Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Chapter 152: Awakening in Wanfu Palace

Afterwards, everyone returned to the town, and as soon as they entered the inn, Lu Li asked the waiter to boil more water for the bath.

I went to the tomb and felt that my whole body was filled with the stench of decay.

Lu Li didn't plan to keep this Taoist robe anymore.

When the waiter saw these big customers who had disappeared for a few days, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

He hurried to prepare a bath and food.

An hour later.

After washing up, everyone met in the lobby on the second floor.

Uncle Jiu and Shi Jian, looking refreshed, were each holding a bowl of hot tea and drinking it comfortably.

Hua Ling sat aside fiddling with the blood of the peach tree demon. Even though it had been soaked in the corpse of Emperor Muzong of Liao, Hua Ling didn't take it seriously at all.

"Master, when are we going back, Master?"

At this time, Lu Li wanted to go back to Maoshan.

Uncle Jiu didn't even raise his eyelids.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you think we are like you young people? Let's take a rest for two days."

Uncle Jiu doesn't want to go back so soon, even though he is confident that he can advance to the Half-Step Golden Elixir stage if he goes back.

But if I want to go down the mountain in the future, I don’t know when it will be possible.

The same is true for Shi Jian, he is also used to traveling.

I went back to the mountain just to untie the knot in my heart.

Now that my heart knot has been resolved and I have reached the Golden Core Stage, I am not in such a hurry to go back.

Lu Li's anger instantly went silent. If these two bosses were not in a hurry, why should he be in a hurry?

As for the other Maoshan disciples, they didn't want to go back.

It’s so nice to have food, drinks and fun here.

When you go back to the mountains, you either practice or work. It's not as free and easy as being outside.

So the group stayed temporarily in the small town.

Anyway, Lu Li doesn't take this little money seriously.

After living there for more than half a month, he finally pissed someone off.

"You are going crazy! I have received a message that you have dealt with those people from Ziluosha Palace half a month ago.

What are you still doing there now?

Are you waiting for me to send a carriage to pick you up?

Come back quickly, or don't come back at all!"

With a snap, the Water Mirror Technique was cut off by the furious Qin Zhenren.

Shi Jian, Uncle Jiu and Lu Li were scolded by the head teacher, Master Qin, for half an hour.

There was no repetition during this period.

It can be seen how angry Qin Zhenren was about their passive resistance.

"What should we do? Let's go back!"

Uncle Jiu was afraid of his master to the core.

Since he was a child, he dared not go west if his master said east.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The old man will scold you if you come back early or late. Let's talk about it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Shi Jian, the more you tell me not to do something, the more I will do it.

Lu Li didn't say anything and just followed the two of them.

Even if the sky falls, we have them two to hold it up.

How can a junior like me make the decision?

After some hesitation, everyone finally set off on the morning of the third day.

Dozens of hours of train travel passed.

It took ten days for everyone to reach Maoshan.

The main reason is that the warlords around Maoshan have recently started fighting again.

Lu Li and his friends had no choice but to change their route.

The Jindan Zhenren of today are not the same as those thousands of years ago.

The spiritual energy was abundant at that time.

Moving mountains and filling the sea are no problem.

Nowadays, those in the Jindan stage would turn around and run away when they see a troop of thousands of people with guns.

If you can withstand rifles, can you also withstand machine guns and artillery?

After everyone returned to Wanfu Palace, Master Qin left Shi Jian, Uncle Jiu and Lu Li alone.

He closed the palace door and scolded them for most of the hour.

After the work was done, no one reported to him that he was safe.

He had worried for so long in vain.

This was a Maoshan disciple delivering a message to his master, the sect elder.

Only then did he realize that these guys had been living freely in the Meng Mansion for more than half a month.

"How did it happen?"

Uncle Jiu looked at Shi Jian and Lu Li and found that they both looked calm and at ease, as if they were in a trance.

He could only reluctantly tell Master Qin everything that had happened from the exploration of Wuzhang Valley to the secret investigation in Chicheng and then to the tomb of Emperor Muzong of Liao.

Master Qin was also shocked after hearing this.

I didn’t expect that a great demon with thousands of years of cultivation would be found in the tomb of a Liao emperor.

He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, fortunately the big monster was killed by the thunder.

Otherwise, Shi Jian and Lu Li and the others would be like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth if they went in.

These people are the pillars of Maoshan.

Then Master Qin looked at the three people with gentle eyes.

"You did a great job. This time, we finally wiped out another team from the Purple Demon Palace."

"It's all thanks to the good guidance of Master Uncle and Master, and the disciples' willingness to endure hardships."

Lu Li said with a fist clasped.

For him now, there is no need to fight for such credit.

His strength is there, and everyone knows what's going on.

Shi Jian and Uncle Jiu both looked at Lu Li sideways, they didn't care about this kind of credit.

But who doesn’t want to be praised by their master?

As expected, Master Qin said to the two of them approvingly:

"You two did a great job. I will feel relieved to have you in Maoshan in the future."

This doesn't sound right.

"Master!"

Uncle Nine Shi Jian spoke up.

Master Qin raised his hand and pressed it.

"If you can't become an immortal, you will fall sooner or later. I have seen through this a long time ago.

Your master told me in a dream some time ago that he has a position down there.

Life and death are not scary to us people of Maoshan.

Besides, I'm still looking forward to the day when Xiaoli becomes an immortal.

I just want you to grow up quickly and help me share the burden."

Lu Li and the other two breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Master Qin had foreseen something and gave the three of them a fright.

"You thought I was going to die, but I can still live for hundreds of years. You two go back, I want to talk to Xiao Li."

After seeing the two of them leave, Master Qin asked Lu Li if he had any doubts about cultivation recently.

Lu Li told Master Qin about his plan to reorganize the Maoshan Taoism he had learned.

"Your master is right. The path of cultivation is about perception.

The emergence of every spell and talisman originates from our ancestors' understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.

Take ghost-exorcising talismans, ghost-killing talismans, and evil-exorcising talismans as examples. The reason they are effective is that they contain the laws of heaven and earth.

If the way the talisman is written is changed, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced or even completely ineffective.

This is because the laws contained in these talismans have changed.

As the saying goes, there must be rules before there can be techniques. If you focus too much on the power of techniques and ignore the rules behind them, you are missing the point.

Only by deeply exploring the essence of Taoism can we truly grasp its core.

Only in this way can one go further and further on the path of cultivation and ultimately achieve the supreme path."

Master Qin's words made Lu Li even more determined to sort out what he had learned.

Lu Li then returned to Wanning Palace.

The old foreigner and Wencai saw the three people coming back.

They excitedly surrounded Hua Ling and Lu Li and asked about their experience of going down the mountain.

They had just listened to the story told by the returning disciples, but it was nowhere near as exciting as what Lu Li and Hua Ling told.

Lu Li took out the food he bought for the two and sent them to find Hua Ling.

I went to Uncle Jiu's study.

When he picked up the book "Complete Collection of Maoshan Talismans" again, his heart was filled with emotion.

More than ten years ago, it was Uncle Jiu who handed this book and "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing" to me.

Thus began his own monastic journey.

More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I have opened this book again.

Even if you have memorized it by heart.

Looking at the bookshelf, Lu Li took out another book "Maoshan Curse".

After thinking about it, I picked up a book called "Zhuangzi", which has a total of thirty-three chapters.

Lu Li was more interested in "Xinzhai" and "Zuowang".

After saying something to Uncle Jiu, he went back to his room with the book.

Uncle Jiu shook his head when he saw this. With this kid's eagerness to learn and hard work, he would have no problem in any career.
