When the seventh corpse was retrieved, Huang He suddenly spoke.
A coffin boat floated under the Yellow River, with Yu Yubai's name engraved on the coffin lid. The people who were collecting the corpse were all frightened and crazy, saying that it was a "living corpse asking for life" and that if they touched it, their whole family would be killed. But Yu Yubai smiled - no one knew that he was born to hear the last words of thirty-six thousand corpses under the Yellow River.
He squatted on the bow and said something to the coffin boat.
The coffin lid exploded on the spot.
Later, the old people in the nine towns along the river said that that night, the water of the Yellow River backed up for three minutes. Only Yu Yubai knew that the coffin contained not a corpse, but the first "Secret River Suppressing Curse" buried by Emperor Jianwen himself six hundred years ago. What he saw on the boat was himself squatting on a dragon chair, with a river of gods and Buddhas kneeling in front of him.
