Xiaoyaoshanjun

Chapter 77: Yanxia Sect

A sedan chair carried by eight people passed in front of a group of soldiers.

Envy, envy, and still envy.

Tian Buli felt that the status of soldiers and warriors in this world was too low.

But on second thought, when the emperor is strong, the royal family will also be strong, and generals and the like should actually have this status.

After the sedan chair went a little further away, Tian Buli sat on the bed and chatted with the beautiful female steward who was lying next to him.

"Has the general never learned martial arts? Why doesn't he look like a master, or is he hiding his skills?"

Lan He chuckled and said, "To be able to sit on the throne of a general, it all depends on one's connections. It's not one's connections in the army, but one's connections in the court. It has nothing to do with whether he has martial arts skills or not."

"Besides, the general doesn't need to rush into a fight. He is usually protected by a group of people, or he issues orders in the tent. He doesn't need to go to a dangerous place."

"It doesn't matter if I die. There are many warriors who want to be generals."

Tian Buli felt even more that the status of warriors and military officers in this world was low.

Lan He looked at Tian Buli and said, "You shouldn't have wasted your time talking to them. You are a distinguished guest of the Princess's Mansion. They wouldn't dare to provoke you in the sedan chair. But you left by yourself, so they naturally thought you were easy to bully."

Tian Buli sighed and said, "I still have to take the imperial examination. I must study hard after I go home this time and try to pass the examination to become a scholar next year."

Lan He said, "Don't worry, with my wife here, what's the problem for a little scholar?"

"I still want to rely on myself. This time it was Mr. Hu who guaranteed me, and I don't want to cause him trouble." Tian Buli decided to speak with his real talents and skills, and he also remembered that it was Hu Yuwei who guaranteed him this year.

Seeing that this person wanted to work hard on his own again and was unwilling to rely on the favor of the Princess's Mansion, Lan He sat up anxiously.

"You are such a difficult person to talk to. When I get to the mansion tomorrow, I will have to talk to Madam about your temper and explain your stubborn nature in advance so that we don't get confused when the conversation ends."

Tian Buli smiled, lay down and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Lan. I'll lie down and take a nap first. There will definitely be a lot of things to do tomorrow."

"Okay, you take a rest." Lan He nodded to Tian Buli, and then shouted to the outside: "Chunhong, find a quiet place to rest, and leave tomorrow morning."

The two maids, Chunhong and Xiaqing, quickly obeyed the order, found the place where they had rested before coming, and began to rest for the night.

When Tian Buli was lying down to sleep, two maids came into the private room.

Chunhong and Xiaqing took off their shoes, climbed onto the bed, and began to sit on the edge of the bed to wash their feet.

Chunhong said gently to Tian Buli who had stood up, "My dear husband, just lie down. We can squeeze together to spend the night. It won't bother you, right?"

"It's okay." Tian Buli quickly lay down again and slept facing the wall of the sedan.

Tian Buli closed his eyes and rested, listening to the sound of someone taking off clothes or something behind him.

Not long after, I felt a body bumping into me from behind.

At first, their shoulders touched each other's shoulders, and then, as if seeing that I didn't react, they gradually became bolder and started to stick to my back and put their little hands into my clothes.

Tian Buli wanted to take the good stuff home and give it to the rabbit lady or the dragonfly, so he quickly and seriously stopped this harassment.

"Sleep, don't ruin my practice!"

Lan He, who was lying on his side in the back and trying to queue, knew that this was impossible and quickly scolded, "Chunhong! Go to sleep! Don't disturb your husband!"

Chunhong quickly withdrew her hand, "My dear young master, please forgive me! I know I was wrong!"

"Nothing." Tian Buli didn't want to make trouble, so he turned his back to the three people, closed his eyes and said, "Go to sleep."

The four of them slept together for the whole night. Tian Buli turned over at some point and when he woke up, he found himself hugging the maid.

She put her legs on herself and her hands on her heart.

Tian Buli quickly touched his pants and fortunately, he had not made any mistakes.

Next time I meet a master, I will ask him whether I should abstain from sex and how many times a month is good.

Tian Buli sat up. Lan He and another maid had already put on their clothes and were lying on the side reading books.

When Lan He saw Tian Buli getting up, he smiled and said, "Nizi, don't be ashamed. Hurry up and get up. We are already in the city and will be there before noon."

Tian Buli quickly looked out the window and ignored the maid who was shyly pretending to be asleep and then got up.

We set out at noon yesterday and arrived outside Qitian Mansion before noon.

Just judging from the walking skills, I am definitely not as good as these eight people.

Not only did they rush around day and night, they also rested for a few hours and then carried the eight-man sedan that held four people.

In terms of martial arts, I am definitely not as good as him.

But now he can sit in the sedan chair and be intimate with the beauty, while those people have to carry the sedan chair and run around day and night. It is definitely not because of their martial arts skills.

