Eight, zombie out of coffin

  Eight, Zombie out of coffin

  The rooster crows at dawn, the white feather is still asleep, but Wen Cai has already come knocking on the door.

  "Master, open the door! Master wants to see you." The knocking on the door woke up Bai Yu from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes and opened them dazedly, yawned, and then got out of bed to open the door. Outside, he saw Wen Cai looking cautious, which made him a bit surprised. But after thinking for a moment, he understood the reason. It seemed that both brothers now regarded him as a potential stock. He didn't mind and asked Wen Cai, "Do you know what it's about?"

  Wencai shook his head and said, "Not very clear, it should be about finding a burial site, I suppose?"

  "Oh," Bai Yu also understood, it should be the problem of Lao Ye's funeral. So he first sent away Wen Cai, then tidied up the room, put on his clothes, and followed to the living room, just seeing Jiu Shu watching a map.

  He walked up and came before Ninth Uncle, saying: "Has Big Brother found a suitable place?"

  Jiǔ shū kàn dào bái yǔ tā zhàn qǐ shēn lái, diǎn le diǎn tóu dào: "bù cuò, shì zhǎo dào le yī gè hǎo xué, nǐ kàn."

  Translation:

  Ninth Uncle saw White Feather and stood up, nodding his head and saying: "Not bad, you've found a good cave, look."

  Bai Yu took a look and found that it was almost the same place as the original tomb, and couldn't help but exclaim: "That Dragonfly Water Hole has moved to this place?"

  Ninth Uncle nodded and said, "That's right. It's the Dragonfly Water Cave. Today we'll go to Old Man Ren's place to discuss the burial matter. The sooner we bury him, the sooner people can rest at ease." Although Bai Yu was somewhat displeased in her heart, she nodded on the surface and echoed, "That's right."

  Then the four of them, along with Qiusheng and his wife, arrived at the Ren residence. The servant led them to the main hall, where they saw Master Ren chatting with Police Chief Ah Wei over tea. As soon as he spotted the group entering, Master Ren hastily set aside his conversation with Ah Wei and stepped forward to greet them, saying: "Ninth Uncle, White Daoist, you've arrived! But I'm not sure what brings you here?"

  Bai Yu and several others hastily returned the courtesy, and Ninth Uncle said: "Mr. Ren, we have come today to discuss with you the matter of the grave."

  Ren Lao Ye smiled and said: "Let's go upstairs and talk, Bai Dao Chang, Jiu Shu, please come up."

  Bai Yu and Jiu Shu hastily said: "No need to be polite." The three of them left the others downstairs and went up to the second floor.

  Upon arriving upstairs, Master Ren first instructed the servant to pour tea and then asked eagerly: "Ninth Uncle, how does that cave compare to the previous Dragonfly Water Cave?" After all, it was related to his own and future generations' fate, so he naturally had to be extremely concerned.

  Jiū Shū smiled and said, "Has Lord Ren ever remembered that I previously mentioned that the dragonfly's water hole cannot be pointed at the same place?"

  Mr. Ren nodded and said, "Of course I remember, Ninth Uncle said it was like a dragonfly touching water, one touch after another, not in the same position."

  Ninth Uncle said, "That's right. So I took a look at the terrain around that grave and found that it is now in a desolate area not far from the old hole, just waiting for a good day to bury it." After all, the Dragonfly Water Hole is a very good hole. The Dragonfly Water Hole is also called "Hidden Dragon Hole" or "Lonely Dragon Hole". If our ancestors were buried in this hole, they would definitely have a prosperous family and wealth that would last for generations. If not for that feng shui master who didn't have good intentions, perhaps the Ren family's wealth would already be the richest in Hong Kong by now.

  "However, this time we must ask clearly whose land this is, and we cannot intimidate the owner."

  Mr. Ren hastily replied, somewhat awkwardly: "How can that be, how can that be." However, at this moment, a loud cry of surprise from Ren Tingting suddenly came from downstairs. Mr. Ren's face changed and he threw down the two men, hurrying to run downstairs.

  Bai Yujiu didn't stop either, and hurriedly followed up. The three of them arrived at the staircase entrance, where they saw Ren Tingting rushing up quickly, with Ah Wei following closely behind her, looking like he was about to go crazy and strip off his clothes. Ren Tingting rushed in front of Old Master Ren, grabbing his arm like a frightened rabbit, shouting "Dad, save me!" Her face was deathly pale, and she was on the verge of tears.

  Lao Lai's eyes were about to pop out, revealing a thread of anger and incredulity. Was this Ah Wei going to resort to force just because I disagreed with him dating Tingting?

  At this time, Ah Wei was holding onto the railing with an uncontrolled sway, her face twisted in pain as she sobbed: "Aunt's husband, I want to drink tea." It seemed that the blow she received was not small.

  At this time, Bai Yu and the other person knew that it was Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng who were playing tricks. The two of them ran downstairs to the door and saw Qiu Sheng sneaking around, while Wen Cai stood behind him with his clothes in hand, bare-chested. Jiu Shu couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart, and his eyes widened as he was about to lose his temper. Qiu Sheng quickly turned around and ran away, but Wen Cai was caught red-handed by Jiu Shu.

