A passerby in a horror movie

In just a day or two, Li Haotian only learned the basics, but at least he was starting to look the part.

"Ding! Holiday is over and you're about to return. Countdown begins: 10, 9, 8..."

Soon, the three-day holiday came to an end.

Before leaving, Li Haotian specifically asked Qing Songzi if he would be away for a few days.

Then, finding a secluded spot, as the countdown ended, he was swallowed by golden light and vanished from the spot.

Qing Songzi knew that Li Haotian had something to do, so he didn't stop him from leaving. However, he told him to take good care of himself and to come back if things got really bad. He said that his master would take responsibility if anything happened.

After arriving at the space, Li Haotian immediately ran to the bedroom and dialed the phone again.

This time the call was connected very quickly.

"Hey, Master, can you hear me?"

Li Haotian shouted into the phone.

"I heard you, Xiaotian, are you alright? Where are you now?"

Qing Songzi answered the phone and said with a smile.

Although it was very strange to make a phone call across the world, Qing Songzi didn't know that and thought Li Haotian had gone to another place.

Li Haotian waited a few minutes, then checked the time with Qing Songzi and found that the time flow was indeed the same, which put his mind at ease.

"Master, don't hang up the phone. I'll let you know later."

Li Haotian gave instructions.

If the flow of time were not kept constant, he didn't know how long he would have to wait to be ordained.

Holiday talismans aren't always available. If he has to wait ten or eight worlds to get one, then the ordination ceremony will be a long way off.

Qing Songzi knew Li Haotian's plan and naturally did as he was told.

Li Haotian called the Taoist temple's landline this time. No one usually uses it, so leaving it on all the time doesn't cause any problems.

"A client is summoning you. Please prepare to travel through time."

Just as Li Haotian was about to continue his conversation with Qing Songzi, a sound suddenly rang out from the spatial dimension.

Li Haotian quickly grabbed his backpack, and in an instant, golden light appeared beneath his feet, engulfing him.

With a blink of an eye, Li Haotian found himself in an unfamiliar world.

Under the blazing sun, it was daytime. Surrounded by a grove of trees, there was a rather large brick-and-tile courtyard not far away.

Just as Li Haotian was about to step forward to check the situation, a vibration suddenly came from inside his backpack.

Li Haotian quickly took out his phone, which this time turned into a mechanical box. The virtual screen displayed the commission information and an attached video.

At the same time, his identity information was instantly transmitted into his mind.

"Uncle Jiu of the mortuary took in two apprentices, but he was very dissatisfied with both of them."

Wencai is ignorant and incompetent, and all he does is slack off and cheat all day long. Qiusheng has some talent, but he has only learned leg skills and is not interested in cultivating magic. He thinks about eating, drinking and having fun all day long.

Uncle Nine was very disappointed with his two successors and hoped someone could help him find a good apprentice to inherit his mantle and pass on his skills.

After reading the commission information, Li Haotian instantly understood what world he had entered.

Li Haotian was naturally very familiar with the names Uncle Nine, Wencai, and Qiusheng, which clearly indicated that this was the world of Mr. Zombie.

"I never expected to end up here."

Li Haotian murmured.

But then I thought about it again, and this world was very much in line with his wish.

Uncle Nine is hailed as a holy master of all realms, and countless transmigrators have become his disciples.

Since Li Haotian wants to learn Taoist magic and martial arts, then Uncle Nine can be considered a very suitable master.

Although Uncle Nine might trick his apprentices, he's still a decent person. As long as Li Haotian can gain Uncle Nine's favor, learning some skills is no problem at all.

Moreover, his current identity is somewhat related to Uncle Nine.

According to the information transmitted from the space, he is now a disciple of one of Uncle Nine's fellow disciples. Although this fellow disciple and Uncle Nine are not from the same lineage, their relationship is still quite good.

However, this senior brother passed away not long ago.

Li Haotian was his apprentice whom he took in half a year ago. He had returned from studying abroad and had not yet graduated from his master's tutelage.

Before his death, his master asked the sect to entrust him to Uncle Jiu, asking Uncle Jiu to teach him for a period of time.

This identity was excellent, allowing Li Haotian to legitimately seek guidance from Uncle Jiu, which made him secretly delighted.

However, after thinking about the task he was entrusted with, Li Haotian felt somewhat troubled.

The task assigned was to find a reliable disciple for Uncle Nine to pass on his skills.

He himself was definitely not up to the task. Although Li Haotian considered himself very reliable, he could not stay in this world for long.

Therefore, it is not suitable for him to become an apprentice. Moreover, whether in this world or the original world, he already has a master and it is impossible for him to change his sect.

Finding an apprentice for Uncle Nine is extremely difficult; the apprentice must satisfy Uncle Nine, and such a person must be of good character and talent.

At the very least, one should not betray one's master like Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng did.

Although Uncle Nine is very powerful, none of his apprentices in the movies are reliable and often cause him a lot of trouble.

Perhaps that's why Uncle Nine had this wish.

"Never mind, there's no time limit anyway, let's see first."

Li Haotian thought to himself.

With so many people in this world, I'm sure I can find a suitable apprentice. The most urgent thing now is to go see Uncle Nine and settle down at the mortuary first.

Li Haotian watched the video once, quickly skimming the plot.

Li Haotian had watched the movie "Mr. Vampire" several times and was very familiar with the plot, but he had overlooked some details. After watching the movie, he became much more familiar with the details.

The brick and tile house not far away was Uncle Nine's mortuary. Li Haotian sorted out the plot as he walked towards the mortuary.

