The next afternoon, they had arrived at Tai Mo Shan!
It was located at the junction between the Tsuen Wan and Yuen Long districts of the New Territories in Hong Kong. It was the tallest mountain in all of Hong Kong. Due to its geographical location, which caused the area to be foggy all year round, it was commonly known as Misty Mountain.
Three people had arrived at Tai Mo Shan.
Dressed in a white suit, Tang Ning was clearly out of breath as she pointed at the bamboo forest and the peach blossom forest opposite her, “Master, Shen Xingye’s grave is over there!”
Ye Chen looked up and caught sight of the green bamboo forest and the peach blossom forest that spanned over half a mile. The peach blossom forest occupied their left, while the bamboo forest occupied their right.
It was already late autumn. The bamboo forest glistened from the sparkling dewdrops that coated each leaf of every tree. Birds were chirping from above the bamboo treetops.
Meanwhile, at the intersection between the peach blossom forest and the bamboo forest.
A tall tombstone stood in the centre of the forest. The tombstone was around ten feet tall. Upon closer inspection, the tombstone was engraved with tiny characters from head to toe. Grass had already begun to sprout on the grave.
“This is strange!”
Tang Ning frowned, “Shen Xingye was buried less than five days ago, why is the grave covered in so much grass…”
“Miss Tang, this isn’t strange at all!”
Qi Qingfeng chuckled as he stroked his beard, “You aren’t a Spell Master, so you would have no idea what a Spell Master is capable of. Once a Spell Master reaches a certain level, it’s normal for them to change the environment and weather. It is said that, ‘When angered, the winds and clouds billow violently; when smiling, a hundred flowers are brought to full bloom.”
“Of course, they have what’s known as a ‘legendary existence.’”
They continued their conversation as they approached the grave.
Qi Qingfeng surveyed his surroundings before pulling out a geomantic compass. He frowned, “Master Ye, Miss Tang, there’s something wrong with the area’s Feng Shui.”
“What’s wrong?” Tang Ning was perplexed.
Qi Qingfeng felt the ground beneath him before shaking his head, “Look, this place is similar to that of a large bowl. There are no 300 feet azure dragons on the left of the tomb; there are no roaring white tigers that face the sky on the right; there are no jade tables at the front; and you aren’t able to see Ping Shan from the back.”
Ye Chen and Tang Ning both took a look around and realized it was indeed true. They were surrounded by mountains and there was only a small, flat clearing in the middle.
“Master Qi, could you be more straightforward? Is there something wrong with the Feng Shui here?” Tang Ning asked, still clearly confused. She was simply clueless when it came to Feng Shui.
Qi Qingfeng furrowed his brows but did not respond. Instead, he held onto the compass and took seven steps towards the grave and the peach blossom forest. After walking around the bamboo forest, he finally stopped in his tracks, “The peach blossom forest is on the left and the green bamboo is on the right. The entire landscape is natural. There is a saying, ‘When a young man is in his 20s, he is like a blossoming flower. However, the Heavens are jealous of his gifts, in turn giving him an untimely death. On his journey to the afterlife, he rides a bamboo horse. His white-haired elders mourn his untimely death and the departure of another young successor.”
“Amazing, amazing!”
“I am embarrassed by my mediocrity!”
He nodded, shaking his head like he had been in a trance.
Tang Ning was getting impatient, “Master Qi, one moment you’re claiming that the Feng Shui is awful, and the next moment, you’re claiming it’s amazing. What are you trying to say?”
Qi Qingfeng felt slightly awkward as he saluted Ye Chen, “Master Ye, the Feng Shui of the area is referred to as the mourning of a loving mother.”
“What is the mourning of a loving mother?” Tang Ning asked instinctively.
Qi Qingfeng cleared his throat before responding, “There’s a saying in the Seven Acupoint Refining Scripture: a mountain is like an open bowl. A loving mother mourns the death of her son. Legend has it that after Sun Ce had passed away, his mother buried him at this very Feng Shui-treasured site.”
