Chapter 9 Visiting the Ninth Uncle
Chen Mu immediately left the yamen and walked slowly along the long street.
He thought in his heart that Master Ren's daughter Tingting seemed to have just returned from the provincial capital.
Chen Mu remembered that when Master Ren was talking to Uncle Nine in the tea restaurant, he mentioned it.
said that his daughter had just returned from the provincial capital, and she was teaching people makeup everywhere.
And Ren Tingting is just about to arrive now.
In other words, the timeline of their entry into the dungeon world is likely to be a little earlier than the beginning of the movie.
"Just check it and you'll find out."
Chen Mu had already inquired about the address of Yizhuang, where Uncle Nine was located.
In a hurry, he hired a rickshaw.
In less than half an hour, we arrived at Yizhuang.
During the day, Yizhuang is quiet.
Chen Mu returned the coachman's money, held the silver box, walked to the gate of Yizhuang, and knocked lightly on the knocker.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk".
Chen Mu knocked on the door a few times.
A familiar voice came out.
"Who?"
It was the voice of Uncle Jiu's apprentice, Wencai.
Chen Mu hurriedly said, "Is Uncle Nine here?" ”
After a while, the door opened.
Wencai, who looked a little obscene, leaned out of the door with half of his body, and when he saw that it was a stranger, he was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Who are you? Early in the morning, what is the matter with my master? ”
Chen Mu hugged his fist at him and asked, "Hello, is Uncle Nine here?" ”
Wen just wanted to speak.
At this moment, a majestic voice came from the inner room.
"Wencai, what's the matter?"
Wen Cai turned around at this time and shouted into the room: "Master, there is someone here who said he was looking for you." ”
Chen Mu's gaze crossed Wencai.
Then I saw Uncle Nine walking out of the inner room with his hands in his hands.
Coming to the gate, Uncle Nine slightly looked at Chen Mu, who was wearing a shirt and slacks.
Seeing that he was dressed differently from the others, he asked politely.
"Little brother, do you have anything to do with me?"
Chen Mu immediately respectfully hugged his fist at Uncle Jiu, bowed slightly, and said.
"My name is Chen Sheng, and I came here to apprentice today."
Wen Cai was extremely surprised when he heard this, "Do you want to worship my master as a teacher?" ”
He said happily.
"Master, someone has come to apprentice to you!"
"Apprenticeship?"
Uncle Nine frowned slightly when he heard this, and he was a little stunned.
He glanced at Chen Mu a few times again, and said puzzledly, "This little brother, it looks like he should be from the provincial capital or abroad." ”
"You said you want to worship me as a teacher, why is that?"
Chen Mu knew that if he wanted to worship Uncle Jiu as a teacher, it would definitely not be something that could be achieved in two or three sentences.
He said in a sincere tone: "Uncle Jiu guessed accurately, I have been studying abroad before, and I only came back recently. ”
"Don't hide it from Uncle Nine, although I have been studying abroad for a long time, under the influence of my father, I have been very interested in things like Guoshu and Taoism since I was a child."
"After I came back from abroad, I have been hearing people mention that Uncle Jiu, you are superb in Taoism, and you are a decent person, and you have won praise from neighbors near and far, and I have admired you for a long time."
"I made a special trip to the door today, just to come to apprentice, please Uncle Nine must accept me as an apprentice."
Chen Mu bowed sincerely.
"Hmm......"
Uncle Nine frowned slightly when he heard this, and fell into deep thought slightly.
He obviously had his own concerns, and he didn't easily agree because of Chen Mu's words.
"It's really strange, there are still people who take the initiative to come to the door to apprentice these years, senior brother."
At this moment, another slightly familiar voice came.
Chen Mu was slightly stunned.
It turned out to be the junior brother of the ninth uncle, the four-eyed Taoist!
He hadn't even set off to drive the corpse yet?
The moment the four-eyed Dao Leader appeared, Chen Mu knew.
I guessed right.
He still remembers that before the movie opened, Qiusheng pretended to be a zombie to tease Wencai, and left before dawn.
And now that the four-eyed Taoist has not left, that means.
They enter the timeline of the dungeon world of Mr. Zombie on the morning of the opening of the movie.
Almost a full day early.
