Restoring the Skeleton

Su Meng had been staring at the incense burner. Everything was normal at first but the moment Wen Le entered, the incense started to burn abnormally. At first, there were three long and two short ones. Then, the smoke didn’t spiral up like it did at the beginning, but became chaotic.

“Mr. Wen, do you really want to apologize to her?” Su Meng asked without turning her head when Wen Le walked to her side.

Wen Le quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. It was my fault earlier. I apologize. I really mean it. I swear that I’ll never do this again! As long as great aunt can let me go, I’m willing to set up a tablet for her and pay tribute every festival.”

Wen Le’s tone was rather sincere but after he finished speaking, the incense did not return to normal. It was still long and short, some burned quickly while some burned slowly.

Wen Le looked at Su Meng awkwardly. Even though he did not know much about feng shui, the scene in front of him was obvious. Anyone could tell that it was not good.

“Master...” Wen Le looked at Su Meng for help, not knowing what to do.

Su Meng was not bothered by this. She kept her eyes on the coffin and did not even look at Wen Le.

Su Meng did not say anything and Wen Le did not dare to say anything either. He kept staring at Su Meng nervously.

It was unknown whether it was because he was frightened or because he had just been bitten by the centipede, but Wen Le’s face gradually turned pale and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. It was obvious that he was not feeling well. His eyes were a little unfocused, and even his hands were shaking.

However, Su Meng was too focused on the coffin to notice his current state.

As for Wei Ting, although he had been paying close attention to the situation in the tomb, it was too dark inside and he was too far away. He could not see Wen Le’s expression at all.

“Go and bring this girl’s body over and put it in the coffin,” Su Meng said to Wen Le after a while.

Wen Le’s expression turned even worse when he heard that he had to carry the skeleton. The skeleton had been smashed into pieces by him and now, not only did he have to carry it back, he even had to put it back together for her. This was too difficult for him.

“Master’s advice.” Wen Le wanted to ask Su Meng if she could use another method.

But before he could finish his sentence, Su Meng interrupted, “Just do what I tell you to do, and don’t say anything unnecessary. Although the skeleton is broken, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to straighten her out, right?”

“It’s not difficult, but it’s just that...” As he was speaking, Wen Le suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his brain, and then his ears began to ring.

He was already a little dizzy, but now it was even more serious. Could he have been poisoned? However, he had never heard of a centipede’s poison being more potent than a scorpion’s. Could it be that these centipedes had mutated because they had lived in cemeteries all year round?

He wanted to tell Su Meng about his situation, but he was afraid that Su Meng would ask him to leave. If he did not solve the problem this time, this matter would continue to haunt him for a long time.

‘No, no matter what happens, I have to settle this.’

Wen Le endured the discomfort and steadied his swaying body as he walked to the front of the skeleton. He clenched his teeth and closed his eyes. He stretched his arms forward and directly picked up the pile of bones before walking toward the coffin.

Following Su Meng’s instructions, he carefully placed the bones into the coffin and quickly put the bones back in place. After that, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

Su Meng’s gaze only moved away when the skeleton returned to the coffin. She asked Wen Le to close the coffin.

After Wen Le covered the coffin, she took out a few yellow talismans and drew incantations on them. She stuck them on the top and sides of the coffin, leaving only the bottom.

After that, she took out a ball of red rope and wrapped it around the four sides of the coffin. This time, the red rope avoided the top and bottom.

Su Meng finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Master, what do you mean by this?” Wen Le asked as he pointed at Su Meng’s amulet and red string.

At first, he thought Su Meng was trying to seal the coffin. However, if she was trying to seal the coffin, why would she leave one side of it untouched? It would be useless then.

In order to prevent something like this from happening to him again, he hoped that Su Meng could seal the coffin completely so that the evil energy inside could not run around.

Su Meng looked at the coffin that she had stuck a charm on and said, “This female corpse died an unnatural death when she was alive. She was nailed to the coffin and suffocated to death. As a result, her resentment is very great, but she was a kind person when she was alive and had never done any bad things. So even if she is now full of hostility and resentment, there is still a chance to convert her.”
