Is it really that weird?
Li Yun was speechless, but still nodded and agreed.
In his opinion, this should be the relationship between the alliance behind him or Boss Lin.
He alone shouldn't have reached this point...
Seeing Li Yun nod, Uncle Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but lean close to Li Yun's ear and whispered, "Nephew Li, tell Uncle Jiu, who were your ancestors to have such a big face?"
"I said I don't know either. Do you believe me?"
Li Yun spread his hands, looking innocent.
Uncle Jiu glanced at him suspiciously, but did not ask any more questions. He just came to the frightened Master Ren and explained a few words in a low voice.
After hearing Uncle Jiu's explanation, Master Ren breathed a sigh of relief. While comforting everyone in the Ren family and asking them not to panic, he secretly glanced at Li Yun's figure out of the corner of his eye, feeling confused and uncertain.
After the incense burner was rearranged, everyone stepped forward one by one and went through the process of burning incense and worshiping again.
This time, Li Yun did not get involved, but just stood quietly by and watched.
His main target of observation must be Ye Chen, wanting to see if anything unusual would occur when he burned incense.
But perhaps it was because Ye Chen had not yet joined the alliance, or perhaps it was because he and Ren Tingting were already engaged. In short, there was nothing unusual about Ye Chen's worship, and no strange wind blew like Li Yun's did.
After the worship was over, Master Ren took the lead in scattering paper money, and the workers waiting around began to break ground.
During this time, Uncle Jiu walked around Old Master Ren's grave, frowning and looking a little doubtful.
Mr. Ren had been frightened once by the scene just now. Seeing Uncle Jiu like this, he hurried forward to ask.
"Uncle Jiu, is there something wrong?"
"Something is wrong."
Uncle Jiu sighed and frowned, "But to what extent it is wrong, we have to wait until Old Master Ren's coffin is unearthed to find out!"
Master Ren swallowed his saliva and cautiously asked, "How about we stop for a while and choose another auspicious day?"
Uncle Jiu glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "They have already started digging the ground and starting the coffin. It is not a good sign to stop the work now... And, if I am not mistaken, the land your father is using is not an ordinary tomb!"
Hearing this, Master Ren nodded quickly: "That's right, Uncle Jiu has a good eye. The Feng Shui master said that if this grave is buried well, it will be prosperous if buried at the hour of Yin and the hour of Mao, and wealth and population will prosper..."
"That's right!" Uncle Jiu nodded and sighed, "Your father was buried in a strange grave, called Dragonfly Touching Water. You can't bury it in a normal way in this grave, you have to bury it in a proper way."
Qiu Sheng asked appropriately, "What is a legal burial?"
Uncle Jiu said softly, "It means putting the coffin vertically into the tomb, but this is not the point I want to make. The point is to touch the water like a dragonfly, one point at a time, and never touch the same place - Master Ren, from the beginning of the construction, this hole has been useless and can no longer be used."
"this……"
Master Ren hesitated and whispered, "But didn't your disciple say that we can't trust everything a Feng Shui master says? Back then, the Feng Shui master said that if the dragonfly is buried well, our descendants will be prosperous. But in the past ten years, our Ren family's business has become more and more difficult, and our family has become increasingly small. I have tried many wives but none of them, and I only have one daughter, Tingting..."
"That's because it wasn't buried well!"
Wencai is outspoken and speaks directly from his heart.
Uncle Jiu glared at him, then hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, but did your father have any grudges with that Feng Shui master?"
"This..." Master Ren hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and whispered, "This cemetery originally belonged to that Feng Shui master. After my father found out, he spent a lot of money to buy it from the Feng Shui master."
Uncle Jiu said calmly: "It's just inducement, no coercion?"
Mr. Ren looked embarrassed, obviously knowing that his father had used some intimidating tactics.
Uncle Jiu snorted coldly, kicked away a stone that splashed over, and said lightly: "As the saying goes, a dragonfly touches the water. Without water, what you touch will come out. If you are buried in this grave, the head of the coffin must be at least one foot above the ground to withstand wind and rain. Only in this way can the dragonfly touch the water. But look at Old Master Ren's grave, it is all sealed with cement and lime, and a good grave has long become a useless grave!"
After hearing Uncle Jiu's explanation, Mr. Ren recalled it carefully and couldn't help but sigh.
Uncle Jiu said calmly, "Fortunately, the Feng Shui master still had some conscience and told you to move your coffin after 20 years. He would harm you for half your life instead of your whole life, and harm you for one generation instead of your eighteen generations..."
Seeing that Mr. Ren's face was gradually becoming filled with shame and anger, Uncle Jiu appropriately stopped his ridicule.
Although he looked down on the rich and unkind Old Master Ren, he had taken the money after all this time, so it would be inappropriate to ridicule the client too much. It would be better for him to do the job at hand well first.
"rise!!"
With a loud shout from the gravedigger, everyone worked together to pull out the vertical coffin tied with ropes.
The coffin was officially unearthed, and the next step was the most critical step of opening the coffin.
Uncle Jiu had already obtained Old Master Ren's birth date and horoscope, and he immediately spoke in a deep voice, asking those who were born in the year of the Rooster or the Ox to turn around and leave. He then asked everyone to tidy up their clothes to show that the dead were the most important.
After completing this process, Uncle Jiu ordered the coroner to remove the nails and open the coffin.
At this moment, something strange happened suddenly and a group of black crows were startled in the forest.
