The bride in the bronze mirror had a head but no body, red lips, a pale face, a smiling expression and a crying voice, singing in a babbling childish manner.
“My dear husband, lift my veil and look at my face.”
“In Yinshan Village, girls marry at the age of 16 and then go to the grave.”
“My dear husband, push open my coffin and look at my bones.”
“In Yinshan Village, the elderly enter the water at 82 and then go to the grave.”
The voice of the bride in the mirror became more and more resentful. Her eyes rolled around as she stared at Bai Liu. The corpse in the coffin opened its clasped hands and slowly raised them as if trying to tear off its veil.
The bride continued singing,
“A Taoist priest came and said the old man’s death was justified and the young woman’s death was well deserved.”
“Thus, the people of Yinshan Village died like this, generation after generation.”
Kong Xuyang shouted sharply, “Don’t let her tear off the veil, or we will all die!”After saying that, Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi rushed forward carrying the coffin lid, pushing Bai Liu aside. Bai Liu quickly reached for the bottom of the coffin and seemed to have grabbed something out. However, Yang Zhi and Kong Xuyang, who were in a state of panic, didn’t notice it at all. They forcefully closed the coffin lid.
There was a rustling sound of silk fabrics rubbing against each other in the coffin, the sound of the bronze mirror coming out vaguely, turning into a distorted and eerie tune, like a man with a deep voice scolding,
“Those who turn their backs on their hometown, forget their ancestors, or show no respect for their forebears, engaging in petty crimes like the tricks of a rooster’s cry or a dog’s theft—”
“For eternity, you will never leave Yinshan Village alive!”
Kong Xuyang broke out in cold sweat. He used half of his body to press down the still shaking coffin lid. Just as he was about to bite his finger to draw the [Ansha Curse], Kong Xuyang’s face turned pale and he froze.
Oh no!
To draw the talisman, one needs red cinnabar or human blood; moreover, it must be the blood of a boy with sufficient yang energy. The last time he came to this instance, he hadn’t slept with a woman yet, but now he’s no longer a virgin!
His blood can no longer be used to draw talismans!
Kong Xuyang quickly turned his gaze to Yang Zhi, but his face became gloomy again.
Yang Zhi had also indulged in the same, making his blood unusable as well! [1]
The voice in the coffin sounded like a man or a woman singing softly, and the coffin was shaking more and more violently. It seemed that the thing inside was about to break free and run out.
Kong Xuyang was so anxious that his veins popped out. He turned around, asking Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng, “Have you two ever slept with a woman?!”
Several question marks suddenly appeared on Mu Sicheng’s frightened expression, “HAH?!”
Kong Xuyang roared, “Don’t fucking ‘hah’ me! Have you ever slept with anyone? Whether one of you two is a virgin can save four of our lives!”
Mu Sicheng who was also angry, “How should I know! I don’t remember anything!”
Kong Xuyang: “…”
Yang Zhi: “…”
Fuck, I forgot these two idiots’ memories were swallowed.
Seeing Kong Xuyang reddening with anxiety, Mu Sicheng touched his chin and tried to recall, “I don’t think I am one, right? After all, I’m so handsome…”
Kong Xuyang: “…”
Yang Zhi: “…”
No matter whether Mu Sicheng was telling the truth or lying, Yang Zhi and Kong Xuyang felt uneasy anyway.
They risked their lives playing the game just to finally lose their virginity! But this fucking bastard managed it just by relying on his looks!
Bai Liu picked up a piece of porcelain from somewhere, slashed his palm, and blood gushed out. He walked forward and stretched out his bloody hand in front of Kong Xuyang.
Kong Xuyang was confused and overjoyed, “…You’re a virgin?”
Bai Liu pondered for a moment and said, “I probably have never slept with a woman.”
Kong Xuyang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and dipped it in Bai Liu’s blood to draw the talisman, and then he heard Bai Liu slowly add, “But I’m not sure if I have slept with a man.”
Bai Liu looked at Kong Xuyang, who had a dull face, with sincere eyes, “Can my blood still be used after sleeping with a man?”
Kong Xuyang took two deep breaths, then roared, “No!!! You are filthy!!!”
