Chapter 50 - The declining Taoist sect, the era of chaos (seeking for reading, 4K)

"Master, today we are killing chickens and buying some high-quality mutton and donkey meat. What are we going to do?"

In Yi Zhuang on the outskirts of Renjia Town, Wen Cai placed the freshly killed big rooster in front of Uncle Jiu. Uncle Jiu felt strange to him today.

Master, who has always been very stingy, actually bought so much good wine and food today out of mercy. Isn't this the last meal of the family?

"What nonsense are you talking about? Just prepare as you are told!"

Uncle Jiu glanced sideways, and Wencai was startled by his majestic expression. Qiu Sheng, who was on the side, stepped forward and put away the chopped donkey and mutton and the prepared desserts and said: "What the master said is what it is, Wencai, you What nonsense are you talking about, Master, when will we start eating?”

After coming to Yizhuang for so many years, he rarely eats such hard food.

This era is like this. In troubled times, everyone's food is not good. Donkey and mutton are really not something ordinary people like them can eat. Today, Uncle Jiu has prepared these for the first time. Although Qiu Sheng doesn't know why, but Now he just wants to finish three big bowls of rice quickly.

"We still have to wait for someone to come."

Uncle Jiu shook his head and said slowly.

"Is Uncle Four Eyes coming? But it seems that Master didn't prepare these things when Uncle Four Eyes came before, right?"

Wen Cai asked strangely, then quietly stretched out his hand to squeeze a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but Uncle Jiu slapped it away.

Then after seeing Uncle Jiu's widened eyes, he shrank back, a sneer flashed across his face, but he didn't dare to continue.

"It's not Junior Brother Four Eyes. It's the head of the Shenxiao Sect who is visiting Renjia Town today. He also informed me some time ago."

If he was from a sect, then Bai Ye actually didn't need to notify him.

But this is the place where Maoshan is guarded. Bai Ye is the leader of the Shenxiao Sect, and he came here to inform Uncle Jiu.

On the one hand, it was to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, and on the other hand, after he informed him, he also needed Uncle Jiu to take him around to look around.

Famous sects also have so-called rules. Although Bai Ye doesn't like so many rules, he still does it well to avoid following the truth. Now he is also the leader of a sect after all.

"Shenxiao Sect? What kind of sect is that?"

Qiu Sheng asked curiously. He was actually interested because this was the first time he heard about this sect.

Regarding Taoist matters, he only knew that his family belonged to Maoshan, but he didn't know anything else.

"The Shenxiao sect is a sect that evolved from the Tao of Heavenly Masters in the late Northern Song Dynasty. It specializes in the Five Thunder Talisman, which can control ghosts and gods, control thunderstorms, and eliminate disasters. It is also one of our famous and decent sects. Please be polite and don't be rude when you see me later. Angry!"

After a brief introduction, Uncle Jiu gave the two of them a warning.

He was very aware of the stubbornness of his two disciples. If they offended each other, they would suffer a lot later.

"Then Master, what other sects are there among these cultivation sects?"

Qiusheng asked.

"Yes, yes, Master, it seems you haven't told us this yet!"

Wencai also asked hurriedly when he saw this.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Uncle Jiu shook his head and explained helplessly: "There used to be many sects in the Taoist sect, but in the Dharma-ending era, many sects have disappeared. The ones that still exist today are the Maoshan and Shenxiao sects. , Quanzhen sect, Longhushan Zhengyi sect, Tianshi Tao, etc., and then there is Buddhism, and then there are some evil cultivating sects and scattered cultivating evil cultivators, etc. In short, there are many besides our Maoshan. What little thoughts you have!”

Uncle Jiu took this opportunity to suppress the tempers of the two of them.

Literary talent is dull and honest, but his spiritual talent is very poor. Qiu Sheng's spiritual talent is good, but he is too playful.

By accepting these two disciples, I would be damned for eight lifetimes.

I always feel like my Taoist teachings can no longer be passed on.

In addition, in this age of Dharma Ending, cultivation is becoming more and more difficult.

"Master, don't worry, we know how to do it!"

Qiu Sheng patted his chest and assured.

"Oh, I wish you could save me some trouble!"

Uncle Jiu had no idea about the two of them at all. As long as they could make him worry-free, nothing else was a big problem.

Let’s talk about what happens next.

"Knock knock!"

Outside the yard, there was a knock on the door.

"Master, let me open the door!"

Upon seeing this, Wencai stood up quickly, and Qiu Sheng on the side quickly followed: "Master, I'm going too!"

