Qin Mu put away the gold ingots and said, "Big man, concentrate on your cultivation. I will come back to you tomorrow. You must not enter the side hall, that devil is very cunning!"
The demon ape nodded.
Qin Mu immediately set off back to the village. Not long after, he came to the outside of Canlao Village. From a distance, he saw two paper boats docked in the air at the entrance of the village. The paper cranes fell under the tree at the entrance of the village, but there were no traces on the boats or the paper cranes.
There is no one around, so he must have entered the village.
He walked into the village and saw the old man who had spoken on the boat sitting opposite the village chief, talking to the village chief, and said: "I heard that Granny Si from your village is very skilled at craftsmanship, so I came here to ask her to help me cut some clothes.
"
The village chief said: "May I ask what clothes you want to wear and what are their sizes?"
The old man said: "To make a shroud, there are nine pieces in total. Just cut them according to the figures of the people in your village. I also heard that Mr. Ma is a good carpenter, and I have to ask Mr. Ma to help make nine coffins. The length of the coffin also depends on the size of the shroud."
According to your body shape."
Suddenly, the old man looked surprised when he saw Qin Mu approaching, and changed his words: "I made a mistake, there are ten shrouds and ten coffins. Qianqiu, please pay the deposit."
The man named Qianqiu stepped forward and waved slightly. He saw a paper boat floating at the entrance of the village and landed next to the village chief. Qin Mu immediately saw that the goods on the boat were all paper money, ingots, candles, funeral sticks, white flags, etc.
Unlucky thing!
The old man asked him to park the paper boat at the entrance of the village and said: "This is a deposit for ten shrouds and ten coffins. I would like to ask my mother-in-law and Mr. Ma if they can make it today? To be honest, I am in a hurry to use it."
The cripples, blacksmiths, pharmacists and others in the village were all busy with their own work, but suddenly they all became quiet. Granny Si came tremblingly and said with a smile: "Ten shrouds, we need them today? Some of the guests are rushing."
.”
Mr. Ma came over and said coldly: "I am quick and the coffin can be made today. Can the old gentleman wait a moment?"
The old man smiled and said: "It's a bit rushed, but you are all capable people, so you should be able to drive them out, right?"
Granny Si glanced at the ingot candle on the boat, sneered and said, "If you are in a hurry to wear it, you can make it now. I happened to buy some cloth a few days ago."
The old man leaned forward and said, "Excuse me, mother-in-law."
Granny Si walked back to the house, took out several batches of cloth, shook her hands, and batches of cloth floated in the air. Then a pair of scissors flew out of her basket and cut in mid-air. After a while, the clothes were sampled.
Forming.
Another silver needle flew out of the small basket, threaded the needle and thread, and flew back and forth in mid-air, quickly sewing the shrouds one after another.
Mr. Ma walked outside the village and came under the thick willow trees by the river. Green air flew out from his fingers and whirled around the willow trees. After a while, the thick tree body was cut into white wood coffins.
These white wooden coffins flew over and landed at the entrance of the village.
Granny Si's clothes were also finished. The old woman waved her hand gently, and the shrouds fell on the coffin one by one.
Mr. Ma stepped forward and said coldly: "You brought a lot of money, so I made two more twelve coffins for you for free. They are tailor-made. If you lie down and keep them, they will not be an inch longer or a minute shorter! Old gentleman
Are you still satisfied?"
Granny Si smiled and said, "I also made two more sets of shrouds for free, making sure they fit well."
The old man chuckled and said, "Satisfied, satisfied."
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting weirder, Qin Mu secretly counted the people in green and the old man, and there were exactly twelve of them together!
The pharmacist came over with a gloomy face, but his voice was very soft: "The old gentleman's accent doesn't sound like a local, it seems to be from southern Xinjiang."
The old man smiled gently and said: "We are from southern Xinjiang, the Lijiang generation."
The lame man came up with a smile on his face and said: "There is a Lijiang Sect in the Lijiang River. I heard it is a big sect. They live by the river and there are many experts. I heard that the leader of the Lijiang Sect is called Mu Beifeng. He has extraordinary supernatural powers and can stretch out his hands.
It can stop the flow of the river."
The old man said quickly: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. The old man is Mu Beifeng, and our Lijiang sect is actually just a small sect that makes a living. We rely on mountains and rivers to make a living on the river. The old man has five junior brothers.
, thanks to the respect of Taoist friends from all walks of life, he is called the Five Elders of Lijiang River."
