No taboos in the world

Chapter 282 Renjia Town

After meal.

Hong Chen was walking around in circles in the yard to digest his food. Perhaps because he had been with Uncle Jiu for a long time, he followed his uncle's example and put his hands behind his back.

Although he doesn't have the aura of Uncle Jiu, he has a bit of youthful cuteness.

Today, he no longer feels dissatisfied with his age after traveling through time.

Because what returned to his youth was not only his body size, but also his vitality increased out of thin air. This was all free life!
After a while, Qiu Sheng packed up his things and came out with a package on his back. Wen Cai came out of Hong Chen's room carrying an empty bamboo basket and holding a long sword. He came to Hong Chen with a smile and said, "Junior brother, let me hold your sword for you."

Qiu Sheng took one look and immediately reached out to grab it: "Wencai, it's hard enough for you to carry the bamboo basket, let me help my junior brother get this sword!"

"No! I can carry it!"

Wencai dodged and ran while Qiu Sheng chased and snatched.

Hong Chen watched the show with a smile on his face.

The sword is the Tianwen Sword.

Tianwen is the first sword that Hong Chen officially carries with him. It follows him as he travels around the world and is constantly contaminated by his aura during his practice. Even though it has not been specially nurtured, it is more obedient and dexterous than other swords.

More than a year ago, when his uncle Jiu took him out for a walk, Hong Chen "accidentally" fished it out while squatting by the river.

The swords worn by Maoshan Taoist priests are mostly made of peach wood. The older the better. There are also magic swords made of gold and silver coins, and the copper coins used are also very particular.

Although Tianwen is a Qin sword, this kind of treasure that comes by chance is even rarer in Taoism.

God’s arrangement is the greatest!

Uncle Jiu also specially set up an altar and invited the founder of Maoshan to consecrate Tianwen.

Although Hong Chen felt that, as the emperor's sword, Tianwen could easily kill those little ghosts even if it was not consecrated.

Even without mentioning these, Tianwen's appearance and sharpness alone are enough to conquer Qiu Sheng and Wencai.

Therefore, they did not want to help Hong Chen relieve his pressure, but wanted to walk around the town holding Tianwen and pretend to be great in front of others.

"cough!"

With a cough, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai immediately stopped and lowered their heads obediently.

Uncle Jiu gave them a look, turned around, closed the door, and the four of them set off together.
-
Renjia Town.

The most populous, richest and most lively town within a radius of 180 miles.

Because it is close to the port and has well-developed river transportation, there are many foreigners coming and going, and you can even see foreigners.

Of course, it was very difficult to see black people in this land during that era. Ninety-nine percent of the black people who could sail across the sea were sold to pick cotton.

Qiu Sheng and Wencai were both very excited.

Qiu Sheng was better. He came to the town quite often, although he always came to help out in his aunt's rouge and powder shop.

Wencai was different. He was very curious about the things in the town, but he held the sword tightly in his hand. Whenever someone looked at him, he would raise his chin proudly.

Uncle Jiu’s focus is mostly on Hong Chen.

For example, when Hong Chen took a look at the steamed buns on the street, he immediately asked Hong Chen what kind of filling he wanted to eat. When he took a look at the candied haws, Uncle Jiu immediately took out money.

This master is closer to me than my own father.

Of course, Uncle Jiu is not a person who favors one over the other. Following Hong Chen, Qiu Sheng and Wencai also ate a lot of delicious food.

Hong Chen was holding the candied haws and looking around with curiosity.

But he mainly looks at people.

The worlds he traveled through included modern and ancient times, but not the period before and after the Republic of China.

The speech and behavior of people in this era have both ancient etiquette and modern shadows. The collision of Eastern and Western civilizations has given rise to many new things.

Unfortunately, what should have been a good thing was caused by the shortsightedness, selfishness and incompetence of those in power, which resulted in the people suffering, frequent losses in wars and unrest in the world.

Even Taoism has become a period of transition due to these reasons.

The world is full of strangeness and evil.

I wonder if the underworld has stuffed those bastards into the eighteen levels of hell.

In front of the pharmacy.

Uncle Jiu stopped and turned back to say, "You guys walk around here, don't run too far."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai rushed out like wild horses. Only Hong Chen, chewing a candied haws, walked silently to the shade by the door.

Uncle Jiu sighed as he looked at the backs of his two disciples, then turned back to rub Hong Chen's head and said softly, "Do you want to go in with Master and take a look?"

"No, I'll just wait here for Master."

"Well, if you can't stand, go in and sit down." "I know, Master, you go ahead."

