Qingquan Village is a village under the jurisdiction of Jiuquan Town, with seventy or eighty households, which is not a small village. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info and the group did not disperse when they returned to the village, but all gathered in the open space in the center of the village.

Xiao Peng found that there was a table in the center of the open space, and a yellow cloth printed with gossip maps was spread on the table, and a circle of yellow charms was pasted around it, on which were placed bells, order flags, candles, cinnabar, wolf pen and other props for the altar method, and the two large bowls of glutinous rice were only a little bit left at this time, and the ground was scattered everywhere, and some glutinous rice became black.

At this time, five meters away in front of the altar, there were four corpses, two men and two women, side by side, and what they all had in common was that they both had two blood holes in their necks, which were obviously bitten to death by zombies.

Next to several corpses, a man and a woman and two children cried tears, and the adults grabbed the two and did not let them touch the corpses, because Uncle Nine had instructed that the people who were bitten to death by zombies had corpse poison on their bodies, and they must avoid direct contact to avoid poisoning.

Uncle Nine sighed, turned to the village chief, and said, "Burn the corpse as soon as possible! ”

The village chief nodded solemnly, walked to the two children, and said in a harmonious voice: "Ah Xing, Xiaoyue, your festival is good, Uncle Nine has eliminated the zombies and avenged your parents, you can rest assured, the villagers are your relatives, everyone will take good care of you, now let your parents go in peace!"

Xiaoyue didn't speak, just cried vigorously, although Ah Xing was only an eight-year-old child, he was a boy no matter how he said it, and he was much stronger than a girl in this regard. glanced up at the village chief, then turned to look at Uncle Nine, and nodded silently.

Seeing Ah Xing's response, the village chief nodded with satisfaction and said, "Ah Xing, you are older than Xiao Yue, you are the elder brother, you have to take good care of Xiao Yue in the future, you know? From today on, you will be a man." After speaking, he straightened up and motioned to the villagers to bring firewood.

At this time, Uncle Nine didn't know what he was thinking, sighed softly, walked up to the two children, and said, "Ah Xing, Xiaoyue, are you willing to worship me as a teacher and learn Taoism from me, and when you succeed in learning in the future, you can kill demons and protect the villagers from demons and monsters." ”

The people around listened to Uncle Jiu say this, and looked at him gratefully, although it was only two children, but the villagers were not rich, and it was a heavy burden to feed two children who had no productive capacity, and it would not be good for them to let the two children grow up eating a hundred meals.

Uncle Nine is willing to accept two children as apprentices, which is basically equivalent to adopting two children, so that they will not become wild children who are unsupervised.

The village chief listened to Uncle Jiu's words, and hurriedly said to the two children: "Ah Xing, Xiaoyue, Uncle Nine wants to accept you as apprentices, that is the blessing you have cultivated in your previous life, and you don't kowtow to the master?"

The two children naturally did not have any opinions, but they knew that the village chief was doing it for his own good. didn't hesitate at the moment, both knelt in front of Uncle Jiu, kowtowed a few times, and shouted, "Master." ”

"Well, get up, when tomorrow we have arranged your parents' funeral, follow me back to Jiuquan Town, and Master will raise you in the future." Uncle Nine nodded, picked up the two children, and said gently.

Uncle Jiu is not married in his thirties, and he has no intention of getting married in his life, so this apprentice is equivalent to his children, and he will rely on them to support his old age in the future, so his eyes on the two children are suddenly different.

"Uncle Nine, anyway, if you want to accept an apprentice, it's better to accept one more!" Xiao Peng suddenly said loudly, then knelt down on one knee, raised his hands into fists above his head, and said solemnly to Uncle Nine: "Please accept me as an apprentice Uncle Nine." ”

Uncle Nine was stunned, not knowing which one Xiao Peng was doing, "This ...... Brother Xiao, what are you doing here? How can Lin Jiu be able to do this, how can he be worthy of you like this? Hurry up. As he spoke, he was about to help Xiao Peng, but who knew that he grabbed his arm and lifted it, but he didn't lift it.

