In Ning County, Xu Qing and Xuan Yu traveled intermittently, occasionally inquiring about families with funerals, hoping to conduct a ritual, learn about the advanced funeral practices from other regions, and concurrently gather information about the County Magistrate, achieving two goals with one move.
Qianzhou encompasses three prefectures and seventeen counties. Although these counties and prefectures are under the same jurisdiction, the customs and cultures differ considerably.
In the northern part of Qianzhou, people prefer burials, similar to the Jin Sect.
However, in other areas of Qianzhou, most locals prefer 'cliff burials.'
Xu Qing had long heard of this funeral method but unfortunately never had the chance to visit Qianzhou and witness it firsthand.
Now he was finally fortunate to see it with his own eyes.
After visiting many households, Xu Qing finally found a family conducting a funeral in a remote village at the boundary of Ning County.
