If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 104 Mr. Zombie
Space-time transformation.

Renjia Town.

To the west of the town, in the backyard of Yizhuang.

Ding Xiu sat at the stone table, holding a yellowed thread-bound book in his hand and reading it with gusto.

This is not a little yellow book like Mei or Monk. There are four big characters on the cover: Maoshan Secret Technique.

After leaving the world of Ghost Blowing Lantern, Ding Xiu first returned to the real world and spent a few days in the library.

After that, they went back to the world of Xiuchundao and the world of Tianlongbabu respectively.

After all, he also misses Queen Zhang, Li Qingluo and other beauties.

Not long after, Uncle Jiu walked out of the house with his hands behind his back. He had gray hair, unibrows, and a mustache. He looked a bit weathered, yet energetic.

Hearing a slight cough, Ding Xiu couldn't help but stand up and say hello: "Uncle Ninth..."

"Sit!" Uncle Jiu walked up with a smile and said with emotion: "If only Qiu Sheng and Wen could catch up with you half..."

Having said this, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Speaking of those two precious apprentices, Uncle Jiu really had a headache. After following him for so many years, he didn't learn much about his skills. Instead, he got into a lot of troubles. Every time, he, the master, had to step in to wipe the mess.

"Uncle Ninth, thank you..." Ding Xiu said modestly.

"There's a lot of war and chaos outside now. If you don't have anywhere to go, why not stay in Yizhuang? At least you'll have food and clothing..."

The reason why Ding Xiu appears in Yizhuang is because when he traveled to this world, he automatically had an identity: a fellow scholar.

According to the system description, the Uncle Jiu series that traveled through this time is not a fused world, but relatively independent small worlds.

We are currently in the world of the movie "Mr. Zombie".

In fact, even if Uncle Jiu didn't say anything, Ding Xiu would also take the initiative to bring it up. Since Uncle Jiu took the initiative to speak, he naturally followed the trend and said, "Thank you so much, Uncle Jiu."

"Haha..." Uncle Jiu smiled happily: "In the future, stay with me and learn more and read more. If you don't understand anything, just ask."

Maoshan is good at magic, which happens to be Ding Xiu's shortcomings, so he naturally has to study hard.

This morning, Ding Xiu had nothing to do and went for a walk on the street.

Suddenly, a loud roar came from my ears: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the horse is startled..."

In an instant, the street was in chaos, with roars, running, cursing, and crying coming one after another.

A woman about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a western skirt, saw a horse pulling a carriage madly and ran towards the street in fright.

Unexpectedly, I was so anxious that my skirt was so long and I was wearing a pair of high heels. As soon as I took a step, my feet swayed and I fell to the ground.

At this time, the frightened horse had already dragged the carriage and rushed towards them.

The old man driving the car was so frightened that he chased with all his strength and shouted loudly.

"what……"

Seeing that the carriage was about to rush in front of the woman, there was a burst of exclamations in the street.

Many people either closed their eyes or turned their heads, unable to bear to see the horse trampling on the human body and blood splattering.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly ran to the woman's side. No one could see clearly what was going on. The woman had been dragged away a few steps.

The frightened horse dragged the empty carriage past, raising a cloud of dust.

"Miss, it's all right."

Ding Xiu comforted the woman, then ran a few steps, grabbed the rope and pulled it hard...

"咴~"

The frightened horse was actually pulled up and let out a long neigh with its front hooves, and the carriage also stopped.

"Sigh~"

There was a gasping sound from all around.

How much strength does it take to stop a frightened horse?
Could it be that the Overlord of Chu appears?
The old man driving the car was also stunned, and then he ran forward panting heavily and bowed to express his thanks.

"Watch your horse."

Ding Xiu frowned and said something, then turned around and saw that the woman was still sitting on the ground, her face pale and looking like she was in shock.

In fact, Ding Xiu knew her, Ren Tingting, the famous Ren Fa in Renjia Town, the precious daughter of Master Ren's family.

Ding Xiu stepped forward and said, "Miss, it's okay."

Ren Tingting's eyes turned red and she cried: "Thank you for saving me, but... I... my foot is sprained and I can't stand up."

