This world is currently following the plot of "Mr. Zombie"!
Li Yun fell into deep thought. If he remembered correctly, Qiu Sheng would dress up as a zombie to scare Wencai, but he would accidentally cause the yellow paper on the forehead of Taoist Simu's client to fall off, causing chaos in the charity cemetery.
Sure enough, not long after, Qiu Sheng, who couldn't sleep, returned to his usual weird self. He disguised himself as a zombie to scare Wen Cai, and then triggered the opening plot of the movie "Mr. Zombie" in Li Yun's memory...
This is the plot of a movie, Li Yun remembered.
So what about the old ghost before?
Is this the plot in the novel?
Looking at the morgue where the sounds of fists and kicks could be heard from time to time, Li Yun pondered in his mind while asking if he needed help.
When Taoist Simu heard Li Yun's enthusiastic inquiry, he was startled and quickly refused. However, Uncle Jiu next to him was very powerful in punches and kicks, and in just a few moves he beat the group of zombies that smelled the human scent and kept chasing them into unrecognizable form.
Hearing the crisp sound of bones breaking, Taoist Simu was startled again and hurried to stop Uncle Jiu.
After a while of chasing and fighting, the two finally stopped all the zombies and re-pasted the talisman paper.
Taoist Simu was checking the condition of his clients when he could not help but complain, "Brother, you hit them too hard. You broke the bones of these zombies. Fortunately, their legs were not broken, otherwise they would have trouble walking!"
Uncle Jiu said angrily: "These things are inhumane. Show mercy. What if they hurt yourself?"
Taoist Simu glared at him and said, "But if you break them all, how can I explain to the client?"
Uncle Jiu curled his lips and said, "It's not broken yet. Wencai, Qiusheng, why are you still standing there? Help your uncle move some customers!"
"oh oh!"
Wencai and Qiu Sheng, knowing they were in the wrong, quickly agreed and frantically moved the immobilized zombies.
Li Yun stood outside the door, recalling thoughtfully the actions of Uncle Jiu and Taoist Simu just now.
When dealing with zombies, they stepped on Tiangang, raised two fingers, bit their fingers, raised their hands to make a seal, and tapped the foreheads of the zombies to instantly freeze them.
This kind of method is really easy and natural.
Although Li Yun had not studied Taoism, he had practiced martial arts and knew that the Yingtang point on the forehead was where the Du meridian passed through.
In the movie, Uncle Jiu once said that people are divided into good and bad people, and corpses are divided into zombies and dead bodies. People become bad people because they are not ambitious, and corpses become zombies because they have one more breath.
Now it seems that this breath should be in the Du meridian.
If the Du channel is cut off, the zombie will lose its ability to move.
Of course, this is just Li Yun’s personal guess. The specific principles will have to wait until the skills are mastered.
As for Li Yun personally, he had no intention of taking Uncle Jiu as his master.
So he thought of finding the time traveler first to see if this time traveler had any intention of becoming his disciple and learning Taoism.
If there is, then it's easy to say. If not, then he has to think of other ways...
Thinking of this, Li Yun couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Nowadays, we are in a time of chaos, ghosts are rampant, and evil spirits are everywhere. Even in a place so close to Uncle Jiu, you can easily encounter wandering ghosts, not to mention those places that are still in the midst of war.
This world is indeed too dangerous for ordinary people.
Maybe that time traveler has already died...
That evening, Taoist Simu took his clients away from the charity cemetery and set out on the journey home again.
Before leaving, Taoist Simu said to Uncle Jiu privately: "Li Yun's Zhiyang technique can drive away old ghosts. I think he is extraordinary. It is a good thing for such a distinguished guest to stay in your charity estate, but it may also bring cause and effect and trouble. Brother, you must be more careful!"
Uncle Jiu smiled and said, "I'll be careful, you can get on your way!"
Taoist Simu nodded, rang the magic bell, and took his clients back on the road.
