The story takes place in the late Ming Dynasty. There is a small mountain village next to the Yellow River . There is a young man named Si Chen in the village. His profession is extraordinary. He is a corpse-hunter who deals with dead people all year round.
Si Chen's family's ancestors were all corpse-catching people, and they were quite famous in the local area. But for some reason, when he was very young, his parents suddenly died, and his grandfather suddenly announced that he would retire from the world and never go into the water to catch corpse again. Si Chen thought that the craftsmanship he inherited in the family should be cut off until he was eight years old, and his grandfather took a middle-aged man home.
This person's surname is Chen. Si Chen remembers that everyone likes to call him Chen Lazi, because he has legs that are not very flexible and he limps while walking. However, Chen Cutezi is very good at water and is a grandfather's closed disciple. Afterwards, Si Chen recognized Chen Crook as his godfather according to his grandfather's wishes, and under his guidance, he became a corpse-hardman.
Si Chen is very insightful and became a master at the age of eighteen. Seeing this, Chen Cutezi did not continue to stay. After bidding farewell to the grandfather and grandson, he left and said that he would stay away from the Yellow River and travel around the world. Although Si Chen was reluctant to let it go, he did not stop it. But what he didn't expect was that the accident happened not long after his godfather left.
On the evening of that day, Si Chen was about to take the boat home, but suddenly he saw a dark shadow appearing on the river surface. After he rode the boat closer, he realized that it was a black coffin that was all black and somewhat rotten. As the corpse fisherman, Si Chen took it out without thinking. He thought it was just an ordinary coffin, but after careful examination, he found that this coffin was not simple.
This coffin has an extraordinary texture and looks extremely thick on the outside. There are many strange patterns carved above the coffin. On both sides of the coffin is a wonderful carving painting with mountains of gold and silver on it, and many men and women. They are not wearing clothes and their expressions are crazy, as if they are dancing. After seeing these things, Si Chen became more and more confused, until he walked around in front of the coffin and saw five big characters - the daughter of the general.
It turns out that the owner of this coffin is the daughter of a general. No wonder this coffin is so luxurious. Si Chen was very happy. If this was the case, it means that the burial items in the coffin were definitely not ordinary items. As long as he took them out, he would get rich.
But Si Chen was not happy for long, but his face drooped because he found that there were many black lines around the coffin. These black lines not only did not disappear in the water, but became more and more obvious. Si Chen's face changed slightly, and he unconsciously whispered: "Mo Dou Coffin!"
It turned out that those black lines were Mo Dou Lines. The reason why they were bounced on the coffin was to seal the yin energy in the coffin. From this point of view, the corpse in this coffin must have changed. These were taught to him by his godfather Chen Cuzi. This was the first time Si Chen saw Mo Dou Coffin.
After discovering these, Si Chen's first reaction was to push the coffin back into the water. But then he thought that as the corpse fisherman, his family has become increasingly poor over the years, and his grandfather's health has become worse and worse. There are more and more places to spend money at home. Instead of being poor for a lifetime, it is better to keep a block. Thinking of this, Si Chen had a bad idea. After returning to the shore, he secretly hid the coffin in the nearby grass. After returning home, he did not tell his grandfather, and was preparing to open the coffin until dawn.
At night, he was tired all day and fell asleep in the morning, but he had a strange dream. In his dream, he saw his godfather Chen Cuzi who had been separated for many years. Just when he was happy, he suddenly saw a white figure appearing behind his godfather.Immediately afterwards, a harsh laughter sounded, and a pair of miserable hands pinched Chen Cuzi's neck and dragged him into a river. Chen Cuzi struggled desperately, but it was useless. Si Chen wanted to save the person, but found that he could not move at all. He could only watch his godfather drown in front of him...
After dawn, Si Chen woke up from his dream. He thought it was just a dream, but the next second, he suddenly heard his grandfather's scream. He ran out of the door and saw that his godfather was lying at his door, soaked all over, his eyes wide open, and he was obviously dead. As the corpse-catching man, Si Chen recognized at a glance that his godfather was drowned. What's even more strange is that his godfather was holding some water algae in his hand, which were only found in the Yellow River. But a few years ago, Chen Cutezi said that if he wanted to go to a place far away from the Yellow River, how could he drown in the Yellow River and was sent to their doorstep.
Si Chen was full of doubts, and his grandfather did not say a word, but just silently ordered Si Chen to restrain his godfather's body. It was not until he finished cooking for his godfather that he remembered the coffin he hid by the river. He hurried over, but found that the coffin had been opened and there was nothing inside, but on the nearby lawn, there was a row of bloody footprints leading straight to the Yellow River.
After inspection, he found that the coffin was not pried open, but was pushed away directly from the inside. He was shocked and realized that he had caused trouble. The things in the coffin had escaped. This was a problem.
Just when Si Chen was at a loss, grandpa’s situation was not optimistic. His physical condition is getting worse and worse, and he is always in a daze and nonsense, saying something: "She is coming, she is coming."
Here Si Chen has to take care of his grandfather and search for the whereabouts of the things in the coffin. For this reason, he specially asked someone to find an Taoist priest to help. The Taoist priest discovered through his breath that the things in the coffin had become zombies, and his godfather Chen Crook was killed by the zombie. Afterwards, the Taoist priest followed and wanted to find the walking corpse, but found that the breath actually came to Si Chen's home.
Taoist face changed suddenly. He immediately counted on his fingers and said, "When will the revenge be done? Go back and ask your grandfather about this. Alas, it's all caused by greed!"
Si Chen was confused after hearing this, but he rushed home immediately and told his grandfather about the recent situation. After hearing this, my grandfather's face changed drastically. After a while of silence, he said, "A Chen, you don't know. That coffin was thrown into the Yellow River by my godfather and I. Unexpectedly, you will catch it again. This is all fate!"
It turns out that when my grandfather was young, he was determined to make a lot of money, but the job of catching corpses was a low-ranking one and was looked down upon. Just when he had no way out, he met Chen Cuzi. Chen Cuzi was actually a tomb robber before. He found out that a general's daughter had just passed away and there were many valuable burial objects in the tomb. As soon as the two of them decided to pour out the general's daughter's tomb and dug out the coffin.
But when the two opened the coffin, they were stunned. The female corpse in the coffin did not rot, and she suddenly opened her eyes and rushed towards the two of them. Fortunately, the two of them were prepared for a long time, so they escaped and pressed the female corpse into the coffin again. The two of them knew they had met a zombie, so they planned to stop and put the coffin back. As a result, the next morning, the coffin appeared inexplicably at their doorstep.
The two realized that they had disturbed the purity of the zombie and were targeted. In order to survive, the two invited a master, sealed the coffin with an ink bucket, and threw it into the Yellow River. In order not to be discovered, grandfather retired early and stopped going into the water. Chen Crook hurriedly fled after teaching Si Chen. Unfortunately, the coffin was actually caught by Si Chen.
After saying that, grandfather turned his head and looked out the window, showing a look of horror. Si Chen also looked along his eyes and saw a woman in white standing under a tree not far away. Her face was pale and her hair was disheveled. After noticing the eyes of the two, she showed a strange smile.
That night, grandfather locked Si Chen in the room and then went silently to the Yellow River. The next morning, Si Chen found his grandfather's body at the door of his house. He was also drowned, the same as Chen Crook, but the coffin disappeared.
