Hong Kong General Assembly began to practice

Chapter 14 Apprenticeship to Uncle 9

Seeing Li Moye suddenly take out such an expensive watch, Uncle Jiu couldn't sit still.

He knew the price of this thing. An ordinary pocket watch in a foreign store would cost forty or fifty dollars, while a better one might cost over a hundred dollars.

You know, nowadays two dollars can support an average family for a month and still have some money left over.

Li Moye's piece is not cheap at first glance, the shell is exquisite, and it doesn't need to be wound up. This thing is obviously expensive. How can he let Wencai accept such a valuable gift? Even if Wencai is sold, it is not worth this price.

"Brother Moye, your gift is too valuable. We cannot accept it."

After saying this, he looked at Wencai and said:

"Wencai, why don't you return it quickly? How dare you accept such an expensive gift?"

Wencai's mood was a bit up and down tonight. He was sleeping soundly when his master woke him up and asked him to look after the gate. Then his master ran out. He could only sit in the living room and take a nap. He was woken up by his master just after taking a nap. He was also called by another master to help a pretty boy boil medicine.

I was originally quite annoyed with this pretty boy, but I didn't expect that he would call me "Master's Disciple" and "Brother Wencai" all the time. He is really handsome and speaks well.

Wencai was impressed by the young man in front of him. The most important thing was that he gave him a beautiful watch as a gift. Wencai liked it instantly when he saw such a high-end product. But he didn't expect that the watch was returned before he even had time to warm up.

It's really ups and downs.

Li Moye saw that Wencai was reluctant to give up the watch and wanted to return it. And judging from Uncle Jiu's expression, it seemed impossible for him to let Wencai accept it.

Li Moye thought about it, gritted his teeth, and knelt down in front of Uncle Jiu.

"Master Jiushu, I actually have a selfish motive. I have been interested in Taoism since I was a child, but I learned martial arts because my elders stopped me. I just saw you, Master Jiushu, showing off your prowess. I have martial arts skills but no self-defense. So I beg you to accept me and teach me Taoism."

Uncle Jiu was a little stunned by Li Moye's sudden request to become his disciple, but after he came to his senses, he was filled with joy.

He didn't expect that Li Moye also had a heart for Taoism. However, he still maintained his majestic image. He said in a deep voice:

"Moye, think carefully. Once you enter our Maoshan, you must abide by our Maoshan precepts. That is, good and evil are opposed and fight for life. Once you enter our Maoshan, you must take it as your responsibility to subdue demons and monsters. If you are not careful, you may even lose your life. Are you sure you want to take me as your master?"

"Master Jiushu, I can learn the truth in the morning and die in the evening. I have a sincere heart for the truth and will strictly abide by the rules of Maoshan. I will take it as my responsibility to subdue demons and monsters and exorcise evil spirits. I hope that you will accept me as your disciple."

Uncle Jiu looked at Moye's determined eyes and felt very relieved.

Uncle Jiu had just used his magic eye and the Maoshan fortune-telling technique to investigate Li Moye. He found that his fortune was long-lasting, and he was moderate and peaceful. There was a hint of golden light of merit on his body. Uncle Jiu could tell that Li Moye was definitely not a criminal.

So he had a change of heart and wanted to accept Li Moye as his disciple. Maoshan was very strict in accepting disciples. Generally, they would only accept disciples after considering their moral character. Otherwise, if they learned Maoshan magic and brought disaster to the world, it would be a severe blow to the entire Maoshan.

"Get up!"

Hearing Uncle Jiu's majestic voice, he didn't agree to let him stand up. He thought Uncle Jiu rejected him. Although he expected it. Li Moye was still a little disappointed, secretly sighing that the road to cultivation was long and difficult. But he still wanted to fight for it. This opportunity was missed. He didn't know how to stay in the charity cemetery.

"Master Jiushu! I..."

"Hmm~! What did you call me?"

Li Moye's words of pleading had not yet been said correctly when he was interrupted by Uncle Jiu. Just hearing this, Li Moye's eyes lit up instantly. He tentatively called out

"master?"

"Hmm~"

Uncle Jiu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"Get up! It's getting late today. Tomorrow I will burn incense and report to the Grandmaster that I will accept you as my disciple."

Hearing that Uncle Jiu agreed to take him in as his apprentice, Li Moye jumped up in joy. He bowed to Uncle Jiu again.

"Thank you for being my disciple, Master. I will serve you wholeheartedly to repay your kindness!"

Uncle Jiu was very happy to see that a talented person had been accepted as his disciple. Especially since Li Moye was handsome, polite, and well-spoken. In the future, he could bring him along when he went out to discuss business.

Looking at Wencai who was stunned by this scene, Uncle Jiu thought to himself, "If you compare yourself to others, you will die. If you compare goods, you will lose your happiness."

