please call me ninth uncle

Chapter 211 Acknowledging a Junior Brother

"Okay, go back and pay attention to rest, and you'll be fine in a week or so."

Inside the inn, Lin Jiu smiled at the villagers who were naked and bandaged.

"Thank you Ninth Uncle."

The villagers thanked them with a pale face, and then respected them from the bottom of their hearts, saying: "If it weren't for you, Uncle Jiu, I'm afraid that all of our village would have died tragically under the hands of horse thieves."

While speaking, he did not forget to glance at Mao Shanming, who was bandaging up other people, and felt a little slander in his heart. Fortunately, it was not the Taoist priest who helped him as the main attacker, otherwise he might not be able to stand up to the horse thief.

Of course, he wasn't dissatisfied with Mao Shanming. After all, he was just passing through his own village. He was dragged into the inn by A Qiang before and was almost cut off. Now he didn't complain, and bandaged everyone instead.

It’s just that compared with Lin Jiu’s dealing with horse thieves, Mao Shanming inevitably fell behind in his heart—it was agreed to help the village as the last hurdle to stop the horse thieves, but it turned out to be the last hurdle.

When the horse thief was fighting fiercely with everyone, the figure of the Taoist Master Maoshan really did not appear, but after the fight was over, the horse thief was all beheaded, but he appeared...

Speechless.

"I just did what was supposed to be done."

Lin Jiu smiled, and didn't say much. Dealing with those horse thieves who did all kinds of evil was in line with his philosophy of cultivating Taoism.

At this time, it was already late at night. After finishing all the horse thieves, Lin Jiu ordered everyone to find firewood and burn all the corpses of the horse thieves quickly to ensure that there would be no hidden danger of turning into ghosts or corpses.

Afterwards, he went back to the village with everyone, and the injured were taken to the inn for treatment by him.

Fortunately, not many people were injured, and most of them were minor injuries. With the assistance of Wen Cai and Mao Shanming, the treatment was not troublesome.

However, two villagers died, which made Lin Jiu sigh in his heart. He had made enough preparations, but he did not expect that someone would die, which is really a pity.

However, the horse thief is fierce and has practiced sorcery. How can it be possible not to pay a certain amount of damage, so Lin Jiu didn't think much about it.

On the other hand, Ah Xing, because he blocked the knife for Ah Qiang, there was a cut in his chest that was almost bone-deep, and he almost lost half his life.

But for Lin Jiu, it was not too difficult. First of all, he treated his injury and used mana to dispel the evil spirit on the wound to ensure that Ah Xing can fully recover.

After Ah Qiang helped Ah Xing to rest, Lin Jiu treated the other injured who were less seriously injured.

After the last injured person was helped away, Wen Cai walked over with his head slightly lowered, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lin Jiu's heart moved, he pinched the seal in his hand, and tapped Wen Cai's forehead.

laugh--

A clear light suddenly appeared, pouring into Wencai's forehead.

Only then did Lin Jiu say: "It's normal for horse thieves to feel a little uncomfortable after going through bloody battles for the first time. Don't think too much about it. Those horse thieves deserve death.

I have stabilized your mind with soul sedation, and when you sleep tonight, you will no longer feel uncomfortable. "

Hearing this, Mao Shanming next to him looked at Wen Cai, no wonder, he felt that the other party looked a little wrong.

Lian Dao: "Yes, nephew Wencai, what Brother Dao said is true. Those horse thieves are evil people. Killing them is doing a good deed. Don't think too much about it."

"Thank you, Master, Daoist."

Wen Cai said in a low voice.

"No thanks, no thanks, I didn't have time to help everyone before."

Mao Shanming waved his hands quickly, his expression looked a little awkward and awkward.

When bandaging the injured villagers earlier, although those people didn't say anything to him, he could also see that the other party probably had some opinions on him in his heart.

If you promised to help, but didn't show up at the critical moment, isn't that just breaking your promise, or even cheating?

