"Why should you and I be so polite? In the future, as long as we stick to our true intentions, do more good deeds, and accumulate merit, we will be happy enough."
Uncle Jiu didn't give too many instructions. He was quite relieved about the junior brother in front of him.
If it were literary talents and Qiu Sheng, he would not only give instructions, but also watch them every day.
Jingzhou's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, are merits beneficial to practice? I often hear people say that we need to accumulate negative virtues, but I don't know what the difference is between negative virtues and merits?"
Jingzhou knew that Uncle Jiu himself was the money printing chief of the underworld. In this jurisdiction, the issuance of paper money was all handled by Uncle Jiu. One of the reasons why Uncle Jiu was so advanced was that, in addition to his high qualifications, he was afraid that he would not be able to compete with the chief clerk of the underworld bank.
There are also many contacts.
Uncle Jiu glanced at Jingzhou approvingly and said with a smile: "Merits are directed towards the Tao. Only when a person does something that is beneficial to heaven and earth can it be considered merit. Merit is difficult to accumulate, and there are many wonderful uses. This is only beneficial to practice.
One of these points, even senior fellow apprentices can’t explain all its wonderful uses.”
"Building bridges and repairing roads, doing good deeds and not seeking immediate rewards are Yin virtues, so a house that accumulates good deeds will always be blessed. Yin virtues are hidden and have long-term effects. They can bless future generations and accumulate good fortune in the next life. In addition to Yin virtues, there are also Yang virtues.
Yin virtues can be accumulated over a long period of time, but Yang virtues have immediate effects. In this world, you will be blessed by God, your fortune and wealth will always be with you, you will seek good luck and avoid bad luck, and you will be respected by others."
Jingzhou nodded, thoughtfully.
"So we cultivators should go up to heaven and practice virtue, so that even if it is difficult to achieve anything in this life, we can rely on the accumulated merits to find a job down there." It seemed that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and it seemed that suddenly something happened.
Thinking of something, Uncle Jiu changed the topic and raised his eyebrows: "Junior brother, I wonder if you have ever drank foreign tea?"
"Foreign tea?"
Jing Zhou felt funny in his heart, knowing that Ren Fa was about to move the coffin.
Although Uncle Jiu's Taoist skills are second to none and unmatched, his acting skills are really beyond praise. Although he tried his best to hide it, the joy on his face was self-evident.
As the strongest village leader in Novice Village, Uncle Jiu's acting skills are probably better than those of someone who can only read one, two, three, four, five lines.
With a happy look on his face, those who didn't know thought that he was a dead tree and an old tree was sprouting.
Jingzhou suppressed a smile and said, "I have drunk foreign tea a few times. I wonder why senior brother asked this suddenly? Could it be that you want to drink foreign tea?"
Uncle Jiu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his cigarette bag, took a puff of cigarette, and returned to his Taoist master's appearance. Feng Qingyun said calmly: "This is not Master Ren from the town asking me for something. The morning after tomorrow,
He said he would treat me to foreign tea."
"Junior brother, if you haven't drank it before, I plan to take him to try it. Since he has already drank it, well", before Uncle Jiu said anything, Jingzhou smiled and said: "Then it doesn't matter if you drink it again, after all, it is my brother's heart~
"
Uncle Jiu nodded, "That's fine. Anyway, Master Ren is treating me to a treat. I'll drink again after drinking. When my junior brother lives in the town, he will inevitably have to deal with the people in the town. The Ren family has been prosperous for many years and has a lot of influence in this town."
, Junior Brother, it’s just a good time to get to know Mr. Ren.”
Knowing that Uncle Jiu was the one who had the most respect, Jingzhou added: "Senior brother is very skilled in Taoism, but Master Ren is a sensible person. If something happens, he should go to him, not the charlatan."
"No, no, it's just that Mr. Ren is closer to Yizhuang." Sure enough, when Uncle Jiu heard the compliment, although he was polite, his eyebrows raised three points higher.
"Junior brother, please don't forget me," Uncle Jiu hummed a tune and left with his hands behind his back.
For two days in a row, Jingzhou devoted himself to reading the three booklets given by Uncle Jiu.
Jing Zhou is not too concerned about the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing", after all, he has no shortage of skills.
On the contrary, the nameless booklet and the "Encyclopedia of Talismans" fascinated him.
The nameless list records not only the formations, Uncle Jiu's own cultivation experience, but also many secrets, whether they are ghosts, demons or zombies, all are introduced in detail.
What surprised Jingzhou was that the nameless book also contained detailed records of the underworld's power group.
In the underworld team, the most familiar King Yama is just a middle-level cadre.
Under the Ten Palaces of Hell, there are six Gong Cao Cao, Samsara, Judge, and Yin Cao Cao, and above them there are five ghost emperors.
As for the black and white impermanence and the bull-headed and horse-faced people who often come to the human world as guests, they are among the top ten sinister and handsome ghosts in the underworld. They are considered to be the basic level of the underworld's power team and are subordinate to the soul arresters under the judge.
