Especially the old man's mouth, which was opened so wide that even the corners of his mouth began to split, as if it had been forcibly pried open. To put it in a non-exaggerating way, the old man's mouth could easily fit in a large apple.

The burly youth habitually glanced at the coffin again and, as if being stimulated, made a "hiss" sound while closing his eyes.

"Master Zhang shoved the coffin cover violently, exposing the entire body in front of everyone's eyes."

The old man's hands twisted, as if in a cramp, half-clutching something, while his whole body seemed to have been drained of energy.

In Zhang Tianshi's eyes, there was an unmistakable rage. "Who could be so cruel as to extract a living soul? Doesn't he fear divine retribution? Why hasn't the heavenly thunder of the Nine Heavens descended to strike him dead? Is the heavens blind to this?"

Mu Yuxin felt a bit reluctant in her heart and could only turn around and face away from the coffin.

Afterwards, Li Mingyue turned his head and took a deep glance at the old man in the coffin before kneeling down respectfully to kowtow. At the same time, the two brothers from the Cheng family also kneeled down and kowtowed towards the coffin from three different directions.

The voice of Zhang Tianshi choked up a bit as he tremblingly reached his hand into the coffin, holding the old man's hand that was as sharp as an eagle's claw. "Didn't you say you wanted me to save a bottle of aged cellar for you? I went through a lot of trouble to get a bottle of authentic top-grade wine. I brought it with me now, why don't you get up and have a drink?"

"Master Zhang looked up and gazed at Mu Yu as he spoke: 'Yuyuan, did you see it? The child in front of you, do you remember him? You said that there is still an apprentice in my destiny, I have found him! Do you think he fits your criteria? This child is so obedient, come and take a look, just take a look...'"

Mu Yu turned around to look at Zhang Tian Shi, who was crying and grieving. She approached the end of the coffin and knelt down, kowtowing three times before lighting the paper money beside her.

After the paper was burned, the fire continued to burn for a long time. Zhang Tianshi stood next to the coffin and also stood there for half a day.

Master Zhang personally covered the coffin, with tears still lingering on his face. He then took out a smoking rod and tremblingly wrapped it with tobacco leaves.

The sorrowful expression on his face disappeared at some unknown time, leaving only a fierce and resolute look in his eyes.

He glanced at the coffin once again, and thinking of how the person inside had died made him so angry that he wanted to flay someone's skin and peel their tendons. Yu Yuan had died because someone forcefully extracted his soul, he couldn't even become a ghost, his soul had been taken away by someone who was probably tormenting it right now. Who could be so vicious as to resort to such a cruel method? Even in death, he had to endure such pain and couldn't be allowed to rest in peace.

If Zhang Tianze knew the identity of that person, he would spare no effort to make sure that person experiences the taste of having their soul ripped out. Once their soul has been extracted, he would send their soul and spirit to the eighteenth layer of hell, never to be able to turn over a new leaf!

"Yuyuan, the bottle of old cellar that I've hidden, I will wait until I find your soul to avenge you and then I will toast to you."

After Zhang Tianshi finished speaking coldly, he turned around without hesitation and walked out of the door.

In the afternoon at four o'clock, Zhang Tianshi packed the last sacrificial meal into a porcelain jar. He picked up the yin-yang plate and slammed it down fiercely, then swept away the dust from the coffin with a broom.

Cheng brothers, Li Mingyue, Mu Yu, the four of them were carrying the coffin. First, they turned the coffin around and moved it outside the door. They lifted the head of the coffin, then tied it securely with hemp rope and covered it with the coffin lid.

Master Zhang was standing beside the coffin, and as they passed a fork in the road, he sprinkled paper, recited a mantra every five steps, and shook his bell.

Two hours later, the four of them carried the coffin up to the highest peak on all four sides. This peak was located in a precarious location and was one of the few isolated from the other mountain peaks. From afar, it appeared to be surrounded by the mountains, but in reality was hidden behind them and at a disadvantageous position. A small dragon that once passed by this place had its head cut off by this peak. At the very top of the mountain, there was a hole that had been dug out at an unknown time.