Of course, while feeling guilty, Mao Shanming still felt a little grievance in his heart. He agreed to help, but isn't his task as the last hurdle for the horse thief?
Moreover, against more than a dozen vicious horse thieves who practiced sorcery, only two people were sacrificed and several people were injured.

Of course, he just thought about these things, and the matter has passed, so there is no need to repeat it.

But he made up his mind to wait until tomorrow morning and leave directly.

Seeing Mao Shanming's expression, Lin Jiu said seriously, "Brother Dao, don't be humble, although you were a step late before, you played a great role in this battle against the horse thieves. "

"Forehead……"

Mao Shanming was taken aback, I played a big role, what do you mean?Or are you just pure words of comfort?

"Brother Dao, think about it, it's because you guarded the last checkpoint peacefully and worked hard to stop the horse thief from retreating, so I can feel at ease, and I will not be afraid of the horse thief getting away, so I can make a move with all my strength."

Lin Jiu smiled and said: "Otherwise, if you didn't exist, Brother Dao, how dare I and how could I deal with all the horse thieves with everyone so neatly?"

"And this statement?"

Mao Shanming nodded thoughtfully, as if it was true. Without his own existence, brother Lin Dao would definitely not be able to let go of his actions, otherwise someone would have escaped without saying a horse thief.

It is undeniable that Mao Shanming's mood began to become more comfortable. Thinking of the strange eyes some villagers looked at him before, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing:
"You ignorant people, how can Brother Lin see clearly and know the role I played in this battle of horse thieves? Alas, Brother Lin understands me."

"It can be regarded as fooling around."

Seeing this, Lin Jiu heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Now, he could fool Mao Shanming to go to Simu Junior Brother with him, otherwise Mao Shanming would really feel uncomfortable and might reject him.

To be honest, Mao Shanming's role is naturally not that great. Even when dealing with horse thieves, Lin Jiu has the strength to wipe out horse thieves without Mao Shanming.

Then, Lin Jiu said with a dignified expression: "Brother Dao, there is no need to think too much about this matter. Eliminating evil and doing everything is the ideal of our generation of cultivators, and it is also the ideal of our Maoshan, so even if we have been misunderstood, but in our own hearts Just be clear."

"Well, that's what I said."

When Mao Shanming heard the words, he nodded his head in agreement.

"By the way, Brother Dao..."

At this time, Lin Jiu's voice suddenly changed: "I see that although your aura is strong, you feel a little unstable. I don't know what's wrong with your body?"

Still immersed in the approval of 'eliminating all evil and all affairs', Mao Shanming subconsciously shook his head: "No, I don't feel that there is any problem?"

"That's it."

Lin Jiu glanced at him, frowned pretendingly, and said, "Then there should be only one reason, and there may be serious trouble."

"Big, big problem?"

Mao Shanming was shocked and almost jumped up.

He was startled, and said: "Brother Dao, what do you mean by serious trouble? I eat and sleep well these days, and I really don't feel anything wrong with my body?"

Before Lin Jiu could speak, he stood up suddenly, touched his body in panic and said: "No, I had a stomachache a few days ago, it seemed that I had eaten my stomach badly, and also, I suddenly felt a month ago Stuffy, can't you, Brother Dao, is there really something wrong with my body?"

"Cough cough..."

Looking at Mao Shanming who was scaring him, Lin Jiu almost choked on his own saliva.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the smile that surged up in his heart, because he was afraid that Mao Shanming would scare him out of his mind, Lin Jiu quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, Brother Dao, I want to ask you a question first, that is Haven't you learned all the Maoshan exercises?"

"Yeah, I was naughty when I was young, so when the old man taught me, I really didn't learn very well. There are some places that I don't understand, but I filled it in myself."

Mao Shanming nodded quickly.

But the more he talked, he saw that Lin Jiu's expression became more serious, and his brows became more and more wrinkled according to his own words. He had completely forgotten that after he was dragged into the inn by A Qiang's neck, he told Lin Jiu that he was fond of playing when he was young , things that are not good at jurisprudence (see Chapter 35 for details).

