Chapter 3 Apprenticeship to the Ninth Uncle
It's so domineering, the Taoist priest didn't even ask Jiang Youda their opinion, and directly changed their names.
But Jiang Youda doesn't have any opinions.
"Change it! Just don't make me beg in the future. Jiang Youda thought to himself. At the same time, make up your mind to:
"But in the future, I will change the name of someone else if I don't agree with him."
That's it, Jiang Youda, and the two followed the Taoist priest away.
The Taoist priest took the rounds and walked to a remote house. From a distance, this house occupies a large area, but it is a little dilapidated, as if it has fallen into disrepair.
However, to Jiang Youda's surprise, when the Taoist priest pushed open the door and led them in, at a glance, there were coffins in the courtyard and in the house.
Seeing this, Jiang Youda was a little worried, wouldn't it be a thief's den? Looking at people's clothes now, it is probably the Republic of China era, and there will be no selling kidneys and livers, right? You really shouldn't be greedy.
Just when Jiang Youda was thinking about it in his heart, Wencai (Shi Zike) didn't have such a serious concern, and asked with some trepidation: "Dao Chief, what are you doing?" Why are there so many coffins here? ”
Hearing this, Jiang Youda also showed a curious gaze and looked at the Taoist priest.
"This is Yizhuang, how can there be no coffin?"
I saw that the Taoist priest should have said: "I am the 73rd generation descendant of the Maoshan faction, known as the ninth uncle." In the future, you will be the seventy-fourth generation of the Maoshan faction. ”
"Maoshan, Uncle Jiu, Yizhuang, and Wencai, is this the world of "Mr. Zombie"?"
Hearing the words of the Taoist priest, that is, the ninth uncle, Jiang Youda thought of it in his heart.
Originally, Jiang Youda had been thinking about what kind of world this was, but he had no clue. Until the Taoist priest called himself the ninth uncle, and combined with the various traces in front of him, Jiang Youda was eighty percent sure that this was the world of "Mr. Zombie"!
At this moment, Jiang Youda doesn't have to worry about whether he will be dug out of his heart and lungs next. You must know that in the movie, Uncle Nine is a good Taoist with a sense of justice.
Jiang Youda watched this movie at home during the summer vacation of that year and was very impressed by it. The main story of the movie is that the rich and noble man Ren was instructed by Mr. Feng Shui at the time of his father's funeral that he must be buried in a coffin twenty years later, so he asked the local Maoshan master and the ninth uncle to help with this matter. On the day of the coffin, it was found that the cemetery of the old lady Ren was a green fly point***, and his body had no signs of decay in the past 20 years. The ninth uncle was suspicious, so he transported the coffin to the Yizhuang where he went.
Later, the corpse of the old lady Ren turned into a zombie, and even killed the old man, and the ninth uncle thought that Ren Tingting, the daughter of the old man, was in danger, and took him into his house to live.
Nine uncles and two apprentices, Wencai, Qiusheng admired Tingting, and because of this, he had a dispute with Ting's cousin. One night, Wen Cai was injured by a zombie in order to protect Ting, and was poisoned by the corpse, so that he slowly became a zombie, fortunately, the corpse poison can be solved by glutinous rice, but the glutinous rice used by Wen Cai to remove the corpse poison contains other miscellaneous rice, so it is ineffective.
On the other hand, Qiusheng was also fascinated by the female ghost Xiaoyu, and was fortunately rescued by Uncle Jiu, who also found out that there was miscellaneous rice in the glutinous rice, so he selected the glutinous rice and boiled it into glutinous rice porridge, saving Wencai. Because the zombies killed people one after another, causing a surge of crowd emotion, so the head catcher, Uncle Jiu, Wencai, Qiusheng and Tingting worked together to eliminate the zombies.
……
No matter how Jiang Youda thought about it in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, and followed Uncle Nine to the front of the lobby.
I saw that there was an offering table in front of me, and the offering table was lit with incense, and the bottom was full of incense ash, and it was perennial incense at a glance. There are also Tai Chi gossip painted on the wall, if there are no coffins around, it really looks like a dojo.
I saw that Uncle Jiu first put on a stick of incense, and then looked around at Wencai, Jiang Youda and the two said: "It's getting late today, you two boil a basin of water by yourself tonight, wash it well, and officially worship me as a teacher tomorrow, do you have any opinions?" ”
"Nope!"
Jiang Youda and the two replied in unison. Now that it has been determined that Uncle Nine is sincerely accepting himself as an apprentice, how can Jiang Youda disagree? As for the literary talents? He never thinks so much about his lack of roots.
……
Although the Maoshan faction is now in decline, none of the nine uncles have been saved by collecting disciples to burn incense and bathe, kowtow and salute, worship the ancestors, salute the tea ceremony, and admonish the master.
Uncle Nine may be the first time to accept apprentices, and his spirit is a little excited, although there is no one who comes to watch the ceremony, but he will command Jiang Youda and the two to do this, and Jiang Youda and the others will do that. It's not too tired, and it's fun to play alone.
But this is bitter Jiang Youda and the two, it was good to take a bath at the beginning, Jiang Youda didn't take a bath for a few days, and the water was changed three or four times before it was cleaned.
But Uncle Nine disliked Jiang Youda and the two of them for washing slowly, and it was not clean, so he finally took a brush to rub Jiang Youda and the two of them in the bath, don't look at Uncle Nine looks very thin, but the strength in his hands is not weak at all. Jiang Youda began to wonder if Uncle Nine treated them as pigs, and he was in pain all over.
