Xiaoyaoshanjun

Chapter 146 Taoist Priest
After the porridge distribution was over, Tian Buli returned to the backyard to read.

Soon the damselfly came over with the leopard.

Leopard was holding three bowls placed together.

Bai Lian was watching her son playing in the yard, and when she saw Dou Niang coming, she stood up and smiled.

"Sister Hu."

The dragon lady smiled and said, "We are here to serve you bowls. The porridge just now was really delicious. Leopard and I are clamoring for another bowl. Is there any more in the kitchen?"

Baoer walked to the side embarrassedly and squatted down to play with Xiao Conger.

Cong'er is already over one year old. Not only can he walk, but he can also call his parents and his brother.

There are quite a few children in the village, but Bai Lian would never let her precious son play with ordinary wild boys.

Even Bao'er and the maids of the Hu family were generally not allowed to get close.

But after all, they are neighbors, so Cong'er and Bao'er still know each other.

When Bai Lian heard Damiang say that it was Leopard who was making a fuss for porridge, how could she not know that it was Damiang's idea.

"I'll have to ask the master about this. The porridge provided to the public is definitely gone. I don't know the details, and you can speak to the master better than I can. I'll go ask and he will definitely not have any. You should go ask yourself."

Bai Lian knew her master's temper clearly, and sometimes it was indeed easier to talk to Dou Niang and the two women in the backyard.

The damselfly smiled and said, "It's just a mess. How big of a deal can it be? I'll go ask."

"Okay~" Bai Lian said with a smile, "Cong'er also likes to drink eight-treasure porridge, so I'll trouble you to ask her. But don't say that I asked you to ask."

"Of course not! Don't worry! It was Leopard who insisted on drinking! This child is just greedy!"

The damselfly generously threw all the responsibilities onto her own children.

Leopard didn't dare to say anything, otherwise he would be considered unfilial.

Dou Niang went directly to the backyard. Usually, Tian Buli practiced in the backyard, and the servants were ordered not to go there.

As we walked, we arrived at the backyard.

Four rabbits were doing exercises in the yard, but they quickly stopped when they saw the damselfly.

Soon, the little white rabbit was the first to run into the house, standing in front of the threshold that reached his waist and shouting, "Master, Xiaohu's mother is here."

Tian Buli raised his head and looked outside the door. The sun was shining brightly outside.

Although it is the coldest time of the year, the weather is still very good.

It may be because this world is a world of immortal cultivation, and both the climate environment and soil fertility are far superior to those of the ordinary world.

Especially in terms of climate, Hanyang Province is actually a place with not so good living conditions.

Those wealthy provinces are the ones with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and are suitable for living.

Dou Niang quickly walked to the door, and when she saw Tian Buli, she walked in with a smile.

"Brother Tian, ​​I'm sorry to disturb your practice."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "Nothing, I don't come here often in a year, it's nice to chat."

Dou Niang was very generous and directly stated her purpose: "My child Bao'er is ignorant. He thinks today's eight-treasure porridge is delicious and insists on having another bowl. I want to ask how it is made so that I can make it for him tonight."

When Tian Buli heard this, he said gently, "The method is not complicated, and the ingredients are still available in the kitchen. It's just that if I don't make it, the taste and effect will be slightly worse."

The damselfly asked curiously, "How did this happen? Could it be done by magic?"

Tian Buli smiled and said, "It's not magic, but ordinary people can't make that taste. Besides, I made this porridge to drive away the cold and warm up the body, to prevent adults and children from getting sick during the New Year, and to warm the stomach and intestines."

"The porridge I make is only good to eat once every two weeks. It's not advisable to eat too much. Of course, I don't have that much time to cook porridge."

"It doesn't matter if you want to satisfy your craving. I'll tell you how to make porridge. Let Zhou Jiao and Zhang Xia come and learn. If you don't want to eat, you can cook some porridge to satisfy your hunger."

