Night, mortuary!
Wen Cai had already fallen asleep, but he did not sleep in the morgue today.
Ninth Uncle drank a little wine and fell asleep early.
Ling Xiao was not at the mortuary tonight. Instead, he was in the small courtyard he rented, studying the Maoshan Taoist technique that Ninth Uncle had imparted to him. The more he studied, the more he felt that it was extraordinary and unfathomable. Unknowingly, he had fallen into it. By the time he realized it, it was already late at night.
At first, Ling Xiao didn't feel anything, but when he finally reacted, he immediately felt sleepy and quickly went to bed to sleep.
Not long after, the coffin of Old Master Ren in the mortuary rose up again, fell down, and rose again. The ink thread on the coffin also flashed red with each rise. The red light that was like a grid line wrapped around the zombie and suppressed it.
However, this situation was gradually weakening. As it increased again and again, the red light became weaker and weaker. When the power of the ink thread weakened, it would probably be the time when the zombie broke out of the coffin.
Great-grandfather Ren had obviously become a zombie.
Finally, the red light on the coffin stopped flashing. Instead, it was dim, as if all its energy had been exhausted.
Suddenly, the coffin shattered into pieces and exploded with a bang. The zombie in the coffin jumped up and stretched out its arms. Although the zombie did not have a mind, it still had some spirituality. It knew that it could not touch the ink fountain net, so it changed its method. Wood pieces and dust flew everywhere. The zombie jumped and landed on the ground.
A bright moon hung in the sky, and the wolf's cry rang out at this moment.
The zombie jumped out of the morgue and into the yard, landing right in front of the two lambs.
Looking at the two sheep on the ground, the zombie's eyes seemed to flash with joy. Then, it bit at them without hesitation.
After drinking the sheep's blood, the zombie left the two sheep corpses and left the mortuary.
The zombie had gained sentience, but it did not go to Ninth Uncle and Wen Cai. Instead, it followed the guidance of its bloodline and cut out of the mortuary, heading towards Ren Town.
For zombies, the greatest temptation was to drink the blood of their direct bloodline.
For example, Ren Fa!
For example, Ren Tingting!
...
Ren family
The night was quiet and full moon. It was said that it was the best time for zombies to move out.
Ren Fa returned to the inner hall after dinner. He walked to the portrait of the Old Master and burned three incense sticks. He placed them on the incense burner on the incense table and bowed three times.
Ren Tingting followed suit and also burned three incense sticks and bowed three times!
"Daddy, how did grandpa die?”Ren Tingting asked curiously.
Ren Fa sighed and said,"" One year, he knew that the price of salt would soar, so he bought three hundred catties of salt from the salt merchant and paid the full amount in one go. Who knew that the supervisor merchant would casually send someone to transport it over without any precautions? Halfway through, it encountered a heavy rain, and three hundred catties of salt were gone just like that. He went back to argue with the salt merchant, but he was so angry that he died not long after he returned.”
"So he died from anger. No wonder when he opened the coffin that day, the muscles on his face were all tensed up and looked so ugly.”
" Don't talk nonsense," Ren Fa scolded. After all, she was his beloved daughter, so he didn't want to scold her anymore."It's very late. Go to sleep."
" Father, sleep early too," Ren Tingting said as she turned around and left slowly.
" Got it." Ren Fa said," I'm going to the study later. I'll sleep after I'm done."”
Ren Fa and Ren Tingting left and closed the door of the inner hall. However, they did not know that of the three incense sticks on the incense burner, two had already been extinguished, and the other one was burning rapidly.
Ren Fa went to the study room and brewed a pot of tea. After drinking it, he was no longer sleepy. Ren Fa did not sleep and started to calculate the accounts in the study room.
Suddenly, a black figure appeared outside the door.
Because the Ren family had glass windows, even the door, Ren Fa noticed it at a glance. Just as he was shocked, an ugly figure broke in.
His mouth was full of sharp fangs, and from his wrinkled face, one could vaguely tell that this zombie dressed in a clean official uniform was obviously his father who had died more than twenty years ago.
"Father!" Ren Fa was surprised and delighted.
The zombie jumped into the study room without any explanation. It grabbed Ren Fa with both hands and bit him!
Ren Fa died!
Early the next morning, Ren Fa's body was discovered by the Ren family's servants. Someone in the know beat drums and gongs in town to inform them, shouting,""There's a murder in the Ren residence!"
In an instant, everyone in town rushed to the Ren family's residence to watch the show.
Ling Xiao was also jolted awake by the sound of the gong. He hurriedly got up and walked in the direction of the Ren residence.
Ren Manor.
Ah Wei's security captain finally had a place to put his skills to use. He brought his men and immediately surrounded the Ren family.
Looking at Ren Fa's tragic death, Ah Wei also felt nauseous and almost vomited.
When he saw Ren Tingting crying sadly, he quickly comforted her,""Biao Younger Sister, although Uncle is already dead, there's still me!”
Ah Wei kept patting his chest as a guarantee.
At this moment, Ninth Uncle and his disciple, who had heard the news, also came over.
Ninth Uncle stepped forward and pulled open the white cloth covering the corpse. He discovered that there were two deep bloody holes on Ren Fa's neck. Without a doubt, those were the work of a zombie.
Ren Fa's face was deathly pale, and his face was extremely dark. It was obvious that he had died a long time ago.
