Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Uncle Jiu smiled bitterly, "Ah Li, it seems that those Fuso people came just for our master and disciple. The mayor's wife has suffered an unprovoked disaster."

Lu Li poured a cup of tea for Uncle Jiu and said, "Master, I guess they wanted to use the mayor's wife to coerce the mayor to deal with us, but they didn't expect us to intervene so quickly."

"You should be careful when you are out there. People have no intention to hurt tigers, but tigers are harmful to people's hearts!"

"Master, rest assured, I will be careful."

While Master Lu Li and his apprentice were drinking tea and talking in the charity cemetery, in a building in the north.

"Elder, Deacon Ximu has failed! His Shikigami card has been shattered."

A ninja dressed in black and wearing a mask was kneeling on the ground to report.

An old man sitting cross-legged in the darkness with a gloomy face opened his eyes, "Failed? You are such a loser that you can't even deal with a little Taoist priest."

Two maids in kimonos came up and put clothes on the old man who stood up.

"Our plan is still in the implementation stage and cannot be exposed. Let's keep them for now and execute the plan with all our strength. When the Lord God succeeds, it will be easy to deal with them."

"Hey!" The ninja took two steps back and disappeared into the darkness.

"Lord God, everything will be done soon." The old man looked towards the south with a fanatical look.

Time always slips away quietly between our fingers. Although a month has passed, a hint of green can be seen on the branches in the charity cemetery.

During this month, Lu Li drew talismans in the charity cemetery and taught Qiu Sheng Wencai how to practice martial arts.

As the cultivation level of those who practice Taoism improves, their perception of the passage of time is no longer so sensitive. Uncle Jiu leaned back in the recliner, staring at Qiu Sheng and Wencai in silent trance.

Lu Li has already told Uncle Jiu about his plan to let Qiu Sheng go out for some experience. Uncle Jiu knows that this is a good thing for Qiu Sheng, but he is still worried.

Thinking back to the time when Qiu Sheng’s aunt took him to become her disciple because Qiu Sheng had poor health when he was a child. She watched the little boy grow up into a big man. Now she let him go alone to catch ghosts and monsters. How would she explain if something went wrong? She only let Lu Li go after his cultivation level surpassed hers. She didn’t sleep well for a month after he let him go.

"Master, are you still thinking about Qiu Sheng?"

Lu Li smiled and sat down next to Uncle Jiu, saying to himself, "Alas! A grown-up son is no longer under the control of his father."

Uncle Jiu glared at Lu Li and said, "You are making sarcastic remarks. If anything happens to him when he goes out, go tell his aunt."

"Master, isn't this how we Maoshan Taoists all got through life? We fight against good and evil all our lives. If we don't recognize the danger, then why are we still practicing Taoism? Isn't it better to be an ordinary citizen?"

Uncle Jiu remained silent.

"Let's ask Qiu Sheng what he thinks. He's not a kid anymore." Lu Li called Qiu Sheng over.

"Are you willing to go out and gain experience?"

Qiu Sheng was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Uncle Jiu, and found that Uncle Jiu was also looking at him.

Think about what a Taoist priest who passed by the charity cemetery recently said, that the eldest brother already has a reputation and friends in the spiritual world.

"Master, I do." Qiu Sheng nodded heavily.

Uncle Jiu stood up and patted Qiu Sheng on the shoulder.

"Once you go out and encounter danger, you have to rely on yourself, and no one can help you deal with it."

Qiu Sheng's eyes were firm. "Master, I know. Ever since I made up my mind to practice Taoism, I knew that sooner or later I would become a master and spread the name of our Maoshan."

"Good boy!" Uncle Jiu smiled with satisfaction.

"Then the four of us will go out for a meal today. Go and tell your aunt."

Qiu Sheng smiled and nodded. Wencai looked at Qiu Sheng with envy, wondering when he would be able to become an apprentice.

At noon, the four masters and apprentices went to a restaurant in the town and ordered a table of dishes as a farewell party for Qiu Sheng.

Qiu Sheng's aunt knew that Qiu Sheng was going on a long journey, so she just repeatedly told him to take good care of himself. From the moment he decided to stay in the charity cemetery, his aunt knew that this day would come, so she packed his clothes, touched her nephew's face and let him go, then she went back to the shop, closed the door and cried silently.

The birds on the eaves were chirping, as if they were seeing Qiu Sheng off. Lu Li gave Qiu Sheng the golden compass that his uncle Jiu had given him, and handed him a purple talisman to save his life. His uncle Jiu also gave Qiu Sheng fifty dollars as travel expenses.

"Take care, Qiu Sheng!" Wencai almost shed tears. Usually, Lu Li spent more time in cultivation, and only Qiu Sheng played with him every day. Now that his little friend was going out to gain experience, he felt a little reluctant to let him go.

"Master, Senior Brother, Wencai, take care, little zombie, wait for me to come back."

The three of them stood frozen at the door, watching Qiu Sheng disappear on the road before returning to the charity cemetery.

"Master, how long will Qiu Sheng be gone?" Wencai said dejectedly.

