Chapter 23: The Moon in the Water, the Appearance of the Present
"Wencai, hasn't that child left yet?" The thin old man with his sword-shaped eyebrows forming the character "one" asked his apprentice.
This is Uncle Jiu, a Taoist priest sent from Maodaoshan. He is also the master of all saints that Qin Yuelou can observe twice, but this Uncle Jiu has not obtained the system.
To be precise, the last Uncle Jiu who got the system got the filial piety system. This filial piety system allowed Uncle Jiu to fulfill his filial piety to his master and ancestors, and he was not deceived by the deceitful disciples.
However, the previous Uncle Ninth did not become an immortal. Instead, he was reincarnated and became a policeman. At the same time, the filial piety system was also inherited. After all, the purpose of the filial piety system was to prevent Uncle Ninth from being cheated. This reincarnated Uncle Feng also became a policeman because of the system.
The help has not been tricked, so I won’t go into details here.
After all, it is this Uncle Ninth that we are talking about.
In fact, it is not necessarily true to say that Uncle Jiu is an old man. Although his hair is mostly mixed with silver threads, there are no wrinkles on his face, and his back is straight and straight, and he does not look at all old.
The apprentice had a grimace on his face, looking aggrieved, and responded to his master in a submissive manner.
"Master, he has been kneeling for three days without any water. Will he die if he continues like this?" Wencai asked his master worriedly.
"Why don't you go and offer incense to those uncles?" Uncle Jiu ignored him and instead glared at Wen Cai.
"Oh..." After Uncle Jiu glared at him, Wencai didn't dare to talk to him anymore, so he walked away feeling aggrieved.
Uncle Jiu watched Wen Cai leave and sighed helplessly.
[Although Wencai is a very well-behaved child, his brain is not very bright. What should he do in the future?]
However, although Uncle Jiu did not express it clearly, he still poured a bowl of water and walked to the door.
"Get up, you have been kneeling for such a long time, I will accept you as my disciple, but you have to know one thing clearly, what is the purpose of practicing Taoism." Uncle Jiu took the water and put it in front of the young man.
The young man's body looks powerful, his face is resolute, his hair is messy and full of dust. He is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his shabby clothes are still full of bloodstains.
"I want to kill those evil spirits who harm others and avenge my relatives." The young man's eyes flashed with hatred and sadness.
Uncle Jiu looked at the young man and sighed inaudibly.
"What's your name?" Uncle Jiu asked the young man.
"My name is Xuanyuan Goudan." Xuanyuan Goudan said, and then fainted.
Before fainting, Xuanyuan Goudan seemed to hear some strange sound.
[Light red system binding successful.]
This is the system that Qin Yuelou randomly created and threw it to this kid named Xuanyuan Goudan.
Uncle Jiu called Wencai and asked him to carry Xuanyuan Goudan to the back room of Yizhuang, where their master and apprentice lived.
Xuanyuan Goudan fell into a deep sleep. After an unknown amount of time, Xuanyuan Goudan woke up with a bowl of gruel beside him.
"You're awake. Master asked me to tell you to eat slowly and go to become a disciple after eating." The handsome young man said with a hearty smile, "My name is Qiu Sheng, and you will be my little junior brother from now on."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Qiusheng." Xuanyuan Goudan said weakly.
What kept him kneeling in front of Yizhuang for three days was a feeling of anger, an anger that wanted revenge, but this anger has subsided now.
Ever since he was rescued by Uncle Jiu, Xuanyuan Goudan accepted his fate and wanted to become his apprentice.
"I haven't become a disciple yet. It's not too late to call me senior brother when you become a disciple." Qiu Sheng said, helping Xuanyuan Goudan and placing the gruel on Xuanyuan Goudan's hand. The gruel was still warm.
Xuanyuan Goudan drank the gruel, which replenished his empty stomach. After finishing the drink, Xuanyuan Goudan got out of bed.
Qiu Sheng helped Xuanyuan Goudan to the hall.
In front of the hall, Uncle Jiu was wearing an apricot Taoist robe and a Zhuangzi scarf on his head.
