Translator: 549690339
“What… What are these symbols?” Song Yuru hurriedly reached out to grab the two symbols in her hand without any hesitation.
“One of them is an amulet, and the other is a soul securing charm.” Huang Xiaolong briefly explained, “The amulet is to protect you, to keep you safe from the harassnt of ghosts. The soul securing charm is to stop your soul from being beckoned by wild ghosts.”
“Little Long… you’re getting more and more terrifying…” Song Yuru pulled a long face.
“I’m going to the mountain! If you’re really scared, go back.” Huang Xiaolong lifted his foot and walked towards the back mountain.
At this mont, how could Song Yuru dare to stay alone? She quickly rushed to follow Huang Xiaolong, tightly clutching his arm, her entire delicate body pressed against Huang Xiaolong.
Together, they treaded along a rugged mountain path, taking deep and shallow steps.
This mountain trail led straight to the back mountain cetery!
There were just too many tombs on this back mountain.
There were new graves and there were old graves.
There were graves with tombstones and there were graves without tombstones.
So graves had not been worshipped for many years, not to ntion touching up the soil and repairs, they were dug out by rats and hedgehogs, and then riddled with rain, unveiling the coffin. So coffins had decayed, with burial clothing scattered everywhere. Nearby, charred tree trunks and twisted branches pointed towards the vast night sky without exception. The occasional cawing of crows sent shivers down one’s spine.
“Little Long… what… what are those glowing things?” Song Yuru’s teeth chattered as she pointed to the thick green phosphorescence scattered across the cetery.
“Oh, that’s ghost fire.” Huang Xiaolong said nonchalantly.
“Ghost… ghost fire…” Song Yuru was so scared that she couldn’t speak anymore, she used all her strength to clutch Huang Xiaolong’s arm. This, her abundant bosom occasionally brushed against Huang Xiaolong’s body, causing his heart to flutter and his fortune to seemingly increase.
As they walked, suddenly, a strong wind howled through the graveyard, and above their heads, the sky was obscured by dark clouds. The over one ter tall wild grass around them swayed violently in the wind, even being forced to bend down.
In reality, this gust was a Yin wind, the strength of this Yin wind could knock down even the hardiest of grass, showing just how terrifying the Yin Qi here was.
Mixed within the Yin Qi was an intense resentnt and evil Qi, even a healthy adult male would fall ill after being blown by this Yin wind.
Lucky for Song Yuru, she pressed herself onto the protective amulet and the soul securing charm given by Huang Xiaolong, otherwise, the consequences could be unimaginable.
“Actually… in this graveyard, with only a few dostic ghosts and wild ghosts, there wouldn’t be such intense resentnt. It seems that the spirits here are furious, realizing the Hu Family has been reaping their descendants’ fortunes, hence their resentnt is through the roof…” Huang Xiaolong mumbled to himself.
“Little Long… what are you talking about? The Hu Family? The wealthiest family in our village?” Amidst her fear, Song Yuru was sowhat puzzled. “Little Long, are you saying that these weird things happening tonight are related to the Hu Family? But… they haven’t wronged you…”
“Right! My dear, now that it’s co to this, it’s ti I stopped hiding from you…” Huang Xiaolong’s expression turned unusually solemn. “To tell you the truth, today, I’ve co to dig up the Hu Family’s ancestral grave!”
“Ah !!”
Song Yuru scread in fright!
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Huang Xiaolong. “Little Long!! That’s incredible! You… You’re actually tampering with the Hu family’s ancestral grave! This is… this is disrespect to the dead! It’s immoral! And I’ve heard that it invites retribution to dig up soone else’s ancestral grave! My heavens! Could it be… could it be because… because I told you… the Hu’s Family young master pursued … you… you’re taking revenge on him, by digging up his family’s grave?”
