Chapter 194 Funeral Coffin
Chapter 194 Funeral Coffin
The huge explosion also frightened the people in Changqing Temple. Huang Yulian's brothers were also present at the time. They all said in surprise, "Oh no! There must be an earthquake here. Let's get out of here first."
When the group of people were halfway there, they saw the shadow of a large drone flying in the sky. They also saw thick smoke billowing from a place on the mountainside, and some trees were on fire.
The Changqing Temple disciple said, "What on earth happened there? Let's go and take a look."
A few brave ones among them went in that direction first, and the others followed.
When they arrived at the place, they looked at the deep pit created by the explosion, with smoke still billowing out of it. They thought that the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning in the sky were angry and were using all their might to strike some monster to death.
Until he saw the beggar Lao Liu, with whom he had fought before, nervously covering his head and dodging one or two dragonflies and flying insects.
"Bah! I told you! These people who look like this must not be normal people. I think the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Lightning will strike them, because! They are not human at all."
"I think so too. Some of them have black faces and fangs, and some have wolf eyes and monkey cheeks. I'm afraid they are all monsters from the mountains who have transformed themselves into human form."
"Yes, yes! I think so too."
"Now what?"
"Beat them! This is what we, the disciples of the Immortal Sect, should do."
Someone with a mouth that was faster than his brain said this immediately.
other people……
They all turned their heads and pretended not to hear.
Huang Yulian's brother Huang Zudai asked, "Is the Qiushui I just asked the immortals about the same group as them?"
Changqing Temple disciple Bai Xingyao said, "Ah... yes, they are in the same group with Qiu Shui. Didn't Mr. Huang want to capture Qiu Shui? I think you can first capture a few of them and interrogate them. Then you won't have to worry about not catching Qiu Shui."
Another disciple, Hong Xingliu, also said, "I heard that the three young masters of the Huang family became famous at a young age. It is said in the martial arts world that the three young masters are not only chivalrous and heroic, but also have great kung fu. Today is just right. With three masters fighting together, and with the help of our brothers, these beggars will definitely not be able to escape."
Huang Zudai is Huang Yulian's youngest brother. He is not as thoughtful as his elder brothers. His second brother Huang Zuxing said, "Master Hong got it wrong, right? In terms of numbers and combat power, the masters have the advantage over us. Why do they want us to lead the charge and go after those beggars... No! They are not beggars. I heard that they are some of the most powerful people in the martial arts world. They are called the Seven Evil Men of the Catholic Church. They act in unexpected ways and have unique methods. In short, they are a group of very tough opponents."
Hong Xingliu smiled and said, "Second Master Huang, you don't know that these beggars are not very powerful, but they have a strange weapon in their hands that is very powerful. And there are also small flying insects in the sky. Although they are small, they are also a kind of lethal weapon. It is because of these weapons that more than half of our brothers and sisters were killed. The rest... also have injuries of varying degrees... Alas... It's really hard to describe!"
Bai Xingyao added: "To be honest, Huang's second brother, we haven't had a good meal or a good night's sleep since we fought them the day before yesterday. Just look at the brothers and you will understand... I am really ashamed."
Huang Yulian's brothers looked at them and felt that they were not lying.
Bai Xingyao also said, "I heard that the Huang family has a complex relationship with the officials and noble families of all levels in the capital. Why don't you listen to my advice and go back to the capital to explain the situation to the government and ask them to send people to wipe out this group of evil thieves? And that Mr. Qiu Shui, since he is in the same group as these people, he should be arrested. Even if he was hacked to death in the chaos, he deserved it. This will save both of us a lot of trouble, right?"
Huang Zudai opened his big innocent eyes and nodded to his brothers to show his agreement.
Huang Zuwang said to his other brother Liu Jizu, "In terms of power and connections in the capital, Brother Jizu's family is more prosperous. What do you think we should do?"
Liu Jizu said, "Father doesn't want us to bully others by taking advantage of our power. Besides, although our family has a few relatives who are officials of the third and fourth ranks, they are all civil servants without military power. It would be better for us to go back and discuss it with our elder brothers, Wu and Tianlin, before making a decision."
Huang Yulian's mother gave birth to nine sons and one daughter. Others married for the second or third time, but Huang Yulian's mother married four families. The first husband's surname was Wu, and the sons she gave birth to were named Wu Tianci and Wu Tianlin. A few days ago, two people who tried to assassinate Shen Wen but were killed were Wu Tianci, the eldest son of the Wu family, and the other was Liu Jizong.
Her second husband’s surname was Wang, and their two sons were named Wang Cunlai and Wang Cuncheng.
The third husband's family name was Liu, and the son he gave birth to was Liu Jizong, also known as Liu Jizu, who was killed together with Wu Tianci.
The fourth husband’s surname was Huang. The first two were Huang Zuwang and Huang Zuxing, and then Huang Zudai. A year later, the youngest daughter, Huang Yulian, was born.
