Ren Fa cried and kowtowed, "I am unfilial for disturbing you, sir!"
The people around were puzzled by the black aura surrounding Old Master Ren, but Xiao Ning and Lin Fengjiao knew very well that Old Master Ren had turned into a zombie.
Ren Fa, unaware of the seriousness of the problem, stood up and asked, "Lin Jiu, are the tombs here still usable?"
Lin Fengjiao shook her head: "It's like a dragonfly skimming the water, touching it once and then again. It definitely won't touch the same spot twice. This tomb is no longer useful."
"Then what should we do?" Ren Fa asked.
Lin Fengjiao had already found an auspicious burial site, but seeing Old Master Ren's appearance, she knew that if things weren't dealt with quickly, trouble would definitely arise. So she said, "I suggest we cremate him on the spot."
Ren Fa quickly shook his head: "No, my father was most afraid of fire when he was alive. I can't cremate him no matter what. Otherwise, how can I face his spirit in heaven?"
Ren Fa, as a filial son, could not accept his uncle's suggestion to cremate him, no matter what.
Even if we disregard him, many people in modern society would find it unacceptable.
Unable to reach an agreement, both men turned to Xiao Ning, who had been observing from the sidelines, hoping he could come up with a solution.
Xiao Ning strolled over, walked to the coffin, and glanced at the now-corrupted and overweight Old Master Ren.
The old man, who should have been as withered as a rake, was now full of elasticity. His fingernails were at least several centimeters long and shone with a deep blue-green light. A black aura surrounded him, and he looked as if he might jump up at any moment.
Xiao Ning didn't care and said, "For various reasons, the old master has turned into a zombie. When he wakes up, the first people he will try to kill are Uncle and you two direct descendants, Tingting. So, Lin Jiu's suggestion still makes some sense!"
"Zombies?"
Ren Fa was shocked and hurriedly asked, "How is this possible? How could my late father have turned into a zombie? My Ren family has never done anything wrong!"
Xiao Ning glanced at Lin Fengjiao, signaling him to show off.
Lin Fengjiao immediately understood. She knew that her senior was testing her, and she couldn't help but feel excited and eager to do her best.
He took a deep breath and said, "The reason why the old man turned into a zombie was because he had an extra breath."
"What does it mean that there's an extra breath?"
Ren Fa didn't care about their teaching test, but asked in surprise.
"If a person doesn't swallow their anger, resentment, or pent-up emotions before they die, those emotions will condense in their throat and won't escape after death. This will cause an extra breath inside the corpse, leading to corpse transformation."
Lin Fengjiao gave a slight bow and explained to Ren Fa.
Then, he looked at Xiao Ning with expectant eyes, like a primary school student who had done a good deed and was waiting for the teacher's praise.
"What? Resentment? That's impossible. My father passed away peacefully, without any pain whatsoever! Lin Jiu, don't talk nonsense!" Ren Fa exclaimed upon hearing Lin Fengjiao's words.
If this gets out, it will be said that Ren Fa abused his elders, making their death unbearable and causing Old Master Ren to become a zombie. The reputation that the Ren family has built up over a century will be completely ruined.
Ren Fa naturally tried his best to refute it.
"It has nothing to do with Uncle Shi, and it has nothing to do with the old master!"
Xiao Ning shook his head and said, "What Lin Jiu said just now is correct, but not entirely correct. The problem lies with that feng shui master from back then. All of this was his wicked scheme!"
"Feng Shui master?"
Lin Fengjiao and Ren Fa both voiced the same question.
“That’s right. Think about it carefully. Back then, the old master took away his auspicious land. How could this man let it go so easily?”
Xiao Ning said calmly, "He simply decided to go all the way! He pretended to give the precious burial site to the old master, but secretly tampered with it, turning it into a deadly place. He also planned the timing, so that his uncle would exhume the coffin and move the grave twenty years later, plotting to murder the entire Ren family!"
"Given the nature of zombies, the lingering obsessions in their minds will become the fuse that destroys the entire Ren family!"
"At that time, the zombie will be released and slaughter the entire Ren family. Then he will jump out and subdue the zombie that the old master has turned into. Not only will he gain fame, but he will also obtain the wealth accumulated by the Ren family. He will not only gain a powerful zombie, but he will also avenge the theft of the treasure. It can be said that he has achieved four goals at once!"
"To alter the flow of the earth's energy throughout the entire mountain range, transforming it from a mere dragonfly's touch into the Nine Yin Corpse Refining Array, gathering the Yin energy from the earth to refine corpses—what a grand scheme, what audacity!"
With the inheritance of the "Secret Daoist Canon of the Maoshan School of the Shangqing Sect" and the unique spiritual sense of the Golden Core Realm, Xiao Ning saw many details that had never appeared in the movie.
With a little deduction, he figured out the whole story.
The mastermind behind it all was that feng shui master from back then.
It must be said that this person was quite cunning and resourceful. In the movie, if the protagonist, Lin Fengjiao, hadn't been there, his evil scheme would probably have succeeded.
At that time, not only will he gain fame and fortune, avenge the Ren family's theft of his treasure, but he will also acquire a powerful zombie and establish a formidable reputation.
This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Upon hearing Xiao Ning's analysis, it was as if a lightning bolt had struck Lin Fengjiao's mind, cleaving through layers of fog and instantly making everything clear.
After the feng shui master was robbed of his auspicious burial site, he even helped the Ren family arrange their graves. Was he really that kind-hearted? Was he repaying evil with kindness?
Also, why would a perfectly auspicious place breed zombies?
You have to understand, zombies don't just appear out of nowhere; otherwise, the world would be overrun with them long ago.
All the doubts that had been lingering in his mind before could now be explained by Xiao Ning's explanation.
"Hiss... To kill someone is to destroy their spirit, to truly destroy their spirit, what a wicked villain!"
"Senior's discerning eye instantly detected that evil Taoist's conspiracy!"
After figuring out the key point, Lin Fengjiao couldn't help but admire Xiao Ning immensely.
"What...killed my whole family? Wow...what a cruel heart..."
