"Oh?" Master Ren asked humbly, "Why?"
Uncle Jiu laughed and said, "Because bean sprouts look like Ruyi, they are also called Ruyi vegetables. And funerals are not a good thing after all..."
Master Ren suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
The two continued to chat about the details of the coffin removal and reburial. Soon, the coffee that everyone ordered was served. With Li Yun and Ye Chen present, Uncle Jiu and Wencai did not make a fool of themselves in this segment. However, Ye Chen kept finding ways to chat with Uncle Jiu and Li Yun, which made Ren Tingting very unhappy.
She felt that Ye Chen was a little cold towards her today, so in a fit of anger, she made an excuse to go buy rouge and powder and asked Ye Chen to accompany her.
Ye Chen had no choice but to say goodbye and leave, and go with Ren Tingting to buy rouge and powder.
Before leaving, Ye Chen glanced at Li Yun, made a three with his hand, and pointed at the coffee on the table.
Ordinary people would definitely be puzzled when seeing his actions, but an idea instantly popped up in Li Yun’s mind.
It’s a little after three, let’s have some tea first!
This is an appointment with him for tea at 3pm...
Quite interesting!
Li Yun showed an interested look on his face.
…
That afternoon, Mr. Ren and Uncle Jiu had already discussed the matter of removing the coffin and relocating the burial place, and were preparing for the relevant work.
Li Yun originally planned to help and participate in the plot, but now that the time traveler has been found, he naturally has to give priority to the time traveler.
At about 2:40 in the afternoon, Li Yun came to the teahouse and booked the entire second floor. He sat by the window on the second floor, leisurely drinking tea while overlooking the human scene on the market street.
Not long after, steady footsteps were heard on the stairs.
Li Yun turned his head and saw Ye Chen coming alone.
At this time, Ye Chen had recovered from the shock in the morning. Seeing Li Yun's smile, he was not as panicked as before.
He unbuttoned his suit, sat calmly opposite Li Yun, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Brother Li, I ignored Tingting this morning, and she got a little angry. It took some effort to coax her, so I had to make you wait a little longer. To show my apology, I'll treat you to dinner."
"No problem!"
Li Yun looked at him with a smile, and suddenly asked, "How long have you been here?"
Ye Chen was about to say two days, but then he realized it and sighed, "It's been sixteen years..."
Li Yun raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "You are sixteen years old this year?"
Ye Chen shook his head: "No, I'm twenty-one this year."
Li Yun suddenly realized and nodded, "Then you traveled through time when your previous incarnation was five years old..."
Ye Chen was shocked when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Li Yun to tell the truth in public.
He quickly looked around to make sure there was no one around, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother Li, be careful with your words!"
Li Yun smiled, raised his right hand, and showed him the Bagua mirror in his palm: "Don't worry, I have set up a barrier around us. Even if someone is around, they can't hear our conversation."
“…”
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment when he saw this. After he came to his senses, he remembered Li Yun's identity.
The other party is a senior disciple of Quanzhen Sect. In this world with ghosts and Taoism, it is not too surprising that he knows some Taoist magic.
"I see!"
Ye Chen nodded suddenly, secretly envious.
It’s good to be born in the country. You can easily find a Taoist temple to become a disciple.
Unlike him, he had been dating Ren Tingting for half a year and only now had the chance to come back and see Uncle Jiu.
Li Yun smiled and put away the Bagua mirror. This Bagua mirror was just a toy he bought from an antique stall. It had no function in setting up a barrier. The real function was the watch on his wrist.
That was a magic weapon refined by Ye Zixun, which could set up a barrier to isolate sounds and resist attacks.
However, Ye Chen only learned some knowledge from a Feng Shui master overseas and did not acquire any real skills, so he naturally could not tell the truth from the false.
Ye Chen retracted his gaze and sighed, "Since Brother Li is already a senior disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, why bother to get involved in Uncle Jiu's affairs?"
Li Yun raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Why, do you want to drive me away?"
Ye Chen shook his head: "How dare I? But since you, Brother Li, have already become a disciple of Quanzhen, you should know how difficult it is to learn the true Taoism in this world. There are very few masters like Uncle Jiu who are easy to become disciples of. I have wasted 16 years in England and I must not waste any more. So no matter what happens next, I must become Uncle Jiu's disciple!"
Well, my determination to pursue the truth is quite firm, but I don’t know if I will go astray…
Li Yun looked at him with interest, and suddenly changed the subject: "You were transported through time, and your family didn't find out, right?"
Ye Chen was stunned, as if he didn't expect Li Yun to suddenly ask such a question.
After a little hesitation, Ye Chen shook his head and said, "No, my previous life drowned when I was five years old. My family found a Chinese Taoist priest to summon my soul, but he failed to summon my previous life's soul. Instead, I was able to occupy his place and revive my soul..."
Li Yun asked curiously, "What about the soul of the previous incarnation?"
Ye Chen replied softly: "He died by drowning. His life span has come to an end. He must have gone to hell!"
Hearing Ye Chen's answer, Li Yun nodded thoughtfully.
Before entering this world, he had already received a warning from Boss Lin, telling him not to mess around in this world.
According to Boss Lin, the underworld does exist in this world, but the underworld is not in this world.
To put it simply, this world is actually a multiverse like the Marvel world, and the underworld belongs to a multiverse force that spans various universes, governing all the heavens and worlds in this multiverse. It is that unique and powerful force.
