reached out and gently supported the elder's arm, showing deep respect.Two people were waiting for us at the door. I was a little nervous. My brother had already learned how to greet with a bow and in...Jiang Qiyun's tone had been this stern for a long time. My heart pounded in my chest. What was wrong

What's inside the small lacquered coffin Why won't you let me see

My brother is the type who needs a cigarette to calm his nerves. Jiang Qiyun even directly blocked my line of sight, clutching my nape and forcefully preventing me from looking.

The strength in his grip now was unmistakable: a message of no defiance allowed.

I looked up at him, trying to glean something from his eyes, but his gaze was too profound.

He sank... for a moment, he returned to that cold and distant, aloof and arrogant man.

Birth and death, gain and loss, you give me a finger to grasp, making me hold on like a drowning man clutching at a straw.

My curiosity was suppressed, and a thread of fear welled up inside me...

I can't beat him.

"I'm not looking anymore... but wait, okay I'll stay and help my brother with this..." I whispered.

There were only two hours left until dawn. According to Jiang Qiyun's schedule, he needed to return to the Mingwang Tianzi Dian at daybreak. It seemed like ancient kings all had court at dawn

I let him keep waiting, so today's invitation went down the drain.

But now I inexplicably feel panicked and disoriented. My brother has quit smoking, so this sudden change is really out of character. What did he see

When the disgusting zombie got knocked down by the door, my brother could laugh until his stomach hurt. What else could make him so silent and serious

And just now he burned two talismans for the deceased to ascend, this is a case of one body and two souls, burning two talismans is also logical, but why can't we see it

Even the corpses in the morgue were pregnant female zombies, and these incredibly vengeful bodies were a favorite among necromancers.

When the greedy wolf pulled out the Nine-Aperture Jade from under the corpse demon, the corpse water and putrefying fluid in the female corpse's belly splashed out because of the change in internal pressure.

What could be worse than this

My brother suddenly spoke up: "It's so late, Qiao, you should go back first. It's not good for pregnant women to stay up late... Brother-in-law, you take Qiao back first, I'll handle this here."

"No!" I protested immediately. "We're in this together, you know You can't just leave me here without even discussing it! I won't go first."

I looked at Jiang Qiyun resolutely. If he insisted on taking me away, even if I was afraid of him, I would make a scene.

My older brother is sometimes more important to me than a child. He can pull an all-nighter without any problems. Now, three people have fainted in the yard. How is my brother supposed to work alone

If this mine owner wakes up and accuses my brother of defiling his daughter's corpse, there won't be a single witness.

Jiang Qiyun slightly frowned and looked at me, that dangerous aura pierced my skin painfully: "... You should look less at these things. Even if you're not afraid, you shouldn't get close to corpse qi. Lingtai doesn't like this stench of decay."

I can accept that, but——

"My brother..." I didn't trust him.

He had promised me he'd quit smoking, and for the past two years, I haven't seen him smoke. He always carries cigarettes and a lighter with him, but that's just to make small talk when he's working.

Jiang Qiyun gripped the back of my neck, turning me around. He leaned towards my brother and said, "Burn everything in the coffin, including its contents, using the Five Elements Fire Technique to ensure it's completely incinerated... Then perform the Golden Bridge Crossing Spirit Incantation once more. Bury the ashes deeply and have this family offer sacrifices throughout the year."

He actually specifically told my brother!

My brother grunted, "Got it."

Jiang Qiyun grabbed me and walked out, saying in a low voice, “If you don’t want to leave first, just wait in the car.”

"What are you guys so secretive about...Humph..." I'm a little annoyed, hiding things from me

"Mu Xiaqiao," Jiang Qiyun's voice was cold and commanding: "Didn't I tell you, some things knowing is not good for you Just take care of yourself properly. This matter is already finished, does it matter if you see it or not"

Okay, okay, you and my brother are both the type who say what they mean and do what they say. I'll be a good girl and listen, alright

I stepped out to the yard, hadn't gotten into the car yet, when suddenly I heard a strange, piercing shriek—the kind that tears your soul apart.

“Ahhhh—this is, this is a child! Why is this! Why is this! Dead people can still give birth! Ahhahahaha—ahhahaha—what evil has my family committed! What the hell does that white-eyed wolf want to do to curse my family—ahhahahaha—”

The coal mine owner's wife went mad and shrieked in the night.

That kind of maniacal laughter sent shivers down my spine and made me stop in my tracks.

Can you even have children if you're dead

Of course, there are such cases, which is called a coffin.

Shen Qingrui had once sneered at me, saying: "Of course you're rare. A pure yin coffin, born fearless of evil spirits entering your body."

I…

Am I born like this too!

No, no!

My mom was still around after I was born...

My chest heaved violently—no wonder my brother wouldn't let me see, he was afraid I'd see what was inside

Caskets exist.

Corpses are decomposed by microorganisms. A large number of anaerobic bacteria multiply in the body, producing a large amount of carbon dioxide and methane. These gases lead to the bloating phenomenon seen in decaying giants. If the openings are blocked, it becomes even more terrifying.

The gases in the body expand, pushing the fetus out.

This young girl was hanged. She was placed in this lacquered coffin, and her legs had to be propped up to fit, which increased the pressure on her abdomen.

Given all the circumstances, it wouldn't be surprising to see a coffin.

Most coffin babies are stillborn. Occasionally, extremely rarely—a full-term infant might survive for a while on the nutrients in the womb. If found in time, there's a chance of survival. If not, they die inside the coffin.

My brother won't let me watch.

Don't let me get close.

Jiang Qiyun blocked my view completely.

They didn't want me to see that kind of scene.

What a horrifying scene it would be if a stillborn baby was squeezed out of a corpse.

especially to me.

Sheng Qingrui, with an air of arrogance, told me she was a "pure yin" coffin child. Then, Jiang Qiyun ordered the ghost messengers to beat her until she was bleeding from her mouth. Was this punishment for revealing this information

》》》

My throat is so dry, it feels like it's burning. My heart feels like it's being squeezed by a giant hand, and I can barely breathe. It even makes the two little ones in my belly restless, kicking and thrashing around.

Jiang Qiyun's icy fingers covered my eyelids, his voice cold as he warned, "…Dwelling on fantasies is dangerous, Mu Xia Qiao. Don't test my patience."

"I... I was born like this too" I asked, my voice trembling.

He chuckled softly: "What do you think Don't you remember when Cheng Bansxian helped your father remove the poison, didn't you see in the mirror your mother holding you"

I…

"So you're stubborn, once you have an idea, you won't listen to anyone..." He whispered in my ear, "The secret you want to know is at the Mu family."

“But you should listen to me now and rest well…” calling her name, calmly telling her "Go."She bowed deeply to Jiang Qiyundun, her voice trembling slightly, but still maintaining a cold and imposing "coolness": "Yes, my subordinate is fortunate to...
