Chapter 93: It’s Hard to Persuade the Damned Ghost with Good Words (Please Vote and Read More)

Uncle Jiu looked skeptical: "Is it just bribery? Was there any coercion?"

"Uh~ this..."

Faced with Uncle Jiu's questioning, Ren Fa smiled awkwardly.

Seeing this, Dai Changsheng couldn't help but shook his head.

Although it is said that if you doubt someone, don't employ him, and if you employ someone, don't doubt him, but Old Master Ren took away someone else's Feng Shui land and then left his affairs to someone else to handle after his death. He is really heartless.

Even dogs would shake their heads when they heard this!
Eh? Something seems wrong?
"I think it must have been coercion, otherwise he would never deliberately hurt you."

Seeing Ren Fa's guilty look, Uncle Jiu immediately understood everything and pointed at the dug grave and said, "If you want the dragonfly-dipped water hole to work, you must cover it with snowflakes, not let you cover it with cement.

How can it be called a dragonfly skimming the water if the head of the coffin doesn’t even touch the water?

That Feng Shui master still has some conscience. He told you to exhume your coffin and rebury it in twenty years. He might have harmed you for half your life, but not for your entire life. He might have harmed you for one generation, but not for eighteen generations!"

"..."

Ren Fa's face suddenly changed. He didn't expect that the reason why his business was getting worse and worse was because of the evil seeds planted twenty years ago.

"I see!"

A rough voice suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

In front of the workers who were responsible for digging the grave, there appeared an old coffin lying upright, covered with mud.

"Get the coffin out!"

Following Uncle Jiu's order, the workers quickly brought the wooden lifting frame that had been prepared in advance, put ropes on the coffin, and worked together to pull it out of the ground.

"Loosen the rope! Remove the nails!"

After the workers had laid the coffin flat and steady, Uncle Jiu said to everyone present, "Everyone, today is the day that Ren Gongweiyong will be brought back to the light of day. Anyone aged 22, 35, 36, or 48, or born in the Year of the Rooster or the Year of the Ox, please turn away."

Upon hearing this, those who met these two conditions quickly turned around and faced the coffin.

【3, 2, 1! 】

Uncle Jiu silently counted three numbers in his mind, then said loudly: "The retreat is over, everyone, put on your clothes and open the coffin!"

"Quack quack..."

Just as the workers opened the coffin, a flock of crows suddenly flew out from the woods surrounding the cemetery.

Seeing this, Uncle Jiu frowned slightly, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. He took Dai Changsheng and quickly walked to the coffin to check it out.

When Uncle Jiu saw the body in the coffin, which showed no signs of decay after twenty years, his pupils shrank slightly.

"father!"

"grandfather!"

Ren Fa and Ren Tingting had no idea what was going on. They just went through the motions and shouted while kneeling down to worship Ren Weiyong's body.

"Dad, I'm so unfilial for disturbing you, old man."

Ren Fa bowed with a hint of self-blame before standing up and asking Uncle Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, is this tomb still usable?"

"A dragonfly touches the water, one spot at a time, and it certainly won't touch the same place. This tomb is already abandoned."

"Then...what should we do then?"

"I propose cremation on the spot!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Fa refused without a second thought: "Cremation? How can that be possible? My late father was most afraid of fire when he was alive. I can't do that."

After all, most people in this era believe in "returning to their roots and being buried in peace."

Except for those who really have no other choice, most people, even if they die outside, will ask their relatives and friends to transport their bodies back to their hometown for burial. That is why the industry of corpse driver came into being.

If Ren Fa really listened to Uncle Jiu and cremated his father's body, then in the eyes of outsiders, he would only be seen as an unfilial son, and he didn't want to be stabbed in the back by others. Although Uncle Jiu could understand Ren Fa's concerns, he still advised with a serious face: "Master Ren, if you don't cremate it, there will be trouble."

"Uncle Jiu, anything is fine, except cremation. Please think of other solutions!"

Looking at Ren Fa's stubborn expression, Dai Changsheng secretly complained in his heart: "It's really hard to persuade him with kind words, damn ghost!"

Seeing that Ren Fa was so stubborn, Uncle Jiu couldn't persuade him any further, otherwise he would inevitably be suspected of wanting to raise the price.

"Since you insist so much, then we'll temporarily move Old Master Ren and his coffin to the cemetery. Tomorrow I'll go find a new grave for him so he can rest in peace."

Hearing Uncle Jiu say this, Ren Fa nodded in satisfaction: "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Jiu."

"Master Ren, please go back first!"

"Ok!"

After watching Ren Fa and the others leave, Uncle Jiu called Dai Changsheng and the others to his side.

"Changsheng, light a plum blossom incense array here later. Come back and tell me what it looks like."

Uncle Jiu first gave Dai Changsheng some instructions, then glanced at Wencai and the others and said, "Remember to keep an eye on them and don't let them get into trouble. Also, burn incense at every grave."

"Master, don't worry! They won't dare to do anything reckless as long as I'm here."

"Well! I'll leave it to you then."

After Uncle Jiu finished speaking, he patted Dai Changsheng on the shoulder and rushed back to the charity cemetery with the workers who were responsible for carrying the coffin.

"Okay, okay, let's get to work. Do you guys still want to go back for dinner?"

Under Dai Changsheng's urging, Wencai and the others did not dare to be lazy and immediately started to light the plum blossom incense array.

Because Dai Changsheng was nimble, he lit incense faster than Wencai and Qiu Sheng combined, and soon he had lit incense in front of more than 20 graves.

Just as Dai Changsheng was skillfully burning incense, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the name and photo on the tombstone.

[Dong Xiaoyu? Is this the female ghost who slept with Qiu Sheng in the original novel?]

After staring at the black and white photo on the tombstone for a while, Dai Changsheng finally lit a stick of incense in front of Dong Xiaoyu's grave.

Dai Changsheng didn't want to be an undead knight, but if he burned incense at other graves but not Dong Xiaoyu's, it would be a bit like bullying the ghost.

"Thank you."

Seeing that Dai Changsheng was a handsome and sunny young man, Dong Xiaoyu, who was resting in the grave, couldn't help but thank him.

[She was actually able to speak in broad daylight. It seems this ghost bride is quite skilled, definitely far superior to Chu Renmei.]

Dai Changsheng secretly complained in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface, as if he didn't hear Dong Xiaoyu's thanks at all.

"Oh no! Big Brother, oh no! Look at how fragrant this is."

Just as Dong Xiaoyu was about to continue to express her gratitude, Wencai suddenly ran over shouting, with a burnt incense stick in his hand.

"People are most afraid of three long and two short, and incense is most afraid of two short and one long."

Looking at the incense sticks in Wencai's hand that had burned into two short and one long incense sticks, Dai Changsheng said solemnly, "If this kind of incense is found in a family, there must be a loss!"

"Is this Master Ren's home?"

Dai Changsheng rolled his eyes at Wencai and said, "Nonsense! If it's not Master Ren's house, could it be our charity cemetery?"

"That's good. It doesn't concern me, so I won't worry about it."

After learning that this matter had nothing to do with him, Wencai immediately felt relieved.

"Big Brother, will Tingting be in danger?"

Facing Qiu Sheng's curious gaze, Dai Changsheng asked speechlessly, "What do you think?"
