Grandpa said that there are three things people don't do when fishing for corpses: not fishing during thunderstorms, not pregnant women, and not fishing for corpses with their eyes open. But on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, Xie Zhiqiu committed all three of these crimes in front of corpses floating in the river. Not only did he fish it out, he also lifted the red hijab of the thousand-year-old female corpse - she opened her eyes to him.
From then on, his left eye could see coffins thousands of meters underwater, and his right eye could see through the aura of death wrapped around living people. The Dragon Prince of the Yellow River came to propose marriage, and Jiuyou's death-defying posters were plastered all over the courtyard wall.
Others would go around when encountering evil, but Xie Zhiqiu specifically picked out the treacherous places to prey on. Dragon coffins were nailed into the river, corpse kilns were made at the bottom of the Yellow River, corpse spots appeared on living people... When corpses floating in the water for thousands of years came ashore and kowtowed, Xie Zhiqiu smiled while holding the soul-locking hook: "The secrets of this river are enough for me to fish for a lifetime."
