Chapter 168 Love yourself

The river was rushing endlessly, and Tian Buli was chanting magic spells on the river.

The rushing river water under feet quickly raised a large amount of water mist, which quickly covered an area of ​​about 100 square meters nearby.

As Tian Buli gradually rose into the air, a large amount of fog slowly broke away from the control of the spell and floated into the sky.

"Disciple, you can't move this torrent like this." Taoist Liuyun quickly floated into the sky, took off a phoenix hairpin from his head and threw it down.

The phoenix hairpin was hung with gold and silver threads, and its shape resembled a phoenix.

"go with!"

Soon after Taoist Liuyun threw the phoenix hairpin into the river, the water began to churn.

Tian Buli looked down and saw a large amount of water mist appearing above the surging river water.

The fog was so thick that I couldn't see anything clearly, as if I was in the clouds. Even the sound of the rushing river could not be heard.

Suddenly a breeze blew, and Tian Buli soon saw a large cloud stretching for tens of thousands of meters floating overhead, while the river water below had become much calmer and several meters lower.

Tian Buli looked at the cloud. It was definitely big enough to cover the entire Tian Village, and its length might be over 100,000 meters.

Taoist Liuyun quickly flew up and said, "Follow me, let's disperse this cloud in the mountain to prevent it from causing harm to this side."

Tian Buli flew up quickly, and after he and Taoist Liuyun passed through the clouds and stood at a higher place, he found that the clouds were even larger than they had seemed before!
This place seems to be a kingdom in the sky, a continent in the clouds. Standing on it, you will feel that you can't see the end, and there is white land everywhere.

These clouds are much more solid and denser than they appear, and if they do rain it will surely last longer than with normal clouds.

This kind of Taoist magic alone can easily make the lives of people in an entire county worse than death.

Tian Buli understood the horror of Taoism. Although this kind of Taoism could not kill a person directly, it could easily destroy the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people.

The denser the population, the more destructive the Taoist magic will be.

The two fell into the clouds. Tian Buliyi tried to stand using the levitation technique, but found that his body was moving with the clouds.

Tian Buli quickly asked, "Master! How could this cloud take us away?"

Taoist Liuyun smiled and said, "It is my Feifeng hairpin that is holding up the cloud. I will find a quiet place to put it down. Just watch carefully."

Tian Buli calmed down and stopped talking to disturb Taoist Liuyun.

Taoist Liuyun flew with Tian Buli for more than two hours and soon stopped at a familiar place.

Tian Buli looked at the familiar place below and said quickly, "Master, what are you doing here?"

Taoist Liuyun was also a little tired, "Come with me first."

Tian Buli followed Taoist Liuyun to a nearby hilltop. After landing, Taoist Liuyun waved at the huge floating cloud in the sky.

Soon, something flew down from the clouds. When the thing emitting flowing light flew into Taoist Liuyun's hands, it was clearly seen to be a hairpin.

Taoist Liuyun inserted the hairpin into his thick hair.

Seeing this, Tian Buli quickly said, "Master usually wears her hair down, but today she looks elegant and beautiful with this bun!"

Taoist Liuyun shook his head helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense. You can have fun for a few days after the flood control. Don't stay outside for too long, otherwise it will ruin your practice."

Tian Buli was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, "Yes! Master!"

Taoist Liuyun started to look a little more serious, looking at the floating cloud in the sky that was changing from white to black.

"These water clouds were brought here under my control. Without magic weapons or Taoist techniques to counterbalance them, they will soon turn into rain clouds. If we are unlucky, they will even turn into thunder clouds."

"But remember not to use this kind of Taoist magic to make rain in the future, so as not to cause trouble."

Tian Buli nodded, "Yes!"

The clouds in the sky began to collide with each other, and hurricanes appeared all around.

Without magical control, the clouds and rain began to get out of control and turned into heavy rain.

Fortunately, this is a huge swamp meadow, which is also the meadow that Tian Buli had walked through before.

The raindrops fell like stones, knocking down the grass, stagnant water, trees, stones and various small animals on the ground. Some wetlands directly had a large number of craters and quickly turned into a pool of mud.

Tian Buli looked around quickly.

Taoist Liuyun did not even turn around and said directly: "I have checked, there is no one nearby, not even a large wild animal. Even if there was, it should have run away."

Tian Buli raised his head and looked at the heavy rain.

The rain was so heavy that it turned the grass into mud within a minute.

Fortunately, the last bullet was fired soon, and the sun reappeared in the sky. At this time, it was a scorching summer day, the mountain breeze was blowing, the ground was vast, the air was filled with the smell of moisture and weeds, and there was a kind of quiet beauty after the hustle and bustle.

