Dragonfly Waterfall Cave
Dragonfly Waterfall Cave
"Indeed, Old Master Ji is quite remarkable." Mr. Ren was amazed to find that Old Master Ji's words were identical to those of the geomancer twenty years ago, and he couldn't help but applaud.
The two of them curiously asked, "Master, what is a Dharma repository? Is it a French funeral?"
Qiu Sheng was secretly laughing beside him, Jiu Shu glared at Wen Cai and said, "Less talk?" Wen Cai was embarrassed and didn't dare to interrupt. At this time, Bai Yu couldn't even praise Jiu Shu's skills in teaching his disciples, it's true that Wen Cai should have been following him since he was a child, but he doesn't understand anything, no, he might be good at bullying people. When they were teasing the police captain at the Ren family, Bai Yu couldn't stop laughing while watching the movie.
At this time, Old Man Ren called over a few young men and they came to Ninth Uncle's side saying: "Ninth Uncle has paid his respects, can we start digging now?"
Jiushu nodded and said, "Alright." After hearing Jiushu's instructions, several people picked up their tools and came to the front of the grave. They kicked open the tombstone with both feet and dug up the grave with the iron shovel in their hands. At this time, Police Captain Awei saw that Qiu Sheng was standing next to Ren Yingying and felt a bit uncomfortable. He quickly turned around and squeezed Qiu Sheng aside.
Qiu Sheng saw this situation and didn't mind, came to Jiu Shu's front and asked: "Master, what is the Dharma Storehouse after all?"
Jiǔ shū zhè shí duì qiū shēng dào méi xiàng duì wén cái nà yàng méi hǎo qì, zuì guān jiàn de shì qiū shēng bù xiàng wén cái mǎn zuǐ pǎo huǒ chē, jìng shuō xiē bù zhuó biān de shì. Zhī tīng jiǔ shū yī pài gāo shēn mò cè de yàng zi, dào: "Suǒ wèi fǎ zàng, jiù shì shù zhe máng." Hòu yòu duì rèn lǎo ye qiú zhèng dào: "Bù zhī wǒ shuō de duì bù duì?"
Ren Lao Ye frowned slightly and said, "That Feng Shui master once said, 'The ancestors were buried upright, the descendants will definitely be prosperous.'" Bai Yu Jiushu saw his expression and knew why, so he asked, "Is that accurate?"
"Alas," Old Master Ren said, his brow furrowed even more tightly as he shook his head and said, "Our family's business has been getting worse and worse over the past twenty years, I don't know why." As he spoke, he walked away with a worried look on his face. Bai Yu secretly sighed, "You reap what you sow." Ninth Uncle analyzed beside him, "I think this Feng Shui master has a grudge against your family." He then pondered, "Did Father have any past conflicts with him before he passed away?"
Mr. Ren said: "This piece of land was originally owned by Mr. Fengshui, but later it was bought out with a lot of money."
"Is that just a bribe? Is there any coercion?" Mr. Ren heard this and only smiled awkwardly, but didn't answer.
Ninth Uncle let out a soft hum and said, "I think it must be coercion. Otherwise, they wouldn't have harmed you like this and even had you cover the entire Dragonfly Water Hole with cement." Old Man Ren couldn't help but ask, "What kind of thing is that?"
He pointed to the grave and said, "It should be covered with snowflakes, and the coffin head can't touch the water. How can it be called 'dragonfly water' if it doesn't? He still has a conscience to let you move the coffin after twenty years, harming you for half your life but not for a lifetime, repaying one generation without harming eighteen generations." At this time, Bai Yu heard that Jiu Shu was no longer as respectful to Lao Ye as before, and the matter of twenty years ago had affected his attitude towards Lao Ye.
Mr. Ren was now in a state of utter confusion, thinking that if it weren't for the relocation of the coffin today, his ninth uncle would have told him that he might be kept in the dark for the rest of his life.
Those young people were quite spirited. At this time, someone shouted loudly: "I saw it." Everyone came to the front of the grave following the sound.
At this time, the faint voice in Bai Yu's ear sounded again: Task release, eliminate zombies: After Ren Lao Tai Ye's corpse is completely transformed into a zombie, eliminate it. Reward: 500 exchange points, one random draw reward opportunity.
White Feather's eyes lit up, another task! But under the excitement, there was also some curiosity. 500 points to exchange for something was clear, but what about the random draw reward opportunity? Was the system playing a lottery game? So she quietly asked the system: "System, what's with the lottery?"
"The system will provide a chance to win a prize at the end of each plot's ultimate task to enhance the host's strength. The prize may be diverse, possibly something that does not exist in the exchange list or maybe something that exists. It might be useful, or it might be useless."
Bai Yu was speechless, wasn't this the lottery function of Zhong Keng's dad? The system actually had this too, but having this thing might not be a bad thing after all. If one's luck exploded once, they could definitely rise to the top in one step.
At this time, several young men brought out the coffin and placed it on the empty ground beside. Only to hear Ninth Uncle say in a low voice: "Loosen the rope and remove the nails." Then he turned around and said to the crowd: "Everyone, today is the day when Ren Gongwei's bravery will be revealed to the world. Those who are 36, 22, 35, or 48 years old, belonging to the chicken or cow zodiac signs, please turn around and leave." As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people turned around and left.
After a few breaths, Ninth Uncle said: "The avoidance is complete, open the coffin." Several young men listened to the order and went to open the coffin. At this time, a strange change suddenly occurred. The birds in the forest seemed to be frightened by something, and they flew up in pieces. Behind his ears, he also heard several loud cawing sounds of ravens.
