Chapter 158: Convincing people with reason
"Damn it! This is too much!"

The Taoist priest Shuiyan sat up from the golden couch and cursed angrily.

Five disciples were kneeling on the ground nearby.

Hua Ying, who was wearing a black cloth, said quickly: "Master! Tian Buli took my life without a word, and then beat my third brother to death. Fortunately, I had a protective magic weapon on me so I could escape, but my face was also destroyed by that beast. I have no face to see anyone!"

"Master! Please help me and avenge my brother!"

Hua Ying knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. She was shocked and scared at this moment. The tears she shed were all out of genuine grievance.

Taoist Shuiyan sat on the couch with a frown on his face, saying nothing. "How old is that kid? Even if he has been practicing martial arts since he was young, it is impossible for him to leave you two with no chance to fight back."

The senior brother Cang Gu said, "I heard from Qi Dao Zong that this person has been practicing for less than three years and has only been practicing martial arts for three or four years, but he has made rapid progress. Every time we meet, I can feel that he has made obvious progress."

"Also, I heard that when he first killed someone, he was afraid and knew to run away, but later he became more and more skilled, and could kill demons as well as humans."

Senior Sister Han Qingwei also said: "When I came here, I asked the other junior sisters, and it is said that Tian Buli has mastered the art of flying, the art of walking through walls, the thunder spell, the sound roar, and several Taoist techniques in the Smoke and Mist Art."

Taoist Shuiyan said coldly: "Senior Sister Liuyun has accepted a good disciple!"

After saying this, the Taoist priest Shiyan didn't want to lose face.

"Please ask Senior Brother Yu Leizi and Junior Brother Feng to come over. I'm going to ask Senior Sister Liuyun for justice!!"

Taoist Shuiyan said again: "Qingwei Huaying come with me, the rest of you leave!"

"Yes! Master!" The others quickly retreated.

Yu Leizi and Chen Liufeng were both busy and couldn't be called upon immediately.

If they didn't come, the Taoist priest Shiyan didn't dare to go there himself, and kept sending people to urge them.

*
Tian Buli took the time to meditate and practice to restore his magic power.

After six or seven hours, when the sunset was almost setting, a few people were seen flying in the distance.

Tian Buli quickly stood up and stood in front of the pavilion waiting.

There were five people in total. In addition to Hua Ying and Yu Leizi whom I knew, there was also a cold-faced beautiful woman who looked to be in her thirties, a Taoist priest with a white beard who was in his sixties, and a beautiful senior sister who looked like a princess.

Tian Buli bowed with both hands and saluted, "Disciple Tian Buli greets all the senior uncles and senior uncles."

Yu Leizi nodded and said nothing.

Taoist Shuiyan stared at Tian Buli and said, "You killed my disciple, you will pay with your life today!"

Tian Buli quickly knelt down on one knee.

First, kneeling is more convincing, and second, kicking is more explosive.

"Uncle Master, calm down! I hit your two beloved disciples, it was wrong! Please punish me!"

When Tian Buli knelt down, Shuiyan Taoist was a little surprised, but soon said in a cold voice: "Okay! Since you know you are wrong, I will kill you to avenge my apprentice!!"

Yu Leizi and Chen Liufeng both looked at Tian Buli. This kid had been accumulating strength since the moment he knelt down.

"Junior sister is still so irritable."

Taoist Liuyun's voice came from the house.

Taoist Shuiyan was not surprised, as he knew from the beginning that Taoist Liuyun was nearby.

"Senior Sister! Why don't you come out and talk?" Taoist Shuiyan said in a bad tone, as if he was looking for trouble.

Chen Liufeng looked towards the pavilion. Taoist Liuyun had been sitting there since the beginning.

Soon several people looked over there and found Taoist Liuyun.

Taoist Liuyun smiled and said, "Junior sister, I have been sitting here all the time. It is you who have been wandering around in worldly affairs for so long that you have forgotten the mist on the mountain."

Taoist Shuiyan is not as skilled as Taoist Liuyun. Even if he came here to seek face this time, he used the sect rules to force the other two to come and uphold justice.

"Senior Sister! Look at the good things your disciple has done! He killed my disciple, how do we deal with this?!"

Taoist Liuyun smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Your two disciples bullied my young and ignorant disciple, stole his magic weapon, and ruined his Taoist heart. Just kill them. Besides, my disciple has already admitted his mistakes. What else do you want?"

The tone was like a senior sister lecturing a junior sister, advising her to be magnanimous.

