Chapter 116 Shi Jian goes down the mountain, and Zhenjun enters the world (Subscription required)
Maoshan.

Shi Jian stood in front of the mountain gate, with the elders from various halls and his master Wu Chenzi behind him.

Slowly exhaling, Shi Jian looked at the elders and his master who came to see him off with a smile on his face.

"Dear elders, Master, I am leaving now!"

There was no fancy farewell. After saying this, the flying sword in Shi Jian's dantian instantly flew out, and he stepped on the flying sword and soared into the sky.

The elders looked at Shi Jian, who was so free and easy in the world. Besides a little envy, they also had expectations. They hoped that their disciples could be chosen by Shi Jian, the head of Maoshan.

There was no expression on Wu Chenzi's face. He knew that his disciple's trip down the mountain this time would most likely stir up the situation and cause huge waves.

As the master, Wu Chenzi could only watch silently.

......................................................

Since breaking through to the level of Jindan Zhenjun, Shi Jian's flying speed with a sword has undergone a drastic change.

In the past, he would need to rest and recover his energy after flying a sword for only a hundred miles, but now he can travel thousands of miles freely.

As the first stop for the disciple assessment, Shi Jian chose Lin Fengjiao.

Therefore, the direction he was heading towards at this moment was Renjia Town!

Flying on a sword all the way from Maoshan to Renjia Town, if it were an ordinary foundation-building master, it would probably take several days to arrive.

But for Shi Jian, it only takes one or two hours...

Renjia Town.

Inside the charity cemetery, Uncle Jiu was feeling a little nervous at the moment. He had a vague feeling that his senior brother would most likely come to Renjia Town soon.

Therefore, during this period of time, Uncle Jiu never left Renjia Town, for fear of accidentally missing his senior brother.

Inside the house, Uncle Jiu was sitting at a square table sipping tea. Outside the house, Wencai and Qiu Sheng were practicing basic skills.

Because Qiu Sheng and Wencai were not Maoshan disciples, Uncle Jiu did not teach them the Maoshan cultivation method, but instead taught them the internal martial arts that he had practiced in the past.

Even so, it is enough for Wencai Qiu Sheng to spend his time.

"Qiu Sheng, do you think our master uncle is really that scary?"

With nothing to do, Qiu Sheng and Wencai started chatting while doing horse stance.

Hearing Wencai's question, Qiu Sheng was a little unsure. He reached out to wipe some of the sweat off his forehead before expressing his guess.

"Wencai, what do you think? Is our master usually very powerful?"

Qiu Sheng's guiding tone made Wencai's already slow brain start to recall his past experiences.

Wencai felt a little scared when he thought about how strict his master had been with him over the years.

He rolled his eyes at Qiu Sheng in annoyance.

“Need I say more?

You know how strict our master is."

Qiu Sheng smiled.

"Our master is so strict, that's why we are so afraid of him, is that okay?"

"of course!"

Wencai replied without even thinking.

Nodding, Qiu Sheng continued to guide him downwards.

"Wencai, what do you think our master's attitude is towards the arrival of Master Uncle?"

Wencai thought about it and realized that these days, Uncle Jiu had been tidying up the charity cemetery and cleaning the side rooms. He could be said to have done everything himself, and the place was so clean and comfortable.

Isn't it just to welcome the arrival of Master Uncle?
"Qiu Sheng, Master must be afraid of Master Uncle. You can see that Master has been doing everything himself these days, fearing that we two might mess things up.

It can be seen that the master definitely attaches great importance to this master uncle!"

After hearing this, Qiu Sheng was delighted.

"Wencai, then it's over!

The reason why we are afraid of the master is because the master himself is very strict. The master attaches so much importance to the arrival of the master uncle, which means that even the master is afraid of not entertaining the master uncle well.

and so……

The master uncle must be much stricter than our master!"

Wencai was so confused by these words that he was unable to react for a moment.

Qiu Sheng was also drunk, and after he continued to explain, Wencai finally understood.

Before they knew it, the two of them had been sitting in horse stance for a stick of incense. Wencai's legs were already trembling and he was close to collapse.

Qiu Sheng had a good talent for martial arts. Although his perseverance was a little lacking, he still stood firmly in a horse stance, letting the sweat on his forehead flow down.

Inside the house, Uncle Jiu looked relaxed. The conversation between Qiu Sheng and Wencai just now did not escape Uncle Jiu's ears.

After all, Uncle Jiu is now a genuine Taoist master in the middle stage of foundation building!
Uncle Jiu was very satisfied with the discussion between his two disciples; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

When Uncle Jiu broke through to the Foundation Establishment Real Man level, he could already see that Wencai was a reckless guy. Although Qiu Sheng was slightly better, he was not much better.

It's all a virtue...

Uncle Jiu knows his eldest senior brother's temper best. Although he is not intolerant of any injustice, he is also upright and able to distinguish right from wrong.

Therefore, in order to prevent Wencai Qiu Sheng from getting into trouble, Uncle Jiu certainly needs to give him advice from time to time.

While Uncle Jiu continued to stare at Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, a streak of light flashed across the sky above Renjia Town, and Shi Jian also came on a flying sword. Feeling the fluctuations of the aura of his junior brother Lin Fengjiao, who was in the middle stage of foundation building in the charity cemetery below, Shi Jian was quite satisfied.

In this era, being able to build a foundation is already considered a Taoist foundation...

