Chapter 715
In Yang Fan’s understanding, confirming whether a mummified corpse, separated by countless generations of lineage, is truly their ancestor is an entirely impossible task.
It’s bad enough that it’s turned into a mummy, not to mention that it’s now in pieces. What’s more, this mummy is generations removed from the oldest living member of the Yun Family—there isn’t a single person who would recognize it.
How could anyone confirm this?
It’s clearly impossible.
But Mr. Fan actually had a way.
After everyone descended into the cavern, he gathered the shattered and fragmented remains of the mummy—scattered earlier during Yang Fan’s handling—and arranged them into a cohesive form. Around the remains, he laid out a peculiar formation using small stones and then inscribed some runes onto the stones with a red pen. Finally, he placed the scrap of cloth, which was stained with the fingertip blood of several Yun Family members, onto the broken forehead of the mummy.
Then, something strange happened: a soft, blood-red light began to emanate from the body of the mummy.
A pale crimson glow.
Mr. Fan nodded affirmatively. "No problem; he’s indeed your ancestor. But since he’s already turned into a malevolent creature that can harm others, my disciple had no choice but to take action. I hope you don’t mind!"
"Under normal circumstances, someone’s bones from this many generations ago would have completely decayed to nothing by now. At least his remains are relatively intact. You can piece them together and enshrine them again."
Yun Miaoyi’s father said, "How dare we blame you for anything? Without the intervention of the two of you, we Yun Family members might have become the scourge of the entire surrounding community. We’re fortunate that it was discovered in time, and so far, no major casualties have occurred."
