    CHAPTER 1 - MIDNIGHT DISGRACE

    Recently, the development of the village has been going extremely fast. Our village has been sending people to dig up the graves, the purpose of which is to collect the bones, take them away to ashes, and move this piece of land out to build a house.

    Because of this incident, the village became restless, and curses could be heard all day long. The villagers felt that the developer's money was too little.

    An 18-year-old girl in the village was working outside. For some reason, she had committed suicide. When her family members had just returned, there were people who had come to urge them to send her to cremation.

    The feudal superstition of our village is deeply rooted. According to tradition, suicide is considered a violent death, and the deceased already had an impact on the luck of the family. And turning to ashes, that is called dying without an intact corpse, isn't that adding oil to the fire?

    Therefore, the matter of burying in secret at night was born. During the dark hours, when the relevant authorities had finished their work, they would secretly bury the corpse in a place that was not easy to find, so that they could have peace …

    The burial took place from midnight to one o'clock in the morning. This was the rule set by Mr. Yin Yang who presided over the ceremony. During this period of time, the Yin Qi was the most vigorous and suitable for the deceased.

    This dead girl is called Lin Xue'er, she was the same age as me, we grew up together, and now she is only 18 years old. I thought it was a pity that the girl was beautiful, and I always thought of her as a sweet smile, with two little dimples, and I had been interested in her since the early days.

    However, right now … He could only say that it was a pity.

    The day the body was brought back, my parents and I went to the funeral home to watch it die. Lin Xue'er had been brought back in the ambulance, and she was lying peacefully on a stretcher without covering the body with a white cloth. Although she was dead, her skin was snow-white, her face petite, and her two dimples were still as pretty as before, causing others to feel even more pity when they looked at her.

    What I didn't understand was that she was wearing a bright red windbreaker. It was June, and it was hard to understand why she would wear it so thick before she died.

    The heart-wrenching sobs of her family quickly moved everyone present, including me.

    The person who urged the cremation had just left, and the deadline was tomorrow, so everyone was very anxious. They carried Lin Xue'er into the living room, and a few of the Yin and Yang mages began to beat the drums. Some of them had already taken their hoes with them and went up the mountain to dig a well, while I, an eighteen year old boy, couldn't stay idle either.

    Just as he was about to go find something to do, someone behind him shouted, Liu Hai! Liu Hai is my name, and the person who called me was my father.

    My father pulled me into an empty corner, and he whispered to me to go home. This Lin Xue'er died before she got married.

    Yin marriage was not a rare occurrence in the countryside, but it usually referred to the early death of an unmarried man. For fear that he would be lonely, the relatives would find a similar corpse and bury it with the deceased. The other method was for the dead person to find their target. It was said that the dead person would pester whoever they set their eyes on the first seven days.

    Because of the former, in this era where people had evil intentions, stealing and selling corpses, and even killing living people as corpses to sell, all sorts of wicked things happened. The latter led to many people not attending the funeral after seeing the dead in red.

    I laughed at that time. These were all fabricated by others. Where in the world would there be ghosts? After he died, there was nothing left. For me, who was still in my third year of high school, this was something that I would never believe.

    Father said he couldn't beat me, so he had to remind me not to go to Lin Xue'er's corpse. Not even when I was carrying the coffin, it wouldn't be fun to imprint a shadow on her body.

    I nodded and said yes, but I didn't think so.

    At night, most of the people had already left the place. Coincidentally, when these few Yinyang gentlemen read the words' birthdate 'on a piece of paper that could not be seen, there were only five or six people left. Including the host, there were a total of eight people that were just enough to carry the coffin.

    As for me, the word 'birthday' has already been read out, meaning I can't go up the mountain to watch the funeral.

    Coincidentally, the people who had been arranged to carry the coffins were all old bachelors of the village. I saw a smile of satisfaction on their faces. Something was wrong.

    I don't believe that it was such a coincidence, because among those who carried the coffin, there was someone who was born with the same name as me.

    Lin Xue'er was my playmate when I was young, and also my secret crush. Now that she's dead, I want to personally see her bury her.

    At eleven o'clock in the evening, having been brought home by my parents, I got up from my bed, dressed, and went up the hill to find a secluded corner of the graveyard, where I waited for the coffin bearer to arrive.

    To be honest, this wilderness, coupled with the fact that there is a well in front of me that is about to be buried, can be considered a terrifying atmosphere. However, I was born bold, have received a high education, and do not believe in ghosts and gods.

    After waiting for over an hour, the people carrying the coffin finally arrived. They were all smiling mischievously, while Mr. Yinyang also hung his hat on his back, looking carefree. The whole scene was more like a happy occasion than a dead man.

    This group of people were all invited from outside. Our village also has one, but he is already an old man in his eighties. No one from the new generation wants to inherit his mantle, so we are here to invite you to join us.

