Chapter 4

I wasn’t some professional master of mysticism. I was just a truck driver.

But as Master Tian had said, I had an Asura Appearance, and I was born with a hard fate and heavy blood energy.

In the years I drove big rigs, I often took rough back roads and ran into all kinds of strange things.

And in recent years, to pay off my debts and make a living, I’d also come into contact with plenty of crooked, forbidden methods.

I wasn’t afraid of those things. If they were vicious, I was even more vicious.

When I was young, I met an old Taoist priest who gave me a Soul-Whip, a weapon specially used to counter baleful spirits.

Back then, that old Taoist told me, “You have an Asura Appearance and a Bodhisattva heart. You’re destined to make your living in the yin-yang trade.”

I’m thirty-eight now. My parents died of illness, and my wife passed away long ago. At home, I’m left with only a son, a daughter, and my old mother-in-law.

My family is everything to me. Jiang Shuang saved my daughter, so I couldn’t just stand by and watch her die.

These past few days, I’d been helping Jiang Shuang investigate what she’d been through.

In her nightmares, Jiang Shuang had seen five coffins arranged in a circle inside an earthen pit.

Coincidentally, three days ago, I heard that five coffins had been dug up at this construction site.

Come to think of it, three months ago, when Jiang Shuang first started having nightmares, was exactly when work on this site began.

We also found an experienced master to take a look at Jiang Shuang’s situation.

That master said Jiang Shuang had a deep connection to those five coffins, and this time she would be fighting for her life.

The only way out was to send the coffins back to their hometown.

That was why I brought Jiang Shuang to this construction site.

This place had originally been a huge shopping mall, built twenty years ago.

I heard the original owner came from Hong Kong or Taiwan, and when it was being built, they invited many masters to calculate the feng shui.

After the mall opened, business boomed. It had once been the most bustling place in the city.

But that prosperity didn’t last forever.

A few years after it opened, rumors of hauntings started spreading.

And as the stories grew more and more outrageous, little by little, nobody wanted to go there anymore.

About five or six years ago, the mall shut down for good.

Now the city was going to build a park here, and every building would be torn down.

And the place where those five coffins were dug up was the flowerbed right in front of the mall.

Back then, that flowerbed was also one of the mall’s landmarks.

Seen from above, it looked like an antique-style gate.
