Chapter Fifty-Eight: Uncle Nine: Hide from the limelight and go away
After all, it is a birthday party, as long as you have a little emotional intelligence, you will take the initiative to avoid utilitarian topics.
Talk about it.
Get to know each other first, and then it will be good to come to the door if you have something to ask for, Li Chenghuang is the idea.
And Uncle Nine will understand, since he sat in the position of the Taipan of Tiandi Bank and was mentioned by a certain patriarch, he understood that this kind of exchange was indispensable.
Since it is a conventional thing, on the premise of not violating conscience, it is convenient for other errands, which can be regarded as attracting more contacts for Maoshan.
The birthday banquet lasted from noon to night, thanks to the restaurant owner's preparation in advance, he did not dare to neglect the matter, and perfectly contracted an unexpected meal, so that all the guests were satisfied.
"Go, immediately arrange someone to renovate the temple of the emperor in this county, gold powder and silver paint, what materials are valuable and what are used."
As soon as the county magistrate Ma came out of the restaurant, he explained the task to the master who had been waiting outside for a long time, and his expression was very serious: "The assets used do not have to go to the public account, they are withdrawn from my house, and they are not allowed to be stingy." ”
Headache heals, foot pain heals.
Where the gods are effective, they will go where to burn incense, which is a normal thing.
Previously, the entire county town was a temple, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Maitreya Buddha, Rulai Buddha, and the four great King Kong ...... The incense is in full bloom, and the golden body is lined up.
Taoist temples are gradually scarce, but after all, there is no shortage of incense offerings, and Taoists can barely live.
On the contrary, the Chenghuang Temple is getting more and more dilapidated, and even the temple is seventy or eighty, and the last time I saw it in the crowd, it was not easy to walk......
Now that the Lord has appeared, he must make up for his dereliction of duty!
There are not a few gentry who have the same idea as the county magistrate Ma, and they all decided to fund the repair of the Chenghuang Temple alone, leaving a good fate, no matter how bad it is, other families can't specialize in the front.

At the same time, Uncle Jiu, an old Taoist priest of Yizhuang who was not very famous in the past, has also completely become a fragrant dumpling.
Although I don't know why the city emperor gave him face like this, but he followed behind to curry favor, yes!
It is completely conceivable that after tonight, Yizhuang, which is located on the outskirts of Renjia Town and used to be avoided, will become very lively.
How will Uncle Nine deal with the hustle and bustle from the world?
The crowd couldn't help but speculate.
On the country road back to Renjia Town.
Meng Fan, Qiusheng, and Ah Wei rode horses and scattered around, while Uncle Jiu, Wencai, Master Ren, and Ren Tingting sat in the spacious carriage.
Because there are outsiders, some things are not easy to say casually, so no one mentions Uncle Jiu's other identity.
Even Ah Wei, who was full of thoughts about Ren Tingting, knew the sense of proportion, and never mentioned half a word about Tiandi Bank to his cousin-in-law.
But even so, I still can't stand Ren Fa's overly enthusiastic words, I originally wanted to get along with everyone as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to get in exchange for estrangement, cough cough, the heart is far away, more utilitarian, less sincere......
Therefore, while smiling and coping, Uncle Nine was thinking about moving, planning to change to a more secluded place to handle the official affairs of the underworld and teach his apprentices.
Midnight.
The voice of the husband was heard from afar.
Wencai and Ah Wei washed and rested, and Uncle Nine went to the depths of the hall alone to offer incense to Master Zu, and then called Meng Fan, who was ready to meditate.
Neither of them smelled of alcohol and was in good spirits.
"Xiaofan, I plan to buy a few more properties and go out to live for a while to avoid the troubles of the world."
Does that mean it's back?
So what should I do......
Without waiting for Meng Fan to speak, Uncle Nine said again:
"You continue to live here, free to help the nearby villagers deal with some troubles."
"Don't worry, before you leave in August, this rumor must have passed, and Uncle Shi will bring Qiusheng and Wencai back again to see if he can help anything."
The birthday banquet was indeed a joy for the guests and the hosts, but near the end, the city emperor appeared, and things changed in an instant!
