Chapter 44: Killing the Master

There was a wooden frame under the coffin, and six middle-aged Taoist priests went over to lift the shelf and carry the coffin. Zhang Shiyi and the other five Taoist priests respectively raised the white banner of the spirit. Jiang Ting held a black tablet in his arms, and the six-character inscription of "Ancestor Jiang Bo Ling" on it was extremely new, and Lu Xingwei walked beside her with a knife. Several old Taoist priests each carried a lot of paper money in their arms and separated the two sides of the coffin. There were also four Taoist priests holding flutes in their hands and following behind the coffin. Hong Chen, Ji Cha and a few other Taoist priests bowed their heads and followed at the end of the line.

A group of Taoist priests walked down the mountain, passed through the road when Hongchen Ji Tea came last night, and returned to the Zhuguang Gate.

Early in the morning, there were already many pedestrians on the streets of Ziyun City, and when they saw the Taoist priests of the Wind Chasing Sect forming a funeral procession, they couldn't help but be surprised and stood on both sides of the road to watch.

The wind rises and the white flags move, the tears fall and the yellow money is sprinkled, the four Taoist priests behind the coffin raise the flute and blow the lamentation, the group of people look sad, and the pedestrians on the road are all touched by this sad atmosphere, and there are many discussions. Some people in the rivers and lakes knew Jiang Ting, saw the tablet she was holding, and thought to themselves, Isn't the old head of Fengguangmen dead for 20 years? Why is there another funeral? But it is not good to go to the funeral procession to ask, so they can only ask other people, and all kinds of speculations are circulating.

Ji Cha, who was walking at the end, whispered to Hong Chen: "See, they made a big fuss about the funeral, which attracted the attention of the whole city, and forced Huang Xiaosheng to stand up and clarify in front of everyone." At that time, as long as Huang Xiaosheng can't say clearly, they will win. ”

Hong Chen said: "Since they have won the battle, why do they still call the two of us to help?"

"Just because you're sure you win, but that doesn't mean you're going to win. Ji Cha said again, "When the time comes, Huang Xiaosheng will not want to tear his face, and he will hack them all to death with a knife, where will they go to reason? But a group of Taoist priests of the Wind Chasing Sect have been carrying the infamy of apostasy for twenty years, and they have been estranged from the martial arts people in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they can't expect those ordinary people who have handled funerals to help their families, so they can only rely on the two of us!"

"I see. Hong Chen understood, "It seems that the fight has to be famous, and in the end, it still depends on who has the strongest fist." ”

After all, carrying the coffin for the funeral was not as fast as last night, and it went straight for half a day, and it was already noon, and the people of the Wind Chasing Sect arrived near the Chasing Light Gate.

The sky was still cloudy, but the wind was not strong, and the white flags hung low. The flute played all morning, and the lamentation became deeper and deeper. The funeral procession parked the coffin in front of a large archway outside the gate of Zhuguang, and behind the archway, many people gathered together to stand, as if they had been waiting here.

Ji Cha and Hong Chen raised their heads and looked into the light chasing door, only to see Huang Xiaosheng standing at the front of the crowd, with a young man and a girl standing beside him, all of whom looked very delicate. But in addition to the people who chased the light door, there were other people, and they were all familiar faces.

There was a young man in his twenties dressed in white pushing a wooden wheelchair, and on the wheelchair sat a haggard-looking girl. It is the "Senior Brother Zheng" of the Yunmo School and Wang Lifeng. Beside the two of them, there was also a group of purple-clothed people, among which the first three people were one with a long and short hammer, one with a double iron halberd, and one with a double copper hammer.

Ji Cha said in his heart, if there are only people who chase the light, how can there be a group of guys who like to cause chaos here? But when Jiang Ting reveals Huang Xiaosheng's true face and occupies the righteousness, it is estimated that these righteous pacesetters and moral guards will not come to interfere.

When the pair of handsome young men and girls saw Jiang Ting, one shouted "mother" and the other cried and howled "mother", and ran to the funeral procession. The girl hugged Jiang Ting's arm and cried silently, while the young man asked, "Mom, where were you taken captive two days ago?"

Jiang Ting had red circles in his eyes and said to the two: "Mom was rescued, Mom is fine." You stay on your mother's side and keep filial piety for your grandfather. ”

"Grandpa?"

The young man and girl looked at the coffin, and then looked at the tablet that Jiang Ting was holding, and they were all puzzled: My grandfather has been dead for many years, and he sweeps the grave every year, why is there a new coffin here?

Huang Xiaosheng shouted from afar: "Madam, why are you so nonsense?" and raised his hand to Lu Xingwei again, and shouted: "You are a rebel, you first sent someone to kidnap my wife, and last night you sent someone to steal my knife." I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup I poured into my wife, what is the intention of making such a whole today? Do you want to come back and seek a position and seize power?"

