Chapter 86 Standing still
After living at the foot of the mountain for a few days, Tian Buli took the rabbits back to the mountain.

Bai Lian had no talent for cultivating immortals. No matter how hard he tried to meditate and practice, he remained motionless, just like an ordinary person.

Every day, we are standing still.

Instead, I watched the little rabbits around me jumping higher and higher every day, running faster and faster, and even speaking more and more clearly, and they could count every twenty eggs accurately!
I realize both in my mouth and in my heart that I am not qualified, but sometimes I can't help but run with others to exercise.

Tian Buli saw it all, but did not try to persuade her. They ate, drank, slept and practiced martial arts together every day.

In a small courtyard in the mountains, Tian Buli was sitting on a chair with two rabbits squatting beside him.

The little rabbits squatted with their legs slightly bent with the two front legs placed in front of their bodies, and focused on watching the two parties fighting in front of them.

On one side is Bai Lian, who has learned self-defense martial arts and light skills since childhood, and the weapon in his hand is a sword.

On one side is the bunny girl who has been dancing with a wooden hammer for four or five months.

The rabbit girl held a large wooden hammer in both hands, using it to block the unclear sword shadow in front of her while continuously retreating.

Bai Lian approached with steady steps, his body flexible and powerful. He squatted down with a slight force on his waist, and while stepping forward firmly, he raised the sword in his hand.

She just moved slightly to the side, and the sharp sword tilted from bottom to top, stabbing at the bunny girl's weakly defended air raid.

When the blade of the long sword was close to the rabbit girl's chin and mouth, Tian Buli quickly called a stop.

"That's enough. Bai Lian is still better."

Bai Lian held the sword in one hand and maintained balance with the other. After hearing this, he put away the sword and stood still.

"Accepted!"

The bunny girl was dejected and said, "Thank you, I lost."

The little rabbits looked at the rabbit mother who came back with a hammer, and quickly surrounded her to comfort her.

"Mom, the hammer isn't powerful enough, let's learn the sword too!"

"Learn sword! Learn sword!"

"I want to learn sword too!"

"Mom, sit down and take a rest. Eat an egg to replenish your strength."

The white rabbit held an egg in both hands and handed it to the rabbit mother, then picked up an egg from the bowl and turned around to hand it to its owner.

"Master, eat eggs."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "I won't eat it. Give this egg to Bai Lian."

Bai Tu's sisters were all here, so she couldn't eat it herself, so she took five or six steps with the egg in her hand and came to Bai Lian, holding the egg high and handing it over.

Bai Lian squatted down and took the egg from Bai Rabbit's hand.

"Okay, today I will teach you how to use swords. First, I will use branches to make a wooden sword. Now I will use an iron sword in case you hurt yourself."

Tian Buli picked up the eggs in the bowl and began to peel them.

The yellow rabbit came closer, "Master, I will help you peel it."

Tian Buli gave the egg to the yellow rabbit. The yellow rabbit held the egg in both hands, lowered its head and gnawed on it quickly with its teeth. In a few seconds, the eggshell was eaten.

The four rabbits have extremely strong digestive abilities. They can not only digest meat and fat, but even bones.

The bite force is also getting stronger. Currently, it takes more than an hour to bite through bones, but it is much faster to bite through wood. It takes less than a minute to bite out the desired bowls and chopsticks.

Bai Lian is now the coach of the five rabbits. Although he cannot cultivate immortality, he can teach the rabbits martial arts.

Moreover, Bai Lian has received education and can teach the five rabbits about cultural subjects.

Except for not having the qualifications to practice and being unable to continue to improve himself, Bai Lian is stronger than the five rabbits in every aspect.

Even Tian Buli’s martial arts skills were not that strong, and he was not outstanding in most aspects.

Tian Buli didn't need to comfort Bai Lian. Bai Lian soon forgot about all these things and concentrated on teaching the five rabbits to read, write, speak and recite.

It's like educating future children in advance.

