Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

It's funny, really. The only rouge shop in Luoying Town is right across from the only brothel in Luoying Town. The owner of this shop is really clever!

Coincidentally, the shop owner was Qiu Sheng's aunt. Today, Qiu Sheng didn't go to the mortuary but instead helped his aunt look after the shop. Before leaving, his aunt said that the girl from the Yihong Courtyard across the street would come to buy rouge later.

Lin Yaoxie accompanied Ren Tingting as they strolled through the streets, searching for a rouge shop. After all, neither of them was familiar with Luoying Town; one had just arrived in this world, and the other had spent most of her life in another province and was equally unfamiliar with it.

Since she didn't know, she decided to ask. She met a middle-aged woman and asked her, eventually learning that the rouge shop was just seven or eight meters ahead.

Lin Yaoxie had no idea that this woman was Qiusheng's aunt.

The two then headed towards the rouge shop.

As soon as the two entered the rouge shop, Lin Yaoxie saw Qiu Sheng. He wasn't surprised at all, since he had seen the movie.

But Qiu Sheng was quite surprised when he saw Lin Yaoxie. Then, as if realizing something, he looked at Lin Yaoxie with an ambiguous expression and clicked his tongue, saying, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother is also one of us!"

"Huh??" Lin Yaoxie was slightly taken aback. What was going on? But he immediately realized that Qiu Sheng, just like in the movies, had mistaken Ren Tingting for a prostitute from the Yihong Courtyard across the street.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie said irritably, "You're overthinking it. This is Master Ren's daughter, who just returned from the provincial capital."

"Uh." Qiu Sheng was embarrassed upon hearing this, and said with a wry smile, "Oh, it's Miss Ren. What kind of rouge do you want to buy?"

……

After buying the rouge, Ren Fa, Uncle Jiu, and Wen Cai came over. When they saw Lin Yaoxie and Ren Tingting come out of the rouge shop, the three of them had strange expressions.

Ren Fa just smiled and didn't care. Of course, this was only because Lin Yaoxie was a handsome, charming, and capable person. Try replacing him with a loser.

Uncle Nine smiled with satisfaction.

As for Wencai? He wore a bitter expression and stopped looking at Ren Tingting. Although he liked looking at beautiful women, he knew right from wrong. He was still very principled. Since his senior brother had made the first move, he decided not to think about it anymore.

As for why all three of them felt that Lin Yaoxie was pursuing Ren Tingting?

because……

Ren Tingting had one arm linked with Lin Yaoxie's arm!

Ren Tingting herself didn't even notice or react to this action; in fact, she was completely unaware that she had made it. It was definitely subconscious body language, which, in psychological terms, represents trust and affection!

"Dad, Uncle Jiu." Ren Tingting called out to two of the three people, then subconsciously looked at Lin Yaoxie. When she saw that she was actually holding Lin Yaoxie's arm, her pretty face turned red, like a tender little apple.

Chapter Twenty: Lifting the Coffin and Opening the Altar!

P.S.: I've found that when I follow the original work, I don't know how to write anymore. Sigh, this chapter is so difficult to write.

---------------------------------------

Lin Yaoxie walked up to Uncle Jiu as if nothing had happened.

“In that case, I’ll go back and prepare my things. See you tomorrow morning.” Uncle Nine and Ren Fa had already discussed everything. All that was left was to go back and prepare some things so that they could start construction early tomorrow morning.

Ren Fa smiled and nodded, then left with Ren Tingting.

The group returned to the mortuary.

Wen Cai was assigned to clean, while Lin Yaoxie was brought to the inner hall by Uncle Jiu to prepare the things needed for tomorrow's ritual.

Relocation of a grave requires a ritual, including setting up an altar, in order to move the body; otherwise, it will disturb the spirit of the deceased.

"Help me prepare everything I need for setting up the altar," Uncle Nine said to Lin Yaoxie without turning his head, as he drew talismans with a talisman brush.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoxie went to make preparations. A ritual altar requires many things, such as the Three Pure Ones Emperor Bell, or a peach wood sword, talismans, a gavel, ghost money, millet, water, chicken blood, incense, candles, and so on.

It took Lin Yaoxie a full half hour to prepare all of these things.

in this way.

One night passed.

……

the next day.

morning.