    The next scene left me tongue-tied. The few of them whispered as they put down the coffin. They didn't expect to take Lin Xue'er's body out afterwards. They actually took off Lin Xue'er's clothes!

    I frowned as I watched Lin Xue'er's snow-white body gradually become naked. I felt extremely nervous as this was the first time I saw a woman's body.

    Just when my eyes are a little stiff, they actually started to play with Lin Xue'er's body without restraint. Someone even took off their pants and rubbed Lin Xue'er's private parts!

    Sly corpse!

    This is an insult to the dead. I finally understand why it's such a coincidence. Those who carry the coffin are all old bachelors!

    Seeing that each of them was about to succeed, the anger in my heart soared to the skies. Lin Xue'er is my good friend, how can I just watch as they do this!

    I picked a rock on the ground and was about to rush out to stop it when someone behind me suddenly covered my mouth and then knocked me out.

    He did not know when he woke up, but it was dark all around him. He subconsciously got up and rubbed his eyes as he looked around. In the end, he took out his cell phone and looked around. He realized that this was the well where Lin Xue'er was!

    Lin Xue'er was naked. He was lying at my feet, while I was also completely undressed. At the same time, I suddenly felt that something was wrong!

    Before I could react, the surroundings lit up with light. A group of people surrounded me. They were a few coffin bearers. One of them even had a cell phone in his hand as he recorded videos and photographed them.

    They threatened me with it. If I dared to tell them, they would show the video to my parents!

    I didn't dare to say anything. I hated them so much that my teeth itched to kill them all, but I was just a young man who had just grown up. If they really started fighting, I would probably be buried with Lin Xue'er. I kept thinking, who was the one that knocked me out?

    They buried Lin Xue'er. I saw with my own eyes a trace of hatred on Lin Xue'er's face. I didn't know if it was because my eyes were blurry, but before I could see clearly, the coffin had already closed.

    They buried me, threatened me with another warning, and even beat me. I am a hot-blooded youth, how can I not retaliate? However, what I got instead was a flurry of punches and kicks. They were all in their twenties or thirties, so I was powerless to resist.

    Because I fought back, my whole body was burning in pain. I lied in front of Lin Xue'er's grave to rest, but I couldn't get my breath back. I actually fainted. The beasts had long since left in a carefree manner.

    In my daze, I actually had a dream. In my dream, Lin Xue'er and I were playing by the river. She rubbed her clothes and kept smiling at me, revealing two sweet dimples. I was fishing in the river when I felt something grab my ankle and I was pulled into the water, choking to death.

    At this time, Lin Xue'er's smile appeared on the surface of the raging water. In the water, she was actually able to speak. Smiling, she said to me, Husband, don't be afraid. I will avenge you.

    The night wind was cold, and the dream was strange. Very soon, I woke up, and found myself sweating profusely. I was still lying in front of Lin Xue'er's grave.

    Thinking of that dream, Lin Xue'er's voice seemed to echo in her ears. It felt too real. My scalp immediately went numb. I braced myself and bowed to Lin Xue'er a few times. After expressing my friend's pity for her, I used my cell phone to light up the scene and ran home.

    When I got home, my mind was still in turmoil. Thinking of Lin Xue'er's resentful expression, being punched and kicked by a few beasts, and even threatening me, I wanted to kill myself. I wanted revenge, not just for myself, but for Lin Xue'er as well!

    However, what happened in the next few days not only gave me goosebumps, but even frightened the villagers. The beasts that went to carry the coffins were all killed!

    CHAPTER 2 - A VILLAGE WITHOUT A FAMILY

    From the night I returned home, I began to have some strange dreams. Sometimes I dreamed that I was playing with Lin Xue'er, and sometimes I even dreamed that she was in my bed … Sleep with me and do something shameful...

    However, every time they parted ways, it was only when she woke up from her dream that her face would turn malevolent and terrifying. She told me that she was unwilling to die, that she wanted revenge, and that she wanted to kill the beasts that had humiliated her!

    What made my hair stand on end was that every time I was awakened by a nightmare, I would notice a blurry shadow pass by my window!

    I tried to comfort myself by thinking it was an illusion.

    However, what Xue'er said had happened one by one!

    On the first day, someone from our village died. This person was one of the people that participated in the humiliation of Lin Xue'er's corpse. The appearance of his death would probably remain in my mind for the rest of my life.

    Before he died, he placed a circle of red candles in his mourning hall and hanged himself by his ancestral memorial tablet with a piece of red cloth twisted into a rope. When the medical examiner came to inspect the situation, he discovered that the thing in his crotch was swollen beyond compare. In the end, he determined that it was bitten by a snake!

    Even if he was bitten by a snake and wanted to get rid of the pain, it wouldn't be enough to hang him, right? What was the explanation of the red candle?

