Chương 1: Chapter 1: The Corpse Does Not Fall to the Ground
My name is Jiang Liu. I heard from my grandmother that four years ago, I got a strange illness and almost died.
It was my master who pulled me back from the gates of hell and taught me the skill of lighting lamps.
After a person dies, a lamp is lit under the coffin, which is a custom in many places. This lamp, called the Soul Calling Lamp, guides the deceased to reincarnate in the underworld. I followed my master and kept lighting this lamp repeatedly.
My master told me that my survival depends entirely on my ability to light lamps.
And the master is famous for his ability to show the dead the underworld and bury them in designated caves. I firmly believe in his words.
But he has a very strange rule: only hold funerals for those who die violently, which I find confusing. Everyone knows that violent deaths can lead to changes.
Master wears an iron mask all year round, and no one has ever seen what he looks like, including me! Therefore, everyone called him Mr. Iron Mask.
I thought my life would be plain, until one day, the light under the coffin turned blood red
Everything is because of my unfortunate sister-in-law.
I have a brother who was born with dementia. To put it bluntly, he's just a fool. He's over 20 years old and has no wife. Three years ago, my dad bought him a wife.
The day my sister-in-law came, she amazed me. Her skin is very fair, her temperament is gentle, and her facial features are delicate like a porcelain doll, making her look like a wealthy lady in the city. The first time I saw her, my heart skipped a beat, as if I had been possessed. But she seems to have a problem with her brain, doesn't speak much, and acts like a puppet, expressionless every day, often staring at one place in a daze.
Later on, I realized that the saddest thing is not to die in one's heart. She was abducted, or is she just a yellow flower girl.
I pity my sister-in-law from the bottom of my heart, watching her helpless eyes, as if I also understand that kind of hatred. I hate the unfairness of heaven, and since then, I have often quietly shared my good things with my sister-in-law.
My mother passed away early, and my grandmother is eager to have a grandson. Every night, she forces my brother and the two of them to have sex, and even worries that my brother is stupid and doesn't know what to do, so she climbs the wall and follows.
But what I didn't expect was that after my sister-in-law passed away for a year, my brother died! Died on the same bed.
Grandma thought that not only did her sister-in-law not leave her behind, but she also killed my brother and would hit her with a belt whenever she had nothing to do.
I often see bruises all over my sister-in-law's body that have been pulled red by her belt, but she never resists and only knows how to cry. Sometimes, she even stops crying and her eyes turn helpless, letting my grandmother beat her.
Every time I see this kind of gaze, my heart can't help but tighten.
I helped my sister-in-law once, but that time, my grandmother hit her even harder and asked if she had seduced me. She even used a needle to stab her and kept her from getting out of bed for three whole days.
From then on, I knew that helping my sister-in-law was harming her.
However, what I didn't expect was that when I made up my mind to help her for the second time, something happened to her!
I go to my master's Taoist temple during the day, and except for his work, I go home to sleep at night. That day, due to a lot of Taoist affairs, I went back a bit late.
I reached my doorstep with a flashlight and vaguely saw something hanging from the beam of the front door.
As I approached, I froze in place and my legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
A pair of dead fish like eyes, swollen and bloodshot inside, stared at me tightly, with their tongue sticking out long, and a face as pale as white paper, devoid of any color.
Sister in law, she hanged herself.
I felt a sudden dryness in my throat, and at the age of nineteen, I was afraid like never before. After a long pause, I couldn't help but scream.
Everyone at home was awakened by my shouting, and my grandparents and father walked out wearing clothes.
Baby, you... "Grandma was about to ask me what happened when she suddenly saw my sister-in-law hanging from the beam and froze in place.
My sister-in-law is wearing the red wedding dress she wore when she married my brother three years ago, which looks like crimson blood in the dark night, extremely dazzling and eerie.
Ah, what a sin, what a sin... "Grandpa sighed incessantly, as if he had aged a lot.
At this moment, the grandmother picked up the shoulder pole beside her and rushed towards her sister-in-law's body, constantly cursing.
