I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

"Is this how all Taoist priests talk?"

Ren Tingting glanced at Uncle Jiu, who was chatting animatedly with her father.

She didn't understand any of the terms "funeral ceremony," "dragonfly skimming the water," or "cement roofing." Even when Uncle Jiu explained them to her, she was completely bewildered.

"It's just some technical terms; there's still a lot to learn."

"I see they've been studying for a long time, and they still don't know. Will they never finish learning even if they study until they die?"

Ren Tingting was initially very resistant to this kind of superstition, but after thinking about it, she realized that it could be considered a kind of tradition, and that it did require professionals to do it, so she was less resistant to it.

Not every Taoist priest is superstitious. For example, Bai Ye knows a lot of strange and unusual stories.

Picking up a fallen flower from the ground, Ren Tingting held it up in the sun and continued, "I want to learn so many things, but sometimes I feel like I can't do them. Sometimes I don't even know what I want, and I feel like life doesn't have much meaning."

Are you a literary youth?

A hint of doubt flashed through Bai Ye's mind.

Ren Tingting's mother died early, and her father rarely cared about her because of his business. Also because of the family business, Ren Tingting had to learn a lot of things, some of which she was interested in and some of which she was not.

She only felt a sense of purpose when she was studying.

Just like with makeup, after learning it, she would teach others, which gave her a sense of accomplishment, and that's why she keeps learning.

That's why she wasn't actually that averse to Taoist priests.

The reason she met him that day was because of Wencai's rudeness, and she wanted to punish him a little.

"It is impossible to learn everything in the world in a finite life. Tangible things will be destroyed sooner or later, while intangible things are eternal. Or they may not have any inherent meaning, but as long as you live, you can find interesting things, just like you discovered flowers and I discovered you."

As Bai Ye spoke, he glanced at Ren Tingting and continued, "You have a very good talent and should not be buried in a small town."

So, he wanted me to become a Taoist priest.

Ren Tingting had just thought Bai Ye was about to say something.

"I'm sorry, my father only has one daughter, so it's unlikely I'll become a Taoist priest."

Ren Tingting politely declined Bai Ye's suggestion. She lived alone and didn't really have much interest in Taoist priests.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to abandon everything here and follow Bai Ye up the mountain just because of Bai Ye's words.

"I can understand."

Bai Ye nodded and didn't say anything more. If the other party didn't want to cultivate, he could find someone else to go up the mountain.

The reason for choosing Ren Tingting was firstly because she was indeed quite talented, and secondly because he had seen the movie and knew her general personality. She wasn't the kind of person who would betray her master and ancestors. The thing that cultivators fear most is finding a disciple with bad intentions. Based on his impressions from the movie, Bai Ye naturally preferred to choose someone he already knew.

He was somewhat surprised, as he didn't seem to be much different from Orochimaru.

Why was Orochimaru able to abduct Kimimaro after saying those words, while I couldn't?

"Fellow Daoist, it seems the situation is not good!"

As for Uncle Nine, the coffin has already been exhumed, and Old Master Ren inside is clearly just one step away from becoming a zombie. He absorbed the energy of the surrounding people today, and it won't be long before he becomes a zombie.

Previously, Uncle Nine suggested burning it down, but Master Ren refused, and now the situation there can't be changed.

"As for zombies, I feel it might be better to let them out."

"?"

Uncle Nine looked at Bai Ye in disbelief.

no? !

You knew it was a zombie, yet you still let it out?

"Reburying them won't save the zombies; they might still reappear later. So I feel it's better to just eliminate them directly!"

I really don't understand. If you know the other person is going to become a zombie, why bury them?

If you bury it underground, you can indeed rely on feng shui and set up Taoist rituals around the coffin to slowly dissipate the zombie's spirit in the ground, and then turn it back into an ordinary corpse.

"But the risk is too great, and Master Ren won't allow me to burn the body."

Although Uncle Nine really wanted to burn it, Master Ren was his client.

Putting aside Master Ren's influence in Renjia Town, the fact that I recklessly burned the other party's father's body without his permission means that no one in Renjia Town will likely come to me for help in the future.

"What I mean is, let Old Master Ren come out directly. The two of us will follow him. The first thing he'll do when he comes out is go to the Ren residence. Once Old Master Ren sees that his father has turned into a zombie, he'll definitely make us kill him."

"Furthermore, brother, don't you think that the feng shui master who asked Master Ren to exhume his coffin twenty years ago might have wanted to kill off Master Ren and his entire family? What if you bury him again, and then they dig him up again? Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"

Bai Ye's words instantly reminded Uncle Nine.

Yup!

If the goal was simply to bring misfortune to the Ren family, there would be no way they would have reminded Master Ren to dig up the coffin twenty years later.