"How can Uncle Nine not be able to afford it? Just as the so-called troubled times are coming, there will be demons, and now I am in Great China, surrounded by foreign enemies, civil wars, and warlords are fighting each other, making life miserable and the people miserable. ”

Xiao Peng took a deep breath and said firmly: "The troubled times are coming, the resentment, evil spirit, and anger between the world are getting heavier and heavier, and there will inevitably be demons everywhere, and resentment is everywhere. ”

"This ......"

Uncle Nine was silent, and the surrounding villagers were also silent, they were shocked by Xiao Peng's words, and at this time, the eyes of the surrounding villagers looking at Xiao Peng were full of admiration, this is a good young man!

Uncle Nine looked at Xiao Peng fixedly, and said seriously: "Brother Xiao's family history, if you worship me as a teacher, it is equivalent to entering my family, will your family agree?"

Xiao Peng said categorically: "One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, before returning to China, I explained to my family clearly, I didn't plan to go back this time, even if I die, I will die on the land of China, if Uncle Nine is willing to accept me as an apprentice, it is my only relative in the country, Xiao Peng must serve wholeheartedly, never dare to have the slightest disobedience, if you violate this oath, there is no place to bury you, you will not be allowed to enter reincarnation after death, and you will never be reborn." ”

"Hiss......"

When the surrounding villagers heard Xiao Peng make such a heavy oath, they all gasped, and their attachment to the motherland was fully revealed between his words. Uncle Nine was also shocked inexplicably, he is a cultivator, naturally he knows better than anyone that there is a god in his head, and this cycle of life and death is a clear thing, this young man made such a heavy oath, and the sincerity of his heart can be seen.

Uncle Nine couldn't find a reason to refuse Xiao Peng, sighed lightly, and said, "Since your heart towards the Tao is so strong, if I don't accept you again, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see it! ”

Xiao Peng was overjoyed when he heard this, kneeling on one knee and kneeling on both knees, and kowtowed three times sincerely, the reason why the apprentice usually kowtowed three heads means that one worships the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, the second worships the ancestor of the master, and the third worship takes the master as the father, and kowtows three heads, which means that he has become the disciple of the master, and since then he has inherited the mantle of the master, just like the son inheriting the father's business.

"Okay, from today on, Xiao Peng will be my eldest disciple of Maoshan Lin Jiu, Ah Xing Xiaoyue, Xiao Peng will be your senior brother in the future, you should respect him like your own brother, understand?" Uncle Jiu happily picked up Xiao Peng and smiled at Ah Xing and Xiao Yue who were watching from the side.

The two sensible said hello to Xiao Peng, "Yes, hello senior brother." ”

"Senior brother and sister, hello, come, senior brother invites you to eat candy. Xiao Peng took out a few pieces of chocolate from the suitcase, tore open the package and handed it to Ah Xing and Xiao Yue, and the two little ones with tears on their faces took the chocolate and took a bite, the sweet taste made the two little pairs of Xiao Peng show an innocent smile.

Immediately, Xiao Peng took out a small briefcase from the suitcase and said to Uncle Jiu: "Master, this apprenticeship happened suddenly, and the apprentice did not prepare any apprenticeship, these are the belongings that my family prepared for me when I returned to China, so it should be regarded as an apprenticeship for the master! ”

Uncle Nine took the briefcase handed over by Xiao Peng, his hand sank slightly, and his heart was secretly shocked, what is so heavy? However, he didn't open it in front of all the villagers, and said to the village chief: "Village chief, it's too late today, arrange for someone to cremate the body and go back to rest! ”

"Okay, then Uncle Nine, you and this ...... Uh......" The village chief suddenly froze, because he didn't know what to call Xiao Peng now, now that Xiao Peng was already the apprentice of the ninth uncle, it was naturally inappropriate to call Brother Xiao again.

"Village chief, you call me Dapeng! This is my nickname, and Master calls me that. Xiao Peng smiled and said to the village chief.

"Hehe, okay, then Ninth Uncle Dapeng, you go and rest first! Leave it to us here, Ah Xing Xiaoyue will pack the ashes of her parents later, and I will take them to sleep again." "The village chief called his son and asked him to take Uncle Jiu and Xiao Peng to rest, fortunately, there are more rooms in the village chief's house, and it doesn't matter if there is one more person.
