Chapter 3: Ripped Clothes and Stomping on the Ground
Chapter 3: Ripped Clothes and Stomping on the Ground
Tan Wenjie still had to join the sect, but he didn't need to worship Qian Kai as his master, but directly worshipped the ancestor. Moreover, the relationship between the two was unknown to outsiders, as they were afraid that Boss Tan would know that he had no offspring. Tan Wenjie thought that since his talent could be upgraded, he could have children in the future if he couldn't have them now.
Qian Kai is simply afraid of offending the richest people and making it difficult to make money in the future.
Moreover, he was reluctant to spend the money given by Tan Wenjie. Tan Wenjie didn't hire the master for a one-time fee, he paid for it on a monthly basis!
However, Tan Wenjie also left a back door for himself. He agreed that if the overnight money issue was not settled, Qian Kai would expel him from the sect. Becoming a disciple and learning skills is not like joining a club, and one has to go through a lot of hardships before leaving. So Qian Kai nodded and was willing to play with Tan Wenjie.
At this stage, nothing can compare to the Tan family's millions of wealth.
There is Maoshan in this world, but Qian Kai and the Maoshan Taoist priests nearby are not the direct descendants of the Three Mao Zhenjuns.
Most of them are folk Maoshan which are a combination of Maoshan magic, folk witchcraft, and some miscellaneous things.
Tan Wenjie planned to wait until he had turned over a new leaf before going to Maoshan to become a disciple.
If there is a chance to build another road along the way, no, build ten roads, and then open a porridge shop from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, you will definitely be able to build a good reputation.
There are many things that are particular about Minmao, but most of them are poor and particular. Unfortunately, Tan Wenjie is rich.
If you have money, you won’t be so particular and things will be much more convenient.
They also worship the Three Pure Ones.
There is also the ancestor of the family who wears tattered clothes and stomps on the ground.
Those who wear tattered clothes and have no money left on their bodies are all poor.
However, Tan Wenjie directly offered pig heads and roast chickens, filling a whole table with offerings.
You want to wear tattered clothes, but I, your disciple, am filial and will do my best to show my filial respect to you.
The yard was filled with smoke, and the burning incense looked like cooking smoke, drifting for miles away.
"Is that it?" asked Tan Wenjie.
The reason he asked this question was because he found that Qian Kai muttered some incantations for a while, then used incense to poke a hole on his clothes, leaving a hole as big as the tip of a thumb, and then he stopped moving.
Qian Kai looked at the extravagant scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Your heart is so sincere, the ancestor will definitely make things convenient for you."
"It's all little things."
After offering these things, they would not be wasted. They would be given to servants and sent to outsiders, and everyone would scramble for them.
It’s not easy to have a good meal these days.
Qian Kai said: "Come here and kowtow and kneel down, and it will be done."
Tan Wenjie nodded, walked to the incense table and kowtowed.
[Daily Blessing: You have received the blessing of the ancestors, wealth +1]
so good? !
Tan Wenjie was surprised: "Master, from now on, I will prepare all three meals a day for you according to this standard!"
This meal only costs a little more money, but the restaurant is his own. Even if he doesn't make a penny from today, Tan Wenjie can still use it until his 100th birthday if he doesn't inherit Boss Tan's property.
If you accidentally inherit property, it will be a headache. Unless you meet a soldier, you will never be able to spend it all.
[You gained the Master's favorability +1, and the daily blessing effect increased by #￥%, and wealth +2]
"Grandmaster, if it really doesn't work, let's double it. I think eating five meals a day is good for the body. By the way, do you want to build a temple? And get a golden statue, made of pure gold!"
Unfortunately, no response.
Tan Wenjie can’t afford a golden statue now, but after Boss Tan dies and he inherits his property, he should have no pressure anymore.
Qian Kai, who was standing by, glared at him and said, “You, you, you are exaggerating a bit.”
However, Qian Kai adjusted his expression quickly. He glanced at the pile of dollars on the table. As long as he had a relationship with Mr. Tan, he would definitely have money in the future.
Don't keep overnight money? You can still earn money after you spend it! Catch the golden pig!
"Huh" After adjusting his mood, Qian Kai said: "Tan Wenjie, from now on, you are my Maoshan disciple, remember the rule of tattered clothes and stomping on the ground!"
At the same time, Tan Wenjie discovered that his attributes had changed.
