"Master, why did he faint again?”Wen Cai could not help but shout.
Ninth Uncle put Meng Daoke down and said," The evil Yin Qi has entered his body. He's fine. He's young and strong. He can withstand it. The main reason is that he has been confined in the coffin for too long and is lacking in oxygen. Wencai, Qiusheng, you two pull the board up. Let's go."”
Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng's faces turned bitter when they heard that.
"What bad luck. Senior Brother, we finally caught the little ghosts, but before we reach home, we already have hard work to do.”Wen Cai could not help but complain.
Qiu Sheng glanced at his master, Ninth Uncle, who was walking in front of him and said in a low voice,""It's all because of you. You insisted on taking this path. Otherwise, how could you encounter such an unlucky thing?”
"Didn't you agree to it back then?" Wen Cai muttered.
The three of them, in a horseless carriage, walked in the night, fearless and frank.
Meng Daoke was in a daze. When he woke up again, he felt a chill run down his spine and he felt dizzy.
He opened his eyes and saw a mosquito net made of gray coarse cloth. He was lying on a bed made of polished straw mats and wooden boards.
"Where is this place? Am I not trapped in a coffin?”Meng Daoke recalled in a daze. Suddenly, he remembered something."Wait, I think I saw Ninth Uncle?”
"Is anyone there?" Meng Daoke struggled to get out of bed.
His voice was weak. No one answered him. He looked at his clothes and saw that no one had touched them.
He got out of bed and looked around. The room was very simple and crude, in the style of the late period of the Republic of China. The portrait of the Three Pure Ancestors was pasted on the wall of the main hall, and on both sides was a couplet in regular script."I pray for blessings with candles and incense, offer flowers, drink water, and repent for eternal life.”
There were flowers, fruits, and vegetables below the portrait, and a thick purple incense stick was inserted in the middle.
There was also a table in the living room with a few dishes on it, covered with a bamboo fly cover.
"Gululu ~"
Meng Daoke's stomach growled. He swallowed his saliva, looked outside, and shouted again,""Is anyone there?"
No one answered him, so he didn't care anymore. He directly opened the anti-fly cover. There were a few steamed buns and some roasted chicken inside.
Meng Daoke wolfed down the food.
After finishing the dishes on the table, his body finally recovered a lot. At this time, he heard voices coming from the front hall.
"Master, we don't have enough money to spend this month again. If this continues, we won't be able to lift the pot.”
"Yeah, Master, why don't we ask for more money when we go out to catch ghosts and zombies?”
"Shut up, Wencai. We are cultivators and we earn merit and karma. If you take other people's money, it's not merit!”
"Oh."
The voice was getting closer and closer. When the last sentence was spoken, three figures had already passed through the front hall and appeared in the courtyard!
"Hey, hey, hey, you're awake?”Wen Cai saw Meng Daoke sitting at the table and shouted hurriedly.
Qiu Sheng saw the leftovers on the table and immediately wailed,""Ah, my roast chicken!"
Qiu Sheng rushed over and saw only some chicken bones and steamed bun crumbs on the table.
Meng Daoke blushed and said hurriedly,""I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm really too hungry.”
"Even if you're hungry, you can't eat our-"
"Qiusheng!"
Qiu Sheng was about to retort Meng Daoke, but Ninth Uncle stopped him in a low voice. Qiu Sheng immediately shut his mouth. Ninth Uncle's dignity could not be violated.
"Young man, what is your name? Where do you live? Why was he trapped in a coffin by a zombie?”Ninth Uncle sat beside the table and asked Meng Daoke in a deep voice.
Wen Cai hurriedly poured tea for Ninth Uncle and grabbed the remaining roasted chicken on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.
Qiu Sheng immediately went forward to snatch it as well. The two of them kept playing tricks. Ninth Uncle frowned and ignored them.
Meng Daoke thought quickly and immediately thought of an excuse.""Taoist priest, my name is Meng Daoke. I just came back from studying abroad. I met a bridal escort team made of paper figurines on the way. I had nowhere to hide, so I ran into the coffin. I don't know how I got trapped in the coffin.”
His words were half true and half false. Actually, the main reason was that he was dressed like a modern person. It was hard to say where he came from, so he might as well say that he had returned from studying abroad.
Ninth Uncle was interested in Meng Daoke. Where did he come from? This was a rare thing.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai also stopped and looked at the big guy who looked smaller than them in surprise.
"Are your parents still alive? Why are you here?" Ninth Uncle asked.
"Not anymore. When I came back, I encountered a storm and the ship sank. I followed a group of foreigners here and got separated.”Meng Daoke said casually.
"Oh? What are your plans now?”Ninth Uncle took a sip of tea and asked.
"Taoist priest, it's chaotic and I don't dare to walk around outside. Can I ask you something? Did I encounter something dirty before?”Meng Daoke asked tentatively.
Ninth Uncle nodded.”
Meng Daoke immediately looked frightened.""Taoist priest, I don't want to go anywhere. Can I stay here with you? I can work, I can cook, I can clean, I can do anything. Those things are too scary.”
Ninth Uncle was stunned. He did not expect the young man to say that and frowned.
Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng looked at each other and gave each other a look. Qiu Sheng immediately said,""Master, didn't you say that you wanted to find a last disciple? I think Little Meng is a good person. He's tall and big, and he must be good at working.”
"That's right, Master. Little Meng studied abroad before, so he's also an intellectual. With him in our mortuary, there's a lot of decent things that can be done.”
Meng Daoke was very excited. Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng were really awesome. This attack was perfect. Without a word, he knelt down in front of Ninth Uncle and said loudly,""Taoist priest, please take me as your disciple!”
