As night fell, the mortuary became gloomy. After all, it was a place for dead bodies. There were so many coffins placed there, and Old Master Ren's coffin was placed in the hall. There were offerings on the table, as well as incense and candles.
" People are most afraid of three long and two short incense sticks, and incense sticks are most afraid of two short and one long." Ninth Uncle sat at a table and looked at the three incense sticks that Wen Cai had brought back under the light."It just has to be burned like this. It's a life-threatening incense. If this incense is used in the family, there will definitely be people dying.”
"Is it Master Ren's house?" Qiu Sheng asked hurriedly.”
"Could it be here?" Ninth Uncle replied unkindly.
Wen Cai, who was secretly eating the roasted meat, replied,""If it's not related to me, I won't worry."
"Will Master Ren's daughter be affected?" Qiu Sheng asked honestly.”
Wen Cai quickly answered," In short, Ren is in trouble." Then he remembered Ren Tingting and quickly went to ask Ninth Uncle for help.
" Hey, it's none of your business. You don't have to worry about it," Qiu Sheng said as he pulled Wen Cai back.
" You can't say that," Wen Cai immediately retorted." If you can save the life of your sweetheart, getting married won't be a problem."”
" Are the two of you done?" Ling Xiao held his forehead with his hand. He had really been defeated by these two clowns.
" Fair competition," Qiu Sheng said, unwilling to give up.
" Master, hurry up and think of a way," Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng immediately ran to Ninth Uncle and said.
" I've already thought about it. Otherwise, why would I bring the coffin back?" Ninth Uncle said unhappily.
"Is there something wrong with this coffin?”Wen Cai asked curiously.
" There's nothing wrong with the coffin," Uncle Nine sighed and said." What's wrong is the corpse in the coffin."”
Wen Cai scratched his head.”
"That's right! " It's been buried for more than 20 years, but it's still alive and hasn't rotted," Qiu Sheng said straightforwardly." Are you going to become a zombie?"”
Ninth Uncle said," That's why we should let nature take its course. Don't force it. A good piece of blessed land is wasted just like that."”
Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng looked at Ninth Uncle and walked over to lift the coffin lid. Then, they shouted,""Look, the corpse seems to have gained weight.”
Ninth Uncle and Ling Xiao's expressions changed. They strode forward and stuck their heads out to take a look. The skin of the corpse had indeed become more voluptuous, and there was a layer of luster. The nails on all ten fingers had grown three inches longer, and the guilt in his brows deepened." Move the coffin lid back, quickly!”
" Prepare paper, brush, ink, sword, and sword," Ninth Uncle instructed Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng after a moment of contemplation.
"What?" Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng asked in unison.
" Yellow paper, red pen, black ink, kitchen knife, wooden sword." Ling Xiao rolled his eyes at Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai. He thought to himself that these two really had pig brains. They had followed Ninth Uncle for so many years in vain.
Ninth Uncle looked at Ling Xiao, then at Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng behind him. He shook his head and sighed for no reason.
Soon, all the items were prepared. After Ninth Uncle arranged them for a while, he brought the rooster to Wen Cai." Take it!"”
Ninth Uncle picked up the sharp knife on the table and cut off the chicken's neck with a backhand slash. He suddenly shouted,"Bowl!"
Wen Cai immediately went up with a big bowl, and the chicken blood instantly flowed into the bowl.
"Master, why did you use rooster blood?”Wen Cai asked curiously.
" This is because the rooster crows to the sun that emits the first ray of sunlight every day, so it absorbs more Yang qi. The blood also contains rich Yang qi, which is the best for exorcism," Ninth Uncle explained.
As Ninth Uncle spoke, his hands did not stop moving. After a while, the rooster's blood mixed with the black liquid was filled into a bowl.
"Mo Dou!"
Ninth Uncle shouted loudly. Wen Cai immediately brought the ink fountain that he had prepared in front of Ninth Uncle. Ninth Uncle poured the mixture of ink and chicken blood into the ink fountain without saying anything.
"Master, where is the bullet?" Qiu Sheng asked curiously.
"Bounce on the coffin, the entire coffin!”Ninth Uncle handed the ink fountain to Qiu Sheng. After he and Wen Cai picked up the ink fountain and flicked it on Old Master Ren's coffin, they lit the incense and said," People are divided into good people and bad people. Corpses are divided into zombies and corpses. Old Master Ren's corpse is a corpse that is about to become a zombie."”
