"There are a few people with good qualifications, but they are too utilitarian and are not suitable for me."
"Master, have you forgotten Junior Sister Wu?" Wen Cai reminded at the side.
Uncle Jiu was stunned.
"I forgot about it just now. Four months ago, a young woman named 'Wu Yi' came to me and knelt for three days and three nights. Her mental toughness was impressive and her qualifications were excellent. However, I do not accept female disciples.
, I recommended it to my junior sister and concubine.”
Xu Rui nodded slightly, that's right, there are always one or two otherworldly beings among hundreds of people.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, who is this...?"
"Oh, this is me sitting down to control the beast 'General Zuo'."
General Zuo stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted.
"General Zuo meets with Taoist Lin."
After looking at it for a moment, he smiled.
"There is no need to be too polite. Taoist friend is indeed very good at handling me. This fellow Taoist Zuo's aura is pure, righteous but not evil, his spiritual light is imbued, and he is full of Taoism. He has obviously obtained the true teachings of my Xuanmen."
"Brother Taoist, wonderful praise. It has just been established and is still far from perfect."
After a pause, he looked at Wen Cai and said with a smile: "Here we are, this little brother. He has wonderful bones and strong qi and blood. He will practice well and will definitely achieve success in the future."
Although he didn't even believe this, he was still polite and polite.
Uncle Jiu snorted coldly.
"If he is half as good as fellow Taoist said, I will burn high incense."
Hearing this, the literary talent who had just been so proud soon became depressed.
In front of outsiders, Uncle Jiu shouldn't scold him too much. After all, he is his disciple and represents his own face.
"By the way, fellow Taoist, do you know about 'foreign tea'?"
Xu Rui's heart moved, "Foreign tea? Brother Dao, are you talking about coffee?"
"Yes, it's coffee. Mr. Ren from Renjia Town will invite me to drink coffee tomorrow to discuss moving his father's grave. I've never drank this foreign stuff, and I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed."
"This is a simple matter. If Brother Tao doesn't mind it, you and I can go together. Brother Tao just needs to drink with me."
"If fellow Taoists are willing to go with us, that would be the best thing."
"Brother Taoist, please be prepared, coffee will be very bitter even with sugar added."
"Thank you fellow Taoist for informing me."
After the two chatted for a while, Uncle Jiu asked Wen Cai to clear out the guest room and arrange for Xu Rui and his servants to stay there.
A night of silence.
Xu Rui got up early the next day to practice martial arts.
Diligence neglected in play.
This is especially true for martial arts.
Therefore, from the time he was in the world of Nuqing Xiangxi to now, unless he really couldn't find time, he would get up at 4:30 in the morning every day to practice boxing.
It used to be Meishan Boxing, but now it's Dragon and Tiger Golden Body Technique.
In order to avoid disturbing others, he specially posted a mute note on the pillar next to him.
After spending an hour practicing my fists and kicks, I flew up to the roof, sat down cross-legged, took out the Jiuxian gourd, took a sip of wine, and meditated to practice my Qi.
Soon Uncle Jiu also came out.
First, boxing and kicking, then meditating and practicing Qi.
Taoist practice emphasizes the dual cultivation of life and life. Although it focuses on Qi training, at the beginning, it also lays a solid foundation for the body.
After a simple breakfast, the group tidied up, opened the courtyard door and came out.
The seven people who once knelt outside the door have long since disappeared.
Seeing this, Xu Rui sighed secretly.
Seeking the truth is never easy.
I think that when he was in Nuqingxiangxi, he had experienced a bloody fantasy where nothing could exist before he had the opportunity to join Xiling.
Now they don't need to go through the test of life and death. They just have to kneel down for a few days and have the opportunity to learn the Tao directly. As a result, most people still can't persist. It's no wonder that Uncle Jiu said that they are too utilitarian and unwilling to accept disciples.
Uncle Jiu sighed and closed the courtyard door.
Qiu Sheng's temperament is unstable and his literary talent is very poor.
Therefore, he has always wanted to recruit a disciple who can pass on the mantle.
But these people who kept coming to study as disciples could not persist even for one day and one night, let alone three days and three nights, which really disappointed him.
Xu Rui saw this and was not surprised.
In modern society, there is too much material, and most of the younger generation have never suffered much, so their willpower is naturally weak.
Of course, it is not impossible to change if you practice it.
But too many people have no chance to correct themselves.
The group left Yizhuang and walked to the town.
The businesses on the main street were already open for business and looked extremely lively.
"Uncle Jiu, morning."
"morning."
Along the way, villagers greeted me one after another.
It can be seen that Uncle Jiu has a high prestige here.
Wencai walked away for a while and quietly came up to him.
"Master, can I not go with you to see Master Ren?"
"What, you had a problem with him?"
"Of course not. I have never drank foreign tea. I am afraid that I will make a fool of myself and embarrass my master when I get there later."
"Don't worry, your uncle has drank it before. See what he does. Just follow suit."
Xu Rui smiled and said, "Wencai, coffee is much easier than practicing martial arts and drawing talismans. You can master it as soon as you learn it, so don't worry."
"oh."
After responding, Wencai's face still showed some anxiety.
Xu Rui didn't say much, and as he walked forward, he was keenly aware of the scrutinizing eyes around him.
These people basically don't know how to hide.
Some of them had seen "regular customers" at the gate of Yizhuang yesterday.
"It seems these guys haven't given up yet."
Soon, a group of people arrived outside a Western restaurant called Thames.
"That's it."
Pushing the door open, the hall was mostly full.
It can be seen that there are many wealthy people in Renjia Town.
In this era, Western restaurants are expensive.
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and a stylized smile came up to him.
"Hello, I'm Pete, the restaurant manager. Could you please tell me where you are?"
Uncle Jiu stepped forward.
"What? Didn't Ren Fa book a table for us?"
"Master Ren? Please come with me."
Moving to the second floor, the decoration here is obviously more luxurious.
Soon, a rich-looking half-century-old man wearing a silver-white coat took the initiative to greet him.
"Uncle Nine."
"Master Ren."
"Who is this…?"
"Let me introduce you. This is my best friend Xu Zhengyang, who is also a profound Taoist cultivator."
"Fellow Daoist Xu, this is Mr. Ren whom I mentioned to you before."
"I've met Mr. Ren."
Xu Rui cupped his fists and saluted.
Although I was surprised by his youth, for Uncle Jiu's sake, Ren Fa was still polite and considerate.
Everyone took their seats.
"I heard that Miss Ren is back, why didn't I meet her?"
"Oh, this girl learned how to put on makeup, and as soon as she came back she went around teaching people."
Crisp footsteps sounded.
A beautiful girl wearing a pink dress, holding a handbag and being polite walked over quickly.
The dress and appearance were completely different from those of ordinary village girls, and Wen Cai was immediately stunned.
"dad."
"Call Uncle Jiu quickly."
"Uncle Nine."
"This is Taoist Master Xu."
Although she was surprised by Xu Rui's youth, Ren Tingting still yelled obediently.
