After everyone simply ate some food, Uncle Jiu looked around. The entire first floor was empty, except for their table. It seemed that Boss Zhang was right. The business has been much sluggish recently, and pilgrims who came to offer incense were also here.
Very few.
But it was a good time to talk when there were few people. He asked directly: "What happened on the mountain?"
Qingyun was tall and thin. He was the first to arrive and was older than a few others. Hearing this, he glanced at the busy Boss Zhang and said in a low voice: "Uncle, there have been a lot of changes in various places recently."
"Oh?" Uncle Jiu raised his eyebrows, and Feng Yi also raised his ears.
"About a year ago, on the eve of Master Mamadi's descent from the mountain, there was something strange happening in an ancient tomb. Master went to check it out and go to solve the problem...
Then a month ago, abnormal conditions appeared in several large tombs. The head master was worried that something would happen, so he sent several other masters to investigate the situation. They have not come back yet." Qingyun looked solemn and relaxed.
Said slowly.
Just a year ago, a month ago... Wasn't it the time when the big boss showed up? Did his appearance affect the origin of other zombies?
It would be a shame if it were eliminated.
Feng Yi said secretly in his heart.
After hearing this, Uncle Jiu glanced at Feng Yi, always feeling that this matter had something to do with him. But then he reacted and said, "My master has gone down the mountain again?"
"Yes, several masters have left, and the head master, grand master, and others are still in retreat." Qingyun answered honestly.
Hearing this, Uncle Jiu felt a little embarrassed. If his master, Taoist Master Xuan Ji, was here, everything would be easier. He was considered a favored disciple and he could just explain Tingting and the others' situation.
But the master, Taoist Master Bo Xuanzhen, is a bit too jealous of evil. To him, all evil ways should be completely eradicated.
To give a simple example, if a person is bitten by a zombie, he will transform into a zombie for a period of time. With Master Jiu's temper, as long as the zombie poison does not reach the heart and completely control the person, he will do his best to save him;
But the head master is not in such a good mood. Once he finds signs of corpse transformation, he will kill him without mercy.
Although this reduces a lot of risks, it has to be said that there is a possibility of dying in vain.
This can't be said to be wrong, but it always feels a bit too callous.
In fact, the master previously intended to pass the position of master to Taoist Master Xuanji, but he was extremely resistant to this and refused many times. In the end, the master had no choice but to pass the position of master to the current master, Master Bo Xuanzhen.
As for Taoist names, during the period of the Republic of China, Taoism declined and people no longer cared so much about titles. Including Jiu Shu and his generation, they are technically called Ling, but few people use them, and only a few people still adhere to this.
According to rules, Uncle Jiu's junior fellow apprentice, Qingyun and their master, Taoist Master Ling Dong, is one of them.
What Uncle Jiu was worried about was that if he told the master uncle about Tingting and the others' situation, the other party would kill them indiscriminately.
In the eyes of Taoist Xuanzhen, there is no distinction between men and women, only the differences between humans and demons, and they will definitely not be merciful just because Tingting Zhuzhu and Jingjing are young and beautiful.
Including Feng Yi, even if he is Uncle Jiu's apprentice, once he shows his zombie appearance, he will probably be killed without mercy.
Now Taoist Master Xuanzhen is already at the pinnacle of the Earth Master and is only one step away from the Heavenly Master realm. He is considered one of the few top masters among his peers. Without the help of his zombie origin, Feng Yi will end up being completely tortured.
But Uncle Jiu has already met Qingyun and the others. It makes no sense to stay at the foot of the mountain without going up the mountain. Waiting for Taoist Master Xuanji to come back is tantamount to wishful thinking. He has to go there tomorrow.
Unlike Uncle Jiu, who was confused and had a headache, Mami felt bad when he heard the news that his master was coming down the mountain. When he heard that the master was the only one on the mountain, he turned pale with fright.
If there is a master around, the head master will only give slight punishments without breaking the bones;
But now that the master is away, his sneaking down the mountain, which has brought shame to the master, will be infinitely magnified. In order to establish his authority and to be a warning, the head master will also skin him severely.
As soon as he thought about this, he couldn't help but burst into tears and couldn't even eat.
Qingyun and others also saw something was wrong with Mamadi and knew that they
This uncle was afraid, and they, who knew the master's temper well, looked at him with sympathy and said, "Uncle, how about we say we have never seen you when we go back?"
Momadi was overjoyed when he heard this, and just about to nod, Uncle Jiu snorted and said: "Escape is not the solution to the problem. Master has saved you time and time again, but this time you have made such a big mistake, you still want to
Will Master take the blame for you?
From now on, how can the head master establish his prestige, and how can the Maoshan sect have the face to gain a foothold in front of fellow Taoists."
What he said was a bit serious. The numbness was like an eggplant beaten by winter frost, wilting and unable to laugh anymore.
In the final analysis, this matter was indeed his fault. Now that he is back, the master is not here. This may not be a warning from God to him.
That's all, just die.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qingyun and others stood up and said to Uncle Jiu and Mamadi, "Two junior uncles, it's getting late, we should go back."
"It should be so, go ahead." Uncle Jiu nodded and said.
"Then what happened when you came back..."
"Just report it truthfully. We will go up the mountain early tomorrow morning."
"Yes." Several people said hello to Feng Yi again and left the inn.
After seeing a few people walking away, Feng Yi asked softly: "Master, I just saw something wrong on your face when you heard the name of the head master. Is there something wrong?"
"It doesn't matter, I have a teacher here and won't let anything happen to you." Uncle Jiu said firmly.
When Feng Yi heard Uncle Jiu's words, instead of feeling happy, he felt a little heavy. Uncle Jiu even used the word "accident". It seemed that the head master was not easy to deal with!
The meal was a bit boring. When they went upstairs, Uncle Jiu thought about it and said to Feng Yi: "Go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow."
"It's Master, I know." Feng nodded.
"Remember, when wearing Taoist robes, don't bring your Seven-Star Longyuan Sword. It's too conspicuous. It's better to bring the peach wood sword. I have prepared it for you in advance."
Uncle Jiu refused to let Feng bring the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword because he felt it was too obvious.
eyes, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble;
Secondly, I thought that this sword had just killed Zi Lei a month ago and swallowed the purple thunder fragments into the sword body. It was like a timer. I was worried that if it exploded when it shouldn't have happened, that would be a big problem.
.
When Feng saw that Uncle Jiu had considered it so carefully, his heart warmed and he nodded in agreement.
"Also, Tingting Zhuzhu and Jingjing, please stay at the inn for the time being, and wait until I meet the master uncle." Uncle Jiu warned at the end.
