Just as Gu Changsheng turned around and was about to leave, another dao rhyme suddenly came through the air and landed on him.
A picture emerged in his mind: a ghost condensed into a human form with red light all over its body, chasing a Taoist. After swallowing the Taoist, the ghost actually handed something to him. Then there was a touch of Taoist rhyme.
Falling down, a space crack appeared in the sky...
Gu Changsheng suddenly stopped his feet and stood in the ruins of the boat in the middle of the lake. He looked back at Qingyuan City, his eyes full of surprise.
"Hmph! I just told you, when did Heaven become so generous that it was willing to send down the 'Tiangang Golden Fire'? It turned out that he wanted me to help that ghost king..."
"Is there really such a coincidence in this world? It's really unpredictable for a pair of dual cultivators who have survived a disaster to plot against each other to such an extent..."
"If God wants it to perish, it must first make it crazy! This is the correct way to use the fox monster's charming poison... It's really interesting."
"It seems that because of this opportunity brought by heaven, I still can't escape this bloody disaster. I can't even think about taking a trip through the muddy waters of Qingyuan City!"
Gu Changsheng showed a wry smile, shook his head and said to himself.
…………
In order to arrange the funeral of Gu Ming and Liu Cuilan, the Gu family worked day and night for three days.
Of course, the busy ones were all servants, neither Zhao Yange nor Gu Song showed their faces, only Gu Lian was in charge.
During this period of time, Gu Changsheng took inventory of the storage bags that he accidentally obtained that day, and was surprised to find that they were all Horcruxes that store souls. It seems that Hu Meier and Mu Tu were unexpectedly involved in Zhou State this week, and there are many more
Don’t practice the evil ways of ghosts.
Gu Feichen and Bai Ruoxi just returned to the Gu family last night. The three of them met in Gu Changsheng's yard. After learning about the current situation of the Gu family, Bai Ruoxi returned to the city lord's mansion overnight with a batch of talismans given by Gu Changsheng.
No assassins came to harass them again that night. After two days of commotion, they were finally persuaded to retreat by the chain of formations around the yard.
Early that morning, Gu Changsheng, wearing sackcloth and mourning, knelt beside two coffins. On his left hand, Gu Feichen, Gu Qifeng and Gu Zongyuan were kneeling in sequence.
"The weather in Qingyuan City is so strange today! The sky is so dark and cold..." Gu Qifeng poked his hands a little weakly. He was wearing a thin jacket, but it still made him feel cold.
Late June is supposed to be a relatively hot time of the year, but Qingyuan City seems to be in late autumn, with a chill in the air.
The news of his mother Yan Fengxian's death made him sad for a while. But when he got the promise from his second mother, Zhao Yange, to let him be the leader of the Gu family, the sadness in his heart was immediately diluted.
At least he no longer has to recognize Zhao Lei as his stepfather, and relying on the huge profits from Gu's family business, he can live a very prosperous life for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Gu Qifeng was about to get up and move his body to keep warm. Suddenly he heard three crisp bamboo bangs, "bang bang bang", and then someone shouted loudly: "We have guests! Oh, Mr. Gu, what's wrong with you, old man?"
I’m here too, Gu Ming is your junior, but I can’t afford it.”
Gu Qifeng calmed down and said curiously: "This old man Gu, who is in his eighties, is my grandfather's cousin. He seems to live in Fucheng, Yuezhou. This old guy has no contact with our family on weekdays, so why did he suddenly run away thousands of miles away?
Come here to mourn for your descendants?"
An old voice coughed a few times and said, "Can't I come over and take a look? Ming'er is a rare person in our Gu family! My brother has been living in seclusion in Gushan, leaving Ming'er alone in Qingyuan City.
Having laid this foundation has enabled our Gu family to have a huge industry in Yuezhou. I originally directed him to bring the business to the capital so that our Gu family could be proud of our ancestors. What a pity!"
Faintly, two women could be heard crying next to them. Gu Qifeng was a little confused. What was going on? Why were Er Niang and Si Niang crying so sincerely?
The loud voice shouted again: "Old Master, please sit here, all relatives and friends are here to greet me!"
