Chapter 72 One Tael and Four Coins, Secret Techniques of the Sanskrit Scriptures (Seeking First Subscription!)
Chapter Three: The Physical Form

"..."

"A wisp of yin energy was dispelled from the cabin by the yin-dispelling talisman, and in an instant it was absorbed by the two yin-gathering talismans I had placed earlier."

At the same time, Yue Na, who had been locked in a stalemate with Chen Guokun, suddenly began to falter. After being struck several times by Chen Guokun, she retreated into the small wooden house!

"I knew the opportunity had come, but I also knew I couldn't act rashly!"

Looking at that little wooden house and thinking about Yue Na's experiences, I remained silent for a long time.

"Perhaps, before I kill them, I can try to perform a ritual to help them pass on."

"I pulled out an incense stick and chose a mantra I'd never used before: the 'Transcending to Immortality Mantra'!"

"Three times in a row, after the thick smoke of incense entered the cabin, I saw Yue Na."

"This time, I didn't sense much yin energy from Yue Na."

"Moreover, the horrific stitched wounds on Yue Na's face were no longer visible; now she was just an ordinary girl in a crowd!"

Suddenly, my fear of Yue Na disappeared.

Yue Na walked up to Yue Xiaodao and stroked his face.

"It was at this moment that I realized that ghosts can also shed tears."

"With Yue Na gone, the lingering feeling that had been plaguing me and making my heart pound has also disappeared."

"Everything has returned to normal."

"But some people and some things can never go back to the past."

"Something seems to belong to me, weighing one tael and two mace."

[Chapter 3 complete. Obtained Yin Virtue (1.2 taels), obtained Yue Na's memory fragments, obtained "Curse of the Buddha: Great Compassion and Soul-Suppressing Sutra", obtained "Southern School Corpse-Sewing Secret Technique"]

……

After reading the third chapter, Chen Miao turned the page to the "Author Information" section.

Sure enough, the "[Beset by Resentment (∞)]" message in the status bar disappeared.

"So last time, I jumped off a building because this state of being haunted by resentment hadn't disappeared?"

Chen Miao recalled the content of the chapter before it ended.

Chen Miao originally thought that the [Resentment Haunted (∞)] would dissipate as Yue Na and Yue Na's original body were taken away, but in fact, it did not.

Or perhaps this state is completely different from the sinister aura that Chen Guokun described.

Either Yue Na's original body was taken away and not destroyed within seven days, which led to Chen Miao's mental breakdown and suicide by jumping off a building while being consumed by resentment.

Or perhaps... both?
Chen Miao was unaware of this situation, since the ending had already been changed.

Just as Chen Miao was about to check what the "Curse of Buddha - Great Compassion and Soul-Suppressing Sutra" was, footsteps sounded.

Looking up, Chen Miao saw Chen Guokun approaching.

"Chen Miao, can we go to that little cabin now?"

Chen Guokun asked tentatively.

Chen Miao glanced at the small wooden house and nodded.

"You can go now, but be careful under that little cabin."

Chen Guokun was taken aback.

"Is there something else down there?"

Chen Miao nodded.

"Yes, it should be related to Yue Xiaodao, but it shouldn't be a big problem... How about I perform a ritual to help him pass on to the afterlife?"

Chen Guokun nodded without any hesitation.

"can!"

Chen Miao didn't stand on ceremony and glanced at the section on "Virtue".

[Virtue in secret: 1.5 taels]

An inexplicable confidence filled Chen Miao's chest.

Indeed, money gives men courage!

Chen Miao put the book into his bag, then pretended to take out the incense sticks he had redeemed and lit them.

After thinking about the contents of the book before, Chen Miao did not choose the "Suppressing Evil Incantation" but instead recited the "Incantation for Subduing True Enemies and Resolving Grievances".

"The vengeful spirit's obsession has now dissipated; let the pure incense of truth guide your soul. May your grievances be resolved, your resentment transformed, and your karmic obstacles eliminated, so that you may be reborn in the Eastern Paradise of Eternal Bliss."

……

The smoke from the incense rose and then disappeared into the ground.