Wencai felt that his brain was not enough today. Didn't he say he wanted to take back the watch? How did it suddenly become a discipleship? And the boy succeeded in becoming a disciple. The master also agreed. He now has such a rich and handsome junior brother? Is he still dreaming?

Li Moye looked at Wencai's expression and felt amused. So he waved his hand in front of Wencai. When Wencai came back to his senses, he clasped his fists towards him again.

"Brother! I will be your disciple from now on. Thank you for your care in the future."

The more Uncle Jiu saw Li Moye being so polite, the happier he was. He said that it was really the blessing of the Grandmaster that he was given such an excellent disciple.

"Ah! Hello, Junior Brother. My Senior Brother... um... this is Master... Junior Brother..."

I saw Wencai pointing at the watch on his hand and stammering, not knowing what to say.

Li Moxie stepped forward to help:

"Master! Since I have already become your disciple, I will consider this watch as a gift to you. Please accept it."

Hearing what Li Moye said, Uncle Jiu didn't know what to say, so he just nodded and agreed.

After seeing that his master asked him to accept this exquisite watch, Wencai jumped for joy. He hugged Li Moye and said:

"Thank you, Junior Brother. I will protect you in the charity cemetery from now on."

Seeing Wencai's embarrassing appearance, Uncle Jiu stepped forward and slapped him. Then he said:

"You have accepted your junior brother's gift, why don't you go and make medicine for him?"

"Ah! Right, right, right! Junior brother, wait a minute! I'll go make some medicine for you right away!"

Wencai excitedly ran out holding the watch Li Moyue gave him.

Li Moxie, who saw this scene, also thought that this Senior Brother Wencai was quite cute. Just like when he was a child and got his favorite toy, he danced with joy.

Li Moyue took out another watch from the luggage bag. This watch was golden in color and the edge of the dial was inlaid with blue diamonds.

It looks more upscale and noble than the one Wencai had. This watch cost Li Moye more than 300,000 yuan. The one he gave to Wencai was only a few thousand yuan. It's not that Li Moye favors one over the other. It's just that he must buy the best for his master. He also bought two of the same model, one for his uncle and the other for his master.

After all, he was planning to become a disciple, so he had to prepare many etiquette items in advance. Although he could also give the peach wood sword to his master as a gift, it was just that only experts knew the ins and outs of the peach wood sword, which was far less popular than high-end goods like watches in this world. And he also knew that his master cared most about his reputation.

So Li Moxie took out his watch, walked up to Uncle Jiu, and presented it with both hands:

"Master! This is my disciple's apprenticeship gift. I hope you won't refuse it."

Uncle Jiu saw this watch which was even more luxurious than the one Wencai had just bought. He immediately refused:

"Mo Xie, this is too valuable. I cannot accept it, and you don't need to be so polite. I accepted you as my disciple because I saw that you were brave and knowledgeable when dealing with the female ghost just now, and you have good martial arts skills. You don't need to build a solid realm after entering. You can directly teach you. What you are doing is just like I am greedy for your money."

"Master! What you said is serious. Mo Xie has no relatives in this world. I am very happy that you are willing to accept me into the Taoism. Moreover, Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, Parents and Teachers are all important to you. You accept me as your disciple, which makes you half a father to me. So what is wrong with the younger generation being filial to the elders? Moreover, I have nothing, and these are the only things I can show off. I hope Master will not despise them. And this is also the disciple's apprenticeship gift. I hope Master will not refuse."

After hearing what Li Moye had said, Uncle Jiu couldn't refuse and accepted it shamelessly.

Uncle Jiu was so happy! He had such an excellent apprentice. Moreover, this apprentice was generous and gave him such a foreign thing. It was not cheap at first glance. The key was that it was also very impressive to take it out.

After Uncle Jiu accepted the gift, the master and his apprentice began to chat, but mostly Uncle Jiu was asking questions and Li Moye was answering.

Most of the questions Uncle Jiu asked were about Li Moye's previous life and his martial arts practice. But what surprised Li Moye was that Uncle Jiu's world did not have any martial arts practice methods. The reason was that when Li Moye talked about his practice level, Uncle Jiu was confused.

After Li Moye asked, he found out that the strongest warrior in this world had only cultivated to the Huajin level. The Baodan level after Huajin was not available in the Gangqi level.

Moreover, the martial arts in this world are not divided in this way, but are divided according to [Wu Sheng, Wu Fu, Wu Jiang, Wu Hou, Wu Shen]. According to what Uncle Jiu said about the difference between each realm, Li Moyue secretly compared them.

[From Wusheng to Wufu] corresponds to the difference between the early Mingjing stage and the late Mingjing stage.

[From General to Marquis] corresponds to the difference between the early stage of Dark Realm and the late stage of Dark Mirror.

The realm of [Martial God] should be the Hua Jin period.