The practice of Taoist disciples is not limited to Taoist scriptures and techniques.

Whether in the past or now, Taoist disciples regard traveling around the world as a necessary process of cultivation. And to travel around the world, you have to eat and sleep.

But there are not ghosts to catch every day in the world, graves to move, and even if there is a problem, it may not be your turn.

Times like these are the time to test whether Taoist disciples are versatile.

Feng Shui, medicine, fortune-telling, divination and physiognomy are collectively known as the five arts of Taoism.

"Mountain Art" is the first of the five arts. Generally speaking, it is the Taoist "immortal art", a discipline that studies the transcendence of mortal life, and various types of cultivation and magic are also included.

"Medical skills", the Taoist medical skills inheritance system is more clear. In addition to the various common methods in the world, there are also more unique medical skills that can only be performed by combining Taoism.

"Fortune-telling" means inferring future fortune and understanding life by studying and analyzing the impact or effect of the outside world on the human body, such as Zi Wei Dou Shu.

Physiognomy is to observe the external "phenomenon" to detect its inner meaning. It can be divided into three categories: astrology, feng shui, and human physiognomy.

"Burial Art", also known as divination, has three types of divination: Taiyi, Qimen, and Liuren. Taiyi focuses on predicting natural disasters and belongs to heaven; Qimen focuses on geographical environment issues and belongs to earth; Liuren focuses on folk affairs and belongs to people.

It is certainly difficult to master all five arts of Xuanmen, but the more you understand, the easier it will be to travel around the world in daily life.

Uncle Jiu’s medical skills are not bad, and it is normal for him to cure illnesses and save lives while working. In addition to Taoism, medical skills are also very useful when someone is frightened or attacked by evil spirits.

It's always good to earn a little more money, Taoist disciples also need to eat.

Hong Chen's studies were not that diverse. Apart from the fact that he had a basic knowledge of medicine so he learned some more, he devoted most of his energy to mountain arts.

moment.

Hong Chen finished eating the candied haws. Uncle Jiu had not come out yet, but Qiu Sheng and Wencai had returned.

"So fast today?" Hong Chen was surprised.

"Hehe, my junior brother is still here, how dare we run around?" Qiu Sheng said with a smile.

"Yes! Yes!" Wencai also followed suit.

Looking at their expressions, Hong Chen suddenly smiled: "No money!"

Afterwards, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai begged for mercy, and Hong Chen felt sorry for them, so he took out a dollar from his pocket and gave it to them.

Holding Dayang between two fingers, Hong Chen warned: "Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to go to those shady places, and you are not allowed to gamble!"

Wencai stared at Dayang without blinking: "Don't worry, Junior Brother, there is no way we would go to that kind of place. Qiu Sheng and I just want to buy some new and interesting things. If we come across something delicious, we will bring you some too!"

Qiu Sheng nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, a dollar can't get you to Yihongyuan."

"Ok?"

Hong Chen frowned.

Qiu Sheng quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I was wrong. What I meant was that we absolutely cannot go to that kind of place!"

"You better think so!"

Hong Chen rolled his eyes at him and put the dollar in Wencai's hand.

Wencai put down the backpack and said happily: "Junior brother, please take care of the backpack. We need to put medicine in it. We are leaving first!"

He left after he finished speaking, and Qiu Sheng quickly followed him.

After a while, Uncle Jiu came out with a bag full of medicinal herbs in both hands. When he saw the backpack, he frowned and asked, "Are they leaving again?"

"Well, Master, let them go for a walk. They are usually too cooped up in the charity cemetery."

Uncle Jiu put the herbs into a bamboo basket, carried it on his back, and said, "You usually spend more time at the charity cemetery, why don't you go with them?"

Hong Chen shook his head gently: "I can't play with them, and I don't really like shopping."

Uncle Jiu thought that Hong Chen was young and therefore couldn't play with Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, two older guys.

But in fact, Qiu Sheng Wencai is an absolute little kid in Hong Chen's eyes.

Uncle Jiu smiled and took Hong Chen's hand, saying, "It seems that they are unlucky today. Let's go, Master will take you to drink foreign tea."

Hearing the key words, Hong Chen's eyes moved.

"Master, what is foreign tea?"

Uncle Jiu was very proud, so he naturally wouldn't say that he didn't understand. He just said, "You'll know when you go there. By the way, Mr. Ren, who is treating us today, isn't a good person after all. You can just eat whatever you like later, and don't need to say more to him."

Hong Chen nodded slightly.