Taoist Shuiyan didn't regard her as his senior sister at all, and said angrily: "My disciple made a mistake, I will punish him! Since your disciple killed someone, he should die to atone for his crime!"

Taoist Liuyun said, "Junior sister, what you said is right. You punish your disciple yourself, and I will punish my disciple myself. Disciple, quickly apologize to your uncle Shuiyan."

Tian Buli stood up and said respectfully to the angry Shuiyan Taoist: "My disciple has only been practicing for a short time. It is my fault for offending my uncle this time."

"Before I became your disciple, I met Princess Hanjiang of Qitian Mansion. At that time, Princess Hanjiang sent someone to perform a set of Spring Breeze and Rain Palm. I learned it at a glance. From this, I also learned about the events of Yanxia Mountain and got a glimpse of the secrets."

"The princess once recommended me to become a disciple of Shuimai. However, at that time, my cultivation was still in its infancy and I was still in the secular world, so I planned to go back and think about it. Later, I was found by the master and I became a disciple of Yanxia Mountain."

“Although I have only learned the basic water techniques in the mist and haze, I have always had a deep understanding of the Dao of water.”

"In the art of trading, the strong are easily broken, and only the most yin and soft can dominate the world."

“Nothing in the world is as soft and weak as water, yet nothing is as good as water.”

“Water is good at benefiting all things without competing with them. It stays where people hate it, so it is close to the Tao. It lives in a good place, has a deep heart, is kind to others, speaks truthfully, governs justly, is capable in doing things, and acts at the right time.”

After Tian Buli finished speaking, he fell silent, while Shuiyan Taoist frowned and thought about what Tian Buli said.

Although they came here to call for punishment, they actually knew that Taoist Liuyun would definitely protect him, and the two people beside him were probably trying to smooth things over.

This kid wasn't as domineering and ruthless as several disciples said. Instead, he admitted his mistake from the beginning and even knew how to build relationships.

If it was just based on the relationship with Princess Hanjiang, Taoist Shuiyan would definitely not take it seriously. However, when he heard about the closeness in their Taoist cultivation, Taoist Shuiyan had some...strange thoughts.

I feel like this guy should be my apprentice.

The Taoist priest smoking a hookah suddenly had this very strange idea.

Tian Buli quickly continued, "Senior Sister Hua Ying took my magic weapon and refused to return it. Now that it has been returned, the grudge is naturally settled. I will no longer hold a grudge against this matter." "I have offended my uncle, and I am willing to hand over the magic weapon that caused the trouble this time for my uncle to deal with!"

Tian Buli took out the magic weapon that he couldn't use and presented it with both hands.

Yu Leizi said at this time: "It is wrong for you to kill your fellow disciples, but I already know the cause and effect of this incident. Your senior brothers and sisters were also wrong at first."

Chen Liufeng said calmly: "Killing a fellow disciple is a serious crime. I will punish you by forcing you to face the wall and reflect on your mistakes for twenty years. Do you accept this?"

Taoist Liuyun didn't expect Chen Liufeng to punish him in this way, but he also knew that this person was not an easy person to talk to.

"Alright, I'll punish him by making him reflect on his mistakes by staying by my side for twenty years."

Tian Buli felt that twenty years was too long. He had not been home for twenty years, and everything at home had changed.

But it doesn't make much difference whether I am at home or not...

More importantly, the master was talking about being by her side, and sometimes the master would go out to adjust the water vapor and was not always in the mountains.

"Disciple accepts the punishment!" Tian Buli quickly followed Taoist Liuyun's arrangement and admitted his guilt and punishment.

The water pipe Taoist was very angry, "What's the difference between this and no punishment?"

Taoist Liuyun saw Taoist Shuiyan say this and said helplessly, "My bad disciple knows how to run outside all day long. He has only stayed in the mountains for half a month in three years of apprenticeship. How can it not be a punishment if I punish him to wash clothes, cook and fetch water by my side?"

Tian Buli looked at the Taoist priest Shuiyan with a sincere expression.

"Uncle Master, I really know I was wrong this time. In the future, when I cooperate with you brothers and sisters or discuss the Dao, I must be respectful and remember the friendship between fellow disciples. I will not dare to act recklessly like I did this time."

When Taoist Shuiyan saw this, he knew that this was the only way things could be. Tian Buli had just advised her to be magnanimous, do good deeds, and not fight.

She also wanted to refute this kind of thing, but after refuting it, it meant that she didn't believe it and she just wanted to argue.

But most of the female Taoists who practice water arts practice the peaceful and long-lasting way. The calm and detached way that does not compete with others is the right way.

