He didn't seem to be a high-level warlock.

I slightly frowned, "Two years ago, did you send back a man named Fan Fang? Tell me about it."

The man subconsciously asked, "Why are you asking about him?"

I looked at him coldly, "I'm here for Fan Fang. I don't care about your business. You explain things clearly, and I'll leave immediately."

The man finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Li-ye, you should have said so earlier! If we had known you were here for such an irrelevant matter, we would have told you already."

"Two years ago, I was the one who picked up Fan Fang's body."

"When we received the call, they said Fan Fang died in the middle of the three-way intersection and asked us to collect the body."

I interrupted him, "Are you sure Fan Fang died at the three-way intersection?"

Logically speaking, if someone dies on the road, the first call should go to the funeral home, but to the police.

Only after the police confirm that the deceased died of natural causes will they be taken from the autopsy center to the funeral home.

The man said, "The autopsy center is right across from us. Anyway, we're bringing them back. It's the same whichever place we go to first."

"Before I went, I thought the man had been hit by a car, but when I got there, my heart sank—the white cloth covering Fan Fang's body had stones placed on all four corners. That's so the dead person wouldn't cover himself with the white cloth; he wanted to see people!"

"It's not easy to bring back a corpse like that. If the deceased can't see the person who harmed him, and won't even let the white cloth cover his face, how can we carry him?"

"I got out of the car and asked around, how did Fan Fang die? Who put the stones on the white cloth?"

"The traffic police told me that the forensic doctor came and said it was a sudden heart attack, and the family had no other objections. But the white cloth just wouldn't stay on, it would be blown away by the wind as soon as it was put on. I don't know why there was such a strong wind that night?"

"He didn't know what was going on, but I felt a chill down my spine!"

"But, we were already there, we had to send the body back!"

"I called my brothers over to lift the body. But the body seemed to be welded to the ground, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't lift it. I burned incense and kowtowed, but the body didn't move at all."

"Even the traffic police felt something was wrong and came up to ask me what was going on?"

"I knew what was going on in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it! Who knows who might be listening around us if those words got out?"

"I was sweating profusely with anxiety, and then my brother said to me, 'Brother, why don't you take a look at the side of the road.'"

"To be honest, I really didn't dare to go to the side of the road, but I had no choice! If the body couldn't be moved, not only would it ruin the deal, but it could also lead to death!"

The man's words weren't from the rules of術道 (Shu Dao – the Path of术, magic, or skill), but common sense in the Jianghu (martial world).

A dead person who refuses to get up is either because the person who harmed him is nearby or because there is something important that hasn't been explained.

If you don't have enough ability to protect yourself, never be curious about the cause of his death. Otherwise, the dead person will pester you to avenge him, and the living will want to kill you to silence you.

Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

The man continued, "My dad told me that if you really can't lift a dead person, look on the side of the road. Maybe he's standing there. If you go over and say a few more words to him, you might be able to lift him."

"But, don't promise the dead person anything! It's hard to change things that are settled with the dead."

"At that time, I had no choice. His face was bleeding when I kowtowed to the dead man. If I couldn't move him, he would come looking for me at night! So I plucked up my courage and smeared the secret medicine on my eyes."

"As soon as I finished applying the medicine, I saw a woman dressed in black standing by the crowd."

"I can't remember what she looked like, I just remember her chin was particularly pointed, and her eyes were full of blood."

"Just as I was about to speak, the woman pointed at Fan Fang's body twice. I took it to mean she wanted me to lift the body, so I tried touching the body, and to my surprise, I was really able to lift it."

"I didn't dare to think too much at the time, so I lifted the body and put it in the car. Who knew that after I got in the car, the car wouldn't start? That was Fan Fang not letting me leave!"

"Just as I was getting anxious, I saw the woman come out from behind my car again, staring at Fan Fang with wide eyes, and my car started right up."

"As my car drove forward, the woman followed behind, all the way back to the funeral home. That's when I tied five red ropes on the mortuary bed."

"When the dead send off the dead, there must be five red ropes!"

A dead person sending off a dead person is like a ghost escorting another ghost to a certain place. This means that Lao Sun Tou (Old Sun) has to deal with two vengeful ghosts at the same time.

Fan Fang's resentment was already heavy, and with the addition of a wronged soul that could scare him, ordinary術士 (Shu Shi – magic practitioners) couldn't handle it. It's not surprising to use five red ropes as a warning.

But how would Lao Sun Tou deal with these two ghosts?
