Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

After getting the secret book, Lu Li hurried back to his room to read it, and did not come out to eat until the evening of the next day.

"More haste makes waste. Impatience is the most taboo in practicing Taoism." Uncle Jiu saw that Lu Li was so anxious and was afraid that he would make a mistake.

"Don't worry, Master. I have counted them. Where's Wencai? Why haven't I seen him all day?" Lu Li saw that there were only the master and disciple sitting at the table.

"Wencai went to Shangli Village. There was a family there who wanted to look at a grave, so I asked Wencai to go. He has also entered the late stage of the sect, so there is no danger in the burial."

Lu Li nodded. If jade is not polished, it will not be made into a useful object. It would be a good thing to make something simple.

After dinner, Lu Li went to wash the dishes. He couldn't let Uncle Jiu do this since Wencai was not here.

Afterwards, Lu Li and Uncle Jiu sat in the pavilion in the middle of the yard drinking tea. Looking at the newly renovated charity cemetery, Lu Li couldn't help but sigh at the work of Master Ren.

Lu Li was away for some time. I don’t know what made Mr. Ren suddenly go crazy, but he came to the charity cemetery and said he wanted to renovate it.

Uncle Jiu couldn't stop him.

If you calculate the time, it was when I killed the Nanyang sorcerer's senior and junior brothers in the cave. Master Ren had business dealings with Nanyang for many years.

Maybe it doesn't matter what you heard.

This money is enough to rebuild a charity cemetery, so the houses in the current charity cemetery have been reinforced.

New furniture was also added. The yard was paved with blue bricks, the pavilion was covered with wooden planks painted red, and a marble table was placed in the middle.

The courtyard wall is also made of blue bricks.

However, Uncle Jiu did not let anyone touch Lu Li's room. He just reinforced it and painted the outside.

The charity cemetery now looks a bit like the residence of a hermit.

Mr. Ren knew too well the importance of having someone like Uncle Jiu in the town. He had experienced it personally, so in order to keep Uncle Jiu and his apprentice, money was not a problem.

"Uncle Jiu! Uncle Jiu! Something happened to Wencai!"

There were shouts coming from outside, and Lu Li and Uncle Jiu stood up immediately.

When the two arrived at the door, they saw a villager carrying Wencai on his back, with a woman supporting him.

"Come in first and talk." Uncle Jiu looked solemn.

Several people hurried into the front hall. The villager put Wencai on the recliner and wiped the sweat off his face. Uncle Jiu poured a bowl of water for the villager.

Uncle Jiu and Lu Li looked at the unconscious Wencai, opened his eyelids and saw that nothing was serious.

But his face was pale, and there were several holes in his clothes on his right arm, with blood oozing out. When he lifted the clothes, he saw a scratch mark.

This kid was caught by zombies again.

"What's going on? How did you encounter zombies?" Lu Li asked.

Uncle Jiu took out some snake medicine and applied it to Wencai to help him absorb the poison.

Wencai frowned but didn't wake up.

"It's like this. Wencai went to Shangli Village to look for a grave for the old lady of the Li family. Everything was normal at first, and they found a good place halfway up the East Mountain."

"All that's left is to bury the old lady. So Wencai presided over the funeral, and everyone carried the old lady's coffin into the mountain. Who would have thought..." Before the villager could finish his words, the woman next to him interrupted.

"Who would have thought that the coffin bearers said they couldn't lift the coffin anymore and the old lady refused to go into the mountain. Later, Wencai pasted a corpse-suppressing talisman on the coffin and the coffin was finally lifted. Wencai was so proud at that time."

"Nonsense, the coffin can't be lifted. The deceased is worried. Don't you understand? The deceased must be afraid of what is ahead, or he must have something on his mind that he doesn't want to leave. How can you force him to leave?" Uncle Jiu said angrily.

The female villager shrank her neck and continued, "Then we walked up the mountain. Everything was fine until we buried the body. However, when we finished filling the soil and it was getting dark, we were about to go down the mountain when a zombie jumped up next to the grave."

The woman still looks frightened when she talks about it now, she must have been quite frightened.

"Are you sure it was a zombie jumping out from the ground?" Uncle Jiu asked.

"It's true. I saw it with my own eyes. As soon as we turned around, we heard a puff and a zombie jumped out from the old lady's grave. Everyone was scared." The male villager said quickly.

"Master, it seems that Wencai built the grave on someone else's roof." Lu Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"Yes, yes. There has been a rumor in our village that a high-ranking official during the reign of Emperor Kangxi was buried on this mountain. He died in a war. But as time passed and there were no descendants, the mountain was washed away by rain and we have forgotten where he was buried." The male villager felt that this man was a god and knew everything.

