Chapter 27: Maoshan Academy, Learning Spells

On the forest path, although the sun was scorching, Shi Jian and Wu Chenzi had no intention of stopping.

Walking ahead, Wu Chenzi suddenly looked back.

"Disciple, do you know why I accepted those gold and silver items last night?"

what?
Shi Jian, who was trying hard to catch up with his master, didn't care about the sweat on his forehead at the moment. He really hadn't thought about this issue. He thought that just accept it, because those gentry were not short of money anyway.

However, now that his master had taken the initiative to ask, Shi Jian was hard to judge for the moment.

Wu Chenzi had no intention of testing Shi Jian and shook his head helplessly.

"Disciple, sometimes, human hearts are scarier than demons.

Although these gentry are not short of money, it can be seen that they have paid a lot for this gold and silver.

The reason why I did not refuse was not because I loved gold and silver, but because I didn't want these country gentry to think that we, the Maoshan monks, could be summoned and dismissed at will without paying any price.

Remember, human hearts are hard to predict!
If we monks didn't charge any money every time we exorcised demons and monsters.

Over time, countless trivial matters will come to your doorstep.

No one will cherish or respect free things!

As for some evil spirits and ghost soldiers, the Maoshan disciples stationed in various places will deal with them...

Do you understand what the Master said?"

To put it bluntly, Wu Chenzi wanted to tell the entire Xishan Town or other towns that there was no need to go to Maoshan for some trivial matters.

All the independent cultivators from various places and the local disciples of Maoshan can be dealt with.

Maoshan would only send out elders when faced with a major issue like this that could not be resolved.

If we don’t do this, and everyone in the area deceives us, the elders of Mount Mao won’t be able to practice peacefully…

Even if just one ghost soldier appears, in order to get it for free and for safety, people from all over the country will go to Maoshan for help and exaggerate the situation.

Ghost soldiers are called ghost kings, and ghost generals are called ghost emperors. These kinds of things are experiences that are summarized bit by bit after going through them.

Never underestimate the greed of human nature. Shi Jian understands this deeply!

"Disciple has learned the lesson!"

Seeing Shi Jian's face full of enlightenment, Wu Chenzi smiled faintly, and without looking back, he took the lead and headed towards Maoshan.

Shi Jian was chasing him all the way behind him...

A day later, Wu Chenzi and Shi Jian finally returned to Maoshan. Although the journey was only a few days, they gained a lot. At least Wu Chenzi was very satisfied.

After returning to Mount Mao, Shi Jian fell into the same boring practice as usual. This time when he went down the mountain, Shi Jian's pride in his heart because of his incredibly fast practice speed was somewhat frustrated.

There is always someone better than you, and there is always someone better than you. A genius who does not grow up is ultimately just a handful of earth. After having this idea, Shi Jian wanted to take the initiative to practice the Three Flowers and Five Qis to the Origin True Art for the first time!
Of course, it is also because the second volume of his Dragon-Tiger Body Tempering Technique has almost reached its peak.

In the blink of an eye, it's almost beyond repair...

but……

Before that, he still needs to find his teacher to ask for a method to refine the purity of his true energy. Then, he can try to spend a few years to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm!

But before he could express this thought, Wu Chenzi gave Shi Jian an unexpected surprise. Of course, Shi Jian actually refused.

Among the 72nd generation of Maoshan disciples, most disciples have already reached the first or second level of cultivation, and it is time for them to learn the most basic course of Maoshan.

That is to draw talismans!
As one of the three major sects of talismans, the Maoshan School's talisman technique can be said to have reached the pinnacle.

Each generation of disciples, whether they are practicing Qigong or cultivating the Dharma, when they reach the necessary age and level of cultivation, need to enter the Maoshan Academy to learn how to draw talismans and learn to read and write.

Even Shi Jian was no exception to this. As the direct disciple of the Maoshan Master, Shi Jian should take the lead! Upon hearing this news, Shi Jian undoubtedly refused. Although he was only 11 or 12 years old, his soul was mature and he had lived two lives. How could he like the atmosphere of a classroom?

However, he was powerless and after much persuasion, Wu Chenzi agreed to give Shi Jian a method to purify his true energy. Only then did Shi Jian obediently agree to study in Maoshan Academy for three years!
In the Great Elder's courtyard, the eleven-year-old Lin Fengjiao was extremely excited about entering the Maoshan Academy to learn how to draw talismans.

What you hear is not as good as what you see. After thinking carefully in private, Lin Fengjiao always felt that something was wrong with what her master said, that Shi Jian, as the master's direct disciple, was not much different from herself.

I have fought with Shi Jian several years ago. His cultivation speed and strength made me feel that he was unattainable and unfathomable.

How is it possible that after a few years, the gap between me and myself has not widened but narrowed?

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

In the corpse-driving hall, Elder Wu sat on a high platform, looking at his disciples below and couldn't help but smile.

"Disciple, do you have any opinion on entering the Maoshan Academy to learn to draw talismans and read and write?"

When suddenly asked by his own master, Simu couldn't help but frown and looked at his own master with a fake smile.

Although Elder Wu was smiling brightly at the moment, he was extremely strict with Simu privately. He would beat him up at any time, saying that the harder he beat him, the more Simu would focus on his cultivation...

"Master, this time when I enter the academy, I will definitely bring honor to you and learn the art of drawing talismans well, and live up to your teachings!"

After saying this, Simu's heart began to beat wildly, and he didn't know whether his master would be satisfied with his answer.

Hearing his disciple's answer, Elder Wu was somewhat relieved at first, but when he thought of his disciple's character, he no longer held out hope.

after all……

Among the 72nd generation of Maoshan disciples, not to mention those far away, this little girl Lin Fengjiao is not comparable to his own disciples.

"Ahem, disciple, I don't ask for much from you this time when you enter the academy. I don't expect you to become famous. I have taught you the art of drawing talismans for a long time. I know your talent very well.

If it's about drawing some talismans to suppress corpses, that's fine, but as for anything else... forget it!

But there is one thing that I hope you can keep in mind!"

"Master, please tell me. I will definitely keep it in mind!"

"Ruzi is teachable...

This time when you enter the academy, Shi Jian, your headmaster's direct disciple, will also be enrolled. Your teacher's intention is very simple, that is, to establish a good relationship with this headmaster's direct disciple at all costs!
Do you understand?"

"Disciple obeys the master's orders!"

Simu raised his head and smiled, a lewd smile that made Elder Wu frown. However, he thought that his disciple understood it pretty much, so he didn't say it too obviously.

"In that case, I am happy today and will let you relax for a day!"

"Long live the Master!
Master is the best!"

In an instant, Simu ran out of the corpse-driving hall and wandered around like a prisoner out of prison.

Shaking his head, Elder Wu also sighed...

The same scene was also being played out in other inner sect halls of Maoshan. Almost all the inner sect elders had given instructions to their disciples, that is, after enrolling in school, it would be best to be on good terms with Shi Jian, but secondly, they must not make an enemy of him!

The inner sect elders knew very well what it meant for the headmaster to teach directly in the future...

What's more, Shi Jian's talent is so dazzling!
　Human nature is really not trustworthy. Well, forget it, let’s not talk about this. Everyone, please give me some recommendation votes and monthly votes or something!

　　If it really doesn't work, please give me some comments to let me know that someone else is watching it!

　　Without any news every day, I really lack enthusiasm...
