Chapter 838 Zombie World 14

Uncle Jiu thought about it all the way and finally made up his mind. As soon as he returned to the charity cemetery, he kept Ruyi. "Ruyi, I want you to learn some self-defense martial arts from me. What do you think?"

Ruyi didn't expect that the thing she had always wanted to mention but never had the chance to do so would be brought up by Uncle Jiu so easily. Because of the surprise, Ruyi's expression inevitably revealed a little, "I..."

But before she could agree, Uncle Jiu saw her expression and thought she was unwilling, so he quickly explained: "Ahem, I, I don't mean to take you as my apprentice, just consider it as a thank you for teaching Junior Brother Simu and me how to draw the Nawu Talisman."

Uncle Jiu waited for Ruyi's answer anxiously. He was also a little afraid that Ruyi would think he was stingy. Ordinary self-defense martial arts and the lost method of drawing talismans to absorb objects were completely on different levels.

However, the series of skills, techniques, and even talismans he practiced were all inherited from Maoshan. He was not qualified and could not pass them on to Ruyi unless Ruyi was willing to worship him as a master like Qiu Sheng and Wencai.

But even so, Maoshan still has a rule, that is, Dai Yi can only become an outer disciple and cannot enter the inner sect. He can only learn some Taoist methods outside Maoshan, and those truly valuable mental methods cannot be taught.

"Uncle Jiu, I agree."

"I have long wanted to learn martial arts from Uncle Jiu. I can't recover my skills now, and I can't use magic. If I don't have martial arts, I will have no ability to protect myself."

"Indeed, I thought so too, that's why I suggested that you learn some self-defense martial arts from me." Uncle Jiu nodded with satisfaction, just glad that his kindness was not misunderstood.

While the two were talking, Wencai and Qiusheng had already returned from burning incense. Wencai rushed in with a panicked look on his face, holding three incense sticks of different lengths, and shouted, "Master, Master, this is bad, look at this incense!"

"Two short and one long, this is a deadly incense!" Uncle Jiu recognized the incense in Wencai's hand at a glance. He shook his head after taking it, "People are most afraid of three long and two short, and incense is most taboo to have two short and one long. How could it burn like this!"

"Alas, if this kind of incense appears in the house, someone will surely die!"

Wencai picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "Is this Master Ren's house?"

"Is it here?" Uncle Jiu glared at Wencai unhappily.

When Wencai heard that it was not a charity cemetery, the expression on his face became more relaxed, "If it's none of my business, I won't worry about it." Since it's not a charity cemetery, there is nothing to worry about.

Because Qiu Sheng and Wencai had already seen a beautiful person like Ruyi, when they met Mr. Ren's daughter Ren Tingting again, they were not as embarrassed as in the plot, causing Uncle Jiu to lose face completely.

Now that he heard it was about the Ren family, Wencai was not in a hurry even though he knew that there was Ren Tingting in the Ren family. Qiu Sheng was concentrating on studying the old man Ren who had just been sent here, and did not think about the Ren family or Ren Tingting.

"Master, come and look, the corpse, Old Master Ren's corpse has gained weight!" He opened the coffin and pointed at Old Master Ren, who looked very skinny in the afternoon but now had gained weight, and shouted in surprise.

Uncle Jiu stood up and looked inside the coffin. Sure enough, the corpse had wrinkles and its fingernails had grown out. This was the evil spirit being absorbed by the corpse. It seemed that Old Master Ren could very likely turn into a zombie at any time.

Time is running out and we can't wait any longer.

"Wencai, Qiusheng, quickly prepare paper, pens, ink, and swords!"

"Ah, what?" Wencai and Qiusheng had no idea what Uncle Jiu was talking about. Uncle Jiu was so angry that he gave them two big punches. "It's yellow paper, red pen, black ink, kitchen knife and wooden sword."

"I told you to study hard, but you just slacked off. You don't even know what paper, pen, ink, or sword is!"

Uncle Jiu was really pissed off by his two useless apprentices. He felt even more ashamed when he thought about Wencai and Qiu Sheng’s ignorance being exposed in front of Ruyi. He couldn’t help but worry, “Will Ruyi doubt my ability because of these two useless people, Qiu Sheng and Wencai?”

After everything was prepared, Uncle Jiu stood in front of the altar, took out a grain of glutinous rice, burned it on the tribute candle, then snapped his fingers and the glutinous rice flew into the bowl, igniting the rooster blood prepared in the bowl. Then Uncle Jiu poured black ink into the chicken blood bowl and stirred it evenly. Finally, he used the Bagua mirror to make the ink and poured it into the ink fountain.

"Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, put the ink line on the coffin. Remember, don't miss it."

Qiu Sheng and Wencai obediently took the inkstones and went to work in the morgue. Ruyi didn't want to get involved, but then she thought that if tonight was like in the plot, and the bottom of the coffin was missed, and the zombie of Old Master Ren ran out of the coffin, wouldn't it disturb her practice?

In order to avoid being disturbed tonight, Ruyi finally reminded Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai when they finished playing the coffin and were about to go back to rest, "It seems that you didn't play the bottom of the coffin..."

"Oh, that's right, brother, we didn't bomb the bottom of the coffin." Wencai reacted.

"The bottom of the coffin... no need to play it, right?" Qiu Sheng didn't want to redo the work, he just wanted to be lazy.

"But doesn't Wencai have to sleep here tonight? What if Old Master Ren comes out from under the coffin and bites you?"

After all, the room she is living in now is Wencai’s previous room. Ruyi thought about it and decided to remind him.

Hearing that it was related to Wencai's safety, Qiu Sheng didn't want to be lazy anymore, and hurriedly pulled Wencai together to honestly patch up the gap at the bottom of the coffin. He even felt uneasy after patching it up and nailed a few more nails on the coffin.

"That should be all. No need to worry tonight."

After dealing with Old Master Ren's affairs, Qiu Sheng rode his bicycle back to town. Wen Cai was worried and wanted to keep Qiu Sheng, "Don't leave. It's so late. It's easy to encounter ghosts."

"Would I be afraid of ghosts? Ghosts should be afraid of me!" Qiu Sheng was not panicked at all. He lit a stick of incense and put it on the front of the car and drove away happily.

Ruyi looked at Qiu Sheng's back as he rode away on his bicycle, pursed her lips and ultimately did not remind him. Anyway, in the end the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu was dealt with by Uncle Jiu, and Qiu Sheng was fine, so she should not meddle in other people's business.

Ruyi returned to the room and continued to practice sitting cross-legged on the bed. Although the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy in this way was very slow, it was better than doing nothing. At her current speed of meditation, it would take about half a year to break through the foundation building and enter the stage of refining essence into qi. By that time, she would finally be able to get rid of her current predicament of not being able to use any magic.

Although there is no need to use any magic to refine essence into qi, there is a complete difference between being able to use some magic and not being able to use it at all.

He practiced quietly all night. After the sun came out, Ruyi opened his eyes after absorbing the first purple air at sunrise. "Sure enough, after patching up the bottom of the coffin, Old Master Ren couldn't get out last night."

Wencai also slept very soundly and was not woken up by the screams of goats and zombies coming out of coffins in the middle of the night. After breakfast, Uncle Jiu took his tools and went up the mountain alone to find a new tomb. Before leaving, he gave Ruyi a martial arts secret book and asked her to read it first to familiarize herself with it, and he would teach her after he finished the affairs of the Ren family.
