Under One Person: I am the Master of Maoshan

In the early autumn of the twelfth year of the Republic of China, at the Shen Family Compound.

In the main hall of the courtyard, three-year-old Shen Yan was kneeling in front of a Taoist priest to pay homage to him.

Shen Yan kowtowed and complained in his heart: "Why did I become Maoshan Shi Jian's disciple? He will definitely turn me into a corpse demon from now on. It's over, it's over. This time it's completely over."

Shi Jian, however, looked at the child kneeling on the ground and kowtowing with eyes full of love.

"The apprenticeship ceremony is over, offer tea to the master," the emcee shouted.

The kneeling Shen Yan was a time traveler. In his previous life, he was a college student in the Animation Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in the 21st century. He came from a decent family. During a field trip during the summer vacation of his freshman year, Shen Yan lost his footing and fell off a cliff.

When he opened his eyes again, he was transported back to the body of a newborn baby in 1920.

When Shen Yan was born, his grandfather Shen Shuren examined him and discovered that he was actually the legendary person with a wide range of spiritual powers and an excellent physique for refining Qi.

So he contacted his close friend, the contemporary Maoshan abbot Shi Jian, and asked Shen Yan to become his disciple. Shi Jian was also very happy to see Shen Yan.

On the day when Shen Yan was three years old, a ceremony of paying homage to his master was held, and it was agreed that two years later, when he was a little older, his father would take him to Yuanfu Palace, the ancestral temple of Maoshan, to practice with Shi Jian.

When Shen Yan was serving tea, a cry for help suddenly came from outside.

"Master Shen, help me, save my brother!" A young man held an unconscious man in his arms, shouting for help.

Several servants of the Shen family were trying to stop the man from breaking into the compound, as the apprenticeship ceremony was going on and they didn't want him to disrupt it.

But the servants could not stop him. They saw him quickly enter the yard and rush towards the main hall.

Shen Shuren frowned, but still let the man in. Baicaotang's mission is to cure diseases and save lives, and they cannot delay saving lives for personal matters, so he asked the servant to leave.

The young man put his senior brother on the ground, and knelt down with a plop: "Master Shen, we are disciples of Yanwu Hall, and this is my senior brother. We fought with the monster from Quan Xing, and my senior brother was injured. Please save him."

Shen Shuren nodded and asked him to get up, then put the man on the bed and checked him over.

When Shen Yan heard this, his eyes lit up and his heart was churning: "A monster of all nature? Yanwu Hall plus my own Baicao Hall, this is a world under one person, I love it."

He studied art and animation in his previous life, and his favorite work was "Under One Person" by Second Uncle. It can be said that this work is the pride of Chinese animation.

"Since it's just one person, Shangqing Maoshan is also a legitimate and famous family. At least it won't be like the one in Zombie Supreme. My life is guaranteed," Shen Yan thought secretly.

After checking, Shen Shuren sighed and said, "He has no external injuries, but his body has been invaded by evil spirits. It should be the method of Ye Maoshan." Then he looked at Shi Jian and said, "How about you come?"

Shi Jian shook his head: "Don't worry, they are looking for Master Shen of Baicaotang, how can an old Taoist like me take action? Just do this little thing for them."

Shen Shuren laughed and scolded: "You are really a piece of old stone, stinky and hard."

Then he took out a handful of golden needles, muttered something, took out one and stabbed it into the man's philtrum.

When he got to the ninth one, the man said, "This has nothing to do with you. Get out of here!"

Shen Shuren stopped the needle and smiled: "Why bother? Forgive others when you can. You are also a wronged spirit controlled by others. I will help you cleanse your resentment so that you can be reborn soon."

"It doesn't work, it doesn't work. I want him to taste the same feeling as me when I die." The black energy in Shen Yan's room surged.

Shi Jian frowned and touched Shen Yan's head to protect him, smiling and saying gently: "Disciple, don't be afraid, Master is here."

Shen Yan was indeed a little scared when he grabbed his Taoist robe. This was reality, not a cartoon. It was much scarier than a horror movie.

Shen Shuren saw that he couldn't be persuaded, so he continued to give him acupuncture. After giving him twelve needles, he flicked the needle and heard the man wailing: "Ah..."

