Before Wen Cai was about to leave, he poured a cup of tea for Uncle Nine and Jiang Xiao before leaving, and Uncle Nine took a sip and said in a deep voice:

"Brother Jiang, listening to your accent mixed with the taste of Shu official dialect, it is also luck to be able to escape here by being tossed, but if you want to go back alone, unless you go to Shaoxing to see if there is a boat to return to Shu through the Yangtze River, maybe your family is looking forward to your return home at this moment."

Speaking of his family, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but feel sad in his eyes, not to mention what era it was at this time, it was estimated that it would be difficult to see his parents again, unless the person who got him here got him back.

"His family is far away, and Jiang Xiao will never be able to see his relatives again in this life."

Jiang Xiao was sad in his heart, and his tone was naturally sad, and Uncle Nine sighed and said:

"So you will rest here for a few days for the time being, do you plan to go back to Shu or just here in Shaoxing or go to Shanghai to work hard?"

江小 says:

"I plan to make some money, whether to return to my hometown or stay, everything depends on chance, Uncle Jiu, I don't know what news the outside world has at the moment, I don't know what is happening outside in Shudi, if I don't know what to do, my little life will be gone."

Uncle Nine said in a long voice:

"Since the Qing Dynasty was gone seven years ago, everyone thought that they would live better, but now that the warlords are divided, and there is chaos everywhere, I and other rural savages are less implicated, and it is a big deal to see those with guns hiding farther away."

It was not even 1920, Jiang Xiao felt even more depressed in his heart, crossing into such a world, couldn't he learn from other time-travelers to become an army? Although he had read a lot of books and was familiar with the traditional characters of this era, his head was not enough.

Jiang Xiao smiled bitterly:

"Is that so? It seems that I can't go anywhere, it seems that I have to find a job in the neighborhood and make plans when I stabilize it. ”

Uncle Nine smiled:

"Well, that's fine, have a good rest after eating, and I'll ask Qiusheng to bring you a set of clothes tomorrow morning."

After Jiang Xiao thanked him again, he chatted with Uncle Jiu, and suddenly he remembered that the statue of Uncle Jiu here was a little special, and he thought about it for a while, when he was a teenager, in order to mix up living expenses in the countryside, he could follow the Taoist priest to open a dojo, draw talismans, chant scriptures, beat gongs and drums, and learned a lot in a mess anyway, but he and other Taoist priests had never seen ghosts and just lived a mixed life.

These three statues are not the Taoist gods enshrined in the temple, nor are they Western Bodhisattvas, Arhats and Buddhas, looking at the dress of ordinary Taoists, he recalled for a while and suddenly said:

"Uncle Jiu is enshrined here as the three Mao ancestors of Maoshan Mountain, right?"

Uncle Nine was stunned, ordinary people don't care what kind of gods they worship, they all worship it, he laughed and said:

"Yes, I am a disciple of Maoshan, there is a senior brother above, and there are many junior brothers, and the Maoshan faction can only do the life of watching feng shui and guarding the dead now."

Jiang Xiao said seriously:

"People don't distinguish between high and low, things don't matter how big or small, Maoshan has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is normal to alternate between rise and fall, Uncle Nine doesn't have to be humble, I also learned to draw talismans to open a dojo when I was young, in fact, I don't know much about it, but I am a trick to deceive, but it is a world of difference from Maoshan authenticity."

Uncle Jiu's eyes lit up, and he carefully observed Jiang Xiao's eyebrows and bones, and said with joy:

"Oh, you've also learned how to draw talismans, I wonder if you can draw a few for me to see?"

Jiang Xiao nodded, and Uncle Nine took out the wolf hair and cinnabar from the side, and after adjusting it, he put a stack of yellow table paper cut into three fingers wide and eight minutes long and placed it on the table.

Jiang Xiao didn't want to show off, but since Uncle Nine had laid everything out, he politely walked to the back of the case, grabbed the wolf three inches above the tip of the pen, and put a piece of yellow table paper on the tip of the pen with the movement of the tip of the pen, and a red curved line quickly went from top to bottom on the yellow table paper.

Uncle Nine looked at the talisman drawn by Jiang Xiao and nodded, but shook his head, he touched his chin and said in a deep voice:

"Five Thunder Talismans....... The heart walks at will, the pen moves with the heart, the beginning of the talisman eye and the end of the talisman are not half a point of mud and water, the person who teaches you to draw the talisman is well versed in the technique of drawing the talisman, but it is a pity that your mind is not strong, the heart is unintentional, there is no mana, and the talisman drawn is not suppressed even if it is the yin qi of the tomb. ”

Jiang Xiao said with a little embarrassment:

"Uncle Nine smiled, in order to make a mixed life, I learned to draw talismans with the old Taoist priest in the village, according to him, drawing talismans can be practiced to become immortals, but he doesn't believe it, anyway, this is handed down by his ancestors, he has never seen ghosts in his life, and the talisman is only taught to me according to the gourd painting scoop."

Uncle Nine touched the beard on his chin, he squinted and pondered for a while and said:

"Jiang Xiao, I just took a closer look at your limbs and found that you are a cultivator, although it is difficult to achieve a lot of achievements when you are an adult, you can comprehend deeper exercises, so let's wait for me to give you a few books, what do you feel after reading it, tell me in a few days, the matter of finding a job will be slowed down for the time being, and if you don't understand anything you don't understand here, you can ask me."

Jiang Xiao nodded hurriedly, before he didn't understand this world, he had to have a foothold, although Uncle Nine was remote here, there must be a market town nearby, he could decide what to do in the future after he carefully investigated.

Whether to live a mediocre life, or to go outside to work hard or lose his head, and also learn these Maoshan knowledge and walk down the rivers and lakes, all of this he needs to wait to understand before he can decide.

After a while, Qiusheng had already prepared a meal, and Uncle Jiu's life here was still very good, with a large pot of plum cabbage and meat, a large pot of vegetable soup and two side dishes.

However, when it comes to eating, whether it is Uncle Jiu or Qiusheng, or Wencai, Jiang Xiao was stunned, the three of them all used the big sea bowl to serve rice, and when they ate the food, it was like a wind and clouds, if it weren't for Jiang Xiao, a few people put a lot of vegetables in his bowl, and it was estimated that when Jiang Xiao ate one-tenth of it, they had already swept the entire bowl on the table.

After wiping his mouth, Uncle Nine sat aside and watched Jiang Xiao eat with a smile and said:

"Several of us practice martial arts every day to strengthen our bodies, and our appetite is very good, Brother Jiang don't laugh."

"Uh...... That's normal, right? ”

Jiang Xiao said and hurriedly ate it, to be honest, he was really a little hungry, which still made him a little strange, he remembered that he had just eaten before playing the game, and the time had just gone for more than two hours, but now he was very hungry.

After eating, Qiusheng needed to go back to the town, he lit a handful of incense and inserted it in the back of the bicycle, Wencai told him that with this guide incense, he would also stun the other party if he met a ghost halfway.

As for the ghosts, even if it is now in the Maoshan disciple's house, Jiang Xiao doesn't believe it very much.
