After Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng finished playing the ink fountain, they ran over happily. Zhou Yuan stood behind Ninth Uncle and watched Qiu Sheng hit Ninth Uncle's head with the broom, breaking the broom handle.
"Suck." Zhou Yuan couldn't help but gasp. How much did Ninth Uncle owe you?
"Wow, you…You…" Ninth Uncle lowered his head. He felt dizzy and could not speak clearly.
Qiu Sheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He threw the wooden stick in his hand to Wen Cai and turned to run.
Wen Cai also ran out. Zhou Yuan shook his head and helped Ninth Uncle back to his room. He also took a bottle of medicinal wine for him.
"Amitabha." Looking at Ninth Uncle rubbing the medicinal wine gloomily, Zhou Yuan's mouth twitched. He chanted a Buddhist chant, but fortunately, he did not laugh.
"Ninth Uncle, I'll go back and rest first.”Zhou Yuan said.
"Alright." Ninth Uncle nodded.
The night was dark, with only a crescent moon hanging high in the dark sky. Even though it was filled with bright stars, it was dim, as if a faint ink color was smeared on the horizon.
Other than the occasional rustling of leaves in the wind, the entire mortuary was silent.
After opening the coffin in the morning, the corpse had already come into contact with Yang qi and began to morph. At night, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai opened the coffin again, which further accelerated the recovery of his corpse.
Grandpa Ren, who had turned into a zombie, slowly lifted the lid of the coffin and reached out his hand from the edge. He wanted to push the coffin open, but when his hand touched the ink thread on the coffin, he was injured by the red light formed by the Yang qi on the ink thread. Sparks flew and crackled.
The zombie quickly retreated into the coffin in pain.
"Bang." The lid of the coffin pressed heavily against the coffin.
Zhou Yuan and Lin Jiu opened their eyes and quickly got up to leave. Lin Jiu went to the morgue for an inspection while Zhou Yuan went straight to the coffin of the Ren family's grandfather.
After careful inspection, he confirmed that the coffin was not damaged, but there was indeed no ink thread at the bottom.
Footsteps came from behind him. Zhou Yuan turned around and saw Ninth Uncle holding a kerosene lamp.
"How is it?" Ninth Uncle asked when he saw Zhou Yuan.
"I'm fine." Zhou Yuan shook his head and said," It's just that the ink fountain at the bottom of the coffin is not sealed.”
"Brat, you're always lacking when you're working.”Ninth Uncle cursed.
"Pa." Suddenly, there was a sound from the side. The two of them rushed over and found that it was Wen Cai who had accidentally kicked something down.
"Sigh, sleeping like a dead pig. People like you are the most suitable to watch the funeral home.”Ninth Uncle shook his head and helped Wencai cover himself with the blanket.
Although he said that he despised his two disciples, Ninth Uncle was really good to them.
"Little Yuan, go back and rest." Ninth Uncle said.
Zhou Yuan nodded.
The next day, Ninth Uncle went out early in the morning to search for a good tomb.
Zhou Yuan practiced the Calming Heart Mantra as usual and practiced the Arhat Fist over and over again. In the morning, the merit points required for the Arhat Fist decreased by 1000 points.
Sure enough, as long as he was willing to work hard, there would be a day when he would succeed no matter how difficult it was. After gulping down a mouthful of chicken soup, Zhou Yuan was satisfied and went to get some water to wash the sweat off his body.
Ninth Uncle returned at noon. Although he looked tired, there was a hint of joy in his eyes. It seemed that he had gained something in the morning.
In the afternoon, Ninth Uncle brought Zhou Yuan, Wen Cai, and Qiu Sheng to Ren Manor.
The Ren family's mansion was located in the most prosperous area in the center of the town and occupied a large area. The door was a western-style iron gate with exquisite carvings on it. There were two lifelike stone lions standing on the left and right sides of the door. The carvings were very realistic and had a heavy feeling of history.
The Ren family was a big family. During the Qing Dynasty, their ancestors were high officials in the court, and the Ren family's business spread across several provinces.
