Chapter 317 Mr. Spiritual 11
"Brother Daoist, how do you play this kind of thing?" Uncle Jiu was also a mischievous person, and he started with a critical hit.
Mao Shanming was still holding the jar of deer antler wine in his arms, his old face flushed.
"Haha, you're in trouble!" A Qiang pointed at Mao Shanming and shouted with glee.
"Are you saying it or am I saying it?" Uncle Jiu looked at Aqiang dissatisfiedly.
"You said it!" Aqiang wilted.
"Brother Daoist, you can't afford to mess with this kind of thing!" The love between a human and a ghost is not something that everyone dares to play with. If you do, you might end up having your marrow sucked out of your bones and die without a burial place!
"Ah, ha..." Mao Shanming stammered twice and shamelessly put down the jar of wine he was holding.
Seeing this, Uncle Jiu didn't intend to embarrass him any further, and turned his head to ask Aqiang.
"Aqiang, where's the jar?"
"Master, it's there!" A Qiang said, pointing to a jar of sorghum wine in the corner.
"Aqiang, return the jar to Brother Taoist!" Uncle Jiu ordered.
"Ah? No!" A Qiang flatly refused. He was tortured so badly by the two little devils. How could he give up without venting his anger?
"Is it you who makes the decision or me?" Uncle Jiu asked Aqiang.
"I'm in charge!" Ah Qiang blurted out, then looking at Uncle Jiu's expression, he quickly changed his words, "I'm in charge, or you have the final say!"
"Brother Daoist, we are all from the same sect. You know the first commandment of Maoshan, right?" Uncle Jiu asked Maoshan Ming with his hands behind his back.
Mao Shanming nodded, "Of course I know, good and evil are in opposition, a lifelong struggle!"
Ren Yinyin curled her lips. Isn't it even more hateful to do something knowingly and still do it?
People who are greedy for money, lustful, and willing to cheat and deceive others will only ruin the reputation of Maoshan.
"Do you know that you still raise ghosts?" Uncle Jiu asked with a frown.
"That's right, I have two more!" Ah Qiang interrupted, but was glared at by Uncle Jiu and stepped aside awkwardly.
"Brother Taoist, I wonder why you want to raise them?" Uncle Jiu looked at Mao Shanming with a puzzled look and asked.
Mao Shanming scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Hey, I'm just trying to make a living."
After hearing this, Uncle Jiu frowned slightly and said earnestly, "The world is so vast, and there are countless ways to make a living. Not to mention two meals a day, even three meals a day and a place to sleep is not difficult."
After saying that, he lifted the curtain and walked out. Seeing this, several people followed him.
When everyone was outside, Uncle Jiu stopped, turned around and looked at Mao Shanming, and continued to ask, "How were your lives before you raised those two things?"
Mao Shanming sighed and answered truthfully: "Oh, don't mention it. Life was really hard back then!"
Uncle Jiu nodded, showing his understanding, and then asked, "What will you do after you raise them?"
Mao Shanming thought for a moment and said with a bitter face, "It's even sadder!"
Uncle Jiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, and said, "That's right, ghosts are ominous creatures, combining eighteen kinds of disasters in one... If they stay with people for a long time, they will definitely bring bad luck to people..."
Mao Shanming looked at Uncle Jiu with a conflicted look on his face. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, but ultimately had to admit that what Uncle Jiu said was true. "That's true!"
"I'm glad you figured it out!" Uncle Jiu gestured to Aqiang, "Give him back the wine jar!"
"Ah? No!"
A Qiang was very reluctant, but Uncle Jiu glared at him and A Qiang immediately backed down, and the jar of wine in his hand fell into Uncle Jiu's hands.
Uncle Jiu handed the wine jar to Mao Shanming and said, "You decide for yourself!"
"Okay!" Mao Shanming took the wine jar, nodded and thanked him, then walked outside.
"Master, will he release the two little ghosts?" Ren Yinyin, who had been observing silently, spoke at this time.
Uncle Jiu shook his head and sighed, "I don't know! I can only do this much. What happens next depends on Mao Shanming's own choice."
Just when the master and the disciple were expressing their feelings, Aqiang, who was unwilling to be lonely, jumped out again.
"Master, this world is so unfair!" Ah Qiang muttered indignantly, "Those ghosts can see us so easily, but we can't see them."
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the scene of himself being tortured to death by those two little devils kept appearing in his mind.
At this moment, Uncle Jiu's eyebrows moved slightly, as if he thought of something interesting.
The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and then he said to Aqiang slowly, "If you want ghosts to be unable to see you, it's actually not that difficult."
When Ah Qiang heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he asked anxiously, "Really? Master, please tell me what you can do!"
Uncle Jiu deliberately kept the question a secret and said slowly, "It's simple. All you have to do is smear the soot on your body, isn't it?"
After saying that, he walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back.
Seeing this, Ren Yinyin, who was standing by, quickly covered her mouth, fearing that she would laugh out loud.
She muttered to herself: "Master is setting a trap for his apprentice again!"
Ah Qiang, however, believed Uncle Jiu's words without a doubt. He rubbed his hands excitedly and said to himself, "Great! This way, those ghosts won't be able to find me!"
Looking at Aqiang's innocent look, Ren Yinyin couldn't help but remind him, "Junior brother, people are three parts afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are seven parts afraid of people. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them, they generally won't come to mess with you."
However, Aqiang was already overwhelmed by the "magic recipe" he had obtained and completely ignored his senior sister's advice.
He said smugly, "Senior Sister, look, if everyone can't see each other, wouldn't that be fair? Then, hmph, I'll see who dares to mess with me!"
He said so, but he knew that rubbing pomelo leaves on the eyes could make one see ghosts.
Hehehehe, by then, the ghosts won't be able to see him, but he will be able to see the ghosts. Offense and defense will be reversed, let's see how he kills those two little ghosts.
"A Qiang, you are so smart!" Shi Shaojian praised, which made A Qiang even more proud.
He couldn't wait to try it out, "Sister, Brother, let me give it a try."
After saying that, he ran into the kitchen, took out some soot from the bottom of the pot and smeared it on his face, but that was not enough. Seeing that the stove hole was very big, he simply crawled into it.
Seeing that he was excited, Ren Yinyin shook her head and said nothing more.
"Aqiang is not interested in practicing the right way, but is very interested in some unconventional ways. This gives my uncle a headache." Shi Shaojian said with a smile on his face, gloating.
Upon hearing this, Ren Yinyin rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Are you happy to see my master making fun of you?"
Seeing this, Shi Shaojian quickly suppressed his smile and explained seriously, "No way! I'm just worried about my uncle! After all, Aqiang always likes to do some weird things, and I don't know if he will cause any trouble."
Ren Yinyin naturally wouldn't believe what he said. She snorted coldly and turned her head away, ignoring him.
Since returning to Uncle Jiu's side, the two of them have been under his watchful eye, and they haven't had much time to spend together privately. Shi Shaojian is full of resentment about this, and has been holding back a lot of anger in his heart.
Seeing that Yinyin was angry, Shi Shaojian approached her with a playful smile, took her hand, and suggested softly, "Yinyin, you didn't eat much for dinner, you must be hungry now. How about we go to the night market and buy some delicious food?"
Ren Yinyin was a little hesitant. It would be bad if Uncle Jiu found out if he went out to play so late.
But Shi Shaojian refused to give in and continued to tempt him, saying, "The night market is very lively and there are many fun things to do. Besides, my uncle is an old man and goes to bed early. He will definitely be asleep by the time we get back!"
