Chen Chu hummed, reached out and pulled the old man out of the soil like a carrot and threw it aside. He took out a stainless steel shovel from the space and started digging! The old man was lying on the ground crookedly, with his lower half looking like a skeleton. He didn't see how Chen Chu took out the shovel, and just thought he didn't see it when he brought it just now.

The old man turned his upper body around with difficulty, and a smile appeared on his rotten face: "Young man, I haven't seen you so bold in a long time. I have passed many people in the past. No matter what I say loudly or quietly, they are all scared and run away. , Alas, my bones are exposed to the wind and the sun, it’s really uncomfortable..."

Chen Chu dug very quickly, and in just a moment he dug a hole two meters long, one meter wide, four meters deep and three meters deep. He lifted the old man's body and put it in, then filled it with soil: "Old man, I don't think you talk like that." How come ordinary people don’t even have a coffin when they die?”

The bones of the old man are actually only white bones, with no flesh and blood at all. His appearance is just that of the soul appearing on the bones, but the soul is not powerful enough, so only the flesh and blood of the upper body can be shown, and the face sometimes rots and sometimes does not rot.

He smiled awkwardly: "I was a scholar during my lifetime. I studied hard all my life for fame. I was tested as a boy at thirty and as a scholar at fifty. I don't want to go further.

As a result, I encountered bandits on the mountain road and robbed me of my luggage. Before I left the mountain, I was attacked by several wild wolves and died. Fortunately, a man from Zichuan County passed by and drove away the wild wolves with a sickle. Seeing my pity, he specially came to I bought a straw mat and buried it here, but he was in an emergency and couldn't dig a deep pit, and I was dug out by wild dogs..."

Chen Chu: "..."

This sounded really embarrassing. He stopped asking, covered it all with soil, and compacted the soil with his fingers.

He pulled out his golden sword and chopped down the tree stump next to him, asked the old man his name, made a simple tombstone and inserted it on the grave. When he turned around and was about to leave, the surroundings suddenly filled with gloomy air, and there were bursts of whimpering sounds: "Scholar, scholar gang." Help me, collect the bones!" "I'm leaving my bones to you too." "Uncle, it's so cold when I'm soaking in the water, help me change my position."

The aura of these ghosts became heavier and heavier, wrapping around Chen Chu as if he was in an ice cellar. They are too anxious to finally meet such a good person. If they miss it, they don't know when the next one will arrive.

Chen Chu understood their mood and didn't care that the yin energy was too strong. He said with a smile: "If the crowding continues like this, I'm afraid I will lie down and sleep with everyone else." As soon as these words came out, the ghosts realized that they had gone too far. , hurriedly gave some space, so as not to kill this kind man.

The ghost of an old woman sat on the bulging grave and said, "Young man, it's rare to see someone like you. We are so blessed."

Chen Chu was digging a hole in the ground. The shovel clicked like a drill. He looked around at the ghosts and said: "Now the Daqian Dynasty is troubled by internal and external troubles. The living people don't have enough to eat. There are wars and thieves when going out. In the mountains and forests, There are even more jackals, tigers and leopards lurking around, everyone is in danger, and it’s understandable that no one stops here.”

The soul of the old man who had just been buried floated out and sat on his tombstone. The square and regular holes were comfortable. He listened to Chen Chu's words and said with great empathy: "Yes, it is indeed like this. I can help." It is our duty not to help out of love, and if others do not default or owe us anything, how can we forcefully demand it?"

Chen Chu dug around and asked a question: "According to the book, after death, people should go to the underworld and be reincarnated. Most of you are not young anymore. The yang life should be exhausted and the yin life is gone. Why are you still there?" Do you want to stay in the human world? You must know that if things go on like this, the yang energy in the human world will continue to wear away, and no matter how strong the soul is, there will be a time when it collapses..."

This is the reason why the old man's soul cannot transform into a complete physical body. It is late at night and it is so weak, not to mention the torture it will suffer during the day when the sun is strong. The old man sighed: "It's because we don't want to be reincarnated. It's just that no one knows where the hell gate opens. So we went to the City God's Temple to seek guidance, but we couldn't even get in. To get in, we had to pay one hundred vows."

The ghosts who stay here are either locals who died of poverty or foreigners who died here. Who will spend money to burn ghost coins for us? They have to be willing to force ghost coins! It would be nice to have a place to lie down..."

What is Yuan Li Ming Chao? It sounds high-end, but it's not a big deal. It's just that when people burn ghost coins for the deceased, their pious wishes will be attached to the ghost coins and become "effective currency". If they are thrown casually into the sky, they are of no use. big.

When Chen Chu came to this world, he was not as impatient as usual for tasks. After all, he had not yet understood things like refining the mind. He couldn't be impatient even if he wanted to. He also didn't look for the gods in the temples and Taoist temples. He showed up in front of his friends. It's a good thing, being exposed in front of the enemy is asking for death.

In the previous world, Bai Wuchang's mourning stick and Hei Wuchang's soul-locking chain made him clearly realize that without the help of gods, he was only a slightly stronger ascetic after all.

Therefore, for more than a month, in addition to reading and working, he did not fall behind in cultivation.

There were more than twenty holes in the mountain forest, and more than twenty corpses were buried. The souls gradually became quiet. There are also many scattered bones in the soil. There are no souls inhabiting them. It seems that they have been wiped out by the yang energy of the world...

After Chen Chu finished his work, he thrust the shovel into the ground: "Everyone, I'm looking for someone. Her name is A-mei. She is Fan Ming's daughter-in-law from Zichuan County. Does anyone know the location?"

The old woman who had just been buried said: "Old Fantou's daughter-in-law, I know! Although her grave is here, she doesn't often appear here. She has come back in the past month or so. You can follow the west direction from here. As we walked, we saw a round tomb and a stone monument, that’s where Amei is.”

Chen Chu thanked him and walked straight in the direction. The mountains and forests were vast. After walking for more than ten minutes, he saw a round tomb, like a small turtle shell. On the tortoise shell... there was a woman sitting on the tomb with both hands. Holding a swaddling baby and rocking it gently, singing unintelligible songs in dialect...

He walked over, took a look at the tombstone, and asked, "Amei?"

The child in the woman's arms was full of blood, more like a lump of human-shaped flesh and blood. She heard Chen Chu's voice unexpectedly, and was so frightened that she uttered an ouch and hid in the grave without making a sound.

Chen Chu saluted to the tombstone: "I am the tenant who recently lived in Mr. Fan Mingfan's house. I overheard what happened to Mrs. Fan and was confused. I came here to ask for clarification!"

A-mei's voice came from the grave: "I am not worthy of being called a wife. I am just an ordinary woman. However, the young master is very handsome and looks like he is either rich or noble. Please don't get close to me, lest you frighten the young master. My death..." Alas, sir, don’t ask any more, there are so many injustices in the world, my fate should be like this, I will end it once and for all by dying, so as not to stain my family’s reputation.”