Ye Chen suddenly realized that he was no match for the old man in front of him when it came to Feng Shui.
Tang Ning looked at him thoughtfully, “Master Qi, are you saying this burial site is specifically for those who’ve died young?”
“That’s right. People who have died young are also known as tattooed men.”
Qi Qingfeng nodded, “If one’s ancestors were to be buried here, it would mean the end of their family lineage. Even if it doesn’t reach such a point, great misfortune would befall their family. However, these would be perfect burial grounds for tattooed men.”
At this point, he sighed, “Shen Tiannan truly is amazing. In such a large territory like Hong Kong, he managed to find a place like this. At first, he almost confused me, that’s why I said he was amazing. ”

“Master, do I need to call someone over to dig the grave?” Tang Ning couldn’t care less. She looked at the grave beside her as she asked Ye Chen.
She had already ordered men with special tools to be stationed at the foot of the mountain.
“No need!”
Ye Chen shook his head slightly. He then turned to face the grave in front of him. “Step aside.”
‘No need?’
Tang Ning and Qi Qingfeng had no choice but to curb their suspicions and step aside. They were curious as to how Ye Chen would be able to retrieve the coffin without the help of any tools or manpower.
At the very next moment, Ye Chen formed a hand seal over the Tomb, “Rise!”
“Boom!”
The ground shook violently.
The entire tomb began to tremble intensely. As Tang Ning, Qi Qingfeng and the others looked on in shock, a hole had collapsed in the centre of the tomb. A large black coffin slowly rose from out of the hole.
“Master Ye, this is what you call a miracle!”
Qi Qingfeng’s heart was beating out of his chest.
“Bang!”
The coffin ploughed into the ground.
Ye Chen waved his hand and the coffin lid flew off to the side. Qi Qingfeng took a few steps forward so she could take a look inside.
Meanwhile, Tang Ning lowered her head as she had no intention of stepping forward.
It was as if she couldn’t bear to look inside.
However, the next moment, she heard Qi Qingfeng’s surprised voice, “Miss Tang, Master Ye, there’s nothing inside the coffin. This is an empty tomb! ”
“This can’t be possible, right?”
Tang Ning gasped, quickly walking up to take a look. Inside the coffin, there were only a few items inside of a couple of pieces of clothing. There was no body.
“As expected!”
Although Ye Chen hadn’t stepped forward, he could still clearly feel the situation inside of the coffin with his spiritual sense.
Before he arrived in Hong Kong, he already had a sneaking suspicion that Shen Tiannan had tampered with the burial of Shen Xingye at Tai Mo Shan. As a result, he hadn’t gone to the Tang family home as soon as he had arrived in Hong Kong. He instead wanted to take the lead by going to Tai Mo Shan.
He wanted to test his intuition.
“He’s a cunning old fox, a cunning old fox indeed,” Qi Qingfeng shook his head as he smiled cynically.
Everyone thought Shen Tiannan had buried Shen Xingye here. However, they hadn’t expected it was a ploy to fool the world.
He furrowed his brows, “But, why would Shen Tiannan do something like this?”
Up until now, the condition in which Shen Xingye had been buried remained unknown. Therefore, he had yet to discover Shen Tiannan’s true motives.
Tang Ning was red in the face as she asked, “Master, Shen Tiannan lied to us and everyone else. The coffin is empty. No body was found. What are we going to do?”
“It’s fine. If Shen Tiannan wants to play dirty, I can play dirty too!” Ye Chen laughed.
As for where Shen Xingye was buried, he had a rough idea.
Shortly after, Tang Ning’s phone rang. After having a short exchange with the person on the other end, her face turned ghostly pale. She hung up the phone and glanced at Ye Chen nervously.
“Master, Master Yinshi’s men have already gone to the Tang family home!”
