Age of Empires From Scratch

David noticed that when Mr. Ren heard his daughter say that he was just a friend she had just met and that he was Instructor Hu's neighbor and not his boyfriend, Mr. Ren felt pity and was relieved at the same time.

Then he whispered to his daughter, "It's okay, this young man is too handsome." ’ ‘Daughter, if you find such a boyfriend, I’m afraid you will be very angry in the future. ’ something like that…

After listening to a few words, David stopped paying attention and looked around curiously.

Ren's house and decoration are very retro, completely different from modern cities.

In addition, Renjia Village is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and it is like entering another era.

However, the village still has some modern infrastructure, ensuring basic water, electricity and telephone communications, so it cannot be said to be truly isolated from the world.

After chatting for a while and drinking a few sips of tea, everyone set off to the grave of Mr. Ren’s father.

The journey was not close, but none of them were in poor physical condition. Except for David, the three girls were all special police officers.

Mr. Ren's legs and feet were also very strong. He walked there with a group of young men hired to work, and he was not left behind.

As soon as he left the village, David noticed a man with short gray hair and two eyebrows connected together. He was wearing a yellow monk's robe and was waiting here with two young people.

"Uncle Nine."

"Master Ren."

After greeting each other, Mr. Ren introduced his daughter, David and others, and finally solemnly introduced a few people: "Uncle Jiu is the master I invited to preside over the ceremony. Next, we will find a Feng Shui treasure land as a new tomb. , also managed by Uncle Jiu with the help of him."

Uncle Jiu looked very dignified, but he was very polite when talking to everyone, and greeted Hu Huishan, David and others with a smile.

Because they showed off their Feng Shui knowledge without meeting each other, spoke politely, and did not hand over business cards to solicit business, the few Bawanghua did not dislike the Taoist priest nicknamed Uncle Jiu.

Much better than the Zhong Fabai he met yesterday who cursed people with bloody disasters upon meeting him.

At this time, Munn... or Ren Tingting also mentioned what happened yesterday, complaining to her father that she met a crazy person yesterday, saying that she had suffered a bloody disaster or something.

Uncle Jiu, who had already introduced his name to everyone as Lin Jiu, frowned and looked at Ren Tingting when he heard this.

I didn't notice it before I didn't look carefully, but when I looked carefully now, it turned out to be exactly what the weird man in Ren Tingting's words said, and not only Ren Tingting was like this, but her father, Mr. Ren, had a darker head.

"How is this going?"

He had met Mr. Ren a few days ago. Why didn't he notice Mr. Ren's condition at that time?

An ominous premonition arose in my heart, and I felt that today's work might not be that simple, and something might happen.

Walking to his two apprentices, these two unsatisfactory things only looked at Master Ren's daughter and her daughter's friends: "My eyes are about to pop out."

He scolded a few words in a low voice, asking the two of them to be more alert today and not just look at girls.

After giving the instructions, I happened to hear Ren Tingting say the last sentence, "That weirdo said that I might encounter disaster, then turned around and suddenly said that I can turn disaster into good luck. It's really inexplicable..."

Hearing this, Lin Jiu was confused and couldn't figure out why the colleague suddenly changed his words?

Is he a liar who just deceives people? Are you frightened by the identity of these people as police officers? Don't want any extra trouble?

You can't be seeing something weird, right?

With various thoughts running through my head, I soon reached my destination.

After seeing the grave of Mrs. Ren, Lin Jiu temporarily put aside all kinds of problems and prepared to get down to business first.

At worst, I can walk around with Mr. Ren more in the next few days. If I encounter any trouble, he will be able to take action in time.

Worships were paid, tombstones were removed, and coffins were dug out.

After a set of procedures, Lin Jiu had already discovered something was wrong.

After asking Master Ren, I learned that this tomb was taken from a Feng Shui master and was manipulated by that Feng Shui master. Therefore, in the past twenty years, the Ren family's business has been getting worse and worse. They are buried in a Feng Shui treasure land. Mr. Ren not only failed to bless future generations, but actually harmed them.

"Fortunately, that person has some conscience and lets you move your grave in twenty years. It will only harm you for half your life, not your whole life, and it will harm you for one generation, but not for eighteen generations."

However, when the coffin was dug out and opened for inspection, Lin Jiu found something wrong: the black smoke was lingering and the body was not rotten. No matter how you looked at it, something was wrong. He suggested that Master Ren cremate the old man's body on the spot.

"Absolutely not. My father was most afraid of fire when he was alive."

David was watching the fun and wanted to complain when he heard this: Who is not afraid of fire when alive? Oh, I'm not afraid! That's fine.

No matter how Lin Jiu tried to persuade him, Master Ren refused to agree to cremation. In desperation, Lin Jiu had no choice but to have the coffin carried to Yizhuang for temporary storage until a suitable grave was found before burying it.

David watched around for a long time. After hearing about Yizhuang, he curiously asked Hu Huishan next to him: "Is there still Yizhuang now?"

