Chapter 0003: The Winding Path of the Heart

With a sharp scream, Qin Yang felt a blur before his eyes, and the next moment, he found himself inexplicably lying in a cramped space

Suddenly, Qin Yang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth; this "Nine Curves and Ten Turns" was one of the items mentioned in the previously published book "Eighteen Famous Artifacts"

This woman is no different from a living person; it is evident without a doubt that she is definitely a ghost soldier that surpasses the level of a ghostly servant, equivalent to a foundation-building cultivator

Qin Yang felt a twitch at the corner of his eye and thought to himself that this deal would not be easy to handle

As the wedding procession returned, standing in the center was an old ghost dressed in official attire, who gestured with cupped hands to the surrounding crowd and then shouted loudly.

At the sound of that piercing scream, the spirits surrounding the table began to drink and feast on meat, while the eight bearers lifted the crimson coffin and floated towards the backyard.

In another two or three breaths, through the distant mist, ghostly figures began to emerge. A group of entities dressed in red, each holding a suona, sheng, or xiao, floated towards us. At first glance, it resembled a wedding procession, yet the music played conveyed not a hint of festivity, but was instead filled with a chilling sorrow.

Qin Yang stood still, fully aware that from the moment he heard the theatrical tones, there was no way to leave. Unless he dealt with the ghostly presence that had come, he would never be able to exit. Although this place was said to be the outskirts of the Yin Huai Ghost Tomb, once one entered, there was no turning back

When handling corpses and their remains, it is essential to ensure that the deceased are buried peacefully, allowing them to rest in peace. This guarantees that their affairs are taken care of, while also providing an opportunity to earn a modest income for oneself. This is the rule I have set for myself

Recalling the play he had just listened to, Qin Yang began to formulate some ideas in his mind

The corpses dealt with previously were not so troublesome; it was sufficient to find a place for burial. However, with these two clients, if they are buried carelessly, it is likely that they will be tracked down in a few days, or worse, they might be exhumed.

Moreover, this is the wedding procession. I have heard before that someone entered the realm of the Yin Huai Ghost Tomb and was taken away by the wedding procession, only to mysteriously appear in the surrounding mass grave, emaciated and with their vitality completely drained, ... only a breath remains ...

Before long, the procession advanced in a leisurely manner, as if the thin mist ahead was being parted by an unseen hand, dissipating with the wind. A classical-style manor stood prominently in front, featuring red bricks and green tiles, complete with pavilions and towers. In front of the manor, a grand archway, about six or seven zhang high, stood tall, inscribed with the three large characters "De Fei Tomb." As the procession entered through the archway, a sudden uproar ensued.

Yet in the surrounding thin mist, the originally faint ghostly figures are now nowhere to be seen. These spirits, whether or not they possess intelligence, have an instinctive ability to sense danger that is exceptionally strong, akin to that of wild beasts

Then, after just two or three breaths, the desolate singing was accompanied by the sounds of suona, gongs, drums, and sheng, all equally gloomy and eerie, causing the hairs on one's body to stand on end, as the concentration of negative energy in the air began to rise sharply

Inside, the place is adorned with lanterns and colorful decorations, red cloth covers the ground, and red silk hangs from the windows. In the courtyard, round tables covered with red cloth are arranged neatly, filled with guests seated at the tables, their laughter and congratulatory voices ringing in the air.

However, there are indeed drawbacks, just as is the case currently

Standing still, he watched as the ghostly band floated past him, not a single spirit glanced in his direction. However, when the wedding procession floated by, a ghostly figure holding a sign suddenly let out a loud scream.

However, when Qin Yang got up and looked, four big characters instantly appeared in his mind

They directly abandoned their original plans. Although these spirits appeared pale as paper and wore a stiff, eerie smile, at least they did not show signs of death. The ability to conceal their deathly appearance indicates that they are not ordinary souls... At the very least, they are among the more formidable ghost soldiers, comparable to cultivators who have reached at least the sixth level of Qi nurturing.

However, amidst this festive atmosphere, all the guests appeared pale as if coated in powder, their smiles seemingly frozen on their faces. In the center of the table stood an incense burner, surrounded by a circle of bloody heads of sacrificial animals. The wine cups were filled with water from the dark and ominous Yin Spring, as black as ink and thick with a sinister aura

In reminiscence of those years, General, before your departure you once said, when the camellias bloom abundantly, then you shall come to marry me, beneath the Three Immortals Mountain, I have been waiting in anguish...

At a glance, there are at least twenty ghost soldiers here; if we were to confront them head-on, we would certainly be unable to win

The music played in the front, while eight bearers in the back carried a large crimson coffin, floating behind them. Further back, there was a group similarly dressed in red, their faces pale, wearing stiff and eerie smiles, ... holding wooden boxes adorned with red flowers, lifting the crimson wooden chest, floating behind them...

Qin Yang stood still, holding a stick of incense, watching as these ghostly figures floated towards him without moving an inch

The woman has an almond-shaped face and rosy cheeks, with a smile that lights up her eyes. Her pair of round eyes is so watery that it seems as if they could drip at any moment. Her forehead is not wide, which makes her cheeks appear small. Coupled with her cherry-like lips, which are slightly upturned at the corners, and her slender waist and figure, she undeniably resembles a refined young lady from a prominent family

Only here, near Qinglin City, is the famous Yinhuai Ghost Cemetery, a place where nothing thrives, a paradise for spirits. In this burial site that has existed for at least several thousand years, it is the most suitable place to inter these two new clients. It is absolutely secure, and no one will find this place. Even those who dispose of bodies will definitely not come near here.

As for the origin of this skill book, it comes from an unexpected success in cultivating a technique by an old turtle...

Reaching out to touch, all directions are completely sealed off. Without needing to think, it is clear that I have been trapped inside that crimson coffin...

winding and intricate

From a distance, the performance of Qin Yang becomes increasingly clear, with the operatic tones resonating distinctly. The sounds of gongs, drums, and bamboo flutes blend seamlessly with the singing. If one were to listen solely to the sounds, one would undoubtedly believe that it was a renowned troupe of performers warming up their voices

The bride is returning home for the wedding visit

The strange theatrical voice floated in from a distance, initially faint like a mosquito, vague and indistinct, almost imperceptible. However, within just two or three breaths, it became clear and audible. The mournful voice of a woman, ... contained a deep-seated resentment akin to the sting of a needle, piercing through the scalp, penetrating the skull, and drilling into the mind ...

As for himself, he has merely cultivated his energy to the sixth level

Lying still in this position, Qin Yang could faintly hear the sounds of drums and gongs from outside, along with the continuous sounds of performances. After confirming this, he remained motionless, one hand resting on his storage bag, counting the items he had brought with him.

The auspicious time has arrived, and it is time to enter the bridal chamber

In the festive bridal chamber, after the vermilion coffin was placed down and the bearers withdrew, Qin Yang pushed the coffin lid, which easily opened. Upon stepping out, he saw that in the celebratory bridal chamber, on the large bed to the side, sat a woman clad in red.
