Chapter 137 Spring Thunder
"Can you farm?"

Tian Buli's words made the ten girls look surprised.

Not only the ten girls, but even the men from the Zhou family who were accompanying them were at a loss as to what to do.

"Master, what are you asking..." Zhou Shiyou didn't understand why he was asking this.

Tian Buli said, "I want a wife who is contented, who can wash clothes, cook, farm, weave, raise children, and know some poetry and books and numbers, but not too much."

What Tian Buli said was a bit high, but it was also a very low requirement in this world.

Several beautiful women didn't speak, and the rest of the women were also embarrassed and silent.

At this time, a girl who looked like an ordinary girl plucked up the courage.

"I know how to farm. I've been growing vegetables and harvesting wheat for several years."

Tian Buli looked at the young woman who was dressed like a lady but without any makeup.

There has always been good weather and sufficient food around Qitianfu.

The Zhou family is also a big family, and even if you work as a maid, you can eat much better than outside.

Her skin is not as white as the others, but she is not short and her appearance is not bad. She is a pretty girl who is pleasing to the eye, quiet and generous.

The disadvantage is that she does not have the temperament of a so-called lady from a noble family, nor the temperament of a scholarly lady that is popular in this era, and she is not so graceful and luxurious.

There are many kinds of beauty. Some people look more like a concubine than a wife.

Although the girl in front of him looked elegant and graceful, she was from a small family and was only worthy of marrying poor scholars and ordinary men of ordinary temperament.

"Okay, I'm Tian Buli, what's your name, young lady?"

"Zhou Jiao, seventeen years old." Zhou Jiao was a little embarrassed.

There were nine girls around. Some of them frowned and kept silent, some looked calm and indifferent, and some were thinking about something.

Tian Buli said directly: "These few days, we are busy planting crops. There is a six-mu vegetable field near the willow tree at the entrance of the village that has not been plowed. I will give you a hoe. You just need to plow the field before dark. No one else will help you."

Zhou Jiao nodded after hearing this, "Okay!"

Tian Buli did not lower his head and said directly: "Yellow Rabbit, take this girl to the melon field on the road, and White Rabbit will help her get a hoe over there."

Two rabbits were lying under the chair below Tian Buli's butt. When they heard it, they crawled out and stood still.

"Yes! Master!"

Everyone nearby was looking at the two talking rabbits, which were more conspicuous than Tian Buli.

After the two little rabbits took Zhou Jiao out to work, Tian Buli looked at Zhou Shiyou and said, "If she can do it, let her do it. The rest of you can go back."

Zhou Shiyou looked embarrassed, "Well...why don't you choose two more beautiful ones? That way you can get more dowry. To be honest, the one just now is not a legitimate daughter."

Since she is not a legitimate daughter, her mother is not a lady and naturally cannot help much.

If she is a legitimate daughter, her mother's family must be as powerful as the Zhou family, and the dowry will naturally provide more help.

Tian Buli smiled and said, "It's okay, that's fine."

Zhou Shiyou was at a loss as Zhou Jiao’s status was not high enough to be his wife.

After all, the three concubines in Tian Buli's family are all children of large families. It's okay for the Zhou family to marry a legitimate daughter as a wife, but if a concubine's daughter becomes a wife, it will be difficult for the other two families and the Princess's Mansion.

Tian Buli went back to visit his wife and children, while the rest of them waited in the guest room.

In addition to Zhou Shiyou, there were also two legitimate daughters sitting in the room.

Zhou Shujun said, "I think this man doesn't take us seriously. Since we sisters are not worthy of his attention, we should go back and tell my father immediately."

Zhou Huajun also echoed, "This Taoist priest Tian likes women who can farm and fetch water, not talented women. It's not that we don't want to, it's that he looks down on us."

Zhou Shiyou sighed and said, "You two don't know the seriousness of the matter. This is a big deal!"

Zhou Huajun said unhappily, "If we didn't know the seriousness of the matter, we wouldn't have come. Our parents told us to come, so we came obediently. But we have been learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting since we were young. We know the manners and rules of the ladies from wealthy families, but we don't know the skills of those country women."

Zhou Shujun said: "Our Zhou family wanted to marry our daughter to him, but he only accepted a maid to do the work. This is not our fault."

The two sisters did not dare to go against the family, otherwise they would have less dowry in the future and would be looked down upon after they got married.

