That afternoon, the news of the Ren family’s tomb relocation and earth-breaking ceremony, the wealthiest family in town, spread throughout the small town.
The Funeral Parlor.
Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng were both looking at Master Nine with indignation, pouring out their complaints.
“Master, you know you are the guardian of Renjia Town, stationed here by Maoshan. Why didn’t the Ren family invite you for such a big event?”
“Yeah, you are the professional when it comes to these matters.”
“I don’t know what kind of wandering Taoist he is, he’s so clueless about the rules. Doesn’t he know who’s the Taoist temple in Renjia Town?”
“This is the wealthiest family’s business, I wonder how much money we can make on this trip…”
Annoyed by their chatter, Master Nine said impatiently, “Can you two be quiet for a moment?”
The two shrunk their necks, not daring to say more.
“It’s none of your business, what makes you think you can talk about this and curse that?”
Master Nine glared at the two, his eyes filled with disappointment. He lectured, “Cultivate your character first, and then cultivate your Dao. You two are so old, yet you’re still restless and not at all stable. Have you finished your daily lessons?”
The two exchanged glances, their heads lowered even further.
Seeing this, Master Nine sighed, “You two should visit the Ren family’s ancestral tomb once a day for the next few days. See if there’s anything unusual.”
The two suddenly raised their heads, their faces full of surprise. “Master, you’re also unable to hold back this anger, you want to fight that wild Taoist?”
“What are you thinking?!”
Master Nine leaped up and gave each of them a rap on the head, making them grimace. “The feng shui of the Ren family’s ancestral tomb is wrong. I’m afraid that some evil Taoist is taking advantage of this to create chaos!”
“Remember, go during the day. You must not go at night.”
With a wave of his hand, Master Nine sent the two away, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Ren family’s ancestral tomb, his face serious.
He arrived in Renjia Town ten years ago.
He found that someone was raising a corpse at the Ren family’s ancestral tomb!
After some discreet inquiries, he learned that when the old Mr. Ren was buried ten years ago, a feng shui master, who had long since left for parts unknown, handled the arrangements. During the burial, he also instructed the Ren family to exhume the coffin and rebury it twenty years later.
To avoid alarming the culprit and to catch the person behind it, he had been lying in wait for ten years without making a move to deal with the zombie.
“It’s been nineteen years since the old gentleman passed away, so you’re finally going to show yourself?”
Master Nine muttered to himself, his square face full of sternness.
Renjia Town.
As evening approached, Mu Chen climbed the mountain alone.
The Ren family’s ancestral tomb was indeed a prime location, not only for the grave of Ren Wei Yong, but also for the grave of the female ghost, Xiao Yu.
At that moment, Qiu Sheng was riding his bicycle back to town from the Funeral Parlor.
He vaguely saw a figure on the mountain, and he suddenly remembered what Master had said during the day.
“Evil Taoist… I, Qiu Sheng, also know a little bit about martial arts!”
“If I capture the evil Taoist and bring him before Master, Master will definitely praise me, right?”
Qiu Sheng grinned and muttered confidently, rushing towards the mountain.
The mountain was filled with tombstones, which looked rather eerie in the night. Even the breeze blowing carried a hint of coldness.
Mu Chen’s eyes were like those of a hawk, and his vision was not affected by the darkness.
He immediately locked onto two tombstones.
【Loving Father · Ren Wei Yong’s Tomb】
【Young Daughter · Dong Xiao Yu】
The former was filled with an overwhelming stench of corpses, while the latter exuded a chilling Yin energy, standing out like a beacon in the crowd of graves with faint Yin energy.
“The ‘Dragonfly Touching Water’ burial site created for raising a corpse is truly extraordinary.”
“Tsk, just looking at it, it’s not easy to handle…”
“It’s a good thing you can’t drink your loved ones’ blood to grow stronger, or you might actually become a threat.”
Mu Chen stared at Ren Wei Yong’s tomb, slightly tongue-tied.
Corpse Stages: Walking Corpse, Jumping Corpse, Bronze Armored Corpse, Silver Armored Corpse, Golden Armored Corpse!
A Walking Corpse is like a wandering soul, even a mortal who knows a little bit about martial arts can deal with it with the right method, just like the Ren Fa who became a zombie in the film.
A Jumping Corpse is equivalent to an evil ghost, mortals have no chance of resisting it, comparable to the Daoist who subdued evil.
A Bronze Armored Corpse is on the same level as a vicious ghost, corresponding to the Daoist who cultivates the Golden Elixir.
A Silver Armored Corpse is equivalent to a Red Clothed ghost, corresponding to the Daoist who wields the Great Dao.
The King of Golden Armored Corpses, also known as the Flying Corpse, is on the same level as a ghost king, corresponding to the Daoist who defends the world.
Judging solely from the emitted corpse energy, Ren Wei Yong was not far from the Silver Armored Corpse stage!
Mu Chen originally planned to strengthen Ren Wei Yong on the mountain, after all, the stronger the evil he subdues, the better the rewards he receives.
But now it seems he needs to weaken him. Ren Wei Yong is even stronger than he was when he first appeared in the original film!
Strengthening him would be more trouble than it’s worth, not to mention the risk of messing up. He can run away, but the people of Renjia Town would be the ones to suffer.
“You’re on the same level as me? I’ll chop you to pieces!”
Mu Chen took out his peachwood sword and swung it down forcefully south of Ren Wei Yong’s tomb!
“Break the Wind, Sever the Qi, Decree!”
He was clearly swinging in the air, but as the peachwood sword fell, the sword body flashed with a red light and emitted a piercing roar!
And there was a pungent, nauseating black liquid gushing out from the ground.
Seeing this, Mu Chen smiled in satisfaction.
Corpse nourishes the grave, grave nourishes the corpse.
For nearly twenty years, it not only transformed Ren Wei Yong from an ordinary corpse into a Bronze Armored Corpse, but also turned the tomb into a cursed place, containing a massive amount of corpse energy.
Mu Chen’s slash was aimed at the Qi vein of this grave.
Cutting off the Qi vein is like making a hole in a balloon, it can guide the corpse energy out.
It can also destroy the grave while also hurting the corpse and reducing the risk of the strongman excavating the tomb.
After dealing with Ren Wei Yong, Mu Chen shifted his attention to Dong Xiao Yu’s tomb.
“Yin energy is rootless… is she not at home?”
Mu Chen couldn’t wait around, if she didn’t come back, he’d be the laughingstock.
After some thought, he took out a few bright yellow banner talismans and set up a trapping formation on her tomb, allowing entry but not exit.
He was about to leave when he paused.
He saw that the black liquid continuously flowing from Ren Wei Yong’s tomb had changed color at some point, turning a bright red, like blood.
“I knew something was off about him being stronger than the original film, it turns out someone had strengthened him beforehand!”
“Ten Thousand Child Blood, such a grand gesture!”
Mu Chen’s face darkened, his eyes turned icy, and a hint of murderous intent towards the one who performed the ritual arose in his heart.
Having been born in Longhu Mountain, he could see the cause of the change at a glance.
And Ten Thousand Child Blood, even in the art of raising corpses, is considered a forbidden technique. This method is too cruel and inhumane, it is forbidden by the Xuanmen.
More than three thousand children are tortured for forty-nine days, every second they suffer agonizing pain, they cannot die during the process, then their hearts are ripped out and their blood is melted.
This blood is extremely evil and vengeful, ordinary people will die upon smelling it, but for zombies, it is a tonic no less potent than their loved ones’ blood.
At this moment, a whistling sound came from behind.
“You shameless evil Taoist, grandpa is going to beat you to death!”
