From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 1 Reunion with Uncle Nine

In front of a courtyard outside Renjia Town, a young man wearing a dark blue Chinese tunic suit and carrying a small suitcase walked to the door and knocked on the courtyard door.

After a while, there was movement in the yard, and a slightly impatient voice came: "Who is it? What's the matter?"

Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.Open your mouth and ask what you want to do.Hearing this voice, Henry Zhang was frizzy, seemingly ignorant of etiquette, but it made people a little more real.He couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

"I think this is the senior brother under my senior uncle's sect."

The young man was none other than Henry Zhang, and the Yizhuang who came to Renjia Town this time was precisely to come to seek refuge with Uncle Nine, who was his uncle.

"you are?"

Not long after, an ordinary-looking, even a bit mature man opened the courtyard door, saw Henry Zhang in a formal suit outside the door, and asked suspiciously.Renjia Town is neither big nor small, but it is not close to the provincial capital. In the past, people who came to look for Uncle Jiu were from the village, and there was never anyone dressed like Henry Zhang.

Henry Zhang cupped his hands slightly, and made a salute of disciples in the sect, and said, "You are senior brother Wencai, right? I am the No. 60 sixth-generation disciple of the Maoshan School, Henry Zhang, and I came to Renjia Town to pay a visit to Uncle Lin."

"Oh, hello junior brother."

Seeing Henry Zhang saluting, Wencai returned the salute in a panic, thinking that he had never used it on weekdays, and seemed a bit clumsy.While saluting, a familiar voice came from the room and asked, "Wen Cai, who is here?"

“Master, it’s a junior named Henry Zhang.”

Wen Cai said that he welcomed Henry Zhang into the door. As soon as he entered the courtyard door, Uncle Jiu in the room had already walked out of the door. Looking at the familiar face of the young man in front of him, he was a little dazed. The joy and excitement, but also a little more complicated.He was in the late stage of the refining spirit realm of refining qi and transforming gods, so he naturally saw the faint aura fluctuations in Henry Zhang's body.

Thinking of Henry Zhang's life experience, he sighed secretly in his heart, but said on his mouth: "It's all here, what are you still doing standing at the door, come into the house quickly."

The three entered the room together and sat down in the lobby. Uncle Jiu turned his head and saw Wen Cai standing aside, looking at the suitcase in Henry Zhang's hand curiously, looking a little naive.He couldn't help being annoyed, and said: "What are you still doing, the younger brother is here, why don't you go to boil some tea?"

"Oh, let's go now." Seeing Master glaring at him, Wencai realized that he had made a mistake again, so he ran away quickly, trotted out the door, and said in his mouth: "Junior Brother, wait a moment, I will give you the right time." You make tea."

After Wencai left the door, Uncle Jiu turned his head to look at Henry Zhang, and said slowly: "The last time I met you seemed to be several years ago, right, Xuan."

"It's been five years, Master Uncle. Five years ago, you helped me register in front of the Maoshan Patriarch's Hall and entered Maoshan's gate."

"Yes, I was the one who brought you in. I wanted you to live a safe life and sent you to Brother Zhang's hometown. I didn't expect you, a 15-year-old child, to cross half a province and come to Maoshan again. Good fortune Funny."

Uncle Jiu seemed to recall something from the past, and couldn't help sighing.

"What good luck makes people, I have a pure yin fate, with a black coffin on my arm, I should have entered this industry and embarked on the road of practice." Henry Zhang shook his head and said, but he saw this more clearly than anyone else. Some things are predestined, not only because of this pure yin fate, easy to offend ghosts and gods, but also because of the black coffin birthmark on her hand.

"Do you know what fate is? Taoist priests are doomed to be widows and widows, and there are only a few people who can do it. Not to mention dealing with demons and ghosts every day, who can die well? You are brother Zhang Heng and sister Liu Mei." My only son, if you die, the Zhang family will have no successor."

Seeing Uncle Nine’s voice raised by an octave, Henry Zhang couldn’t help laughing wryly, but this was the concern of the elders, so he couldn’t say anything, so he pretended to be serious and said: “Uncle Master, my father taught me Maoshan disciples since I was a child. How can the disciples of the Zhang family shrink back like this."

When Uncle Jiu heard it, he gave Henry Zhang a blank look, and said angrily: "Teach you since childhood? When I sent you down the mountain to return to your father's hometown, you were still in your infancy, so why don't you tell me how Senior Brother Zhang taught you?"

"Ahem, that... um..."

Seeing Zhang Xuan's embarrassing look, Uncle Jiu thought to himself, this kid has a similar temperament to Senior Brother Zhang Heng, but he won't be like Senior Brother Zhang Heng, right?Thinking seriously, he asked, "Ah Xuan, are you still practicing the heretical tricks of Senior Brother Zhang Heng?"

After listening to Uncle Jiu’s words, Henry Zhang smiled wryly again.Said: "Uncle, you are not afraid of being heard by the ancestors when you say this. The technique of witchcraft to raise corpses is not a heretical way, isn't it all a branch of our Maoshan technique?"

"Hmph, why is the branching technique not heresy? The witchcraft technique of raising corpses is the easiest to confuse the mind, eager for success and finally falls into the devil's way. Although Maoshan has this technique, whoever practices it is not a disciple of the older generation, let alone It’s just that they are just trying it out. How can it be like you? You and I are asked to practice Shangqing Qi training, but you choose Zhang Heng’s Xuanyin Transformation Gu Jue.”

