Chapter 662 Rejection of Apprenticeship
That night, at the largest restaurant in Renjia Town, Lin Hao took the initiative to host a feast for more than a dozen people from the security team.

This action made the security guards burst into tears of gratitude towards Lin Hao.

Even though there are no good people in the security team, they are all from the same town and can't be that bad.

Most of them are the kind of timid and cowardly people who just work in the security team to make a living.

The members of the security team thought that Lin Hao had become the town's security captain with the help of Mr. Ren's connections and background, and that he would inevitably abuse his power in the future.

However, they didn't expect that he was really like a boss and was quite generous to them, which won Lin Hao a lot of people's hearts.

There weren't actually that many people in the security team. Including the old man guarding the cell, there were only about twenty of them and a dozen guns.

Such strength is certainly nothing in the Republic of China, and it is not even worth Lin Hao's attention, but in Renjia Town, it is a force that cannot be ignored.

No wonder Mr. Ren gave such an important position to his nephew Lin Hao.

And the Lin Hao in the original drama was too useless. Until the death of Master Ren, the security captain's career ended. If it were Lin Hao~!

Forget it, this is not a world suitable for hegemony. It is more important to solidify your skills. After all, it is rare to come across a world with extraordinary abilities.

Lin Hao's first choice was naturally to solidify his skills from Uncle Jiu or the zombies, so Lin Hao took the opportunity of drinking to inquire about the location of Uncle Jiu's charity cemetery.

After returning home, Lin Hao suddenly realized that this is a world with extraordinary powers, so he still needs to add an extra layer of protection.

Looking at the time anchor skill that had not been used for a long time, Lin Hao silently set a time anchor point to prevent any accidents.

next day
Lin Hao called two of his men early in the morning and went out with him to buy a lot of gifts. At this time, his man A Fang immediately asked:
"Captain, you're leaving so early, are you going to visit Master Ren?"

Ah Fang looked curious, so Lin Hao took them to the street early in the morning and bought a lot of gifts.

Another team member is called A Jiang, and at this time he is already the double king holding four gift boxes.

"Stop talking nonsense, just follow me!" But after thinking about it, Lin Hao decided to talk about it. He thought they were more familiar with the charity cemetery, so Lin Hao said:
Let's go to the charity cemetery in town to visit Uncle Nine!"

"Uncle Jiu? Is he the Taoist priest who pretends to be a god?" Ah Fang obviously didn't believe in Uncle Jiu's ability to subdue demons.

"Shut up! Since Uncle Jiu has such a great reputation in Renjia Town, you can't doubt him. If you don't want to go, get out of here and go back to the security team now!"

"I'm willing, captain, don't be angry!" A Fang had never seen Lin Hao get angry so seriously, so he immediately gave in and tried to please him.

"Captain, it seems that the owner of the rouge shop is Uncle Jiu's apprentice. Judging from his appearance, he should also be preparing to go to the charity cemetery!"

A Jiang pointed to the door of a rouge shop in front, where a handsome young man was fiddling with a bicycle.

Sure enough, it was really like Uncle Jiu’s apprentice Qiu Sheng in the movie. However, after Qiu Sheng learned of Lin Hao’s request, he was a little shocked and said:
"What? Captain Lin Hao, you want to become my master's disciple?"

Qiu Sheng was stopped by A Jiang. When he heard the purpose of the three people, his eyes flashed with cunning. Especially when he looked at the large and small bags in A Jiang and A Fang's hands, they were obviously expensive gifts.

Using this thing to test a Taoist priest, which Taoist priest can withstand such a test?
Qiu Sheng was immediately attracted. If he could really have such a rich and powerful junior brother, his life would be improved every day in the future.

A sucker who was delivered to the door, a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered! At this time, Qiu Sheng's calculations were crackling.

"Yes, Uncle Jiu is also well-known in Renjia Town. Naturally, I also want to learn some skills from him, a Taoist practitioner!"

Lin Hao did not hide the fact that although he possessed various skills, he had never come into contact with Taoist skills.

Since we have come to this novice village, which is extremely famous in the world, there is no reason to miss out on Uncle Jiu's super gold mine.

"Hahaha, Junior Brother, when I see you look so imposing and reek of money, oh no, the scent of a cultivator, don't worry, I'll introduce you to the Master!"

Qiu Sheng complimented him and came up to him directly, calling him junior brother, and rubbed his fingers so hard that he almost broke the skin.

Lin Hao handed over a silver dollar with a smile, which immediately made Qiu Sheng smile. He immediately became more enthusiastic and led the way in front.

With Qiu Sheng leading the way, the three people from Yizhuang didn't need to ask anything and could just follow behind.

Unfortunately, Qiu Sheng was riding his bike very fast and soon disappeared from sight once he reached the road.

Fortunately, there is only one way to Uncle Jiu’s charity cemetery. After walking about three or four miles, the cemetery appeared right in front of us.

