Chapter 664: Side Door Method
In fact, the plot of Mr. Zombie begins with Ren Tingting's return home.

In fact, the fundamental reason is that the Ren family’s business in the provincial capital has been almost divided up by others, and the Ren family has gradually lost its status in the provincial capital.

Ren Fa and Ren Tingting returned to Renjia Town in disgrace. If they could stay in the provincial capital, who would be willing to return to such a poor and remote place as Renjia Town!

But the world is too chaotic nowadays, and it is difficult to do business in the long run without the protection of guns.
So Ren Fa moved Old Master Ren's grave, hoping to change his fortune, and at the same time supported his nephew to be the security captain.

Lin Hao came to Yuezhou, and asked Afang to go to the church school to deliver a letter to Ren Tingting.

Then he took the others and went directly to several foreign companies, bought 1897 guns, hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition, and three M75 75mm field guns, which were the French Miss that Li Yunlong mistook for Italian guns.

Originally, the manager of the foreign company had no intention of refusing and was prepared to ask for a sky-high price, but they met Lin Hao.

So after some sincere discussions, the manager of the foreign company enthusiastically expressed his willingness to sell the goods at a half-price discount and that the goods could be picked up at the warehouse at any time.

Lin Hao had no choice but to accept his kindness, and then took his men and followed the manager to the warehouse to pick up the goods. When he saw that there was no one around, Lin Hao put the artillery and ammunition into the space equipment.

"With what I have now, it might be a bit difficult to fight zombies. As for ghosts and the like, I wonder if I can use my illusion skills to modify their memories and save them!"

"It seems that after returning to Renjia Town, it is time to become my disciple!" Thinking of this, Lin Hao bought some glutinous rice, cinnabar, talisman paper and other things.

Finally, Lin Hao bought some interesting things, such as gasoline, combustion stoves and so on.

After buying ammunition and other supplies from a foreign company, Lin Hao brought his men to Ren Tingting's home in the provincial capital.

When Lin Hao saw Ren Tingting, she was wearing a pink puffy skirt and a Western-style gauze hat on her head.

A pair of white jade-like hands smoothed the hair by the ears, and a jade-like face appeared in front of Lin Hao.

I have to say that Li, no, it's Ren Tingting, is indeed quite pretty, especially this little dress, which was very fashionable and stylish in the Republic of China era.

"Cousin, long time no see!" Lin Hao, wearing a Beiyang military uniform, stood tall in front of Ren Tingting and said politely.

Ren Tingting looked at the handsome man in front of her, who exuded a calm and mature temperament, which made Ren Tingting stunned.

"So handsome!" Ren Tingting was overwhelmed with affection for Lin Hao at first sight, and her heart was immediately moved.

"Miss, it's Master Lin Hao!" The maid next to her recognized Lin Hao at a glance, and then whispered in Ren Tingting's ear:

"Master Lin Hao is so handsome! I heard from Ah Fang that he is now the security captain of Renjia Town, and he is here to pick us up this time!"

The two maids immediately fell into a state of infatuation, wondering why they had never realized that Lin Hao was so handsome before.

"It's really my cousin!" Ren Tingting also recognized Lin Hao. At first, she just focused on looking at his handsome appearance and was attracted to him.

"Long time no see!" Lin Hao greeted with a smile.

"Cousin, come in and sit down!" Ren Tingting also reacted at this time, and said to the maid: "Xiaoling, go and pour tea for the cousin!"

"You're welcome, cousin!" Lin Hao said you're welcome, but his body was still very honest and his feet followed him into Ren Tingting's house.

"By the way, Tingting, did you receive the letter from your uncle?" Lin Hao asked after sitting down.

"Oh, I got it. I'll trouble you, cousin, this time!" Ren Tingting thought of the contents of her father's letter, subconsciously looked at Lin Hao again, and was secretly happy in her heart.

Lin Hao took the tea handed over by the maid, took a sip and said, "You're welcome, cousin. This is what I, your cousin, should do!"

