A badly mutilated corpse lay in the coffin.
It was not the rotten corpse of Zhou Kang’s 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 corpse’s 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.
“Dr. Chen, did you know that such a thing was lying in the coffin?”
At this moment, Zhou Kang’s heart broke down.
He complained that Chen Yu hadn’t 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.
“I told you before,” Chen Yu said expressionlessly. “The corpse in the coffin isn’t your grandfather. You’re the one who didn’t believe it.”
“Now you’re saying that 1 didn’t warn you. Do you think it’s my fault?”
Worried that Chen Yu would get angry, Zhou Kang hurriedly apologized.
“Dr. Chen, don’t be angry. It’s my fault. I don’t know how to phrase my words.”
“That’s right, you reminded me. It’s all my fault for not remembering your words.”
“But then again, who is the woman in the coffin?”
“Where did my grandfather’s body go?”
“Which bastard placed this female corpse in my grandfather’s grave?”
As he spoke, Zhou Kang’s emotions began to get agitated.
The whole thing was just strange.
After moving the graves, his whole family began to have nightmares.
“Damn 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.”
“Not to mention you, I almost peed my pants too.”
“It’s too smelly. The smell is so strong that I want to spit out my gall bladder.”
“Amitabha. Please don’t come looking for me tonight.”
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.
“I remember now!”
Zhou Kang suddenly slapped his forehead.
Wasn’t 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.
“You’re right.” Chen Yu nodded. “The female ghost in your dream is her.”
After receiving Chen Yu’s definite answer, Zhou Kang’s face turned deathly pale.
“Dr. Chen, what… what should we do next?”
“Should we hand this body over to the authorities or find another place to bury it?”
Chen Yu sighed.
“If you take her out now, tonight will be the death of your entire family.”
“She came to your family in her dreams because she mistakenly thought that you had stolen her most precious thing.”
“What is it?”
Zhou Kang asked.
“Her child.”
Chen Yu pointed at the female corpse’s abdomen.
“She suspects that you stole her child.”
“If someone took your child away, would you fight them to the death?”
“Of course!”
Zhou Kang did not hesitate.
“Whoever dares to snatch my child, 1 will risk murder to get my child back!”
“But we didn’t steal her child,” Zhou Kang pleaded aggrievedly.
“That’s why I said she mistakenly thought you guys did it.”
“She’s also related to your recent gain of fortune,” 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 Yu’s guidance, Zhou Kang saw that the corpse’s shoulders and chest were each pierced with a wooden nail.
“This is called the Soul Suppressing Nail. It’s a method of suppressing evil in folk customs.”
“But this matter has nothing to do with you getting rich.”
After Chen Yu finished speaking, Zhou Kang’s nose was nearly crooked from anger.
If it didn’t matter, why did he let him see it?
Chen Yu stood up and continued, “Some barren mountains and treacherous rivers are useless to ordinary people.”
“But they are good places for people with bad intentions.”
“By burying and breeding the corpse here, it will not rot for a thousand years.”
“This is a corpse breeding ground?!”
Zhou Kang’s 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.
“But why would someone bury the corpse here in a corpse breeding ground?” Zhou Kang blurted out.
“If you don’t bury her in the corpse breeding ground, how can the person bless you with a fortune?”
“How can you get your business that easily?”
Chen Yu looked at Zhou Kang meaningfully.
Zhou Kang instantly sensed something unusual in Chen Yu’s 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 didn’t become zombies, they would still endanger those living here.
“During the first three days of your meeting with the Fengshui master,” Chen Yu said coolly, “you entertained him every day at party places to have fun.”
“Other than wanting the Fengshui Master to do his best for you,”
“You hoped that he could improve your fortune.”
“The Fengshui master didn’t go back on his word.”
“He used his own method to give you your fortune.”
Zhou Kang’s expression was so awkward that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide.
The Fengshui master didn’t 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 master’s character was romantic, playing around in the world, unafraid of touching women or money.
Now, Zhou Kang no longer thinks so.
“This person has no real ability,” Chen Yu said. “However, he knows how to take the wrong path.”
“He’s good at playing dirty tricks.”
“Man-made accidents, fraud by cold reading.”
“These are just one of his many methods.”
“He can’t stimulate your wealth, but he has a way to make you rich in a short period of time.”
Chen Yu made it clear that the Fengshui Master was an incompetent scammer.
He didn’t know any normal Fengshui bolstering methods.
However, he knew many folk “folk prescriptions”.
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 Kang’s ancestral graves.
The corpse was connected to Zhou Kang’s family’s 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 Yu’s explanation, Zhou Kang’s 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 else’s child without knowing why.
The more emotions she invested, the more angry she became when she discovered the truth..
