"Thank you, senior brother."
"Why should you and I be so polite? In the future, as long as we stick to our true intentions, do more good deeds, and accumulate merit, we will be happy enough."
Uncle Jiu didn't give too many instructions. He was quite relieved about the junior brother in front of him.
If it were Wencai and Qiu Sheng, he would not only give instructions, but also keep an eye on them every day.
Jingzhou's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother, are merits beneficial to practice? I often hear people say that we need to accumulate negative virtues, but I don't know what is the difference between negative virtues and merits?"
Jing Zhou knew that Uncle Jiu himself was the money printing team of the underworld. In this jurisdiction, Uncle Jiu was in charge of all the issuance of paper money. One of the reasons why Uncle Jiu is so advanced is that besides his high qualifications, he may also have many connections with the senior class of the underworld bank.
Uncle Jiu glanced at Jing Zhou approvingly and said with a smile: "Merits are directed toward the Tao. Merits are only considered if a person does something that is beneficial to heaven and earth. Merits are difficult to accumulate, and there are many wonderful uses. This is only beneficial to practice. One of them, even senior fellow apprentices can’t explain all its wonderful uses.”
"Building bridges and repairing roads, doing good deeds without seeking immediate rewards are yin virtues, so a house that accumulates good deeds must have residual happiness. The yin virtues are hidden and have long-term effects. They can bless future generations and accumulate good fortune in the next life. In addition to yin virtues, there are also yang virtues. Yin virtues can be accumulated over a long period of time, but Yang virtues have immediate effects. You will be blessed by God in this world, have good fortune and fortune with you, seek good fortune and avoid evil, and be respected by others."
Jingzhou nodded, thoughtfully.
"So we, as cultivators, must go up to heaven and practice virtue, so that even if it is difficult to achieve success in this life, we can rely on the accumulated merits to find a job down there." It seemed that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and it seemed that suddenly Thinking of something, Uncle Jiu changed the topic and raised his eyebrows: "Junior brother, I wonder if you have ever drank foreign tea?"
"Foreign tea?"
Jing Zhou felt funny in his heart, knowing that Ren Fa was about to move the coffin.
Although Uncle Jiu's Taoist skills are second to none and unmatched, his acting skills are really unflattering. Although he tried his best to hide it, the joy on his face was self-evident.
As the strongest village leader in Novice Village, Uncle Jiu's acting skills are probably better than those of someone who can only read one, two, three, four, five lines.
With a look of joy on his face, those who didn't know thought that he was a dead tree and an old tree was sprouting.
Jingzhou suppressed a smile and said, "I have drank foreign tea a few times. I wonder why senior brother suddenly asked this? Could it be that you want to drink foreign tea?"
Uncle Jiu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his cigarette bag, took a puff of cigarette, and returned to the look of a Taoist master. Feng Qingyundan said: "This is not Master Ren from the town asking me for something. The morning after tomorrow, He said he would treat me to foreign tea."
"If junior brother hasn't drank it before, I plan to take him to try it. Since he has already drank it, well", before Uncle Jiu said anything, Jingzhou smiled and said: "Then it doesn't hurt to drink it again. After all, it is my brother's heart~ "
Uncle Jiu nodded, "That's fine. Anyway, Master Ren is treating me to a treat. I'll drink again after drinking. When junior brother lives in the town in the future, he will inevitably have to deal with the people in the town. The Ren family has been prosperous for many years and has a lot of influence in this town. , Junior Brother can just go and get to know Mr. Ren."
Knowing that Uncle Jiu is the one who saves the most face, Jingzhou added: "Senior brother is very skilled in Taoism, but Master Ren is a sensible person. If he knows something is wrong, he should go to him, not the charlatan."
"No, no, it's just that Mr. Ren is closer to Yizhuang." Sure enough, when Uncle Jiu heard the compliment, although he was polite, his eyebrows had already raised three points.
"Junior brother, please don't forget me," Uncle Jiu hummed a tune and left with his hands behind his back.
For two days in a row, Jingzhou devoted himself to reading the three booklets given by Uncle Jiu.
Jingzhou is not too concerned about the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing", after all, he has no shortage of skills.
On the contrary, the nameless booklet and the "Encyclopedia of Talismans" fascinated him.
The nameless list records not only the formations and Uncle Jiu's own cultivation experience, but also many secrets. Whether they are ghosts, monsters or zombies, they are all introduced in detail.
To Jing Zhou's surprise, the nameless book also contained detailed records of the underworld power group.
In the underworld team, the most familiar King Yama is just a middle-level cadre.
There are six meritorious officials under the King of Hell in the Ten Palaces, three divisions of Samsara, Judge, and Yin Cao, and there are five ghost emperors above.
As for the black and white impermanence and the bull-headed and horse-faced people who often come to the human world as guests, they are the top ten sinister and handsome ghosts in the underworld. They are considered to be the grassroots of the underworld's power team and are subordinate to the soul arresters under the judge.
