Chapter 49: No Tears Until You See the Coffin

It is said that the guests in the Wan Mansion were either eating big chunks of meat, drinking wine with great gulps, feeling very happy, or clinking glasses and chatting to their heart's content.

But a servant ran up to Wan Zhenshan and whispered something, and Wan Zhenshan stood up suddenly.

Suddenly, three muffled "bang bang bang" sounds were heard, like a series of cannon fire.

Everyone in the hall's heart was beating three times. When they looked in the direction of the sound, they saw that the main gate of the Wan Mansion was blocked by three black coffins.

The three loud noises immediately put out the lively atmosphere in the hall. Everyone's drunkenness disappeared, and some martial artists grabbed the self-defense weapons they brought with them. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

They were all thinking: "What a sin Wan Zhenshan has committed!"

You should know that at noon, Lu Tong, the leader of the Taihang Mountain stronghold, was killed by the public because his brother Lu Wei was reported to the government by Wan Zhenshan for picking flowers. In order to take revenge, he came to make trouble on this good day with two buckets of manure.

Lu Tong was a very powerful figure in the underworld of the five northern provinces. He was famous for his Liuhe Knife and Liuhe Fist, both north and south of the Yellow River. However, he was rescued by Qi Changfa and Di Yun, master and apprentice, and the manure he brought got all over himself.

But unexpectedly, in the evening, another coffin arrived at the door.

Wan Zhenshan's eldest brother Jie Lukun, fourth disciple Sun Jun, fifth disciple Bu Yuan, sixth brother Jie Wukan, seventh disciple Feng Tan, and eighth disciple Shen Cheng all stood up and rushed out.

Wan Zhenshan shouted, "Stop right there."

All the disciples stopped immediately.

Wan Zhenshan looked at Qi Changfa and said, "Third brother!"

Qi Changfa slowly drank the glass of wine and sighed, "Ah, Senior Brother, your birthday party is really lively. Let's see who is this!"

When everyone in the hall looked around in horror, this man alone did not even move his neck, which showed his true courage and bravery.

Suddenly, someone laughed and said, "Boss Wan, what a delicious wine!"

When Wan Zhenshan and Qi Changfa heard this, their hearts skipped a beat: "Oh, it's him."

Suddenly, a green shadow jumped out from above the coffin wall, as swift as a civet cat. Before everyone could see his face clearly, he had already stopped in front of the hall.

He was thin and moved as fast as the wind while flying, but he could stop at any time without any shaking.

This shows that the person who came has both internal strength and lightness skills of a top level, and is much more powerful than Lu Tong who caused trouble today.

But some people were shocked when they saw the appearance of the person coming and asked, "What is this?"

Wan Zhenshan laughed and said, "Second brother, why are you joking with me like this?" Then he walked up to him.

Everyone suddenly realized that the person who came was none other than Mei Niansheng's second disciple, "Land Dragon" Yan Daping. No wonder he was so amazing! It seems that none of Mei Niansheng's disciples were given for nothing.

At noon today, Lu Tong, a famous warrior in the northern outlaws, poured out two buckets of dung. It was all thanks to Qi Changfa's profound internal skills and quick eyes and hands that he tore off his robe to catch the two buckets of dung, otherwise this birthday hall would have become a dung field.

Later, Di Yun fought with Lu Tong for the clothes his master bought with his family's big yellow cow, but he was no match for him.

Wan Zhenshan threw Lu Tong into the dung pile he had brought with a light move. His skill was truly amazing and admirable.

And now that Yan Daping has shown his skills, they are even more extraordinary. It turns out that the three disciples of Meimen all have unique skills.

But besides admiration, he was also very surprised and thought: "They are fellow disciples, why would they send a coffin to the birthday party?"

While Wan Zhenshan was greeting him, Qi Changfa also hurried forward, bowed and said with a smile: "Second Senior Brother, how are you?"

Yan Daping also bowed and said with a smile: "I am not like you, who lives comfortably with a daughter and apprentice, guarding two acres of fertile land. If I had as much knowledge as you, would the small Maxipu still have room for me?"