He didn't pretend not to know what it was, but he was surprised that such a place still existed.

"Some remote villages still have yizhuang. The main reason is that many villages retain old customs. Whether it is before burial or moving the grave, they need a temporary storage place, so they are still preserved."

However, with the development of the times, there are fewer and fewer Yizhuangs. The few remaining ones are in a semi-abandoned state and are expected to disappear completely in a few years.

"I didn't expect that there is another family here, and there are people guarding it."

Hu Huishan felt that Uncle Jiu would not be able to see him for a few more years, and he would definitely have to change his job to make a living in a few years.

She wondered if it was because Yizhuang had no stable income that he developed a side job: part-time Taoist priest, Feng Shui master, etc. to make some extra money.

She was not prepared to comment on this situation. If someone believed in these things, then someone would make a living from it. If there was no ninth uncle, there would be eighth uncles and seventh aunts.

At least Uncle Jiu seems to be honest and kind and won't deliberately deceive others.

After finishing all these things, Master Ren took his daughter back home and prepared to set up a table of delicious food to entertain everyone. During this period, he and Uncle Jiu had a serious discussion about the new tomb.

David couldn't get in the middle of these matters at all. Fortunately, he could chat with Hu Huishan. Karen and Moon, that is, Ren Tingting, were also more willing to talk to David.

The young people were able to chat together. Uncle Jiu's two apprentices also wanted to join in, but after listening for a while, they found that they had no chance to interrupt.

These people were talking about things in the city, or about training in the police force. They finally talked about kung fu and fighting. They felt that they finally had a common topic, but before they could speak, the master ordered: "Hurry up. Eat, then go back early to guard Yizhuang."

"Yes, Master." ×2.

After the two disciples left, Lin Jiu and Master Ren had almost finished talking about the business. At this time, they could use more chopsticks and eat something.

It was only then that he noticed David opposite.

He smiled and nodded, and praised in his heart, "What a handsome young man." Suddenly something didn't feel right, and the chopsticks in his hands stopped in the air.

"Huh?" Lin Jiu looked at David carefully again and asked curiously: "Where does this Mr. David come from?"

"London, England."

"Mr. David can be trusted?"

"..." David blinked. He didn't expect Lin Jiu to suddenly ask such a question. He had never encountered this kind of situation before.

After thinking for a while, he replied with a solution that wouldn't be a big problem: "I'm not a devout believer."

Just ask and believe whatever you want. Just guess what you believe specifically!

Similar situations are not surprising. They can be seen everywhere in the world, but Lin Jiu became even more confused after hearing this. She always felt that David's situation could never be explained casually.

Could it be that this young man named David is some great power from the West who descended to earth or was reincarnated?

However, he could tell that several young people did not believe in these things. If he asked such questions, he would not get any results.

At the same time, he suddenly understood why Ren Tingting had previously said that she had met a weirdo and said she would be in bloody disaster, but suddenly changed her story and said that she could turn disaster into good luck.

Presumably that colleague also saw the situation of this young man.

With such a young man who is comparable to the human-sized Sun Zhenhuo by his side, no evil spirits can get close to him, and he will naturally be able to turn evil into good luck.

Just as he was thinking this, the two apprentices who had just been sent back by him suddenly ran back noisily.

"Master, it's not good!"

"What happened?" Lin Jiu knew something big must have happened when he looked at the expressions of the two apprentices.

I didn't even bother to finish the meal, so I put down my chopsticks and immediately asked for details.

When I heard the result, Mrs. Ren's coffin exploded into pieces and the body disappeared. I immediately felt my scalp numb, knowing that this time something serious was going on.

When he lifted the coffin, he was just worried that something might happen.

There is no need to worry now, something unexpected happened, and it was worse than he expected.

Reconnecting with what Ren Tingting said before, I still don't understand what's going on. He should stop being a Taoist priest and change his career as soon as possible!

"Master Ren, something happened..."

When Mr. Ren heard that something happened, he kept paying attention here. When he heard that it was related to his father, he immediately became anxious: "Who did it?"

"This..." Lin Jiu looked at the young people next to him who were talking about calling the police, and explained bravely: "Maybe it's Mrs. Ren."

"Huh?" Mr. Ren was stunned. What does it have to do with his father? "What do you mean?"

Just when Lin Jiu was ready to explain, Mr. Ren, your father had taken the Feng Shui treasure land by force. The Feng Shui master had a grudge and secretly turned your father's body into a zombie.

That Feng Shui master had no conscience at all. Not only did he want to harm the Ren family for twenty years, but he also wanted to wipe out any descendants of the Ren family.

It’s just that ordinary people most likely don’t believe these words.

At this moment, David, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "Old Mrs. Ren's body has changed, right?"

Lin Jiu was stunned and looked at David in surprise: "How did Mr. David know?"

David raised his hand and pointed: "The person over there is jumping all the way. Isn't it Old Master Ren?"