They are still very curious about the leader of the Shenxiao Sect.

Opening the door, a young and handsome man in Taoist robes was standing in front of the two of them, and beside him were a black and white iron-eating beast and a khaki pastoral dog.

"Are you Lin Fengjiao's disciples?"

Lin Fengjiao?

Wencai and Qiu Sheng looked at each other, then shook their heads and said, "Sorry, you have the wrong person!"

With that said, they prepared to close the door.

"Ahem, he's my disciple!"

Uncle Jiu coughed awkwardly behind him. Although he didn't want to mention the name, he now knew that he could not avoid it. Wencai and Qiu Sheng on the side turned their heads to look at Uncle Jiu as if they had seen a ghost, and then the two of them looked at each other. Red, holding back laughter and not daring to speak out.

What the hell! ?

No wonder I never knew Master’s name. It turns out that Master’s name is Lin Fengjiao!

No wonder no wonder.

If you do this, you probably won’t be willing to mention your name!

"Fellow Taoist, are you the only one here?"

He glanced at the rhubarb at Bai Ye's feet, which was holding his Taoist robe and about to nibble. Well, there was also a silly dog ​​and an iron-eating beast.

When did the Shenxiao Sect start raising such things?

"The Shenxiao Sect has long since declined. This time, in addition to fulfilling the sect's duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao, I also want to accept one or two disciples back to teach the inheritance."

Bai Ye nodded, there was actually no need to hide this matter.

The Shenxiao Sect itself is indeed in decline. Except for himself as the leader and a missing senior sister, there is no one else.

When Bai Yegou stayed on the mountain, it was partly because he was not strong enough, and partly because he wanted to preserve the last inheritance of the Shenxiao Sect. Now that he is strong enough, he is willing to go down the mountain to find some disciples.

"Oh, I didn't expect that even the Shenxiao Sect is already like this. Let's invite fellow Taoists inside and we'll talk about it slowly later!"

Uncle Jiu gave up his position and let the guests talk outside the door. It was not the way to treat guests.

"Let's go, Dahuang, Xiaohei."

What a crude name.

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai looked at each other, are they so careless?

"He became the leader at such a young age. Do you think he is really powerful?"

Wen Cai behind him muttered, "When I saw Bai Ye like this just now, he was younger than me, so he wasn't very impressive."

"I think so!"

Qiu Sheng was a little sour. Being so handsome was a blow to Qiu Sheng, who originally had little confidence in himself.

"Fellow Taoist, in these troubled times it is better to stay away less. Demons and ghosts are secondary, the main thing is the warlords!"

In the living room, Uncle Jiu bought a cup of tea and then reminded Bai Ye.

Perhaps because of Bai Ye's youth, he could actually feel that the Shenxiao Sect was indeed in decline.

It may even be true that Bai Ye is the only one, otherwise there would never be such a young leader. If he is a very powerful genius, then the news has already gone crazy in the Taoist sect, and it is impossible that he has not heard of it until now.

Therefore, he also wanted to advise Bai Ye not to be impulsive, otherwise once he died, the inheritance of the Shenxiao Sect might be cut off.

This world is indeed too chaotic.

Moreover, it has become increasingly difficult to practice since the dragon vein was severed.

Nowadays, the world is still in chaos, and warlords are fighting in a melee. For monks, they can still deal with demons and ghosts, but if they are shot by the guns in the hands of warlords, they will die if they are shot.

Times have changed.

"I know these are troubled times, but isn't it what we as Taoists must do to eliminate demons and defend the Tao?"

Bai Ye said slowly, probably because of the Ring of Merit, if Bai Ye wanted to quickly improve his strength, he only had to kill evil creatures to accumulate merit for himself.

"Fellow Taoist is righteous!"

Uncle Jiu felt a little ashamed of this.

"Actually, it's pretty good to be able to protect one side's safety. Haven't there been no demons or monsters here these years, fellow Taoist?"

Bai Ye calculated that the efficiency of searching for monsters and monsters outside was too low.

Like the world of Ke Xue, if you want to encounter a case, you only need to follow the God of Death. In this zombie world, Uncle Jiu is definitely a natural protagonist. The probability of encountering ghosts with him is much higher than if you go out by yourself.

So after Bai Ye came down from the mountain, he actually came to see Uncle Jiu, mainly because he wanted to figure out what the timeline here was like.

If there is still a long time before the plot, then you can continue to wait and come back later. If it is about to start, then you have to get some merit for your own merit circle.

"Fellow Taoist, you're joking. This dish isn't ready yet. Let's eat and chat later!"

