I don't know if it was the scream from the security guard that made the sedan bearers turn their heads at the same time and stare at him. One of the sedan bearers in white said in a stiff tone: "The fallen leaves return to their roots and are buried in peace. The survivors of the Zhang family have been returned." After saying that, the eight sedan bearers repeated together: "The fallen leaves return to their roots and are buried in peace. Zhang The family bereaved has been returned.”
They repeated the words several times, then lifted up the sedan again and walked towards the Zhang family's room dedicated to worship. They seemed to be attracted by the smell of incense there, or maybe they wanted to find a place to take shelter from the rain. The security guard looked at them in panic and shouted loudly: "Hey! What are you going to do? That is the place where the Zhang family worships. You are not allowed to trespass!"
However, these people completely ignored his call and still carried the sedan towards the room that smelled of incense.
At this time, outside the Zhang family's yard, a man in a black cloak glanced at the Zhang family's wall. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "This is the only way to go. The shopkeeper said that among the corpse exorcists, there is such a person. According to the rules, you can't send your own corpses to avoid being infected by evil spirits. Besides, there is no time to explain to them. Brother Qilin is in trouble, and I don't know if I can handle it as soon as possible. Just send it to Jiumen, so that you can go back to find my brother as soon as possible.”
It was Hao Xie who was standing outside the Zhang family's courtyard. Due to the rules of the walking master, "the corpse should not be sent to the house, and the corpse should not be sent to the door." Hao Xie belonged to the Nine Sects and was considered a large family, so he could not deliver the corpse to his own family.
But fortunately, Hao Xie is now considered a proficient paper maker. He is good at paper making skills and can make soldiers by spreading the beans, so he temporarily made a few paper figures and gave them a yin age, so he has the current paper figure bearer. The scene of delivering the corpse in a sedan chair.
However, the paper man delivering the coffin without anyone entering the room was the same as the corpse exorcist, so Hao Xie had no intention of staying.
What he was most worried about was the situation on Zhang Qilin's side. He didn't know whether he was safe.
After delivering the body, he had to rush over to help. He couldn't stay here for too long, because Brother Qilin couldn't wait for him for too long.
So Haoxie is now in a hurry to send all the corpses to Jiumen and complete the task, so that he can find Zhang Qilin as soon as possible.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of what Zhang Qilin said when he parted with Zhang Qilin: "Tomorrow at Xu time, under the pagoda tree."
This is the place they agreed upon.
Shaking his head, Haoxie didn't have time to think too much. He knew that Zhang Qilin was in critical condition now and he couldn't afford to delay.
He rang the yin and yang corpse exorcism bell in his hand again, and muttered: "Bell... bell... Yin people go on the road, yang people avoid it! Dang! Dang! The monsters retreat, don't be surprised to return! Dang! Dang!"
Every time the bell rang, the corpse would jump in time with Hao Xie's bell.
This night, it was raining lightly.
Zhang family, Huo family, Hao family...
In every house in Changsha's Jiumen, a strange bell and a strange gong sounded on this rainy night.
Later, eight very strange white-clothed sedan bearers appeared in their yard, and the people sitting in the sedan happened to be corpses.
That night, Jiumen was shocked and Changsha was shaken!
In the early morning of the next day, the doors of the mansions of the nine major fighting families in Tanzhou were closed tightly. Paper money wetted by rain was scattered in front of the doors, like fallen leaves in autumn, covering the streets.
Every mansion showed a similar scene, with tired faces on people's faces, as if they hadn't slept all night.
The servants' eyes revealed dullness and helplessness.
In the courtyard of the Zhang family's mansion, all the servants gathered together, while Zhang Wenshan, the head of the Zhang family, sat opposite them.
A burst of noisy discussion resounded in the yard, as the servants discussed the strange events that happened last night.
"What happened so early in the morning?" someone asked curiously.
"Don't you know yet? Something happened at home last night!" Another servant responded in a low voice.
"Something happened? What happened?"
"I heard that eight people in mourning clothes broke in last night carrying a corpse, and it is now placed in the ancestral hall!"
