There were a total of forty or fifty people walking in from outside the hospital. They all walked steadily and had great momentum. Everyone looked at them carefully. At first glance, they all gasped uncontrollably because of this sudden appearance. Numbers 4 and 50, all of them have good cultivation, no less than ten of them are in the Qiankun Realm, and only a few of them are in the Miaodu Realm, and they are still extremely young faces, and the vast majority of them have poor cultivation. , basically all above the Chengdao realm.
It was rare for Wang Jingchun, who lived in Dongcheng, to see such a large formation. Only when he saw the three most conspicuous masters walking towards him did he finally figure out who they were.
He tugged on the skirt of Shen Tianbei's clothes with his hand, and then, regardless of whether Shen Tianbei paid attention to it or not, he quickly walked over and saluted the first three people: "Young old man Wang Jingchun, I have met the three holy envoys."
In the courtyard, people numbering 40 to 50 stood in three groups. Among them, standing in the middle of the courtyard gate, was a Confucian scholar with a horse face. This person was dressed in a very elegant manner, wearing a white robe. He was extremely elegant, but judging from his complexion, He was a little haggard. He must have encountered something that made him feel sad.
There is a person on the left, an old man with a silver crown, white clothes, and plain cloth shoes. The old man's complexion is slightly dark, which causes a clear contrast between his attire and his skin color. It's just that the old man has a kind face and kind eyes, which makes people like him for no reason. There is a little dignity between his eyebrows and eyes, but mostly he is approachable and kind.
As for the last person, she is a beautiful young woman. This person is much prettier than Xu Xiuniang, but she is not as good-looking as a woman. She has an oval face, regular facial features, and no makeup on her face. The thin eyebrows are slightly straight and straight, facing behind the temples, giving a sense of calmness and self-power. The young woman is also wearing white clothes. She is not wearing a pleated skirt, but a rough cloth similar to a filial piety dress, which makes her originally slim and graceful. Her figure is slightly bloated.
In addition, when Feng Jueyu looked at the appearance of the three people, he clearly realized that the cultivation level of the three people who entered the courtyard was comparable to that of the Eastern Saint. This also reminded Feng Jueyu that these three people were probably the Golden Saint. There are three other Holy Envoys in the city, they are the Western Holy Envoy - Qiong Niangzi, the Southern Holy Envoy - Mo Shiren, and the Northern Holy Envoy - Cao Sheng.
The reason why Feng Jueyu knew the names of the three Holy Envoys was because, firstly, behind them were Xu Xiuniang, Xu Xian, and Jiao Jin, the three Holy Envoy disciples. Secondly, because they were looking for him a few days ago. When Shen Qingqi was with him, Lin Lie, that big-mouthed person, found out the details about the Four Holy Envoys from Shen Tianbei. He eavesdropped for a while, and then he consciously recognized the three of them without any recommendation from others. The identity of the Holy Messenger.
When the three holy envoys and their men walked into the courtyard of the back house, the small courtyard was instantly crowded with people. The three holy envoys all had good demeanor, one was taller than the other, but At this moment, the faces of the three holy envoys were more or less sad. Looking at their clothes, they probably heard that Shen Qingqi had passed away and came here to express their condolences.
But when they saw Xu Teng, their sad faces suddenly turned into anger and anger.
Lady Qiong, the envoy of the West Saint, who was as beautiful as jade, stepped forward on foot, glared at Xu Teng fiercely, walked to Shen Tianbei's side without saying anything, and said comfortingly: "Mr. Shen, it was our dereliction of duty that caused Shen Tianbei's death. The old man was greatly humiliated by this, and even more so, Mr. Shen was brutally murdered by a gangster. Don’t worry, I promise you that I will never let the murderer go unpunished. No matter who he is, he must repay his disrespect for Mr. Shen with death. "
Shen Tianbei listened, his eyes unblinking, as if frozen, but his expression had already told Madam Qiong, don't be like a cat, I won't accept your favor.
"Xu Teng, as a holy envoy of the Holy City, you actually did such a despicable thing. I am ashamed to be associated with you." As soon as Lady Qiong finished speaking, Mo Shiren, who had long eyebrows and white hair, directly accused Xu Teng. .
As soon as he said this, Feng Jueyu glanced at Wang Jingchun. The latter also looked displeased in his panic, and instantly glared at the servant behind him.
Needless to say, not long after Shen Qingqi's death, the news in the courtyard reached the ears of the three holy envoys. This Wang's house must not be clean either.
Xu Teng stared at the three people with a sullen face. Seeing that the three holy envoys were all angry at him, Xu Teng immediately sank his face and said coldly: "If some of you come to accuse Xu today, I will I can tell you here that Mr. Shen’s matter has nothing to do with this envoy. However, if a few people insist on using this to coerce me into surrendering and seeking compromise, that is fine. Please come up with solid evidence and I will immediately abdicate and make way for someone more worthy. Just listen to what they say, otherwise, please don't speak out."
Xu Teng rebuffed him very sternly, his words were very tight, and his meaning was very obvious. You have accused me for so many years, and I can't defend myself. I don't want to argue anymore. If there is evidence that I did it, I will accept it. Otherwise, Just shut up.