…
…
The next morning, there was a knock on the door. Uncle Jiu walked in with a sumptuous breakfast and greeted Li Yun with a smile to eat.
Wencai hid outside the door, stuck his head out, and quietly looked at the situation in the room.
Li Yun glanced at Wencai, then glanced at the enthusiastic Uncle Jiu, his expression a little strange.
"Uncle Jiu, we are friends now. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to condescend to be polite."
"…Then I'll just say it straight!"
Uncle Jiu was originally quite awkward, and when he heard what Li Yun said, he immediately said bluntly: "You studied abroad, right?"
Li Yun raised his eyebrows, seemed to understand something, and nodded: "That's right."
Uncle Jiu's face lit up, and he asked cautiously, "Then can you drink Western tea?"
Li Yun laughed: "You mean coffee?"
Uncle Jiu's eyes lit up and he said quickly, "Yes, that's right, it's coffee!"
Although he didn't know what coffee was, he subconsciously admitted it after hearing Li Yun's confident tone.
Li Yun nodded: "Of course."
Uncle Jiu was immediately delighted when he heard this.
Li Yun smiled and asked, "Uncle Jiu, aren't you going to have tea with Master Ren today? Why are you suddenly asking about coffee?"
Uncle Jiu sighed when he heard that. "Don't mention it. Mr. Ren wanted to discuss the reburial with me, so he asked me to have tea at a teahouse. I didn't think much of it at first, until this morning when I found out that the teahouse sold foreign tea. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I have studied the tea ceremony passed down by our ancestors, but I have never tasted this kind of foreign tea."
"Well, I was worried that I would make a fool of myself in front of Master Ren, so I thought I'd come to you to learn from you first."
Li Yun smiled and shook his head: "What's there to worry about? Coffee, if it's about brewing, then there are indeed a lot of things to pay attention to, but if it's just about drinking coffee, there's really nothing to learn. If you ask me to teach you, I don't know how to teach you."
"this……"
Uncle Jiu and Wencai at the door looked at each other.
After hesitating for a while, Uncle Jiu tried to test him: "How about you come with me?"
This is what Li Yun was waiting for, but he still pretended to hesitate for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
Seeing that Li Yun agreed, Uncle Jiu and Wencai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Arriving at the market town of Renjiazhuang, Li Yun, who had changed into a western suit, couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he looked at the sign on the teahouse.
By putting a coffee shop sign on the exterior of a teahouse and adding a few foreign words, it immediately becomes the most high-end meeting place in the local area. This is a manifestation of an extreme lack of cultural confidence.
But there's nothing we can do, this is the way the world is.
After glancing at Uncle Jiu and Wencai who were somewhat hesitant in front of the teahouse, Li Yun took a step forward and walked into the teahouse first.
Although the teahouse has a sign of a coffee shop, it is actually a teahouse inside. The waiter waiting on the first floor is good at judging people's clothes. When he saw Li Yun wearing a neat suit, he immediately realized that he was a distinguished guest who had returned from a big city or even overseas.
Without hesitation, the waiter came over and said with a smile, "Dear guest, there are three more private rooms upstairs. I wonder if you would…"
"We are here to see Master Ren."
Familiar words came from behind Li Yun, and the waiter then noticed Uncle Jiu behind Li Yun.
"It's Uncle Nine!" The waiter said in surprise, "Is this person with you too?"
“That’s right!”
Uncle Jiu glanced at Li Yun, who was wearing a neat suit and had a calm expression. His face unconsciously brightened up a bit.
However, when he glanced at Wencai who was cowering beside him, this huge sense of disparity suddenly became apparent...
"So that's how it is!" The waiter suddenly realized and said respectfully, "Master Ren has been here for a long time. He has instructed that when he sees you, he will invite you to the elegant seats upstairs. Please follow me!"
Although the waiter said this to Uncle Jiu, his eyes were glancing at Li Yun.
