Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Three days after leaving the capital, Lu Li had no destination. When his master told him that he had a friend in Zhangjiakou, he headed towards Zhangjiakou.

One day, he passed by a forest, around which there was a bonfire and several felt tents where people from the grasslands lived. Facing the wind, Lu Li smelled a strong smell of blood. He moved his feet lightly and saw that the door curtain of the felt tent was open, revealing the bodies of a man and a woman, obviously the whole family, and their deaths were extremely tragic.

In front of another yurt lay the body of a chimpanzee, with obvious signs of burning from a fight nearby, and a lingering ghostly smell in the air.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Lu Li frowned slightly. Is this a familiar plot again? This is the trace left by the red-robed fire ghost, but it has been subdued by someone. It should be Ao Tianlong and his daughter.

If they continued walking, they would reach Zhangjiakou. Lu Li did not deliberately chase after Ao Tianlong and his daughter. He walked at his own pace. The merits and virtues he needed to enter the Golden Core stage could not be made up by one or two red-robed fire ghosts.

In addition to the requirements of cultivation, one also needs to comprehend the soul's state of mind.

After walking for three or four days, a large ancient city appeared in front of us. When we walked into the city, the first thing that caught our eyes was an archway with the words "Important Border Town" written on it, which also told the former status of this city.

When I came here, Uncle Jiu once said that if I came to Zhangjiakou, I would go to Baofa Village to visit his old friend.

When we arrived at the door, we found that Baofazhuang was a shop selling incense, candles, paper lanterns and paper money. At this time, an old man with a slightly bald head was cleaning.

"Hello old man, I am the eldest disciple of Maoshan Lin Jiu, and I have come to visit you specially." Lu Li bowed and saluted.

Lao Lao Qiang opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Li, "What, you are Ah Si, the fishmonger, why have you changed?"

The corner of Lu Li's mouth twitched. What are Ah Si and Ah Ba?

"I am a disciple of Maoshan, and my master is Lin Jiu!" Lu Li deliberately raised his voice.

The old man listened attentively and said, "Oh, you are Xiaolin, the fruit seller. I'm not buying fruit. I just bought some yesterday." Then he continued sweeping the floor.

Lu Li suddenly felt hopeless and stood still. This old man was not only hard of hearing, but also had a bit of a poor brain. What should he do?

"Uncle Shou, who are you talking to? What fruit seller?" At this time, a fat man with a simple and honest appearance came out. His small eyes rolled around, and from time to time there was a gleam of light, which showed that he was not as simple and honest as he looked.

"Who are you?" the fat man asked when he saw Lu Li standing at the door.

"I'm Lu Li, a disciple of Mount Mao. My master is Lin Jiu, who specifically asked me to visit you when I pass by here." Lu Li bowed.

The fat man smiled. "So you are Brother Lin's disciple. Please come in. Please come in. It's been more than 20 years since we last met. How is your master?"

"Master is doing well. His temple is now in the Yizhuang of Renjia Town in the East Palace."

"That's good. Senior Brother Lin has finally opened a dojo. Mengmeng, Senior Brother, please come out quickly. Senior Brother Lin's disciples are here."

"Are you Senior Brother Lin's disciple?" Before the person arrived, a woman's voice was heard first, followed by a gentle and virtuous woman who walked out, followed by a man who looked like Uncle Jiu, but a little younger and had a rougher appearance.

"Are you Senior Brother Lin's disciple?" the man asked anxiously.

"Master Lin Jiu, I am Master's eldest disciple Lu Li. I came out this year to gain experience." Teacher Lu Li replied.

"Finally, there is news about Senior Brother Lin. After not seeing each other for twenty years, I didn't expect to hear from an old friend again. By the way! My name is Ao Tianlong, you can call me Uncle Tianlong. This is your Aunt Mengmeng. This fat guy is called Zhuge Dagui, you can just call him Fat Uncle." Ao Tianlong introduced Lu Li one by one.

"Huh? Why am I the fat uncle?" Zhuge Dagui said with dissatisfaction, his eyes wide open.

"Who made you fat?" Ao Tianlong glanced at him.

"Okay, okay, we can't let the guests stand outside. You haven't eaten yet, right? Xiao Li, come in quickly, Uncle Shou! Bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks." Meng Meng was indeed the mistress of the household. She saw that Lu Li looked exhausted and must have just arrived, so she quickly let him in.

"Thank you, Aunt Mengmeng." Lu Li said modestly.

"Why are you being polite? Just treat it as your own home." The more Meng Meng looked at Lu Li, the more she liked him. He was about the same age as her son, handsome, and had a unique aura of a cultivator. Yun Gao still got into trouble from time to time.

The group sat down at the dining table. Apparently, everyone was just about to eat, and the food had not yet been touched.

