Chapter 139: Excessive modesty is pride
The bright and clear moonlight gently falls on the world, covering the earth with a layer of silvery veil.

Under this moving moonlight, a beauty stands quietly in the deep valley of the mountains.

Her face is pure and elegant, like a fairy in the Moon Palace, emitting a faint light.

Her figure is graceful and dignified, like a blooming lotus.

She is Tang Sai'er.

Cheng Long hasn't seen the tiger sister for three years.

"Are you willing to come back?"

Looking at the man walking slowly along the mountain road, Tang Sai'er's tone revealed a hint of resentment, as if she was a woman who had been abandoned by her husband for many years.

"Sister Shanjun, I'm busy!"

Cheng Long smiled awkwardly. Although he was busy, he was not completely unable to spare any time. The main reason was that the two female demons around him were too clingy and he could not get away for the time being.

Jingjing and Teacher Bai each have their own tastes. From time to time, Liu Cheng would call them to the Liu Mansion to enjoy the service of the seven concubines.

His leisure time is often squeezed out.

"Yes, I'm busy building factories, expanding the army, and being a powerful general! You're such a busy man, how can you still think of me, your boss?" Tang Sai'er crossed her arms across her chest, holding up half a pound of flesh.

"Hahaha……"

Being squeezed by Lady Tiger, Cheng Long was not afraid, but laughed wildly, winking and joking: "Sister Tiger, are you jealous?"

"Nonsense! How could I be jealous of a little girl and a female ghost?"

Although she said no, Tang Sai'er even found out clearly whether the two beautiful women around Cheng Long were human or ghosts.

You know, after Teacher Bai Lingbai got what she wanted, she only met two people.

One is Cheng Long and the other is Jingjing.

Tang Sai'er could tell the truth about Bai Ling, even Zhou Susu didn't know about it. If he hadn't been paying attention secretly, he would never believe it.

Without waiting for Cheng Long to reply, Tang Sai'er realized that she was paying too much attention to her subordinates, and said seriously: "Fortunately, after you took over the Cao army, you did not actively expand. I forgot to tell you that clergymen are not allowed to participate in the hegemony of the world. The deeper the entanglement, the easier it is to fall into karma."

"To put it bluntly, you can't kill people at will!" Cheng Long summarized it simply.

"That's right. Clergy can only exorcise demons and kill a few more evil people at most. In the world, everyone fights for supremacy, and the people below follow orders. If they kill too many people, they will definitely be infected with karma."

"Sister Shanjun, I know what you are talking about..."

Cheng Long smiled and took out the God Seal of Wushan from thin air: "This is the God Seal I got from the Lame Tiger of Queya Mountain three years ago. If I refine it by force, can I steal the authority of the priesthood?"

"If it were in the past, I would have advised you to throw away the divine seal, but now the gods of heaven have been in hiding for hundreds of years and have long since stopped caring about worldly affairs. You can steal authority at any time, but stolen authority is not the right way after all. You can only do it yourself."

Tang Sai'er did not give any specific suggestions. If no one from above intervened, stealing the authority of a priesthood would certainly be profitable and could even speed up one's practice.

But who knows what the future will be like, what if the hidden gods in heaven come back?

That comes with risks.

How could she give any specific suggestions on such matters? It was up to Aaron to decide whether or not to steal power.

"If I give it to you, will it be good for you?" Cheng Long handed over the seal without hesitation.

Tang Sai'er looked down at the Wushan Divine Seal, then looked up at Cheng Long, and said blankly: "Of course it will be beneficial to give it to me. I am the genuine mountain god, and Wushan is nearby. I have every reason and ability to take over and expand my divine authority. It's just... are you sure you want to give the Wushan Divine Seal to me?"

"If you are not sure about something, just take it."

Cheng Long very domineeringly stuffed the divine seal into Tang Saier's hands.

After a moment's hesitation, Tang Sai'er took out the Wangyue Mountain Divine Seal and merged it with it. In an instant, the Divine Seal dominated by Wangyue Mountain burst into a brilliant light, and then suddenly cracked open, like a bloody mouth, and instantly swallowed the slightly smaller Wushan Divine Seal into its stomach.

The two divine seals merged with each other and the divine light flickered for a long time before returning to calm.

Cheng Long looked at Tang Sai'er again. She hadn't changed. She was still the heroic and pretty lady, but her temperament had become more dignified and sacred, and even her magical powers had increased a lot.

"Congratulations to Sister Shanjun for her sudden surge in power!"

"Slippery tongue!" Tang Sai'er was delighted and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that fusing the divine seal could actually enhance my magic power. If I had known this would happen, with so many wild mountain kings nearby, why would I have waited until now?"

Many of the orthodox mountain gods died in the great changes hundreds of years ago.

In addition to the clergy who guard the famous mountains and rivers, most of the hills in the deep mountains and old forests are occupied by demon kings and ghost kings. There are many tiger demons and ghost kings who have picked up the divine seal and called themselves mountain gods.

"Do you need my help?"

"No need, these rotten fish and vegetables can be easily handled by Hu Niu."

Tang Sai'er had seen Cheng Long's methods. Although the wild tigers near Wangyue Mountain would occasionally commit crimes, it was because someone provoked them. They would not fight and kill each other as soon as they met.

Let Aaron go and grab the divine seal, and none of these wild mountain beasts will survive.

