Chapter 5 The Situation of the World

Gao Cheng did not have any worries with Wencai, and Qiu Sheng and the others were too concerned, which immediately made Lin Jiu feel grateful.

After all, it is too taboo to peek at others' practice. Even if Gao Cheng turned against him on the spot and wanted to deal with his two apprentices, Lin Jiu had nothing to say. Now Gao Cheng said that he would not blame him for his past, and Lin Jiu really appreciated it.

Lin Jiu drove two dejected disciples outside, and then sighed: "I am a joke for seniors. My two disciples are reckless in their work and are not very clear about the various taboos in the world of cultivation. I hope they can learn a lesson and make some changes this time!"

Gao Cheng smiled and thoughts flashed in his mind. What he said is that the disciple is better than the master. Lin Jiu, the master, knows his two disciples very well. These two guys are really naughty and have no sense of crisis in his heart. Even if they encounter powerful zombies, they still look like they are fighting and joking.

In other words, their master is Lin Jiu. Only with the protection of this master of Shangqing Sect can he be safe and sound, otherwise the grass on the tomb would be three feet high. If Gao Cheng had such an apprentice, they would directly let them die outside to avoid being upset.

"Lingtu is not old yet. As long as fellow Taoists teach some experience, Jiangnan will become the mainstay of Shangqing Sect." Gao Cheng praised him indifferently.

The two chatted for a few words, and then Lin Jiu asked Gao Cheng for some questions about the difficulties encountered in his practice.

"By the way, I have been practicing in seclusion for three hundred years and don't know much about the current situation in the world. Can fellow Taoists explain to me the current situation?" Gao Cheng asked.

The power level of this world is not far from that of the Three Kingdoms world. Although Lin Jiu's strength is not weak, he is not yet considered a strong man in this world and is not representative.

Knowing oneself and enemy will never be defeated. The information Gao Cheng knows is just a little bit of a claw for this world. Only by understanding the situation in this world can he come up with a way to reap the power of destiny.

Faced with Gao Cheng's question, Lin Jiu did not refuse. He first sighed, "Senior has been in seclusion for three hundred years, and it has been a bit long! Three hundred years ago, it was the Ming Dynasty!"

Then he organized some language and continued: "The biggest thing in these three hundred years is two things, namely the two dynasties, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and from the Qing Dynasty to the present chaotic times..."

According to Lin Jiu, it is now the Republic of China period, and the world has become an era of guns and cannons. The world's powers rely on their strong ships and cannons to fight everywhere, and the territory of China is also divided into military forces and conquering each other. There is no stable place in the whole world.

Fortunately, Lin Jiu lived in a small town under the jurisdiction of Guangcheng in the south. It was far away from the Central Plains where wars were frequent. In addition to some heavy taxes, the people could still survive here.

The situations he mentioned were similar to what Gao Cheng knew. Lin Jiu briefly introduced these backgrounds and then passed them over. After all, he was just a Feng Shui master, not a historian. Lin Jiu focused on the current situation in the cultivation world.

Since the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty, it has been very taboo to practitioners and often recruited evil sects to besiege the righteous cultivators, which eventually led to the decline of the righteous path, a large number of masters were killed, and countless martial arts were burned down. Now few masters appeared in the world. A master who reached the innate realm is considered a master.

"I can't believe that the world has become like this!" Gao Cheng sighed when he heard this.

Lin Jiu sighed and said, "Yes, I once heard from the masters that our Central Plains have withered, but Western countries have not suffered any losses. Those Western zombies, blood-sucking bat monsters, and some priests who believe in Christ have followed the army to attack the capital in the past few years."

"It is said that many martial arts masters went to block the attack at that time, and there were heavy casualties! Unfortunately, I hadn't started the army at that time, otherwise I would have gone to the capital and met those Western ghosts for a while!"

Lin Jiu kept sighing that China had lacked masters. A few years ago, a large number of martial arts masters died. Those who were lucky enough to die were extremely disappointed with the so-called Qing Dynasty and retreated one by one to the world and stayed in seclusion.

After Gao Cheng learned about the situation in this world, he felt a little happy. "No, no, there are many Western monsters and ghosts. They are strong. If they kill them, they will definitely be able to harvest a large number of fate points!"

If Gao Cheng was killed for no reason in order to harvest the destiny point, he would not be guilty of killing innocent Chinese cultivators, and Gao Cheng would not feel guilty if he killed them all.

After understanding the general situation, Gao Cheng did not ask anything else, but exchanged his experience in practicing with Lin Jiu. Lin Jiu's strength and realm were not very good, but he was very proficient in the talisman, thunder, and Feng Shui magic of the Maoshan School of Shangqing. Especially the way of Feng Shui, he can be called a master of his generation.

Gao Cheng communicated with him, which increased his knowledge. Of course, what he valued most was the Maoshan School's talisman method. He sealed magic onto the talisman paper through magical techniques. If he accumulated hundreds of talismans, when he encountered danger, he would release them all in an instant, and he could even kill the enemy beyond the level.

Practicing the talisman to a high level can even seal magical powers into the talisman.

"Isn't the talisman containing magical powers similar to the inherited artifacts in the Three Kingdoms world? However, compared with the inherited artifacts, talismans are disposable consumables and require a lot of materials!" Gao Cheng thought in his mind.

However, the method of making talismans belongs to the core of Shangqing Sect, which Gao Cheng cannot obtain in a short period of time. Even if the fellow Taoists only communicate with each other, there is no saying that the core skills of the master's sect can be exchanged.

After a stick of incense, the two were talking about some Feng Shui knowledge. Wencai suddenly appeared at the gate of the yard and shouted: "Master, the time is about the same, it's time for us to set off!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiu said to Gao Cheng: "Senior, Master Ren from the town invited me to have Western tea today. Why not go and see me with me?"

Gao Cheng showed a smile on his face. This so-called Western tea is coffee! He smiled and said, "Since fellow Taoists invite me, I will go to the town to see what the world will look like in three hundred years."

...

The town is not far from the Yizhuang Village. Gao Cheng, Lin Jiu and his two apprentices soon arrived at the place. There are only two streets in this town. There are many pedestrians on the street, each of which is covered with short coats of coarse cloth and short hair. Some rich people are wearing Tang suits, with pocket watches and monocle glasses around their necks.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, including money shops, pawn shops, cloth shops, and a more luxurious cafe. This cafe is the property of the richest Ren family in the town. Usually, there are many rich people who want to see Western tea and Western pastries to come to be artistic.

"Senior, we're here!"

The three of Lin Jiu and his disciples came to the front of the cafe, and Gao Cheng followed behind the three of them. After they entered, a waiter in a suit came forward and said respectfully: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Ren has already booked a seat. Please follow me!"

Lin Jiu twisted his head a little uncomfortable, coughed, and said, "Okay, lead the way!"
