At this moment, Ren Fa walked over and said with a smile, "Uncle Jiu, the feng shui master said back then that this was a rare and auspicious burial site."
Lin Fengjiao quickly waved her hand: "Master Ren, just call me Lin Jiu. I really don't deserve the title of Uncle Jiu!"
He wasn't stupid. Given the relationship between Xiao Ning and Ren Tingting, one could imagine the status of Ren Fa, the old man who would become her father-in-law.
How could Lin Fengjiao, a mere Qi Refining level Taoist, dare to let Ren Fa call her Ninth Uncle? That would make her an elder of Xiao Ning, a Golden Core Realm senior. That was absolutely unacceptable.
Ren Fa had obviously thought of this connection as well. He smiled, quite satisfied with the sensible young Taoist priest, and didn't say anything more.
Lin Fengjiao mentioned it briefly, but seeing that Ren Fa had already accepted his goodwill, she stopped arguing and started talking about serious matters.
"Yes, Master Ren, this burial site is indeed a good one, called Dragonfly Pointing to the Cliff. The site is 34 feet long, but only 4 feet are usable; it is 13 feet wide, but only 3 feet are usable; therefore, the coffin cannot be buried flat, but only in a traditional burial."
"Mr. Ren, am I right?"
Upon hearing his words, Ren Fa immediately gave him a thumbs up.
"Lin Jiu, you're amazing! You're absolutely right!"
"French burial? Master, what is French burial? Is it a French-style funeral?" Wencai asked, having never heard of French burial before.

Wencai is a simple-minded person who says whatever comes to mind. To put it nicely, he is straightforward; to put it bluntly, he is stupid, unrestrained, and ill-mannered.
The others found Wencai's words somewhat amusing, but due to the current situation, they couldn't laugh out loud, and they all felt uncomfortable holding it in.
Lin Fengjiao glared at Wen Cai and scolded, "If you don't understand, shut up. What nonsense are you spouting?"
To make such a foolish joke in front of a Golden Core Realm senior would make one look like a poor teacher.
How could Lin Fengjiao not be furious?
At this moment, Lin Fengjiao felt utterly exhausted!
Then, he paused and said, "The so-called legal burial is to bury the coffin upright. Mr. Ren, am I right?"
While it seemed like he was asking Ren Fa, he was actually speaking to Xiao Ning.
At this point, after everyone had finished their worship, Lin Fengjiao signaled that they could begin construction, and a group of servants took their tools and got to work.
Seeing the servants breaking ground, Ren Fa continued Lin Fengjiao's words, saying, "That feng shui master once said that if the ancestors are buried upright, the descendants will definitely be great!"
Lin Fengjiao clearly saw through the trick, and asked with a half-smile, "So, does it work or not?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Ren Fa's face as he said, "To be honest, over the past twenty years, our Ren family's business has been getting worse and worse, and I don't know why."
“I think that feng shui master must have had a grudge against your Ren family. Did the old master have a conflict with him before he died?” Lin Fengjiao asked.
Ren Fa looked somewhat uneasy: "When my father first learned that this was a treasure trove of land, he bought it with his money."
"Just bribery? I think it's more than that!" Lin Fengjiao asked again.
"Well……"
Ren Fa smiled awkwardly. He had obviously done something dishonorable back then, but he couldn't say it because of his pride and the presence of his future son-in-law.
Lin Fengjiao shook her head: "I think Old Master Ren must have coerced you back then, otherwise that feng shui master wouldn't have deliberately messed with you and even told you to sprinkle cement on the dragonfly acupuncture point."
Is there anything wrong with this?
Ren Fa asked in confusion.
Lin Fengjiao explained, "It should be snowflakes covering the top, that's what 'dragonfly skimming the water' means. If the coffin head doesn't touch the water, then how can it be called 'dragonfly skimming the water'?"
"However, that person still had some conscience. He instructed you to exhume and rebury him in twenty years. He may have harmed you for half your life, but not for your entire life. He may have harmed one generation, but not eighteen generations!"
He said with a sigh.
"The coffin has been taken out!"
Just then, the voices of the servants came from inside.
Lin Fengjiao led everyone over, and upon inspection, it was indeed as he had said: the coffin was buried upright.
Several servants set up a pulley, attached ropes to the coffin, and slowly pulled it up.
A moment later, the group lifted the coffin and laid it flat on the ground. However, after twenty years, the coffin showed no signs of decay, which was very unusual.
Lin Fengjiao frowned, but then, remembering that Xiao Ning was present, she relaxed and shouted, "Loosen the rope, pull up the nail."
Then he said to the people around him, "Everyone, today is the day that Lord Ren Weiyong has seen the light of day again. Anyone who is 36, 22, 35, or 48 years old, or who was born in the Year of the Rooster or the Year of the Ox, please turn around and leave."
Upon hearing his words, those whose zodiac signs clashed with his consciously turned away and avoided him.
Seeing this, Lin Fengjiao said, "Now that we've cleared the way, everyone, straighten your clothes and open the coffin!"
As the servants standing around the coffin were about to open it, birds took flight in fright, and a chilling wind howled, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Then, the coffin was opened, and Lin Fengjiao looked solemn. As the coffin lid was opened, a thick black yin energy was seen to emanate outwards. The body of Old Master Ren, who had been buried for twenty years, showed no signs of decay.
When Ren Fa and Ren Tingting saw the body of Old Master Ren, they didn't think twice and immediately knelt on the ground.
"father!"
"grandfather!"