Old Master Ren died with a breath stuck in his throat, something the feng shui master couldn't possibly have been unaware of, and yet he used this method to ensure Old Master Ren couldn't rest in peace for twenty years.

Over the past twenty years, Old Master Ren's resentment has only intensified, and coupled with the extremely yin nature of this back mountain, it is absolutely breeding zombies.

First, let the Ren family suffer misfortune for twenty years, and then let the entire Ren family die out twenty years later.

This method

Uncle Nine couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Fellow Daoist is right. I did overlook that point. If the Feng Shui master intends to continue his revenge, then it might be better to just eliminate the zombie directly!"

Burying Old Master Ren might indeed cause hidden dangers, so it's better to listen to Bai Ye's solution to eliminate future troubles!

"But we must prevent zombies from harming people, otherwise the responsibility will fall on our shoulders!"

If the zombies sucked human blood and harmed innocent people, and this was part of their plan, then they will be held responsible.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I will keep an eye on the zombie as it makes its way to Master Ren's house. However, it would be even better if Master Ren could come to the mortuary to watch over it."

Actually, compared to the Ren family, Bai Ye wanted Master Ren to come directly to the mortuary and watch his father come out. At that time, he probably wouldn't stop him anymore.

"That's unlikely. What would Master Ren be doing at the mortuary so late at night?"

"Let's eat. Tonight, Old Master Ren will turn into a zombie, and Master Ren's presence at the mortuary is clearly accelerating that process. We can just use the meat dishes; Master Ren has never tried them before. How about we invite him over?"

This way, all accidents can be avoided, and one's own relatives are here. Old Master Ren will definitely appear, as he doesn't have any intelligence at this stage.

He is now obeying his instincts.

"Forget it, I'll just go and tell them directly, otherwise Master Ren will think we're heretics!"

Bai Ye felt it was better to just confront Master Ren directly.

There's nothing wrong with saying it; after all, it wasn't them who turned Old Master Ren into a zombie.

"Fellow Daoist, wait for me!"

Uncle Nine quickly followed Bai Ye's steps.

After catching up with Master Ren, Bai Ye glanced at the sedan bearers around him and said, "Master Ren, may I say a few words?"

"it is good."

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Ren agreed. He had a good impression of the young man in front of him.

After dismissing the others, Master Ren looked at Bai Ye and asked, "Master Bai, do you have anything to say?"

"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point. Mr. Ren, you must have seen Old Master Ren's body just now, right?"

"Is that so? What's wrong?"

A strange look flashed in Master Ren's eyes. He then glanced at Uncle Jiu and thought to himself, "Could it be that he's here to persuade me to burn my father again?"

He definitely won't agree.

"Then tonight, Master Ren, Old Master Ren will become a zombie. I know you must think what I'm saying is absurd, but tonight, Master Ren, you can come with us to the mortuary for just one night. If nothing happens, I will apologize and compensate you for your losses, how about that?"

After Bai Ye finished speaking, a hint of anger flashed across Master Ren's face. What kind of good person would be told that their father would turn into a zombie?

He wanted to utter a few curse words, but he held them back.

"Master Bai, I respect you, but you shouldn't utter such curses, should you?"

"You know in your heart whether Master Ren is cursed or not. The matter of the feng shui master is not over yet. Tonight, we will treat you to dinner at the mortuary. We will watch over it while we eat. It will only take one night. How about it?"

"Also, I must remind you, Mr. Ren, that if a zombie wakes up, its first instinct will be to seek out its relatives and suck their blood."

Bai Ye's plan succeeded.

It would be impossible for Mr. Ren not to be worried!

"Fine, if it weren't for that Master Bai, you would have to apologize to me personally with great ceremony!!"

Actually, Mr. Ren did believe it to some extent, mainly because he had had too much bad luck for the past twenty years.

After Uncle Jiu's explanation, he believed it. The fact that his father hadn't changed much in twenty years made Master Ren even more afraid.

Besides, he spent the entire night watching while eating.

If there are no problems, then he can rest assured, and he can have Bai Ye apologize to him later.

If there are any problems, Uncle Nine and Bai Ye will be there to watch over things.

According to Bai Ye, the idea that zombies immediately seek out their relatives by drinking blood is indeed a folk belief.

"No way?"

Ren Tingting thought about what would happen if her grandfather's face turned into a zombie when she saw it back then.

"Tingting, come with me. We might have to bother Uncle Jiu tonight."

"No problem!"

Uncle Nine visibly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Master Ren's agreement.

After all, having Master Ren here would indeed minimize the danger.

"Uncle, I'll bring the security team with me to protect you. I don't believe in this kind of thing. I'm afraid some people are trying to take advantage of my cousin by exploiting these suspicions!"

Ah Wei has been smart since he was a child.

He thought to himself that Bai Ye was really cunning, but the clever Captain Awei would not let Bai Ye succeed!
