The old Taoist's eyes lit up, what a clever kid! "Little guy, go tell your master that the old Taoist priest from Mount Longhu is here!"
Longhu Mountain
Russell tilted his head, feeling that the name was familiar.
"Haha, it's you!" Uncle Jiu walked out with a smile. He was wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe, looking particularly heroic.
"I was wondering why the magpie was calling so early in the morning. Sure enough, a distinguished guest is coming to visit us!"
Russell looked puzzled and looked up at the yard. Ever since he shot birds and roasted them every day, no birds dared to come here for a long time.
Are there any magpies
"Master Lin, how are you? I..." The old Taoist stroked his beard with a smile, "I came to your house specially to have a meal during the Dragon Boat Festival today."
"Ha ha!"
Uncle Jiu couldn't help but frown. As the ancients said, practicing Taoism requires four things: wealth, Dharma, companions and land. There are very few Taoists like them who can get along well with ordinary people.
After all, they are people from two different worlds. On the contrary, the Taoists get along quite well with each other, especially the old Taoist in front of him, who can be regarded as Uncle Jiu's Taoist companion.
Although he was happy in his heart, Uncle Jiu was still adamant, "You haven't come down the mountain for a long time, why did you come to my place to eat? I think you are here to show off your precious disciple!"
Uncle Jiu looked as if he saw through the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest smiled but said nothing. Although the two of them could be considered good friends, they both liked to make fun of each other whenever they met.
Uncle Jiu always ends up at a disadvantage, because his two apprentices are so useless!
The old Taoist moved his body slightly, revealing the Taoist boy behind him to Uncle Jiu. Uncle Jiu took a closer look and found that the little Taoist boy behind the old Taoist looked a little unfamiliar.
It doesn't seem to be the same one as last time.
He looked puzzled, and then looked at it carefully again. He couldn't help but gasp, and his face was full of envy.
This old Taoist priest is really lucky!
The previous one was so talented, but this one is even more outstanding!
Uncle Jiu couldn't help but feel sad. Why couldn't he meet such a good apprentice? He looked at Russell standing beside him, and the sadness in his heart disappeared immediately.
He forgot that he not only had two crappy apprentices, Qiu Sheng and Wencai, but also a precious apprentice!
"The little boy Zhang Huaiyi pays homage to Uncle Jiu!" The little Taoist boy bowed respectfully to Uncle Jiu, who raised his hand and helped him up.
The old Taoist priest stood aside, coughed lightly twice, and did not look directly at Uncle Jiu. He looked around and finally stopped at Russell.
Uncle Jiu suddenly realized that this person had brought his apprentice to ask for a gift. He fumbled in his arms, took out a paper horse, and stuffed it into the little Taoist boy's hand.
The little Taoist boy took it with curiosity. It was the first time he had seen such a thing. From an elder like Uncle Jiu, it must be no ordinary paper horse.
He gently mobilized his magic power, and the paper towel immediately became larger. The little Taoist boy's face turned red, and the paper horse was only three palms long, so it was impossible to ride it.
But he was also very happy, a man's happiness is that simple.
The old Taoist's eyes were dazzled. The little Taoist boy couldn't see it, but he could see that this paper horse was not an ordinary, simple one. The paper horses used to make ordinary paper people were stiff and would be useless after one use.
But he saw that the paper horse was very agile and the talisman paper was extremely precious, so he was afraid that it could travel a thousand miles a day!
“It’s a bit expensive.”
The gifts that elders give to younger generations are usually small things, but giving a paper horse is really precious.
The little Taoist boy looked nervous and tightly grasped the paper horse in his hand, fearing that his master would ask him to hand it over.
"Leave these little things to the child. I think he likes them very much."
Although Uncle Jiu said he was relieved, his heart was bleeding. This was a top-quality paper horse, folded by Russell using the finest talisman paper.
A top-grade talisman paper can even be used to draw a heavenly thunder talisman, but he usually doesn't want to use it.
Uncle Jiu stepped back and said, "Come in, we haven't seen each other for a few years, let's have a good chat."
The old Taoist nodded, glanced at Russell imperceptibly, and then walked straight into the charity cemetery.
