Chapter 146: The Happy Coffin
The two returned to the living room.
Yang Shuo walked to the main seat on the sofa and sat down. His eyes fell on Li Zhi and he said, "Master Li, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Li Zhi nodded, "It's okay."
Yang Shuo smiled. "I believe that Master Jiang Tianshi has told you everything about my family's affairs. Master Li, do you have a solution to help my troubled old man rest in peace?"
Li Zhi raised her eyebrows imperceptibly. "I heard from Master Jiang Tianshi that your grandfather died of natural causes at the age of over 100, and was he even given a happy funeral?"
Yang Shuo nodded, "That's right."
Li Zhi took a sip of the tea in her hand and said slowly, "Logically speaking, under such circumstances, your old man should just wait for reincarnation. How could he become a fierce ghost and cause unrest in your house?"
Yang Shuo's hand on his leg curled up, "Master Jiang Tianshi also mentioned this to me, but the problem is that I don't understand anything and don't know anything."
He paused, then continued, "Could it be that my old man had some unfulfilled wishes when he was alive, and that is why his death has caused unrest in our family?"
Li Zhi turned to look at Master Jiang Tianshi and asked, "Have you ever visited the cemetery where he was buried?"
Jiang Tianshi was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Yang said that his grandfather had instructed that he not be buried after his death, but simply scatter his ashes, which would be considered returning to the embrace of heaven and earth."
He suddenly thought of something and continued, "Could it be that the old man's transformation into a ghost is related to this, and he still needs to be buried in peace?"
Li Zhi didn't answer his question. She retracted her gaze and looked back at Yang Shuo. She said with a half-smile, "It seems that Mr. Yang is not telling us the truth."
Yang Shuo's back tensed, and his eyes flickered, "Miss Li, I don't understand what you mean."
"Since you refuse to tell the truth, I don't think it's necessary for me to help you solve this matter."
Li Zhi put down the teacup in her hand, glanced at the huge living room, and continued nonchalantly, "Those talismans you put up, the peach wood sword, and the Bagua mirror you hung won't last long. Your old man's resentment will only grow. These will be just decorations to him in the end and won't stop him at all."
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and your father's transformation into a fierce ghost is entirely your fault. It's time to return your life to your father."
"After all, without him, you wouldn't have been born, so it can be considered as returning the property to its original owner."
Yang Shuo's face changed drastically and he almost jumped up from the sofa. He really couldn't sit still anymore.
Unexpectedly, she did nothing, but she realized that she had lied and knew that it was him who turned the old man into a ghost.
After hearing what Li Zhi said, the expressions of Yang Shuo's wife and son became a little unnatural. It was obvious that they also knew the inside story.
Master Jiang Tianshi widened his eyes slightly, obviously not expecting that it was Yang Shuo who turned the old man into a ghost.
It turned out that I was not very talented or well-educated. Master Ren Li came over and knew what had happened just by looking at it.
Jiang Tianshi collected his thoughts and said, "Mr. Yang, if you don't tell the truth, you will really be waiting to die."
Yang Shuo clenched his fists, sweat broke out on his forehead, and struggle was deep in his eyes.
Mrs. Yang couldn't hold it in any longer and couldn't help sobbing softly.
She hasn't slept well in the past few days. She worries every night that she will die and suffers from severe mental weakness.
"Husband, just tell me, do you want us all to die?"
Yang Shuo lowered his eyelids and breathed a little quickly, but he didn't say anything, obviously he was still considering.
Li Zhi stood up from the sofa slowly, "It seems there is no need for me to stay any longer."
Madam Yang: "Husband, please say something!"
Yang Shuo's son also became anxious, "Dad!"
Yang Shuo took a deep breath, looked up at Li Zhi who was about to leave, and quickly reached out to stop her, "Master Li, wait, I'm going to say!"
Li Zhi paused, sat down on the sofa again, and raised her fair chin slightly, "Go ahead."
Yang Shuo wiped the sweat from his forehead and was silent for a few seconds before slowly saying, "My father is exactly one hundred years old this year. He has always been in good health, without any illness or disaster. He can walk and talk fluently. It seems that he will have no problem living for another ten years."
He paused, looked at his son, and continued, "A month ago, my son came back from school and suddenly had a high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. He took medicine and IV drips, but it started again two days later. It kept coming back, and he lost a lot of weight, but the doctor couldn't find any cause."
"Later, we had no choice but to invite a master to come to our house to see what was going on and whether there was a problem with the feng shui of the house."
"But unexpectedly, after the master took a look, he said the problem was with my dad."
"He said my father lived to be over 100 years old and remained healthy because he took away the lifespan of his descendants. My son's health has weakened and he has recurring fevers because of his lifespan. If this condition isn't addressed promptly, it could be life-threatening."
Li Zhi raised an eyebrow. "That's ridiculous. What did he ask you to do?"
Yang Shuo pursed his lips, his throat a little dry. "He said he would prepare a coffin painted red, then nail my father inside it alive, and bury him in the deepest part of the ancestral tomb at the time he said. He said it would be a lucky coffin to ward off bad luck."
"I've never heard of this bullshit fortune-suppressing coffin thing! You've obviously been scammed!" Jiang Tianshi said in disbelief with horror, "Besides, that's your biological father. How could you have the heart to do that to him?"
Yang Shuo covered his face with his hands and said in a painful tone, "I have no choice. My son's health is getting worse and worse. Do you want me to watch him die? He is still so young..."
"Besides, my dad has lived for so long, that's enough. The most important thing is that he agreed to this matter himself."
Jiang Tianshi frowned, "Did your father willingly want to be nailed alive into a coffin?"
"Yeah!" Yang Shuo lowered his hand from covering his face and said in confusion, "My dad was clearly willing to go in, so why is he turning into a ghost and coming after us now?"
"Did that person give you the nails for the coffin?" Li Zhi suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Yang Shuo raised his eyes and looked at her again. He was slightly stunned, then reacted and nodded. "Yes, he gave it to me. Is it because of the nail?"
"I have to go and see to know. Your father has been purified and liberated. Now take me to your ancestral grave." Li Zhi said.
Yang Shuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard her say that she could save his father's soul. He immediately stood up from the sofa and said, "Okay, I'll take you there now."
Li Zhi hummed, then suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, right, call two more people, bring tools, and dig the grave."
"Okay!" Yang Shuo responded.