"How did Shi become a zombie?" Qiu Sheng asked.
" Yeah," Wen Cai also said," How can people become bad people?”
" A person becomes a bad person because he doesn't live up to his expectations. A corpse becomes a zombie because he has an extra breath," Uncle Nine explained." Before a person dies, they will be angry, hold their breath, and sulk. After they die, there will be a breath accumulated in their throat.”
" That's why it's important to live up to expectations. If you die, you should stop breathing. If you don't stop breathing, you're harming yourself and others," Qiu Sheng immediately said a life motto. Even Ling Xiao could not help but give him a thumbs up in his heart, thinking to himself,'Brilliant!'
Ling Xiao had no intention of participating in the rest of the plot. He had no intention of changing the plot. In any case, according to the plot, Ren Tingting's life would not be in danger. As for Ren Fa, he had brought this upon himself, so let him be.
As expected, nothing good would come out of Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai's company. What was even more unfortunate was that Qiu Sheng had used his broom to knock Ninth Uncle's head. As a result, Qiu Sheng did not dare to stay in the mortuary anymore. He rode his bicycle back to his aunt's house in town that very night. Ling Xiao glanced at Qiu Sheng who had left in a hurry and did not say anything to stop him. Anyway, he had already taken in the female ghost Xiao Yu in advance, so there should not be any danger.
Qiu Sheng lost his father at the age of three and his mother at the age of seven. He was a pitiful person. Fortunately, his aunt had painstakingly raised him. If he had not taken in the female ghost Xiao Yu in advance, Ling Xiao would definitely not have let Qiu Sheng leave the mortuary now.
Ling Xiao was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, Ninth Uncle asked him to stay. Needless to say, he still had something to discuss with Ling Xiao. It seemed that he would have to stay in the mortuary tonight. Fortunately, Ling Xiao did not mind.
"I wonder if this method will work?”Ninth Uncle sighed and said to Ling Xiao," Ling Xiao, do you have a better idea?”
Ling Xiao shook his head when he heard that. He had never seen what a zombie looked like before, so how could he have handled a corpse and turned it into a zombie?
"Master, what kind of existence are zombies?”Ling Xiao asked.
Ninth Uncle pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice,"The so-called zombies are born from the resentment of the heavens and earth. Unaging, undying, and indestructible, he was abandoned by the three realms of heaven, earth, and man outside of the six paths of sentient beings. He was a wanderer with no one to rely on and was homeless. Their bodies were stiff, and they used resentment as their power in the human world. They fed on blood, and used the blood of all living beings to vent their endless loneliness. In short, zombies were corpses that became spirits. They were invulnerable and had endless strength. They could also suck human blood. After being bitten, people would also become zombies.”
" Master, don't worry about these things. I brought you something good tonight," Ling Xiao said,""Wencai, take out what I gave you.”
Very soon, Wen Cai came in with many bags of things. They were the food and drinks that Ling Xiao had prepared in town before he returned to the mortuary.
" Master, thank you for taking me in in the middle of the night and even taking me under your wing. Today, I've specially prepared some food and wine to express my gratitude," Ling Xiao and Wen Cai said as they cleaned up the food and wine on the table.
" We're all family in the future. Don't say such things," Ninth Uncle said, but his eyes kept sweeping across the dishes on the table, especially the bottle of wine that had been opened. The fragrance of the wine immediately assailed his nose, and Ninth Uncle's Liquor worm was instantly attracted. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty!
Ling Xiao knew that Ninth Uncle liked to drink, so he quickly filled his glass and said,""Master, cheers to you! Cheers!"
Ninth Uncle drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and said happily,"Good wine!"
Ling Xiao quickly filled Ninth Uncle's cup again, but he thought to himself,""This is undoubtedly good wine. This is the genuine royal banquet wine!”
The three of them drank until the sky turned dark. Very soon, the large jar of wine that Ling Xiao had brought was emptied.
Wen Cai's alcohol tolerance was extremely poor. He drank until he climbed onto the table and fell asleep early in the morning. After drinking a jar of wine, Ninth Uncle was almost unconscious.
Ling Xiao quickly helped Ninth Uncle up and walked him to his room. He carefully placed Ninth Uncle on the bed.
" Uncle Nine," Ling Xiao called out softly. Uncle Nine opened his eyes in a daze, but fell asleep again in the blink of an eye.
