"Hehe, interesting. The world is really different now. In the past, who would have believed that the land we stand on is a ball, and who would have thought that there are countries on the other side of the ball?" Uncle Nine picked up his teacup, took a sip, and laughed.
"Yeah, who would have thought? Just thinking about having a ball under my feet makes me dizzy." Qiu Sheng walked over and poured Jiang Fan a cup of tea as well.
"Do you think the people over there look the same as us?" Wencai asked, bewildered.
“It’s different.” Jiang Fan thanked Qiu Sheng, and upon hearing Wen Cai’s words and seeing Uncle Jiu’s expression, he immediately said, “The people over there are blond and blue-eyed, with fair skin, and they are taller than us, but they are not as clever as us.”
"Oh~"
Wen Cai let out a long "oh".
Ren Tingting, sitting over there, looked at Jiang Fan, who spoke with remarkable eloquence, and felt a surge of goodwill towards him. She had met some foreigners when she was in the provincial capital, and their appearances were roughly the same as those described by Young Master Jiang. At that time, she had even told her father how strange those foreigners looked...
But now,
But things have changed!
Thinking of her father who died tragically, Ren Tingting felt a lump in her throat and two lines of tears welled up in her eyes.
Qiu Sheng, who was keeping a close eye on Ren Tingting, noticed her tears immediately. He rushed to her side, asking with concern and a hint of anxiety, "What's wrong, Tingting? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"
"You cried?"
My writing skills are always a step behind.
Watching this scene from an outsider's perspective, Jiang Fan was speechless. Compared to the movie Mr. Vampire, if Ren Tingting really married either Qiu Sheng or Wen Cai in the end, it would definitely be Qiu Sheng, because compared to Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai's reaction was too slow.
By the time he realized it,
The daylily buds have gone cold.
"Waaah... It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of my father and my heart was overwhelmed with grief." Ren Tingting wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and said intermittently.
Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng comforted Ren Tingting, and the originally somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the main room suddenly became lively. Jiang Fan looked at Uncle Jiu, who should no longer have any doubts about him, and asked, "Uncle Jiu, I have a question I would like to ask. If I have offended you, please forgive my ignorance."
Uncle Nine chuckled and said, "What can't you ask? Go ahead and ask."
Seeing Uncle Jiu's attitude, Jiang Fan felt much calmer and then asked, "I have been in town for a day now, so I know a little about what happened in Miss Ren's family. I used to hear rumors about vampires when I was abroad, but I always thought they were just legends and rumors passed down through generations."
"But since returning to China and starting my travels, I have increasingly discovered that there are too many problems in this world that cannot be explained by science. For example, the zombies that are causing a great uproar in the town, and the Taoist magic of Uncle Jiu and the Maoshan School. Could these strange and unusual things really exist?"
The topic was brought up.
Jiang Fanjing and others fell into Uncle Jiu's trap!
Hearing Jiang Fan's words, Uncle Nine picked up his teacup again and took a sip before slowly saying, "Jiang Fan, you must understand that there are all sorts of wonders in this world. I don't know what you mean by vampire, but judging from the words, it should be similar to the zombies in China, both of which live by sucking human blood."
Jiang Fan feigned surprise and asked, "They live by sucking human blood?"
"right!"
Uncle Nine stood up and paced back and forth, saying, "Zombies are monsters born from the resentment and filth of heaven and earth. It is difficult to kill them except by completely destroying their bodies. Moreover, they are immortal and indestructible, belonging to the realm outside the six realms, wandering aimlessly."
At this point, Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, and the sobbing Ren Tingting all stopped what they were doing and listened carefully.
"Zombies in the human world are driven by resentment and feed on blood, causing the most harm to living beings. However, there are mutual restraints between things in the world. Just as zombies bring disaster, there are also righteous people who uphold justice and ward off evil. For example, my sect, Maoshan Sect, has a special method to subdue zombies."
This is it!
Jiang Fan remained outwardly calm, but his heart was in turmoil. The plan that had been underway since he entered the room had finally passed the preliminaries and arrived at the most important stage.
Clearing his throat, Jiang Fan feigned ignorance and asked, "Uncle Jiu, since Maoshan has methods to save people and help the world, why not allow your disciples to pass on the true methods? If your disciples learn the methods to subdue zombies, although it may not be possible to eradicate them, it is better than nothing."
"Yes, Master, why is that?"
"Yes."
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai reacted in unison, turning to ask, completely unaware that they had unwittingly become Jiang Fan's pawns.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine sighed and said, "The first rule of our Maoshan Sect for accepting disciples is to only accept those who are kind-hearted. This is to prevent those with ulterior motives from learning Maoshan magic. Once such a person comes down the mountain after learning magic, the harm they cause to the people will be far greater than that of a zombie or a ghost."
"to this end,
The founder of Maoshan specially performed a ritual, bestowing upon the Maoshan sect leader a token to protect the mountain. Anyone who has learned Maoshan magic will be able to sense the token; those who are not Maoshan disciples will either die or be seriously injured!
"That is why I dare not rashly teach Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai the Maoshan Taoist techniques."
When Uncle Jiu said this, Jiang Fan suddenly understood.
I see!
After a moment of silence, Jiang Fan sighed, “Everyone cherishes their own possessions. No wonder the Western missionaries are becoming increasingly arrogant. If there were a mirror in this world that could reveal the true nature of people, how wonderful it would be. If one more person in the world learns the Daoist arts, the martial arts world would have one more righteous person like you, Uncle Jiu, who can protect one’s region.”
"How can we allow foreign missionaries to be so arrogant!" Jiang Fan said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.
A mirror that can reveal a person's true character doesn't exist, at least not in the hands of a Taoist master with the cultivation level of Uncle Nine. Therefore, Jiang Fan can speak these words with confidence.
If Uncle Nine really had such a divine mirror,
It's likely that Jiang Fan will be the first person to turn around and leave...
