Chapter 129: The Funeral
Thick black clouds squeezed the sky, so heavy that it seemed to fall at any moment.
The hot summer wind scorched the earth, so dull that it seemed like the air was about to burn.
Two horses carved out of ebony wood draped in pure white curtains, pulling an ornate hearse. On the car lay the body of Yang Xiao, who had been smeared with sesame oil and sprinkled with perfume, he was dressed in white, and his miserable white face barely showed his handsomeness before birth under the carving of heavy makeup.
In addition to Yang Xiao's relatives and family, there were also high-level officials from all walks of life in Jingnan Town, as well as most of the teachers of Jingnan College and Yang Xiao's relatives and friends.
Rowan walked in the crowd with an umbrella decorated with white flowers, and it wasn't until he came to the funeral that he knew that he was invited as Yang Xiao's relatives and friends.
He was also invited by everyone who had entered the Divine Relic Land, as well as some of the students he had no impression of at all.
Most likely, as long as there is some intersection with Yang Xiao, everyone has been invited.
Yang Xiao's father, Yang Wanli, walked at the front of the team, he was originally an old and strong man, but now his hair is gray, his face is wrinkled, and his whole person's spirit is not as good as before.
He is old and has a son, and he loves Yang Xiao in every way, but now he is a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, how many people can understand this kind of pain?
Luo Wen was silent, in his previous life, when he watched Luo Wenwen's body being pushed into the morgue, he was afraid that he felt the same way.
Thinking of this, he couldn't bear to make trouble at this funeral anymore.
……
Outside the prison of the Church of the Goddess, Xu Rong and Zhao Shanshan hid in the shadows, their black clothes wet from the sparse rain, but the shadows under the dark clouds made their figures even more hidden.
In the end, there were still only the two of them who came to save Granny Hua in person, but at this time, the mentality of the two was very stable, which not only depended on the growth of their hard power, but more importantly, they were no longer alone.
The prison, which was once under martial law, is quite relaxed at the moment, just because the warden of this prison also attended Yang Xiao's funeral.
Yang Wanli is the richest man in Jingnan Town, and now that his only son is dead, there is no one to inherit Wanguan's family wealth.
In that case, what's the use of keeping more money?
He embezzled most of the family property to make up and down the dots, just to hold the most solemn funeral as much as he could.
"Since I can't see my son go farther, I will see him off with the most solemn funeral!"
What a painful awakening!
"Have you memorized the road map for the prison?" Xu Rong stared at the two jailers in front of the prison gate and asked Zhao Shanshan in a low voice.
"Of course." Zhao Shanshan replied clearly.
"Okay, you first divide a fire spirit to imitate the ghost fire to attract their attention, and then I will carry out a sneak attack!" Xu Rong summoned the [Flame Shadow Fox], causing it to transform into a firebird form, and then quietly approached the two jailers.
The light rain and the still-sweltering heat obscured the Flame Shadow Fox's fire, making it even more difficult to spot.
Zhao Shanshan also let the [Fire Spirit] separate into more than a dozen flames, and then directed one of them to fly out from another corner, and then slowly floated towards the jailer.
Her mission is to attract attention and use her Empathy talent to share the vision of the Fire Spirit for the purpose of monitoring the entire audience.
However, the flames were suddenly extinguished in the middle of the flight!
Zhao Shanshan was stunned because of this, and hurriedly took Xu Rong's hand and signaled her not to act rashly.
Then she commanded another flame to float to the place where it had just been extinguished, and at the same time unleashed her spiritual power to empathize with that flame!
Then, she discovers the man hiding in the bushes.
And more than one person!
She took advantage of the ten seconds before the flames were extinguished again, and roughly counted nearly twenty people!
The group were all dressed in black and wore masks with familiar totems tattooed on them.
"It's a Flame Demon Cultist!"
Zhao Shanshan hurriedly covered her mouth, so she didn't exclaim, what extinguished the fire was a lizard-like small beast, its body color blended with the surrounding environment, and it was extremely difficult to identify.
However, the owner of this [chameleon] did not react, obviously the compatibility with the [chameleon] is quite low, and he can't personally feel the pet's emotional thinking.
Looking at the pets that followed them, they were all a group of weak pets who were only one or two orders, and it could be said that they were a rabble!
But it is such a rabble that can also summon up the courage to try to rob the prison!
Just like most sects, the Flame Demon Sect is not full of evil followers, most of them are just ordinary believers who want to have a sustenance of faith, but heresy trials are strict and cruel, whether they are evil or not, they must be called a "heretic"!
In this rabble, except for some people with ulterior motives, most of them are ordinary believers who never do evil, and most of the people they want to save are also like this.
And the reason why they chose to act today so coincidentally is undoubtedly because Yang Xiao's funeral provided an excellent rescue opportunity.
In order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, Xu Rong and Zhao Shanshan could only wait and wait and make another plan.
……
At this moment, the funeral scene has been carried out to the speech session, and everyone present must hold a bouquet of incense and say a word or two in front of Yang Xiao's tablet to express their condolences.
As a member of his family and friends, Rowan was ranked even ahead of some unrelated teachers, such as Yue Ru.
Ahead, Bai Lin pushed Bai Bingbing, who was in a wheelchair, to the tablet to bow twice, then inserted the incense stick in his hand and left from the other direction.
Then there were Li Shunsheng, Wang Chao, Zhang Xiaobai, and then two people I didn't know, and then it was Luo Wen's turn.
On the one hand, Rowan was puzzled by this order, but on the other hand, he hesitated in his heart, if he wanted to impress everyone present, it was undoubtedly the easiest to do in this speech, but this was a great disrespect to the deceased.
Yang Wanli was standing next to the ranks, his wife was half-leaning on him, her eyes were unusually red and swollen, obviously crying heavily.
Waiting for the person in front of him to walk towards the tablet, Rowan took a step forward and couldn't help but take a deep breath to relieve the guilt in his heart.
But that breath was inhaled into the body, and suddenly there was a feeling of dizziness, he shook his body suddenly, and almost fell to the ground, and then looked around, there were countless people who fainted and fell to the ground, and even Yang Wanli's wife closed her eyes, held on to the table and slipped to the ground.
The words questioning accountability sounded one after another, and there was a momentary commotion at the funeral scene, but the commotion soon weakened, because there were more and more people in a coma, and those who could still speak also seemed weak.
Luo Wen struggled to open his eyelids, and noticed that Yang Wanli, who was originally in a sluggish state, suddenly became energetic.
