The Dao Sect has always valued the return of the soul to the earth and the return of the body to nature, emphasizing coming naked and returning naked. Therefore, they usually don't use coffins or even clothes for burial. Even the high-ranking officials of the Dao Sect used to be buried this way, with their bodies thrown directly into the soil.
When Li An was transporting the bodies, he discovered that the corpses of these young people were mostly mutilated, as if they had suffered terrible humiliation and torture before their deaths. They were covered in blood, with skin torn to shreds, and some even had words carved into their bodies.
"The Dao Mountain must be destroyed."
"Like slaughtering pigs and dogs."
...
The killers were demonstrating!
This was a provocation!
A blatant provocation.
"Damn it...."
"Revenge, revenge must be had!"