Huang Xiaosheng had already decided in his heart that Zhong Huozi and the person who stole the knife last night were Lu Xingwei's subordinates, and today he saw Lu Xingwei and the Taoist priests of the Wind Chasing Sect carrying the coffin, and his wife stood with Lu Xingwei again, very uneasy. Therefore, he took the lead and made everyone think that everything was Lu Xingwei's arrangement and conspiracy.

"Senior brother. ”

As soon as Lu Xingwei spoke, Huang Xiaosheng changed color and interrupted: "Don't call me senior brother, what did you do twenty years ago, you know in your heart - are you still worthy of calling me senior brother?"

Lu Xing was slightly stunned, and then said: "Master Huang, I don't have any idea about what power and position I have here, I just want to ask you one more question." ”

Huang Xiaosheng said with a cold face: "Speak." ”

Lu Xingwei asked, "How did Master die back then?"

Huang Xiaosheng said: "Master was surrounded by demon thieves, his internal strength was exhausted, and he was pierced by a random knife and died. ”

Lu Xingwei asked again: "Where did the master die, and where are the bones buried?"

Huang Xiaosheng replied, "Master died in a wild forest near Qiangzhou, and his bones were destroyed by the people of the Demon Sect!"

Lu Xing took a deep breath slightly: "This is a big matter, I hope you can answer me truthfully." ”

Huang Xiaosheng said: "Every word I say is true. ”

Lu Xingwei suddenly shouted: "You said that everything you said is true? But inside this coffin is the bones of the master! There is not a trace of knife marks on the bones, and he was definitely not killed by a random knife." ”

Huang Xiaosheng sneered: "Who knows where you found a corpse to impersonate? There are too many dead people in your Wind Chasing Sect, don't you steal someone else's corpse, and then come to slander me, saying that I killed Master." ”

"Huang Xiaosheng!" Jiang Ting said loudly, "You still want to deny it? Father's bones were personally found by me in the secret cave of the bamboo garden rockery." ”

Huang Xiaosheng's heart sank, but the expression on his face did not change at all: "Madam, you don't want to be deceived by others." Maybe someone else hid it in advance and deliberately tricked you. ”

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Ting's mouth: "I really didn't guess wrong, you really didn't admit it." Then he took out a black steel bar from his sleeve and said sharply: "This is the steel bar that my father was injured and the doctor implanted in his thigh, I witnessed it with my own eyes." At that time, my father and I were not in the door, you and the second senior brother did not know about it, and the only people in the world knew about it were me, the doctor and his apprentice. Huang Xiaosheng, you tell me why Daddy's bones appeared inside the door? Didn't you say that he died outside? You explain!"

For a while, everyone's eyes fell on Huang Xiaosheng.

The old head of the Fengguang Sect died because of the demon thief, and many people know about it. Moreover, the old head set up Lu Xingwei as the deputy head before his death, even if he died unexpectedly, it stands to reason that Lu Xingwei should succeed him as the head of the house. Huang Xiaosheng brought back an old boss who made himself the head of the house.

Looking at it now, Huang Xiaosheng is really suspected of murdering the old boss, blaming Lu Xingwei again, and realizing the goal of usurping the throne and seizing power!

Huang Xiaosheng's face darkened, took two steps forward, and said, "Madam, things are not what you guessed. You come back first, and I'll explain to you privately. ”

Jiang Ting stood still, shook his head and said, "What are you doing that you don't want to explain publicly? Now that the big guys are standing here, if you want to distinguish your innocence, you can distinguish it clearly from everyone." ”

Huang Xiaosheng also shook his head: "I can't say what is hidden inside." ”

Jiang Ting said miserably: "It's not that you can't say it, you don't dare to say it." ”

"I can't really say anything about it. Huang Xiaosheng stared at Jiang Ting's eyes, "If you say it, it will not be good for everyone." ”

Jiang Ting also stared at his eyes: "If it's true, what's wrong with everyone knowing the truth?"

"Then I said it. ”

"Say it. ”

Huang Xiaosheng hesitated for more than a dozen breaths, looked around at everyone around him, and everyone also looked at him, wanting to get an answer. Huang Xiaosheng finally spoke slowly: "Master was indeed killed by me. ”

The whole audience trembled, although Jiang Ting had expected it, he still bit his lip tightly, and forcibly held back the tears that were about to roll out: "You dog thief who has lost his conscience, why do you want to kill your father? Father treats you very well and passes on his lifelong martial arts to you!"

"Master has treated me very well, but I have a reason why I have to kill him. Huang Xiaosheng suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, "Alas...... I killed Master for the sake of my fellow people in the rivers and lakes, and for the sake of the common people in the worldβ€”because Master is not just the head of the Scenery Sect, he is also the deputy palace master of the Western Han Palace of the Demon Sect back then!"
