Chapter 153: Entering Beijing
Bai Lu's current life can be regarded as very nourishing, and he gets up every day to practice the "Purple Qi Decision" first, although he can get very little purple qi now, and only one or two out of ten times can get it. Then there was the reception of those guests who came from the original way, although there were only three places per day, but Bai Lu still encountered some very tricky things.
During this period, it turned out that Mei Ruoxi in the village actually took the initiative to submit to Bai Lu, saying that she was willing to help her deal with those things that needed to go out to deal with and were more time-consuming, but hoped that Bai Lu could leave a seat for her next to her golden elephant.
Of course, Bai Lu will not agree to this kind of thing, and it is not so easy for him to obtain the power of these beliefs, not to mention what kind of person this Mei Ruoxi is, can he not know what kind of person he is? When attacking Huang Tian, he let himself be alone in front of the fire, and in the end, he didn't even share any benefits to himself, Bai Lu didn't believe that there would be one or two good things in the Huangtian Cave Mansion with so many little demons under him, although the current Bai Lu was not rare.
All in all, even if someone like Mei Ruoxi is sent to the door, Bai Lu doesn't want to deal with it. After refusing Mei Ruoxi very simply, this Mei Ruoxi didn't have any secret hands against Bai Lu, Bai Lu was also strange for a while, after all, because of her own reasons, now the believers around who originally believed in the female fairy Niangniang should believe in the Moon Fairy Niangniang, and it is not easy to come to her life, otherwise she would not pull down her face to beg for her rising star.
Bai Lu didn't think much about it, originally something like the power of faith was to fight. Now Bai Lu's cultivation is not high, and he can't use his supernatural powers, otherwise he needs to help others solve problems with a large amount of money like now.
But it's also fast, it is said that the Tang family wants to build a temple on the gourd mountain, and when the golden body is built, Bai Lu cultivates a little higher, and you can capture the wishes of the believers and choose the sincere person to complete. In this way, it can be regarded as truly walking on the path of Shinto.
Of course, this kind of thinking is still very early, Bai Lu has just solved the problem of the power of faith being polluted, and he is eager to meditate every day to absorb the endless power of faith.
There is such a difference between cultivating the Divine Way and cultivating the Immortal Dao. Cultivating the Immortal Dao focuses on the realm. If the realm is not reached, it will not be promoted, which is what we call the bottleneck as we say, and Shinto, as long as there is the power of faith, there is no limit to the mana that can be cultivated, that is to say, there is no bottleneck at all. Of course, there is another important point, that is, if there is no power of faith, or if the power of faith is weakened, Bai Lu's mana will be weakened, and it will be used a little less, until it does not finally become a mortal at all.
Even if all of Bai Lu's energy has now turned into golden pseudo-immortal power, but the power of faith is a kind of energy that exists, even if all her other spiritual powers have turned into golden immortal power, the capacity of the power of faith will not change, and there are still so many of them.
Under the nourishment of Bai Lu's pseudo-immortal energy, Xiao Haiqi did not get bigger but became much smaller, and looked almost the same age as when he was born. Bai Lu also checked Xiao Haiqi's body and found that there was nothing bad about it, and she didn't know much about Hai Qi, so after observing it for a few days and finding that Xiao Haiqi was much more lively than before, she was also relieved. It's just that there are more and more headaches when this little sea squeaks out of the problem, and something strange will happen if you are not careful, sometimes it is to eat spirit stones, and there will be things where the spirit stones accidentally roll into your mouth and choke yourself, if it weren't for Bai Lu's quick opportunity, this little thing would almost return to the west.
The time of Bailu here passed without itching or pain, and he completed the first stage of body refining, followed by the second stage of body refining, and also participated in a wedding of the eldest lady of the Xue family in the middle.
Hua Teng's family also informed Bai Lu of the day he went to Beijing, and the time he stayed in Jinling was very small.
Bai Lu thought that the eldest lady of the Xue family had already given a lot of things, and thought that as long as she lived a good life, nothing would happen. As for the discord between husband and wife after she said about getting married, Bai Lu also persuaded her to take the pregnancy pill on the night of marriage, and give birth to a child early, so there would not be much problem in serving her mother-in-law. Although the husband and children are very important in married life, the mother-in-law and children are more important, so although it is not said that you can live too much happiness, it is also good to live a plain life.
