Ninth Uncle Shi Shaojian

Chapter 52
Wencai's parents were born and raised in Shangchang Town, and died of a serious illness when Wencai was very young.Later, Uncle Jiu came to Shangchang Town to help people catch ghosts, and by chance, he took Wen Cai as his apprentice.

For most of the year, Wencai lived in Yizhuang to learn Taoism from Uncle Jiu, and only came back to pay homage to his parents on Ching Ming Festival and the parents' memorial day.So even though Wencai was born and raised in Shangchang Town, he doesn't have much affection for Shangchang Town, and even feels strange after not coming back for a long time.

The one-room house in the southeast corner of the town has become more dilapidated and desolate. The earth wall that was relatively intact last year was practiced by some mischievous children. This year, one-third of it has collapsed, and the one-room house is exposed brightly. In the eyes of Uncle Jiu and the others.

There is green grass growing in the gaps between the black tiles on the roof. It has become more energetic after a shower a few days ago, and there is no trace of decay under the hot sun.

The relatively complete preservation of the house is definitely not the result of Wencai coming back every year to pay respects to his parents.In fact, every time he came back to live for a day or two, he returned to Renjia Town.

The main reason why the house is in good condition is that the master who built the house was too honest, did not cut corners, did a lot of bean curd projects, and had excellent craftsmanship.

Wencai tried his best to be a landlord, and warmly invited Uncle Jiu, Shi Shaojian, and Qiusheng to stay at his home.

He took out the key and unlocked the padlocks on the double wooden doors. The heavy and decayed wooden doors were slowly opened with a creaking sound. Suddenly, there was a musty and strange smell. The roof leaked light, and the light was not too dark.

Open the window to ventilate, and it took a while for the smell to fade away. Wen Cai packed up a few sturdy-looking benches and handed them to Uncle Jiu and the other three. People cleaned it, it was broken and dirty."

Qiu Sheng couldn't help asking: "Master, shall we stay at Wen Cai's house tonight?"

"It costs money to stay in a hotel, but it doesn't cost money to live in my house. You can live in it after cleaning up the house. Master, don't you think so?" Wen Cai asked Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Jiu nodded approvingly, patted Wencai on the shoulder, and said, "You're right, but I have a house in Shangchang Town, and I live there."

"Why don't I know?" Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, and Shi Shaojian looked astonished.

"What a fuss, the Jishan House at the end of the street belongs to me, do you two live here or come with me?" Uncle Jiu asked Qiusheng and Shi Shaojian.

Wencai said expectantly: "Master has a place to live, brother, Qiusheng, you can live in my house."

"This..." Shi Shaojian looked at Wencai's house, and declined politely: "I have some Taoism matters, please ask Teacher Uncle, it's more convenient to live with him, let Qiusheng stay."

Qiu Sheng secretly rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "I live with Master too, Wen Cai, take your time to tidy up."

Before Wencai could react, the three quickly stepped out of the earthen wall.

After walking away, Qiu Sheng couldn't bear it and said: "Wen Cai has good intentions, isn't it good for us to leave like this?"

Shi Shaojian replied: "If you feel bad, you can go back."

"I think so..."

Uncle Jiu interjected, "Then you go back."

Qiu Sheng stopped talking immediately, for fear that Uncle Jiu would say that he would not be able to come down to the stage. Although he felt that it was a little unreasonable to reject Wen Cai, Wen Cai's house was too dilapidated, and staying here not only helped him clean up the house, but also made it uncomfortable to live in. The guilt was compared to Shu Tan. Seems insignificant.

"Uncle, how many days shall we stay in Shangchang Town?" Shi Shaojian asked.

"If you're not in a hurry, stay a few more days."

Shi Shaojian persuaded: "I offended a Daoist leader on the way, and he might catch up. It's too dangerous to stay in Shangchang Town."

"Hey." Qiu Sheng suddenly laughed.

Shi Shaojian wondered, "What are you laughing at?"

Qiu Sheng showed a proud expression, "Brother, you don't know, master has successfully condensed Dao Dan a few days ago."

Condensed Dao Dan!

Daochangjing!
"Master Uncle broke through?!"

Shi Shaojian stared at Uncle Jiu in astonishment. Uncle Jiu was a monk at the peak of the mage realm before. According to Shi Shaojian's estimation, he should be at the level of opening up the eight extraordinary meridians. There is still a long way to go before he can condense Dao Dan. Uncle Jiu actually completed one of the most important leaps in a monk's life.

There is an obvious gap between Taoist realm and mage realm. Shi Shaojian had experienced it personally when he was fighting with Feng Yan.

Hearing this suddenly, Shi Shaojian was both worried and happy.

The joy is that the Maoshan faction has one more Taoist monk, whose strength has greatly increased, and he has an extra thick thigh to hug.

The worry is that if Uncle Jiu and Shi Jian go to confrontation, the gap between the two will become smaller, and Shi Jian's advantage in crushing strength will disappear.

Seeing Shi Shaojian's astonished expression, Uncle Nine was secretly relieved. Not long ago, this bastard broke through from the Taoist realm to the mage realm overnight, which frightened him a lot. My expression at that time should be exactly the same as he is now. How embarrassing!
Must get back on the field.

The apprentice failed to live up to expectations, but the master acted on his own.

Uncle Jiu's tone was flat, as if it was a very small thing to break through to the Taoist realm, "It's just a matter of condensing the Dao Dan, usually practice hard and sharpen your mind, and the breakthrough will happen sooner or later."

That's it...

Shi Shaojian was speechless. The "just" you said has trapped countless monks for their entire lives, and even the realm that many monks can't reach. If you pretend to be so forceful, you will be struck by lightning.

"Master, congratulations!"

"After decades of cultivation, the condensing of Dao Dan is a matter of course, and it is not worth celebrating."

Still pretending to be addicted, Shi Shaojian asked cooperatively: "Concentrating Dao Dan is not worth celebrating, what is worth celebrating?"

"Gather Nascent Soul."

At this time, Qiu Sheng said: "It is indeed a great joy to gather Yuanying to become a master, but it is too difficult to be promoted to a master. In our Maoshan sect, only the uncles of master Qingxu and master Yuxu are masters. I remember the two master uncles said that master This generation is useless, no one has the qualifications of a master...Master, did I say something wrong? Why do you look at me like this?"

Uncle Jiu's gaze was like a knife, "You have a good memory."

Qiu Sheng looked sad, and sighed: "It's not good, you are worthless in this generation. If you don't become a master, it will affect the future of the Maoshan School. As the saying goes, it's good to enjoy the shade under a big tree. If the Maoshan School declines, we will be miserable."

Ninth Uncle yin and yang said strangely: "How can it be miserable? Our generation is useless, and you, Qiu, can build tools. The future of the Maoshan School depends entirely on you."

Qiu Sheng said happily: "Master, so you think so too, heroes see the same thing..."

Uncle Jiu had a brain collapse and beat Qiu Sheng to scream. His face was so ugly that he almost gritted his teeth and cursed: "Same fart, I don't look at myself in the mirror. I will accept you after eight lifetimes of misfortune." Disciple, make trouble for me every day, daydream every day, tear me down every day, commit crimes."

Uncle Jiu ran away in anger. Just now he said in high spirits that condensing Dao Dan is as easy as drinking water and eating, and condensing Yuanying is not a problem. He failed in a moment and fled in embarrassment.

Others act as masters to deceive apprentices, and he acts as a master to be deceived by apprentices.
