Chapter 48: Ninth Uncle's Confession
There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever.
The master-disciple relationship between him, Qiu Sheng and Wencai is probably about to end. Although they will still treat each other as master and disciple when they meet in the future, there won't be much contact.
Ordinary people and cultivators are people in two worlds, and low-level cultivators and high-level cultivators are also people in two worlds.
As for Uncle Zeng Kui, he somehow believed from the bottom of his heart that Zeng Kui would have a place in today's world, even though he was not proficient in metaphysics and secret arts, and he had never told Zeng Kui's fortune.
But Uncle Jiu just believed that Zeng Kui would do something good.
The New Year has passed, but the spirit of the New Year has not ended. The first, second, and third days of the Lunar New Year are still full of joy.
However, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai still couldn't help themselves. That night was a huge blow to them, so Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai vowed not to "gamble" again.
Uncle Jiu was very happy about this. No matter how much money he had involved in "gambling", it would be equal to zero.
Uncle Jiu has not taught Zeng Kui any Taoist knowledge since the Chinese New Year. He has almost finished teaching him everything he knows, and what remains is some experience from traveling in the world.
Uncle Jiu told these martial arts experiences in the form of stories, and Zeng Kui and the others listened with great interest.
On the evening of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the four masters and apprentices sat together. This was called by Uncle Jiu.
Zeng Kui thought that Uncle Jiu was going to tell a story again, so he took his seat early.
Uncle Jiu's stories are not only lively and interesting, but also very helpful experience and knowledge that he doesn't want to miss.
But there seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere today.
Uncle Jiu was sitting in his exclusive seat. Usually there would be a pot of tea on the table next to Uncle Jiu, but today there were two boxes, one large and one small.
Zeng Kui and Qiu Sheng had both seen the small box. It was a reward for doing work at Qiu's house.
As for the big box, none of the three of them had seen it.
"We are all here. I have something to explain to my master today. You must listen carefully." Uncle Jiu said to Zeng Kui and the others.
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what the master meant today.
"Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai have been with me the longest. I watched you grow up. In my eyes, you two are exactly the same as my children." Uncle Jiu said to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, his eyes full of love.
color.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were both a little confused.
Because the master has never said such intimate words to them, but both of them feel sweet in their hearts. This is the master's approval.
After finishing speaking to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, Uncle Jiu looked at Zeng Kui again.
"Zeng Kui, you have been with me for only half a year, but I am very satisfied with you, in every aspect.
And I often wonder why the master-disciple relationship between us couldn't come earlier."
After hearing what Uncle Jiu said, Zeng Kui was also very excited. This was the first time he had received such a straightforward compliment.
And it comes from compliments from people he cares about.
The tall Zeng Kui lowered his head and his eyes were filled with water.
"I called you here today to announce something."
Uncle Jiu looked at the three of them and paused for a moment before continuing: "My master is about to leave. It is the last moment for Maoshan to call me back to the sect."
As soon as Uncle Jiu said these words.
There was a look of astonishment on the faces of the three people. They never thought that Uncle Jiu would leave, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
"Master, I will go with you."
Wencai was the first to stand up and said very excitedly.
Wencai had no father or mother. If Uncle Jiu hadn't adopted him, he might have died a long time ago, so in Wencai's heart, Uncle Jiu was his father.
However, Qiu Sheng and Zeng Kui didn't say anything. Both of them had higher character than Wen Cai, and they understood that Uncle Jiu would definitely not take them with him after what he just said.
Uncle Jiu waved his hand and motioned for Wencai to sit down.
"I can't take you to Maoshan with me, and there are many things that I can't do anything about.
Moreover, going to Maoshan this time is not just playing tricks. The path of cultivation is full of dangers. We have only been active in a few surrounding counties before, and in the entire land of China where we have been, what we have seen is just a drop in the ocean.
"
"Wen Cai, Qiu Sheng, you two actually have some talent in cultivation, but it's because of your teacher's lax teaching that you have been neglected, and you haven't achieved any results after so many years.
I also know that your ambitions are not above cultivation, but I have saved some money over the years..."
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai wanted to say something when they heard this, but Uncle Jiu waved his hand to stop them.
Uncle Jiu continued: "A few days before Qiu was born, your aunt came to see you as your teacher. She said that she had found a good girl for you and you were very satisfied with her. So your aunt asked me if I could let you go out to get married and have children.
I didn't agree at that time, but after tonight you can go back with your aunt!
Also, my teacher knows that you want to open a Western grocery store and become a rich man, so go ahead and do it! You are very smart and your business will improve."
After Xiang Qiusheng told Uncle Jiu, he said to Wencai: "You are the one who worries the most as a teacher. You have been half-assed at everything from childhood to university. But fortunately, you are relatively strong and can sleep well no matter where you are.
So this Yizhuang and the surrounding land will be left to you. You may want to continue doing the business of Yizhuang in the future or not. It’s all up to you. I won’t interfere too much as a teacher.”
As he spoke, Uncle Jiu took out a few documents from the big box, which were all the certificates of Yizhuang and the surrounding land.
Uncle Jiu pushed the document to Wencai, and then Uncle Jiu took out twelve small yellow croakers from the small box and pushed them in front of Qiu Sheng, and gave the remaining four to Zeng Kui.
There are also gold bars and some oceans in the big box.
Uncle Jiu divided the ocean into three parts, and Zeng Kui and the three of them all got one.
"Part of the remaining money will be taken away as a teacher. After all, life as a teacher also requires money. The other part is for your uncle Simu. What your uncle needs most now is money, so I will do this
Senior brother must help me.
Also, your Uncle Four Eyes will stay for a while after I leave. If you have any difficulties, you can go to your Uncle Four Eyes, and your Uncle Four Eyes will definitely try his best to help you deal with it."
And Qiusheng and Wencai, if you still want to practice, you can continue. The current world situation is really too complicated, and you can solve some problems if you have some skills."
At this point, Uncle Jiu has finished speaking. Of course, there is still a lot he wants to say in his heart, but it is definitely not clear in a few words, so it is better not to say it and leave it at that.
"You two go out first, Zeng Kui stays here and I have something to talk to alone." Uncle Jiu said.
