By the time I arrived at Fengshuiling, it was already noon. White lanterns had already been hung in front of Ma's house, and white couplets were also pasted. It was obviously a funeral.
People were coming and going in the Ma family mansion, and there were quite a few people who came to express their condolences.
After all, Mr. Ma was a well-known figure within a hundred miles. When he died, there was quite a sensation. Naturally, many people came to pay their respects.
I walked all the way into the back hall and found a large white sail hanging in front of the door with a big word "Dian" on it. It seemed that this mourning hall was also located in Ma Sanye's own house.
There were many wreaths placed on both sides of the corridor outside the door, as well as funeral supplies such as long coins and gold buckets. The scene was quite grand.
I saw Ma Youyi and Ma Yuanqi standing in the mourning hall wearing sackcloth and mourning, waiting for the guests who came to pay homage, and kowtowed together.
At this time, Ma Youyi also saw me and hurriedly came out to greet me.
"Master, I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
Ma Yiyi didn't look too sad or anything, at least he didn't cry.
But when Ma Yiyi came out and called me master, almost everyone present looked over to me.
There is no way. With Ma Sanye's status, most of the people who come to express condolences to him are actually people in the industry, and Ma Youyi is Ma Sanye's grandson. Now he suddenly calls a young man who is not two years older than him master. , others are naturally more or less different.
"Condolences."
I patted Ma Youyi's shoulder, and then went into the room to burn incense for Mr. Ma.
Although Mr. Ma and I are not on the same journey, after all, the deceased is the most important, and people after death naturally need to be respected. Besides, the old man was actually quite good to me during his lifetime.
"Brother Ma, what's the specific situation?"
After finishing the incense, I asked Ma Yuanqi.
"This thing is quite strange. The old man and the others were invited to do something, but it was said that someone had already arranged the plan. In the end, only Shaoyang came back alive, and he also brought the old man's body back."
Ma Yuanqi said slightly sadly.
"How many people went there in total?"
I asked quickly, feeling that this matter was really not simple.
"There were three of them in total. The old man took Shaoyang and Beichuan with him. According to Shaoyang, Beichuan was the first one to break over there. He and the old man felt something was wrong, so they hurriedly evacuated. As a result, the old man I still got tricked and died on the way."
Ma Yuanqi sighed as he spoke.
"My condolences and acceptance."
I said and looked at Ma Yuanqi a little apologetically.
It seems that we have to ask the Shaoyang mentioned by Ma Yuanqi to know the specific situation. After all, he is the only one who came back alive and the only survivor who has personally experienced this.
But I'm thinking, do I really want to know about this? If I really understood it, I might have to go to the Qinling Mountains without any hesitation.
Because it is obvious that the people in the Ma family team were tricked and the mainstay of the Ma family team, Mr. Ma, was directly brought down.
Regardless of the other party's purpose, he is definitely a master. It may be difficult for the rest of the Ma family team to regain their position or seek revenge.
But there's no way they could just let it go. It would be tantamount to giving in, and the brand name of the Ma family team would probably be completely destroyed.
After a brief chat, Ma Yuanqi asked Ma Beyi to lead me to the backyard, arranged a room for me, and asked the kitchen to prepare some dishes for me and deliver them to the room.
This treatment is really good, I think I got some credit from this guy Ma Game.
I asked Ma Boyi to invite Wang Shaoyang over by the way. After thinking about it, I decided to ask him about the specific invitation situation in Qinling. As for whether I should go there then? This depends on the situation.
Wang Shaoyang is also considered a young man in this industry. He is less than thirty years old, looks elegant and has a somewhat bookish look.
In fact, most of the people in this industry who can really perform well and have some skills are already elderly, because in this industry, it is difficult to learn real skills within ten or twenty years.
People like me should be considered an exception. I am naturally more sensitive to things in this industry and learn quickly.
But I have been in this industry for a long time. My grandfather has been teaching me these things since I was a child. If you calculate carefully, I have actually been in this industry for more than ten years. It is only in the past two years that I have really started to become an artist.
Wang Shaoyang naturally knows that I am the master of horse gaming, so he is still very polite to me.
"Mr. Li, I have heard of your name for a long time. I didn't expect to see you in person today. You are much younger than I thought."
Wang Shaoyang sat opposite me, looked at me and smiled.
The furnishings of the Ma family are very ancient, with a low table and two futons placed on the floor, and everyone sitting on the floor.
"My master is young and promising, and he is successful in his youth."
Ma Boyi sat next to him, poured a glass of wine for Wang Shaoyang and me, and then said proudly.
"Shut up and stop using idioms."
I glared at him, "How come I've become a successful young man?"
After being scolded by me, Ma Game immediately withered.
Wang Shaoyang couldn't help laughing, "It seems that only the Third Master and you can control this kid Yi."
After he finished speaking, he also realized that he had made a mistake and suddenly became embarrassed.
Mr. Ma has just gone, and now he is still having funeral arrangements. It is really not good to mention the old man in front of Ma Youyi.
"By the way, what's going on over there in the Qinling Mountains? I heard from Brother Ma that someone set up the situation, right?"
I quickly changed the topic and asked Wang Shaoyang.
"right."
Speaking of this, Wang Shaoyang's face suddenly became serious.
He nodded, then frowned and said: "When we passed by, we didn't realize that the place had been set up by someone. Mainly because the other party's tactics were very clever and difficult to detect at all, so we just started preparing to do the ritual normally. , who knew that as soon as it got dark, the town would suddenly look different. At that time, Beichuan died immediately. The third master realized that something was wrong, and quickly took me away. As a result, when he came out, he ran into me directly. Yin soldiers in the aisle."
"The Yin soldiers' aisle?"
When I heard this, my color also changed.
This situation is rare. Although Yin soldiers are also in the state of ghosts and spirits, they are completely different concepts from ghosts.
People who are heretical and practice evil methods generally use the method of opening the Yin altar and borrowing the Yin soldiers. However, this thing is a double-edged sword. Once borrowed, it will not be able to suppress it, and it will easily suffer backlash. , and will end up in an eternal fate, so even those who practice evil methods do not dare to borrow such things as Yin soldiers easily.
As for what Wang Shaoyang calls the passage of Yin soldiers, they are not ordinary borrowed Yin soldiers. I know very well what that means. Yin soldiers are not borrowed by people using magic techniques, so they are not subject to human control, and this phenomenon is estimated to be certain. It's not just a few or a dozen Yin soldiers, it's probably an army of Yin soldiers.
