Chapter 3: Apprenticeship was declined

"Taoist Master Simu is out chasing corpses all year round, and teaching a disciple is already time-consuming and laborious."

Li Mu answered Uncle Jiu. In fact, he had already asked Simu this question on the way, but Taoist priest Simu had no intention of accepting a disciple. Firstly, he needed to go out frequently to collect corpses and did not have much time. Secondly, he already had

He had a disciple, and he was the disciple he had raised since childhood. Li Mu was already determined by his age at this time. In his lineage, he would not be able to achieve anything through cultivation.

However, it was Si Mu's idea to become a disciple of Uncle Jiu, saying that his senior brother's current two apprentices were only half-full, with no progress at all, and they were not like him running around everywhere.

Lin Jiu's dojo is in Renjia Town, so becoming a disciple of Uncle Jiu is the best choice for Li Mu.

“The journey of practicing Taoism is filled with many friends and relatives.”

"Li Mu, you have the heart to follow the Tao, but at your age, I'm afraid it's a little late!"

"Uncle Jiu, is it true that I can't practice Taoism?"

"It's not that you can't. It's just that at your age, if you waste half your life, you may just be standing still. Instead of spending time here, it's better to live a normal life."

After Uncle Jiu finished speaking, he patted Li Mu on the shoulder and left.

Li Mu sat in a daze, feeling a little worried about the future.

Because he knew that something big was going to happen in Renjia Town next.

He originally hoped to learn some skills from Uncle Jiu first so that he could protect himself.

Now that I have been rejected, I feel a little disheartened.

"Why, were you rejected by my senior brother?"

At some point, Taoist Master Simu, who had returned to his room, came out again, sat next to Li Mu and asked.

"Yes, he said that at my age, it is too late to practice Taoism!"

"Indeed, most people at your current age may not even be able to become a Taoist disciple."

"Taoist?"

Li Mu looked at Taoist Priest Simu in confusion.

"Yes, monasticism is divided into Taoist disciples, Taoist priests, Dharma masters, and Celestial Masters."

"And Taoist disciples are the first threshold. Many people have been practicing for many years and are still at this stage. Just look at my senior brother's two apprentices. They have been practicing with him since they were young, and they are still Taoist disciples now!"

Simu poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and then spoke to Li Mu.

"So, what he said is right. If you practice Taoism, you may only be able to wander in this realm for the rest of your life."

"Then what should we do!"

"Hey, let me give you an idea!"

Taoist priest Simu smiled, leaned over and spoke quietly to Li Mu.

"real?"

"It's absolutely true. Even though he's tough and hard to talk to, he has a hard mouth but a soft heart. As long as you're sincere, he won't reject you."

Taoist Priest Simu said calmly that based on his understanding of Lin Jiu, as long as Li Mu didn't have any evil intentions and just polished things off, he would not lose face and would accept him as his disciple.

Taoist Priest Simu was very fond of Li Mu. First, through his observations along the way, he felt that Li Mu was not bad, but rather simple.

The second is that I am a little curious about Li Mu himself, and where the ghost energy on his body came from. If it was a ghost that finally got rid of his conscience, he would not believe it until he died!

So I gave him an idea to help him successfully become a disciple.

After some encouragement from Taoist Master Simu, Li Mu regained his confidence and once again had hope for the future!

"Okay, I'm going back to rest. I'm really sleepy this time!"

Taoist Priest Simu yawned and got up to go back to his room. Li Mu also got up from his seat, thinking of taking a walk to Renjia Town.

At this time, Wencai and Qiu Sheng came from one side and were fighting and making trouble. Seeing Li Mu, Wen Cai stopped his smile from fighting with Qiu Sheng.

"Mr. Li, are you going out?"

"Yes, and don't call me Mr. Li anymore. My name is Li Mu. We are about the same age."

Maybe it was because Li Mu came to Yizhuang with Taoist Priest Four Eyes. Although he was young, Wen Cai was a little reserved in front of him. It wasn't until Li Mu opened his mouth that Wen Cai relaxed.

Qiu Sheng on the side looked at Li Mu and asked.

"Li Mu, how did you meet my uncle?"

Li Mu told the two of them the process of getting acquainted with Taoist Master Four Eyes. Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai looked at him in surprise.

"It turns out you are not a monastic!"

It turned out that because they were together with Simu, the two of them agreed that Li Mu was a senior monk, but he was just younger.

Now that I understand it, the barriers between the few people have disappeared.

We feel much more comfortable getting along with each other.

………

Walking in the market of Renjia Town, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh when he saw the crowds of people coming and going and the shouts of the merchants.

What you see in this movie is always different from what you actually see.

At this point he is a participant rather than a spectator.

Walking along the street, Li Mu soon saw the Western teahouse where Master Ren had an appointment with Uncle Jiu.

Not far across the street is the rouge shop opened by Aunt Qiu Sheng.

If he had a mobile phone at this time, Li Mu would definitely take a photo and post it on Moments.

Li Mu touched his pocket, and that day Li Mu discovered that there was some money in the inner pocket of his pants.

