The subordinate didn’t notice that Dong Mingshan’s face was frighteningly dark and continued to explain.

If a small crane couldn’t lift the coffin…

“The elders in the village and the exorcist that we invited all said that my mother’s coffin became heavier and couldn’t leave the ground because she had something on her mind,” Dong Mingshan said unhappily.

“Even if we use a crane to lift the coffin and send it into her grave forcefully, she won’t be able to rest in peace.”

To a certain extent, his subordinate’s method was indeed useful.

However, it could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

If he did not solve the core problem, there would be more problems in the future.

Fortunately, Dong Mingshan still had a few reliable subordinates.

Everyone started recommending Chen Yu.

Dong Mingshan’s scalp went numb as he listened to his subordinates introduce Chen Yu’s various abilities.

He couldn’t believe there was such a powerful person in the world.

The ancient clairvoyant, often said to know 500 years into the past and future, was probably not as powerful compared to Chen Yu.

“Dr. Chen, that’s about it. I don’t know what my mother’s last wish is.”

“Can I trouble you to come with me to my hometown?”

“My village is not far from here. It’s only a few dozen kilometers away.”

“When you arrive, please help me think of a way to fulfill my mother’s last wish and let her go on her way in peace.”

Dong Mingshan begged.

“On account of your filial piety, I’ll go with you.”

Chen Yu found a pen and paper, wrote a note, and placed it on the table.

After changing into a set of more convenient clothes for him to move around, he followed Dong Mingshan out of his clinic.

“Old Zhao, you worked hard yesterday. Go home and take a rest. You don’t have to go to the office today.”

“Old Wang, drive us there.”

Old Zhao, who lived in Dongming Mountain Pass, was the executive who introduced Chen Yu to him.

Driver Old Wang started the car and drove out of the city with ease.

An hour later, the car drove into a modern village.

All the main roads in the village were asphalt roads.

There was a street lamp on both sides of the road every few meters.

Most houses were two-story buildings, and almost all had cars parked in the courtyard.

It did not look like a village but more like a holiday town.

A few minutes later, the car drove straight to the end of the road.

They entered a large house that looked like a villa.

The building was three stories high, and the courtyard in front of the building occupied an area of about a few hundred square meters.

A mourning shed was on the left side of the courtyard, and a red coffin was placed inside.

On both sides of the mourning shed, there were a large number of paper men and horses, coupled with elegiac couplets and wreaths.

In front of the coffin, a Daoist priest wearing a yellow robe with a scarf on his head and a mahogany sword in his hand muttered something as he moved.

“Hmm?”

After getting out of the car, Dong Mingshan was about to invite Chen Yu in when he saw the Daoist priest inside.

“Brother, you came back just in time. Let me introduce you.”

“This is the exorcist I spent a lot of money to invite, Daoist Priest Yunxiao.”

At this moment, a person walked out of the mourning shed.

The man was in his forties and looked very similar to Dong Mingshan.

“Second brother, come with me.”

Dong Mingshan smiled apologetically at Chen Yu and respectfully asked Chen Yu to wait momentarily.

Then, Dong Mingshan pulled his younger brother Dong Mingshui to the courtyard entrance.

“I told you last night that I would ask Dr. Chen to come and help. I told you not to ask anyone else.”

“It’s not like you don’t understand the principle that people of the same trade are enemies.”

Dong Mingshan was very dissatisfied with his brother’s decision.

A Daoist priest stood inside the shed, while Chen Yu stood outside.

Who should handle this matter?

“Big brother, I don’t think it’s a big deal.”

“No matter if it’s Chen Yu or Daoist Yunxiao,” Dong Mingshui said disapprovingly, “whoever can bury our mother safely will be our family’s benefactor.”

“It’s true that people of the same trade are enemies, but there’s nothing wrong with being prepared.”

“You have always liked to make your own decisions since you were young.”

Dong Mingshui shook his head helplessly.

His younger brother’s meaning was very clear. What if Chen Yu had a name for himself and wasn’t of much use?

With Daoist Yunxiao as a backup, things would not fall into a deadlock again.

Elsewhere, Chen Yu walked into the mourning shed unhurriedly.

Glancing at Daoist Yunxiao, who had a sage-like bearing and was waving the peach wood sword in his hand, Chen Yu smiled faintly.

Arriving at the coffin’s side, Chen Yu patted the lid three times, neither lightly nor heavily.

“Brat, what are you doing!”

Seeing this, Daoist Yunxiao hurriedly stopped what he was doing and angrily rebuked Chen Yu for disrespecting the dead.

The commotion quickly attracted the Dong Brothers’ attention.

Dong Mingshui and his brother entered the spirit shed one after another.

They asked what had happened.

“This man doesn’t know manners,” Daoist Yunxiao said with a dissatisfied expression. “He hit the coffin with his hand. This is great disrespect to the dead. Mr. Dong, if he’s a relative of the Dong family, he should leave the mourning shed quickly.”

“I don’t want to continue disturbing the peace of the dead.”

Upon hearing this, Dong Mingshan looked at Chen Yu doubtfully.

A person’s reputation was like a tree’s shadow. He believed that Chen Yu wouldn’t act recklessly.

But what did it mean to hit the coffin with his hand?

“Mr. Chen, my big brother sincerely invited you over, but you didn’t give us a solution. Instead, you slapped my mother’s coffin with your hand.”

“Please give us an explanation. What exactly do you want?”

Dong Mingshui asked unhappily.

“What do 1 want to do?” Chen Yu said with a faint smile. “You’ll know later.”

“Daoist priest, based on your experience, why can’t you lift the coffin of the deceased?”

“Naturally, there are things on her mind.”

“I’ve been down the mountain for many years. I’ve encountered many similar things,” Daoist Yunxiao said without hesitation.

“Most of the deceased are unwilling to leave their homes because they have unfinished wishes or some kind of injustice.”

“In short, in order to let the deceased leave home in peace, we must first ask what kind of wish she has in her heart.”

“I just used a spell to communicate with the underworld and contact the ghost of the deceased.”

Daoist Yunxiao’s words were shocking.

Mother Dong refused to leave because of her eldest son.

“Because of me?”

“What?” Dong Mingshan was shocked. “Daoist Priest, is it because of me that my mother refused to leave home?”

“The old woman’s ghost said it herself,” Daoist Yunxiao said solemnly. “She’s so angry with you that she cried many times before she died.”

“She once advised you to promote your younger brother, but you were only willing to arrange an idle position for your younger brother.”

“At the same time, you interfered with your brother’s marriage.”

“You even forcefully broke up his marriage.”

“You were also extremely mean to your family.”

“You even treated them as stumbling blocks.”

“You don’t show any kindness to your relatives who need your help, chasing them out of the door many times.”

“Have I said anything wrong about these things?”

Daoist Yunxiao asked sternly.

“Did… did my mother really tell you all this?”

Dong Mingshan’s expression changed drastically..