    It wasn't just the villagers who thought this was weird, I also felt that it was extremely weird. I told my parents about this dream, and they all said that this dead person definitely had a grudge with Lin Xue'er, that she had turned into a poisonous snake to take revenge.

    I instantly felt my hair stand on end. Lin Xue'er couldn't have really turned into a ghost, could she?

    What happened in the next few days made me even more restless. These few days, I was woken up by nightmares, and it was always Lin Xue'er. She always told me a countdown in my dreams, from 7 to 2!

    On the sixth day after the incident, the six beasts in the village died in succession. The way they died was exactly the same as the first!

    Someone found this biting snake, it was a blood-red snake with a triangular head. It hid on the bed of the dead, and when it was discovered, it slipped under the bed and disappeared. The bed was turned upside down, and there was not even a wormhole on the ground!

    Not only me, even the entire village spent their days in fear. Because of the tragic deaths of the six people, our village fell into a strange situation. No one dared to go out at night.

    From my nightmare to the night of the sixth day, the time had finally shortened. After Lin Xue'er appeared, she only said one sentence, I'll come to find you tomorrow!

    I couldn't keep this up anymore, no matter how much I tried to comfort myself with the fact that these were coincidences, but in the end I felt that it was very forced. After a while, I decided to tell my parents about the nightmare.

    When my parents found out about it, they immediately became anxious. My mother turned the knife around in my room, cursing at me for not being able to understand what I was saying.

    Father took a bottle of Erguotou to the old Taoist's house in the village and said he wanted to invite him to have a look, because he was afraid that the next person would be me.

    The Daoist priest in the village was an old man in his eighties. He had moved to our village a few years ago and his background was unknown. Even now, no one knew his name. Some people said he came down from Dragon Tiger Mountain.

    My mother was so relieved when she couldn't find the red snake.

    At this moment, my father arrived with an old man with a bun and a stubble on his beard.

    The Daoist priest stroked his white goatee, and when he walked to my doorstep, his expression changed. I will never forget that expression.

    Ignoring my mother's greeting, he suddenly snatched the knife from her hand, rushed into my room, and slashed at the left-hand frame of the window and the door. Pointing to the dark window, he said, You must know that good and evil are rewarded, and you must not kill innocent people!

    Our family of three was stunned on the spot, while a cold air suddenly emitted from my back. Daoist Priest Gui's action was obviously to speak to someone else!

    He pointed outside the window as if he had seen something terrifying. He put down his knife in fear, turned around, and ran out of the room, closing the door firmly behind him.

    Then he bit his finger and frantically drew a strange pattern on the door of my room. It looked like a gossip.

    When he was finished, he turned around and walked towards me. His expression turned fierce again, and he grabbed me by the collar and said aggressively, Tell me about your dream and the Lin girl. If you don't want to die, then don't lie!

    It wasn't just me who was scared senseless by the Daoist priest. Even my parents' expressions changed drastically as they all cast their gazes at me.

    Since the six beasts were already dead, even if I didn't believe that Lin Xue'er was the culprit, there was no need for me to hide anything.

    When he heard this, his face instantly turned serious. After gritting his teeth and cursing Beast, he hurriedly turned around and told my father to bring the hoe with him to Lin Xue'er's house.

    Of course I was curious about what he was doing, following him the whole way.

    When they arrived at Lin Xue'er's home, the Daoist priest did not hesitate. He told Lin Xue'er's parents that the strange incident in the village happened right on top of their daughter's grave, so they had to immediately open the restaurant.

    In the countryside, digging graves was detrimental to morals, so Lin Xue'er's parents were still hesitant even though they believed in Taoist Priest Gui. In the end, the Daoist said, Otherwise, the two of you will be the next to die.

    With these words, they immediately agreed and led the hoes towards Lin Xue'er's grave in the mountains.

    It was noon, and it rarely rained over here in June. But today, the sky was overcast, as if it were going to rain at any moment. The mountain winds were especially strong.

    We arrived in front of Lin Xue'er's grave. Without saying a word, the Daoist priest picked up a few stones from the ground and placed them in the east, south, west and north of the grave.

    I was extremely nervous. After the black coffin was unearthed, I actually felt a little guilty. I hid far away, afraid that I would not be able to sleep in the future due to the scene that unfolded before me.

    Very quickly, under the orders of the Daoist Priestess, the coffin was opened. We originally thought that Lin Xue'er's resentful expression would be reflected in our eyes, but the next scene made everyone present cry out in alarm!

    The coffin was empty, and Lin Xue'er's body had disappeared without a trace!

    How could this be? He had personally seen Lin Xue'er being buried that night, and from the signs just now, he could tell that no one had touched the grave!

