Duobing, who was originally full of expectations, turned red and said angrily:
"I followed the recipes you wrote exactly, how could I add more?!"

"Also, who is your student?!"

Li Lianpeng was noncommittal and pointed at the dishes on the plate, "Try it yourself."

"Taste it!"

Fang Duobing took a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth, and immediately——

"Isn't this delicious?"

Seeing the young man grinning and speaking harshly, Su Xiaoyong took the lead and couldn't help laughing.

"Pfft... ok, ok, Fang Duobing has made a lot of progress. At least this time he didn't mistake salt for sugar. Don't blame him for Lianpeng. Eat another dish."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of fish from the plate and put it into his mouth.

"Well...this fish is okay, come and try the lotus pods."

Li Lianpeng, who was furious, glanced at Su Xiaoyong suspiciously when he heard this.

"really?"

"Uh-huh."

Su Xiaoyong nodded, "Try it and see."

Li Lianpeng glanced at the young man who had his head turned to one side but his peripheral vision was here, then he picked up the chopsticks on the table and took a bite of fish.

"...You have some wisdom, so you didn't waste such a big furnace fish."

"Humph!"

Fang Duobing turned around and said, "I told you that I'm the best at cooking fish, now you believe me!"

Li Lianhua was eating silently on the side without interrupting. Although the sweet and sour pork was a bit sweet, it was not difficult to swallow.

When he was young, he loved to eat sweets, and that hasn't changed to this day.

Seeing Li Lianhua being so generous and eating that sweet and sour pork dish, Fang Duobing was deeply moved.
"Huahua, you better know how to appreciate it. You should eat all this dish."

Fang Duobing pushed the plate in front of Li Lianhua.
"Don't waste it."

Next to the young man, Liang Jiu, who was sitting on a chair but almost as tall as Fang Duobing, glanced at the senior sympathetically, picked up the wooden bucket of rice, and buried his head in it.

He doesn't need to eat vegetables, that's fine.

"By the way, where's Ah Fei?"

Li Lianpeng asked.

Li Lianhua took a sip of the soup and said, "He's not hungry. He went back to his room to rest."

"It's noon, what's the point of resting? It's just right. Fang Duobei has almost ruined the food in the temple in the past two days, so let him go down the mountain to buy it."

Li Lianpeng put down his bowl and chopsticks. He and Su Xiaoyong had already eaten vegetarian food in the temple next door, and he was not very hungry at this time.

Mainly because he didn't trust Fang Duobing's cooking skills. Although the soup cooked by the monks was a bit watery, it still had many merits compared to Fang Duobing's meals.

At least the great monk in the kitchen, for the sake of Monk Wuwu, listened to his advice and followed his instructions throughout the process. The dishes he cooked tasted quite good.

Li Lianhua nodded, finished the rice in the bowl, stood up and left.

It just so happens that I should take advantage of this time to go down the mountain and have a fight with Ah Fei, lest he feel resentful and think that they are not trustworthy.

After finishing lunch, Li Lianpeng looked at Liang Jiu, who was hiccupping with a satisfied look on his face, "Xiao Jiu, please go to Baichuan Courtyard and find the master of the Stone Courtyard to ask her to go faster."

"no problem!"

Liang Jiuwen responded angrily with his fists clasped and strode away.

Su Xiaoyong glanced at Li Lianpeng worriedly.

"Is he really okay? Baichuan Courtyard has announced to the public that we are now the most unwelcome guests of Baichuan Courtyard."

Li Lianpeng said with a half-smile, "They haven't announced our names yet. They only said that they don't welcome Fang Duobing, the young master of Tianji Villa, and several of his friends."

"What does that have to do with us?"

"Also, this Liang Jiu is a disciple of the Divine Fist Sect. Who knows if he is our friend?"

"Are you okay to say that?"

Fang Duobing's eyes widened and he lost his breath.

"You got all the benefits, but in the end I took the blame!"

Mentioning this, Fang Duobing felt quite aggrieved. Even though he had done nothing during this trip, he had inexplicably made enemies of several deans of Baichuan Hospital. He did not know that his mother, who was a close friend of Guangdong, learned about the news. , what kind of expression it is.

However, this further aroused the young man's desire to win.

You don't dare to offend Li Lianpeng, so you just keep bullying me for being sick, right?
hateful!

Ji Hanfo, Bai Jianghe, and Yun Biqiu, please wait for me!

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don’t bully young people too much!

One day, our many illnesses will make you regret it!
"As the saying goes, those who are capable work hard. Fang Shaoxia's name is much louder than mine."

Li Lianpeng said with a smile.

"Damn it!"
