Chen Mu immediately left the Yamen and walked slowly along the long street.

He was thinking in his mind that Master Ren's daughter Tingting seemed to have just returned from the provincial capital.

Chen Mu remembered that Mr. Ren mentioned something when he was talking to Uncle Jiu in the tea restaurant.

He said that his daughter had just returned from the provincial capital and was teaching people how to apply makeup everywhere.

And Ren Tingting has just arrived.

In other words, the timeline when they enter the dungeon world is likely to be earlier than the beginning of the movie.

"Just confirm it and you'll know."

Chen Mu has found out the address of Uncle Jiu's Yizhuang.

In order to hurry up, he hired a manpower to pull the cart.

In less than half an hour, we arrived at Yizhuang.

Yizhuang is quiet during the day.

Chen Mu returned the money to the coachman, carried the silver box, walked to the gate of Yizhuang, and gently knocked on the door knocker.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk".

Chen Mu knocked on the door several times.

A familiar voice came out.

"Who is it?"

It was the voice of Uncle Jiu's apprentice Wencai.

Chen Mu quickly said: "Is Uncle Jiu here?"

After a while, the door opened.

The scholar, who had a slightly wretched appearance, leaned half out of the door. When he saw a stranger, he was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Who are you? Why do you want to see my master so early in the morning?"

Chen Mu hugged his fists and asked, "Hello, is Uncle Nine here?"

Wen just wanted to speak.

At this time, a majestic voice came from the inner room.

"Wencai, what's the matter?"

At this time, Wencai turned around and shouted into the room: "Master, there is someone here who wants to see you."

Chen Mu looked beyond Wencai.

Then he saw Uncle Jiu walking out of the inner room with his hands behind his back.

Arriving at the gate, Uncle Jiu took a brief look at Chen Mu, who was wearing a shirt and casual pants.

Seeing that his clothes were different from the others, I asked him politely.

"Little brother, what do you want from me?"

Chen Mu immediately bowed respectfully to Uncle Jiu with his fists raised, bowed slightly, and said.

"My name is Chen Sheng, and I came here specifically to be my disciple today."

Wen Cai was extremely surprised when he heard this, "You want to become my master?"

he said happily.

"Master, someone has come to apprentice for you!"

"Apprenticeship?"

Uncle Jiu frowned slightly when he heard this, a little surprised.

He looked at Chen Mu again and said puzzledly, "This little brother seems to be from a provincial capital or abroad."

"You said you want to become my teacher, why is that?"

Chen Mu knew that if he wanted to become Uncle Jiu's disciple, it would definitely not be something he could do in just two or three sentences.

He said in a sincere tone: "Uncle Jiu guessed it accurately. I have been studying abroad before and I only came back recently."

"To be honest with Uncle Jiu, although I have been studying abroad for a long time, under the influence of my father, I have been interested in things like Chinese martial arts and Taoism since I was a child."

"After returning from abroad, I have been hearing people mention that Uncle Jiu has superb Taoist skills and is a decent man. He is highly praised by neighbors near and far. I have been admiring Uncle Jiu for a long time."

"I made a special trip to visit you today, just to become my disciple. I ask Uncle Jiu to accept me as his disciple."

Chen Mu bowed sincerely.

"Well……"

Uncle Jiu frowned slightly when he heard this, and fell into deep thought.

He obviously had his own concerns and did not agree easily just because of Chen Mu's words.

"It's really strange. These days, there are actually people who take the initiative to come to your door to become my disciples, senior brother."

At this time, another slightly familiar voice came over.

Chen Mu was slightly startled.

He is actually Uncle Jiu’s junior fellow apprentice, Taoist Priest Four Eyes!

He hasn't set off to collect the corpses yet?

The moment Taoist Master Simu appeared, Chen Mu knew it.

I guessed it right.

He still remembered that before the movie started, Qiu Sheng pretended to be a zombie to tease the literary talent, and Taoist priest Simu left before dawn.

And now Taoist Master Four Eyes has not left yet, that means.

The timeline when they entered the replica world of Mr. Zombie was on the morning when the movie opened.

Almost a whole day early.

At this time tomorrow, Uncle Jiu will take Wencai to the tea restaurant to meet Master Ren and talk about the coffin relocation.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu couldn't help but his eyes lit up slightly.

The timeline turned out to be nearly a day earlier than he expected, which would be even more beneficial for his next actions.

Chen Mu quickly bowed slightly to Taoist Priest Simu.

"Boy Chen Sheng, I have met the Taoist priest."

"Well……"

Taoist Priest Four Eyes nodded and stepped forward.

He looked at the senior brother aside and said with a smile, "It's really rare to see young people like this who are respectful and polite to us students."

"Senior brother, don't you think about it?"

Even Taoist Priest Simu was standing by to help Chen Mu speak, but to his surprise, Uncle Jiu still shook his head.

Taoist Priest Simu was a little puzzled.

"Brother, why is this?"

"In this day and age, few young people are willing to learn Taoism from teachers. If this continues, inheritance will become a problem."

"I think this little brother is very nice. Senior brother, are you really not considering it?"

Taoist priest Simu told the reason why he spoke for Chen Mu.

Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment, then looked at Chen Mu and said to him seriously.

"To be honest, little brother, learning Taoism must start from childhood. Just like the two apprentices around me, they both followed me to learn Taoism when they were very young."

"But even though they have been with me for so long, they have still only learned a little bit about it."

Uncle Jiu looked at Chen Mu and said, "I think my little brother is over 18 years old this year, which is a bit old. In addition, Taoism has declined, and no one is willing to learn it now."

"I really don't want to live up to my little brother's intention to become a disciple, so I can't accept it. Little brother, please take him back."

After hearing this, Chen Mu suddenly felt a little in awe.

Uncle Jiu is indeed a Taoist master with a broad mind.

But Uncle Jiu misjudged one point, which was the main purpose of his apprenticeship.

The reason is to enter Yizhuang in a legitimate manner without arousing suspicion from Uncle Jiu.

He mainly wants to complete the main tasks released by the system. Whether he learns Taoism or not, it doesn't matter at all.

Chen Mu immediately said sincerely: "To be honest with Uncle Jiu, I already knew this before coming here."

"I worship Uncle Jiu as my teacher, and more importantly, I admire you as a person, Uncle Jiu."

"Even if I don't learn the ability to catch ghosts and demons, I will be satisfied if I can learn from Uncle Jiu how to behave."
