Because I watched the movie again before this time travel, checked the information, and took simple notes, Shao Cheng's memory of the original plot is relatively clear.

As the pioneering work that set off a trend of spiritual kung fu films in Hong Kong back then, many settings and elements in "Ghost Fighting Ghosts" profoundly influenced many later movies.

From the generation of zombie Taoist Lin Zhengying to Jackie Chan's kung fu comedy, to the rise of Japanese and Korean ghost movies, it is actually closely related to "Ghost Fighting Ghosts".

certainly.

As a work with more experimental nature, this ghost fights ghosts is also quite complex in many settings - Maoshan Taoist priest, please ask for a god to go on, the skeleton ghost king, the legend of ghost mirror, the cat jumps to cheat zombies... The many strange ghost magic tricks are simply dazzling. These elements are naturally a bit messy when placed in the ninety-minute movie.

However... if it is used as information to explore the world... this will give Shao Cheng a lot of tips.

After Shao Cheng's inquiry, the two most important Maoshan Taoist priests in the original work, Qian Zhenren, who helped Boss Tan to murder Zhang Dadan, was disgusted and kind-hearted. Shao Cheng found the place where Xu Zhenren, who helped Zhang Dadan, was found.

What I have already said in the movie is quite clear about these two Taoist priests who are brothers.

Qian Zhenren lives in the town and relies on his magic power to help people tell fortunes, settle down, and make a living. Not only does he have little assets, he has no worries about food and clothing, but he also takes at least two apprentices to serve him... He looks very good.

Xu Zhenren was a little tragic - although he was a brother-in-law, he always adhered to the so-called "no overnight money left" and was unwilling to do anything to harm others, so he just made a living by helping people watch the corpses in the charity village!

You should know that the charity farm in this era is for those poor people who have not found their families for the time being after they die or have poor families and are unable to handle them.

Here, even the local squire neighbors will make up some money to hire people to guard each quarter - it is conceivable that there will be no such number.

People who help people do some funerals and exorcises ghosts in the movie, judging by Xu Zhenren's "treasurely dressed in a torn dress and a wooden sword" look and his disgusting and kind-hearted manner, they will definitely not make much money!

According to the principle, if you choose between these two people, nine out of ten people will choose to get along better, and you will practice for a longer time and have stronger magic power.

But after watching the movie, how could Shao Cheng not know the trick?

indeed.

In the play, Xu Zhenren, who was disgusted and very depressed, said that he was not as good as Qian Zhenren based on his magic power alone.

But this does not mean that the two are so different!

on the contrary.

Although he looked much younger than his senior brother Qian Zhenren and had to be much shorter in his practice, Xu Zhenren was a little down and finally got a little disadvantage in the fight. In the end, with Zhang Dadao cut off the help of the method platform, he tried hard to rebound Qian Zhenren's Fire Dragon. After burning and killing the other party, he was seriously injured and fell, and finally died of anger.

But from the battles between the two sides, it is not difficult to see that although Xu Zhenren is a little weak in magic power, when it comes to learning and applying it, Xu Zhenren has the upper hand.

In addition, Xu Zhenren is obviously better than Qian Zhenren with a big belly in martial arts fighting swords. If it weren't for the fact that Xu Zhenren didn't want to kill his senior brother at first, and just advised him... how could Qian Zhenren have the chance to manipulate the Skeleton Ghost King to chase Zhang Dadan and then fight in the inn?

From this we can see that in fact, the brothers Qian Zhenren and Xu Zhenren, who came from the same school, only have their own strengths and weaknesses.

If you really learn from a master, there will be no big gap between whom you worship.

And throw away these.

From the perspective of character, Xu Zhenren, who was disgusted and kind, helped Zhang Dabang repeatedly and repeatedly, was not willing to use magic to make money and harm others, was much better than the money that was cast and harmed after collecting two ingots of gold!

Moreover, it can be seen from the plot that Zhenren, who had already taken two disciples, actually did not teach the two disciples too many real skills.

This point is enough to show the two "apprentices" in the minds of Qian Zhenren in his mind, and the plot of repeatedly knocking his disciples away from him.

In terms of character, Xu Zhenren naturally won the whole line.

Considering that Xu Zhenren has been poor and has not yet accepted an apprentice, Shao Cheng naturally made a decision.

...

Xu Zhenren couldn't live in the town, but lived in a charity village near the town. He couldn't find out that day, otherwise the last section of the road would have to pass through the wilderness at night.

This obviously will not be a coachman willing to run in the context of ghosts and monsters.

Shao Cheng was unwilling to take risks, so he delayed another night. The next day, he got up early and hid his backpack, took some money and then ran to the entrance of the town to get on a big car. After a while, the carriage was full of people and the coachman waved his whip and shouted to go on the road.

The speed of the ox cart is really not fast.

Zhizhi ran for a long time before he arrived at the station.

After getting off the bus at the entrance of the town, I first found a small shop on the street and asked for a bowl of chicken leg rice to fill my stomach. Then Shao Cheng found someone to find out where the charity farm was located, bought some wine, meat, rice and flour, and carried it on his back to look for Xu Zhenren.

Similar to the crematorium today - where is the reason for the cultivation of dead bodies in a charity village where there is a gloomy place where there is a reason to be cultivated near someone else's house?

After listening to it several times on the way, Shao Cheng found the place.

Afar, an old large tiled house appeared on the side of the road. Following the road to the door, Shao Cheng put down the rice and flour, knocked on the open door panel and asked, "Is Zhenren Xu here?"

The gate of Yizhuang is open in the dark and daytime.

Ordinary people look at it to release the taste, but for experienced people, the more important thing is to prevent the accumulation of corpse qi, causing erosion and even accumulation of the human body, causing corpse transformation.

"I'm, you... have something to do with me?" A head poked out from behind the coffin in the innermost part of the charity village.

Shao Cheng looked closely and saw the other party's eyebrows, big eyes, steel nose, wide mouth, and bronze skin. He looked quite evil. There was a cinnabar mark like a flame on his forehead - this is exactly Xu Zhenren in the plot!

Step into the charity village.

I politely explained the purpose of the trip, but I just returned from overseas and I have been very eager for the rumored Maoshan Art since I was a child. I heard that Xu Zhenren came here again and sincerely became a disciple.

After hearing Shao Cheng's words, Xu Zhenren's two big eyes turned around, and he wanted to push it out, but then he thought: for so many years, his fellow disciples and brothers of the same school have each established their own foundation and accepted disciples and preached. Only he still abides by the rules of "no overnight wealth" and is very poor. He has never even met a disciple who has learned skills for so many years!

Haven’t you ever encountered someone who came to the door to study in the past ten years?

Thinking of this, Xu Zhenren swallowed the words he had just come to his mouth and said, "Acquaintance? There is nothing wrong with this!"

Shao Chenggang showed joy, but he changed his mind: "But... this practice of Taoism and Dharma is not something that ordinary people can do overnight! If you want to join my disciple, I have to take the exam! Are you willing?!"

If someone wants to become a disciple, he will see the poor and poor man wearing torn clothes and not knowing that he hasn't taken a bath for several months and will say this, and he will probably turn his head and leave, and he will leave: "What kind of airs are you still pretending to be a virtuous person?"

However, Shao Cheng, who has watched the plot of the movie, doesn’t know that Xu Zhenren is a Taoist master who doesn’t show his appearance?

He replied in a solemn voice: "It is natural for the master to test his apprentice! If you have any requirements, just say it!"
Chapter completed!
