No taboos in the world

Chapter 291 Fake corpse

"Three fingers, isn't that three days?"

"Three days? I suspect you are insulting me."

"But... three years is too long, right?"

"Are you thirty years old this year?"

"No."

"That's right. Since you haven't lived through ten three-year periods, how can you say that three years is too long?"

After Hong Chen said this, Wen Cai was stunned, and he felt his head itching uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Hong Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's just washing clothes for three years. I'm not confiscating your three years' salary. What are you afraid of? You are so old, don't you even have the strength to wash clothes?"

Seeing his suspicious expression, Wencai immediately rolled up his sleeves angrily, revealing his two skinny arms. He gritted his teeth and bent his arms hard, saying, "Junior brother, open your eyes and take a good look. I have such a strong body. How dare you say that I have no strength?"

Hong Chen's eyes widened and he clapped his hands repeatedly: "Wow, Senior Brother is so awesome!"

Wencai couldn't help but raise his chin, snorted twice, and then said: "Okay, three years is three years, it's just washing clothes, what's the big deal."

"Brother is awesome!"

"Hey, hey, it's good that you know!"

Wencai turned around proudly and went to Hong Chen's room to pick up the dirty clothes.

Qiu Sheng, who was watching the whole process, shook his head with sympathy.

After Wencai left, he came close to Hong Chen and whispered, "Junior brother, if you lie to him like this, aren't you afraid that he will suddenly figure it out and cause trouble for you one day?"

Hong Chen glanced at him: "If he can figure it out, can I still deceive him?"

"That's true."

Qiu Sheng nodded in approval, stood up, and said, "Master has gone to the Ren family to inform Master Ren. Wencai is going to do the laundry, and I'm going to help my aunt in her store. Junior brother, how about you come out and play with me?"

Hearing this, Hong Chen turned his head and glanced into the coffin room. Seeing Ren Weiyong staying in the coffin obediently, he nodded and said, "Okay, come to think of it, I've never really visited Renjia Town."

"You were weak before, and Master treats you like a treasure. He won't feel at ease until you are in front of him. Let's go. I'll take you on my bicycle and bring you back in the evening."

"Well, thank you, senior brother."

"Why are you being so polite? We are brothers in the same school, no worse than brothers in the same family. By the way, do you want to bring a sword?"

Hong Chen shook his head repeatedly: "No, no."

Qiu Sheng was suddenly a little disappointed.

After leaving the hospital, he got on his bicycle and deliberately tilted it to the side to make it easier for Hong Chen to get on.

The two of them walked one after the other through the tree-lined path and headed towards the town.

The temperature in the forest is not high during the day either. This is not only because of the shade, breeze and water vapor, but more importantly, it is the negative energy gathered from the cemeteries buried in the forest and the bodies of people who have been abandoned in the wilderness for a long time.

Of course, this little bit of Yin energy is not enough to hurt people. At most, it will make people catch a cold, which can be cured by drinking a bowl of ginger soup.

Uncle Jiu is right. This is the way the world is. Every year, many people die unexpectedly before their full life span, and the number is even increasing.

Seeing more and more Maoshan disciples in the mortal world is not a good thing, even Maoshan itself thinks so.

Taoist practice is mostly focused on detachment from the world, and is not deeply involved in the secular world, and some people even deliberately avoid it.

Just like what doctors say, "I wish there was no one sick in the world, I would rather let the medicine gather dust on the shelf", Taoists also hope that there will not be so many evil spirits in the world.

Generally speaking, it is not good for Taoist practitioners to be exposed to too much worldly energy. Specifically speaking, even Taoists themselves find it troublesome.

Uncle Jiu is very talented. If he had not stayed for a long time to eliminate harm from the world, and if he had stayed in Maoshan to practice meditation, his cultivation would surely be far beyond his current level.

However, few of the Maoshan disciples would ignore the filthiness of the world in order to practice pure cultivation and stay in Maoshan with a peaceful mind.