"So that's it, let me help you up first..."

A kind-hearted aunt raised her finger and pointed: "Young man, there is a wrestling gym not far ahead."

"Thank you!"

So, Ding Xiu helped Ren Tingting to the wrestling hall.

Unfortunately, the doctor who was sitting in the hall was away on a medical visit, and there was only one clerk looking after the shop.

"If you two can't wait, why don't you try another one?"

"No need!" Ding Xiu waved his hand: "Bring some wine, I'll do it myself."

In fact, with his current ability, how can a minor sprain be treated with alcohol?It's just a cover-up.

Next, Ding Xiu helped Ren Tingting to the back hall, lifted up her skirt, held her calf with one hand, and gently kneaded and rubbed it with the other...

Ren Tingting looked shy and had nothing to say: "Um... you... how could you use so much strength to... stop that frightened horse all at once?"

"Haha, I have practiced martial arts before, so I am a little stronger than the average person."

"By the way, my name is Ren Tingting, what's your name?"

"It turns out to be Miss Ren, my name is Ding Xiu."

"Are you also from Renjia Town?"

Ding Xiu shook his head: "No, I'm staying with Uncle Jiu temporarily..."

"Uncle Ninth?" Ren Tingting looked surprised: "What a coincidence. My father said that in a few days, Uncle Ninth will be asked to bury my grandfather..."

After a while, Ding Xiu let go and said, "Okay, Miss Ren, try walking on the ground."

"Oh~"

Ren Tingting responded, then carefully turned her ankle...it seemed that it no longer hurt.

After putting on my shoes and walking a few steps, I couldn't help but look surprised: "That's great, thank you so much."

Ding Xiu smiled and waved his hand: "It's just a trivial matter, Miss Ren, don't be polite..."

In the afternoon of the same day, Ren Fa personally came to the door with gifts to express his gratitude. By the way, he also discussed with Uncle Jiu about the relocation and burial of Mr. Ren.

"Uncle Jiu, I told you last time about my late father's coffin removal and burial. I wonder if Uncle Jiu chose an auspicious day?"

Uncle Jiu said solemnly: "Mr. Ren, I advise you to think carefully about moving a grave. It is always better to move than to remain silent, unless you are forced to do so."

Ren Fa smiled: "Uncle Jiu, this is what happened. At that time, the Feng Shui master who buried his late father Zhang Luo was named Luo, and his name seemed to be Luo Sanping.

At that time, he said that the coffin must be lifted up and buried in 20 years, so that it would be good for our Ren family..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Cai couldn't help but said: "How can you believe Mr. Feng Shui's words? He's full of words..."

"cough!"

Uncle Jiu couldn't help coughing heavily and glared at Wencai fiercely.

"Uh..." Wencai came back to his senses and quickly covered his mouth.

Speaking of which, Uncle Jiu often does Feng Shui for others. Wouldn't this be a slap in Uncle Jiu's face?

Fortunately, Ren Fa didn't take Wen Cai's words to heart. After all, Uncle Jiu was highly respected in Ren's town, and all the villagers trusted and respected him. Both adults and children affectionately called him Uncle Jiu.

"Master Ren, if that's the case, then I'll choose a lucky day and let you know in advance."

Master Ren's face lit up with joy, he cupped his hands and said, "That's great! Thank you Uncle Jiu!"

"You're welcome!"

"If that's nothing, I'll take my leave first..."

Before leaving, Ren Fa thanked Ding Xiu again.

He had heard many people talk about what happened during the day. The situation at that time was indeed quite dangerous. If Ding Xiu hadn't pulled Ren Tingting away in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Ren Fa is such a precious daughter, if something happens to her... he may not be able to bear the blow.

Two days later, Uncle Jiu chose an auspicious day for Master Ren to be buried, and ordered Ding Xiu to go to the Ren Mansion to inform Master Ren.

Renfu.

Ren Fa was sitting in the living room drinking tea, and there was a man wearing glasses sitting next to him.

This person is Ren Tingting's cousin, the captain of Renjia Town's security team: Ah Wei.

"Uncle cousin, cousin Tingting is quite old..."

