Chapter 203: The Magic of Illusion

Tian Buli looked at the sea of ​​clouds and practiced quietly.

Senior sister Lian Xue walked nearby and looked at Tian Buli who was concentrating on his cultivation, and did not speak for a while.

This wait lasted for more than an hour until a rabbit walking on two legs came over with an iron sword.

The little white rabbit was holding the iron sword that had been distributed before. This iron sword, as strong as a wooden stick, was made from the fingernails of the Infant-Swallowing King. It was not very sharp, but it was very strong.

The little rabbits use this as a stick all day long, for fighting and extortion, and sometimes they use it as a firewood stick when working.

These days, the little white rabbit has been tormented by Taoist Liuyun and has to use a cane to walk.

The little white rabbit swaggered past Lian Xue, came to Tian Buli and looked at him.

"Master, what are you going to cook today?"

Tian Buli opened his eyes, looked at the noisy rabbit, reached out and grabbed the little white rabbit by the neck and picked up the big rabbit weighing more than ten pounds with one hand.

The little white rabbit looked at Tian Buli honestly, with its two big feet bent in front of its body and curled up into a ball, looking at Tian Buli with a pitiful and well-behaved expression.

Tian Buli smiled and put the little white rabbit on his lap, patting the little white rabbit's head, "Cook more, don't always use the dog pot, learn to cook other dishes, and learn more skills."

The little white rabbit raised his head and said, "But I have to practice the rabbit dance every day, so I don't have time... that..."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will give you time to rest. You can practice the rabbit dance for a while in the morning. I won't let you get tired other than farming and cooking."

The little white rabbit said happily: "Okay! Thank you, Master!"

Tian Buli put the little white rabbit down and said, "Go."

After the little white rabbit landed, he quickly picked up his crutches and ran away happily.

After the little white rabbit left, Tian Buli looked at Lian Xue, stood up and said politely: "Senior sister is here. I didn't notice her coming when I was meditating just now. Your body skills must have improved a lot."

Lian Xue was not young anymore and knew that Tian Buli was being polite.

"Junior brother, you are too kind. Did you understand the Feiyun Dao Fa that Master taught me today?"

Tian Buli nodded and gestured to Lian Xue to sit down and talk.

After the two sat down in the pavilion, Tian Buli expressed his understanding.

There are many things that Lian Xue doesn’t understand, but if she keeps them to herself, the friendship between the master and the disciple will always seem to fade.

Since they are all from the same school, it is normal for them to discuss the skills taught by their master with each other.

"Master taught me the art of confusion and the art of obstruction. I don't understand the art of confusion, but the art of obstruction is divided into the art of cloud and mist arising and the art of wind and smoke moving."

"The Feiyun Dao Fa is extensive and profound. I can only learn a little bit of it. The rest needs to be carefully comprehended. Is what you are learning the magic of confusion, Senior Sister?"

Lian Xue nodded, "I learned the art of enchantment."

Tian Buli had long known that Lian Xue was learning the art of confusion.

The master had previously asked the three people what an optical illusion was, and the three gave different answers.

Senior Brother He learned the art of covering the sun with floating clouds.

Senior Sister Lian Xue learned the art of disturbing people's minds.

What Tian Buli learned was the art of seeking truth and avoiding falsehood.

The art of seeking truth and avoiding falsehood is actually the art of illusion and magic.

However, because he didn't want to show off, Tian Buli only said that he knew the art of blocking.

Tian Buli said: "My barrier technique currently uses the Eight Trigrams to move around, create clouds, fog, wind and smoke, block the six senses, and condense illusions."

Lian Xue asked, "I remember that you learned the art of seeking truth through falsehood. Can Master teach you?"

Tian Buli pointed to an entrance on one side, "Just like the pavilion we are sitting in now, there are exits on both sides, so naturally we won't end up in a place without an exit."

"If you perform psychedelic magic, you focus on the entrance and exit, and set up a path away from the real thing. This is to seek the truth through the false."

Lian Xue smiled and said, "You'll usually get scammed in unfamiliar places. If you're in a familiar place and there's something extra or missing, you'll probably be found out."

Tian Buli also smiled and nodded, "That's exactly what Senior Sister said, that's why we need to go through the falsehood to seek the truth, to clarify what's really in our hearts, and let people walk in the direction they think is right."

Lian Xue listened to Tian Buli's words and quickly lost interest in the so-called pursuit of truth through falsehood.

Nothing more.

"The so-called psychedelic techniques are just some tricks." Lian Xue said this with a humble expression, and soon he sighed: "I want to learn the art of immortality and rejuvenation from my master, but my master refuses to teach me."

Tian Buli was speechless for a while. This senior sister's qualifications were really not good. If the master didn't feel embarrassed to have only one He disciple, he really wouldn't have accepted this female disciple.

Lian Xue was not self-aware and continued to sigh: "I have been learning martial arts for twenty years and practicing Taoism for more than eight years. Now I always feel that I am not good enough in my studies."

Tian Buli smiled awkwardly.

Lian Xue, who is already 45 years old, looks like she is in her 40s. She is not ugly or old, but she is definitely not young anymore.

"Sister is still very young. For a cultivator, a few decades is nothing to worry about." Tian Buli said something nice to comfort her. Good medicine tastes bitter, but it is better not to talk about bad relationships.