Just when Chen Miao thought it wasn't enough, a small amount of smoke seeped out from the ground and then disappeared.

Seeing this, Chen Miao reached out and flipped open the book in his bag with his fingers, glancing at it.

After seeing the newly appeared content, he withdrew his hand and nodded to Chen Guokun.

"Okay."

Chen Guokun breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the cabin, with Chen Miao following behind. As for Tong Yu, he remained vigilant beside Yue Xiaodao, even though Yue Xiaodao's body was already covered in blood.

As Chen Miao approached the cabin, he felt a chill.

Yin energy!

Even though he had done a lot before, some yin energy still remained.

However, apart from the yin energy, nothing else happened.

Chen Guokun opened the door of the wooden house and saw six peeled-off faces hanging on the wall inside, as well as the envelope on the urn containing ashes.

As Chen Miao got closer, he discovered things that had not been described in the book.

Inside the cabin, besides the face skins, there were also some dark red characters covered by the face skins.

Because of the "Zhong Family Talismans", Chen Miao learned about runes, but these characters were not runes.

But Chen Miao felt like he had seen this somewhere before!

Soon, Chen Miao figured out what kind of writing it was.

Sanskrit!

In this way, even if Chen Miao didn't know the meaning of these Sanskrit characters, he would know what they were writing.

The Great Compassionate Vow Sutra for Suppressing the Soul and Cursing the Buddha!
Could it be that the lingering yin energy here, trapping Yue Na for a year, is due to this scripture, not a feng shui arrangement?

But who wrote this passage?
Yue Xiaodao?

Considering Yue Xiaodao's previous half-human, half-corpse state, it seems quite possible.

How could such a young child know about such things?

Snapped!
Chen Guokun closed the door of the wooden house again.

Chen Miao looked at Chen Guokun with a puzzled expression.

"what happened?"

Chen Guokun shook his head.

"We have to take this cabin with us. The things inside seem to involve something else, and we must report this to our superiors."

Chen Miao was taken aback. Something else?
Seeing that Chen Guokun didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, Chen Miao didn't ask.

"Chen Miao, thank you very much for your help this time. I'll come to see you again after this matter is completely over."

Chen Guokun suddenly took out a Ghost Cube and handed it to Chen Miao.

"Take this. It can be used for self-defense. After you catch those things with it, you can hand it over to me."

"I will replace it with a new one for you, and I will also convert the points you submitted into contribution points and save them for you."

Chen Miao did not refuse and put away the Ghost Cube.

He really liked this thing, because as long as he caught it, he could safely help the deceased pass on.

As for catching the opponent and exchanging for contribution points?
Chen Miao did not believe that the Bureau's contribution points could be compared to Yin De (virtuous deeds).

"Then I'll be going now. Don't forget to dig underground. Also, there's too much yin energy gathered on both sides. See what you can do about it."

Chen Miao pointed to the area below the wooden house, and then to the locations of the Yin-gathering talismans on both sides.

Chen Guokun glanced at it and said, "Don't worry about the yin energy. It will naturally dissipate when the yang energy rises tomorrow morning. I will disperse the people here first."

After Chen Guokun finished speaking, he looked at Chen Miao and said, "I have to stay here and watch over things, so I won't see you off."

Chen Miao nodded, but didn't move.

"Anything else?"

Chen Guokun asked in confusion.

Chen Miao pointed to the century-old peach wood sword blank that Chen Guokun was tightly clutching in his hand.

"Hehe, look at me, I forgot."

As he spoke, Chen Guokun also took out the peach charm.

"The peach charms are yours."

Chen Miao waved his hand and took the peach wood short sword blank that Tong Yu handed him.

"Okay, let's go."

After saying that, Chen Miao walked out of the orphanage.

Just then, he saw Dean Wen Qiubai running towards Chen Guokun in a panic.

"Xiao Dao, Xiao Dao, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Miao didn't go to look again and took a taxi back to the director's office of Tianmen Funeral Home.

He had barely sat down when he opened the book again.

He planned to check what was going on below the cabin and also to calculate the gains and losses from this operation.
