On the same day that Brother Sun invited Daxie to go fishing, Zu Tingfeng also started to take action.
On that day, the Zu Gang leader asked the Zhenyun Gang's younger brothers to send an invitation to all the more respectable Green Forest Road figures currently gathered in Guangzhou.
The content of the invitation is roughly as follows: My ancestor Tingfeng has found a way to find out the truth about Master Gong's death, so I invite everyone to gather at Master Gong's grave tomorrow to witness how I solved this "leading case" "of.
As soon as this incident came out, the entire Green Forest Road, as well as people from the government such as Li Chongda and Bai Zhulong, were all shocked.
Everyone feels strange: It has been many days since your ancestor Tingfeng came to Guangzhou. Earlier, when Master Gong was not buried, you did not make any movement. Now that people are almost here on April 7th, you suddenly say that there is Is there any way to solve the case? Or decide the case at the grave? What kind of trick is this? Are you trying to trick us all into that wilderness in the middle of the night and catch them all?
But doubts are doubts, and incomprehensions are incomprehensible. How can they not go?
That's obviously not possible...
According to the normal thinking - no matter whether the ancestor gang leader can solve the case or not, it is always okay to go and have a look. At most, the trip will be in vain.
To put it to the extreme - if the Zhenyun Gang really has that strength and can kill all the Green Forest Dao predators except themselves overnight in a place that is not their own base, then the leading position will be given to his ancestors. It’s time to listen to the wind.
…………
As the saying goes, if you have books, you will be long; if you don’t have books, you will be short.
So when we transfer the paragraph, it will be the next day.
It was night, and midnight (i.e. eleven o'clock in the evening) had just arrived, and the scene in front of Master Gong's grave was already bustling with activity.
Whether it was the big guys who had received the invitation or those who had not received the invitation but had learned the news, they all came.
The Zhenyun Gang, Cangdu Gang, Longmen Gang, Tingfeng Tower, Hunyuan Star Gate, Liu Men, etc. These prominent figures stand closer to the front (closer to the tomb), while those who do not Green forest heroes and stragglers classified into sects and gangs stood further back.
Anyway, the total number of people from all walks of life must be hundreds of people.
There is no doubt that everyone wants to see how Zu Tingfeng is going to solve this leading case.
The people of the Zhenyun Gang were also well prepared. During the day, they set up a large number of torches and lanterns nearby. At this moment, these light sources illuminated the cemetery brightly. I wonder if they thought there was a night market here. .
"Comrades, and... a few adults." Zu Tingfeng was impatient. When he saw that the time had come, he stopped procrastinating, stood on a stool, clasped his fists and cupped his hands, and said loudly, "Zu He is a rough man. I won’t go on about those empty polite words. Let’s get straight to the point..." He paused for half a second and said, "Today Zu invites everyone to come, not for anything else, but for the sake of the general. Finding out the truth about Mr. Gong’s death and making it public can be considered as a contribution to Green Forest.”
Before he finished speaking, a voice answered in a sinister tone: "Huh... Find out the truth? Isn't it the thief calling for the thief?"
I have to say, this Gong Jingyi is really a good compliment. Although everyone knows that Zu Tingfeng and Gong Lianjun are not on good terms, but now only Gong Jingyi will point out this sentence in front of others, and others really dare not say it nonsense. .
"Oh?" Zu Tingfeng heard this and immediately turned his attention to Gong Jingyi, who was standing at the front of the crowd, "Master Gong, do you not trust Zu?"
"Why are you pretending?" Gong Jingyi was also rude to the Zu gang leader, "Who doesn't know that you are at odds with my father? Maybe you were the one who killed the person... It's up to you to find out the real culprit. If it's not a thief, what's the point of catching a thief? "
"Hey, that's not right." The next second, before Zu Tingfeng could argue, Huang Donglai intervened first and said to Gong Jingyi, "Young Master Gong, you even said it was 'maybe', isn't that nonsense? Are you just relying on speculation without any evidence? There are so many people in the world who don’t get along with each other. No matter whether it’s in the rivers, lakes or green forest, as long as you hang out on the road, you will naturally have interests with others... If you have people you can talk to, you will have talks. You won’t come, but that doesn’t mean that if you die one day, someone with whom you have a bad relationship will definitely kill you.”
What Brother Huang said does make sense.