The little Taoist boy was filled with joy holding the little paper horse. Suddenly, he saw Russell standing on the turtle shell and floating in the air, and his eyes lit up.
"Brother, can you take me flying?"
He blinked. Maybe because he started practicing Taoism too early, he was not used to being a Taoist priest yet. He still had a playful heart and was used to calling people brother.
Russell felt a sense of pride in his heart. It was the first time that someone called him brother. Although the little Taoist boy in front of him looked older than him, he did not expose him.
He wants to be someone's brother, just like a man wants to be someone's father, it comes from the heart.
Russell smiled slightly, "Let's go! Brother will take you to have fun."
Poor kid, you probably play with urine and mud every day. Let me save you!
Have you ever heard of a three-way game
Fight the Landlord!
In the hall, Uncle Jiu and the old Taoist sat at the table. Wencai hurriedly served tea and water. The old Taoist just glanced at him and turned his head away.
Five years have passed, and my cultivation has not improved at all.
He took a sip of tea and turned his attention to Russell who was playing with the little Taoist boy.
"My little apprentice, Russell, was too young before, so you didn't meet him."
The last time the old Taoist came, he did not stay at the charity cemetery. It seemed that he had something urgent to do. The two exchanged a few words and then parted ways.
Uncle Jiu mentioned it subtly, "He is just a little less worried and works harder than his two senior brothers. After three months of cultivation, he has barely reached the seventh level of the human master. Alas, he still lacks talent!"
The corners of the old Taoist's mouth twitched a little. He was so young but already reached the seventh level of the Taoist master level, and he had only practiced Taoism for three months. Could this be called lack of talent
This is blatant showing off!
You should know that the old Taoist's two talented disciples are only at the seventh level and the second level respectively.
But the older one has been practicing for nearly two years, and the younger one has been practicing for almost three months.
Russell is not talented, but his two apprentices who think they are talented are not stupid!
So annoying!
The old Taoist curled his lips. He didn't expect Uncle Jiu to be so narrow-minded. Five years ago, he showed off his apprentice, but he didn't expect that Uncle Jiu would always remember it.
The key is that he actually found a better apprentice.
“Great, great!”
The old Taoist looked at Russell in the yard, a golden light flashed in his eyes, "If he were in Longhu Mountain, I guarantee that he would be the next Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain!"
Although Russell's talent is not the best, he has a simple look, is carefree, and has a heart for Taoism. He is definitely a good candidate for Taoism!
The old Taoist was immediately tempted, but since this was his good friend's apprentice, he couldn't rob him openly, so he could only hint at him secretly.
Although Uncle Jiu is from Maoshan, he is only a true disciple. Now he has set up his own business outside, so naturally he does not have many resources to enjoy.
Once Russell joins Longhu Mountain, the old Taoist will, without hesitation, use all the resources of Longhu Mountain to train Russell.
There is someone underground in Maoshan!
There is someone in the sky at Longhu Mountain!
"My great-grandmaster has told me that if Russell can enter Shangqing Cave in three years, he will take care of him."
The old Taoist was shocked and stopped talking. Since he had caught the attention of the founder of Maoshan, he naturally had a bright future.
With Russell's talent, it would be easy for him to break through Wai Mao and become the headmaster of Wai Mao in three years.
Neimao is the real paradise, and several gods have been born there!
The old Taoist suddenly thought of something, "Little Russell, have you thought of a Taoist name?"
"Not really." Uncle Jiu hesitated. It was a master's duty to give his apprentice a name. Russell was young, and he hadn't thought it through at the moment, so he was delayed.
"I have a good name." The old Taoist stroked his white beard. "I think he has a kind heart and is carefree. How about calling him Wu Gensheng?"
"No roots?"
Uncle Jiu thought of Russell's fate, which was as drifting as duckweed. Even his uncle master from Maoshan said frankly that he couldn't see clearly. It really proved Wu Gensheng's words.
Born without roots, free from worries, one can spread one's wings and fly high like a roc, soaring above the nine heavens.
"Let's just call him Wu Gensheng!"