“How did Wencai get injured?” Uncle Jiu felt that Wencai was at least in the late stage of entry, and had experienced so many things with him, so he would not be able to escape.

The female villager lowered her head and said, "Wencai left first to protect us and the villagers, and took the initiative to stay behind to lure away the zombies. He caught up with us half a day after we arrived in the village. He said to go back to the charity cemetery quickly and then fainted."

When he saw the woman's face turn red and she smiled shyly when she mentioned Wencai, he already had a good impression of her.

"This silly boy." Lu Li nodded in appreciation. Well done to him, he finally got brave enough for a woman.

Uncle Jiu also smiled and nodded, not losing face.

"Ugh."

Wencai groaned, opened his eyes, and saw Uncle Jiu and Lu Li surrounding him, and shouted.

"Master, help me, there are zombies!"

"You embarrassed me right after I praised you. All you knew was to cry for help." Uncle Jiu's eyebrows were linked into one line with anger.

Lu Li smiled and said, "I saved you, don't I? Tell me, what is the strength of that zombie?"

Wencai recalled the battle with zombies.

"It feels similar to what happened to Old Master Ren. I lured the zombie away and then ambushed it with an inkstone net. When it was struggling to break free, I held my breath and escaped."

Lu Li and Uncle Jiu looked at each other and said in unison, "Green Zombie."

The ink fountain net is undoubtedly a green zombie. If it jumps, it will be hurt by the ink fountain net, but it can break free quickly.

There is no way Wencai will escape back to the village. Holding his breath is not a long-term solution.

That’s right, it’s not a corpse-raising ground. It’s already pretty good for the zombies that died naturally from unnecessary deaths to grow into green zombies after a few hundred years.

"Master, I'll go there."

"Okay, just go." Lu Li felt relieved when he went to Uncle Jiu. A Jindan Zhenren could kill a green zombie with his eyes closed. He went to the charity cemetery to treat Wencai's injuries.

Shangli Village is not far away from Renjia Town in the south. Lu Li used his internal energy to travel quickly and arrived there in less than half an hour.

The village had just experienced a zombie incident, so everyone turned off the lights and closed their doors.

He found the home of Old Lady Li mentioned by the villagers, and it was a wealthy family. They could ask Uncle Jiu to look after the grave, so they were obviously not short of money. Lu Li pushed the door and walked in.

Several men and women in the living room were trembling and hugging each other, obviously still very frightened.

"Don't be afraid, I'm Uncle Jiu's disciple Lu Li, and I'm here specifically to get rid of zombies."

Hearing Lu Li say this, a man who looked like a master said, "You are Uncle Jiu's disciple, so please save me."

"Don't worry, I'm here to tell you, don't panic."

After leaving Old Lady Li's house, Lu Li walked towards the East Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, he found Wencai's inkstone net, which had been torn into pieces, and there was a faint smell of corpse around it.

Close your eyes and release your spiritual awareness.

"Got you."

Lu Li discovered Old Lady Li’s grave, and there was a hole on the side that was emitting miasma.

When we arrived at the entrance of the cave, it was pitch black inside.

This is actually a stolen hole! The edges are neat and obviously repaired.

Lu Li would not go in rashly. He took out two fire talismans, waved his hand to make the talismans burn, and threw them down.

"Roar"

He was disturbed one after another. In the afternoon, he watched someone building a house on his roof, which made him very angry. This time, someone set fire to his house.

This is simply too bullying.

So he jumped out of the cave, and Lu Li saw a green-faced zombie jumping out, stretching out its hands to grab him.

Without even drawing his lightning sword, he kicked the zombie in the face, causing it to slide back five or six meters. Before the zombie could stop, Lu Li turned his right palm upwards and swung out a lightning whip that wrapped around the zombie's neck.

He stretched out his hand and pulled, and the zombie was pulled over with its trembling body. Lu Li didn't want to keep it.

But I saw something under his ribs.

There was something like a dagger inserted diagonally under the zombie's ribs. Lu Li was very familiar with this thing.

This is a kunai. With one whip, the zombie was crushed into pieces. With a wave of his hand, the kunai on the ground fell into Lu Li's hand.

There are runes engraved on it, and it is rusty and obviously quite old.

This means that the robbers also dug the hole and stole things right at my doorstep.

Although it has been a long time, one can still see how deep the plan was, as even the tomb of an official who had served for many years was robbed.

Lu Li flattened the hole made by the robbers with one punch, and then came to the grave of Old Lady Li.

"The zombies have been eliminated, old man, please live in peace."

No one responded from inside the grave, but the green grass surrounding the grave slightly bent towards Lu Li.

With a slight smile, Lu Li went down the mountain and went to Li's house again to tell them that the zombies on the mountain had been eliminated.

Amid the Li family’s numerous thanks, Lu Li hurried back to the charity cemetery.
