Records of Mountain Corpses

In the eighth year of Guangxu, deep in the mountains where Yunnan and Guizhou meet in the southwest. Young coroner Shen Yan follows the mountain shaman Granny Chen Apo through desolate ridges and village strongholds, examining bizarre corpse cases along the way and recording the little-known secrets of corpse anomalies in the wilds. The dry muntjac that harms people in mine shafts, the gu corpses breeding in Miao villages, the armored corpses guarding ancient tombs, the undead bones that linger with unresolved grievances... one eerie calamity after another keeps appearing. What seems like corpse creatures causing trouble is actually backed by a band of corpse refiners roaming the mountains. They secretly set up sinister formations, spur corpse disasters, and stir up feuds among the villages. Shen Yan and Granny Chen Apo travel all over the deep mountains, examining corpses and distinguishing baleful influences, peeling back layer after layer the schemes laid by the corpse refiners. All stories in this book are fictional tales of the strange; please do not take them as real. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Records of Mountain Corpses — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
