Chapter 001: Lu Li

2009, winter.

Next to one of the most famous cemeteries in Daxinganling, the north wind howled and not a single person could be seen.

The blazing fire illuminated the house, making a trivial crackling sound like branches breaking. I was sitting in a hut that had not been occupied for more than ten years, holding a huge battery that could kill someone.

He was leaning against the corner and playing with his mobile phone, killing time while waiting for those difficult guys to come to his door.

Looking sideways, Yao'er is still hiding in my backpack, stretching out two meaty little paws in an unusually lazy posture. Every once in a while, this little guy will pull out the little guy with two big ears.

The little head peeked out secretly, and seeing that I was still there, it contentedly got back into the backpack and continued to sleep soundly. It looked like it was afraid that someone would leave it here.

I stretched out my hand to tease it, but the little guy held it in his hand and bit it. The lazy expression with squinted eyes reminded me of the cute look of it holding a straw and drinking yogurt. 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 ferocious and top-level monster, and who would have thought that a person who has been dead for many years would come back like me.

Close your eyes and look inside, you can see nine pillars of fire circling behind you. After practicing hard for several years, although you can't fly to the sky and escape from the earth, your Taoist cultivation has reached the state of "nine dragons coiling around the body".

After re-entering the iron building to practice for a hundred days, I have passed the final moment. Whether I can break through the entrance and enter the new realm depends on today's battle. If I go further, I will have unlimited glory, but if I step back, there will be no bones left. I have been dawdling on this annoying node for several years.

There should be a result.

My name is Lu Li, I am 29 years old. I make a living by catching ghosts and subjugating monsters. Today, I can barely be considered a half-Daoist.

There are naturally some reasons why I say this.

In fact, although I practice Taoism, I am not a Taoist priest.

In the words of Jin Jiuye, I have not been an ordinary person since I was born, and the seemingly sudden thunder disaster a few years ago was even more fateful.

If Fu Da Ming Da had not met this little guy Yao'er, that thunder could have directly killed me.

In a word, surviving until now is all a coincidence, and achieving today's cultivation is also the result of coincidence.

Before I was twenty years old, I always felt that I was an ordinary person.

At that time, my life was not significantly different from that of ordinary children, that is, I was more withdrawn, more diligent, and had better academic performance. Apart from always encountering some weird things, my life was pretty smooth.

My family hoped that I would go to college, find a decent job, take root in a big city, make some achievements, and live a peaceful life.

But to be honest, I let them down. As for why it became like this, we have to start with the encounter with Master Jiu.

Master Jiu is a Taoist priest. Although he rarely wears Taoist robes, I don’t know how advanced this man is. However, before I met him, he was indeed a well-known heavenly master. Many policemen knew him. It is said that

Whenever I encounter something that cannot be explained scientifically, I always come to him for help.

The so-called Celestial Master is actually a respectful title for Taoist believers. In the small sect of "Maoshan Celestial Master Taoism", such a title should be regarded as a high praise.

In fact, Chinese Taoism, like Buddhism, has always had serious factional disputes. Since Zhang Daoling founded the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, the evolution of Taoism has not stopped.

After hundreds of thousands of years of purification, there are generally two systems that have been passed down to this day: "Quan Zhen" and "Zheng Yi", and Maoshan Sect is a typical representative of the latter.

When it comes to the Maoshan Sect that conquers demons, I believe everyone is familiar with it. This sect is very famous, but its number of people is very small. Different from the "Five Thunder Zhengfa" of the Longhu Mountain Ancestral Court, the Maoshan Sect's techniques and concepts

Adhering to the traditional characteristics of the Taoist fire workers of Zhengyi Sect.

People in this branch are not taboo about meat, wine, and women. They can also marry and have children. There are not many taboos. Except for the "five evils and three shortcomings" that no one can avoid, all kinds of treatment are good.

It's quite good.

With the help of the principle of physical restraint, Maoshan disciples can accomplish many things. In actual contact, it is not uncommon to find people with great supernatural powers. Of course, under the great reputation, there are also many people who deceive gods and ghosts in order to gain fame. It is thanks to their blessings that

People like us are often labeled as "gods" and pushed to the fringes of public opinion. We are like rats crossing the street, and everyone calls for beatings.

You must know that it is not easy to be a stick, but it is even more difficult to be a magic stick. It is even more difficult to be a magic stick with ideals, morality and ambition.

I understand them because I am like them.

Before I met Mr. Biao, I had never believed in the theory of gods and ghosts, let alone the existence of a master who did not seek fame and wealth to help the world and save people. However, I was wrong. The world is much bigger than I imagined and bigger than me.

It's more complicated to imagine.

The first time I met Jin Jiuye 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 to drop out of school. On the other hand, I was inexplicably selected by a magazine that was not small but had harsh conditions. I went for an interview in a daze. After successfully passing, I have been there ever since.

I embarked on the road of no return as a trainee reporter.

Although he is said to be a reporter, he is actually one who collects materials, takes some photos, conducts interviews, and then makes up a short story to fool the people.

At that time, there was no contract, no insurance, and no particularly obvious division of labor. The bearded editor tried his best to instill one thing in me, that is, what you are looking for must have a selling point.

Selling point is a very nice word to say. If you expand it carefully, you will find that this thing is very simple.

In his original words, you should look for whatever attracts you, and report on whatever resonates with you. The more outrageous it is, the more you say it, and the more terrifying it is, the more marketable it is.

Driven by the public psychology represented by ugliness, I was disgusted at all kinds of shocking accident scenes for several months. The extremely boring life and meager income made me live in a very difficult situation. Of course, I can change all this.

It’s also Jin Jiuye.

Saturday morning was a rare half-day break. I wanted to have a good sleep, but before six o'clock, my cell phone beside my bed started ringing like a reminder.

The person who called was the mean fat man, the legendary editor-in-chief, and more often than not, we all liked to call him my old cousin.

When I got on the phone, my voice seemed very friendly. Generally speaking, there are two types of situations. Either the person wants to default on his salary, or he has something very difficult for me to do.

Facts have proved that my judgment was quite wise. He did have something to do for me, and it was something that seemed very troublesome.
