The town of Gantian is very strange these days.
It was so strange that Uncle Jiu didn't even need to ask, he knew that the Blood Demon would definitely be born soon and a terrible catastrophe was about to sweep over.
He walked straight on the street, staring at everyone with a serious expression. Those people smiled and walked carefully, afraid of bumping into others.
He spoke very gently and in a very respectful tone, as if he was talking to his own elder.
Even if they saw each other from three meters away, they would take a quick step and bow to salute, and they moved quickly for fear of being too late.
Bowing is a salute from the younger generation to the elders, and that means the direct elders, but looking at the people on the street, whether they know each other or not, they all bow as soon as they come up to them.
Uncle Jiu was completely numb. In just a distance of a hundred meters, he was bowed to by more than sixty people, which made him feel embarrassed.
When he bought some pork, the butcher not only didn't charge him money, he also praised Uncle Jiu enthusiastically and even gave him a big pork leg to apologize for getting aphrodisiac pills from Uncle Jiu every year.
That thing really has no other use except for being able to stay erect for a few hours and beating your wife until she screams.
It really hurts the relationship between husband and wife and is really wrong.
The butcher felt extremely guilty for his previous mistakes.
But this made Uncle Jiu even more frightened, and he hurried back home, not even daring to go out of the door.
Gantian Town is going crazy now!
He had just sat down to catch his breath and drink some tea to calm the shock in his heart when Ah Chu ran in in a hurry. When he saw Uncle Jiu, he immediately looked flustered, and it was obvious that something had happened.
"Achu!"
Uncle Jiu scolded, his face extremely dignified, "Tell me the truth, what did you do?"
Ah Chu was at a loss for words, and Ah Hai happened to come back from outside and told him the truth.
"Master, Ah Chu has joined the Divine Religion. He doesn't want to learn Taoism from you anymore!"
"What?"
Uncle Jiu looked at Achu in disbelief. This disciple whom he had raised since childhood and who had practiced Taoism for ten years, joined another sect so easily
Why
He stood up in a flash, and Ah Chu was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, not daring to look Uncle Jiu in the eye.
"What is the Religion of God?"
"It's a cult that has recently appeared in this town. It seems to have been founded by Wangcai. It seems like there are gods standing behind him, who have given him a right hand that can absorb any evil thoughts and turn people into good people!"
Ah Hai added, "I heard that if you join the cult now, everyone will give money, so everyone will become rich."
There was a little envy in his eyes. Although Uncle Jiu was much more generous to his disciples now, after all, the two of them had not yet started a family and had Uncle Jiu in charge, so they were naturally more restricted in spending money.
At least you can't be a playboy.
At least you can't arrange flowers or play with jade.
At least you can't try the excitement of smoking opium.
Uncle Jiu's expression became particularly ugly. He stared at Achu intently, and his hands holding the back of the chair were shaking a little.
Ah Hai couldn't help but stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Master, are you okay..."
He was suddenly speechless. Although he knew that what he said was nonsense, he couldn't say any words of comfort.
Ah Chu knelt down with a thud, already sobbing, "Master, please let me go!"
"I am already this old, but I am not as diligent as Ah Hai in cultivating the Dao, not as talented as Junior Sister Lei Xiu, and not as filial as Senior Brother Luo Su. It is enough for them to inherit your legacy."
"I don't want to accept my fate. I want to go out and try my luck. I want to make a name for myself. In the Divine Religion, everyone helps each other and everyone is very friendly. With their help, I will definitely be able to make a career!"
"master!"
Uncle Jiu closed his eyes tightly, and looked much more lonely. "Go ahead. You can go anywhere. You can venture into the outside world. But the only thing you can't do is let God join you."
"Everyone in this world has both good and evil sides, just like yin and yang have two poles. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If you lose either side, you are not a complete person."
"Your senior brother Russell told me that a demon has come to Gantian Town and specializes in absorbing other people's evil thoughts in order to escape the seal!"
"You are absolutely not allowed to enter the Divine Religion. Go, go out and explore the outside world. Go and take a look at the outside world."
Uncle Jiu stood up, looked deeply at Ah Chu who was kneeling on the ground, then walked over, took out two boxes from the incense table, and placed them on the stone table.
"One is yours, Ah Chu, and the other is yours, Ah Hai."
Ah Hai was shocked, "Master, I don't want to leave!"
"Take it. You are still young. Master, I was wrong. You should go out into the world and try your luck."
Uncle Jiu suddenly laughed, "I originally thought I was very smart and could accept foreign things quickly, but I didn't expect that I was still stupid."
The hearts of young people cannot be restrained by a small town.
He put the box on the table, looked at the two of them again, then turned around and went into the house, standing there, "Don't forget that you are people with backgrounds. As long as your master is still alive, you two are my disciples!"
"master!"
Uncle Jiu ignored him, stepped into the door, and locked it behind him. His figure looked a little desolate and old.
He slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled out a stack of photos from under the sheets. The person in the photos was Wencai Qiu Sheng.
Now there are Ahai and Achu.
"My son has grown up and doesn't want to stay with me anymore..."
A tear flowed down his cheeks, and Uncle Jiu quickly wiped it away with his hands. He couldn't help but laugh at himself, "I'm already half buried in the ground..."
But before he could finish his words, his nose suddenly became blocked and he could no longer stop his tears from flowing. He felt uncomfortable all over and buried his head in the quilt, crying quietly, trying desperately to breathe through his mouth. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
Let’s go!
Let’s go…
…
Russell, who had returned, also noticed the weirdness in Gantian Town. He was walking on the street quietly with a long knife on his back.
Looking at those people with particularly strange behaviors, I felt a little surprised. With so many people having their evil thoughts sucked away, it seemed that the time for the Blood Demon to be born was not far away.
He walked straight to the City God Temple, but found it closed. He pulled a passerby over, and the passerby didn't get angry. Instead, he asked kindly, "Young man, what's the matter?"
“Why is the City God Temple closed?”
"Well, it's like this. Master Mao was sick and he didn't open the shop the day before yesterday. We went to visit him with some food but he wouldn't let us in."
The man sighed with emotion, "There are not many good people like Master Mao. He is really a good person and a great hero of the entire Gantian Town."
There are a lot of comments at the end, all praising Uncle Jiu.
Russell did not continue listening, but jumped into the City God Temple in a quick step. As soon as he entered the temple, he saw Uncle Jiu sitting blankly in the yard, quietly looking at the side room. He looked like a lonely old man without any energy.
And that room was where Ahai and Achu lived.
Really
Russell thought of something, and with a quick glance he found that the room was empty and there was nothing inside.
He sighed softly. He originally thought that despite all his efforts, Ah Chu would not leave.
The result was unexpectedly more serious.
This time, not only Achu left, but Ahai left as well. Was it because of the pressure I brought
The two disciples who had been raised by Uncle Jiu for ten years left and betrayed their faith just like that. This was undoubtedly a huge blow.
It's like seeing a loved one die before you. Only those who have lost a loved one can understand this feeling, a sense of inexplicable sadness.
Russell walked forward gently and put his hand on Uncle Jiu's shoulder, "Master, the blood demon is born!"
The next moment, Uncle Jiu straightened his back immediately, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, but his voice was still a little hoarse.
"Walk!"
"Let's go get him!"