Jing Zhou watched with great interest. Uncle Jiu was indeed an insider of the underworld system, and he knew more than ordinary people.
However, after searching for a long time, he could not see which department of the Underworld the Underground Bank's chief executive belonged to.
As for the Maoshan Talisman, it consists of two parts: "talisman" and "瓓". It is not a simple yellow talisman.
"Fu" refers to runes, and "瓓" records the names of the gods in the heavens. It is held by the gods, so a thin yellow talisman can ward off evil spirits and suppress ghosts.
Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng came here twice during this period. Apart from them, the food at Shishu's place is much better than that at Yizhuang.
If it weren't for a fox that was more aggressive towards the two of them, Qiu Sheng would have probably visited more than twice.
The third day
Just as Jingzhou had finished his breakfast, Wencai ran in hurriedly.
"Uncle Master~"
Jingzhou nodded, "Wencai, you look happy?"
Wencai said coyly: "Uncle, you have seen this."
Jingzhou just took a sip of tea, and then spurted it out again.
Damn it, on your watermelon-headed face, you have your mouth open to both sides, a row of big teeth exposed, and you just need to use a brush to write a few words on your face: "I am happy."
As long as you are not blind, no one can see this!
"Ahem"
Jingzhou trembled slightly and coughed a few times.
"Son~"
Ah Jiu glared at Wen Cai, then hurriedly stepped forward, put one hand on Jing Zhou's back and patted him gently.
Ever since Ah Jiu refined a real person elixir, the number of people he transformed into human form has obviously increased a lot. During the past two days, when there were no outsiders at home, he often kept his human body, especially when Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng came to eat.
Jing Zhou thought it might be easier to teach Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng a lesson by transforming into a human body.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, a fox can only show its teeth and show its ferocity, but a human body can punch to the flesh.
"Miss Ajiu, why are you staring at me? This has nothing to do with me~" Wencai looked innocent, then clapped his hands and said: "It must have been last night, uncle, you drank again!"
"Haha, Wencai, when did you become so smart?" Jingzhou coughed for a few times before his breathing became smoother.
"Really? Uncle Master, do you think so too? I feel like I've become a lot smarter recently." Wencai chuckled, then opened his mouth and grinned.
Jingzhou shook his head and sighed softly. This guy, Wencai, didn't know who he saved in his previous life, so he could be under the disciples of Uncle Jiu in this life. This kind of qualification is really not something that can be complimented. There are very few people in the world like him.
Even though he was sold, he happily helped count the money!
Fortunately, this boy is honest and loyal, which is a rare advantage.
Jing Zhou waved his hand, signaling Ah Jiu not to worry, and said to Wen Cai: "Wen Cai, what do you want from coming to my place so early?"
Wencai clapped his hands violently, his smiling face immediately burst into tears, and he hurriedly stepped forward to pull Jingzhou on, "Uncle, hurry up, hurry up, it will be too late in a while, the master said he would take us to have tea with a foreigner!"
"Why are you so anxious? This foreign tea can't fly there."
Jingzhou slapped Wencai's hand away and stood up slowly.
Wencai looked up at the sun and shook his head repeatedly, "Uncle, you are lying again. If we go late, what else will we drink after the master finishes drinking?"
"I have never drunk foreign tea in my whole life. Master, please hurry up!"
Wen Cai became more and more anxious. Jing Zhou shook his head, told Ah Jiu to look after the house, and followed Wen Cai towards the center of the town.
"Good morning, Granny Zhang~"
"Aunt Li, leave two of these fish for me as usual, and someone will come to get them later."
Jingzhou smiled and kept saying hello to people on the street.
On the other hand, Wen Cai was just like his dead parents, who couldn't stop mumbling from behind.
Jing Zhou turned around and gave Wen Cai a slap, "Look at your little potential, isn't it just to drink foreign tea? If you miss it today, my uncle will compensate you for two days in a row tomorrow and the next day."
"real?"
Wencai shouted.
"When did my uncle lie to you?"
"Yes, yes, I know that uncle is the best."
Wen Cai changed the bitter look on his face, imitated Uncle Jiu, put one hand behind his back, followed Jing Zhou in figure steps, and was not in a hurry.
Jingzhou shook his head and mourned for Uncle Jiu for another two minutes.
Suddenly Wen Cai took a step forward, lined up with Jing Zhou, and said seductively: "Uncle Master, what do you think of my clothes?"
Today Wencai was wearing a brown coat with an emerald satin cover. Jingzhou glanced at him and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Uncle, you don't think it looks bad, do you?"
Wen Cai's mind was a step faster now, and he understood what Jing Zhou meant.
This dress was a new one given to him by Uncle Jiu for the Chinese New Year. He kept it under the cabinet and was reluctant to wear it.
I heard today that I was going to drink foreign tea, so I dug it out of the cupboard.
