Xiaoyaoshanjun

Chapter 173 New Blessing
Outside the city of Qi Tianfu, Tian Buli was sitting in a carriage, and the servants outside were cheering.

"It's cool! It's cool when there are clouds over it!"

"This cloud follows us! It goes wherever we go!"

"Look, there's a lot of land!"

"It won't rain, right?"

"What nonsense! This is the master's method!"

"Keep your voice down, don't disturb me while I am practicing!"

In Tian Buli's carriage, Lan He and Bai Lian were both smiling softly.

Tian Buli cast a spell and the stuffiness in the carriage disappeared, becoming much cooler.

Bai Lian smiled and said, "Master is really amazing. This Taoist technique he uses is like a magic technique!"

Tian Buliyi sat on a cool mat. There was a bed-like place in the carriage where he could lean on it or lie down.

Since I was going home to visit my relatives, I naturally considered issues such as staying overnight.

There was no practice at this time, just let the clouds continue to float in a rough order, and these clouds will slowly disperse by themselves as they float.

There was silence in the carriage for two seconds. Seeing that Tian Buli didn't want to talk, Bai Lian said considerately, "Master, let me massage your feet."

Tian Buli stretched out his legs, lay on his side and said, "Okay."

Seeing this, Lan He sat down opposite Tian Buli.

"Master, our princess asked me to ask you something before she left. If you help them find their way out of this maze, will it make the Taoist priest of Yanxia Mountain unhappy?"

After hearing this, Tian Buli looked at Lan He and said with a smile, "As long as I'm happy, I don't care whether they are happy or not. Anyway, those people won't bother me for such a small matter."

Lan He said carefully: "Is there still trouble?"

Tian Buli smiled and said, "No, there is not much consideration on this matter. Others just don't want to get involved in the affairs here. I will help. It's not a capital crime. It won't cause any trouble for me."

"Even if it's an ordinary Taoist priest, to be honest, if he can instruct those two people, his strength and practice will not be bad. What could go wrong?"

Lan He nodded and took the initiative to lie down, looking at Tian Buli with charming eyes, "But it's all thanks to the master, otherwise the princess and the adults would have to suffer for a long time."

The space in the carriage was not large, and Tian Buli could touch Lan He's body with just one hand.

He also casually stretched out his hand and grabbed the soft and plump body of Lan He as if he was grabbing a pillow, and shook her in front of him with her back facing him.

Tian Buli strangled Lan He's neck with one hand like a steel bar, "You old girl, you are already over 30 years old and have never tasted meat. Can't hold it back anymore?"

Lan He's face flushed, and she said charmingly: "Old man, I'm just waiting for you to accept me~"

Tian Buli loosened his hand, patted her on the butt and said with a smile: "There is no place for you in my house, so you should stay in the Princess's Mansion. You can come to my house when you are free."

Lan He sat up and looked at Tian Buli with resentment in his eyes.

"Master, I have brought it to your mouth right now, but you won't eat it?"

At this time, Bai Lian, who was massaging her feet, smiled and said, "Master, why don't you be kind and let her know what it's like to be a woman."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "That's fine, but let's wait until we get to the Lan family. It's not appropriate to do it in a carriage, and I need to save some energy to control the clouds in the sky today."

Lan He said happily: "Okay, let's talk about it when we get home. I'll massage your shoulders for you, Master."

Tian Buli said nothing and enjoyed it quietly.

Lan He is already in his thirties, at least he should have some self-awareness.

I'm not a cultivator, so it's really hard to get married at this age.

Not to mention being a wife, she's not even qualified to be a concubine.

Moreover, Lan He works for the Princess's Mansion and has broad vision. He is the kind of person who would rather be the tail of a phoenix than the head of a chicken.

Knowing that she was an old maid, Lan He naturally wanted to have a place to go.

The Princess's Mansion is not her home, but if the Princess has children, she can continue to do this.

Unfortunately, there is none, so of course I have to find a home as soon as possible.

Her mother's family was originally the best choice, but now her sister has married into the Tian family, and Lan He and Tian Buli are friends, so naturally she hopes to maintain a friendly relationship with him.

Although the Lan family is wealthy and powerful, a woman cannot be the head of the family and will inevitably be schemed against and bullied by a group of people from the same clan. Moreover, she has been away from home for many years and has few close friends in the Lan family.

The Tian family is different. Tian Buli is a cultivator, so his family must be well-off.

And my sister has a child here, so we are a family.

The most important thing is that Lan He thinks that he has a good relationship with Tian Buli, so he is not an outsider and is half in the Tian family.

Now that Tian Buli has no objection and has such a close relationship with me, there will naturally be a place for me to stay in the Tian family in the future.

If you are lucky enough to have a son or daughter, it will be even more perfect!
The carriage traveled for another afternoon and night, and arrived at around eight o'clock the next morning.

