Chapter 79(1/2)
The next day, the sun was just right. After finishing breakfast, Li Fei told them to stay in the inn on the sixth day of the lunar month and not go out. He went out alone on the street.
He bought some gifts on the street, then Li Fei asked someone to inquire about the location of Yizhuang, and rushed there with the gifts.
Last night, Chen Le said that he and his senior brothers usually lived in Yizhuang, and that he was Uncle Jiu's third apprentice.
Arriving at Yizhuang, Li Fei went in and found two people practicing boxing in the yard, one of whom was Chen Le.
The other one is a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He has a V-shaped face, a tall and delicate nose, and round eyes that are larger than the average person. He can be considered a handsome man, but the only drawback is his lips.
It's slightly thicker, and the corners of the mouth are a bit asymmetrical, pressing down and rising at the same time.
After Chen Le finished the boxing exercise, he turned around and saw Li Fei, so he walked forward and said, "Did you have a good rest last night, fellow Taoist?"
"Thank you for your concern. Xu is sleeping well." Li Fei handed over the gift and said, "Please accept some gifts. Without the Taoist Priest's reminder, I and the others might have been killed by zombies."
"I can't accept these gifts. After all, they are just a small effort." Chen Le declined, "Also, you are not allowed to call me Taoist priest. You are older than me, so just call me Taoist friend."
Li Fei shook his head and chuckled: "You and I are both practitioners, and those who are masters are teachers. It doesn't hurt to call them Taoist priests. These gifts don't cost much, so just accept them."
"Senior brother, I have good intentions, so don't refuse."
The young man came over and said with a chuckle.
Chen Le smiled helplessly, took the gift, and introduced by the way: "This is my junior brother Zhao Qing. He has only been practicing for half a year and has reached the ninth level of Qi Entrainment. He is a well-deserved genius."
Zhao Qing said modestly: "What kind of genius? It's just good luck."
Li Fei felt uncomfortable when he heard that Zhao Qing had cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Qi in just half a year, which was the advanced stage of Qi Qi. He was only one step away from breaking through the foundation building.
I have been practicing for half a year, and I have just broken through the first level. I really have to compare goods, and compare people to death.
At this time, Uncle Jiu walked out of the house, followed by a beautiful woman, and the three of them immediately stopped talking.
Chen Le and Zhao Qing came forward to greet him and called him master.
The beautiful woman saw that Zhao Qing was sweating, so she wiped him intimately with a handkerchief.
Chen Le, who was standing by, was a little bit annoyed. This woman's name was Ren Tingting. She was Master Ren's daughter. Her family was very rich, but she just fell in love with this boy Zhao Qing.
Moreover, he knew that Zhao Qing was a time traveler like him. Zhao Qing was more valued by Uncle Jiu and was better at chasing girls than him.
Zhao Qing can be said to have both human and financial resources. Looking at himself, he is miserable.
Since Yu is born, why is Liang born? Alas...
Chen Le thought of the female ghost he captured last night, and felt a little more balanced, but he still had to train her slowly.
Li Fei looked at Uncle Jiu and found that his appearance was slightly different from the white-haired and white-browed image in the movie. He was not that old, but had a unique sense of vicissitudes of life.
Li Fei took the initiative to step forward and explained the purpose of his trip, and also asked Uncle Jiu some questions about cultivation.
Uncle Jiu said seriously: "You are too old and have missed the best opportunity to practice. Why not spend some time practicing a superior external skill? Maybe you can achieve something."
Li Fei smiled bitterly and said: "Xu has no choice but to practice. If he does not break through the foundation building within one or two years, his life will not be saved."
Uncle Jiu waved his hand and said, "Sorry, I can't help you either."
"Taoist Master Zhengying, Xu also suffers from narcolepsy, which has been difficult to cure. When he gets sick, he has difficulty concentrating. He has to take a long sleep to recover. Please help me, Taoist Master."
In half a year, Li Fei has consumed all the pills, and now narcolepsy has affected his practice.
As for collecting medicinal materials and making pills by himself, Li Fei had never thought about it.
Uncle Jiu has always been kind to others. Hearing this, he did not refuse and said, "Follow me into the house."
Everyone entered the room and sat down. Uncle Jiu took Li Fei's pulse.
After some investigation, Uncle Jiu was surprised to find that Li Fei was full of vitality and could live for another fifty or sixty years, which was not what he said.
The energy and blood all over my body are extremely strong, and I don’t know how many tonics I have taken.
Only if there is something wrong with the source of the essence, the essence in the body is scattered and difficult to form, so there is drowsiness.
Uncle Jiu retracted his palm and said, "I already know what your problem is, but..."
Li Fei cupped his fists and said, "If you have anything to say, Taoist Master Zhengying, please speak out. Xu is willing to pay any price as long as my disease can be cured."
Uncle Jiu shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to say it directly, but to cure your disease requires a certain skill. Unfortunately, that skill is from the Quanzhen sect, and it's called Purple Qi Health Preservation Technique. You also know this skill."
The importance of growing things to the sect will never be easily taught to an outsider."
Li Fei nodded. He had been to many famous sects, but they were all high-minded people. Even the gates of the sect refused to let him in, let alone ask for skills.
Li Fei smiled and said: "Thank you Taoist Master for your advice. Even if there is little hope, I will make a trip to the Quanzhen Sect."
Uncle Jiu sighed and said, "Let's do this. I'll prescribe you a medicine. Although it can't get rid of the root cause of the disease, it can alleviate your symptoms to some extent."