"The ancestral hall is an important place for the Zhang family. How can they enter?"
"Who knows, I heard that all the security guards were busy all night last night. Look at them now, they are all listless."
"Where are the people carrying the sedan chairs?"
"It seems that he is still in the ancestral hall."
"No way? The master usually values the ancestral hall the most, why would he let them stay there?"
"Yes, the evil is here. The security guards said that those people didn't put down the sedan all night, and they didn't reply when they talked to them. They were like dead people. The security guards wanted to carry them out, but those people died. It’s so heavy that I can’t even lift it!”
"So just let them stay in the ancestral hall?"
"What else could I do? I couldn't drive him away, and I didn't want to make the matter a big deal, so I didn't call the police."
While the servants were talking about each other, a servant couldn't help but asked curiously: "Who is the dead man in the sedan?"
"Shh... don't talk nonsense. There was someone who talked nonsense this morning and his bonus has been deducted!" Another servant quickly stopped him.
The discussion became louder and louder. Zhang Wenshan suddenly coughed, and the discussion suddenly stopped.
The security guard in front of him trembled all over, and looked up at Zhang Wenshan with a horrified expression.
"Tell me, what's going on? Let's start from the beginning and don't leave out a single detail!" Zhang Wenshan asked sternly.
The security guard quickly reported the situation last night: "Master, when I was on duty last night, I heard the ringing of bells and gongs outside, which was very strange. Then I saw on the monitor that these people carrying sedan chairs broke in. I hurriedly I ran over to stop them, but they didn't listen to me at all. I even wondered if these people were deaf and mute! I asked them to go out, but they didn't. I saw that they ignored me. I took a look at the sedan and found that there was a dead person sitting in it! I was so frightened that I didn't even react. I want to stop them, but they are too strong and I can't stop them at all. Master, it's really not my fault!" Zhang Wenshan waved his hand, the anger on his face obvious.
He was very shocked because he had seen the person in the sedan. It was none other than his cousin Zhang Wenfeng who was the same age as him!
Zhang Wenfeng died fifteen years ago, and no one knows where his body is.
At this time, he appeared at his house inexplicably. What does this mean?
What is the plan of the person who sent the body behind this?
The strangest thing is that the people carrying the sedan chair do not look like living people at all, but they have the same breathing and pulse as living people.
But how can a living person be so rigid?
Without saying a word or even changing a single movement, he just carried a sedan and occupied their ancestral hall, unable to survive.
"Could it be that the elders found his body?" Zhang Wenshan secretly guessed, "Except the elders, no one else can do this, right?"
At this time, Zhang Wenshan's daughter Zhang Xiunian walked up to him and said softly: "Father, the security guard must be right."
Zhang Wenshan glanced at Zhang Xiunian, frowned and asked, "Why, do you have any other news?"
Zhang Xiunian nodded and glanced at the servants who were still present.
Zhang Wenshan waved his hand to let the servants disperse and warned them to keep it secret.
After all the servants had dispersed, Zhang Xiunian continued: "Father, I received news that the Hao family, Huo family and Qi family also received a body. Just like us, someone brought it in on a sedan chair. No, they didn't say who sent it. But I heard that some of them heard a strange ringing and gong sound last night. After checking the surveillance, they found that several black shadows appeared in the video, and the speed was very fast. I can't even take a picture of their specific figures, let alone what they look like, but the situation should be the same as ours. Moreover, not only the Huo family, Qi family and Hao family are closed today, but the other families are also closed. It seems that something important happened. If this is not a coincidence, I think they also received the body, but chose to keep it secret like us."
Zhang Wenshan frowned, thought for a moment and then said: "Is there such a thing? It seems that the person who sent the corpse is not coming for our Zhang family, but for our Jiumen!"
However, Zhang Xiunian said again: "Probably not. I heard that it was not just Jiumen that received the corpse. This situation also happened in the Tanzhou City Church last night. However, the news from the church said that it was captured in the surveillance The strange black shadow, like other reports, cannot be seen in detail. However, judging from the shadow, this person is probably about 1.8 meters tall. And the strange thing is that the church was there at that time. Only one figure appeared at the door, but the Huo family's surveillance camera captured seven figures, and the Qijia surveillance camera captured four figures. As for the Hao family, their security guard said they only heard a strange ringing sound, but they did not capture it on the surveillance camera. Black Shadow! And the body sent by the church is Kauris who had a relationship with our Nine Sects more than ten years ago.”
