Xiao Li emerged from the storage center of Earth's Core and inquired about the whereabouts of Kairuot. She learned that he had already left "Romantic Beach" and gone to "Hell on Earth."
When Xiao Li arrived at "Hell on Earth," she found herself unable to enter. Anxiously, she paced back and forth, while the tour guide beside her was at a loss because she did not have the key to open the gate to "Hell on Earth." Fortunately, the butler Belden eventually arrived and informed her that Kairuot and Belden had already gone to Luoyang City on Earth.
Xiao Li hurriedly handed all her purchased items to the butler and requested the tour guide to take her toward Luoyang.
Under the guidance of the tour guide, Xiao Li continuously transferred between vehicles without resting, taking two days to finally reach Luoyang City.
Without the tour guide's assistance, it was indeed challenging for Xiao Li to search for Kairuot and Belden in the vast Luoyang City. At that moment, she heard that Guanyin would be at White Horse Temple tomorrow to chant scriptures and preach, attracting all nobles, pilgrims, and tourists to gather there. She quickly headed to White Horse Temple to inquire about the situation, but the monks at White Horse Temple barred her from entering because she did not have an invitation.
Xiao Li initially planned to sneak over the red wall into the temple to investigate, but with crowds everywhere, it was difficult to find an opportunity to leap inside, so she decided to wait until tomorrow.
Xiao Li intended to find an inn near White Horse Temple to stay overnight. However, after visiting several inns that were fully booked, she finally arrived at Luowen Inn. Although the shopkeeper informed her that they were fully booked and not accepting guests, Xiao Li was unwilling to leave. She quietly checked each room and eventually discovered that there was a locked room on the third floor that was unoccupied. She insisted loudly to the shopkeeper, "You clearly have a vacant room; why won't you let a guest stay? Do you believe I will tear down your inn?"
"That room has already been reserved by another guest who has paid; I cannot go back on my word," the shopkeeper replied.
"He paid but isn't coming; I will take his place. If anything happens, I will handle it." Saying this, Xiao Li leaped up to the third floor and stood at the door of the reserved room, shouting down, "Open the door for me!"
Seeing this, the shopkeeper realized he was dealing with someone difficult and dared not make a sound. He had no choice but to ask the clerk to open the door for Xiao Li, allowing her to stay for one night and deal with it later.
Feeling triumphant, Xiao Li attempted to hand money for her stay to the clerk, but he repeatedly waved his hands, indicating he could not accept it.
"Since you won't accept it now, don't blame me later for not paying," Xiao Li said to the clerk. "Alright, I'm tired. If you decide you still want money tomorrow, just find me then." With that, Xiao Li closed the door and comfortably lay down on the bed, falling into a deep sleep.
When Xiao Li woke up, it was already noon of the next day. She glanced at her wristband and felt a pang of anxiety as she scolded herself internally: "Oh no! I almost missed something important by sleeping so long." With that thought in mind, she quickly got out of bed and rushed toward White Horse Temple.
Arriving at the entrance of White Horse Temple again brought back yesterday's situation. Remembering how she had turned in circles before, she ran along the edge of the red wall until she entered a grove beside White Horse Temple. After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and leaped into the air. From above, she surveyed White Horse Temple and saw people coming and going everywhere; only one courtyard had a mound with no one around it. She decided to land there as quickly as possible.
As Xiao Li landed from above, she saw that this was the ancestral graveyard of White Horse Temple. She murmured to herself, "No wonder it's so quiet here."
She followed the small path in the cemetery looking for an exit. Suddenly, a childish voice called out, "Who are you? What are you doing in my temple cemetery?"
Xiao Li saw that it was a Little Monk and quickly put her finger to her lips in a gesture for silence. The Little Monk, not understanding, continued to shout, "Did you come down from the sky?"
Xiao Li nodded, silently agreeing.
"Do you know my master and the Immortal Mistress?"
Xiao Li nodded again, indicating that she did know them. She thought the child was easy to fool. Unexpectedly, the Little Monk suddenly said, "Since you are a friend of my master, you must know my boxing skills. Watch this!"
As he spoke, he threw a punch at Xiao Li while saying, "I know you are a fake!"
Xiao Li dodged his initial attacks—under Kairuot's guidance, the Little Monk's Bel Fist had improved significantly. A series of punches followed that left Xiao Li quite surprised. As she defended herself, she thought: [At such a young age, his Bel Fist flows so smoothly; he must have had someone great teaching him. I need to draw this person out.]
Seeing that Xiao Li only defended and did not counterattack, the Little Monk assumed she had no chance to retaliate. His punches became faster and faster, landing several hits on her but failing to knock her down. After dozens of moves, the Little Monk was already sweating profusely while Xiao Li seemed to be playing along with him without much effort. Eventually, the Little Monk became discouraged and pouted, saying, "I'm not playing with you anymore. Don't go; I'll go find the Immortal Mistress and my master to deal with you."
With that, the Little Monk ran off faster than a rabbit and disappeared without a trace.
To Xiao Li's surprise, she obediently found a stone bench to sit on and wait.
After about half an hour, the Little Monk actually managed to bring his master along.
"Who bullied my disciple? Show yourself!" The voice arrived before the person did.
"It’s me!"
Xiao Li jumped in front of the master and disciple.
Kairuot's face broke into a smile upon seeing her. He quickly pulled the Little Monk in front of Xiao Li and said, "Alright, the misunderstanding is cleared up; this is your Master's Wife. Call her!"
"Master's Wife!" The Little Monk immediately complied, his tone quite sweet.
"You little rascal! Always talking about your master but never revealing his name," Xiao Li said as she patted the Little Monk's head. "If I were to seriously hurt you, wouldn't that be a huge misunderstanding?"
Kairuot interjected, " Belden is giving a lecture on Buddhism in the Great Buddha Hall. Let's hurry back and continue listening to her talk."
Xiao Li was the least interested in such things, but since Kairuot asked her to go, she couldn't refuse and reluctantly followed him into the Great Buddha Hall.
Xiao Li couldn't understand anything that Belden was saying; she didn't want to understand. In her heart, she secretly cursed, "This Belle is just looking for trouble, reciting her annoying twisted scriptures everywhere."
She really couldn't take it anymore and pulled Little Monk Huineng towards the exit. Huineng, captivated by the lecture, was unwilling to leave. She put on a serious face and said, "If you don't listen to Master's Wife, do you still want to learn martial arts in the future?"
As Huineng hesitated, Xiao Li added, "Hurry up, Master's Wife is going to teach you your master's ultimate skill, the Kai Ruo Grappling Technique. If you don't leave now and I change my mind later, you won't get to learn it, and you'll regret it."
With the allure of the ultimate skill, Huineng happily followed Master's Wife.
-
Huineng led Master's Wife to a secluded area behind the Officiate Zen Room, where he told Xiao Li this was where he practiced with his master.
"You really know how to find a place; this is indeed a great spot for training," Xiao Li said as she began demonstrating her Grappling Technique. Each move felt vastly different from what Little Monk had learned before. After Xiao Li finished demonstrating the entire set of the Kai Ruo Grappling Technique, Officiate Yan Shou stood by applauding, "The profundity of martial arts is truly remarkable; I have witnessed it firsthand. If you can pass this set of techniques down in my temple, it will surely flourish."
"Not a problem," Kairuot walked in from outside.
From then on, Kairuot and Xiao Li became martial arts instructors for the monks at the White Horse Temple. They taught them the techniques from Mars and the Capricorn Planet, which were then spread by the monks of the White Horse Temple across various places, igniting a wave of martial arts enthusiasm on Earth.