Jingzhou watched with great interest. Uncle Jiu was indeed an insider of the underworld system. He knew more than ordinary people.
However, after searching for a long time, he could not see which department of the Underworld the Underworld Bank's chief executive belonged to.
As for the Maoshan Talisman, it consists of two parts: "talisman" and "瓓". It is not a simple yellow talisman.
"Fu" refers to runes, and "瓓" records the names of the gods in the heavens. It is held by the gods, so a thin yellow talisman can ward off evil spirits and suppress ghosts.
Wencai and Qiu Sheng came here twice during this period. Without him, the food at Shishu's place is much better than that at Yizhuang.
Wencai and Qiu Sheng would probably have come here more than twice if there wasn't a fox that was quite mean to the two of them.
The third day
Jingzhou had just finished breakfast when Wencai ran in anxiously.
"Uncle Master~"
Jingzhou nodded, "Wencai, you look happy?"
Wen Cai said coyly: "Uncle, you have seen this."
Jingzhou just took a sip of tea, and then spurted it out again.
Damn it, on your watermelon-headed face, you have your mouth wide open and a row of big teeth exposed. You just need a brush to write a few words on your face: "I'm happy."
As long as you are not blind, no one can see this!
"Ahem"
Jingzhou trembled slightly and coughed a few times.
"Son~"
Ah Jiu glared at Wen Cai, then hurriedly stepped forward, put one hand on Jing Zhou's back and patted him gently.
Ever since Ah Jiu refined a real-life elixir, his number of transformed human forms has increased significantly. During the past two days, when there were no outsiders at home, he would always maintain his human form, especially when Wencai and Qiu Sheng came to have dinner.
Jing Zhou thought that it might be easier to teach Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng a lesson by transforming into a human body.
After all, the fox body can only show its teeth and show its fierceness, but the human body can punch to the flesh.
"Miss Ajiu, why are you staring at me? This has nothing to do with me~" Wencai looked innocent, then clapped his hands and said: "It must have been last night, uncle, you drank again!"
"Haha, Wencai, when did you become so smart?" Jingzhou coughed for a few times before his breathing became smoother.
"Really? Uncle Master, do you think so too? I feel like I've become a lot smarter recently." Wencai chuckled, then opened his mouth and grinned.
Jingzhou shook his head and sighed softly. This guy Wen Cai didn't know who he saved in his previous life, so he could be under the disciples of Uncle Jiu in this life. This kind of qualification is really not something that can be complimented. There are few people in the world like him.
Even though he was sold, he happily helped count the money!
Fortunately, this boy is honest and loyal, which is a rare advantage.
Jing Zhou waved his hand, signaling Ah Jiu not to worry, and said to Wen Cai, "Wen Cai, what do you want from coming to my place so early?"
Wencai clapped his hands violently, his smiling face immediately burst into tears, and he hurriedly stepped forward to pull Jingzhou on, "Uncle, hurry up, hurry up, it will be too late in a while, master said he would take us to have tea with a foreigner!"
"Why are you so anxious? This foreign tea can't fly there."
Jingzhou slapped Wencai's hand away and stood up slowly.
Wencai looked up at the sun and shook his head repeatedly, "Uncle Master, you are lying again. If we go late, what else will we drink after Master finishes drinking?"
"I have never drunk foreign tea in my whole life, uncle, hurry up!"
Wencai became more and more anxious. Jingzhou shook his head, told Ah Jiu to look after the house, and then followed Wencai towards the center of the town.
"Good morning, Granny Zhang~"
"Aunt Li, leave two of these fish for me as usual, and someone will come to get them later."
Jingzhou smiled and kept greeting people on the street.
On the other hand, Wen Cai was just like his dead parents, who kept mumbling behind him.
Jing Zhou turned around and gave Wen Cai a slap, "Look at your little potential, isn't it just drinking foreign tea? If you miss it today, my uncle will compensate you for two days in a row tomorrow and the next day."
"real?"
Wencai shouted.
"When did my uncle lie to you?"
"Yes, yes, I knew that Uncle Master was the best."
Wen Cai changed the bitter look on his face and followed Jing Zhou's example, putting one hand behind his back and following Jing Zhou in a figure-footed step. He was no longer in a hurry.
Jingzhou shook his head and mourned for Uncle Jiu for another two minutes.
Suddenly Wen Cai took a step forward, lined up with Jing Zhou, and said seductively: "Uncle Master, what do you think of my clothes?"
Today Wencai was wearing a brown gown with an emerald satin cover. Jingzhou glanced at him and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Uncle, you don't think it looks bad, do you?"
Wen Cai's mind was a step faster now, and he understood what Jing Zhou meant.
This dress was a new one given to him by Uncle Jiu for the Chinese New Year. He kept it under the cabinet and couldn't bear to wear it.
I heard today that I was going to drink foreign tea, so I dug it out of the cupboard.
