Right when Jiangli was preparing to keep his appointment, some people were also very busy.
After speaking with Jiangli and Xia Xin, the Cat Sister immediately confirmed the situation with her parents last night and urged them to dig up the family grave to check.
Early this morning, the Cat Sister and her parents rushed to the ancestral grave.
By the time they arrived, it was nearly noon.
The ancestral grave was in the suburbs of the city.
Once they reached the grave, perhaps out of psychological reasons, the Cat Sister and her parents felt that the whole burial ground was gloomy and chilly, with cold wind blowing in gusts.
Even in the sweltering heat of July, they felt not a drop of sweat upon arriving there, only the chilling breeze that made their flesh crawl.
The group arrived at the grave site, but then hesitated to act.
Wavering, they invited more friends and relatives for moral support. It was only at noon, when the Yang Energy was strongest, that they dared to open the coffin.
Indeed, there was a large tree growing on top of the Cat Sister’s great grandfather’s grave, and judging from the size of the tree, it appeared to be about a decade old.
Seeing that big tree filled the Cat Sister’s family with fear.
When they opened the tomb, everyone’s expressions changed.
The roots had indeed penetrated the head of the coffin, and it seemed to have happened in recent years.
What was more eerie was...
Despite decades passing by, the coffin wood hadn’t decayed at all, but remained as fresh as new.
The Cat Sister’s family and their friends and relatives all felt exceedingly uneasy.
"This is probably a bad omen. We’ve just opened the grave; could this cause any trouble?"
"Yeah, the tree roots piercing through the coffin wood must be an ominous sign!"
The Cat Sister’s parents immediately looked at her, "Yuanyuan, didn’t you say that a master had advised us? Quickly ask that master for a solution now, will you?"
Pulled back from her shock by her parents’ words, the Cat Sister remembered Xia Xin’s instructions, "Right, the master said, if the tree roots have pierced the coffin, we shouldn’t move the coffin; otherwise, the leakage of Yin Energy would be even worse!"
"Thank goodness we didn’t touch it earlier!"
"Yes, thankfully we didn’t. Just by looking at the coffin, you can tell it’s inauspicious; it shouldn’t be disturbed!"
Listening to the relatives’ clamor, the Cat Sister’s father quickly asked, "Yuanyuan, then ask that master what should we do now? We’ve dug up the grave, we can’t just cover it back up !"
The others echoed in agreement, urging the Cat Sister to quickly contact the master.
The Cat Sister could only hurriedly get in touch with Xia Xin.
By the time Xia Xin received the message, it was already four in the afternoon.
He was about to head out with Jiangli to their appointment.
Seeing the Cat Sister’s message, Xia Xin sent his phone number to her, suggesting she call for a more convenient conversation.
The Cat Sister promptly made the call, "Master Xia, is that you?"
Xia Xin replied, "Yes, it’s me. The Abbot is right here with me. What’s the situation with your family now?"
The Cat Sister’s parents gathered around her, signaling her to speak quickly.
Anxious, the Cat Sister said, "It’s just like the Abbot described. The tree root has penetrated our family’s ancestral coffin. It’s my great grandfather’s grave, and it has gone through the head of the coffin. Moreover... it’s been decades, and the coffin wood hasn’t decayed. The more I look at it, the more frightened I get. Can the Abbot come and have a look for us?"
Xia Xin immediately inquired, "You didn’t open the coffin, did you?"
The Cat Sister hastily replied, "No, no, no, you told me not to open it casually. I know, we didn’t dare to touch the coffin."
Xia Xin shared the basic situation with Jiangli.
Jiangli asked, "What time is it now?"
Xia Xin checked his phone, "Four o’clock."
Jiangli pondered for a moment, "Are they locals?"
Xia Xin looked at the location the Cat Sister had sent, "Yes, they are local, right in the outskirts of F City."