He held the needle in his hand and said, "There is still room for recovery. Don't be stubborn. After the last injection, you will completely disappear. We doctors have the virtue of loving life. I don't want to do anything extreme."

After hearing this, the man shouted: "Come on, if you have the guts, scare me to death. I tell you it's impossible. If you dare to do it, I will make your family restless and your descendants will be idiots for generations to come."

Shi Jian became angry when he heard his curse. Shen Yan felt a flash of lightning on the body of the master he was holding. Shi Jian pulled Shen Yan's hand away and arrived in front of the bed in an instant. He pinched his neck with his left hand and pulled out his tongue with his right hand.

"Old Shen, stab him for me. You shameless guy, how dare you curse? Well, I, Shi Jian from Maoshan, will take it. I want to see how you make these families uneasy." Shi Jian's eyes flashed with lightning, like the Ninth Heaven Thunder God.

Shen Yan's eyes were full of stars. He looked at his master with admiration and thought to himself, "How handsome! It turns out that Maoshan also has its own thunder method."

The Five Thunders Method is not unique to the Tianshi Mansion. The Three Mountains Talisman School also has thunder methods, but the conditions for learning them are more stringent.

At this time, a voice rang out in the room: "Are you the master of Mount Mao? I listen to advice. As long as I vent, I will be fine. Can you... let me go?"

Shen Yan turned his head and uttered a cry like Yue Yunpeng in Man Jiang Hong. He thought this ghost was very powerful. He had been shouting for so long, but he became cowardly when his neck was pinched.

Then Shen Shuren stood up and pulled out the needle. Shi Jian took out a gourd from his arms, put the evil spirit into it, and prepared to return to the mountain to perform a ritual to help it reincarnate.

Shen Yan walked over with his short legs and said cutely, "Master, can you teach me the spell you used just now? You look so handsome with lightning on your body. You are much more powerful than my grandfather. You convinced him with just one sentence."

Shen Shuren shook his head and said with a smile: "Stinky boy"

Shi Jian laughed heartily: "Be good, disciple, I will teach you when you grow up."

Then he looked at the disciple of Yanwu Hall and said, "You, lead the way for me. I will go to meet that Ye Maoshan. This method of harming people cannot be spread in the world."

The Yanwu Hall disciple quickly bowed and said, "I didn't know the Mountain Master was here just now. I hope the Mountain Master can forgive me."

Shi Jian waved his hand and said, "Let your brother recover here. I will go with you and lead the way."

After that, he took out two scriptures from his bag and handed them to Shen Yan: "Disciple, study hard at home. Master will be waiting for you at Maoshan in two years."

Shen Yan nodded vigorously, and then Shi Jian took the Yanwutang disciple out of the Shen family compound.

Two years later

That day, Shen Yan got up early as usual and practiced the family-inherited Five Animals Movement Technique.

After five years in this world, Shen Yan has roughly figured out the Shen family. The current head of the Shen family, Shen Shuren, is the head of Xi'an Baicaotang, and is from the same lineage as the Bai family of Baicaotang in Beijing.

Since he could talk, Mr. Shen has personally taught Shen Yan the family tradition of Five Animals Guiding Technique and Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles.

After practicing the guiding technique in his own yard, Shen Yan walked towards the old man's room to pay his respects.

"Good morning, Grandpa"

"Well, recite the acupuncture techniques for me." Shen Shuren looked at Shen Yan with a smile on his face.

"For all kinds of diseases caused by evil spirits and madness, there are thirteen acupuncture points that must be recognized.

Where the body of the needle is the first ghost palace, the second needle ghost believes nothing.

One by one from the beginning, one by one, men from the left, women from the right,

One needle is placed in the philtrum and stops at the ghost palace. The needle is inserted into the left side and then exits from the right side.

......"

Shen Yan recited the rhyme of the Thirteen Needles fluently, and Shen Shuren smiled and said, "Not bad, Yan'er, do you know the origin of the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate?"

Shen Yan said in a baby voice: "It comes from our ancestor Sun Simiao, a great doctor in the Tang Dynasty."