    Thinking about that red snake, my heart immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Could it be that Lin Xue'er had turned into a snake and ran out of the coffin?

    When the Daoist Priest saw this situation, his face immediately tensed up, and as if he had seen a ghost, he quickly told his father to close the coffin and then fill it in.

    Everyone's expression was solemn, no one dared to speak. For a moment, other than the sound of the mountain wind blowing by, the surroundings fell silent.

    I stood there, stunned, unable to believe my eyes.

    After filling in the soil, the Daoist Priest said with a solemn expression, This matter is not easy to handle. Everyone should go back and inform each other. Everyone must move out before midnight tonight. We can't stay in this village anymore!

    After saying that, the Daoist Priest hastily ran down the mountain like he was escaping for his life. My parents and Lin Xue'er's parents looked at each other in dismay, discussing what to do.

    Finally, my parents brought me home. They had lived in this village for most of their lives, and even the landowners had not taken it. How could they leave just because of a single word?

    My father worked outside and said he knew a real Yin-Yang man. He was afraid that Daoist Priest Gui was a swindler, so he had to find someone to confirm his suspicions.

    Around 6 PM in the evening, when the sky gradually darkened, that Mister Yin Yang came. He was dressed in a Taoist robe and carried a peach wood sword on his back.

    Never would I have thought that he, like the Taoist priest, would go dig a grave after seeing my room!

    This time, my parents did not hesitate. It was possible that they were annoyed by the fact that the corpses were nowhere to be seen. They immediately grabbed their hoes and called Lin Xue'er's parents over to Lin Xue'er's grave.

    In the midst of everyone's panic, the coffin was opened once again. This time, my father and Lin Xue'er's father were frightened and retreated a few steps. They cried out in unison, My mother!

    I hastily looked into the coffin. My god, Lin Xue'er's corpse was actually there. With both hands on my stomach, I peacefully laid down inside the coffin. Due to time having passed, my face and skin had become deathly pale and my lips were jet-black.

    How, how is this possible? I couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over my body!

    When Mister Yin Yang saw this, his expression immediately changed just like Daoist Gui's. He then hastily called for the coffin to be closed before filling it in.

    After doing all of this, the few of us scrambled home. This Mister Yin Yang did not say anything else, picked up his stuff and was about to leave.

    My father stopped him in panic and asked him what was going on.

    Mr. Yin Yang's breathing was rapid. Just as he was about to say something, he saw that my father suddenly shivered and turned his head towards me. Following that, his legs trembled as he fearfully looked at my shoulder and actually kneeled down!

    Don't blame me, I'll leave immediately! After saying this, he got up and ran out of the village.

    CHAPTER 3 - TAOIST TAOIST ZHUANG JIE

    I felt a wave of cold air rise from the bottom of my feet to the top of my head. I subconsciously turned my head to the left and right, but there was no one there!

    My parents watched in panic as this Mr. Yin-Yang's back disappeared. My father pulled me along and told me to pack up and move to the town for the night.

    This kind of thing completely upended my view of the world. I could no longer believe that there was no such thing as ghosts or monsters in the world.

    While we were busy, my father, an honest man with a more honest heart than my mother, had already started to call the village to tell them to move out.

    However, in the end, no one believed it. Even Lin Xue'er's parents refused to leave. They held onto the hope that they were lucky enough to survive.

    Around eight in the night, our family of three carried big and small bags as they headed towards Pan Shui Town, which was about twenty kilometers away from here, with torches in hand.

    Pan Shui Town is a small town. My aunt married there, so she decided to stay there for the night.

    We didn't dare to stop. Even though we were walking with our legs sore, we couldn't rest for even a moment. We had to travel for two hours before we finally arrived at Aunt's house.

    Aunt has a pair of twin sisters, one I call cousin, one is a cousin, in fact, the age is not much different.

    Because I'm a mountain village bumpkin, they looked down on me since I was young. This time when I entered the house, they immediately treated me coldly.

    Cousin and cousin had all grown up in the town and went to school early, so now they were university students. After all, she had been living in a big city for a long time, so she was out of place with the girls in this town.

    But I don't like their haughty natures. After entering the room to greet them for not agreeing, I mocked myself in my heart. I put down my stuff to greet my aunt and the others, and then went out alone.

    The things that had happened these past few days were too strange. He had never heard of it in his life and had never encountered anything as bizarre as this. His heart was in disarray, and after being beaten up by his cousin and the others, his mood plummeted.

    I had followed our village from town for half an hour, and I still didn't want to turn back because I was afraid of being mocked.

    I have a lot of face.

    After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at a small bridge. There was a street light here and the bridge was brightly lit. At that moment a man approached me from the opposite direction.

    At first, I didn't pay much attention to him, but I inadvertently glanced at him. Holy shit, he's a handsome guy.

