Chapter 837 Zombie World 13
While the two were talking, the laborers had already dug up Old Master Ren's grave, revealing the top of Old Master Ren's coffin. They put a rope around the coffin and pulled it out successfully. Then they stepped back and carefully laid the coffin flat on the ground.
Uncle Jiu stepped forward alone, holding tools and preparing to remove nails. "Everyone, today Ren Gongweiyong will open the coffin and bring it back to the light of day. Anyone who is 36, 22, 35, or 48 years old, or born in the year of the Rooster or the Ox, please turn around and leave."
Anyone at the scene who met the conflicting criteria described by Uncle Jiu quickly turned around.
"Open the coffin!" Uncle Jiu, Master Ren, Ren Tingting and others put on their clothes and hats and got ready.
"Ah-ah-"
Before Uncle Jiu opened the coffin, the birds in the woods on both sides screamed and flew away suddenly, the crows began to wail, and the atmosphere suddenly became inexplicably tense.
Uncle Jiu looked up and his face became solemn. He walked quickly to the coffin and pushed open the lid. A black corpse smell floated out. Ruyi curiously stuck her head out to take a look at the 'specialties' of this zombie world. She saw a middle-aged man in Qing Dynasty clothing and a feather on his head in the coffin. He had his eyes tightly closed, his limbs stiff, his hands together, and his nails sharp. Except for the skin on his face that looked a little abnormal and very blue and black, the whole person looked lifelike. You couldn't tell that he had been dead for twenty years.
"He's been dead for twenty years and his body hasn't decayed yet. He's going to turn into a zombie!" Uncle Jiu felt something was wrong, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
Turning around, they saw Master Ren and Ren Tingting kneeling down as soon as they saw Old Master Ren, crying, "Grandpa!"
"father!"
"It would be unfilial of me to disturb you, old man!"
"Uncle Jiu, can this tomb still be used?" After crying for a while and pretending to be a filial son and grandson for a while, Master Ren turned around and asked Uncle Jiu about what he cared about most.
It's a pity that Uncle Jiu shook his head and said, "It's like a dragonfly touching the water. It will never touch the same spot again. This acupoint is useless now."
"No use? That won't do!" Master Ren was very anxious. The ancestral tomb was very important. "What should I do then?"
"I suggest that you cremate him on the spot!" Uncle Jiu couldn't tell Mr. Ren directly that after his death, he was hung upside down in a sealed dark room for twenty years, and his resentment was so heavy that he was just one step away from turning into a zombie. So he had to suggest to Mr. Ren that he cremate him on the spot.
"Cremation? That's not okay." But it was obvious that Master Ren would not agree. He refused without even thinking, "My father was most afraid of fire when he was alive. No, I can't do that." Nowadays, the most important thing for people to return to their roots after death is to be buried in the ground. Cremation? He didn't want to be accused of being an unfilial descendant.
"Master Ren, if you don't cremate the body, there will be trouble." Uncle Jiu wanted to persuade him again, but Master Ren was very determined. "It doesn't matter what you do, but you can't cremate the body. Uncle Jiu, please think of other ways."
"You're courting death." Ruyi shook her head, not wanting to listen anymore. From the very beginning, Mr. Ren wanted to use the relocation of Old Master Ren's grave to improve the Ren family's business, so he didn't even want to hear what the 'trouble' Uncle Jiu mentioned was. He only wanted Uncle Jiu to find a solution. His death really deserved it.
Although the Ren family's business has not been very good in recent years, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Mr. Ren still has considerable power in Renjia Town, and Uncle Jiu still wants to live in Renjia Town. Since he has accepted this business, he must satisfy the client. However, he couldn't think of any other way for the time being, so he could only sigh and say, "Okay, in this case, let's temporarily deposit Old Master Ren in the charity cemetery, and wait for me to find another cemetery for Old Master Ren before burying him."
"Okay, let's do it this way." Master Ren nodded with reluctant satisfaction. Then he didn't feel like staying any longer, so he got on the sedan chair with his men and went down the mountain.
After Master Ren and the others left, Uncle Jiu said to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, "You two go and burn a plum blossom incense array. Tell me what it looks like when you come back."
"Remember, burn incense at every grave. Don't miss any."
"Yes, Master."
"Don't worry, Master."
Wencai and Qiu Sheng agreed immediately, then each of them chose a side and started burning incense.
"Daoyou Ruyi, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you today." Uncle Jiu was a very proud person, but things went wrong when he met Master Ren today. Even his 'well-intentioned' proposal did not succeed. It was okay for other people, but he always felt embarrassed when he saw Uncle Ruyi, as if he had boasted too much and ended up breaking his skin.
"No, today is very interesting. This is the first time I see zombies in person." Ruyi was very carefree and didn't notice Uncle Jiu's embarrassment at all. As a result, the word 'zombie' that came out of her mouth instantly reminded Uncle Jiu.
"Fellow Daoist, have you also discovered that something is wrong with the body of Old Master Ren?"
"Uncle Jiu, we are so familiar with each other, why don't you just call me by my name? I feel uncomfortable hearing you calling me fellow Taoist all the time." If we really talk about seniority, Ruyi's seniority is almost the same as the founder of Maoshan in this world. It's unclear who is taking advantage of whom when Uncle Jiu calls him fellow Taoist.
"Okay, as you wish." Uncle Jiu thought about it and agreed, so he changed his words.
Ruyi nodded and explained, "Whose body has been buried for twenty years and is still as good as it was when it was dug out? When the coffin lid was opened, there was such a strong smell of corpse that you could tell at a glance that the person was going to turn into a zombie."
"Ruyi, can you see corpse qi?" Uncle Jiu was surprised. Generally speaking, whether it is positive qi, yang qi, yin qi, evil qi, corpse qi and so on, they all exist, but only people who practice cultivation can see them after opening their eyes using the secret methods of various sects. Otherwise, at most they would feel that something is wrong.
The reason why Uncle Jiu could see was because he used his magic power to open his eyes before approaching the coffin, but he remembered that Ruyi should not be able to gather spiritual energy and open his eyes because of problems with his meridians, right?
"Can't you see?"
"We can see it, but we need to use magic to open our eyes, or drip cow tears, sprinkle grapefruit leaf water, etc. before we can see it."
"Oh, so that's how it is." After listening to Uncle Jiu's explanation, Ruyi didn't care much. However, Uncle Jiu, who was standing by, was once again upset because of Ruyi's qualifications.
“I originally guessed that Ruyi might be a once-in-a-millennium pure body of glass, but I didn’t expect that she was born with psychic eyes, which are even more powerful than ordinary yin-yang eyes.”
"Such aptitude, wow," Uncle Jiu shook his head in envy when he thought of this, "No wonder he was able to cultivate to the level of Spirit Refining and Void Transformation in the Dharma Ending Age."
"However, although the psychic eye is powerful, it also has its drawbacks, which is that it is particularly easy to attract bad things." Thinking that Ruyi's cultivation has just been established, Uncle Jiu frowned tightly, "It seems that we must find a way to help Ruyi recover his cultivation as soon as possible."