At this time tomorrow, Uncle Nine will take Wencai to the tea restaurant to meet with Master Ren and talk about the coffin relocation and burial.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.
The timeline turned out to be nearly a day earlier than he expected, which would be even more beneficial for his next actions.
Chen Mu hurriedly bowed slightly to the four-eyed Dao Chief.
"Boy Chen Sheng, I've seen the Taoist."
"Hmm......"
The four-eyed Taoist nodded and stepped forward.
He looked at the senior brother on the side and said with a smile, "It's really rare to see such a young man who is respectful and polite to us who are learning the Tao. ”
"Senior brother, don't you think about it?"
Even the four-eyed Taoist was on the side to help Chen Mu speak, but to his surprise, Uncle Nine still shook his head.
The four-eyed Taoist was a little puzzled.
"Senior brother, why is this?"
"In this day and age, there are almost no young people who are willing to learn from teachers, and if this continues, inheritance will become a problem."
"I think this little brother is very good, senior brother, you really don't think about it?"
The four-eyed Taoist said the reason why he was helping Chen Mu speak.
Uncle Nine pondered for a moment before he looked at Chen Mu and said to him solemnly.
"Don't hide it from my little brother, you must learn the Tao from childhood, just like the two apprentices around me both followed me to learn the Tao at a very young age."
"But even they, who have been with me for so long, still only learn a little bit about it."
Uncle Nine glanced at Chen Mu a few times, "I see that the little brother is over 18 years old this year, and he is really a little old, plus now that the Taoist technique has declined, no one wants to learn this now." ”
"I really don't want to live up to my little brother's intentions, so I can't accept it, little brother should please go back."
After hearing this, Chen Mu was suddenly a little awe-inspired.
Uncle Nine is indeed a broad-minded Taoist master.
But Uncle Nine miscalculated one point, which was the main purpose of his apprenticeship.
In order to be able to justify the name and enter the Yizhuang without arousing the suspicion of the ninth uncle.
He is mainly to complete the main task released by the system, and it doesn't matter if he learns Taoism or not.
Chen Mu immediately said sincerely: "Don't hide it from Uncle Nine, I already knew this before I came here. ”
"I worship Uncle Nine as a teacher, and more importantly, I admire Uncle Nine for your personality."
"Even if I can't learn the skill of catching ghosts and demons, I can learn the truth of dealing with people from Uncle Nine, and I am already satisfied."
"Uncle Nine, I really sincerely want to worship you as a teacher, and please ask Uncle Nine to accept me as an apprentice!"
Uncle Nine was quite surprised to hear it.
He didn't expect that his refusal just now still didn't make the young man in front of him retreat.
And Chen Mu's words also made Uncle Nine look at him a little differently.
The four-eyed Taoist on the side was quite envious of someone who insisted on worshipping his senior brother as a teacher, and he was also helping to speak.
"Little brother has said everything for this part, senior brother, take him."
Wen Cai also chimed in and said, "Yes, master, I also want to have a little junior brother." ”
Uncle Nine was silent.
Even though his junior brother was also on the side to help intercede, what he had just persuaded Chen Mu was his heartfelt words.
Chen Mu's age has missed the age of the best way to learn the Tao, even if he has made it clear that he can't learn the skill, it doesn't matter.
But what kind of person is Uncle Nine.
This kind of delay in other people's things, even if others ask for it, he will definitely not frown and let go of it.
Thinking of this, Uncle Nine spoke calmly and slowly.
"Little brother, I'll tell you frankly, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, at this time, Chen Mu had already respectfully knelt down on one knee towards Uncle Jiu.
And he held up the small silver box in his hand respectfully.
"Uncle Nine, I really sincerely want to worship you as a teacher!"
"I won't apprentice in vain!"
"This is 500 oceans, it is the tuition fee of the apprenticeship, please accept it from Uncle Nine!"
"Please also ask Uncle Nine, you must accept me as an apprentice!"
Chen Mu said as he opened the silver box.
I saw two hundred oceans of white flowers inside, plus the top three big 100-yuan silver tickets, lying there eye-catchingly.
is a literary talent who is more greedy for money, and his eyes are about to fall out.
The four-eyed Taoist opened his mouth in surprise, and he couldn't close it for a long time.