Qin Mu's heart suddenly suddenly changed, and his face changed slightly. Aren't the Five Elders of Lijiang the same five old people who died at the hands of Granny Si?
Could it be that this Mu Beifeng led the crowd here with the intention of avenging the Five Elders of Lijiang River?
He ordered ten coffins and ten shrouds to be made, which were clearly prepared for everyone in Canlao Village. After killing the villagers, he put the villagers in shrouds, put them in the coffins and buried them on the spot, and then burned some ingot candles!
And these paper boats and cranes are also prepared for the villagers of Canlao Village after their death!
Mu Beifeng turned the jade ring on his thumb and said slowly: "Two years ago, the imperial court issued an imperial edict, and the Imperial Master personally came with the imperial edict. He came to our Lijiang Sect and sat down with the old man to talk about Taoism. Within a moment of burning incense, the old man felt happy.
Surrender, accept the imperial edict, and thank the Lord for your kindness. Thanks to the emperor and the Imperial Preceptor, I, the Lijiang Sect, have honored me and made me the minister of the Five Miao Prefecture in Southern Xinjiang. I am an official of the second rank and will govern the Five Miao Prefecture. The Imperial Preceptor also granted me the title of Miao Five Elders of the Lijiang River.
Deputy Protector of the Jianghu Mansion, third-grade official. We are idle clouds and wild cranes after all. Although we have been granted official positions, we still like to move around."
The village chief smiled and said: "Yankang Kingdom is a sect disguised as a country. The emperor is assisted by Yankang's national teacher, who is known as the first person among gods. In recent years, the country's fortune has become more and more prosperous. It has surrendered many sects and allowed disciples of various sects to be defeated.
Entering the army, opening up borders and splitting the soil. Brother Mu was originally free and unrestrained, but when he became an official in the court, he had to be controlled by the court's laws, which is not reasonable. "
Mu Beifeng said: "So, my five junior brothers were very restless and wanted to go out for a walk. They took the Five Lijiang Sons into the Great Ruins. The Five Lijiang Sons were the disciples of my five junior brothers. They were a little bit capable.
My five junior brothers plan to take them to practice."
The blind man came up with a bamboo stick and said: "The five elders of the Lijiang River entered the Great Market to practice? And they brought their disciples with them? The Great Market is very dangerous, and I can't help but worry about them."
Mu Beifeng sighed: "Yes. The Great Ruins are too dangerous, and there are vicious people everywhere. They have been gone for two months, and I haven't seen them come back. I knew in my heart that something was wrong, so I searched all the way.
, I was lucky enough to find the place where my five junior brothers died. My five junior brothers died miserably. Judging from the wounds on their broken bones, the person who killed them should be a master of the Demon Cult. He was not tall and was the same as Si.
Almost like a mother-in-law."
He shook his head and said: "Then, I found the place where their disciples died. It was a canyon, and the corpses were destroyed by wild beasts. Alas, they died miserably... Judging from the wounds on their bones, it seemed that they had done it
He should be a young warrior, about the same as this little brother. I heard that there are tailors and carpenters in your village, so I came here to order the shrouds and coffins for the murderers of my junior brother and nephew, and waited to put them in them.
"
There was a bit of arrogance on his face: "Although I am an official of the imperial court, I am used to being a villager in the mountains and countryside, and I am not used to the red tape of the imperial court, so I still follow the rules of the world and come to avenge my junior brother and nephew. Qianqiu."
When the old man said this, he closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Behind him, a young warrior stepped forward and looked at Qin Mu. It was the man who asked for directions in the air and threw a gold ingot to Qin Mu, saying: "My junior brother Qu was beaten to death with a wooden stick using a sword technique.
, Little brother, you are carrying a sword on your back, can you use your sword skills to fight me?"
Qin Mu hesitated and looked at Granny Si and the village chief.
Granny Si couldn't help but said: "Mu'er, the people in southern Xinjiang are wild and ruthless. They will be ruthless and show no mercy. If he asks you to use a sword, you will use it..."
"shut up!"
The village chief scolded, stopping Granny Si from continuing, and said calmly: "We are here according to the rules. We did not use the power of the imperial court and Yankang Imperial Master to suppress us, and we cannot break the rules. No one is allowed to give advice to Qin Mu.
No help is allowed either.”
He looked at Qin Mu with stern eyes and said coldly: "Qin Mu, the coffins and shrouds are right there. If you are kind and patient, one of the coffins will be yours! Either he dies or you die! If someone invites a fight, why don't you still do it?