"Master, you know that a male is born with nine yin, and the yin is a crime against ghosts and gods, not to mention that I have a black coffin to add to my body. Witches and Gu raise corpses. Refining yin and nourishing qi is the most suitable for me."

Uncle Jiu sighed, he naturally knew Henry Zhang’s physical condition, he was born in a cloudy year, a black coffin in his hands, and a pure yin fate.It stands to reason that both pure yang and pure yin are good materials for cultivation, but Henry Zhang is born with a yin life in a male body, with yang in yin, and there will be conflicts between yin and yang attributes.Even Zhongzheng Pinghe's Shangqing Qi training technique can only be cultivated, but the yin and yang in the body are unbalanced, and the cultivation speed is extremely slow.Only by cultivating the yin qi of these things with the help of witchcraft to raise corpses can the progress be accelerated.

Uncle Jiu shook his head, and said: "Let's not talk about that, you are soft-tempered on the outside and strong on the inside, and you are very strong. Take care of yourself, abide by your heart, and don't harm the sky and reason for the sake of cultivating Gu worms, otherwise I can only..."

Before finishing speaking, Henry Zhang took up the conversation with a smile, "Otherwise, Uncle Shi, you will kill your relatives righteously."

"Hmph, it's good to know."

"Are you passing through Renjia Town this time?"

Henry Zhang shook his head and said: "I'm not passing by, I plan to buy a house here to live for a while."

"Huh? Why do you want to live in the country? You don't study anymore?" Uncle Jiu asked puzzled. It was strange that he, a nephew who was studying in a big city, wanted to settle in the country.

"It's not peaceful in the provincial capital. Mr. Sun is preparing for the Northern Expedition to Yuan Datou again. There are turmoil everywhere. It's not as quiet as the countryside. As for studying, I have already graduated, and it happens to be doing research and investigation in the countryside." Henry Zhang explained, He happened to be studying the role of animals and plants in medicine this year. Of course, there is no such a formal major in this field. In name, he is still a student of the medical school, but he specializes in the study of animals and plants to treat diseases, which can be regarded as witchcraft for himself. The cover of the art.

"It doesn't matter if you come back to avoid it. Cultivators are the most taboo of war and chaos. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't put yourself in a robbery." Uncle Jiu nodded and said.

"What are your plans when you come back this time?"

"Tomorrow, I will buy a house in the town to live in, and open a medical clinic. After all, I am a medical student." Henry Zhang touched his nose and joked to himself.The art of witchcraft, witch has Zhu Youshu, and Gu has medicine and stone Gu, it is really not a problem to use it to cure diseases.

Uncle Jiu nodded and said: "It's good that you have arrangements. Witchcraft can cure diseases and harm people in a single thought, and it is more specialized than Maoshan techniques. It is a good thing for you to stick to your heart and accumulate more merits for curing diseases and saving lives."

Although Uncle Jiu didn't say it clearly, he also vaguely revealed his merits and virtues. He was originally the money printing team of the underworld, and he was in charge of handling a lot of paper money and horses in the underworld.It's not enough to rely on cultivation base alone to make a difference between a positive person and a negative one. Merits and virtues are indispensable.

Henry Zhang nodded, and said, "Understood, Master."

Uncle Jiu looked at the sky, it was getting dark, and it was already evening, so he said: "Okay, it's getting late, you go into the back room and put down your luggage, stay with me for a while, and then move out after finding a house. It’s better if you don’t move, so I can see how your cultivation is going.”

"Then I'll bother Master Uncle, but I'd better find a house and move out. After all, it's not convenient for me to live here to cultivate Gu worms."

Henry Zhang said, and patted the suitcase lightly.Yizhuang is Jiushu's dojo. It not only enshrines Maoshan Patriarch, but also raises many lonely ghosts with unfinished Yinshou and resentment. These unrelieved things still have an impact on Gu insects, it's not It must be harmful, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to control if it is infected with evil spirits.He was also afraid that his Gu worm would scare others and interfere with Uncle Jiu's business.

"Okay, the family doesn't speak the same language, if there is trouble, don't be timid, come to Yizhuang to find me."

Uncle Jiu walked out of the door as he spoke, and shouted towards the kitchen: "Wen Cai is a stinky brat, it takes so long to boil tea, why don't you hurry up and take your junior brother to the room to settle down."

"I'm coming."

As soon as the words fell, Wen Cai came out of the kitchen in a hurry, and wiped the water stains on his hands on the apron as he walked.He was not just boiling water, but preparing dinner.

I have to say that although Wencai is stupid, he is really pure in heart. He wanted to take care of his junior and younger brother when they met just now, and prepared dinner for him.

Uncle Jiu looked at the back of Wencai leading Henry Zhang into the back room, his expression dimmed a little, and he shook his head and sighed: "I don't know if it's right or wrong for this kid to go this way, Maoshan witchcraft lineage, 20 years ago. After a catastrophe, he is now alone."

After all, Uncle Jiu walked into the mourning hall of Yizhuang, and the nephew had to offer incense to the ancestor as soon as he arrived.
