Chapter 10: Ghosts from Three Thousand Years Ago

Shi Ren added the final sentence, and Li Dexuan and his son left, going to sleep in the room next door on the left.

Shi Ren took the dominoes that Li Dexuan had brought out from the studio and, upon examining them, could not help but feel moved. Uncle Xuan mentioned that the creature depicted on them was an unknown being, which in fact was a ghost, a hungry ghost. In the hierarchy of existence—heaven, human, asura, animal, hungry ghost, and hell—the realm of hungry ghosts ranks fifth, just one level above hell.

Li Dexuan, A Kuan, Yang Mingguang, Sister Guang, and several others in the room looked at each other, feeling quite bewildered. For them, the crematorium dealt with the deceased every day, and strange occurrences had become commonplace.

Shi Ren did not expect to encounter such a difficult problem immediately upon returning home after his apprenticeship. He wanted to call his master but was afraid of being laughed at. "Forget it, old man, let them laugh. When a life is at stake, a little laughter doesn't matter."

Li Dexuan was very surprised when he saw Shi Ren react to this clue. Which worker at the crematorium does not come into contact with the bones of the deceased every day? What is so strange about this unclaimed skeleton?

A night without words

A Kuan did not know why Shi Ren asked him to stay, and suddenly hearing Shi Ren ask him like that made his face turn red. "Brother, is there something you need?"

Well, Mr. Shi. After our extensive investigation, reviewing historical materials, and conducting instrumental analysis, our team of researchers has unanimously determined that the approximate period of this object is the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods

When Shi Ren walked out of the museum, he was filled with the question from the beautiful Yang Zi Han, not because he did not want to answer, but because Shi Ren simply did not hear it

However..." Li Dexuan took a deep drag on his cigarette and continued, "During those three days, the only thing we did was incinerate an unclaimed skeleton sent over by the municipal construction site and the library.

Shi Ren understood everything upon seeing this object. This side of the bone tablet was not left by the deceased, but rather by those who buried the deceased. Its purpose is to seal the soul and restrain the spirit, ensuring that the deceased can never be reborn.

The hungry ghost has a small mouth, a large belly, and is gluttonous yet never satisfied, perpetually in want of food. The spirit of the deceased is tormented daily by this gnawing hunger. If there is no deep-seated hatred towards the deceased, it is because the deceased was a great villain during their lifetime, and after death, people loathe them intensely, ensuring that they are condemned to never be reborn and to never again bring harm to the world.

"Yes, beautiful! I have a domino and would like you to help me determine its specific era," Shi Ren replied calmly to the inquiry of the beautiful scholar.

It appears that a careless construction by the municipal authorities has disturbed this ancient tomb, releasing the vengeful spirit imprisoned within the deceased's coffin. After many years of unrest, this spirit, likely filled with immense resentment, is both brutal and cold. Its cultivation has at least reached the level of a ghost general

"Brother Kuan, I would like to ask you and Uncle Xuan for a favor. Please prepare seven men who are still virgins for me tomorrow; I have a use for them." This is the reason why Shi Ren wanted A Kuan to stay.

I want to find an appraisal expert at the museum, as I have an item I would like the expert to examine. As soon as dawn broke, Shi Ren hurried to the Xiangyang Museum, as the situation was urgent and he did not want to waste a moment.

The situation is as follows. The road on Xiangzhou Road is undergoing expansion, and during the construction process, the municipal construction unit's bulldozer unearthed an ancient tomb. It is unknown which dynasty it belongs to, as nothing else was found at the site apart from a broken coffin. Therefore, the municipal unit did not report it to the municipal cultural relics bureau. They simply packed up the skeleton and sent it to us for cremation. It is unknown which dynasty it belongs to, as nothing else was found at the site apart from a broken coffin.

"After the cremation, who among you scattered the ashes, and where were they scattered?"

It is possible to go to schools, primarily focusing on middle and high school. Very few students believe in the existence of ghosts and deities. You could create a story; they might find it interesting and be very willing to participate.

Through the introduction, everyone knows each other's names. The beautiful woman is named Yang Zihan, twenty-four years old, a graduate of Peking University with a major in archaeology. Less than six months after graduation, she was recruited by the Xiangyang Cultural Relics Bureau to work as a researcher at the museum. She is truly a talented and beautiful woman. However, Shi Ren is currently not in the mood to appreciate these things. The duration of this domino piece determines the time of the deceased, which means the duration of the soul's imprisonment.

Speak in more detail, as it may just be the clue to the event

Shi Ren waited in the reception hall for about five minutes when a girl around twenty-four or twenty-five years old approached him. She was of similar age to Shi Ren, tall and with a sunny disposition. Her curly hair and the demeanor cultivated from years of working with cultural relics lent her an air of classical elegance.

Shi Ren made a phone call and chatted with the master for over half an hour, thoroughly explaining the situation here to a Daoist priest. After that, the priest offered him advice and strategies. It was only after about half an hour that Shi Ren finally let out a sigh of relief, having found a solution to the problem and feeling more relaxed.

