After the food was ready, Marshal Xu invited everyone to take their seats.
Looking at the sumptuous food on the round table, Qiu Sheng's mouth almost watered. But just when he was about to reach out for the chopsticks, he was hit by Uncle Jiu on the back of his hand.
"Behave yourself, wait until the master moves the chopsticks before you can take the chopsticks." Uncle Jiu reminded in a low voice.
Qiu Sheng swallowed his saliva and took his hand back reluctantly, but his eyes kept staring at Dashuai Xu's chopsticks, and he straightened his body like an athlete waiting for the starting gun.
Fortunately, Marshal Xu was a cheerful person. He just said a few polite words and then signaled that everyone could eat.
Qiu Sheng stared at the chopsticks in Marshal Xu's hand with eager eyes, while thinking about which dish he should eat first.
But just when Marshal Xu's chopsticks were about to touch the food, someone outside suddenly reported: "Marshal, Master Gao and Taoist Priest Qingxin are back."
"That's great. Let's ask the kitchen to add two pairs of bowls and chopsticks."
As Marshal Xu said, he put down his chopsticks and stood up to go out to greet him.
Qiu Sheng had already picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up the roast chicken in front of him, but when he saw Marshal Xu leaving his seat and Uncle Jiu's stern eyes, he could only swallow his saliva and put down his chopsticks honestly.
Gao Banxian walked into the hall accompanied by Taoist Priest Qingxin. As soon as he stepped across the threshold, Taoist Priest Qingxin said: "As expected of Gao Banxian, just by casually walking around, you can discover the real reason why there are zombies in Hongyue Town."
Like Uncle Jiu, Gao Banxian also discovered a corpse raising ground not far from Hongyue Town, and speculated that the zombies nearby were caused by that corpse raising ground.
Marshal Xu touched his chin and said, "Even Master Gao said it was a matter of corpse raising. It seems that he is right."
Master Qingxin heard the meaning of Xu Dashuai's words and hurriedly asked: "Did anyone else discover the corpse raising ground?"
"Yes, Brother Mo Xian just brought back an expert, and he also discovered the corpse-raising land you mentioned."
At this time, Mo Shouchen came over with Uncle Jiu and Qiu Sheng, and gave a brief introduction.
After learning Gao Banxian's identity, Uncle Jiu asked in surprise: "Is this the legendary Gao Banxian?"
Taoist Master Qingxin said flatteringly: "You guessed it right, this is Zhenren Gao, known as 'Sai Zhongkui' in the world!"
"I have admired my name for so long, I am so rude to you!"
After speaking, Uncle Jiu cupped his fists and knelt down on one knee to salute. This shows how much he respects Gao Banxian.
"It's just a false name, not worth mentioning!"
Although he said it was just a false name, Gao Banxian had a very helpful expression on his face. It seemed that Taoist Master Qingxin was just right in flattering him.
After a brief introduction, several people sat down around the round table, and Qiu Sheng finally got his wish and had the long-awaited roast chicken.
Halfway through the meal, Marshal Xu suddenly picked up his wine glass and said, "Zombies have been appearing in Hongyue Town recently, killing people frequently and giving me a headache."
"Several experts are gathered here today. I think this must be God's arrangement. I also hope that you can help and help Hongyue Town tide over the difficulties. I promise that I will not hesitate to give up all my wealth!
"
After saying that, Marshal Xu picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Taoist Master Qingxin quickly picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Commander, you are serious. My Qingxiu Temple and Hongyue Town are neighbors. I will definitely not sit idly by and watch. Moreover, there is now Gao Zhenren in charge, who can deal with just a few zombies and even...
Not a piece of cake!”
Uncle Jiu also clasped his fists and said, "As a cultivator, it is your duty to conquer demons. Even if the commander doesn't tell you, I will find a way to help Hongyue Town."
Seeing that Taoist Priest Qingxin and Uncle Jiu had expressed their opinions, Marshal Xu turned his attention to Gao Banxian again.
Gao Banxian had just bitten a large piece of elbow. When he saw Marshal Xu looking at him, he wiped the oil from his mouth with his sleeve, then chewed and said:
"I'm getting older. If I want to have a few days of leisure, I'll leave it to my apprentice. He's also very capable."
Taoist Master Qingxin said humbly: "Zhenren Gao, I have fought against your disciples before. Our strengths are about the same. We two juniors alone may not be able to compete."
In fact, Taoist Priest Qingxin didn't take Mo Shouchen seriously, but because of Gao Zhenren's face, he said against his will that the two men were about the same strength.
Mo Shouchen knew that Gao Banxian was almost like an ordinary old man now, and he wouldn't be able to help much even if he went there, so he said, "There is Uncle Jiu, too. With his help, there will definitely be no problem."
Taoist Priest Qingxin glanced at Uncle Jiu, showed a somewhat forced smile, and then said with a slight contempt: "This friend of yours can deal with ordinary zombies, but the things hidden under the corpse raising ground are very vicious, and he may not be able to help.
What are you busy with?"
Uncle Jiu was Mo Shouchen's idol, but Taoist Master Qingxin's attitude was so disdainful that he was so angry that he stood up and wanted to seek justice for Uncle Jiu.
But at this time, Marshal Xu stood up and said: "Everyone here, as long as you are willing to help Hongyue Town, no matter strong or weak, I promise that I will be grateful."
"But in order to be more sure, I still hope that Mr. Gao can personally take action. You don't need to do anything. Just give some guidance and we will have a better understanding."
Marshal Xu has already said this. If he refuses again, the scene will not look good.
Moreover, he also said that there was no need for Gao Banxian to take action, so Gao Banxian nodded and said, "Okay then, I will go with you."
In this way, a few people discussed while eating and decided to go to the corpse place the next day to take a look.
After returning to the room after dinner, Mo Shouchen said angrily: "Who the hell is that bullshit Taoist priest? He dares to question Uncle Jiu's strength. He really overestimates his capabilities."
With his full stomach, Gao Banxian slowly sat on the chair while holding the table, then picked up the teacup, blew on it, took a sip, and then said: "The little Taoist priest named Lin is indeed average in ability. I suggest you advise him.
Don’t wade into this muddy water.”
Hearing that Gao Banxian also said that Uncle Jiu was not strong enough, Mo Shouchen said angrily: "What kind of ecstasy soup did that guy pour into you, and you rebelled in just half a day?"
Gao Banxian snorted softly and said: "I am not the superficial person you said. Although the little Taoist priest named Lin has good qualifications, he does not have a good teacher to guide him."
"So his cultivation has just entered the Qi refining stage. If he can't break through the bottleneck, he won't even be able to reach the level of pure heart."
Mo Shouchen saw Gao Banxian's serious expression, so he must be telling the truth.
But in his memory, Uncle Jiu was clearly a master who could overcome any difficulties he encountered.
Could it be that the Uncle Jiu he met in this script is not the same person as the Uncle Jiu he knew?
Mo Shouchen felt a little disappointed because he had not met a real idol, but he suddenly looked at Gao Banxian, with excitement in his eyes.
Gao Banxian protected his chest with both hands and said in horror: "Why are you looking at me like this? Although you helped me recover my true body, you can't have any bad thoughts about me!"
Mo Shouchen made a sound and said: "You have a beautiful idea! I just want you to teach Uncle Jiu all the Taoism you know."
