Yellow River Ghost Coffin 2

The latest work by the author of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles," following the hot sales of "Yellow River Ghost Coffin 1," now brings the second wave.

This is a legend that is simply unbelievable—

Buried beneath the Yellow River are not dragons, not the River Suppressing Seal... nor are there the legendary divine artifacts. The iron chains that have not corroded for a thousand years are meant only to lock up the legendary demon king Chiyou's body. A curse is left on the coffin: Descendants of China, do not open the coffin!

The Yellow River! Is it the mother river, the birthplace of humanity, or a watery prison confining the demon king? Inside the dragon coffin at the bottom of the Yellow River, what is truly buried—a dragon, or a demon? In the primordial era, the Taiyi Five Elements accompanied by the gentle smile of the Plain Girl, brewing countless millennia of mysteries—who, after all, is the true ancestor of the Chinese people? In the cycles of crossing and reincarnation, where do the persistent souls seek the eternal heavenly gate...

Yellow River Ghost Coffin 3 "The Millennium Ghost Tomb"

Ever since I saw the postmortem photo of William Carter, I've been in a daze. I'm afraid of ghosts—naturally, I'm also afraid of the now-corpse-mutated William Carter, but I'm even more afraid that the cause of his death will be discovered. After all, he died in my room, and afterward, I borrowed Young Master's tricycle to dump his corpse outside. Now, as long as the police do a little investigation into the last time and place this person appeared, the suspicion will quickly point straight at me.

In my daze, I don't even know how I got back to the room **prepared for me. Now we're living here, and ** is still fairly polite. The living conditions in the room are a bit better than Young Master's guesthouse—at least there aren't rat droppings on the quilt.

Back in the room, I already felt extremely tired—lately, I don't know what's wrong. Ever since returning from the Guangchuan King Mausoleum, it's as if the taut nerve in me finally relaxed, and I've been especially prone to drowsiness, often falling asleep as soon as I hit the bed. But the nightmares are relentless, making me feel miserable.

I collapsed onto the bed, recalling the photo I had just seen in the meeting room—William Carter has been dead for over half a year, so why hasn't the body decayed? Why did it appear at the entrance of Nangong? What exactly does he want?

Book One: The River Suppressing Seal

Prologue

This is a story so bizarre it's hard to believe.

The story begins with a strange tale about the Yellow River.

Many people who live by the Yellow River, people of my age, have heard many strange anecdotes about the river from the elders. Most of us experience the power, changeability, and mystery of this mother river through these stories, and thus, in our ignorance, we develop a sense of awe toward the Yellow River.

But this particular tale is different from other legendary stories.

The first time I heard this tale was in the summer thirteen years ago. The storyteller was my now-deceased Grandma. After I finished listening, I asked Grandma whether the story was true or not. Grandma smiled and said something to me, but unfortunately, I didn't remember what she said.

The incident happened in a drought year before the Liberation.

In the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, there was an inconspicuous little village. The village had no farmland or special products; all the villagers made a living by reselling the Yellow River's sand.