No one present, whether the tea drinkers on the first floor or Uncle Jiu and Wencai, thought there was anything wrong.
Li Yun nodded slightly, did not reply, but walked towards the stairs.
But it was this restrained attitude that made the waiter in the teahouse become more respectful.
Wencai looked at Li Yun's back and couldn't help feeling envious.
Soon, everyone followed the waiter to the private room on the second floor.
Master Ren had been waiting there with two old servants. When he saw Uncle Jiu and his disciples coming, he immediately smiled.
"Uncle Jiu, you are finally here, please sit down!"
Mr. Ren stood up and invited him enthusiastically, and his words were very respectful, which made Uncle Jiu feel very honored.
When Uncle Jiu sat opposite him, Master Ren looked at Li Yun and asked with a smile, "Uncle Jiu, is this also your disciple?"
Uncle Jiu smiled and shook his head, explaining, "Master Ren has misunderstood. Li Yun is a distinguished guest who is temporarily staying at my charity home. Today, he heard that Master Ren and I were going to discuss important matters in the teahouse, so he was curious and followed me to take a look."
"oh?"
Master Ren raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Li Yun.
Li Yun wore a neat black suit, but he smiled and bowed, introducing himself: "I am a lay disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, and my master is the Yuyang lineage of Kunyu Mountain Yanxia Cave. I came here specifically to visit Uncle Jiu, so I am staying at Uncle Jiu's charity home for the time being."
"So he is a top disciple of Quanzhen Sect!"
Mr. Ren looked surprised, but he knew in his heart that Li Yun must have another identity.
He had already found out that Uncle Jiu's charity cemetery had been spending a lot in the past two days, with at least two dollars spent on wine and meat every day. This kind of expenditure was even more extravagant than that of Mr. Ren.
It is definitely impossible for Uncle Jiu and his two apprentices to be so generous.
So he speculated that the person who paid the money must be the young man in the suit.
However, since the other party only revealed his identity as a lay disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, it meant that he did not want to reveal his other identities for the time being. Master Ren was also a shrewd man, so he naturally would not continue to ask.
He wisely skipped the topic and said with a smile: "Uncle Jiu, you guys order the tea first, I'll go call my daughter over. This girl just learned how to put on makeup and she's teaching everyone here and there when she comes back - you guys order first, don't be polite, I'll pay!"
Having said that, Master Ren stood up with a smile and left the private room.
The waiter waiting in the private room handed the menu to Uncle Jiu and his two companions.
Uncle Jiu took the menu and lowered his voice, "A lay disciple of the Quanzhen Sect. Why haven't I heard you mention this identity before?"
Li Yun smiled and waved his hand, asking the waiter to leave. He then chuckled and said, "This is the identity of one of my brothers. I'm just borrowing it for use."
Uncle Jiu nodded, without any doubt, but asked in confusion: "Why don't you tell the truth? Master Ren is very influential in our area, maybe he can help you..."
"That's not necessary, Uncle Jiu." Li Yun shook his head and lowered his voice, "Believe me, I've come across many people like this. He knows the real purpose of my trip south, and he will only try to forge evidence and establish a relationship with me. He will never really help me."
Uncle Jiu sighed when he heard this: "People are evil, we should be on guard..."
Just then, Mr. Ren's hearty laughter came from outside the private room.
Li Yun, Uncle Jiu and the other two raised their heads and looked towards the door, only to see Mr. Ren with a smile on his face walking into the private room with two young men.
One of them is a beautiful girl wearing a pink dress and a pearl necklace, looking youthful and noble, and the other is a handsome young man wearing an Italian suit with his hair neatly combed behind his head, who looks like a successful person.
After entering the private room, the young man in the suit was still chatting and laughing with Mr. Ren, but his eyes immediately turned to Uncle Jiu.
Li Yun noticed the subconscious action of the young man in the suit, and a half-smile appeared on his face.
Got you, time traveler!