Jing Zhou smiled and said, "Senior brother is a little bit fond of you and Qiu Sheng. Ahem, I have to change these clothes at least twice a year."
In his mind, Jingzhou said again: "But it's not bad. You're not the worst off. If you have to worship under the Four Eyes Sect and only get a piece of tattered clothes after eight years, Jia Le will be much worse off than you."
"Really? Uncle Master, do you think so too?"
"Unfortunately, the master is the most stingy. He even knows how much rice he eats in a day."
Wen Cai's face first changed to happy, then from happy to sad, and then from sad to bitter.
"You have to be careful. If your senior brother listens to such a loud noise, you won't get anything to eat tonight." Jingzhou glanced at Wencai. The boy opened his mouth like a dam releasing floods. After a while, even last year's words came out. Uncle Jiu vomited out those stingy past events, and it seemed that the most stingy person in the world was none other than Uncle Jiu.
"What's the matter? Uncle, you are making such a fuss, but the master can't hear you!"
Wen Cai glanced back at Jing Zhou proudly, and wanted to continue his bitter words by digging out the old accounts of being oppressed by Uncle Jiu in the past. Jing Zhou winked at him and told him to look forward, but Wen Cai suddenly covered his mouth with his hand. I saw Uncle Jiu standing in front of the coffee shop a few dozen meters in front, hesitating.
Jingzhou stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long~"
Uncle Jiu was overjoyed when he heard this voice, "It's not too late, it's just the right time."
After speaking, Uncle Jiu straightened his body and clasped his hands behind his back, "Since junior brother knows a lot about this foreign tea, why don't you come first."
When Wen Cai went to call Jing Zhou earlier, Uncle Jiu was already here.
It was his first time to drink foreign tea. He was afraid of making a fool of himself, so he stayed in front of the door for a while, taking the opportunity to listen to how to drink the foreign tea.
Seeing this, Jingzhou didn't criticize him. He chuckled and pushed the door in. With a wave of his hand, he called the waiter over, gave his name as Ren Fa, and followed the waiter inside.
There is music playing in the room and the decoration is elegant. The literary talent is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Her eyes are wide open, looking east and west, and muttering: "Master, everything in this foreign teahouse is different. Look at that, what a big clock." "
After saying that, Wencai looked quite proud. After today, he could be considered someone who has seen the market.
Seeing Wencai looking around, Uncle Jiu coughed and whispered: "Wencai, don't be embarrassed, we are people with status."
Uncle Jiu saw that the men and women around him were all dressed in suits and dresses. Then he looked at himself in a yellow coat. He was obviously out of place among the people around him, and his face was full of embarrassment.
Like a literary talent, he took out the clothes at the bottom of the box for this foreign tea.
"Fortunately, junior brother is also wearing a long gown. Even if he is embarrassed like this, well, there are still literary talents and junior brother in front of him."
After all, Uncle Jiu was a man who had experienced strong winds and waves. He comforted himself a few words, his face returned to its normal color, and he followed Jing Zhou and strode forward.
Jing Zhou shook his head and laughed heartily. Fortunately, the cafe was not big, so the three of them reached Ren Fa's table within a few steps.
Ren Fa saw Uncle Jiu following a young man and hurriedly stood up to say hello.
"Uncle Jiu, sit down!"
"Master Ren, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting!"
"Haha, no, no, I just arrived. Uncle Ninth is too polite."
"Guys, please take a seat!"
After several people sat down, Ren Fa asked: "Uncle Jiu, who is this little brother?"
Jingzhou's jet-black hair was neatly styled into a neat bun and covered in a delicate crown. Although he was wearing a crescent-colored gown, he still had an aloof demeanor that made it difficult for Renfa not to notice.
"I forgot to introduce you to Master Ren. This is my junior brother."
"It turns out he is Uncle Jiu's junior brother." Ren Fa glanced at Wen Cai, then looked at Jing Zhou, and laughed: "As expected of Uncle Jiu's junior brother, he is really a talented person. The little brother has already gone down the mountain at such a young age. I think he is a His ability is extremely impressive.”
Ren Fa was just saying polite words, and Wen Cai shouted from the side: "If you have eyes, my uncle's ability is naturally great!"
In the past two days, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai often went to Jing Zhou's place to have a meal, and accidentally saw Jing Zhou drawing the Sanwei Zhenhuo talisman, which really shocked the two of them. Wencai was loyal and honest, so Uncle Jiu passed on his ability to draw amulets to Wencai. He followed Uncle Jiu for many years, and the amulet he drew worked sometimes but not always.
Jing Zhou shook his head and smiled bitterly. This guy is always so amazing with his words.
You don't need to bring any money when you go out with a guy like Wencai, but you must have a thick skin.
Ren Fa smiled politely.
The mouth is hairless and the work is effortless.
What kind of skills can this little Taoist priest who looks about the same age as Tingting have?
