  The village office of Zhuangyuan Village was very stylish a few years ago, and even now, the three-story building with mosaics is still quite majestic. The outside of the building has a high wall with broken glass inserted all over it, which was used to prevent theft at that time.

  There was a pair of iron gates, which had long been rusty, with a hanging lock on the gate. The stone found a stick and used force to pry it open. The grass in the yard was as tall as half a person, and the few door plaques hanging on the wall had lost their usual luster. In the dim light of night, not a single spark of life could be seen.

  "What brings you here?"

  "Do you still remember where the village secretary's office is?"

  Fatso pointed to the dark corridor: "It should be on the third floor, I forgot which room specifically, just open each one and you'll find what you're looking for."

  "A photo!"

  What's going on? After Fatty recovered some strength, he followed Black Whirlwind Li Kui's style, one foot per door, and went in to rummage through the boxes.

  "Found it!" Cha Wenbin fanned away the thick dust on a frame lying on the ground, wiped off the dust on the glass, and under the flickering light of the fire starter, he carefully searched. It was still a black-and-white group photo, with a man wearing sunglasses in the third row from the left, with round lenses. The inscription at the bottom of the photo read: "March 1980, Shuangyuan Village Coal Mine Opening Ceremony".

  "It's him! I just wanted to prove once again that I wasn't wrong when I saw this photo back then. Ye Huan, it must be him!"

  It was still in the Northeast, at Wild Man Village, that Cha Wenbin first saw him. From then on, Cha Wenbin seemed to be plagued by bad luck, and every time the man with the black sunglasses appeared, it was in some strange setting. This person, Cha Wenbin knew but didn't understand, his master Ma Suifeng only told him that he was a nightmare, don't easily open it.

  Cha Wenbin was an obedient disciple, and if possible, he would rather not touch this taboo guy for his whole life. Indeed, he might have that ability, some strange skills were enough to make these fledglings suffer from inexplicable blows. Those who practiced ghostly ways were few and far between, and those who understood ghostly ways were even more rare. Don't think that ghostly ways are just legends, since the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Chi You was a practitioner of ghostly ways, and later there were also famous ancestors of the Zhang family for three generations.

  Speaking of Taoism, one person must be mentioned: Zhang Lu.

  Who is Zhang Lu? The grandson of the famous Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, and the first to clearly record the cultivation method of Guǐ Dào in historical books is the "Book of Later Han". It is written: "Zhang Heng's wife 'initially used Guǐ Dào', 'also used Guǐ Dào', 'used Guǐ Dào to gain trust from Liu Yan, the governor of Yi Province'." The "Records of the Three Kingdoms - Book of Wei - Biography of Zhang Lu" also records: "Lu occupied Hanzhong, taught the people with Guǐ Dào, and called himself 'Shī Jūn'." Another chapter, "Records of the Three Kingdoms - Book of Wei - Biography of Dongyi", writes: "The Wa country was in chaos, fighting and attacking each other for years, then they jointly established a woman as their queen, named Himiko, who practiced Guǐ Dào, able to deceive the masses."

  Where is the Eastern Yi? It's present-day Japan, also known as Wa State in ancient times. This woman named "Bi" became a self-proclaimed queen during the era of war and chaos, practicing witchcraft.

  Later, roughly during the Tang Dynasty, there were some rumors about Guǐ Dào. Afterwards, this evil art gradually disappeared and didn't reappear until the Qing Dynasty, with records as evidence:

  "Qing Zhao's 'Notes from the Xiao Ting Pavilion - Xu Zhongcheng': 'He deeply regretted using demonic teachings, and yet all the officials in the court had seen and heard things that could not be concealed.'"

  This is the last time this religion appeared in Chinese historical records, and for the next hundred years, the Ghost Way never appeared again. This synthesis of Taoist yin-yang magic and southwestern shamanism was viewed as an evil cult due to its poisonous practice methods, including the profession of onmyodo still existing in Japan today, which originated from China's Ghost Way.

  Cha Wenbin firmly believed that the creator of this magic was not Zhang Lu, although he was the most famous one. The Ghost Path should have originated from the Tian Shi Dao, and it is highly likely that it was created by Tian Shi Zhang Daoling, but due to its toxicity, it was considered an evil art. Unexpectedly, after another hundred years, the Ghost Path reappeared in the world, and Ye Huan, this talented genius, actually learned the Ghost Path...

  Apart from this photo, nothing else. Facing such a person, Ma Su's sentence "The farther away he is, the better" has been lingering in Cha Wenbin's mind all the time.

  When you have to face it, what's the use of escaping?

  Many things in the world are not as one wishes, human calculations are not as good as heavenly ones. Ye Huan, a dead man living in a dark world, is destined to have some dealings with him.

  There is a temple of the land god in the west of the village, where the land god and his wife are worshipped. The two clay statues are draped with red silk. When passing by, Cha Wenbin also went to burn incense, he was not a devout believer, but at that moment his heart needed to get some comfort.

  The ancestral hall was still the same, those who should leave had left, and it felt especially empty tonight. The coffins were lined up row after row, layer upon layer, Zha Wenbin glanced at the compass in his hand, the needle didn't move a single thread, it was too quiet, quietly terrifying.

