Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 31: Visitors from Yizhuang

It's late at night!

Chen Yulou finally woke up from the illusion of the exorcism talisman preaching.

He glanced at the preaching talisman in his hand and said with some emotion: "The art of talismans is indeed profound and extensive!"

After expressing his feelings, Chen Yulou put away the preaching talisman and took a deep breath.

Fold your hands together, make the Shangqing Seal and enter into meditation!
Only after a ray of light came from outside the window did Chen Yulou slowly open his eyes, shook his head and said, "It seems that we have to take it slow!"

Although Uncle Jiu explained in great detail the process of his understanding of the exorcism talisman seed and the details to pay attention to in the preaching illusion, he tried to condense the talisman seed several times but failed.

Chen Yulou was a little distressed, but then he was immediately relieved. He felt that he was too anxious!

After all, Uncle Jiu said that it takes most people years to comprehend the seeds of talismans. He has only been exposed to talismans for about half a month. Even if his comprehension is high, it still takes a process.

Chen Yulou, no longer obsessed with last night's failure, stretched out his legs, got out of bed, and went out to fetch water to wash up.

After breakfast, Chen Yulou was planning to continue comprehending the talisman seeds, but outsiders came to the charity cemetery.

In the lobby.

Uncle Jiu was talking to a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was called Qu Dehai. He was one of the largest landlords in Wuwang Town, next to Renjia Town, and the steward of the Zheng family.

After a long conversation, Qu Dehai finally stood up and pleaded, "Uncle Jiu, please make a trip. My master is willing to reward you handsomely!"

Uncle Jiu also stood up, clasped his fists slightly towards Qu Dehai, nodded, and said with a smile: "Since there is a demon at work, I will naturally take the lead. So, go back and tell your master that I will go there in person tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Qu Dehai immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Jiu. I will go back and report to my master immediately."

"Go slowly, don't send me away!"

Uncle Jiu smiled.

"Excuse me!"

Qu Dehai turned and walked out of the lobby and left the charity cemetery.

Seeing Qu Dehai leave, Qiu Sheng and Wencai hurried into the lobby, followed closely by Chen Yulou.

"Master, is there another demon causing trouble?" Qiu Sheng asked impatiently.

Uncle Jiu glanced at Qiu Sheng, nodded, and said, "That man just now was the steward of the Zheng family in Wuwang Town. I heard from him that there is a ghost haunting the backyard of the Zheng Mansion!"

"But it shouldn't be a vicious ghost. I heard from the housekeeper that the ghosts in the backyard only scare people but don't hurt anyone."

"So, I'm going out early tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou's expression actually revealed a hint of anticipation. After all, this was the first time he had heard of ghosts. After thinking for a moment, he quickly looked at Uncle Jiu and said, "Master, since it's not a vicious ghost, it must not be very powerful. Why don't you let Senior Brother Qiu Sheng and I go there for you?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu looked at Chen Yulou in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Sheng immediately looked at Uncle Jiu and said, "That's right, Master. My junior brother and I can go there. How can we ask you to go there in person?"

Although he had caught ghosts with Uncle Jiu before, he was just a bystander.

Yesterday he drew a talisman to ward off evil spirits, which greatly boosted his confidence. He just wanted to try out the power of the talisman he drew.

"Can you do it?"

Uncle Jiu hesitated. While it wasn't a vicious ghost, it was still a ghost. Qiu Sheng was still okay, as he'd been a minor character before, but he'd seen ghosts before. But Chen Yulou was a complete novice. Especially since he didn't want Chen Yulou to make any mistakes.

"Master, even if we are not their match, it should not be a problem for us to escape unscathed." Chen Yulou said with a smile.

"That's right, Master, you have to believe in me and my junior brother. He's just a little kid, nothing to worry about!" Qiu Sheng patted his chest and said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu glared at Qiu Sheng and said, "A ghost is a ghost. Even if it's not a vicious ghost, it doesn't mean it can't harm people, so you must never be careless."

Qiu Sheng immediately shrank his neck and said to Uncle Jiu with a smile: "Master, don't worry, my junior brother and I will not be careless."

Uncle Jiu glanced at Qiu Sheng, then looked at Chen Yulou and warned, "Yulou, since you want to go, then go, but don't be careless. Although it's not a fierce ghost, especially since you and Qiu Sheng have never fought a ghost head-on."

"Also, if you can't surrender, don't try to be stubborn!"

Chen Yulou immediately said seriously, "Master, please rest assured. Although I want to broaden my horizons, I also know the importance of things!"

Uncle Jiu nodded when he heard this.

Then, he looked at Qiu Sheng and said seriously, "Tomorrow when we go to Wuwang Town, your junior brother must take priority over everything. If you dare to cause trouble and involve your junior brother, I will make you kneel before the Grandmaster for nine days and nine nights when you return!"

When Qiu Sheng heard that he had to kneel for nine days and nine nights, his expression trembled. After all, with his physical fitness, he could withstand kneeling for three days and three nights, but he couldn't bear it for nine days and nine nights.

But thinking that he, as a senior brother, should listen to his junior brother, Qiu Sheng immediately looked at Jiu Shu and complained, "Master, I'm not the same person I used to be. Don't worry. But how can a senior brother listen to his junior brother?"

Uncle Jiu immediately glanced at Qiu Sheng and said unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense. You just got in early."

Qiu Sheng was helpless and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Junior Brother!"

"Yulou, come in with me!" Uncle Jiu glanced at Chen Yulou, then walked into the inner room with his hands behind his back.

Chen Yulou hurried to follow.

Qiu Sheng saw Uncle Jiu and Chen Yulou enter the inner room, and immediately said to Wencai, "Look at our master, he's now giving special treatment to his junior brothers without even telling us."

Although Qiu Sheng said this, there was no jealousy or dissatisfaction in his eyes, because he understood that the special treatment that Uncle Jiu gave to Chen Yulou was beyond his reach with his talent.

Wencai glanced at Qiu Sheng after hearing this, then said with a bitter face, "I'm not carrying you."

"As for me, Master probably only thinks of me when he's eating!"

Although Wencai felt a little disappointed, this feeling of loss was fleeting. After all, he was not cut out for Taoism. Now that Uncle Jiu no longer forced him to practice Taoism, he was happy instead, because he wanted to devote himself to practicing cooking and then wait for Uncle Jiu to open a restaurant for him.

Qiu Sheng immediately looked at Wencai, and after a while he smiled and said, "Now that my junior brother is here, I feel my life is more fulfilling!"

"Me too!"

Wencai also laughed immediately.

Then, Qiu Sheng returned to his room to prepare tools for exorcising demons tomorrow, while Wencai went to the kitchen to discuss what dishes to eat in the afternoon.

In the inner room.

Uncle Jiu opened the wooden box beside the bed and took out a peach wood sword and a bronze mirror with a handle the size of an adult's palm. He then turned to look at Chen Yulou and said, "You don't have any magical tools yet. This peach wood sword is from me, so you can use it first."

"As for this bronze mirror, it's called the Eight Trigrams Demon-Slaying Mirror. As long as you use your Qi to activate it, it can be used for both defense and attack."

"However, it should not be used lightly, because activating the Eight Diagrams Demon-Exorcist Mirror consumes a lot of Qi and mental energy. The Soul-Nourishing Realm can only sustain it for a dozen breaths at most."
