There were almost no extraneous incidents in the seven-day process of the funeral, but something happened during it, which made Feng Jueyu, who accompanied Shen Tianbei, think deeply.
This incident happened on the third day after the funeral.
In fact, when the mourning hall was opened, prominent monks of all sizes in the Golden Holy City came to visit one after another. Most of them came in to pay homage and then left, and then waited for the funeral seven days later to come back to join in the fun. But there are also a small group of people who are really the same people Shen Qingqi had met during his lifetime. Some of them have a good relationship, and some of them are just acquaintances or have exchanged a few words with each other. , also came to help boost his popularity, and in this way, it was no longer a matter of one or two days. Such people would basically wait outside the mourning hall for seven days, and then be buried together seven days later.
So Wang Jingchun opened the entire mansion. Except for his family members who stayed deep in the mansion and the servants' residence which was really not suitable for entertaining guests, the rest of the place was turned into a place for sleeping, and it was basically a room. Five or six acquaintances gathered together to spend the seven days.
There is nothing Wang Jingchun can do about this, because Shen Qingqi's reputation is too great and cannot be treated differently. However, this gives some impure people a good opportunity to talk nonsense.
The cause of the matter was that when the funeral began, the three holy envoys did not leave when the mourning hall was placed on the same day. Instead, they pretended to follow Shen Tian and busied themselves around, sending a large number of people, and then the three consecutive days of condolences began. , Slowly, some people felt that something was wrong. Some guys who were not familiar with Shen Qingqi, but thought that they were close friends with Mr. Shen, began to pay attention. As a result, all kinds of gossip quickly started. It spread.
In fact, the initial focus of the discussion was Xu Teng, the Eastern Holy Envoy. I don't know which big talker had nothing to do and told the story about Shen Tianbei accusing and abusing Xu Teng in the room that day. After this news came out, there were various opinions in the public. All kinds of rumors were spread all the time, and they were out of control, and they couldn't be suppressed even if they wanted to.
After the news came out, some people began to speculate about Xu Teng's intentions. The ultimate goal must be the Golden Shengzhu. Some people said that Xu Teng started planning this matter as early as a hundred years ago. By hunting down Lianyun Poison Lord, he quietly He recruited him under his command, and secretly did a lot of things for him that were not visible on the stage; some people also said that the injury that Shen Qingqi suffered was at the hands of Lord Lian Yundu, and that it was just Xu Teng's entire plan. The second step is that Xu Teng is usually an upright person, but in fact he is despicable and insidious. He is a complete villain. His intentions are not pure, but he is full of wits and tricks, which makes him succeed every time. Some people even say that Xu Teng is simply a villain. The spies sent by the external forces of Suiluan Star Island had planned to capture Suiluan Star Island in one fell swoop many years ago and become the supernumerary sect leader of a certain giant Tianzong...
Such various rumors spread among the people that he has a nose and eyes, and some people are thick-skinned and have no basis to create bigger rumors. As a result, the identity of Holy Envoy Xu Tengdong has been criticized by the monks of Jinshengcheng. Some people think that he does not have He was qualified to be the Eastern Holy Envoy, and some people threatened that the Three Holy Envoys would unite to drive Xu Teng out of Broken Star Island. After such rumors spread, the pressure on Xu Teng increased day by day. Even on the second day of the funeral, some people At first, they took advantage of Xu Teng's unpreparedness and secretly smashed the East Holy Tower at night to demonstrate their dissatisfaction with Xu Teng. But looking back, some people discovered that during the funeral, people from the Three Holy Envoys began to secretly contact Xu Teng's men. They tried to dismantle the prestige that Xu Teng had established over the years from within the Eastern Holy Tower and isolate him.
No matter what the rumors were, Shen Tianbei was blamed that day. Xu Teng's prestige that he had built up over the years fell to the bottom in just a few days. The most frightening thing was that there were many people under the rule of Dongsheng Tower. Many monks threatened to leave the East Holy Tower and no longer obey Xu Teng's orders.
A storm hit the Golden Holy City, causing the pond that had been calm for many years to finally become turbulent. Xu Teng's fame turned into infamy, and his past glory was covered up.
In fact, this is true for both mortals and monks. Sometimes it is difficult to get praise from the world even if you do a hundred good things right, but even if you make a wrong step, what will follow will definitely be overwhelming abuse and ruthless abandonment.
At this time, Xu Teng was almost like a street rat that everyone yelled at. Even Feng Jueyu heard someone secretly curse and abuse Xu Teng in front of the mourning hall more than once while expressing condolences.
But as for Xu Teng, his behavior shocked the monks in the city. At first, the rumors about Xu Teng were not that extreme, but as Xu Teng did not fight back, did not argue, and ignored them, This group of people became bolder. At this time, new rumors appeared. On the evening of the second day of the funeral, I don’t know who heard the news from where, saying that Xu Teng couldn’t stand the world. They secretly met with Lord Lianyun Poison in Lianyun Mountain. The two of them had already found out the whereabouts of the Golden Holy Pearl from Shen Qingqi's mouth, and were preparing to work together to take out the Golden Holy Pearl, and then borrow the power of the Golden Holy Pearl to use all their strength. Overcoming the tribulation, in the market, if someone goes to abuse Xu Teng again, someone will definitely stand up, point at that person with a smile and tell him: "You are still talking nonsense here, don't blame me for not reminding you, Xu Teng has already obtained the Golden Holy Pearl. Well, it’s just around the corner for him to break through to the Dao Martial Realm. After he becomes the Golden Saint Lord, none of you can even think about it.”
