I had originally planned to activate it when I encountered a Train station with many people, but seeing so many people, just in case, I could only activate it now.
After Qi Xiao put on his revolver and entrenching tool, he opened the door and got out of the Train.
First, let's test the new function.
The Train activated dynamic concealment, blending in with its surroundings.
As the owner of the Train, Qi Xiao could see the translucent Train.
Even if others walked close, they could only see faint, flowing transparent lines.
Qi Xiao then tested the transformation ability, and with Qi Xiao's will, a toast-sized Train instantly appeared.
What a powerful modification, a must-have for the sly ones!
Deactivating dynamic concealment, the Train returned to its original state.
There's only one hour of free usage time per day, so it can't be wasted.
......
Just as Qi Xiao quietly approached the cemetery, a voice came:
“Why are you only just arriving! Hurry and follow me, quickly, quickly.”
A man about 1.6 meters tall, dressed in blue clothes, looking like a landlord, grabbed Qi Xiao's arm:
“Hurry, hurry, if we delay the auspicious time and mess things up, don't even think about getting paid!”
Just like that, Qi Xiao was pulled all the way into the crowd.
Qi Xiao was pushed into a group of men holding shovels. In front of him was the tomb of Ren Laotaiye, with an altar table placed in front of the grave mound.
A man in a yellow Taoist robe, wearing a Taoist hat, with a square face and a unibrow, stood there, looking at Master Ren's grave mound with a solemn expression.
Uncle Nine?
Qi Xiao was dumbfounded. He had imagined many scenarios and had many guesses, but what he hadn't expected was that this was actually the world of the movie Mr. Vampire.
Can the Train even take me into a fictional world?
Qi Xiao began to recall the Train stations he had stopped at before. In fact, it could be seen from Caijia Village, where would there be zombie chickens in the real world?
Just as Qi Xiao's mind was in a mess, he heard someone shout that the worship was over, and it was time to break ground!
He was then pushed and shoved along with several other laborers to dig up Master Ren's grave.
As Qi Xiao dug, he thought about how to get his hands on the treasure chest.
In less than ten minutes, the coffin was dug out and opened.
As soon as the coffin lid was opened, a puff of black smoke emerged.
Master Ren and his family immediately knelt down with a thud, crying out,
and so on.
Qi Xiao glanced inside, where was the treasure chest? Where was it?
He stretched his neck to look inside and caught sight of a corner of the treasure chest, pressed beneath Ren Laotaiye.
How could he open the treasure chest and take the contents under everyone's watchful eyes?
Qi Xiao looked around, the place was full of people.
Tsk, it's hard to make a move.
As someone who grew up watching Uncle Nine's movies, Qi Xiao was all too familiar with the plot of Mr. Vampire.
Qi Xiao quickly thought of a solution.
Seeing the black smoke coming from the coffin and the uncorrupted Ren Laotaiye, Master Ren, who was the old man who had just pulled Qi Xiao over, cautiously asked Uncle Nine:
“......Can this burial spot still be used?”
Uncle Nine had his hands behind his back and was about to speak when he heard a sigh from the group of laborers:
“Dragonfly Touching Water, it truly is a good burial spot!”
Everyone's gaze turned to Qi Xiao.
“It's just a pity that with Dragonfly Touching Water, once touched, it will never touch the same spot again,”
Qi Xiao clapped the dirt off his hands and shook his head regretfully:
“This burial spot is already ruined.”
Master Ren saw that it was a laborer who had been digging the grave, and immediately pointed at Qi Xiao angrily and said:
“What nonsense are you talking about? What do you, a laborer, know to spout such nonsense here!”
Master Ren then pointed at the foreman:
“Control the mouths of your subordinates, don't talk nonsense here!”
The foreman glanced at Qi Xiao, and said innocently:
“No, Master Ren, I don't even know him!”
“Isn't he a laborer you called? Wait a minute,”
Master Ren looked at Qi Xiao, who had a faint smile, and seemed to recall something:
“You, were you the one I just pulled over?”
Qi Xiao gave him a
expression.
Uncle Nine then spoke:
“This young friend is right, with Dragonfly Touching Water, once touched, it cannot be touched again. This burial spot truly cannot be used.”
After receiving Uncle Nine's confirmation, the disdain in everyone's eyes towards Qi Xiao lessened, replaced by some incredulity.
“Then, then what should we do?”
Uncle Nine paused for a few seconds and then said:
“I suggest cremation on the spot!”
“No, my father was most afraid of fire during his lifetime, I cannot do that.”
Master Ren quickly waved his hand, rejecting Uncle Nine's proposal.
Uncle Nine's expression was very serious:
“Master Ren, if you don't cremate him, there will be trouble.”
“No, anything but cremation! Think of another way.”
“There is another way,” Qi Xiao said, with his back to the crowd, staring at the distant hillside:
“Find a new burial site and rebury him.”
Everyone's attention was once again drawn to Qi Xiao.
Upon hearing this, Master Ren tentatively asked Uncle Nine:
“Is what he said true?”
Uncle Nine nodded helplessly.
Seeing Uncle Nine nod, Qi Xiao cleared his throat and seized the opportunity to say:
“Ahem, coincidentally, I also know a little about Feng Shui.”
Qi Xiao pretended to look around, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, and finally pointed his hand in the direction of his Train:
“There, to the north are continuous majestic mountains,
To the south are low hills responding to each other from near and far!
On both the left and right sides, protective mountains embrace and guard, layer upon layer,
The central area has a clear hall, spacious terrain, and is embraced by flowing water!
It is a rare and precious Feng Shui treasure land!”
Everyone listened in a daze, their gazes following the direction of Qi Xiao's finger.
Qi Xiao glanced at Uncle Nine out of the corner of his eye and swallowed hard.
He had just spouted everything he knew, which might fool ordinary people, but he was afraid Uncle Nine would notice something was off.
“......It is indeed good.”
Phew.
After getting Uncle Nine's approval, Qi Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
And so, the laborers carried Ren Laotaiye's coffin and followed Qi Xiao, walking all the way up the mountain.
On the way, Uncle Nine was expressionless.
Seeing that Uncle Nine didn't speak, Qi Xiao also didn't say much, pondering his next words in his heart.
Master Ren sidled up to Qi Xiao, his face fawning:
“May I ask your esteemed name, sir, and which school you are from?”
Qi Xiao's expression didn't change, and he casually made one up:
“Qi Ji, from McDonald's.”
A hint of doubt appeared on Master Ren's face, but it quickly returned to a smiling expression, and then he said:
“Master Qi, I was blind not to recognize you and mistook you for a laborer. Tonight, I will host a family banquet to apologize to Master Qi.”
Qi Xiao waved the entrenching tool in his hand:
“I'm holding a shovel, it's normal for Master Ren to make a mistake.”
“As for the family banquet, it's not necessary. I still have matters to attend to. I appreciate Master Ren's kind intention.”
Qi Xiao politely refused.
Just kidding, even if I wanted to eat, the Train doesn't wait for people.
“Alright. Master Qi doesn't seem very old, have you ever been married?”
“Married? No.”
Qi Xiao answered indifferently.
“Then what do you think of my young daughter, eighteen years old, just returned from studying abroad.”
Qi Xiao looked in the direction Master Ren pointed and saw Ren Tingting, dressed in a light blue dress with twin braids.
Ren Tingting, seeing Qi Xiao look at her, smiled and bowed.
