Chapter 297 People have mouths for speaking and asking questions
Western Yunnan is mountainous and covered with dense forests.
The people had just dug the tunnel, then used some methods to blast out the tomb chamber, and took out the tomb chamber materials that had been prepared long ago and assembled them on the spot. They were busy but not chaotic. They were very organized.
Qi Zhen, who could do nothing but dig the soil and could only stand in the pit and stare at Hu You and his group on the soil.
Qi Zhen looked at the person in front of him, and as he looked, he felt that the person's gaze on him was staying on him for a while.
The next moment, Hu You spoke, "Young Master, are you the new disciple of the Supreme Sect?"
Qi Zhen nodded, "Yes."
"It seems like there haven't been any new people on the Qingyun list recently." Hu You asked tentatively, "Or have you been on the Qingyun list for a long time?"
Qi Zhen's face froze, and he also tried to test it, "What does this Blue Cloud Ranking have to do with the Supreme Sect?"
"Hey, don't you know? Almost all the disciples of the Supreme Sect can make it to the Blue Cloud Ranking. Even if there are, they will be on the Chongxiao Ranking later. For example, the group of masters traveling with you this time were all famous figures who were once on the Blue Cloud Ranking."
As Hu You spoke, he probed, "How old are you this year, young master? Where are you from? What do you practice?"
Qi Zhen's expression became more and more unsightly. He thought that maybe the person in front of him was sent by Lin Du to test him?
He tried hard to recall his words, deeds and background when he entered the sect, and finally confirmed that everything was correct. The only anomaly might be that he was not on the Qingyun list?
Qi Zhen thought about it in his heart and realized that it was a wrong decision.
These evildoers from the Supreme Sect are really hard to deal with.
Underground, after the tomb was almost arranged, everyone placed the coffin in place, stopped working, and were discussing Qi Zhen's matter.
"This Qi Zhen is really kind-hearted." Lin Du lowered his eyes to make sure the formation had been set up, then turned on the switch.
"Junior brother is just working too hard!" Yuan Ye said, looking at Ni Jinxuan, "He keeps calling me Senior Sister all the time. Logically, Senior Brother Mo Lin takes care of him the most, so why is he always thinking about me?"
Ni Jinxuan tilted her head, "He said this before. He said that he grew up with his mother and he always felt close to me when he saw me. He didn't have any bad intentions."
Yuan Ye chuckled, "I was raised by my mother since I was a child. I can't see my father for ten days or half a month. How can I cling to my senior sister? At the beginning, I didn't even dare to talk to my junior uncle. Junior sister, listen to my advice. Men understand men best. Senior sister who is always talking nonsense has bad intentions!"
"And a man treats you like a mother and is close to you? Don't you think it's strange? He hasn't been weaned? He's seventeen! This shouldn't happen!" Yuan Ye clicked his tongue and shook his head, "If you really treat her like a mother, taking care of her food, drink and life-long affairs, then does he treat you like a mother and raise you and serve you?"
Yuan Ye shook his head more and more as he spoke, and Yan Qing followed suit. Even Jin Xuan was brainwashed, and her mind was filled with "Qi Zhen treats me as his mother."
Lin Du was very satisfied. The year he spent traveling in the mortal world was not in vain.
Hou Cang was acting as a background bodyguard seriously. Hearing this, he suddenly spoke up, "You seem to be very disgusted with him?"
"Yes, because he's not right." Lin Du turned his head and looked at Hou Cang, "Brother, you don't have to put yourself in his shoes. Although you were all picked up, it's not quite the same."
Hou Cang pursed his lips and said nothing.
Then Lin Du continued to ask, "Brother, do you want to know what's different?"
Hou Cang hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Brother, you were picked up by your uncle and brought back to the sect. Although I don't know what happened that day, maybe you were also isolated before you got to know him well? Is that why I feel sympathy for Qi Zhen?"
"No, I was not isolated by them. I was the one who isolated them unilaterally." Hou Cang thought for a moment and replied.
Lin Du sincerely sighed, "... You are indeed worthy of me, Senior Brother!"
"But your isolation of Qi Zhen reminds me of the days when I was isolated in the demon world before." Hou Cang thought for a while, "But unlike you, you don't say anything unpleasant, nor do you bully him. It's just that he doesn't fit in with you kids?"
It is not so much that Qi Zhen was isolated, but rather that the six of them cooperated so well with each other. They were like a complete team and no one could interfere.
"Brother, although I don't know what you've been like," Lin Du suddenly smiled, turned his head and looked at Hou Cang who was standing silently behind him, "but you don't like to ask questions, and you have to wait for others to ask you. This is not a good habit."
"I am so smart that I might know what you want to ask, but others may not be willing to think about it, or because their brain circuits are different, they may not be able to think of it."
“People have mouths for asking questions and communicating.”
