A sinister object.

Just this one?

Zhao Huai picked up this hard, white bone and looked at it over and over again. Googlᴇ search novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

The more he looked at it, the stranger it seemed.

The white material seemed not like a turtle bone or anything like that.

Suddenly, Zhao Huai’s heart skipped a beat, and an astonishing idea came to him.

Could this thing be human bone?

With this thought, he couldn’t help but examine it more carefully, and the more he looked, the more something seemed off.

The smooth touch and the concave shape, wasn’t it the top part of a human skull?

That is to say, this stupid bird brought back a piece of human skull?

Zhao Huai curled his lips, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. “Throw it away, throw it away, holding this kind of thing is bad luck.”

Without any hesitation, Zhao Huai decided to throw the skull away.

He went to the street, found a tree at random, dug a hole with a branch, threw the bone in it, and covered it with soil.

“That should be the end of it.”

Zhao Huai said with satisfaction.

At this moment, he looked up and saw that the sky had already turned dark, night had fallen, and a bright moon hung high in the sky.

Back in the pawnshop, Zhao Huai came to the myna bird and stretched out his finger, pointing at it:

“Don’t bring any strange things back in the future, do you hear me?

“It should be something like this, do you know?”

He took out a spiritual stone and pointed to the window, the meaning was self-evident.

The myna bird’s small eyes darted around but said nothing.

“Ah, I can’t count on you.”

Zhao Huai shook his head, stood up, and prepared to continue his cultivation.

“Husband, we’re back.”

But just as he was about to sit down, he heard his wife’s voice coming from outside the shop.

He walked to the door and opened it, and Yu Qinghan walked in, saying, “We did return a bit late today, the moon’s already out, but the play was quite good.”

Today, Madam went out to watch a play, wearing a moon-white long skirt and phoenix-embroidered shoes on her feet.

Her melon seed face was full of smiles, and the plum blossom jade hairpin on her head sparkled under the moonlight at the door.

“The plays here are not as good as those in the capital city, they are not professional at all, it’s better to go watch shadow puppetry.”

Pei Xiangyun followed her, complaining with disdain in her almond eyes.

As soon as Yu Qinghan entered the door, she saw the myna bird hopping around in front of the counter. She couldn’t help but walk over and tease it with her hand.

“Tsk tsk, little bird, you’re so cute.”

Pei Xiangyun shook her head with arms crossed, “Sister, what’s so great about this bird? If you get the chance, I’ll show you my family’s eagle-hawk, now that’s impressive.”

“Ai, never mind, I’ll go back to my room now.”

Pei Xiangyun looked at Zhao Huai, scrunched her brows, and turned to her room.

Zhao Huai didn’t have time to pay attention to her, instead looked at Yu Qinghan and said:

“Madam, have you eaten? If not, I can make something else.”

Yu Qinghan smiled, “I’ve eaten, found a noodle shop outside, it was passable, what about you, husband?” “Me? I picked up some leftover lunch, it was alright.”

“Madam, you’re so white!”

As the two were talking, the myna bird suddenly shouted this.

Hearing that, Yu Qinghan’s face couldn’t help but blush, as if recalling something.

“Go away, don’t yell nonsense!” Zhao Huai immediately gave the myna bird a tap on the head to stop it from saying anything more inappropriate.

“Aiya!”

The myna bird was startled, it took off and landed on the beam of the room.

Upon hearing this sound, Yu Qinghan looked slightly surprised.

Zhao Huai awkwardly smiled and explained, “This bird flies out every day, I don’t know how many words it’s learned outside, it’s time to buy a cage for it.”

“I see.” Yu Qinghan nodded in understanding and then admonished, “Husband, go to bed early, don’t overwork yourself. Even though watching the shop is easy, sitting like this can also be exhausting.”

“Yes, I know.”

Zhao Huai agreed, and Yu Qinghan went back to her room as well.

When he looked at the counter again, he found that a shiny object had appeared at some point.

“Wow, what’s going on here?”

Zhao Huai picked up the item, his face full of astonishment.

The white, hard bone that had been buried by him had reappeared in front of him.

At this moment, Zhao Huai’s eyes narrowed, recalling the divination result he had just obtained.