  "You two little rascals are always causing trouble." He summoned a thread of magical power and punched Wen Cai in the stomach, forcing out the talisman, and then dragged him by the ear towards the Justice Manor.

  Wencai shouted in pain, "Master uncle save me!" However, Bai Yu seemed to have not heard him at all, humming a tune as he followed behind with his two eyes darting around wildly, unaffected.

  Mr. Ren, who was also unclear about the truth, was comforting his daughter on one hand and scolding Ah Wei on the other.

  Back at the Yi Zhuang, Ninth Uncle originally wanted to take good care of them, but with these two slippery guys, it was impossible to wait for them to make a move. As soon as they arrived in the living room, Ninth Uncle had just opened his mouth when Autumn gave him a cup of tea, and the two of them were several times more diligent than usual. Autumn escaped back to his room after a while, citing helping out as an excuse, and Wen Cai also ran off, saying he needed to cook dinner, leaving Ninth Uncle helpless. After Wen Cai finished cooking dinner, they ate and then went to take a nap. But Bai Yu was not willing to waste any time, and before Ninth Uncle left, he spoke up about his current shortage, but didn't expect Ninth Uncle to be so generous, taking out many good things. All sorts of magical instruments, including the compass that Bai Yu needed, and almost all the other instruments that Bai Yu could use at this stage were not lacking, and in the end, he even took out the secret manual of Mao Shan that he had been keeping hidden.

  Bai Yu's heart was clear that this was another kind of karma for Jiu Shu, but even if he were to crack his head open, he wouldn't be able to guess Bai Yu's intentions. This karma was destined to remain unsettled.

  This book of Mao Shan secret skills is indeed a rare and precious book, the techniques and methods recorded in it make Bai Yu feel like he can't keep up with his eyes. Various talismans, equipment, and array methods are all detailed! However, it's strange to say that Bai Yu only browsed through this book once, but it seems like he has engraved all the contents inside, and he actually remembers everything!

  Is this related to the system again? Did they also modify their heads when they modified their qualifications? Shaking his head, he didn't think about it anymore. To be able to use it, just remembering it was not enough, and he had to practice diligently to master the rules of spellcasting, grasp every detail, and memorize each incantation so that it felt natural to say them out loud. At that time, when his magical powers reached a certain level, he could enter the second stage of casting spells without incantations.

  Bai Yu didn't delay any longer, ran to the street and bought a lot of cinnabar, yellow paper, brushes and other materials to practice the most effective talismans for increasing his strength at the initial stage. Drawing talismans is not as simple as it seems, to draw good talismans requires one's control over magic power to reach a level where every stroke and every line cannot have any mistakes.

  However, these seemed to be no big problem for Bai Yu. After about an hour of getting familiar with it, he grasped the skills. Later on, his drawing became more and more fluent, repeatedly transforming into a machine, with one stroke of his brush, a talisman was formed under his hand. He gradually sank into it, and at dinner time, he didn't go to eat again, unknowingly the sky had already darkened, and Bai Yu's room was filled with yellow talismans everywhere. When the materials were used up, Bai Yu also stopped, looking at those yellow talismans, a satisfied smile appeared on his mouth, and then, regardless of anything else, he walked to the bedside with a shaking body, fell on it and started snoring loudly. A day's practice had indeed consumed a lot of mental energy.

  At this time, in the coffin house of Yizhuang, the zombie was not honest again. Yesterday, after being shot by chicken blood and ink, it learned a lesson and no longer stretched out its hand to remove the lid. It just shook violently, the coffin that had been buried underground for twenty years creaked under the strain, the zombie's strength gradually increased, and the coffin responded with an even louder noise. Finally, with a loud "crash", it burst open.

  A classic zombie figure dressed in Qing dynasty official attire stood up straight from the pile of rubble. It hopped out of the Yi Manor and headed straight for the Ren family home. At this time, both Ninth Uncle and Bai Yu had noticed the situation, but Ninth Uncle thought that Wen was just not sleeping well, while Bai Yu didn't even think to take a look.

  When Bai Yu had just gained his powers, he was remade with a seven-point physique. Now that his powers have grown to around ten threads, his physique has also become more than twice that of a normal person. His senses are naturally extremely sensitive, and he is deliberately paying attention to the situation in the coffin room. The moment the zombie emerged, he felt it, knowing that it was going to kill Old Man Ren. However, he didn't make any moves. It wasn't because he didn't want to intervene, but because if the zombie didn't go and kill Old Man Ren, it wouldn't become a true zombie. If it didn't become a true zombie, Bai Yu wouldn't be able to complete his task, and failing to complete his task would result in punishment. This was what Bai Yu learned after asking the system - the penalty for failure would be to reset everything he had gained in this world to zero. Bai Yu wasn't noble enough to sacrifice himself for someone unrelated to him, let alone a character from a movie.

  According to the Mao Shan secret art, after a person dies, they often retain some memories from when they were alive, with the most lingering being those of their loved ones. Therefore, when a dead person becomes a zombie, the first person they attack is often their own family member. After killing their own family member, the zombie will completely forget its life as a human and its corpse nature will replace its human nature, causing chaos and harming people everywhere.