Look, it was "a secret meeting to get the Golden Holy Pearl" before, but in the blink of an eye it turned into "the Golden Holy Pearl has been obtained". The difference between this is very obvious. The world knows it very well, but most people would rather believe it. Believe it or not, the people in Jinsheng City were in panic for a time. They didn't know when this glorious city would turn into a purgatory on earth after Xu Teng's breakthrough.
In short, Xu Teng is now a complete demon and has not escaped, and what will be the outcome of the Three Holy Envoys has become a new issue.
But this matter hasn't happened yet, the Three Holy Envoys couldn't sit still. The Three Holy Envoys who had been holding back for three days and didn't dare to talk to Shen Tianbei came over one after another, and because Feng Jueyu agreed to Shen Qingqi's time, To protect Shen Tianbei, he stayed in the mourning hall all the time. He and Shen Tianbei were almost inseparable. Even Fan Wudou would come over to take a look from time to time, fearing that something would really happen to the two of them. After all, there were three holy envoys in the Wang Mansion. Shen Tianbei's safety is not secure.
On the early morning of the third day, Lady Qiong, the envoy of the West Saint, came over. She started chatting with Shen Tianbei on the pretext of offering incense to Shen Qingqi. However, seeing Feng Jueyu there, Lady Qiong was a little embarrassed to speak, so she said to Feng Jueyu. Jueyu said: "Brother Feng, can you please have a few words with Tianbei alone?"
Feng Jueyu blinked. He didn't want to leave, but he didn't know how to respond. After all, he was afraid that Shen Tianbei and Lady Qiong would become the second Shen Qingqi when he was alone. When Yu was in doubt, Shen Tianbei, who had been kneeling in the hall to make the appointment, replied coldly: "Before grandpa died, he entrusted me to senior Feng. He doesn't need to leave. If you have anything to say, just say it." .”
After three days of relief, Shen Tianbei was no longer as grumpy as Shen Qingqi was when he died. This was also due to Feng Jueyu's persuasion. He knew that he was far from qualified to compete with people like the Three Holy Envoys, and he There are more difficult tasks, so the Three Holy Envoys usually take the initiative to talk to him. Even if he is reluctant, Shen Tianbei can still have some communication with the other party without appearing too unkind.
But Mrs. Qiong would not give up easily. When she saw Shen Tianbei's tough tone, she immediately persuaded him calmly: "Tianbei, what I want to talk to you about is a major event related to the future of Jinsheng City. Although Brother Feng has the trust of Mr. Shen, But after all, he is not from our Broken Star Island. To involve him for no reason is inconsistent with Mr. Shen's usual habit of doing things."
Mrs. Qiong's eloquence was not real, and she wanted to persuade Feng Jueyu to leave on the pretext of being worried about him.
But Shen Tianbei was not stupid, so how could he be easily deceived by his sweet words? Shen Tianbei said with a cold face: "If you want to say something, just say it. If you don't say it, leave. There is so much nonsense."
Qiong Niang's expression dimmed, anger flashed in her eyes, but fortunately she held it back, looked at Shen Tianbei for a long time, and said helplessly: "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll just tell you."
Madam Qiong paused and said tactfully: "Tianbei, you should understand the current situation in Jinsheng City. With Mr. Shen gone, the whereabouts of the Jinshengzhu are unknown. As the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head. The position of the Holy King of Jinshengcheng has been vacant for a long time. , if this continues, it will be of no benefit to anyone, so I hope you can tell me the whereabouts of the Golden Holy Pearl. Tianbei, I believe you know my character. I have been in the position of the Western Holy Envoy for six hundred years. , although it is not the longest, but I have never done anything to be sorry for Shengjun or Mr. Shen, and I have never been sorry for any comrades of Suiluan Star Island. If you know the whereabouts of Jin Shengzhu, please believe me. , as long as I get the Golden Holy Pearl, I will definitely be able to become a virtuous and famous king."
Lady Qiong revealed her intention, and the atmosphere in the mourning hall suddenly changed. Of course, her purpose of coming did not surprise Feng Jueyu and Shen Tianbei. After all, what kind of calculations did these holy envoys have in mind? I know it personally.
In the mourning hall, Shen Tianbei looked at Madam Qiong with a deep look. After half a cup of tea, he chuckled and said, "Believe you? Then I might as well believe in ghosts. Madam Qiong, don't think that I don't know you." What did you do? The Western Saint was your master back then. Just because you secretly hid a batch of three pills that the Li family in Xicheng paid tribute to the Holy Lord, you sued the Jin Shengjun, and finally let the new Western Saint I was punished to abdicate and be replaced by you. Of course, you were not wrong in this matter originally, but the mistake was that you knew that the three pills secretly hidden by the previous Western Holy Envoy were just to save a friend. Just sell her, Madam Qiong, tell me, do you, a person like you who sells for glory, be worthy of the title Jin Shengjun?"
