Zombie World: I become stronger by reading

Chapter 16 Appreciation of Ninth Uncle
Early the next morning, Qin Shan stood up with a carp, feeling refreshed and energetic.

"After combat training and recovery, the host's spiritual consciousness gathering technique has been strengthened, and the physical fitness has tripled after activation."

This early in the morning, the system gave me another piece of good news.

It turns out that this is the so-called exercise. After recovering from the exhaustion after the battle, one's physical fitness has grown.

Qin Shan got out of bed, put on his clothes and shoes, and was about to go out when he remembered that he slept on this bed last night.

But thinking about it now, Qin Shan didn't feel any chilling fear in his heart.I have even fought against a real hundred-year-old zombie, and helped Uncle Jiu kill one. Now I sleep on this bed, but I sleep soundly and feel comfortable.

Immediately, Qin Shan smiled, walked into the living room, and saw Ren Tingting who was making breakfast, and other people at the table at a glance.

"Everyone got up so early, I thought I got up early enough."

"Hehe, come over and eat."

There was no talking about eating or sleeping, and after the people at the table had finished their breakfast, Uncle Jiu suddenly gave an order:
"Wencai, go and wash the dishes, Tingting will stay here."

In the past, Ren Tingting was in charge of these housework, but today Uncle Jiu let Wen Cai go, Ren Tingting immediately understood what Uncle Jiu was going to say, and the little nature just now turned into a trace of melancholy and reluctance.

"Tingting, the Ren family still needs you, the only descendant, to take care of it. After a few days, you should go back first."

Uncle Jiu stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then said slowly:
"But it is indeed a mess over there...Qin Shan, you also came back from studying abroad, so you should know a lot, right?"

The topic suddenly came to him, Qin Shan nodded:

"It's okay, I know a little bit about various affairs."

"Well, you can help Tingting these few days. Tingting can be regarded as my junior. I watched her grow up when I was a child. Be careful, don't let those outsiders take the opportunity to seize the Ren family. Foundation."

This kind of story of the disaster of the main family being divided up by relatives of Pangzhi who came out of nowhere is not uncommon throughout the ages.

What's more, there is also a cousin who is the captain of the security guard, who is still "watching" Tingting, so he has to guard against it.

"Yes, Uncle Ninth."

Hearing that Uncle Jiu asked Qin Shan to help her, Tingting's face that was still full of worries just now burst into a smile, and then suddenly realized that she should not be too rude in front of her elders, so she lowered her head and restrained her smile.

"By the way, Qin Shan, those spells you used last night..."

Qin Shan's heart skipped a beat, sure enough, Tingting was on him when it was over.

Fortunately, he was well prepared yesterday. Qin Shan nodded, "thought" silently for a while, then raised his head again:

"To be honest, I have another purpose for coming here this time, and that is to worship Uncle Jiu as my teacher."

"Oh? But I think you have learned spells before, so you should have a teacher."

Uncle Jiu and Taoist Fourth Eye were quite puzzled. They could use many kinds of spells at such a young age, so they should be the direct disciples of a certain sect.

"The person who taught me spells before was a qimen warlock who traveled all over the world. This warlock looks old, with long beard and white hair, but he is full of energy, and his Taoist robe is spotless. He taught me some qimen spells. He also gave me a magic weapon."

Under Qin Shan's description, Uncle Jiu imagined a character similar to a hermit. It is obvious that this senior has a high level of cultivation.

"In the end, he told me to go westward alone, and told me to come back here, and asked me to worship Uncle Jiu as a teacher and practice the orthodox Maoshan magic."

Hearing such a bizarre story, Uncle Jiu's first reaction was a little skeptical. He didn't seem to know such a well-travelled senior in his memory.

And according to Qin Shan's description, this senior finally chose to go all the way to the west. At this moment, the situation in the world is chaotic, and the people's anger is in turmoil. It is the time when demons and ghosts take the opportunity to make trouble. impact of change.

Most of the mountain gates choose to keep their doors closed, and only a few mages and Taoists choose to risk their lives and walk in the world to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

"Presumably, your master is also an expert."

Uncle Jiu said with emotion, looking at the Qimen compass that Qin Shan took out, there is a layer of light on it that is invisible to ordinary people, but only his own eyes can see it, which means that the maker has a profound knowledge and spirituality in the magic weapon.

There is no way to fake this magical artifact, it is either carried around and the product of decades of meticulous sacrifice, or an expert has attached his own painstaking efforts and spiritual knowledge to it.

There are also streamers faintly audible on several of his magic tools, which belong to the former.

And this compass looks almost brand new, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the latter.

If it is really bestowed by an expert, this compass itself is a kind of token...

Uncle Jiu was indeed a little hesitant at this moment. Qin Shan has a good heart and personality, neither arrogant nor impetuous, careful and bold, and willing to help others. He is a child who can become a master, and he really hopes to have such an apprentice.

"Oh, why are you hesitating? It's hard for others to find such a good apprentice with a lantern."

The four-eyed Taoist priest can hardly stand it anymore, he came all the way to learn art from a teacher, and he solved such a big trouble for you as soon as he came up, what else can you be dissatisfied with?
"Forget it, since it's what senior said, then I'll accept you as my apprentice."

After a long time, Uncle Jiu finally made up his mind and led Qin Shan to the incense table:
"Our Maoshan lineage is inherited from the Qing Dynasty. Our ancestors have Tao Hongjing, the founder of the mountain, Sanmao Zhenjun, etc. Master Maoying gathered medicine in the mountain in Juqu Mountain, helped the world and saved people, and devoted himself to cultivation in the cave. He attained the Tao and became immortal..."

Facing the portrait of the patriarch, Uncle Jiu told Qin Shan the history of his apprenticeship in the Maoshan lineage. Qin Shan knelt on the ground, listening to Uncle Jiu's narration, while looking at the portrait of the patriarch.

"...Here, the Maoshan vein has opened up and spread its leaves."

After telling the history of the Maoshan lineage, Uncle Jiu held three sticks of incense, and then called Qiu Sheng and Wencai to stand on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, each holding three sticks of incense.

"Today, in front of the portrait of the patriarch, I accept Qin Shan as my third apprentice. Qin Shan, you must devote yourself to cultivating, not committing crimes, not bullying others with power, and not killing randomly... Would you like it?"

"The disciple is willing."

After reading the precepts, Uncle Nine worshiped the patriarch and put the three sticks of incense in his hands into the incense burner, then took the incense from Qiu Sheng's and Wen Cai's hands, and inserted them in turn.

"Disciple Qinshan~kowtow nine times! Three times to the sky, three times to the earth, and three times to the ancestor!"

Listening to Uncle Jiu's order, Qin Shan kowtowed nine times slowly and steadily.

After the kowtow was over, Uncle Jiu helped Qin Shan up and handed him three sticks of incense: "Disciple Qin Shan~~ Shangxiang to respect ancestors!"

After Qin Shan finished offering incense, a beam of light flew out of the portrait and shot into Qin Shan's forehead.
