Simu felt a lump in his throat for some reason when he heard about Russell's breakthrough to become a Earth Master.
How do I describe that feeling
It's like you worked hard for half your life and earned 10 million, but then your neighbor Wang won 100 million in the lottery, your driver Song inherited 1 billion, and your neighbor Wang built a dung ball reactor and earned 30 billion.
emmm…
Simu raised his middle finger to the sky without any instruction, fuck your God!
"Uncle Master!"
Russell seemed to see the sadness in Simu's heart. He just smiled and took out a green transparent flower from his arms.
It was the coffin fungus that was taken out from Tengteng Town before. Uncle Jiu originally intended to give it to Russell for him to break through to become a geomancer.
But no one would have expected that someone would break through just like God's illegitimate son.
Russell threw the coffin fungus into the sky as if coaxing a child. Every time he threw it, it drew a perfect arc, and Four Eyes' eyes moved up and down.
When the coffin fungus is on top, the four-eyed eyes are on top. When the coffin fungus is on the bottom, the four-eyed eyes follow downwards.
Russell had always thought that this only existed in TV dramas, and this was the first time he saw it in real life.
Really interesting!
He touched the coffin fungus with his hand and sighed deliberately, "What the hell is this?"
"This this this..."
Simu's voice trembled. This was the greatest treasure for a human master to break through to an earth master. It was something he had always dreamed of.
But the place where this thing grows has extremely high requirements. It specifically grows on zombies. The higher the level of the zombies, the better the effect of the coffin fungus.
Looking at the crisp green coffin fungus in his junior apprentice's hand, Simu confirmed with his eyes that it was not something he could get.
But this happened to appear in the hands of my junior nephew!
Four eyes asked in disbelief, "Where did you get this excellent coffin fungus, little nephew?"
"Coffin fungus, so unlucky!" Russell said with disgust, "I picked it up on the road just now. It looked green and I thought it would be a good match for you, uncle, so I picked it up."
He sighed helplessly, "It turns out to be something growing on the coffin. It's really unlucky!"
Simu covered his chest with his hands, his face turned pale. It felt like the goddess he admired most had become his friend's wife.
this…
“Bang!”
There was a crisp slap sound, and Russell covered the back of his head and screamed. Uncle Jiu put his hands behind his back and snorted in dissatisfaction.
"You little bastard, you are really becoming more and more unruly. Not only do you show off in front of your senior brother every day, but you also show off in front of your master?"
Uncle Jiu walked into the charity cemetery and said leisurely, "Come in, are you standing at the door and starving?"
Simu then realized that he had been fooled by a junior. His face turned red. He had thought himself to be an old hand, but now he had failed.
He was about to say something when Russell slapped him. Simu felt a chill in his hand and looked down. He saw that this was also the emerald green and transparent coffin fungus.
In an instant, all the grievances disappeared, and Simu patted his face with a feeling of unreality.
"Little nephew, why don't you hit my butt twice, otherwise I won't feel at ease if this coffin fungus is in my hand!"
Russell: …
…
Perhaps it was a gathering before the Mid-Autumn Festival, or perhaps it was because little Russell was about to go on a long trip, so Uncle Jiu cooked for once.
Very quickly! For example, everyone, even Xiao Hei and Er Hei turned away in disgust.
It’s not that Uncle Jiu’s cooking skills are bad, it’s mainly because he is afraid of comparison.
Russell brought his Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and slowly placed it on the table. Considering that Master Simu was from Guangdong, he specially adjusted the flavor.
As soon as it was served, the aroma that filled the air made everyone sniffle. Uncle Jiu said frankly that people’s hearts are not bitter!
"So, you went to Tengteng Town a few days ago? And you cleared out all the zombies there? And there was also a silver-armored zombie?"
Everyone was stunned. Uncle Jiu and Russell alone eliminated hundreds of zombies, including a silver-armored zombie. Do you think you are writing a supernatural novel
Then, he couldn't help but pounding his chest with both fists, "Why should I drive corpses? My beautiful female zombie!"
The more he thought about it, the sadder he became. If he had not been lazy on the road and had come here a few days earlier, that female zombie might have been his!
Simu couldn't help but sigh towards the sky. The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt. Just little by little, he now had a silver-armored corpse, and it was a female!