After the high officials died, although the Ren family was in dire straits, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The richest people in the nearby towns, including Ren Town, were all surnamed Ren!
Ninth Uncle, Zhou Yuan, Wen Cai, and Qiu Sheng came to the Ren family's door. Ninth Uncle signaled Wen Cai to knock on the door.
Two servants of the Ren family walked out from the door. When they saw Ninth Uncle, Zhou Yuan, and the other three, one of them stayed behind to lead the way while the other hurriedly ran into the courtyard to report to Old Master Ren.
Under the guidance of the servants, everyone arrived at the entrance of the Ren family's living room.
Upon hearing the servant's report, Old Master Ren, who was drinking tea with Ah Wei, quickly stood up to welcome him.
"Ninth Uncle, Master Zhou Yuan." Ren Fa, who had seen Zhou Yuan recite the scriptures, did not dare to be negligent.
Ren Tingting, who was arranging flowers at the side, saw Zhou Yuan and smiled as she walked over.
"Ninth Uncle, I wonder how my late father's burial is going?”
After everyone exchanged greetings, Old Master Ren asked Ninth Uncle and Zhou Yuan.
"Finally, I didn't let you down. I've already chosen a cemetery.”Ninth Uncle hurriedly replied.
"Let's talk in the study."
Old Master Ren gestured with his right hand and invited Ninth Uncle upstairs.
"The two of you, behave yourselves!"
Ninth Uncle turned around and reminded his two disciples, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, who were still worried. He was afraid that the two of them would stir up trouble again.
At the same time, he gave Zhou Yuan a look, hinting him to do as he saw fit.
Zhou Yuan ignored Ninth Uncle's gaze.
Ren Tingting walked over to Zhou Yuan and said happily,""Zhou Yuan, you're here."
For some reason, she never addressed Zhou Yuan as Master Zhou Yuan. She only called him by his name.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't get so close.”Ah Wei wanted to walk over and push Zhou Yuan aside.
Zhou Yuan smiled and glanced at Ah Wei. A dark golden light flashed in his eyes.
Ah Wei's body suddenly stiffened, and his expression became very afraid.
Then, his body returned to normal. Ah Wei wiped the cold sweat that had just appeared and left with a flattering smile.
She turned around and saw Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai eating the snacks on the table.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were still fated with Ah Wei, so the three of them started to argue again.
"Amitabha. Long time no see. How has Miss Tingting been recently?!”Zhou Yuan looked at the smiling Ren Tingting and didn't know what to say. After a few random words, he said something.
"Pfft." This sentence made Ren Tingting laugh.
"Zhou Yuan, didn't we just meet yesterday?”Ren Tingting said with a smile.
"Um…" Zhou Yuankuang thought about the joke from his previous life.
"As the ancients say, one day apart is like three years. So, we haven't seen each other for a long time.”Zhou Yuan rubbed his nose and said.
"Is this how you talk to girls?”Ren Tingting blushed and said to Zhou Yuan.
“？？？”Didn't this mean that they hadn't seen each other for a long time? Zhou Yuan, who was a slacker in his previous life, really couldn't understand. He only knew that there was such a saying, but he didn't know that this saying was used to describe couples.
This was the consequence of only knowing one thing and not knowing the other.
"This Penniless Monk has a request that I hope Miss Tingting can agree to.”Zhou Yuan said.
"What is it?" Ren Tingting asked curiously.
"After all, it's not a very auspicious thing to move Old Master Ren's coffin. Therefore, This Penniless Monk plans to stay in the Ren residence for a few days and recite scriptures every day to appease Old Master Ren's soul. I wonder if Miss Tingting agrees?”Zhou Yuan said.
This was already the best excuse he could think of. He couldn't just tell him that the feng shui guy would come for revenge and that Old Master Ren had also become a zombie.
People who had never seen these things would only fly into a rage when they heard others talk about their ancestors like this.
"I agree." When Ren Tingting heard that, she agreed without thinking.
Zhou Yuan smiled. It was done.
