Chapter 131 Slave Way
At the Hu family, Hu Yuwei was looking at the unattractive starry night view in the yard.

In the brightly lit room behind me, several women were chatting.

There were lights on in the houses around, and children and relatives were all inside.

While Hu Yuwei was thinking about something, a woman came out from the side room with a yellow fur cloak in her hand.

"My benefactor, it's cold outside and you are weak, so put on this coat to keep warm."

When Hu Yuwei heard the woman's voice, he turned around and looked at the beautiful woman he had just met this morning.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Hu. I am warm enough in my cotton-padded clothes, so I don't need this." Hu Yuwei smiled and said, "Miss, just take a good rest. Those bad guys won't dare to chase you."

"After I resolve this matter, the girl can choose to find a good family or return to her parents' home in the future."

Miss Hu nodded and said softly, "Thank you very much, benefactor!"

At this time, Miss Hu looked forward and saw a young man walking out from the dark night.

The man was not physically strong, but he was steady and powerful, and his movements revealed a deep and fluent skill.

His eyes were like stars in the dark night, shining even brighter under the light from lanterns and nearby houses.

Hu Yuwei was delighted to see the visitor and said, "My benefactor, it's been a long time."

Tian Buli glanced at the woman with a foxy face, raised his hand and said politely to Hu Yuwei: "Mr. Hu, you are too polite. Just call me Mr. Tian."

Hu Yuwei smiled and nodded, "Let me introduce you. This is Miss Hu, who has the same last name as me. She fell into prostitution and escaped from the brothel. I know a little about what's going on here but I don't know how to deal with it. I want to ask you for help to help her solve the problem with the bad guys."

Tian Buli said casually: "This is a small matter. The brothels in the nearby places should at least give me some face, and also give you, the Jinshi, some face."

"Compared to this matter, there is another matter that is more important."

After hearing this, Hu Yuwei smiled and said, "Indeed, I want to congratulate you on the birth of your baby!"

Tian Buli said seriously, "It's not that. A monster injured people in the city today. Anyone wearing fur clothes was in trouble. It's better for this girl to go back and change her clothes."

Hu Yuwei was suddenly startled, and looking at the clothes in the woman's hand, he quickly said, "Miss Hu, leave these clothes with me. If a weak woman like you encounters trouble because of them, what will you do?"

Miss Hu glanced at Tian Buli and quickly lowered her head. "I will do as you say. I have no regrets in escaping the devil's clutches. Even if I encounter disaster, I will die with my eyes closed."

Tian Buli said, "I think the demon only killed the relevant people and didn't implicate the innocent. It didn't care about the furs that weren't from its own tribe. If the girl has worn this dress for several years, then you can keep it."

Hu Yuwei said, "Don't be afraid of a thousand things, just be prepared for the worst. My benefactor, you also said that we should not have the intention to harm others, but we should be on guard against others. We have no relationship with that monster, so we'd better be careful."

Hu Yuwei looked at Miss Hu and said, "Miss Hu, let me keep these clothes for now. Don't worry, I won't embezzle such valuable things. I'll have someone send some jewelry and jade later. I'm not a greedy person, but I just can't bear to see you get into trouble."

As they were talking, Dou Niang came out and said with a smile, "Master, you are really kind to women. Taoist Master You Tian is here. What monsters are you afraid of?"

Tian Buli saw Dou Niang coming out to disrupt the situation, and said helplessly: "Come in and eat. This dress belongs to Miss Hu. She is free to give it to anyone she wants."

Hu Yuwei also laughed and said, "That's right, I was too concerned and confused. What kind of monster is that?"

Tian Buli replied, "It's alright, I've already gone somewhere else. I just want to have a good New Year now, so I won't mention the things in the city, so as not to spoil the fun."

Dou Niang followed up with, "I heard that a lot of people died. Why are you talking about this when the New Year is almost here? Brother Tian, ​​come in and have some wine. If I had known, I would have told you to call Hu'er back."

Tian Buli quickly sat down with a few people to eat.

Together they included Hu Yuwei, Dou Niang, Baoer, Gouer, Gao Fengge, Li Qin, Li Hua and Miss Hu.

There were nine people sitting around the octagonal table, and it looked quite lively.

Hu Yuwei looked around and asked curiously, "Why don't Zhang Xia and Bai Yanhong come to eat?"

Dou Niang said, "I'm going to take care of Cong'er. I'll be there soon."

The dog said happily, "I'm going too!"

Hu Yuwei nodded, raised his glass and said to Tian Buli, "Thank you for your care this year. I'll toast to you."

Tian Buli raised his glass and said, "It's just a small favor. There's no need for us to be so polite."

After Hu Yuwei and Tian Buli drank together, Hu Yuwei paused and said, "I have met many people in Beijing, and I also know the magic of cultivators. If you can cultivate in the future, you'd better not go to the officialdom, because it is very dirty."

Dou Niang said, "What's wrong with being an official? Don't ruin Tian Ge'er's future!"