"Nonsense, the death of a person is of utmost importance, and burial brings peace. How could you do this? At the very least, you should have taken it further away and then dug a pit to bury it properly," Shi Ren exclaimed upon hearing A Kuan's response. He could not help but scold. This matter was handled far too irresponsibly, and Shi Ren sensed that this incident was likely directly related to A Kuan's casual scattering of the ashes.

Shi Ren let out a sigh, glanced at the seven or eight people in the room, and then said: "Uncle Xuan, were there no useful clues left behind when you conducted the cremation?"

What? Does that mean it has been around for approximately three thousand years

It is still Li Dexuan who speaks this sentence, and he has almost become the spokesperson. With his advanced age and rich experience, he is the only one who has a relatively thorough understanding of the essence of the event

"I scattered it; I just scattered it in the open space behind our crematorium, letting it drift away with the wind," said A Kuan.

When Shi Ren heard such a temporal datum, he could not help but jump up from the sofa. The shock of three thousand years was truly overwhelming for Shi Ren. If it really is three thousand years, then to what level has this evil spirit's magical cultivation reached? This outcome completely exceeded Shi Ren's expectations

"It is easy to find a man, but I am afraid that he may not be willing to work." This was what Uncle Xuan said. Akwan is the son of Li Dexuan. Since Akwan is asked to stay, it is only natural for Uncle Xuan to stay as well.

Oh, that's not right. I remember my father telling me that after I took a three-day leave, Ding Wei mysteriously died. This means that the clues must lie within the three days between my departure and Ding Wei's death. Everyone, think carefully: was there anything unusual that happened during those three days? The more bizarre, the better, because the mastermind behind supernatural events can never be viewed through conventional means. " Shi Ren suddenly recalled the time of Ding Wei's death, unraveling the situation layer by layer, and things became increasingly clear.

The more bizarre, the better, because the mastermind behind supernatural events can never be viewed through conventional means.

This is Shi Ren's final evaluation of the evil spirit, and since the others in the room cannot understand, they are even less aware of its level of danger

When Shi Ren returned home, it was already 2 PM. He did not go back to the crematorium, as he had already given it a day off; there was no point in going back. Regarding this day off, the stationmaster had even called Shi Ren to discuss it, accusing him of being reckless. Just as the stationmaster was about to finish his sentence, Shi Ren abruptly hung up the phone with a "bang".

Li Dexuan and his son found Shi Ren's method feasible. Now, there was no other option; they might as well treat a dead horse as if it were alive. If they did not address the most pressing issue at hand, everyone would be facing life-threatening dangers. Resigning from their jobs would lead to unemployment, and with over ten mouths to feed, they all had family responsibilities.

In this case, Uncle Xuan, you and the others should allocate yourselves accordingly. Everyone should stay in the rooms adjacent to mine tonight, so that if anything happens, I can assist you more swiftly. The situation is urgent, and extraordinary measures must be taken in extraordinary times

We have been working at the crematorium these past few days, feeling a sense of returning home. If there have been any strange occurrences during this time, there truly have not been any

"How about this, each of you now report to me everything you did during the month I was away, and let's see if we can find any clues." At this moment, Shi Ren's words had a certain commanding power over everyone, especially the nine-character incantation he had just recited, which had dispelled the sudden blackout in the room. This undoubtedly made everyone believe that Shi Ren had truly learned the skills of exorcising demons and capturing ghosts during this trip. Therefore, everyone was very convinced by his words, particularly due to the earlier recitation of the nine-character incantation that had resolved the blackout situation.

Brother Kuan, tell me, you should still be a virgin, right?

After Shi Ren finished listening to the introduction by Li Dexuan and his son, he could be certain that the issue must lie with this set of remains

The duration of the confinement of the yin spirit, Shi Rencai www.hetushu.com will know approximately the level of the evil spirit's magical abilities. Targeted measures and a steady approach are the right path, especially since Shi Ren has only mastered about 30 to 40 percent of his master's skills. Although he has been granted magical power, he is largely unfamiliar with basic techniques and spells, which is why Shi Rencai is particularly cautious. He first assesses his own capabilities, as he does not wish to inadvertently lose his life.

Shi Ren did not originally want to reveal this to frighten everyone, but since Li Dexuan asked on behalf of everyone, he felt that if he did not speak up, it would only lead to greater distress in the event of future dangers. "Yes, this matter may be somewhat complicated and dangerous. For now, we will stay here for the night. After dawn, everyone will be given a holiday to return home. I will resolve the situation here and will inform everyone once it is settled."

Remember to try to find those born in the Year of the Dragon among the seven people

"Xiao Shiren, please speak honestly, is this matter very serious? Your expression already indicates that the situation is quite dangerous," Li Dexuan inquired, addressing the concerns of everyone present.

Yes, I opened the box containing the bones and found a bone tile carved from the bone of an unknown animal. It depicted a very fierce creature of some sort. I still have this item in the studio at the crematorium; I noticed that no one recognized it, so I left it there to play with.

Shi Ren smiled and said: "From the moment you were able to see the ghostly spirits outside the window, I knew. Why is it that others cannot see them, but you can? Apart from those born in the yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin hour, there is also a man who is still a virgin. He can see them because he possesses a strong yang energy, which belongs to the dragon's vital energy, and thus can perceive the ghostly spirits."

Hello, may I ask if you need to conduct an appraisal