Originally, Bai Lu was worried that Yu Shenpo was old and didn't want to leave her hometown to go so far, but she didn't expect Yu Shenpo to be more active than herself, and she ordered Xiangwu and Qinghua to pack up the things she wanted to bring well.
So just a few days after Hua Teng's sister-in-law informed Bai Lu and Yu Shenpo to go on the road with their burdens, and politely said goodbye to the Hua family's aunt, saying that she was going to the capital to settle down first, after all, now her wife is still living in Jia's house, and it is really unseemly for her to be a maid and take her grandmother.
Hua Teng's family naturally knew that this hot celebrity in Jinling City, the apprentice of the immortals, was now regretting that she had already known that she would not persuade her to go back to serve her own young lady, and she also privately wanted her to be the young lady's dowry maid. This is the apprentice of the immortal, and I heard others say that the ability is great! After sending Bai Lu away vaguely, the Hua Teng family was relieved, but fortunately, he saw that something was wrong and asked people to go to Beijing to hand over the news, and now I am afraid that the news is almost in the hands of his wife, I hope that the lady can make good arrangements not to offend the people of the immortal family.
The busiest thing these days is Bai Lu, she not only has to arrange the affairs of those believers, but also needs to prepare her own pills for the second phase of refining, fortunately, most of the pills in the second phase of refining are ordinary herbs, although they are very precious to mortals, but Bai Lu has silver in his hands, and with the help of the wife of the wealthy Tang family in Jinling, he finally raised those mortal medicines, and those two elixirs, unfortunately one is still beautiful tears, and the other is a kind of spiritual grass that Bai Lu found in the sea, fire coral, this elixir likes to grow in the hot place of the sea, don't think that there is no fire aura in the sea。 In the middle of the sea, there should also be a place with a very strong aura, that is, on the edge of a volcano in the sea.
It was a coincidence, Bai Lu had entered the hot sea very strangely, and when he saw this very showy and aura fire coral, he collected a lot of it. It's just that the temperature of the sea water over there is too high, and Bai Lu, who is more in better condition, doesn't have the strength to get it, so this fire coral that Bai Lu got is also a very precious elixir in the human cultivation realm here.
Before going on the road, Bai Lu practiced a few furnaces of pills, and used all the pills that he could find medicinal materials and needed to use, so as not to have such energy to refine the pills when he arrived in the capital. How did she know that the Hua Teng family had already told Mrs. Xue about her deeds.
And now the mother and daughter of the Xue family are distressed by this news.
"What did you say! Eh, how did this maid become an apprentice of an immortal? Is this Bai Lu's ability really so good?"
"Mom, I'm afraid it's true when I hear what people say, if it weren't for that, how could even the temple be being built. ”
"Then how is this good!" Mrs. Xue has always believed in these ways of gods and ghosts, although she was a little incredulous when she heard it, just like Ye Gong Haolong, she was a little scared in her heart, but when she came back to her senses, she became excited again, and said to Baochai: "If that's the case, we shouldn't let her be your maid, even if you are my family's lady." Besides, she is only an apprentice of the immortal family now, and she has not yet become an immortal, so she must still be a **mortal, if she is adopted as an adopted daughter, I don't know if she will succeed!"
"Mom, what do you think, the apprentice of the immortal will recognize ordinary people as his mother at will. Then he thought about it again and said, "You don't have to worry too much, we haven't treated her badly all along, presumably she really came to repay her kindness this time as she said, but if she doesn't come to repay her kindness, she won't do anything to our merchant family in that capacity." They haven't paid attention to it yet!"
With Xue Baochai's words almost on the head, Mrs. Xue regained her former sanity and nodded: "Also, I was a little too shocked to hear this news, or my family's Baochai is good, the joy and anger are invisible, and it is indeed experienced." ”
Mrs. Xue took Baochai's hand and looked at it carefully, and said: "But it is my son, who should be a young lady who is golden and noble, but when she came to this Jia family, she was inferior everywhere, and she also lost that those maids and wives all said that you are so good, this group of sperm, I don't know how much effort my son has put in, if it weren't for your brother who is really useless, how could he let you live such a life." Aunt Xue became sad as she spoke, "Originally, when you were at home, even if your father loved Fu'er a little, he was also a treasure to you, and no one was angry with you, I heard that the maid of the Lin family was temperamental again?"