Then the two chatted for a while. Lin Hao made Ren Tingting very happy with just a few tries.

"Ah~!" Ren Tingting suddenly exclaimed, and then said: "It's getting late, I have to leave quickly!"

However, Lin Hao calmly shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, cousin. My plan is to leave tomorrow morning. The roads are not safe right now. If we continue to travel in the dark, it will be even more dangerous!"

Then Lin Hao looked into Ren Tingting's eyes and said:

"Actually, I don't mind it myself, but now that my cousin is here, I have to consider your safety. It's better to act cautiously!"

If it were an ordinary world, whether in ancient times or modern times, Lin Hao would not be afraid of walking at night, but in this supernatural world, Lin Hao decided to act cautiously.

It’s not that Lin Hao is too timid, but he won’t take risks easily before he has the ability to deal with those weird things.

After all, Lin Hao is wearing a mask, and there are too many monsters and demons in this world, such as zombies, ghosts, and monsters. Lin Hao does have a way to avoid them. The worst thing he can do is to go back in time and start over.

But if you keep doing the same thing over and over again, it will become boring!
Hearing Lin Hao's considerate and heartwarming words, Ren Tingting said with some worry and shyness:

"Will that delay you?"

"So what if I'm delayed for my cousin? In my heart, Tingting, you are the most important!" Lin Hao said seriously.

Hearing Lin Hao's straightforward words, Ren Tingting was immediately overjoyed, and even more shy in her heart, so she quickly changed the subject and said:
"Well, let me show you your room first. As for your men, I will have them clean up!"

Ren Tingting took Lin Hao to see the room, leaving her subordinates looking at each other in surprise as they watched the golden boy and girl go upstairs.

After everything was settled, Ren Tingting took Lin Hao out for a stroll in the provincial capital. Finally, before dark, Lin Hao took Ren Tingting, who was as happy as a little bird, home.

This strange world is extremely dangerous at night.

···Nothing happened overnight···

The next day, Lin Hao brought his men and escorted some ammunition in a horse-drawn carriage, and then he and Ren Tingting took another carriage back to Renjia Town.

Along the way, Lin Hao and Ren Tingting had a very pleasant conversation, and Lin Hao made Ren Tingting laugh from time to time.

"Bang!" At this moment, a tree in front of the carriage suddenly fell across the middle of the road, and then fifty or sixty people rushed out.

Only a few of these people had guns, and most of the others had machetes. One of them, a scarred burly man holding a pistol, shouted:
"This mountain is mine, this tree is mine~!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

Before the scarred burly man could finish his words, when more than 20 members of Lin Hao's team found someone blocking their way, they immediately followed Lin Hao's usual requirements and looked for cover to attack directly.

When the gunshots were heard outside, Lin Hao hugged Ren Tingting into his arms and shouted:

"Tingting is in danger!"

As he spoke, Lin Hao lifted up the steel plate under the carriage seat as a cover, and then took Ren Tingting to hide behind it.

"Cousin~!" Ren Tingting called Lin Hao weakly.

"Tingting, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Lin Hao took the opportunity to close the distance between them and hugged her tighter.

The battle was actually very short. In just a few minutes, most of the robbers were killed, and the others fled in all directions.

Afterwards, Lin Hao asked his men to take away a few guns, and then Lin Hao prepared to hit the road directly, but he thought that this world was a little weird.

So he asked his men to dig a few pits and bury these people. This way, they could rest in peace, and there should be no problem.

"Dig the hole deeper!"

Not long after, the carriage set off again. On the following journey, they encountered several waves of interception. However, when they saw a team of twenty security guards carrying guns, they gave up the idea of ​​robbing.

The journey was relatively safe. A group of twenty security team members protected two carriages and rushed to Renjia Town.

Lin Hao and Ren Tingting sat in one, surrounded by two maids and four capable servants brought back from the province.

On the outskirts of Renjia Town, a pretty maid in white clothes said to the sedan chair:
"Miss, Renjia Town is ahead!" "Renjia Town seems to have changed a lot!" Looking at her hometown in front of her, Ren Tingting actually felt a little unfamiliar.