And according to Uncle Jiu, in this world, warriors were only popular when the Qing Dynasty was still in existence, but they declined afterwards. The resources consumed by warriors were much greater than those of Taoists, and the family assets were not enough to support the consumption of practicing martial arts.

Taoism practitioners can earn money by helping people exorcise ghosts and demons, drive corpses, read feng shui, and tell fortunes. The better martial artists can serve as bodyguards. The worse ones can only serve as thugs or even laborers. Some martial artists cannot even support themselves, so they dare not continue to practice.

Therefore, there are not many martial arts masters nowadays. The so-called strongest realm of "Martial God" here was once a great general of the previous dynasty. No one has ever reached this realm since then.

Hearing this, Li Moye couldn't help but sigh. Practicing martial arts does consume more resources than practicing Taoism. Ordinary Taoists rely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice, and although their appetite will increase greatly, it is not as exaggerated as that of martial artists. High-year medicinal materials are not necessary. If you have them, the progress of practice will be accelerated, and if you don't have them, the progress of practice will be slow.

Warriors need a lot of medicinal herbs for internal and external use, as well as sufficient meat and food, which are all necessities. Otherwise, they will hurt themselves.

Li Moye was surprised. Uncle Jiu was even more surprised. He was very curious about who taught Li Moye the martial arts. Because Li Moye explained his martial arts realm in more detail than he had ever heard before. And according to the martial arts realm he had learned before, his good disciple was already a martial artist at the [Martial God] realm.

And the fact that there is a path above the God of War surprised Uncle Jiu. But after hearing about the performance of the later realms, Uncle Jiu could only say that he was very powerful, but not as powerful as practicing Taoism. Because at his current realm, not to mention beating the God of War, it would be no problem to tie. If he used Taoism, it would be even easier.

In Uncle Jiu's opinion, Li Moye's martial arts were very strong, but they were far inferior to Taoism. Li Moye's martial arts were only to develop his body's potential. In the later stages of his practice, his body's meridians were all connected, and his blood and qi circulated throughout his body. He became a superhuman. But no matter how strong he was, he was still just a mortal.

The purpose of practicing Taoism is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish oneself. Let one's life level achieve a kind of evolution. When practicing to a certain level, one can even regain youth and eventually ascend to become an immortal.

So in Uncle Jiu's opinion, Li Moye's martial arts was just amazing, but he didn't have the attitude that he was amazing.

Li Moye could understand it. After all, he was only practicing ordinary Chinese martial arts. It was definitely not comparable to cultivating immortals. Moreover, his combat power was not as good as the flying and hiding in the ground in the gold-based martial arts. He could not hit a big hole with a palm from a distance. It was normal for Uncle Jiu to despise his martial arts.

But Li Moxie was not discouraged. He wanted to learn Taoism, and he couldn't fall behind in martial arts. After all, the two did not conflict. And he had a god-level training system.

Jiushu and Li Moye chatted for about an hour. Wencai also boiled the medicine. After Li Moye drank the medicine, Jiushu also asked Li Moye and Wencai to go to rest.

"Mo Xie, you sleep in Qiu Sheng's room first. Your senior brother Qiu Sheng often sleeps at his aunt's house. He only comes here occasionally. Tomorrow I will ask your senior brother Wencai to prepare a room for you."

"Okay, Master. Then you should also go to bed early."

After seeing Uncle Jiu leave, Wencai happily started chatting with Li Moye. Maybe it was because he finally had someone to accompany him in the charity cemetery, and he finally had a junior fellow apprentice. After Uncle Jiu left, he kept talking.

But Li Moxie also likes to chat with his senior brother. He is slow to warm up. He doesn't like to talk to people he doesn't know well. But if someone keeps chatting with him, he can chat very well.

Li Moye likes Wencai's character. Although he has a bit of a childish nature and often makes trouble in the play, Li Moye can see that his nature is still very pure. To put it nicely, he has a pure heart, but to put it bluntly, he is a fool with no emotional intelligence.

But he was obedient, honest, hardworking and diligent. Wencai was responsible for the hygiene of the entire charity cemetery and the preparation of breakfast and dinner.

As for lunch, ordinary people in this era only eat two meals at most. Only rich families or families with coolies eat three meals. Otherwise, Jiu Shu and Wen Cai would not be so skinny. Only Qiu Sheng has his own aunt to take care of him. Usually, he is given special food to make Qiu Sheng so strong.

After understanding the situation, I found out that it was Wencai who usually went to buy food.

Li Moye took out 50 yuan from his bag and gave it to Wencai, asking him to improve his daily meals, at least three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

Because he practiced martial arts, he couldn't eat only pickled vegetables and steamed buns like Uncle Jiu and Wencai. He also told Wencai that he would have to eat three meals a day from now on. His master and his senior brother were too thin. Li Moye planned to give them some supplements.
