Hong Kong General Assembly began to practice
Chapter 13: Thunder Strike Peach Wood Sword
Uncle Jiu looked at the young man in front of him who was addressing him in a messy way, but his eyes were full of admiration and his words were full of respect. He felt very happy, but when he heard the next words, he was about to stop him.
He saw Li Moye stood up and bowed to him as if nothing had happened. This made Uncle Jiu admire the young man in front of him even more.
He is courageous and resolute. He dared to confront the female ghost without practicing Taoism. He was able to deal with the female ghost even when he knew he was meeting her. This shows that he is also very intelligent. The most important thing is that he is handsome and has a gentle temperament, like a gentleman. He has the demeanor of his youth.
He thought to himself that it was no wonder that the female ghost was chasing him. As a man, he was quite impressed by such a young talent.
Moreover, Uncle Jiu looked at Li Moye's clothes and knew that he was a rich kid. This kind of person, who was rich, handsome, strong in martial arts, and intelligent, had not lost his vitality. His character was also very good.
If he hadn't been concerned that Li Moxie might be the son of a wealthy family, Uncle Jiu would have wanted to take him in as his apprentice. Thinking of this, Uncle Jiu stepped forward and helped Li Moxie up. Then he asked:
"Young man, there's no need to be polite. I just heard you call me Uncle Nine, and judging from the direction you were running from, you should be coming from Renjia Town. Which family in Renjia Town are you from? Why are you being chased by a female ghost in the middle of the night?"
Hearing Uncle Jiu's question, Li Moye politely narrated:
"Master Jiushu, I am not from Renjia Town. My last name is Li and my given name is Moye. After returning from studying abroad, I was told that my parents had both passed away in an accident two years ago. I was far away from home and did not receive any news. I was so upset that I dismissed the servants and sold my property to travel around. I happened to encounter this female ghost when I traveled here. Fortunately, before entering the town, I heard that there was a master like you, Uncle Jiu. I planned to come to visit you tomorrow morning. I didn't expect to meet you in this way."
Uncle Jiu was very pleased to hear Li Moye's flattery. He also liked the name Moye. Don't go the wrong way. It seems that the parents of this young man have good expectations for him. And he has not let his parents down. Although it is a bit unkind to say this, after knowing that Li Moye is a lonely man, Uncle Jiu's intention to take him in as a disciple has moved again.
But there was no rush for the moment. He was skilled in martial arts and dared to travel around alone. Obviously, he was wealthy. Under such circumstances, if he followed him to practice Taoism and live a hard life, he might not agree. Besides, he was educated and learned. Uncle Jiu was not sure that he could accept him as his apprentice.
"Brother Moye, the dead are gone, so you don't have to worry too much. I believe your father would also hope that you can live a good life. Besides, it's getting late now. If you don't mind the bad luck, you can go to my charity cemetery to rest for a night. We can consider other things tomorrow."
Hearing Uncle Jiu invite him to his charity cemetery, Li Moye certainly didn't mind, and the main purpose of his coming to this world was to worship Uncle Jiu as his master and learn the cultivation method.
"Master Jiushu, you are joking. How could I dislike it? Besides, with a master like you in charge, your charity cemetery is the only place in the whole Renjia Town where people can feel most at ease."
"My dear little brother, you are too polite. Come with me. I will take you to the charity cemetery to rest. You were just injured by a female ghost. I have some medicine for you to recover."
Jiushu was flattered by Li Moye and didn't even correct Li Moye's questionable way of addressing him. After all, he did want to take him in as his apprentice, but he was just too embarrassed to ask.
"Okay, Master Jiushu, please wait for a moment, kid. I just had a fight with a female ghost and my luggage was left behind. I'll go get it first."
Li Moxie ran to pick up his suitcase. It contained the capital for his life in this world. Moreover, he knew that Uncle Jiu was an upright person. He was embarrassed to charge too much for helping the villagers with their affairs. If he met a villager who was short of money, he might just take one or two eggs or a little grain as a reward.
As for what others say, it is impossible to give it to others for free. The laws of nature are orderly, and the cause and effect will be broken. Exorcising demons and ghosts, fortune-telling, face reading, and feng shui all require karma. Therefore, after resolving the problem with the host, you must use money or things to break the cause and effect. Treat this as a transaction. In this way, you will not be involved in the cause and effect of the host.
It's just that Uncle Jiu is too proud, so he often takes things of little value, which is equivalent to working for nothing. Fortunately, there are many rich people in Renjia Town. They are also generous. Otherwise, Uncle Jiu would not be able to run such a large charity house.