This forced woman who constantly cuts off her head will rely on our old Jiang family for her death
At this moment, my father suddenly stood in front of my grandmother and smashed a pole on her head. His face looked a bit ugly and he said to my grandmother, "Mom, everyone is dead, are you still not satisfied
I rarely see my dad directly questioning my grandmother like this. Looking at my dad, my grandmother threw the pole aside and remained silent with a gloomy expression.
After calming down a lot, I also walked up to my father's side and looked at my sister-in-law hanging on the beam of the house. I found that her body seemed to be fixed and motionless, with only her clothes floating.
My heart is extremely complex. Yesterday, I went to find my sister-in-law and prepared to help her escape. This is the second time I have helped her, and I also want her to escape forever. Unexpectedly, something like this happened today.
Seeing my grandmother calm down, my dad looked at me and asked me to go over and help put down my sister-in-law's body.
Although I was very scared, having my dad with me helped me relax a lot. My dad asked me to hold onto my sister-in-law's body with both feet and lift it up.
When I hugged those two feet tightly, a bone chilling cold suddenly came, making me take a deep breath. Then I hugged my sister-in-law's calf and lifted it up.
With a muffled snort, I was even thrown to the ground by the reaction force. My dad looked at me with confusion, but my whole heart was filled with shock. I looked at my dad and said, "Dad, can't I lift it
My dad furrowed his brow and didn't reply. He walked up to where I was just now, but after trying, his face became even uglier.
He looked at me and asked me to hurry up and invite the master, go now, and do it quickly.
My dad's face was full of anxiety, and even when I saw the panic, I grabbed the flashlight and ran towards the master's Taoist temple without resting all the way.
When I brought my master to my house and looked at my sister-in-law's body, he didn't speak for a long time. I only heard him muttering to himself, 'How could there be such a heavy aura?'?
On the way, I had already explained the situation to my master. Now, my master asked me to bring the ladder over and immediately go check if there were any strange things on the beams of the house.
When I reached the beam of the house, my heart tightened. There was actually a black nail nailed to the white cloth on which my sister-in-law was hanging?
I told my master about the situation, and he immediately made me hold my breath and remove the nail. I naturally followed suit, but when I removed the nail, there was suddenly a creaking sound that startled me.
Upon closer inspection, it was the sound of my sister-in-law's body swaying and the friction between the rope and the beam of the house.
This makes me even more curious about the nail in my hand. Is it because my sister-in-law's body couldn't be lifted just now because of the existence of this nail?
I handed the nail to the master, and I could clearly feel that the eyes under the master's mask were shining with a cold light. At this moment, my grandmother came up to ask my master if it was my sister-in-law who forced her to harm the Jiang family behind the scenes and did something wrong.
The master gave his grandmother a faint glance and coldly told her that they were all half buried. He advised her to accumulate some virtue and not feel uncomfortable going down in the future, which immediately choked my grandmother and left her speechless.
At the same time, the master told my dad not to prepare anything and to directly enter the coffin and place firecrackers to notify the person.
My dad and I carried my sister-in-law's body into the coffin, but because she died violently, the coffin couldn't enter the main house. My dad went out and set off firecrackers to notify the neighbors, and my master also instructed me to light the soul lamp.
I took out something, poured the lamp oil, and crawled under my sister-in-law's coffin.
Suddenly, I felt as if something was pressing down on my back? I quickly recited the mnemonic: "Leave the universe, the Yin Yang ancient lamp, the vengeful soul on the road, and settle into the underworld
Watching the soul lamp light up, I breathed a sigh of relief because my master had told me that the lighting of the soul lamp proved that the deceased's soul was willing to go to the underworld, so there was basically no big problem.
Coming out from under the coffin, the feeling of being pressed on my back disappeared.
Just as I turned around to tell my master that it was over, I noticed that his eyes were fixed on the bottom of the coffin, and he trembled as he said, "Done, this is going to be a big deal
I turned around in confusion, and at this moment, I saw the soul lamp under the coffin. The light had turned blood red, glaring blood red.