    The man looked to be in his twenties. Under the illumination from the street lamps, he looked to be in his prime. With his thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was extremely handsome. He had never seen such a handsome man since he was young.

    He said that he was angry because of his clothes. Why was he wearing a robe and a Daoist hat?

    Just as he was thinking this, this person had already walked up to me. He looked at me with a smile, then his expression froze as he asked: Little brother, may I ask how I can get to Lin Jia Kan?

    Lin Family, isn't that our village?

    I was a little surprised. I am a member of the Lin Family. Why are you going there?

    He said that he was a Daoist from Dragon Tiger Mountain, and asked if I know about the Imperial Codex. I heard that something strange happened in our village, and it was entrusted to him by your lordship.

    I looked him up and down in disbelief, thinking that he was being too unreasonable. Even the 80 year old Daoist was scared off. He was just in his twenties. How could he be stronger than me?

    When he saw my unbelieving eyes, he didn't get angry. He smiled and asked me, Little brother, you don't look well. Have you been having nightmares recently? Dreaming of a girl calling you Hubby?

    F * ck, even if he guessed, wasn't that a bit too accurate? I feel that this Taoist has some skill, he couldn't even tell what dream I was having. Just by looking at my appearance, he can tell that I am not simple at all.

    I was stunned and asked tentatively, You … Are you sure? Plus, with the presence of Taoist Gui, two of the Taoists ran away in fright.

    Although this person had a kind face, he didn't seem to like bullsh * t. He didn't say anything more and just asked me where I would go.

    I don't care if he can solve it or not, he's the one who asked for his own death, so just tell him to follow along this path.

    He cupped his hands in thanks, then walked forward with his hands behind his back. After a few steps, he suddenly turned his head to look at my left shoulder and coldly said, Good and evil will be rewarded. You'd better be honest with me! Then he turned around and walked on.

    I paused for a moment, and suddenly felt that the left side of my neck and my shoulders had gone completely numb. I looked at them in horror, and I could no longer control my emotions.

    Hey, Big Brother, wait a moment. I started to catch up with the Taoist, who turned his head and looked at me in confusion. I chuckled. Hur hur, it's difficult to find roads in the mountains. I'll send you off.

    Ignoring me, he turned and walked on.

    As I followed behind him, I thought to myself, Tonight, I must get to the bottom of this. How could Lin Xue'er's corpse disappear in such a bizarre manner before returning to the coffin? Also, why would they look at my shoulder and speak?

    Although this Taoist was polite, he didn't talk much. I asked him whether there was something on my shoulder.

    He just said, You will understand when the time comes.

    When I realized that he was purposely changing the topic, I didn't like to get to the bottom of things. Besides, this bro wasn't someone who liked to press his hot face against a cold butt, so I didn't ask any more questions.

    I took out my cell phone and called my father. I said I would stay with my classmates for the night and return to my aunt's house tomorrow. There weren't many rooms in my aunt's house, so it was hard for all three of us to go. So my father didn't ask and just told me not to run around.

    Walking in the mountains at night is always uncomfortable, and this person doesn't like to pay attention to me. I asked him what his name was and what was going on with Dragon Tiger Mountain.

    He avoided the topic of Dragon Tiger Mountain. Perhaps he didn't want to waste words with me, but he still told me that his name was Zhuang Jie and that his name was Brother Zhuang.

    He was handsome, had a pleasant voice, and had a good name. This is my first impression of the Taoist in front of me.

    I brought Zhuang Jie to my house. When the door opened, he frowned and looked at the door of my room and asked if I could come in.

    Without saying a word, I pushed the door open with my foot. To be honest, when I thought about the 'illusion' that appeared after waking up a few days ago, I felt a lingering fear as I looked at my room.

    Zhuang Jie walked into my room with his hands behind his back. After he turned on the light, he started rummaging in my room as if he were looking for something …

    He's not in the habit of sneaking around, is he? F * * k, is there an open, open, and secret way?

    I don't think it matters. There's nothing for him to take anyway.

    After a while, Zhuang Jie took out a short wooden sword from his sleeve and flipped over my pillow.

    I looked at him in surprise. A moment later, he was digging out a handful of dark hair from the pillow.

    It was a woman's hair!

    So someone wanted to kill you. Thank goodness she protected you for a few days. Otherwise, your little brother would have been killed by now.

    My breathing immediately quickened as I pointed at my hair. This, how could this be? What does hair mean?

    This is the hair of a dead man. Someone used it to lure you into harm's way.

    Then who did you say was protecting me? I was confused. I felt completely lost.

    She should be your friend, but she's not simple either.

    I was about to ask more when he waved me off and took him to the woman's grave.

    Why are you going so late? My scalp is still numb at the thought of the weird events that happened during the day!

