Chapter 147 New Year’s Eve
Most of the practitioners are monks, who are not concerned with worldly matters or disturbed by worldly affairs.

After the Chinese New Year, Tian Buli's home was bustling with activity.

"Aunt, Happy New Year to you!"

Four young children came over to wish a happy new year. Under the smiling gaze of the adults, they knelt down and kowtowed to Bai Lian, who was sitting in the head seat in the hall.

"Okay, all is good." Bai Lian smiled and grabbed some silver from the box brought by the maid next to her and gave it to these young people as rewards.

The room was bustling with activity. Although there were only Bai Lian's relatives there, there were more than a dozen people gathered together, and there was almost no room left in the room.

The adults sat on a few chairs and chatted, while the younger ones and those of lower status stood in the back and listened.

There were two or three-year-old children about the same age as Xiao Cong'er in the room. They quickly started playing together after they came over. There were also young men and women in their teens who came with their parents to visit relatives.

It's lively here, and the rest of the place is not bad either.

Li Hezhen sat on the kang holding her baby who was not even a month old, with a quilt covering her body.

Mrs. Li and her sister were sitting near the warm kang. The men came into the house to talk for a few words, looked at the children, and then set up a table in the yard to drink and eat.

The Lan family is a noble family with outstanding military achievements, while the Li family is a family of scholars that has produced many high-ranking officials.

The Zhou family is also a noble family, involved in both civil and military affairs, but Zhou Jiao's status is lower. This time it was her parents who came with her brothers and sisters to pay New Year's greetings.

Although we are not out of the province, the distance is not short, more than a day's journey, so we are normally distant relatives who we don't contact very often.

Tian Buli would not come out to chat about family matters. During the New Year holidays, he would still practice quietly in the house. He would not go out unless it was something important, and let others talk about him in the house.

The five rabbits have been practicing, sleeping, eating, and pooping in the house these days.

Winter is a good time to sleep. Just eat and sleep.

The four rabbits have not completely broken free from their nature and still feel sleepy.

Bunny practiced with Tian Buli, reciting Taoist scriptures and practicing the art of levitation.

There is no need to find a place to jump off when practicing levitation. As long as you jump and chant the mantra on the spot, your practice will be considered successful as long as your body does not fall to the ground.

Tian Buli closed his eyes and practiced. When he opened his eyes and walked out of the yard, the spring snow had already melted and the guests in the yard had left more than ten days ago.

The yard is quiet and ethereal, but if you listen carefully, you can also hear the hustle and bustle of the mundane world.

Tian Buli's cultivation had improved a little bit. His height of 1.7 meters had reached its limit, while his other attributes were all increasing.

Even the life span has exceeded one year.

After standing in the yard for a few minutes, I soon saw the little rabbits that had been locked up in the house for a few days coming out to bask in the sun.

The four rabbits are usually very active. Except for sleeping and pooping, they are particularly noisy at other times, even when eating.

Fighting and playing together is a common occurrence, but they will also help each other lick their fur and sleep together.

They worked together, carried things together, ate together, practiced together, and read and studied together.

"You five should practice martial arts and keep fit here. When we return to the mountain, I will start teaching you some skills to prevent you from being bullied by bad guys and pigs and dogs."

The rabbits all looked over here and said happily, "Thank you, Master!"

Tian Buli said to Black Rabbit, "Black Rabbit, you have been recovering from your injuries for more than a year. It is time to rekindle your fighting spirit. You must not give up and bury the way to become a strong rabbit in your heart."

Black Rabbit remembered that he hadn't been strong for a long time.

Thinking of this, Black Rabbit quickly laid on the ground with his paws and kowtowed to Tian Buli with his head to the ground.

"Thank you for the reminder, Master! I almost forgot the way of the strong rabbit!"

Tian Buli left with a smile and went to the front yard to see his wife and children.

As soon as Tian Buli left, Little Black Rabbit looked at his three sisters seriously.

"Sister! Help me practice!"

The three little rabbits immediately became dejected, knowing they were going to be kicked again.

The three of them are the stepping stones on the road to becoming a strong rabbit.

Tian Buli quickly had dinner with the six women in the family and chatted about some things.

A few days later, after taking care of these women for a few nights, he returned to the mountain to meditate again.

He devotes himself to practicing Taoism every day, and when he has free time, he teaches the little rabbits martial arts and makes food to improve their lives.

Rabbit Girl's aptitude is not good. She has been meditating for a long time without any progress. She is also unable to cultivate smoke and mist energy and levitation, so she focuses on martial arts and the art of transformation.

The little rabbits only sit in meditation quietly with Tian Buli at the beginning and middle of each month. The rest of the time, they eat and drink their fill, do boxing, run, and dig holes, living happily every day.

There is no time in the mountains, and all things have their own way.

At the beginning of summer, Tian Buli's cultivation made further progress.