Zu Tingfeng felt very comfortable listening to it, and thought to himself: "Huh? Looking at it this way, nephew Huang Xian is actually facing me. Then why did they avoid me when I went to pick them up a few days ago?"
He thought for a few seconds and then suddenly realized: "Oh! I understand!"
What did the Zu Gang Leader understand at this time?
To put it simply: He concluded that Huang Donglai and the others deliberately avoided his reception and wooing in the past few days to avoid suspicion; it was precisely because they were not picked up by him at the beginning, and they have never had anything to do with the Zhenyun Gang since then. Contact, so now that Huang Donglai stands up to speak for him, it sounds like "fair words".
Thinking of this, Zu Tingfeng couldn't help but secretly sigh: "Nephew Huang's hands are really high. He is more than one level higher than my strategy. Haha... Okay! Okay, okay, worthy of being the queen of Huangmen, I will say Mr. Huang has cooperated with me for many years, and his son will not deliberately go against me. It seems that I was shallow before."
Gang Leader Zu was thinking wildly, while on the other side, Gong Jingyi got into a fight with Huang Donglai again: "Ha! OK, even if he didn't kill the person, then let's take a step back... It's been almost a month since my father died. No one could find a bird before, but now that people have been buried for so long, his surname is Zu, and he suddenly says that he can find something? Don’t you think this is ridiculous? "
His point of view is something that most people present, including Shuang Xie, have not thought about.
The most likely and logical hypothesis that Sun and Huang can think of at present is that Zu Tingfeng found a very powerful puppeteer and planned to "open the coffin and conduct an autopsy," so he called everyone to wait at Master Gong's grave. .
However...
"Ha! Ridiculous?" When Zu Tingfeng heard what Gong Jingyi said, he smiled boldly and continued, "That's good. I originally thought this was ridiculous, but the facts are in front of us. It's okay not to believe it."
"Chief Ancestor, what exactly are you going to do? Just don't be too secretive and tell everyone clearly." Ah Ba in the crowd still raised a more constructive question.
"Easy to say." Zu Tingfeng said and raised his hand.
At the same second, the Zhenyun Gang members behind him also cooperated to make way for a young man who appeared to everyone to be dressed very strangely.
"This... is the 'Onmyoji' invited by Zu from Japan." Zu Tingfeng introduced to everyone, "Master Kamo Hayato."
As soon as the words fell, as expected, the crowd present was in an uproar.
"Brother Huang, what kind of path is this? Is it real or fake?" As a time traveler, Sun Yixie is no stranger to the word "Onmyoji" and its meaning, so at this moment he asked Huang Donglai in a low voice.
"How do I know what his path is? Today is the first time I know that there are onmyojis in this world." Huang Dong replied; he was telling the truth, because when he was practicing in the mountains, his master never told him about the Central Plains. Is there anyone else who knows magic outside of this place?
"Ah? Isn't he your Japanese counterpart? You should know." Sun Yixie started to talk nonsense.
"He is still your fellow Japanese, why don't you ask yourself?" Huang Donglai's retort came out of his mouth.
"Go away! You are from the same country as the Japanese!" Sun Yixie said crookedly, "Also, listen to this guy's name. Why is it called 'harming others'? How can he be called 'self-interested'? "
"Tsk..." Huang Donglai looked at Sun Yixie with disgust, as if he were an illiterate, "That's a falcon."
"Yes, it's 'yin damage'." Sun Yixie said, "Do you think I can't read?"
"What the hell...hey, forget it." Huang Donglai held his forehead and shook his head, giving up explaining.
While the two of them were chatting these words, the crowd around them slowly became quiet.
Immediately afterwards, an outstanding person asked again: "I've never heard of Onmyoji and Bagua Master! Why are you looking for him? Isn't it because you want to dance with a great master?"
This shout came from the middle of the crowd.
With the shouts, everyone followed the sound, and soon they saw Da Dai lying on a roofless sedan chair, his arms fixed by wooden boards and bandages, and his head was wrapped with many bandages.
"Uh... Hall Master Lei..." When Zu Tingfeng answered, his tone was a little hesitant, because he was also startled by Da Da's appearance, "What are you..."
"What! I slipped by the river, can't you? Have you never fallen down before?" Da Dai is now like a firecracker, exploding at a moment's notice, so angry.
