The years when I opened a coffin shop in the world of Ninth Uncle

Chapter 43
Xu Ping also had a gentle face, but he didn't know where to start with words of comfort.

He knew what Uncle Jiu was thinking.

Qiu Sheng's talent is fair, but he is mischievous by nature. He worships Uncle Jiu as his teacher just to learn skills.

Although he is very filial, but with his temperament, it is obvious that he will not inherit the mantle in the future.

But Wencai is honest and simple, but his aptitude is not good, so it's okay for him to follow Uncle Jiu.

If Uncle Jiu is a hundred years later, if you want him to sit in Yizhuang, he will be alone.

One word, difficult!

In this dharma-ending era, not to mention those rich and noble families, even ordinary merchants and farmers rarely send their children to learn this.

The reason is simple, this line of work is both dangerous and easily disliked by others.

It's better to go out and join the army, give it a go, maybe a small soldier will become a commander.

Moreover, no matter how awesome you are, you will still be beaten into a sieve if you pass by with a shuttle.

Okay, you say you have practiced the indestructible magic of Vajra, then I will fire a mortar, are you afraid?

Only those rare people who stand at the top are not afraid of the existence of firearms.

But there are few such people in the world.

The times have changed.

Accepting apprentices is difficult.

For a moment, the room was dull.

Uncle Jiu's face was gloomy. The problems he faced were very realistic, and there was no successor.

That's why after seeing Xu Ping again, the idea of ​​accepting disciples came to him.

It's just, alas...

Compared with the master behind Xu Ping, he felt unworthy.

Now I have encountered a good seedling again, so I will worry about gains and losses.

After a moment of silence, Uncle Jiu's mood gradually calmed down, and he said flatly: "All things are natural, everything follows fate, whether there is a master-student fate, it depends on my luck with her."

……

"What, apprentice?"

Gu Nianhua looked surprised, her eyes were confused, and her heart was flustered.

Uncle Jiu had a kind face, and even smiled flatteringly: "Yes, do you want to learn something from me?"

Gu Nianhua thought twice and looked at Xu Ping: "Master Xu, are you also his apprentice?"

Xu Ping shook his head: "No!"

Qiusheng and Wencai watched without saying a word, thinking that it would be nice to have a junior sister.

Hearing this, Gu Nianhua fell into deep thought.

But Uncle Jiu is still persuasive, just like a bad uncle who kidnapped a little girl: "Your name is Gu Nianhua, Xiaohua, think about it, if you learn from me and be respected, you don't need to be a beggar, let alone be afraid of being killed." Bully."

Seeing the slightly familiar expression, Gu Nianhua couldn't help but glance at Xu Ping, and said weakly, "Then, will you bully me?"

"Absolutely not."

Uncle Jiu's words were powerful: "I never bully my apprentice, nor will I allow others to bully my apprentice, you can rest assured."

Qiusheng and Wencai listened to each other, looking at each other speechlessly, and didn't feel like interrupting.

Xu Ping knew that the little girl was sensitive, so after thinking about it, he said, "The one standing in front of you, um, he's not a womanizer..."

"And if you agree to him, then the two next to you are considered to be your senior brothers. One has a heart, and the other doesn't like women."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Sheng hurriedly defended, "I don't like men either."

"Cuckoo~~"

Gu Nianhua was immediately happy when she heard it, and let out a silver-like laugh.

It seems that staying here seems to be pretty good.

Seeing Uncle Jiu's sincere face, Gu Nianhua began to think seriously.

As the saying goes, if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black.

Since Shopkeeper Xu is on good terms with them, it is impossible for them to be bad people.

but……

Gu Nianhua's face was embarrassed, but she still said it: "Uncle Jiu, to tell you the truth, I have enemies, or someone has always wanted to arrest me. If I worship you as my teacher, I will definitely bring this trouble to you. For you."

Uncle Jiu was taken aback when he heard the words: "Who?"

"White Lotus Sect!"

Xu Ping frowned, it was the White Lotus Sect again.

Hearing the name of the White Lotus Sect, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but frowned and asked, "I can know why?"

Gu Nianhua glanced at Xu Ping, was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, I came out of the palace. I used to be considered Gege. They want to arrest me and let me take them..."

"Anti-people restoration scene."

As soon as Xu Ping heard these four words, Xu Ping felt a little troubled and didn't know where to start.

Together with this group of scourges, there is no end to it.

