Old Man Li and Li Guangyou were panicked, "What are we going to do? What are we going to do?"

They were both ordinary people, and they had no way to deal with this situation, making them panic.

Soon, both looked to Xiao Mu for help.

Xiao Mu said, "You two took the portrait away because you encountered something that you couldn't solve on your own and needed the power of the portrait to suppress it. Sir, Mr. Li, may I visit your ancestral grave?"

"What? Ancestral grave?"

Old Man Li looked surprised, seemingly thinking of inconceivable events.

"Why? Can't I go?"

Xiao Mu noticed the change in Old Man Li's expression and asked.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Li Guangyou also noticed the change on Old Man Li's face and urgently asked with concern.

"Ah!"

Old Man Li sighed, "Maybe I should have thought of it sooner. The night before last, my father came to me in a dream and told me not to go to his grave, no matter what. Now, I know what's going on... there's a problem with my father's grave."

Li Guangyou looked worried upon hearing this. Had his grandfather already known there would be trouble?

"Sir, Mr. Li, can you please lead me to your family's burial ground? I want to see your grandfather's grave."

Xiao Mu instructed.

"Little Mu, did you discover something?"

Old Man Li asked with a worried expression.

Gathering his thoughts, Xiao Mu asked, "Sir, Mr. Li, do you remember the other night when your relatives said they heard someone moving heavy objects in the courtyard?"

Old Man Li and Li Guangyou glanced at each other, quickly nodding. However, their faces involuntarily turned grave at Xiao Mu's words, sensing that something was amiss.

Xiao Mu went on, "Do you know why your doorstep suddenly broke that night?"

Old Man Li and Li Guangyou both shook their heads. They were truly clueless.

When their doorstep was broken, they had assumed it was just a coincidence.

Xiao Mu continued: "Do you know what was actually missing from your house?"

Old Man Li and Li Guangyou again shook their heads.

Li Guangyou had once suspected something was stolen from their house and had searched thoroughly in the old courtyard. Everything was there, nothing missing.

Looking at Li Guangyou and Old Man Li, sympathy crossed Xiao Mu's face. This father and son probably couldn't imagine what they had lost.

Once they knew what was missing, the father and son would likely be seriously shocked.

Thinking about this, Xiao Mu's face turned solemn and he announced seriously: "Sir, Mr. Li, what I suspect the Evil Ghost stole from your house is likely your grandfather's coffin."

"What? My grandfather's coffin? Mr. Mu, what are we going to do?"

"My dad's coffin? An Evil Ghost stole my dad's coffin? I...I..."

Both Li Guangyou and Old Man Li were stunned, at a complete loss.

Xiao Mu's words left them in disbelief. The theft of a coffin was too terrifying, even to think about.

"Sir, Mr. Li, do you remember this?"

As he spoke, Xiao Mu pulled out the small piece of stone he'd found after killing the Evil Ghost and showed it to the Li duo.

"A small stone?"

Old Man Li looked blankly at Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu had asked him about the small stone as soon as he had entered their house, but at that time, he didn't know where it had come from or what it had to do with him.

"Is it this?"

The shocked expression on Li Guangyou's face was more evident now.

The small stone - Li Guangyou knew Xiao Mu had obtained it after killing the Evil Ghost. At that moment, he didn't recognize it

Now it seems that there must be something about this small stone.

Xiao Mu explained, "Sir, Mr. Li, this small stone, I suspect, came from your grandfather's coffin, knocked off as the Evil Ghost stole the coffin."

"This...this fell off my grandfather's coffin?"

"This...this was truly chipped off my father's coffin?"

The father and son of the Li family were shocked as they looked at Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu handed the small stone to Old Man Li.

Old Man Li took the small stone, looking terrified.

If this really fell from his father's coffin, he couldn't dare to imagine what had happened at his father's grave.

Xiao Mu added, "Old Man, Mr. Li, that night, the threshold of your old courtyard was broken because it possesses a peculiar divine power that prevents evil spirits from stealing something from your house."

"The evil spirit wanted to steal the old man's coffin, and had to break the threshold, otherwise the coffin couldn't be carried out."

"Mr. Li checked the old courtyard and didn't find anything missing, because the thing that was missing wasn't in the courtyard, but was the coffin of the old man."

"As for the noises your relatives heard in the courtyard, it's because the old man lived his whole life in the old courtyard and the grave scene was merely reflected there."

Old Man Li and Li Guangyou were dumbfounded, unable to speak.

What Xiao Mu said was reasonable, they couldn't help but believe it.

"Guangyou, you drive Little Mu to the grave to have a look."

Old Man Li immediately instructed Li Guangyou.

Thinking that there might be a problem with his father's tomb, his heart was more anxious than anyone else's. If it wasn't for his frail body and the worry of holding them back, the old man would definitely accompany them.

"Alright, dad."

Li Guangyou responded, then looked apologetically at Xiao Mu, "Mr. Mu, you see, we haven't even had a meal yet, and we are troubling you again..."

He said with an embarrassed face.

Xiao Mu nonchalantly said, "Let's buy some food and eat on the way."

"That would be too much trouble for you."

Li Guangyou apologized and was full of gratitude at the same time.

"Thank you, Little Mu. When you return, this old man will prepare a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for you."

Old Man Li said gratefully.

Xiao Mu and Li Guangyou bought some food and ate a little on the way. Li Guangyou then drove to his grandfather's tomb.

The cemetery where Li Guangyou's grandfather was buried was not very close to the Li house, but luckily the Li family lived near the outskirts, so they were already close to the fields.

Even so, it took more than an hour to drive there.

"My grandfather's grave is up ahead."

Outside of a forest, Li Guangyou pointed to a spot ahead.

"What's that?"

After getting out of the car, Xiao Mu looked ahead.

"Cluck Cluck!"

A wild chicken ran out of the forest like a madman, obviously terrified.

As soon as it came out of the forest, the wild chicken fell to the ground, dead on the spot.

The chicken's body was pitch black, as if it had been stricken with an extremely powerful curse.

"Is this...corpse poison?"

Staring at the chicken, Xiao Mu's pupils contracted.

The chicken was clearly struck by corpse poison, contaminated with some kind of evil energy, to the extent it died immediately upon fleeing the forest.

"How did this chicken die, did it get poisoned?"

Li Guangyou also noticed the dead chicken, seeing its black body, he couldn't help but speculate that it was poisoned, as he spoke he tried to approach for a closer look.

"Don't go there!"

Xiao Mu shouted sharply, immediately stopping him.

Li Guangyou was just an ordinary person. If he rashly approached the chicken, there was a high chance he would be infected by the corpse poison on the chicken and fall seriously ill when he returned.
