Western Province, Yunbian Town.
Tu Xingzhu followed Lu Nanxing out of the station. Lu Nanxing walked in front with big strides, and Tu Xingzhu followed closely behind, dragging a suitcase in one hand.
"Tu Xingzhu, please hurry up, my uncle is waiting anxiously."
As Lu Nanxing spoke, he did not forget to teach the lesson.
Tu Xingzhu couldn't help but look up and roll his eyes, "Then why don't you take the suitcase yourself."
You knew you were going on a long journey but you didn't bring Huasui with you. Huasui is so strong that he can easily carry the suitcase.
Lu Nanxing stood still, with his hands on his hips.
"Why is it so hard for me to ask you to help me carry a suitcase? Look at your attitude, is this begging for help?! Lao Zhu, are you a little too weak?"
Lu Nanxing did not deliberately lower her voice. When passers-by who were leaving the station heard her words, they all looked at Tu Xingzhu behind her.
Tu Xingzhu was almost in a state of collapse under the gossiping gazes of the crowd, and immediately dragged two suitcases forward quickly.
"Shut up and go away."
Lu Nanxing laughed. As they walked out of the station, they saw a luxury car parked at the exit. A middle-aged man in black clothes and black pants was waving at them.
"Nanxing! Here!"
When Lu Nanxing saw the person coming, he immediately ran over with a look of surprise on his face.
"Sixth cousin! Why are you the one who came to pick me up?!"
"Knowing you were coming back, didn't you come here specially?"
The middle-aged man called the Sixth Cousin glanced at Tu Xingzhu behind Lu Nanxing, and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze, slightly satisfied.
"I heard that you were going to bring your friends home, so you drove your family's new car. Didn't that embarrass you?"
"What kind of person is he embarrassed about? It's not like he doesn't know what our clan does."
Lu Nanxing asked Tu Xingzhu to get in the car. The car drove to the north of the town. Tu Xingzhu subconsciously looked outside and found that the car drove into an obvious funeral street.
It was approaching dusk and there were no pedestrians on the street. The street, filled with all kinds of fashionable paper-made objects, looked a bit eerie.
Lu Nanxing rolled down the car window and stuck his head out. Soon someone from the store greeted them.
"Is Nanxing back?"
"Third Aunt, I'm back."
"Nanxing, come over to my house and sit down. Grandma made some delicious tea cakes."
"Okay, Seventh Aunt."
The car drove slowly along the way, and Lu Nanxing kept greeting people on both sides like a star returning to the village. Tu Xingzhu listened carefully and found that everyone on the street, big and small, seemed to be related to her.
Perhaps seeing the surprise in his eyes, the seventh cousin next to him said,
"Nanxing is the pride of our clan."
Then he asked Lu Nanxing, "Why didn't you bring Hua Sui with you this time? Uncle missed him."
Lu Nanxing only said,
"Give him a holiday. He is a guardian after all. He should go and see his cubs once in a while."
There was a visible flash of disappointment in the seventh cousin's eyes, and he quickly started talking to Tu Xingzhu.
Tu Xingzhu knew before that Lu Nanxing was valued by the clan because of the contract with Hua Sui, but he didn't expect them to value him so much.
When the car stopped, Tu Xingzhu looked at the funeral home not far away and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Without asking any questions, Tu Xingzhu followed Lu Nanxing into a Chinese-style courtyard.
When I walked in, I saw a lot of people of all ages sitting in the room, talking to each other. When they saw Tu Xingzhu, they all became quiet for two seconds.
"Is Nanxing back?"
A middle-aged woman came over, took a look at Tu Xingzhu beside her and the empty space behind her, and asked with some disappointment,
"Hua Sui hasn't come back yet?"
"Hua Sui has his own things to do, so don't keep thinking about him."
Lu Nanxing said, ignoring the many tribesmen in the room who were obviously disappointed, and introduced them to everyone, "This is Tu Xingzhu, my colleague."
"Boyfriend?"
Some people laughed and joked, and a young aunt looked loving, "You know what, she's a perfect match for our Nanxing."
"Hey, I'm back to meet my parents."
Lu Nanxing hurriedly stopped everyone.
"He came here for something. My cousin's wife prepared some food for us. We still have to go back to the village to say hello to my uncle."
Upon hearing this, the seventh cousin said, "Why don't you live at home? I also want to show you our newly burned urns. They are made from the dirt from the mountain, so the quality is really good."
After much persuasion, Lu Nanxing finally had his meal surrounded by everyone.
Not to mention Tu Xingzhu, it was his first time to be stared at by so many people while eating, and the meal was almost as tasteless as chewing wax.
Before coming here, I knew that Lu Nanxing's family background was special, but I didn't expect that not only was his family background special, but it was also so huge.
During the short time he was eating, he heard a lot of things about the tribe from the people around him.
For example, the funeral street we just passed by is all the clan’s business.
For example, the funeral industry in Yunbian Town and even in Western Province is basically monopolized by the clan.
For another example, the Lu family also has a nationwide funeral group, whose business is not limited to exploring feng shui, determining burial sites, selecting grave sites, selling coffins, urns and other essential funeral items.
It can be said that the Lu Group takes care of almost everything related to funerals.
In the words of the Lu family members, times have changed and their family must also make appropriate changes.
Tu Xingzhu listened quietly, and when he looked at Lu Nanxing again, his eyes changed.
I originally thought that she was just an ordinary worker like me, but who would have thought that she was actually a funeral princess.
Ordinary people might think this industry is unlucky. Even Lu Nanxing was often ostracized by his classmates when he was a child.
But Tu Xingzhu is not an ordinary person.
"If you had told me earlier that your family was so rich, I wouldn't have competed with you for five dollars for two sausages."
Tu Xingzhu said,
"Also, I spent a lot of money to build a road in the underworld, and you didn't even give me some sponsorship!"
In order to develop a magic circle to suppress Shu'e's evil thoughts as soon as possible and free Wuguan's soul from the evil cave, Tu Xingzhu has been going to the underworld many times during this period.
Although the King of Hell and Yi Zan both gave him a special pass, he could not avoid dealing with the ghosts and wandering souls underground.
Lu Nanxing glanced at him.
"You want to save money on paper money? I'll kill you!"
The two of them bickered as usual, and it was already dark when they finished their meal.
The seventh cousin drove the two of them to the village again, and Lu Nanxing said,
"This is the treatment you get now. When I was a kid, my seventh cousin drove a hearse to pick me up."
The seventh cousin said,
"It wasn't so strict before, but now the state has regulations that prohibit hearses from picking up people."
When he said the latter sentence, there was obviously some regret in his tone.
The road into the village was quite long, and the car was driving alone in the dark, giving off a somewhat eerie aura, but both Seventh Cousin and Lu Nanxing seemed to be used to it.
It was not until this moment that the seventh cousin asked Tu Xingzhu about the purpose of his visit in a casual manner.
I originally thought that I was coming with Nanxing to meet my parents, but it turned out not to be the case. Now that I am going to meet my great uncle, I naturally have to ask him.
Just listen to Tu Xingzhu's words,
"I've been researching a magic array recently, but the structure required to set up the array in the underworld is quite complicated, so I want to find some special materials."
For example, the thousand-year-old corpse soil.
