Li Yun listened thoughtfully and said with a smile: "Is this your answer?"

Ye Chen nodded gently: "That's right."

Li Yun asked again: "What if I don't want to teach you the Quanzhen Taoism?"

Ye Chen was firm in his attitude: "Then I will naturally not hand over the Maoshan Taoism to you - at worst I don't need your help, even if it is a little difficult, I will knock on Uncle Jiu's door by myself."

Li Yun smiled and said, "So tough?"

Ye Chen smiled and said softly: "The Taishang Laojun Neiguan Sutra says that if you teach people to cultivate the Tao, you are also cultivating your mind; if you teach people to cultivate their mind, you are also cultivating the Tao. It can be seen that cultivating the Tao is cultivating the mind, and cultivating the mind is cultivating the Tao. Brother Li, as a senior disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, it is impossible for him not to understand this principle."

"So I think that although you have given me a difficult problem on the surface, you are actually teaching me to cultivate my mind."

"Indeed, on the night I received Brother Li's promise, I tossed and turned because of this question and had trouble falling asleep. But later, I gradually got the answer while reading the Taoist scriptures."

“The so-called Tao is obtained through the heart, and the heart is enlightened by the Tao. When the heart is enlightened, the Tao descends, and when the Tao descends, the heart is enlightened. Thousands of scriptures and techniques are all in the heart.”

"If I want to cultivate the Tao, I must first cultivate my mind. Only when my mind is in harmony with the Tao can it be pure and clear. Otherwise, even if I really worship Uncle Jiu as my master, I will definitely not be able to cultivate any positive results. So, Brother Li, don't think of using this method to disturb my Tao mind again. I won't accept it!"

Looking at Ye Chen, who had a smile on his face and all the gloom between his brows disappeared, as if he had suddenly realized something overnight, Li Yun couldn't help but look strange.

This guy, has too much inner drama, doesn't he?

He is not a real Taoist priest, so how could he have so many mysterious ideas?

The previous question was just to see Ye Chen's character and personality...

But then again, Ye Chen at this moment did look much more pleasing to the eye than he did in the previous two days. It was as if he really had an epiphany overnight thanks to the Taoist scriptures and realized his true nature. His words and actions also became natural and no longer so deliberate.

Could it be that this kid really is a potential Taoist?

Li Yun had a strange look on his face and couldn't help looking Ye Chen up and down.

Ye Chen seemed to take this as Li Yun's answer, thinking that he was surprised at his change.

Ye Chen then became serious and said respectfully, "Thanks for your guidance, Brother Li. I will learn from you!"

After saying this, Ye Chen bowed solemnly.

Li Yun twitched the corner of his mouth and was about to speak when Qiu Sheng, who was burning incense on the grave, suddenly exclaimed.

They both looked over and saw Qiu Sheng holding three incense sticks, two short and one long, with a look on his face as if he had seen a ghost.

Wencai also swallowed his saliva when he saw this, and said in a panic: "Master said that the plum blossom incense array is used to predict good and bad luck. It must be a problem if it burns like this. Let's take the incense back to the charity cemetery and let Master take a look!"

Having said that, the two of them quickly stood up and wanted to leave.

Before leaving, Wencai looked at Li Yun and Ye Chen and said loudly: "Brother Li, do you want to go back with us?"

Li Yun smiled and said, "No, Uncle Jiu asked me to go to the rice shop in town to buy some glutinous rice. You guys go back first!"

Qiu Sheng had seen Li Yun's abilities and was not worried that something might happen to him at the cemetery, so he nodded quickly and pulled Wencai to rush towards the charity cemetery.

After the two left, Ye Chen came to a tombstone, looked at the black and white photo of a young girl on the tombstone, frowned, and muttered softly.

"Strange, there should be a female ghost in the plot, why didn't she appear this time?"

"Who knows? Maybe because there are so many of us, this female ghost is shy and doesn't dare to see us..."

Li Yun said perfunctorily, but his dark eyes glanced at the black and white photo on the tombstone.

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this and looked at Li Yun thoughtfully.

Li Yun smiled and said, "I'm going to the rice shop in town, do you want to come with me?"

Ye Chen thought about it and nodded, "Okay, Brother Li is a senior disciple of Quanzhen Sect and has the Dao to protect himself, but I am still a half-baked person who has not yet entered the sect. I just need to buy some glutinous rice for self-defense. Why don't we go together!"

Before leaving, Li Yun picked up the three unburned incense sticks that Qiu Sheng had thrown away and inserted them among the weeds in front of the tombstone.

After the two left, a crack suddenly appeared above the tombstone, and a wisp of light green smoke floated out of it. It solidified in mid-air and turned into a girl in red holding a paper umbrella.

The girl looked at the orange sunset in the sky, then looked at her own soul body which had become extremely solid, and her expression couldn't help but become strange.

At this moment, a green ghost figure suddenly floated out of the grave next to it. It was a girl in white clothes, with black hair draped over her shoulders, a pretty face, black eyes like the starry sky at midnight, and a conspicuous teardrop mole at the corner of her left eye.

