"Cinnabar, rooster, peach wood…"
Xu Yan took the list and checked what he had not bought.
"I didn't expect that a ritual would require so many things. It's said that the price of hiring a Daoist to do a ritual is not low. With this cost, if we charge too little or not, we'll definitely lose a lot.”
Xu Yan, Ninth Uncle didn't come today?"
"Do you want two fish? I fished them out of the river this morning. They're absolutely fresh. Look, they're so lively.”
The fish seller was holding a fish with a smug look on his face. He waved it around and said enthusiastically, making Xu Yan feel like he was about to explode. He could only wave his hand repeatedly.
"No, Uncle Wang. There are still a few fish at home. I can't buy them. Master is resting at home.”
Pushing the bicycle, Xu Yan left quickly. Behind him, Uncle Wang and the others were still teasing him.
"Old Man Wang, it's not that I want to criticize you, but look at how you've scared away the great scholars of our Ren family town.”
"Old Man Li, you're bullsh * t! Am I scary? She just wanted him to buy more fish.”
"Forget it."
Xu Yan was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the villagers. A few days ago, he came to buy vegetables for the first time. Uncle Wang sold fish for one and got three free. Second Aunt sold vegetables for one and got a basket free.
Although he was not used to it, the people of this era were really simple and honest.
After checking the items and making sure that he had bought enough, Xu Yan rode his bicycle home. To be precise, he went back to the mortuary.
The mortuary was located in the suburbs of Ren Jia Town. It was very empty and sparsely populated. The roads were uneven. In addition, the vehicle was a bicycle. Xu Yan's butt hurt from the bumps. He was used to going out in a car and had not adapted to it.
"Master, Junior Brother is back."
At the gate of the mortuary, Wen Cai, who was basking in the sun and had nothing to do, saw Xu Yan return and shouted happily. He walked forward to help Xu Yan unload the goods.
"You bought a lot of things this time. Junior Brother, the town is very lively, right? How does it compare to the West?”
Not long after Xu Yan transmigrated, he was picked up by his master, Ninth Uncle, on the day he transmigrated. His identity was defined as an intellectual who had returned from overseas. Because his family had met with an accident, he was taken in by Ninth Uncle alone and became his disciple.
Not only was he brought here by the Merit System, but he was also brought to a pile of dead people. Xu Yan almost peed his pants. Fortunately, these dead people helped him solve his identity problem.
He was an intellectual who had returned from overseas. His entire family had been persecuted by the Horse Gang and all of them had died. He was the only one left. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain who he was and where he came from.
Fortunately, in this era, there was no identity card or anything like that. In addition, the country was vast, and it was very troublesome to check the household registration. This solved many potential problems for Xu Yan.
"Second Senior Brother, you've asked this nineteen times already. The town is naturally different from the West. At least there aren't any blond and blue-eyed Westerners everywhere.”
Xu Yan took the goods off the bicycle and placed them on the ground. He explained helplessly.
Picking up the goods, Wen Cai asked sneakily,""Junior Brother, I heard that all foreign women have curvy breasts. Is that true?”
Xu Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You can't say that. There are big ones and small ones everywhere. It's just that Westerners are generally bigger.”
Sometimes, Xu Yan really wanted to show Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng some videos on his phone so that they could understand what a war between foreigners was!
"There are many foreigners in the provincial capital.”
"What are you talking about? Qiusheng went to the shop?”
Ninth Uncle, who was wearing pajamas, leaned his head over and looked at the two of them. Many times, Xu Yan couldn't tell the difference between pajamas and formal wear in this era because they all looked very similar.
"Eldest Senior Brother has already gone to the shop. Second Senior Brother is curious about whether the foreign girl is very perky, so he chatted for a while.”
In the blink of an eye, Xu Yan sold Wen Cai.
Ninth Uncle frowned unhappily." Are you interested in the Western woman?”
"No, no, master, don't listen to junior brother's nonsense.”
Wen Cai hurriedly shook his head and denied it. He carried the things in his hands and ran into the mortuary. Ninth Uncle couldn't help but sigh. He turned around and rolled his eyes at Xu Yan."You too. You know your second senior brother is simple and honest, but you still tease him. You didn't lose anything, right?”
Xu Yan nodded with a smile." It's not too little. I've bought everything."”
It was just a joke. It was harmless. Xu Yan knew that his master and Ninth Uncle wouldn't be angry over such a matter, so he joked about Wen Cai. Who asked him to be curious? He asked this question countless times a day.
"That's good. Rest well after you practice. Follow me tonight. Wencai will guard the memorial hall.”
Ninth Uncle nodded and turned to walk into the courtyard. He didn't notice Xu Yan's stiff body outside the door.
Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, Xu Yan was still very nervous. He didn't know if this ghost would be very scary.
"By the way, is the Western woman really big?"
Suddenly, Ninth Uncle, who had already walked into the courtyard, turned around and asked. Xu Yan was dumbfounded and nodded his head in shock. It seemed to be really big. At least in this aspect, there was a gap between Chinese women and European women.
"Oh ~~"
Ninth Uncle nodded." Got it."
What was going on?
Xu Yan was speechless. He locked his bicycle and put away the rest of his things in the yard. Then, he began to practice boxing. The boxing was taught by Ninth Uncle. He said that it could strengthen the body. As a disciple of Mao Mountain, it was not enough to just have magical power. He also needed a good body.
After practicing a set of health exercises, Xu Yan was drenched in sweat. He carefully washed his body before returning to his room to rest.
"System."
Lying on the bed, Xu Yan called out the system.
Xu Yan: Male
[Mao Mountain's 20th generation successor: (Mortal)]
[Cultivation Technique: (None)]
[Body Refining: None]
[Charm: (None)]
[Remaining merit points: 0]
A series of 'nothingness' meant that the merit points were zero.
Wasn't merit something that only existed in the Primordial World? Xu Yan did not understand why there was such a thing in the movie world. He only knew that he was poor and did not know anything.
Because he had just become his disciple, Ninth Uncle had not taught him any mantras or talismans. He only had a set of health preserving fist techniques, which could not even reach the level of body tempering.
Sleep, sleep. I still have to catch ghosts at night. Oh, no, I have to be caught by ghosts!!
Xu Yan felt a little nervous when he thought about the ritual with his master at night. His Eldest Brother Qiu Sheng was busy helping his aunt look after the shop, and his Second Brother was stupid and cute. Moreover, the mortuary needed someone to guard it. Xu Yan was a new disciple, so Ninth Uncle planned to bring him to broaden his horizons and then teach him the Tao.
With Xu Yan's current strength, he would be caught by a ghost if he were to perform a ritual. If he had not gone with his master, Ninth Uncle, Xu Yan would not have dared to step aside.
Perhaps his cheat had something to do with being a Taoist priest and catching ghosts and demons. He would know the result at night.