"Mom, no, Sister Lin, don't you know, it's just a knife mouth tofu heart, but it's cheap, and my daughter has never been angry. Thinking of Sister Lin, Xue Baochai's brows furrowed faintly, and she didn't know what was going on with Sister Lin recently, it turned out that even if she was playing a small character, she was just catching Baoyu and being angry, but now she didn't know what was going on. It's just that I don't know when I offended Sister Lin These days, I have been secretly targeting myself, giving myself some soft knives to eat, and now Baochai simply reduces the number of times she goes out, and only embroiders and learns calligraphy at home, which can be regarded as self-enjoyment.
"Mom, don't talk about these haves or not, since Bai Lu is capable and an apprentice of an immortal, no wonder she proposed to redeem herself, and now she has gone to Beijing for some reason, we really have to send someone to the concierge to pay attention, and take a good reception to see how to deal with this Bai Lu!"
The mother and daughter here discussed for a long time and didn't come up with anything, after all, it was the first time they had heard about this immortal apprentice, and they were actually their own maids, and there was no one to put this kind of thing on anyone's head.
Here Bai Lu is very comfortable in the road upstream mountains and rivers, the carriage has Bai Lu on the four wheels is painted on the simple light body runes, the road is much more comfortable than the ordinary carriage, plus the fresh meat in the white dew storage bag and the dishes she specially ordered in the restaurant, even in the wilderness Bai Lu will also find a beautiful place to stop and rest. The five of them didn't look like they were in a hurry, they were playing. However, Bai Lu's speed has not decreased much, but because of the carriage she used, it was only a little faster than the ordinary carriage at most, and it was already a month before she got to the capital in a stop-and-go period.
Fortunately, there were Bai Lu and Qing Bottle who took care of them along the way, and Yu Shenpo, who had been eating Guben Dan for a long time, was much tougher than ordinary old ladies, and she was still very energetic after entering the city.
Looking at the bustling crowd outside the carriage, Mrs. Yu sighed, "It is worthy of the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is really prosperous!"
"No, I thought Jinling City was already a good place!" said Qinghua excitedly.
Although Xiang Wu was also very excited, she only opened her mouth and smiled, she was older than Qing Bottle, and she was much more stable.
"Where have we been! It's just outside the capital, and we haven't arrived in the city yet!" It turned out that Bai Lu and his party had only arrived at the gate of the capital, and were waiting in line to enter the city.
Different from the outside of Jinling City, the guards guarding the city here look extraordinarily energetic, and their eyes are sharp, looking like the elite trained by iron and blood.
There were a lot of people entering the city, and Bai Lu's carriage lined up behind the long line, looking at the very majestic and solemn city in front of them. Different from the prosperity and delicacy of Jinling, this big city, which is the capital of previous dynasties, comes with a strong sense of vicissitudes and solemnity, which makes the hearts of people like Bai Lu who have cultivated to a low level shake their hearts.
The speed of the city guards was very fast, and soon it was Bai Lu's turn to take a look at Bai Lu's household registration, and after learning that Bai Lu was a maid living in the Xue family of Rongguo Mansion, he happily let go.
Everyone in the capital of Rongguo Mansion knows that of course it is not because of their power but because of the family style of Nafu, which has become a joke among people in Beijing after tea and dinner. Of course, now because Rongguo Mansion has a son-in-law who is favored by the saint and a daughter in the palace, and the four major families are in the same spirit, so now everyone does not dare to blatantly laugh at Rongguo Mansion, and they have to give some face.
I heard that this is the maid of the Xue family who lives in the Rongguo Mansion, and after the happy release, he also signaled to the city guard on the side, and sighed in his heart, he is worthy of being the maid of the rich family in the future, this temperament and demeanor are much better than the young lady of the big family, not to mention the peerless appearance, I am afraid that there is little time. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