After sending Wen Cai back to his room, Ling Xiao cleaned up the leftovers in the living room before leaving the mortuary.
After leaving the mortuary, Ling Xiao walked towards Ren Town. On the way to the town, there were some mountains and forests. The thick fog that pervaded the air under the moonlight appeared especially blue, and it seemed to have a sinister feeling.
Halfway there, they met Qiu Sheng, who had left the mortuary a long time ago. He was carrying a white-bearded old man on his back. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely and panting heavily. He kept spinning on the spot. As for Qiu Sheng's bicycle, it was unknown where he had thrown it.
" Something's not right." Ling Xiao immediately realized that something was not right. He thought of the scene when he had transmigrated and could not help but exclaim in his heart," Ghost hitting the wall!"”
Upon closer inspection, Qiu Sheng was carrying an old man on his back. The old man looked thin and had his hands on Qiu Sheng's neck as he stretched his head forward.
" I didn't expect Qiu Sheng to encounter another old ghost without the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu." Ling Xiao sighed inwardly and immediately took out the Ghost Concealing Gourd to summon the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu.
" Young Master, what can I do for you?" Xiao Yu asked Ling Xiao respectfully.
"Do you see the young man in front and the old ghost on his back?”Ling Xiao pointed at Qiu Sheng in front of him and said," That young man is called Qiu Sheng. He's my senior brother. Go and chase that old ghost away."”
"Young Master, there might be some trouble?”Xiao Yu was a little embarrassed as she said," It's not a problem to chase that old ghost away, but your friend is in trouble."”
"What happened?" Ling Xiao asked curiously," Is that old ghost very powerful?”
" Young Master, you may not know this. As the saying goes, old men are wise, and old ghosts become spirits," Xiaoyu said slowly." That old ghost is not very powerful, but he is undoubtedly a wise old ghost. He is very cunning. If you are not careful, not only will he escape, but that Qiu Sheng will also never have peace in the future."”
"What do you mean?" Ling Xiao asked.
" It means that if that old ghost escapes, he will continue to pester Qiusheng," Xiao Yu explained.
" I see," Ling Xiao said,""Forget it, I'll go and finish off that old ghost.”
" Wait a minute, Young Master, look," Xiao Yu suddenly said to Ling Xiao.
A stone altar appeared by the roadside in front of Qiu Sheng. It was worshiping a local god. Qiu Sheng was lucky. He was so tired that he accidentally fell to the ground and pounced on the stone altar.
It was too late for the old ghost to realize that something was wrong. A ray of light came out from the stone altar of the Earth Master and passed through Qiu Sheng's body to attack him. The old ghost was immediately jolted up as if he had been electrocuted. He flew several feet away and fell to the ground.
" How interesting. I didn't expect there to be a god in this zombie world." Ling Xiao sighed to himself, even though he was just an Earth God with no status.
However, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat, let alone treating a bean bun as dry food. No matter what, this Earth God was still a god.
The Earth God was also known as the Earth Lord or Earth God. He had a low status in the Taoist system, but it was very common among the people in the Heavenly Dynasty. He was an immortal who was in charge of a piece of land and lived underground. He was the lowest level among the immortals.
As the saying goes," Don't treat the Earth Lord as an immortal."
Qiu Sheng got the chance and immediately shook off Old Ghost and ran forward.
Seeing that the old ghost was still trying to chase after Qiu Sheng, who had run away, just as Xiao Yu had said, Ling Xiao immediately sped up and ran in front of the old ghost, blocking his path.
" Another young man, not bad," Old Ghost said sinisterly, making people's hair stand on end."That kid is lucky. He ran away, so what? As long as it's a young man carrying me, it's fine. I'm old and can't walk anymore, so I want a young man to carry me.”
"Noisy!" Ling Xiao did the same thing. He activated the Ghost Concealing Gourd and sucked the old ghost in. In just a moment, the old ghost was suppressed obediently in the gourd.?
After dealing with the old ghost, Ling Xiao received another sum of merit. He glanced at the stone altar that was worshiping the local god and thought to himself,""Is this the Earth Lord who mocked the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu in Mr. Zombie?”
Ling Xiao was puzzled. He remembered that when he was watching television, the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu was sitting on Qiu Sheng's bicycle. She was accidentally hit by a tree fork and fell right in front of the stone altar of an Earth God, causing the Earth God in the stone altar to laugh at her.