On a misty mountain peak, a group of people stood around a tomb. Most of them were servants of the Ren family and members of the Luoying Town security team, all dressed in uniform.

At the very back of the group, closest to the tomb, were Uncle Nine, Ren Fa, Ren Tingting, and others.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain peak was Lin Yaoxie, dressed in a white robe, carrying a peach wood sword on his back, and with a coin sword tucked diagonally at his waist.

"The feng shui here is indeed excellent; no wonder so many people bury their graves here," Lin Yaoxie said to himself, carefully examining his surroundings with his Bagua compass in hand.

This mountain has the best feng shui, so naturally many people bury their graves here. You can easily find graves everywhere on the mountain, and there are even many ossuaries.

"Senior brother, Master is calling you." At this moment, Wen Cai ran over and shouted to Lin Yaoxie.

Lin Yaoxie nodded slightly and put away the compass. He moved swiftly, like a dragonfly skimming the water. He lightly touched the ground with his right foot and flew like a breeze, arriving at the tomb in the blink of an eye.

Pushing aside the security guards and servants, Lin Yaoxie slowly walked up to Uncle Nine and asked in confusion, "Uncle, is there something you need me for?"

"In your opinion, what kind of tomb do you think this is?" Uncle Nine asked with a smile.

Lin Yaoxie was slightly taken aback, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the tomb. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and calculated the feng shui. After a while, he said to Uncle Jiu, "The Dragonfly Skimming Water Tomb should be a good burial site, but it is covered with yang ash instead of snowflakes. This burial site is ruined."

“That’s right. Old Master Ren’s grave is a ‘dragonfly skimming water’ burial site, which is a traditional burial method, but it doesn’t make sense. First, there should be water on the head of the coffin for a ‘dragonfly skimming water’ burial site, and second, there should be snowflakes covering the top. This burial site is ruined. How can you skim water twice after just one spot?” Uncle Nine said calmly.

Lin Yaoxie smiled. Of course he knew that this burial site was snatched from the feng shui master by Old Master Ren back then, and he was so stupid as to let that feng shui master perform a ritual.

"This feng shui master still has a conscience. He told you to exhume and relocate the coffin in twenty years. He'll ruin half your life, not your whole life, but one generation, not eighteen generations!" Uncle Nine said to Ren Fa beside him in annoyance.

Ren Fa smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.

Uncle Nine shook his head and sighed, then mentioned some taboos about lifting the coffin, telling those who did not meet the requirements to turn away.

Then.

The servants of the Ren family began to dig for the coffin. Before long, they found the head of the coffin, and several other people immediately brought some tools to pull the coffin up.

"Open the coffin!" With Uncle Nine's command, the servants were preparing to open the coffin lid when...

"Quack quack..."

The harsh, piercing cawing of crows rang out, and seven or eight crows flew out of the woods.

Uncle Nine frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

As the coffin lid was opened, Uncle Nine led everyone forward to take a look, and Ren Fa and Ren Tingting immediately knelt on the ground.

Lin Yaoxie frowned as he looked at the corpse lying in the coffin. More than twenty years had passed, yet it had not decomposed. The body was perfectly preserved. If it weren't for the pungent stench of the corpse, it would be hard to tell that this was a dead person.

Uncle Nine raised an eyebrow slightly. He understood what was going on. It was clearly a case of a zombie turning into a zombie. If it were buried in a grave, it would be fine, but it would only harm his own descendants.

But once the coffin was unearthed, things went terribly wrong. This uncorrupted corpse was bound to turn into a zombie. Thinking of this, Uncle Nine couldn't help but smile bitterly. That feng shui master wasn't kind-hearted; he was ruthless. He not only wanted the Ren family to decline, but also to be destroyed and wiped out!

"Uncle Jiu, this tomb can't be used anymore, what should we do?" Ren Fa stood up from the ground and asked.

Uncle Nine frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Mr. Ren, I suggest we cremate him on the spot!"

"No, that won't do. My late father was most afraid of fire. Everything else is fine, but cremation is not an option!" Ren Fa immediately shook his head and refused. What a joke! It's already unfilial to disturb one's deceased father, and now cremation is out of the question.

Uncle Nine opened his mouth, then sighed inwardly. He knew that Ren Fa could not be cremated no matter what, so he changed his mind and said, "Then let's take him to the mortuary first."

