Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 60 Empty Tomb
"..."

"The next day, out of curiosity, I didn't go back directly. I wanted to follow Chen Guokun and the others to broaden my horizons and see what was so magical about that feng shui arrangement."

"We searched every possible place where Yue Na's true form might exist for an entire day, but we couldn't find a single clue."

"At six o'clock in the afternoon, we came to Yue Na's grave again. This is still the most likely place."

"Chen Guokun suspects that Yue Na's tomb has a special structure, a feng shui arrangement, that might be hidden inside!"

"He's preparing to exhume the body!"

"As someone working in the funeral industry, I am somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Guokun's actions; it is disrespectful to the deceased!"

"But from Chen Guokun's perspective, everything he did was for the safety and well-being of the living."

In the end, I said nothing and did nothing.

"Soon, the tomb was dug up. There was no special structure inside that Chen Guokun had imagined. It was just a normal cemetery with a stone coffin inside that was only one-third the size of a normal coffin, specifically used to store urns containing ashes."

"We were all stunned when we saw the stone coffin."

"The lid of the stone coffin was not placed on the coffin itself, but was embedded in the soil to the side, and the inside of the coffin was also filled with mud."

"Yue Na's grave has been disturbed!"

"Chen Guokun began cleaning, and soon the soil inside the stone coffin was cleared away; there was nothing inside!"

"It's an empty tomb!"

"The sudden appearance of empty graves cast a shadow over our hearts. At this time, the cemetery staff had all gone home, so we had no choice but to leave the cemetery."

Back at the hotel, we analyzed the situation, but couldn't come up with a solution.

Finally, we all went back to our own rooms.

"I'm staying up very late because of the empty tomb."

"At dawn, I suddenly felt a familiar chill. I drew my peach wood sword and cautiously looked around. Finally, I realized the chill was coming from next door—Chen Guokun's room!"

"I rushed out and, upon reaching Chen Guokun's room, I didn't knock. Instead, I lit incense and recited the 'Incantation for Subduing Evil Spirits'!"

"Smoke rose and seeped into the crack in the door."

"Soon, I heard a scream that was not human, and then a ghostly figure passed through the door and crashed into me, carrying smoke with it."

"I was cold and stiff all over, and I watched helplessly as my face was scratched open and torn off by fingernails."

"Tong Yu came out of the next room, yelling, and hurled the cube he was holding at us..."

"I'm dead!"

……

Chen Miao carefully examined the contents of this document.

There is a lot of text, and a lot of information is provided.

Judging from the content of the chapter, their daytime actions were all in vain.

The truly valuable things begin in the afternoon.

Chen Miao was also surprised to find that Yue Na's grave was empty!

No wonder I didn't feel any yin energy when I went there before. There was nothing inside, so how could there be any yin energy?
Judging from the description of that tomb, it was definitely not a respectable person who took Yue Na's ashes away, otherwise they wouldn't have just left the stone coffin unsealed in the ground.

So, does this mean Yue Na has offended someone?

But who on earth would not let Yue Na go even after she died, and even dig up her grave!
Normally, a stone coffin should contain an urn and some burial items, but this coffin was empty; everything had been taken away!

If such a person truly exists, then Chen Guokun's initial guess was off track.

Yue Na is very likely not a naturally formed ghost, but a ghost that was kept by someone!

In that case, there would be no such thing as a feng shui arrangement!

This also explains why, even though Chen Guokun had captured Yue Na, she still managed to escape—because someone intervened!
However, these were merely guesses made by Chen Miao based on the information he already knew.

There's another flaw in this conjecture. If the person who turned Yue Na into a ghost truly existed, how did they know who Yue Na wanted dead?

Why would he seek revenge for Yue Na?
Chen Miao pondered for a long time but still couldn't get an answer.

He looked up and saw Chen Guokun driving the car.

"Brother Kun, how about we go to Yue Na's grave first?"

Chen Miao had even already thought about how to answer Chen Guokun's next questions.

To their surprise, Chen Guokun didn't ask any questions and directly re-planned the route using navigation.

This surprised Chen Miao.

What Chen Miao didn't know was that after he accurately predicted Yue Na's attack on Wang Yating last night, his words carried considerable weight with Chen Guokun.

Not to mention, Chan Kwok-kwan also planned to visit a cemetery, but initially, he put the cemetery last on his list.

It's just that it's happening ahead of schedule now.

Half an hour later, the three of them stood in front of Yue Na's tombstone for the second time.

Do you think there's something wrong with the tomb?

Chen Guokun asked.

Chen Miao, who already knew Chen Guokun's thoughts from the book, nodded.

Seeing this, Chen Guokun said nothing and turned to leave.

When he returned, he had two more multi-functional entrenching tools in his hands.

He tossed one to Tong Yu and kept the other for himself.

Then, the two of them crossed Yue Na's tombstone and began digging.

Chen Miao had thought it would take a long time, but to his surprise, the two of them were in excellent physical condition and dug up the stone coffin twice as fast as Chen Miao had expected.

The appearance of the stone coffin shocked Chen Guokun, and Chen Miao timely showed a surprised expression.

Without Chen Miao saying anything, Chen Guokun cleaned the inside of the stone coffin.

An empty tomb!?

Tong Yu looked surprised, while Chen Guokun's face was solemn.

Chen Miao knew that Chen Guokun, who witnessed this scene, must have made some guesses as well.

However, Chen Guokun knew less than him and did not know that Yue Na, who was inside the Ghost Cube in his hand, would come out at night.

Nevertheless, Chen Guokun reacted quickly.

The three arrived at the cemetery administrator's office. After Chen Guokun showed his credentials, the administrator, who had been lazy at first, became very professional.

"Sir, we only keep three months of surveillance footage here, and we only installed cameras at the cemetery gate and around the cemetery fence. The grave you mentioned is in the middle of the cemetery, so it can't be captured by the cameras."

The administrator said somewhat awkwardly.

Logically, there shouldn't be so few cameras in a cemetery, but a couple of years ago, the boss wanted to cut costs and control unnecessary expenses, so he suggested that cameras only be installed around the perimeter.

After all, as long as they control the main gate and the cemetery boundary, they can monitor everyone who enters.

Who would have thought that a police officer would want to see the grave in the middle!
Upon hearing this, Chen Guokun frowned.

For a moment, he didn't know how to find out how the tomb disappeared!

"Is it possible to find the salesperson who handled that tomb back then?"

Just then, Chen Miao spoke up.
