Chapter 5: The Seal is Opened

Li Xuan stood in front of the dilapidated and enclosed shrine, falling into a brief silence.

Grandma He believed the lies of the sorcerer Wu Tiancai and mistakenly thought that her youngest daughter, Dexin, was a jinx. Therefore, after Dexin died, she personally dismembered her body and buried it.

only……

Since it's already done, the burial place is just too outrageous.

The head was in a dry well in the backyard of the He family mansion, so it was reasonable to bury it with soil.
Clothes and combs were placed under the bed on the third floor, with photos underneath... It's barely reasonable, since it's our own home and no one else would come to check.

The body was hidden in a small niche by the roadside in the cemetery.

According to the timeline, when He Dexin died, He Shengxin's daughter Xiaoqi was only one year old.

Now that her daughter Xiaoqi is 17 years old, it's amazing that no one has ever been curious enough to open this little shrine by the roadside all these years...

Li Xuan stood in front of the small shrine and said, "He Dexin, I passed by this place and learned of your injustice. I have come today to help you clear your name. Please cooperate."

Although He Dexin turned into a vengeful ghost after his death.

Because he was suppressed after being dismembered, he was unable to harm anyone. However, after being released, he did not kill indiscriminately and remained kind-hearted. After killing the sorcerer Wu Tiancai, he was persuaded by the young man Azhi and gave up killing.

This is also why Li Xuan dared to come here.

After saying this, he stepped forward, tore open the talisman, and opened the small door, revealing a jar with talisman paper pasted on it in a crisscross pattern.

A chilling aura burst through the already tattered talisman paper, causing Li Xuan to stumble back several steps. No one could be seen in the wind, but a voice could be faintly heard speaking: "Under the bed on the third floor of the Western-style building... go there."

He Dexin has broken through the seal.

Li Xuan didn't sense any malice and thought to himself, "This little girl is really kind."

However, the ghosts in this world don't seem to be afraid of sunlight; they can still move around normally even now, which is close to noon...

During the Qingming Festival, more and more people are going up the mountain to pay respects to their ancestors.

Li Xuan saw two figures coming from the mountain path. Coincidentally, it was Grandma He and her granddaughter Xiaoqi.

In the movie, after Xiaoqi's mother, He Shengxin, dies, her spirit lives with her daughter, completely unaware of her own death...

However, Li Xuan did not have the ability to see ghosts and could not see He Shengxin's presence.

He closed the shrine again, tidied up the broken talisman paper, and walked nonchalantly down the mountain.

Grandma He and her grandson brushed past him.

She suddenly felt a chill run through her body, and her heart pounded, as if she were in the middle of nowhere, being watched by wolves and tigers...

strange!
He was just an ordinary young man.

Grandma He swayed a few times and collapsed to the ground, her face deathly pale, almost frighteningly so. Her granddaughter, Xiaoqi, rushed over to help her up, asking with concern, "Grandma, what's wrong?"

"fine……"

She stared at the young man's retreating figure, her heart still pounding—a feeling she had never experienced before…

Why do I feel like a catastrophe is about to befall us when I see this person? Is he, like the youngest daughter He Dexin, a jinx that brings misfortune to the He family?
Thinking of He Dexin.

Grandma He had a bad feeling; the young man from earlier seemed to have come from the direction where He Dexin had sealed the remains...

I need to go check it out!
Just then, Xiaoqi said, "Grandma, let's hurry up and go pay our respects to Grandpa. I have to go back to school this afternoon."

Grandma He suppressed her unease and nodded, saying, "Grandma understands, hurry up and go."

She planned to visit the place where He Dexin was sealed after she finished paying respects at the grave.

It's not very convenient now that Xiaoqi is with me.

……

After descending the mountain, Li Xuan hailed a taxi and went directly to the location of the He family's villa.

Even during the day, this mansion exudes a gloomy and chilly atmosphere.

He picked up a stone from the ground, walked over, and smashed the padlock on it. He went inside, went up the stairs, and sure enough, there was a door blocking the way to the third floor, just like in the movies.

The stone smashed the old wooden planks, breaking them off piece by piece.

The door opened.

Following the eerie wind, Li Xuan arrived at an old room with a dressing table, an old bed, and a dusty floor...

He lay down and found an identical urn under the bed. He took it out, and there was a photo of He Dexin under the urn.

Wow!

Smash the urn!

A red comb fell out from inside, along with some grayish-white powder.

The eerie wind swept through the room, becoming exceptionally strong. The dust, which hadn't been cleaned in a long time, made Li Xuan cough repeatedly: "Seriously, is the first thing you did after escaping this situation to make me eat dust...?"

The cold wind subsided instantly.

Two bloody words slowly appeared on the mirror of the dressing table: "Sorry".

Li Xuan said, "Two of your seals have been broken. Now only the head on the well remains. Let's hurry."

To everyone's surprise, the blood on the mirror transformed into words: "Sister... doesn't know yet, head... we'll deal with that later... I'm fine."

He Dexin seemed to know that her sister He Shengxin was in a dazed state. She was afraid that if she took her head back, it would disturb her sister's soul and make her realize the cruel fact that she was already dead.

What a lovely girl.

Li Xuan said, "In that case, let's move on to the next thing and settle accounts with the evil sorcerer who humiliated you back then."

……

On the mountain, in the cemetery, Grandma He stood blankly by the roadside, in front of her an open niche.

After paying respects to our ancestors.

She sent Xiaoqi away and came to check the seal herself.

Although the shrine appeared intact at first glance, she couldn't help but feel flustered. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the outer talisman paper had a tear.

Grandma He recalled the young man who had come down the mountain half an hour earlier.

She instinctively clenched her hands: "I've never seen that young man before. Could he be the one who opened the seal?"

The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became.

She frantically pulled a green-screen flip phone from her clothes and dialed a number...

……

In the southwest of Anshun Village, Minxiong Township, there is a house.

There is a family temple inside, which is to transform the interior of the house into the appearance of a temple, and to worship the gods in the house.

At this moment, a man in his fifties with prominent cheekbones and a thin face sat in a chair, holding a mobile phone. He had a serious expression on his face and said, "The talisman on He Dexin's ossuary has been damaged? Sister He, you must be joking! This is very serious..."

I received a positive answer again on my phone.

A flicker of panic crossed the man's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "It's alright, it's alright. You should hurry home and check that the earthenware jar under the bed upstairs hasn't been opened!"

hang up the phone.

The man's expression shifted between light and dark as he slammed his hand on the table: "Damn it, Gan Lin, it's been over ten years, and you still manage to pull this kind of stunt!"

He was none other than Wu Tiancai, the sorcerer who, sixteen years ago, used the guise of performing a ritual to humiliate He Dexin in collusion with his disciples.

That was the call from that stupid old woman from the He family. She said the seal on the mountain has been broken.

Wu Tiancai realized that a crisis was coming. If the other party had come with a purpose, then the urn in the third-floor room of the He family mansion had probably already been opened!
He Dexin had been suppressed for more than ten years and had been released as a vengeful ghost.

The reason he asked Grandma He to go home and check if the urn had been opened was simply because he wanted to use her as a shield to buy some time.
