Chapter 108: The Ruined Maoshan Sect
Chapter 108: The Ruined Maoshan Sect
Tan Wenjie was not so eager to get married because he knew his partner was Zhuge Xiaohua.
"Master, who is the leader of our Maoshan Sect?"
He had never thought about this problem before, because the world was too chaotic, the previous dynasty collapsed, and it was the first year of the Republic of China.
There were wars and banditry everywhere, and the people were living in misery.
The situation of buying a daughter for a steamed bun can be seen everywhere, and in some places, one can marry a beautiful wife for two kilograms of grain.
In order to survive, there were professions such as Maoshan, evildoers, sorcerers, poison masters, fortune-tellers, etc. Almost every village has one or two people who are good at Maoshan magic. They can also call themselves Maoshan disciples, and they also worship the Original Heavenly King, the Supreme Dao Lord, and the Supreme Laojun.
When everyone meets, they call each other fellow Taoists.
Even Shi Jian, who was tacitly regarded by Tan Wenjie as the strongest person he had ever met, never said that he was the head of Maoshan.
I’m afraid this Maoshan is not the same Maoshan on Earth where he lived in his previous life.
It feels like dandelion seeds blooming everywhere.
The way of teaching apprentices is also the style of Jiu Shu, Simu and others. One person takes several apprentices, and then the apprentices will recruit more apprentices in the future. In this way, the skills are divided into countless branches and passed down.
Just like Uncle Jiu’s apprentice may not necessarily know Simu’s apprentice, the distance between them is too far, everyone is in their own territories, and it is difficult for them to have any intersection in their lifetime.
"The head of Maoshan?" The second uncle seemed confused by Tan Wenjie's question. "I'm afraid it's hard to find one. Why, do you want to be the head of Maoshan?"
Tan Wenjie: "Will there be a salary increase when the head of Maoshan dies and goes to work in the underworld?"
The second uncle glared at him. He thought that the boy was saying that he was paid too little when working in the underworld.
It's a stable job, so what if the salary is low? How can ordinary people imagine the benefits of it?
"Go away!" Second Uncle waved his hand, "I don't care about your marriage anymore."
"Master, I still need your care."
Even though my second uncle ended up finding the wrong place for me and ended up finding the Zhuge family, it still showed that my second uncle was very capable. Maybe he could find more famous families in the future. If this one doesn't work, there's always the next one.
However, seeing that his second uncle didn't want to talk about the leader of Maoshan, he changed the subject.
In fact, he had already learned the location of the authentic Zixia Temple of Maoshan from the fox spirit a long time ago. He asked his master about it only to learn more about the situation indirectly.
It seems that all Taoists in the world are the same now. I am afraid that even the “authentic Maoshan” Taoists can’t make ends meet.
"Master, I have a few bottles of foreign wine, would you like to try some?"
"Foreign liquor?" The second uncle smacked his lips.
You're almost dying, are you still afraid that drinking will harm your body?
Although Tan Wenjie didn't say it, his second uncle understood what he meant and smiled: "I'm dying too, so it's okay to drink some wine."
Having a wealthy and filial apprentice will always make you feel better.
"I'll have someone arrange it right away." Tan Wenjie walked to the door, "Someone come here!"
Fei Bao trotted over: "Boss."
When he saw Fei Bao, Tan Wenjie was a little surprised. He didn't specifically inform him that he was coming back, but he actually followed him on his own initiative.
Feibao’s work really makes people feel at ease.
"Fei Bao, go to the restaurant and order some dishes. Pick out what my master can eat. He has a strong taste. Also, go to my house and get those two bottles of foreign wine that the mayor of the neighboring town sent me."
"it is good!"
Tan Wenjie came in and poured tea for his master.
Then I heard my second uncle ask, "What are your rules for taking a concubine?"
Tan Wenjie answered truthfully, "After half a month, we will bring the person back first, then set off firecrackers and prepare a banquet for some nearby friends. We won't bother those far away. We will have someone carry the sedan chair around the Tan residence three times, and then we can go in."
Taking a concubine means buying a woman.
