On the day I left school, I knocked all the relatives in the hospital to death

I know that in our industry, there are those who collect corpses, exorcise evil spirits, and suppress demons.

Naturally, there is no shortage of corpse hunters.

Just different from ordinary insiders.

People who fish for corpses usually appear in the Yellow River area, and are also known as "Yellow River water ghosts."

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water.

The Yellow River is so turbulent that countless people are buried in it every year.

Zhang Lingchuan said that the skills of those who fished out corpses were very high and could not be done by ordinary Taoist practitioners.

They live by the river all year round and are familiar with water properties. They can come and go freely in the turbulent Yellow River and bring out corpses trapped in the river.

Although they charge high fees, they are also working at their own risk.

Seeing the uncomfortable look on Old Man Wang's face, Zhang Lingchuan crossed his arms on his chest and asked him: "You are a coffin maker, how come you are related to someone who fishes out corpses?"

Old Man Wang was still stubborn: "In short, this is my only condition. If you can help me, do it. If you can't, just get out and don't bother me in the future!"

Zhang Lingchuan's eyes fell on him and he spoke calmly.

"I love money, but I also have the principle of not receiving it."

"I won't accept anything that is harmful to nature, won't accept anyone whose cause and effect are unclear, and won't accept anyone who has no money."

"Old man Wang, I want to ask for something from you, so this business is an exchange of conditions."

"But if you want to hide something from me, with my ability in the circle, Zhang Lingchuan, I may not be able to think of other ways!"

Old man Wang didn't expect that Zhang Lingchuan had such a tough temper, and was stunned for a moment.

Then he sighed deeply.

Then he put his hands behind his back and shook his head helplessly: "Don't worry, it's just a search for someone, there will be no cause and effect involved."

Old Man Wang said sadly: "The person I'm looking for to retrieve the body is none other than my son."

son?

Now it was our turn to be surprised.

Our small county town is thousands of miles away from the Yellow River, and all we make is life-threatening money.

I have never heard of any example of a Taoist master changing his profession to fish for corpses in the Yellow River.

Seeing that we didn't believe it, Old Man Wang mentioned a sad incident of his.

Mr. Wang's family has been making coffins for a living for generations.

The coffins he makes can help families settle down and maintain good feng shui, and they are also well-known in Liuzhou.

Many dignitaries came specially to visit him and spent a lot of money just to ask him to make a longevity gift with his own hands.

It stands to reason that Old Man Wang can make a living by relying on the craftsmanship of his ancestors. Even if he cannot become rich, he can at least have enough food and clothing.

As Old Man Wang spoke, his eyes became moist again.

"Back then, my family was harmonious and my wife gave birth to a son and a daughter. I thought my life was complete. But who would have thought that because I adhered to the rules of my ancestors, my family was in shambles!"

That was more than ten years ago.

One night, Old Man Wang heard a rapid knock on the door.

"Master Wang—Master Wang—"

A woman's urgent voice sounded like she was urging someone to die.

In addition, Old Man Wang was woken up by someone in the middle of the night. He was a little irritated by the noise, so he yelled a few words.

"What kind of soul is this in the middle of the night? I want to buy a coffin and come tomorrow."

But the woman just kept crying and had no intention of leaving.

Finally, Old Man Wang opened the door a crack and took a look outside.

The woman looked about fifty years old, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Seeing Old Man Wang open the door, he stood up quickly and took out a few crumpled bills from his body.

"Master Wang, I would like to order a coffin."

Speaking of this, Old Man Wang sighed: "At first, I thought she was preparing for her death, so I opened the door and let her in."

"Who knew she-"

I listened with rapt attention and quickly asked Old Man Wang: "What's wrong with her?"

"Who knew she wanted to order a coffin for her daughter who died violently?"

In the yin and yang industry, there is a rule for coffin masters, which is "the master will not do anything that falls to the ground."

This sentence means that the craftsmen who make coffins do not make coffins for the dead.

In other words, a person must find a coffin maker to make a custom-made coffin while he is still alive.

The old woman's behavior obviously did not comply with the rules of this industry.

After hearing this, Old Man Wang simply and decisively rejected the woman's request.

Unexpectedly, she fell to her knees with a plop and cried miserably.

"Master Wang, just take pity on my daughter and let her go in peace, please!"

This voice attracted Old Man Wang's wife and children. Although his wife felt sorry for the woman, she also knew that the most important thing in this industry was the rules.

Old Man Wang said to her: "Get up, our profession has its own rules."

"If you break the rules and offend the Patriarch, there will be disaster."

Unexpectedly, it was this sentence that angered the woman.

After hearing this, she looked at Old Man Wang and his family with grief and anger.

"When my daughter died so tragically, none of you were willing to help."

"Now, I just want her to leave with dignity, so what rules are you using to pressure me."

"There is no justice in this world! You all bullied us orphans and widowed mothers, and I want to make all of you pay the price!"

I frowned unconsciously.

In fact, I understand that we are not allowed to make coffins for people who have died unexpectedly, because the corpse died with resentment and will definitely turn into a demon after death.

If she didn't resolve her resentment, she would just put the body into the coffin.

In the event of a corpse transformation, the first person the corpse will seek trouble with is the coffin maker.

Although Old Man Wang's approach was unreasonable, it was also in line with the rules.

But he was already in tears: "If I had known that my wife and children would be killed because of this incident, I would have made a coffin for her even if it cost me my own life."

The woman was actually a local street sweeper.

It is difficult for her to have enough food and clothing for three meals a day, and she cannot afford to send her daughter to college.

"It was only later that I heard that her daughter worked several jobs just to support herself in college. Who knew that one night, when she was getting off work, she was hit by a Ferrari."

Speaking of this, Old Man Wang showed a look of pain on his face: "There are rumors that the girl still had one breath left at that time. But..."

I asked him: "But what?"

"Four drunk men got out of the Ferrari. They saw the girl was beautiful and became lustful!"

Knocked someone into a half-dead state and still did that kind of beastly thing?

Zhang Lingchuan was so angry that he slapped the coffin lid with his palm: "Those people deserve to die!"

In the end, the girl died naked on the road, but the surveillance along that stretch of road was accidentally broken.

The murderer escaped, and the girl died in such a tragic manner that her mother fainted from tears.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

At this time, Old Man Wang's mood had also collapsed.

"If I had known about this earlier, I would have made a coffin for the girl and sent her on her way."

Old Man Wang cried for a while, and after his mood calmed down a little, he told us what happened next.

It turned out that after the woman suffered a severe blow, she returned home wearing a red dress, holding her daughter's body and hanging herself together.

Just three days later.

Mr. Wang's wife was run over by an out-of-control car in front of her shop and died on the spot!
