Chapter 43: Blessings and Misfortunes (2-in-1)
"In the future, Lin Daochang will be developed, don't forget our two brothers."
The wind was gusting, and Uncle Nine sent the mansion responsible for reporting the news day and night to the courtyard.
There was a flattering tone in the two's tone.
And Meng Fan saw that Uncle Shi changed his serious expression in the past, squeezed out a smile on his face that he thought he was very kind, and said:
"The two of them came to report the good news, Lin Jiu naturally won't forget it."
"Thank you very much."
The two yin speaks in unison.
Then the man on the left said:
"I won't bother you to talk to your subordinates, and we will reunite with Yin Si in the future."
"Okay." Uncle Nine responded dryly.
But through this conversation, Qiusheng and Wencai both knew that their master was soaring, and even the envoys sent by the City Emperor were so polite.
White mist rises.
The two figures vanished.
"Master."
Wen Cai leaned over with a smile and said curiously:
"What the hell is a good thing?"
Although Qiusheng didn't ask, he looked at it with a blank eye, obviously waiting for the next article.
And Meng Fan had already guessed what was going on, and in order to behave less shockingly, he also set his eyes on it.
Seeing that his nephew was still determined, Uncle Nine nodded secretly in his heart, and did not deliberately sell Guanzi, and said with a smile:
"At present, wars are frequent, and the separatist forces in various provinces are openly and covertly, minting their own silver coins, causing the paper money burned by the people of the yang world to the deceased, and it is also chaotic.
Seeing that if this continues, the banknotes of Hades will become extremely chaotic, and the order will also be impacted, so the big men of the Yin Division got together and discussed.
In the end, it was decided to follow the trend and open the Tiandi Bank in the world, and the managers were called Taipan, although there was no grade, but the authority was not small. β
Looking at the master with a smile on his face, Wen Cai seemed to have opened up the second pulse of Ren Du, and said smartly:
"So, you're always the first Taipan, right? No wonder those two ghosts wanted to curry favor, it turned out to be in charge of the money bag. β
"Hehe, if I die one day, Master, you must take care of ...... more"
"Bastard!"
No matter what the occasion, the talented junior brother can always let Uncle Nine break the defense, even if he is very happy now.
First, as an apprentice, you should consciously shoulder the responsibility of providing for your master's old age, how can you say that you are dead?
Second, when the new official took office, and the follow-up arrangements had not yet been implemented, he immediately hinted at taking care of his own people, which was too ugly.
You must know that when it really comes to that point, you don't need to greet in advance, Uncle Nine will also find a way to take care of the apprentice.
Of course, Meng Fan also knew that Wencai didn't have any bad intentions, he was just a man who loved to take advantage of small things, and he didn't have a brain to speak, so he had the intention to say a few words of congratulations, but when the words came to his mouth, he became like this.
Thanks to Qiusheng, he stood up in time to play the round and said some dry words of blessing.
Meng Fan also chimed in.
Finally, a smile appeared on Uncle Shi's face again, and he didn't bother to pursue Wencai's words.
After a few years, there is still less anger?
Just get used to it slowly.
However, the things that should be told can't be left behind, Uncle Nine stared at Wen Cai, and said in a deep voice:
"This matter should not be hyped up, if it is known to everyone, let the teacher cheat for personal gain, only you ask!"
The autumn birth has changed dramatically, which is reassuring.
Meng Fan is even more so, the person that Uncle Jiu trusts and likes the most now is this precious nephew, so much so that he often envies Senior Brother Qianhe.
"Got it." Wen Cai nodded.
"You'd better really know, because there are no outsiders here, so I can say it frankly as a teacher."
"Yes."
Qiusheng responded.
Wen Cai, who had just been counted, also echoed sullenly.
Turning his gaze to Meng Fan, Uncle Nine encouraged:
"Xiaofan, you are the best talent, temperament, and luck in Maoshan in the past hundred years.
Although it is difficult to get the position of head from the senior brother's lineage, as long as you practice seriously and kill demons, you can also achieve something in the Yin Division in the future. β
As he spoke, his broad hand rested on his shoulder.
"Many of our ancestors in Maoshan are in high positions in the underworld, and this time I was able to get the position of the big class, so they must have contributed a lot."
Earnest teachings, overflowing words.
It is true that Meng Fan has a higher goal and is sure to achieve it, but he really remembered the goodness of his elders, bowed seriously, and bowed:
"The master and nephew have written it down, and they will definitely live up to the high expectations of the uncle, the master, and the sect."
After going through so much, he has a strong sense of identity with Maoshan.
Because of this, the mood is particularly complicated.
Previously, he always thought that the ninth uncle was the master uncle, and his own master was the third junior brother.
But after Yin Si sent the envoy, Meng Fan thought of a play called Zombie Supreme, and Uncle Shi is the Taipan of Heaven and Earth Bank, which is very humane!
Taking into account inflation, according to the situation, choose to increase the amount of the paper appropriately, so that those filial sons and grandsons who buy the real paper can honor their ancestors......
Like how to promote the real underworld currency and let the public recognize it, Meng Fan is not worried, the master has the ability to change the chaos of the underworld coin.