Looking at the funny Master Uncle Simu, Wencai and Qiu Sheng burst into laughter. Every time the Master Uncle came, it was the happiest time for them.
Even the usually serious Uncle Jiu couldn't help but laugh and shook his head at his funny junior brother!
Besides him and Shi Jian, the person the master liked the most back then was this junior brother Simu.
However, Uncle Jiu did not laugh happily. Instead, he moved his chopsticks silently and continued to struggle at the dining table.
By the time others reacted, the plate of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall had turned into a bowl of clear soup!
"Wow! Senior Brother, you are still as cunning as ever!" Simu screamed in surprise, picked up the chopsticks and started working hard.
If I don’t work harder, I guess I won’t even have the last bit of soup.
While eating, Simu couldn't help but look at Russell, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Russell looked at him curiously.
After a long while, he finally spoke, "Junior nephew, I heard that you will go to Sichuan after the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days?"
Russell nodded, and Li Chengyu finally made up his mind to send his son Li Tianyang to study at the great shaman in Liangshan, Sichuan.
There are thousands of Taoist sects in the world and many different school of practice. If the Li family spends a large sum of money, they can still become disciples of other sects.
But Li Chengyu knows one thing very well: having talent behind you is the kingly way!
Even if you join other sects, you might have to start as a handyman, and it would take a long time before you learn real skills.
Maybe you won’t learn any real skills and will have to stay alone for the rest of your life!
Although Liangshan is remote, Uncle Jiu's good friends, with Uncle Jiu's recommendation, will most likely become his disciples and learn real skills directly.
After analyzing the benefits, Li Chengyu, who came from a businessman family, directly chose the one with the greatest benefits.
Heading to Liangshan!
There is chaos and war outside now, and Sichuan is located in a remote area, so it is not a good place to go.
Simu's eyes were a little vague. After hesitating for a long time, he took out a piece of red silk from his arms and slowly placed it on the table.
Uncle Jiu showed a look of surprise on his face. Seeing Simian's hesitation, he couldn't help but laugh, "Junior brother, just give it to him. When has this little bastard ever been afraid of trouble?"
He was very proud, "Looking at the whole world, how many people can beat my apprentice?"
The corners of Russell's mouth slightly raised, and then he heard Uncle Jiu say, "He has a lot of bad intentions. From what I know about him, if we can't beat him, he might end up in someone's ancestral grave!"
Russell's face turned red, and he muttered with a lack of confidence, "Master, how can you slander someone's innocence?"
For him, if he can't win, he will run away, steal homes, steal graves, fight in groups, set traps, Russell can do all these things.
This is a one-on-one revenge trick. He never considers himself to be a decent person. Even though he obviously cannot win, he still has the ability to fight one-on-one or one against many.
Learn from the M78 Nebula Ultraman next door. If you can’t defeat them, borrow strength. If that doesn’t work, gang up on them. If the gang fight doesn’t work, call the elders. If the elders can’t defeat you, call the big boss!
Can’t beat the boss
Wait for death!
Simu thought about it and suddenly burst out laughing, "Ah, yes, I didn't expect that the situation would change and this time it's our turn to have a genius in Maoshan!"
He no longer hesitated and pushed the red satin in front of Russell with his hand.
Russell gently untied it, revealing a token with a strange pattern on it. The strange pattern looked like several skulls when you looked closely.
He raised his eyebrows, could this be the secret treasure sought after by a man who wanted to become the Pirate King
"This is the secret order of the Xiangxi Liu family!"
Simu slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with sadness as he recalled the past. "With this secret order, you can enter the Xiangxi Liu family and pass through nine levels. After passing through nine levels, you can obtain the Liu family's secret technique!"
"Those who pass through can directly become the deputy head of the Liu family, or they can leave directly. The secret technique will never be pursued."
Russell's eyes lit up and he touched the black token in his hand. The token in front of him was truly a treasure.
The Liu family in Xiangxi is one of the most powerful families of the Miao ethnic group. It has been passed down for hundreds of years and is located in Xiangxi, far away from wars. They have a lot of good things.
Moreover, the most famous tomb robbers, such as Mojin Xiaowei, Banshan and Xiangling, are all in western Hunan.