Under the information asymmetry, Mao Shanming, who was fooled, couldn't help but screamed: "No way, Brother Dao, is it related to this?"

With a cautious expression on his face, but actually wanting to laugh in his heart, Lin Jiu said in a deep voice: "Well, it may indeed be the case. The Maoshan technique has gone through thousands of years, and the essence of it has already been clear, how can it be filled in at will?"

Under his heart, Lin Jiu was quite surprised: "My good fellow, you can fill in the gaps in your cultivation skills by yourself, and you can even cultivate to the level of a magician without any mistakes. I'm afraid this Mao Shanming is not a ghost who picked it up." Baocai?"

As for Mao Shanming's unsteady breath, what Lin Jiu said is indeed true, but it has little to do with martial arts, but Mao Shanming has too little actual combat experience and lacks a certain amount of tempering.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so timid, even possessing the strength of a sorcerer, but chose to cheat money to make ends meet, and was beaten to the bum by the Yang family ghosts in Tanjia Town.

Mao Shanming's problems are actually quite easy to solve, just need to fight a few more times.

Of course, the issue of his skills is also a big problem. If he doesn't make up for the follow-up skills, he may only stay in the realm of a magician in his life, and there will be no further advancement.

Mao Shanming, who didn't know Lin Jiu's thoughts, had a pale face at this time, and murmured: "It's over, it's over, I'm really going to die, could it be that I have lied too much? Brother Lin Dao said so, I... wait, brother Lin Dao !"

Ge Di, he looked at Lin Jiu with burning eyes, and said eagerly: "Brother Dao, since you can see my physical problems at a glance, you must have a solution, brother Dao, please save me!"

"Brother Dao, don't worry, I naturally won't let it go. After all, it is reasonable to say that you have also cultivated the art of my Maoshan main line. You can be regarded as half of me. It may not be certain that the person who taught you was a certain uncle of mine. .”

Lin Jiu looked sincere, Ge Di, and his voice changed: "Speaking of which, Brother Dao, why don't you call me a senior brother? It's convenient for me to better suddenly, cough, help you?"

"Brother Dao, you really have a way!"

Mao Shanming looked overjoyed, and then asked in doubt: "But what's the meaning of what you said later?"

"cough."

Lin Jiu cleared his throat and said, "It's like this, your physical problems are indeed due to the exercises.

And the way to remedy it is to learn the complete Maoshan Kungfu, so that everything can be taken care of.

But if you want to learn Maoshan technique, you must also go to Maoshan. Although you can be regarded as a disciple of Maoshan, you have never gone up to the mountain to worship the ancestor after all. "

As he said that, Lin Jiu suddenly smiled, and said again: "But if you worship Maoshan again, I'm afraid that your seniority may be lowered, and you may have to call me uncle and ancestor."

After listening, Mao Shanming almost blurted out: As long as he can save his own life, it's nothing to call Master Uncle Shizu, even if he knelt down and called Patriarch Master, it's no big deal.

But at the critical moment, he came to his senses and quickly saluted Lin Jiu: "Senior brother."

Yes, Dao brother, ah no, it is senior brother, but senior brother has already signaled that the two of them should not be called senior brothers. If this is the case, if you worship Maoshan by yourself and get the exercises, your seniority will not be lowered. .

"Hey, Junior Brother."

Lin Jiu had a look of enthusiasm... Can you not be enthusiastic? This is all right. Now that Mao Shanming has recognized this identity, then after that, as a senior brother, he asks him to do something, can he still refuse?
Ha ha……

Lin Jiu quickly suppressed the urge to laugh out loud, and saluted Mao Shanming sternly, officially recognizing this junior.

Then, he said with a smile: "You are welcome, junior brother. Don't worry, senior brother will definitely solve your problems for you.

Coincidentally, senior brother, I don't have the Maoshan Kung Fu with me, so I can't teach you it right away, but I happen to be going to my senior brother, which is your other senior brother—Simu.