But the bad is the literary talent!
[On the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the ghost door is wide open, and lonely souls and wild ghosts wander the world. Uncle Nine carefully prepared the sacrifices needed for the ghost month, while the apprentice Wen Cai went to watch the ghost show.
Because he didn't know that there were already a group of ghosts gathered around him, and there were more beautiful and picturesque female ghosts secretly plotting, literary and talented, Uncle Nine was helpless, and ordered Qiusheng to go to the rescue, but Qiusheng was not good enough, and he was also confused by Xiaoli's beauty.
As a result, the three masters and apprentices alarmed the ghosts, causing them to escape the control of the ghosts and wander back to the world. In order to prevent the ghosts from endangering the world, Uncle Nine invited the brothers to discuss countermeasures.
Senior brother Shi Jian proposed the Innate Bagua Array, and the two troublemakers Wencai and Qiusheng were responsible for attracting the ghosts out......]
This led to a series of entanglements, and in the end, the brothers turned against each other!
As soon as he thought of that master's terrifying thunder method, Meng Fan was at a loss, he was too angry.
Moreover, the day when the ghost gate was opened somewhat coincided with the time period of accompanying the master to play the pinnacle game.
It depends on whether it's a coincidence!
In addition, there has been a big change in Qiusheng, and when the time comes, I will remind you that there is a certain probability of avoiding a tragedy.
Anyway...... Meng Fan couldn't say.
If Master's side is sure that it will be September, then he can take care of it himself and do his best!
"Uncle Shi believes in you."
In a word, pull Meng Fan back to reality.
Blessings and misfortunes lurk.
At the moment, it is not good to get vaccinated in advance, so as not to sweep the interest of the elders, after all, the new official has taken office.
If I remember correctly, this master once sighed helplessly: "I became the master of the two of you, and I really poured eight lifetimes of mold!" β
Qiusheng changed.
What about literary talents?
Outsiders can't help with this, so they can only guide and persuade, mainly depending on himself.
Forcibly pressing down all kinds of worries, Meng Fan smiled again and proposed: "Uncle Shi is profound, respected in the yang world, and now he has obtained the official position of Yin Division, and he has to celebrate with a good life." β
"It's better to wait for tomorrow, Ah Wei is here, let's have a hearty lunch."
Master Chizuru didn't know which ravine he was driving in;
The four-eyed master was busy chasing away the corpses;
The younger brother of Jia Le lives in Xiangxi.
Master Shi Jian...... Forget it, don't say blessings, it's a good thing not to be angry in your heart, he can't deal with Uncle Jiu.
Now, what can be gathered are the three disciples of the master and uncle, as well as the self who temporarily lives in Yizhuang.
"Why don't you go five days later?"
Qiusheng suddenly spoke up and explained, "Master's birthday in five days. β
"Then wait!"
Seeing that the junior had decided on this matter in a few words, Uncle Nine became more and more happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but enjoy this atmosphere.
Be sure to prepare a gift for Master (Uncle Master) that will make him brain!
Even the most unreliable literary talents began to think about it......
Sizing.
Specially carved small objects for the teacher.
In the blink of an eye, Meng Fan already had a plan in his heart.
In fact, Uncle Nine knew that his nephew wanted to use the best lightning wood to make a peachwood sword, so he told him many times not to waste any more wood, so as not to be almost enough when the time comes.
However, Meng Fan combined with the actual situation and thought that there was still a slight surplus after making the peach wood sword with the remaining materials.
Therefore, it was decided to send a small object after the Ping An buckle, mainly because of the heart.
γGourd pendantγ
Gourd: The homonym of Fulu, with the meaning of Fulu auspiciousness and Fulu.
Not only Taoists, but also Buddhism also respects it as an auspicious holy object.
Moreover, the gourd mouth is small and the belly is large, which means that it can accept wealth from all directions, symbolizing that the treasury is full, and the wealth is blessed, and the wealth is increased.
Shi Bo is the master of Tiandi Bank, and he is in charge of the money bag of the prefecture, which is precisely related to wealth.
The pendant is not big, and the material of a talisman, there is no problem in opening twenty or thirty pieces.
Thinking of this, Meng Fan completely made up his mind:
Carved seven gourd pendants!
It has nothing to do with the gourd little King Kong, it doesn't refer to what [seven flowers on a vine].
Rather, Taoism advocates "seven", where the cultivation of the valley is a multiple of seven, and the beautiful meaning of the seven gourds [seven liters and seven upper] is combined.
Of course, Buddhism also respects "seven", as the so-called saving a life is better than building a seven-level floating slaughter, this floating slaughter refers to the stupa, and the construction of the seven-level floating slaughter is considered by the Buddha to be a meritorious thing.
According to legend, when the Buddha Shakyamuni was born, he walked seven steps in the south, east, west, and northwest, giving birth to lotus step by step, raising his right hand and singing verses:
I am the only one in heaven and the world, and now I have exhausted my past life.
The other side.
Maoshan Mountain, Zongtan.
"Lin Fengjiao actually made a fat difference!"
