Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 277 Shi Jian Arrives
Uncle Jiu had no other choice but to take out a jar of spiritual wine from the bedroom and hand it to Taoist Qianhe.

"It's just this one jar. It's a rare treasure. You don't have many, so you should use it sparingly." Uncle Jiu muttered to Taoist Qianhe with a look of pain on his face.

After Taoist Qianhe took it, he opened the jar and realized that it was wine, and a wine full of spiritual energy. He was overjoyed and did not care about his senior brother. He immediately returned to his bedroom with the two wine jars to practice Taoism.

Uncle Jiu saw the figure of Taoist Qianhe leaving, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He couldn't understand why, for someone as upright as him, all his fellow apprentices were such robbers and thieves?

Uncle Jiu didn't think much about it. He shook his head and went back to his bedroom. He took out a jar of spirit wine and started drinking. He also wanted to practice, so as not to be surpassed by his junior brother, which would be embarrassing for him.

Soon a few days passed, and the fellow disciples of Maoshan Sect also arrived in Renjia Town one after another. Only the eldest brother Shi Jian of Maoshan Sect had not arrived yet. Uncle Jiu simply didn't wait any longer. He and the eldest brother Shi Jian of Maoshan Sect had some conflicts, so he simply waited for them to finish talking and let his fellow disciples notify him.

A banquet was set up in the charity cemetery to entertain the fellow disciples of Maoshan Sect. After everyone was present, the story was immediately told.

"My fellow disciples, our world is about to undergo a major change. After a while, people from other worlds will merge into our world. When that happens, please do not attack them. They are here to help us, not bad people.

Moreover, they are powerful, we are no match for them at all. They will not harm innocent people, but will only attack demons and monsters, and will only attack those who kill innocent people. Ordinary civilians, they will only protect them. It is best for us in the Maoshan Sect to wait and see what happens."

After Uncle Jiu finished speaking, the Maoshan sect's fellow disciples immediately fell silent. They didn't know whether what Uncle Jiu said was true or not, or if he was joking with them. Something like this was hard for them to believe. How could there be people from other worlds?
"Brother, stop joking. Just tell us what's wrong. We will definitely help if we can. After all, we are brothers. There's no need to joke like that. It's too fake."

A fellow apprentice from the Maoshan Sect didn't believe what Uncle Jiu said at all, and immediately said something to Uncle Jiu with a smile.

"That's right, Senior Brother, your joke isn't funny at all. Where is the other world?"

The fellow disciples of the Maoshan Sect also echoed this and did not believe what Uncle Jiu said at all.

Uncle Jiu said seriously, "My fellow disciples, everything I, Lin Jiu, said is true. If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

As soon as Uncle Jiu said this, there was silence in the place, and the fellow disciples on Mount Mao looked at each other in bewilderment. Originally, this matter was hard to believe, but since Uncle Jiu said this, it was certain that no cultivator would dare to swear to tell such a lie.

"What senior brother said is true. I can testify for you. I also got spiritual spring water from another world from you. I have used the spiritual spring water to break through to the Earth Master realm in the past half month." Taoist Qianhe immediately testified for Uncle Jiu. After all, whether this matter was true or false, he knew it well. The spiritual spring water and spiritual wine he got from Uncle Jiu helped him to reach the Earth Master realm quickly. This matter was not false. There was no such treasure spiritual energy in reality. It was diluted many years ago and officially entered the Dharma Ending Age. Although there was still spiritual energy between heaven and earth, it was too little to produce such treasures. Only in another world could it exist.

He had also seen the Wu Clan's Skylark leader some time ago. The terrifying murderous aura emanating from the Skylark leader clearly indicated that he was not from this world. Furthermore, he had discovered two demon kings with profound Taoist skills. Although they were highly skilled, they did not exude a murderous aura. Instead, they were covered in a dense layer of merit that had almost solidified into a substance. This indicated that they had not harmed humans and had made enormous contributions to other worlds. Otherwise, they would not have received such a vast amount of merit. Uncle Jiu said they were from another world. Taoist Qianhe was certain of this, because in their world, it was impossible to obtain such a vast amount of merit. Even if you eradicated all the demons in the world, you would not be able to obtain such a vast amount of merit. This was because this world had entered the Dharma Ending Age, and merit was a very rare commodity. It was extremely difficult to obtain, let alone such a vast amount.

With Taoist Master Qianhe's testimony, although the fellow disciples of Maoshan Sect still didn't quite believe it, they also believed Uncle Jiu's words a little. As for what Uncle Jiu said, there was no loss for them. It just asked them not to take action, and they could continue to live their normal lives. So they all nodded in agreement. Just when everyone was thinking of raising their glasses to drink with Uncle Jiu, suddenly, the door of the charity cemetery was pushed open, and two figures strode in.

Everyone turned to look, and after a closer look, they found that it was Maoshan Sect's eldest senior brother Shi Jian and his apprentice.

Uncle Jiu quickly stood up to greet him.

"Big Brother, you are finally here." Uncle Jiu hurried forward and said to Shi Jian.

"Ah."

Shi Jian hummed lightly, then strode to the center of the banquet table with his head held high. He sat down without any hesitation, and only after he sat down did he speak to everyone.

"What's the matter with you gathering the disciples of Maoshan Sect this time?"

Uncle Jiu didn't care that his seat had been snatched away, but simply told the story again.

When Uncle Jiu finished talking about Shi Jian, he immediately raised his eyebrows and slammed the table hard.

"Nonsense! How can you make the decision on your own about such a big thing? What do you mean by integrating into the world? Isn't the other world just about fighting against the wild demons? How can we, the disciples of Maoshan Sect, stand by and watch such a thing? Everyone listen to me, if we encounter the foreign demons, we can only protect them by killing them all. If our Maoshan Sect doesn't care about the safety of our world, then are we still disciples of the righteous path? What is the difference between our Maoshan Sect and the evil demons?"

Therefore, I propose that once we discover any intruders from another world, we must immediately kill them all. We cannot allow these people to endanger the safety of our world. We must ensure that our world is not invaded."

Shi Jian said this with a righteous and serious look on his face, then looked sternly at the disciples of Maoshan Sect.

The disciples of Maoshan Sect looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to. On the one hand, they all had a good relationship with Uncle Jiu, but on the other hand, Uncle Jiu was the eldest senior brother of Maoshan Sect, so they didn't know what to do.
