Chapter 30 Seeking Vengeance
Qin Mu put away the golden ingot and said, "Big man, you concentrate on your cultivation. I will come to you tomorrow. You must not enter the side palace. That devil is very cunning!"
The demon ape nodded.
Qin Mu immediately set off to return to the village. Not long after, he came to the outside of Can Lao Village. Two paper boats were docked in the air at the entrance of the village. Paper cranes fell under the trees at the entrance of the village. However, there were no people on the boat and on the paper cranes, so they should have entered the village.
He walked into the village and saw the old man who was talking on the boat sitting opposite the village chief, talking to the village chief, and said, "I heard that Grandma Si in Gui Village is very skillful, so I came here and wanted to ask my mother-in-law to help cut a few clothes."
The village chief said: "I dare to ask what clothes to make and what size are?"
The old man said, "If you want to make a shroud, there are nine pieces in total, so you can cut it according to the figure of your villagers. I also heard that Ma's carpenter is very good, so I have to ask Ma to help make nine-mouth coffins. The length of the coffins should be based on your figure."
Suddenly, the old man saw Qin Mu coming, looked surprised and changed his mouth: "I was wrong. It was ten shrouds and ten coffins. Qianqiu, pay the deposit."
The man named Qianqiu stepped forward and waved his hand slightly. He saw a paper boat floating in the entrance of the village and landed next to the village chief. Qin Mu immediately saw that the goods on the ship were all bad things such as paper money, ingots, candles, and white banners!
The old man asked him to park the paper boat at the entrance of the village and said, "This is the deposit for ten coffins for ten coffins. I dare to ask my mother-in-law and Mr. Ma, can we do it today? To be honest, I'm in a hurry to use it."
The cripple, blacksmith, pharmacist and others in the village were all busy with their own work, but suddenly they all became quiet. Grandma Si walked over tremblingly and said with a smile: "Ten pieces of shrouds, are you going to have to today? The guests are a little hurrying."
Master Ma came and said coldly: "I'm quick, the coffin can be prepared today. Can the old man wait?"
The old man smiled and said, "It's a bit rushed, but you are all capable people, so you should be able to drive it out, right?"
Grandma Si glanced at the ingot candles on the boat, sneered, and said, "If you are in a hurry to wear it, you can make it now. It happened that I bought some cloth a few days ago."
The old man bowed and said, "I'm sorry, mother-in-law."
Grandma Si walked back to the house, moved out a few batches of cloth, shook her hands, and batches of cloth floated in the air, and then a bit of scissors flew out of her basket automatically, creaking and cutting in the air. Not long after, the clothes were formed.
Silver needles flew out from the small basket, threading the needle and squirting in the air, and soon sewing the shrouds one by one.
Mr. Ma walked outside the village and came to the thick willow tree by the river. The green air flew out between his fingers and roamed around the willow trees. Not long after, the thick tree body was cut into a white wooden coffin.
These white wooden coffins flew over and landed at the entrance of the village.
Grandma Si's clothes were also ready. The old lady waved her hand gently and each of them fell on the coffin.
Mr. Ma stepped forward and said coldly: "You brought a lot of money, so I made two more coffins for you for free, tailored to you. You can lie down and keep them for no length or a minute! Are you still satisfied with the old man?"
Grandma Si smiled and said, "I have made two extra sets of mourning clothes for free to ensure that they fit."
The old man laughed and said, "Satisfied, satisfied."
Seeing that the atmosphere became more and more strange, Qin Mu counted secretly that these men in green and the old man combined were exactly twelve!
The pharmacist walked over with a gloomy face, but his voice was soft: "The old man is not a local person, but he seems to have the accent of Southern Xinjiang."
The old man smiled gently and said, "We are from the Southern Xinjiang, Lijiang generation."
The cripple walked over and smiled, saying, "There is a Lijiang sect in Lijiang. I heard that it is a big sect. It lives by the river and has many masters. I heard that the head of the Lijiang sect is called Mu Beifeng. His supernatural powers are superb and he can break the river."
