"Ding! System quest issued. Random quest: Destroy Great-Grandfather Ren's corpse before he turns into a zombie. Quest completion reward: 5,000 Cultivation Points. Quest failure deducts 3,000 Cultivation Points. The system suddenly gave him a quest, causing Ye Xuan to frown.
However, destroying Great-Grandfather Ren's corpse before he turned into a zombie was indeed a way to reduce the number of casualties.
Just as Ye Xuan turned his attention to the tombstone and thought about how to convince Ren Fa to burn Great-Grandfather Ren's corpse, Ren Fa heard Ninth Uncle's words and gave him a thumbs up. "Amazing, Ninth Uncle!"
"Burial? Master, what is a burial? Is it a French funeral? "Wen Cai's chuunibyou syndrome was acting up again. He didn't care about the situation and asked directly.
"Shut up!" Ninth Uncle glared at him and slowly walked to the side with his hands behind his back. Qiu Sheng looked at Wen Cai and shook his head as he snickered.
"Ninth Uncle, we've finished worshiping the god. Can we start digging?" At that moment, the men Ren Fa told to dig the coffin walked over to Ninth Uncle and asked.
"Yes!" Ninth Uncle nodded.
Seeing Ninth Uncle nod, the men walked to Great-Grandfather Ren's grave and kicked it down. Then, they picked up hoes, shovels, and other tools and started digging the grave. They looked like experienced grave-diggers.
At that moment, a few people were sitting together. Police Captain Ah Wei saw his cousin Ren Tingting standing so close to Qiu Sheng and felt jealous. He walked over and pushed Qiu Sheng to the side with his shoulder. This caused Ninth Uncle, who was standing with them, to stumble. Fortunately, Ye Xuan was standing next to him. Ye Xuan was suddenly pushed, but his body didn't shake. He was like an old tree with roots.
Qiu Sheng didn't care and looked at the people digging the grave. He walked to Ninth Uncle's side and asked, "Master, what is a burial?"
Regarding Qiu Sheng, Ye Xuan clearly felt that Ninth Uncle favored Qiu Sheng more than Wen Cai. This was because Qiu Sheng was smarter and more reliable than Wen Cai, who always talked big. Ninth Uncle explained as he walked, "The so-called burial is a vertical burial!"
At this time, Uncle Jiu had already walked to Ah Wei's side. His body swayed and pushed Ah Wei, who was still proud of himself, away. Then, he looked at Ren Fa and said, "Am I right?"
Seeing Ninth Uncle's actions, Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head. This Ninth Uncle was really protective.
"Yes, the Feng Shui master said, 'If the ancestors are buried vertically, the descendants will be great!'" Ren Fa frowned.
"Is it effective?" Ninth Uncle looked at Ren Fa with an unfathomable expression.
Ren Fa smiled bitterly and shook his head. He turned around and walked to the grave. "In the past 20 years, the business of our Ren Family has been getting worse. I don't know why. "
"I think this Feng Shui master has a grudge against your Ren Family!" Ninth Uncle frowned.
"A grudge?" Ren Fa didn't understand and looked at Ninth Uncle suspiciously.
"Did you have a grudge against him when you were alive?" Ninth Uncle continued to ask.
Ren Fa thought for a while and smiled bitterly. "This land was originally his. My father knew it was a good place. So, he bought it. "
Ninth Uncle was old and experienced. He knew what rich people did. He looked at Ren Fa with a faint smile and said, "You just tempted him. Did you threaten him?"
Hearing Ninth Uncle's words, Ren Fa smiled awkwardly. Ren Fa just smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.
Seeing Ren Fa's expression, Ninth Uncle twitched the corner of his mouth. He said with certainty, "I think he must have threatened him. Otherwise, he would never harm you. He even asked you to cover the whole grave with cement."
"What will happen?" Ren Fa said excitedly after hearing Ninth Uncle's words.
Ninth Uncle walked forward and looked at the soil mixed with cement powder on the ground. He gestured and said, "It should be covered by snow. This is called a dragonfly touching the water. If the head of the coffin doesn't touch the water, how can it be called a dragonfly touching the water? He still has a conscience. He asked you to move the coffin after 20 years. He harmed you for half of your life, not for your whole life. He harmed your generation, not for 18 generations! "
Ren Fa was confused for a while. He came to his home and was plotted against for 20 years.
"I saw it!" As soon as Ninth Uncle finished speaking, those grave-digging men suddenly shouted.
The people who had been walking around heard the voice and gathered around. They saw the direction of the head of the coffin. It was a burial.
After a while, the coffin was pulled up by those grave-digging men. Seeing the coffin put down, Ninth Uncle said in a deep voice, "Loosen the rope and pull out the nails!"