Outside the palace, Shi Shaojian bumped in, and said in a non-averted tone: "The ancestor is eccentric, whether it is according to the merits of slaying demons and eliminating demons, or Taoism and status, it should be your father to be the master of the Heaven and Earth Bank." β
Hearing this, Shi Jian, who was offering incense to the statue of the ancestor god, turned around, snorted coldly, and reprimanded:
"Bastard, is it up to you to decide the ancestor? Get over here, get on your knees! β
"Daddy......"
"Huh?" Shi Jian's eyes froze.
"Master."
Under each other's eyes, Shi Shaojian's heart trembled.
Maoshan can't help but get married and have children, but there are all kinds of restrictions on the position of the head of the family, so there is no father-son status between them, and they are not allowed to shout so in Maoshan.
Seeing his own flesh and blood kneeling on the ground, Shi Jian sighed in his heart, no matter what other colleagues, anyway, the position of the head of Maoshan is only allowed to be passed on from master to apprentice, and it is forbidden to pass it on from father to son!
Otherwise, wouldn't Sanmao Zhenjun Dao Tong become a family?
Therefore, Shi Jian recognized this son in his heart and doted on him, but he did not give the title of father and son.
It is precisely because of this that among the new generation of Maoshan disciples, Shi Shaojian, who was the first to enter the Tao and was often assigned by the head to teach secret methods, is very likely to win the championship in one fell swoop and become the next head in the Maoshan ceremony.
As for testing private morality?
In the eyes of Shi Jian, the head of the family, his son is just a little ignorant, and he will exercise in the future, and when he inherits the position of the head, he will become the same person as himself.
Presumably, the patriarch has acquiesced in this.
Otherwise, why not lower the warning?
Shi Jian thought secretly, and at the same time said in a quiet tone:
"Where blessings and misfortunes depend, and where misfortunes and blessings lurk."
"The two apprentices of Senior Brother Lin Jiu, who have seen them as teachers, are all things that are not enough to succeed and more than to fail, the Tiandi Bank was initially established, and it seems to be gradeless, but in fact, it has great power, and if you are not careful, you will go on a business trip."
After speaking, the head of Maoshan, who was proficient in Lei Fa, changed his words and advised:
"Good life cultivation, the year-end ceremony must win the dignity and integrity, and you can't let the elders or even the same year be dissatisfied."
"Please rest assured, Master." Shi Shaojian clenched his fists and said excitedly: "I will definitely show the demeanor of my own senior brother, and with my ability, I will completely impress all the junior brothers." β
"Hmm."
Shi Jian looked at his son, who was kneeling on the ground, and encouraged: "Among those junior disciples who are teachers, the most outstanding ones are Lin Jiu, Simu, and Qianhe. β
"Lin Jiu's two apprentices, one is stupid and the other is stupid, don't mention it, the apprentices of the four eyes have not been awarded so far, as for Qianhe......
His eldest apprentice admired the foreign at a young age, and went to the West to study, hum! It must also be a thing that doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it. β
When the father and son turned their backs to taunt their fellow disciples, they did not notice the change in the idol of the true monarch.
Da Mao Zhenjun, who is responsible for Taiji, assists Emperor Zuo Dongyue in the three major affairs of the Three Realms, protects the country and the people, is in charge of the period of life and death in the world, and Fulu official affairs.
At this moment, the expression was displeased.
Sanmao Zhenjun, ranked as the hero of the Nine Palaces of the Earth Immortals, assisted the Emperor Dongyue to govern the affairs of the underworld, led the life of the people, persuaded Tong Meng, taught the female officials, bestowed all the wonderful spirits, governed the hundred ghosts, and the gate of the Zhenyin Palace.
Right now, his brow is furrowed.
Ermao Zhenjun wanted to speak and stopped, because Maoshan was actually her place of governance!
β¦β¦
Early morning.
"Master punishes evil and promotes good, kills demons and eliminates evil, and protects the safety of one party, and now it has become a big class of heaven and earth bank, connecting the two worlds of yin and yang, and blessing people and ghosts, which is really gratifying."
Ah Wei smiled and complimented, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, quickly sell the house, and go to the provincial capital medicine store to buy a century-old ginseng before Uncle Jiu's birthday, not to mention five hundred years, two or three hundred!
"Don't make a noise, remember to come and have a light meal at noon." Uncle Nine advised.
"Quiet? Master, don't you sell genuine money, isn't it better for more people to know about it? β
Ah Wei was puzzled, and Qiusheng and Wencai, who were eating, also listened.
"Yin Si will inform the disciples of the Dao Sect in the Yang Realm, and there is no need to make a noise about this matter, and it will take time to change customs."
Hearing this, Meng Fan was not surprised.
He has always believed that Shi Bo can handle this matter well, and there is no need to worry.
In addition, the reason why Uncle Nine is reluctant to speak out is mainly because he doesn't want to be disturbed by the laity-
What if the villagers knew that there was a powerful figure living in this town?
Ascend to Mien, fight Mi Qiu!
Everyone is a neighbor, and for you, it's just a little thing, and you don't want to help? What a conscience!
The reason is inexplicable.
In order to avoid this situation, Uncle Nine repeatedly warned that this matter should not be spread outside.