Tian Buli thought of the general he met yesterday, and remembered the time when he used to sell tofu and smile.

Suddenly, I felt much better.

It’s good to cultivate immortality. It’s really good to cultivate immortality.

Tian Buli lay down again, leaning against the quilt behind him and crossing his legs.

It wasn't for the purpose of practicing Lei Ba Gong and paralyzing his legs, but it just made him feel much more relaxed.

When cultivating immortality, one seeks to be free and at ease, and not live in a servile manner.

Nowadays, this has basically been achieved. Even if you go to the Princess's Mansion, you will most likely enter as a guest.

Looking back to the past, I was still a village slave, but now I can not only leave the county town, but also walk through the main gate into the palace of the royal family.

It's wonderful.

The sedan became quiet again. Lan He didn't know that Tian Buli's mentality was sublimated at this time. Seeing that Tian Buli was not practicing, he started chatting.

"My dear husband, are you hungry? Would you like to have some sweet fruit?"

Tian Buli smiled and said, "No need. Normally, we don't eat much for three meals a day. Let's eat together at noon."

Lan He has been a maid in the princess's mansion for a long time. She has been promoted from a maid to a supervisor, and she has indeed developed a lot of skills in observing people's words and expressions.

"What good thing did my young master think of? Why do you look so happy?"

Tian Buli also had nothing to do, so he smiled and said, "There are too many good things happening, and I don't need to care about other people's faces. I can laugh naturally if I want to."

Lan He moved from the head of the bed to the position next to Tian Buli and sat next to Tian Buli.

"What my young husband said is that we should live happily while we are alive."

Lan He felt that after getting up today, Tian Buli's mood was obviously much better. He was not like yesterday, always thinking about all the good and bad things.

Today, Tian Buli was going to meet the princess. Lan He hoped that Tian Buli would be in a good mood to meet him. He was afraid that he would say something wrong and ruin his mood, so he started to talk about some warm-up topics. The sedan bearer outside returned to the princess's mansion soon.

This was the second time Tian Buli came in. The first time he also entered through the main gate, he was led by Qi Daozon.

Lan He had already tidied up her hair and clothes, and took out something like a medicine bottle, and applied some floral water or perfume to remove the odor on her body.

I slept in a narrow sedan last night, so I do smell easily.

Tian Buli often slept with rabbits, and suddenly he thought that he might have that smell on his body, but he was just used to it and didn't realize it.

Lan He looked at Tian Buli and said with a smile, "My dear husband, go to the East Courtyard to rest first, have some tea to moisten your mouth, then take a bath and change clothes. You smell like the rouge and powder of us women. I will send someone to call you after the food is ready."

Tian Buli nodded, "Okay."

The Princess's Mansion is neither big nor small, with rockery, water, gardens and courtyards, but it is not as big as Xia's Manor.

After going to the guest room, she took a bath and changed her clothes with the help of two beautiful maids, and then was led to the banquet hall.

There were only the host and his wife in the hall, including the handsome Qi Daozon, who was 1.8 meters tall and tall, and the elegant, young and beautiful Princess Hanjiang, who was otherworldly.

Tian Buli understood immediately that this place was just the private residence of the princess and her husband. There was no large family of relatives and thugs like the Xia Family Manor, so apart from maids, slaves, and helpers, not too many people and space were needed.

"Han Jiang has met fellow Daoist."

Princess Hanjiang took the initiative to greet them, slightly bowed her knees and said hello to this inner sect Taoist friend.

Tian Buli quickly said politely: "No, I am just an ordinary person, much younger than you, I should be the one to greet the two adults first."

Qi Dao Zong smiled and said, "You're welcome. My husband and I have been in this city for many years, and we rarely meet people who have not seen us before. Please take a seat, young friend."

"Okay." Tian Buli gradually became less polite.

The three of them sat at a round table, on which were placed various exquisite-looking and expensive foods.

Lan He and another maid poured wine for the three people one by one. Lan He poured wine for Qi Dao Zong and Princess Han Jiang, while the maid stood beside Tian Buli and poured wine.

"Please!" Qi Daozon raised his glass to toast.

"Thank you." Tian Buli raised his glass and looked at the two men, then lowered his head to drink.

The drink gave a sweet and cool feeling as soon as it entered my mouth, but was followed by warmth, as if I was drinking soup down my throat.

Not only was the wine good, but the princess's mansion also served delicious dishes when entertaining guests.

After more than ten minutes of politeness, Princess Hanjiang said, "You are so lucky, Taoist friend. Taoist Master Liuyun of Liuyun Peak has been practicing for more than a thousand years. There was already Taoist Master Liuyun when there was no Yanxia Mountain or Liuyun Peak."

Tian Buli knew nothing about his cheap master, he just knew that she was beautiful and generous.

"Please tell me more. I met the master on the road. I was in a hurry to go home when he stopped me. I know very little about Yanxia Mountain and the master."

