Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Stretching, Lu Li sighed that it was better to come back, at least he didn't have to be so tense all the time.

Today is Uncle Jiu’s birthday.

Everyone planned to celebrate Uncle Jiu’s birthday in the largest restaurant.

Lu Li prepared a golden sword for Uncle Jiu, but it would look a bit shabby to those who don't know much about it.

Of course, I can't embarrass Uncle Jiu like Awei did in the plot.

Lu Li went out early in the morning and came to the restaurant in the evening carrying two large boxes.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Hong the comprador and other acquaintances who often came to Renjia Town were there.

Awei and Wencai reserved seats for themselves next to Uncle Jiu.

"When did Ali come back? Today is your master's birthday. Have you prepared a gift?" The owner of the cloth shop next to him said with a smile.

"Of course I have prepared it, but I am the eldest brother, so I will save it for last and let the younger brothers take it first."

Lu Li knew that his gift was the most valuable, so if he took it out first, how would others be able to give it to him?

This time Wencai and Awei were together, so it was not embarrassing.

I made a set of clothes for Uncle Jiu together.

Uncle Jiu took it with a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied.

Lu Li picked up the first box and handed it to Uncle Jiu. Uncle Jiu didn't want to open it at first, but after everyone urged him, he put it on the table and opened it.

Inside was actually a pipe inlaid with gold and jade. Uncle Jiu smoked, so Lu Li asked someone to carve a pipe out of a whole piece of Hetian jade.

There is also a dragon carved in gold and embedded in the pipe.

It looked like a work of art, so Uncle Jiu liked it immediately and started playing with it.

"Why are you spending so much money, kid? It must be very expensive."

"Such a large piece of jade must be very expensive, and it can also warm the body."

The jewelry store owner said enviously.

Lu Li took this piece of jade from Luo Xiang Palace. He saw it in the warehouse when he was refining the purple talisman and took it away.

The labor cost just to make the pipe was twenty dollars, but of course Lu Li wouldn't tell anyone about this.

"Master, it's worth any amount of money to make your birthday happy."

"Don't be so wasteful next time." Although he said it was wasteful, he couldn't stop smiling, and his eyebrows were connected into one.

This disciple really made him proud.

He opened the long box again, and saw a golden sword in the box. Uncle Jiu looked at Lu Li.

"The Five Emperors' Coins and Gold Sword. It took a lot of effort to collect these copper coins."

"It wasn't very difficult. I practiced with two swords. I'll give this one to you, Master. I see that you've used your Golden Money Sword for quite a few years, and the strings are a bit loose."

"Touching the sword, Uncle Jiu could feel Lu Li's filial piety. After thinking about it, since it was a gift from Lu Li, Uncle Jiu accepted it. Others were masters who supported their disciples, but now he was the disciple who supported his master.

Everyone was shocked by Lu Li's aura, even Wencai Awei seemed to see golden light on Lu Li.

My senior brother became a rich man after going out.

"What are you looking at? Look at your senior brother. He always thinks of you first when there is something good." Uncle Jiu laughed and scolded them.

"How can we compare with our senior brother? He has been a genius since he was young." Wencai muttered.

"What are you mumbling about? Why aren't you eating yet?" Uncle Jiu hit Wencai on the head with chopsticks.

Wencai is now about to enter the Qi training stage, while Awei is still in the stage of polishing his body and has not yet started.

This kid Awei lost his virginity too early and has suffered a lot of losses.

Lu Li thought about getting some herbs for the two men to soak in when he had a chance.

During the dinner, the topic of the horse thieves in Longjia Village came up.

"These bastards intercepted my caravan and killed my comrades. I lost a lot of money."

Comprador Hong had drunk some wine and was so mad at the horse thieves that he wanted to fight them to the death.

"Who said it wasn't true? If Uncle Jiu hadn't come, we wouldn't know how much loss we would have suffered. I'd like to thank Uncle Jiu for resolving our biggest problem."

The cloth shop owner picked up the wine and toasted Uncle Jiu together with the other bosses present.

The strength of these horse thieves is not too strong, which is what Lu Li himself said. To ordinary people, these people are basically invincible.

The advantage of witchcraft lies in its strangeness. Lu Li once heard Ao Tianlong talk about the shamans and spirit mediums outside the Great Wall, some of which are not weaker than Taoist magic.

He can even use the power of nature and demons to fight his enemies, and he is unique in saving people.

The reason why witchcraft has a bad reputation in the Central Plains.

In fact, it was corrupted by some people with bad character and turned into a tool to make money, and they also developed many witchcraft techniques to harm people.

Good and evil are in opposition and fight for life, but Lu Li always remembers the warning given by his uncle when he first entered the sect.

"Don't mention these things when celebrating a birthday. Come, Uncle Jiu, have a piece of Western cake. It's a good thing." Comprador Hong handed Uncle Jiu a piece of cake.