"Okay..." Zu Tingfeng could tell that the other party was afraid that he might have something to hide, so it was better not to ask any more questions, so he quickly brought the topic back on track and continued, "What Hall Master Lei said should also be of concern to everyone present. Yes, Zu doesn’t want to waste any more words to convince you. After all, no matter how much I say... it’s not as good as seeing is believing.” He paused for two seconds, and then made a gesture of invitation to Kamo, “I’ll just ask for congratulations.” Master Mao is here to practice 'channelling', and once Master Gong's soul arrives, the authenticity will become apparent."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone started making noise again.
Although the discussion was coming and going, no one was questioning or interrupting loudly anymore.
Master Kamo didn't waste any time. He knelt down on a prepared straw mat and began to "channel".
The process of his "channelling" was unexpectedly simple - he just had to sit in front of the deceased's grave, close his eyes, mutter something, and then sway his upper body, and that was done.
To be honest... those fake psychics in modern Japanese variety shows look more real than him.
Because when those swindlers do this, they often use props to create a sense of ceremony; some who are good at deception will chat with their family members in advance to get some information from others. .
If they just sit there without using any props, without talking to any acquaintances of the deceased, and wander around when they close their eyes, and when they open their eyes they say that they have "received the spirit", then most people will definitely think that this person is unprofessional.
"What the hell is this? It's so unprofessional." That's how Sun Yixie felt now, "If someone named Zu is looking for someone to perform as a master, he should also find someone decent. Isn't it okay to harm others?"
"I understand..." Fortunately, Huang Donglai is knowledgeable. He looked at Kamo intently and knew that the other party was indeed capable, "This is the so-called 'Spirit Summoning Physique'..."
"Huh? What do you mean? Is this guy really psychic?" Sun Yixie asked curiously, "No way... you can't even do this kind of thing, right?"
"This is called specialization in the arts... For example, there are some things that we Taoist priests can do easily, but monks can't do. There are also some things that monks can do easily, but we can't do... The same thing should be true for their Onmyoji masters," Huang Donglai explained. Said, "Let's take his 'Spirit Summoning Physique' as an example. As far as I know, people with this kind of physique can use 'spells' easily without having to study the 'Tao' too deeply. The earth 'invites gods' and 'channels spirits'. If the bloodline is pure enough, the yin and yang eyes will be opened as soon as you are born..."
"Oh, are you so awesome?" Sun Yixie exclaimed.
"Awesomeness is awesome, but it comes with a price." Huang Dong said back and forth, "This kind of physique is the same as the so-called'innate spiritual bone', it is really unique, and different from the'innate spiritual bone', If a person with a spirit-calling physique is not protected and guided by someone knowledgeable, he may be taken over by ghosts or something else at a very young age or he may go crazy and die..."
When Sun Yixie heard this, he thought for a few seconds and then said, "Then Hayato Kamo can live so long and become a professional, does that mean he comes from a noble family?"
"Eighty percent, right." Huang Donglai said, "Speaking of the legendary 'Onmyoji' we have heard of in the previous universe, it seems that most of them are from aristocratic families, right?"
What they thought was correct, but they didn't think deeply about it, and they didn't know anything... In this universe, the existing Onmyoji families have a huge obsession with the purity of the blood of their heirs. In order to ensure In every generation, at least one person with extremely pure "spiritual summoning physique" becomes the head of the family, and they can do almost anything.
Preventing one's descendants from free love and "promoting birth" is already a trivial matter. Since people with "spiritual summoning physiques" are very rare among the people, even if they exist, they may encounter mishaps before they are discovered. Therefore, the relationship between those Onmyoji families Intermarriage is the norm, and in some eras when the population is declining, it is common for families to exchange, or even compete for, the women of the other family.
Descendants like Kamo Hayato who are not direct descendants and whose bloodline is not so pure can actually live easier and freer.
"Well--"
Finally, with a groan with a "duplicate sound", Kamo's "channeling" was completed.
When he opened his eyes again, not only did his face turn pale, but his entire face looked like a different person.
"I really can't live without death..."
After Kamo opened his eyes, as soon as he said these first words, the scalps of those in the Longmen Gang went numb.
First, because what came out of Hemo's throat were the voices of two people, one was his own and the other was Gong Lianjun's. The two voices overlapped together, which was very strange.
The second reason is because of the tone in which he said these words. Anyone who is familiar with Gong Lianjun will immediately understand that this is Mr. Gong himself.
