Chapter 3 Banana Tree Essence
"Hey hey, it's okay. I've liked to run around since I was a child."
Hearing Luo Chen's polite words, Qiu Sheng subconsciously touched the back of his head and seemed to be a little embarrassed to reply. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Luo Zhen beside him with the afterglow of his eyes. His slightly thick and thick eyebrows raised slightly, looking extremely excited.
"Since Uncle Jiu called, let's go back now."
How can Luo Chen's cultivation vision be? How can he not see Qiu Sheng's admiration for his sister in front of him? Listening to Uncle Jiu talking about it occasionally, this guy rushed out every time and asked his brother and sister to go back. It's funny, but it's not broken.
Thinking of Qiu Sheng's careful thoughts, Luo Chen's eyes glanced at his sister unconsciously. Seeing that she was still angry and ignored people with a cold face, she suddenly felt a little headache.
Immediately, he turned his eyes to Yi Qing's body, with a little resentment.
"Uncle Jiu is one of the largest groups of people in Qingfeng Town, so most people in the town call him Uncle Jiu, but no one calls him by his real name. And because of some of the Taoism of our Maoshan School in the Uncle Jiu's Guild, some evil and unclean things that have appeared in the town over the years have been rescued by Uncle Jiu.
Even if he is a brother, there is nothing he can do about this kind of thing. Luo Chen sighed secretly and could only be regarded as invisible. Walking to Uncle Jiu's house, he simply began to introduce Uncle Jiu's father-in-law to Yi Qing.
" Speaking of which, Uncle Jiu is also a disciple of Maoshan. When we arrived in the town a few days ago, we had been living in Uncle Jiu's house. These days, thanks to Uncle Jiu's care.
Yi Qing followed Luo Chen Qiusheng. While quietly listening to Luo Chen's introduction, he looked at Luo Zhen, who pouted his little mouth.
Now Yi Qing finally understands why the little girl suddenly turned around. Looking at the little fox who looked as if nothing had happened again, Yi Qing immediately learned what Luo Chen did just now, so he didn't know what to do.
Along the way, I met a lot of town residents on the road. Unexpectedly, they came forward one after another with a smile on their faces and greeted Luo Chen's brothers and sisters. They could faintly see the respect and awe in their eyes.
This makes Yi Qing a little stunned.
"The folk customs of Qingfeng Town are simple and not confused by the outside world. Therefore, I believe in ghosts and gods.
Seeing Yi Qing's doubts, Luo Chen suddenly sighed. Since going down the mountain, the people in the world have no longer believed in ghosts and gods. They have lost their spiritual light and are muddle-headed.
He once thought that he could still meet such a group of simple people in such a small town. Thinking of showing a smile, he continued to say,
"In fact, this phenomenon is mostly due to Uncle Jiu. Over the years, there have also been many cases of unclean things coming out and harming people in the town, and uncle Jiu has rescued them every time. In personal experience, people in the town will naturally not doubt the authenticity of ghosts and gods.
Talking casually, I didn't realize that I had come to a rather old courtyard.
There have been many modern buildings in the town, but this small courtyard with the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties still remains a lot, and people have lived there for generations.
"Dao Luo is back, so let's eat."
As soon as you enter the door, there is a huge courtyard with a piece of purple bamboo and two or three tall ancient trees. Several places were opened under the courtyard wall and some vegetables common to farmers were planted. There are also several grape shelves, and the winding and stretched vines have brought an intoxicating green to the courtyard.
At this time, before the courtyard is close to the innermost house, there is a large stone table.
There is a man sitting on a wooden bench smoking dry smoke, about forty or fifty years old. Although his head is white, he doesn't look old at all, and he looks extremely strong. The most strange thing is that the man raised his eyebrows on his face, and at a glance, he only felt a kind of righteousness and majesty.
As soon as they saw Luo Chen and others entering the door, they immediately took away the dry smoke in their mouths and said with a smile.
"Uncle Jiu, didn't I say that you can call me Luo Chen? Why do you still see me like this?"
Seeing this person, Luo Chen didn't feel a trace of respect. This kind of respect has nothing to do with Taoism. Just hearing Uncle Jiu's greeting, the next moment, the corners of his mouth immediately showed a trace of helplessness.
"Ha ha, I don't know if these two are?"
Uncle Jiu naturally felt the respect for Luo Chen, but he avoided answering Luo Chen's advice for the first time. Since ancient times, the etiquette can't be abandoned. When I was young, I was lucky enough to learn a few Maoshan Taoist skills with a Maoshan Taoist priest.
Although he was not included in the door wall by the Taoist priest, he has always regarded himself as a disciple of Maoshan. Now that you meet a real descendant of Maoshan like Luo Chen, you can't lose your courtesy.