Even the master, the Lightning King Shi Jian, often went down the mountain to eliminate evil. Whenever his fellow disciples sent a letter for help, although he was merciless in words, he was not slow in action at all.

These were what Uncle Jiu said when he chatted with Hong Chen sporadically in the past.

Renjia Town, in front of the rouge shop.

"Little Junior Brother, you can't run around. If Master finds out, he will definitely not let me off."

"Understood. I'll come over for dinner later."

"That's good. Do you have money?"

"I brought five dollars. Is that enough?"

Qiu Sheng was shocked when he heard this, "So many? Where did you put them?"

Hong Chen patted his chest.

Qiu Sheng quickly held down his hand: "You can't touch it so often. It will be troublesome if someone notices it. Why do you carry so much money with you?"

“I’m afraid it won’t be enough.”

"You are such a young child, you can't even spend a dollar to buy some food, drinks and toys. How about I keep the rest for you?"

Hong Chen raised his eyebrows: "You want to cheat me of my money?"

Qiu Sheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Even if I really wanted to, I wouldn't dare to. I'm afraid you'd lose it."

"Don't worry, I won't lose it. You can recall my skills."

A scene from long ago suddenly appeared in Qiu Sheng’s mind.

With just a small body and two hands, he could easily lift a large water tank full of water.

"Okay. But don't buy random things, or Master won't let me go."

"I heard you, I heard you, go and do your own thing!" After saying that, Hong Chen walked unsteadily onto the street with his hands behind his back.

As mentioned earlier, Renjia Town has a superior geographical location and well-developed water transportation, so it has attracted merchants from all over the world and even from foreign countries.

As a result, you can buy almost all the most advanced foreign gadgets of this era in Renjia Town.

The reason why he sneaked out to go shopping was naturally not because he really wanted to go shopping.

In a few days, it will be the master's birthday, and he has to prepare a birthday gift for the master in advance. Although Uncle Jiu doesn't care about these, as a disciple, he can't ignore them.

Hong Chen walked around a lot, looked at many shops, but still couldn't find the gift he wanted. Because Uncle Jiu had protected him so well in the past three years, not many people in the town recognized him, so everyone looked at him with curiosity.

But to be honest, there was almost no malicious look in them.

People nowadays are really simple.

After walking around for most of the day, Hong Chen's eyes suddenly lit up and he walked into a pocket watch shop.

Half an hour later, he walked out with satisfaction.

After looking at the sky, I went straight to the rouge shop.

When Qiu Sheng's aunt learned that he was coming to dinner, she bought some braised pig ears. Hong Chen had said that this dish was delicious when they had dinner together last time, and the kind-hearted aunt actually remembered it.

After the meal, Hong Chen thanked his aunt politely. His aunt also gave him some snacks, filling a big bag, and then told Qiu Sheng to make sure to get him back safely.

When I got on the bike, the sun had already set.

The forest in the moonlight added a sense of weirdness to the quiet environment.

Hong Chen saw the tree trunk that knocked Dong Xiaoyu off the car that night, grabbed Qiu Sheng's clothes and shook them, saying, "Brother, you go back and forth in the woods every night, are you afraid of encountering ghosts?"

Qiu Sheng said cheerfully, "What's there to be afraid of? Ghosts are also transformed from humans. If it really kills me, and I become a ghost, who knows who will be more ferocious. Junior brother, you are still young, you don't know that sometimes humans are scarier than ghosts."

"for example?"

"For example, Master when he's angry!"

"Oh~~~" Hong Chen dragged out the sound.

Qiu Sheng braked his bicycle suddenly, turned around and said in panic: "Junior brother, you can't betray me!"

Hong Chen smiled: "How could that be?"

"This... Junior Brother, do you know that you are smiling like a little fox right now? Tell me, what are your conditions?"

"Let me think about it. Someone has already washed my clothes for the next three years, but the snacks for the next three years..."