“My dear, your imagination is too much. He is not worthy to be my love rival, do I need to take revenge on him this way?” Huang Xiaolong shook his head, then he solemnly said, “Never mind, I’ll tell you. After all, you are a part of this village, you have the right to know this…”
After saying this, Huang Xiaolong laid out all of the Hu Family’s misdeeds for Song Yuru in detail.
Hearing this, Song Yuru was so angry she felt as if she was burning from the inside out!
Her beautiful and elegant face was utterly twisted in fury, like an elegant cat suddenly hissing and baring its sharp teeth.
Her rage was enough to set the surrounding air on fire!
“Little Long, do you… do you an to say that the Hu Family has prospered by moving their ancestral tomb here, usurping the Qi of all the Yin houses in our village? And they rose in power, while the others in our village ran into bad luck, with bloody misfortunes… Brother Dakui caught late-stage liver cancer for no reason, was that the Hu Family’s doing? My dad had an unfortunate car accident, got beaten to the point of cerebral hemorrhage, nearly died, was that also the Hu Family’s doing? All of this… was it the Hu Family’s doing?”
Song Yuru clenched her teeth, her usually gentle and quiet self at this mont was wishing to kill!
If you handed her a knife, she’d definitely charge at the Hu Family!
“Wah ” Song Yuru started sobbing loudly all over again, clinging onto Huang Xiaolong, burying her head on his shoulder, “Little Long, we’ve been victimized so badly… we’ve really been wronged… we’re so innocent. The Hu Family funds the construction of subway stations and buildings… we respected them, thinking they were philanthropists… but they turned out to be devils! The most terrifying, vicious, and relentless devils in the world!”
“It’s okay, my dear wife, you’re actually very lucky. For the past half a year, you’ve been ho less often, so you haven’t been affected too much by bad luck. And you t , which unknowingly averted many disasters. You can consider as your lucky star.” Huang Xiaolong consoled. “Actually, if the Hu Family’s ancestral graves are excavated, the formation they’ve arranged will be broken. Then, not only will they no longer have good luck, they will also suffer a backlash, and their entire family will be left without a place to bury their bodies.”
“The Hu Family has a Taoist… they’ve set up a ‘Spirit Trapping Formation’ in the village, and also a ‘Nine Yin Wealth Gathering Formation’ in the cetery at the back mountain…”
Huang Xiaolong had already figured out what formation the Hu Family had set up.
“Nine Yin Wealth Gathering Formation?” Song Yuru raised her brows, “What… what an evil sounding technique…”
“Yes, my dear wife, the Nine Yin Wealth Gathering Formation is an extrely Yin and evil formation that can suck all the Qi from Yin houses within a ten-kiloter radius. It can make a family wealthy for three generations, creating a situation where ‘one family prospers, while thousands are reduced to begging’, ‘one family flourishes, while thousands families are exterminated’. But because the Qi has its exhaustion date, they must move the coffin every ten years.” Huang Xiaolong said seriously.
“Little Long! Let’s go dig up the Hu Family’s ancestral tomb right now! Let’s do it together! I’ll help you dig!” Song Yuru’s eyes were filled with resentfulness.
Genuine resentfulness.
The Hu Family’s actions were not just to gain at others’ expense, they were completely devoid of conscience, it was an affront to morality and justice!
At this mont, Song Yuru was no longer filled with fear, but her whole body was seething with hatred and a desire for destruction!
“Sounds good, my dear wife, we can go look for the Hu Family’s ancestral tomb right now, it should be quite easy to find.” Huang Xiaolong held Song Yuru’s hand as they road through the cetery.
Just then, from all directions of the burial mounds, the shrill cries of ghosts could be heard!
Whoosh
A woman ghost in red garnts shot out directly, it was extrely terrifying in appearance. Her head was already severed with nothing at her neck, her head being cradled in her hands. Both of her eyes were bleeding, but at the corners of her mouth was an eerie smile, laughing ‘hehehe’ with her mouth wide open.
It did not hide its ghostly form, so not only could Huang Xiaolong see it, even Song Yuru could see it clearly.
