Xiaoyaoshanjun

Chapter 112: Smoke and Clouds Skill

Tian Buli walked out of the wing room, stood at the railing of the Taoist temple and looked at the river outside.

The rainwater called for by prayers seeped into the ground, irrigated the trees, flowers and plants in the city, replenished groundwater and alleviated some of the problems.

The most important thing is to have the rain fall in advance, and coupled with the water conservancy projects built in recent years, the possible disasters have been reduced to a minimum in advance.

The Taoist priest who can call the wind and rain is seen as an immortal by outsiders.

From what Yu Leizi said, the tributes presented in the temple before did have some effect, no wonder a group of young and old were waiting outside to share these tributes.

Combined with the news heard before, these immortal sects will also hold banquets regularly to give some favors to some mortals who have a connection with Taoism.

Yanxia Mountain probably has all kinds of magical herbs, flowers, elixirs, and the like, so a conference can be held every few years.

Tian Buli suddenly thought of those pretentious scholars and Confucian and Taoist monks.

Officials or scholars would probably be too embarrassed to get close, as Taoists don't want to get so close to officials.

So it would be good to be a monk, a Confucian or Taoist monk.

In any case, scholars do have a lot of cleverness.

Tian Buli looked at the river for a while and thought about some things.

Just as I was wondering whether I should go see my master sooner, I heard someone approaching from behind.

Tian Buli turned around and found Qi Daozon and Shen Hanlin approaching.

Seeing the two of them, Tian Buli took the initiative to say politely: "Master Qi, Shen Hanlin, I was just about to say goodbye to you."

Hanlin is an official position. Shen Hanlin is Hu Yuwei's mentor and once advised Hu Yuwei on how to deal with the local tyrants.

Qi Daozon was a disciple of Yanxia Mountain, but everyone assumed he was a member of the imperial court, so they did not address him by his seniority.

Qi Dao Zong smiled and said, "I was planning to invite you to a banquet, but since you have something to do, forget it. We will meet again another day."

Shen Hanlin took the initiative to say: "Master Tian, ​​I heard that you learned Taoism from Master Liuyun. I wonder if you know medical skills?"

Tian Buli did know some medical skills, but they were only basic and common problems.

"I know a little, but I learned it from the medical books sold in ordinary bookstores. I am not as good as the old doctors in the city."

Shen Hanlin sighed.

When Tian Buli saw him sigh, he knew something was wrong.

Do not ask.

He was Hu Yuwei's master. Tian Buli knew this man, but they had little contact, so he didn't ask him why he sighed.

There are so many things in this world that are mostly caused by mediocre people worrying about themselves. Tian Buli does not ask others to be grateful to him, nor is he a kind-hearted Bodhisattva.

Qi Dao Zong took the initiative to say, "Shen Hanlin's mother has caught a cold these past two days, and it just so happens that we are praying for rain today. I wanted to bring back a tribute to help my mother get rid of the cold, but I didn't expect that it would be impossible."

When Tian Buli heard about this, he understood why he sighed.

The old man is in poor health and it is difficult to cure his illness.

Firstly, the tribute is really effective, and secondly, the old man also believes in it, so his mood improves and he feels more energetic.

However, Tian Buli was unable to help as the tribute had already been divided up by the Taoists.

Tian Buli now had a deeper understanding of the principle he had just explained to Weiming.

If you don't finish eating the tribute you just received and insist on leaving some, you will probably be in trouble.

If he knew about Shen Hanlin in advance and kept the tribute food for Shen Hanlin after receiving it, he would still be in trouble if the prince and the high officials saw it, and he might even be begged to do something disadvantageous.

You must keep the things God gives you and not give them to others.

Should you give up the opportunities and positions for self-improvement to others, betting that they will repay you, or betting that you can remain lucky forever?
"By the way, is this thing for the Taoists in this temple, or for others?"

Tian Buli couldn't help, and he didn't want to get involved and cause resentment, so he just talked about the rules.

Qi Dao Zong replied: "There is no fixed number for this, but when we can get it will definitely depend on the arrangements of the immortals."

Tian Buli immediately diverted the issue away, as long as it had nothing to do with him.

Everyone assumed that the Taoist priest would be the one to distribute the spoils, so if they didn't get any, they could only consider themselves unlucky.

Tian Buli did not give others hope. Yu Leizi also finished the ritual and waited for his disciples to change into spare clothes before leaving without wasting a moment.

Now that Yu Leizi is gone, all the tributes have been eaten up, even the incense burners and various command flags and magical instruments have been taken away, leaving nothing behind.