Uncle Jiu pondered for a long while, and said fearlessly, "Hmph, if you come to my Maoshan, if there are really white lotus demons coming, Maoshan will uphold justice for you."

What the White Lotus Sect has done is disgusting, even the major sects in the world don't like it very much.

After getting an affirmative answer, Gu Nianhua finally let go of the worries in her heart.

Seeing that Uncle Jiu had an angry look on his face, she was more fierce. She thought for a while and said, "Well, I'm actually rather stupid. I suffered a lot when I practiced bone reduction before, and I was often beaten. Then I will ask you as my teacher. If you don't learn well, will you hit me?"

This... Uncle Jiu quickly glanced at his apprentice with warning eyes.

Turning his head, he smiled again: "Don't worry, didn't I just say that, if you don't believe me, you can ask them, I never reach out to hit my apprentice."

Qiusheng and Wencai: "..."

Xu Ping nodded: "Well, Uncle Jiu doesn't reach out to hit his apprentice..."

Usually take the guy to fight.

Gu Nianhua pondered for a while, then raised her head with a firm face: "Okay, I agree."

……

Maoshan is a big school of Taoism, and Sanmao Zhenjun is respected as the patriarch.

They are Mao Ying, Mao Gu, and Mao Zhong.

Majoring in classics such as Shangqing.

Later, he returned to Zhengdao and worshiped Zhang Tianshi.

The original Maoshan apprenticeship ceremony was rather cumbersome. Choose an auspicious day, bathe and burn incense, and invite fellow Taoists to observe the ceremony and testify.

But this place is thousands of miles away from the Maoshan Sect, so it doesn't matter that much.

And the only senior brother who had a lot of contacts, Simu and Qianhe, didn't have time to inform them, so they could only inform them afterwards.

But there must be some processes, otherwise it will seem a bit random.

Therefore, Uncle Jiu wanted to ask Xu Ping to be his protector.

This guarantor is not a casual job.

It is to come forward as a guarantee that this disciple will devote himself to learning the Tao, and will not go out to kill people, set fires, or do evil.

Xu Ping thought for a while, and agreed without hesitation.

If Gu Nianhua has achieved something in his studies and really messes around outside, he doesn't mind making a mark for the Yin-Yang Illustrated Book.

Everything was ready, and that night, Uncle Jiu held a teacher apprenticeship ceremony.

The main reason is that Gu Nianhua will change his mind, so if he settles down early, he can feel at ease in his heart.

Incense was lingering on the altar, Patriarch San Mao was ranked first, Master Zhang Tianshi was ranked last, and the tributes were lined up in a row.

Xu Ping stood on the right.

Qiu Shengwen was standing on the left.

Uncle Jiu stood in the middle, holding three sticks of incense, at forehead level, facing the patriarch tablet.

Gu Nianhua learns from others, and it is the same.

"The patriarch is on top. Lin Fengjiao, an unworthy disciple of the sect, wants to make the family bigger and accept Gu Nianhua as an apprentice. Please bless the patriarch and carry it forward."

After finishing speaking, he took Gu Nianhua and put the incense on the incense burner with his left hand.

"Xiao Hua, kowtow."

Gu Nianhua held the invitation card with both hands, knelt down on the futon in front of her, and respectfully kowtowed three times.

Xu Ping came out and said in a deep voice: "Gu Nianhua, today I am your guardian, if you commit crimes in the future, use tactics to commit murder, and kill innocent people indiscriminately, I will definitely clean up the house for Maoshan and Uncle Jiu."

Gu Nianhua looked up at Xu Ping with firm eyes: "I won't, definitely not."

Immediately, she turned to the tablet on the altar, her voice was like a yellow warbler:
"Disciple Gu Nianhua has long admired the prestige of his teacher's school, Shangqing Maoshan. Today, he sincerely worships his teacher and has no second thoughts. If he violates his words, the sky will be thundered, and there will be no whole body."

Uncle Jiu smiled gratifiedly when he heard the words, took the teacher's invitation card, turned around and burned it to the ancestor.

Immediately, Wen Cai brought over a cup of tea, Gu Nianhua reached out to pick it up, and turned to Uncle Jiu again.

"Disciple Gu Nianhua, pay homage to Master."

Uncle Jiu reached out to take the porcelain cup, full of joy and gratified expression.

After drinking this sip of tea, one more apprentice will be added.

Maybe in the future, it will cause trouble.

However, he pays more attention to inheritance than trouble.