As soon as the group of people arrived at the boundary marker of Linhe County, a man ran over and shouted.

"But the Tian family convoy?"

"Yes! Who are you?"

"I am from the Li family. Our master has been waiting for you at Sanlitun outside the city with his family members. I will go back and tell the master!"

When Tian Buli was having breakfast in the morning, the people in his carriage were replaced by the Li sisters.

The Li sisters wore dignified and simple clothes.

Li Hezhen wore golden yellow clothes, had her hair tied up in a bun, wore pearl hairpins and gold earrings, and had a bandage on her forehead.

Lee Ha-sook wore a red and white dress, and her hairstyle and accessories were similar to Lee Ha-jung's, except that she did not wear a headband-like strap to make her look older to distinguish her size.

Looking old is not a shameful thing. In this era, dressing in an old-fashioned way is often a symbol of great importance.

Soon everyone met each other. Li Tingzhu came out to greet them with a dozen promising men and a dozen beautiful women from the Li family.

When these people saw how the two sisters were dressed, they were surprised and happy.

This is obviously not the way a concubine should dress!
Generally speaking, the more the host likes you, the more beautiful the clothes you wear.

But no matter how beautiful you are, you can be seductive but not dignified, and you must know the rules.

Since Tian Buli allowed the two girls from the Li family to dress like this and meet people together, he must not have regarded them as lowly concubines.

"Master! I have made great achievements, so it is inconvenient for me to perform the ceremony. Please don't blame me, Master!"

Li Tingzhu bowed quickly and politely, but did not kneel down.

In fact, the court did not prohibit officials from kneeling before Taoist priests. Li Tingzhu was mainly because he not only had a great reputation, but was also Tian Buli's elder, so it was inconvenient for him to perform the ceremony. Tian Buli smiled and said, "Sir, you are too polite. There are too many people here and it is noisy. Let's go back first."

"Okay!" Li Tingzhu quickly asked everyone to get on the car and prepare to go back, while he followed the car on horseback.

As he walked, Li Tingzhu felt very cool and said with a smile: "Since the Taoist priest came, there have been more clouds in the sky. It has been very hot these past few days, but I didn't expect it to be cloudy and cool today!"

Before Tian Buli could say anything, Li Hezhen said, "Dad, you don't know that this cloud has been following us all the way!"

After hearing this, Li Tingzhu looked up at the cloud in the sky in surprise.

"What's going on? Why are you following me?"

Li Hezhen smiled and said, "The master is kind-hearted. Seeing that we couldn't stand the heat, he cast a spell to summon white clouds to block the sun. It's been as cool as being in the mountains all the way here!"

Li Tingzhu was shocked and asked, "Has the Taoist master already learned the immortal method?"

When Tian Buli saw Li Hezhen sitting sideways by the car window and talking to her father with the curtain lifted, he couldn't help but slap her on the butt.

"Don't show off in front of others. Go back and talk about it later."

Li Hezhen didn't dare to say anything anymore. Frightened, he lowered the curtains and knelt down obediently.

When Li Tingzhu heard the conversation inside, he naturally didn't dare to ask any more questions, and his attitude became more respectful.

After walking for more than an hour, they arrived at Li's house in the city.

The Li family's house is on the outskirts of the city, not in the city.

Because it is not in the city, its area is actually larger than that of the Princess's Mansion.

If viewed from the sky, it looks like six rectangular building complexes covering an area of ​​three to four hundred acres.

Each building complex is a high-walled courtyard with more than 200 houses and dozens of courtyards, as well as large and small courtyards and gardens and back hills.

The main family occupied one piece of land, which was Lijia Fort. The remaining five were forts owned by other members of the Li family. Each had a name, forming the two words "Li Family" in golden letters.

It takes several hours just to walk there. Entering Li's house is like strolling in a county town. You would never have thought that all the houses on the roadside belong to the Li family.

This is the most luxurious mansion Tian Buli has ever seen. The second largest one should be Xia Family Village.

But the main reason was that there were only two young men obsessed with Taoism in the Princess's Mansion, and Tian Buli had never been a guest in a real wealthy mansion, so he didn't have much experience.

It looks like it covers a large area, but in fact it is like the difference between a rural villa and a luxury villa in a first-tier city. Once you go in, you will find that the houses here are crowded and monotonous, and cannot compare with the exquisiteness and wealth of a princess's mansion.

Compared with the Princess's Mansion, this place looks like an ordinary house that's just a little bigger.

Tian Buli did not look down on this official family. At least in the eyes of people in the nearby counties, this was definitely a first-class wealthy family.

After everyone entered the house and sat down, everyone from the Li family stood up and came to greet Tian Buli.

