Chapter 6

Six, Dragonfly Touching Water Point

"Uncle Jiu, it's really like this," Master Ren exclaimed in admiration, finding that Uncle Jiu's words matched exactly what the feng shui master had said twenty years ago.

Wencai, curious, asked, "Master, what is Fah Cang? Is it a French funeral?"

Qiusheng chuckled on the side, and Uncle Jiu glared at Wencai, saying, "Less talk." Wencai, having hit a snag, became much more subdued and dared not interrupt. Bai Yu was even less impressed with Uncle Jiu's ability to teach his disciples. After all, Wencai had been with him since childhood but knew nothing, no, he might be good at causing trouble. When he was messing with the police captain at the Ren family, it made Bai Yu laugh uncontrollably while watching the movie.

At this moment, a few young men called by Master Ren came to Uncle Jiu and asked, "Has Uncle Jiu finished the worship? Can we start digging?"

Uncle Jiu nodded, "Yes." Following Uncle Jiu's instructions, the men picked up their tools, came to the grave, kicked open the tombstone with their feet, and started digging with their shovels. At this moment, Police Captain Ah Wei, seeing Qiusheng standing next to Ren Yingying, felt somewhat annoyed and quickly moved to push Qiusheng aside.

Qiusheng, seeing this, was not bothered and came to Uncle Jiu, asking, "Master, what exactly is Fah Cang?"

Uncle Jiu did not scold Qiusheng as he did Wencai. The key was that Qiusheng did not talk nonsense like Wencai. Uncle Jiu, with a profound air, said, "Fah Cang means vertical burial." He then asked Master Ren for confirmation, "Is that correct?"

Master Ren frowned, "The feng shui master said, 'If the ancestors are buried vertically, the descendants will surely be excellent.'" Bai Yu and Uncle Jiu understood why from his expression. Uncle Jiu asked, "Is that true?"

"Um," Master Ren paused, his frown deepening. He shook his head, "In the past twenty years, my family's business has been getting worse. I don't know why." As he spoke, he walked away, looking worried. Bai Yu sighed inwardly, "Self-inflicted suffering cannot be avoided." Uncle Jiu analyzed, "I think this feng shui master has a grudge against your family." He then pondered, "Did your father have any conflicts with him before he died?"

Master Ren said, "This land originally belonged to the feng shui master. We bought it with a lot of money later."

Uncle Jiu looked at him, "Just a bribe? Was there any coercion?" Master Ren just smiled awkwardly without answering.

Uncle Jiu let out a light hum, "I think there must have been coercion. Otherwise, he wouldn't have harmed you so much, and made you cover the entire Dragonfly Touching Water Point with concrete." Master Ren asked, "What should it be like then?"

Uncle Jiu pointed to the grave and gestured, "It should be like snow covering the top. If the coffin head doesn't touch the water, how can it be called Dragonfly Touching Water? He still had some conscience to let you exhume and relocate the coffin after twenty years, harming you for half a life instead of a whole life, and one generation instead of eighteen generations." Bai Yu noticed that Uncle Jiu was no longer as respectful to Master Ren as before, and the events of twenty years ago had affected his attitude.

Master Ren was now in a state of confusion, thinking that if it weren't for today's exhumation and Uncle Jiu's revelation, he might have been deceived for a lifetime.

The young men were working hard, and at this moment, someone shouted loudly, "We see it." Everyone came to the grave.

At this moment, the ethereal voice in Bai Yu's ear sounded again: "Mission issued, eliminate the zombie: After Ren Lao Taiye's corpse fully transforms into a zombie, eliminate it. Reward: 500 exchange points, one random draw opportunity."

Bai Yu's eyes lit up, another mission! However, he was also curious about the 500 exchange points and the random draw opportunity. He asked the system, "System, what is the random draw?"

"The system, to better enhance the host's strength, will provide a random draw opportunity in each ultimate mission of the plot. The items drawn can be diverse, perhaps not on the exchange list or on it. They can be useful or useless."

Bai Yu was speechless, wasn't this the pitfall of the random draw in novels? The system actually has this too, but having this might not be a bad thing. If he gets lucky, he could achieve a great leap forward.

At this moment, the young men brought out the coffin and placed it on the empty ground. Uncle Jiu said solemnly, "Loosen the ropes and remove the nails." He then turned to the crowd, "Everyone, today is the day Ren Gong Weiyong sees the light of day again. Those who are 36, 22, 35, or 48 years old and belong to the Year of the Rooster or the Year of the Ox should turn and leave." Some people immediately left.

After a few moments, Uncle Jiu said, "Those who have left, open the coffin." The young men followed the order and opened the coffin. Suddenly, strange things happened. The birds in the forest were startled and flew away, and the sound of crows could be heard.