Princess Hanjiang nodded and smiled, "I don't know much. About thirty-five years ago, the Holy Emperor issued an order to gather the monks from all states into one sect. From among them, he selected monks who could grow plants and control the wind and clouds. No matter if they were demons or Buddhists before, they would all be orthodox after being canonized."

"Fourteen places, twenty doors to practice."

"Yanxia Mountain took advantage of the situation at that time and gathered monks from various sects. The sect mainly used the art of harmony. Although it did not have the ability to stimulate the growth of plants, most places have had good weather and good harvests over the years."

"It was also at that time that I studied Taoism with many royal sisters and brothers. People kept dropping out along the way. A few years ago, I was the only royal disciple left in this state. It has been thirty-five years now."

"When our founder founded our sect, he was about to ascend to heaven. It was more than ten years after the sect was established that he passed the calamity and ascended to heaven. Now, Taoist Liuyun is the second immortal after the founder."

Tian Buli asked curiously, "I heard from Master that the strongest person in the world is the Holy Emperor. Didn't the Holy Emperor leave any unique skills to his Holy Son or Holy Grandson?"

Princess Hanjiang and Qi Daozong both looked unhappy. Princess Hanjiang said, "There is no such thing. Even if there is, I don't know about it."

Qi Daozong said: "In these years, I have never heard of anyone being given any cultivation techniques. The Holy Emperor has great powers, whether it is calling the wind and rain or moving mountains and seas, it is just ordinary, but most of the royal children are mortals."

"The Holy Emperor cultivates his mind and cultivates his spirit, and does not care for women. Every day, in addition to government affairs, he inspects officials and reads a wide range of books. Therefore, in the past forty or fifty years, no new prince has been born."

"The rest of the side disciples are mostly laymen. Not to mention the talent for cultivation, even their literary and martial arts skills are pitifully poor."

Tian Buli did not continue to ask about such royal secrets, and soon started talking about other random issues.

The royal family is inherently ruthless, and the relationship between father and son is weak, let alone the cultivator emperor.

People who can live for thousands or even millions of years will only treat ordinary children as pets.

Princess Hanjiang’s master is a second-generation disciple, not a disciple of the partners in Yanxia Mountain.

The monks from several hilltops of Yanxia Mountain all came together to establish Yanxia Mountain with their own abilities. Although they are all good at calling the wind and rain and directing water, there are differences between them.

The main vein is Yanxia Peak, which focuses on pure Taoist health-preserving kung fu.

Liuyun Peak is just as Taoist Liuyun defines himself, good at transformation and movement, and does not have many direct means of attack.

Qi Daozon is an outer disciple of the main lineage and has learned skills for three years on the mountain. Princess Hanjiang is also a third-generation disciple of this lineage and met Qi Daozon on the mountain.

The ancestor is the ancestor of Princess Hanjiang, but Taoist Liuyun and the founder of the sect are partners and fellow Taoists. In terms of seniority alone, Tian Buli should be their uncle.

However, Yanxia Mountain, like many immortal sects that have only been established for a few decades, is a partnership relationship, so there is no emphasis on the relationship between master and disciple, and it is enough to just call each other fellow Taoists.

Some disciples from powerful peaks are arrogant and refuse to acknowledge their junior brothers, junior sisters, or senior brothers and sisters from nearby branches.

After chatting with Princess Hanjiang and her husband for three or four hours, Tian Buli knew that his master was not a top-level master, but a senior master.

Among all the cultivators in the world, he is not considered very powerful, but among the cultivators, he is already an existence that many people cannot reach.

The monks do not judge each other by their lethality, and they rarely fight to the death, so apart from the recognized strongest one, there is almost no division of strength.

Basically, to judge whether a cultivator is powerful or not, the first thing to look at is his age. Generally speaking, the older he is, the more powerful he is.

The second thing is how many magic weapons you have. The more, the better.

The second thing is where they practice, how many disciples there are in the sect, and whether there are any big bosses protecting them.

Princess Hanjiang may seem to have average cultivation, but she has the Tianyue Dynasty behind her and the strongest man in charge, so she still has to be polite and not lose her manners.

Even among military officers, it is not the one with the highest martial arts skills who becomes the general.

The same is true for cultivating immortals. Those with the greatest destructive power and lethality are not the mainstream. Some are even listed as evil cults because they are not taken seriously and are useless to the Holy Emperor because they do not obey discipline.

After eating and drinking, Princess Hanjiang suggested, "I heard from the maid that when you practice, there is a cloud of energy. I wonder if you can let my husband and I watch for a while while you practice?"

Tian Buli was easy to talk to. "Of course, but I tend to forget about others when I concentrate on my cultivation."

Princess Hanjiang smiled and said, "This is a good thing. We will wait and see for a while and then leave. We will not disturb you in your practice."

"Okay!" Tian Buli didn't mind.