Wan Zhenshan and Qi Changfa both knew that Yan Da was humorous by nature, so they didn't take it seriously. However, Qi Changfa's daughter and disciple couldn't help laughing.

Di Yun and Qi Fang both thought that Qi Changfa was illiterate, but this Second Master, whom they had never met, said that he was very knowledgeable. Isn't that ridiculous? Qi Changfa waved to the two of them and said, "Fang'er, Yun'er, come and pay your respects to Second Master."

"oh!"

Di Yun and Qi Fang stepped forward and kowtowed.

"You guys come too."

Wan Zhenshan also called a group of disciples.

Unexpectedly, Yan Daping waved his hand and said, "No need! I don't look like an elder at all. I'm not worthy of these kids to greet me!"

As he said this, he picked up the wine jug on the table next to him and poured it into his mouth.

A cool breeze went straight to Yan Daping's lungs, sweet and refreshing, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good wine, good wine, I won't be able to drink it anymore!"

Wan Zhenshan was already angry, and when he heard this, he said unhappily, "You can drink as much as you want when you come to my brother's place, why are you doing this?"

Then he waved his hand to the servants and said, "Go, move that thing away!"

Yan Daping smiled and said, "Boss Wan, don't rush into it yet, I just have something to say!"

Wan Zhenshan said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, wait a minute, it won't be too late!

We three brothers haven't seen each other for many years. It's a great pleasure to have a chat today."

Qi Changfa heard his sincerity and said seriously, "Yes, since our master passed away, we have indeed had less contact with each other! I'm afraid our master doesn't want to see us like this."

Wan Zhenshan nodded.

Yan Daping's eyes flashed with a cunning look, and he said with a smile: "Boss Wan, Third Brother Qi, our incident has been exposed!"

Wan Zhenshan was startled when he heard the voice. Qi Changfa smiled and asked, "What happened?"

Yan Daping looked around and said in a loud voice: "Eleven years ago, on the night of September 8th, the three of us brothers plotted to murder our master at Sanduping in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River!"

At this moment, everyone was shocked and stood up, even those famous scholars.

They had no interest in gang fights, but this matter was too big.

After all, respecting teachers is the foundation of being a human being.

As for the people in the martial arts world, they are even more aware of the "Great Hero of the Two Lakes" Mei Niansheng, who is highly skilled in martial arts and hates evil. The villains would be terrified when they heard his name and their hearts would tremble when they heard his voice.

But he passed away suddenly. The three brothers all said it was because they lost a martial arts secret book, which made them depressed and bedridden.

It was unbelievable that he was killed by his own disciple.

Some people were afraid that they didn't understand, so they asked, "Brother Yan, can you say it again, this hero Mei..."

Yan Daping had already made up his mind. If he didn't follow Feng Yi's advice, he would suffer the consequences. Besides, since he had already said it, he didn't care about anything. He said loudly, "Listen carefully, my master Mei Niansheng was killed by us three evil disciples for the Liancheng Sword Manual!"

After these words were spoken, even though Qi Changfa had as much determination as a mountain, his heart seemed to sink into a bottomless abyss.

Wan Zhenshan felt dizzy and almost fainted.

When everyone saw that he suddenly looked tired and as if he was about to collapse, they thought to themselves that it was true. After all, the "Land Dragon" was also a well-known figure in the martial arts world, and no one, no matter how brave, would dare to lie about it.

Amid the crowd's suspicion, Wan Zhenshan had calmed down. Thinking back to what had just happened, he realized something was wrong. He held onto the edge of the table with both hands, blushing as he asked, "Second Brother, are you crazy?"

He thought to himself, "If you escape this, I will not turn you into a dead dragon, then I am incompetent."

Yan Daping sneered, "I'm not crazy. I'm more sober than ever. Since the three of us dared to murder our master, don't we dare to admit it?"

Qi Changfa laughed dryly and said, "Second Brother, it doesn't matter if you talk nonsense, but please don't drag me and the eldest brother into this!"