Lian Xue obviously felt that this was a compliment, and smiled and said, "Brother, you are right. I have indeed felt a lot younger in the past few years of practicing in the mountains. If I practiced at the foot of the mountain, I would probably be so busy with various matters at home and in the sect that I would not have time to practice properly."

"The best time to cultivate is when you are a teenager." Lian Xue said with envy, "If I had started cultivating when I was a teenager, I wouldn't be this pathetic now."

Tian Buli comforted her, "Sister, don't underestimate yourself. The way of cultivation is to focus on the heart. As long as the heart is not old, one will naturally look young."

Lian Xue nodded and said, "Brother, you are right. I see there is still a lot of space on this mountain. It is not convenient for me to practice by myself at the foot of the mountain. I wonder if Master will agree if I ask him to take care of me on the mountain?"

Tian Buli shook his head and said, "I can't guess what Master means. Sister, you can go and ask him and you will know. Whether it succeeds or not, it will only take a few words. You don't have to waste time practicing."

Lian Xue said: "I want to hear your opinion, Junior Brother."

Just as Tian Buli was about to speak, he heard Taoist Liuyun's voice coming from inside the house.

"If you want to stay, build a house for yourself and don't disturb your fellow apprentice's practice."

Taoist Liuyun's words were clearly heard by the two.

Lian Xue stood up happily and bowed towards the house, "Yes! Thank you, Master!"

Tian Buli smiled and congratulated Lian Xue, then sat in meditation and practiced quietly.

Lian Xue went straight down the mountain to prepare things to build a house.

It took three or four days for Ding Ding Dang Dang to finish building a house.

Tian Buli was practicing in the sea of ​​clouds, Taoist Liuyun was practicing in the house, the yellow rabbit was sleeping in the house, the little white rabbit was lying in the vegetable garden and being lazy, while the little black rabbit and the little gray rabbit were carrying their luggage to visit their mother's family to learn martial arts.

Lady Rabbit is very popular in Jingshui Peak. Little Black Rabbit and Little Yellow Rabbit are also very popular among the senior sisters there, so there is no shortage of delicious food.

Lian Xue couldn't find Tian Buli, nor could she call upon Senior Brother He who lived in a distant mountain, so she found someone to build a house herself.

After living in the house for half a month after it was built, I found it very cold and quiet.

Whether it is Tian Buli or Taoist Liuyun, they are both traditional Taoist practitioners who meditate for more than ten days at a time.

The little yellow rabbit and the little white rabbit stopped cooking since the arrival of outsiders. They went to the vegetable garden to eat grass and vegetables every day, behaving like two ordinary rabbits.

To the two little rabbits, lettuce does taste better.

Without their master and master to order them around, the two little rabbits are living a very comfortable life.

The little yellow rabbit has to guard the house. When the little white rabbit is tired, it takes a nap under the shade of the vegetables in the vegetable patch. When it is hungry, it can turn around and eat fresh vegetables. When it is bored, it can go and play with the little yellow rabbit. Every day, it just spends one or two hours weeding, pest control and doing farm work, and the whole day can be happy and carefree.

Three months later, Lian Xue couldn't stand the cold life in the mountains anymore, so he said goodbye and went down the mountain.

Tian Buli and Taoist Liuyun did not care about this matter and continued to practice peacefully.

One day, the little black rabbit and the little gray rabbit came back after being away for a long time.

"Master!" The little black rabbit ran to the cliff and shouted loudly.

The little gray rabbit also shouted.

Soon, the little white rabbits in the vegetable garden and the little yellow rabbits in the house came over curiously from their respective territories.

The little yellow rabbit asked, "What's wrong?"

"Something happened." The little black rabbit replied coldly.

The little white rabbit and the little yellow rabbit stood obediently beside their two sisters.

Tian Buli quickly walked out of the clouds and mist, and walked to the ground on the air.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing its master whom it hadn't seen for a long time, the little black rabbit said happily, "Master! The head of Jingshui Peak, Lady Shuiyan, asked me to tell you that you can take the children at home to see him. If it doesn't work, you can send them back."

Tian Buli quickly calculated that his eldest son Xiaocong was now five or six years old and was almost sensible enough.

You won't learn much at this age, but growing up in the mountains and absorbing the spiritual energy of the mountains is always better than spending your days at home.

"Okay, I'll go back. White Rabbit, pick some ripe spiritual fruits and millet for me. After I leave, you can cook a delicious meal for yourselves and send a portion to Master."

"Yes! Master!" The little white rabbit quickly agreed to this good thing.

Taoist Liuyun agreed very smoothly. As soon as Tian Buli flew out, the four rabbits happily ran towards the vegetable field.

It only took Tian Buli two or three minutes to reach the top of the town.

During this year, the town has grown a lot bigger, with many more houses built on the hill, and a cross street with two hundred households gathered.

The number of people must have exceeded a thousand, but the exact number is unknown.

When Tian Buli landed, he saw many carriages parked at the Hu family next door, so he landed directly in front of the Hu mansion.

Erbao was giving instructions to the servants. When he saw Tian Buli coming down, he said happily, "Second father, you're back! My father just came back this morning! Gou'er is in the house too!"
