As the saying goes, "Simple people often have intuitive perception abilities beyond ordinary people." This is really true when it comes to his daughter.

Besides, Jimmy was extremely considerate and caring towards his daughter. Even an old hand like him could see clearly his attentiveness and consideration.

Hey! Now it's good, my precious daughter has actually eaten the extremely shrewd Jimmy to pieces. This really proves the old saying - brine and tofu, one thing conquers another!

Republic of China

During this turbulent and unstable period of the Republic of China, foreign powers invaded our territory like hungry wolves and greedily plundered our resources and wealth.

The major warlords in the country were not willing to be outdone. They fought and inflicted endless chaos on each other, plunging the entire country into chaos and darkness.

The people were living in dire straits, suffering beyond words. Lacking clothing and food became the norm, and many were forced to leave their homes and wander around in search of a living.

And it was in such a difficult and harsh environment that all kinds of mysterious and strange ghost stories began to spread widely among the people.

Some people say that at night there will be hideous evil spirits roaming in the wilderness and forests, specializing in sucking people's souls.

Others claim that the temple harbors evil spirits capable of controlling life and death, bringing catastrophic disaster upon those provoked. These legends have become increasingly mystical, instilling both fear and reverence in the people.

Renjia Town

义庄

Outside the town, stands a slightly gloomy building - the charity cemetery.

This place was originally just a place to store corpses, but it was also a resting place for corpse drivers who passed by here after a long journey.

However, everything began to change since the Taoist priest named Lin Jiu came to Renjia Town and settled here.

This Taoist priest Lin Jiu possesses unique skills and is proficient in the art of exorcising ghosts and eliminating evil spirits.

After successfully helping the town residents drive away evil spirits and eliminate evil spirits several times, his reputation quickly spread throughout Renjia Town.

The gentry and common people in the town were full of admiration and trust for this Taoist who possessed real abilities.

When they learned that Master Lin did not yet have his own fixed temple, everyone enthusiastically invited him to stay and settle in Renjia Town.

In the end, Lin Jiu chose the charity cemetery as his residence.

Seeing this, the gentry and the common people generously donated money and took the initiative to contribute money and manpower to carry out a large-scale renovation of the charity cemetery.

After renovation, the charity cemetery not only covers a much larger area than before, but also has a more reasonable and refined interior layout. The rooms are spacious, bright, well-ventilated, and fully furnished, making people feel comfortable and warm.

Moreover, a lot of flowers, plants and trees were added around, making the originally gloomy atmosphere suddenly become full of vitality.

Today, the charity cemetery has become a place for Taoist Lin Jiu to rest in Renjia Town. It is also an important base for him to continue to solve problems for the town residents and protect their safety.

"Dong dong dong..."

Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door. Wencai, who had just been beaten by his master, was sweeping the yard listlessly with a broom.

"It must be Yinyin!" As soon as he heard the knock on the door, he excitedly dropped the broom and ran to open the door.

Wencai opened the door and when he saw the person, he felt his eyes light up even though he was very familiar with him.

"Good morning, senior brother!" Ren Yinyin greeted with an energetic smile.

"Junior sister, come in quickly!" Wencai took the bamboo basket from Ren Yinyin's hand with a silly smile.

"I brought breakfast. Where's Master?" As soon as Ren Yinyin came in, he looked everywhere for his Master.

"Master is practicing!" Wencai laughed and brought breakfast to the kitchen, waiting for his master to eat together.

When Uncle Jiu finished practicing, he came out of the room and saw his two apprentices talking and laughing on the stone bench in the courtyard.

"Master!" When Ren Yinyin saw his master, he quickly stood up and greeted him.

"Master, Yinyin brought breakfast. I'll go get it!" Wencai said to his master. Seeing his master nod, he went to the kitchen.

Lin Jiu slowly turned his gaze to his young disciple Ren Yinyin standing beside him, and a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart.

Time flies. The once naive little girl has now grown into a graceful and beautiful young lady.

Ren Yinyin just turned eighteen this year, and has been a disciple of Uncle Jiu for four years.

When she was twelve years old, a sudden disaster struck her family.

Overnight, the whole family was killed by ghosts, and only the young Ren Yinyin survived.

From then on, although the people in the village felt pity for this lonely little girl, they also secretly believed that she had a bad fate and was unlucky in marriage, so they did not dare to get too close to her.

Fortunately, there was a third aunt in the village who had never married in her life. Seeing that Ren Yinyin was a little girl with no one to rely on and had difficulty surviving on her own, she was kind-hearted and decided to take her back to her home and take good care of her.

In this way, Ren Yinyin spent a relatively peaceful time under the protection of her third aunt.

But the good times did not last long. When Ren Yinyin was fourteen years old, her third aunt who had been taking care of her also passed away due to illness.

Now, the people around her avoided Ren Yinyin even more, as if she carried some ominous aura.

Before her death, the third aunt had arranged a place for Ren Yinyin.

She knew very well that life in this world was difficult and dangerous. Not only were there ghosts everywhere, but a young and beautiful single woman like Ren Yinyin would undoubtedly become a piece of delicious fat meat.

After careful consideration, the third aunt thought of Uncle Nine, the owner of the charity cemetery, with whom she had had some interactions.

In the eyes of the Third Aunt, Uncle Jiu is an upright and upright person with noble character. He also possesses unique skills and is very protective of his apprentices.

Therefore, even though the third aunt was seriously ill and bedridden at the time, she still forced herself to go in person with her weak body to beg Uncle Nine to take in and protect Ren Yinyin.

In the end, Uncle Jiu was moved by Third Aunt's sincerity and Ren Yinyin's tragic experience, and agreed to her request.

From then on, Ren Yinyin became Uncle Jiu's disciple.

Ren Yinyin's talent in Taoism was not outstanding, but fortunately, she was quite accomplished in martial arts, and her skills were so agile and nimble that even three or five big men would find it difficult to get close to her.

"Master, Yinyin, come and have dinner!" Wencai's clear voice was heard. He had already placed the steaming hot breakfast and was calling out to the two of them loudly.

As I approached the table, I saw breakfast already laid out. The steamed buns were incredibly soft, the dumplings were juicy, and the tea eggs exuded an alluring aroma.

The rice porridge was cooked to the perfect thickness, sweet and delicious, and even the small dish of pickled vegetables was pickled just right, with the right amount of saltiness and a crisp texture. This breakfast was truly a feast for the eyes, nose, and throat, making one's appetites grow fonder at the mere sight of it.

The master and his two disciples sat around the table, enjoying the delicious breakfast to their heart's content.

Wencai, in particular, was wolfing down food while mumbling praise, "Junior Sister, you're truly a clever and skillful person! Look at the food you cook, it's even better than those chefs!"

Ren Yinyin couldn't help but smile shyly at Wencai's compliment, and said angrily, "Brother, you always tease me!"