Others could speak the truth in front of a group of Taoists, so for the sake of face, the Taoist priest Shuiyan had no choice but to accept it.

Taoist Shuiyan raised his finger slightly, and the bracelet in Tian Buli's hand flew to Hua Ying.

"Since my senior brothers and sisters have said so, Shi Yan will naturally give me some face and let this matter end here."

Shui Yan looked at Hua Ying and said, "You went to your senior brother because of this silver ring, and you harmed your senior brother. So after you accept this ring, you will also be in charge of your senior brother's affairs. Are you willing?"

Hua Ying quickly grabbed the bracelet and said, "Disciple is willing!"

No matter what, Hua Ying's incident this time will be remembered by many people for decades, or even hundreds of years, and there will be fewer men who will stand up for her in the future.

Yu Leizi and Chen Liufeng didn't want to get involved in the affairs between the two female Taoist priests. Seeing that both of them accepted this arrangement, they naturally said a few words and then went back to their own mountains.

After everyone else left, Taoist Liuyun said, "It's okay if we don't give her the magic weapon."

Tian Buli was clear-minded at this moment, and he was open-minded. "If you can't use something, sending it away to ward off disasters is also a good way to do it."

Tian Buli looked at Taoist Liuyun and whispered, "Master, can I go home and arrange some things? I will be back in a day or two."

Taoist Liuyun smiled, then quickly scolded him harshly, "You naughty boy, don't think about things that break the rules all day long. Go and cook. I will keep a close eye on you these few days to prevent you from running away!"

Tian Buli immediately realized that he couldn't run away for the next few days, as he would definitely be discovered by someone.

Wait at least a few days.

"Yes! Master!" Actually, there was nothing urgent at Tian Buli's home, and the women in the family had been mentally prepared to become widows from the beginning.

Tian Buli quickly devoted himself to cultivation and worked hard to become stronger.

After practicing in Yanxia Mountain for another five days, Tian Buli quickly mastered the Feiyun Taoism he had learned in the previous few days.

One day, when I was watching Yunhai practicing in the pavilion, I suddenly saw three figures coming over.

Tian Buli stood up quickly, and those who came were Yu Leizi, Chen Liufeng, and Shuiyan Taoist.

"Uncle Master! Uncle Master!" Tian Buli greeted quickly.

Chen Liufeng landed on the ground and frowned slightly at Tian Buli. "I haven't seen you for five days. You seem to have improved a lot. What Taoist magic did Liuyun teach you?"

Tian Buli said respectfully, "Uncle Master, these five days have been just like any other. In addition to fetching water and cooking, I have also been practicing the Flying Clouds Dao in this sea of ​​clouds every day, and I have indeed gained some insights."

Chen Liufeng asked: "What did you realize?"

Seeing Chen Liufeng's consideration, Tian Buli put into practice the Taoist magic he had just learned.

"The fog is like mist." Tian Buli's body turned into mist and dissipated.

“Go up, gather to form clouds and rain, and turn into tangible water.” Tian Buli’s body appeared dozens of meters away, and a cloud under his feet began to rain.

"In the middle, Jing can float in the sky and turn into invisible gas." Tian Buli stretched out his hand and pointed at the pavilion. Suddenly, a large amount of fog that gathered but did not disperse blew over nearby.

"Go down, you can retreat after accomplishing your mission, floating in the universe." A cloud of mist appeared under Tian Buli's feet, but the man disappeared without a trace.

The top one is the water-calling technique, the middle one is the fog-control technique, and the bottom one is the fog-escape technique that many demons, ghosts and cultivators know.

Feiyun Taoism is not an offensive spell, and what Taoist Liuyun is best at is indeed the art of fog and escape.

Taoist Liuyun also came out to greet them at this time.

It turns out that the four peaks of Yanxia Mountain would gather together every few years to discuss Taoism and some matters within the sect.

It just so happened that there was less to do after the Immortal Gate Banquet, so they talked about what they had encountered in their respective cultivation.

Tian Buli sat quietly in the distance listening, and gained a lot of insights into some things in Taoism.

After four or five days of the Taoist Dharma Conference, Taoist Liuyun said, "If you continue to practice, you may be more powerful than my junior sister in twenty years. Today, I will examine your Feiyun Dao Fa. Please demonstrate it and I will watch from behind."

Tian Buli quickly realized something and hurriedly thanked him: "Yes! Master!"

Not long after, Tian Buli disappeared in a flash and flew towards home at the fastest speed.
