But what was surprising was that even though twenty years had passed, his body showed no signs of decay, as if time had stopped for him.

Ren Yinyin, who was standing aside, looked at the strange scene in front of him and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

She subconsciously moved closer to her master and asked in a low voice, "Master, it's been twenty years. How come he still looks like this?"

Uncle Jiu shook his head gently at her, signaling her not to ask any more questions. Ren Yinyin nodded in understanding and quickly shut her mouth.

At this moment, Ren Fa and Ren Tingting, who were kneeling on the ground, could no longer suppress their grief and burst into tears, calling out "Dad" and "Grandpa" as they cried.

But it was just thunder, no rain!

That’s right, Ren Tingting is only eighteen years old this year, and Old Master Ren has been dead for twenty years. She has never even met this grandfather, so where does the affection come from?

Ren Fa cried for a few times, then stood up and asked Uncle Jiu in a low voice, "Uncle Jiu, can this tomb still be used?

This question makes people look sideways!

Feelings are for yourself!

May our ancestors bless our descendants!

"A dragonfly skims the water, one spot at a time, how can it ever reach a certain direction?" Uncle Jiu shook his head and said.

Ren Fa was a little disappointed. He had finally gotten this dragonfly-skimming water hole, but it turned out to be useless. It was such a waste of effort!

"This acupoint is useless!"

"What should we do then?" Ren Fa didn't want to move his old father's grave to a place that would be of no use to the Ren family.

"I suggest cremating the body on the spot!" Uncle Jiu stared at the corpse in the coffin, and the more he looked, the worse it looked.

"No, no, my father was most afraid of fire!" Ren Fa refused, "I can't do that!"

"Mr. Ren, not cremating the body will really cause big trouble!" Uncle Jiu said solemnly with a serious face.

Ren Fa began to have doubts in his heart, secretly wondering if Uncle Jiu wanted to take the opportunity to raise the price.

A hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his face, but then he thought, since he had already asked Uncle Jiu to help with the matter, as the saying goes, it's better not to bother two people with the same problem, so he said, "No matter what, the body must not be cremated!"

Seeing Ren Fa's firm attitude, everyone around him became anxious and turned their eyes to Uncle Jiu, hoping that he could come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties.

At this time, Ren Yinyin spoke up to remind him, "Master Ren, don't you realize that there's something wrong with this corpse?"

When Ren Tingting heard this, she couldn't help but glance into the coffin out of curiosity, but just that quick glance made her pale in an instant. She quickly shifted her gaze away in horror and didn't dare to look at it again.

In fact, Ren Fa himself knew that there were abnormalities in his father Ren Weiyong's body.

However, considering the current situation of the Ren family, it would be a pity to cremate the body so easily.

No matter what, we must find a good tomb for proper burial, so that our descendants can prosper!

Ren Fa then shook his head firmly again and said to Uncle Jiu, "No need to say more. Cremation is non-negotiable! Uncle Jiu, please find another acupuncture point with excellent feng shui to bury my father. If this matter can be resolved smoothly, I will reward you handsomely!"

Ren Fa obviously wanted to use money as bait to make Uncle Jiu agree to his request.

Uncle Jiu shook his head, "That's not the case..."

"Okay, Uncle Jiu, thank you for your concern!" Ren Fa realized that Uncle Jiu wanted to say something else and interrupted him quickly.

"Alright then!" Uncle Jiu sighed. Ren Fa disagreed, but he couldn't just insist on burning Ren Weiyong. "Just put the body in the charity cemetery first. Tomorrow, I'll find a good grave for the old man so he can rest in peace!"

"Okay, close the coffin and carry it to the funeral home!" Awei ordered loudly. He was the captain of the Renjia Town Security Team, so his words were very effective!

"Mr. Ren, please go back first!" Uncle Jiu said to Ren Fa.

Ren Fa nodded, and he and Ren Tingting sat on the slide and were carried away.

……

Everyone had left, and only the four masters and apprentices were left on the cemetery.

Uncle Jiu, with his hands behind his back, looked at Wencai and Qiusheng with a dignified gaze, and spoke slowly, "You two must quickly head to the tomb and light a plum blossom incense array. Once it has burned, carefully observe its changes in form and report the results to me."

"Oh, I understand, Master!" Wencai and Qiu Sheng responded in unison, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

They were well aware of the strictness of their Master, Uncle Jiu, and they had to complete the tasks he assigned them conscientiously.

Uncle Jiu looked around again, pointed at the graves, and reminded them again: "Remember, don't miss any grave. Be sure to burn incense at each one. This is not only a respect for the deceased, but also the custom of our industry."

"Oh!" Qiu Sheng and Wencai nodded hurriedly to show that they understood.

"Yinyin, come back with me." After saying that, Uncle Jiu turned around and walked forward with steady steps.

Ren Yinyin followed behind them obediently, and from time to time she would turn around and stick out her tongue and make faces at her two senior brothers.

Seeing this, Qiu was so angry that he waved his fist, pretending to teach her a lesson, muttering: "This stinky girl is getting more and more lawless!"

Wencai, who was standing by, was also displeased. He pouted and complained, "Master is really too partial. He leaves all the dirty and tiring work to us, while I, Junior Sister, can just go back with Master and enjoy the good life."

"Hmph, if you have the guts, just say these words in front of Master and Junior Sister!" Qiu Sheng sneered and mocked Wencai.

"Come on, my junior sister is so violent and aggressive. If we really piss her off, we'll definitely get a beating. Besides, Master... he's a well-known petty-minded person. How dare we offend him so easily!" Wencai couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the possible reaction of his Master, Uncle Jiu.

Qiu Sheng smirked and said, "Okay, since you said bad things about Master and Junior Sister, I'm going to go back and tell them!"

"Hey," Wencai said seriously, looking at him in horror, "Are you still a good brother? Are you going to complain about this?"

"Haha, I was just teasing you. Look how scared you are!"

The two of them played and fought for a while, then Wencai went to the tomb to burn incense, and Qiu Sheng went to burn incense on other graves.

……

"People fear the most when something bad happens, and with incense, the worst thing is to have two bad burns and one long burn!" Uncle Jiu held the incense Wencai brought back with a serious expression, frowning and shaking his head and sighing, muttering, "But who could have predicted it would burn like this!"

At this moment, Wencai's eyes were fixed on the exquisite pastries placed on the altar, and he subconsciously reached out to take a piece to satisfy his craving.

Uncle Jiu was quick to act and immediately called out, "Hey, what do you want to do, kid?"

After being scolded by his master, Wencai felt like he was electrocuted and quickly retracted his outstretched hand.

"You know, if this happens to the incense offered at home, a relative will definitely pass away!" Uncle Jiu explained with a serious expression.

Wencai, who was standing by, blinked and asked tentatively, "Master, do you think this bad omen will happen to Master Ren's family?"

Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes at him and asked unhappily, "Why, is it still here?"