Seeing the girl in white appear, the girl in red holding a paper umbrella hurried forward and held the umbrella for the girl in white.

The girl in white glanced at the figure of the girl in red beside her, and then glanced at the three incense sticks inserted in front of the tombstone. She couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, you are so lucky. There are kind-hearted people burning incense at your doorstep for no reason. It's such a nobleman with a great background. It's really a great opportunity that can't be found by chance. I think you may be able to bear the fruit of Tao before us sisters and cultivate into a ghost fairy who lives a carefree life!"

"Sister, what are you talking about..."

The girl in red heard the words of the girl in white and said hurriedly, "If it weren't for my sister who disciplined me from doing evil, I'm afraid these three sticks of incense from the nobleman would have scared me to death... If my sister doesn't mind, I would like to give this nobleman's gift to her!"

The girl in white laughed when she heard this, shook her head, and said softly, "Sister Xiaoyu, you misunderstood. I don't want to take away your opportunity. I just want to ask if you heard the conversation between these two nobles just now."

The female ghost Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Sister Bai really didn't want her incense.

She hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then shook her head, indicating that she had heard some, but not much.

The girl in white didn't mind and told her as much as she could hear.

After listening to the ghost girl Xiaoyu's retelling, the girl in white seemed to be thinking about something.

She waved her hand, and the female ghost in red holding a paper umbrella retreated respectfully, turning into a wisp of green smoke and returning to the tombstone, leaving the girl in white, who was also a female ghost, standing alone in the sunset, staring at the direction where Li Yun and the other man left with a complicated and strange look.

What’s going on…

Is it possible that she is not the only traveler in this world? !

The female ghost in white couldn't help but wonder in her heart.

…

…

"People should avoid three long and two short, while incense should avoid two short and one long."

"Why...why did it burn like this!"

Inside the charity cemetery, Uncle Nine was guarding Old Master Ren's coffin. He looked at the three incense sticks in his hand and sighed repeatedly, "Burning like this is like a death incense. I'm afraid there will be casualties within ten days."

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai looked at each other and couldn't help asking, "Is it that serious?"

Uncle Jiu was preoccupied and ignored the words of his two apprentices. He just walked to the coffin, removed the lid, and took a closer look. He found that the flesh and blood of Old Master Ren's body had become much fuller and had a layer of luster, making him look fresh as if he had just died.

Sure enough, he is about to turn into a zombie!

Uncle Jiu's heart sank and he looked at Old Master Ren's finger again.

Strangely, Old Master Ren's fingers did not turn darker and longer as he expected, but remained normal.

Why is this?

Uncle Jiu thought for a moment and immediately thought of Ye Chen, who had knelt down with Ren Tingting during the day.

Could it be that this person also has a great background, and his good fortune diluted the disaster of the Ren family?

Uncle Jiu was thinking so in his mind, and then he saw the two short and one long death-prompting incense sticks, and couldn't help but shook his head.

As the saying goes, cause and effect, what is meant to come will eventually come.

No matter how lucky Ye Chen is, he can only delay the transformation of Old Master Ren into a corpse, but it is impossible to prevent the arrival of disaster.

Thinking of this, Uncle Jiu moved the coffin lid back, turned around and looked at Wencai Qiusheng and said, "You two, go and catch a rooster!"

Wencai Qiu Sheng quickly agreed, pushed open the door, and ran towards the chicken coop.

When Li Yun returned to the charity cemetery with the newly bought glutinous rice, what he saw was Wencai frantically catching a rooster.

Without hesitation, Li Yun grabbed a rooster flying in the air, looked at Wencai and said with a smile: "How about it, good luck, let's eat chicken tonight?"

Wencai sighed, "It's not about eating chicken, it's about Master wanting to kill the chicken. And it's not about good fortune, it should be about disaster!"

Li Yun raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Qiu Sheng hurried over with chicken feathers all over his body: "Brother Li, be gentle, don't crush it to death, Master wants the blood of a living chicken, not a dead chicken!"

"Don't worry, the rooster is a living creature, not a ghost. I know my limits."

Li Yun smiled and handed the rooster to Qiu Sheng, and then handed a bag of glutinous rice to Wen Cai. He rubbed his hands and said expectantly, "Do you want my help?"

"No, don't!" Uncle Jiu hurriedly walked out of the room and stopped him, "As long as you don't get too close to Old Master Ren, Uncle Jiu will be satisfied."

Li Yun glanced at him and suddenly said, "Uncle Jiu, even I can see that Old Master Ren is abnormal. I don't believe you can't see that Old Master Ren's body is about to turn into a zombie. In order to prevent him from turning into a zombie and harming others, he should be burned on the spot!"

Uncle Jiu sighed and said softly, "I know this truth, but Master Ren insisted on doing it his own way. Even if I knew there was danger, I could only do my best and leave it to fate. Besides..."

Having said this, Uncle Jiu paused, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't say the rest.

He waved his Taoist robe and said softly, "Wencai Qiusheng, take the rooster and follow me into the house."
