The Miaowei tribe respected the east. The coffins at the easternmost part of the Guawo Village's burial ground were the ancestors' coffins. The fact that Zhang Daowu's wooden coffin could be placed there so openly showed his special position in the mountain village.
"But I'm afraid the Zhang family's generation won't be buried at the easternmost part of the burial ground." Tao Lielin was relieved when Zhang Daowu's coffin landed on the ground. The funeral was finally completed smoothly, he thought to himself dejectedly as he looked at Zhang Lisheng next to him.
Later on, he frowned and shouted, "Er Mu, San Gou, Yangzhi … You young people should be more careful.
"Since the funeral is over, why aren't you asking these visitors to leave our Guawo Village's burial ground?"
"Yes, yes, Uncle Ah Lie is right. Why aren't you guys leaving?
This is our ancestor's burial ground. Ordinary juniors can't come here. You guys were visitors earlier, so we couldn't do anything even if we were to force our way in, but not now. "
"Everyone, you have to understand that this place is like a Chinese ancestral hall or a foreign church to us. We can't just enter …"
The young men from Guawo Village snapped back to reality and began to chase them away one after another. However, they did not do anything too extreme. After all, the tourists were the 'God of Fortune' of the mountain people. No matter how tough the folk customs were, nobody would say no to money.
The burial ground was bustling. Nobody noticed that the valley was quiet after Zhang Daowu's coffin landed on the ground. Dark clouds began to gather in the clear sky.
Soon, thunder came and raindrops fell. Without anyone chasing them away, the tourists and the Guawo villagers ran back to the mountain village while covering their heads with their hands.
Tao Lielin did not go home after returning to Guawo Village. Instead, he went to the Zhang family's old house.
He opened the money box that was sealed in the central room and counted the gift money carefully again in front of Zhang Lisheng. He said, "Mountain Worm, you've given me 30,000 yuan for the funeral.
"I've spent 1,800 yuan renting the ice coffin for six days and bought 127 sheep … The total cost is 69,861 yuan."
"Uncle Ah Lie, I'll give you more …"
"Don't rush, let me finish counting.
They spent so much money to entertain the guests because there were too many tourists. No wonder they were called donkeys. Their stomachs could really eat.
However, these foreigners are very generous. Tsk tsk, the least amount of gift money is 200 yuan. Based on this, after the funeral, not only did we not suffer any losses, but we also earned 52,800 yuan. That's not counting the foreign money. "
Ah Lielin's account had completely ignored Guawo Village's manpower, it was not surprising that he was rich. Zhang Lisheng said sensibly, "Uncle Ah Lie, I don't want the rest of the money. Please do me another favor and buy …"
"Kid, what are you going to eat in the future? Don't think that you'll be safe just because you have a few hundred thousand.
Let me tell you, you have a long life ahead of you. These days, money is getting less and less useful. It's even more so when you leave the mountains.
Uncle has served in the army, worked in the workforce, and seen the world. You won't lose out if you listen to my teachings. Keep the money well. When the weather clears up tomorrow and the day after that, I'll take you to the bank in town to deposit the money. "
Zhang Lisheng fell into silence for a while after hearing that. He nodded and took the money box.
Tao Lielin smiled in relief seeing that he listened to what he said. He said, "That's right. I'm leaving now, keep the money well and don't lose it. But theoretically, nobody would dare to enter your house." He then walked out of the Zhang family's old house in big steps in the rain.
Zhang Lisheng was left alone in the old house again after he closed the wooden door. He threw the money box that contained tens of thousands of yuan on the sacrificial table in the central room carelessly. He looked at the pouring rain in the courtyard in front of the central room while making 'pst shh …' sounds.
A shallow gully appeared on the ground in the courtyard. Soon, a gigantic centipede with a green face and fangs popped its head out of the soil.
Zhang Lisheng could not help but feel happy when he saw that the wizard gu was safe and sound. Not only that, it seemed to have grown bigger. Right at that moment, as though the wizard gu was absorbing the yin qi, a dark cloud rolled in the sky. A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and exploded in the sky above the Zhang family's old house.
In the midst of the lightning and thunder, Qing Hong froze all of a sudden. Subsequently, a thick black gas came out of its body.
The black gas slowly floated into the central room of the old house, passing through the hall and leaving a long black line in the air. It actually entered Zhang Daowu's bedroom and entered the wooden box that hid the sculptures of the Nine-tailed Lizard, Hook Snake, Mountain Spider, Qin Yuan, Dark Wasp, and other strange insects.
Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a while as he had no idea what was happening. He walked into his father's bedroom following the black line in the air in confusion.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, he heard a faint insect chirping sound coming from the wooden box that contained the strange insect sculptures. He hesitated for a moment and climbed onto the wooden bed. He opened the wooden box slowly.
The chirping sound stopped as soon as the box was opened. Apart from being surrounded by a faint black mist, the ancient strange insect sculptures in the wooden box looked normal.
Zhang Lisheng frowned. Just when he was about to pick up the figurines to take a closer look, all of the bizarre insect figurines in the wooden box suddenly melted into a gust of green smoke as though they were being corroded by the black mist. It rushed into his nose, ears, mouth, and eyes.
Zhang Lisheng felt like he was in a trance when the green smoke entered his body. The Witchcraft cultivation methods that he forced to memorize in his head turned into countless runes and incantations in his memory and flew around before his eyes.