Tian Buli felt that if he had been hit by this rainstorm when he was running away, he would most likely have died.

"Master, do I have to put the water here every time?"

Tian Buli felt that if the water kept flowing here, it would definitely not be able to develop.

Taoist Liuyun smiled and said, "Where else can we put it if not here? If we put it in some other mountain, it will be flooded soon. No one lives here, so of course we should put it here."

Tian Buli nodded, "That's right, I just think the scenery here is good and it feels like a place that people can live in."

Taoist Liuyun taught: "A place with beautiful scenery is not suitable for living. A flat land is the most suitable for living."

Tian Buli nodded again and said, "Yes, Master is right. There must be a place to put the river water."

Taoist Liuyun looked at the shimmering shallow water in front of him.

"It's not always so easy. Most of the time, it's good enough to just keep one area, and there's nothing we can do about the rest."

"For example, I only take care of the floods in Qitian Prefecture. There are also floods in some other places, but it's too troublesome to run back and forth."

"When you become more advanced in the future, you can visit more small places and adjust the rainfall."

Tian Buli asked curiously, "Hasn't Hanyang Province always had good weather and good harvests? I heard from the people in the county that it has always been a good harvest."

Taoist Liuyun said: "There are many places without a good harvest. Just be patient and it will pass. As long as we can ensure a good harvest in most areas, the court and government will also take care of those affected areas."

"Since you have lived in the market for more than ten years, you should know that a lot of care is calculated based on the payment of money and grain. The richer the place, the easier it is to take care of it."

"Poor places are sparsely populated, so there is no need for us to help them."

"I know you have a kind heart and are good to mortals. It's not wrong to think you are a human being, but you should be a human being when working for the court, not a dog. Don't do everything and ruin your future."

Tian Buli nodded quickly, "Master, don't worry. My heart is as strong as iron. I know very well the stupidity and arrogance of those people in the court. Life and death are determined by fate, and my life is in my own hands!"

Taoist Liuyun smiled and said, "Okay, but I will have to consider you more before bringing you out this time. Let's go to another river mouth that may have floods. This time I want to see how much river water you can divert."

"Yes!"

Tian Buli followed Taoist Liuyun to another river channel that was overflowing. This place could no longer hold so much water. If more water accumulated, it would easily rush out of the riverbed and into the nearby farmland.

Tian Buli quickly used the technique of gathering fog to turn the river water near his feet into mist, and then began to use the technique of swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

Taoist Liuyun saw this and did not rush him, but sat cross-legged and meditated quietly.

After waiting for more than an hour, Tian Buli finally created a cloud that was eight hundred meters in size.

"Master! I can't hold on any longer. Where should I put these clouds and mists?"

Tian Buli's magic power was almost used up, and he had to maintain this cloud, so he had to ask Taoist Liuyun for help.

Taoist Liuyun smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be fine if we just dispersed?"

Tian Buli looked around. There were farmlands everywhere, and in particular, there was a lot of wheat that was ready to be harvested, which would become moldy and rot after being exposed to the rain.

"There are fertile fields around here. If I don't control the rain, the rain will fall and damage the wheat."

Taoist Liuyun's expression immediately became stern, and he looked at Tian Buli seriously.

"The lives of monks like me are precious. The wheat in the fields nearby is nothing compared to us. How can you hold on to the thunderclouds just because you are worried about destroying the wheat?"

"Fool! Which is more important?"

Tian Buli quickly realized his mistake and pushed the floating cloud weighing hundreds of tons above his head to the nearby farmland.

After pushing the rain clouds to the nearby farmlands, farms and forests, I felt relaxed all over.

Tian Buli didn't even look at how the rain fell on the wheat fields, houses and trees. He just clasped his hands together and said, "Master, you are right. I feel enlightened and relieved!"

Taoist Liuyun's face looked much better, but he still kept a serious face and patiently taught me: "You have to remember that people like us who practice Taoism should not always distinguish between good and evil."

"Everything in the world exists to survive, and so do we."

"Don't get hung up on good and evil, right and wrong. If someone deserves to die, let him die. It's a matter of thought if you want to help someone, but don't give up your life in vain."

"People who forget themselves are vain. Today, I think you have used the Smoke and Cloud Technique too much and confused your brain. Next time you have such stupid ideas, I will hit you hard on the head!"

Tian Buli lowered his head, "Yes! Master! I will cherish my life in the future and continue to honor you while I am still alive!"