In an instant, there was a landslide and tsunami in the mourning hall that had been quiet just now, frightening Gu Qifeng.
The entire mourning hall was quiet just now. Except for a few Taoist priests who were chanting sutras, no one spoke.
At this time, a burst of ghostly cries and howls from men and women could be heard, and Gu Qifeng realized that there were so many people in the mourning hall.
I could only hear those people crying and shouting things like, 'Brother, you died so young at a young age', 'Brother Gu, why did you die?', and they didn't know which relatives they were unable to fight with.
Gu Qifeng wanted to laugh when he heard this. He cried real and fake in different situations. But now that he has experienced it himself, hearing these people cry when they say it is almost like singing in an opera, which is really funny.
The old man was helped to the altar and burned a stick of incense.
The loud voice shouted again: "The guests have finished their courtesy, and the relatives should return the courtesy!" With this shout, the riot of crying stopped suddenly, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. I really can't guess what happened.
Qi Shushua is so well-trained.
Then I heard a sad female voice saying softly: "The widow Mrs. Zhao would like to thank the old lady and all of her relatives and friends."
The old man turned around and exchanged a few words with Zhao Yange and Yang Liu'er, and with the help of his servants, he sat down at the relatives' table next to him.
Next, many people came to express their condolences, including Zhao Tianba, Hu Long and Liu Yuanqing. The three of them had their own thoughts and sat far away from each other, ignoring each other.
The strange thing is that as more and more people come to express their condolences, the air in the mourning hall becomes more and more freezing.
Gu Qifeng was able to move his hands and feet just now, but now he was so cold that he couldn't use any strength. However, he still suppressed and remained silent. After all, if he wanted to be the leader of the Gu family, he must not lose to Gu Feichen and Gu Changsheng next to him!
As noon approached, I heard a loud voice say again: "Dear relatives and friends, I would like to express my condolences to the spirit. How about another journey!" As soon as the words were said, the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling sounded again, this time the sound was even sadder, and everyone gathered around the spirit.
I cried.
Gu Qifeng took this opportunity to move his hands and feet with difficulty to prevent himself from being numbed by the cold. Unfortunately, his hands and feet were still a little stiff, and he could barely support his body. His knees felt terrible pain. His weak fake cry could not overpower those
Comparing the person who cried harder, he just grunted and dealt with the matter.
At this time, he shouted again with a loud voice: "I would like to express my thanks again. My relatives and friends express my condolences. I am sincere in my words. End of ceremony!" Like the most brilliant conductor, as soon as he finished speaking, the cry suddenly stopped again.
end.
I saw another burst of noise from the people around me, and they all dispersed. At this time, Mr. Gu stepped forward and asked: "Ms. Zhao, Mrs. Yang, your parents-in-law left early, and now they will go to the spring to accompany them tomorrow."
Your second uncle is seriously ill now, and your third aunt has also contracted a serious illness from working at the funeral. You two are left to preside over the funeral. What do you think about the property you will leave tomorrow?"
Only a low female voice was heard saying: "Uncle, Yan Ge has entered the Gu family and is the Gu family's daughter-in-law. The master and sister Cuilan have suddenly gone. How can we think about the family business? Fortunately, the master has not thought about it before."
There is still some left, so Yan Ge sticks to the door, even if it is more difficult, he can still survive."
Mr. Gu coughed twice and said: "Ms. Zhao, you are a concubine. It is not easy to support this family independently. Ming'er has four men under his knees. The person in charge should be chosen from among them. Our Gu family is considered a big family in the local area.
, we can’t let you, a woman, show up in front of others and let others make fun of us.
"I have discussed with the second child and several elders in the clan. First, collect the tokens that Ming'er will be in power. After the successor is decided, this person will take charge of the tokens. This country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without a king for a day.
Lord, the second and third girls are both bedridden now, so I will be the one to administer justice. Can you guys agree?"
"Okay!" Everyone in the mourning hall said in unison, just like it was arranged.
Well, the show is finally about to begin. Gu Qifeng turned to look at Gu Changsheng and thought excitedly: "This old man's words are very high-sounding. Let me see what you, the usually arrogant eldest son, will do next!"
