Year 3 of the Republic of China, early May, afternoon, Ren Town.
This small town in the south was bustling with people. In this chaotic era, it was not easy to maintain such a peaceful scene. Early in the morning, the sound of hawkers shouting and bargaining with customers could be heard.
"Ninth Uncle! Hello."
"Hello, how's business?"
"It's alright, thanks to you!"
"Master Lin, these vegetables have just been picked. Let me give you some.”
"You're welcome. It's not easy for your small business, so there's no need to spend money.”
Along the way, Ninth Uncle smiled and responded to the villagers one by one. Behind Ninth Uncle was a young man with a crown of hair. He looked like he was in his thirties or forties with some wrinkles on his face, but he was actually in his early twenties. He was one of Ninth Uncle's two disciples, Wen Cai.
"Yo! Wencai, accompany Master to buy groceries!”When the master and disciple passed by a fishmonger's stall, the stall owner greeted Wen Cai warmly. The stall owner was a fishmonger who looked to be in his twenties. His name was Zhang Sheng. He sold fish for a living and was a very warm-hearted man. The people in the town called him Fish Merchant Sheng.
"Yes, recently, the mortuary took in an injured person, so I came out with Master to buy some things to nourish him!”Wen Cai nodded.
When Yu Sheng heard that someone was injured and needed nourishment, he immediately picked up a relatively large fish and handed it to Wen Cai."Hey! This fish was full of vitality. He could bring it back to cook porridge and soup to replenish his blood. It would definitely be fine.”
"No, no, no!" Wen Cai waved his hands and said no three times in a row. His head shook like a drum.
"Why do you dislike my fish?"
"No, his injuries are not ordinary.”Wen Cai shook his head.
The fishmonger was stunned for a moment. He knew that Wen Cai's master, Ninth Uncle, was a Taoist priest." It's not an ordinary injury? Could it be that he was entangled by that thing?"
" No, it's not that. It's because my master was doing something and was careless." Wen Cai wanted to continue, but someone slapped the back of his head.
Pa!
"Aiya! Who hit me!" Wen Cai covered the back of his head and turned around. When he saw that it was his master, Ninth Uncle, he asked in confusion,"Master, why did you hit me?"
"You talk too much! Will you die if you don't speak?"
Ninth Uncle was so angry that he almost fainted from this stupid disciple. He would reveal everything. It was fine if it was a good thing, but he would reveal such an embarrassing thing like catching a ghost and accidentally injuring someone. Bastard.
"I won't die, but I'll suffocate to death…Master!"
"Yes!"
Ninth Uncle saw that Wen Cai still dared to talk back, so he immediately glared at him. Wen Cai had lived with Ninth Uncle since he was young. He was both a master and a father, so he had a high prestige and was even a little afraid. Therefore, after being glared at by Ninth Uncle, Wen Cai immediately withered like a frosted eggplant. He quickly nodded and did not dare to say anything.
"Let's go!"
"Oh!"
Then, Wen Cai lowered his head and followed Ninth Uncle towards the mortuary. The mortuary was located in the suburbs of Ren Family Town, which was quite a distance away from the town center. It would take about ten minutes to get there. Moreover, the mortuary was empty and sparsely populated.
Ten minutes later, the two of them returned to the mortuary. In the hall, they saw a handsome young man in his early twenties holding a book with a yellowed cover.
His name was Jiang Yu. He was the person whom Ninth Uncle had mentioned who had accidentally injured him. It had been some time since he was carried back to the mortuary by Ninth Uncle. He was reading the classic book of Mao Mountain, the Yellow Court Scripture.
"Ninth Uncle, Wencai, you're back from buying vegetables.”Jiang Yu put down the book in his hand and greeted them when he saw that Ninth Uncle and Uncle had returned.
"Yes, little brother, it seems that your expression is not good.”
Ninth Uncle said with a warm smile. He had a very good impression of this young man who had a dignified appearance and had been abroad before. Moreover, after observing him for more than ten days, he found that his character was not bad in general. He was a good seedling for cultivation, and he had the intention of taking him as a disciple.
However, when he thought about how the other party could go overseas to study, it was very likely that he was a rich kid. He did not know what kind of attitude he had towards Taoist priests. If he was rejected, it would be awkward, so he did not dare to mention it.
"I'm much better. Thank you for taking me in, Ninth Uncle. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do.”
Jiang Yu looked at the familiar face in front of him and could not help but feel a little emotional. He was originally from Guangdong Province in China. He could not find a job two years after graduating from university, so he came to Pengcheng to try his luck.
When he was looking for a job, he passed by a small stall on the antique street and bought a pearl the size of a longan. That night, the pearl shone brightly and almost blinded him.
However, when Jiang Yu opened his eyes, he had already arrived in this world. Moreover, it was in a forest outside the Ren family town. One day, he was resting in the temple. Unfortunately, he met Ninth Uncle catching a ghost. Even more unfortunately, the ghost used Jiang Yu as a shield during the fight with Ninth Uncle to block Ninth Uncle's Taoist skills.
Although the ghost was finally destroyed by Ninth Uncle, he was also seriously injured by Taoist skills. Fortunately, Ninth Uncle was a righteous person and would not leave him in the lurch. Otherwise, Jiang Yu would have died long ago.
"It's what I should do. Helping others is helping myself.”Ninth Uncle said with a smile.
In a chat, there were people who would talk to death when they opened their mouths, and there were also people who remembered to eat but not to fight. And literary talent was a combination of the two.
"That's right. If it weren't for my master accidentally injuring you, you wouldn't have become like this.”Wen Cai interjected.
When he opened his mouth, Ninth Uncle was instantly infuriated. He brought up a sore spot and his face darkened." Are you saying that Master's cultivation is not up to par?”
Wen Cai saw that Ninth Uncle didn't look too good and knew that he had said the wrong thing again. He quickly picked up the vegetables he had just bought and ran towards the kitchen." Well, Master, I'll go and cook first."”
"This brat." Ninth Uncle looked at Wen Cai's figure and scolded him with a smile. Then, he turned to Jiang Yu and asked,""Little brother."
"Ninth Uncle, there's no need to be so formal. You can just call me Xiao Yu.”
"Alright then, I'll take it easy. Little Yu, where are you planning to go next?”
After Jiang Yu heard this, he immediately fell silent. The moment he saw Ninth Uncle, he understood that he had transmigrated to a world with all kinds of demons, ghosts, and zombies.
Thinking of zombies and ghosts, Jiang Yu's body could not help but shiver. Therefore, he decided on the spot that in order to live a better life, he had to learn his skills.
If he wanted to learn skills, was there a better choice than taking Ninth Uncle as his master and learning Daoist techniques?
You have to know that Ninth Uncle is known as the village chief of the "Novice Village" by us transmigrators!
Plop!
Jiang Yu immediately knelt in front of Ninth Uncle and said,""I'm not talented and want to take Ninth Uncle as my master.”