Seeing this scene, the coroner who opened the coffin was startled and couldn't help but look at Uncle Jiu.
Ye Chen, who had known the plot for a long time, was also nervous. He couldn't help but hold Ren Tingting's hand tightly and took her a few steps towards Li Yun.
For some reason, he always felt that he was safer with Li Yun than with Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu glanced at the flock of crows above the forest, his expression unchanged. He just gently waved the sleeve of his Taoist robe, signaling them to continue working.
Seeing Uncle Jiu so calm, the coroners felt more reassured and continued to open the coffin.
After the coffin lid was removed, Uncle Jiu looked at Master Ren and said, "Okay, you can go up and meet Old Master Ren."
Mr. Ren swallowed his saliva, walked forward quickly, looked into the coffin, and immediately let out a cry of surprise.
He originally thought that his old father had been buried in the ground for more than ten years and his bones should have turned into ashes long ago. However, in the coffin in front of him, the body of Old Master Ren was still lying there, his face was pale, his brows were slightly furrowed, his skin and flesh were shriveled, and they swelled slightly when exposed to the wind.
Uncle Jiu frowned, thinking something was wrong. He then took a closer look at Old Master Ren's fingers and found that his ten fingers exposed outside his sleeves were slightly straightened, but his nails did not grow longer, just like those of ordinary people.
...Fortunately, he didn’t completely turn into a zombie!
Uncle Jiu felt relieved.
Mr. Ren next to him was also shocked. He cried out and knelt on the ground.
"Dad, I am being unfilial by disturbing you like this!"
After kowtowed three times, Master Ren turned around and glared at Ren Tingting, A Wei and the others: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you kneel down?"
Ren Tingting quickly knelt on the ground, and Awei and the other members of the Ren family who were standing beside her also kowtowed to Old Master Ren.
Seeing this, although Ye Chen didn't really want to kneel down to this unkind rich bastard, but considering that the other party was his fiancée's grandfather, he sighed in his heart and knelt down beside Tingting.
At this moment, a wisp of barely visible green smoke suddenly emerged from the mouth and nose of the corpse in the coffin.
Master Ren and others who were kowtowing did not notice it, but Uncle Jiu saw it clearly.
He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Ye Chen, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
After he finished bowing, Master Ren stood up and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Jiu, how could this happen?!"
Uncle Jiu said calmly, "It is sealed like this, and the coffin is made of top-quality material. Your father's body will certainly not dissolve easily."
Master Ren asked in a low voice again: "What should we do now?"
Uncle Jiu pondered and said, "I suggest that we cremate him directly."
Upon hearing this, Master Ren's eyes widened and he shook his head repeatedly, "No, my father was most afraid of fire when he was alive. As a son, how can I bear to see him suffer after his death? It's better to bury him. Although the Ren family has fallen into poverty, we are not so poor that we can't even afford to buy a piece of mountain land. I just need to trouble Uncle Jiu to find me a piece of good Feng Shui land..."
Seeing that Mr. Ren insisted on doing so, Uncle Jiu didn't know what to say and could only agree to store Old Master Ren's coffin in the charity cemetery first, and then find a good piece of mountain land to bury it again early tomorrow morning.
Li Yun watched with great interest from the side.
He already knew the plot and was worried that if he got too close the corpse would spontaneously combust in broad daylight, so he followed Uncle Jiu's instructions and stayed seven steps away from the coffin without getting any closer.
Afterwards, Uncle Jiu asked Master Ren and his group to carry the coffin to the charity cemetery first, and he stayed with the team to prevent any accidents. Then he ordered his two apprentices Wencai and Qiu Sheng to stay at the grave, burn a plum blossom incense array, and see what the situation was.
As for Li Yun, Uncle Jiu was afraid that he would get too close and burn the corpse that was about to turn into a zombie, so he asked him to act together with his two apprentices.
Looking at Wencai and Qiusheng who were burning incense at the graves one by one, Ye Chen, who was standing next to Li Yun, couldn't help but whispered: "Brother Li..."
"Um?"
Li Yun raised his eyebrows when he heard this and turned to look at Ye Chen.
I don’t know what tricks this guy used, but he actually left the convoy halfway and came back here.
Ye Chen whispered: "You and I both know that Ren Weiyong will turn into a zombie. The charity cemetery is not safe tonight. Why don't you move to the hotel where I'm staying and avoid this dangerous night..."
Li Yun smiled and said, "Are you worried that I will die at the hands of zombies?"
Ye Chen nodded and said seriously: "Of course, although we have only known each other for three days, you are the only one in this world who can understand me. If you die, wouldn't I be very lonely?"
Hearing Ye Chen's words that didn't seem false, Li Yun couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing, he suddenly asked, "Do you have an answer to my previous question?"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to Wencai and Qiu Sheng.
Li Yun raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with interest: "Don't worry, just speak frankly, I have set up a barrier, they can't hear it."
After getting Li Yun's assurance, Ye Chen said, "Brother Li, I have thought it through. The relationship between you and me is more unique than any other relationship in this world. We are natural allies of interests. As long as we still care about our hometown in our previous life, even if you and I are hostile in the future, we will never really hurt each other's life - at least that's what I think."
"So, I am willing to teach you the Maoshan Taoism after we become your disciples, but at the same time, you also have to teach me the Quanzhen Taoism. We can share what we have with each other, and only then can this alliance last..."