You set off with me tomorrow, go to his place, he will naturally have the Maoshan Kungfu at home, just let him pass it on to you when the time comes. "

"Thank you, brother!"

Hearing this, Mao Shanming was overjoyed at first, but then he hesitated: "I'm going to Senior Brother Simu..."

To be honest, he didn't want to run around with him, and he had heard the name of that four-eyed senior brother from Lin Jiu's mouth now, who knew what kind of person he would be, what if he was unfriendly to him, what if he didn't What should I do if I pass on my own exercises?
So, he hesitated and said: "Dao, senior brother, since you also practice this exercise, why don't you just dictate it to me..."

"Eh!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jiu interrupted with a wave of his hand, and refused righteously: "Junior brother, this is absolutely impossible!

The exercises I dictated are my own way and my own opinions.

The real Maoshan method requires you to look at the main body of the method yourself, to comprehend it by yourself, so as to walk out of your own path;

If you follow the path of others, it will be harmful and useless. Not to mention that it will not solve your physical problems, but may cause even bigger problems! "

Mao Shanming was silent, he knew that what Lin Jiu said was the truth, and many of the world's cultivation methods are like this, just now he also spoke out of impatience and anxiety.

At this time, Lin Jiu, who saw what he was worried about, said: "Don't worry, brother, your brother Simu has the best relationship with me. Basically, he will listen to everything I say, and he has a good personality, and he will never know After you have a problem with your body, it will be difficult for you.

Moreover, you follow me, and you can also exchange Taoism with your four-eyed brother, which is also good for you.

After all, your four-eyed brother's strength is not bad. From my guess, it will not take long before you will enter the realm of a mage. "

Seeing that Lin Jiu had mentioned this point, Mao Shanming no longer hesitated, stood up and cupped his fists and said, "So, thank you brother."

Under his heart, he was full of admiration for Lin Jiu's words. He is indeed a disciple of Maoshan who is full of Taoism and law, and another existence who is about to become a mage.

And based on senior brother Lin Jiu's age, that senior brother with four eyes must not be too old.

'Haha, it's done! '

Hearing this, Lin Jiu was overjoyed. This time, Mao Shanming could be fooled, and he had one more helper to go to Simu, one more helper to deal with the royal zombies.

As for rashly recognizing Mao Shanming as a junior, and without Mao Shan's consent, would there be any problem?
Lin Jiu was not worried about this at all, because Mao Shanming was originally the Maoshan technique taught by Maoshan people, and he was Maoshan's disciple.

This is like one day when Lin Jiu is gone. Will Wencai and Qiusheng, who have never entered the mountain gate, be targeted by Maoshan?
Of course not!

They just haven't paid homage to the patriarch above the mountain gate, so they can be regarded as Lin Jiu's lay disciples.

They can even go to Maoshan on their own, pay homage to the ancestor of the mountain gate, and leave a list. After confirming that their strength and character are up to standard, they can go down the mountain to recruit disciples and teach them the 'Tao' taught by Lin Jiu.

"Uncle Jiu, I made some meals. Since the wounded are all bandaged, why don't we eat something together and drink some wine to relieve fatigue."

At this time, Ah Qiang walked over from the side, sweating profusely and smelling of oily smoke.

Hearing this, Lin Jiu's eyes lit up, he nodded and said: "I really want to celebrate, firstly, I got rid of the horse thief, secondly, I also recognized my junior brother."

As he said, he looked at Mao Shanming: "Haha, let's go, Junior Brother."

"Yes, brother."

Mao Shanming also smiled and said yes, the physical problem was guaranteed by Lin Jiu, and it would be resolved in a short time. He picked up a powerful senior brother for nothing, how could he be unhappy?
"Senior brother?"

Ah Qiang looked puzzled. He still understood what Uncle Jiu said before, but how did Daoist Mao Shan Ming become Uncle Jiu's junior later on?
Recognize?

Can this junior recognize himself?
