Qiu Sheng was going to open the door under Ninth Uncle's orders. He was sitting in the middle of the hall with his back to the patriarch, resting with his eyes closed.
Under Qiu Sheng's lead, Zhao Yuan quickly arrived at the main hall. Seeing Ninth Uncle's actions, how could he not know what he meant?
"Ninth Uncle…"
"You still call me Ninth Uncle. You're going to change your name." A smile appeared on Ninth Uncle's serious face.
"Master, please accept my bow!”Zhao Yuan immediately changed his words and kowtowed.
Ninth Uncle nodded in satisfaction." Get up and offer three sacrifices and incense to the ancestor."”
Ninth Uncle was a professional in this aspect, so Zhao Yuan just had to follow his instructions. The entire process only took about fifteen minutes.
"Alright, after paying respects to the ancestor, you will be my third disciple. In the future, you must work hard and study hard. Don't tarnish the reputation of Mao Mountain.”
"Yes, Master." Zhao Yuan replied excitedly.
In his previous life, Ninth Uncle was the childhood memory of a generation. Now that he could acknowledge him as his master, how could he not be excited?
After the ceremony, Zhao Yuan waved his hand and said,"Tonight, the mortuary will hold a Teacher Appreciation Banquet. Everyone, come and attend!”
"Ninth Uncle has taken in a good disciple."
"That's right, that's right. We'll come on time tonight.”
"Haha, I didn't expect to get a free meal. I'm in luck now.”
"I have to hurry back and take a shower.”
"Buttface, you're still so showy. It's not a blind date.”
"What do you know about hammers? If you wash it clean, it'll be easier to hook up with the woman you meet at the banquet.”
……
The crowd was filled with discussions. They were all bootlicking Ninth Uncle or praising Zhao Yuan to the heavens. Of course, there were also some strange things that mixed in.
"Xiaoyuan, do you have enough money to treat so many people?”Ninth Uncle whispered to Zhao Yuan.
Hearing the name Xiaoyuan, Zhao Yuan felt that it was strange. It sounded like a girl's name, but it did not matter.
"It's fine, Master. I just sold the house. I'll focus on learning from you in the future.”Zhao Yuan revealed his big white teeth and smiled.
Ninth Uncle was speechless.
Ninth Uncle could not say anything about this. After all, Zhao Yuan had sold the house before he became his disciple.
If he sold the house after becoming Zhao Yuan's disciple, he would definitely break Zhao Yuan's legs.
Ninth Uncle knew that house. Zhao Yuan had just bought it when he returned to town half a year ago. Now that he had sold it, it was really too wasteful.
However, this kid must have been very successful in the West. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bought such a big house as soon as he came back. He was a talent.
"This kid is not bad looking either. He's destined to be a peach blossom man. Who knows how many women will fall into his hands in the future.”Ninth Uncle counted with his fingers." That's not right. This brat is already twenty-four years old. Why is he still a virgin?”
Ninth Uncle couldn't understand why he had maintained his virginity for twenty-four years despite having the fate of a peach blossom.
"I'm old, I'm old. I don't understand the thoughts of these young people.”Ninth Uncle shook his head and left the hall.
At sunset, the setting sun shone red on the western mountains.
Not far away, green smoke curled up, and the sound of cocks and dogs barking intertwined. The atmosphere was peaceful.
At this moment, the mortuary was very lively. There were a total of 40 to 50 tables.
The dishes on the table were sumptuous, including chicken, duck, fish, and fragrant wine.
The village elders all toasted Ninth Uncle to express their gratitude and wished him a happy student.
This made Ninth Uncle, who had always been a quiet person, extremely happy. Tonight, Zhao Yuan had given him a lot of face.
The banquet gradually dispersed at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening. Ninth Uncle went back to his room to rest because he had drunk a lot.
Looking at Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, who were sleeping like pigs on the ground, Zhao Yuan was speechless. He dragged them into the room and left them alone. He went to sleep on the bed.
The next day.
Zhao Yuan got up early and toasted Ninth Uncle with tea." Master, what cultivation techniques does our Maoshan Sect have? For example, the Art of Longevity, the Light and Dust.”
Ninth Uncle took a sip of tea." Where did you hear all this nonsense from? Our Taoist Faction is particular about talismans and geomancy techniques. We also have some life-preserving techniques. Do you want to learn them?”
"The Art of Longevity is the Art of Longevity?" Zhao Yuan asked again.
"I don't know if I can live forever, but I can live a little longer.”Ninth Uncle placed his hands behind his back." I heard that some Dao Sect seniors can fly into the sky and burrow into the ground. I wonder if it's true or not.”
"The health function allows people to fly?”Zhao Yuan's eyes widened.
"Who knows?" Ninth Uncle glanced at Zhao Yuan." Speaking of which, I'll teach you how to draw talismans today."”
"Yes, Master." Zhao Yuan nodded.
There were ghosts in this world. Learning the art of talismans would give him the capital to deal with ghosts, so there was no reason not to learn it.
"Drawing talismans without understanding will only make ghosts and gods laugh. If you can understand the meaning of the talisman, you will be frightened by ghosts and gods.”Ninth Uncle paced in the hall." So you must learn seriously. Drawing talismans is not an easy thing.”
"A talisman is made up of a talisman head, a talisman gall, and a talisman foot. The talisman head is mainly divided into three types: three hooks, imperial decree, and lightning decree.”
"Master, what are three hooks?"
"The three hooks are the Three Pure Ones or the Duke of Three Realms. The Three Pure Ones are the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi of Yuqing, the Heavenly Lord Lingbao of Shangqing, and the Heavenly Lord Daode of Taiqing. The Duke of Three Realms is the City God, the Earth God, and the Patriarch.”
Zhao Yuan was deep in thought. Uncle Nine continued," The composition of the talisman gall is some secret words. Different secret words have different functions. It's not an exaggeration to say that the talisman gall is the most important component of a talisman.”
"Next, I will talk about the talisman legs. The talisman legs are used to end the talisman gall, and they are also an indispensable part of a talisman. If the talisman legs are drawn well, they can even increase the power of a talisman by 10 to 20%.”
"Master, are the words 'all fighters in front of the army are in formation' a secret word?”
"Yes, but you can't control these nine secret words without decades of cultivation. I'll teach you the secret words of Gang, Jing, Ma and Lei first.”
……
Uncle Nine spent the entire morning explaining how to draw talismans. Zhao Yuan was very serious in his studies and would ask questions if he did not understand.
"Alright, let's eat first and continue in the afternoon.”After lecturing for the whole morning, Ninth Uncle was also hungry.
She ate leftovers from last night for lunch, but for some reason, it smelled really good.
After a month, Zhao Yuan had already learned five kinds of talismans: the Ghost Expelling Talisman, the Ghost Killing Talisman, the Corpse Suppressing Talisman, the Protection Talisman, and the Small Five Thunder Talisman. However, the success rate of forming talismans was only 40%.
Zhao Yuan was very dissatisfied with this talisman success rate, so he buried himself in drawing talismans whenever he had time.
What he didn't know was that Ninth Uncle was actually very pleased that he had a 40% talisman success rate in a month. He felt that he had potential and was more talented than Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.
On this day, Zhao Yuan finished drawing ten ghost-killing talismans. Just as he stopped writing, Wen Cai pushed open the door and walked in.
"Eldest Senior Brother, I'll go to town with Qiusheng later. Do you want to come?”
Zhao Sui thought about how he hadn't gone out much recently, and it was good to go out and relax. He nodded." Okay, let me pack up."”