"Alright." Ren Fa thought for a moment and nodded. As long as he wasn't cremated, he was fine with anything. He immediately ordered his servants to cover the coffin and carry it to the mortuary.

However, at this moment, Lin Yaoxie stopped the servant's actions, then took out a talisman from his pocket, shook it slightly, and with a bang, the talisman turned into ashes in mid-air and landed in his palm.

"What is this?" Ren Fa looked at Lin Yaoxie's actions with great confusion.

Uncle Nine was taken aback at first, but then nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's nothing."

Lin Yaoxie sprinkled the talisman ash on Old Master Ren's corpse, covering the entire area before instructing the servants to close the coffin lid.

"What are you doing, Brother Lin?" Ren Tingting, who hadn't spoken until now, asked in confusion, dressed simply but looking even more pure and beautiful.

Lin Yaoxie smiled and said, "Let's send our condolences to Old Master Ren and let him rest in peace."

"Oh." Ren Tingting nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

This is a special technique; if the corpse in the coffin turns into a zombie, the ashes of the talismans will warn the caster.

Chapter Twenty-One: Taboo! [Bonus Chapter Tomorrow]

[I had things to do yesterday and today, so there's only one update today. There will be five updates tomorrow, so please forgive me!]

So it wasn't for the sacrificial offering that Lin Yaoxie had told Ren Tingting; rather, it served a different purpose. However, Lin Yaoxie couldn't say much more to Ren Tingting.

Uncle Nine then had the servants of the Ren family carry the coffin down the mountain to the mortuary. Before leaving, he instructed Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai to offer incense at the grave and at other graves as well.

Breaking ground can disturb the dead, so naturally one should offer incense and prayers to put their minds at ease.

Lin Yaoxie naturally had no time to offer incense to these dead people; if necessary, he would simply kill them. So he followed Ren Tingting down the mountain and unexpectedly discovered that Ren Tingting's cousin, Awei, the security captain of Luoying Town, was very dissatisfied with him, Lin.

However, Lin Yaoxie was too lazy to pay attention to it. He naturally knew that Awei was dissatisfied with him because of Tingting. After all, Awei had been eyeing Ren Tingting, only to find that Ren Tingting had a good impression of another man.

Of course, Awei was dissatisfied, but Lin Yaoxie didn't care. However, if Awei dared to offend him, Lin Yaoxie would let Awei know what death was!

……

Charity home.

Lin Yaoxie and Uncle Jiu had just arrived home when Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng rushed back in a hurry.

"Master, look at this incense stick, why is it burned like this?" Wencai asked Uncle Jiu, holding up the incense stick that had burned into two pieces.

When Uncle Nine, who had just returned to rest, saw the incense stick, his face immediately turned grim. After a long while, he said in a low voice, "People fear three long and two short, and incense fears two short and one long. If this incense is found in a house, someone will surely die!"

Upon hearing this, the goofy Wencai asked, "Whose house is it?"

"Could it be this?" Uncle Nine glared at Wen Cai with annoyance. This incredibly stupid disciple was giving him a real headache.

Wen Cai quickly shut his mouth and dared not say anything more.

"Uncle-Master, you mean the Ren family?" Lin Yaoxie thought for a moment and then said. It must be the Ren family. After all, although Wen Cai and the other person were doing the incense burning today, it was for the Ren family, so naturally these incense sticks belonged to the Ren family.

Uncle Nine sighed and nodded, saying, "When Old Master Ren was born today, I had a bad feeling. When I saw the body, I felt that something unexpected was bound to happen, but I never thought that burning incense today would end like this. The Ren family is doomed!"

"Master, is there anything strange about Old Master Ren's body? Although I also find it strange that it hasn't decomposed at all after more than 20 years." At this moment, Qiu Sheng asked his question.

Uncle Nine did not answer immediately, but looked at Lin Yaoxie and said, "Why don't you tell your junior brother?"

"Everyone has a breath. The living fight for a breath, while the dead need to let go of their breath. If this breath does not dissipate after death, it will undergo a corpse transformation after being nurtured in the underworld. The body will become very stiff and will not decompose until it sees the light of day again, at which point it will truly become a zombie!" Lin Yaoxie nodded slightly and said.

Upon hearing this...