Now that Tian Buli looked down on them, both of them were happy to go home quickly and marry the rich young men in the city in the future instead of a man who looked like a servant.

Zhou Shiyou was helpless at this time. He never expected that Taoist Tian actually liked women who could farm and work. It was truly an anecdote for the ages!
On the other side, the Yellow Rabbit and the White Rabbit led Zhou Jiao to the melon field.

"It's right here. The master said that the soil here is loose and suitable for growing melons. You should plow it up so that we can grow melons to eat in a few days."

The yellow rabbit stood on the ground and gave the order in a very arrogant manner.

Zhou Jiao listened to the words that seemed to be spoken by a little girl, and looked at this cute rabbit wearing human clothes, and she felt a lot more relaxed.

"Yes, I will do the work."

Zhou Jiao quickly started from the edge of the field, bending down and digging the soil with a hoe.

The little white rabbit was standing at the edge of the field, bored. After watching Zhou Jiao work for ten minutes, he became even more bored.

Soon the little white rabbit and the little yellow rabbit went back to prepare for dinner and ignored the woman.

Zhou Jiao lowered her head and worked. Some villagers passed by and watched curiously. Some asked questions in dialect, but Zhou Jiao ignored them.

Although it was spring, I soon began to sweat profusely, with sweat all over my face and forehead.

When Zhou Jiao was sitting on the ground to rest, two rabbits in the distance held a food box in both hands and ran towards her quickly as if they were carrying a box.

Soon the White Rabbit and the Yellow Rabbit stopped together and put down the boxes that were raised by their four hands.

"The master asked us to bring you food and drink. Eat your fill before you start working."

Zhou Jiao said happily: "Okay, we can definitely finish it before dark!"

The little white rabbit helped to open the box, put its head in the box and smelled it openly, and soon took out the plate in a good mood.

"I'll give you some fried dough."

Zhou Jiao was also hungry, so she came over, squatted down and said, "Do you guys want to eat? I'll share some with you."

"No, eating too much will give me diarrhea." The little white rabbit quickly waved his hand to reject such kindness.

The little yellow rabbit said: "If you feel uncomfortable in your stomach, you can go back to relieve yourself. We will sleep here. Call us if you want to go back."

After saying that, the little yellow rabbit found a place with just the right amount of sunlight and started to bask in the sun and take a nap.

The little white rabbit soon jumped over to take a nap. After Zhou Jiao finished eating, she started working. When she was thirsty, she drank water. If she wanted to go to the toilet, she went back to the toilet by herself.

In the afternoon, the two little rabbits had just woken up and had nothing to do, so they helped with the farm work on a few square meters.

Zhou Jiao was working when she felt someone coming. When she looked up, she saw Tian Buli approaching.

"Master!" Zhou Jiao wanted to get up, but then she felt a pain in her waist.

Tian Buli looked at the melon field where he had been busy for most of the time and said, "It's done now. We can do this tomorrow. I want to ask you, why did you choose to marry here?"

Zhou Jiao was a little confused, and said hesitantly: "This... I haven't thought about it too much. I will definitely get married when I get older. Taoist priest, this is a wealthy family. I don't know much. If farming can keep me here, then farming is enough. Anyway, I can do that."

Tian Buli nodded and said with a smile: "Indeed, you don't have to consider so many things when getting married, as long as you can get along well."

This woman is not as greedy as the others.

"You just need to know how to farm. The same goes for washing clothes and cooking. You don't need to be busy with everything. You just need to understand the hard work involved, know how to do it, and not be cheated by the servants."

"From now on, you are my fourth concubine. Come with me. I have someone prepare a room for you. You can take a shower, change clothes, and meet the other sisters later."

Zhou Jiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed Tian Buli home with the man she was going to be with for the rest of her life.

The two little rabbits followed along, knowing full well that their master was calling them to go back to class and study.

After taking Zhou Jiao home, Zhou Shiyou came again with several of his legitimate daughters.

"Master Tian, ​​it's a good thing for you to have more concubines, but you should also find a wife, right?"

Zhou Shiyou still wanted to marry off several of the Zhou family's legitimate daughters to establish deeper ties, rather than relying on a concubine's daughter who came from a humble background and didn't care about her family.

Tian Buli smiled and said, "No need for that. If any of my descendants has the talent to seek immortality or the Way of the Tao in the future, the mother will be honored by her son and will be the principal wife."

"If you marry a woman now, no matter how noble her status is, you will not be able to have children in the future."