There are also witchcraft, zombie techniques, and a large number of medicinal herbs.
There are so many things here that it’s hard to count them all. Most importantly, I heard there are a lot of beautiful women there (???).
Russell decided not to trust it too much and had to see the original to be sure, because he had been fooled once last time.
If the giant pandas are people from Sichuan pretending to be human, then maybe the beauties from Miaojiang are all men pretending to be human.
We have to identify it when the time comes!
Just when Russell couldn't let it go, Uncle Jiu interrupted faintly, "If you don't have the Xiangxi secret order, you can become the deputy head of the Liu family after passing the sixth level."
Russell: …
With a snap, Russell accidentally slipped his hand and the iron order fell on the table. He looked at Master Simu with a fake smile, "Are you making fun of me?"
With the secret order, you need to pass nine levels.
There are no secret orders, you just need to clear six levels.
Damn it! Are you kidding me
Simu seemed to be recalling some bad memories. His face was inexplicably red. He pushed his glasses and said, "That was a very, very, very long story. I..."
Before he could finish his words, Uncle Jiu interrupted him with disdain, "Actually, he was just dumped by a woman."
"No way!"
Simu was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He was about to jump up, waving his hands wildly. "It's obviously because I don't have the ability to make it through and marry Gillian. How could it be that she doesn't want me!"
Russell: (￣▽￣)
Well, I have a friend who likes to listen to melodramatic stories. Please tell us more.
Simu noticed Russell's strange look and looked at Uncle Jiu with resentment. How could he reveal the dark history of his elders in front of the younger generation
Forget about the last time when I talked about how I was beaten up for stealing my master’s tiger penis wine.
This time he talked about the ridiculous thing that happened when he was young and was dumped by a woman.
It will happen once and for all, Simu made up his mind that if Uncle Jiu continued to talk nonsense.
He told the story about how Uncle Nine slipped while climbing over a wall to practice Qinggong and fell into his junior sister's hot spring! !
Simu gave Uncle Jiu a look, and Uncle Jiu immediately stopped talking. Russell was interested anyway.
"Uncle Master, tell me about it."
"Little kid, why do you need to know so much? Do you know what love is?"
Russell snorted, rolled his eyes, and deliberately stared at Simu, looking him up and down, which made Simu a little scared.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Russell shook his head in admiration, "Uncle Master, you're like this, and you actually have a first love?"
"well!"
That sigh made Simu unable to hold back, "Hehe, back then you said I was handsome, suave, elegant, young and talented."
He was so proud of himself, but Uncle Jiu suddenly stabbed him in the back, "It's mainly because you are thick-skinned and shameless!"
Si Mu choked up, looked at Uncle Jiu, then looked at Russell. He finally realized that the master and disciple were simply cast in the same mold!
He didn't hide it. If he continued like this, he would probably be pissed off to death by this master and disciple.
"Back then, I was also a handsome guy in Maoshan. I was good-looking, and most importantly, I was young and unrestrained!"
"At that time, I was ignorant of the world and had just started out. I always wanted to make a name for myself in this world and become famous for generations to come."
"Because I got the true teachings of Maoshan, I went everywhere doing justice and everything went smoothly. At that time, I was full of energy and met a woman from Miaojiang."
Simu's eyes were tightly closed, as if he was recalling something, and his tone was particularly gentle, "It was a woman named Wei. I don't know her full name, and I usually call her A Jiao."
"It was just a coincidence, maybe it was fate destined by God. At that time, I was full of vigor and vitality, and she was dark and cute."
"She is from the Miao tribe's Liu family's Gu Shu sect. Although she is not a direct descendant of the Liu family, she is also a direct disciple."
"If you want to marry her, you must pass the levels set by the Liu family. There are three levels in total!"
Simu showed a wry smile on his face, and his tone was particularly bitter, "There are only three levels, I know it's above the first level."
"The requirements are very simple. The first step is to break through to the seventh level of human master."
"The second level of cultivation has broken through to the ninth level of human master!"
"The third level of cultivation has reached Earth Master!"
"Only after she passes three tests will the Liu family allow her to marry out!"
Russell was silent. Cultivation is like sailing against the current. Even if you are a disciple of a big sect, you will only have smooth sailing in the early stages.
