Chapter 82: The plot begins
Early the next morning, Ryan packed up his ropes and went to town to buy incense and candle offerings. After breakfast, Uncle Nine cleaned up the ancestral hall and put the small room of Sanqing and Master Zu's tablet, and then began the apprenticeship ceremony.
After kowtowing to Sanqing and the patriarchs, Ryan kowtowed three times to Uncle Jiu and offered a cup of tea with both hands. Uncle Nine took the tea and took a sip, then said, "From today onwards, you will be a registered disciple of my Maoshan faction." ”
Then he handed over a thick book to Ryan and said, "This is my Maoshan Taoist Codex, which contains the Shangqing Heart Method and the Fu Method, you can take it and read it for yourself." Although I don't cultivate the physical body, I also have a shallow footwork that can avoid the enemy. I think you seem to have some kind of external cultivation, so I don't need to guide you, you can practice by yourself as written in the book. ”
Ryan hastily flipped through a few pages, and said to Uncle Nine with some doubts: "Master, is it a little too early for you to give me all such precious mental methods? Before I came to Middle-earth, I heard from the elders in my family that I would give my mental method after repeated tests after getting started. ”
Uncle Nine smiled bitterly and said in a deep voice, "Those of you who stayed overseas may not have been to Middle-earth for hundreds of years, and it was indeed like that a long time ago. It's just that now that the end of the Fa has arrived, it is no longer appropriate to say that the Dharma is not passed on lightly, and when the disciples are accepted, they will be given to them if they feel that they are qualified. These things are both Wencai and Qiusheng. ”
"Thank you, master, in this case, I have something to give you, thank you for your trust and tolerance of me. After saying that, Ryan took out lantern plants, sunflowers, and sunshine mushrooms from the space bag, which can deal with dark energy, and their cultivation manuals and handed them to Uncle Nine. At the same time, he told Uncle Nine about the effect of these plants.
Uncle Nine took these things with a trembling hand and sighed: "Is this because we are complacent and punished by God, and we don't know that there is such a thing in the world." If only we had sent someone to look somewhere else earlier. Why is this how I am in Middle-earth, why is this here......"
Ryan had to comfort Uncle Nine by the side, and it took Uncle Nine a while to recover. Then he decided to try to plant these things first, and when he would plant them one day, and when he was done, he would take them to Maoshan to meet the master. Maybe the hope of the Middle-earth Daomen lies in them.
In the next few days, while practicing the Maoshan Taoist Classics, Lane opened a field behind Yizhuang with his master Uncle Jiu to plant these plants. In the process of planting, they even found an unexpected joy, wherever these plants have been growing for a long time, the evil spirit in the land will gradually dissipate. It's impossible to breed zombies, skeletons, or even ghosts.
Finally, three days later, Ryan practiced the Pure Heart Method and finally cultivated a sense of qi. (Uncle Nine was surprised by Ryan's speed, but Ryan knew that his cultivation speed was relatively fast because the previous system enhancement was equivalent to cutting hair and washing the marrow, plus there were a lot of merit sunshine crystal crystals that could be used.) If it is placed before the end of the law era, Ryan's qualification can be regarded as middle and upper at best. )
Uncle Nine also said to Ryan that if it was before the end of the Dharma era, the entire cultivation world would be eager to follow the Shangqing Heart Method. And only the most core disciples of the Maoshan School can learn this mental method.
It's a pity that as soon as the era of the end of the law came, this kind of mental method that requires water grinding and hard work is not popular. The most popular ones now are the ones that have achieved quick results in the past, even if Uncle Nine himself has practiced this kind of mental method, but after so many years, he has only broken through the innate nature. In the end, you still have to rely on the demons and ghosts of Maoshan in the past, and watch small techniques such as feng shui and yin and yang houses to make a living.
As soon as he got here, a servant from a rich and noble family at the door sent an invitation, inviting Uncle Nine to go to the town's café for coffee tomorrow. As soon as Uncle Nine saw that it was an invitation from someone from the Ren family in the town, he decided to go and see what the situation was.
Although Ryan has now given a lot of thank-you gifts to Yizhuang to temporarily get rid of the property crisis, the Ren family is the largest family in the town, and it is difficult to save face.
When Ryan saw this invitation, he knew the plot had begun. Uncle Nine took the invitation card and said to Ryan: "Tomorrow, Master Ren will invite me to drink Western tea, but I have never drunk this Western tea." You happened to come from over there, so you'll come with me tomorrow. After eating for a while, you can tell me how to drink this Western tea, so as not to show your ugliness in front of Master Ren tomorrow. Ryan nodded yes.
That night, Uncle Shi took his clients to stay in Yizhuang temporarily. Because Ryan was looking for Qiusheng and Wencai to communicate and practice that day, there was nothing wrong for one night. When he was about to leave at dawn the next day, Uncle Simu knew that Ryan was Uncle Nine's new apprentice, and gave Ryan a pamphlet related to chasing corpses as a meeting gift for the elders. It's just that Uncle Nine warned Ryan that this thing is a side door and should not be indulged. Otherwise, it is easy to go crazy.
Early the next morning, Ryan followed Uncle Nine to the town for an appointment. The people in the town greeted Uncle Nine warmly when they saw him, and it seemed that Uncle Nine had a very good reputation in the town.
When I arrived at the café, Mr. Ren had already booked a seat. Sure enough, Master Ren wanted to ask Uncle Nine about moving the grave, and Uncle Nine repeatedly persuaded Master Ren that it was better to be still. However, at the insistence of Master Ren, Uncle Nine relented and decided to help his father move his grave.
Soon, Master Ren's daughter also came, and she looked even more beautiful than in the movie. However, as the daughter of a rich family who has stayed abroad, her bones reveal a sense of arrogance towards people like Uncle Jiu.
After seeing this, Ryan finally saved face after talking to Miss Ren in a standard London accent about Europe and the United States.
Master Ren also looked surprised, because he couldn't figure out why a student who stayed abroad would learn these things from Uncle Jiu. After that, the order was served with coffee and snacks. Because Ryan was present, Uncle Nine was also spared some embarrassment.
After that, Uncle Nine once again persuaded Master Ren to be cautious about moving the grave, and in desperation, Master Ren said what Mr. Feng Shui told him back then. As a result, Uncle Nine saw the fact that the master was coerced and lured back then.
Seeing this opportunity, Ryan pretended to fold his hands in prayer, attracting the attention of everyone at the table. After that, he said to Master Ren: "Can I show you your coffee cup?" Because I have lived in the West for a long time, I have learned a lot of foreign spells, and some divination is still quite good in the future, I will show you, maybe I can give you a good advice." ”
At this time, the eldest lady of the Ren family also interjected next to her and said: "When I was studying abroad, I heard that there are spells in the West that rely on tea grounds and coffee grounds to divinate the future, and I heard that it is quite smart, but unfortunately I haven't seen it." ”
And Uncle Nine also said beside him: "This new apprentice I have acquired is decent and steady, and he will not be open-mouthed." ”
Hearing Uncle Nine and his daughter say this, Master Ren stretched out his hand and motioned for Ryan to look at his coffee cup. Hopefully, I'll hear what Ryan sees the future look like through Western spells, so that he can make further decisions.
