Chapter 51: The Gu Family Funeral
Just as Gu Changsheng turned around and was about to leave, another Dao Yun suddenly broke through the air and landed on him.
A picture appeared in his heart: a ghost creature condensed into a human form was glowing red all over its body, chasing a Taoist. After swallowing the man, the ghost gave something to himself. Immediately after that, a touch of Dao rhyme descended, and a spatial crack appeared in the sky......
Gu Changsheng suddenly stopped his feet, stood in the ruins of the lake boat, and glanced back at Qingyuan City, his eyes were full of surprise.
"Humph! I said, when did this Heavenly Dao be so generous that he was willing to descend 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 is really unfathomable for a pair of double cultivation partners who have survived the catastrophe to calculate each other to such a degree......"
"Heaven wants it to perish, and it must first make it mad! The correct usage of this fox bewitching poison turned out to be like this...... It's really interesting. ”
"It seems that for the sake of this heavenly fate, I still can't escape this bloody disaster, and I can't think of this trip to Qingyuan City!"
Gu Changsheng showed a wry smile and shook his head and muttered to himself.
…………
In order to handle Gu Ming and Liu Cuilan's funeral, the Gu family was busy day and night for three days.
Of course, they are all busy people, Zhao Yange and Gu Song did not show their faces, only Gu Lian was in charge.
During this time, Gu Changsheng counted the storage bags that he had accidentally obtained that day, and was surprised to find that all the horcruxes stored in them were soul stores. It seems that there was an accident with Hu Mei'er and Mu Tu in the country this week, and there are still many evil cultivators who cultivate the ghost path.
Gu Feichen and Bai Ruoxi only returned to the Gu family last night, and the three of them met in Gu Changsheng's courtyard, and after learning about the current situation of the Gu family, Bai Ruoxi returned to the City Lord's Mansion overnight with a batch of spirit talismans given by Gu Changsheng.
There were no more Assassins to harass him that night, and after two days of commotion, he was finally persuaded to retreat by the chain around the courtyard.
Early in the morning, Gu Changsheng knelt next to the two coffins in linen and filial piety, and on his left hand side knelt Gu Feichen, Gu Qifeng, and Gu Zongyuan in turn.
"The weather in Qingyuan City is so strange today! The sky is so dark and so cold......" Gu Qifeng poked his hands a little weakly, wearing a thin jacket on his body, but it still made him feel cold.
Late June was supposed to be the hottest time of the year, but Qingyuan City seemed to be late autumn, and the air was cold.
The news of his mother, Yan Fengxian's death, made him sad for a while. But when he got the promise of Erniang Zhao Yange to let him be the ruler of the Gu family, the sadness in his heart was immediately diluted a lot.
After all, he doesn't have to recognize Zhao Lei as his stepfather in the future, and relying on the huge profits of the Gu family's business, he can live a very rich life for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Gu Qifeng wanted to get up and move his body to keep warm, when he suddenly heard three crisp bamboo bangs, and then someone shouted: "There are guests!" Hey, old lady Gu, why are you here, Gu Ming is your descendant, but you can't afford it."
Gu Qifeng calmed down, and said curiously: "This eighty-year-old old lady Gu is grandpa's cousin, and it seems that she lives in Yuezhou Mansion City. This old guy has no contact with our family on weekdays, why did he suddenly come all the way to cry for his juniors? ”
I only heard an old voice cough a few times, and said, "Can I come and take a look, Ming'er is a rare character in our Gu family!" My brother has been living in seclusion in the Drum Mountain, let Ming'er lay this foundation alone in Qingyuan City, and achieved the huge industry of our Gu family in Yuezhou, and originally pointed to him to do the business in the capital, so that our Gu family can glorify our ancestors, but it's a pity, alas! ”
Faintly, there were two women's cries next to them. Gu Qifeng was a little confused, what the hell is going on, why did Erniang and Siniang cry so sincerely?
The loud voice shouted again: "Old lady, please sit here, relatives and friends are saluting!" ”
In an instant, a landslide and tsunami in the mourning hall, which was still quiet, scared Gu Qifeng into a shock.