  "Pry it open."

  Fatso had a crowbar in his hand, and with a fierce thrust, he poked it into the coffin board. With a loud "creak", followed by a dull "thud", the long-combined coffin seemed to be vacuum-sealed. Fatso did this job quickly, his hands were not unfamiliar, after glancing inside, the little guy slapped his chest and took a step back, saying: "Scared your grandfather to death..."

  "Don't come over here, I'm afraid you'll get nauseated! They're all decomposed and completely dead."

  Cha Wenbin still went, took a peek, and indeed, there was a corpse in the coffin, and even when the coffin was opened, no stench could be smelled. The surface of the corpse had a layer of yellowish scum similar to soap wrapping around it, which was actually the fat inside the corpse seeping out after death and slowly solidifying. Cha Wenbin also wanted to turn his head away, but when he turned back, he suddenly felt that something was off!

  "Fatty, this corpse doesn't even have a quilt to cover it, not even a fragment left behind, just a bare skeleton. How is it that Zhou Ziyuan's coffin doesn't even have half of the burial goods?"

  The two of them exchanged a glance and then cautiously approached again. This fat guy had done some dirty work before, so naturally, Cha Wenbin wouldn't be afraid of dead bodies either. The fat guy took the lead and used his hand to scrape off a layer, and as soon as he touched that "shell", he felt it was slippery, not as solid as it looked on the surface.

  Fatso took off his clothes and prepared to wrap them around his hands. He didn't mind pulling out the contents to take a look: "I feel like this corpse isn't lying on its back, but is face down instead. Do you want me to pull it out?"

  Cha Wenbin turned his head and glanced at the village under the mountain, Pangzi understood what he meant, and said: "You've already smashed two coffins, you don't care about whipping corpses, anyway, if someone finds out it was you who did it, the consequences will be the same!"

  "Whatever...". Zhang Wenbin turned his head away, in his heart, even if Zhou Ziyuan had set all sorts of taboos, he was still a senior, as long as he didn't do anything strange or hurt anyone, it would be fine, just burning this place down with one move, that kind of rough action wasn't what he wanted.

  The fat man who got the order seemed as if he had never disappeared, no matter what the situation was, his fondness for corpses was always so strong...

  He gently inserted his hands into the corpse's neck, wrapped a circle of clothes around it, and then turned himself over to carry it on his back. This was what that group of local masters taught him when he was in Xi'an. When burying the dead, they always lay face up, and by carrying the body with its back against his own, he could prevent being attacked from the front if something unexpected happened to the corpse. But Fatso was careless - this was also an occupational disease of his - he had forgotten the feeling from just now: the corpse was lying prone!

  When the fatty felt someone hugging him, he indeed made a subconscious reaction, quickly letting go and jumping high like a startled wild horse. "Whoosh" - his movement was too loud, and the wax shell instantly cracked into countless fine cracks. Cha Wenbin turned his head to look, this guy, the flesh underneath was still fresh, hadn't the corpse rotted?

  "What the hell is this?" The fatty jumped down and immediately stabilized, he also seemed to have noticed that the eyes, nose, and mouth of the corpse were all fleshy and still moving, no matter how you looked at it, it felt like there was a living person inside!

  "Damn it, Autumn, I told you so, it's really him, Old Man Cha!" The fatty immediately pounced over, and after peeling off those greasy wax layers, inside was indeed a completely naked body. Who else could it be but Ye Qiu? Only now Ye Qiu's "excavated" state was much worse than the fatty's, except for his eyes which could still blink a few times, he had no reaction at all. Heaven knows how long he'd been locked in there.

  This is good, two big living people just came out like this, one was born inexplicably, and the other was treated as a wax pill, but both left a hand. Ye Qiu's whole body was sealed, leaving only a mouth for breathing, indicating that he wanted to leave a way out. Cha Wenbin looked into the coffin again and saw a black entrance on the floor of the coffin, which should be facing Ye Qiu's face.

  While replacing Ye Qiu's wax, Pangzi unexpectedly found a letter in Ye Qiu's abdominal area, which was wrapped in the middle of the wax layer.

  "In three days, we will be at the top of Lion's Peak"

  Fat boy saw Cha Wenbin holding the letter and still peeking under the coffin: "Damn, Old Cha, I think Autumn is not going to make it, should we hurry up and send him to the hospital? His face has already turned purple."

  At this moment, Cha Wenbin had no choice. One of the Cheng brothers was missing and the other one was also gone. The whole thing was suspicious and it seemed that they would have to wait for the owner of this letter to explain everything. Cha Wenbin thought to himself, since he didn't harm Pangzi and Ye Qiu, but instead kept helping them, it seemed that Ye Huan didn't have any intention of harming people. If Cheng girl was taken away by him, there shouldn't be much danger. So for now, rescuing her should be the priority.

  After restoring the scene, Cha Wenbin also locked the gate of the ancestral hall. The worship of ancestors has a rule, only on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar calendar. Today's worship is just over, at least no one will come here for half a month. So he took Pangzi and Ye Qiu to rush out overnight, and it wasn't until dawn that they found a car to send them to the hospital...