In fact, this makes sense, because Huang Yulian's maternal grandfather, the Hu family, had a curse of not having many offspring. There was no hope for sons to carry on the family line, so they could only place their hopes on daughters. Huang Yulian's mother, Hu Xiangxiang, was also one of the three most beautiful women in the world, the Flower of the Snow Region, with a princess-like status. It really fits the old saying that a beauty from one family is sought after by hundreds of families, especially a legendary beauty like Hu Xiangxiang.
After the three brothers had discussed it, they temporarily said goodbye to the disciples of Changqing Temple and returned to the capital to plan how to mobilize troops to suppress the bandits.
Just as they reached the city gate, a servant came to report: "It's bad, gentlemen. Someone is causing trouble in our house. A coffin was sent in, filled with human heads!"
It turned out that Wu Tianci and Liu Jizong, who were killed today, held a memorial service at their home in the capital, inviting two hundred monks to chant sutras for the dead. Relatives and friends of the Wu and Liu families also came to pay their respects, and the scene was so sensational that it alarmed half of the capital.
Although Wu Zuoliu, Wu Tianci's father, was not in the officialdom, his family had been officials for generations. With such a rich and powerful family background, Wu Zuoliu was arrogant. So when his son was killed, his hatred reached its peak at the moment when people were offering condolences and comfort. He stood in front of his son's coffin, pointed to the sky and swore: "I, Wu Zuoliu, swear today that I must track down the real murderer and make his whole family die miserably and be buried with my son!"
And Liu Jizong's father Liu Yixin was even more confident than Wu Tianci. His family was not only well-connected in the officialdom, but also had a place in the martial arts world. From his great-grandfather's generation, he was a famous hero and master. The disciples he taught could be found in every corner of the Great Jue Dynasty.
Liu Yixin threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, gritting his teeth and saying in hatred: "God is so unfair! Until now, those murderers have been at large. Dahuo, is this fair? I swear here that within three days, when my son is about to be buried, I will drag the murderer's body to the coffin and grind his bones to ashes!"
This is so convincing and shocking.
However, just as the two men finished their passionate and unrestrained speeches, a horse-drawn cart stopped at the door outside the crowd. On the cart was a black lacquered wooden coffin, and the driver was a thin man in black clothes and a black hat.
The man didn't have time to take off his bamboo hat, and didn't care about the curious looks from the crowd. He hurried to the two masters of the Wu and Liu families and said, "You are the two masters of the Wu and Liu families, right? Someone told me to bring a coffin, but you two are here. The person told me to tell you that he had expected that the two masters would bury some funeral objects for their sons, and that his coffin is filled with funeral objects. Please take a look and see if it suits your taste."
Wu Zuoliu and Liu Yixin only had the word "buried with the deceased" in their minds. They looked at each other and guessed that one of the families might have thought of killing their enemy in order to show their good will and sent him here on such an occasion.
So the two of them went to see it together in a swagger.
The coffin was opened by the servants. Before they could even look inside, Master Wu blurted out, "You little bastard, I knew you would end up being buried with my son."
But when they actually saw the results, both Master Wu and Master Liu were dumbfounded.
The thrilling scene inside was so frightening that Master Wu even took several steps back. Fortunately, his own servants supported him, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.
The person buried in the coffin was not just one person. There were densely packed heads of people, big and small, old and young, male and female, lining the entire coffin.
They were all covered in blood, piled up in piles.
Some of the onlookers ran away in fear, while others felt nauseous and vomited on the spot. After a while of chaos and commotion, only the Wu and Liu families were left.
Liu Yixin carefully identified the heads in both eyes, but did not recognize anyone among them.
He seemed to be slow to realize what was going on and shouted angrily, "Where's the coachman? Where's the driver? Catch him and ask him what's going on."
The driver did not run away. He rode a wild and fierce horse and knocked down the servants who were surrounding him. He laughed and said, "Listen carefully, Liu and Wu. Are you so arrogant? You want to bury your son with me, but you didn't even ask whether Sanjianzhai agrees. When Wu Tianci and Liu Jizong killed my daughter Zhinuan, they ignored Sanjianzhai's warning to exterminate the whole family! Today, I will show you the clan of Huo Hui, the evil disciple of the Golden Sword Sect. By the way, I will tell you that my name is Yan Sangeng! Listen carefully, keep these heads for me. Three days later, when my daughter Zhinuan is buried, it will be the day when you, the Wu and Liu families, and the Huo Hui clan, will bury my daughter with me."
After saying this, he turned his horse around and galloped away.
The picture left Wu Zuoliu and Liu Yixin looking at each other in panic!
"Three? Three houses?"
"Yan Sangeng?"
"I remember this name. It was Yan Jun who destroyed the sixteen major sects and sixteen families of the Great Digging Kingdom. He also had a partner of equal fame named Li Suanzi. He did not kill officials or thieves, but only destroyed the forces of darkness, regardless of whether you were a law-abiding person or a mercenary rebel."
"More than that! Li Suanzi and Zhong are in the same group. They killed so many officials, some as high as the rank of marquis, and hung their bodies on the city wall until they were dried by the wind."