Then, Ninth Uncle turned his head and looked at the people who gathered around to watch the scene. He said, "Everyone, today is the day when Duke Ren Weitong sees the light of day again. Those who are 36, 22, 35, and 48 years old, and are born in the year of the rooster or the ox, turn around and leave!"
As soon as he finished speaking, those who were mentioned by Ninth Uncle turned around and left.
"Leave is over. Tidy up your clothes and open the coffin!" After a few seconds, Ninth Uncle finally spoke again. But when he was about to open the coffin, a large number of birds beside him suddenly flew up, as if something terrible had appeared.
Seeing this scene, Ninth Uncle also frowned. He looked in the direction of the coffin and walked forward.
The coffin was opened, and a thick black Corpse Qi spread in the air as the coffin was opened. When the Corpse Qi dissipated, the body of Great-Grandfather Ren, who had been dead for 20 years, was still in good condition. There was no sign of decay at all.
When Ninth Uncle saw the state of the body, he frowned, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Ninth Uncle, there is something wrong with this body!" Ye Xuan walked forward and looked at the body in the coffin, frowning.
"Brother Ye, you can see that this body is really strange!" Ninth Uncle nodded and said softly.
"I think this body has become a zombie," Ye Xuan said again.
"You mean … a zombie?" Ninth Uncle frowned.
"Yes!" Ye Xuan nodded.
"Father! Grandfather! " Just as Ye Xuan and Ninth Uncle were whispering to each other, the father and daughter of the Ren family quickly knelt in front of the coffin. "Father, I am unfilial and have disturbed you!"
After worshiping, Ren Fa stood up and looked at Ninth Uncle, asking, "Ninth Uncle, can this acupoint be used again?"
"Like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, I will definitely not touch the same spot again. This acupoint has already been abolished." Uncle Jiu shook his head, but his eyes were shining as he looked at the corpse of Great-Grandfather Ren in the coffin.
"What should we do?" Ren Fa asked worriedly.
"I suggest cremation on the spot!" Ninth Uncle said.
"Cremation? No, my father was most afraid of fire when he was alive. I can't do this! "Hearing Ninth Uncle's suggestion, Ren Fa immediately shook his head and objected.
Ninth Uncle already had a bad feeling about this body. After hearing what Ye Xuan said, he was even more worried and advised again, "Old Master Ren, this is not normal. There will be trouble if we don't cremate it."
"Whatever you want, just don't cremate it!" Ren Fa said firmly.
"No, this body must be cremated!" At this time, Ye Xuan, who had been silent, stood out.
"Priest Ye. This is the Ren family's matter. It has nothing to do with you! " Ren Fa originally had a good impression of Ye Xuan, but when he saw Ye Xuan standing out to oppose him, he looked at Ye Xuan angrily.
"No, you are wrong. It is not only related to me, but also to the people of Pingyao Town!" Ye Xuan looked back at the crowd and said loudly.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ren Fa said angrily, "Nonsense. Priest Ye, what does it have to do with the people of Pingyao Town whether my father is cremated or not? "
"Hehe!" Ye Xuan smiled faintly and pointed at the intact body in the coffin. He said loudly, "Everyone, come and take a look. This Old Master Ren has been dead for 20 years, but his body has not decomposed. Don't you feel that something is wrong?"
The people who were crowding outside just to watch the fun heard that it was related to them. They came forward to take a look and saw that Old Master Ren's body in the coffin had not decomposed. They whispered to each other.
"So what?" Ren Fa found it strange too. He frowned and asked.
"I think Old Master Ren's body has become a zombie. If we don't deal with it, he will become a zombie very soon," Ye Xuan said.
Ah?! —
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, everyone exclaimed. The people who were crowding around immediately scattered and ran far away from the coffin.
"Nonsense!" At this moment, Police Captain Ah Wei, who had been standing there without saying a word, suddenly stood up with a righteous look on his face. "Uncle, don't listen to their nonsense. This is a world of science. There are no zombies. I think they're just trying to scare you and cheat you of your money."
Ah Wei looked as if he had seen through their scheme and looked at Ye Xuan with a smug expression.
"Ignorant!" Ye Xuan glanced at Ah Wei and said with disdain.
"Yo ho!" Ah Wei was originally a police chief who was domineering in town. Seeing that Ye Xuan dared to talk back to him, he pulled out the gun at his waist and pointed it at Ye Xuan. "I suspect that you are a swindler who is using superstition to cheat my uncle. Put your hands on your head and squat down. Follow me to the police station."
"What are you doing?" Ninth Uncle and his two disciples shouted angrily when they saw Ah Wei pointing his gun at Ye Xuan.