Floating down from the void, in just a moment, he arrived at the charity cemetery.

Qiu Sheng and Wencai, who were practicing basic skills, were stunned instantly when Shi Jian came from the air.

However, they did not think that Shi Jian would be their master uncle.

The reason is very simple. Shi Jian's appearance looks exactly the same as theirs. He is so young. In fact, compared with Wencai, he looks much younger!

In their imagination, the master uncle should be a man with white hair, a sage-like appearance, and full of majesty.

Looking at the strange Taoist who came suddenly, although Shi Jian's every move was full of indescribable Taoist charm, and his extremely deep eyes made Qiu Sheng and Wencai frightened, they also mustered up the courage to ask.

After all, this is the charity cemetery, their master’s territory!
"Who are you?

Are you so reckless as to enter our charity cemetery?"

Wencai asked directly, and Qiu Sheng's heart suddenly started beating wildly. For some reason, although at first glance he didn't think that the young Taoist in front of him could be the great master whom he had never met before.

But with the second glance, Qiu Sheng could feel the Taoist's calm expression in front of him as if the stars in the sky were flowing through him.

The black and white Yin-Yang Taoist robe further highlights the extraordinary nature of the Taoist in front of him.

Even if he is not my own master, he may very well be a man of virtue!
After giving Shi Jian a polite smile, Qiu Sheng went to the inner room to inform his master.

Seeing Qiu Sheng walking hurriedly into the house, Shi Jian did not stop him, but stared at Wencai in front of him with interest.

In his impression, both Qiu Sheng and Wencai are people who like to cause trouble.

but……

The Wencai in front of him was so cautious, seemingly different from what he remembered.

Yes, as I came to this world, many things have changed fundamentally.

"You are a talented writer, right? I came here because of Lin Fengjiao."

When Wencai suddenly heard the name Lin Fengjiao, he was a little confused. He didn't know that his master's name was Lin Fengjiao.

Since arriving in Renjia Town, almost all the townspeople call them Master Lin and Uncle Jiu.

"Lin...Feng Jiao?"

Wencai here fell into deep thought.

Qiu Sheng had already entered the inner room. Seeing his master sipping tea so calmly, he hurried to Uncle Jiu.

"Master, there is a young Taoist outside. I think he is extraordinary. Master, please go out and take a look!"

After saying this, Qiu Sheng still couldn't calm down.

The moment Uncle Jiu heard this, he put down the tea in the cup and stood up.

He is a Taoist master in the middle stage of foundation building!
Who else could come to the charity cemetery without being noticed by anyone and not be discovered by him?
And the young Taoist...

Almost in an instant, Uncle Jiu's expression turned serious, with a hint of panic.

Without thinking too much, Uncle Jiu pushed the door open and walked out. In an instant he saw his senior brother asking about Wencai!
Even from more than ten meters away, the excitement and panic on Uncle Jiu's face looked particularly interesting.

"Big Brother! No...Disciple Lin Fengjiao pays respect to the Master!"

In an instant, Uncle Jiu rushed to Shi Jian and bowed to him respectfully.

Qiu Sheng and Wencai were also petrified on the spot, especially Wencai. Until just now, he thought that the other party was just a reckless Taoist priest.

He has nothing to do with the imagined sage-like and majestic head of Maoshan.

However, their master would not make a mistake. The young Taoist in front of them was their great uncle, the legendary head of Mount Mao, Jindan Zhenjun!

Uncle Jiu felt a little embarrassed at the moment. He was already bowing like that, so why were his two disciples still standing there like idiots?

Feeling the cold and murderous look from their master, Qiu Sheng and Wencai reacted instantly.

He immediately did the ceremony of three bows and nine kowtows.

"Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, we pay our respects to the Great Master of Maoshan!

May you enjoy eternal happiness and peace!"

Ahem, these dirty words were naturally taught by Uncle Jiu. He had no idea what attitude his senior brother had towards his disciples.

So naturally, Qiu Shengwen couldn't be allowed to call him Master Uncle, unless Shi Jian asked for it...

Otherwise, you can only use the honorific title of Zhenjun!
Shi Jian was somewhat helpless about the clear division between his junior fellow apprentice and his junior apprentice. Although Qiu Sheng Wencai could not possibly become a disciple of Maoshan, he was at least a legitimate disciple of his junior fellow apprentice.

Shi Jian didn't mind the other party calling him Master Uncle.

"Okay, Junior Brother Lin, why are you being so polite?
This time, I am going down the mountain as the headmaster of Maoshan, and I am also your eldest senior brother!

Although these two little guys cannot officially join Mount Mao, they can be your disciples. You don’t have to call them “brother” or “true lord”. Just call them “brother, great uncle”.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu felt warmed in the heart, but he also understood that his senior brother still had a clear distinction between Qiu Sheng and Wencai's identities.

　Today we officially enter the plot. In fact, there are still some conflicts in writing these chapters, that is, the way to address Uncle Jiu. Logically speaking, according to the direction of the plot, I should address Lin Fengjiao as Uncle Jiu throughout the whole process. However, I maintain a respectful attitude towards Uncle Jiu, which seems a bit contradictory.

So Lin Fengjiao and Jiu Shu are always used interchangeably, but from now on, Lin Fengjiao will be used uniformly. Jiu Shu deserves our respect, but when writing novels, we should still pay attention to rigor...