Jing Zhou smiled and said: "Senior brother is a little bit fond of you and Qiu Sheng. Ahem, I have to change these clothes at least twice a year."
In his mind, Jingzhou said again: "But it's not bad. You're not the worst off. If you worship under the Four Eyes Sect and only get a piece of tattered clothes after eight years, Jia Le will be much worse off than you."
"Really? Uncle Master, do you think so too?"
"Unfortunately, the master is the most stingy. He even knows how much rice he eats in a day."
Wen Cai's face first changed to happy, then from happy to sad, and then from sad to bitter.
"You have to be careful. If your senior brother listens to such a loud noise, you won't get anything to eat tonight." Jingzhou glanced at Wencai. The boy opened his mouth like a dam releasing floods. After a while, even last year's words came out.
Uncle Jiu vomited out those stingy past events, as if the most stingy person in the world was none other than Uncle Jiu.
"What's the matter? Uncle, you are making such a fuss, but the master can't hear you!"
Wen Cai glanced back at Jing Zhou proudly, and wanted to continue his bitter words by digging out the old accounts of being oppressed by Uncle Jiu in the past. Jing Zhou winked at him and told him to look forward, but Wen Cai suddenly covered his mouth with his hand.
On the way up, I saw Uncle Jiu standing in front of the coffee shop a few dozen meters in front, hesitating.
Jingzhou stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long~"
Uncle Jiu was overjoyed when he heard this voice, "It's not too late, it's just the right time."
After speaking, Uncle Jiu straightened his body and put his hands behind his back, "Since junior brother knows a lot about this foreign tea, why don't you come first."
When Wen Cai went to call Jing Zhou earlier, Uncle Jiu was already here.
It was his first time drinking foreign tea. He was afraid of making a fool of himself, so he stayed in front of the door for a while, taking the opportunity to listen to how to drink the foreign tea.
Seeing this, Jingzhou didn't criticize him. He smiled softly and pushed the door in. He waved his hand and called the waiter over. He gave his name as Ren Fa and followed the waiter inside.
There was music playing in the room, and the decoration was elegant. The literary talent was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Her eyes were wide open, looking around and muttering: "Master, everything about this foreign teahouse is different. Look at that big clock."
"
After saying that, Wencai looked quite proud. After today, he could be considered someone who has seen people in the market.
Seeing Wencai looking around, Uncle Jiu coughed and whispered: "Wencai, don't be embarrassed, we are people with status."
Uncle Jiu saw that the men and women around him were all dressed in suits and dresses, and then he looked at himself in a yellow coat. He was obviously out of place among the people around him, and his face was full of embarrassment.
Like a literary talent, he took out the clothes from the bottom of the box for this foreign tea.
"Fortunately, junior brother is also wearing a long gown. Even if he is embarrassed like this, well, there are still talented people and junior brother in front of him."
After all, Uncle Jiu was a man who had experienced strong winds and waves. He comforted himself a few words, his face returned to normal, and he followed Jing Zhou and strode forward.
Jingzhou shook his head and laughed heartily. Fortunately, the cafe was not big, so the three of them reached Ren Fa's table within a few steps.
Ren Fa saw Uncle Jiu following a young man and hurriedly stood up to say hello.
"Uncle Jiu, sit down!"
"Master Ren, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long!"
"Haha, no, no, I just arrived. Uncle Ninth is so polite."
"Guys, please take a seat!"
After several people were seated, Ren Fa asked: "Uncle Jiu, who is this little brother?"
Jingzhou's jet-black hair was styled into a neat bun and covered in an exquisite hair crown. Although he was wearing a crescent-colored gown, he had an air of aloofness that made it difficult for anyone not to notice.
"I forgot to introduce you to Master Ren, this is my junior brother."
"It turns out he is Uncle Jiu's junior brother." Ren Fa glanced at Wen Cai, then looked at Jing Zhou, and laughed and said: "As expected of Uncle Jiu's junior brother, he is really a talented person. The little brother has already gone down the mountain at such a young age. I think he is a very talented person."
His ability is extremely impressive.”
Ren Fa was just saying polite words, and Wen Cai shouted from the side: "If you are wise, my uncle's ability is naturally great!"
In the past two days, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai often went to Jing Zhou's place to have dinner, and accidentally saw Jing Zhou painting the Sanwei Zhenhuo talisman, which shocked the two of them. Wen Cai was loyal and honest, so Uncle Jiu passed on his ability to draw talismans to him.
He is a talented man of letters. He has followed Uncle Jiu for many years, and the amulet he draws works sometimes but not always.
Jing Zhou shook his head and smiled bitterly, this guy is always so amazing with his words.
You don't have to bring any money when you go out with a guy like Wen Cai, but you must have a thick skin.
Ren Fa smiled politely.
The mouth is hairless and the work is done effortlessly.
What kind of skills can this little Taoist priest who looks about the same age as Tingting have?