Taoists always behave like this, no wonder monks have so many followers.

Shen Hanlin has also accepted this assignment. No one in the prince's family has a solution, so what can a small Hanlin scholar like him do?
He came over to talk, holding on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that Tian Buli was also a Taoist and might be able to find a solution.

If there is not much hope, then there will naturally not be much disappointment either, and one will not feel resentful just because others cannot help.

Shen Hanlin asked, "Where is Taoist Master Tian going?"

Seeing this, Tian Buli could not say he was going to Yanxia Mountain, fearing trouble.
"Of course I'm going home. I've seen this method, and people have seen it. I've watched the changes in the world and seen the method of supernatural powers. Hahaha, I'm satisfied."

Tian Buli clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Master Qi, Shen Hanlin, I'll take my leave first!"

Qi Daozong said quickly: "Wait a minute, I'll have someone take you back, it will be faster this way."

Tian Buli had wanted to respond to this a long time ago, so he stopped and said, "Master Qi, I'm not being polite to you, but I've walked here many times, and I've ridden in your carriages and sedan chairs, and after all the calculations, I still run faster."

After hearing this, Qi Dao Zong explained, "I believe this. I can run for half a day, but it's just a waste of energy. It's better to sit in the carriage and relax."

Tian Buli said: "This is the difference in thinking. You want to be comfortable on your feet, but you have to bear the weight of the carriage or sedan chair. Although I work harder, I can save a thousand pounds of weight, walk briskly, and get home early and comfortably."

Qi Dao Zong seemed to be lost in thought. Tian Buli had made his words very clear, hinting at the problems in his family.

If they still don't understand, there is nothing to say. Taoists basically won't try to persuade stubborn people or fools.

On the contrary, Buddhism often does things to awaken fools, which is very popular among the people.

Qi Dao Zong quickly said politely: "Thank you for your reminder, Taoist Priest."

Tian Buli's identity as a Taoist priest has been confirmed. Although he has not officially registered to become a Taoist priest, Yu Leizi has acknowledged him as a member of Yanxia Mountain in front of everyone and his disciples, so he is naturally one.

"I have something else to do. Bye."

Tian Buli left very quickly, but after staying for too long those dignitaries and royal relatives would come over to talk to him again.

I was not in a hurry to go back, I went to ask Gou'er about the matter, and I felt relieved when I learned that the general and other warriors did not make things difficult for us. It was not the case before, and it will be even less likely in the future.

Now he has the support of the nearby Taoist sect behind him. As long as he doesn't do anything big that will alarm the Holy Emperor, he will basically have no obstacles.

When practicing Taoism in a Taoist temple, the elderly and children in your family will naturally be taken care of by the locals, and you will live a safe and worry-free life.

Tian Buli ran back quickly and reached home in less than a day.

The rabbit monsters all thought that this time it would take ten days or half a month, but they didn't expect Tian Buli to come back so soon.

Tian Buli sat down and drank some water to moisten his throat. The little black rabbit and three little rabbits came up to Tian Buli and looked up.

"Master, why did you come back so soon this time? Did you learn nothing?"

Tian Buli put down the water bowl and said with a smile: "It's not that I didn't learn anything. I did learn a lot of things and saw the magical power of the Taoists to call the wind and rain."

The little yellow rabbit asked: "Master, have you learned to call the wind and rain?"

Tian Buli explained: "That is not something that can be learned casually. It is a procedure. How can it be learned casually?"

The four rabbits thought about it seriously, then quickly looked at each other, but still didn't quite understand.

The little white rabbit thought of something, "Can we learn this?"

"I don't know." Tian Buli couldn't answer this kind of question because he really didn't know.

The little yellow rabbit looked at his sister and taught her a lesson: "Wait until the master learns it, then it will be our turn."

The little white rabbit became happy.

"Yes! The master will teach us. After we learn, we won't be afraid of rain. I hate rain the most."

Rainy days are very bad for rabbits. Their fur will get wet, and they can't run outside as they are prone to slipping.

Tian Buli himself was also interested in the magical power of calling the wind and rain, but he also knew that this kind of magical power was not something he could master at the moment.

After letting the four rabbits go out to play, Tian Buli thought about Yu Leizi's advice.

"Now that I have cultivated the Niupi Kungfu to perfection, the enhancement of my body has nothing to do with the Niupi Kungfu. It is all about strengthening my bones, body and spiritual roots."

"I have also cultivated the internal strength of Thunder Tyrant Power. The palm technique that Lan He taught me is about gathering Qi and transforming it into water. The technique contained in the token that Master gave me is about transforming water into Qi."