It would be fine if everyone deserved to die, but many of them did not.

So, she could only arrange Hu Niu to do this.

……

Cheng Long chatted with Tang Sai'er for a long time before saying goodbye and returning to Ikkiu's home.

Three years ago, he would have hesitated before entering Jingjing's room, but now he just greeted Ikkiu and walked in with ease, lifting the door curtain.

However, although the two of them hugged each other out of habit, they did not do anything out of line.

The next day, they both got up early. After washing up, Cheng Long made three bowls of instant noodles and gave the vegetarian noodles to Master Ikkyu.

"Master Yixiu, in which direction is Renjia Town?" "To the south, go thirty miles from the direction you came from. There is a fork in the road. Go around it and follow the official road for fifty miles and you will arrive."

"Thank you, Master."

After dinner, Jingjing helped Cheng Long pack his luggage. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Brother Long, I want to stay and spend more time with Master. Master is getting older and older, and I'm worried..."

"It's okay. You can stay with me as long as you want. I can't bear to see you suffer with me. It would be great if you could stay in Wangyue Mountain, where the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming. You can also study Buddhism."

Cheng Long is not a person with a strong desire for control. If someone is his, they have to follow him around the country. He doesn't have so many thoughts. If Jingjing wants to be filial, he will let her stay. If she wants to follow him, he will take her with him on the trip.

Whether to leave or stay depends entirely on Qingjing's mind.

"Brother Long, my major now is Shura Sutra, can I also practice Buddhism?"

"Why not?"

Cheng Long didn't even think about it and immediately retorted: "Buddhism often says that if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha right away. Isn't there anyone in the world who cannot be saved? So many evil people in ancient and modern times have been able to enter, so what's wrong with practicing the Asura Path? Do you have to kill dozens or hundreds of good people before you can put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha right away?"

"..."

Jingjing was speechless after being rebuked.

Buddhism claims that there is no discrimination in the teachings, but in fact there are many angry-looking Vajras in the religion. Isn’t the value of these Vajras’ existence to slay demons and eliminate evil?

Many things cannot be delved into too deeply, as doing so will lead to contradictions.

After bidding farewell to his master and disciple, Cheng Long packed up his bag and rushed towards Renjia Town without stopping.

After the Zombie Supreme plot line unfolds, it means that Shi Jian's son Shi Shaojian is about to transform into a zombie. Such a good experience treasure cannot be wasted, he must do it himself.

Killing others is a waste.

……

after an hour.

"Tanghulu, sour and sweet icy candied haws, delicious and inexpensive."

“Tofu pudding, freshly made tofu pudding.”

"A steamed bun costs two cents, a large meat bun costs three cents..."

Cheng Long walked slowly on the street, listening to the shouting around him, and felt that Renjia Town was just like in the movies, bustling and popular.

However, it is mostly an acting role in the movie. In the real zombie world, the prosperity of Renjia Town is due to his contribution.

Without him bringing in huge sums of money to set up a military industrial park and continuously providing advanced weapons, how could the National Protection Army develop so rapidly, absorb knowledgeable people one by one, and defeat the northern warlords...

"Aaron?"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe and glasses came towards me.

If not Simu, who else could it be?

"Master Simu, long time no see."

"Yes, three years."

Taoist Simu looked him up and down and exclaimed, "Along, your cultivation speed is simply amazing. Three years ago, I could still see some signs, but three years later, I feel that you are unfathomable."

"It's a small breakthrough, not worth mentioning."

"Excessive modesty is pride, Aaron, you can't do that."

"Master Simu, is there a hotel nearby?"

"Yes, yes, I'll take you there."

Taoist Simu led the man into a hotel, booked a room for him, and then took him out, saying as they walked: "Ah Long, my senior brother's charity cemetery is just outside the town. I'll introduce you to him later. You saved Junior Brother Qianhe, so he's our Maoshan's benefactor. By the way, there's a good show tonight. If you're bored, you can come with me to take a look."

"Catching ghosts?"

"You know it all?"

"I just came from your house, and the master told me everything."

Hearing this, Simu sighed: "My senior brother is good in every way, but he is too soft-hearted. When his disciples are disobedient, he neither beats them nor scolds them. As a result, few of his seven disciples are decent."

"Wait, seven?"

Cheng Long widened his eyes in astonishment. Uncle Jiu from Renjia Town has so many disciples?

Taoist Simu was stunned and asked, "What happened to seven?"

"Uh, nothing. What are their names?"

"My eldest disciple is Fei Bao, and my second disciple is Ah Hai. These two are the most eye-catching. Fei Bao already has almost 50% of my skills, and is almost as good as me. The ones behind him, Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, Ah Fang, Ah Xing, and Xiao Yue, are all more naughty than the others."

"This shows that Master Lin has the ability to allow them to maintain their nature."

After being amazed, Cheng Long finally understood why Uncle Jiu had so many disciples. It turned out that he included all the disciples he had taught in the movie series.

There are Fei Bao and Ah Hai in Ghost Bites Ghost, Ah Xing and Xiao Yue in The Exorcist, Ah Fang in The Taoist Priest Yi Mei, and Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai in the Mr. Vampire series, making a total of seven.

Fortunately, Aqiang and Ade from Mr. Spirit were not counted, otherwise they would be two more scammers.

These two guys are not as talented as Qiu Sheng in literature...
