Chapter 316: Returning to the Sect
Dongfang Chen whispered softly to a figure kneeling in front of the mourning hall: "Ah Ting, it's time." Everyone is waiting. ”
This figure is naturally Dongfang Chen's sister Dongfang Ting, only to hear her say coldly: "You are not my brother, no one wants to take grandma away!"
Dongfang Chen turned his head and glanced at a man in his thirties.
The man understood, knelt down beside Dongfang Ting, and persuaded: "Tingting, people can't be resurrected after death, look at the point." It has been four days since the spirit was suspended, and after a long time, we will be laughed at by others if we are filial sons.
Early, let the old man rest in peace early!"
This man is Dongfang Ting's husband, and interestingly, this person is the agent who risked violating discipline more than ten years ago and invited Daoyuan to treat the old lady.
Because of this, Dongfang Ting secretly promised her that after a long time, and in such a closed environment, the two fell in love.
But this is also a serious violation of discipline, and seeing that the future is also ruined, the agent simply did not do anything, directly resigned from the government's job, returned to Xi'an to settle down, and found an ordinary job waiting for his lover to return to his normal identity. Today, both have children who are six years old.
Dongfang Ting was obedient to her husband, and when she heard her husband's persuasion, she didn't say anything more. stood up and walked past Dongfang Chen, and disappeared into the crowd after a while, without looking at his brother from beginning to end!
Dongfang Chen felt a cramp in his heart, and his brother-in-law's expression was also very embarrassed, and he said apologetically: "Dr. Dongfang, I will enlighten her often, and it will be fine after a while." ”
Dongfang Chen handed a black card to his brother-in-law and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm a failed brother, an emotional imbecile, the only thing I can do is this." I hope you don't shirk my brother-in-law, thank you all these years, I wish you happiness!"
The brother-in-law's name is Daniel Zhang, how to say that he was also a state agent, and he has seen the world. When he saw Dongfang Chen take out a centurion card, he was taken aback: "This, how can this work? We can't ask for such a valuable thing." ”
Dongfang Chen laughed at himself: "Mr. Zhang, dear brother-in-law, do you want to refuse me, the only thing you can do as an elder brother?"
Don't worry about the minimum spending limit of this card, I have said hello, you can have unlimited overdraft, there is no limit on cash withdrawal, I have already prepared for all expenses, there are no strings attached to doing this, and the password is Ah Ting's birthday.
Can't you have pity on me, make my heart feel a little better?"
Daniel Zhang knew very well that his eldest brother was already a global figure, and his words were naturally full of weight, so he stopped prevaricating at the moment, gave Dongfang Chen an address, and then turned around and walked away.
Ms. Ouyang's final finishing, makeup, and burial were all done by Dongfang Chen. After finishing all the work, Dongfang Chen waved his hand, and the huge coffin was just suspended, slowly floating forward, and he silently followed behind.
In the crowd, Dongfang Ting fell to her knees with a thud, hoarse and cried.
After the coffin was removed from the small courtyard of the farmhouse, Dongfang Chen raised his hand to stop all the people who saw him off. Only one coffin remained, and slowly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
After the top of the mountain, the Taoist priests were ready to stop, and a platform made of wood was erected on the open ground. Atilya, Shaking Light, Tianshu, Poklonskaya, the Four Saints of the Seven Stars, Dao Yuan, and the eight bored little Taoist priests scattered and stood in all directions, quietly waiting for Dongfang Chen.
After a while, Dongfang Chen escorted the deceased to Sanqingguan, and without saying anything, with a wave of his hand, the coffin fell lightly on the pyre.
Dongfang Chen bowed to everyone, then got up and said softly, "Let's start!"
The sound of chanting scriptures sounded, and Dao Yuan held the wooden sword talisman in his hand and began to go around the field to overtake the undead.
The Four Saints Suzaku stepped forward and twisted the trick with both hands.
With a bang, the entire firewood pile rose more than ten meters high. The flames danced for a while, and suddenly turned into a big bird, flapping its wings, soaring into the sky, and then turning around and rushing back into the pyre!
There was a dense crackling sound, and after the flame bird melted into the pyre, the temperature rose sharply, and even the rocks on the ground were roasted red. In less than a minute, the pyre and coffin had completely disappeared, and only a palm-sized red firebird was left circling and flying.
Suzaku stretched out an arm, and the firebird responded, standing on Suzaku's wrist, shaking its feathers, blinking its eyes, lifelike, no different from a real bird at all.
Suzaku took out a vial, and after the firebird burrowed into the vial, it turned into a few wisps of green flame and disappeared, and a small semi-white powder appeared in the vial.
Dongfang Chen took out a rosewood box, took the vial from Suzaku's hand, carefully put it into the wooden box, then wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, choked up and said: "Thank you, Daoist, thank you for sending grandma on the last journey, you have worked hard." Let's go to Zhejiang, just go to Zhejiang with the baron!"
Everyone returned the salute one after another, and then watched Dongfang Chen and Atila disappear into the sky.
......
Thirty or forty kilometers southeast of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, there is a small town located here, which is Dongfang Chen's ancestral hometown Yunxi Town, and it is also the location of the ancestral hall of the clan.
The southeast coast of China is an unusually densely populated area, which is said to be three miles of different townships and ten miles of different sounds. Dongfang Chen didn't want to use his flying ability to attract the attention of the public, so he and Atila just flew to an airport in Xianyang and took a small special plane to the destination.
After more than an hour of flying and another hour of driving, Dongfang Chen arrived at the clan land for the first time in more than 20 years. The last time he came here, he was only 14 years old, and because he was admitted to a key university ahead of schedule, he followed his family here to worship his ancestors.
Stopping and walking, Dongfang Chen showed his true colors, and Atia beside him continued to use Erica's appearance to hide her shocking face.
The people in the town didn't know these two people at all, and the two of them had the faces of foreigners, so they stopped to watch and point.
Dongfang Chen walked straight to the old man's residence, knocked on the door and explained his intentions before walking in.
The clan elder is already eighty years old, but he is not deaf or blind, and his voice is sonorous: "So, you are really Abo's son? This time you are here to invite your aunt's tablet into the ancestral hall?"
Dongfang Chen hurriedly took out his grandmother's identity certificate, death certificate and a bunch of formalities.
The clan elder didn't look at it, shook his head and said: "In the next life, forgive the old man for being incompetent." ”
Dongfang Chen's face turned pale, but he suppressed his anger and asked, "Clan Elder, why is this?"
The clan elder asked Dongfang Chen rhetorically: "You ask me, I still want to ask you." Seventeen years ago, Abo's family suffered a tragic disaster, and the whole family was spared. Are you now saying that Auntie died a few days ago, and she is making fun of my old man?"
Dongfang Chen suddenly realized, and spoke in the Ningbo dialect, which was not very neat, and told the elders the ins and outs of the story in detail. Straight to the mouth dry, drink the cup of tea in one go.
Unexpectedly, the clan elder twisted his beard and groaned, and after a full three minutes, he sighed and said: "Ah Chen, don't talk about your grandmother, it is the ashes of Abo and his wife, and they have not entered the hall, and they are still outside until now!"
