Chapter 79 Strain
Ximenqing
Ximenqing doesn't want to do it anymore. He sat in the elegant room of the Osmanthus Building with extreme regret. Why didn't he drive Li Wu out at the beginning, but led the wolf into the room because of luck.
He doesn't know any of the seven people around him. These are all brought by Li Wu. These people came to the Osmanthus Tower for dinner with themselves and waited to receive the Osmanthus Tower. I'm afraid it's only nominally so. As long as they successfully kill Wu Song, they will no longer need themselves, and I'm afraid they will be kicked away. If the matter is exposed, Li Wu can sneak away and point all the traces of suspicions to Ximen Qing, and Li Wu can hide in the shadows and wait for the opportunity to kill Wu Song next time.
Ximenqing saw through all this, but for him, the best way to survive was to pretend to be stupid. I hope Li Wu will think that he is just a prodigal son who likes women, and maybe he can still live like this.
Ximenqing deliberately ordered all the dishes when ordering, and only ordered the amount of breakfast and drinking. He hoped that such a method could be used to make Wu Da aware of it, and then guard against Li Wu. At this time, Ximen Qing was already inclined to Wu Song in the confrontation between the two sides. If Wu Song can kill Li Wu, with his own tip-in, he at least has the opportunity to leave Yanggu to live elsewhere. If Li Wu wins, Ximen Qing knows too much. I'm afraid that if he pretends to be stupid, he will not escape the fate of death.
But Wuda is just a dwarf. It's hard to say whether he can understand the mystery of ordering.
"Guys, I don't ask where you come from. It's not good for me to know too much. But I really appreciate you all coming from afar and helping me with Ximenqing. What I ordered just now are all the specialty dishes of Osmanthus Building. You can have a full meal and then do big things. I'll give you a toast first." Ximen Qing picked up the glass.
The other seven people were silent, but only after Ximen Qing drank wine, they drank it all.
Because they don't talk, Simon Qing has nothing to say. Eight people had to sit so dry and wait for the passage of time.
Phoenix
Phoenix is very depressed. It was very uncomfortable to bump on the horse's back. He regretted agreeing to Wu Song. In fact, he had long known that it was definitely not good to promise Wu Song, but Wu Song always grasped Phoenix's interests and made him unable to refuse.
For example, this time, Wu Song asked Phoenix to preside over Qi Si's yin relatives for him, and described the ceremony of yin relatives as extremely funny. He also told Phoenix that what he wanted to open was the tomb that may have been corpseed. Phoenix has not been a person for a long time and has endless curiosity about all kinds of new things. For him, it is not good to walk outside and see more. But Phoenix can't do many things. Although he has gone through something on Haisha, Haisha is after all a female stream and there are too few occasions to go. The girl was resurrected because of hatred at that time.
Now that you think about it, it's really boring on the sea sand. Phoenix rode on horseback and thought with his chin.
Faceless people are really a group of interesting people. Their bodies have been separated from the life form of ordinary people, and they can become anyone who wants to become a human without much effort. Phoenix twisted his neck. Wu Song's beardless chin was really good. When he was in the form of a county magistrate, the beard on his chin would make his habitual movements very uncomfortable.
"Are you tired? Why don't we take a break?" The official next to him asked attentively.
Yes, I'm Wu Song now, not the county magistrate. Phoenix is not used to dressing up as Wu Song. He knows that a real faceless person takes a lot of time to learn to imitate a person. After all, secret art can only change the appearance and voice, language and movement habits, and the way of thinking about problems, which requires diligent practice.
Phoenix tried to learn from Wu Song's appearance: "Don't be tired, keep moving forward. We have to come back before dinner. We can't delay everyone's business.
I am a county magistrate, and it seems that I don't have so many officials to pay attention to me. Wu Song is really majestic. This made Phoenix more and more interesting. He straightened his waist and sat on the horse. At this time, although it was Shuofeng cut the surface, in the view of Phoenix, which transcends life and death, it is now bathed in the spring breeze.
But soon, the pain of bumpy once again replaced this spring reverie.
"I said, how far is it from the cemetery of Qi Si?" Phoenix asked impatiently.
"It's almost there, at most a moment. The location of this cemetery was chosen by Master An Daoman during his lifetime, and the place was indeed a little strange. But Master An has a good relationship with you, so the brothers didn't say much. The official replied.
Phoenix thought about it for a while before he realized it. Does this mean that I suffer for myself? These people's mouths are really sharp. I really want to clean them up, and I don't know how Wu Song usually endured it.
But if it is the cemetery deliberately chosen by the old man, it should not be bad. After spending so much effort to choose the cemetery, the old man had already seen a day when there would be a corpse. When a person dies, he dies. It's not so easy to come back to life. Phoenix is extremely proud because he has mastered the law of life and death, and sneers at any existence that wants to shuttle between life and death.
He looked at the team he led with great interest. Less than 20 officials, only three or four of whom are older are riding horses, and the rest are walking. Two carriages, pulling two coffins and some paper work respectively, followed by four civil husbands, who should carry coffins for a while. In addition, there are three people, who are said to be playing the piano. I heard that there is a piano playing in it, which sounds very good. This makes Phoenix's heart full of expectations.
After a while, the crowd suddenly stopped. The voice of the official next to him sounded: "It's all here."
Phoenix smiled like an order of amnesty and jumped down from the horse. He secretly rubbed his already painful buttocks. When you go back, you'd better find a way to walk. If you ride back, I'm afraid you won't be able to get off the horse. Phoenix thought secretly in his heart.
But then, he was stunned by the situation in front of him, and the layout of the cemetery was really strange. Normally, if you deliberately prepare for corpse changes, you should choose the cemetery on the sunny side to let the sun dispel the cold air. The south of the mountain is the north of the water, and the north of the mountain is the south of the water. In the south of this cemetery, there is a small hill bag. Although it does not block the sun, it is already in the shade of feng shui. This location will not only not inhibit the corpse transformation, but also promote the occurrence of the corpse transformation. What on earth does that old man mean?
But in the end, this is something Wu Song should worry about. I'm just responsible for watching the fun. It's better that all the corpses in Yanggu County have been changed, and I won't be a person. Hahaha. Phoenix was very happy to think of this.
"All heads? So now is the beginning?" The official next to him suddenly asked.
Phoenix found that everyone was staring at him, which made him a little embarrassed. Sure enough, I can't help but be stunned and let them see the jokes. Fortunately, what they joke about are all Wu Song, which has nothing to do with me.
"Well, let's begin. You should dig up Qi Si's grave first, right? Phoenix was afraid that he had misremembered the program, so he asked the official beside him.
"You're right, then let's start." The official replied.
Phoenix waved his hand, and then saw two officials taking the shovel pickaxe from the carriage and starting to dig graves.
"Why didn't you set up a monument for Qi Si?" Phoenix looked at the bare grave bag and asked puzzledly.
"You are not from Yanggu County, and you may not know much about local customs. Fourth Master Qi, there is no one at home. This grave can also be said to be a masterless grave. It is unlucky for this kind of grave to be set up. It is said that in this way, the dead will miss the sun, unwilling to enter reincarnation, and become a lonely ghost. It seemed that this official knew a lot, and Phoenix nodded.
Where is there any reincarnation? Death is death. It may be a good thing to become a lonely ghost and not enter the world of the dead. Phoenix thought happily in his heart.
