This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong, but he overdoes it. Chapter 521: Filial piety is the word.
It was night, with dark clouds rolling in, the moonlight dimming, and the evening wind blowing suddenly. The wooden door of the small temple in the mountain kept opening and closing. After several times, a figure finally flashed out and gently bolted the wooden door.
"Lao Qi, you're back. How's it going?"
Two people walked out of the darkness. One of them lit a candle, revealing the uncertain light of the fire. The three of them gathered together and sat on the ground.
These three people are all killers of the Vampire Ghost Hall. This group of people is active in secret, and each of them has an identity on the surface, so they never know each other's names. They usually communicate with each other according to the order of entering the hall. This group of people is seven in the hall.
The brothers would call him Guiqi or Laoqi.
A piece of black cloth was hung on Gui Qijiang's face, as were the other two, all using it to hide their original faces.
After the three people gathered together, they heard Gui Qi say in a deep voice: "Boss, Lao Jiu, I have found out clearly that the child followed the Beggar Clan into Sichuan. He is indeed working as a handyman in the Qingcheng Sect. Li
There is nothing wrong with the information I gave you."
The two people across from each other looked at each other, and the younger Gui Jiu spoke first: "Forgive me, if I come here with the Beggar Clan, is that kid still involved with the Beggar Clan?"
"Maybe," the older Gui Yi took over the conversation and said, "But if it were an ordinary child, they wouldn't go to such trouble to ask us to take action."
"What the boss said makes sense. If that's the case, then do we do this business?" Gui Qi made a knife with his hand and made a murderous gesture.
Gui nodded: "It's fine with me, Lao Jiu, what do you say?"
Gui Jiu didn't reply for a long time, and seemed to be hesitant. When Gui Jiu saw it, he frowned slightly: "Old Jiu, if you have any trouble, don't hide it, just say it. We will find another brother."
There is no fixed combination of members in the Vampire Hall. When business comes, whoever falls in love with it first will do it, and the team members are all improvised.

After Gui Jiu was silent for a moment, he said nonchalantly: "...It's okay. I just got distracted. I have no objection. This business can be done."
Gui Yi glanced at him and then said: "Since everyone agrees, then according to the old rules, two people are responsible for attracting the attention of the Qingcheng faction, and the remaining one is responsible for killing the kid. Who among you two will do it? Make an agreement first.
,I never kill imps."
Gui Qi shook his head and said, "I won't kill children either."
Gui Jiu nodded in a muffled voice: "Both brothers don't want to kill, so I'll leave it to my younger brother to do it for me, but I want an extra share."
Gui Yi and Gui Qi looked at each other and nodded: "No problem, if the deal is done, you get the big share."
Gui Qi had no objection. After discussing the matter of dividing the money, Gui Jiu continued: "I got the news that Master Yushu will go to the Emei Sect in three days. I suggest that we take action at that time."
Gui Qi glanced at him in surprise: "Okay, Lao Jiu, you can find out this kind of information. I don't see that you are usually just a boring gourd, but you are quite capable."
Gui Yi said happily: "It is indeed a God-given opportunity. Since the old Taoist priest Yushu is not here, the risk of our work will be a little smaller. That's it."
Immediately afterwards, several people discussed some details, and after finalizing all the issues, they left the small temple one by one and disappeared into the night.
Gui Jiu was the last to leave. He first walked towards the city, but then suddenly changed direction and headed towards the Qingcheng Sect.
Along the way, Gui Jiu took off his night clothes and veil, turned around and put on the clothes of a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. He walked back and forth quietly without attracting any attention.
When he returned to his small courtyard, he saw that the lights in the room were still on, and a soft warmth appeared on Gui Jiu's dull face.
He gently pushed the door open and entered. The woman who was doing needlework in the room stood up to greet her. He said hurriedly: "Didn't you say you don't have to wait for me? You have to teach the outer disciples tomorrow. You should rest early in the evening."
.”
Although they were words of reproach, they felt doubly sweet to the ears.
The woman smiled and said, "I have nothing to do. I just did some needlework to kill the boredom. Before I knew it, I forgot the time. Sit down quickly. I left some food for you. Please use some."
Gui Jiu's eyes were full of tenderness: "Okay."
When the woman brought the food, the two sat facing each other quietly. Gui Jiu tasted the food and praised it profusely: "Junior sister's craftsmanship is still so good. I am really lucky to marry you."
The woman was a little embarrassed and said angrily: "Senior brother, what did you say all of a sudden... By the way -"
As she said that, the woman took out some silver and handed it to the other party, and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, my brother came to Qingcheng Sect to visit me. He also knew that Master's matter was very embarrassing for you, so he specially sent it to you.
Here are some silver coins..."
Gui Jiu had a complicated expression on his face. Seeing his wife's appearance without makeup, she couldn't help feeling a little bitter. After taking a deep breath, he returned the silver coins to his wife and said softly: "Junior sister, you don't have to be like this.
, I know that my brother-in-law doesn’t have a good relationship with you, so you’d better take back the money as soon as possible.”
The woman said anxiously: "But Master..."
Gui Jiu said in a louder voice: "Junior sister, it is up to us senior brothers to handle this matter. It is enough for you to have this heart. There is no need to wrong yourself like this...Besides, don't worry, I have already
Once we find a way to get the money, we will be able to bring Master back soon."
Gui Jiu's real name is He Feiyang, and he is a disciple of the inner sect of the Qingcheng sect. He has entered the world and married a wife, and his wife is the junior sister of the same sect with whom he lives day and night. He should have lived a stable and happy life in this way, but things did not happen as he wished.
Unexpected disasters broke this tranquility.
The reason can be summed up in one sentence: He Feiyang's master was named Nanshan Immortal.
Nanshan Immortal was involved in the imperial court's rebellion and had his head beheaded, but the matter did not end there. In addition to the Qingcheng faction trying to find a way to deal with the imperial court's accountability, and desperately trying to find ways to distance themselves from this matter, they also
There is one important matter, and that is the funeral of Nanshan Immortal.
The Nanshan Immortal died, but his body was still left in the capital. According to the imperial law, such a big prisoner would end up dead in the wilderness. He was not allowed to be buried or offered sacrifices, and he could only become a lonely ghost.
However, although the law is dead, its executors are alive. Over the years, many Confucian scholars have used benevolence, justice, etiquette and trustworthiness to explain this regulation. After all, death is a big deal, and it is impossible for future generations to be fully filial.
You really don't care about the bones of your ancestors.
Ever since, there has been an unwritten rule, that is, except for those who have committed serious crimes and will not be allowed to exist in heaven and earth by His Majesty's decree, their families can spend a sum of money after their death.
Redeem the body and buy it back.
What He Feiyang and others have to do is to redeem the body of Nanshan Immortal from the imperial court so that he can be buried alive, in order to fulfill their filial piety as disciples.
However, this matter is easy to say, but very difficult to do. The first half of this matter, using money to redeem the body is very simple, because this is an unwritten rule, so most people in the yamen only accept a symbolic amount.
thing.
But the second half of the matter was difficult to do. People like He Feiyang had the money to buy it, but the people in the imperial yamen did not have the courage to sell it, because Nanshan Immortal was involved in the conspiracy to murder the emperor. In case His Majesty thinks of this matter in the future,
Wouldn't they all be in bad luck?
Therefore, the difficulty for He Feiyang and others in doing this actually lies in how to open up the joints in the yamen. The money spent here is not the same as the one used to redeem the corpse.