Thinking of tonight, my heartache should be straight; cold rain fragrant soul hangs grave visitor.

What did this hexagram mean?

It sounded like a love poem.Now that even if I throw it away, it can find its way back, does it mean that I can’t escape this misfortune?

With this in mind, Zhao Huai looked at the Hexagram once again.

[Hexagram One: Tonight’s thoughts torment you, chilling rain and haunting incense surround the grave, if you keep it, the instruction you receive is “Misfortune”.]

Well, I can’t throw it away either.

Zhao Huai clicked his tongue, picked up the skull, opened the window, and decisively threw the skull out the window.

“Let’s see if you can come back now.”

After doing all that, Zhao Huai clapped his hands, blew out the lamp, locked the door, and closed the window.

Time to sleep.

“Madam, I’m here.”

Zhao Huai pushed open the bedroom door, saw Madam wearing a thin white gauze dress, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, combing her long black hair, which hung down over her shoulders, and her jade-like naked feet resting together.

Yu Qinghan saw Zhao Huai come in and smiled, revealing her teeth, “Husband, look. how do vou like mv dress?”

Zhao Huai gazed at it, his eyes couldn’t help but widen.

Wasn’t Madam wearing the brassiere he had bought?

He couldn’t help but grin, “Madam has a great figure, it’s very beautiful.”

On her chest, there was an embroidered pattern of a jade rabbit-shaped auspicious cloud; it had to be said that on Madam, the white rabbit embroidery looked lively and three-dimensional.

Looking at her like this, Zhao Huai felt itchy inside.

He couldn’t help but walk up to her, embrace her, and press his face directly to hers.

Soon he moved to another place.

Yu Qinghan muttered unclearly, “Blow out the lamp… Blow out the lamp…” Zhao Huai smiled faintly and gladly agreed.

The sleeping Zhao Huai soon had a dream after everything was over.

In the dream, the Moonlight captured his eyes, and black clouds loomed.

Zhao Huai found himself in a forest with thick fog all around, so dense that he couldn’t see his own hand if he reached out.

“Is this a dream?”

Zhao Huai strangely felt that he was aware he was dreaming.

But the dream didn’t end.

Since it was a dream, Zhao Huai was not afraid and walked deeper into the forest step by step.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, he saw that he didn’t cast a shadow.

Zhao Huai looked up at the moon and could only walk towards it.

As he walked, he found that the deeper he went, the thinner the fog became.

Eventually, he could clearly see the path in front of him.

Zhao Huai picked up a branch by the roadside, scraped it against a tree trunk, and muttered,

“Is this dream too real?”

He didn’t know when he would wake up, so he just kept walking aimlessly.

Ahead, a small stream gradually appeared. As Zhao Huai walked by, his feet felt sticky.

That was the thin mud soaked out by the water seeping into the soil.

Zhao Huai thought that the road ahead probably had no end, but after passing the stream, he surprisingly came across a wooden house.

At that moment, Zhao Huai stopped in his tracks, and his pupils couldn’t help but constrict.

In the distance, about a dozen meters away, there was a person.

As he slowly walked closer, he gradually saw the figure’s back.

It was a woman wearing a white dress, crouching on the ground with her back to him. Beside her was a white paper lantern burning with a flame.

Strangely, the woman was holding a branch and digging into the ground, as if searching for something.

The atmosphere at this moment was incredibly eerie and oppressive, with a cold wind blowing gently by.

Zhao Huai’s breath caught slightly, for he could no longer see the black ring on his hand.

He also couldn’t sense the True Qi within his body.

But this was just a dream! What was there to be afraid of?

Despite his hesitation, Zhao Huai didn’t approach. After all, who hasn’t seen a ghost film before?

He knew better than to provoke, as he was no fool!

He silently watched from behind as the Lantern Woman dug at the sand.

The scene was eerily quiet.

He kept observing the details on the Lantern Woman.

This woman had a slender figure, and although it was covered by the white dress, with years of experience, Zhao Huai could tell that this thin frame belonged to a great beauty.

Could it really be a ghost?

At the very moment that Zhao Huai thought this, a distant yet polite voice spoke up.

“Excuse me, have you seen my husband?”