However, although the process was painful, when Jiang Youda came out of the bucket refreshed, he only felt that the suffering was worth it.
However, Jiang Youda was happy a little early, and then not only did he have to kowtow when he bowed to his teacher, but he also had to kowtow when he visited the ancestors of the past dynasties, and he also had to serve tea......
Even so, Uncle Nine complained that the conditions did not allow it, and many processes were streamlined.
……
"Maoshan faction, created by Sanmao Zhenjun in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, hence the name. majored in scriptures such as Shangqing, Lingbao and Three Emperors, but unfortunately most of them are now lost. Worship the Yuan Shi Heavenly King, Taishang Dao Jun, Taiwei Heavenly Emperor, Hou Sheng Jinque Emperor, Taishang Laojun and other supreme gods, advocating thinking about God, chanting scriptures, cultivating merits, and cultivating Bigu, guiding and Zhaijiao......"
After the tea, Uncle Nine found a stool to sit down, and while drinking tea, he told Jiang Youda and the two about the glorious history of the Maoshan faction, and established a correct outlook on life and values for Jiang Youda and the others. To put it simply, it is brainwashing education.
I only heard Uncle Jiu say in a sprinkled manner: "In the fifth year of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty (44 BC), the three brothers of the Mao family in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province came to Maoshan to collect medicine and alchemy, help the world and save the people, and are known as the patriarch of Maoshan Taoism. Tao Hongjing, a hermit in Qiliang, founded the Maoshan School of Taoism. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, Maoshan has been listed as the "first blessed land" of Taoism, and the eighth cave heaven is "............"
……
Uncle Jiu's long speech, Jiang Youda, who only listened to it, had numb legs and was drowsy, but he had to cheer up.
You must know that this is not the 21st century, in the 21st century, when school leaders speak on the stage, students can listen to it or not, no one will care, at most the teacher will say two words to you.
But in the old society, if the apprentice was distracted in front of the master, he would feel that you, the apprentice, did not respect the master, and slowly marginalized you in the future; At worst, you will be expelled from the division.
has been mixed in the last world for decades, and Jiang Youda is clear about it. Therefore, when Uncle Nine spoke, he did a lot of superficial work, and he looked attentive. As for the heart? Jiang Youda can only "hehe".
Wencai doesn't have Jiang Youda's cheating, from a beggar to an apprentice, Wencai cherishes this opportunity very much, plus he didn't know much before, so Jiang Youda felt bored listening to things with relish, and he didn't even care about his legs that were numb because of standing for a long time.
……
Finally, after more than an hour, Uncle Nine finally ended his speech. Then he stood up and said to Jiang Youda and the others: "Today, the two of you join my Maoshan faction, and there are no complicated rules, but in the future, you must respect the teacher, care for the senior brother, and do not bully ordinary people with Taoism, otherwise you will be expelled from the division at the least, and you will be abolished directly by the teacher, can you do it?" ”
"The disciple can do it."
Jiang Youda and the two replied in unison. Nonsense, is there a second answer to this question?
"How old are you?" Uncle Nine continued to ask.
When Jiang Youda heard this, he just meant to distinguish between senior brothers, and this time he couldn't give up the position of senior brother again, so he asked Wencai: "Wencai, how old are you?" ”
"Ten years old." Wen Cai didn't appreciate Jiang Youda's sinister intentions, and answered Jiang Youda directly.
"Oh! Then I'm older than you, and I just turned eleven last month. Jiang Youda replied as he should be.
Hearing Jiang Youda's words, Uncle Nine directly clapped his hands and said: "Wude, in the future, you will be the senior brother, and Wencai will be the junior brother." ”
Then Uncle Nine solemnly took out a book from his arms, wrapped it in a fine yellow cloth, and wrote "Maoshan Basic Introductory Mental Method", which looked very ancient. said: "This "Maoshan Basic Introductory Mental Method" has been handed down by a senior of my Maoshan predecessor, Tongming Zhenren, for more than 2,000 years, and has always been a compulsory mental method for my Maoshan School introductory disciples.
"But, master, I don't know how to read."
Just when Uncle Nine was about to hand over the "Maoshan Basic Introductory Method" to Jiang Youda and the others, Wen Cai suddenly interjected.
Hearing Wen Cai's words, Uncle Nine had a little headache, and then looked at Jiang Youda with expectant eyes.
But Jiang Youda was also destined to disappoint Uncle Jiu, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Master, I don't know how to read." ”
In fact, Jiang Youda knows words, even if this is a traditional Chinese character, but there is not much difference between traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters, and Jiang Youda has lived in the world of "Ip Man 2" for decades and has long been familiar with traditional Chinese characters. Although it is a bit cumbersome to write it out with a brush, basic literacy is absolutely no problem.
But Jiang Youda is a beggar who is only a teenager, there are not many literate people at this age, and Jiang Youda is young, can you not let Uncle Nine doubt Jiang Youda's identity?
Now that Uncle Nine is accepting apprentices for the first time, he may be a little inthoughtful, and now Jiang Youda says that he is literate Uncle Nine may feel that it is easy to make trouble, but when Uncle Nine calms down and thinks about it carefully, he will feel that Jiang Youda's identity is problematic.
Just think about it, how can a ten-year-old beggar be literate under normal circumstances? And Jiang Youda can't afford to investigate - everything before him is blank.
Therefore, in order not to let Uncle Nine think that Jiang Youda had ulterior motives, Jiang Youda could only learn the words again.
