Chapter 66 Breaking Free from Imprisonment
Miss Shen was overjoyed. "Really? That's wonderful! I want this red one too, with lots of lace trim, it's so pretty."
"Okay, okay."
Yu Liang felt even more ashamed to look at himself, so he went for a walk by himself, thinking that it would be better to wander around the mass grave than to stay here in embarrassment.
“Um—Sister Shen, please extend your hand.”
Shen Yujie stretched out her hand; the red string on her wrist was still there. Yu Xiaolu tied the other end of the string to the bone and made a talisman, but the red thread on the bone did not glow.
“This one isn’t it,” she called down. “Lu Yifei, throw in a few more.”
Lu Yifei was taken aback. "Why aren't you calling me 'brother' anymore?"
"Tch, you're not my brother, why would I call you brother?"
Lu Yifei remained silent and picked up another bone.
After several rounds of shocks and setbacks, his mental resilience has become much stronger, and he feels that he is growing silently.
He threw in a few more bones and asked Yu Xiaoluo to take the test too.
However, none of the items belonged to Shen Yujie. Yu Xiaoluo was also a little confused. Had they really gone to the wrong place? Or was Lu Yifei's memory wrong, and Shen Yujie's body was not buried here?
Yu Xiaoluo carefully examined the spot where Lu Yifei was standing, and then looked around. There were no stones piled up together; it seemed to be just a large hole, not a well. It looked like it was used for hunting animals and was later abandoned.
Could there be a mistake?
Just then, Yu Liang's voice came from behind, "Luo Luo, there's a well here too."
Yu Xiaoluo immediately went over to check, and Lu Yifei panicked, "Hey, pull me up! The side is too slippery, I can't get up!"
"Sister Chen, go and pull it."
Yu Xiaoluo didn't turn her head and went towards Yu Liang's direction.
Yu Liang parted the thick layer of withered grass, revealing an octagonal ancient well made of bluestone.
Perhaps because it had been covered by a dry well for so long, the ancient well did not look particularly old. Looking down, however, the bottom was deep and dark, which made people feel uneasy, as if something might crawl out from inside.
"Lolo, there seems to be water in here..." He had been holding his breath while clearing the grass, but now he couldn't hold it in anymore. He took a deep breath, and the stench knocked him over. He turned around and lay down in the grass next to him to vomit.
It was getting dark, so Yu Xiaolu shone her flashlight inside. She saw a pile of rotting things floating in the water, and couldn't see anything clearly except for a clump of hair.
Sigh. Yu Xiaoluo didn't want Shen Yujie to come and see, but there was water below, how could she retrieve it?
The main problem was that the well was really too smelly, and Yu Xiaoluo really didn't want to have any contact with anything in the well, not even with her own magic.
Having given up hope, the two men released the four little demons, saying, "You guys fish out what's down there."
The little demons looked around, and three of them shook their heads, "I won't do it."
Instead, the usually pampered little Zhuzhu agreed, "I'll give it a try."
It spun out strong, resilient silk, the fine strands of spider silk spreading downwards like steel wires, piercing through and pulling up the clump below.
As it was pulled upwards, the other soft tissues fell off, leaving only the bones, scalp, and tattered strips of clothing wrapped together in a small bundle, which it pulled up.
At this moment, Lu Yifei and Shen Yujie also arrived. When Shen Yujie saw that lump, memories of her past life and deep hatred surged up like a river, and she suddenly burst into tears.
When Lu Yifei saw Shen Yujie crying, he knew that the pile of remains was her body, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
After all, in that life, all 106 members of her clan died at his hands, and even though Shen Yujie was gone, he still didn't let her go.
What we can find now are her remains.
It was simply abandoned in this well, and in this place with ominous feng shui.
Yu Xiaoluo took out a large plastic bag from her spatial storage and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and pack it. It's getting late, and leaving too late will cause unnecessary trouble. The feng shui here is bad."
At this moment, Lu Yifei silently endured the stench, put the plastic bag over the outside, packed the pile of things up, and tied it up.
After leaving the mountain, Yu Xiaoluo asked Yu Liang to drive slowly so that they could look around at the surrounding mountains.
Let's get this done today. It's late, but it's not good to leave such a smelly thing in the car overnight. We need to find a good burial site for Shen Yujie to bless her and ensure she is reborn into a life of wealth and honor.
They drove out of Lijia Village and followed the mountain range forward. After about half an hour, a beautiful and serene mountain range came into view.
Although it was completely dark, the bright moon hung in the sky, and the general shape of the mountains was still clearly visible.
From a distance, this mountain has a full outline and soft lines, resembling a crouching tiger, and appears to gather and retain auspicious energy. The mountain range stretches and undulates, resembling a "dragon vein," with a strong main trunk and protective branches. At first glance, it seems to be an excellent feng shui location.
"Let's go take a look at that mountain." Yu Xiaoluo pointed in that direction, so Yu Liang drove over.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, a closer look reveals that the mountain descends in layers, forming a natural backrest and embrace. Lush grasses abound, birds sing and insects chirp, creating a tranquil yet lively atmosphere.
She nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go up from here."
So the group of humans and demons went up together, bringing their tools and the painting with them.
Yu Xiaoluo found an excellent location. Lu Yifei and Yu Liang dug the soil together, buried the remains, and then erected a grave. In addition, she set up a protective shield for the grave to keep out mosquitoes.
It's a bit messy, but that's all we can do.
“Sister Chen, I’m sorry, but cremation is the only option right now—and yours will have to be buried like this for the time being. Tomorrow, I’ll send a few more people to build a new grave here, but it’s a bit difficult to get approval for graves now, and some of the deceased are already in public cemeteries. I’ll have Yu Liang try to get approval for one later.”
Shen Yujie shook her head. "No need, this is fine. I'm already very satisfied to be buried in this beautiful and auspicious place."
Yu Xiaoluo took out the painting and a talisman, and looked at Lu Yifei. Lu Yifei gritted his teeth, bit his finger, and dripped blood into the talisman.
Yu Xiaolu affixed the talisman to the painting, and the entire painting emitted a faint blue light, even Shen Yujie's body glowed. Yu Xiaolu pointed her finger at Shen Yujie's brow and shouted, "Roads are roads, bridges are bridges, the ban is lifted! Break!"
As the light exploded, Shen Yujie felt her whole body become lighter, and the feeling of being restrained suddenly disappeared!