Yan Daping snorted coldly and said, "Qi Lao San, you are the culprit who murdered Master.

Even though we all wanted our master's Liancheng Sword Manual back then, Boss Wan and I had no intention of harming his life!

It was you who took advantage of Master's carelessness and stabbed him through the lungs with your sword. You forced Boss Wan and I into a state of no return, and created a lifelong hatred for us!"

Everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Mei Niansheng, who was so skilled in martial arts, was killed by three disciples. It turned out that Qi Changfa had attacked him by surprise and sent assassins! Qi Changfa laughed and went to the table, picked up a cup, picked up a pot of aged wine, and drank it slowly.

At this time, Di Yun and Qi Fang both had cold hands and feet, blank eyes, and trembling lips, but they could not utter a single word.

Yan Daping glanced at Wan Zhenshan, staring intently, and said slowly: "Boss Wan, do you think this is the case?"

These words are very meaningful. They are telling Wan Zhenshan that this thing has been done, but you and I are not the masterminds.

Yan Daping ultimately wanted to find a way to survive and put the blame on Qi Changfa.

Wan Zhenshan was pointed out, but he said unhappily: "Second Junior Brother, please don't talk nonsense, I didn't do such a thing."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After all, the crime of murdering the master is a public enemy of the martial arts world that everyone can punish, and no one dares to admit it.

In fact, many discerning people could see from the reactions of several people that what Yan Daping said was the truth.

But they didn't guess Yan Daping's intention. Was he too impatient to live by exposing himself like this? Suddenly, the hall was dead silent, except for the occasional sound of pouring wine, the slight chewing sound, and the breathing of the crowd.

Yan Daping's face also changed drastically. He was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "We are 'sinister and perverse'. You may deny it, but do you think no one knows about it? Qi Lao San, do you dare to say that you didn't stab Master in the back with a sword?"

Qi Changfa remained silent, picked up a glass of wine and sipped it slowly, his hanging sleeves were as straight as blades, which showed how strong his inner strength and concentration were. Everyone couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

They all wondered if they had made a mistake. Qi Changfa had never done such a rebellious thing! With a "bang", Qi Changfa suddenly threw the wine glass down, stood up, and said, "Yan Daping, you have long seen me as someone you can't stand. What do you want? Just tell me. Am I Qi Changfa afraid of you? Why do you have to accuse me and my senior brother of a crime?"

Wan Zhenshan tried to mediate, "Third brother, don't be angry. We are all brothers. No matter what happened in the past, we can't make a scene here. Give big brother some face!"

Yan Daping sighed and said, "Big brother, third brother, everything has its cause. Since you have done evil things, you should admit your retribution today.

This way, you can be seen as a man who dares to take responsibility for his actions, and you are honest and upright, which is a sign of manliness! If you deny it, you can escape the blame, and there will be no justice in this world!

I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past eleven years since I forced my master to death. Today I want to atone for my sins to my master in front of everyone!"

As he said this, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, then sat on the ground and burst into tears.

If Yan Daping had done this in normal times, everyone would have looked down on him. However, now he was able to speak frankly about his secret, which was something that not everyone could do. He cried so disregarding his dignity, and it seemed that he really regretted his decision.

Qi Changfa stared at Yan Daping, very puzzled, "I don't know why Second Senior Brother is slandering me here, but if you want to win people's trust, do you just need to talk? Or are you crying here pretending to be nice?"

Before Yan Daping could say anything, he heard someone coughing softly. Yan Daping immediately wiped away his tears and stood up.

A graceful and clear voice said, "I know you won't cry until you see the coffin. I even brought a coffin with me, but it's still not enough to face the iron chain across the river!"

Everyone turned their eyes and suddenly saw a man in white clothes and a bamboo hat standing quietly on the high wall of Wanjia. He was holding someone in his hand, with his head down and his hair disheveled, and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive.

He was shocked: "He was the one who brought the coffin, not Yan Daping! Who is this person!"

Today, the walls of thousands of families were decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. Feng Yi's martial arts skills were very high, so no one noticed when he arrived.