When I met the Maoshan Daochang, I was too old and my bones had grown into shape, so I had to go back to the town.
Speaking of which, this is the regret of Uncle Jiu's life. At this time, he was able to meet the real practice of Taoism. Although he doesn't have much thoughts in his heart, he doesn't want to rely on the old.
Uncle Jiu's eyes fell on Yi Qing and Su Mei, who had been behind Luo Chen, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Poverty Tao Yiqing is Luo Chen's good friend, and this is Su Mei."
Unexpectedly, Uncle Jiu was not as white-bearded and trembling with crutches as he imagined. Yi Qing was also slightly stunned at first. Immediately, he smiled and realized that this was what he had thought before.
Presumably, the ninth uncle was called like this by the residents of the town because of his generation, not his age.
Seeing Uncle Jiu's question, Yi Qing didn't need Luo Chen to introduce him. He smiled and said it himself. Although he felt that there was only an extremely weak mana in the ninth uncle's body in front of him, Yi Qing naturally would not look down on the other party for this reason.
"It turned out to be Taoist priest Yi. It's rude."
Listening to Yi Qing's words claiming to be poor, Uncle Jiu immediately did not dare to treat the young man in front of him who was similar to the young generation in the town as an ordinary person. He is not only Luo Chen's good friend, but also a fellow.
That is to say, the cultivation of the young man in front of him is probably similar to that of Luo Chen, but it is not comparable to his half-baked level.
"Taochang Yi also came for the zombies mentioned by Daochang Luo?"
With a flash of light in his eyes, Uncle Jiu immediately thought of the intention of Yi Qing, and his face suddenly became extremely cautious. If, according to Luo Chen said a few days ago, there are extremely powerful zombies in the deep forest near the town, I'm afraid that everyone in the town will be in danger.
"Did Uncle Jiu ever know about zombies?"
Along the way, Luo Chen also told Yi Qing about the discovery a few days ago. At this time, when he saw Uncle Jiu mention it, he took the opportunity to ask.
"There have been a few of those things near this town before. They all appear at night. The whole body is hard and imprejectable. I like fresh blood the most.
In the early years, many people in the town raised some cattle, sheep and livestock. Once that thing appeared, it would definitely cause some harm and suck up the blood of the livestock. In those few times, I took action in time to subdue the zombies and finally burned them into ashes with fire.
Uncle Jiu frowned slightly when he heard the words and couldn't help recalling and saying.
Listening to Uncle Jiu's words, Yi Qing looked sideways. He didn't expect that the one in front of him had seen the zombies and subdued them.
"If you need anything, please feel free to ask them. Zombies are so harmful. At the beginning, some townspeople were bitten to death by the zombie. As a result, the corpse invaded, and they also mutated into zombie-like monsters.
Without paying attention to the subtle changes on Yi Qing's face, Uncle Jiu habitually took a sip of dry smoke. Thinking of the harm of that thing, my face was full of seriousness.
Suddenly, the topic changed, "But now it's the most important thing to fill your stomach first. Wen Cai, why don't you bring the food?" Uncle Jiu shouted to the kitchen inside in the last sentence.
"Come on!" As soon as Uncle Jiu's words fell, a young man of the same age as Qiu Sheng had quickly stepped out of the kitchen. With thick eyebrows and big eyes, his body is not tall or short, and his face is full of simple appearance. At this time, there were two plates of steaming dishes on both hands, and there was an extremely loud reply in his mouth.
As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, Wen Cai couldn't help looking at the strange face with the afterglow of the corners of his eyes. Just now in the kitchen, listening to the master's tone, he was very polite and respectful, and he faintly heard zombies and other words, so he couldn't help but be curious.
It's just that when I saw Su Mei's face clearly, Wen Cai's face was suddenly stunned. She is as beautiful as Miss Luo Zhen! No, she is a little more beautiful than Miss Luozhen. All of a sudden, I was stunned, and the plate in my hand suddenly shook and splashed a little soup.
"Where are your eyes looking!" Seeing his apprentice's appearance, Uncle Jiu's eyebrows trembled, and his face suddenly became tiger. He dragged the ending and said,
"Go back to the kitchen and bring the food. Qiu Sheng, you can also help."
Wen Cai looked at Su Mei who had just arrived and lost her soul. As for Qiu Sheng, she was not much better. She couldn't walk at the first sight of Luo Zhen. For the thoughts of his two apprentices, the so-called old spirit, ghosts, and the ninth uncle's experience at this age is so rich that he can see through it at a glance.
Although they are a little angry and make a fool of themselves, they also know that Luo Zhen and Su Mei in front of them are indeed peerless people.
My two apprentices have never seen such a beautiful girl since they were born. At this age, it is normal to be obsessed.