The old man hurriedly said, "I dare not behave, I dare not behave. I am just a sect who is so sad. My Lijiang Sect is actually just a small sect that can make a living by making a living. I rely on the mountains and rivers to make a living on the river. I have five junior brothers, thanks to the respect of fellow Taoists from all walks of life, and are called the Five Elders of Lijiang."
Qin Mu's heart suddenly broke out and his face changed slightly. Are the five elders of Lijiang the five old men who died at Grandma Si's hands?
Could it be that Mu Beifeng led the crowd to avenge the five elders of Lijiang?
He pointed out that he wanted to make ten coffins and ten mourning clothes, which were clearly prepared for everyone in Can Lao Village. After killing the villagers, he put them on mourning clothes, put them in the coffin and buried them on the spot, and then burned some ingots and candles!
And these paper boats and paper cranes were also prepared for the villagers of Can Lao Village after their death!
Mu Yufeng turned the jade ring on his thumb and said slowly: "Two years ago, the imperial court gave an imperial edict, and the national master came to my Lijiang Sect and sat with me to discuss the truth. Within a stick of incense, I was pleased to surrender, accepted the imperial edict, and thanked the Lord for his kindness. My Lijiang Sect thanked the emperor and the national master, and I appointed Lao Jiu as the host of the Wumiao Mansion in the southern border. The official was second-ranked and governed the Wumiao Mansion. The national master also appointed the Five Elders of Lijiang as the deputy guru of the Miao Maru Mansion, and the third-ranked. After all, we are idle clouds and wild cranes. Although we were granted official positions, we still like to walk around."
The village chief smiled and said, "Yankang State is a sect disguised as a country. The emperor is assisted by Yankang National Master, known as the first person under the gods. In recent years, the country's fortune has become more and more prosperous. He has subdued many sects and allowed disciples of various sects to enter the army and open up the territory. Brother Mu was originally unrestrained, but when he entered the court as an official, he would be influenced by the laws of the court, and it was a bit unreasonable."
Mu Beifeng said: "So, my five junior brothers were very quiet and wanted to go out for a walk. They took the five Lijiang sons into the Daxu. The five Lijiang sons are disciples accepted by my five junior brothers. They have some skills. My five junior brothers plan to take them to experience it."
The blind man walked over with a bamboo stick and said, "The five elders of Lijiang entered Daxu to experience it? They still brought their disciples? Daxu is very sinister, and I can't help but worry about them."
Mu Beifeng sighed, "Yes. Daxu is too dangerous, there are evil spirits everywhere. They have been away for two months, and I have not seen them return for a long time. I knew in my heart that something was wrong, so I searched all the way and found the place where five junior brothers died. These five junior brothers died miserably. Judging from the wounds on their broken bones, the person who killed them should be a master of the Demon Sect. He is not tall and is similar to Grandma Si."
He shook his head and said, "Then, I found the place where their disciples died. It was a canyon, and their bodies were ruined by wild animals. Alas, they died miserably... Judging from the wounds on their corpses, the one who started was probably a young warrior, similar to this young man. I heard that there were tailors and carpenters in your village, so I came and ordered a coffin to kill my junior brother and nephew, and waited to put them in."
He showed a little arrogance on his face: "Although I am a court official, I am used to being a mountain villager and not used to the red tape of the court, so I still came to avenge my junior brother and nephew by following the rules of the world. Qianqiu."
When the old man said this, he shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Behind him, a young warrior stepped forward and looked at Qin Mu. It was the man who threw a golden ingot to Qin Mu in the air and said, "My junior brother Qu was knocked to death with a wooden stick. Little brother, you are carrying a knife, can you use a knife to fight me?"
Qin Mu hesitated and looked at Grandma Si and the village chief.
Grandma Si couldn't help but say, "Mu'er, the people in southern Xinjiang are brutal, and they are ruthless and never show mercy. He asks you to use the knife, and you can use it..."
"shut up!"
The village chief shouted and stopped Grandma Si from speaking, saying lightly: "They came according to the rules. Without using the power of the imperial court and Yankang National Master to suppress us, we cannot break the rules. No one is allowed to speak out and give advice to Qin Mu, nor are they allowed to help."
