Xu Jizhong led everyone to the western highlands, chose an open ground, and dug the soil and graves with Xu Fu, and Qiu Mu also asked his disciples to help. The four of them worked together to dig the grave in an instant, and the four of them tied ropes to both ends of Xu Da's coffin, slowly put the coffin into the pit, and filled the soil back.

After the hasty burial, Zhang took out five white silk and handed them to Xu Jizhong, Xu Pu, as well as the housekeeper Xu Fu and the maid Qingju, and asked them to tie them on their heads. Five people knelt in front of the grave, lit incense and candles, laid tributes, and wept while burning some paper money. Monk Akiki stood with two apprentices on the side, his hands folded, his eyes closed, and chanted the "Mantra of the Dead" to comfort the deceased.

Since Xu Da's death, Xu Jizhong's family has been in a hurry and has been enduring grief. At this moment, I finally have a gap to cry bitterly to vent the sadness in my heart, so I cry very sadly.

In particular, Xu Jizhong, thinking that his father was a very popular minister of the King of Zhongshan, who led millions of soldiers to expel the Northern Yuan Dynasty and restore the Han people's rivers and mountains, what a heroic spirit; now after his death, the funeral was done so hastily, only a few people were funeral, and the years of Xuanhe in the past were very different, and his heart became more and more sour, and he cried more and more tragically.

The monk Qiumu on the side listened to it in his ears, and he couldn't help but be miserable.

Just as the five of them were crying sadly, a sneer suddenly sounded above their heads, like a bird, extremely harsh.

Akiki was furious when he heard someone laughing, and shouted, "Who is it?!" As he spoke, he picked up a stone on his toes and kicked it in the direction where the laughter was emitting. With a snort, the pebble shot out with the sound of the wind, into the canopy, but there was no sound, and no fall was seen.

When Akiki was puzzled, he only heard a snort, and an object in the canopy shot towards him, Akiki hurriedly dodged sideways, dodged, and with a snap, an object hit the ground beside him. Akiki looked down and looked closely, it was Fang Cai's stone. Akiki was startled, and hurriedly looked up, and saw a gray figure falling from the tree like a big bird, and it was landing outside Akiki.

Qiu Mu looked carefully and saw that this person was thin, with a skull face, a slight beard on his lips, and was in his fifties, dressed in a gray long robe, with a rickety body, and a crooked cane in his hand. This crutch is not bamboo or wood, faintly revealing a metallic luster, but it is an iron crutch made of stainless steel.

After this person landed, he smiled and said sharply: "Okay, very good! Sure enough, it's here, and there are a lot of them, which saves us a lot of work." Don't hide, come out, your time has come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another person jumped from the tree, and then another person walked out from behind the stone tablet, followed by two more people from behind the tomb. These four people were all dressed in black, with black veils on their faces, and they were armed with Yanling knives, exactly the same as the black-clothed people who had stopped them outside the Chilling Cicada Temple before. The four people stood in four directions and surrounded Xu Jizhong's family in the middle.

Suddenly an assassin appeared, Xu Jizhong's family immediately stopped crying, Zhang held the child in his arms, and Qingju snuggled up to each other; Xu Jizhong pulled out his sword, Xu Fu drew an iron knife and protected the three of them; Qiu Mu greeted and took two apprentices to protect everyone.

The thin old man snorted slightly, took two steps back, leaned his back against the pine trunk, and said to the four black-clothed men: "What are you waiting for? ”

The four men in black glanced at each other and pounced on them with their knives raised. Qiu Mu stepped forward, waved his palms, and blocked one person, Zhiguang and Zhiqing danced the ring knife, and the enemy was one person, and Xu Fu and Xu Jizhong each were enemies of one person.

While fighting with the man in black, Akiki kept an eye on the old man with the iron cane, but saw him leaning against the trunk of the tree, with a look of disdain on his face, as if he had no intention of making a move. Seeing him like this, Akiki breathed a sigh of relief and tried his best to deal with the man in black in front of him.

The martial arts of these four black-clothed men and the black-clothed men who intercepted them before were between them, and with Qiumu's martial arts, they were able to deal with them with ease. In less than three rounds, Akiki saw the opportunity and slapped the stele on the right shoulder of the man in black with one palm. With a click, the shoulder blade was shattered, and the man in black screamed, fell five or six steps away, and fell to the ground, wailing.

Knocking down the man in black, Qiu Mu looked back at the others, Zhiguang Zhiqing was two against one, Xu Fu's knife technique was calm, and they all had the upper hand, only Xu Jizhong was killed by the man in black and had no power to fight back.

Akiki jumped behind the man in black and slapped it with a palm. The man in black noticed that there was someone behind him, and he couldn't dodge it, and was hit in the back of the heart by this palm. The man in black took a few steps forward and fell to the ground, vomiting blood from his mouth.

Xu Jizhong wiped his cold sweat and said, "Thank you master for helping......

Qiu Mu said: "Young prince, go and protect your wife and children, the assassin is handled by a poor monk." As he spoke, he leaned forward to help Xu Fu. The man in black who was fighting with Xu Fu, seeing that the other party had someone to help, first messed up, and Xu Fu saw that he was in a vacancy, caught up, and cut off his head with a knife.

The remaining man in black saw that his three companions were killed and wounded, and his heart was flustered, and he retreated while parrying, and shouted to the thin old man: "Guo Daxia, you still don't make a move? If you miss again this time, the commander-in-chief is afraid that he will blame ......."

Hearing this, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the thin old man, and his figure flickered, and he came to the man in black, waved the cane in his hand, and smashed the head of the man in black with a snap. Poof, the body fell to the ground.

The thin old man and the man in black were originally in a group, but at this time they slaughtered their own people, and Akiki and the others were deeply surprised.

Listening to the thin old man snorting coldly, he said to the corpse on the ground: "When will the old man do it, I don't need you to command!"

Hearing the man in black calling the thin old man Guo Daxia just now, and seeing the iron cane in his hand, Qiu Mu suddenly remembered someone and asked, "Your Excellency is known as Guo Moming, who swept thousands of jun in the rivers and lakes?"

Guo smiled inexplicably and said, "It's my old man." ”

Sweeping Qianjun Guo is inexplicably a Jiangyang thief who has moved the rivers and lakes in recent years, raping, killing, and plundering all kinds of evil, just because of his strong martial arts, and cunning and alertness, he has repeatedly escaped the pursuit of decent people.

Qiu Mu sneered and said, "I can't imagine that the Jiangyang thief who kills people and arsons, and does all kinds of evil, actually joined the Jinyi Guard and is willing to be the eagle dog of the imperial court." ”

Guo sighed inexplicably and said, "Guo is also desperate, so he will make this decision." If I don't take refuge in the imperial court, I, Guo, will inexplicably die sooner or later in the hands of those chivalrous warriors who sell their fame. ”

Actually, Qiu Mu didn't know that they were Jinyiwei, but he had this conjecture, and asking him like this was just a temptation, but he didn't expect that Guo would admit it inexplicably and hide it without concealing it. Qiu Mu sighed secretly: "Sure enough, it's Jinyiwei!"
