Phew...
Phew...
Qiu Sheng was in a horse stance, with a stone hanging from his waist, especially under his buttocks. The lit incense made him dare not squat down.
She squatted down slightly, and the burning incense directly burned her butt.
The cold current pressed against his back as he panted heavily.
Especially when he saw Wen Cai casually wandering around, it made him feel a little unbalanced.
"Master, what do you think of Wencai? He was very agreeable. Why didn't he let him cultivate?”
Hmm?
When Ninth Uncle heard this, he raised his eyebrows and scolded softly,"Wencai, don't just stand there. Come and practice.”
Wen Cai grinned and ran over.
As he ran, his shoulder-length hair rose and fell like waves, looking extremely comical.
"Master, Martial Uncle said…seeing how hard I'm working, he won't let me practice for the time it takes ten incense sticks to burn.”Wen Cai came in front of Ninth Uncle and laughed foolishly.
An incense stick worth of time?
It was only half an hour.
After he finished practicing, he could go to the town to play.
When he thought of this, he was extremely excited.
As he spoke, he made a face at Qiu Sheng, showing off his treatment.
"Oh?"
When Ninth Uncle heard this, he raised his head and looked behind Wen Cai. He asked with interest,"Are you sure you want to follow your Martial Uncle's suggestion and practice for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?”
Wen Cai nodded." Of course. I wonder if Master will agree?”
"Yes, how can I not agree?”Ninth Uncle laughed heartily.
"Junior brother, I agree." Qiu Sheng, who was beside him, endured the pain and shouted at the top of his lungs.
When Wen Cai saw this, he scratched his head in embarrassment and made a gesture with his hands." Thank you, Master. Thank you, Senior Brother, for your help…One day? Just for this day, just for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.”
"No!" Ninth Uncle waved his hand." Don't just do it today. We can even burn an incense stick every day in the future?"”
As he spoke, he revealed a sinister smile.
Because behind Wen Cai…Lin Hao was carrying an incense stick as thick as an arm and walking over at a steady pace.
Hmm?
An incense stick worth of time?
He didn't say how long or how thick it was!
"Ah?"
When Wen Cai heard this, he was instantly dumbfounded.
Master?
When did he become so easy to talk to?
Unless there was something fishy about it.
Just as he was thinking to himself, Lin Hao came behind him with a thick incense stick. He placed the incense stick on the ground with one hand and teased him.
"The incense is coming. You can start cultivating!”
"Alright…"
Wen Cai subconsciously nodded in agreement. His face was full of smiles, but the moment he turned around, his smile suddenly froze, revealing an expression that was uglier than crying.
"Martial…Martial Uncle, you…you tricked me.”
He stuttered and spoke incoherently.
In response, Lin Hao chuckled and patted Wen Cai's shoulder." I didn't trick you. This is for your own good."”
As he spoke, he casually pushed the coarse incense to Wen Cai and looked up at Ninth Uncle." Senior Brother, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go to the town for a walk."”
"Junior brother, go."
Then, Lin Hao looked at Wen Cai with an evil smile, and a strange smile slid down the corner of his mouth.
What a joke!
You want to bribe me with a meal?
He had to teach literary talent the dangers of this world!
After he stepped out of the mortuary, Wen Cai's miserable cries and Qiu Sheng's gloating voice could be heard behind him.
Of course, Ninth Uncle's voice came from behind." What are you laughing at? Today, you will make fun of the time limit of ten incense sticks. Qiu Sheng…you can only stop training after the end of Wencai's training.”

Ren Town.
The streets were bustling.
The merchants gathered here, and the flow of people was also the largest.
At this moment, the discussions of various vendors could be heard near the stalls selling seafood.
"Hey, you know what? Ninth Uncle was his junior brother, Lin Hao. Priest Lin was really amazing. Yesterday, Aunt Wang's child was taken away by a bat. Fortunately, Priest Lin arrived in time. Otherwise…the child would have lost his life.”
"Yeah, who says so? Fortunately, Ninth Uncle is in charge of our town and often helps us solve strange incidents. Otherwise, who knows what would happen? Now, Ninth Uncle's junior brother has come. This is really our fortune.”
"What? Are you talking about Taoist Priest Lin Hao? Don't tell me…you guys don't know that last night, there was a ghost in Silly Zhu's banana forest. It was Silly Zhu who found Taoist Priest Lin Hao. Otherwise, his big brother would have been harmed by the female ghost…Taoist Priest Lin Hao is really powerful.”
"Don't talk about this…Why don't we wait for Taoist Master Lin Hao to come here to buy seafood and give him more?”
"Yes, yes, this is a good suggestion. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen to our family in the future? It wouldn't be a bad thing to get to know Priest Lin.”
…………………………………………
Lin Hao, who was passing by, heard every word of the discussion. He smiled and calmly crossed the street.
As Lin Hao had just arrived in Ren Town, he often stayed in the mortuary and rarely went out.
It was normal for no one to recognize him when he walked on the streets.
Creak...
Creak...
Creak...
Right at this moment, there was an ear-piercing sound of friction and the sound of brakes coming from behind.
Looking towards the source of the sound, he saw a plump middle-aged man in uniform riding a bicycle. He was wearing military boots and had a pistol by his waist.
It was only when they reached the middle of the street that they stopped.
His name was Ah Wei, and he was the captain of the Ren Family Town's guards.
A bicycle?
In this era, anything that was considered expensive couldn't be bought by ordinary people.
A car?
That was a luxury item!
Of course, those who could own a car were either rich or noble.
With Ah Wei's level, he could only have a simple bicycle at the moment, but in this town, it was enough for many people to be envious.
"Captain Ah Wei, what brings you here today? Could it be that he's catching a thief?"
"Bullsh * t. With Captain Ah Wei's status, how could he personally go and catch the thief? This is definitely from collecting taxes."
"Cough cough!"
At this moment, Ah Wei coughed softly and took out two notices from his bicycle. With a dignified expression, he said loudly,"Everyone, don't worry. This time, we're not here to collect taxes, but to give you an opportunity.”
"Chance? Since it's an opportunity to make a fortune, I'll put the notice on the wall. You can read it yourself.”
As they spoke, they each opened the notice and pasted it on the high wall with paste. They spat out a few mouthfuls of paste at the foot of the paper that could not be pasted and gently wiped it on.
The contents of the notice immediately appeared before his eyes.
Notice 1: Anyone who knows the clues to the portrait will be rewarded with 100 gold coins and 100 mu of fertile land. Their descendants will be given the opportunity to study in the provincial capital and all tuition fees will be waived. On the other hand, if they could bring the portrait to the marshal's manor, they would be rewarded with a thousand pounds and a thousand acres of fertile land. Their descendants would have the opportunity to go to school and graduate to enter the army for further study.
Beside the content, there was a painting of a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe with flames all over his body. He was holding an iron chain in his hand.
The chains were also burning!
Due to the flames covering it, it was impossible to see its appearance clearly.
Notice 2: On the contrary, those who have pictures and gems will be heavily rewarded. If they know the truth and do not report it, they will be shot on the spot.
The content was simple and carried a strong threat.
Beside the content, there was also a portrait.
It was a crystal clear blue gemstone.
Hmm?
Lin Hao looked at the two notices, and his eyes flickered. He laughed with interest." Interesting."”
