Chapter 4 Funeral

Around Hong Fan, those who had been talking loudly, praying with their hands clasped together, and even Hong Fu, who came to the banquet just for the sake of gaining knowledge, all had their eyes turned red and started crying.

It's as if he couldn't prove his sincerity to Xingjun otherwise.

Amidst the continuous sobs, Hong Fan, who was not feeling sad at all, actually felt that his nose was vaguely sore.

【Human beings are indeed social animals.】

He lowered his head slightly to hide his unsociability, thinking in his mind.

When the four high-level cavalrymen passed by, Hong Fan raised his head again for a moment and cast his gaze towards the hearse pulled by four horses.

This hearse is not covered.

The black lacquered sandalwood body is covered with several layers of purple velvet.

The body of King Jingsha Xing was lying on his back wearing a gold crown, armor, and dragon-patterned gold silk.

Looking at Xingjun's remains, Hong Fan couldn't help but be surprised.

The hearse passed by slowly, and it had just arrived at Shenshi (three o'clock in the afternoon).

Hong Fan nodded and pretended that nothing happened.

Hong Fan muttered silently.

The bright light shines everywhere, plating everything with gold.

"That's Yanliu Lane over there, where singing girls make a living by hooking up bars."

The crying followed without surprise.

As soon as the leader Jingsha Xingjun left, the title of No. 1 in the Jinhai fell to Hong Jian, the head of the Hong family - this Hong Jian was the biological father of the person who had passed through Hong Fan's soul.

There are about twenty tables inside in the main hall at the second entrance, where real distinguished guests are entertained.

In the past, Aunt Liu used her brocade scarf to get a full belly. How could it compare to today's richness?

Hong Fan, who had only been able to eat half a full meal every day for the past three days, was not reserved and started eating big.

On Anning Street, although the children from various families stopped crying, they still waited in silence.

At this time, the crying was reaching its peak.

All kinds of splendor and exquisiteness are just to let people know at a glance the respectability of the Hong family in Jinhai.

This turned out to be a mummy!

The hair has completely fallen off, the muscles are contracted, and the hideous roots of the teeth are exposed...

At the entrance of the main hall, a graceful woman dressed in fine clothes and wearing a gold hairpin, accompanied by a tall young man, walked out quickly to greet her.

The etiquette is not over yet.

The song is gentle and plaintive, and disperses in the wind.

[This person’s thinking would be the same in another world...]

Whose white crane chariot will take you on a quiet journey?"

But despite his gluttony, he still kept some attention in the direction of the main hall.

The newly waxed round tables and wooden chairs were properly placed in the courtyard, and then illuminated by the plain lanterns under the surrounding corridor eaves, they appeared full of splendor.

Hong Fu wiped away his tears and secretly gave Hong Fan a thumbs up.

Soon, he understood the reason from the sporadic conversations.

"They don't deserve to speak out while Xingjun's hearse is still there."

Although it was a second-class meal, the dozen or so dishes piled up on the table were solid.

"As the sun sets and the sky looks sad, the dirge comes out of the heavy building;

It's like a tengu swallowing the sun in one gulp.

In an instant, brilliance bloomed from behind the clouds, lighting up the black cloud city.

After the hearse, there were more than 200 strong men walking with the hearse who were obviously skilled in their profession, and many of them looked familiar.

The two found an alley with fewer people and walked to the southwest of the city together.

There were even two plates of freshwater fish and shrimp.

Just when Hong Fan was stunned, as the hearse passed in front of him, a golden light suddenly shot into the sky from the brow of Xingjun's mummy and shot into the sea of ​​clouds.

After a while, the hearse procession slowly left.

When he reached the entrance of the alley, Hong Fan turned his head and looked. He couldn't see clearly because of the distance, but he saw a red lantern swaying in the dim light due to the wind.

When Hong Fan and Hong Fu arrived, half of the seats outside were occupied by guests.

The dozens of tables outside are free-flow seats with no reserved seats.

His abnormality was only regarded by others as excessive sadness.

I just don’t know if it’s the golden-crowned mummy displayed on the purple velvet, or the densely packed souls crying to the point of being wet around it.

Hong Fan nodded and kept walking.

Golden light entered his body, and Hong Fan gasped violently in fear.

Hong Fan and Hong Fu chose a table occupied by mostly outsiders and sat down. After greeting the people at the same table, they also began to eat happily.

He had been familiar with Tao Qian's poems about white affairs since he was a child.

[We always send people off to each other and return each person to his own home.

Between heaven and earth, there seemed to be a flash.

Jinhaicheng is next to the sand sea, and the wind and sand are not small no matter the season.

At this point, the hearse stepped out of Jinhai City and headed eastward to Shenjing.

"Okay, Brother Fan, we can go home and wait for dinner."

Hong Fan thought and didn't dare to look anymore.

[They are all warriors from various families who have followed King Jingsha Star to fight against the snake people.]

To his ears, the sad farewell songs of these singing girls were more sincere than the lamentations of the children from various families just now.

After just chewing a chicken leg, Hong Fan saw the Hong Mansion's Chief Butler, Qiu, with his head half lowered, leading several nobles in official uniforms and accompanying female family members in.

Hong Fan was not surprised at all.

That is the direction of Hongfu.

Hong Fu explained casually.

The courtyard was abuzz with people, and many people were eating with their mouths full of oil. They could not see the sadness during the funeral in the afternoon.

Ever since the dinner started, there have been a lot of distinguished guests coming and going.

Every remaining tile on the roof was replaced, and the courtyard pillars and furnishings were wiped spotless.

[It’s not like this if the spirit is suspended for a month, right?]

Hong Fan lowered his head and hid his face in the shadows. He quietly pressed his chest and lower abdomen to confirm that there was no change in his whole body.

Blanched chicken, old duck soup, beef and mutton...

He suddenly raised his head and saw the clouds in the sky that were covering the sun were rolling violently, suppressing downwards, and hanging upside down like an angry sea.

Hong Fan looked away, suddenly feeling stuffy in his chest, as if he had seen something extremely disgusting.

The banquet is divided into two parts, inside and outside.

"Clam?"

Under the arrangement of the eldest lady, the mansion is completely different from usual.

Before Hong Fan could react, the golden light that had just burst into the sky entered the mortal world again and shot towards him.

It was probably to praise his outstanding performance that was extremely tragic just now.

There are three innate-level masters in Jinhai City.

After turning two corners, as the surrounding area quieted down, they heard swaying singing coming from a side alley in the distance.

Hong Fan's eyes suddenly darkened.

Relatives or remnants of grief, others have also sung.】

It wasn't until a long time later that the sounding arrows screamed again in the east, and everyone relaxed.

Hong Fan glanced around and saw many Hong family disciples who looked restrained, but could not help but feel a little high-spirited.

······

The wedding banquet of Hong Mansion begins at Youshi (six o'clock in the evening).

[Could the scene just now be an illusion? 】

Hong Fu patted his gown and shook off a lot of dust.

But he glanced around and found that no one around him was aware of it.

A touch of uncontrollable hatred immediately rose in Hong Fan's heart.

He immediately knew that the woman was the originator of his current predicament.

Hong Jian's first wife, the eldest lady of the Hong Mansion.

The old and handsome young man with a Chinese character face next to her is Hong Fan's nominal brother and the direct eldest son of the Hong family - Hong Sheng.
