A badly mutilated corpse lay in the coffin.
It was not the rotten corpse of Zhou Kangâs grandfather.
The corpse emitted a pungent stench of corpses. It was unknown what kind of torture it had suffered when it was alive.
Its abdomen was cut open with a knife.
Its expression was ferocious and one of pain.
Its exposed skin was bruised and purple, as if it had died not long ago.
As the time of death was not too long ago, everyone could vaguely see the outline of the corpseâs face.
The corpse was a woman with a pretty face.
Chen Yu stood by the pit and looked at the female corpse in the coffin with a complicated expression.
After vomiting for a few minutes, everyone almost emptied their galls.
Chen Yu extended his hand and helped Zhou Kang up.
Zhou Kang struggled to get up from the ground. His expression was filled with fear and unease.
âDr. Chen, did you know that such a thing was lying in the coffin?â
At this moment, Zhou Kangâs heart broke down.
He complained that Chen Yu hadnât said so earlier.
If only Chen Yu had told him earlier that there was a female corpse whose stomach had been emptied in the coffin, Zhou Kang would not stand by the side and watch no matter what.
âI told you before,â Chen Yu said expressionlessly. âThe corpse in the coffin isnât your grandfather. Youâre the one who didnât believe it.â
âNow youâre saying that 1 didnât warn you. Do you think itâs my fault?â
Worried that Chen Yu would get angry, Zhou Kang hurriedly apologized.
âDr. Chen, donât be angry. Itâs my fault. I donât know how to phrase my words.â
âThatâs right, you reminded me. Itâs all my fault for not remembering your words.â
âBut then again, who is the woman in the coffin?â
âWhere did my grandfatherâs body go?â
âWhich bastard placed this female corpse in my grandfatherâs grave?â
As he spoke, Zhou Kangâs emotions began to get agitated.
The whole thing was just strange.
After moving the graves, his whole family began to have nightmares.
âDamn it, that Zhou guy is too much of a scam! First, he owed us our wages, and then he made us see this damn thing. 1 almost peed my pants.â
âNot to mention you, I almost peed my pants too.â
âItâs too smelly. The smell is so strong that I want to spit out my gall bladder.â
âAmitabha. Please donât come looking for me tonight.â
The people who dug up the coffin cursed Zhou Kang.
They swore they would pack up and leave immediately and never work for Zhou Kang again.
Zhou Kang was a black-hearted boss and a bastard without a bottom line.
The woman in the coffin did not die a normal death, and Zhou Kang might be the murderer himself.
âI remember now!â
Zhou Kang suddenly slapped his forehead.
Wasnât the woman in the coffin the female ghost who wanted his life in his dream?
Now that he had gradually calmed down, Zhou Kang could confirm that the woman in the coffin was at least 80% similar to the female ghost who chased after him in his dream.
âYouâre right.â Chen Yu nodded. âThe female ghost in your dream is her.â
After receiving Chen Yuâs definite answer, Zhou Kangâs face turned deathly pale.
âDr. Chen, what⦠what should we do next?â
âShould we hand this body over to the authorities or find another place to bury it?â
Chen Yu sighed.
âIf you take her out now, tonight will be the death of your entire family.â
âShe came to your family in her dreams because she mistakenly thought that you had stolen her most precious thing.â
âWhat is it?â
Zhou Kang asked.
âHer child.â
Chen Yu pointed at the female corpseâs abdomen.
âShe suspects that you stole her child.â
âIf someone took your child away, would you fight them to the death?â
âOf course!â
Zhou Kang did not hesitate.
âWhoever dares to snatch my child, 1 will risk murder to get my child back!â
âBut we didnât steal her child,â Zhou Kang pleaded aggrievedly.
âThatâs why I said she mistakenly thought you guys did it.â
âSheâs also related to your recent gain of fortune,â Chen Yu said after pausing momentarily.
Next, Chen Yu called Zhou Kang to his side.
He squatted on the ground and pointed at the female corpse in the coffin up close.
Under Chen Yuâs guidance, Zhou Kang saw that the corpseâs shoulders and chest were each pierced with a wooden nail.
âThis is called the Soul Suppressing Nail. Itâs a method of suppressing evil in folk customs.â
âBut this matter has nothing to do with you getting rich.â
After Chen Yu finished speaking, Zhou Kangâs nose was nearly crooked from anger.
If it didnât matter, why did he let him see it?
Chen Yu stood up and continued, âSome barren mountains and treacherous rivers are useless to ordinary people.â
âBut they are good places for people with bad intentions.â
âBy burying and breeding the corpse here, it will not rot for a thousand years.â
âThis is a corpse breeding ground?!â
Zhou Kangâs heart skipped a beat.
The folk customs here were simple and unadorned, with many stories of gods and ghosts.
Chen Yu nodded once again. This was indeed a corpse breeding ground.
âBut why would someone bury the corpse here in a corpse breeding ground?â Zhou Kang blurted out.
âIf you donât bury her in the corpse breeding ground, how can the person bless you with a fortune?â
âHow can you get your business that easily?â
Chen Yu looked at Zhou Kang meaningfully.
Zhou Kang instantly sensed something unusual in Chen Yuâs words.
The older generation often said that the corpse breeding grounds were terrifying.
Once the corpse was buried here, it was very likely that it would become a zombie.
Even if they didnât become zombies, they would still endanger those living here.
âDuring the first three days of your meeting with the Fengshui master,â Chen Yu said coolly, âyou entertained him every day at party places to have fun.â
âOther than wanting the Fengshui Master to do his best for you,â
âYou hoped that he could improve your fortune.â
âThe Fengshui master didnât go back on his word.â
âHe used his own method to give you your fortune.â
Zhou Kangâs expression was so awkward that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide.
The Fengshui master didnât reject anything he was given.
He accepted as many women as he could give him.
He never hesitated, not even once.
Zhou Kang thought the Fengshui masterâs character was romantic, playing around in the world, unafraid of touching women or money.
Now, Zhou Kang no longer thinks so.
âThis person has no real ability,â Chen Yu said. âHowever, he knows how to take the wrong path.â
âHeâs good at playing dirty tricks.â
âMan-made accidents, fraud by cold reading.â
âThese are just one of his many methods.â
âHe canât stimulate your wealth, but he has a way to make you rich in a short period of time.â
Chen Yu made it clear that the Fengshui Master was an incompetent scammer.
He didnât know any normal Fengshui bolstering methods.
However, he knew many folk âfolk prescriptionsâ.
There was a sorcery that could make people rich for a short period of time.
He went searching for the corpse of a woman whose child had died in her womb.
He cruelly dug out the child from the corpse and threw it away.
Then, in the shortest time possible, he buried the corpse in Zhou Kangâs ancestral graves.
The corpse was connected to Zhou Kangâs familyâs fortune through some means.
In this way, the corpse would think that this family was her flesh and blood.
Through her corpse energy, the family could increase their wealth.
Burying the female corpse in a corpse breeding ground could also ensure that the energy generated by the corpse would not dry up.
After hearing Chen Yuâs explanation, Zhou Kangâs scalp went numb.
It turned out that he was able to make a fortune because the female corpse had mistaken him for her child.
He lied to her and made her raise someone elseâs child without knowing why.
The more emotions she invested, the more angry she became when she discovered the truth..
