Chapter 46 I’ll fight you

When he finished speaking, Uncle Nine looked at Uncle Seven with a lot more respect.

This is respect for the pioneers.

Only those who have truly practiced to a certain level can understand what it means to be able to achieve this under such adverse circumstances.

To sum it up in one sentence, if you don't practice cultivation and see me, it's like a frog in a well seeing the moon in the sky. If you see me while practicing cultivation, it's like a floating particle seeing the blue sky!

No matter whether Seventh Uncle is good or evil.

To have reached this stage in cultivation is enough for a junior like him to call you "senior" from the bottom of his heart!
This is not to say that Seventh Uncle's magic is powerful and sophisticated. What is truly amazing is how difficult it is for Seventh Uncle to quietly remove a soul-transferring nail in his current situation.

To make a real analogy, it is like pulling yourself up by your hair.

Pure is a miracle!

Even if the eldest senior brother comes, he still has to admit defeat!

Seeing the change in Uncle Jiu's eyes, Song Feng moved his wrist and pulled his arm back:

“Uncle Jiu, don’t be so polite. I’m still waiting for you to help me refine the Seven Absolutes Nourishing God Bait to replenish my blood and energy. You can’t find excuses to shirk your responsibility…”

After hearing what Uncle Seven said, Uncle Nine reacted and then returned to his normal expression:

"Look at what you said, Uncle Seventh. Since I have agreed, there is no reason to refuse. We will set off for Teng Teng Town in two days."

"Once I have collected the coffin fungus, I will try my best to refine the best Seven Absolutes God-Replenishing Bait to replenish your Qi and blood for you, Seventh Uncle!"

Without any external help, Uncle Seven was able to take out a Soul-Transferring Nail. If he had the help of the Seven Absolutes Soul-Replenishing Bait, the result would be unimaginable.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

No wonder the master asked me to learn from my seventh uncle. It seems that the master must have known something a long time ago.

When he thought of this, he was slightly stunned:
"…No, Master!"

Last night, Seventh Uncle still looked listless, but this morning he took out a soul-transferring nail.

The problem must have happened last night.

Sure enough, he was not wrong. Something strange must have happened in the charity cemetery last night!

But there is absolutely nothing in the charity cemetery that can be hidden from me. Even if something can be hidden from me, it cannot be hidden from my master.

Being able to sleep peacefully without being aware of anything is probably only the many ancestors.

Thinking of this, he quickly turned around and strode to the door of the Patriarch's Hall, then opened the door:
"Dangdang!"

Looking inside the Ancestral Hall, I saw smoke and fire filling the hall and the lights were on.

Three incense sticks are lit in front of the statue of each ancestor, and each ancestor's incense burner is filled with half a furnace of incense ash.

Even the moment he opened the door, the smell of incense rushed out, and even choked him and made him cough a few times:

"Cough cough cough..."

After seeing this, Uncle Jiu understood a little bit. It seemed that what happened last night should have been approved by the Grand Master.

If the master approves, then it should not cause harm to the people in the charity cemetery. It is no wonder that the many masters did not remind him. But when he saw the smell of incense in the room and the burning incense sticks, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth:
"You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't manage a household!"

I felt so heartbroken.

How can you burn incense like that? Even if you use it as firewood, you can't just stuff it in handfuls!

Thinking of this, Uncle Jiu walked forward quickly and came to the box next to the altar.

Turning around to look inside the box, I saw that the box, which was originally full of incense and candles, now had only a few loose incense sticks left:
"hiss……"

Taking a deep breath, Uncle Jiu felt his heart was bleeding and his fingers were shaking subconsciously:
"This... this is an entire quarter's worth of incense offerings..."

No wonder none of the many ancestors reminded him. He burned a quarter's worth of incense as offerings in one night. I guess all the ancestors must be going crazy with joy down there.

Just when he was extremely heartbroken, he heard a loud shouting voice suddenly coming from inside the charity cemetery:
"It's on fire, it's on fire, put it out!"

"Don't sleep, put out the fire!"

Loud shouts were heard one after another, and then Simu was seen carrying a bucket of water and running hurriedly towards the ancestral hall.

However, just as he was about to splash water, he spotted Uncle Nine standing in the ancestral hall:
"... Senior... Senior Brother? Why are you here?"

He looked around with the bucket in hand. When he saw that the smoke was coming from the incense sticks and not the burning house as he thought, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"I was shocked. I just woke up and saw smoke coming out of the ancestral hall. I thought it was on fire and came with a bucket of water. I didn't expect it was the incense sticks that were being offered..."

When he said this, Simu looked at the burning incense sticks with emotion, and then looked at his senior brother with admiration:
"No wonder you are so loved by so many ancestors, if I were the ancestor, with so many incense offerings every day, I would love you too."

"I usually see you being stingy, and I thought you were reluctant to give the ancestors good food. I never thought you would be so willing to spend so much money."

"I would rather eat worse than usual, but I must offer enough incense to the ancestors. Junior brother, I am not as good as you..."

When he spoke to the end, Taoist Simu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

No wonder most of the ancestors ignored him when he was praying to the gods. He used to think that it was because the ancestors did not belong to the same lineage as him, so they seemed a little distant.

Now it seems that it was not estrangement at all, it was all because he did not offer enough incense to the many ancestors on a normal basis.

Senior brother is worthy of being senior brother, he really knows what is going on!

This is all knowledge and still needs to be learned!
Looking at Simu's admiring expression, Uncle Jiu's mouth couldn't help but twitch again.

Although he wanted to tell Simu that he didn't do it, when he saw the many burning incense sticks, he felt his heart bleeding.

This old guy never speaks a word of truth.

No wonder he just told me not to find excuses to refuse the bait. It seems he also knows that he has done something immoral!
He knew that the old guy was not a good person. Just now he had some admiration for his seventh uncle, but he didn't expect that the old guy would turn around and use his own incense to bribe many ancestors.

Inhuman! Really inhuman!

Moreover, now that the incense has been burned out, if he doesn’t even have a reputation, then he will suffer a great loss.

Thinking of this, he put his trembling hands behind his back and clasped them tightly, then suppressed his trembling voice and spoke calmly:
"This is all my filial piety to the ancestors. It's nothing, nothing..."

Although he said he was calm, the corners of his mouth could not be raised at all, and there was even a downward arc, and his expression almost couldn't hold back.

If he had burned the incense himself, it would have been considered as a disciple's offering to the ancestor. But now, all the incense he had accumulated was being used by that old guy. Just thinking about it made his heart bleed.

Old man, you and I cannot coexist!