Bai Yu glanced sideways at Jiu Shu, only to see him frowning and deep in thought, as if he had a bad feeling. So Bai Yu leaned in close to him and asked, "Shixiong, do you feel something is off?"
Ninth Uncle responded lightly, saying: "That's right, the flying bird startled and the crow cawed, this is an omen of bad luck." At this time, the coffin had already been opened, and a strong stench of death spread out from inside the coffin. After the smell dissipated, the corpse inside was revealed, but surprisingly, there was not a single sign of decay. Ninth Uncle's heart became even more suspicious upon seeing this.
Ren's father and daughter burst into tears, kowtowing and calling out "Father" and "Grandfather". Ren Lao Ye wept, saying: "I've disturbed you in your old age, I'm truly unfilial." But there were no tears to be seen, it had been so many years after all, and the pain had long since faded. Now they were just following local customs.
At this time, Lao Ye stood up and said: "Ninth Uncle, can this cave be used again?"
Ninth Uncle's eyes didn't leave the coffin as he said, "A dragonfly touches water once and then again, it definitely won't touch in the same position, this grave can't be used again."
Lao Lao's heart was in a mess again, and he said, "What can be done?" A pair of eyes stared tightly at Jiu Shu, eagerly awaiting an answer.
"I propose cremation on the spot."
"Cremation? No way!" Mr. Ren immediately raised his objection, saying: "My late father was most afraid of fire when he was alive, I cannot do this."
Bai Yu was secretly delighted at this moment. What a filial child! However, I like it. If he wasn't unfilial, how could I complete my task?
Ninth Uncle said, "But sir, not cremating will cause trouble." Master Ren insisted, "Anything is fine, just no cremation. You should think of another way."
"Alright, let's put off our mourning hall for tonight and find another burial site for the old master tomorrow so he can rest in peace," said Ninth Uncle with a sigh. As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Ah Wei shouted, "Cover the coffin and head back to the mourning hall!" The crowd then turned around and headed back.
At this time, Ninth Uncle first instructed Wenchai and Qiusheng to go burn incense, then pulled Baiyuluo to the back of the advancing team. Ninth Uncle said in a low voice to Baiyuluo: "Shidi, it seems like there will be trouble this time."
Bai Yu Xindao said, "I've long been clear about this. But he asked in a questioning tone, "Are you saying that Old Master Ren might become a zombie?"
Jiǔ shū yǎn shén zhī zhōng dài yǒu zàn tàn, dào: "bù cuò, kě pà jīn wǎn biàn huì shī biàn."
Translation:
Ninth Uncle's eyes were filled with admiration, and he said, "Not bad, but I'm afraid that tonight will be a disaster."
Bai Yu's eyebrows furrowed, saying: "It seems that the Ren family might be in trouble. A zombie wanting to become a true zombie will go to suck the first mouthful of fresh blood from their closest relatives. It looks like we must take good care of him."
"Not bad, and Lao Ye also doesn't want to be cremated, it's up to us." Ninth Uncle nodded solemnly.
As they spoke, they arrived at the Yi Zhuang. After entering, Bai Yu was led by Jiu Shu to the coffin chamber in the backyard. The two of them respectfully lit incense sticks in front of their ancestors' portraits and then sat down to drink tea. Suddenly, two cries for help came from afar, "Master is not well, not well!" In an instant, Qiu Sheng and Wen rushed in hastily.
His Ninth Uncle's eyebrows stood on end as he scolded, "What are you rushing around for?"
Wencai hastily took out the fragrant incense from his hand and panted: "Master... Master, look."
Ninth Uncle's eyebrows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again. He took the incense and sighed, "People fear three longs and two shorts, incense abhors two shorts and one long, yet it has burned into this shape. Alas, with such incense in our home, someone is bound to die. Tonight, only Master Brother and I must be extremely vigilant."
Qiu Sheng was somewhat displeased at this time, and he pulled Ninth Uncle's clothes, walking to the side and saying: "Master, this White Daoist looks like he might not even be older than me or Wen Cai, can we rely on him? I think his insight and magical powers may not necessarily surpass mine."
"Hey, you stinky brat! Do you think everyone in the world wants to be like you two? You're already so old and still haven't achieved anything in your cultivation. Your pitiful bit of magical power is only a fraction of what it should be after all these years. And as for you, Autumn Leaf, your literary talent is even more disappointing - only half of what it should be! Why do I want you to call White Feather 'Daozhang'? Can't you understand? Only when one's cultivation has reached a certain level can they truly deserve the title of Daozhang. You numbskull!" With that, he still felt somewhat unsatisfied and gave Autumn Leaf a whack on the head.
Qiu Sheng's heart was filled with incredulity at this moment, staring straight at Jiu Shu and saying: "How is that possible? Master, didn't you say that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce today, and to achieve something one must accumulate over the years?"
"Ah, yes, I did say that, but there are always exceptions to the rule. If one's talent is exceptional, then age doesn't matter. I didn't tell you all this before because I was afraid of shaking your confidence, but now I have a feeling that he has made tremendous progress. Just a few days ago, his cultivation level was only around 5 strands, but today it's definitely over 8 strands. He will definitely surpass me, his master, and may become a Grandmaster-level figure in the future." He then patted him on the shoulder and leaned in to say, "This is an opportunity, seize it well."
Qiu Sheng naturally understood Jiu Shu's meaning. In the past, wasn't a master-level figure the leader of a sect? If they could establish a good relationship now, they would absolutely benefit from it for the rest of their lives if nothing unexpected happened. So he let go of Jiu Shu and stood up straight, facing Bai Yu and saying: "Shifu, do you want to drink tea? I'll go pour some for you." The way he addressed him changed directly from Bai Daozhang to Shifu, and the other three people were all taken aback.