Turning his head, Ninth Uncle nodded at Ling Xiao. The meaning behind it was self-evident. Ren Fa was killed by a zombie.
At this moment, Ah Wei also noticed the arrival of Ninth Uncle and the others. He hurriedly warned," Hey, hey, don't move around.”
Ninth Uncle took the opportunity to say to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai,""The two of you, hurry back to the mortuary and see if Old Master Ren's corpse is still there.”
After Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai left, a councilor asked curiously,""Young Master Wei, what kind of weapon killed Old Master Ren?”
Ah Wei was stunned for a moment. He quickly explained," This... this was shot to death, of course.”
Ninth Uncle rolled his eyes and asked coldly,""Did every shot hit the neck?"
Ah Wei quickly changed his explanation." This…maybe the murderer was a martial arts master who was good at throwing darts. He released a nine-string gold coin dart and killed my Master Ren.”
"Where is the dart?" Ninth Uncle asked lightly.”
Seeing that Ninth Uncle had the intention to argue with him, Ah Wei was immediately dissatisfied. He originally wanted to perform well in front of Tingting, but then he glared and said,"Ninth Uncle, don't hinder my investigation. Are you smart? Then how do you think he died?"
Seeing Ah Wei's overbearing manner, Ninth Uncle could only say,"I said, he was stabbed to death by his fingernails.”
Ninth Uncle said as he took out his hands and gestured.
Ling Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly."Master, why are you so muddle-headed at this time? If Ah Wei catches you, I'm afraid you'll have to go to jail. Sigh!”
Ah Wei also saw Ninth Uncle's fingernails. Without waiting for him to retract them, he grabbed them and sneered,"Since Old Master Ren was stabbed to death by his fingernails, that means that only people with very long fingernails can do it.”
As he spoke, Ah Wei's gaze swept around the surroundings, as if he really wanted to find someone to compete with.
The squire and the ordinary people quickly hid their hands in their robes, unwilling to show their nails. They said,"Our fingernails are very short, hehe…"
At this moment, even a fool could see that Ah Wei was taking revenge on Ninth Uncle for not caring about his face at all.
Ling Xiao secretly shook his head and smiled bitterly." I'm afraid Master is in trouble this time. I'm afraid he won't be able to escape this jail time."“
"Don't accuse a good person!" Ninth Uncle defended himself.
" I won't accuse a good person. You have the longest fingernails in the village, so you're the most suspicious," Ah Wei said gloatingly.
As expected, Ah Wei coldly ordered the people beside him,"Someone come!"
"Here!"
Ah Wei's subordinates who were at the side responded in unison and took a step forward to Ninth Uncle's side.
Ah Wei ordered coldly again," Capture him.”
"Yes, sir!"
Ah Wei's subordinates quickly surrounded him and grabbed him without waiting for Ninth Uncle to resist.
Ah Wei even pretended to run to Ren Tingting's side and said righteously,"Biao Younger Sister, don't worry. The suspect has been caught. I will definitely avenge Cousin Uncle!”
It turned out that Ah Wei's actions, other than using his official position to take revenge, also had the intention of winning Ren Tingting's favor.
Ren Tingting nodded but warned," Cousin, you must investigate thoroughly. Don't accuse anyone wrongly."”
Ah Wei patted his chest repeatedly and promised," Of course, of course!”
" Men, carry Old Master Ren's body back," Ah Wei immediately stood up and said in a dignified manner.
"Yes, sir!" Ah Wei's men immediately carried Old Master Ren's body.
" If I told you to face him every day, you would definitely confess," Ah Wei said coldly to Ninth Uncle."Men, take him away!"
"Yes, sir!"
At this moment, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng also ran in one after another. They came to Ninth Uncle panting and said,""Master, the coffin is gone. The corpse is gone.”
When Ah Wei saw Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, he remembered the embarrassment he had made in front of Ren Tingting. New and old hatred suddenly surged up and he said,"These two are Ninth Uncle's disciples and suspects.”
"Yes, sir!"
Ah Wei's subordinates did not give any explanation and arrested Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng one after another.
" Master," Ling Xiao hurriedly stepped forward.
" Ninth Uncle saw that Ah Wei had also captured Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng and knew that Ah Wei was using his position to take revenge. Seeing that things could not be done, he quickly said to Ling Xiao,""The corpse of Old Master Ren of the mortuary has disappeared and turned into a zombie. He was the one who killed Old Master Ren. Tonight, Old Master Ren's corpse will also turn into a zombie.”
" Master, what do you want me to do? Just tell me," Ling Xiao said hurriedly.
" Wen Cai, Qiu Sheng, and I will bring him to the yamen. When the time comes, Old Master Ren's corpse will turn into a zombie."But no one will care about Old Master Ren's zombie. He will definitely come to kill Ren Tingting tonight, so I'll leave this place to you tonight.”
" Don't worry, Master," Ling Xiao promised. Even if Ninth Uncle didn't instruct him, he would still go for this mission. The life and death of the Ren family's great grandfather and Ren Yingying were related to his main mission.
" Let's go, let's go." Ah Wei didn't grab Ling Xiao. Although he knew that Ling Xiao was Ninth Uncle's disciple, Ah Wei knew that Ling Xiao had never expressed any improper thoughts towards Ren Tingting.
