Chapter 64: The Affair of Xiucai's Family

"Mother-in-law, come on, let's eat!" Bai Lu brought out a few dishes, braised rabbit meat, braised eggplant in oil, and cold cucumber, because he was afraid that eating too much ordinary food would not be conducive to cultivation, Bai Lu quietly dropped a drop of chalcedony liquid in the water and diluted it for cooking rice.

"Well, the little girl's cooking skills are getting better and better, my wife is blessed!" Old Lady Yu looked at Bai Lu with a smile, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Bai Lu was a little embarrassed, it was a special experience to be praised like this when she was old.

"I don't know if it was the kid of that family who begged you to go, mother-in-law, I have not cooked as well as you have cooked all my life, you have made it extra tender, and it tastes comfortable all over. Old Lady Yu thoughtfully, "Maybe, you are really the fairy of that family!"

Bai Lu smiled shyly, no way, the function of this chalcedony liquid is still a bit obvious to mortals, especially for an old man like Granny Yu, she has been diluted with a whole tank of water, and she has been tasted by her mother-in-law, it seems that this mother-in-law is a bit of a doorway. I knew that it wouldn't be so troublesome, even if I ate a few meals, it would be fine to go back and find a way to wash the marrow, and I wasted a drop of chalcedony liquid. But after thinking about it, my mother-in-law gave her precious pendant to herself, how could she not trust and love herself, this drop of chalcedony liquid can remove the Shen Ke on her mother-in-law's body, so that she can die without illness and pain, which can be regarded as her own mind.

After eating, Mrs. Yu intentionally or unintentionally picked out a few classics for Bai Lu, and asked her to take a good look at what "Nanhua Sutra", "Tao Te Ching" and "Taishang Dongyuan Mantra" are all over the place.

"Little girl, mother-in-law doesn't have much else here, only these books, see if you are very interested in these, take a look, there are annotations made by mother-in-law, if you don't understand it, ask your mother-in-law, ah?" Old Lady Yu decided that since Bai Lu was destined for the pendant, then she naturally had a wisdom root for these things she would know, and she was old and didn't have a few years to live, if she could find a little girl to pass on her skills. However, people are not as good as heaven, Bai Lu is not too proficient in Taoist classics, these things have been thoroughly studied by Bai Lu as early as in the small study of the merchant. Fortune telling, divination, feng shui, and the like are still quite simple for Bai Lu, a former Jindan real person, because everyone in the cultivation world knows how to calculate with one or two hands, which is much more accurate than these of mortals.

Bai Lu smiled and said yes, took a few books to say goodbye to her mother-in-law, although she didn't know the specific origin of the fairy Niangniang when she came here, but the news in her mind made Bai Lu excited, and this trip was really not a loss.

Bai Lu, who returned to the courtyard of the Yu family, said hello to Aunt Chunlan and went into the house to stay. She has to make some preparations, although the people in the Zhuangzi think that the fairy Niangniang is a good fairy, but for Bai Lu, it is really difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, after all, it is easy to know that the fairy came to this Zhuangzi because she wanted to obtain the power of faith, but she didn't know what role the Xiucai Ye played in it, but unfortunately, the Xiucai Ye was said to have died of illness, otherwise Bai Lu could still go to see the situation.

Although Bai Lu has been practicing diligently in the past few days, his cultivation is still at the third level of Qi training. As a monk in the early stage of Qi training, his lethality is actually limited, and his spiritual power is thin, so he can just use some small spells similar to cleansing techniques, and his physical fitness is a little better than that of ordinary people, and even less powerful than a martial artist among mortals. Bai Lu looked at the talismans given by Shang Yushan in the storage bag, and felt a little relieved.

There is no way to do it if your cultivation is low, and it will take less than a month to cultivate this physical body, and it is already up to the Tianshui Spiritual Root to have the third level of Qi cultivation. Bai Lu returned to her room to meditate and adjust her state.

"Chunlan, did the little girl say when she was leaving?" asked Chunlan's mother-in-law, Lin Qinqin.

"No, that girl hasn't seen anyone all day long, and I asked her this morning if she wants her father-in-law to talk to the house!" Chunlan said while holding the sole of the shoe in her hand.

"Oh, that's good" Old Lady Yu glanced at Bai Lu's room a few times, and when she saw that there was no movement, she whispered to Chunlan: "Chunlan, you beat the side drum at the little girl's place and let her stay for a few more days and go back." You see, yesterday the house sent another 5 taels of silver, which may allow our family to eat and drink for two years. Coax her more, if she asks about the affairs of the house, she will say that there is no news from the house, remember, she must be good to others, so that she will not blame us if she finds something wrong when she goes back in the future. "The old lady has been poor all her life, and she has never touched silver, and now she has made a fortune by relying on white dew.

"Mother, if the little girl goes back late, she won't have a place in the house, and they all say that the rich and noble people have to turn a few more turns in their minds to even say a word, can we fool such a person?"

"If you can't, you can, listen to me, that's 5 taels of silver, think about Xiaobao, if you have money and can have your own land, you don't have to give it to someone else's family all year round!" Chunlan held the insole silently, and I don't know if I listened.