External Qi 20, Internal Qi 62, Body Bone 7, Root Bone 7, Face Bone 1.83, Spiritual Root 10.15, Taoism 1 year and 10 months, Fortune 1
Lifespan: 22/185
Although he wanted to accumulate two years of cultivation before going down the mountain, he might not have enough time. If he wanted to go to Yanxia Mountain alone, he could just use the Payun Feiji technique to get there.

The main reason is that there are various things to deal with at home.

"Rabbits, go down the mountain."

Tian Buli called the four rabbits over, and the rabbit lady who was washing dishes also started to pack up.

Four rabbits quickly came running over.

Tian Buli looked at the four little rabbits. They were a little bigger than before, and their strength had indeed increased a little.

"I'm going down the mountain to arrange some things. I'll arrange a courtyard for you. I'll let Zhang Xia and Bai Yanhong bring you food. You can run back and forth between the two courtyards, but don't run out and don't talk to strangers, so as not to get cheated."

Black Rabbit quickly said, "Don't worry, Master. I am not a vegetarian!"

"I'm not a vegetarian either!" the little white rabbit rushed to prove himself.

The little gray rabbit said anxiously: "Don't worry, sir. We are not afraid of anything flying in the sky, swimming in the water, or running on the road in this mountain!"

The little yellow rabbit had nothing to say, feeling that it had nothing to do with him, so he stretched out his foot and kicked his neck to scratch his itch.

The rabbit lady smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will take good care of these rabbits."

There was a reason why Tian Buli arranged the four rabbits in the yard at the foot of the mountain. Before, they were all taken care of by the rabbit lady, so there was no problem even in the mountains.

"I plan to bring you along when we go to the banquet at Yanxia Mountain this time. You don't have enough talent, and I can't teach you much. Why don't you come with me to eat some blessed food and increase your Taoism and lifespan."

The rabbit lady was surprised at first, then overjoyed, and said gratefully: "Thank you very much, sir!"

The four little rabbits looked up at the scene curiously, knowing that another good thing had nothing to do with them.

Tian Buli thought a lot and found that if he had to bring someone to the banquet, Rabbit Girl would be the best choice.

First of all, the Tianyue Dynasty didn't care about the monster monks. Master Taoist Liuyun knew that he had raised five rabbit monsters, and many people in Qitian Mansion also knew about it.

Even when the fox demon caused trouble last time, no one implicated the rabbit at home.

Generally, when monks cause chaos, they do not implicate the Taoist priests. People with a little status and ability will not take the opportunity to cause trouble to the monks, and they all treat it as a normal emergency.

There is not much risk in taking Bunny Girl out, and Bunny Girl is the only person around me at the moment. If her strength improves quickly, I will feel more at ease when I travel by myself in the future.

After leading the rabbit lady and the four little rabbits to fly up the clouds and land near the previous hut, Tian Buli took them down again.

In the past, my master always advised me not to show off in front of others.

Now it’s my own experience and understanding, so I won’t create too much trouble.

I am floating back home today, and there is no guarantee that someone will come to see me as a deity in the future, asking for all kinds of useful or useless help, or kneeling in front of my door asking me to be a hero or to donate money.

By then, not to mention the nearby bandits, even the family's own servants would be thinking about where the elixir or valuable treasures are hidden.

The treasures of the immortals will never be stolen, and Tian Buli also doesn't think that no one will dare to steal things from his home.

So just be an ordinary Taoist priest. Unless you are an orphan practitioner who wants to leave after having fun, you don’t mind being too ostentatious.

"The Taoist priest is back!"

When villagers who were building a road nearby saw them, they quickly greeted them.

Tian Buli smiled and nodded, then walked past the road.

When they arrived at the door of the house, Bai Lian came to greet them holding her son's hand.

"master!"

Tian Buli smiled and said, "Okay, let's go in and talk. Are Li Heshu and Zhou Jiao pregnant?"

Bai Lian also smiled, feeling proud of her master's abilities.

"We have been paying attention to this matter since you left. Zhou Jiao is pregnant, but Li Heshu is not. Master, you have to work harder."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "I will rest at home for four or five days, then I will take Rabbit Lady to Qitian Mansion, and then go to Yanxia Mountain for a banquet."

"Yes, I'll ask someone to arrange a vegetarian meal." Bai Lian was a little surprised, but also accepted it.

Those who attend the Xianmen Banquet are all chosen ones, such as Princess Hanjiang and Qi Daozon.

Bai Lian was a little maid. Although she was good at riding horses, raising horses, driving carriages, washing clothes, cooking, taking care of children, farming, weaving and fighting, she was definitely not presentable.

Being able to be in charge of the Tian family now is a good outcome that he had never thought of before. In addition, he also has the eldest son of the Tian family, so he is naturally satisfied.

Especially since Tian Buli had no plans to get married, Bai Lian had always been treated as a lady.

After resting at home for a few days, Tian Buli took Rabbit Girl to the country road and quickly used his Qinggong skills to leave everyone's sight.

After running to the fields, Tian Buli used the technique of flying on the clouds and flew up to the sky with the light-bodied rabbit girl sitting in his arms, floating in the sea of ​​clouds.