"You always keep things to yourself and let others guess, then the relationship will become very tiring. If there is a problem, you should ask. Even if there is a real mistake, there is a process of going to court. After the death penalty is sentenced, the dynasty in the secular world will also go to the court to review whether there is a wrongful conviction. You always don't ask, just watch and listen, but is what you see and hear at the time true?"
Lin Du nodded to Hou Cang intentionally, and after he finished speaking, he returned to the original topic very smoothly. He had no intention of deliberately lecturing Hou Cang. He concealed Wei Zhi's judgment and told about the abnormality before Qi Zhen entered the sect.
"Of course you are different from him. Qi Zhen has too many strange things, so we have to be on guard. What do you think, Senior Brother?"
Hou Cang nodded upon hearing this, "Just keep it in mind."
After working for quite some time to equip the tomb, they turned back to fill it with soil, but they discovered a strange face outside.
Hu You was sweating profusely, grinning apologetically, but his brows drooped, crying and laughing at the same time, very weird, "Third Hall Master, why are you here?"
"I heard from the people at the brothel that you hadn't shown up for a day, so I tried to sense your location. I didn't expect that you were here to send your godfather to his death?"
The man wearing the ferocious bronze mask spoke, his voice casual and smiling, "Look at you, Old Hu is also an old man. We have known each other for so long, it would be unreasonable for me not to come and see you off."
The man's eyes fell on the group of people coming out of the tomb passage. Seeing that they were all wearing low-key but valuable robes, he asked, "What is this?"
"Hello, this is the one-stop funeral service team of Liangchen Chamber of Commerce. We can customize the funeral arrangements for yourself or your loved ones. We provide professional funeral services, from collecting the body, coffins, and cemeteries. Everything is handmade by masters. You don't have to worry about it. How is it? Do you need it?" Yuan Ye took out a business card made of a talisman. "If you need anything, please feel free to contact me."
The man froze for a moment, as if he wanted to curse, but Hu You spoke up in time, "Third Hall Master, they are the direct disciples of the Supreme Sect. This group is all of them. I didn't expect them to be them."
"What respectable sect would provide a one-stop funeral service?" The man was puzzled and his eyes fell on their waists.
The disciples of the noble families and sects in Zhongzhou always have tokens or family emblems on them. The purple gold token is indeed the unique token of the Supreme Sect's direct disciples.
Third Hall Master: ...
He silently reached out, took the talisman, and stuffed it into his storage bag.
After sealing the ground, erecting the stele, and Lin Du finally setting up the defensive and anti-theft formation, the Third Hall Master was truly convinced that Hu You was not fooling him.
These disciples are truly... a professional team, their techniques are skillful and professional.
He casually poured a glass of wine and poured it on him, "Well, Lao Hu, have a safe journey. You picked up a good son who is loyal and righteous."
After the Third Hall Master finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Hu You.
Even Mo Lin and Ni Jinxuan, who were not good at beating around the bush, vaguely felt that this person had bad intentions, and they spoke of loyalty and righteousness in a very serious and weird way.
Hu You gritted his teeth, clenched his fists under his wide sleeves, and shook violently.
He walked forward, met Lin Du's slightly suggestive gaze, and suddenly knelt down in front of the tombstone.
Hu You kowtowed three times on the ground, then trembled and said, "Father, I am timid. Before you died, you sent me a message to collect your body, but I didn't dare to go. I spent half a lifetime of savings to hire a professional team to collect your body and send you off. Everything was done with the best of everything, and I have done my best for you."
"But I have little ability, I just want to live a good life, I don't know how and why you died, people in our line of work are afraid of unnecessary trouble and meddling in other people's business."
"Your son is incompetent and can only see you off to the grave. I cannot avenge you or find out the truth. Today I have built a tombstone for you and kowtowed to you. Our relationship as father and son has come to an end. Rest in peace!"
It was clearly summer, with many insects chirping in the mountains and the lush green as dark as ink, but the sky was white and hazy, without even a trace of the sun.
The Third Hall Master stared at the hunched back and laughed, "Good boy, do your best. You are both loyal and filial. You are a good person."
Ni Jinxuan tugged at Lin Du's sleeve nervously, and Lin Du suddenly spoke, "Since there is no problem and the family has inspected it, then let's settle the balance and leave first?"
Hu You stood up tremblingly and immediately smiled apologetically, "Hey, I'm here."
Lin Du took the box, opened it and took a look. He nodded to Hu You, then smiled at the Third Hall Master who had been watching coldly from behind, "Third Hall Master, if you need one-stop service, please contact us at any time. We have various price ranges. We guarantee that your grave will not be dug up for at least 500 years, and your body will not be exposed to the wild."
"And Mr. Fox, if you need anything, feel free to contact us."
She smiled and cupped her hands, "We'll go first, and we'll meet again if we're lucky."