Ah Wei was holding the tea cup, but his eyes kept glancing at his cousin who was concentrating on arranging flowers at the dining table, and said something with ulterior motives.

Ren Fa replied smoothly: "Yes, he is not young."

"It's time for her to get married..."

"Yeah, it's time to get married..."

Ren Fa responded nonchalantly, but secretly sneered in his heart: The toad wants to eat swan meat?

How could he not guess Awei's thoughts in his heart, but there was no way he would marry his daughter to such an unlearned guy.

If it weren't for him, how could Ah Wei become the captain of the security team?
Upon hearing what his cousin said, Awei felt happy and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to express his feelings in person.

"So, uncle cousin, I think..."

Unexpectedly, the housekeeper walked in at this time and whispered to Ren Fa: "Master, Uncle Ninth sent a young man over to talk about the relocation and burial of the old man..."

"Oh?" Ren Fa stood up immediately: "Quick, invite him in."

"Yes, sir!"

The butler turned and walked out.

Ah Wei felt his teeth itching with hatred, and finally felt unwilling to give in. He once again shamelessly said: "Uncle, I want to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ren Fa said, "You want to drink tea? Just pour it yourself."

"No, cousin, I still want to..."

At this time, Ding Xiu walked in and cupped his hands towards Master Ren: "I have met Master Ren!"

Master Ren said with enthusiasm: "It turns out to be my little brother. You're welcome. Come on, sit down and talk."

When Ren Tingting heard Ding Xiu's voice, she couldn't help but ran over with surprise on her face: "You're here..."

Seeing this situation, Awei immediately smelled danger. How could his beloved cousin be so passionate about a man?
On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?
It's time to show off your manly power.

Then, his waist and liver straightened, his strides were like flying, and he couldn't sprint for [-] meters as fast as he did. He already rushed forward diagonally to block between his cousin and Ding Xiu. "snort!"

I wanted to show off my aura from a high position, but found that I seemed to be a little shorter, so I could only raise my nostrils and snort, and deliberately touched the pistol on my waist with one hand.

The implication is: I, Awei, am a man with a gun, please give me some eyes.

Facing Awei's naked provocation, Ding Xiu couldn't help but smile: "Captain Awei, are you here?"

Speaking of which, he didn't have any bad feelings towards Ah Wei, but actually liked him a little bit.

Think about the scene in the original plot where this guy, covering his buttocks and half-exposing his shoulders, rushes to the iron gate in panic, bangs on the door, and shouts, "Open the door quickly, I am your A-Chang A-Wei..." It was particularly joyful.

"Hmph, I'm warning you, stay away from my cousin..."

Ah Wei was about to show off his power, but Ren Fa coughed heavily: "Ah Wei, if you have nothing to do, go back to the Yamen first, I want to talk about something."

"Uncle cousin, I..."

"Uncle Fu, send Awei off."

"Yes, Master!" the housekeeper responded, and then raised his hand towards Awei: "Young Master, please!"

Ah Wei had no choice but to glance at his cousin reluctantly, then glared at Ding Xiu with a threatening look, and then turned around and left.

"Little brother, come on, sit down and drink tea."

Without waiting for her father's instructions, Ren Tingting poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ding Xiu. There was a hint of timid joy and shyness between her eyebrows.

"Thank you Miss Ren."

Ding Xiu smiled at Ren Tingting, then took the tea cup and sat on the sofa.

"Little brother, did Uncle Jiu choose a good day?" Ren Fa asked proactively.

"Yes!" Ding Xiu nodded: "Uncle Ninth chose two auspicious days, one is the eighth day of next month and the other is the fifteenth day of next month. It depends on Master Ren's wishes to choose one."

Ren Fa thought about it and replied: "How about the eighth day of the Lunar New Year? It's still about half a month, so there's enough time."

"Okay, then I'll go back and talk to Uncle Jiu."

After chatting for a while, Ren Fa couldn't help but mention what happened last time: "Thanks to my little brother for saving our Tingting last time..."

"Master Ren, you're welcome. I just happened to be passing by and did it casually. It's not worth mentioning."

"Hahaha!" Ren Fa couldn't help but smile heartily, raised his hand and patted Ding Xiu on the shoulder, then gestured with his thumb: "Young brother is so heroic, I admire you!"