"Xiao Li, what is your current cultivation level? Why did you come to the north alone? The situation in the market is not peaceful right now." Ao Tianlong noticed Lu Li as soon as he came in. He couldn't even see through Lu Li's cultivation level.

After hearing what Ao Tianlong said, Zhuge Dagui and Meng Meng also realized that they could not see through Lu Li's cultivation level.

Seeing five pairs of eyes staring at him, Lu Li had no choice but to tell the truth, "I went out to gain experience, and now my cultivation is in the late stage of foundation building."

"What? Late stage of foundation building, isn't that higher than my senior brother? Is it like this in the cultivation world now?" Zhuge Dagui stared at Lu Li with his eyes wide open, looking at him in disbelief.

Ao Tianlong's hands also trembled, and he wanted to slap this fat man to death. He was talking about something irrelevant. Why should you talk about me?

"Hehe, it's all thanks to Master's good teaching. In terms of experience, I'm definitely not as good as Uncle Tianlong." Lu Li said modestly. As soon as he entered the room, he found that Ao Tianlong and Uncle Jiu were similar. Both were in the middle stage of foundation building but infinitely close to the late stage of foundation building.

Zhuge Dagui's cultivation level is in the early stage of foundation building, close to the middle stage of foundation building. No wonder, he is doing well in business now and no longer makes a living by catching ghosts. It is good enough for him to maintain his current cultivation level. Aunt Mengmeng's cultivation level is in the late stage of Qi Refining, but her eyes are shining, which means she should be focusing on cultivating her primordial spirit.

"Wow, Brother Lu, you are so awesome. You should be about the same age as me." Zhuge Dagui and Mengmeng's son Yun Gao said enviously. Ao Lingshuang also looked at Lu Li with curiosity.

"I should be 23 years old now. We are different. I make a living by catching ghosts. I will naturally improve my skills if I fight frequently."

Yun Gao wanted to ask something else, but Meng Meng hit him on the head with a chopstick, "Your brother Lu hasn't eaten yet, why are you nagging? Ask me later if you have anything to ask."

After saying that, she added a piece of dish for Lu Li. After everyone finished dinner, Meng Meng arranged for Lu Li to live next to Shou Bo on the first floor. Ao Ningshuang lived in the empty room on the second floor, and Ao Tianlong and Yun Gao lived together.

After Lu Li finished washing up, he went back to his room and fell asleep. He slept soundly after being tired from the journey.

Lu Li was awakened by the sound of practicing martial arts in the morning. When he opened the door, he saw Ao Tianlong practicing sword, with Yun Gao and Ao Ningshuang standing beside him.

"Brother Lu, you're awake."

"Brother Lu!" The two smiled and greeted Lu Li. Lu Li waved his hand to signal Ao Tianlong to practice swordsmanship. Ao Tianlong's swordsmanship was magnificent. It was obvious that he had studied this art a lot. He finished practicing a set of swordsmanship.

"Uncle Tianlong's swordsmanship is indeed mysterious."

Ao Tianlong laughed and said, "My swordsmanship is nothing special. I can only say it's average. But I know that you guys at Maoshan have a set of Jade Purity Swordsmanship. Senior Brother Lin was quite good at it."

Master has this skill. I have never seen him practice sword skills. He mostly uses spells and talismans when fighting against the enemies. His morning homework is just to practice health preservation and life extension skills. It seems that this is his best skill.

"Really? Brother Lu, can you please call me?" Ao Ningshuang stared at Lu Li with her big eyes blinking, and Yun Gao also looked expectant.

Forget it, just treat it as morning class. Lu Li took the sword from Ao Tianlong. With the sword in his hand, Lu Li's temperament changed, and his whole body exuded a sharp aura.

The sword light danced, like a divine sword soaring into the sky, and Lu Li seemed to have transformed into a top swordsman. Ao Lingshuang and Yun Gao were stunned, and Ao Tianlong's eyes were full of brilliance. The more he understood swordsmanship, the more he understood how high Lu Li's swordsmanship had reached.

After practicing a set of sword techniques, Lu Li exhaled a breath, and the breath was as solid as a sword or a knife. This was a manifestation of restrained breath.

"Pah pah pah! What a great set of Yuqing swordsmanship. The swordsmanship is good and the person who uses the sword is even better. My nephew really opened my eyes." Ao Tianlong praised.

"You say that you have lived for decades, but you are still not as good as Junior-Martial Brother Lu Li who has practiced for ten years?" Zhuge Dagui and Mengmeng walked downstairs.

"Why, do you want to have a sparring match with your nephew?" Ao Tianlong saw Zhuge Dagui holding a mace.

"Who said that? I'm going to the backyard to kill chickens, you know?" Zhuge Dagui reluctantly explained. He originally wanted to go downstairs to fight with Ao Tianlong, but when he came down, he saw Lu Li's sword skills. Considering that he hadn't been active for many years, he regretted it and had to make up this excuse.