"If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I won't be able to stay long." He Mao, or Gong Lianjun, after scanning the surroundings, did not show any surprise and just said calmly.
"Gang leader! Is it really you? Gang leader!" Ah Ba reacted so quickly. While pretending to be excited, he walked out of the crowd. Before he had even taken two steps, he staggered to his knees and fell to his knees. As he landed on the ground, his tears fell.
"Gang Leader——" Although Da Dai's reaction was half a beat slower than Ah Fan's, his movements were more powerful. When he couldn't move his hands, he exerted force on his lower body and jumped up from the sedan chair. He rushed to the front of the crowd and knelt down.
"Dad!" Gong Jingyi saw that the two outsiders were more excited than his own son and couldn't fall behind. He quickly knelt down and climbed all the way to his "father" on his knees.
Look at Gong Lianjun again. When he saw these three people surrounding him, he immediately stood up and kicked Ah Ba in the heart: "You smiling tiger!" Then he kicked him in the same way. He kicked Gong Jingyi loudly and said, "You troublemaker!" After kicking him, he turned to Gong Jingyi, changed his feet to hands, and cursed, "And you are a prodigal son!" At the same time, he slapped Gong Jingyi in the mouth, and slapped Gong Jingyi hard. It spun twice in mid-air, flew one meter, and then landed.
If these three moves continue, the effect will be significant.
Originally, Ah Fen, Da Xi and Gong Jingyi were only 70% confident and 30% doubtful, but now they are sure that this is the real Mr. Gong in front of them.
Because beatings and scoldings like this will not be shown in front of any outsiders. Only the parties who have experienced it know... When they do something wrong, Master Gong beats them and scolds them like this in private. of.
"Let it go! Don't pretend to mourn for me here! It's embarrassing!" The dragon head is the dragon head, and he is also the eldest brother of Green Forest Road after death. In terms of momentum alone, he is even more powerful now than when he was alive.
And when his strange "accent" resounded through the cemetery at night, others present felt that the scene was a bit permeating.
"Master Gong." At this time, Zu Tingfeng braved himself, cupped his fists and raised his hands, and said to Gong Lianjun in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I am disturbing your peace for no other reason than that I want to hear you say it yourself. Who took your life...so that everyone can get justice for you."
"Hmph..." Gong Lianjun heard this and sneered, "Justice... to put it nicely, isn't it just that I want to settle the matter as soon as possible, so that I can legitimately grab the leading position?"
What he said was true and explicit.
Zu Tingfeng dared to answer: "Yes, you can say that."
"Ha! Hahahaha..." Gong Lianjun laughed out loud after hearing this, "Okay! As expected of the leader of the ancestral gang, you dare to do what you do! I, Gong Lianjun, admire you!"
"Each other." Zu Tingfeng's words came out of emotion.
Although these two people have never had a friendly chat or a glass of wine, this does not affect their understanding and admiration for each other.
Many of these high-ranking people who have been in Tao'er for many years are like this - the ones they admire the most are often their old enemies, and the ones who are most annoying, despised, and disgusted... are the "most powerful people" around them. Love family and friends.”
"Everyone here today thinks that Zu Tingfeng will find someone to plot against me... They are all fucking idiots!" Gong Lianjun then scolded his son.
Zu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and thought to himself that this person named Gong is fine. This means that even though a person is dead, his words are good, right?
Unexpectedly, Gong Lianjun's next sentence was: "But if you ask me, the most suitable person to take over the 'Dragon Head' class is Brother Hao Jing Yu Hao. If you are named Zu, you are not even close to him."
"I'm going to throw your ashes away when I turn around..." Zu Tingfeng felt like he was riding in an elevator, sometimes happy and sometimes cursing.
"But who to choose in the end has to be decided by you living people. It's useless for me to see who I favor. If I had seen through it, I wouldn't have died." Gong Lianjun's words can be described as repeated leaps. It's like saying nothing, but he finally said something useful, "Okay, you didn't come to listen to me talk about this. Don't you just want to know who killed me? That's easy..." Yan At this point, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at someone in the crowd, "That's him!"
Swish, swish, swish...
At this moment, everyone looked in the direction he pointed.
The person he identified also had a look of horror on his face.
"That's him!" Gong Lianjun immediately read out the other person's nickname, "Master Su!"