Dou Niang said happily, "Great!" Tian Buli taught a few people how to make Eight Treasure Porridge.

Although these eight-treasure porridges do not have such obvious nourishing effects, the effects are not bad, just not as sweet.

Sure enough, after the others made it, they could only get ordinary Laba porridge.

Tian Buli himself also needed the help of the blending effect of the medicine furnace, as well as his understanding of various herbs and sugar crops, as well as his control over the heat gained from frequent cooking and boiling medicine, to make the Laba porridge he had this morning.

Even if the others got the medicine furnace, they wouldn't be able to get the proportions right.

Because what the others made was just ordinary Laba porridge, Tian Buli himself also made ordinary Laba porridge without using the medicine furnace. After the others no longer disturbed his practice, Tian Buli began to reflect on the effect of the medicine furnace.

"I had forgotten all this before, but today when I was teaching the damselflies the art of cooking, I just remembered one thing."

"Then the medicine furnace needs more than just mortal fire, right?"

"Would it be more effective if we used a better fire to heat it?"

Tian Buli currently doesn’t know fire magic. He only knows thunder magic, water magic, and he hasn’t learned wind magic yet.

Thinking of this, he stopped worrying about these things and continued to study and practice, seizing the time to improve his shallow cultivation.

A few days later, for Tian Buli it was just time for meditation, practice, reading and martial arts, but for the others it was already the middle of the month and almost the New Year.

It had been several days since Laba Festival, and Bai Lian came into the yard to see Tian Buli, whom she hadn't seen for three or four days.

"Master, Bai Lian is here!" The little white rabbit came over again to deliver the message, which was obviously not needed.

Tian Buli looked towards the door and saw Bai Lian standing outside.

"Come in, what's going on?"

After getting Tian Buli's permission, Bai Lian walked in and said, "Master, it's almost the end of the year, and many people have sent gifts. I saw that you don't have time to take care of them, so I wrote them down. This is the list of gifts for the past few days."

Tian Buli reached out to take the gift list handed to him by Bai Lian, took a look at it, and quickly nodded.

"Okay, that's the arrangement."

Bai Lian took back the gift list and said respectfully, "This year's rent has almost been collected. The diligent servants in the mansion have all stayed, and those who were cunning and unruly have been sent back. We also bought some chickens and sheep from the nearby villages, so we will have enough food for half a month during the New Year."

Tian Buli didn't want to hear these things, "Okay, you guys discuss it, and if you can't handle it well, you can ask me."

"Yes!" Bai Lian agreed happily, but then said embarrassedly: "Master, I have some inconvenient illness recently and it is not convenient for me to go to the clinic. I would like to hear your diagnosis."

Tian Buli said directly: "Okay, tell me what's going on. I have read a lot of medical books, and even if I can't help, I can provide some advice."

Bai Lian was still a little embarrassed, but since they were husband and wife, they naturally wouldn't be too shy about certain things.

"Master, I always feel like there are worms moving in my butt. I want to ask you for some medicine to get rid of the worms, but do I need to take croton seeds?"

Tian Buli frowned, thought for two or three seconds and then said, "It's probably not the Croton's fault. You've probably been sitting in bed for too long, and the blood vessels in your anus are blocked and granulations have grown, so you feel itchy."

Bai Lian was shocked and asked, "What should I do?"

"It's not a big deal. Just wash it with warm water every night before going to bed."

Tian Buli put down the book and said, "I'll get you some medicine. Since there's nothing urgent right now, I'll go build a new toilet with cement so you don't have to endure the dirt all day long."

Bai Lian breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master!"

"We're family, no need to be polite." Tian Buli took Bai Lian out and prepared some medicine for her.

After helping his family solve some common problems, Tian Buli continued to read and study.

Medical-related abilities will not be reflected in the Taoist level and attributes, but they are very useful for Taoists.

Taoist priests are not supposed to be a profession that involves fighting and killing, right?