No matter what kind of edge the two of them fought, Bai Lu had long been immersed in the pleasure of absorbing spiritual power, and the aura in the air was guided by Bai Lu into the veins and veins, and after the Great Zhou Tian was infected with the unique attributes of Bai Lu's aura, slowly enriching the dantian, this feeling of increasing little by little through her own efforts made her so addicted.

Soon night fell, as long as Bai Lu didn't say it explicitly, Chunlan would not send her food, although it was very strange that Bai Lu went there to eat, but she wouldn't ask more, a smart person like Bai Lu who was valued in the house, Chunlan just had to listen, her family knew her own family affairs, she was not shrewd enough, or don't take more sides with those shrewd people so as not to be bought by others and don't know, this is the way of life of honest people.

After a few more big weeks, the spiritual power in the muscles and veins became faintly lively, Bai Lu knew that it would not be long before he would be able to break through the third layer and enter the fourth layer of qi training, and when he practiced qi fifty percent, his magic weapons could exert their true power, and now he spent most of his spiritual power to be able to launch one and a half moves, which was too passive.

The surroundings gradually quieted down, and Bai Lu quietly walked under the largest locust tree to the west of Zhuangzi. Today at the old goddess Yu's place, Bai Lu got the news that tonight is the third watch, see you under the big locust tree.

It's August, which happens to be the flowering season of the locust tree. Clusters of small white and clear flowers hang in the treetops, bringing a sweet floral fragrance. Bai Lu came earlier, and there were still people sitting in twos and twos under the locust tree to talk at night. Bai Lu didn't go over, standing in a corner that was not easy to find and listening carefully, maybe he could hear a few useful words. It's all big men gossiping in the shade, and the daughters-in-law at home are busy with housework and don't have so much spare time to enjoy the shade. Bai Lu listened for a long time, and it was just a matter of who's land was more promising, whose kid had the potential to go out to learn what kind of work, and if it was not useful at all, he would throw away his hand and not listen.

I don't know who mentioned the original owner's talent, and everyone talked about it.

"This Sun Xiucai is also a good fate, and he has only enjoyed the blessing of a few years, if it were me, I would sleep on a high bed and soft pillow for a few years, even if it was my life, I would admit it. A younger man said.

"Hey, you're not right. It is said that this Sun Xiucai is very smart, and he was only a teenager when he was a teenager, and Xiucai would have become a master if his mother hadn't died and he would have to keep filial piety for a few years, and he would have become a man long ago, and Xiucai didn't know where to make a fortune, if only I knew that I would also make a fortune. ”

A swarthy old peasant on the side glanced at what he had just said and said with a smile, "That wealth, that's so easy to make, don't give your life." Do you all know how the show died?"

"Didn't you say that it was tuberculosis, and it didn't work until it died. On the day of the funeral, I also took a look at it from a distance, and the face was thin and only a leather wrapper, how could there be a show of talent's original polite appearance, tsk tsk~ It's really miserable. ”

"This disease is strange, you think about it, although Xiucaiye's body is not strong, but he has never been sick all year round, and then he made a fortune, and he made a fortune every day, but he gave birth to such a fatal disease, isn't it strange. The old man looked around, saw that everyone looked at him hesitantly, and then said with satisfaction: "Also, I don't know if you have seen that talented lady, who looks as beautiful as a fairy, anyway, my old man has never seen such a beautiful woman in his life, just like the goblin, but don't be a goblin." ”

"How is this possible, I have also seen the talented lady, people can know the book, they know that it is the daughter of a big family, it can't be that the big family of that family fell in love with the talent of the talented man and promised to match the daughter to others. If a large amount of dowry is given, it can be regarded as the past that this talented man suddenly made a fortune. The younger man said.

"Cut, what do you know when you are young? That Xiucai is from the village next door, and we watched him grow up, when did we see him hold a banquet and get married, and there was nothing hired by the three media and six hires, and suddenly a Xiucai lady came out and everyone knew that she was married, otherwise who knows? And every day of the lady's family came to visit, who knows who it is? Even now, after Xiucai died, who of you knows the whereabouts of Xiucai's lady!" The old man looked at the younger man with the look you have seen.

"That's a fairy!" the young man was a little frightened.

"I know that the fairy Niangniang we worship every day is what Xiucai asked us to worship, isn't it very effective?" Seeing that everyone nodded in unison, the old man smiled, "So I never worship, why? Because the Buddha and the old man are not so effective, this fairy is still the strange Xiucai Ye who died, can there be some problems, so Lao Tzu, I just don't worship, hehe, see who can take me?"

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and a cool breeze blew, and the wind that usually felt cool seemed to carry a strong chill.

"That, Uncle Mao, it's getting late, I'll go back first, you guys talk slowly?" After speaking, the young man ran away. Seeing this, the others also left silently.

"Hehe, these little rabbits, their guts are getting smaller and smaller, and your grandpa Mao has taken a few random nonsense seriously. Come on, let's go back to sleep, oh my god, it's finally cool!" After speaking, he shook the grass fan and shook it away.
