At that moment, I felt that except for Zhuang Xiuyu coming from Mo Bei, other martial arts sects in the west might not be able to come.
She took a deep breath and wiped her sweat. She felt that she had probably met more important people today than she had ever seen before.
Just as he was about to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, he heard another voice outside the door.
"Oh, Master Chang~~~"
The sincere cry almost made Chang Sheng think that it was not her brother who died, but the other person's brother.
Outside the door, a fat white man in brocade clothes walked into the mourning hall with runny nose and tears, and rushed towards Chang Sheng.
"Hey, sister of the Chang family, you should take good care of yourself. Now that the head of the Chang family has passed away, the Chang family is counting on you~~~"
Thanks to Chang Sheng's cleverness, he dodged and avoided the fat man's embrace.
Fatty Bai jumped in and wiped his nose casually without any embarrassment.
"Sister Chang, I'm here to see our brother."
Chang Sheng looked at the fat white man with disdain. This guy was so familiar to her. She had never seen him before. He spoke like a girl or a brother, and he called him kindly.
"Who are you?"
Yan Sihai and Wu Suanzi stopped in front of Chang Sheng at the same time.
Fatty Bai looked at Chang Sheng behind them eagerly. He wiped his little hands on the brocade clothes twice and said with a smile.
"This is the owner of Xuejiazhuang in Guangling City, Xue Guangyuan."
"Why do the owners of Xuejiazhuang's generation look like a drunkard?"
Yan Sihai looked at Xue Guangyuan, and then said with disdain.
Xue Guangyuan's stomach bulged and he was not angry at all.
"Hehe, Mr. Ghost Doctor is such a person, naturally he will look down on a little person like me."
Yan Sihai pointed at his nose and threatened
"Looking at your lustful look, you are not a good person. Stay away from us."
Xue Guangyuan patted his belly and took a step forward secretly, but Wu Suanzi saw it and stepped back.
He doesn't seem to have a bad temper, he just laughs.
"I hit it off with the Chang family girl, but we are not allowed to get close to each other."
"roll!"
Wu Suanzi scolded angrily.
Seeing the two old men holding Chang Sheng firmly behind him, with no chance at all, he had no choice but to retreat angrily.
After offering the incense, he wanted to take the opportunity to get in front of Chang Sheng, but he was stared at by the two elders.
"Master Xue has had a hard journey, I will ask someone to take you to the living room to rest."
Xue Guangyuan became energetic again when he saw Chang Sheng talking to him.
He waved to Chang Sheng through the two elders.
"Ms. Chang, I'll wait for you in the living room."
"Look at how wretched he is."
Wu Suanzi said with disdain.
Yan Sihai was even more furious, holding an unknown black pill in his hand. If it wasn't a bad day for seeing blood, he would have poisoned the fat man immediately.
"Xiaoyu, what is the status of Xuejiazhuang in the western martial arts world?"
Seeing Xue Guangyuan leaving, Chang Sheng took a breath, then rolled his eyes and looked at Zhuang Xiuyu aside.
"ah?"
Zhuang Xiuyu was still thinking about Chang An and was shocked.
"Oh, when I was at the foot of the mountain, I heard that the Xue Family Village is the first aristocratic family in Guangling City, but this family is not very active in the world. Like our family, they are all engaged in business, and there are many industries in the west."
"Oh? He's also a businessman? No wonder he looks so rich."
Chang Sheng looked at the direction in which Xue Guangyuan was leaving with some deep meaning.
It was noon, and in one hour it would be time for the funeral.
A man came in a hurry, sweating profusely.
"Oh, I'm late. I'm late. Miss Chang, don't blame me."
As soon as this man entered the mourning hall, he walked towards Chang Sheng with an apologetic look on his face.
Chang Sheng took a look at this man. He was in his early thirties, his face was very pale, and he looked a little thin. He didn't look like a Jianghu person. At a glance, it would make people think that this man was not in good health.
This person holds a fist
"I'm at Lanling Tangmen, Tang Fenglin."
As soon as these words came out, the two old men Yan Sihai and Wu Suanzi immediately stopped in front of Chang Sheng, their expressions extremely solemn.
"People from the Tang Clan are also here to join in the fun?"
As Yan Sihai spoke, his eyes looked up and down Tang Fenglin countless times.
Chang Sheng found it strange that the other party only announced his family status, but these two old men were so afraid.
Tang Fenglin was not surprised and explained to Chang Sheng with a wry smile.
"I don't blame these two. When people in the world hear the name of Tang Sect, they are afraid to avoid it."
"What's going on?"
"Shengwazi, you are young and have never heard of the reputation of the Tang Sect in Shuzhou back then. In the martial arts area to the west, except for Jiange, people from other sects all retreated when they saw people from the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect's hidden weapons were unique in the world, and their assassination skills were even more powerful. Even more so than the Twelfth Floor. At its peak, within two years, more than thirty sect leaders in the west were killed by hidden weapons of the Tang Sect. They were no less comparable to the Xiangxi Prefecture Corpse Exorcist Sect that later brought disaster to the party. Give more.”
"Shuzhou Tangmen? Isn't it Lanling Tangmen?"
"Thirty years ago, the three sects besieged Xiangxi Prefecture and destroyed the corpse-expelling valley. They also drove the Tang sect out of Shuzhou. However, the steward of Jiajiazhuang, Jia Huan, one of the ten masters at the time, did not think about it. As crazy as the Corpse Exorcist Sect, they only removed the masters above the core level in the sect, but from then on, the inheritance of the Tang Sect was also cut off. I heard that a very talented female disciple was born a few years ago. It is a pity that die young."
