Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 14: Arched Out
On July 15th, the Ghost Festival, the gates of hell open wide.

"These boys and girls are so ugly."

Early in the morning, the three disciples in the charity cemetery used Uncle Jiu's name card as a pass and began to burn things for the underworld.

Wencai blinked his eyes as he looked at the paper-made figures that Qiu Sheng had bought from the next town.

"Look, the mouth is crooked, the eyes are different, and there is no nose."

“It’s a little ugly, but it’s cheap.”

Qiu Sheng threw the boy and girl into the brazier and said with a smile.

"Anyway, the underworld is pitch black, and it's hard to see clearly."

"That's true. It's the same even if the lights are turned off."

Wencai nodded, then saw the bicycle and was dumbfounded again.

"Why are the wheels on this bicycle square?"

"Square ones are easier to stab than round ones, so they're cheaper. Having two wheels is nice. There are also ones without wheels, but I didn't take any."

"Well, at most it's a bit bumpy to ride. Wait, Master, isn't the list of items gold ingots? Why did you buy silver ingots?"

This time, Wencai answered without waiting for Qiu Sheng to reply.

“It’s cheap!”

"That's it."

Qiu Sheng smiled and was too lazy to deliver each item one by one. No matter what it was, he simply picked it up and threw it into the brazier.

As the paper was put into the fire, with a bang, the flames shot up two or three meters, and the burnt ashes flew into the air under the air current.

After finishing the work, Qiu Sheng dusted himself off and embraced Li Kunshan and Wencai.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

Qiu Sheng didn't keep the secret and took out a silver dollar from his pocket.

"Wow! There's still so much left! I can just split it in half!"

"Of course."

Qiu Sheng looked very proud and said another sentence.

"How about it? The cheap one is good, isn't it?"

"Yeah, yeah, cheap is good."

Wencai nodded repeatedly, thinking that it would be good to make money.

"Let's go! Let's go to the opera!"

One yuan is equivalent to one thousand coins, and a regular opera troupe only charges one hundred coins for a performance. The three brothers are ready to have a good time today.

Bang bang bang~!

While walking down the street, I suddenly heard a burst of rapid gong sounds in the distance.

The three of them were eating snacks bought from a roadside shop when they were startled. What had happened? Could it be that bandits had entered the town?

"A murder has occurred in Ren's residence!"

The sound of the gong was getting closer and closer, and the night watchman came running over and shouted loudly to the crowd.

"Ren Mansion?"

Li Kunshan was stunned and his face changed drastically in an instant.

"not good!"

"Tingting!"

Wencai widened his eyes even more. He wanted to throw it away but couldn't bear to do so. He stuffed the snack in his hand into his mouth in a few seconds, then ran to Ren's house crying in panic.

Li Kunshan and Qiu Sheng did not dare to delay and hurried to catch up.

When we arrived at Ren's house, we saw many people gathered outside to watch the fun.

Li Kunshan and the other two squeezed through the crowd and went in. The security team had already arrived. A body was placed in the middle of the living room. Awei, the security team leader, was examining the body.

"Wow! Such a tragic death."

The three men moved closer and saw that the deceased was bleeding from all seven orifices, his face was pale, and there were several deep holes on his neck.

The deceased was not Ren Fa, but a middle-aged woman, probably a servant in the Ren mansion.

"It's okay, it's not Tingting."

Seeing that it was not his sweetheart, Wencai breathed a sigh of relief.

"My cousin-in-law and my cousin went out yesterday and haven't come back yet. I'm fully responsible for this matter!"

Awei put his hands on his hips and shouted to everyone.

"Now that a murder has occurred, everyone in the Ren Mansion is a suspect. No one is allowed to leave the Ren Mansion until I have investigated thoroughly!"

"Walk."

Li Kunshan pondered for a moment, then pulled Qiu Sheng and Wencai away.

After leaving Ren Mansion, he walked straight out of the town.

"Junior brother, where are we going? The theater is over there." "I'm afraid we won't be able to watch the show today."

Li Kunshan's expression was serious and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

An hour later, the three of them arrived at a desolate wilderness and saw a new grave in front of them.

"Isn't this Old Master Ren's grave? Why are we here..."

Before he could finish his words, when he got closer and took a look, the three people's expressions changed instantly.

The grave was dug open and the coffin lid was opened and thrown aside, but the coffin was empty and Old Master Ren's body was nowhere to be found.

"Who is so wicked as to dig up Old Master Ren's grave?"

"Yeah, I've heard a lot about tomb robbers, but this is the first time I've seen a corpse robber."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Li Kunshan frowned and said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid he pushed it out on his own."

"Did you dig it out yourself?"

"What's the meaning."

"evil Dead!"

Li Kunshan looked around and said two words.

"You mean!"

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai finally understood what was going on and their faces changed drastically.

Before, the corpse of Old Master Ren was about to turn into a zombie, but was suppressed by Uncle Jiu's spell.

Later, the grave was moved smoothly and everyone thought everything was safe, so they didn't think much about it.

Who would have thought that it would come out now.

"You mean! The murders in the Ren family weren't done by humans, but zombies!"

Qiu Sheng reacted faster and thought of it immediately.

"Yes."

Li Kunshan nodded and continued.

"Zombies are brutal and bloodthirsty, and the first thing they do after emerging from their coffins is to attack their blood relatives."

"Blood relatives? No wonder they went to the Ren family."

"It just so happened that Tingting was not here last night."

Wencai smiled triumphantly, but then looked miserable again.

"But Tingting is back today. Will the zombies go looking for her again?"

"Definitely."

"Tingting~!"

Wencai had a sad face and was spinning around in circles in anxiety.

"strangeness……"

Li Kunshan looked at the open coffin and frowned again.

Judging from the current situation, it is definitely a zombie.

But the key point is, Uncle Jiu has made sufficient preparations, so how did the zombies appear?

The magical instrument used to suppress the corpse in the coffin had been destroyed, and the talisman had been rubbed into pieces.

He was actually able to forcibly resist Uncle Jiu's control. Is Old Master Ren really that cruel?

In the movie, Uncle Nine did a lot of work to kill the zombies. But based on the clips and a little information in the movie, it is impossible to judge Ren Weiyong's level of strength.

After all, zombies are different and have different levels.

The only thing that could resist Uncle Jiu's spell was a hairy zombie. If that was the case, then we were in trouble.

After all, unlike in the movie, Uncle Jiu is not here now. How can Li Kunshan and the other three be a match for the zombies?

"Go! Go back!"

After a brief pause, Li Kunshan shouted softly.

Although it is dangerous, as Uncle Jiu's apprentices, they cannot sit idly by now that the zombies have appeared.

After all, they were zombies, completely devoid of humanity. If left alone, they might kill Ren's entire family and then the entire town.

If the nest is overturned, the eggs will be destroyed, and it will be difficult for them to survive. Moreover, if the zombies kill so many people and evolve into more powerful beings, they will be even more difficult to eliminate.

"Yes! Go back quickly and inform Tingting!"

Wencai nodded, looking anxious.

In fact, even if Li Kunshan and Qiu Sheng wanted to be cowards, Wencai could not let go of Ren Tingting.

As for how to deal with zombies, we need to plan carefully.