After flying around for a while, the runes began to reassemble slowly. Eventually, ten complete cultivation methods that were inherited from the beginning to the end appeared in his head one after another.
Just when the Witchcraft method was about to take shape, the green smoke came out of Zhang Lisheng's seven orifices slowly. Coincidentally, a series of lightning struck from the sky above the Zhang family's old house.
A bolt of lightning in the thunderstorm condensed into a bright white ball shape. It landed in the old house's courtyard and entered Zhang Daowu's bedroom through the open door.
As Zhang Lisheng watched in shock, the ball of lightning exploded all of a sudden and turned into countless electric currents that filled the room.
The tens of green smoke that was about to disperse from Zhang Lisheng's seven orifices and turn into the strange insect sculptures shrunk back into his seven orifices because of the electric current. As the method took shape, the Witchcraft's inherited treasures could no longer escape.
Although the lightning ball was rare, it was not a supernatural phenomenon. Instead, it was purely a physical phenomenon. It was taught in Chinese junior high school's second grade physics class.
Zhang Lisheng had no idea what kind of opportunity this extremely coincidental astronomical phenomenon had given him. At that very moment, he was only surprised that he experienced the lightning ball in his house. He was surprised by the ten Witchcraft cultivation methods that appeared in his head out of nowhere.
Other than cultivating hard, becoming a wizard was mostly a gift from heaven. There was no fixed rule. The ten cultivation methods in Zhang Lisheng's head were the cultivation methods after Wizard Rank-1, Wizard Rank-2 to Wizard Rank-12.
Although this method was the cultivation method of the Gate of Death from the Witchcraft's Gate of Death, Sacrifice, and Life, the cultivator would have to open the path with insects first. It was not as easy as exploring and cultivating on his own. However, it was a great fortune for Zhang Lisheng to have a method to rely on.
A wizard would change every six years. Wizard Rank-12 would go through two transformations. By then, his life would be completely different from a mortal's. At the very least, there would not be a ridiculous accident like what Zhang Daowu did when he flipped over the guardrail and was killed by a speeding taxi. If Zhang Lisheng were to explore and cultivate on his own, he might not have any hope in his life.
Moreover, he became a wizard from the wizard gu's cultivation method. The spell that he mastered as a Rank-1 Wizard was the giant worm controlling method. It was just nice for the early cultivation path of the Witchcraft's Gate of Death.
After being happy for a while, Zhang Lisheng snapped back to reality and sighed softly as he looked at the empty wooden box. Although he was happy about his huge gain, he was a little regretful that he did not have the chance to study those strange insect sculptures that were neither wood nor metal.
After sighing, Zhang Lisheng put on his shoes immediately and ran out of his father's bedroom. He went to the door of the central room to check on his wizard gu.
In the courtyard, Qing Hong was crawling on the ground. Its originally glossy and shiny outer shell had become dull and colorless, and the cracks could be vaguely seen. However, from the fact that its whiskers were still trembling slightly, its condition was not too bad.
The most convenient and fastest way to treat a wizard gu that was injured was naturally to feed it with its owner's blood. After thinking about it, Zhang Lisheng felt that it would be too dangerous without Qing Hong accompanying him if he wanted to go into the forest to look for another wizard gu tomorrow.
Feeling helpless, he could only chant witchcraft incantation and spat a mouthful of black blood out.
The blood mist was not affected by the heavy rain. It covered Qing Hong in the courtyard completely. By the time the blood mist dispersed, the wizard gu's cracked body had recovered to its original state. However, it was still not very agile when it was crawling.
Seeing that, Zhang Lisheng could only spit another mouthful of black blood out helplessly in order to not fall short of success.
After being nourished by its owner's blood twice in a row, Qing Hong finally recovered to its best condition. However, Zhang Lisheng had lost a lot of his Qi and blood, causing him to have a splitting headache.
Since he had chosen to cultivate the Witchcraft's Gate of Death, there were no taboos anymore. He chanted witchcraft incantation to get Qing Hong to crawl into the shallow soil. He staggered to the central room's offering table and devoured all of the offerings.
Zhang Lisheng wiped his mouth after he was full. He returned to his bedroom in the side room and fell asleep on his bed.
The next day, Zhang Lisheng woke up late in the afternoon. He took off the Miaowei costume that he had been wearing for five days and changed into a school uniform that had 'Damu No. 3 High School' written on it. He walked to the central room and realized that it was still raining in the courtyard.
Such weather was not suitable to hunt for worms in the forest. One must know that apart from ferocious beasts and poisonous worms, there were also natural disasters such as flash floods and landslides in the forest. He would definitely die if he encountered it accidentally.
Since he had nothing to do, he could only chant witchcraft incantation and cultivate slowly.
Witchcraft incantation was used to dissipate and incantation was used to restrain.
To Zhang Lisheng who was still a Rank-1 Wizard, he could slowly increase his wizard power as long as he chanted the only Bug Repelling Incantation that he could use without using his consciousness to drive the wizard gu.
Such a slow increase was really slow. It was his first time officially cultivating. Zhang Lisheng had been chanting the incantation until night fell and his mouth was dry. However, there was only a slight increase in his wizard power in his blood.
He might need at least two to three years to break through to Rank-2 Wizard if he were to cultivate witchcraft at such a speed.