Qiu Sheng immediately said, "I'll pay for it, but you know Master usually doesn't leave us much money."

"It's okay, once a month is enough. As for the quantity, how about just using the ones my aunt gave me?" As he spoke, Hong Chen raised the bag of snacks in his hand.

"……OK!"

Passing through the forest, the charity cemetery is in sight.

From a distance, Hong Chen saw a figure suddenly jump several meters high on the moonlit street, and after landing, it jumped more than ten meters away, and the frequency and speed were astonishingly fast. It disappeared at the end of the road in almost a blink of an eye.

"Fuck!"

"Huh? Children shouldn't use bad words!"

Hong Chen jumped off the bicycle and said quickly: "Brother, something happened. I'll go over first. You be careful." He took a step and crossed several feet in the air, as if he had the magical power to shrink the ground into an inch, and he was far away in the blink of an eye.

Qiu Sheng stopped there for a long while, then pedaled hard and shouted, "Wait for me, Junior Brother! If something happens, you must not run around!"

Hong Chen quickly came to the charity cemetery. The gate was not closed, so he could see Wencai sleeping again at a glance, but Uncle Jiu was nowhere to be seen.

As I stepped over the threshold, a bloody smell suddenly hit me in the face.

He turned his head and saw two black goats that had been sucked dry lying in the corner of the yard. The bodies of both goats had begun to rot and the pus that flowed out had eroded the soil to a charred black.

This green zombie is really poisonous!
Then the problem is coming.

Why would Ren Weiyong rather suck sheep's blood than turn a blind eye to the talented people cheering loudly in the lobby?

Should we say that it is the blessing of the ancestors, or is it that Wencai has really become so bad that even zombies don't want to have anything to do with him?
Snapped!
After a slap, Wencai jumped up from the bed again.

He thought it was his master who had returned, and was about to run away, but when he saw Hong Chen, he relaxed immediately and said indignantly, "Little Junior Brother, what are you doing? Didn't you say you wouldn't come back for dinner?"

Hong Chen frowned and pointed towards the coffin room.

"Do you think now is the time to discuss dinner?"

Wencai turned his head and looked.

I saw that there was a big hole in the roof of the coffin room.

"Oh my god! Who did this?!"

Hong Chen dragged him to the door of the coffin room, and a broken coffin immediately came into their eyes.

"Pretending...pretending to be dead?" Wencai was shocked and could not help stammering.

Hong Chen asked: "Where is the Master?"

Wencai said with a bitter face: "After the meal, Master checked the coffin and wanted to sprinkle more glutinous rice, but found that there was not enough glutinous rice in the charity cemetery. He asked me to wait for you at home while he went to buy some glutinous rice."

"Why don't you go?"

"I...I feel a little uncomfortable after washing clothes..."

Hong Chen couldn't help but raise his voice: "You can sleep so soundly even if you are not feeling well!!"

Wencai immediately lowered his head deeply.

Seeing that he wished he could bury his head, Hong Chen immediately became furious.

He knew that Uncle Jiu would be at the charity cemetery in the evening, so he didn't rush back.

Although the green zombies are fierce, Uncle Jiu's methods are not for show. Uncle Jiu has spent most of his life fighting against good and evil, and he has countless ways to deal with zombies.

Besides, even if Uncle Jiu feels pressure, this kind of pressure is beneficial to him rather than harmful.

It is well known that intense battles are more likely to lead to breakthroughs.

Uncle Jiu hasn't made any progress for a long time.

At this moment, one suddenly hears a flock of birds flapping their wings and flying towards them. The overlapping sharp cries are even more frightening in the darkness.

Looking up, a large flock of birds of all species gathered together and flew over the charity cemetery, looking like they were escaping from a predator.

He withdrew his gaze, and without saying anything more, he quickly threw down a few words and rushed out of the yard again.

"When Master comes back, tell him I'm at Ren's house!"