As for the Heaven, Boss Lin said that he had not encountered it yet, and had only met the Black and White Gods who came to the human world to collect souls.
It is said that the Black and White Impermanence were very friendly and, on behalf of the King of Fengdu, enthusiastically invited Boss Lin to visit the underworld, but Boss Lin was busy, so he politely declined and left this world to continue exploring the location of his hometown.
From then on, Lin Zhongtian opened this world to the alliance members, with a warning not to mess around.
Of course, this sentence can also be heard in reverse. As long as the members of the alliance do not mess around, they can walk in this world with integrity.
Moreover, Boss Lin's act of opening the world to alliance members is a silent guarantee.
It was because of Boss Lin's guarantee that Li Yun dared to enter this world openly and look for possible time travelers.
I have a mine at home, so I don't have to worry.
Li Yun has Lin Zhongtian and the Alliance as his backers, so even if he is really illegally reincarnated into this world, he will not be afraid of the underworld.
But Ye Chen was different. When he first traveled through time, he was always worried that the soul of his previous life would snatch this body from him.
Later, after learning some knowledge and understanding that birth, aging, sickness and death are all predestined, Ye Chen knew that the soul of his previous life had probably already been reincarnated into the underworld. But then he began to worry that he had been reincarnated illegally and whether he would be discovered by the underworld.
It was for this reason that he was eager to learn Taoism and cultivate immortality, so as to find himself a reputable master to support him.
After figuring this out, Li Yun understood Ye Chen's urgency.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here to meet Uncle Jiu on behalf of my master. I have no intention of betraying my master. Besides, since you and I are both time travelers from the future, we should help each other. How about this? I will help you to become Uncle Jiu's master, but after you become his master, you have to pass on some of the Maoshan Taoist techniques to me!"
"this……"
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "Brother Li, this is a serious matter. Let me go back and think about it for a few days."
Li Yun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you seven days. After seven days, I want a clear answer."
Ye Chen frowned, thought for a long time, and nodded solemnly.
Looking at Ye Chen's departing back, Li Yun picked up the teacup with an interested expression on his face.
He was very curious, what choice would this guy make?
Li Yun hopes that he can make a serious choice, because this not only involves whether he can worship Uncle Jiu as his master, but also whether he can join the Time Travelers Alliance.
…
…
The three days passed quickly, and when the auspicious day for lifting the coffin and reburying the deceased arrived, everyone inside and outside the funeral home was busy.
At noon, Uncle Jiu brought Li Yun and two apprentices, leading a group of carriages and horses to Renjiazhuang, to meet up with Master Ren, who had been bathing and fasting for three days. The two caravans formed a long dragon and drove towards the grave of Old Master Ren.
On the way, Li Yun accepted Wencai Qiu Sheng's courtesy while glancing at Master Ren's motorcade.
Just like in the movie, Mr. Ren’s nephew, security captain Awei, was also traveling in the convoy.
It’s just that in the movie, he has been pestering his cousin Ren Tingting, and is obviously very interested in orthopedics. But in this world, the cousin he has been thinking about has already been won over by Ye Chen, and they are already married and even engaged.
As his childhood sweetheart was not as good as his lover's, Awei was completely hopeless and kept muttering something.
But there was no way. Whether in terms of academic qualifications, background or appearance, Awei could not compare to this top student from Cambridge University who had returned home. The strong inferiority complex and jealousy made him dare not turn around to look at his cousin and brother-in-law.
In comparison, Ye Chen and Ren Tingting are much sweeter.
Although exhuming the coffin and reburying it is a funeral event, Old Master Ren has been dead for more than 20 years after all. Even for his own son and granddaughter, the grief they should have has long since faded, and all that remains is a little melancholy and superficial effort.
When Li Yun turned around, Ye Chen was holding Ren Tingting, and the two were whispering something.
Li Yun eavesdropped and found that they were just some private conversations between lovers.
Judging from Ye Chen's emotional fluctuations, he hooked up with Ren Tingting not only to get close to Uncle Jiu, but also had some sincere intentions.
Li Yun nodded secretly and followed the team to the grave of Old Master Ren.
When the convoy stopped, Uncle Jiu put on a yellow Taoist robe and ordered the accompanying workers to move down various props. Then he and Wencai Qiu Sheng built an altar in front of the tombstone.
At the time of Shen, everyone burned incense and worshipped one by one.
Li Yun thought that since he was already here, he also went to light a stick of incense.
But the moment he inserted the incense into the incense burner, a gust of wind suddenly blew, instantly blowing the altar table over and turning the incense burner over.
Master Ren and the Ren family members accompanying him were shocked and looked at Uncle Jiu quickly: "What's going on?"
Uncle Jiu was also stunned. Then he counted with his fingers and couldn't help but look at Li Yun who was confused.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai also followed their master's gaze and immediately discovered something unusual about Li Yun -
The incense burner and the altar were clearly blown over by the strong wind in front of him, but Li Yun did not get even a speck of incense ash on him.
This was not because of Li Yun's extraordinary skills, but because the incense ash itself avoided Li Yun...
Uncle Jiu couldn't help swallowing his saliva and greeted Li Yun over with a friendly face.
"Nephew Li!"
"Ah, Uncle Nine, what's wrong?"
"Don't bow anymore...if you keep bowing, Old Master Ren's grave will explode!"