"And the three of you, put your hands on your head and squat down. Otherwise, I will assume that you are resisting arrest and shoot you to death!" Seeing that Ninth Uncle and his two disciples also stood up, Ah Wei was worried that he wouldn't be able to take revenge for being pushed away from Ren Tingting by Ninth Uncle, so he pointed his gun at Ninth Uncle and his two disciples.
"Hmph, so what if you have a gun?" Looking at the arrogant Ah Wei, Ye Xuan smiled coldly and slowly walked toward Ah Wei.
"Brother Ye, don't be rash!" Ninth Uncle called out worriedly when he saw Ye Xuan walking directly toward Ah Wei who was holding a gun.
"I'm warning you, don't come any closer, or else I will really shoot!" Seeing that Ye Xuan was slowly walking toward him, Ah Wei pointed his gun at Ye Xuan and warned him.
"Go on, try and open it!" Ye Xuan looked at Ah Wei calmly. His footsteps didn't slow down as he continued to walk toward Ah Wei.
"You … You …" Seeing that Ye Xuan actually ignored his warning, Ah Wei's hand trembled and he actually pulled the trigger on his finger.
Bang!
Ah! — —
As the gunshot rang out, Ren Tingting, who was next to them, let out a scream. Everyone's vision went blurry. They saw that Ye Xuan had appeared beside Ah Wei out of nowhere, and he was even playing with Ah Wei's gun in his hand.
Although Ye Xuan didn't have any abilities, his strength and agility were still there. As long as one looked closely at Ah Wei's movements, with his agility that was close to ten times that of an ordinary person, it wasn't difficult for him to dodge the bullets from this kind of gun.
"What a piece of trash. You don't even know how to use a gun. Do you want me to teach you?" Ye Xuan played with the gun in his hand, then he suddenly pointed the muzzle down and pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang! — —
A series of shots hit Ah Wei's feet. Ah Wei was so scared that his whole body turned cold. His face turned pale and he sat on the ground, almost peeing.
He casually threw the gun on the ground and looked at Ah Wei mockingly. Then he raised his head and looked at the frightened audience. He pointed at a few men and said, "You guys, go pick up some dry branches or something from the side and burn this corpse for me."
"No, you can't burn it. If you want to burn my father, you have to kill me first!" Hearing that Ye Xuan wanted to burn his father, Ren Fa shouted. Then he suddenly knelt down in front of Ninth Uncle and begged, "Ninth Uncle, I beg you. I know you have a way. As long as you don't cremate him, I'll agree to any method."
Seeing Ren Fa kneeling on the ground and begging, Ninth Uncle's heart softened. He thought for a moment and said to Ye Xuan, "Brother Ye, look, the corpse hasn't turned into a zombie yet. How about we think of another way?"
"Ninth Uncle, you have to think carefully. If the corpse turns into a zombie, it'll be too late." Seeing that Ninth Uncle was soft-hearted, Ye Xuan reminded him.
"Yes, Master, listen to Mr. Ye and cremate the corpse!" Qiu Sheng persuaded Ninth Uncle.
Wen Cai looked at Ren Tingting, who was kneeling with Ren Fa. Seeing her pitiful appearance, he persuaded, "Master, help Tingting. She's so pitiful!"
"Shut up!" Hearing that Wen Cai was still interrupting, Ninth Uncle scolded him angrily. Wen Cai was so scared that he immediately shut his mouth.
"Ninth Uncle, as long as you help me settle my father's funeral, I'll help you build a new coffin house." Seeing that begging didn't work, Ren Fa began to promise a huge profit.
Hearing Ren Fa's words, Ninth Uncle was tempted. The coffin house had been built for more than 20 years. Although it had been repaired a few times, the wood used to build the house had started to rot. Some parts of the house would leak when it rained. Ninth Uncle had always wanted to rebuild a coffin house. Unfortunately, none of the rich families in the town agreed to donate. Moreover, Ninth Uncle didn't have much income, so he let the coffin house continue to deteriorate.
"Brother Ye, bring the corpse back to the coffin house first. I'll think of a way!" Ninth Uncle gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Xuan.
Seeing that Ninth Uncle had made his decision, Ye Xuan's eyes lit up. Although Ye Xuan knew that Ninth Uncle wasn't the same Ninth Uncle who selflessly handed the Maoshan Secret Skills to him, Ye Xuan didn't want to make things difficult for him. In the end, he closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, thank you, Ninth Uncle. Thank you for everything!" Seeing that Ye Xuan didn't object, Ren Fa thanked Ninth Uncle happily.
"You're welcome, Old Master Ren!" Ninth Uncle nodded lightly, then shouted to the people beside him, "Everyone, don't worry. I'll take care of Old Master Ren. Now, cover the coffin and send the corpse back to the coffin house!"