The entire mourning hall was quiet, except for a few Taoist priests who were chanting, no one spoke.
At this time, a ghost cry of men and women came out, and Gu Qifeng knew that there were so many people in the mourning hall.
I only heard those people crying and shouting in a mess, 'Big brother, you went so early when you were young', 'Brother Gu, why are you dead', and I don't know which relatives can't be beaten.
Gu Qifeng wanted to laugh when he heard it, and it was not a matter of crying or crying, but now that he has experienced it himself, he cries when he hears these people cry, it is just like singing, and it is really funny.
The old man was helped to the altar and put a stick of incense.
shouted in a loud voice: "After the guests have finished the ceremony, the relatives will return the ceremony!" With this shout, the chaotic crying stopped abruptly, so quiet that it was as if a needle had fallen to the ground, and I really couldn't guess how Qi Brush was so well-trained.
Then I only heard a sad female voice say softly: "The surviving Zhao family has thanked the old lady, relatives and friends." ”
The old man turned around and exchanged a few words with Zhao Yange and Yang Liu'er, and sat down in the relatives seat next to him with the support of his subordinates.
Next, many people came to the door one after another to offer condolences, including Zhao Tianba, Hu Long and Liu Yuanqing, the three of them had their own thoughts, sat far away from each other, and ignored each other.
Strangely, as more and more people came to mourn, the air in the mourning hall became more and more cold and biting.
Gu Qifeng was still able to move his hands and feet just now, but at this time, he was so cold that he couldn't use his strength. However, he still endured it and did not say anything, after all, if he wanted to be the ruler of the Gu family, he must not lose to Gu Feichen and Gu Changsheng next to him!
When it was close to noon, I only heard a loud voice and said: "All relatives and friends mourn in front of the spirit, and send another ride!" As soon as the words fell, the voice of the ghost crying and the wolf's howl sounded again, and this time the voice was even more sad, and everyone gathered around the spirit to cry for the spirit.
Gu Qifeng took this opportunity to move his hands and feet with difficulty, so that he would not be numb from the cold. Unfortunately, my hands and feet were still a little stiff, and I could barely support my body, and my knees felt terrible pain. His faint fake cry was no better than those who were crying harder, and he snorted there to deal with the matter.
At this time, the loud voice shouted again: "The family thanks again, all relatives and friends mourn the change, the words are polite to the heart, and the ceremony is over!" Like the most brilliant conductor, as soon as his voice fell, his crying immediately stopped abruptly.
I saw that the people around me were noisy again, and they all dispersed, and then the old lady Gu stepped forward and asked, "Zhao, Yang, your in-laws went early, and now Ming'er has also gone to the spring to accompany them." Your second uncle is now seriously ill, and your third aunt has also contracted a serious illness because of her funeral. The two of you are left to preside over the funeral, what do you say about the property left by Ming'er? ”
I only heard a low female voice say: "Uncle, Yan Ge entered the door of the Gu family, it is the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, the master and Sister Cuilan went suddenly, where do we still have the heart to think about the family business, fortunately, the master still has some leftovers before, Yan Ge guards the door, even if it is hard, he can get through the day." ”
Old lady Gu coughed dryly and said: "Zhao family, you are a concubine, it is not easy to support this portal independently, Ming'er has four men under his knees, and he should choose the person in power from among them, our Gu family is also a big family in the local area, and we can't let you show up as a woman and make fun of us."
"I have discussed with the second child and a few elders in the clan, first collect the token of Ming'er's power, and wait until the heir is decided, and then this person will be in charge of the token. This country can't be without a king for a day, the family can't be without an owner for a day, the second and third girls are now bedridden, so I'll preside over this justice, everyone says okay? ”
"Good!" The people in the entire mourning hall spoke in unison, as if they had been choreographed.
Yes, the show is finally about to start, Gu Qifeng turned his face to look at Gu Changsheng, and thought excitedly: "This old man's words are high-sounding, I see what you, the eldest son who is usually arrogant, will do next!" ”