Even if the money was generous, the charity cemetery was not enough to cover the daily expenses. The props and materials he needed for his daily rituals and talismans plus incense, oil, and paper money were also a huge expense. That's why Uncle Jiu in the movie seems a bit greedy and stingy.
So he planned to take out some of the money in the bag as a gift to his master. After all, his future master would definitely share his worries. And he brought a lot of modern industrial gems. In Li Moye's era, each gem would only cost a few hundred yuan, but here they are priceless.
After getting his own luggage bag, Li Moye took out a pack of Zhonghua from it. Li Moye asked his uncle's friend to buy this pack of Zhonghua in the mainland. He bought two boxes in total, but it was not realistic to bring all of them. So he only brought four packs and two small packs. Of course, he had processed them and removed the proofs that they did not belong to this era. There was only the word Zhonghua on the box, which was just right for honoring his future master.
Li Moxie opened a package, then walked up to Uncle Jiu and said with a smile:
"Master Jiushu, please smoke. I bought this cigarette from a friend. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Uncle Jiu usually only smoked a pipe, and had never seen this kind of cigarette with a filter. After taking it, he put it to his nose and sniffed it, and found that the tobacco smell was very fragrant. It tasted better than the boxed cigarettes that he usually couldn't bear to smoke.
Li Moyue took out a Zippo lighter and lit a cigarette for Uncle Jiu.
Seeing Li Moye take out these novel things, Uncle Jiu's eyes lit up. He had seen this kind of lighter before at Master Ren's place. Master Ren treasured it very much at that time.
Li Moye saw Uncle Jiu looking at his lighter. His eyes lit up and he knew that Uncle Jiu must like this lighter very much. So he gave the lighter to Uncle Jiu directly.
How could Uncle Jiu want this thing? He knew it must be very valuable.
"Uncle Jiu, these are just some small things. They are worth nothing abroad. And you saved my life, this is nothing but a token of my gratitude. And I have several more."
After that, Li Moye took out a few more from his bag. Seeing that Li Moye had at least five or six of these lighters, Uncle Jiu shamelessly accepted them.
After all, he really liked this lighter. And the cigarettes that Li Moye gave him were also very fragrant. Uncle Jiu felt that rich people knew how to enjoy themselves.
The charity cemetery was actually a short distance away from here. But the two of them were not in a hurry to get there. They walked back slowly.
Li Moye also took the opportunity to ask Uncle Jiu about some things about ghosts. When Uncle Jiu saw that Li Moye was interested in these things, he would definitely be happy to explain them to him.
"Oh, Moye, I just saw that the peach wood sword you used to deal with the female ghost should be of high quality. It should be at least a hundred-year-old lightning-struck peach wood sword. This kind of peach wood sword is also considered a top-grade magic weapon. This kind of magic weapon is generally not easily lost. Where did you get this sword? Could it be that one of your ancestors was a Taoist priest?"
Li Moxie was surprised to hear that the thing in his hand was a hundred-year-old peach wood sword. Didn't the boss say it was 50 years old? It seems that the boss was also fooling him. It's just that he himself didn't know the specific value of this peach wood sword. So he just made up a 50-year-old one. But no matter what, it's okay as long as he doesn't lose money.
"Um~ Master Jiushu, there is no elder in my family who has ever been a Taoist priest. I bought this peach wood sword from a stall owner. He said that his ancestors were also Taoist priests who exorcised ghosts and demons, and he said that this peach wood sword is 50 years old. And I have made some achievements in martial arts. I can sense a special aura on the peach wood sword. So I think this peach wood sword should not be just for show. So I bought it."
"Besides, I have heard some storytellers talk about these ghost stories. I know that the peach wood sword can ward off ghosts and protect oneself, so I carried it with me. When I was fighting the female ghost just now, I also heard from the storyteller that blood from the tip of the tongue can also ward off evil spirits. So I sprayed some blood on it. I didn't expect it to be so effective."
After hearing this, Uncle Jiu could only sigh that Li Moye was lucky, as he bought a 50-year-old peach wood sword instead of a 100-year-old one, and it was a lightning-struck peach wood sword.
It's like you want to buy a brass Buddha statue to take home, but after buying it you find out that it's not brass but gold, and the statue has actually been blessed. It's incredible luck.
