Chapter 186: Confident Li Zi (1)
April 25th, the 19th year of Jiayou.
Everything is fine.
Lu Yi moved.
A few days ago, in Baimafang, with the help of the energy contributed by the black-scaled monster, Lu Yi, in front of five great monks, used the fundamental method of "Dragon-Tiger Vajra Body" of the Vajra Temple to directly cultivate the heart acupoint to the perfect state within an hour.
The five great monks including Shi E were stunned and sent a letter directly to the main sect of the Great Vajra Temple, vowing that Lu Yi must be the reincarnation of the ancient true Buddha. They also sent back the two Buddhist verses that helped them to achieve enlightenment and break through.
Lu Yi had no time to care about how Shi'e and the others were surprised, or how the Dajingang Temple reacted.
As mentioned before, the Infinite Guixu Body is the fundamental law of the Tai Shang Bei Ming Immortal Sect. It is like the sea that embraces all rivers and the infinite Guixu Body. With the Guixu Immortal Essence and the Infinite Guixu Body, one can simulate and transform all kinds of skills.
He shows himself as the "Dragon-Tiger Vajra Body" to others, but his true form is the Infinite Guixu Body which is a hundred times more powerful and a hundred times more mysterious than the Vajra Body.
After leaving Baimafang, Lu Yi secluded himself in the ruined backyard of the Survey Office for a while. When the energy contributed by the black-scaled monster was exhausted, he successively ignited several furnaces including the lungs, liver, and kidneys.
The flames forge the body, and the energy ignites the spirit.
When he reached the Fiery Realm, Lu Yi's strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he was much stronger than before.
I will not discuss matters concerning spiritual practice for now.
On the night when Bai Lu came to seek revenge and the black-scaled monster wreaked havoc, it was fortunate that the Tianyang Mansion that was newly built for Lu Yi and even the back street to the north were not damaged at all.
Originally, the main body of the mansion covered an area of more than 1,500 acres, with an attached back street as long as two miles. The Tianyang Mansion, which had nearly a thousand small courtyards, was almost completed .
These days, the craftsmen have been working very hard, hoping to finish the work as soon as possible and leave this hellhole of Yushunfang.
Therefore, a few days ago, the entire Tianyang Mansion had been completed. Lu Yi asked someone to choose an auspicious day, and decided to officially move into the new mansion on the 25th.
The maids, palace maids, servants, etc. given by Yinyuan had already been in place several days ago and had kept the mansion clean from top to bottom.
The destroyed Yushunfang is being rebuilt in a hurry, and everyone in the Dayin court is busy covering up the ugly scars of the past few days with new buildings and new residents.
Lu Yi was too embarrassed to hold a grand celebration as he didn't have any close friends in Gaojing whom he had to invite.
So when moving into the new mansion, Lu Yi kept it very low-key. He invited Lu Yu's family and a group of elders from the clan to a banquet, and asked the monk Shi E to capture a group of young monks, have them walk around the huge mansion a few times, and recite scriptures for blessing and house protection, and the matter was covered up.
Everything went smoothly. The only thing worth mentioning was that Yinqi, commissioned by Yinyuan, went to Lu Yi's house in person on the day of his wedding and gave Lu Yi a big red envelope.
Oh, there is another thing worth mentioning, that is, the fairy residence of Qingyou and the other two girls was also completely destroyed that night. At the invitation of Lu Yi, the three girls saw that Lu Yi’s mansion was so huge and beautifully built, so they were not polite and stayed in Lu Yi’s mansion.
April 26th.
Early in the morning.
Lu Yi slowly stood up from the unfamiliar bed.
He looked around at the unfamiliar environment, then nodded and told himself: "Oh, a new home."
"Ding", a pretty and gentle little palace maid with an oval face struck the jade chime, "Master, please stand up", and the long shouts spread out one after another, and all kinds of movements were heard outside immediately.
A team of more than 20 young palace maids came in carrying various basins, spittoons, hair oils, towels and other items. Before Lu Yi could react, more than a dozen small hands grabbed him.
"Master, please don't move."
"Sir, please stand still."
"Sir, I'll be right there."
"Master, look this way."
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Yi, whose whole body was sleek and shiny and seemed to be glowing, almost ran out of the room and ran to the restaurant in front, panting.
Then, with dozens of people watching, Lu Yi trembled with fear, as if he was on the edge of an abyss, and ate an overly extravagant breakfast. During the entire meal, Lu Yi did not move a finger, and was completely at the level of opening his mouth when food came.
Several times, Lu Yi wanted to grab the chopsticks and eat heartily, but when he saw the little palace maids trembling with fear and almost crying, Lu Yi's head started to hurt and he could only let them do as they pleased.
After breakfast, Lu Yi, accompanied by nearly a hundred people, walked for nearly half a quarter of an hour from the living area at the back to the lobby of the second courtyard in the front.
Sitting in the lobby which was lavishly decorated and furnished with all kinds of items that were originally made for official use, many of which were valuable antiques, Lu Yi frowned as he looked around at the maids and palace maids who were standing solemnly with their hands hanging down, carefully observing and sizing up their own maids.
They were all trained by the strict rules of the palace, and caution was ingrained in their nature.
This was their first time serving Lu Yi, and they didn't know Lu Yi's temper, but as a young man who had suddenly become rich, it was inevitable that he would become domineering and abuse his servants.