Tan Wenjie Level: 1 (0/50)
Life: 10/10
Mana: 1/1
Physical strength: 5/5
Experience: 0
Skill:-
talent:
Ragged Clothes lv1 (At midnight every day, you cannot carry any money, otherwise your bad luck will increase by 10. You must wear ragged clothes, otherwise your bad luck will increase by 10)
Stomping the ground level 1 (inviting spirits to possess the body will cause -10% damage to the body, and the probability of success in inviting spirits will increase by 10%)
L1 (chance of conceiving a child is 0%)
He gained three talents directly by becoming a disciple, although one of them was negative, but it was not a big problem. It was just that he could not bring cash. It would be fine if he had a master or a manager with him. Tan Wenjie would not pay for anything when he went out anyway.
And there is a blue bar as soon as you enter the door, which is cause for celebration.
He felt that the ancestor had made it easy for him by giving him tattered clothes, and only asked him not to carry any money with him because he was afraid that he would really become a pauper.
All his disciples are poor and spendthrift. It has probably been a long time since they had a good meal like today.
Master, you don’t want to be without a pure gold statue and a temple, do you?
"Master Qian" Tan Wenjie changed his words and called the other party "Master" when asking for advice. However, if he did not kowtow, he could not be considered a real master. They were just dealing with each other for interests.
What a pure exchange of interests.
"What spells do you know?"
"Our school mainly learns to stomp the ground, which means to invite gods to come to us. There are three types of invitations: upper, middle and lower. The lower invitation is to invite lonely ghosts, which hurts the body and mind, so we don't learn it. The middle invitation is to invite the ancestors, which can be learned but is not necessary. The upper invitation is to invite the heavenly soldiers and generals, the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and we use the upper invitation!"
It sounds very high-end, but Tan Wenjie didn't believe it, because the "Stomping the Ground" talent clearly pointed out that summoning gods will cause damage to the body, and the "Stomping the Ground" talent can reduce damage.
At his request, Qian Kai repeated it in human language.
The one you are asking for is not the true God in heaven, because the true God cannot enter the mortal world.
What is invited is the temple god, that is, the clay and stone Buddha enshrined in the temple.
You can't say you didn't invite the right one, because the clay and stone Buddhas can also connect with the true God in heaven one day, so when you invite the God, you must prepare the altar, and all the necessary steps for respectful preparation must not be missed.
"anything else?"
"I'm not good at talismans, but I'm pretty good at palm thunder, sword fingering, fire control, setting up altars, and fighting."
"Okay!" Tan Wenjie smiled, "Teach me, I want to learn it all!"
Learning skills is not easy, but it will be a lot easier if you have money to teach you step by step.
But the situation was a little different from what Tan Wenjie thought.
[You learned 'Palm Thunder' under Qian Kai's instruction, but your mana is insufficient and you failed to learn.]
【…】
[You learned 'fire control' under Qian Kai's instruction, but your mana is insufficient and you failed the study.]
【…】
[You learned the 'Sword Finger' under Qian Kai's instruction. You gained something. Experience +1. You learned the 'Sword Finger'.]
Finally learned one!
Qian Kai's sword finger is his unique specialty. Others can only exorcise evil spirits, but his is like the Six Meridians Divine Sword, it can even hit people, and when it hits the body it feels like being hit by a heavy punch.
Skill: Sword Finger lv1 (1/50), Mana Consumption: 1
Tan Wenjie thought for a long time, then slowly stretched out a finger, but he couldn't even blow out the candle flame. Tan Wenjie felt a little helpless.
Not very good.
But Qian Kai's expression became completely different. In his original idea, teaching Tan Wenjie was just like accompanying the prince to study. He would teach Tan Wenjie whatever he wanted to learn, and he would not blame himself if he could not learn it, because he would get paid anyway.
But Tan Wenjie actually learned the sword fingering technique in just half a day!
Maybe Tan Wenjie is really a genius in cultivation!
A genius!
But it is not easy to deal with a genius. Qian Kai's face is changeable. The apprentice learns too fast, so the money he earns will not last long!
He turned his back, thinking slowly in his mind how to keep the business going for a long time, preferably long enough to support himself for a lifetime... But Tan Wenjie's last name is Tan, the Tan of the millionaire!
Tan Wenjie's voice came from behind: "Master Qian, continue."