Cakes are a rare commodity in the Republic of China at this time and are only available in Western restaurants.

Lu Li also ate a piece. Of course, the taste was not as good as the modern ones, but it was natural. If it was cream, it was cream.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, everyone heard a noisy sound coming from downstairs, mixed with some booing.

Lu Li motioned A Wei to go over and see what was going on. A Wei stood up to see, and everyone continued drinking.

After a while, Awei came up and asked Lu Li for help. Uncle Jiu wanted to get up and go down but was held down by Lu Li.

Thinking about Lu Li's strength, Uncle Jiu didn't move. Lu Li followed A Wei out and asked what was going on.

Awei explained that two men from the security team came to eat.

Seeing that Mao Shanming was occupying a large table by himself and looked easy to bully, he went up to cause trouble.

I don’t know if I was possessed by evil spirits or what, but I did a one-finger handstand and was beaten with a stick and was beaten really badly.

Lu Li brought A Wei down and saw the chaos below. Two team members saw A Wei and shouted, "Captain, save me."

Lu Li knew that it was two ghosts named Dabao and Xiaobao under Mao Shanming who were causing trouble. He stood at the stairs and kicked up a wine jar.

He poked a hole in the bottom of the jar with his finger and said, "Collect."

The second ghost immediately felt that he was locked by something, and his body was pulled by an irresistible force, so it was useless to struggle.

"Ah, Uncle Ming, save us." Dabao and Erbao were sucked into the wine jar after they shouted. Lu Li took the ghost-suppressing talisman and sealed the mouth of the jar.

Mao Shanming was already dumbfounded at this point. It didn't even take a minute from the time Lu Li came down to the time he took the two ghosts away. He could only stare at Lu Li blankly.

"That, that."

Lu Li walked up with the jar of wine and ignored Mao Shanming.

The reputation of Maoshan has been ruined by people like this.

Mao Shanming could only watch awkwardly.

Going upstairs and putting the jar next to the chair, Uncle Jiu looked down and said, "It's done."

"It's solved. A third-rate sorcerer who used the name of Maoshan and brought two little ghosts with him. He's not a bad guy." Lu Li said as he took a bite of the food.

"Well, let's forgive him when we can. Since he is not a bad guy, let him go if we can." Uncle Jiu said.

Lu Li agreed.

After finishing their meal at the restaurant, they rushed back to the village office. On the way, they could feel someone following them.

Lu Li used his spiritual sense to take a look and found that it was Mao Shanming. He signaled to the others not to care.

After returning to the village office, Lu Li asked a few people to go back to the room and put the wine jar in front of the ancestral tablet.

I went to Uncle Jiu's room to watch, and sure enough, Mao Shanming climbed over the wall stealthily. After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, he picked up the jar of wine and wanted to leave.

Cough!

Suddenly there was a cough, Mao Shanming turned around quickly and found that Lu Li, his ninth uncle Wencai and Awei had all come out.

Mao Shanming smiled awkwardly.

"Fellow Daoist, why do you want to raise this? Aren't you afraid of retribution?" Uncle Jiu was still soft-hearted and did not see any blood in Mao Shanming.

"It's all for two meals." Mao Shanming admitted that he raised ghosts to make money.

"As long as you work hard and study the Dao, you won't starve if you look at Feng Shui."

Lu Li is annoyed by people who don't know how to cherish the opportunities they have. In the future, ordinary people will not be able to learn true Taoist techniques.

"Ghosts bring about decay, ominousness, disease, the black death and many other disasters. How can anything good happen if you keep hanging out with them? You must be sadder now than before you met them, right?" Uncle Jiu shook his head.

After all, those who raise ghosts will never have a good ending.

"If you really want to do good for them, I will help you to liberate them and give you time to say goodbye." Lu Li said.

Mao Shanming took the jar to the yard and broke it, and Dabao came out leading Xiaobao.

"Uncle Ming." Xiaobao shouted.

Mao Shanming sighed.

"You have followed me for several years, but you have not enjoyed any happiness. Instead, you have been following me everywhere. Now that you have the opportunity to reincarnate, why not start a new life as a human being?"

"Uncle Ming, what are you going to do?" Dabao said.

"I won't be any worse off alone. I plan to practice hard, so at least I don't have to worry so much."

"Okay then, Xiaobao, we'll be brothers in the next life." Dabao said and hugged Xiaobao.

Lu Li walked over and patted Mao Shanming on the shoulder to signal that it was time to begin.

He pinched his fingers and pointed at the ground, and suddenly a black hole appeared.

Dabao and Xiaobao walked in, waved goodbye to Mao Shanming, and finally closed the black hole.

Seeing that Lu Li had this ability, Mao Shanming was completely impressed.