When the Li sisters were bored, they would play the piano in the mountains or practice dancing in the yard.

When the weather is bad, they play chess at home. The two sisters keep each other company, and with Tian Buli as well, they won't feel bored.

It was quiet for more than a month, and it started snowing outside when the New Year was approaching.

"We won't go running if it snows. You can just play around at home. We'll go out for fitness after the New Year. Normally, just stay at home and learn some culture."

Tian Buli looked at the falling snow and reduced the workload for the rabbits.

After hearing this, Black Rabbit quickly said, "Master, I have been training for more than a month. Maybe I have gone down the mountain by now?"

Tian Buli looked at the serious-looking little black rabbit and said with a smile, "Don't bother the dogs for the time being. The New Year is coming, and many people in the village will need to prepare some meat and kill chickens and dogs."

"At this time, all the dogs at the foot of the mountain are keeping their tails between their legs and dare not run wild. If you win in the past, it will be an unfair victory."

After hearing this, Bai Lian quickly said, "Look at my memory! I forgot about the cockfighting. I'll tell someone to go to the city and bring back a fighting cock!"

Tian Buli said, "Let's talk about it next year, Black Rabbit, how did you spend the winter in the past?"

After hearing this, Black Rabbit recalled.

"We prepare tree roots and weeds for the winter in advance. There is less food in the winter and we often go hungry."

Baitu felt deeply, "I spent most of my time sleeping with my stomach growling with hunger."

"It's snowing so hard that there's no grass to eat."

Tian Buli saw that their lives were not good in the past, so he comforted them by saying, "Then go to the cellar and take out three green radishes for me. Peel them and cut them into pieces so that I can moisten my mouth with them while I read."

Several rabbits happily agreed, and went to the back of the house to dig up the cellar, and took out radishes and vegetables to go with the wine.

While I was eating snacks, reading and studying, I heard shouting from the bottom of the mountain.

"Second father! Guests are coming!"

After hearing this, Tian Buli put down his book, put on his shoes and got off the bed. When he got outside, Bai Lian said happily, "My sister is here. She saw someone!"

Tian Buli looked down and saw Lan He walking on the mountain road wearing a mink cloak.

Zhang Xia was leading the way, and Huer was running in front.

Tian Buli went out to pick someone up, "Hu'er, the road will be slippery when there is a lot of snow on the mountain. I will pick them up, you go home."

When Hu'er saw his second father coming out, he also complained that the weather was too cold for his hands.

"Okay, I'm going back!"

Tiger walked back quickly.

Zhang Xia knew that the room upstairs was small, so she took the initiative to say, "It's good that my young husband has come out. I'll send him off and go back to sit on the kang to warm myself up!"

Tian Buli walked over and said, "Sorry for the trouble. Be careful on the road."

"Okay, don't worry." Zhang Xia went back with a smile.

Tian Buli shouted, "Hu'er! Don't run so fast, go back with your second mother!"

Hu'er, who was running home quickly, heard this and stood there waiting for Zhang Xia to slowly come down the steps on the mountain.

"Okay, got it, Second Dad!"

Zhang Xia smiled and said nothing more.

The road on the mountain had been trampled for several months, and with Tian Buli taking the rabbits to work in his spare time, the rugged parts had been leveled, and walking on it was not as difficult as before.

Lan He walked to the mountainside and said with a smile: "Young Master is very kind to women."

Tian Buli also responded with a smile, "Miss Lan, you are too polite. How are you these days?"

"I'm fine, nothing happened." Lan He and Tian Buli walked towards the courtyard together. "The princess asked me to come and see what you have been doing recently."

Bai Lian and Tian Buli came here together. When they heard Lan He's question, they felt it was difficult to answer.

In Bai Lian's opinion, Tian Buli basically did nothing.

Tian Buli said, "I have been busy studying and practicing recently. My physical strength and internal energy have increased a lot. My mind and spirit have also been focused through meditation and practice. I have been spending my days at leisure. As time goes by, I have gained some insights."

