"Greetings to your Senior Brother. He is the eldest disciple of your Senior Uncle One Eyebrow.”
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed brought Jiale to Mao Li and introduced him.
"Greetings, Senior Brother. You must be the Eldest Senior Brother who my master often mentioned was very talented in Dao techniques. I've wanted to see you for a long time, but you're not willing to bring me along because of my low cultivation.”
Jiale was very happy to see Mao Li. Although he had never seen Mao Li in person, he had a certain understanding of Mao Li's deeds from Daoist Priest Four Eyes.
After all, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed often passed by Ninth Uncle's memorial hall, and the two of them often exchanged letters.
"You must be Martial Uncle's precious disciple, Jiale. I've often heard Martial Uncle Four-Eyed praise you.”
Mao Li's words immediately made Jiale feel overwhelmed.
"I didn't expect Master to praise me like this outside."
Jiale scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed did slap Jiale's head and reprimanded him.
"If you know that Senior Brother is here, why don't you go catch two fish and bring some game back to cook a good meal? Don't tell me you still want Master to go!”
Daoist Priest Four Eyes didn't want Jiale to see him blushing, so he pretended to be angry and shouted at Jiale.
"I'll go now, I'll go now. How can I let Master go? I'll go now.”
Jiale hurriedly grabbed the bucket and ran out.
Jiale was very clear about Daoist Priest Four-Eyed's sharp tongue and soft heart.
However, he didn't have the guts to talk back to Daoist Priest Four-Eyed.
"Martial Uncle, you and my master's personalities are really similar.”
Mao Li looked at Jiale, who was running away to catch fish, and said to Daoist Priest Four-Eyed.
"Your master is the person I respect the most other than my master. Moreover, among all of us, only I have the best relationship with your master and Junior Sister Zhuang Gu.”
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed straightened his face when he said this.
The respect he had for Ninth Uncle, his senior brother, came from the bottom of his heart. Daoist Priest Four-Eyed, who was just as concerned about his reputation as Ninth Uncle, was not afraid that Mao Li would laugh at him.
Often, one had to have the courage to say it out loud when admiring someone.
If he hid it in front of the younger generation, it would be as if he had bought an idol that he admired so much that he couldn't bring it out.
"I also admire my master very much. In my heart, my master has always been such a righteous person. In order to learn Taoist skills, he even swore to kill all the evil spirits in the world and gave up his lifelong happiness. However, good people have good karma.”
"By the way, Martial Uncle, my master is called Lin Jiuying. Everyone calls my master Ninth Uncle or Daoist Priest One-Browed, but everyone calls you Daoist Priest Four-Eyed. Moreover, very few people know my master's real name.”
Mao Li had been interested in this for a long time.
"This can be considered a title. It is obtained based on some of the characteristics of the person. The purpose is to not let others know your real name. Because at our level of strength, it is often a battle between experts. Every move is fatal. If your name is accidentally leaked and your enemies know, they will use your name to deduce your birth characters and then cast a spell on you, causing you to die unknowingly. This kind of title is not only popular in our Taoism, but also in Buddhism. Look at the old monk who lives next to me, because he worships your master as much as I do, he gave himself the title of Master Yixiu. After decades, even I don't know his real name.”
Taoist Priest Four-Eyed explained to Mao Li why every Taoist priest and master with profound magic power had their own title, which was to prevent evil spirits from harming them.
"Why? Didn't your master give you a title? Logically speaking, with your strength, if your master didn't give you a title, you should just think of one!”
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed thought for a moment and realized that Mao Li didn't seem to have a title.
"Yes! My master didn't give me one, and I don't seem to need it.”
Mao Li smiled awkwardly.
As for why he didn't use it, it was because Uncle Nine had already sent Mao Li's birth characters to the Ghost Emperor in the South when Mao Li was young. If anyone wanted to use this to harm Mao Li, the Ghost Emperor in the South would immediately detect it and turn the spellcaster into ashes. Therefore, Mao Li didn't have to worry about this. After all, there was a god protecting him. Although Mao Li was unwilling, he couldn't do anything!
"Master, I caught two fish, a wild pheasant, and a river deer. I'll go and cook immediately. We'll be able to eat them very soon.”
It was almost noon when Jiale returned with a full harvest.
Mao Li looked at Jiale's prey and was a little envious. After all, these things were all natural and harmless wild good things!
"I see it. Hurry up and go."
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed had always maintained a strict attitude towards Jiale, not revealing a single smile.
Even their style was the same. The best piece of clothing that Jiale was wearing now was brought back by Four Eyes and begged Daoist Priest Four Eyes for eight years before Daoist Priest Four Eyes gave it to Jiale recently.
"Martial Uncle, aren't you being too strict with Jiale?”
Mao Li couldn't stand the way Daoist Priest Four-Eyed was educating him. Although his master, Ninth Uncle, often treated Wen Cai like this, Ninth Uncle knew his limits and had a limit in his heart. Daoist Priest Four-Eyed, on the other hand, didn't have any confidence in his limits.
"Sigh! I want to too! But Jiale has been following me since he was ten years old. Now that he's eighteen, he's still so honest. He's as ignorant and lazy as a literary talent in Daoism.”
Four Eyes was also suffering.
From the way Daoist Priest Four-Eyed spoke to him from the bottom of his heart, Mao Li knew that Daoist Priest Four-Eyed placed him in the same generation, even if the seniority in reality could not be messed up.
"At least you can bring Jiale out to see off clients! Let Jiale learn more, he can still help you a lot on the road. Now that you are getting older and older, if you let Jiale go out one day when you can't chase the corpse away, I'm afraid that Jiale won't be able to find the exit of this forest. Or you want Jiale to be a savage in this forest!”
Mao Li was now a bystander, so he had a clearer view of Daoist Priest Four-Eyed.
