Chapter 6: The Calligraphy of Yinshu

These are the paranormal files and various materials from different regions; in the future, you can come here to view these items, all of which are open to you. Professor Song said with a smile: "Except for that cabinet..."

"Because these are family traditions, but I am only practicing it as calligraphy. However, this profession also involves dealing with corpses and funerals, which is why I came to study funeral science." Liu Yuwei smiled and said, "So, Professor Song, what do you think..."

Liu Yuwei, with a mournful expression, looked at the large meatball and said: "Alright... Senior Lei, please take me there."

Old Song looked on with great curiosity, while Lei Heng hurried over to take a look as well. Only the indifferent Leng Zhuan merely turned his head, seemingly uninterested.

"Good! I grant you admission!" Old Song immediately nodded

Perhaps you will know in the future. Zhang Heng, is your family part of the Zhang family known for controlling corpses?

At 6 PM, the sky is not completely dark yet, but it has already become very dim. Although there are quite a few streetlights in the building, it still appears to be shrouded in a gray haze everywhere, which is quite uncomfortable

The young lady is in a temper

This office is filled with tall glass cabinets, which appear to contain numerous folders. Each folder represents a specific year, with the earliest date surprisingly being 1950, the year of the founding of the nation

"So that's how it is. Your calligraphy is quite good. Can you write a few pieces of Yin writing?" Old Song immediately asked

What? My jaw is about to drop, did I lose a bet?

Our profession has always been one with a sparse population. Of course, the funeral profession is not merely about providing morticians for crematoriums or applying makeup to corpses. Our field is inherently unique. Now that Zhang Heng and Liu Yuwei have joined our profession today, I would like to share some insights that only those in our field would know. You two newcomers should pay close attention.

Soon, Liu Yuwei neatly finished writing something, but I could not understand a single word of it

Well... we specialize in installing those that may undergo a zombie transformation..." Professor Song said with a smile

Liu Yuwei originally wanted to pull me along, and I smiled and said to her, "You really need to think carefully about whether or not to drop out, truly."

"No... it's nothing, it's just that I have never seen a corpse transformation, so... I'm a bit nervous... will there be a corpse transformation down there?" Liu Yuwei pointed to the ground with a pale face.

Believe it or not, it is just like this

I then followed Professor Song out.

Classmate Liu Yuwei, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Would you like me to take you to the cafeteria? If you think the cafeteria is not good, I know a very nice stir-fry shop nearby

First of all, welcome to Zhang Heng for studying in our major. Then I would like to ask Liu Yuwei, are you really prepared to continue studying in this major?

After speaking, Lao Song directly left the electronic classroom

Yinshu is something similar to talismans, which I have heard of before; however, my family has not practiced this. I did not expect that the girl who lost the bet actually has such a family background.

Zhang Heng. Liu Yuwei looked at me, thought for a moment, and said: "I came to study this major... it was not my original intention, but I do have reasons to be here. You... I know you seem to have a lot of ability in this area, could you help me more? Especially with Professor Song..."

It is already nearly six o'clock, and I am preparing to go to the first floor's electronic classroom for a meeting as per Professor Song's request at m.hetushu.com

Having listened to my words, Liu Yuwei herself understood that I had her best interests at heart. After a moment of struggle, she finally managed to voice it.

After walking several dozen meters down the corridor, Professor Song led me into an office

First of all, we are responsible for handling some particularly special corpses, such as the girl from today. Additionally, there are some other special corpses, such as ancient remains and those showing signs of decomposition

"Then at least tell me, why are you so determined to study this major?" I said, folding my arms. "Firstly, when I was looking for schools, I noticed that your sense of direction is quite poor, and your fear of corpses is something that many ordinary girls possess. However, judging by your physique, you should be someone skilled in martial arts, so I really don't understand what your true identity is. But I hope you understand: this major is likely far more complex than just funeral studies. If you are truly prepared to pursue this major, you must also be ready to face many dangers." But I hope you understand: this major is likely far more complex than just funeral studies. If you are truly prepared to pursue this major, you must also be ready to face many dangers.

Do you know? I am not very surprised, I asked calmly

When I came here, my grandfather once told me that choosing this funeral science would require a bit of courage. At that time, I felt that this field was probably not just a simple discipline, and now it seems that this is indeed the case

Wait a moment! I made a gesture to pause: Is it just because of a bet?

Having completed the admission process, Old Song stood on the podium, looking at the four of us

As for her being a descendant of Liu Gongquan, I have no particular opinion: it is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of Liu Gongquan's descendants in the country, so encountering one is quite normal. I just did not expect that Liu Gongquan himself had also pondered over such matters.

That's how it is... I was originally prepared to go to the United States to study, but I ended up losing a bet with my best friend, so I had no choice but to come here to study for four years... because I spoke too confidently... " Liu Yuwei said shyly

The beautiful woman seeks help, and of course, I cannot stand by idly. However, I still feel that Liu Yuwei is hiding many things from me, which is not good.