Tian Buli looked at Dou Niang unhappily, "I'm talking to the master, don't interrupt me all the time. The master is not wrong. Besides, I'm not cut out to be an official. It's too tiring." Li Hua put his hands on his knees and said, "Second Uncle is right. If you become an official, you will have to travel around. You won't have much time to stay at home."

After hearing this, the damselfly suddenly felt that it made sense, but it was too embarrassing to do so, so she stood up and said, "I'm full, let me go to the next door for a walk."

Tian Buli looked at Bao'er and Gou'er, "You two should go over and accompany your mother. There are also many foods in my kitchen. If you two don't want to drink, don't stay here. I don't think you will enjoy the food if you stay here."

Leopard and Gou'er looked at Hu Yuwei, who smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."

The two children quickly and happily followed their mother to the next door.

Li Qin and Li Hua also felt awkward, so they quickly stood up and went to eat at their neighbor's house with the two children.

When only two men and two women were left, Tian Buli asked, "Sir, are you having trouble in the capital?"

Hu Yuwei sighed, "It wasn't going well. After I didn't rank among the top few in this exam, I suddenly felt much more tired. I kept thinking about the time I was bedridden a few years ago."

Tian Buli asked curiously, "Did something happen to you? Feel free to tell me."

Hu Yuwei smiled and said, "Nothing serious. The power in the capital is complicated and intertwined. I have seen many things there. A mere Jinshi is nothing in the capital."

"It's the same with my mentor. I used to think he was fair and honest, but when I arrived in the capital, I found that he was very different. After staying there for a few months, I just felt more and more tired, and the future was bleak."

Tian Buli consoled him, "This is how the world is. For mortals like us, this is a rare peaceful and prosperous time. If you are tired, come back. The world is so big, there is no place for you."

"Tiger will be twelve next year. When he is fourteen or fifteen he will be able to start a family. His tofu business is doing well. Mr. just needs to take care of the dog. Tiger, Leopard and Damselfly have already made arrangements for their futures."

Hu Yuwei and Tian Buli were chatting about things at home and in the city, while Miss Hu and Gao Fengge beside them were listening and eating quietly.

Hu Yuwei could drink a lot, but his health was not good, so he soon felt dizzy.

"I'm going to rest now. While I'm still awake, please help Miss Hu find her family. I'm afraid I'll oversleep and forget about this tomorrow."

Tian Buli didn't know how Miss Hu and Hu Yuwei made up the story, but he nodded and said, "Okay, sir, go and have a rest."

Gao Fengge quickly helped Hu Yuwei back. On the way back, he glanced at Tian Buli and the coquettish woman sitting there, and soon ignored them.

After everyone left, Tian Buli said to the silent woman, "I have no ill intentions. Since the gentleman asked me to help solve the problem, you can ask for anything, please feel free to speak up."

Hu Yin said softly, "You are too polite, Taoist priest. I have no request."

Tian Buli said, "Something happened in the city today. The county city will definitely send someone to deal with it, either tonight or tomorrow morning."

Hu Yin lowered her head. "The Taoist priest has great magical powers. I dare not become his enemy. But now I have nowhere to go. It would be better if I died. That would put an end to everything."

Only then did Tian Buli realize why the monster didn't take action.

Firstly, the things that needed to be done were almost done, and secondly, he might have used up all his magic power by doing them continuously.

The next thing is that after hearing about my own experiences in exorcising demons, they don’t fully understand my own abilities.

And maybe he has the determination to die.

"Go now. You've killed someone. If you stay here, you'll only cause trouble for Mr. Hu. Someone will definitely come to my house tomorrow. It will be hard to say what will happen if they find you."

Hu Yin stood up and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Taoist! I will go back to my hometown in the mountains and practice to become an immortal. I will never come out again."

Tian Buli asked curiously, "Is it easy for you to cultivate and become an immortal?"

"Naturally, it is a thousand times easier than for humans." Hu Yin said calmly: "The righteous path fifty years ago is the evil path today. At that time, both humans and monsters followed the path of slavery. Now that yin and yang are in chaos, the cultivators in the world have no way to become immortals. They are reaping what they have sown!"

Tian Buli frowned, "What nonsense! If it is easy for demons to become immortals, why did you become human beings?"

Hu Yin said sneerily, "We have transformed into demon bodies with magical powers that can cultivate immortality. The more we look like humans, the weaker we are. How dare you say that we demons have transformed into humans? If we become mortals, will we die of old age or illness?"

Tian Buli thought for a few seconds, "What is the way of slavery? Cultivating immortals is so difficult, why do you make it sound so easy?"

Hu Yin quickly transformed into a brown fox and spoke in human language, "Of course, I will become a mount and servant of the immortals. The position of an immortal in heaven is eternal, but the position of a servant depends only on luck!"

"Becoming a servant and mount of an immortal will naturally lead to immortality and longevity."

After the fox finished speaking, he jumped out of the door, quickly jumped onto the nearby courtyard wall, then ran out and disappeared.
