I told the fat man about this early the next morning. The fat man was also quite surprised. Are you sure it wasn't a dream?
Xiao Chen said that even if I dream, I can't dream of a person's name, right? Qiu Xuanxuan is a rather strange name.
But Fatty didn't know who Qiu Xuanxuan was, so maybe Xiao Chen was really dreaming.
Whether it is a dream or not, you will know if you go and take a look.
But before they could set out, Xiao Lin Senyi came to invite them in person. Not only did he invite Fatty Xiao Chen, but he also invited Miss Ouyang to come with him.
"Xiao Lin, please invite us over so early...is there anything important?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Mr. Akiyama died last night." Xiao Linsen said solemnly.
ah? So fast? Xiao Chen and the other three were all shocked when they heard this, saying that he was fine when they saw him yesterday...
"Daiming Qingtian said that Mr. Akiyama's last words before his death were to ask a Chinese monk to shave him before he could be buried. But now there is no Chinese monk in Heianjing... I heard that Miss Ouyang is also a disciple of Buddhism, so I wanted to Please trouble her." Xiao Linsen said.
In fact, there were many monks from China in Pinganjing, but after the last war with Yanyun, for the sake of safety, they drove away all the Chinese monks who had placed orders in the capital. Now they are looking for them in a hurry, but they can't find any birds.
Ouyang Yunxiu is a disciple of Master Ciyun. Although she has not become a monk, if she takes it seriously, she is indeed a disciple of Buddhism and there is nothing wrong with her.
But Akiyama Tomomitsu's last words are really strange. Isn't it a little too late to think of becoming a monk after everyone is dead?
This Akiyama Tomomitsu is really true. He said such nonsense last night, but the most important words disappeared before he finished speaking. You should first tell me where the Tianshu fragment is hidden!
Well now, no matter whether the remaining pages of the book that day are true or false, no one can find them anymore.
Ouyang Yunxiu was also a little disappointed. He originally wanted Xiao Chen to take him into Akiyama Zhiguang's sea of consciousness and ask him some questions. Who knew he died so quickly... But he also wanted to go and have a look, just in case he Is the ghost still there?
Kobayashi Daoguang changed into white clothes and knelt down in front of Akiyama Chimitsu's body with a haggard expression. He was as silent as a statue. After being gone for a night, he seemed to have aged by more than ten years.
The daimyo Qingtian on the side saw Xiao Chen and others coming and reminded him softly, "Sir, Xiao Chenjun and the others are here."
"Oh." Xiaolin Daoguang slowly stood up and said with red eyes, "Jun Xiao Chen, Mr. Shangguan, thank you. Is this the eldest lady of the Ouyang family? It's really troublesome for you."
"Mr. Xiaolin, you're welcome." Ouyang Yunxiu nodded slightly.
"Last night, Mr. Qiu Shan knew that his time had come and left his last words. He wanted to ask a Chinese eminent monk to shave his head so that he could ascend to heaven after his death. When I was anxious, I thought of Miss Ouyang, who has also entered Buddhism. , so... maybe you don’t know yet? Mr. Akiyama is actually from China." Daimyo Qingtian said solemnly.
Xiao Chen and the others already knew, but they still acted surprised. Although they pretended not to look like one, luckily no one noticed.
"Perhaps my brother Qiu Shan was confused before he died. He killed many people all his life, so how could he suddenly think of joining Buddhism?" Xiaolin Daoguang said, "But no matter what, I want to deny his last wish, but Ouyang Miss, you are so young, it is really too much for you to do such a thing..."
"It's okay." Ouyang Yunxiu said.
Ouyang Yunxiu is very young and has a timid appearance, but she is a Taoist disciple and has no taboos about life and death.
"Thank you very much. I wonder what Miss Ouyang needs me to prepare?" Xiaolin Daoguang said hurriedly.
"Please step aside for now, Xiao Chen stays to help." Ouyang Yunxiu paused and said, "Find another razor."
"Okay, okay." Xiaolin Daoguang agreed and listened to your instructions, Miss Ouyang.
Everyone went out. Ouyang Yunxiu held the razor in his hand and looked around with a blank look in his eyes.
"His soul is gone?" Xiao Chen asked softly.
"Well, if we come earlier, we might still be able to see him." Ouyang Yunxiu sighed leisurely.
"Are there many people who were still alive during the campaign to suppress the eldest grandson's illness? Let's just ask them... By the way, Ren Tiantang also participated in it? I'll take you to find her later." Xiao Chen said.
"Well... there's not much left. Even if that woman Ren Tiantang knows something, she won't tell me." Ouyang Yunxiu nodded slightly and shook his head gently.
"Why?" Xiao Chen was puzzled.
"Because she is a white-bone spirit!" Ouyang Yunxiu said loudly.
"Okay, okay, then don't ask her, let's find someone else... Keep your voice down, there is a dead person here." Xiao Chen reminded her to lower her volume, don't fake the corpse, it would not be fun.
By the way, Xiao Chen has seen zombies before, and they are quite powerful.
"Are you still afraid of death?" Yunxiu threw the razor on the ground, "Come on, I won't do such a thing."
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Xiao Chen picked up the razor and sat in front of Qiu Shan Zhiguang. He held his head in one hand and held the razor in the other to shave his head. "I never dreamed that I would do it again one day." I don’t know if you can get a red envelope for a corpse beautician? This Akiyama Tomomitsu is also serious. I didn’t tell you where the thing was hidden earlier..."
"There's water over there, please bring me some. Why is this old man's hair so hard? I've caught up with the iron wire. If I had known better, I would have let the fat man stay. He must be professional..." Xiao Chenke has never been I've never shaved anyone's head, let alone a dead person's head, so I'm a bit in a hurry.
"Why are you so clean? It's almost time to get it right." Ouyang Yunxiu took the kettle and poured it down directly.
"Oh, either we don't do it or we just clean it up. Slow down and respect the deceased." Xiao Chen said while busy.
"This is just a skin bag. The soul has long since dispersed. How can you still respect this person?" Ouyang Yunxiu said, "Why don't you respect others when you eat beef and mutton?"
Metaphysics disciples look at problems from a different perspective than normal people.
"Could this be the same thing?" Xiao Chen grinned as he listened, "I didn't expect that Yunxiu, you could actually...yeah?"
After Xiao Chen cut off Qiu Shan Zhiguang's unruly hair, he began to shave his head, but saw a dark ink stain on his scalp, which seemed to be writing?
"What's wrong?" Ouyang Yunxiu also bent down.
"Look, there are words on it... Oh, I know, it turns out this is the Tianshu fragment he was talking about. No wonder he pointed at my head. I thought it was hidden in his mind, but it turns out it is It's written on his scalp, tsk tsk, this Mr. Akiyama must have been a soldier!" Xiao Chen said.
There were many ways to transmit information in the ancient military, some were oral messages, and some were letters. However, because some information was very confidential, letters could not be used.
Even some secrets cannot be known to the messenger, so the messenger will be shaved off first, write information on his bald head with special ink, and then wait for his hair to grow back before sending him to deliver the information.