Lin Hao has extraordinary attributes, so traveling is as easy and effortless as strolling in the garden for him.

However, A Jiang and A Fang, who were carrying large and small bags, were exhausted and out of breath.

"Captain, slow down!"

"Captain, wait for us!"

If he wasn't afraid of appearing too mysterious, Lin Hao would have wanted to put these gifts into his space. By the way, it seems that he hasn't made the space equipment yet.

Looking at the two people who were panting, Lin Hao said with a frown.

"When you two go back, you have to train harder. If you can't even cover such a short distance, what's the point!"

Facing Lin Hao's criticism, the two of them stuck out their tongues and took a breath before saying:
"Captain, you are obviously a master of martial arts. Even after walking such a long distance, you are still graceful, elegant, and steady as an old dog~!"

Ah Fang was standing aside, wiping the sweat from his forehead and flattering the emperor.

"Get lost, what do you mean by steady as an old dog? If you don't know how to flatter someone, don't flatter them too hard, or you'll end up hitting the horse's legs!"

Lin Hao laughed angrily, and without caring about the two clowns, he ran straight to the gate of the charity cemetery in the village.

At this time, Qiu Sheng had already ridden his bicycle back to the charity cemetery, and then found Uncle Jiu with great interest.

"Master, I found a junior brother for you! Oh no, I found a junior brother for me!" Qiu Sheng said to Uncle Jiu.

Wencai, who was cooking at the time, heard this and immediately threw away the spatula and ran out with a happy face.

"Qiu Sheng, you found a junior apprentice brother, so I don't have to cook anymore!"

As expected of an honest man, Wencai’s first reaction was that he was no longer the youngest and he would not have to cook and do hard labor in the future.

"Bang~, bang~!" Uncle Jiu appeared like a ghost, and his two heads slammed directly on the foreheads of the two naughty boys.

"If you don't cook, what are we going to eat this morning?" Uncle Jiu had a pair of long eyebrows that looked like straight eyebrows.

There are not many white hairs on his crew cut, and he looks righteous and yet a bit experienced.

The casual clothes were starched and white, and matched with the dilapidated charity home, to use a nice idiom, it means hardship and simplicity, but to use an ugly idiom, it means poverty and shabbiness!

But these do not affect Uncle Jiu’s temperament!

"Ouch, it hurts, Master, please be gentler, I still have to cook!" Wencai was scolded by his uncle Jiu. He immediately covered his forehead, picked up the spatula, and went to cook obediently.

After all, he is not a junior brother, and it is not known whether he will be obedient or not. But if the meal is not cooked, he and Uncle Jiu will starve soon.

"Tell me, what's going on!" Although he was extremely curious, Uncle Jiu still sat down slowly on the stone table beside him, picked up his small teapot, and asked calmly.

The greatest characteristic of this Taoist master is that he cannot lose face or let his dignity fall.

"Master, it's Lin Hao, the new security guard in town. He came to me and said he wanted to become your disciple and learn Taoism from you!"

"Wow, you bought a lot of gifts!" Qiu Sheng said with a grin, obviously very tempted by Lin Hao's gifts.

"Master, as long as you accept this junior brother, you will be able to walk sideways in Renjia Town in the future!" Qiu Sheng said with anticipation:

"Besides, Junior Brother seems to be very rich. Our lives will be improved by then!"

"Bang!" Unfortunately, what greeted him was another slap from Uncle Jiu.

"Money, money, money, you only care about money. Look at your lack of ambition! Did I accept you as my disciples just for money?"

Seeing Uncle Jiu's look of disappointment, Qiu Sheng shrank his neck and said with a wronged look:

"Master, I see that you are so old and you haven't found a mistress for us yet. If you accept a few more disciples, maybe our lives will improve and a matchmaker will come to our door!"

Qiu Sheng’s words made Uncle Jiu even more angry. He immediately picked up the feather duster beside him and was about to hit Qiu Sheng.

"I'll make you talk too much, and make you want the master's wife!"

"Oh no, Master, I was wrong!" Immediately, the master and the disciple, one chasing and the other hiding, chased in the yard, causing chaos.

"Bang, bang, bang~!" Just when Qiu Sheng was hit several times, there was finally a knock on the door.

"Ah! Master, it must be my junior brother coming. I'll go open the door!" Qiu Sheng said as if he had found a savior and quickly ran to open the door.

Uncle Jiu on this side immediately sat up straight and went to the side with a calm expression, but in fact, he kept looking towards the gate of the charity cemetery with a pair of eyes from time to time.

Obviously, he was also very curious about Lin Hao, who took the initiative to seek him out to be his disciple.

"Hey, junior brother, it's you! Where are your two subordinates?" Qiu Sheng opened the door and saw that it was indeed Lin Hao.

However, when he saw that there were no two people holding gifts behind Lin Hao, he was a little disappointed. How could Lin Hao not bring any gifts?