    Zhuang Jie could tell that I was scared. He just said that if I don't finish this by 12 o'clock, no one in the village can survive until dawn!

    These words immediately shocked me. I suddenly recalled that your lordship had also said the same thing and immediately told him to leave.

    Who knows this Zhuang Jie also told me to take two hoes, said later may dig grave use. But it scared me so much that when it was day before, there were so many people, and now, it was only the two of us in the middle of the night, so how could I not feel guilty?

    Reluctantly, we took the hoe with us and walked up the mountain one after another.

    At this moment, the village was deathly silent. All the families had turned off their lights and slept, probably still in the shadows from a few days ago. They didn't dare turn on their lights at night, afraid of attracting ghosts.

    CHAPTER 4 - DEAD HAIR

    Trembling, I led Zhuang Jie to Lin Xue'er's grave. With my flashlight shining on the newly renovated soil, I pointed to the grave and said to Zhuang Jie, This is the place.

    He nodded and looked around with the flashlight. He looked at the stones thrown by the Daoist Priest and kicked them away.

    Dig! he said suddenly, after kicking the stone.

    What?! He's still digging! Damn it, even if I have the guts, Lin Xue'er wouldn't be able to calm down, right? I've already dug it up so many times.

    I reluctantly told Zhuang Jie what I was thinking.

    Who knew that he would pull up his sleeves and start digging. Don't be afraid, she's right by your side.

    I say, big brother, can you speak more clearly? I was anxious. I felt goosebumps all over my body.

    Zhuang Jie ignored me and continued digging his own grave.

    I was stunned for a few minutes, so I decided to help dig. Who cares?

    It feels like we're tomb robbers, and if we're found out, we might get sent to the police station to go to jail.

    In fact, Zhuang Jie's physical work was quite impressive. After digging for a long time, his face was still red and he did not breathe. I was so tired that I nearly fell to the ground.

    After half an hour of our efforts, the lid of the coffin was revealed, and Zhuang Jie immediately told me to stop and walk away.

    Breathing heavily, I stepped back and stared intently at the coffin.

    To my surprise, this Zhuang Jie really had great strength. During the day, when the restaurant was opened by two men shouting and moving the coffin lid away, he lifted it with one hand!

    God Power!

    He shone the flashlight into the coffin and frowned. Curious, I walked over and peeked into the coffin. Who knew that this glance would scare me so much that I sat down on the ground.

    There was no Lin Xue'er in the coffin, nor was it empty. Lying inside was a man. This man was the same Mr. Yin Yang that his father had invited!

    His death was no worse than the beasts' death. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and in his hand was a peach wood sword!

    Killed by a ghost?

    Crap! Zhuang Jie suddenly closed the coffin as if he had seen a ghost. He took out a yellow talisman and stuck it on the coffin. Then, he casually filled in a bit of dirt. Quick, take me to see it.

    I was so scared that I couldn't speak. I felt weak all over and couldn't find the strength to tell him. I could only stare at the ground in a daze.

    Zhuang Jie wasn't too busy either. He walked over and pressed his hand on my forehead and neck a few times. I suddenly shivered and felt my strength return to me in an instant.

    He didn't give me a chance to speak and urged me to take him.

    The people who died a few days ago were so bizarre that they didn't dare to push them to turn into ashes. They buried them on the other side of the mountain, where the old cemetery was.

    After a while, the old cemetery was in a mess. The coffin was in a mess and there were human bones everywhere. I didn't dare to go.

    When Zhuang Jie said he would suffer if he didn't go, he told me to run.

    Like wolves in pursuit of a mountain, we ran towards the old cemetery with torches in our hands, and in a few minutes we were there.

    What the hell, isn't this a little too much torture? Not only were the coffins in the cemetery in disarray, but there were also some parts of the corpse's body that emitted a strange smell. It scared me so much that my legs couldn't stop shaking.

    The six people who died were buried at the foot of the mountain, avoiding the foundations of the developers' houses and forming a line. When the two of us arrived at the new row of graves, we were immediately stunned.

    On top of all the graves stood a little paper doll!

    This kind of doll was made of white paper, the wrists were high and low, the cheeks were painted red, and the face was painted with a smile.

    Zhuang Jie took out his wooden dagger and began to pace around the graves. Every time he passed a grave, he would use the dagger to touch the doll's face.

    What happened next, I will never forget for the rest of my life!

    These paper dolls were actually alive! Their heads could actually move, following Zhuang Jie's body as they moved. Their small, lifelike eyeballs looked both terrifying and strange! Aoo!

    I subconsciously took a few steps back!

    Zhuang Jie pointed to the six paper dolls and asked, Which side's lone soul do you belong to?

    All of the paper dolls' eyes actually blinked, and then with a high-pitched child's voice they said in unison, We are the local Soul-Shrouding Slaves.