Kong Xuyang was so angry that his eyes turned red. He felt that if Bai Liu said a few more words, he’d be so aggrieved that he would cry on the spot.
Fuck!! What kind of people are these?
Kong Xuyang has never hated himself so much for not being a virgin in his life, otherwise he would not be here being controlled by Bai Liu!
But there was no way. Things had come to this point. Bai Liu might not be dirty, but he himself was already as dirty as could be. His blood certainly could not be used.
Kong Xuyang suppressed the heart attack, reached out his hand to touch the blood on Bai Liu’s palm, and drew a successful talisman on the coffin in a flamboyant manner. Then he held his breath and waited with a solemn expression. His hands trembled slightly and sweat appeared on his temples.
Yang Zhi couldn’t help but close his eyes and pray with his hands –
——Bai Liu, please don’t have slept with a man, Bai Liu, please don’t have slept with a man! Merciful Bodhisattva, savior of those in distress, please let Bai Liu still be a virgin!
Perhaps the Bodhisattva really heard Yang Zhi’s sincere prayers. The shaking of the coffin gradually stopped, and the talisman on it faintly emitted a soft golden light.
Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi, who were sweating profusely, let out a long breath and slid to the ground in exhaustion.
Bai Liu was stroking his chin beside them, with a look of enlightenment on his face, as if he had gained new information, “It turns out that I have never slept with a man.”
Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi, who were supporting each other to stand up, were so shocked when they heard this that they almost fell to their knees again.
Why do you say this in such a surprised tone?!
How the fuck do you not even know whether you’ve slept with a man or not?!
Kong Xuyang took a deep breath, turned around and sternly warned Bai Liu, “If you want to wait until the seventh day, don’t fucking touch these coffins!”
“I can leave these coffins alone.” Bai Liu said sincerely, “But in exchange, what can you give me to keep these coffins alone?”
Kong Xuyang was stunned for a moment. He looked at Bai Liu in disbelief, “Are you fucking threatening me with these coffins?!”
Bai Liu smiled, “How can you say it’s a threat? We are all from the same hometown. When fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears. I am making a deal with you, my fellow villager. I would not make such a deal with ordinary people. This is called keeping the wealth within the family.”
Kong Xuyang was truly angered to the point his eyes were filled with tears. His eyes were red and his shoulders were shaking. He pointed at Bai Liu and said with gritted teeth, “Fuck your mom! You’re using these coffins as hostages to threaten me…”
Bai Liu corrected Kong Xuyang’s statement slowly, “It’s corpse matter.”
Kong Xuyang’s shoulders shook, from his shoulders to his wrists, then his hands, and finally his fingers were shaking with anger, “You are awesome, you are capable, Bai Liu, if you have the ability, just keep moving, and then we will all die together!”
Bai Liu smiled amicably, “If I can get something valuable in return, I don’t mind dying.”
After saying that, Bai Liu walked towards the coffin that had just been suppressed by Kong Xuyang.
Seeing Bai Liu really walking towards the coffin without hesitation, Kong Xuyang got really angry. He grabbed Mu Sicheng and held a piece of broken porcelain against Mu Sicheng’s throat viciously, shouting hoarsely, “Bai Liu, if you take another step forward, I will kill your good teammate!”
“You don’t want to see your teammate die in front of you, do you?!”
Bai Liu stopped and looked at Mu Sicheng for a while, then suddenly realized, “So he and I are teammates?”
Then, Bai Liu turned around and waved his hand indifferently, “Let go.”
Kong Xuyang asked anxiously, “He is your bound teammate, do you not care?!”
Bai Liu said without even turning his head, “He doesn’t look very smart, and he is bound to me. I don’t like having teammates like this. If you don’t do it, I’ll do it myself later.”
Kong Xuyang: “…”
Mu Sicheng: “…”

The author has something to say:
Mu Sicheng: It was a wrong decision after all!!

[1] This was left vague as it can be interpreted in two ways from the raws:
1. He also indulged in sleeping with a woman like Kong Xuyang, thus his blood also isn’t pure enough.
2. The phrase literally means “indulged in meat” and in some taoist practices, certain rituals or spells are more effective or pure if a person abstains from eating certain foods.