Knowing Qiu Sheng's personality, Lin Hao didn't care and just said calmly:

"They are both slow, Ma Zheng is coming!"

"Huff~, huff~!" At this time, Afang and Ajiang finally arrived, panting.

Then he said with a heavy gasp:

"Captain, you're walking too fast. There are too many gifts. We can't catch up with you!"

"Hahaha, having a lot of gifts is a good thing. Just take your time. My master won't blame you. Come on, come on, please come in. I'll help you get the gifts!"

When Qiu Sheng saw the two men bringing a lot of gifts, he immediately opened the door and let Lin Hao and the other two in.

Seeing the iconic straight eyebrows and the familiar face, Lin Hao recognized Uncle Jiu at a glance, so he quickly stepped forward and saluted:

"I guess this must be Uncle Jiu, the Taoist master. I am Lin Hao, the captain of the Renjia Town Security Team. I have come here specially to learn Taoism from him!"

Originally he wanted to hand the gift to Uncle Jiu, but Qiu Sheng took it instead. Looking at the five or six boxes of things, he held one in each hand and three in his arms, and took them all.

"Cough cough cough~!" Uncle Jiu, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed and quickly coughed twice to remind him.

But Qiu Sheng was so happy that he went to Wencai excitedly to share the joy of the gift. He didn't hear what Uncle Jiu said.

Uncle Jiu's face turned a little black, this apprentice was so embarrassing.

When Lin Hao saw that the gift had been snatched away by Qiu Sheng, he smiled awkwardly, which made Uncle Jiu like him a lot. At least Lin Hao didn't look like a bad person.

But he still shook his head and said:
"Although I don't know where you heard my name, I may disappoint you. I have no intention of accepting a disciple!"

"Ah?" Lin Hao was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would be directly rejected by Uncle Jiu as soon as he arrived.

Although Uncle Jiu was pretentious at this time, he was secretly sizing up Lin Hao. After hearing his rejection and seeing that Lin Hao did not do anything unusually violent, he felt relieved. At least Lin Hao had a good character and was not a reckless man.

Moreover, Lin Hao looks good, especially he has a mature temperament that is as calm as a mountain.

He looked about the same age as Qiu Sheng, about 20 years old. His eyes sparkled with intelligence, and it was obvious that he was not a fool like Wencai.

But it is also this kind of person who is generally smart, cunning and good at calculating.

To be honest, Uncle Jiu doesn't like this kind of person because he likes smart apprentices, but not those who are good at calculating.

Besides, Uncle Jiu really had no intention of continuing to accept apprentices. In troubled times, there were many pitiful people, but there were even more people with ulterior motives.

He has inherited a lot of magical powers. If he receives a disciple with ulterior motives, it might bring disaster to the world.

Although Qiu Sheng and Wencai are unreliable, they are kind by nature and obedient.

But Uncle Jiu found that he couldn't see through Lin Hao, so when Lin Hao asked to be his disciple, he refused without a second thought.

On the one hand, it was to test Lin Hao's character. After all, he didn't know Lin Hao at all, and had no idea whether his character was good or bad. Naturally, he wouldn't rashly accept him as a disciple just because of a few gifts.

At the same time, Uncle Jiu did seem to want to decline. Even if he wanted to accept him as a disciple, he would at least have to test him for a period of time.

"This is my first visit and Uncle Jiu doesn't know me well, so it's understandable that he is unwilling to accept me as a disciple!" Lin Hao used his illusion skill to probe Uncle Jiu's thoughts, and at this moment Lin Hao immediately understood the crux of the problem.

Although the plot has not yet begun, Lin Hao does not want to waste time, so while talking, he uses illusion skills to try to modify Uncle Jiu's memory.

"Swish!" Uncle Jiu stood up suddenly as if stimulated by something, picked up a peach wood sword, and shouted loudly:
"Who is this evildoer who dares to act so violently in front of me?"

"Damn, I've been discovered!" This was Lin Hao's first reaction. This was the first time he was discovered while using his illusion skill.

However, Lin Hao discovered that Uncle Jiu didn't seem to be paying attention to him, so he didn't dare to move at all.

However, Lin Hao thought that things had come to this point, so he decided to go all out and continue modifying Uncle Jiu's memory.

When Uncle Jiu found that there was no movement, he once again found that his mind was disturbed. He bit his finger without thinking, then drew a talisman in the air, then wiped it on his eyes and chanted a few spells.

In just a moment, Uncle Jiu shouted loudly:
"Yin Yang Eyes~!"

However, what Lin Hao did not expect was that the progress of the illusion skill was very slow, and at this time Uncle Jiu had already started using Taoist magic. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he immediately quit the skill.

"System, solidify Uncle Jiu's skill!" As the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed, Lin Hao immediately used the solidified skill.

"Wait, my goodness, I'm at a big loss!"
