    "Li Gang's face turned sour and he said, 'Master, how could I dare to be disrespectful? I now wish to burn a pile of ingots to offer to them. I am only afraid that they will have nostalgia and come back to see me at night.'"

    Muyu laughed at this statement, saying that he had come into close contact with ghosts and didn't end up as cowardly as Li Gang. Therefore, he didn't fear if ghosts came to find him.

    Afterwards, Li Gang remembered something else and said, "Shall we come back tonight and take a look? Haven't we solved this matter yet? Is there anything else? If so, I won't accompany you guys tonight. I'll go find someone brave..."

    Master Zhang smiled at him and said, "No need, we can handle it ourselves tonight. After all, we have found the solution to this problem, there's no need for anyone to follow us around."

    Li Gang nodded repeatedly. As soon as Zhang Tian Shi said they were going out, he eagerly led the way ahead with amazing speed, leaving Mu Yu almost behind at the very end.

    At six o'clock in the afternoon, the corpse was promptly removed and placed directly into the newly purchased coffin for burial on top of this mountain.

    Zhang Tianshi said that this mountain actually has good feng shui and terrain. The tomb buried at the top can overlook the entire city on the opposite side, with a far-reaching view. The only downside is that the mountain has been drilled through to accommodate the train. Any dragon energy and good luck passing through this tunnel is carried away by the train to a distant place, so this excellent plot of land has been ruined by just a tunnel. However, since the mother and daughter had no close relatives during their lifetime, it doesn't matter where they are buried.

    The three of them slept for another two hours inside the tent, had a little something to eat before setting off again towards the tunnel. This time, each of them brought a mining lamp.

    "After walking for several kilometers, another hour and a half had passed."

    Master Zhang rolled up his sleeves and glanced at his watch.

    "At half past nine, it's about time. Disciple, did you say you dreamed of a stone path?"

    As Mu Yu walked in the center, she turned her head and looked towards Zhang Tianshi, saying, "Yeah, what's wrong? Is there anything not right?"

    After thinking for a while, Li Mingyue asked, "Do you think we can enter that stone path?"

    "Shall we go take a look to find out? Didn't Mu Yu already go in before? Maybe we can also go inside," Zhang Tian Shi eagerly suggested.

    Looking ahead, I walked towards the pile of rocks from before. Now the pile had been moved, leaving an empty space with nothing unusual except for the talisman that was still stuck on the stone wall.

    Mu Yu couldn't understand what was going on and could only watch as Zhang Tianshi and Li Mingyue reached out to knock on the stone wall.

    With a hiss, Master Zhang tore off the talisman and stepped back. He reminded them, "Are you both ready? Once I open this portal to the underworld, we will charge in and take a look."

    "Mingdao?" Mu Yu was a little surprised by the words.

    Li Mingyue explained to him, "It's estimated that this tunnel accidentally connected to the underworld, which is why there are more people whenever a train passes. Once the passage opened, the ghosts mistook this place as a station. Usually, there are two guard dogs guarding the underworld entrance, but those two mother and daughter were not inside, and the dogs were afraid to go in. Their bodies were left on this platform, which is why they were trapped here for so long."

    Muyu nodded thoughtfully.

    Zhāng Tiānshī paid no attention to what they were saying, took a step forward, made an incantation with his fingers, and uttered a spell as he pressed the Yáng Bīn Shì Dū Gōng Yìn in his arms onto the ground.

    "Underworld! Open!"

    The silent and dull roar in the air seemed like an unknown world was slowly unfolding before them. The stone wall unexpectedly began to slowly split apart, forming a stone cave.

    Master Zhang put away his seal and let out a loud shout: "Let's go!"

    "They promptly rushed into the stone path, with Mu Yu and Li Mingyue closely following behind."

    As soon as he stepped onto the stone path, he saw two big dogs with bared teeth and their eyes shining like green lights. Their body size could even be compared to a tiger.