    Zhuang Jie continued, Under whose orders? Who will be guarding the grave?

    I don't know … Don't know... I don't know … The group of paper dolls were like robots that had short-circuited and repeated the words' stuck '!

    Zhuang Jie's expression became serious. After a moment, he bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on each of the paper dolls' heads. Then, these paper dolls actually started to burn!

    Not many people in the world have seen what I've seen tonight. It's too magical, too strange!

    After Zhuang Jie finished this, he took out a compass from his body and started fiddling around. He picked up the hoe from the ground and shouted at me, Dig.

    What? You're still digging?

    I walked over bitterly. I didn't dare to say anything else this time because I knew that he would send me a message after I asked, If you don't want to die, then dig …

    Zhuang Jie chose the centermost grave. The two of us dug to the side, and after half an hour, the coffin was finally revealed.

    I decided not to look inside the coffin this time because I had seen the tragedy with my own eyes when the people died. After being buried in the ground for so many days, it was bound to be even more terrifying.

    I stayed far away and watched Zhuang Jie open the door.

    The lid creaked open and Zhuang Jie glanced inside. He was stunned for a moment before turning his head to me and said, This is your corpse. You have to burn it or else the corpse devil will be difficult to deal with.

    What did you say? I asked, gaping at him.

    However, he ignored me and kept nodding his head in my direction. However, he scared me so much that I pissed my pants. After getting up, he ran towards him and subconsciously looked behind him, afraid that there was a ghost!

    Zhuang Jie once again shook the flashlight into the coffin, which made me suddenly clear that there was a person lying inside. It was a woman in red!

    She was actually Lin Xue'er!

    Holy shit, what's going on? Why did Lin Xue'er's corpse come all the way here?

    Before I could ask Zhuang Jie what had happened, he told me to help him carry Lin Xue'er's body out and burn it.

    I asked, Why did you burn it?

    This corpse has been tampered with. After tonight, it will easily turn into a corpse devil. Hurry, burn it. Your village will be able to safely pass through tonight.

    I was already immune to Lin Xue'er's corpse. At this moment, I didn't have any fear. Oh! I wanted to help carry the corpse, but at this moment, I felt that there was something wrong with Zhuang Jie's words!

    He quickly asked, You... What do you mean, safely tonight? What happens after that?"

    Zhuang Jie shook his head, Someone is raising a ghost in your village, I guess that person is the one who harmed you. We have to find this person to be safe in your village.

    Raising ghosts?

    I racked my brains to think. What kind of person in the village would raise a ghost? That shouldn't be the case. Besides, our family has never provoked anyone before, so why would he want to harm me?

    I told Zhuang Jie about what had happened, but who knew that he would say, It's not that you've offended someone, but your body has harmed you.

    Before I could ask, he urged me to carry the body and explain it to me when we got back.

    Just like that, we carried Lin Xue'er's corpse out. It was weird, but this corpse weighed at least a hundred catties. I lifted it gently and felt as though someone was helping me carry it. It was surprisingly light.

    Although Lin Xue'er had been dead for a few days, her body didn't show any signs of rotting and she still emitted the fragrance of a woman. Curious, I couldn't help but ask Zhuang Jie what was the principle behind this.

    He did not avoid the topic this time and said to me, This is the sign of a Corpse Transformation, and will soon become a corpse devil. I think that the Warlock had carefully planned a series of adulterous corpses, using someone else as a primer. Oh right, tell your parents in the future, don't come back here. Your body is easily taken into consideration by evil people."

    I didn't want to ask too many questions. It was cold and scary here, so it was better to go back earlier.

    Zhuang Jie took out a yellow talisman from his pocket and resolutely chanted some incantations I didn't understand. The yellow talisman then lit up with a hu sound.

    He tossed the burning yellow talisman onto Lin Xue'er's corpse. A miracle immediately happened. In twenty seconds at most, twenty seconds, there was only a mark left on the ground. Even the ashes had been burned away!

    What kind of high technology was this, to be so powerful? If it was used to kill someone, how terrible would that be? People couldn't even find evidence.

    CHAPTER 5 - WHO BURIED THE BODY

    While he was still in a daze, Zhuang Jie had already cleaned up all the traces on the ground. Then I was asked to help fill in the grave to avoid unnecessary trouble.

    I nodded stupidly, and as if in a daze, I lifted the hoe and filled it with his dirt. To tell the truth, I've also seen Zhuang Jie use this move before. It's the kind that appears in Hong Kong ghost movies, but everyone knows that it was created with special effects. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I feel that this world is inconceivable.

    My heart surged with fervor. I wanted to learn, to take Zhuang Jie as my master!

    It took us a few minutes to fill out the grave and we hurried home. I tried to trick Zhuang Jie into saying that I wanted to know what it was like to ignite a fire out of thin air, but he was too smart to do it.

