I shook my head slightly and said, "That Ba Chi Pu (Eight-Foot Shop) must have placed some kind of restriction here! If I don't offer enough money, or rather, money that satisfies the people inside, we won't be able to find out about Ba Chi Pu. The owner of Ba Chi Pu is deliberately letting the people on the street earn money."

"We'll see what Ba Chi Pu is all about tonight."

Ye Yang and I, carrying the Greedy Wolf Coffin, arrived at the crossroads behind Fengshui Street after midnight, only to find that there was actually no road there. Outside the street, there was only a patch of yellow sand where even grass didn't grow.

When we walked onto the wasteland, we saw that someone had drawn a crossroads there.

This was the path to the Eight-Foot Coffin!

As I took out the big money, Ye Yang whispered, "There's someone behind us. It's the owner of the paper goods store."

"Probably just curious! Ignore him!" As I spoke, I threw out the big coin. The coin rolled on the sand as expected.

As I looked in the direction the coin was rolling, a lone shop really appeared on the wasteland.

The faint light of the lantern on the left side of the storefront illuminated the shop's sign: "Eight-Foot Coffin."

The owner of the paper goods store, who was hiding at the street entrance, was so frightened when he saw the coffin shop that he made a noise, "My God! How can there be an Eight-Foot Coffin in this place? What are they playing at?"

"Playing with their lives!" The owner was startled by a cold laugh that suddenly came from behind him, "Dad, why are you here?"

The owner had only said one sentence when he jumped up from the street entrance, "Dad, aren't you dead? You... you..."

"Only the dead can find the Eight-Foot Coffin!" As the old man's voice came over, the owner of the paper goods store collapsed as if his bones had been removed. A hand reached out from the shadows in the corner and dragged him into the roadside bushes.

After Ye Yang and I exchanged a look, we carried the Greedy Wolf Coffin towards the Eight-Foot Coffin. I finally met the shopkeeper of the coffin shop.

I looked up and down at the old man sitting behind the coffin, spinning walnuts, for a long time before I opened my mouth and said, "You must be the shopkeeper of Ba Chi Pu, Old Man Ba Chi (Eight-Foot)?"

"I am Yao Ba Chi! The current shopkeeper of the coffin shop!" Yao Ba Chi took out a tea set from behind the coffin and placed it on the coffin lid, "Please have some tea!"

Yao Ba Chi saw that I didn't move and laughed, "Don't I look like a shopkeeper?"

I responded, "You're not quite what I imagined. I thought the shopkeeper of Ba Chi Pu would be a dead person, or a ghost. I didn't expect you to be alive!"

Yao Ba Chi picked up the teacup, "In the art of divination, the living and the dead are indistinguishable. I do business with both the living and the dead. I would also like to ask, do you know the rules of Ba Chi Pu?"

I shook my head and said, "The person who introduced me didn't tell me the rules."

Yao Ba Chi laughed, "The person who introduced you must be Wen Yi, right? Only that guy doesn't tell others my rules."

Yao Ba Chi said, "Since you're here to do business, I'll talk about my rules first. If you can't accept them, then we don't need to talk further. Lest we offend Wen Yi."

I nodded and said, "Speak, I'm all ears."

Yao Ba Chi said, "Those who come to the Eight-Foot Coffin, light a white lantern, and knock on the coffin, must offer something that can move the shopkeeper's heart. Otherwise, there will be one more person in the coffin of Ba Chi Pu."

Yao Ba Chi waved his hand gently, and a wall made of coffins appeared behind him.

I could feel that there was someone in each of those coffins.

Those people had both the yin energy of the dead and the vitality of the living, making it impossible to tell whether they were dead or alive.

Yao Ba Chi saw that I wasn't speaking and laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not someone who kills people casually. As long as you don't deliberately play with me, I won't let you sleep in a coffin. First, tell me what you want to do? Then, we'll talk about the price."

I said, "I want to ask you to unlock a coffin. I just don't know if you can solve the puzzle on that coffin!"

When I looked at Yao Ba Chi on the opposite side of the coffin with a smile that was not a smile, I discovered that he had disappeared!

The other party's cultivation in body techniques alone was astonishing!

Before my shocked expression could fade, I heard Yao Ba Chi say beside Ye Yang, "That depends on what price you offer? If the price is right, there is no mystery I can't solve."

I immediately calmed down, "I want you to help me unlock a coffin brought out from Xiao Mountain. The coffin's owner may be from the Fengshen (Investiture of the Gods) era. How much do you want for this business?"

Yao Ba Chi hesitated for a moment and held up a finger, "This much!"

I took a one-yuan coin from my pocket and placed it on the coffin, "This much?"

Yao Ba Chi picked up the coin and laughed, "I like your guts! However, if you dare to play with me, I will definitely do something you don't like, you understand?"

I waved my hand gently, and Ye Yang lifted the black cloth covering the Greedy Wolf Coffin.

Yao Ba Chi walked around the Greedy Wolf Coffin several times, his expression becoming more and more solemn, until he opened the coffin lid and saw the compass inside, then he said in a deep voice, "Who are you people?"

"Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren!" I turned to look at the other party and said, "Business is here, are you taking it or not?"