Not everyone is a genius. For example, Zhegu, Mamadi, Qianhe and others are also true disciples of Maoshan, but their cultivation level is still only the seventh level of human teacher.
Simu is a ninth-level earth master, Jiushu is a second-level earth master, Shi Jian is a third-level earth master, Jiushu’s master is a fifth-level earth master, and Chenghuang’s junior uncle is a seventh-level earth master.
“Although I knew it was difficult, I still went.”
Simu said lightly, "We lost a lot of face for Maoshan there."
The words were spoken lightly, but Russell could imagine the difficulties at that time. When Xiao Yan broke off the engagement, he could not withstand the humiliation from his family members.
Instead, I went to Miaojiang to pass the three checkpoints. I guess the entire Miao people were watching, gossiping, mocking...
Russell pinched the Liu family secret order in his hand and looked at Uncle Jiu. Uncle Jiu had a blank expression on his face, as if he was recalling some bad things in the past.
He once went to Miaojiang to help his junior fellow apprentice Simu.
Russell smiled. He gently rubbed the surface of the secret order with his fingers, touched the skull, and said with a smile:
"Uncle Master, don't worry. Maoshan will definitely get back the face it lost!"
Russell, a young Taoist from Maoshan, comes to pay homage!
People always want to part ways in peace. Although Simu didn't drink much, he was drowsy and unconscious.
Uncle Jiu patted Russell on the shoulder and said simply, "Don't be afraid to go to Xiangxi, there are people behind Maoshan."
Other Maoshan disciples did not dare to say this, but there was one exception!
That is Russell, who is the apple of everyone's eye. Even before he went out to travel, he had already attracted the attention of various bigwigs.
With Longhu Mountain on the left and Maoshan on the right, in heaven and on earth, Uncle Jiu really doesn’t know who else his little disciple Russell can be afraid of
Give him some time, and he will be a legend in the world, your trump card, and your biggest backer!
After saying that, Uncle Jiu sighed and silently walked into the room with his back to Simu.
There are some things that should be understood even without being said. Simu is already thirty-three years old this year, and a long time has passed since he was the young man full of vigor and vitality.
Originally, he buried this past event in his heart and was unwilling to look back, because Simu felt that he would never be able to become a geomancer in this lifetime.
Until today, when he saw the coffin fungus in Russell's hand, he finally couldn't help but tell him the past events in his heart.
Perhaps it’s because of the joy of having the hope of becoming a geomancer!
But so what? He is an uncle now and no longer the boy he was back then.
And I don’t know whether Gillian is still alive, whether she is married, and whether she still remembers him
Time will smooth out everything.
That night, Simu was very drunk. Russell looked at the moon for a long time. For the first time, he discovered that some things were actually very close to him.
He originally thought that he was heartless, so he didn't need to be constrained and could live without worries, but now thinking about it, it was really ridiculous.
Family ties are a force, but also a shackle that no one can escape.
Russell is no exception. He remembers all the kindness Simu has shown him. If he doesn't help in this matter, wouldn't that be a crime
Don’t look down on your nephew because he has no knowledge of you!
It's dawn, a new day has arrived. Simu seems to have been really drunk yesterday. The sadness of yesterday is gone, and he has returned to his usual playful and smiling face.
He would snatch food from Erhei from time to time, touching his round belly, and made Erhei so angry that he lay on the ground pretending to be dead and sulking.
Not long after, Master Simu took his clients away and hurried home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with his apprentices.
Mid-Autumn Festival is a great season, not just for family reunions and eating mooncakes.
Because every time this time comes, there are always some people holding ancient rituals!
Of course, it doesn’t have to be a human, for example a fox!
Have you ever heard of a white fox worshiping the moon
ps: The school is about to start and I have a lot of worries. I will just write 5,000 words today. I can only maintain normal updates in the next few days, and additional updates may have to be delayed.
I went to do the nucleic acid test today and got the nucleic acid test certificate. It will be better tomorrow. The day after that I have to take a long car ride. I am weak and cannot type in the car.
So I can only save the manuscript for tomorrow, and update normally in the next few days, 4,000 words a day.
Please forgive me!
Not the forgiveness hat, not the green thing.