But it wasn't much, and he couldn't afford the consumption of Western teahouses. After looking at the teahouse, Li Mu finally gave up and tried the coffee and egg tarts in the movie.

After wandering around outside, Li Mu finally only bought some glutinous rice, because he knew that there would be a shortage of rice in the town, and the poison in Wencai's corpse was not removed.

Li Mu carried half a bag of glutinous rice into Yizhuang. He didn't see anyone in the house, so he carried the rice directly back to the room, thinking that when he saw Wen Cai later, he would ask him where to put the glutinous rice.

Although Li Mu knew the plot of the movie, he couldn't tell anyone directly. After all, when asked, he couldn't say that he saw it from the movie.

Another thing is that Li Mu is not sure whether the plot here is completely consistent with the plot in the movie. If there is a difference and causes problems, it will cause big trouble.

At night.

Li Mu had already fallen asleep, but not long after he fell asleep, he suddenly heard Wencai's cry for help and quickly got out of the bed and walked out of the lobby.

Then he saw Uncle Jiu and Taoist Priest Four running towards the morgue from behind.

Hey, could it have started at this time?

Li Mu vaguely remembered this scene. It seemed that Qiu Sheng was pretending to be a zombie to trick the literary talent, causing Taoist Priest Four's walking corpse charm to fall, causing a commotion.

Thinking of this, I quickly followed him.

As soon as they passed by, they saw Wencai sneaking outside and peeking, and Li Mu walked quietly behind Wencai.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah! Ah... uh, it's you! It scared me to death!"

Wen Cai was so frightened by Li Mu's sudden question that he couldn't help shouting. When he came to his senses and saw that it was Li Mu, he calmed down.

"What happened inside?"

Before Wencai could answer, Li Mu saw Uncle Jiu kicking the walking corpse to the ground as he jumped to the door, and then touched him on the forehead, causing the walking corpse to stop moving.

Seeing this, Li Mu mustered up the courage to walk in and take a look. In the morgue, Taoist Priest Simu's clients were lying on the ground in a mess.

Si Mu and Jiu Shu were cleaning up, while Qiu Sheng was hiding aside and did not see him step forward to help.

"Brother, what should I do? It's all falling apart. How can I explain it to the sponsor?"

Taoist Priest Four Eyes raised the hand of one of the zombies and said distressedly.

"Why are you standing here and not helping me?"

Uncle Jiu glared at Qiu Sheng, and then Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai stepped forward to help carry the body.

Li Mu endured the discomfort and stepped forward to help. This scene was naturally seen by Uncle Jiu.

"If you learn Taoism, don't be as rude as my senior brother. Look, it's all falling apart. I don't know how much money you will be deducted by then!"

Taoist Priest Simu saw Li Mu coming and said softly next to him.

After all the walking corpses were arranged, Taoist Master Four Eyes complained angrily to the two of them: "You two...just have fun, don't make fun of the dead, the dead are the most important!"

Wen Cai wanted to explain, but he was clumsy and hemmed and hawed and couldn't come up with an explanation.

Taoist Priest Four Eyes shook his head.

"Forget it, I'll leave today."

"Taoist Master, are you leaving now?"

Although I knew that Simu would leave, I didn't expect that because of the literary talent Qiusheng, I would leave early.

Li Mu thought that if Si Mu was gone, no one would give him any advice, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Taoist Priest Simu glanced at Li Mu, and upon seeing this, Li Mu followed him to the side.

"Taoist Priest, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

"It's getting late. Once we send off this batch of customers, there is still a batch waiting for us."

"Don't worry, as long as you do as I say, there will be no problem in becoming a disciple."

Taoist Priest Simu patted Li Mu on the shoulder and comforted him.

Li Mu looked at Taoist Priest Simu. This was the first person to help him when he came here. He was still a little reluctant to part ways at this time.

"gone"

Taoist Priest Four Eyes waved his hand, turned around, rang the bell and led the walking corpse away.

When Li Mu returned to the house, Qiu Sheng had already run away, only Wen Cai was waiting for him, and Uncle Jiu also returned to the room.

"I was really hurt by Qiu Sheng!"

As soon as Li Mu entered the door, Wen Cai complained to him while closing the door.

"What's going on?"

"It's all Qiu Sheng's fault. If he hadn't pretended to be a zombie to scare me, he wouldn't have made such a big fuss and got scolded by Master!"

Wencai felt aggrieved at this time and sat on the steps at the door with Li Mu.

"Wencai, how long have you been following your master?"

"It's been many years. When Master went to our village to conduct a funeral, he brought me back. It's been many years. I was only this old at that time!"

Wencai showed Li Mu his height at that time.

"It's been so many years, why..."

Li Mu stopped talking halfway through, because he also realized that it was not suitable for the two of them to talk about this.

But Wen Cai didn't mind and said with a silly smile.

"Because I have been following the master for so many years and have never been able to figure it out. I have made no progress after practicing again and again, so I am not very good at these things."

Having said this, his eyes were also a little downcast.

Li Mu patted him and didn't know what to say!

Then the two went back to rest.

Three chapters will be published first, and now the outline is only written to the end of the first plot line.
Chapter completed!