"I am over-flattered……"

After chatting for a while, Ding Xiu stood up and said goodbye.

"Let me see you off..." Ren Fa stood up.

Unexpectedly, Ren Tingting volunteered: "Dad, you take a rest for a while, or I'll send you off..."

The worries of his daughter's family cannot be hidden, and Ren Fa has already vaguely felt it.

Although he was grateful to Ding Xiu, he was still grateful. In his heart, he still had the idea of ​​being a good match, so he naturally wanted to find a rich family for his daughter.

However, he couldn't say these things face to face, so he could only reluctantly agree.

Let's say that after Ren Tingting sent Ding Xiu out of the Ren Mansion, she stopped and looked like she was hesitant to speak.

Ding Xiu smiled: "What's wrong, Miss Ren?"

Ren Tingting hesitated for a while and finally said: "I...I want to ask you something..."

"what's up?"

"That's it. When I was studying in the provincial capital, I met a friend. She lives in the county town and is the third concubine of a wealthy businessman named Jia..."

After Ren Tingting's explanation, Ding Xiu finally understood the whole story.

A few years ago, Ren Fa sent his daughter to study in a provincial capital, hoping that she would succeed in her studies and inherit and manage the large family business in the future.

Unexpectedly, after Ren Tingting went to the provincial capital, she became obsessed with talents such as clothing design, makeup, and flower arrangement.

While learning makeup and flower arrangement, I met a woman named Ruolan.

Although Ruolan is nearly ten years older than her, she is naturally beautiful and has the demeanor of a lady. She often wears a cheongsam and looks slim and charming.

After the two got acquainted, Ren Tingting learned that Ruolan's natal family was originally from a scholarly family, with several generations of ancestors serving as officials and having a prominent family background.

Unfortunately, times changed and the family declined. In addition, her father was addicted to drinking, gambling, and smoking, which completely ruined the family business.

Later, in order to help her father pay off his gambling debts, Ruolan fell into prostitution and became a dancer.

Later, she was favored by the wealthy businessman named Jia, and she was taken as a concubine and became the third concubine of the Jia family.

Not long ago, her ex Tingting went to the county town and stopped by the Jia Mansion to catch up with Ruolan. However, she was told that the third aunt was possessed and had been locked in her room.

"I didn't believe it at the time, so the servants of the Jia family took me to have a look, but they didn't let me enter the room. I talked with Ruolan outside the window for a while, and I felt that there was something wrong with her..."

Hearing this, Ding Xiu couldn't help but said: "Perhaps he was stimulated by something..." At this point, he raised his hand and nodded his forehead: "Is there something wrong with your mind?"

Ren Tingting sighed: "I can't explain clearly, but Sister Ruolan took good care of me when I was in the provincial capital and taught me a lot. I... I wanted to help her but couldn't.

Didn’t you learn Taoism from Uncle Jiu?How about you go with me to see if I'm really possessed by evil spirits, okay? "

Of course Ding Xiu would not refuse such a small thing, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay, when are you going to go?"

"Great!" Ren Tingting said with a face of surprise, "Why don't you go early tomorrow morning? Can you ride a foreign car?"

Of course the foreign car she was talking about was not a car, but a bicycle.

Cars are a rare thing in this era. They are generally only found in big cities and are rarely seen in county towns.

For ordinary people, bicycles are also rare things. They are all shipped from the West, so they are also called foreign cars, foreign horses, foreign carriages, etc.

It is expensive and most people cannot afford it.

Ding Xiu nodded: "Of course! Then I will take you to the county town early tomorrow morning."

The next morning, the two met as promised. After having breakfast together on the street, Ding Xiu rode his bicycle and drove Ren Tingting towards the county seat.

At first, Ren Tingting was shy and embarrassed to put her arms around Ding Xiu's waist.

But Ding Xiu deliberately made things worse. He put a little force on his feet, and the speed of the car immediately increased. Ren Tingting staggered and subconsciously hugged Ding Xiu's waist tightly.

"Miss Ren..."

"Master Ding, there is no need to be polite, just call me Tingting."