    When he reached the front of the house, Zhuang Jie suddenly stopped. He held his hands behind his back and stared at the opposite side of the village without saying a word. I looked back, wondering what he was looking at.

    The village was surrounded by mountains on all four sides, and across from my house was the lowest point of the mountain. That was the old village, and many of the old houses were still there.

    In the middle of the night, I actually saw a ray of light coming from the old house at the foot of the mountain. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be, since it's already late at night, and the villagers usually go to bed by 10 PM at the latest, why would there still be people coming to the old village?

    Something was wrong!

    Zhuang Jie waved the sleeves of his robe, turned around, and told me to go in and sleep. He took a walk around the village.

    Since it's already so late, I might as well go with you. It's not easy to walk on the road in the village.

    As a result, my hot face was slapped on his butt. He then waved his loose Daoist robe sleeve, telling me to go back to sleep, leaving the door open.

    Then Zhuang Jie went to the west side of the village. He actually didn't go towards the light of the old village, and it was only now that I realized that he had not turned on his flashlight when he walked in the night.

    Master, this time I understand the principle of being unable to judge a person by his appearance.

    After entering the room, I didn't dare go back to sleep. Sitting in the living room, I felt a chill down my spine, especially when I saw the eight trigrams on my door. It was a very strange feeling, an indescribable feeling of oppression.

    This is the feeling of ghosts and gods. I don't like these cultures, such as gods, I can't help but panic when I see them. I don't know if this is a psychological effect.

    Deep into the night was the hardest to bear. Outside, the sounds of insects and the barking of dogs could help me recover my strength. I sat properly in the living room, not daring to move.

    There were no curtains in my house, and as soon as the dark of the night came into view, it immediately aroused my fear of ghosts and gods. I felt a chill run down my spine as I hurriedly covered my head with my clothes and crawled on the table, not daring to look out anymore.

    I wasn't able to comfortably close my eyes for a few days, so after I climbed up, I dozed off. Unknowingly, I fell asleep.

    The damn nightmare swept over me again, and I dreamed I was sitting in the living room, sweating, looking out the window.

    Outside the window, the night was hazy. The cold air had already covered the glass with mist, making it impossible to see outside.

    There was a sudden sound of Sasha outside, like someone walking slowly in slippers, and it made my heart lurch as I stared at the window.

    I knew that I was the only one in the house, and that our house was at the foot of the eastern side of the village.

    The sound of footsteps in the middle of the night meant that something was wrong!

    The footsteps echoed for a long time, but no one knocked on the door. I got even more nervous and wanted to get up to take a look.

    Suddenly, a woman's voice was heard, It's too late. Don't go out.

    I was anxious to go back to my room and jump into bed. I wiped my forehead and said, Erm, thank you.

    After saying that, my scalp tingled. Am I not the only one in this house? Where did this woman come from?!

    Breathing rapidly, I turned my head and a beautiful girl immediately entered my eyes. She coldly looked at me and blinked her watery eyes!

    Ghost! I was suddenly frightened, she … she is Lin Xue'er!

    When she saw me shouting, she didn't have any expression on her face. She pointed towards the window and said, Someone wants to harm you. You can't go out.

    How could I still listen? As I tried to run away with my hands and feet kicking about, a violent movement immediately woke me up.

    As he opened his eyes, he realized that it was just a dream. Huu. Luckily, it wasn't real.

    I was sitting here by myself, the window was no different from a dream, the glass was already shrouded in mist, the darkness outside was blurred, and the buzzing of insects could be heard. Other than that, the atmosphere was very still.

    I looked at the time. It's already past one in the morning, and Zhuang Jie still hasn't returned. Where did he go?

    Just as I put my phone back in my pocket, I suddenly heard Sha Sha from outside the window. My heart tightened as I heard the sound in my dream. It could be said to be identical!

    Did Zhuang Jie return?

    I got up and quietly walked over to the window, listening for any sounds from outside.

    The rustling quickly approached the window and stopped abruptly in front of me. After a few minutes, nothing happened.

    I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and reached out to wipe the water off the glass to see what was going on outside.

    As the mist was wiped clean by me, the darkness outside gradually came into view. Suddenly, a vague white figure appeared outside the glass window, startling me! When I took a closer look, I saw a pale, paper-pale face with a pair of sharp eyes staring straight at me!

    Oh my god, ghost!

    I felt goosebumps all over my body. I staggered back a few steps, but just then, the electric light suddenly sizzled and the light was extinguished!

    My heart immediately leaped into my throat as I felt a buzzing sound in my ears, almost causing me to faint from fright!

    I backed up to the wall behind me and stared straight at the window, the face I knew so well. It was Dana, one of the dead men from a few days ago!

    They …