Uncle Jiu smiled and didn't say much. His eyes signaled Wencai and the two to go and prepare the food.

After finally meeting someone from another sect, Uncle Jiu was naturally a little interested.

The two chatted about everything from practicing Taoism to the other side, and Bai Ye's outstanding knowledge surprised Uncle Jiu.

I originally thought that Bai Ye was just a passionate young man who also liked to support justice and eliminate evil.

But during the chat with Bai Ye, I learned that Bai Ye knew more than me, and even knew a lot more about some Western things than me.

This inevitably made Uncle Jiu have a small thought in his heart. It happened that Master Ren invited him to a teahouse tomorrow. He had never been there before. If Bai Ye went with him, maybe he wouldn't make a fool of himself. At the same time, Bai Ye was there. Together, he always felt more at ease.

Before this, he always felt uneasy.

"Master, the food is ready, can you serve it all?"

Qiu Sheng poked his head around and looked at the two people chatting happily inside, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart. The two seemed to have such a big age gap. Bai Ye might be younger than him, but he was still able to chat so happily with his master.

He shook his head and didn't think much about it.

"Go ahead."

Uncle Jiu nodded with satisfaction. At least at this time, the two apprentices did not embarrass themselves.

He is a very face-conscious person.

"Okay Master!"

After saying that, Qiu Sheng ran to the kitchen in a flash, and then greeted Wen Cai, preparing to serve all the dishes.

"Qiu Sheng, help me!"

"Wen Cai, please be careful. If you are aborted, you will inevitably be punished by the master!"

Qiu Sheng looked at Wen Caina behind him, holding several plates, looking embarrassed, and said something gloating, and then ran away in a hurry.

"Hey!! Don't run!" Looking at Qiu Sheng's back, Wen Cai shouted, but the next second he disappeared around the corner, and he could only curse Qiu Sheng in his heart for his lack of loyalty.

But thinking of what Qiu Sheng said just now, and thinking of Uncle Jiu's gloomy face, Wen Cai couldn't help but shudder, and he also picked up the several bowls in his hands very neatly.

After finally getting all these back safely, Wencai breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time became angry when he saw Qiu Sheng's gloating expression.

There were seven bowls of food in total, but Qiu Sheng left with two bowls, while he came here alone with five bowls.

"Fellow Taoists are all just living on a simple diet, just making do with it?"

Uncle Jiu didn't know if he liked eating these white nights.

There are no food taboos in Taoism, so you can eat whatever you want. You can eat meat, but you don't eat birds, fish, cattle, wild geese, and dogs. The old cow is good, the mullet is filial, the wild goose is chaste, and the dog is loyal.

This is the so-called four don'ts.

"Thank you for the hospitality, fellow Taoist. I will treat you tomorrow."

In this era, anyone who can serve donkey, goat, and chicken to entertain guests is already considered very attentive.

"Well, I may need to go out tomorrow. By the way, fellow Taoist, would you like to go together?"

Uncle Jiu was worried about how to ask Bai Ye if he wanted to go with him.

Since Bai Ye said this, he asked along the lines of this sentence.

"ah?"

Aren't you taking me there?

Wencai turned his head and looked at Uncle Jiu in confusion. He had promised to take him to drink Western tea. The clothes had been washed tomorrow, so why didn't he take him with him?

"Going out for a trip? Are you going to travel far, fellow Taoist?"

"No, it was Mr. Ren from the town who asked my master to help lift the coffin and move it for burial!"

Wencai answered directly, looking like a show off.

"kindness?"

Master didn't say anything, why did you interrupt?

Uncle Jiu glared at Wencai, and he immediately did not dare to continue talking.

However, the slightly raised corners of Uncle Jiu's mouth obviously meant that Uncle Jiu was actually quite happy in his heart.

After all, it's good to save face. He is just like this, he just doesn't want to admit it.

"In this case, they only invited fellow Taoists and I went with them. Isn't it a little bad?"

Bai Ye's eyes lit up, the plot had just happened to catch up.

It seems that I came at the right time. After solving the zombie of Mr. Ren, I don’t know how much merit I can accumulate for myself. There should even be a chance to draw a lottery, right?

"No trouble, if fellow Taoist is interested, how about we go there together tomorrow?"

"good!"

Bai Ye nodded and didn't refuse any more. Uncle Jiu had already invited him in this way, and his refusal was obviously disrespectful to the other party.

On the other side, Wencai's anxious eyes were on his face.

He is anxious to death now.

Is there no one speaking up for him?