Story content:

Mr. Ren, a wealthy man in Renjia Town, followed the advice of a feng shui master and decided to relocate his father's grave in twenty years.

Therefore, he specially sought the assistance of Uncle Jiu, a Taoist priest from the Maoshan School in the area. On the day the coffin was opened, Uncle Jiu was surprised to find that the grave of Old Master Ren was located in a "dragonfly skimming the water" burial site, and his body had not decomposed for twenty years.

Uncle Nine had doubts, so he decided to move the coffin to the mortuary where he lived to observe it.

However, Old Master Ren's body turned into a zombie and cruelly murdered him.

Knowing that Tingting was in danger, Uncle Nine took her into his home for protection. Meanwhile, Uncle Nine's two apprentices, Wencai and Qiusheng, both developed feelings for Tingting, which led to a conflict with Tingting's cousin.

One night, Wen Cai was bitten by a zombie while protecting Ren Tingting and was infected with the zombie poison, gradually turning into a zombie himself.

On his way back from buying glutinous rice, Qiu Sheng was also bewitched by the female ghost Xiao Yu.

The zombies' serial killings caused public panic. As a result, the security captain, Ah Wai, Uncle Nine, Man Choi, Chiu Sang, and Ting Ting joined forces and, with the help of Master Four Eyes, finally eliminated the zombies.

The world of Mr. Zombie has zombies, Taoist priests, ghosts, and naturally, gods. Moreover, this world also has the Maoshan Sect.

However, Li Haotian knew that the Maoshan Sect in the Mr. Zombie world was different from his own sect.

The Maoshan School, also known as the Shangqing School, worships Yuanshi Tianzun as its main deity. The founders of the school are Wei Huacun, Lu Xiujing, and others. They do not actually have a direct connection with the Three Mao True Lords.

The Shangqing School is also known as the Maoshan School because the school was established on Maoshan Mountain, and therefore the Three Mao True Lords were worshipped there. Over time, the Shangqing School also became known as the Maoshan School.

In the real world, the Shangqing School is not known for catching ghosts or zombies, and they are not even that enthusiastic about drawing talismans.

The Shangqing School emphasizes preserving the spirit and guiding the body, focusing on the cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit.

However, the world of Mr. Zombie is clearly very different.

The Maoshan Sect here is almost synonymous with zombies; when Maoshan is mentioned, eight out of ten sentences are about zombies.

Uncle Nine deserves the most credit for this; he even broke through the dimensional barrier and affected the real world, causing the Shangqing sect Taoists in the real world to be often misunderstood.

Shaking his head, Li Haotian stopped thinking about these things and stood at the entrance of the mortuary.

Li Haotian composed himself, then pulled the door knocker and began to knock.

"Dong dong dong."

The noise from the gate quickly alerted the people inside.

"Who is it?"

The door opened, and a man with a mushroom haircut, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, wearing old clothes and with a bitter expression, opened the door.

This man was Wen Cai, whom Li Haotian recognized at a glance after watching the movie.

"Hello, is this the mortuary of Uncle Lin Jiu?"

Li Haotian asked Wen Cai very politely.

Upon hearing Li Haotian's words, Wen Cai looked him up and down, feeling somewhat puzzled.

He had never seen Li Haotian's face before, so he was definitely not from Renjia Town.

Moreover, Li Haotian's attire and appearance were quite unusual, and he didn't seem to be from this place at all.

The clothes Li Haotian wore, though just ordinary styles in the real world, were still very novel and impactful for this era.

However, now it is the Republic of China, and many people are open to new ideas, and many people wear foreign suits and the like.

Therefore, Wen Cai subconsciously assumed that Li Haotian was one of those so-called progressive youths.

But judging from Li Haotian's words, he calls his master "Shishu" (a term of respect for a senior disciple), which is very strange. Li Haotian doesn't look like a Taoist at all.

"Who are you, and what do you want with my master?"

Wencai inquired.

“My name is Li Haotian, a disciple of Master Gao. Before my master passed away, he entrusted me to my uncle, and I would like to study under him for a while.”

Li Haotian spoke slowly.

His identity was given to him by the space, so it can naturally withstand investigation.

What's even more amazing is that the master assigned to him by the space had the exact same name as his grandmaster in the real world.

Li Haotian couldn't help but wonder if there was some connection between the two.

"Oh, you're Master Gao's apprentice. Master told me you should be coming over in the next few days. Come in quickly."

After hearing Li Haotian's words, Wen Cai realized what was happening and quickly invited Li Haotian in.

"Master isn't here today, so you should find a room to stay in. Oh, by the way, Uncle Four Eyes is here too, you can go see him later."

"Here, you can stay here. This guest room is unoccupied, and everything inside has been tidied up."

Wen Cai rambled on and on as he spoke to Li Haotian.

People rarely come to the mortuary. It was a rare occasion for someone of his age to come, and he was also a fellow disciple. Naturally, he had to have a good talk with him and treat him well, so that his master would not blame him for not being hospitable.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Wencai."

Li Haotian quickly thanked him.

Since I'm going to learn the Dao from Uncle Nine, I need to build good relationships with the people here. Even if he doesn't have a good impression of Wencai, I still need to show him the proper courtesy.

Although Wencai is unreliable, he was raised by Uncle Jiu, so he can be considered half a son.

Even if Wencai cannot inherit Uncle Jiu's mantle, Uncle Jiu will not abandon him. If Li Haotian shows disdain for Wencai, Uncle Jiu will definitely be dissatisfied.

After putting his things down, Li Haotian followed Wen Cai to the room where Master Simu was.
