Demon King's Bather

"Big cousin, are we going to save mother? Surely we will?" Watching the carriage gradually go away, Xiao Bai leaned against Yu Chunlai and murmured.

"I will! I promise!" Yu Chunlai put his arms around Xiaobai's thin shoulders. He already had a preliminary plan in his heart, but he didn't plan to tell Xiaobai and the others until all the conditions were ripe. After all, he was still young. As for the cubs, in his opinion, cubs should eat and play foolishly without any worries, and leave these troubles to them, the grown monsters.

As the new owner of the other courtyard, after re-vacating all the courtyards, Yu Chunlai naturally took His Royal Highness the Demon King to live in the main courtyard, which was the large courtyard that had been vacant and once belonged to the regent Tang Yongli.

From the outside, this courtyard looks like an independent courtyard, with a high and cold wall outside. Inside, the front yard is an open area paved with bluestone bricks, without any trees. There are three houses in a row in front, and It is a living room, with Tang Yonglian's study on the east and a tea room on the west.

Further back, through a small garden with rockery spring water in the middle, there is another row of three houses behind, this is the place where Tang Yongliu rests on weekdays, no idlers can come in, not even Bai Ling from the past came.

"Tsk tsk~ Your Highness the Regent really has no interest in life!" Seeing the master bedroom decorated like an exclusive study for an eighty-year-old man, Yu Chunlai curled his lips, greeted other monsters, and picked himself out of the warehouse. The furniture and thick carpets were laid out, and those flashy antique shelves and flower stands were removed, and a duck-egg blue window screen was replaced, and the whole room suddenly looked much cleaner and brighter.

There is an uncle cat in the house, so flowers cannot be placed. However, Yu Chunzi has a way. He moved a white porcelain vat that was originally used to hold calligraphy and paintings in the study room to the small flower hall outside the bedroom, and then took a bunch of fresh flowers. The lotus leaves and lotus flowers were raised in it, and a few very energetic small fish were thrown into the water to raise them, and the whole room suddenly became much brighter.

Because he was worried about the three little ones, Yu Chunlai specially tidied up the next bedroom as well. Inside, there was a large carved bed for Bai Er and Jiu Huan, and for Xiao Bai to sleep in the green gauze cupboard outside. , the three cubs sleep in the same room so that they can take care of each other. Yu Chunlai has always paid attention to training the cubs' ability to survive independently. Now, the three cubs in the family can wash and dress themselves, and clean the room. No problem.

There are too many rooms in this other courtyard. There are more than a dozen independent courtyards, large and small, and the area is estimated to be two to three hundred acres. Only the royal family can be so rich, right?

With so many houses, they couldn't live in them all. Yu Chunlai thought about it and decided to build a wall to separate the three courtyards behind where they lived, and the front one, because there is a gate to enter and exit, and there is a very beautiful courtyard. Yu Chunlai decided to tidy up those yards, put away all the valuables and vacate the house, and planned to find some people to build a villa here where they could eat and relax.

Anyway, they only come to live here occasionally, and there are enough courtyards in the back. If it weren't for the fact that this is a royal courtyard that cannot be sold, and of course no one would dare to buy it, he would have found an intermediary to sell the entire courtyard. up.

Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for my aunt to come back here to live again. They will also go back to the Great Barren Mountain after staying here for a few days.There are too many intrigues in the mortal world. Although Yu Chunlai is not afraid, he is annoying.

Originally, when his aunt left, they were going back to the mountains, but he thought that the winter in Dahuang Mountain was very cold, and thought that he would go down the mountain anyway, so he simply bought a batch of wintering supplies and went back.

In addition to cloth and cotton, some oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, needles, thread, etc. have to be bought back, as well as various grains such as soybeans and mung beans. In winter, they can be ground to make miscellaneous grain noodles, and can also be soaked in water. Eat bean sprouts.There are still many cubs at home, so I have to buy some wheat to go back and make some maltose.

However, when I was shopping, I learned that they were the honored guests of the Regent who lived in the Royal Courtyard. The lord of Qinghu City even specially ordered someone to send a batch of winter supplies. There are also five carts of all kinds of rice, noodles, grains, etc. In addition, there are some more expensive nourishing medicinal materials, gold and silver coins engraved with auspicious words for giving out red envelopes during the New Year, and the people who came to give gifts are also very polite, saying that their city lord Speaking of which, he can be regarded as the younger generation of His Royal Highness the Regent, and His Royal Highness's distinguished guests live in Qinghu City, so they naturally need to take care of them.

Yu Chunlai couldn't help laughing in his heart, when his aunt was trapped in another hospital a few days ago, why didn't these people come to show their hospitality?This time, seeing that his aunt was really taken back to the palace by the Prince Regent as a side concubine, he felt that they were qualified to be relatives of the City Lord, right?