After saying this, Xu Teng walked out of the hospital with his hands behind his back, a look of exhaustion on his face, which made many people look touched. Suddenly they felt that Xu Teng was not so hateful. Maybe he was really unjust, but among them After all, they are only a minority, and those who truly believe Xu Teng is the mastermind behind this still account for a large portion.
"Xu Teng, please remember, if I find out that you killed Mr. Shen, I, Cao Sheng, will never let you go." Cao Sheng, the Northern Saint envoy, stared at the lost Xu Teng with lightning eyes. , speaking ill of each other.
But Xu Teng, as if he didn't hear anything, just walked away in full view of everyone.
"Xu Teng, one day, I will kill you with my own hands to comfort my grandfather's spirit in heaven."
Shen Tianbei stared at Xu Teng's retreating back, clenching his teeth and making a sound of hatred. Ever since he learned from Shen Qingqi that the guy who arrested and killed Shen Qingqi was Lianyun Dujun, Shen Tianbei hated Xu especially. Teng, even he subjectively believed in his heart that Xu Teng was the mastermind behind instigating Fu Zhaoxun to persecute Shen Qingqi. Because of this, Shen Tianbei, who should have been full of resistance to the Four Holy Envoys, now turned against Lady Qiong and Mo. The hatred between Shi Ren and Cao Sheng decreased sharply.
But this does not mean that Shen Tianbei does not hate them. He still has to hate them. After all, what happened to Shen Qingqi was because of the Golden Holy Pearl. And if the Four Holy Envoys did not seize power, how could Shen Qingqi be robbed and killed?
When the three holy envoys saw Xu Tengyuan leaving, they didn't say much. They all came forward to comfort and persuade Shen Tianbei to feel unfair. The words of the three were so beautiful that it made people pick out even the slightest flaw. In the end, Lady Qiong said: "What a tragedy, Mr. Shen has already left. Let's bury Mr. Shen."
"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Shen's funeral affairs must be handled smoothly. We will work together to send Mr. Shen into the barrier in seven days." Mo Shiren agreed.
Speaking of this, Feng Jueyu was puzzled. He didn't understand why Shen Qingqi was buried and sent to the barrier. But later he inquired about it and found out about the customs of Shailan Star Island.
In fact, on Broken Star Island, both ordinary people and holy kings and envoys follow the customs left by their ancestors. After a person dies, a mourning hall will be set up somewhere and a grand ceremony will be held. , in this process, if a person with high authority dies, the body will be placed in the mourning hall for seven days to be mourned by relatives and friends. After seven days, a coffin will be made and the body will be placed in it. , and sealed the coffin and took it to the edge of the sea barrier on the west coast, and the master sent it to the depths of the barrier where the Void Blades were raging, and then was swallowed by the black hole.
Although this way, the body can no longer be preserved, but after all, this is the custom of Shaanluan Star Island. According to the people on Star Island, after a person dies, the soul wanders outside the body, and should follow the body to the depths of the vast space. Wandering, only in this way can one live up to his status as a monk during his lifetime. And after the black hole created by the barrier of the Void Blade swallows the corpse coffin, it means that people have gone to enjoy blessings in places other than the grand world, and some even have souls that have become gods. The saying means that this person cannot defeat the flying void during his lifetime, but after death he can wander around in the depths of space and fulfill his lifelong wish.
Since there was this custom, Shen Tianbei naturally would not let his grandfather leave in such a deserted manner, so he borrowed a place from Wang Jingchun, opened a mourning hall in the east courtyard of Wang's mansion, hung up the soul sail, and then Get some paper-made boys and girls, and add blessings and seals to them to make the paper-made people come alive, just like the children of the next generation kneeling in front of the hall, and then waiting to be "buried".
With Wang Jingchun as an old friend during his lifetime, and the Four Holy Envoys' sufficient "respect" for Shen Qingqi, the funeral was indeed conducted in a decent manner.
First of all, Wang Jingchun vacated the east courtyard and hung white sails and white lanterns inside and outside. Then he set up a huge mourning hall with a memorial tablet, tables, chairs, fruits, and incense candles. Paper charcoal, an incense burner, plus paper-pierced people, horses, eighteen hell imps, judges, Ksitigarbha and so on, and a hundred monsters were produced, and they were slaughtered evenly over seven days. These are called funerary objects on Suiluan Star Island. , the most eye-catching thing is the hundred monster beasts, ranging from large to small, there are all kinds of them. After killing these monster beasts, the demon essence will be taken out, and then the monks will personally make the demon essence of the hundred demon beasts. The cinnabar contained in the writing talisman was then used to write some talismans on the clothes Shen Qingqi wore according to the established rules and customs, which was equivalent to training Shen Qingqi. After his death, there would be at least a hundred powerful monsters following him along the way. Escort him to the gate of hell and arrive in front of the King of Hell.
The entire funeral process is roughly the same, and Shen Qingqi also met many people during his lifetime, and even if he hadn't, on the first day after setting up the mourning hall, all the monks in the city came to express their condolences, and many of them, Shen Qingqi himself did not recognize before.
, but these people are common people and monks in the city, and they all respect the Saint King's personal guards very much, which is equivalent to the rules that have been guarding Broken Star Island for tens of thousands of years. Many people came to see Shen Qingqi off.