The Ren family used to have a prosperous business, and she had been studying in the provincial capital. She would only come back with Ren Fa once a year to worship their ancestors.

"Yes, I heard that there is a Western Street in the town, and merchants from all over the country stop here."

The maid was chattering with Ren Tingting, and it was obvious that the relationship between the master and servant was quite good. After all, from the plot we know that Ren Tingting should be someone who is easy to get along with.

"Stop, everyone be alert!" Lin Hao noticed someone in front of him and immediately said vigilantly to the security team.

Then they looked carefully and found that it was Ren Fa who came to greet them on a sedan chair with a group of servants. However, Lin Hao still did not let them let their guard down.

After a while, the carriage arrived in front of Ren Fa's sedan chair, and then Lin Hao and Ren Tingting got out of the carriage.

"Xiao Hao, thank you for your hard work!" Ren Fa's smile to Lin Hao was obviously more sincere.

"It's not hard, this is what I should do!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Dad!" Ren Tingting also got off the carriage, and when she saw Ren Fa, she immediately pounced on him and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back!" Ren Fa asked with concern: "Is there anything wrong on the way?"

"Dad, we met a robber on the road. It was my cousin..." Then Ren Tingting recounted what happened on the road.

Ren Fa expressed his gratitude to Lin Hao again, and after some pleasantries, he asked Lin Hao to come to his house in two days. Lin Hao immediately had an idea and thought that the plot should be about to begin.

Then Lin Hao brought his men and the ammunition back to the security team.

Ren Tingting watched Lin Hao leave with reluctance, and then followed Ren Fa home.

After Lin Hao returned to the security team, he rearranged the training and then led a team to patrol Renjia Town.

Only then did he buy new gifts, find Qiu Sheng as if he knew the place well, and express his desire to learn Taoism from Uncle Jiu.

Just like before, Qiu Sheng, when he saw Lin Hao bringing a lot of gifts, immediately recognized Lin Hao as his junior brother.

This time, Lin Hao rode a bicycle and followed Qiu Sheng to Uncle Jiu's charity cemetery.

After learning the purpose of Lin Hao's visit, Uncle Jiu, just like last time, looked at Lin Hao silently.

Of course, the last time was before Lin Hao used time travel, and now for Uncle Jiu, it is still the first time he met Lin Hao.

However, what was different from the last time was that because Lin Hao's achievements in governing Renjia Town had also reached Uncle Jiu's ears, his initial impression of Lin Hao was quite good.

He looks about the same age as Qiu Sheng, but he has a mature and steady temperament, and a pair of clear eyes with a sparkling brilliance. He is truly a handsome man!
He is much stronger than Wencai and Qiu Sheng, but Uncle Jiu is still worried as before that Lin Hao is a person with ulterior motives. It will be troublesome if such a person learns Taoism.

Therefore, he couldn't make up his mind whether he should accept Lin Hao as his disciple, and finally, just like last time, he refused Lin Hao's request to become his disciple.

"It's not that I don't want to teach you, but you're too old, and I don't know you well enough, so I'm done with the idea of ​​becoming your disciple!"

"Qiu Sheng, return the gift to the owner!" Uncle Jiu sat upright and shouted to Qiu Sheng who was standing beside him.

"Ah? Master, the gift has been opened and cannot be returned!" Qiu Sheng received the gift and had already secretly opened it with Wencai.

Inside were Renjia Town’s famous pastries, a roast chicken, and some top-quality cinnabar and talisman paper, all of which were useful to sorcerers.

"You two evil disciples are always causing trouble for me!" Uncle Jiu felt that he had lost all his face.

Now that the gifts have been opened and some of the food is even in the mouths of the two disciples, there is naturally no reason to return them.

Seeing this, Lin Hao quickly advised:

"Uncle Jiu, you don't have to do this. You are a Taoist master. These gifts are just a greeting gift from my juniors when they visit you!"

