Turbid World: Martial Arts Master of the Republic of China Era, I Cultivate Immortality!

Renjia Village, Back Mountain

"The future you envision... is so wonderful!"

Master Tianyi looked at Zhao Zheng, who was describing his vision of the future, with a strange expression. There was something he didn't say: the future Zhao Zheng described was so wonderful that it was almost like a dream!

However, when he thought of Zhao Zheng's name and the primordial spirit sword named Tai'a in Zhao Zheng's hand, his expression froze, he took half a step back, and tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, do you remember?"

"...Yes, I remember now. You might not believe it, but I have already ordered General Wang Jian to lead a million-strong army to completely surround Anping County!"

Seeing Daoist Tianyi retreat, Zhao Zheng's lips twitched, and he put his hands behind his back and said with a smile.

Seeing the astonished look on Master Tianyi's face, he continued, "Now, the outskirts of Anping County are all under my control, and even those standing on the waves of the Bohai Sea are my men!"

"..."

Master Tianyi fell silent, his face darkening. He looked at Zhao Zheng, who couldn't help but burst out laughing, and realized he had been tricked. He clenched his fists in anger!

Zhao Zheng didn't want to laugh either, even though he was a professional and trained, but he just couldn't help it!

The laughter was a bit loud, which drew the attention of Master Ren and the others nearby. Zhao Zheng, who was being stared at, was not embarrassed and quickly regained his composure.

"Yes, my friend had a baby, and I'm so happy!"

"???"

No,

Why are you happy that your friend is having a baby?

Mr. Ren and the others were stunned for a moment, not understanding the connection. However, after a few seconds, some of them figured it out.

People like Master Ren and Qian Mu looked at Zhao Zheng with strange expressions, and Qian Mu even laughed and said, "Indeed, something to be happy about!"

"Um?"

Some of the older men realized what was happening and smiled knowingly. Daoist Tianyi's lips twitched as he looked at Zhao Zheng expressionlessly.

"...Everything looks dirty to people with heart conditions!"

Zhao Zheng glanced at Qian Mu with disdain, shook his head with a sigh, and Qian Mu's eyes widened, his face turning red with embarrassment.

"..."

Luckily, I didn't say anything!

Master Ren and the others were extremely relieved, but then they also looked at Qian Mu with sighs. There was no other reason than that this man was truly filthy.

"You... Hmph!"

Qian Mu waved his hand angrily and walked to the side, kicking the stones on the ground. Ren Qianqian, who didn't understand what was dirty about them, looked blank and confused.

Good lad,

You're really something!

Seeing Zhao Zheng throw the dirty water back with just one sentence, Master Tianyi clicked his tongue in amazement, and then listened to what Master Ren had to say.

"Master, we've discussed it and decided that we want to bury my father tomorrow. Do you think tomorrow is a good day?"

According to custom, Old Master Ren's body should have been kept at home for seven days, but given the hot weather, Mr. Ren and the others did not want the old man to suffer, so they simply moved it forward by a few days.

"Tomorrow is a good day; the burial can take place!"

Master Tianyi thought about the date for tomorrow, then used the Little Six Ren divination method to calculate it with his fingers. After confirming that the date was feasible, he nodded and said.

"That's good, that's good..."

Master Ren breathed a sigh of relief and discussed the details with everyone and Daoist Tianyi. After the discussion, Daoist Tianyi nodded: "Alright, then tomorrow it will be!"

As he spoke, he took a bundle of incense from his satchel and handed it to Zhao Zheng: "Zheng, go to the nearby graves and burn some plum blossom incense!"

"OK!"

Knowing what the Plum Blossom Incense Array was, Zhao Zheng accepted the incense offering, but his mood was somewhat strange, especially after seeing Qian Mu volunteer to help.

Looking at the other person's appearance, Zhao Zheng understood. He was currently of the Qiu generation, while this Qian Mu was of the Wen generation!

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mu took some money for incense from Zhao Zheng and looked at Zhao Zheng strangely. Zhao Zheng shook his head to indicate that it was nothing.

