Chapter 509: Simple Death Anniversary
In order to quell the riots in various parties in Beizhou, he borrowed some of the power of the Fu family.
My uncle has always claimed that the Fu family and the Huo family are the overlord's right-hand men. In fact, even without the help of these two families, he will be able to take over the State of Sin sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.
Now, the Huo family is in trouble and gone.
My uncle wants to cling to the overlord even more.
Bo Hanzhou sneered slightly. He didn't need this kind of dog who flatters the powerful and looks down on the weak.
As for the Huo family, he now understood that the mysterious girl who punished the Huo family was probably Jiang Jiang in disguise.
Jiang Jiang hates evil. If she says someone deserves to die, then the person must have committed a heinous crime.
However, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the commendation meeting, Fu Hong actually dared to resolve his grandfather's death anniversary in advance.
Bo Hanzhou couldn't bear it.
Tomorrow is grandpa's death anniversary, he will definitely show up.
…
Fu's guest room.
After Jiang Ci hung up the phone, she continued to read the human skin book. After a few minutes, she looked up at the two of them.
The two were startled and quickly pretended nothing had happened, one looking at the ground and the other looking up at the sky.
"Just say whatever you want to say. What's wrong with you sneaking glances at me?"
Murong Jinran couldn't bear it any longer, her gossipy heart was burning, she jumped in front of her in three steps and asked excitedly: "Master Jiang, that was your boyfriend just now, right?"
"No." Jiang Ci said firmly.
"If he's not a boyfriend, then he must be a suitor!"
Jiang Ci held his forehead, put down the human skin book, and said faintly: "Since I started practicing Taoism, I have no interest in matters between men and women, so the two of you should stop staring at me like two excited monkeys."
"Master Jiang, has he become pure-hearted and free from desires because of his practice of Taoism?"
"Of course not." Meng Shian snorted, "I've seen that man before. He's good-looking, but not worthy of Master Jiang."
"With Master Jiang's character and practice, even if he wants to find someone to practice dual cultivation with, the other person must be an extremely powerful immortal!"
Jiang Ci just took a sip of water and suddenly spat it out, saying angrily: "I'm already a dead man, why don't you say that I should find a big guy like Hades?"
"Pluto! Yes, it's Pluto!" Meng Shian exclaimed, "Pluto is the lord of the underworld, and Master Jiang happened to be from the underworld, so he must be matched with a boss of the highest standard."
"Bo Hanzhou, he really doesn't deserve it."
Jiang Ci picked up the human skin book and knocked it on his forehead, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid?"
"I'm not a child anymore, I'm an adult!"
She chuckled, "Even if your grandfather stood in front of me, he would only dare to call himself a little brat."
Meng Shian: “…”
Well, he admitted defeat.
There is no comparison, really no comparison.
Murong Jinran looked curious: "Master Jiang, are you really not interested in men?"
Jiang Ci nodded lightly.
"So what do you think of me?" Murong Jinran's expression suddenly became shy, and he looked at her and blinked shyly.
Jiang Ci: “?”
"Hahahaha, I'm just kidding." Murong Jinran blushed, "I'm just curious. As long as we are human, we have seven emotions and six desires. Even those gods often have worldly desires and are sent down to the mortal world, don't they?"
"Why don't you have someone you like, Master Jiang?"
Someone you like?
The image of Xuanyuan Junze as a child flashed through Jiang Ci’s mind.
In an instant, the cute and adorable appearance of a little kid gradually overlapped with the skinny appearance when he grew up.
She frowned tightly.
My hands unconsciously clenched the human skin book.
Meng Shian nudged Murong Jinran with his elbow, signaling her to stop asking.
"Why are you arguing with me?" Murong Jinran didn't understand.
Meng Shian’s eyes widened.
Jiang Ci looked at the two people's little movements and smiled.
"I have been practicing Taoism since I was young, and I practice the way of great love."
"What does the Way of Great Love mean?" Meng Shian asked curiously, "Does it mean that everyone loves you?"
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "Great love is selfless and never stops. It treats all things equally without any preference. Only selflessness can achieve great love."
"Only when one's mind is pure, free from desires and actions, can one be fair and selfless."
At this point, she stopped talking abruptly.
"Master Jiang, please continue." Murong Jinran listened with great interest.
Jiang Ci said quietly, "This is what my master taught me, but I...did not obey him."
If she was truly just and selfless, how could she have cut off the country's destiny and tried to prevent the fate of future generations?
It is precisely because of the biased heart that the current result has occurred.
She doesn't deserve to mention the phrase "great love is selfless".
Meng Shian had heard her talk about cutting off the country's destiny before, and seeing that she looked worried, he quickly found an excuse to drag Murong Jinran out of the guest room and leave the space for her.
Jiang Ci laughed at himself: "Master, Master, you taught me so many great principles, but in the end I still acted recklessly and practiced the way of following my own heart. It seems that I have taken the wrong path..."
No sleep all night.
Early the next morning, Fu Qi came and knocked on the guest room door.
"Master Feng, today is the death anniversary of our late father from the Fu family. The head of the family invites you to attend the ritual."
Jiang Ci had already opened the door, fully dressed, and said, "Let's go."
Fu Qi looked at her in all black, with an extremely solemn posture, and a flash of contempt flashed across his eyes.
It's not like someone in your family has died, so why are you dressing so formally to attend the funeral?
When he arrived at the ritual site, Jiang Ci was dumbfounded.
The so-called sacrificial ritual was to casually place a small table in the Fu family ancestral hall, with a few tribute fruits and incense burners casually placed on the table. The incense sticks inside were of different heights, and it did not look like the style of a great family at all.
Moreover, there were hardly any people in the ancestral hall, except for her and Fu Qi, and two servants standing by.
Jiang Ci asked Fu Qi with a smile: "What's the matter? The Fu family went bankrupt, right?"
Fu Qi was stunned and frowned: "Master Feng, why do you say that?"
"Where is the sacrificial ritual? Why don't I see it?"
Fu Qi glanced at the small table and an awkward smile flashed across his face.
"The head of the family is busy with matters related to the commendation meeting, so the sacrifice can only be kept simple for the time being..."
In fact, this is a little bit grand.
In previous years, the servants who cleaned the ancestral hall would just light two incense sticks.
At least this year we can have a small table and offer tributes.
It’s not the head of the family’s fault for not paying attention to the old man’s sacrificial rituals. It’s because the old man was too partial to the older ones when he was alive and neglected the younger ones.
Even when the old man died, he said that he would rather hand over the family business to a young grandson than pass it on to his youngest son.
After the head of the family inherited the family, he was considered merciful not to throw the old man's spirit tablet out of the ancestral hall.
A grand sacrifice?
Impossible!
Jiang Ci smiled thoughtfully, took three incense sticks and was about to offer a worship.
The servant's anxious voice came from outside the door, "Seventh Brother, it's bad, Bo Hanzhou is coming in with a group of people!"
"What?" Fu Qi's face changed and he quickly ran out of the ancestral hall.
Jiang Ci leisurely inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner and said with a smile: "Old man, do you want to come to the world of the living for a visit?"
