Chapter 15: Rest in peace!
The moon is in the sky, and the stars are everywhere. A meteor streaked across the night sky and flew by.
At this time, Qingyang Town temporarily returned to calm. Some forces are secretly watching, some forces are secretly preparing to annex other people's territories, and some helpless and weak forces are struggling to find a backer in order to survive in this turbulent Qingyang Town.
"Brother, are you really an immortal cultivator?" Du Yunshu asked excitedly and in disbelief. Even Shuang'er and her grandmother clasped their hands excitedly.
Du Yunyong nodded calmly, he only reported good news and not bad news about today's events, and told Du Yunshu and others about the truth and falsehood.
Shuang'er's grandmother is extraordinary, and knows some of the deeds of cultivating immortals. asked Du Yunyong in a low voice: "Yunyong, how is your cultivation?"
"At the peak of the second layer, my grandmother also knows about immortal cultivators, so you might as well tell me some news. Du Yunyong asked with some surprise.
"Eh, how much can my old woman know, it's just that Yun Yong, you have to understand that there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, you can't be complacent because you are an immortal cultivator, you need to do more penance, so that you can climb higher and see farther. Grandma sighed and said earnestly.
Du Yunshu, Shuang'er and Grandma were frightened for a whole day, and they haven't eaten yet. Now that Du Yunyong has returned safely, everyone feels hungry as soon as their spirits are relaxed.
Du Yunyong personally cooks and cooks, Shu'er chops vegetables, Shuang'er lights the fire, and grandma prepares dishes and chopsticks. After a while, a hearty dinner is out of the pot. A family of four gathered around and happily ate a hot reunion dinner.
Many people complain and lament that life is too short, which is too one-sided. What is bitterness? What is sweetness? How can you know how bitter it is if you have never tasted how sweet it is in this life.
Du Yunyong enjoyed the moment when the family shared dinner in front of him, this moment was sweet, warm, and to be cherished.
Life is like this dinner, there is the bitterness of hunger before cooking, the saltiness of sweating while cooking, the sourness of saliva when the meal is just ready, the spicy green pepper that accidentally eats the condiment during the meal, and the sweetness of the smile on the face after a full meal.
No matter how long or short life is, success or failure, you must live well before you die.
Du Yunyong returned to his room, meditated cross-legged, and took out the jade box in his arms. When he opened the jade box and saw the demon pill that exuded energy, the desire to devour in his heart emerged again.
Du Yunyong thought about it in his heart, and always felt that the feeling of devouring came from the Tai'a Sword.
Pulling out the Tai'a sword like lightning and taking out the demon pill, Du Yunyong slowly moved the two closer together.
Just as the demon pill was approaching the hilt of the Tai'a Sword, suddenly the sword body trembled, and there seemed to be a magical suction force at the hilt that sucked the demon pill "whoosh".
As soon as the demon pill came into contact with the hilt of the sword, a little glimmer flashed, and the demon pill disappeared out of thin air.
Immediately afterward, Du Yunyong felt a violent energy surging from his right hand holding the hilt of the sword to his whole body.
This energy was as irritable as fire, and Du Yunyong immediately ran the "Bagua Hun Yuan Health Preservation Gong" exercise, attracting and rotating this energy towards the dantian qi sea, and slowly transforming it into the true qi in the body.
I don't know how long it took, accompanied by a rooster crow, Du Yunyong opened his eyes. A fine light shot out from the pair of narrow Danfeng.
"Whew" Du Yunyong exhaled a breath of turbidity, and the dragon's brows furrowed in an instant. Du Yunyong smelled the familiar stench again, and the clothes on his body had long been wet and sticky with sweat.
"Again, does it emit such a foul smell every time I break through a layer of cultivation exercises?" Du Yunyong asked himself.
There was cold water to rinse his body, and after Du Yunyong opened the doors and windows to emit a foul smell, he saw that everyone was still up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast by himself.
After a few simple bites, Du Yunyong went to the auspicious gambling house to order.
Before entering the gambling house, Du Yunyong heard a heart-rending cry.
"It must have been the families of the brothers who died and injured yesterday in the back hall of the gambling house to summon their souls and cry. Du Yunyong sighed secretly and walked towards the auspicious gambling house.
At the door, there was a white silk and a spirit flag, and a wooden sign that said that the business would be closed for seven days. Du Yunyong walked straight into the back hall, and a big word came into view.
Women, children, and the elderly are crying, some have lost their husbands, some have lost their sons. In short, sadness filled the entire auspicious casino.
Han Song tied a white cloth on his head and a white silk on his waist, kneeling in front of the mourning hall in the center. Kneeling behind him were the brothers who were still alive, and they were all like Han Song, who wore white cloth on their heads and white silk around their waists.
Seeing that Du Yunyong had arrived, Mr. Bookkeeper hurriedly brought filial piety to Du Yunyong.
Du Yunyong walked into the mourning hall with red eyes, knelt beside Han Song and said to the more than 20 spiritual positions on the mourning platform, "Knock, knock, knock, knock." "There were four knocks. Then Du Yunyong was just about to get up and kneel behind Han Song, but was grabbed by Han Song.
"Brother, just kneel. Han Song said in a hoarse voice.
