Notes on Retrieving Corpses: Don't Touch Things in the Yellow River

My grandfather died in the Yellow River. He never saw people or corpses alive. He only left me a shop near the river, a "Notes on Retrieving Corpses", and three iron rules written in blood: Never open the shop door after dark, never look into the eyes of the corpse when fishing for it, and never touch anything in the Yellow River. I just thought it was the superstition of the elders, until I took my first business and fished out a female body in red that had been soaked for seven days. The moment I accidentally looked at each other, I completely broke my precept. Since then, there have been screams and cries knocking on the door in the middle of the night, black threads spreading in the whites of the eyes, and villagers missing one after another. Only then did I understand that every rule in the handbook was a life-saving talisman that the Chen family had used to seal the river for generations. As the secret scroll in the handbook is awakened by the water of the Yellow River, the Shenyan City that has sunk at the bottom of the river for three thousand years, the iron law trap that has been tampered with, and the shocking injustice of the ancestors who sunk into the river are revealed step by step. And what I broke was never a rule, but a seal of three thousand years of grudges. What was hidden under the Yellow River was far more terrifying than I imagined.
