"Uncle Li, thank you."
"Auntie Zhang, there's no need.”
"Aunt Wang, enough, enough."
The next day, Fang Xiaolong and Ninth Uncle took three yuan and wore coarse linen clothes. They found a wooden two-wheeled handcart from the abandoned tool room in the mortuary and went to town alone to make a big purchase.
When Fang Xiaolong bought the yellow paper, he was recognized by the shopkeeper.
Then, the kind-hearted shopkeeper ran out and shouted on the street,""Ninth Uncle's nephew, Xiaolong, is here!"
Every household on the street came out, but they still insisted on forcing it on Fang Xiaolong. Pork. eggs. Crucian carp.
This was all for Ninth Uncle's sake. Ninth Uncle often came out before. If anyone died in each household and wanted to perform a ritual, they would look for Ninth Uncle.
Fang Xiaolong repeatedly declined. After purchasing the items, he quickly pushed the handcart to the limestone road and returned to the mortuary.
……………
Late at night, in Ninth Uncle's room in the mortuary, a bronze oil lamp flickered with a faint candlelight.
"Wencai, Qiusheng. Tomorrow morning, Xiaolong and I will go to Guan Jia Village on the banks of the Fen River two hundred miles away.”
"The two of you, stay in the mortuary and practice your fist techniques. Don't think about sneaking out when I'm not around.”Ninth Uncle held the Three Pristine Bell in his left hand and a three-foot-long mahogany sword in his right hand. He sat cross-legged on the wooden bed and looked at his two good-for-nothing disciples.
"Yes, Master. "Wen Cai nodded. He was timid by nature and naturally did not dare to disobey Ninth Uncle's orders.
"Master, I want to go to town tomorrow…to visit my aunt.”Qiu Sheng hesitated for a while and scratched his head with his right hand.
"Go out. "Ninth Uncle slowly closed his eyes and waved the Three Pristine Bell with his left hand. He circulated his magic power and emitted waves of blue ripples that were visible to the naked eye.
"Ah! Master, I know I was wrong. Don't shake it, it's giving me a headache!" Qiu Sheng covered his head with his hands. He felt dizzy, his limbs weak, and his head buzzing.
————
On the other side, in Fang Xiaolong's room.
" System, I want to consume the Magic Power Pill.
Fang Xiaolong sat cross-legged, raised his head, and closed his eyes, asking the system in his heart.
Ding! Consumes one Magic Power Pill.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xiaolong saw the space in front of him begin to distort and rotate counterclockwise. A pill the size of a soldier ball flew out from the distorted space and accurately flew into Fang Xiaolong's mouth.
"Clack!" Fang Xiaolong burped and forcefully swallowed it.
In an instant, the pill flowed down the esophagus and into the large and small intestines. When it was touched by gastric acid, it began to dissolve.
Waves of pure mana flowed towards Fang Xiaolong's limbs and bones. After circulating twelve great cycles, it flowed towards the Shanzhong acupoint. Baihui acupoint. The cave in the middle of the human body flows away.
"Awesome! It was so comfortable. This feeling was like smoking white powder.”Fang Xiaolong felt warm all over his body, and he had more strength than before, as if he could kill a tiger with one punch.
Chi!
In order to test it out, Fang Xiaolong raised his right index finger and tapped the brick wall lightly.
A huge hole was pierced through the brick!
"Oh my god, there's not even a scratch.”Fang Xiaolong slowly pulled it out. He looked at his index finger, which was completely unharmed, and exclaimed.
————
At noon the next day, Fang Xiaolong followed his uncle and left the mortuary with a bag filled with dry food and a cowhide water bag.
"Uncle, is the Guan Family Residence far from the mortuary?”
"Not far, only two hundred miles." Ninth Uncle was wearing a Daoist robe. He held the Three Pristine Bells in his left hand and a three-foot-sharp peach wood sword in his right hand.
Not far? Two hundred miles!
Fang Xiaolong followed behind him and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Xiaolong, we're going to the pier. Find a boat. We're going to cross the Fen River.”Ninth Uncle didn't smile. He turned around abruptly and looked at Fang Xiaolong with his stoic face.
"By boat?"
"Yes, a small boat." Ninth Uncle nodded.
————
Fang Xiaolong followed his uncle and ninth uncle and walked thirty miles to a small pier in town. Coincidentally, there was a small boat docked by the pier.
"Boatman? Boatman? We're going to Guan Jia Village on the other side of the Fen River.”Ninth Uncle walked to the dock in his Taoist robe and looked at the wrinkled old boatman in front of him.
"Now?"
"Yes, now. Name your price." Ninth Uncle nodded.
"Two dollars." The old boatman's hands were covered in calluses, and his turbid eyes were filled with numbness and emptiness.
"Alright, Xiaolong, board the ship."
————
Four hours later, in the dead of night, a thin layer of fog began to float in the dark night sky.
"It's not easy. It's foggy." The wrinkled old boatman stood at the bow of the boat with an oar in his hand and looked at the reeds around him.
"Boatman, why don't…we stay on the boat and rest for the night? Tomorrow morning, when the fog has cleared, we will go to the Guan Manor.”Ninth Uncle sat in the cabin and looked at the old boatman's back.
"Alright, that's the only way." The old boatman nodded slightly, put away the oars, and placed them horizontally on the bow.
…………….
At midnight, the sky was filled with fog. The surroundings were pitch-black and silent.
A small boat was quietly docked in the middle of the reeds.
At this moment, a red light visible to the naked eye began to appear on the surface of the river around the small boat. The light was extremely bright, and then the surface of the river began to rotate counterclockwise, forming a small vortex.
Fang Xiaolong was sleeping in a daze, half awake. Suddenly, he was awakened by a rustling sound.