Later, Uncle Jiu took a pen and paper and wrote down a prescription eloquently.
Li Fei took it and took a closer look. These medicinal materials were just ordinary herbs and not difficult to buy.
Just as he was about to thank him, there was chatter and laughter outside the door, and two men walked in, one was Qiu Sheng and the other was Wen Cai.
When Uncle Jiu saw the two of them, his expression dropped, and he said displeasedly: "There are no rules at all. I didn't see any guests here. Have you finished the matter?"
Qiu Sheng walked up and said with a smile: "The residents of the town have been notified. They will stay at home honestly at night and will not go out."
There are zombies outside the town. Uncle Jiu is worried that the townspeople will be attacked by zombies if they go out casually, so he sends Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai to inform everyone.
Qiu Sheng and Wen were the first two disciples accepted by Uncle Jiu. They had studied Taoism with him for more than nine years and were not very successful. Qiu Sheng was smarter and had barely reached the ninth level of qi entrainment. His literary talents and qualifications were mediocre and he was unwilling to work hard and practice.
For many years, it has only been three levels of air entrainment.
Li Fei took out ten oceans and wanted to hand them to Uncle Jiu, but Uncle Jiu declined and said, "I haven't done you any favors. I can't accept these oceans."
He didn't want to accept it, but Qiu Sheng took Dayang over with a smile and said: "This gentleman is so kind, I will accept it on behalf of the master."
Li Fei cupped his hands and said: "Xu came to your place for the first time. He has no place to stay yet and has many things to do. Please say goodbye."
Chen Le said: "Master, I'm going to see off fellow Taoist Xu."
Uncle Jiu nodded, then looked at Qiu Sheng, his face darkened, and he did not get angry immediately. He only waited until Li Fei went out and then said coldly: "You are very shameless when you accept people's money for no reason."
So thick."
Qiu Sheng chuckled and said: "Master, you can tell by the way he dresses that he is a rich person. This little money is nothing to him. Besides, he must have come to the master to ask for some money."
That’s what it should be.”
"You are the only one who talks a lot." Uncle Jiu said, "He came here specifically to thank your Junior Brother Chen, but it's not what you think."
"In this case, if you don't want to accept the money, Master, why don't I give it to Junior Brother Chen and I'll keep it for him first."
As Qiu Sheng spoke, he stuffed the money into his arms. As for whether he would give the money to his junior brother, only God knows.
Uncle Jiu stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me the money."
Wen Cai went over and grabbed the money, obediently handed it to Uncle Jiu, and said with a wicked smile: "Master, Qiu Sheng is usually greedy and lustful, and he must want to keep the money for himself."
"You bastard, if you dare to speak ill of me in front of the master, let's see how I teach you a lesson."
Qiu Sheng got ready, stepped up and kicked Wen Cai, then turned around and ran away before he could react.
Wencai naturally refused to suffer a loss, so he rubbed his buttocks and chased him, and the two of them ran out of the house in the blink of an eye.
The two of them were like this usually, laughing and joking.
Uncle Jiu had already given up on the two of them. Fortunately, the two new apprentices were very up to date and would not make him lose face in front of the other brothers.
Uncle Jiu looked at his young apprentice and said, "Ah Qing, don't imitate your two senior brothers. They will never become great in their lifetime."
Zhao Qing chuckled and said, "Master taught me that although the two senior brothers are a bit naughty, they are kind-hearted. I believe that under the wise leadership of the master, the two of them will definitely become talents."
Uncle Jiu waved his hand and said, "Don't put too much money on my face. As long as they don't go astray, I will burn incense."
Qiu Sheng ran back again, panting and walked up to Uncle Jiu and said, "Master, can you give me a piece of ocean first?"
Uncle Jiu shook his head and said, "No."
Qiu Sheng said: "Master doesn't bring anything like this. Didn't you just take ten yuan? My family is about to run out of food and I need money for emergencies."
snap
A dozen copper coins were thrown on the table, and Uncle Jiu said with a smile: "Take it to buy a pound of rice, and eat it slowly when you go home. If you don't have enough, go and get it from the master."
The expression on Qiu Sheng's face was as if he had eaten shit, and he whispered: "Master, you are really stingy."
Uncle Jiu said earnestly: "What do you know? I'm afraid that you will take the life flower if you die."
Qiu Sheng muttered: "If you don't want to give it, why don't you give it to me? Why are you looking for so many excuses..."
"Bang" followed by a crisp sound, Qiu Sheng, who was chattering endlessly, was kicked on the waist by Uncle Jiu, knocking him to the ground.
"You bastard, you haven't had your Fang Jie Wa for three days. Do you even dare to doubt the master's words? To tell you the truth, when I was diagnosing his pulse just now, I looked at his face using the aura technique and found that he has a distinguished destiny.
Incomparable, at least he is the overlord of one party and has great luck. If you give him a piece of the ocean, you will not be able to repay this favor even if you kill him."
After listening to his master's words, Qiu Sheng thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he knelt on the ground and said, "I know my mistake, please punish me."
Uncle Jiu said calmly: "Forget it, knowing your mistakes will greatly improve things. I will punish you by copying the Pure Heart Mantra a thousand times. You will not be allowed to eat until you finish copying."
Qiu Sheng suddenly had a bitter look on his face, nodded bravely, and then put all the copper coins on the table into his pocket.
"Tingting, go help me supervise him. You can take this feather duster. If he dares to be lazy, use this to teach him a lesson."