At this time, the bookkeeper shouted: "The people have arrived, bring the head of the beast Chen Sanyuan, and pay tribute to the heroic souls of the brothers." β
After finishing speaking, a big man held a tray and put the head of the fat man on the altar.
At this time, Mr. Bookkeeper took out a piece of white paper full of blacks and read it: "The year 2018 of the Great Business Calendar, the year of Wuxu, the month of Guihai, and the day of Jisi." A strong enemy is coming, Wu Hao γγγγγγ The brothers fought to the death to protect the auspicious gambling house, fought the enemies, and sacrificed their lives for righteousnessγγγγγγ β
After the recitation of the memorial text, the mourning music was played, and the mourning inside and outside the mourning hall was sad. A woman who wanted to find a short time and followed her deceased husband to martyrdom, and the bookkeeper immediately led everyone to stop her.
When the mourning was over, Han Song turned to the many widows, women and children, and old people inside and outside the mourning platform, "Knock, knock, knock." "Three knocks. Then he shouted loudly, "I, Han Song, swear an oath in front of the spiritual throne of the dead brothers today!"
"Dead brothers, your parents are my Han Song's parents. As long as I, Han Song, have a breath of relief, I will never let them be lonely, ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and provide for them to retire and die. Your wives and children, I, Han Song, will take care of them, as long as I, Han Song, have a breath of air, I will never let them be bullied, and I will ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing. Raising children to practice literature and martial arts, and marrying and giving off when they grow up, I Han Song will definitely manage the scenery. If you violate this oath, you will be punished by man and God, and there will be no place to bury you. Brotherhood in this life, continue in the next life, all good brothers, rest in peace in the Heavenly Heroic Spirit!!" Han Song shouted hoarsely. Then he prostrated himself to the ground and wept loudly, and could not kneel for a long time.
After Han Song took the oath, all the brothers behind him, including Du Yunyong, also swore and shouted together.
For a while, the sound of the world was loud, and the emotions were moving.
The bookkeeper comforted the grief-stricken family of the deceased. The settling-in allowance has also been prepared for a long time, because Du Yunyong ransacked Chen Fatzi's treasure house, and this settling-in pension is very generous.
First of all, the parents of the dead and wounded brothers, each of whom received two hundred silver coins, and those who were not alive were kept for the widows.
Then there are the widows of the dead and wounded brothers, and the widows of each family also received 200 silver coins, and if the widow made a note and never remarried, she could receive 800 silver coins again, and if the widow did not want to make a note and never remarry, the 800 silver coins were again issued to the parents of the dead and wounded brothers.
If the wounded brother has no wife, the bereavement pension shall be given to his parents for a total of 1,200 ducats. This cost is enough for an ordinary family of four for three lifetimes.
There are also a few dead and injured brothers who have not yet married and have no parents alive, and those who have brothers and sisters will share the benefits among their brothers and sisters. If there are no siblings, put the money in the coffin and follow the dead brother into the ground.
These are Han Songli's rules.
No amount of money can buy back what is lost, such as life.
Grief will fade over time, but just like a wound, even if it heals, it will leave a scar. And the spiritual throne on those spiritual platforms is the eternal scar in the hearts of the relatives of the deceased.
It was dark and the night was quiet, Du Yunyong returned home and gave some instructions, and then returned to the auspicious gambling house to wake the spirits of many dead brothers with Han Song.
"Big brother, let's arrange for an honest and reliable brother to give him a large sum of money and let him leave the auspicious gambling house. Du Yunyong whispered to Han Song.
"Why?" Han Song asked with a puzzled glance at Du Yunyong.
"I'm afraid that one day we'll all die, and that a brother will be able to give us and my brothers' families a settling-in payment. And we can take care of our living family and so many orphans and widows. Du Yunyong looked at Han Song and said calmly. In fact, Du Yunyong had already arranged it like this in his previous life, and there were more than one or two people arranged.
Han Song's body was shocked, he had never thought of this. After being reminded by Du Yunyong, Han Song also fell into deep thought.
Han Song sighed for a long time and said, "Eh, brother, you are thoughtful, promise the eldest brother, if the eldest brother dies one day, the eldest brother's brothers will be handed over to you." β
"Hmph!" Du Yunyong smiled a little terrible, and then looked at Han Song and said with a murderous face: "If you want to kill my eldest brother, you have to step over my Du Yunyong's corpse first, so the younger brother can't agree to this matter of the eldest brother." β
"Good brother!" Han Song said gratefully patting Du Yunyong's shoulder.
The golden rooster announces the dawn, and the night goes to the day. The brothers kept vigil until dawn.
Du Yunyong was kneeling and guarding the spirit while practicing the "Bagua Hun Yuan Health Preservation Skill", so he didn't feel the slightest tiredness.
Han Song has also practiced his leg kung fu since he was a child, and it is okay to keep the spirit overnight, so he got up and went outside to discuss things with Mr. Accounts.
Du Yunyong had already broken through to the third layer of the Qi Refining Period, and after a night of penance, his realm had already stabilized. Running the exercises, Du Yunyong felt that the true qi in his body could be slowly released out of his body.
In addition to the surprise, Du Yunyong tried to release the true qi to the vase on the side to control the air. Stabilizing his mind and running the exercises, Du Yunyong slowly operated the dantian qi and sea true qi in his body to the tendons and veins in the palm of his hand, and then released it towards the vase.
"Bang" with a bang!