"What Mr. Ghost Doctor said is true, our Tang Sect is different from the past."
"hehe."
Yan Sihai sneered
"Although the Tang Sect is different from the past, with the Tang Sect's methods, it is still very easy to do something evil."
Tang Fenglin shook his head helplessly and took two steps back.
Afterwards, a stick of incense was placed in front of the soul and he was led out of the mourning hall.
Half an hour later, Yan Sihai looked outside the door, but no one came in again.
"I'm afraid no one will come. Just get ready. In a while, he will be buried."
He gave orders to his servants.
"Old Yan, go and entertain the leaders in the living room."
Yan Sihai nodded and immediately walked out of the mourning hall.
Half an hour later.
"Boom!"
After the gong sounded, everyone gathered in the mourning hall.
The priest invited by the Chang family wrote a cyan elegiac couplet, and the servants of the mansion came forward and hammered iron nails on the four sides of the coffin to seal it completely.
"That's not right. Why seal the coffin first?"
Among the crowd, Xue Guangyuan looked at the situation in the mourning hall and murmured in a low voice.
He stood among the northern sect leaders, but did not stand with Tang Fenglin, who also came from the west. It seemed that people in the west were avoiding the Tang Sect.
Next to Xue Guangyuan stood Li Luming from the Qingyu Sect, and Li Liu understood him.
"You are not from the Central Plains. How do you know that the customs of the Central Plains are not like this?"
Xue Guangyuan chuckled
"What Brother Li said is that I just feel a little strange. From the time I came in until now, I haven't met the Chang family leader. I feel it's a pity that such a heroic figure has never had the chance to meet."
As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Xue Guangyuan mentioned this casually, which made the leaders around him murmur in their hearts.
Some people's faces even became ugly.
"Yes, we have come all the way here and have never met the head of the Chang family. This is a bit unreasonable."
"You haven't seen it either?"
Xue Guangyuan was excited.
The people around me looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads.
Xue Guangyuan looked at Li Luming
"This is a little strange."
Not only Li Luming, but all the leaders in the north also started to think about it.
Soon, the servants sealed the coffin.
"Lift the coffin!"
As Wu Suanzi, who was presiding over the burial ceremony, shouted loudly, six strong servants lifted the coffin.
Then, a loud cry came from in front of the Chang Mansion.
The mourners, who had been prepared long ago, began their shocking performance of weeping ghosts and gods.
Soon, the funeral procession left Chang Mansion, walked onto the street, and walked all the way out of the city.
"Where are we going?"
Xue Guangyuan saw that they were leaving the city.
"We should go to the Tomb of Heroes."
Gao Yunting said.
"Oh, it took Chang An three years to build the Tomb of Heroes? Just in time to go and see what kind of place the Tomb of Heroes where more than two thousand heroic spirits are buried is."
Because so many relatives and friends came, the funeral procession was very long.
Two hours later, the mighty funeral procession finally saw the small slope in the distance.
At this time, the sky had become very dark. On the small slope, the densely packed stone tablets looked like human figures from a distance, exuding a strange aura.
Looking at the small soil slope in the distance, Xue Guangyuan shivered all over.
"This place is so evil."
"Haha, places with many dead people naturally have strong evil spirits."
Tang Fenglin walked up to Xue Guangyuan at some point.
Xue Guangyuan turned around and almost lost his mind. At this time, they left the official road and walked to the dirt road. The moonlight shone on half of Tang Fenglin's face, while the other half was covered by the shadow of the trees on the side. Blocking the moonlight, when his face turned around, it was half-dark and really looked weird.
"You're going to scare me to death."
Xue Guangyuan took three steps back, subconsciously staying away from him.
Tang Fenglin sneered and said disdainfully
"We are all Jianghu people, why are we so scared?"
When Xue Guangyuan heard this, he saw the strange looks from the people around him, and his face suddenly turned red.
"You are a down-and-out Tang sect, what qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
Tang Fenglin came to Qingzhou today, and almost no one among so many leaders gave him a good look. Now that he was so despised by Xue Guangyuan, who also came from the west, he immediately became angry.
"Why, could it be that I'm the one who's afraid?"
Xue Guangyuan became angry because of shame
"Shut up, you don't even look at it. There are so many leaders here, who can think highly of you?"
"Whoosh!"
Tang Fenglin didn't say much, but he took action directly. Taking advantage of the dim night, he swung a flying knife out of his sleeve.
The leaders around them didn't expect that the two of them would start fighting as soon as they disagreed.
Xue Guangyuan's complexion changed
"Okay, I'm right. You're probably going to be furious now. It doesn't matter. A sect like the Tang Sect should have been wiped out thirty years ago. Let me do a good deed for the Western martial arts world today!"
He was very flexible and rolled in the air to avoid the flying knife. Then he rushed towards Tang Fenglin, stretched out his hand and launched a palm wind, hitting the opponent directly.
"boom!"
At this moment, a figure stopped in front of Tang Fenglin and exchanged palms with Xue Guangyuan.
Xue Guangyuan's whole body fell back, blood surged in his body, and he looked at this person warily.
"Hu Qiuye, why are you meddling in other people's business?"
The person who came was none other than Hu Qiuye, the master of Qingmu Hall.
"Today is the day when the Chang Family Master is buried. You are so unruly here. How unbecoming are you? We will fight you back!"
Hu Qiuye scolded.
When Xue Guangyuan heard this, he stopped taking action and just gave Tang Fenglin a vicious look.
"You're lucky!"
Not to be outdone, Tang Fenglin looked at Xue Guangyuan. At that look, the leaders around him felt that the two of them were like fire and water, and they wanted to kill each other.