"Whether it's the Thunder Sect, the Water Sect, or the Cloud Sect, the evolution of water vapor is the foundation of Yanxia Mountain. The functions are the same, but the emphasis is different."

Tian Buli quickly called over Rabbit Lady, "I'm going to practice outside. You take the black rabbit and the gray rabbit to protect me nearby. Don't get too close to me, and don't let any wild animals get close to me."

The bunny girl quickly complied with the order, "Yes!"

The rabbit lady quickly took the iron sword, threw a few throwing knives, and called the black rabbit and the gray rabbit to follow her.

The yellow rabbit and the white rabbit sweep the floor, cook, grow vegetables and feed chickens at home.

After arriving near the clear spring on the mountain, Tian Buli sat down under a big rock and practiced three basic skills at the same time.

"The method of sitting in meditation is to create thunder in the heart."

"Water Gathering Palm Technique, a broad mind."

"Liuyun Heart Technique, the rosy clouds are filled with energy!"

Tian Buli sat on the stone and began to perform palm techniques with his hands according to his own understanding.

It was not the palm technique that Lan He taught Mr. Hu after he passed the imperial examination last time.

Lan He only performed that set of palm techniques for more than half a minute before he was too tired to continue. Tian Buli supplemented the movements for the last few seconds based on his feelings, and at the same time changed the movements that he felt uncomfortable in the beginning.

It doesn’t matter if he has health problems, Tian Buli knows it himself, and this is his biggest advantage over others.

After the palm technique was performed, blue vapor began to appear in front of the body.

This kind of thing could have been done a long time ago, because he thought Lan He could do it, so Tian Buli didn't feel it was so amazing after he did it himself.

If you think about it carefully, you have been practicing the Spring Breeze Gathering Rain Palm diligently two or three times a day, except when you are often out. You can practice it all the time, which means it has been eight or nine months.

After practicing for eight or nine months, it wouldn't be too outrageous to be able to gather a solid, blue, shaking ball of water in front of you, right?
In terms of internal strength alone, this is considered to be a top-level internal skill.

It’s just that Yanxia Mountain is an immortal sect. Compared with the cultivation method of the disciples of the immortal sect, this thing is only used for cultivation.

After the Lei Ba internal energy in his body began to spread to his upper body, Tian Buli gradually introduced the water ball into his body.

These water masses are actually very aggressive, and doing this is very dangerous.

Fortunately, Tian Buli's body was accustomed to absorbing water vapor in the early morning and evening. In addition, some of these water masses were condensed outward by themselves. When they returned wrapped in a large amount of air vapor, they did not cause much damage.

There was pain, but it was not so severe due to the paralyzing effect of Lei Ba's true qi.

These two alone would only cause double the damage to the body. Fortunately, as soon as the two met in the body, they began to transform into mist and water vapor.

Part of the mist emerged from the body and turned into dust and rose up under the illumination of the summer sunset.

Most of the water vapor remained in the body, flowing through the body with the Liuyun Heart Technique, warming the eight extraordinary meridians that were destroyed by Lei Ba's internal force.

As the three kinds of internal energy flowed together in the body, they quickly turned into an internal energy, and the turbid air in the body began to be slowly discharged.

After practicing for half an hour, the sun set. Tian Buli opened his eyes in time and stood up from the stone.

"Okay, let's go back and eat."

The rabbit lady was meditating nearby. When she heard it, she stood up, picked up her sword and followed.

The little black rabbit and the little gray rabbit had been playing on the grass nearby for two hours. The little black rabbit was riding on the little gray rabbit and hitting her.

Hearing their owner's call, the little black rabbit and the little gray rabbit quickly got up from the grass, chased after him and followed him home.

Smoke rises from cooking fires at the foot of the mountain, and in the bustling city at the far end of the distance, people are also busy trying to make a living, or engaging in all kinds of intrigue, wealth, family affairs, and other grudges.

One day and one night, and another night and one day.

Within half a month, Tian Buli had mastered the three basic skills. While practicing Taoism to strengthen his body and comprehending the changes of supernatural powers, he also acquired the ability to emit true Qi and injure people with thunder, water, and air.

For example, Qi Dao Zong could use his internal force with just one palm to repel someone from a distance.

In terms of the ability to injure people with internal energy, Tian Buli has only reached the level of Qi Daozon last year, but everyone knows the gap between the two.

After practicing for two months, Tian Buli went directly to Yanxia Mountain to meet Taoist Liuyun when summer was about to end.