"You shut your mouth!" Professor Song glared at him fiercely, and Lei Hong immediately dared not to speak again

Is your family perhaps a descendant of Liu Gongquan

"Writing five articles is quite good!" Old Song remarked with appreciation

"Is this ... ... a shadow book?" Old Song said with wide eyes

Alright, everyone take a break for today. Zhang Heng, please come here with me.

Indeed! Don't you believe it?" Liu Yuwei said with a bitter smile

I checked your college entrance examination scores; you can attend any school you wish in the country. Many good foreign universities will likely also send you admission letters. Why do you want to study here? Now, I need you to give me a reason

Then, we must also cooperate with the work of the archaeological team and others to address incidents caused by corpse transformations; this is the true reason for the establishment of our profession

Liu Yuwei suddenly felt a bit dazed; the tall and thin Leng Shuan had shown almost no change in his demeanor since I entered the multimedia classroom, as if everything happening around him was completely unrelated to him. Meanwhile, on the other side, Lei Heng became anxious.

Following the corridor, we arrived at the multimedia classroom, where Old Song and the others had already arrived

I took a deep breath

Liu Yuwei stood up and nodded firmly: "I am willing!"

After speaking, Liu Yuwei took out a piece of paper from her small bag and began to write with a fountain pen she carried with her

"The Ten Yama Kings' Decree, this was the first piece I learned when I was young," Liu Yuwei said with a smile

What kind of files are those? I won't be polite, I'll ask directly

She was wearing a hat made of paper, and it was evident that she had tidied up her room. Upon seeing me, her face appeared somewhat pale: "How is it on your side? Over here, there is dust and cobwebs everywhere, it's exhausting me."

Those characters look very strange: some are large and some are small, each character is written in a continuous stroke: from beginning to end, the pen moves without stopping in between, which looks extremely odd

I do not wish for anyone to come here to study for reasons such as seeking stimulation or anything else! You must now give me a reason for attending: do not tell me that you like this major, as I will not believe it!

Lei Heng and Leng Shuan were sitting inside, having changed into ordinary clothing. Upon seeing Liu Yuwei enter, Lei Heng immediately stood up and excitedly called out: "Junior Sister Yuwei! Sit over here!"

Professor Song, it is certain that Liu is drawn to our country's funeral industry due to an infinite admiration, and also because of the predominance of yang over yin in our field... No, that is incorrect! It should be the predominance of yin over yin! Therefore, we need to adjust the gender balance in our profession.

In fact, the reason I chose to study this major is... because I lost a bet...

"Alright, alright! Let's go!" Lei Heng laughed, his flesh quivering with sweat...

Professor Song, I truly wish to pursue this field of study. You may find it somewhat strange, but our family, the Liu family, is not unfamiliar with this area.

"Corpse transformation?" Liu Yuwei said with a pale face

Isn't this turning too fast? I wondered.

I followed Professor Song's hand to look over: it was a safe, which appeared to have a thermometer and a hygrometer on the outside, likely a temperature-controlled safe, partially embedded in the wall

"It's about time, let's go, we have a meeting to attend," I said with a smile.

It is merely a collateral relationship," Liu Yuwei said with a smile

I patted Liu Yuwei on the back, and she finally did not jump up

The entire classroom for electronic education is not large, but it has more than 30 seats. Liu Yuwei naturally would not sit next to him, but instead found a spot nearby to sit down.

I have a complete file on your family's matters here. Initially, I was quite fond of the idea of your family being able to teach in this position, but your family has never acknowledged me, and I am powerless in that regard. This year, when I saw your file, I was still hesitant to believe it, but today, after witnessing your methods of handling corpses, I have come to realize: you are indeed a member of the Zhang family

Liu Yuwei's complexion turned pale: more than 100 corpses underground, and there is still a possibility of corpse transformation; this is simply living on a volcano!

At present, I am able to write the first five scripts: "The Ten Yama Kings' Order," "The Ksitigarbha's Soul Summoning Order," "The Heavenly Thunder and Earth Binding Order," "The Soul Expelling and Spirit Dispersing Order," and "The House Suppressing and Ghost Tranquilizing Order." I have not yet learned the subsequent ones because... because there is simply no time.

As I stepped out of my 105, I glanced over at 107, where Liu Yuwei also emerged.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Old Song tapped on the table

"Alright, do as you wish..." I said, speechless: "Let's go, we should head to the meeting first"

"Indeed, you can draw shadowy writings, yet you are unaware of the transformation of corpses?" Professor Song asked with a furrowed brow

Do you think I would believe it

I can now confirm that this young lady is purely using these items as practice sheets for writing, completely unaware of the meanings of these characters