However, knowing what to understand, he still politely returned the gift. They were all some fur and wild honey, which are special products of the Great Barren Mountain.Presumably the meaning of the City Lord's Mansion is the same. They are the copycat imperial relatives of the side concubine's natal family, and it's enough for them to look good.

Returning to the Great Barren Mountain again, all the monsters couldn't help but feel a sense of "being close to home". No matter how good the outside world is, the Great Barren Mountain gave them a different feeling. This is their hometown.

Because I promised Ye Shuanghua that I would help him make two hundred cans of crispy soy bean chili sauce before winter, Yu Chunlai was busy asking the helper monsters to pick off the brittle bones and some tough spots on the prey as soon as he came back, and used Seasonings such as star anise pepper are stewed, chopped and fried for later use.

Under the influence of Yu Chunlai, the monsters in Dahuangshan now know that every part of the prey is useful, large pieces of meat can be used to stew or make meat jerky, bones can be used to cook soup, Even some tough places in the middle of the bones can be picked out separately to make hot sauce ingredients.

"I'm not at home recently, how do you adjust your breathing according to the method I said last time?" Yu Chunlai asked while making chili sauce, grabbing a monster who was helping the cook.

"That formula is very useful! I haven't gone crazy for a month." The monster who was asked happily rubbed his hands, "Boss Yu, I have already practiced this formula. Can I use it next? Have you learned a new spell?"

"Well, let me ask again. If there are many monsters who have practiced well, the class will start tonight and continue to the next chapter." Yu Chunlai nodded. It seems that he guessed right. The reason why these monsters are prone to crazy fights is because It's not that he is bloodthirsty and brutal by nature, but because he is eager for success, which instead makes the monster power in his body confused. Coupled with the unrestrained devouring of other monsters for cultivation, the power in his body is not pure enough.

In the evening, by the bright candlelight, Yu Chunlai took out the textbook he had prepared, and slowly read out the next chapter he had thought up in front of a group of dark demon heads below——

"Humans follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the heavens follow the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

This sentence comes from Laozi's "Tao De Jing", which Yu Chunlai finds to be extremely mysterious, and it is also very suitable for monsters to use to cultivate their minds.

It's a pity that the monsters have limited understanding, and after thinking hard for a long time, they still couldn't figure out what this sentence meant.

There is no way, Yu Chunlai can only explain to them in more detail——

"The superficial meaning of this sentence is that ordinary people in the world rely on the vast land to live, work and multiply; The sequence of time; the 'Avenue' is based on the nature of nature, let nature take its course and make it what it is."

All the monsters were stunned by this pile of "how" and "why", and they were secretly startled. They all felt that this powerless Boss Yu was really hiding something, even such a profound mystery I can figure out the practice formulas, which is really amazing!

"So it's useless to just know how to fight! You need to use your brain!" The wolf demon Hui didn't figure out what this "road" was, but it didn't matter, Yu Chunlai liked his cub Xiaohua very much. For the sake of the cubs, they often come to ask privately for advice, and their learning progress is completely at the level of a big brother among this group of monsters, so they are quite qualified to despise other stupid monsters.

"Yes yes yes ~ Big Brother Gray is naturally the most powerful. You said this nature, what exactly is it? I just thought about it. Boss Yu said that people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the way, and the way follows nature." , seems to mean that nature is the most powerful, what is nature? And that Tao, what is it?"

Of course the wolf demon Hui didn't know, but he had just learned the skill of pretending to be coercive from Yu Chunlai recently, so Hui pretended to be enlightened, and flicked the non-existent dust on his sleeve, Shi Shiran replied: " Do you think I realized it or not?"

Fortunately, these monsters couldn't beat him, otherwise he would have to be beaten into a pig's head by this wolf monster.

Now, at night in the Great Barren Mountain, there is no longer a group of monsters idling and fighting in group fights. Those who come here for class in Yu Chun will rush back to the cave after class, sneaking to meditate and enlightenment.

And those monsters who are not qualified to enter this cave to listen to Teacher Yu's lectures are not idle, and start running between Dahuang Mountain and Weancang Mountain, serving as "couriers" to help deliver goods, so that when the next batch of students is recruited, They are eligible for priority selection.

Compared with these adult monsters, the cubs are obviously better treated, because when Yu Chunlai lectures the cubs, he doesn't just teach them how to read, he also properly analyzes the text for them.

"Brother Yu, what is Dao?"

"In the beginning there was Tao, and Tao was with God, and Tao was God."

"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. The world and all things are born of 'Tao', which is the origin of everything."

Well, the cubs were also stunned by a group of "Tao".