Bai Lian, who was standing aside, looked ahead in astonishment, at Tian Buli's back, and forgot to walk.

Lan He smiled and said, "The princess said that your aptitude is better than hers. I can't see that, but I can see that your body has indeed grown a lot. You must have more strength and aura."

"Although I am not very good at martial arts, I have seen many masters in the mansion. I didn't understand it when I was with you last time. But when I saw you again today, I found that you have an extraordinary aura and your Taoism must have improved a lot!"

When Bai Lian heard Lan He's words, she knew it must be true.

Bai Lian followed slowly, and for a while, he felt as gloomy as the sky at that moment.

But when he entered the warm house and saw the beautiful Bunny Girl and the Li sisters, and then looked at Lan He who took off his cloak because the house was warm, and Tian Buli who had a kind and friendly smile, he suddenly felt warm.

Tian Buli said, "I made a hot pit when I was free. It's very warm to sleep on it when it's cold. Take off your shoes and try it out."

Lan He asked curiously, "I'd like to see this. My feet were very cold when I walked here."

Tian Buli took off his shoes and went to the bed first. The four little rabbits didn't even say hello and were already curled up in the hot bed, dozing off.

After Tian Buli got to the bed, he picked up the little white rabbit and held it on his lap, stroking its longer fur.

The little white rabbit is lazy and gluttonous, and it is fat and comfortable to hug.

Looking at Tian Buli stroking the little rabbit, Lan He asked curiously, "Are these your four rabbit demon Taoist children?"

"Yes." Tian Buli smiled.

Lan He didn't ask any more questions. After taking off his shoes and sitting on the warm pit, he felt comfortable under his butt.

"This bed is really comfortable to sit on. What made you think of lighting a fire under the bed?"

Even though the Tianyue Dynasty is the northernmost place, the temperature is not too cold and people can get through it by just shaking themselves, so fire pits are not common.

At most a brazier or stove is enough, there is no environment for inventing a fire pit.

Another thing is that firewood is expensive in crowded places, and all the nearby trees have been cut down, so you have to buy firewood for cooking.

In the mountains where there is plenty of wood, there is generally no need for a fire pit as long as it is not too cold.

Although Hanyang Province is close to a cold river, the climate itself is not cold. The Han River is called a cold river because it comes down from the snow-capped mountains. It only dries up all year round and rarely freezes.

Cotton and quilts, a large number of fur coats, and various stoves and braziers are the winter warm-keeping equipment.

Tian Buli explained: "It's damp and cold in the mountains. In order to prevent the beauties and I from having a hard life here, we naturally have to make ourselves comfortable."

Lan He sat in the bed and said with a smile: "It is indeed comfortable here, but it is missing something."

Tian Buli asked curiously: "What's the problem?"

Lan He smiled, "Of course it's a child. I've given you three beauties, why haven't you made them pregnant yet~"

Tian Buli has always been very thick-skinned. "We are working hard. We are working hard. We will sleep together every day. You see, I have specially enlarged this fire pit to ensure that everyone can sleep well."

Bai Lian also took off her shoes and sat in bed, next to Tian Buli.

"Don't worry, sister. The master is very kind to us. When you get pregnant, he will send someone to inform you."

Lan He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you some wedding money when the time comes."

Lee Ha-jeong and Lee Ha-sook also sat on the bed, one on each side.

There was just enough space for a table, so they took out the chessboard and played chess together. Bai Lian got out of bed to heat up the wine and food and brought them over.

The rabbit girl came back from the study yawning. After practicing calligraphy, she went to bed and got into the quilt. She slept with her head resting on the position of the three little rabbits, and ignored the men and women who were having fun and drinking.

Because of the snow, the weather outside the window was gloomy.

The three rabbits were all sleeping. The little rabbit held in Tian Buli's arms would occasionally stick its head out to eat a bite of peanuts while others were drinking and eating.