Bai Yu looked at Uncle Jiu sideways and saw him frowning in deep thought, sensing something was wrong. Bai Yu approached him, "Senior Brother, do you feel something is off?"

Uncle Jiu nodded, "Yes, the birds being startled and the crows crying are bad omens." The coffin was now open, and a strong smell of decay spread out. When the smell dissipated, the body inside the coffin was revealed, completely unrotted. Uncle Jiu was even more puzzled.

The Ren family father and daughter cried and bowed, "Father," "Grandfather." Master Ren cried, "Disturbing you, my child is truly unfilial." However, there were no tears, as so many years had passed, and the sorrow had faded. Now it was just following local customs.

At this moment, Master Ren stood up, "Uncle Jiu, can this point be used again?"

Uncle Jiu, his eyes still on the coffin, said, "The Dragonfly Touching Water Point will not be the same again. This point cannot be used again."

Master Ren was in a state of confusion again, "What should we do?" His eyes were fixed on Uncle Jiu, eager for an answer.

"I suggest we cremate it on the spot."

"Cremate? No!" Master Ren immediately objected, "My father was most afraid of fire. I can't do this."

Bai Yu was inwardly amused, what a filial child, but I like it. If he were unfilial, how could I complete my mission?

Uncle Jiu found his words abrupt but still insisted, "Master Ren, not cremating will cause trouble." Master Ren was also very insistent, "Anything but cremation. Think of another way."

Uncle Jiu sighed, "Alright, we'll temporarily place it in our mortuary tonight and find another grave for the old master tomorrow to let him rest in peace." As he spoke, Captain Ah Wei shouted, "Cover the coffin and carry it back to the mortuary." Everyone hurried back.

Uncle Jiu first instructed Wencai and Qiusheng to offer incense, then pulled Bai Yu to the back of the procession. Uncle Jiu said solemnly, "Junior Brother, there will be trouble this time."

Bai Yu thought he had known this all along but asked, "Do you mean Ren Lao Taiye might turn into a zombie?"

Uncle Jiu's eyes showed admiration, "Yes, he will likely turn into a zombie tonight."

Bai Yu frowned, "It seems the Ren family will have trouble. A zombie will seek the first drop of blood from a close relative to become a true zombie. We must keep a close watch on him."

"Right, and Master Ren doesn't want cremation, so it's up to us." Uncle Jiu nodded solemnly.

As they spoke, they arrived at the mortuary. Inside, Uncle Jiu led Bai Yu to the coffin room in the back. They offered incense respectfully to the portrait of their ancestor and then sat down to drink tea. Suddenly, two shouts came from afar, "Master, it's not good, it's not good!" Soon, Qiusheng and Wencai rushed in.

Uncle Jiu's eyebrows shot up, and he scolded, "What's the rush?"

Wencai quickly showed the incense in his hand, out of breath, "Master... Master, look."

Uncle Jiu's eyebrows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again. He took the incense and sighed, "People fear three long and two short, and incense most fears two short and one long. This incense burning like this means someone in the family will die. Junior Brother, we must be on high alert tonight."

Qiusheng was now somewhat unhappy. He pulled Uncle Jiu's clothes and walked to the side, "Master, this Bai Daozhang is probably younger than Wencai and me. Can we rely on him? I don't think his knowledge and power are better than mine."

Uncle Jiu scolded him in a low voice, "Brat, do you think everyone in the world is like you two? You're so old and still haven't achieved anything in cultivation. You've been cultivating for over ten years and only gathered a pitiful thread of power, and Wencai is even worse with only half a thread. Why do I want you to call Bai Yu Daozhang? Don't you understand? Only when one's cultivation reaches a certain level can they be called Daozhang. You fool." He then patted Qiusheng's head in dissatisfaction.

Qiusheng was filled with disbelief, staring at Uncle Jiu, "How is that possible? Didn't you say that the current lack of earth qi makes it impossible to achieve anything without years of cultivation?"

Uncle Jiu nodded, "Yes, I did say that, but there are always exceptions. If one has exceptional talent, age doesn't matter. I didn't tell you before to avoid discouraging you. Now, there is one. A few days ago, he gave me the impression of having about five threads of power, but today he definitely has more than eight. He will definitely surpass me and may become a master in the future." He then patted his shoulder and leaned in, "This is an opportunity, seize it."

Qiusheng naturally understood Uncle Jiu's meaning. In the past, every master was the head of a sect. If he could build a good relationship now, he would benefit for life. He then let go of Uncle Jiu, straightened up, and said to Bai Yu, "Uncle, do you want tea? I'll get it for you." The title changed from Bai Daozhang to Uncle, and the other three were stunned.

Brothers, Xiao Chao is here asking for recommendations and collections. I hope you support me.
