A passerby in a horror movie

"Uncle Four Eyes, Uncle Four Eyes, Senior Uncle Gao's disciple has arrived."

Wen Cai shouted at the top of his lungs toward the door.

"You damned scholar, what are you doing, trying to summon a soul in broad daylight!"

Master Simu was sitting on the bed meditating and resting when Wencai suddenly yelled at him, almost making him choke.

So he immediately stopped and angrily shouted outside.

He had been dealing with corpses all night and finally had a chance to rest, but Wencai ruined it all!

The door creaked open.

Master Four Eyes originally intended to teach Wen Cai a lesson, but upon noticing a young man behind Wen Cai who looked like a wealthy young master, he swallowed his words and changed his tune:

"Didn't Wencai say not to disturb my rest? You're ignoring me, aren't you? I'll teach you a lesson later. And who did you say he was?"

Master Simu's tone softened somewhat.

“Uncle Four Eyes is Uncle Gao’s disciple. He came to seek refuge with our master.”

Wen Cai scratched his head and said.

"Greetings, Uncle Four Eyes. I am Li Haotian, disciple of Master Gao."

Li Haotian quickly bowed to Master Simu.

In the movie Mr. Vampire, Master Four Eyes is also an important character. He appears at the beginning and the end, and in the end, he is the one who controls the zombies to help Uncle Nine subdue Master Ren.

Although Master Four Eyes is slightly weaker than Uncle Nine, his cultivation level within the sect is still quite good, and his ability to summon spirits is unparalleled.

Li Haotian's eyes darted around, wondering how he could learn some skills from this Taoist priest.

"Oh, you're Li Haotian, right? Your master passed away not long ago. My condolences. Are you here to seek refuge with Senior Brother Lin?"

Master Simu looked at Li Haotian. With outsiders present, he couldn't very well teach Wencai a lesson, so he decided to let the kid go for the time being.

Yes, for Master Simu, Li Haotian, whom he had just met today, was still considered an outsider, even though he was his senior brother's disciple.

Moreover, that senior brother Gao was not from the same lineage as him. He was much older than him and had left much earlier. The two had hardly met and were basically strangers.

"Yes, I didn't expect that Uncle Four Eyes would be here too. This is really great."

Li Haotian said, feigning surprise.

“My master often mentioned my senior brothers in the sect, especially you, Uncle Lin Jiu and Uncle Simu.”

"Master said that although Uncle Four Eyes' cultivation level is not the highest in the sect, he is the most righteous and treats his fellow disciples with utmost care, especially the younger generation. He is a role model in the sect."

"This disciple has long admired my master, and today I am finally able to meet him."

As he spoke, Li Haotian bowed to Master Simu once again.

"Oh, really? So that's how your master sees me. Not bad, senior brother is right, that's just who I am."

Upon hearing Li Haotian's flattery, Master Simu couldn't help but smile.

Although he knew there was an element of flattery in it, he couldn't possibly refute it since the words sounded so nice.

“Uncle-Master, it’s our first meeting. I don’t have much to offer, but this watch is something I bought while I was studying abroad. It’s not very valuable, but it’s a token of my appreciation. Please accept it.”

As he spoke, Li Haotian took off his watch and presented it to Master Simu with both hands.

"Hey, what are you doing? Take it back quickly."

Master Simu quickly declined.

If it's a younger person he knows well, like Wen Cai or Qiu Sheng, he can shamelessly accept gifts.

But Li Haotian and he had only met for the first time. Logically speaking, it should be him, the senior disciple, who should give the gift. There is no reason for him to accept a gift from a junior disciple.

Besides, this is happening at Senior Brother Lin Jiu's dojo. If Senior Brother finds out, he'll laugh at him.

“Uncle-Master, please accept it. I will be bothering you again these next few days to ask for your guidance. If you don’t accept it, I won’t dare to bother you. Besides, this watch isn’t worth much.”

Li Haotian quickly stuffed the watch into the hands of Master Simu.

Seeing that Li Haotian was determined to accept the watch, Master Simu thought for a moment and could only accept it with a smile. The watch looked extraordinary, and he was also very envious of it.

"Hey, I think you've got a lot of potential. If you ever have any problems in the future, just come to your uncle, and I'll take care of them for you."

Upon receiving the gift, Master Simu was extremely pleased, and his gaze towards Li Haotian became much more benevolent.

This young man is handsome, speaks well, and is very polite; he is truly a man of exceptional talent!

As he spoke, Master Simu touched his pocket again, only to find it empty, and his expression turned somewhat embarrassed.

Logically speaking, since the younger generation gave him gifts upon their first meeting, he should definitely reciprocate with a gift in return.

However, he was still transporting corpses and didn't have anything good on him, so he could only smile and say to Li Haotian:

“Uncle-Master doesn’t have anything good on him right now. So, when you have time, come to my dojo and I’ll personally entertain you.”

Master Simu patted Li Haotian on the shoulder and said with eyes full of admiration.

"Thank you very much, Uncle-Master. It's good that you're here. Let's not wait until later. I have some questions about cultivation. I wonder if you could spare some time these next few days to give me some guidance?"

Seeing that Master Simu was being coaxed into a good mood, Li Haotian seized the opportunity to make his own request.

His watch was only worth about a hundred yuan, so giving it to Master Simu was nothing. It was well worth it to receive Master Simu's guidance in exchange for a watch worth about a hundred yuan.

"Sure, no problem. If you have any questions about cultivation, feel free to ask. Your master will definitely not hold back."

Master Four Eyes nodded and readily agreed.

"That's wonderful! I've heard from Master that Uncle Four Eyes is highly skilled in summoning spirits. It would be my honor to receive guidance from him."

Li Haotian's words were very eloquent, and even Master Simu felt a little embarrassed after hearing them.

He could only smile and nod repeatedly, but after looking at Li Haotian's attire, he felt something was off.

"Your name is Li Haotian, right? I'll call you Xiaotian from now on. Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like the type to study Taoism. Why are you thinking of becoming an apprentice?"

Master Simu and Master Gao were not very familiar with each other, so they had only heard a little about Li Haotian's affairs and did not know anything about them.

He saw Li Haotian as a rich young master, and such people usually wouldn't give up their comfortable lives to learn Taoism and endure hardship.

"Oh, it's like this, Uncle. My father went abroad to work hard in his early years and encountered ghosts. He was saved by a Taoist priest, so he later became a Taoist. Influenced by my father, I also became very interested in Taoism."

Although I received a foreign education, I still consider myself Chinese from the bottom of my heart and I strongly identify with the culture left by our ancestors.

Taoism is China's only indigenous religion, and it has passed down countless treasures. Wouldn't it be a great pity if it were to die out without successors?

As he spoke, Li Haotian displayed a very proud expression.