Seeing this, Zhou Shiyou had no choice but to take the rest of the people back to report, but he also left behind a lot of gifts and dowries.

People who practice cultivation are free and easy-going. Tian Buli had his wedding night that very night, which made Zhou Jiao, who was tidying up the melon field that day, understand the pain of the melons.

On the second day after his wedding, Tian Buli went to the mountain to cook medicine again, and practiced diligently as he did day after day.

With the accumulation of Taoism, the speed of practicing Yanxia Qi gradually became different from before.

Farming has already begun at the foot of the mountain. This year, hundreds of acres of land are being cultivated, and even the wild fields in the distance have been utilized.

Tian Village has always been a place with few people and a lot of land. In the past, many good fields were abandoned, and only a hundred or so people could not cultivate too much land.

In the past two years, more and more people have come here, and many of them have brought their families with them. The spring ploughing season is naturally much more lively, with adults, children and the elderly all joining in the effort.

Tian Buli practiced in the mountains, avoiding social engagements, practicing martial arts and reading. He spent the whole day meditating on a rock outside the yard, breathing in and out.

On this day, while I was practicing, I suddenly had an idea.

The next second, thunder rumbled and echoed through the sky.

Tian Buli raised his head and looked at the sky. There was no wind, no rain, and no dark clouds. There was only a sea of ​​clouds that seemed to be alive.

The sea of ​​clouds looks like a coiled dragon, changing with the times and spanning the four seas.

Tian Buli looked at the changing sea of ​​clouds, then closed his eyes and felt the thunder that had merged into the earth.

When thunder sounds in spring, all dormant things break out of the ground - this is called Jingzhe.

"All things in the world cry out and come into the world; all things come out of the vibration, and the vibration becomes thunder."

“The highest good is like water. When it flows, it becomes a stream. When it moves, it becomes a river. When it rushes, it becomes a mighty river. When it shakes, it becomes a sea of ​​stars.”

Tian Buli suddenly realized something and used all his strength to activate the complete Thunder Domination Technique in the mist and air.

Lei Ba's true energy quickly circulated throughout his body.

I had thought about operating this way before, but it was too much of a strain on my body, so I gave up because it hurt.

Now that his body has grown, his mind and character have also comprehended the deeper levels of thunder magic.

When Lei Ba's true energy circulated throughout his body, he no longer felt the previous tingling and sense of difficulty and obstacles. He only felt that the lightning was flowing in his body like blood.

Tian Buli raised his hand, his palm facing a wild tree about ten meters away.

boom!
A bolt of lightning shot out directly from Tian Buli's hand. The silver-white arc hit the small tree directly, instantly igniting the big tree and emitting a large amount of white smoke.

The four little rabbits who were working in the fields nearby were startled and quickly looked nearby. Following the smell of smoke, they saw the big tree burning.

"Fire! Fire!" the little gray rabbit shouted quickly.

The other rabbits ran over quickly and anxiously.

"No more cooking! Put out the fire!"

Tian Buli was just thinking about the palm thunder that he had used most of his magic power to shoot out. When he heard the rabbits' exclamations, he looked over.

Four rabbits came out with brooms and wooden hammers, as well as ceramic basins and earthenware jars to put out the fire.

Tian Buli smiled and stood up, "I'll do it."

Tian Buli walked to the burning tree and fanned it casually.

The smoke quickly dissipated, and the heavy water vapor quickly suppressed the flames, causing the flames of the entire tree to quickly subside, turning from burning to constantly smoking.

Looking at the big tree that continued to smoke after the fire was put out, Tian Buli looked at the black lines on it that were struck by lightning.

"You guys stay here and wait until the fire is out and the trees are cool, then chop down the wood. These woods are all top-quality lightning-struck wood and can be used to make furniture."

"Yes, sir!" The four rabbits looked at the big tree curiously, and then looked up at the sky curiously.

The little white rabbit asked, "Master, there has been thunder these past few days. Can we go back to the house to practice?"

The other rabbits thought so too. Monsters are generally afraid of thunder.

"Okay." Tian Buli agreed with a smile.

I'm in a good mood today.

Not only did he comprehend a thunder technique, the most important thing was that he discovered that the path he was taking was not wrong.

Nowadays, there is no need to learn any profound Taoism or skills. The most correct way to practice is to be patient, continuously accumulate Taoism, and improve your physical fitness and physique.

Once you become strong, learning anything becomes easy.
