Uncle Jiu looked at the red-haired old monster in the corner of the yard and frowned, "Nightmare Technique!"
He circled the cage twice. The water monkey seemed to understand human nature. Seeing Uncle Jiu was like seeing a life-saving straw. It waved its arms and kowtowed several times.
His eyes were tearful and he looked aggrieved like a child.
Uncle Jiu was already a little angry. He looked at Russell beside him and pointed directly at the monkey in the cage and asked, "Where did this come from?"
Qiu Sheng, who was standing by, saw that Uncle Jiu looked unhappy and didn't dare to breathe.
Russell knew what Uncle Jiu was angry about, because this red-haired old monster was not a water monkey at all, but a human being, who had been turned into this by someone using Taoist magic.
Commonly known as evil and crooked ways.
"When I was walking down the street today, I saw someone selling water monkeys. Something seemed off to me, so I bought it."
"I saw that man was surrounded by black energy and seemed to know some Taoist magic. This thing was made by him."
Uncle Jiu raised his eyebrows, touched the ground with his toes, jumped up, and took down the golden sword hanging at the door.
This Golden Money Sword is Uncle Jiu's real magic weapon. It is made of copper coins and red threads on the eighth day of the lunar calendar or the Sanyuan Day every year.
After the copper coins are woven, incense is offered during the day and the essence of moonlight is collected at night. It is not easy to refine a finished product.
It is usually hung on the door to ward off evil spirits. When encountering big monsters or evil spirits, you can take the sword to subdue the monsters and be successful.
But today, the purpose of taking the Money Sword is not to slay demons, but to kill people!
If nothing else, the peach wood sword cannot kill people.
Uncle Jiu waved the Golden Money Sword in his hand and asked coldly, "Where did that evil person go?"
"Master, this is all thanks to Junior Brother." Qiu Sheng interrupted, "He used the Nine Heavens Mysterious Purity Talisman to directly beat the evil man to death!"
Uncle Jiu’s eyes widened. How come there was the Nine Heavens Mysterious Purity Talisman? Was there any other talisman in Maoshan that he didn’t know about
It's all nonsense and gibberish.
Russell chuckled and raised the hair in his hand, "Master, I don't have the Nine Heavens Mysterious Purity Talisman, but your life-saving hair is amazing. I don't know which god it is from, but it's true that with just one hair, demons retreat and all evils are immune."
"cough!"
Uncle Jiu coughed, looking somewhat smug. He seemed a little angry, "Stop talking nonsense. How can your master be considered a god?"
Uncle Jiu took that hair from his own body, imbued it with magical power and divine thoughts, and made it into a talisman for his little disciple.
Why not use paper talismans
Alas, it’s all tears if I say too much. In the huge charity cemetery, all the paper talismans were used by my little apprentice Russell to fold paper figures, filling his arms.
According to him, the world outside is too dangerous, and the probability of encountering danger when going out is as high as 10%. Rounding it off, it means that you will definitely encounter danger when going out.
You must carry some paper figures with you in case of emergency.
Uncle Jiu can only use hair as a substitute. Why not use wood blocks? Wood blocks consume too much magic power. Anyway, he doesn’t travel far very often and often stays in the charity cemetery, so hair will be enough.
Originally he thought this action was unnecessary, but he never expected that it would come in handy today. Doesn't this show that Uncle Jiu is very smart
Although this was an accident, the two disciples didn't know it.
Ha ha!
He was feeling proud for a while before he realized something was wrong. His hair was only infused with some magical power, which was enough to get rid of some minor monsters, but it was still not enough to deal with those evil Taoists who could write magic.
"How did you get rid of that evil man?"
"It's all thanks to you, Master!" Russell blinked his eyes. "I used my magic power, and the Black and White Impermanence from the underworld came over and directly lured the yellow-skinned man away. Our Maoshan is really honored."
Black and White Impermanence
Uncle Jiu suddenly felt a little painful. It was not because of Maoshan's honor, but because of his usual filial piety.
Although I run a bank, I can't do things randomly.
After taking a look at Russell, Uncle Jiu sighed and said, "Just help, as long as the little disciple is okay. When the Ghost Festival comes, just offer more paper money."
He put away the Golden Money Sword in his hand and looked at Qiu Sheng who was standing beside him. "Go and prepare some blood!"
"ah?"
Qiu Sheng was a little stunned, and Russell couldn't help but remind him, "Black dog blood."
Black dog blood can ward off evil spirits and break spells.
Qiu Sheng suddenly realized what was going on and ran out in a hurry.
Uncle Jiu looked at the naive Qiu Sheng and was not too disappointed. As the saying goes, disappointment comes from having too high expectations. If you have high expectations and cannot meet them, you will naturally be disappointed.
He no longer had high expectations for Qiu Sheng. He just wanted him to be a rich man, marry a wife who could manage the household, have a few fat boys, and be reborn into a good family in the next life.
It will take some time to get the black dog blood.
Uncle Jiu took Russell's hand and came to the iron cage, his face extremely serious, "Russell, you are very talented, and your cultivation of Taoism will improve by leaps and bounds, but you must remember one thing."
Russell raised his head and listened attentively.
"Remember not to use Taoism to harm others. Practicing Taoism is to cultivate the mind and spirit, not for wealth, fame, or profit. Do you understand?"
Russell nodded.
Uncle Jiu sighed, "You are still young, but you will understand in the future that although there are few good people in the world, there must be good people. If you can't be a good person, you can never become a bad person."
He looked at Russell's childish little face again, and couldn't help but feel worried again, as if he were a parent.
"You are naturally intelligent, so I am not worried about you practicing Taoism as my teacher, but the world is dangerous, so you must be careful when you travel in the world!"
"Many evil people in the Jianghu practice unorthodox methods, which are extremely sinister and vicious, harming others for their own benefit, just like this nightmare technique!"
Uncle Jiu's eyes became a little sharp when he mentioned this. "In ancient times, there were Taoists who used this technique to turn people into monkeys and dogs, playing with them on the streets, and then luring them into turning into pigs and sheep and selling them as livestock."
They are sold as animals. Those who are lucky can survive by transporting goods and pulling millstones. Those who are unlucky will be cut into pieces and thrown into the oil pan.
Although his magic power could not be maintained for long, he had already died.
Uncle Jiu didn't mention the second half of his sentence, but Russell knew in his heart that human hearts were like evil spirits and as dark as the abyss.
In this era, human life is not as valuable as cattle and sheep. How many people can break or recognize the evil magic that is used to deceive people
The art of nightmare and the art of blinding the conscience not only refer to the techniques used by evil spirits, but also refer to the begging techniques of the Beggars' Gang.
Although the Beggars' Sect have no magical powers, their minds are dark, and they have the skills of human-faced snakes and wandering dogs.
Stray dog: A dog skin is peeled off and put on the body of a child. It stays there for a long time. The skin is hidden inside the child's body and the flesh grows on it. The child walks on all fours, just like a dog. It plays on the street and is called a stray dog.
Human-faced snake: The limbs are cut off and sealed inside a dry snake skin. The tibia is wrapped around and moved, leaving only the human face outside. It is called a human-faced snake.
The world is dangerous.
Uncle Jiu patted Russell's little head and said, "When I have solved this matter, I will teach you how to judge people."
