Chapter 422: The Farce at the Funeral (1)
As soon as it was dawn, there was a sharp knock on the door outside.
"Manager Jiang, something is wrong. ”
Jiang Luo's consciousness moved, and when he saw Zhao Xi standing outside, he was sweating profusely and his face was worried.
Jiang Luo opened the door and asked, "Deacon Zhao, what happened to make you rush like this?"
"Zhang Keqing is dead, you go to the back mountain and have a look. ”
Jiang Luo was stunned and said, "How is this possible? Zhang Keqing was fine yesterday, why did he die suddenly?"
Zhao Xi sighed, "It seems that someone has been murdered, and the murderer doesn't even have a shadow, you can see, the other two guest secretaries have arrived." ”
Jiang Luo nodded and flew to the back mountain.
Sleepy Dragon Stream, although the name is mighty, but it is just an ordinary mountain stream, because of Zhang Keqing's corpse, there is a little more dead and silent.
Dozens of disciples gathered around the corpse, and Wang Chen and Chen Hong, the two great guests, sighed, their faces showing sadness.
The three guest secretaries have worked together for many years, like an indispensable iron triangle, and suddenly one is missing, and the mood of the other two can be imagined.
"Wang Keqing, what the hell is going on?"
Wang Chen shook his head and sighed lightly: "Last night, Lao Zhang said that he was upset and wanted to go out for a walk, but neither of us cared, but I didn't expect him to go back." ”
The corners of Chen Hong's mouth twitched, and he said stupidly: "After Lao Zhang entered the Bai family, he never had a grudge against anyone, and the grievances when he was young have long faded, who is so cruel?"
Jiang Luo wanted to ask again, but suddenly saw a white rainbow coming across the void and landing beside several people, it was the ancestor of the Bai family.
Wang Chen arched his hand and said righteously: "Lao Zhang's death is wronged, I hope that the ancestor will find out the real murderer and give him justice." ”
Bai Qingming nodded solemnly, "Zhang Keqing has served in Baike for two hundred years, and he is loyal to his duties, I will never let him die in vain."
If the children of the side line can provide clues and capture the real culprit, they will be promoted to the white guest lineage immediately, and I will teach them personally. ”
Extrapolating from the stiffness of the corpse, Zhang Keqing was dead for at least five hours, During that time period, Jiang Luo and the two major Keqing were busy cultivating and had no time to take care of anything else, but the disciples and miscellaneous servants had time to wander around the back mountain, perhaps accidentally bumping into the murderer.
However, this is just an ideal speculation, the murderer can kill Zhang Keqing quietly, and his cultivation is definitely not weak, even if ordinary disciples see him, they may not be able to see his true face.
At the command, the disciples and miscellaneous servants were boiling, and they all wanted to seize the opportunity to become the personal disciples of the ancestor.
There were also a few people who had the courage to provide some ambiguous clues, and Jiang Luo glared at them with his eyes, and was frightened into revealing their original form.
This matter has been in trouble for two days, and there is still no clue, Bai Qingming felt that it was not appropriate to drag it on, and began to set up a mourning hall in the inner house.
On the day of the funeral, Bai Ergou, as a filial son, knelt in front of the mourning hall and cried one after another, his eyes swollen into rotten peaches.
Jiang Luo and Zhang Keqing had no feelings at all, except for the initial shock, and then they had no feeling for his death, and the whole funeral was formulaically standing behind Wang Chen, but his eyes were always staring at Bai Ergou.
If he hadn't obtained Yinjiao's 40,000-year spiritual power, and without the halfway master of Dongyue Star Lord, he was afraid that the limelight in the Bai family would be far inferior to Bai Ergou, so he was very interested in Bai Ergou and even regarded the other party as a potential opponent.
It's a pity that Bai Ergou didn't do anything but cry and mourn, so he couldn't see why.
In addition to the Bai family, the Tian family and the Xia family also sent people to pay their respects, after all, Zhang Keqing was in the Misty Forest and was kind to the side children of the two families.
The funeral was very magnificent, Bai Qingming personally carried the coffin and buried him in the Bai family tomb.
After the coffin was buried, Bai Ergou pounced, knelt down again, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Master, although you and I have been together for a short time, you are as kind to me as a mountain, and the greatest wish for the rest of your life is to avenge you by cutting the murderer." ”
Wang Chen sighed: "If Lao Zhang can hear your words, he will definitely be very happy, but it's a pity." ”
Everyone whispered, and they all praised Ergou for his filial piety and love and righteousness.
Bai Ergou wiped away his tears, turned his gaze, and looked at Jiang Luo, "Manager Jiang, I have a reluctant request below, and I hope you agree." ”
Jiang Luo smiled and said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it, for Zhang Keqing's sake's sake, whatever I can, I will try my best to help you." ”
Bai Ergou's eyes flickered, and he said word by word: "I want to worship you as a teacher." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately cast strange glances at Bai Ergou, especially Wang Chen and Chen Hong, who were so angry that they threw their sleeves.
Bai Ergou turned a blind eye to all this, and said to himself: "The murderer can enter and leave the Bai family as if no one is around, kill my master, with my current cultivation, even if I take a picture, I can't kill him."
In order to get revenge, I must become strong as soon as possible, think about it, only you can help me. ”
Wang Chen pointed at Bai Ergou angrily and said angrily: "What do you mean by this? Could it be that we have a low cultivation and have delayed you?"
Bai Ergou hurriedly shook his head, "Master Wang, I didn't mean that, I remember your kindness to me."
It's just that Mr. Jiang's teaching method is more suitable for me, and I want to learn from him. ”
"Hmph", Chen Hong, who has always been silent, couldn't hold back, "If you want to climb the high branches, just say it clearly, and don't hide it."
Manager Jiang is the descendant disciple of the Dongyue Star Lord, and he has never seen any genius, so he may not be able to look down on you as a little fish. ”
Jiang Luo smiled secretly in his heart, I really don't like Bai Ergou, this kid, the master's bones are not cold, so he wants to find another job, a typical white-eyed wolf.
"I don't have any plans to accept apprentices for the time being, you allow me to think about it for a few days, today is Zhang Keqing's funeral, the dead are the greatest, don't put the cart before the horse. ”
Bai Ergou hugged his fists and said apologetically: "What Manager Jiang said is extremely true, it is the disciple who is abrupt. ”
Bai Qingming said with a smile: "Manager Jiang, with your current prestige, if you start a sect, you will definitely be able to recruit talents from all over the world."
If you look up to this child, even if you accept him as an apprentice, don't say that it is him, the descendants of my clan, you can accept whichever you like, it is their blessing to have a master like you. ”
Jiang Luo hurriedly shook his head, "The descendants of the lineage are taught by you, how can I be taught?" As for the other disciples, it also depends on the chance, and there is no hurry at the moment. ”
Bai Qingmingpi smiled and didn't smile, "That's right, now your words and deeds represent the Dongyue Star Lord, so you can't act rashly." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar in the sky, like a thousand horses in unison, breathtaking.
"Jiang Luo, you stand up, I want to challenge you. ”
Everyone followed the sound and saw a young man in blue.
The young man floated in the air at a height of 100 meters, his body was full of brilliance, and he leaned back with a three-edged spirit sword, and there was a hint of arrogance in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Bai Qingming was furious, "Where did you come from, you dare to be presumptuous at Zhang Keqing's funeral, if you know each other, it's best to stay away." ”