As the saying goes, "The Tao has nine scarves", but the names of the nine scarves are not fixed.
The lower part of the scarf is square, and the upper part is triangular, shaped like a roof. The front of the hat is inlaid with white jade, so the hat is straight, symbolizing good character.
There is an incense case placed behind Uncle Jiu, and two portraits hang behind the incense case.
One painting shows three Taoist priests. These three are Sanmao Zhenjun, the founders of the Maodaoshan sect.
The other one shows a tall and strong old man. The old man's muscles bulge out of the monk's robe, and the outline of his muscles is clearly visible.
"Master, my disciple is accepting another disciple today. He is a child named Xuanyuan Goudan. His qualifications are not bad. He is at least better than Wencai and Qiu Sheng. Not to mention the child Aaron, but this child Goudan,
My heart is full of hatred, I just hope that he will not go astray because of this." Uncle Jiu first offered incense to Patriarch Sanmao, and then offered incense to the muscular old man. Uncle Jiu said softly, "I will discipline this child well.
of."
"Master, I brought my junior brother here." Qiu Sheng called Uncle Jiu affectionately.
"No big or small." Uncle Jiu glared at Qiu Sheng.
Qiu Sheng scratched his head, closed his mouth angrily, and helped Xuanyuan Goudan in front of Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu was sitting on the wicker chair, his figure still upright. Behind him were the portraits of San Mao Zhenjun and his master.
Uncle Jiu looked at Xuanyuan Goudan and spoke.
"The Taoism of our Maodaoshan sect can be good or evil. If it is used in a righteous way, it can help the world and save the people. If it is used in an evil way, it will harm the world. Therefore, in our Maodaoshan sect, the first point of selecting disciples is to examine the character."
Uncle Jiu said with great majesty, with a solemn tone, "I look at your face and know that you have a chivalrous spirit in your heart, and you also value the word love. You knelt at the door for three days, which also proves your perseverance.
, the heart of seeking truth is evident.”
Xuanyuan Goudan listened quietly.
"Xuanyuan Goudan, let me ask you, are you willing to worship me as your teacher and become a disciple of my Maodaoshan sect?" Uncle Jiu asked Xuanyuan Goudan.
"I do." Xuanyuan Goudan said firmly.
Then Uncle Jiu set up an altar under the portrait of Patriarch Sanmao, lit incense, and offered incense to Patriarch Sanmao again.
Then Uncle Jiu sat on the wicker chair under the portrait of the ancestor.

Then Xuanyuan Goudan took the tea handed over by Qiu Sheng and presented it to Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu did not accept the tea immediately.
With a serious look on his face, he told Xuanyuan Goudan the rules and regulations of Maotao.
"The first sect rule of our Maodaoshan sect is to fight against good and evil for life... The first precept is betrayal of faith, the second precept is to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors; the third precept is to have evil intentions, the fourth precept is to harm others through evil methods; the fifth precept is to kill, steal and commit adultery, and the sixth precept is to kill each other...
…”
After Uncle Jiu finished speaking, he looked at Xuanyuan Goudan seriously.
"If you use evil methods to harm others in the future, I will definitely clean up the family." Uncle Jiu's eyes reflected Xuanyuan Goudan's kneeling figure.
"Disciple, please remember Master's teachings and you will definitely not use evil methods to harm others!" Xuanyuan Goudan said with great seriousness.
"Very good. From today on, you will be my fourth apprentice, Lin Yingfengjiao." Uncle Jiu said.
The reason why Uncle Jiu is unwilling to reveal his real name is because his name is girly and does not fit in with Uncle Jiu's image at all. But behind it are Patriarch Sanmao and his master. Even if Uncle Jiu is reluctant, he has to say it like this.
Then Uncle Jiu took Xuanyuan Goudan's tea and took a sip.
"Since you have become my master, you are naturally a disciple of my Maodaoshan sect. Please offer incense to my ancestor and your ancestor." Uncle Jiu said, "Get up!"
"Yes, Master." Xuanyuan Goudan stood up, holding the incense in his hand, and respectfully offered the incense to the Grandmaster and Grandmaster.