"Okay Tingting, but don't call me Young Master, just call me by my name."

The two walked and chatted together, which made Ren Tingting relax a lot and hummed a little tune involuntarily.

In the afternoon, the two arrived at the county town successfully and arrived at the gate of Jia's mansion.

One of them saw Ren Tingting and came forward and said, "Is Miss Ren coming to visit the third wife again?"

Ren Tingting replied: "I heard that Sister Ruolan was possessed by evil spirits. I brought a friend over to check on Sister Ruolan."

"This..." The servant was a little confused: "I need to ask the master for instructions on this."

"Then can you take us to meet Boss Jia?"

"Well, you guys wait in the front hall for a while, and I'll report it to the master."

After a while, Boss Jia walked into the front hall.

After being polite to each other, Boss Jia couldn't help but sigh: "Ruolan's illness started about three months ago...

She used to be very cheerful and lively, and you could often hear her singing and laughing.

One day, something suddenly started to feel abnormal..."

Having said this, Boss Jia paused, seeming to have something to say.

After a while, he added: "I looked at many doctors before and after, but were unable to do anything. Until I finally found an expert, the expert said that I was afraid that I was possessed by an evil spirit.

At that time, he opened an altar in the courtyard to cast spells, and also changed the Feng Shui layout in the courtyard. Ruolan felt better for a few days, but unexpectedly... she relapsed later. "

Ding Xiu pondered for a while and couldn't help but said: "Boss Jia, can you take a step to speak?"

Boss Jia was stunned for a moment, then finally responded and led Ding Xiu to a deserted place in the courtyard.

"I wonder why little brother called Jia out?"

Ding Xiu said solemnly: "Has Boss Jia had any adventures recently?"

"An adventure?"

"Yes, for example, if you meet a woman who makes you obsessed..."

Boss Jia couldn't help but frowned: "Little brother, what do you mean by this?"

"Okay, let me try another way. Does Boss Jia often feel weak, have night sweats and lack of energy recently?"

"This...is indeed the case." Boss Jia finally nodded.

"That's why I asked Boss Jia the previous question. I'm afraid you were caught by something, your eyebrows are darkened, and your energy is seriously lacking.

If this continues, within two or three months... it will be dangerous! "

Upon hearing this, Boss Jia couldn't help but look pale, and said anxiously: "Little brother... no, no, little master, do you have any good prescriptions?"

After all, he knows his own body better than anyone else. What Ding Xiu said is by no means alarmist.

Ding Xiu said slowly: "Of course there are good remedies, but if you get rid of the root cause, you still can't get rid of the root cause of Boss Jia's disease."

Boss Jia immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Please let me know, young master!"

In fact, it was impossible for him to completely trust Ding Xiu based on such words. The main reason was psychological factors. The richer people were, the more they cared about their own lives and health.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will not let it go.

"Okay, let me tell you the truth. I suspect that Boss Jia is entangled in something unclean, causing the Yin Qi to accumulate and Yang Qi to lose..."

After hearing this, Boss Jia was stunned for a while, suddenly his face turned pale, he bowed to Ding Xiu again, and whispered: "Listening to what the young master said, Jia seems to have hit the root cause."

"Oh? Boss Jia just said it doesn't matter."

"It's Ruolan, it must be her... No, it's not her, maybe, she is entangled by something..."

After Boss Jia’s explanation, Ding Xiu finally found the crux: the root of everything was indeed Ruolan.

About three months ago, Ruolan, whom Boss Jia had always loved, seemed to have changed.

In the past, when he went to see her, he almost always took the initiative. Ruolan always looked shy and had the amorous attitude of refusing to give up.

Unexpectedly, when Boss Jia went there that night, he became extremely proactive and enthusiastic, which made Boss Jia's legs weak the next day.

I thought it was just an accident, but Ruolan changed more and more day by day, and her words and deeds seemed like a different person.

Every time Boss Jia goes to see her, he basically goes out holding on to the wall...

The servants also saw her change, and secretly commented that the third wife was afraid that she was possessed by an evil spirit.

Seeing that Ruolan's condition was getting worse, Boss Jia had no choice but to lock her in the house, and no one was allowed in except him.