In the imperial city, if these maids and palace servants made mistakes, it would be ok if they were with Yinyuan, as they would just have their salary deducted. But for those unlucky ones in the imperial city and in front of the empress dowager, they might be dragged away and beaten to death for even the smallest mistake.
Facing Lu Fu, they were all trembling with fear, fearing that they would anger Lu Fu and bring about unpredictable disaster.
Lu Yi looked at these servants who hardly dared to breathe loudly, and coughed heavily.
Everyone shuddered at the same time, and a few maids, led by them, knelt down on the ground. Then the pretty little palace maids knelt down one after another, trembling like flowers.
"Hey, get up, get up." Lu Yi frowned.
"You just got here and don't know my temper. I understand why you are so cautious."
"But, as time goes by, you will understand... I was born poor, but I was lucky enough to have some minor skills and was appreciated by the emperor, which is why I am so rich today."
"I am not a nobleman with a long history of wealth and luxury. I am just an ordinary boy from the market. I used to be, I am now, and I will be in the future... It's a big concept. I will not change my original intention, and I will not become the kind of person I hate the most."
“So, I hope that in the future my Tianyang Mansion will not be a lifeless and ruthless mansion like a tomb of the living dead. I hope that everyone can live a good life like a normal family.”
"Of course, there are rules. I will let a few uncles from the clan manage all the affairs of the mansion. But they are not harsh people. They are all generous elders. Hmm..."
The faces of the group of maids and young palace maids looked much better.
After being in the palace for many years, they had already mastered the ability to read people's expressions. They could tell that what Lu Yi said was from the heart and he was indeed not that kind of harsh master.
This way, everyone's life will be much better.
Lu Yi was just chattering to calm people down when suddenly a sharp "howl" sound was heard in the distance.
Lu Yu stood up suddenly and slapped himself on the forehead: "Hey, the masters are making a fuss... Hey, I forgot about them... Hurry up and arrange for someone to go over. Remember, you must serve the five masters at home carefully, and be more careful and meticulous than you treat me."
"Except for Da Huang who has the best temper, the other four are not good people. You must not provoke them, and you must not let them starve."
As Lu Yi was giving instructions, a little boy who had just grown up ran in hurriedly. He didn't raise his head to look at the scene in the hall, but knelt down at the nine steps in front of the hall and shouted, "Sir, the Minister of Rites Li Zi is here to visit! "
'Li Zi'?
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows. This was an interesting person.
"Please come in... Well, arrange for someone to bring some delicious food to the five gentlemen. Hurry up, this is a new house, don't let them tear it down."
After a while, Li Zi, dressed in casual clothes, walked into the lobby with a smile.
For the first time in his life, Lu Yi, as the head of the family, solemnly welcomed the first court colleague who came to visit him in his life in the lobby of his own home.
The maid brought the fragrant tea, and Lu Yi smiled and picked up the teacup: "Lord Li, what's the matter so early in the morning? Well, don't you have to sit in the hall of the Honglu Temple today?"
Li Zi smiled and shook his head: "As long as those princes don't cause trouble, there won't be any problems in the Honglu Temple."
Lu Yi just smiled and chatted with Li Zi while drinking tea.
But after all, he was not a real bureaucrat with many years of experience. After Lu Yi and Li Zi had been playing tricks on him for a long time, he finally put down his teacup, crossed his legs, and tilted his head to look at Li Zi: "Master Li, tell me straight, what do you want so early in the morning?"
Li Zi laughed a few times and put down the teacup.
"It's nothing serious. Congratulations to Lord Tianyang on his new home. This house is great!"
Lu Yu curled his lips.
Congratulations on your new home, but I didn't see you send a big red envelope. Yesterday, Yinqi came to my house eagerly and gave Lu Yi one million yuan as a settlement fee on behalf of Yinyuan. The emperor gave his subjects a red envelope to congratulate them on their new home. Although the money was not much, Lu Yi would never forget this kindness.
In comparison, Li Zi's congratulations were just empty words.
"Secondly, since Lord Tianyang has moved to a new home, then I think you won't be able to use the headquarters of the Survey Department anymore."
Li Zi stared at Lu Yi with sharp eyes.
"Yes, it is not needed anymore. Does Lord Li want it?" Lu Yi looked at Li Zi with a smile .
He remembered that when he was leading the army to fight in Anping Pass, Li Zi went to the headquarters of the Survey Office for many days in a row, saying that he was visiting his son Li Erya, but in fact the two of them were just sitting in the backyard in a daze.
Could it be that this guy has realized the benefits of the Five Elements Feng Shui formation in the backyard?
"I sincerely want to buy it." Li Zi smiled and bowed to Lu Yi: "Please help me, Lord Tianyang."
Lu Yi smiled at Li Zi, tapping the lid of the teacup with his finger: "Logically, I should help others and give the house to Lord Li. The problem is, the house is not mine, doesn't Lord Li know?"
Logically speaking, that house should be the public property of the Shougong Prison and is definitely not Lu Yi's private property.
Li Zi smiled at Lu Yi and said, "Please help me, Lord Tianyang. Considering the status of Lord Tianyang in your majesty's heart, I think a house shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Lu Yi knocked on the teacup and it made a ding-ding sound. He looked at Li Zi and was silent for a long time. Then he smiled and said, "But why? Why should I help Lord Li?"
Li Zi smiled, crossed his legs, and said leisurely, "How about a favor from me?"
