"Puff~~~"
Almost bursting into laughter, Wai quickly stopped himself when he noticed his uncle-by-marriage's unhappy expression. Uncle Ninth glared at him and said, "I always tell you to read more books, but you only know how to mess around. Learn from your junior brother!"
"Xu Yan, tell them what 'ritual burial' means!"
Uncle Ninth couldn't help but admire the learning abilities of his disciples, Qiusheng and Wen Cai. Fortunately, he had taken in a true disciple; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the face to face his ancestors after a hundred years.
Everyone's gaze turned to Xu Yan, who replied, "Ritual burial means burial in an upright position."
"Hmph!"
The crowd seemed to understand now, but Uncle Ninth couldn't save his face and could only lightly huff to express his dissatisfaction. It seemed like he was telling Qiusheng and Wen Cai to learn more from Xu Yan to avoid embarrassing themselves with their ignorance.
"Teacher is so amazing, knowing everything!!"
Ren Tingting's eyes lit up as she wanted to approach Xu Yan but dared not. On such a day, she needed to behave solemnly as a member of the Ren family.
After the mourning ceremony, the workers began to dig, but their methods were somewhat rough. In no time, they had made a mess of the old master's grave, dug out the top of the coffin, put a rope around it, and pulled it out with a pulley.
"An upright burial ensures future generations will excel!!"
Xu Yan remembered this line, but it seemed that due to his presence, the plot had deviated somewhat. Uncle Ninth felt that the Ren family had been tricked, perhaps related to this land. However, to spare the face of Mr. Ren, he didn't say much.
"Father!!"
"Grandfather!!"
As soon as the coffin was opened, Mr. Ren and Ren Tingting knelt down directly. Xu Yan stood at the back with a slightly furrowed brow. Among the crowd, only he and Uncle Ninth felt that something was wrong.
The coffin had hardly decayed in twenty years, which was abnormal. Moreover, when the coffin was opened, a thick, Yin energy spread out from inside.
The plot was getting more and more off track.
In the original movie, the coffin was first raised and then a new location was found. Now, the new location had already been found, so the coffin had to be carried there for burial, but a specific date needed to be selected.
Not good!!
It was already unusual that the coffin hadn't shown any signs of decay in twenty years, but Mr. Ren's father's corpse hadn't decayed at all!!
This corpse couldn't be left!
"Mr. Ren, there's something wrong with your father's corpse. If it's left out, it will cause problems. I think it should be cremated here and then buried. What do you think?"
When graves are moved, the ancestors are usually placed for a few days, several rituals are performed, and then they are buried on a specific day.
But Mr. Ren's father's corpse could cause problems anytime during this period.
To prevent Mr. Ren's father from turning into a zombie and harming people, Uncle Ninth could only propose cremation.
"Why?!" Mr. Ren asked in confusion.
Uncle Ninth was somewhat anxious and said, "Mr. Ren, if the corpse isn't cremated, it could turn into a zombie anytime!"
"No!!"
Upon hearing the word 'cremation,' Mr. Ren shook his head like a rattle, stubbornly saying, "Do whatever you want, but not cremation. My father was most afraid of cremation when he was alive. Uncle Ninth, you need to think of another way."
"This........"
Uncle Ninth tried to persuade him, but Mr. Ren was set on his decision and wouldn't listen. Finally, he sighed, "Then let's first carry the coffin to the Yizhuang. I'll think of a way."
"Thank you, Uncle Ninth. I'll send the reward over. You don't need to worry."
Mr. Ren sighed in relief and nodded to Wai, who instructed, "Cover the coffin, carry it to the Yizhuang, and put it away. The rest of you, take your things and leave."
Glancing reluctantly at Xu Yan, Ren Tingting left with Mr. Ren.
Watching Mr. Ren leave, Uncle Ninth sighed, "Qiusheng, Wen Cai, set up a plum blossom incense formation at the grave and tell me how it burns when you come back. Xu Yan, follow me back first."
"Remember, offer incense to every grave. Don't forget."
After instructing the two, Uncle Ninth took Xu Yan and left with the crowd behind them. Xu Yan whispered, "Master, even if Mr. Ren's father is successfully buried, he will turn into a zombie on the night of the full moon."
"I know."
Uncle Ninth had a heavy expression, "So I can only try to restrain the corpse. I hope that after the burial, he will rest peacefully and not come out to harm people."
Demons and monsters love places with heavy Yin energy. Besides Yin energy, zombies especially like to absorb the essence of moonlight on the night of the full moon to become stronger, similar to drinking human blood.
At present, Uncle Ninth could only hope that the new location would be sunny enough to suppress the corpse's Yin energy and prevent him from coming out to cause trouble.
Back in the town, the Ren family was beating drums and gongs to entertain guests. Xu Yan and Uncle Ninth had to leave first because the coffin was still at home, and it would be troublesome if Mr. Ren's father suddenly came out during that time.
"Bring the tools."
Returning to the Yizhuang, Uncle Ninth opened the coffin and took a look, deciding to use a inked string dipped in ink to outline the coffin, hoping to restrain Mr. Ren's father until the burial a few days later.
The master and apprentice quickly used the inked string soaked in black dog's blood and cock's blood to outline the coffin, even covering the bottom.