There were officials, some of them were sixth rank, and some were fifth rank, all of them were high-ranking officials whom the county magistrate could not afford to offend.

There were also beautiful young ladies from the younger generation coming over to say hello.

The Li sisters were not legitimate daughters and were only considered young ladies of the Li family. They were not proper young ladies valued by the old ladies and masters of the Li family.

It was precisely because of his poor background that he was forced to learn how to play music.

However, the status of the Li sisters has naturally risen a lot now. Not only do they have the eldest lady holding their hands and talking to them, but even the youngest son is held and talked to by old lady Li herself.

Men and women sat at separate tables during the meal. Tian Buli just chatted casually and then got up and left. Of course, the others did not dare to think that he was disrespectful to his elders.

After getting up from the man's table, Tian Buli wanted to go back to practice, but halfway there he was stopped by his three-year-old son Xiaoyuan.

"father!"

When Tian Buli saw that it was Tian Yuan, he smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Tian Yuan was accompanied by a beautiful girl, Li Cuiwei, the beautiful daughter of the Li family.

Li Cuiwei looked at Tian Buli and said enthusiastically: "Brother-in-law, Xiaoyuan couldn't sit still in the chair and had to come to find you."

Tian Buli picked up Xiao Yuan and said, "Then come back to the house with me. Where are we going to live?"

Li Cuiwei came over and said, "I live in the back house, where the women live. I also live in a courtyard. Grandma asked me to help my brother-in-law take care of the children so as not to disturb your sleep."

Half of the inner house is a taboo place, and the bigger the family, the more attention it pays to etiquette.

But the bigger the family, the harder they kneel.

The Li family had long been thinking of sending a few more women to the Tian family, especially now that one of their two daughters hadn't been able to have children for three or four years, so they had long been thinking of replacing Li Heshu and letting their own daughter bear children for Tian Buli.

In ancient times, being unable to bear children was the worst thing that could happen to a woman. Li Hae-jeong and Li Hae-sook must have been thinking of putting their own people in important positions.

Tian Buli follows his heart, but he is not a bad heart. He smiled and said, "That's not necessary. The three children at home are very well behaved. Xiaoyuan, let's go back to bed."

Xiao Yuan said happily: "Okay!"

After being picked up by Tian Buli, Xiao Yuan grabbed Tian Buli's shoulders and looked at the dark yard and corridor outside, "Dad, when are we going home? I want to go home."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "Go visit your eldest brother's grandmother's house tomorrow night. Stay for a day or two and then go back."

"Okay!" Xiaoyuan still wanted to go home early. She yawned and soon felt sleepy.

The Li family had many beautiful girls and wives, but Tian Buli didn't want any of them. While the Li sisters and relatives were reminiscing and chatting, he was practicing alone on the cloud and didn't want to pay attention to anyone.

When it was time to leave, he got into the car with his wife and children under the resentful and envious gazes of a group of beautiful wives and girls.

"Goodbye!" Tian Buli was ready to leave after saying this. He was just giving the two women who worked hard to run the household a chance to show off. He himself had no interest in this matter.

Li Tingzhu waved goodbye and suddenly thought of something, and asked hurriedly: "Master, will you take the autumn exam this year? If you go, you will definitely pass the exam!"

Tian Buli was stunned, and suddenly remembered that it was time for his three-year exam again.

"To be honest, I haven't read any documents or written many words in the past three years. I've been reading Taoist books and practicing all day. I'm sure I won't pass the exam."

Tian Buli didn't want to take the imperial examination. Now that he had enough food and clothing, what was the point of passing the examination?
Li Tingzhu said, "Taoists can also take the imperial examinations. The court always shows special favor to those who practice Taoism. If the Taoist priest takes the exam, the court will definitely not begrudge him a place as a juren."

Tian Buli believed this, but the Taoists in Yanxia Mountain were either rich or noble, and they had no shortage of status and influence in Hanyang Province. Who would take the imperial examination for no reason?
People who practice Taoism also need to save face. Even if they can easily gain fame and honor, they are really too idle to do such things.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Tian Buli quickly got into the car and put the matter behind him.

I didn't want to go at all. After visiting my relatives, I would go back to Yanxia Mountain to practice. I didn't want to waste seven days to take the imperial examination.

Tian Buli quickly got into the car to practice. Before entering into meditation, he looked at his attributes and quickly frowned.

External Qi 62, Internal Qi 89, Body Bone 9, Root Bone 9, Face Bone 2.1, Spiritual Root 11, Five Years of Taoism, Fortune 3, Lifespan 24/330
Except for the fortune, the other attributes are the same as before going down the mountain! !
Tian Buli looked at Fuyuan, which was still two o'clock in the morning.

"Will good things happen after I pass the exam? Or is it equivalent to a blessing event at my current level of cultivation?"

I have no choice but to take the exam now...