There must be a lot of people to visit in the follow-up, and the gifts are rich one by one, and the good words are one after another, and the inside story will be inquired about, which will cause a series of troubles and misunderstandings.
"Uncle Shi, don't worry, Yizhuang will be left to me to take care of."
After thinking for a while, Meng Fan nodded.
First of all, with his ability, there is no need to worry about any security issues at all.
Secondly, there is still a period of time before the Zhongyuan Ghost Festival, and there is nothing to do, so it is the same wherever you cultivate, and besides, this is not far from the corpse inn that has become a gambling house, so you can learn more from the predecessors of the ghost king.
In this way, Uncle Nine made a temporary suggestion and helped Meng Fan realize the life that Wencai had always longed for.
The jury is still out on where they will move to the limelight.
According to Uncle Jiu, he wanted to buy two properties, one with excellent scenery for spiritual cultivation and elderly care, and the other close to the provincial capital, which was convenient for selling genuine banknotes and dispatching in the center.
Sure enough, don't look at Uncle Jiu's plain clothes, he still has a little money to spare.
Nothing happened overnight.
Due to rushing, laughing, and drinking a lot of alcohol, Wen Cai and Ah Wei slept until near noon before waking up.
Uncle Nine was rarely angry, and took the initiative to prepare a relatively clear lunch.
The first wisp of purple qi can heal wounds, replenish mana, and also greatly increase people's vitality, so Qiusheng looks more and more energetic, and his skin and temperament are getting better and better.
At the dinner table, Uncle Nine talked about moving.
The first to be surprised was not Wencai, but Ah Wei, a new disciple, why did he leave Renjiazhen?
In previous years, I lived very well, is it uncomfortable?
Immediately afterwards, he hurriedly patted his chest and said that he would resign and go into hiding with his master.
Which one is important, Ah Wei knows it in his heart.
However, Uncle Nine bluntly refused, saying that he was just hiding from the limelight, and by the way, he would deal with the affairs of Tiandi Bank, and he would definitely come back before the Midyear Festival.
Since this is the case, Ah Wei quieted down, looked at Meng Fan with a cheap smile, leaned over his head unconsciously, and said in a fleshy tone: "Senior brother, in the future, only the two of us will depend on each other." ”
"......" Meng Fan.
Thanks to knowing that the orientation of this product is fine, he is keen to be Bai Fumei's licking dog, but his personality is too extroverted and he likes to joke, otherwise, he has to be careful.
Afternoon.
Two ox carts drove away from Yizhuang.
While acting resolutely, he did not disturb too many people, even Ren Fa was kept in the dark and did not know about it.
"Recently, I have practiced more boxing and kicking to lay a good foundation."
Uncle Nine is gone.
After having the happiest birthday in his life, he temporarily "left his hometown", which made Meng Fan regret that he had not yet completed the meeting with the forest chief.
Before leaving, a small yellow croaker was handed over to Ah Wei, so that the big filial son could redeem the house and save his reputation.
"Senior brother, how do you practice?"
Ah Wei asked.
Obviously, Meng Fan's mythical skills are linked to traditional martial arts.
A cultivator.
A martial arts practice.
Can it be compared?
"You don't have a Taoist book, how can you practice ......?"
"Be down-to-earth, find a master with good fists and feet, follow behind to learn, and if you can't find it, you can take a horse step, push-ups, and make two strokes on the caught criminal.
If you practice ordinary martial arts well, you will be able to enter the state faster when you enter the Tao in the future, and you will be able to subdue demons and eliminate demons. ”
Meng Fan was helpless.
Frankly speaking, he will no longer pass on the Emperor's Body Forging Technique to others, because, after passing it on to his own junior brother Jin Maiji, the god general Zhou Cang made it clear that it should not be leaked again.
And after cultivating for such a long time, he also knew that this technique was extraordinary, and if he continued to cultivate, his future achievements would be unpredictable.
What's more, Meng Fan's personality is generous, but he also understands the world, and it is not a good thing to be blind and generous, and it is easy to offend the side of the Dantian Fu Demon Courtyard.
As a disciple of Maoshan, in addition to his master, he can rely on his master, and his biggest backer is Guan Dijun, and the rune he has been carrying in his arms is the biggest hole card.
How much can't you think about it before you destroy the Great Wall?