The three letters and six engagements are required to marry a wife. After entering the house, the status is also different. A wife cannot be divorced without permission, but a concubine can be given away at will. From ancient times to the present, it is common to give concubines to others in exchange for money, and some people even use concubines to entertain guests.
Tan Wenjie's rules for taking a concubine have already exceeded those of 99% of the people in this world who take wives. Many people take a concubine and just bring her into the house to sleep with her.
"Yes." The second uncle nodded and reminded, "Don't have children before you marry a wife."
"Yes, Master."
……
Level: 5 (0/120050)
Remaining unallocated experience: 285
When Tan Wenjie left the Zhu family, he added all his experience points in one go. He increased his physical strength limit to 34, and gained the name of the gray world of [Secret Realm] that only those at level 5 can enter.
The First Commandment
The first commandment was a world with only ghosts and no other abilities. He had to go in and see for himself what it was like.
Since this world is full of ghosts, maybe I can kill them to my heart's content?
I don’t know whether General Black Tiger and Zhong Kui will be happy, but he is already trembling with anticipation.
Take off your clothes and take a bath as usual, then burn incense and worship the gods before starting to smoke.
Boom, boom, boom. The bathtub began to shake.
Tan Wenjie had just taken off his clothes and laid in the tub. Before he could ask the maids to come in and help him take a bath, he heard the door open behind him: "Go out first, don't come in."
The maids said softly: "Yes, Master~"
Helping the master take a bath is a good job that everyone is eager to do.
Although there are not many maids in the Tan residence, they are divided into different levels. The most beautiful ones are responsible for Mr. Tan's daily life and personal service. If they are lucky enough to be taken into the master's room, they can become concubines. Even if they are unlucky, as long as they can climb into the master's bed, they can be considered first-class maids and enjoy a good life.
"Why aren't you wearing any clothes!" Bai Rourou's figure was reflected in the bucket.
"Wear clothes and take a bath?"
He admitted that he thought about getting wet and thought that his knowledge was really too limited. Next time, he would let Bai Rourou try to take a bath with clothes on so that he could study hard.
I want to improve so much.
"Pah!" Bai Rourou spat softly, and then said, "Today the matchmaker came to propose marriage to Xiaohua. She took the man's horoscope, and the sister-in-law said that the horoscopes are compatible and the attributes are mutually beneficial. Guess who that person is?"
"Who is it? It sounds like one in a million." Tan Wenjie asked pretending to be stupid.
Bai Rourou stretched out her finger, wishing she could get out of the bucket and poke it into his forehead: "It's you!"
Tan Wenjie: "Congratulations, you have found a treasure."
"Huh, do you want to marry my nephew?"
Want to? Tan Wenjie didn't want to at all. Zhuge Xiaohua wasn't ugly, but she had a bit of a silly temperament.
Regardless of whether a man or a woman has a good appearance, temperament is a plus point as long as the facial features are not too ugly. However, Zhuge Xiaohua's temperament is a minus point. It just so happens that her appearance cannot even up the score. In addition, her fat father is so troublesome. He thinks that instead of dealing with the Zhuge family, he might as well deal with Ren Fa and bring Tingting home first.
But if he says he doesn't want to, then the alternative rice bowl of nephew + aunt mentioned by Bai Rourou is not impossible, and he can make do with it.
Tan Wenjie: "Why don't you call her sister and she calls you aunt from now on?"
Bai Rourou rolled her eyes at him and said, "My sister-in-law stopped this matter and didn't dare tell my brother. Don't even think about it."
"Don't worry, I don't want to get married either. When my master asked a matchmaker for me, you and I didn't even know each other."
The two chatted for a few more sentences until finally Tan Wenjie mentioned that he would take a concubine in half a month. Bai Rourou blushed and closed the "video call".
After traveling for several days, he accompanied his second uncle to drink for half a day. Later, Zhu Dachang and Fei Bao joined the battle. Even if he was really a superman wearing his underwear outside, he felt a little dizzy at this moment.
Mr. Tan raised his head, closed his eyes and said, "Someone come~"
This is a disgusting yet enviable life.