Xuanyuan Goudan felt that there was an hallucination in front of his eyes. Why did his master smile at him?
He was a little confused, and then he saw the portrait of his master shining with golden light.
A ray of light penetrated into the forehead and heart.
Uncle Jiu on the side looked at the portrait of his master in surprise.
He remembered what his master had said before.
"Fengjiao, Simu, Qianhe, and Xiaojian are all not suitable for my technique. Hey, when you accept disciples from now on, bring them all to me for a look." That year, their master said so.
"Master, why can't we practice your skills?" Senior Brother Shi Jian asked in confusion.
"Your body bones are not strong enough." Master just said this. "When you encounter danger in the future, if you ask me to get on you, you will understand what I mean."
Uncle Jiu had never asked a god to ask the master to take care of him, so naturally he didn't know the use of the master's technique.
Now, the master appeared and taught this technique to his young apprentice.
"That's good. Master can teach his skills to Goudan, which also shows that Goudan has a good nature and character." Uncle Jiu let go of his worries a lot.
But he was still afraid that Xuanyuan Goudan would go astray out of hatred.
However, Xuanyuan Goudan saw and heard something beyond his understanding.
"I am the assistant of the light red system. I have detected that I have obtained the skill "Maodao Shenquan" and unlocked the achievement "Muscle Brother Noble". I hereby send you a reward and the level of Maodao Shenquan has been upgraded to the second level."
Xuanyuan Goudan could feel that there was a fierce heat flow in his body, sweeping through all corners of his body. The feeling of weakness was swept away, replaced by seemingly endless energy and a steady stream of power.
Uncle Jiu could see that the yang energy in Xuanyuan Goudan's body began to increase, his height increased a bit, and his muscles became swollen.
Seeing this, Uncle Jiu quickly offered incense to his master, while Xuanyuan Goudan was immersed in the unknown.
At this moment, in front of Xuanyuan Goudan is a panel frame, with the four words Mao Dao Shenquan written in the frame, followed by the words "Second Level".
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Goudan knew Chinese characters, otherwise Xuanyuan Goudan would not know what was going on.
"I am the assistant of the light red system. If you need it, just call the light red. The light red can improve and fuse the skills and spells you hold. Anyone who kills the evil monsters can get improvement points and deduction points.
, you can also get system rewards when you meet the achievements, that's it." Weiming's voice said, and the panel frame closed up.
"What's the situation?" Xuanyuan Goudan didn't quite understand what the situation was, but it seemed harmless, which was important.
But what Xuanyuan Goudan valued the most was the sentence "Kill and harm people and evil spirits".
He became a disciple of Uncle Jiu in order to avenge the monster that killed his parents. Although Uncle Jiu saved him, the monster also escaped by chance.
Although Uncle Jiu's temperament would definitely catch it and do justice for heaven, Xuanyuan Goudan really couldn't wait and wanted to take revenge with his own hands.
"Master appears, why are you so stunned? Why don't you quickly thank Master?" Uncle Jiu's dissatisfied voice came out.
Xuanyuan Goudan just woke up from a dream and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to his master.
Uncle Jiu seemed to see the master smiling in the portrait, and he also started laughing unconsciously.
After Xuanyuan Goudan finished kowtowing, Uncle Jiu was slightly satisfied.
"You rest today, and tomorrow I will teach you the basic cultivation methods of the Maodaoshan sect. There is a bed for you on the second floor of the small room. From now on, you can sleep on the second floor of the small room. At night, you and Wen Cai will guard the Yizhuang to prevent him from being alone.
"Uncle Jiu said to Xuanyuan Goudan.
"Master, did you call me?" Wen Cai came back at some point, still holding the chicken in his hand, "I bought the hen, which can be used to replenish my junior brother's health."
"You still know how to come back, and you don't even know what time it is. Do you want to starve to death as a teacher?" Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes.
Xuanyuan Goudan looked at this scene and felt warm in his heart. If you like "Liao Zhai Not Cthulhu", please collect it: (www.sodu777.net) "Liao Zhai Not Cthulhu" search novel website has the fastest update speed on the entire Internet.