He had only one thought in his mind: if a seemingly decent female ghost were to entangle him next, would he comply or not?

Thinking it over, Zhao Zheng refused the offer of help from Master Ren's two sons and the able-bodied men of Renjia Village, and then took Qian Mu to the nearby cemetery to enjoy the fragrance of plum blossoms.

"By the way, what is a plum blossom fragrance array?"

Qian Mu, following Zhao Zheng towards the nearby cemetery, asked curiously, "The Plum Blossom Fragrance Formation isn't really a formation, but rather a method of divination!" Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "To be precise, it's not really a formation, but rather a divination technique!"

This method, known as the Incense Divination Method, possesses the ability to communicate with the divine through incense. By combining it with the Twenty-Four Incense Manuals, one can determine good or bad fortune.

As for why it's called the Plum Blossom Incense Array, it's because the incense used to communicate with the gods was placed on the graves. At that time, the graves were not lined up in one cemetery like in later generations, so it was called the Plum Blossom Incense Array because it was too messy!

"Um... the word 'plum blossom' is very fitting!"

Qian Mu looked at the messy graves before him, nodded, and then asked doubtfully, "Is this thing accurate?"

"I just can't say no!"

"..."

Qian Mu rolled his eyes. Zhao Zheng instructed that three incense sticks would be enough, so he took the half-bucket of incense in his hand and walked to the nearest grave to set up the plum blossom incense array.

After a while.

As Zhao Zheng watched the incense burning beside the nearby graves, he noticed a rather serious problem.

Is that his female ghost?

Bah, it's the female ghost that's clinging to him!

"What the hell... Ugh, where's the ghost?"

Zhao Zheng was puzzled. Not seeing the female ghost, he thought for a moment and went directly to Qian Mu, who was lighting the plum blossom incense array with a kerosene lighter, to help.

After the plum blossom fragrance array was set up, Qian Mu noticed that Zhao Zheng would occasionally glance at him, and then at the nearby graves.

Qian Mu swallowed hard, instinctively taking a half-step back. Zhao Zheng frowned, asking, "What's wrong with you?"

"No...it's nothing..."

Qian Mu shook his head, his smile slightly unnatural. He knew this Taoist priest might not be very magnanimous, but he hadn't expected him to be this magnanimous...

"Cousin, aren't you guys done yet?"

Ren Qianqian's voice came from not far away. Qian Mu felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly threw the unused incense sticks on the ground, turned around and ran, saying, "Daoist Master, I'm going back with Qianqian first!"

"..." x2

Leaving aside Zhao Zheng's thoughts, Ren Qianqian looked at Qian Mu with a strange expression, who had fled over in a panic, and whispered.

"Cousin, what's wrong?"

"fine……"

Qian Mu shook his head. He couldn't very well tell Ren Qianqian that a Taoist priest wanted to bury him here because of what he had said before.

As for why he thought that way, it's simple. Just look at Master Qin. Not long ago, Master Qin had just had an argument with Zhao Zheng in the morning, and that evening he was ambushed.

If this wasn't Zhao Zhengqian's, he'd write the character for "money" backwards. He just doesn't understand how someone could be so cunning...

bang——

Qian Mu tripped and fell flat on his face because of a pebble that suddenly appeared under his feet, and didn't think about it anymore.

Zhao Zheng, who was not far away, turned around and rubbed the dust off his fingers from throwing the pebbles. Yes, he was the one who threw the pebbles.

Although he didn't know what Qian Mu was thinking, he could vaguely sense from the Sun and Moon version of the Everlasting Brightness Meditation Technique that Qian Mu was definitely not saying anything nice.

Just fight!

"Strange, this plot is wrong. Logically, there should be a female ghost thanking me!" Zhao Zheng picked up the remaining incense from Qian Mu's hand and strolled around the cemetery, stroking his chin.

A few minutes passed, and Zhao Zheng didn't see the female ghost, but he did see two short and one long incense sticks appear as time went by.

"???"

What's wrong?

Grandpa Ren is going to turn into a zombie!!