    Master Zhang ran ahead and waved his hand to use two talismans to stop them. In just a few breaths, the three of them had already rushed out of the stone path.

    Before my eyes was a street, adorned with interweaving red ropes and cloth. Some of the ropes hung down, adding to the festive atmosphere of the bustling surroundings. The combination of the red decorations and the lively atmosphere complemented each other harmoniously.

    "Three people, Zhang Tianshi led the way with Mu Yu and Li Mingyue following half a step behind. They stood on either side of Zhang Tianshi, watching the constant flow of 'people' passing by."

    They were dressed in various styles; some were in Tang suits, some were in scholar's robes, and some were in Qing dynasty attire. There were even some who wore modern clothing in the mix. Based on their appearances, it seemed that they had all died in different time periods.

    Looking closely at the items being sold at the stall, they were all things used by the deceased. In those shops, all the assistants were paper people with rosy cheeks painted on them.

    "They live in this other world."

    "All ghosts, those who died before reaching an old age, will live here until the day they are reincarnated. Some ghosts who do not wish to be reincarnated will also stay here. As long as they are not caught by evil spirits, they will be safe."

    Actually, this is the best choice for most ghosts. Only those with extreme grudges or obsessions would willingly stay in the human world and suffer, just to fulfill their own desires.

    "Master Zhang suddenly thought of something and whispered to them, 'Hold your breath and exhale as little as possible. Our human breath is too heavy.'"

    "A ghost brushed past Mu Yu's side. The ghost took two steps and then turned back, patting Mu Yu's shoulder. 'Bro, did you just die? You still smell pretty strongly.'"

    "Zhang Tianshi and Li Mingyue turned their heads to look at the ghost next to Mu Yu, ready to throw their talismans at any moment."

    Mu Yu looked at the blurry features in front of her, choked her neck, held her breath, and pretended: "Yeah, only a few hours have passed since you died. Why don't you have any smell on your body?"

    "Me? I've been dead for almost three hundred years!"

    The ghost chuckled a few times, said something, then turned around and continued on his way.

    Watching the ghost's figure, Mu Yu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then remembered what Master Zhang had said and stifled himself.

    Li Mingyue gave him a thumbs up and patted his shoulder, whispering, "The flame on your shoulder will go out once you enter this underworld and the ghost on your shoulder won't be burnt. Don't be afraid, you can still breathe. It's unlikely that any ghost will mistake you for a human."

    Mu Yu listened to this comforting words, neither exhaling nor inhaling.

    Master Zhang summoned two people, and the group of three walked toward the area without ghosts as much as possible.

    Master Zhang had a thought and said, "My young disciple, even if we pat out the flames on our shoulders, we will still attract attention. If any ghosts come by and want to lean on us, you let them lean on you. After all, once we're exposed, we probably won't be able to escape even if we run."

    Mu Yu was silent for a moment and asked, "Why were they shoulder to shoulder?"

    Master Zhang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I suppose, old man, that this is probably a unique custom or way of greeting that they have."

    Just at that moment, Zhang Tianshi and Li Mingyue both looked behind him. Mu Yu probably guessed what was happening from their expressions. Sure enough, a ghost hand was already resting on his shoulder in the next second.

    Mu Yuping held her breath and turned her head. What came into her view was a woman with a plump figure, wearing an apron.

    "Would you like some tea, three of you?"

    "Mu Yu shook her head and said, 'No...I won't drink...'"

    As soon as the words were spoken, Mu Yula quickly pulled Li Mingyue and Zhang Tianshi to leave without any delay, leaving only the woman behind lamenting about her poor business on the spot.

    Mu Yu let go of their hands and fiercely exhaled two breaths towards an empty corner.

    Master Zhang looked at Mu Yu leisurely and said, "It's not easy to come to this place, so we should take a good look around. Maybe we won't have the chance to come again in this lifetime, except for when we're dead."

    "Li Mingyue looked at the tallest "building" in the distance and asked, "Master, should we go and have a look at the very center?""