The eyes of Wanmen disciples fell on the person in Feng Yi's hand, with a look of surprise and doubt in their eyes. The more they looked, the more familiar he seemed.

Wan Zhenshan's eyes flickered with sparks, and he couldn't help but call out, "Gui'er!"

Wan Gui trembled, but could not make a sound.

Wan Zhenshan's eldest disciple Lu Kun was shocked and angry. He strode forward and shouted at Feng Yi: "You little dog, let my brother go."

He leaped up, drew out his sword, and a streak of white light flashed as he chopped off Feng Yi's neck. This was the sword technique from the Tang Dynasty poem "Horses neigh in the wind".

Feng Yi was scolded by him and smiled coldly: "You died because of this stinky mouth!"

He raised his hand, took off the hat on his head, and flew out.

The hat was blowing with a strong wind, but it was coming slowly. Lu Kun was in mid-air, and he thrust his sword at the hat.

With a "pop" sound, the sword tip hit the bamboo hat, but the hat suddenly exerted a huge force, and the long sword in his hand became out of control. The hilt turned and hit the "Tan Zhong Point" on the chest directly.

Lu Kun's eyes opened wide and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Not to mention that he was in mid-air, even if he was on the ground, he couldn't catch Feng Yi's hat.

Suddenly, a figure flashed and Wan Zhenshan flew over to catch Lu Kun.

Lu Kun's eyes were wide open, with blood gushing out from the corner of his mouth. He pointed at Feng Yi, tilted his head, and died instantly.

The "Tan Zhong Point" is a vital point on the human body. If one is hit by a weapon with the Shen Zhao Gong skill, it would be rare in the world to survive!

The other disciples looked at this and were all pale, thinking: "Luckily I didn't go up!"

Only then did everyone see Feng Yi's face. Not only was his white clothes whiter than snow, but even his turban was white, as if he was in mourning. He also had a handsome face and was very handsome.

Bu Yuan was secretly surprised and said, "He said he would come, and he really came!"

He once sent a message to Feng Yi and met him once.

Wan Zhenshan looked at Feng Yi and sneered, "What a skill! You can use your reputation as Feng Yi to bully Wan's son and kill my apprentice. How can this be justified?!"

Although his tone was tough, he was actually very puzzled: "Feng Yi's martial arts skills when he was in the government office were not that strong, and he might not have been much better than me. But how come he has become so strong after not seeing him for a few days?"

Feng Yi glanced at him, smiled and said, "As the saying goes, 'you pick on the weak'. You have great martial arts skills, but you didn't pass on your skills to your disciples, making them embarrassed here. Who can you blame?"

Although Mei Niansheng did not teach his disciples any magical skills, the martial arts he taught his three disciples were rare in the world and were enough for them to make a name for themselves.

As for Wan Zhenshan and Qi Changfa, they were just evil-minded. They either messed up the swordplay or taught nonsense.

Yan Daping had noticed Wan Gui's skill when he tested him before. He didn't expect that his senior brother would even betray his own son! In the original plot, he also cursed Qi Changfa when he saw Di Yun's martial arts.

Wan Zhenshan pretended not to hear and asked loudly: "Why are you here as an evil guest today?"

Feng Yi's body swayed, and he landed gracefully from the wall. He was holding a person in his hand, but he remained calm. Those who knew what he was doing all admired his great martial arts skills.

Feng Yi walked slowly, his eyes like lightning, looking around, and said lightly: "You all understand what Yan Daping said, as well as the reactions of Wan Zhenshan and Qi Changfa.

Whether these three people committed treason and murdered their master, I believe you can judge for yourself! I, Feng Yi, hereby inform you: Feng is here today as the last disciple of Master Mei to clean up the sect, and has nothing to do with others.

You can watch with your eyes and listen with your ears, but if you intervene, you will be an enemy of Feng. I hope you will be aware of this!"

After saying that, he clasped his fists and bowed to everyone around him.

Thanks to the book friend Sanfeng Lunatic Asylum for the reward.
