You Said We Were Going to the Countryside to Start a Business, So Why Are You Hunting for Corpses and Ghosts?

Celestial Master Li Mu transmigrated to the 1990s and became a university graduate with the same name. He returned to the countryside to care for his elderly grandmother, and just then a teacher in the village fell seriously ill, so Li Mu was hired as a substitute. One afternoon, a student rushed into the office and told Li Mu that a student had gone swimming in the river and never come back up. Li Mu headed straight for the river. He took out a talisman, chanted an incantation, then pointed to a deep section near the riverbank. “He’s not over there. He’s right here.” Sure enough, the people searching for the body spotted a boy standing at the bottom of the river in the deep water near the bank. No matter how hard they pulled, they couldn’t move him. In the end, Li Mu had to go into the river and bring him up himself. One night, a man from a neighboring village went out to visit a nearby village and never returned. An old man who had been working in the fields and came home late said he saw someone playing in Dead Man’s Valley as he passed by. He could clearly see only one person, yet he heard what sounded like several people laughing and chatting. Terrified, the old man hurried home. He then fell seriously ill. The next day, Li Mu took a peachwood sword and went to Dead Man’s Valley. In a cave, he found the man, who was already dead. Before long, everyone for miles around knew that Li Mu was not only an educated man, but also a fortune-teller and ghost hunter.