Zhang Wenshan looked at Zhang Xiunian, his brows furrowed deeper, and his eyes were full of doubts: "I don't understand this. What does the person who sent the body mean? It doesn't seem like he is coming for our Nine Sects. But why didn’t he dare to show up? And he was so mysterious!”
Zhang Xiunian also pouted, saying that he didn't understand the relationship.
She just felt that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed, so she asked: "Father, whether this matter has anything to do with the Jiumen or not, it is now involved in the Jiumen. Do you think we should get together? Discuss this matter?”
Zhang Wenshan nodded and said: "What are the opinions of the other schools?"
"It's not sure yet," Zhang Xiunian responded, "but everyone will definitely know about this matter sooner or later. It is impossible to keep it secret. Just like we block the news, others can also pass through the Huo family, Hao family and Qi family The situation reminds us. Instead of doing this, it is better for everyone to sit down and talk openly to see what the connection between these people is, and what the Hao family and Huo family said about the bodies sent to them. They seemed to have disappeared more than ten years ago. There was no news after that, and everyone always thought they were just missing. It seems that there might be something we didn’t know about more than ten years ago.”
Zhang Wenshan narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to recall things that happened a long time ago, and then whispered softly: "More than ten years ago..."
Then he shook his head, sighed silently and said: "Go and contact the parents of the other families. Also tell the Zhang family members outside to be careful. By the way, is there any news about the parents now?"
Zhang Xiunian shook his head and said no. The Zhang family can be the head of the Nine Sects mainly because of the head of the family, but at this moment there is no news about the head of the family.
Twenty years ago, the master disappeared mysteriously and there has been no news to this day.
Zhang Wenshan sighed silently and said in his heart: "Zhang Qilin, where are you?"
In the second-floor office of the Kyoto Archaeological Association, Chen Wenjin was flipping through information about Sanjia Mountain Village, and her thoughts could not help but drift back to the chance encounter at the entrance of the mountain village that day.
"Is he really Zhang Qilin?"
She was once so sure, but as time went by, the figure gradually became blurred in her memory, making her wonder whether the person she saw that night was Zhang Qilin.
However, how could there be two people so similar in the world?
Not only the looks, but also the personalities are so similar.
She shook her head and whispered to herself: "I should be right, that person is Zhang Qilin."
As she said that, she picked up a Hades coin in the drawer, looked at the words on it carefully, and then whispered: "Yin Yang Inn, it's time to go there, if you are there!"
At this time, Dapeng walked in with a stack of information and sat down opposite Chen Wenjin in frustration.
"The opinions from above have come out. The plan to salvage the ancient coffin from the Yangtze River has been postponed. Let us prepare. We may set off in a few days." He explained that they found clues to Kuiliang's tomb. Professor Jin from the second archeology team has already He took people there and seemed to find the location of Kuiliang's tomb.
Chen Wenjin nodded and asked: "Did you say when to go?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang suddenly.
When she saw the caller ID, she frowned and answered the phone in confusion.
"Dad? Why did you suddenly remember to call me?" she asked, because she knew that her father usually would not call her easily unless something big happened.
Sure enough, my father's voice seemed a little old but excited: "Wen Jin? The family may want you to come back. Now the Tanzhou Nine Gates Talks will be held, and everyone in the family must participate."
Chen Wenjin opened her eyes wide in surprise and asked in shock: "Nine-door talks? Why did you suddenly think of doing this?"
The father explained: "Last night, the nine gates of Tanzhou received a corpse one after another. We will talk about the specific matter when you come back!"
After hearing what his father said, Chen Wenjin frowned and then put down his phone.
She looked at Dapeng and said helplessly: "Please ask for leave for me. I have to go home in the next few days. I don't know when I can come over. Something happened at home." (End of Chapter)