"It's time to come back." Uncle Jiu put his hands behind his back and supported the little zombie's shoulders.

Wencai nodded, not quite understanding.

The charity cemetery returned to its former tranquility. On this day, Lu Li was meditating when he felt a surge of magical power coming from far away to the charity cemetery.

When I opened the door, I saw a Maoshan paper crane flying over. I waved my hand and the crane landed in my palm.

When he opened it, it turned out to be a letter from Qiu Sheng, saying that he had arrived in Zhejiang Prefecture and subdued a few little ghosts on the way and helped many people. Lu Li smiled and handed the paper crane to Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Jiu looked at him and laughed, "This kid, there has been no news for three months, making me worry for nothing."

"Master, don't worry. He has the purple talisman. He will trigger it when he encounters danger. This kid is very smart."

"Hey! What's going on? It's so exciting."

A loud voice was heard and it turned out to be Taoist Simu who was carrying the corpse back.

"It's okay. Qiu Sheng has gone out to practice communication and is back." Uncle Jiu showed the paper crane to Taoist Simu.

"Qiu Sheng has gone out for training?" Taoist Simu asked in surprise. Isn't that boy about the same age as Jiale? He is usually quite reckless, but now he has gone out to train.

"Yeah, alas! It makes me worry at all." Uncle Jiu deliberately showed off, and watched Taoist Simu's face slowly turning red out of the corner of his eye.

"No, I have to train Jiale well when I go back this time. He is still lingering at the door of the Qi training stage. It's all because of that stinky monk bringing a little girl here. Jiale is now following that stinky girl every day." Taoist Simu said gritting his teeth.

Lu Li could hear the grinding of Taoist Simu's teeth, and he mourned for Jia Le in his heart. The roots of love had just taken root, but Taoist Simu was about to pull them out.

"You're welcome, brat. I've heard of your reputation when I was promoting products, Taoist Master Lu from Maoshan."

"Uncle Master, please stop talking. This is not embarrassing enough." Lu Li was thick-skinned, but he touched his nose awkwardly when being teased like this.

"Hahaha, you're awesome, that group of roughnecks are quite powerful. If you make friends with them, you'll have fewer problems in the future."

Taoist Simu has a free and easy personality and travels to various places all year round to sell goods. He knows how powerful the Xiangxi Xiangling gang is.

"By the way, senior brother, I wonder if you have heard something?" Taoist Simu put away his smile.

"We are not like you, running around everywhere. How can we hear anything in Renjia Town?"

"Something happened recently in Luoxiang Palace in Qingcheng Mountain. The Xishuangbanna bronze-armored corpse that their chief elder had been refining for decades was lost." Taoist Simu showed a gloating smile.

Lu Li also pricked up his ears. Isn't the Xishuangbanna bronze-armored corpse from the Ghost Hunting Family Show? Zhuge Dagui's chubby face appeared in his mind, and it became interesting.

"Are you talking about the evil corpse?" Uncle Jiu also became serious.

"Yes, it's that evil corpse. Tsk tsk! Ever since the evil corpse was found, Luo Xiang Palace has never been at peace. The Great Elder either went insane or broke his leg. Later, it was their headmaster who took action to suppress it. But this time, it's lost again. What bad luck."

"It takes the power of the late foundation building stage to suppress the bronze-armored corpse, and Luo Xiang Palace has offered a reward, just asking for the corpse to be brought back." Taoist Simu said nervously.

"What is it?" Uncle Jiu also became curious.

"Shenyuan Breaking Barrier Pill, it's a pity that I can't defeat that bronze-armored corpse." Taoist Simu licked his lips.

"What kind of medicine is this?" Lu Li didn't quite understand.

"Go back and take a good look at those books you picked up. The Shenyuan Breaking Barrier Pill is used to break the mirror. Taking it can instantly allow your cultivation to break through once. You are in the initial stage of foundation building, and after taking it you will reach the middle stage. I don't know what the Bronze Armor Corpse is used for, but Luo Xiang Palace actually offered such a high price for it." Uncle Jiu said hurriedly.

Lu Li was also shocked that there was such a medicine.

Seeing that Lu Li seemed to be tempted, Uncle Jiu explained: "Don't think about it. This medicine is useless for breaking through the Jindan stage. Otherwise, Luo Xiang Palace would be full of Jindan stage people."

Lu Li let go of the thought. So that was the case. However, Uncle Jiu had been stuck in the middle stage of foundation building for a long time. There was nothing for him to do in the charity cemetery, so he could go out for a walk.

"The entire spiritual world is in an uproar now. Many people are looking for this Xishuangbanna bronze-armored corpse, but it is said that their disciples and outsiders stole it."

"I also got a piece of inside information. The reason why Luo Xiang Palace is so anxious is because their chief elder has just found a way to refine the natal corpse and was preparing to break through the Jindan stage in one fell swoop. As a result, the Corpse King was lost. How can he not be anxious?" Taoist Simu likes to watch fun the most.

"No wonder." Uncle Jiu understood that if it was a matter of cultivation, anyone would go crazy.
