In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

Chapter 831 Zombie World 7

"Master, uncle, the meal is here." Wencai came back from the kitchen with a bowl, breaking the silence.

Uncle Jiu came back to his senses from his deep thoughts and quickly asked Taoist Simu to sit down and eat. "Come on, Junior Brother, sit down and eat first."

"Wencai, go ask Qiu Sheng if he has rested enough and if he wants to eat. Does a junior like him have to ask his senior uncle to wait?"

Uncle Jiu knew exactly what he had done. Qiu Sheng had been lying there for the whole afternoon and had already recovered, but he hadn't shown up yet. Uncle Jiu knew without a second thought that his apprentice was probably planning to do something bad again.

"By the way, don't forget to burn incense for your uncle's customers."

"Oh." Wencai put down his bowl and chopsticks reluctantly, got up from the table and went to the morgue next door to find Qiu Sheng, "Brother, brother, it's time to eat!"

After calling out several times, but seeing no response from Qiu Sheng, Wencai had no choice but to go to the bed where Qiu Sheng was resting to check, "Hey, there's no one on the bed." The bed was empty, and Wencai was puzzled, "Where did my senior brother go if he's not in bed? Did he go out to eat?"

Wencai didn't care that Qiu Sheng couldn't be found. The whole funeral home was so small anyway. He turned around and walked to the table. He took out a bunch of incense from under the table. After lighting it, he fanned it twice with his hands. After the flame of the incense was extinguished, he began to put incense into the incense burner in front of the coffin in the morgue one by one.

"Three incense sticks per person, don't rush."

When he walked to the corner where the customers brought by Taoist Simu were placed, Wencai lit some incense and bowed three times. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he noticed that the oil lamps in front of the customers were a little dim. "My uncle said that we can't let the lamps go out."

Thinking of this, Wencai hurried over, picked up the tools and fiddled with the wick a few times. When he saw the oil lamp become bright again, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, that's all right now. Let's go back and eat!" Wencai turned around and stopped halfway, "How about I add some sesame oil?"

He just found out that more than half of the fragrant oil in the oil lamp had been burned, and he felt a little worried, so he decided to add some more fragrant oil to the lamp before leaving. However, as soon as he turned around to get the fragrant oil, he saw a zombie with a green face and fangs coming towards him from behind.

Wencai was unable to dodge and was grabbed by the zombie. He used both hands to press against the zombie's head to try to prevent himself from being bitten, while desperately shouting toward the door, "Master, Uncle Master, help! There are zombies!"

Hearing Wencai's cry for help, Uncle Jiu and Taoist Simu immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks, stood up and rushed towards the morgue. Ruyi also put down her bowl and chopsticks and followed.

In fact, as early as when Taoist Simu came, Ruyi had guessed that the plot of the movie "Mr. Vampire" was about to begin. Now hearing Wencai's shout, Ruyi knew that if she guessed wrong, this zombie should be Qiu Sheng in disguise to tease Wencai.

Sure enough, with a scream, the zombie that was pinching Wencai was kicked away by Uncle Jiu. Seeing that Taoist Simu's attack was following closely, the zombie that was screaming while covering his chest quickly wiped off the powder on his face, revealing his original appearance, "Uncle Master, I am Qiu Sheng!"

“Hmph, you little brat, why don’t you play something else instead of pretending to be a zombie!” Uncle Jiu had already noticed something was wrong when he kicked the zombie, and now he felt even more embarrassed.

"Junior brother, I'm sorry, Qiu Sheng is so ignorant. I made you laugh."

Taoist Simu shook his head without saying anything. He just quickly ran to where he had placed the customers' items. After checking and finding no problems, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, I'd better leave early tomorrow morning. I'm really afraid that Qiu Sheng will play with my customers if I stay in the charity cemetery any longer."

"Junior brother..." Uncle Jiu opened his mouth to persuade Simu to stay a few more days, but the words could not come out. To Taoist Simu, these zombies he drove away were his customers. As a corpse driver, protecting his customers was his mission.

Taoist Simu insisted on leaving, and Uncle Jiu did not try to keep him out of shame. Qiu Sheng's injuries from the beating during the day had not yet fully healed, and he was kicked by Uncle Jiu again in the evening. Now he was covering his chest and sighing in pain, which made Uncle Jiu so angry that he punished him by not allowing him to eat dinner that day.

After dinner, Ruyi said hello to Uncle Jiu and the others and went back to her room to practice. After Ruyi left, Taoist Simu winked at Uncle Jiu, glanced at Ruyi's back as she left, and asked Uncle Jiu with a strange smile, "Brother, what is the origin of this Miss Ruyi?"

Uncle Jiu shook his head to indicate that it was not convenient now and they should wait until they went to his room in the evening to talk about it. Taoist Simu nodded.

At night, in Uncle Jiu's room, Taoist Simu knocked on the door and pushed open Uncle Jiu's door. As soon as he walked in, he noticed that the layout of Uncle Jiu's room was not right. He looked around the room carefully and soon recognized that this was Maoshan's hidden formation, which was specially used to hide treasures and prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.

"Wow, Senior Brother, such a big scene, it seems that this Miss Ruyi has an extraordinary background."

"Junior brother, you are here, sit down."

Uncle Jiu nodded and motioned for Taoist Simu to sit down. Then he turned around and took out a jade box from under his pillow. "Junior brother, take a look at this."

"Jade box?" Simu took the jade box with a raised tone of voice, and said in surprise, "Brother, what good things are in it? Is the concealment array in your room set up for the things in it?"

Taoist Simu opened the jade box naturally while asking. However, as soon as he saw what was inside the jade box, he suddenly closed the jade box with disbelief on his face.

"I, I am not seeing things, is this the legendary magical herb?"

"Brother, where did you get this thing? Do you have any more? If you have more, I want one too. Hehe, if you don't have any, I wouldn't mind if you could give me some leaves." Although Taoist Simu said he was greedy, his actions did not show any reluctance and he directly returned the jade box to Uncle Jiu.

"This was given to me by Daoist Fellow Ruyi."

"That's why I asked you to come over in the evening to talk about it." Uncle Jiu sighed, and then told Taoist Simu the whole series of circumstances, including how he and Qiu Sheng found Ruyi, how they brought Ruyi back, how they took out the elixir to heal Ruyi's injuries, and how Ruyi took out the magic herb to thank him after he recovered from his injuries.

"Although I originally believed what Daoist Ruyi said, I didn't think that other worlds were anything special."

"But she was able to produce the magical herb that had long disappeared in our world. This makes it really hard for me to rationally view the other world that Daoist Fellow Ruyi mentioned."

"If it is true as Daoist Ruyi said, that the other world she is in is a world that is a little later than the timeline of our current world, then why can there be immortal herbs in her world?"

Now the world where Uncle Jiu and his friends live has entered the Dharma Ending Age. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is already insufficient, and even the path to immortality for those who practice cultivation has been cut off. How can there be enough spiritual energy to breed immortal grass? Even in the future, this situation will not change, unless the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is restored one day in the future.

"But if that's true, it would only take a few decades or even a hundred years to produce immortal herbs. This would not be possible even in the past era of spiritual energy explosion. It would only be possible when the world was first created."