Master Zhang glanced at the sky and instructed the four people to align the coffin properly before burying it. Afterwards, they buried a porcelain pot filled with cooked food in front of the coffin, and then covered the coffin directly with soil.

"If it was an ordinary family burial, the ceremony would not be so simple. However, Yu Yuan was a Taoist priest with no relatives, no descendants to mourn at his funeral, and this pit was probably planned by himself according to his own time, and then prepared by someone else."

After the coffin was completely hidden from sight, a mound of soil popped up from the ground.

The four of them stopped their soil-removing actions one after another and walked to the front of the tomb to kowtow.

"However, Zhang, the Taoist master, resolutely turned around and descended from the mountain."

He walked against the wind in a Zhongshan suit that still showed his straight and upright spine, and his tall figure with broad shoulders commanded attention. Zhang Tianshi's eyes revealed a hint of madness.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind comes up, making the surrounding trees rustle as their branches sway back and forth. The sky turns dark in an instant, and a bolt of lightning flashes across the horizon.

"The heavy rain at the end of June came suddenly without any prior signs."

The thunder echoed loudly, and the strong wind blew the heavy rain at an angle. This rain came suddenly and violently, with a mighty force that created a curtain of rain in the sky.

A small piece of ice fell onto the ground and submerged in the dripping rainwater. Gradually, the heavy rain turned into hailstones that hit the tree branches, creating a series of "crackling" sounds accompanied by the sound of hailstones hitting the ground.

Countless pearl-sized ice crystals fell to the ground, then began to bounce around.

Ice pellets jumped and fell on the shoulders of Zhang Tianshi, but he did not show any sign of hesitation, walking with steady and forceful steps.

In his heart, this mountain peak... is nothing but a burial site for a corpse.

His current task is not to stop and mourn, but to search for Yuyuan's soul, and let him rest peacefully and be reborn soon, avoiding such suffering again.

Mu Yu was blinded by the rainwater flowing down his face. He shook his long hair and brushed it behind his head with his hand. The feeling of being soaked through, combined with the hail, made the weather truly terrible. It also inexplicably hinted at some evil tendencies.

Cheng Sheng turned around to look at the soil mound that had already been washed away.

Cheng Sheng shook his head and sighed softly, "The peak of the abyss... it's truly a difficult burial ground to find..."

Just after the burial, a storm broke out with thunder and lightning. Who knows what will happen later? Although Cheng Sheng didn't have the same level of expertise as his master Zhang Tianshi, it was clear that this peak was definitely not a good place for burying someone.

Moreover, walking along this path, besides trees, not even a blade of grass can be found on the mountaintop. The hills and rocks are covered in bareness, and if an ordinary family buried their ancestors on this peak, within a year, all their descendants would surely die off and the family lineage would be completely erased.

"This peak is the evil eye of this place. Since Yu Yuan asked Zhang Tianshi to bury him here, there must be a profound meaning behind it."

Hailstones fell heavier and heavier, hitting people painfully. Several people intended to hide under a tree for a while, but suddenly a thunderous sound echoed in their ears, and the tree on the distant cliff broke off in response.

The four people looked at each other, and one of them shuddered and ran down the peak, chasing after Zhang Celestial Master's footsteps.

After arriving in the small town, the hail had already stopped. The five people randomly found a small inn and had a meal before sleeping for the night.

Early the next morning, Zhang Tianshi brought some fruit gifts and went to thank the burly young man.

The young man felt a bit embarrassed and tried to excuse himself with a hoarse voice, and this excuse also helped Master Zhang understand something.

The young man said that Yuyuan had paid a high rent to live here, much more than what's charged outside. Yuyuan had stayed here for only a month, and this young man only had the impression that Yuyuan was a yin-yang master, not really knowing much else about him.

Just as the young man was feeling a bit shy picking up the things, a person suddenly walked in from outside the door. This person was around fifty years old, dressed in patched overalls, and was so thin that he could barely support the clothes he wore. His hair was messy, and his face was covered in stubble, giving off an air of decadence and dilapidation. Moreover, his forehead was blackened, and he seemed to have suffered from bad luck for many years.
