The Weight of the Past

　　Hearing what I said, Zhang Yu-cheng was already sweating profusely, and Zhang Yun-yao looked equally nervous.

　　After a while, Zhang Yu-cheng looked at me and said, "Master Wu, I don't really understand all this. You tell us what to do, and we'll do it. Just solve the problem. If you need me to do anything, just tell me."

　　"First, burn the wooden boxes and the contents inside. Then, choose a good time to start digging up the grave. 

　　Dig out all the coffins from this graveyard, keep them at home for three days, and then choose a good grave to bury them again. This will ensure that your Zhang family will have a happy and prosperous future." I said seriously.

　　"When is the best time to start digging?" Zhang Yu-cheng asked.

　　I calculated and said, "Tonight at midnight is the best time."

　　"Okay, that's it then. Let's go back to the old house and rest. We'll come back here at midnight to start digging." Zhang Yu-cheng said.

　　I nodded and then got into Zhang Yu-cheng's car with Hu Zi, returning to his old house in Yongfeng County.

　　Even the old house had been renovated by Zhang Yu-cheng. The yard was very big, and cars could drive in.

　　When we returned to Zhang Yu-cheng's old house, Zhang Yu-cheng's son, Zhang Yun-liang, was asleep in the house.

　　Seeing his son, Zhang Yu-cheng was immediately angry. 

　　He had been holding a grudge against his son for offending me earlier, so he called him up and they had a big fight, father and son parting on bad terms.

　　I asked Zhang Yun-yao, "Is your brother always like this?"

　　Zhang Yun-yao immediately showed a hint of apology on her face and hurriedly said:

　　"I'm sorry, Master Wu. What happened before was my brother's fault. He didn't know your identity, so he said those things. Please don't mind him. 

　　When I was young, my dad was busy with his business and didn't have time to discipline him, which made him a little bit impulsive and often offends people. If it weren't for my father, he would probably have been beaten to death."

　　Hearing her say this, I almost laughed.

　　 It was the first time I had heard a sister talk about her brother like this.

　　Then, I asked again, "When did he start having nightmares?"

　　"More than twenty days ago. He has nightmares every night, dreaming that he's jumping off a building, and every time he dies very tragically. 

　　My dad took him to the hospital, and they did all kinds of tests, but they couldn't find anything wrong. 

　　They also saw a psychologist, and the psychologist said that he was having nightmares because of too much stress.

　　 But my brother just eats, drinks, and plays around, looking for girlfriends all the time. I don't see how he could be under any stress." 

　　Zhang Yun-yao was also very puzzled by this.

　　At this moment, I couldn't help but think about it.

　　 I felt that there was something wrong with the Zhang family's ancestral grave, and it might have a direct relationship with Zhang Yun-liang?

　　The time when Zhang Yun-liang started having nightmares seems to be not long after the Zhang family's ancestral grave had problems.

　　I thought maybe it wasn't that the Zhang family's ancestral grave had problems and then Zhang Yun-liang became like this.

　　The problem with the ancestral grave, while it would have a big impact on the Zhang family, causing disasters to occur, would not cause mental problems.

　　However, this was just my guess, and I wasn't sure.

　　We rested for a while in the Zhang family's old house. 

　　Zhang Yu-cheng even prepared a table of food for us .

　　As night fell, midnight was approaching.

　　At this time, Zhang Yu-cheng suddenly had a little problem.

　　I don't know if it was because his son had angered him earlier, but he had a high blood pressure attack and was dizzy and unable to stand, making it impossible for him to go to the grave site to start digging with us.

　　I told Zhang Yu-cheng to rest at home, just let someone in charge go with us.

　　Zhang Yu-cheng asked Zhang Yun-yao to go with me, and also asked his son, Zhang Yun-liang, to go along.

　　I guess Zhang Yu-cheng was worried about his daughter being with me, so he asked his son to accompany her.

　　Actually, I was reluctant to have the boy go with me, afraid that he would cause trouble.

　　This guy is good at ruining things but not at doing them.

　　But Zhang Yu-cheng specifically instructed his son, that he had to cooperate with me on everything. 

　　If anything went wrong, he would break his leg.

　　Zhang Yun-liang agreed, but his face clearly showed that he was not happy.

　　I had heard Zhang Yun-yao say before that this guy, in order not to have nightmares at night, would try to stay up all night, and sleep soundly during the day.

　　This way, his nightmares were much less frequent.

　　So, this guy was very energetic at night.

　　Our group, with eight workers, soon returned to the Zhang family's ancestral grave.

　　These eight workers were actually very reluctant to do the job of moving the grave.

　　Especially after what happened in the daytime, they had seen with their own eyes that Zhang Yu-cheng almost lost his life.

　　So, Zhang Yu-cheng doubled their wages, and they came along.

　　After nightfall, the Zhang family's ancestral grave looked a bit eerie. 

　　There was a white fog swirling around the grave, which made people feel a bit uneasy.

　　As soon as Zhang Yun-liang arrived, he took out his phone and started playing happily, not caring about anything else.

　　This spoiled brat, I wanted to punch him.

　　After a while, I estimated that the time was almost right, so I found a spot and told the workers to start digging up the grave.

　　These workers were all villagers from nearby villages, who were used to farming and had strong backs. 

　　It only took them about an hour to dig up two coffins.

　　However, as they dug, blood continued to seep out from the grave. 

　　But the workers were already used to it, they had experienced it all in the daytime, so they were not as afraid as before.

　　The coffins were probably very old, they had already decayed, and when the coffins were lifted out of the pit, the coffin boards were broken, revealing the corpses inside.

　　When the workers saw the corpses in the coffins, they were all taken aback.

　　As I said before, this is a "Shade Corpse Land", and the bodies buried here will not rot for thousands of years.

　　The coffins had decayed beyond recognition, but the corpses inside were perfectly preserved, as if they were sleeping.

　　The first two coffins that were dug up were of a man and a woman, both very old, and should be ancestors of the Zhang family.

　　Because Zhang Yu-cheng knew beforehand that he might have to move the graves, he specially prepared several new coffins and placed them at the grave site.

　　So, as soon as these two coffins were brought out, I told the workers to lift the corpses out of the broken coffins and place them in the new coffins.

　　Just as the two coffins had been lifted out, Zhang Yun-yao suddenly received a phone call and immediately looked nervous.