Then he said indifferently: "Besides, this little gift is really nothing!"

While Uncle Jiu remained silent, Lin Hao winked at Qiu Sheng.

Qiu Sheng was secretly calculating in his heart. Lin Hao had just told him that if he could successfully become Uncle Jiu's apprentice, he would give him a generous gift.

Thinking of this, Qiu Sheng put down the cake in his hand and said to Uncle Jiu:

"Master, why don't you want to accept Lin Hao as your apprentice?"

"He has a good reputation in the town. Since he took over the security team, he has done his best to deal with those old cases. He also personally led people to patrol the town to maintain law and order. He has done his best for the town. It would be a great loss if the master did not accept Lin Hao as his apprentice!"

"Yes, Master, when I have a little apprentice brother, I won't have to cook and I will have delicious food every day!" Wen Cai said, and took another bite of the chicken leg, saying that it would be a great loss for the master not to accept Lin Hao as his apprentice.

But Uncle Jiu looked at the two troublesome apprentices with displeasure. He was not the kind of person who was greedy for cheap things. After all, he felt a little guilty for refusing their offer to be his apprentice.

Although what Wencai said was unreliable, what Qiu Sheng said was not without reason. Judging from Lin Hao's past behavior, there should be no problem with his character.

Despite this, despite the persuasion of Wencai and Qiu Sheng, Uncle Jiu still refused to give in.

However, Uncle Jiu then pulled out a book from under the table beside him, threw it to Lin Hao and said:
"This is a book of unconventional Taoist techniques that I found when I was exorcising demons. It's called the Art of Cutting Paper into Soldiers. I heard that you are the captain of the town's security team, so maybe it can be of some help to you."

"But let me be frank with you. If you use this technique to do evil, I, Lin Jiu, will never let you off easily!"

Speaking of the latter part, Uncle Jiu even used some Taoist mantras, which had the power to intimidate the villains.

But Lin Hao was still as happy as ever and took the book respectfully. Even though his uncle only used it to pad the table, Lin Hao would not underestimate this Taoist secret method.

This is comparable to a weakened version of the bean-casting technique. It would be great if it were the bean-casting technique, but this paper-cutting technique can probably only be used to gather intelligence, but it's not bad either.

"In that case, thank you Uncle Jiu for teaching me this. I will definitely put it to good use!" Seeing Lin Hao's serious look, Uncle Jiu felt a little embarrassed.

After all, without the method of breathing, the effect of this paper-cutting technique was limited. He was just dealing with it perfunctorily. After all, to him, this paper-cutting technique was just an unorthodox technique.

To the highly skilled Maoshan Taoists, this method is useless. It is not as powerful as the Shangqing Divine Thunder, and not as convenient as the talismans.

Generally, only paper-folding craftsmen who are engaged in funerals will practice this secret method, and they will not use it easily. After all, without the blessing of magic power, they can only use their own lives.

Moreover, although paper cutting can be used as a military technique to make paper men and paper horses, their strength is ultimately limited and they are afraid of water and fire.

By the way, you can also take a look at Lin Hao's cultivation aptitude. If it is good, you can consider taking him as a disciple. If it is not good, then there is no fate of master and disciple.

"How about this, I will teach you a set of basic breathing methods. If you persist, you will gain something!" Uncle Jiu's bottom line was gradually collapsing.

Under the guidance of Uncle Jiu, a mysterious formula was passed into Lin Hao's ears. After confirming that Lin Hao had memorized it, he began to explain to Lin Hao the knowledge of acupoints, meridians, etc.

And Lin Hao remembered all of this after just listening once, which surprised Uncle Jiu. He felt that Lin Hao was really smart, so he prepared to demonstrate it to Lin Hao himself.

Seeing Uncle Jiu start to practice his skills, Lin Hao quickly used the solidification skill.

"System, solidify the extraordinary abilities used by Uncle Nine!" It would be a waste if we don't use a ready-made master.

Ding: "Skills are solidifying!"

"Congratulations on obtaining the universal skill: Basic Breathing Technique!"