"I can only say that you, Moye, are lucky. Although this 50-year-old peach wood sword is precious, it can be bought at a high price. However, the 100-year-old peach wood sword is basically the core magic weapon of the sect and is basically priceless. And your -year-old lightning-struck peach wood sword can even be used as the sect's sacred weapon."
"A lightning-struck peach wood sword has lightning properties, which naturally have a restraining effect on demons and evil spirits. Ordinary ghosts and monsters will basically die if they touch a hundred-year-old lightning-struck peach wood sword. The energy you feel on this sword is the lightning property. However, this peach wood sword of yours must have been left behind by a master. And then it was picked up by someone who didn't know its value."
"So this sword has not been blessed with mana for many years, and the spiritual charm on it has begun to be restrained. If it weren't for your tongue blood that activated a little bit of the lightning attribute attached to it, it would definitely not have caused such great damage to the female ghost. If you have mana, just inject mana into this sword and bless it. Then you can just casually strike the female ghost and make her soul fly away."
“So strong!”
Li Moye exclaimed, he didn't expect that the peach wood sword he bought just for precautionary purposes turned out to be a magic weapon of the Zhenjiao level. Li Moye was even thinking about whether to give this peach wood sword to Uncle Jiu and ask him to accept him as his disciple.
Uncle Jiu specifically mentioned the peach wood sword to bring up this topic. He had long discovered that Li Moye's peach wood sword was unusual. Just now, he took a special look and found that it was indeed a hundred-year-old lightning-struck peach wood sword. So he specifically mentioned that it takes mana to activate the peach wood sword. He wanted to see if Li Moye would be interested in mana. Then he could learn Taoism from him.
The two had their own ideas, but their goals were similar. One wanted to become a disciple but was afraid that he would be rejected by Uncle Jiu. He would have no room for maneuver. The other wanted to accept a disciple but was reluctant to ask for it himself. He would be so embarrassed if he was rejected.
In this somewhat weird atmosphere, the two people quickly walked to the charity cemetery.
When the two of them arrived at the living room of the charity cemetery, Li Moye saw a man in a green jacket sitting in the living room and taking a nap.
Uncle Jiu felt a little embarrassed when he saw this scene, so he stepped forward and hit Wencai on the head.
"You little brat, I told you to watch Yizhuang while you sleep here."
Wencai was hit and suddenly woke up. He touched his head and said to Uncle Jiu in a daze:
"Master, you're back. I'll go get you a glass of water."
Seeing this half asleep disciple still thinking about him, Uncle Jiu was both relieved and helpless. So he said slowly:
"We have guests coming to our house. Go prepare some tea first, then go to the medicine cabinet and boil a dose of medicine for internal injuries."
"Decoction? Master, you are injured."
Hearing Wencai ask this, if Uncle Jiu hadn't wanted to establish a good image in front of Li Moye, he would have slapped him again. But he also said unhappily:
"Didn't you hear me say that a guest is here? This young man was just beaten by a female ghost. I asked you to boil some medicine to heal his wounds."
"Oh! Okay, Master."
After saying that, he looked at the man who was following his master. He looked handsome and was wearing a dress. But when he thought about how he had made his master angry because of him, he also felt unhappy with him.
Li Moye naturally saw the displeasure in Wencai's eyes. Wencai and Qiu Sheng both had the same personality. Following Uncle Jiu, a master, their horizons were naturally higher than those of ordinary people. So they usually looked down on everyone. However, although the two were a little narrow-minded, they were actually not bad people. It was just that they were protected by Uncle Jiu and had a childish mentality.
After all, Wencai might be his senior brother in the future, so he naturally had to maintain a good relationship with him. So he took the initiative to clasp his fists and said:
"This must be Brother Wencai, Master Jiushu's best disciple! I am Li Moxie, and I was just saved by Master Jiushu. I am ashamed to bother Brother Wencai to make medicine for me in the middle of the night. And I didn't bring any gifts for my first visit. Although there are reasons for it, it is still impolite."
After saying this, Li Moxie took out the mechanical watch he had prepared long ago from his luggage bag, handed it to Wencai and said:
"I just returned from studying abroad and bought some gadgets there. This is a mechanical watch, waterproof and drop-proof, and it doesn't need to be wound up. Just wear it on your hand and rely on the flywheel inside to keep the watch running. I'll give this to Brother Wencai as a gift."
Wencai was stunned when he saw such an exquisite watch for the first time. The glass of the watch case was transparent, and through the back glass, he could see the small gears inside running automatically without the need for a spring. This was much more upscale than the pocket watches that the wealthy businessmen had.
