Old Master Ren was buried dressed in a Qing Dynasty official robe, and his body remained intact for twenty years after his death.

In addition, their family used coercion and bribery to seize the land from the feng shui master.

It's clear they wield considerable power.

Zhang Yue nodded. Their ancestors were officials in the Qing Dynasty, making them a family of officials. No wonder the Ren family had become a prominent Brahmin family.

The moment it was opened, a wisp of black smoke drifted out of the coffin, causing strange phenomena among the surrounding birds and beasts.

An ominous premonition arose in everyone's hearts.

Zhang Yue squinted and glanced at it. Under the gaze of his Yin-Yang Eyes, he saw the unusual black aura lingering around Old Master Ren's body...

The men who had come to help move the grave were whispering among themselves. The villagers weren't stupid; what did it mean that a corpse that hadn't decomposed after twenty years of death was? Even the most ignorant villagers knew that something was wrong with the corpse.

"Father, we have disturbed you. Your children are truly unfilial..." Old Master Ren knelt on the ground and cried loudly for a few moments, but not a single tear fell.

"Uncle Jiu, is this tomb still usable?"

"Like a dragonfly skimming the water, you can't just skim it a little more; this tomb is now ruined."

Uncle Nine's expression changed drastically. He went to the coffin and examined it carefully. With a solemn expression, he said to Master Ren, "Master Ren, the body is not decaying. This is likely a big problem. I suggest that the body be cremated on the spot."

The subtext is clear to everyone: the so-called "big trouble" is the possibility of turning into a zombie.

At this moment, the sun was shining brightly. Under the blazing sun, Old Master Ren was suppressed and unable to turn into a zombie. Cremation was the optimal solution.

Since it hadn't drunk blood yet, its strength wasn't much greater than that of Master Four Eyes' guests, making it the simplest to deal with.

"That won't do." Master Ren immediately jumped up to object. "My late father was most afraid of fire. I absolutely cannot do that."

"Master Ren, if we don't cremate him, there will be 'big trouble'..." Uncle Nine emphasized the words "big trouble" to remind him of the potential dangers and unforeseen events.

But Mr. Ren, perhaps determined to find a piece of land to use feng shui to change his family's fortune, resolutely shook his head and refused.

"Anything is fine, just not cremation. Think of another way."

Master Ren was a local tycoon, and he resolutely refused cremation. Even Uncle Nine couldn't do anything about it, and could only say worriedly, "Alright, then let's leave him at our mortuary for now..."

Zhang Yue looked at Master Ren with an expression as if he were looking at a dead man, and shook his head.

"Brother Zhang, why are you shaking your head?" Wen Cai asked, leaning closer.

"It's nothing, I just think that if you don't do stupid things, you won't die. If Old Master Ren turns into a zombie, Old Master Ren, as its offspring, will definitely be the first to suffer."

Zhang Yue said, "After a zombie turns into a zombie, the first thing it will do is seek out people with blood ties. As long as it drinks the blood of its relatives, its strength will greatly increase..."

Wencai said, "I see..."

Zhang Yue was somewhat surprised. "Wait, Brother Wencai, you didn't know?"

Wen Cai scratched his head. "I'm not really sure about that. Ever since I was old enough to understand, with my master around, all the demons and monsters within a hundred miles have been dealt with..."

Zhang Yue: "..."

Uncle Nine is too capable...

No wonder the two apprentices kept asking Uncle Nine some basic questions in the story.

"Wencai, Qiusheng, light some incense and offer a stick to each grave."

Not long after, the relocation of the graves was completed. But before it was over, Uncle Jiu instructed Wencai and Qiusheng to offer incense to every grave in the area, including those lonely graves that no one had ever visited.

During this process, Zhang Yue took the initiative to help, as he wanted to find out which grave Xiaoyu was.

However, when he finally found it, he discovered that Wencai had already lit incense at the grave.

"Have you already offered incense at this grave?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Zhang Yue asked, "Didn't you hear anything?"

Wen Cai looked puzzled. "No, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing..." Zhang Yue nodded. Sure enough, women are all attracted to good looks. The results were really different when someone else offered incense.

……

……

"Uncle Jiu, since you knew that this corpse might turn into a zombie, why did you bring it back to the mortuary?"

On the way, Zhang Yue asked Uncle Jiu with a puzzled look, "Why don't we just take the opportunity to burn it down?"

Uncle Nine shook his head. "Master Ren is a local powerful figure. If he doesn't agree, I can't secretly burn it down..."

The local tyrants were all local bullies, and even though Uncle Nine was highly respected, he couldn't afford to offend them.

Zhang Yue said, "What if we take it back to the mortuary and it turns into a zombie at night?"

Uncle Nine nodded and said, "I had already thought it through, otherwise I wouldn't have brought the coffin back to the mortuary..."

"Grandpa Ren, although it is about to turn into a zombie, it has never drunk human blood and its strength is not that great. As long as we keep it trapped and prevent it from leaving the coffin..."

"Find a propitious burial site. Over time, without the replenishment of malevolent energy and the yin energy of the earth, its strength will only weaken, and after several years it will turn into bones..."

Seeing Zhang Yue's interest in feng shui, Uncle Nine shared some information about zombies with him. Simply put, a dead person buried in the ground cannot turn into a zombie without any warning.

The reason why Old Master Ren was able to become a zombie was due to that uniquely auspicious "Dragonfly Skimming Water" spot, a treasure land in the secret art of feng shui.

However, due to the feng shui master's treachery, the auspicious feng shui site became the yin cave that led to Old Master Ren's transformation into a zombie.

In addition, the coffin used to bury him was of the finest quality, so that snakes, insects, and rodents could not get in. This gave Old Master Ren the opportunity to absorb the yin energy from the Dragonfly Touching Water Cave before he was corrupted, and to become a half-stiff.

Normally, if a corpse is buried anywhere, it will decompose in no time and have no chance of becoming a zombie.

"I nailed the coffin with nails that had been blessed, added red thread and ink lines, buried it underground, and covered it with several thousand kilograms of soil. Even if Old Master Ren had the strength of ten thousand kilograms, he couldn't push it open."

"The choice of burial site is also important. It must be located in a place with streams or rivers. Water represents continuous life. The flowing water will wash away the old man's life force. Over time, the body will only become weaker and weaker underground."

……

After returning to the mortuary, Old Master Ren's body underwent changes.

Zhang Yue opened the coffin and found that Old Master Ren had changed from his previous emaciated state to a full-figured one, and even his fingers were slowly growing out black and shiny nails.

These fingernails look like they're teeming with corpse poison.

Wencai and Qiusheng exclaimed in unison, "Wow, Old Master Ren's corpse has gotten fat?"

"Oh no, it's sped up..." Uncle Nine's expression changed slightly.

"Wencai, Qiusheng, prepare paper, brush, ink, sword..."

Qiu Sheng looked bewildered. "Master, what are paper, pen, ink, sword, and saber?"

Uncle Nine's eyes widened, and he said with exasperation, "It's yellow paper, red pen, black ink, kitchen knife, and wooden sword—"
