Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 28 Gathering at Maoshan
Early in the morning, at the foot of Jijin Peak, a large number of Maoshan disciples were already waiting.

"Senior Brother! Junior Sister!"

Seeing Uncle Jiu, Zhe Gu and others coming from a distance, Taoist Simu shouted and waved excitedly.

There are more than 20 to 30 disciples in the 35th generation of Maoshan, and there are always differences in closeness and distance.

Apart from Zhe Gu, Uncle Jiu has the best relationship with Taoist Simu, Taoist Qianhe and other fellow disciples.

"Brother, sister, you came here together."

When they got there and saw the two of them coming together, Taoist Simu looked amused.

"It was just a chance encounter."

Uncle Jiu's face turned serious and he glared at Taoist Simu.

"That's right, it just happened."

Taoist Master Qianhe was also there, seemingly helping to explain, but actually teasing.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Sugar Girl patted the two of them with her little hands, looking shy.

Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes instantly. He couldn’t wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

He coughed dryly and scolded Li Kunshan and others.

"Why don't you come and pay your respects to the two uncles?"

"Yes."

Li Kunshan and the other two suppressed their laughter and walked forward to salute Taoist Simu and Taoist Qianhe.

Nianying was well-behaved and followed Zhegu forward without waiting for her instructions.

"Meet Uncle Master!"

"Good nephew."

Taoist Simu and Taoist Qianhe nodded, then turned and said something to their disciples.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry and pay your respects to your uncle and uncle!"

"Oh."

Taoist Simu has only one disciple, but Taoist Qianhe has four.

It has to be said that in terms of the number of disciples, Taoist Qianhe takes the lead among his fellow disciples.

The five people responded and stepped forward, also bowing to Uncle Jiu and Aunt Zhe.

"Greetings to my uncle, my respect to my uncle."

"it is good."

Uncle Jiu smiled as he looked at the younger generations who were gradually growing up and nodded with satisfaction.

The fellow disciples had not yet arrived, so after greeting each other, Uncle Jiu and the others gathered together to chat.

As an apprentice, he naturally didn't want to be controlled by his master, so he gathered together nearby.

"You must be Jiale."

Qiu Sheng looked up and down at Taoist Simu's disciple, nodded, and put his arm around his shoulders.

"I don't know why, but the moment I saw you I felt a sense of familiarity, just like seeing my own brother."

"You are Senior Brother Qiu Sheng. Yes, I don't know why, but when I see you, I feel like I see my fifth brother."

"Why Fifth Brother?"

Qiu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands, saying it didn’t matter.

"Brothers, have you had a smooth journey?"

Li Kunshan stepped forward and started communicating with several of Taoist Qianhe's disciples.

As for Jiale, we already know enough from the movie.

Although Taoist Qianhe's disciples appeared in the movie, they were just minor roles and not much is known about them.

Now is a good opportunity to communicate with each other.

As for Wencai, he still kept surrounding Nianying.

We were all young people, and after knowing each other's names and chatting for a few minutes, we easily became familiar with each other.

"What are you dawdling over there for? Come over here!"

As I was talking, I suddenly heard Uncle Jiu scolding me.

Another uncle-master has arrived, mom.

Mamadi was not very good at Taoism and was a sloppy person. When she was in Maoshan, she was often scolded by Uncle Jiu. But Mamadi was also very proud, but her words were unreasonable and she could not beat him, so she could not help but feel a little afraid of Uncle Jiu.

But in fact, the relationship between the two is still very good. Uncle Jiu is looking for him because he is disappointed in him, and Mama Di is not ungrateful, so even if she is scolded, she is still willing to stay with Uncle Jiu.

Mom brought two apprentices, Ah Hao and Ah Qiang. Just like before, everyone met each other.

As the sun gradually rose higher, more people arrived, said hello to Uncle Jiu and the others, and went to the other side.

Although they were also brothers, their relationship was only average compared to Zhegu, Simu, Qianhe, and Mamadi. "Interesting."

Looking over at this time, there were groups of three or two, or three or five. Familiar brothers stood together, while those who were not so close stood at a distance.

Li Kunshan couldn't help but smile. It turned out that even in the dignified Shangqing Sect, these masters and living gods in the eyes of the world were divided into small groups.

"Master, it's almost time, why don't you go up the mountain?"

Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, everyone couldn't help but get impatient and came over to ask.

"Wait a little longer, the eldest brother hasn't arrived yet."

Uncle Jiu glanced at the sun and said something.

"Eldest brother?"

Qiu Sheng frowned and snorted unhappily.

"He's so arrogant, making so many of us wait for him."

"Don't be rude. Our eldest brother is your eldest uncle."

Uncle Jiu gave a lecture and said in a deep voice.

"Besides, he's so arrogant because he's more capable than us."

"Taller than you, Master?"

Qiu Sheng looked doubtful and couldn't help asking.

"What rank is your senior brother now?"

"A month ago, my eldest brother was granted the 'Shangqing Five Thunder Sutra' and appointed as the Thunder Department Inspector, a third-rank divine official."

"That means he is one rank higher than you, Master. He is indeed amazing."

Qiu Sheng curled his lips and dared not be disrespectful anymore.

Li Kunshan was also thinking secretly that the Thunder Department Inspector was indeed worthy of being the King of Thunder and Lightning.

As he was speaking, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd.

I saw a middle-aged man with long hair and a mustache on his upper lip that hung down like two longevity eyebrows, walking towards this side with a young man.

"Big Brother!"

"I've met senior brother!"

The people who were just talking to each other came forward to greet and salute.

"He is the eldest senior brother? He is really impressive."

Qiu Sheng looked over and nodded seriously.

"Let's go there too."

Seeing that the eldest brother was about to come over, Uncle Jiu said something and led everyone to greet him.

"Big Brother, you are here."

"Ah."

Shi Jian glanced at Uncle Jiu and just responded slightly with an extremely cold expression, then said something to everyone.

"Go up the mountain."

"Yes."

Everyone responded and followed Shi Jian, then prepared to go up the mountain.

At the entrance of the mountain path, a Taoist boy in gray clothes stood by. When he saw everyone coming, he bowed slightly.

"Hello, brothers and sisters. Please follow me up the mountain."

"Thank you for your help, Junior Brother."

Everyone returned the greeting, and even Shi Jian, who was arrogant, became noticeably gentler in his attitude.

Immediately afterwards, the young Taoist priest led the way in front and everyone followed up the mountain.

"Master, who is that person?"

He looks no older than them, but he is the 35th generation disciple, Qiu Sheng asked.

Wencai, Jiale and others were also curious and couldn't help but prick up their ears.

"The last disciple that Master accepted a few years ago is our junior fellow apprentice, and also your junior uncle. His name is Zheng Zibu."

Uncle Jiu whispered as he walked.

"We all went down the mountain. He has been taking care of us all these years. He is deeply loved by our master."

"Oh, no wonder."

Qiu Sheng nodded, as if he suddenly understood something.

It turns out that he is the last disciple. No wonder he has such a respected status.

Zheng Zibu?
Li Kunshan was stunned. The complexity of this world was beyond his expectations.
