Chapter 001: Lu Li
2009, winter.
On the edge of one of the most famous cemeteries in Daxinganling, there is no one who can see the north wind whistling.
The blazing fire illuminated the room, and made the crackling sound of branches breaking. I sat in a hut that had not lived in for more than ten years, leaning against the corner of the wall with a huge battery that could kill people. While passing the time, I waited for those difficult guys to come to the door.
Looking around, the youngest man was still hiding in my backpack, stretching out his two fleshy claws in an extremely lazy position. Every moment, the little guy would secretly poke out the little head with two big ears. Seeing that I was still there, he crawled back to his backpack and continued to sleep soundly. Looking at that look, he was afraid that someone would throw it here.
I reached out to tease it, but the little guy was bitten by the palm of his hand. The lazy expression of squinting eyes reminded me of the cute appearance of it drinking yogurt with a straw. I felt warm in my heart and couldn't help but laugh.
Who would have thought that this silly and cute little guy would be the legendary fierce and extremely fierce top monster? Who would have thought that a person who has been dead for many years would have started again like me?
Close your eyes and look inward, you can see that the nine pillars of fire are circling behind you, practicing hard for several years. Although you cannot fly to the sky and escape from the earth, your cultivation of Taoism has already reached the realm of "Nine Dragons' Plate Body".
I have been practicing for a hundred days after I have passed the last moment. I can break through the entrance hall and log in to a new realm. I only look at today's battle. I will be incredible and take a step back and my body will not exist. I will be able to procrastinate at this annoying node for many years, and it will be a result.
My name is Lu Li, 29 years old, and I make a living by catching ghosts and subduing demons. Today I can barely be considered a person from the Taoist sect.
The reason for saying this is naturally because there are some reasons.
In fact, although I practice Taoism, I am not a Taoist priest.
In the words of Jin Jiuye, since I was born, I have not been an ordinary person. The seemingly sudden thunder disaster a few years ago was even more destined.
If Fu Daming Da met the little guy Xiaoer, that thunder would have killed me directly.
In a word, it is a coincidence that we can survive until now. It is also the result of a coincidence that we can achieve today's cultivation.
Before I was twenty, I always felt like an ordinary person.
At that time, I lived a life that was no obvious difference from that of ordinary children, that is, I was a little more withdrawn, hardworking, and better academic performance. In addition to always encountering some strange things, I was still doing well.
My family hopes that I will get into college and then find a decent job, and take root in a big city to live a peaceful life.
But to be honest, I disappointed them. As for why they became like this, we have to start with our encounter with Jiu Ye.
Jiu Ye is a Taoist priest. Although he rarely wears Taoist robes, I don’t know how high this person’s cultivation is. However, before he met him, he was indeed a famous generation of Tianshi masters. Many policemen knew him. It is said that every time he encountered something that could not be explained clearly by science, he would ask him to help him.
The so-called Tianshi is actually a kind of respectful title for Taoist believers. In the small school of "Maoshan Tianshi Taoism", such title should be considered a high praise.
In fact, like Buddhism, Taoism in China has always had serious factional disputes. Since Zhang Daoling founded the Five Dogs of Rice Sect, the evolution of Taoism has never stopped.
After hundreds or thousands of years of cleaning, there are generally two systems of "quanzhen" and "zhengyi" that have been passed down to this day, and Maoshan Sect is a typical representative of the latter.
I believe everyone is familiar with the Maoshan Sect, which is a great source of demons and demons. This sect is very famous, but the number of people is very small. Unlike the "Five Thunders Law" in the ancestral temple of Longhu Mountain, the technology and philosophy of Maoshan Sect adhere to the traditional characteristics of the Firework Taoist people of the Zhengyi School.
People in this branch do not avoid alcohol and meat, and do not avoid female sex. They can also marry and have children. There are no particularly many taboos. Except for the "five disadvantages and three shortcomings" that no one can avoid, they are very good at all.
With the help of the principle of physical nature, Maoshan disciples can do many things. In actual contact, it is not uncommon for those with great powers. Of course, under their reputation, there are many people who deceive gods and seek fame and reputation. It is also the blessings of them. People like us are often labeled as "charlatan" and pushed to the edge of public opinion. Like mice crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats them.
You should know that being a stick is not easy, but being a charlatan is difficult, and being a charlatan with ideals, morality and career aspirations is even more difficult.
I understand them, that's because I'm the same as them.
Before I met Master Biao, I never believed in the sayings of gods and ghosts, and I didn’t believe that there was such a master who did not seek fame and fortune to save the world and save people. However, I was wrong. This world is much bigger than I thought and more complicated than I thought.
The first time I met Mr. Jin Jiu was in the first semester of my senior year.
At that time, I had just been discharged from the hospital after being in a coma for several months. On the one hand, I received a notice of withdrawal from school, but on the other hand, I was inexplicably selected by a magazine that was not small but harsh. I went for the interview in a confused manner. After successfully passing, I began to be a no-return journalist since then.
It is said that he is a reporter, but he is actually a person who collects materials, takes some photos, does an interview, and then makes up a short story to fool the people.
There was no contract, no insurance, and no particularly obvious division of labor at that time. The editor with a bearded face tried his best to instill in me with only one thing, that is, what you are looking for must have a selling point.
The word selling point is very nice to put. If you expand it carefully, you will find that this thing is very simple.
In his original words, you will look for whatever attracts people, and report on what is easy to resonate with. The more bloody you are, the more you have to say it, and the more thrilling you are, the more market you have.
Driven by the public psychology represented by the chou, I was disgusted for several months at various shocking accident scenes. My extremely boring life and meager income made me suffer. Of course, it was Mr. Jin Jiu who changed all this.
It was a rare half-day break on Saturday morning. I wanted to have a good sleep, but I found that the phone at the bedside was ringing like a death-thrust before six o'clock.
The caller was the mean fat man, the legendary editor-in-chief, and most of the time, we like to call him cousin.
When I answered the phone, I seemed very kind to hear it. Generally speaking, there were two types of situations: either the person was going to owe him or he had something very difficult to do.
As it turns out, my judgment was quite wise. He really had something to do, and what he wanted to do was to do was something that seemed very troublesome.
