Chapter 172 The Art of Building a House(1/2)
…
"The achievements my nephew has achieved now are all thanks to the teachings of his uncle."
"Haha, you and I are from the same school. I won't say any polite words and come in quickly."
Xu Junming stepped into the courtyard, but it was difficult for the mandrill, who was eight feet tall and nearly two and a half meters tall, to get in.
"Jun Ming, this is...?"
When Uncle Jiu first came out, he felt the demonic aura on the mandrill, but seeing it following Xu Junming, he thought it was a beast tamed by his nephew, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Last night, we stayed at the Earth Temple ten miles away from here. I happened to see it coming down the mountain to cause trouble. I wanted to kill it, but I thought it was not easy to practice and the resentment on it was not heavy, so I captured it and gave it to my uncle to look after his house.
Protect the hospital!"
With a wave of his sleeves, the hood on the mandrill's head was lifted. Looking at the ferocious face, Wen Cai shuddered and hurriedly hid behind his master.
"It turns out to be a mandrill!" Uncle Jiu said.
"But my place is close to a busy city, and there are a lot of ordinary people coming and going. It will be inconvenient to leave it here, so you should take it away."
"I already have this stupid cat, so keeping this mandrill is unnecessary. Master, there is no need to refuse."
Uncle Jiu looked at the black cat lying on Xu Junming's left shoulder. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but this time his expression suddenly changed.
"First...the peak of heaven?"
Xu Junming smiled and nodded.
Seeing that he agreed, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but sigh.
He was not even sure of conquering the demonic beast that was at its peak. From this point alone, he could see that his nephew, whom he had not seen for two years, was already more capable than himself.
And he found that it seemed that every time he heard news about this nephew, it broke his inherent concepts.
"Master...!"
The shouts came from afar, and everyone looked to see a young man wearing a light blue shirt, with parted hair, fair appearance, and handsome appearance, riding a bicycle towards here.
"Oh, you monster...!"
Seeing the mandrill's ferocious face and tall and burly figure, the man screamed and fell out of the car.
The embarrassed look instantly made Uncle Jiu's face droop.
"You monster, why don't you come here quickly!"
Hearing this, the young man pushed the car with a fearful expression and walked over tremblingly. The wheels were pressed against the roadside, keeping as far away from the mandrill as possible.
"This is Xu Junming whom I often mentioned to you before. Come over quickly to pay your respects to your senior brother!"
"Brother!"
Since the two of them became apprentices, they have heard the name Xu Junming countless times from their master's mouth, and every time it was a compliment, so they have long been extremely curious about their master's highly respected genius brother.
"Jun Ming, these two are the apprentices I accepted after I came to Renjia Town. This one is called 'Wencai' and is my senior brother, and this one is called 'Qiusheng' and is my junior brother!"
Xu Junming, who had expected this for a long time, took out the two porcelain vases he had prepared in advance from his bag.
"When we meet for the first time, as a senior brother, I didn't prepare any good gifts. These two yellow bud pills, one for each of the two junior brothers, are considered as a meeting gift. I hope the two junior brothers don't dislike it."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!"
Qiu Sheng took the initiative to reach out and snatch the medicine bottle from Xu Junming's hand.
"Yes, we don't dislike it at all!"
Literary talents are not far behind either.
They have long understood the efficacy of Huangya Dan from their master. Now that they have encountered it, there is no reason to miss it.
The two apprentices looked like they were obsessed with money, which made Uncle Jiu feel sulky.
We are also teaching disciples, why are all our own disciples like this?
"Pop!"
Two slaps hit Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai on the back of the head.
"Why don't you thank me, senior brother!"
“Thank you, senior brother!”…
Looking at the two of them, Xu Junming was deeply grateful for his master. Although Jiale's qualifications and understanding were not outstanding, at least he would not cause trouble, let alone cheat his master.
"Jun Ming, come in!"
"Don't be busy yet!" He pointed to the open space next to Yi Zhuang and said, "Uncle, does this land have an owner?"
“Where there is a wilderness, there is a Lord!”
The Yizhuang is a place where corpses are stored, so naturally it will not be built inside a village or town. The same is true for Jiu Shu's Yizhuang, which is still one mile away from Renjia Town.
Moreover, the place where Yi Zhuang was established was not farmland, but a low mountain covered with rocks.
Xu Junming nodded.
Take a step and walk over.
Uncle Jiu followed naturally. Although Qiu Shengwencai was afraid of the mandrill's ferocious face, he did not fall behind because of his master's presence.
The place Xu Junming pointed to is located on the mountainside.
It's overgrown with weeds, full of rocks, and it's a slope.
Xu Junming took a brief look, and the emperor's magic talisman in his dantian shone brightly, silently urging his magic power.
In an instant, the land within a radius of thirty feet seemed to come alive, with countless pieces of soil churning and gathering into a platform of about three hundred square meters.
That's not all, the mud kept rising like a fountain, reaching five meters above the platform in the blink of an eye!
After five meters, the direction of the mud spurt changed from vertical to parallel until the left and right sides were connected to each other.
It only takes a few minutes.
A house with a courtyard wall three meters high, a house five meters high, and a foot three inches thick, made entirely of mud, appeared in front of everyone.
Xu Junming gave a low drink.
"Certainly!"
With a flash of inspiration, the house originally made of earth slowly transformed into blue stone!
Look at your results.
"It still lacks some vitality!"
Activate the green wood talisman, and a camphor tree, which is common in the south, rises from the ground in the corner of the wall. Within a moment, it becomes as thick as two people can hug it, and its crown is like a cloud.
Then many shrubs and flowers grew rapidly from the wall.
From the beginning to now, in just a few minutes, except for the courtyard door, room doors and windows, the entire house has nothing missing for Xu Junming.
His magic power is not yet capable of such delicate work as constructing courtyard gates, room doors, and windows.
But even so, a courtyard was built in a short period of time. Just look at Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai and others' stunned expressions, and you will know how amazing it is.
Even Uncle Jiu took a long time to calm down.
"Jun Ming, have you practiced the Taoism of Wood and Earth?"
“By chance, I learned a lot!”
He said it in an understatement, but Uncle Jiu understood what level of Taoism was required to build such a house in such a short period of time.
However, thinking of Xu Junming's current cultivation level and the powerful understanding and strength he showed in the competition between the two factions in Changchun Valley, Uncle Jiu did not say anything about 'biting off more than he can chew'.
A green light flashed out from his bent fingers, transmitting the foundation building chapter and the innate chapter of the 'Aoki Shangyuan Gong' to the mandrill.
Compared with the demonic techniques that Mandrill has explored on his own, Taoist golden elixir magic techniques such as Aoki Shangyuan Gong, which directly point to the immortal way, are undoubtedly countless times stronger.
He is also a person who knows the goods, and his face will show joy when he sees it.
"From now on, you will live here and look after my uncle's house and nursery. If you do a good job, I will teach you the follow-up skills!"
The mandrill nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you... old man!"
"Go for it!"
The mandrill nodded and walked into the yard.
In order to facilitate its entry and exit, Xu Junming built the courtyard gate and wooden door one foot high and two meters wide, which is enough for it to enter and exit.
"Uncle, this is the talisman to control the mandrill. If it does evil, use this talisman to control it."
Looking at the jade talisman that Xu Junming handed to him, Uncle Jiu took it after hesitating for a moment.
After all, it was my nephew's wish, and since he had better beast control, there was no harm in keeping the mandrill himself.
"Let's go home and talk!"
Xu Junming nodded and followed Uncle Jiu into Yizhuang.
