Lee Xian, Cultivator of Guyon

The Presence of Mei Ling

Xian, sitting in the middle of the roomy classroom, looked at the excited faces of his students. The air in the room was calm, and the morning sunlight radiated through the window, illuminating the room with warmth.

"Today," Xian said with a friendly smile, "we will embark on a unique journey in silat science. We will learn the importance of laughter in cultivation. Laughter is not just for entertaining, guys, but it can also be a powerful weapon in battle."

His disciples looked at Xian with great curiosity. They had heard about this unique philosophy of their teacher, but this was the first time they would get a direct lesson on this concept.

Xian invited everyone to sit in a relaxed meditation position. He wanted them to start this lesson with a calm and open mind.

"To understand the power of laughter," Xian said in a calm voice, "we should start with relaxation. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and feel the breath in and out of your body."

The disciples followed Xian's instructions carefully. They feel their breath calm and focus on their own breathing. The atmosphere in the room became increasingly peaceful, and daily worries began to feel distant.

Xian continued, "When you feel completely relaxed, imagine a moment in your life full of laughter. It can be a funny memory or a joke that makes you laugh out loud. You can let a blushing smile on your face."

Along with Xian's hint, the disciples began to ponder and let the memories of the funny and laugh-filled moments fill their minds. Some of them started smiling happily.

"Well," Xian said softly. "Now, open your eyes and look at each other. Share those funny moments with your classmates. Let laughter fill this room."

In an instant, the originally quiet room turned into a boisterous laughing joking spot. Students tell stories of funny moments in their lives, and their laughter flows freely. Even Xian himself laughed out loud listening to those stories.

After a while, the atmosphere calmed down again. Their laughter subsided, but their facial expressions remained cheerful.

"Thank you guys" Xian said. "That's a good start. Now, let's continue with our lesson. Laughter is a powerful weapon, and we will learn how to use it wisely in our silat."

They all sat down with a deeper curiosity, ready to understand more about this unique concept. For them, this lesson about laughter is the beginning of a journey full of happiness and new knowledge in their silat.

After a calming meditation session, Xian decided to share his personal, laughter-filled experience with his students. He wanted them to understand how important happiness is in everyday life.

"You know," Xian said with a smile, "laughter is not just about silat. Laughter is an important part of our lives. It's a funny story from my childhood that taught me the meaning of joy."

All the eyes of his disciples were fixed on Xian, ready to listen to the story. They knew that this was a rare opportunity to hear a personal story from their teacher.

"When I was a child" Xian began to recount, "i was very fond of cakes, especially those made by my mother. One day, while mom was busy with homework, I saw a very delicious cake on the kitchen table. I felt really like tasting it, but I knew mom would get mad if I took it without permission."

His students listened attentively, waiting for the continuation of the story.

"I have a sneaky idea," Xian said with a chuckle. "I took a piece of white cloth from the closet and wrapped it around my face like a ninja mask. Then, slowly, I crept closer to the cake table."

"However," Xian continued with sparkling eyes, "when I was about to reach the cake, the white cloth suddenly fell down and covered my face completely. I really can't see anything!"

The disciples were now laughing loudly, imagining a helpless Xian under his white cloth.

"And just then," Xian said, "my mother suddenly walked into the kitchen. He saw that strange 'ninja' in the middle of the kitchen. We both laughed out loud. I was embarrassed but also very happy, because I managed to make mom smile."

Everyone laughed together, feeling the excitement of the story. They could feel a moment of happiness in Xian's story.

Xian continued, "It was one of those funny moments in my life that taught me how precious laughter was. Laughter not only makes us happy, but it can also strengthen relationships with the people we love."

He saw the expression on the faces of his understanding disciples. They begin to understand how important happiness and laughter are in their lives.

"We all have funny stories in our own lives" Xian said, ending the story. "And we will learn how to combine this laughter with our silat. Laughter is a powerful weapon, my friends, and we'll use it wisely."

Hearing their teacher's words, Xian's students felt inspired and excited to continue the lessons of laughter and silat. They realized that silat was not only about physical techniques, but also about a happy and laughing soul.

While Xian continued his story of a funny childhood, the atmosphere inside the classroom grew warm and full of laughter. His students laughed cheerfully at his story of how he was almost caught stealing a cake with his own ninja mask. They realize that laughter is an important part of today's lesson.

However, when Xian reached the top of the story, when he and his mother laughed together after the incident, the sound of the classroom door opened. All eyes were immediately turned towards the door, and that was when a woman appeared with a wide smile.

The woman was Mei Ling, an old friend of Xian's who was rarely seen in college. In her humble appearance, Mei Ling looked like someone who had gone through many adventures.

Xian smiled happily when he saw Mei Ling. "May Ling!" he shouted enthusiastically. "What brings you here?"

Mei Ling stepped inside the classroom with a gleaming step. "I heard that something interesting happened at this college, Xian. I was curious, so I came to see it with my own eyes."

The Xian disciples who had just laughed with the funny stories of his childhood were now observing Mei Ling's arrival curiously. They felt that the presence of Mei Ling would definitely add to the excitement of today's lesson.

Xian kindly introduced Mei Ling to his students. "This is Mei Ling, my old friend. He is someone who has a lot of experience and interesting stories to tell. His presence will definitely make our lesson today more special."

Mei Ling smiled and saluted everyone. "I'm happy to be here, and I'm ready to learn together with you."

Xian again led the lesson on laughter in silat, this time with greater vigor due to the presence of Mei Ling. The students listened enthusiastically, and a cheerful atmosphere continued to fill the classroom.

With the presence of Mei Ling, the lessons of laughter and happiness came to life. The students feel that this lesson will take them on an unforgettable journey, and they are grateful for the opportunity to study with their teacher and their long-time adventurous teacher friend.
