Chapter 723 Letting Go of Obsession
One of the bald men almost burst into tears and couldn't help but say, "Boss Qin, we were forced to follow Tang Zhi back then! We really didn't mean to!"
“Yes!” Another person looked at Wan Qingzhou next to Qin Feng, looking miserable: “Master Wan, we joined the Tang Clan because of your reputation. Who knew that Tang Zhi, who appears to be a gentleman, is actually a bastard. We didn’t want to work for him anymore, but Tang Zhi controlled us with poison… We have elderly parents and young children to support, we really don’t have the courage…”
"yes……"
"That's right..."
The four or five people chatted amongst themselves, but seeing that Wan Qingzhou and Qin Feng remained silent, they were unsure of what to do and simply went to beg Kong Wange again: "Great Goddess Chanyi, save our lives!"
Seeing that they were all in tears, practically begging her to tear their hearts out, Kong Wange coughed lightly and said, "You don't need to beg me. If you really didn't do anything wrong, Master Qin and Master Wan... Master Wan won't do anything to you."
The group of people immediately turned to Qin Feng and Wan Qingzhou like puppies, saying, "We are just minor figures in the Tang family. We haven't done anything wrong, absolutely nothing wrong!"
Qin Feng remained silent not because he intended to do anything to them, but simply to give them a nudge.
Seeing them all pledge their loyalty at once, he curled his lips and glanced at Wan Qingzhou beside him.
Wan Qingzhou glanced at the coffin and then turned his head away.
Qin Feng's lips curled up even higher: "Don't worry, as long as you behave well, the Great God of Cicada Robes will definitely cure you of the poison."
The group looked at each other, then immediately said hastily, "We'll listen, we'll definitely listen!"
Qin Feng nodded: "In that case, go and open that coffin."
"Huh?!" The bald man was dumbfounded.
Qin Feng glanced at him: "What, can't you understand?"
"Yes! Absolutely!!" The bald man quickly called to the people behind him, "Everyone, come quick!"
The group snapped out of their daze and quickly followed.
You can tell how heavy the coffin is just by looking at it; the group had already exhausted themselves getting this far.
Qin Feng had no intention of causing his kids any more trouble, so he turned his attention to Tang Zhi and his men.
Well, I have to say, these five people are pretty savvy.
"Come on, one, two, three!"
"one two three!"
It took five people a lot of effort to move the coffin lid even a little bit.
The group had anticipated that the coffin would be heavy, but they hadn't expected it to be this heavy.
A moment later, he came out with a mournful face: "Master Qin... this coffin..."
"What? You guys aren't good enough?" Qin Feng retorted.
The five people immediately fell silent.
If they can't even move a coffin lid, what can they do? How can anyone give them an antidote?!
Thinking about it that way, the bald man immediately changed his tune: "This coffin isn't heavy at all! We can move it easily!"
Qin Feng nodded: "Okay, then good luck."
Encouraged, the bald man immediately replied, "Alright!"
The command "One, two, three" rang out again immediately.
Kong Wange was speechless. She leaned closer to Qin Feng and Wan Qingzhou and said, "Don't you guys think these guys are a bit silly?"
"It's precisely because he's foolish that he's survived until now," Wan Qingzhou said calmly.
Kong Wange nodded: "That's true."
They say fools are lucky, and these people are the best example of that.
After all, none of Tang Zhi's capable subordinates survived.
...
After an unknown amount of time, with a loud "bang," the coffin lid was completely overturned and fell to the ground.
The five people were drenched in sweat and collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.
"Master Qin, it's open... it's open." The bald man said, panting.
Qin Feng nodded perfunctorily: "Yeah, not bad!"
The bald man instantly revealed a slightly goofy smile, feeling all his fatigue swept away by the encouragement!
As soon as the coffin was opened, Qin Feng, Kong Wange, and Wan Qingzhou rushed over.
The body inside the coffin was already rotten, leaving only a pile of bones.
In the middle of the skeleton, there was a small box placed on a few finger joints.
The box looks very exquisite and even has a clasp mechanism.
Kong Wange, Wan Qingzhou, and Qin Feng exchanged glances, and in the end, Wan Qingzhou pushed them back a little: "I'll take it."
If there are any hidden mechanisms involved, he certainly needs to be more certain about them.
Kong Wange and Qin Feng wisely took a half step back.
Wan Qingzhou held her breath and slowly reached out her hand towards the small box...
The moment the small box was picked up, the air seemed to freeze, and no one dared to speak.
Firstly, they were uneasy because they were unsure whether the small box truly contained the miraculous medicine; secondly, they were afraid that there might be some hidden traps.
Only after the box was picked up and Wan Qingzhou took a step back did the breathing around her return to normal.
After receiving it, everyone was incredulous and looked at each other in disbelief—it was so easy to get it, making all their previous experiences seem like a joke.
After a long pause, Wan Qingzhou made the decision: "Since we've already got it, let's not be suspicious. Let's open it and take a look."
Kong Wange and Qin Feng both agreed.
Instead of hesitating and speculating, why not open it and take a look?
Whether it's true or false, you'll know once you see it.
So, Wan Qingzhou gently activated the small mechanism on the box.
The lid of the box popped open, revealing a white pill.
Kong Wange's breathing quickened involuntarily: "This... must really be a miracle drug, right?"
Wan Qingzhou hummed in agreement: "I suppose so."
Qin Feng suddenly said, "There are words here."
Kong Wange and Wan Qingzhou looked over and, sure enough, there was a line of words engraved inside the lid of the box.
There were several large, flamboyant characters written on it: "The divine medicine cannot save my body, so it is better to sleep with me forever."
Everyone: "..."
For a moment, they were all speechless at these words.
"What does this mean? The medicine isn't working?" Kong Wange asked tentatively.
I initially thought this medicine was quite mysterious, but with this word attached, it gives off a strong vibe of a charlatan.
Qin Feng coughed lightly: "Perhaps the ancestors wanted too much, such as immortality and resurrection. It's not necessarily true that the medicine wouldn't work on Murong Ting."
Wan Qingzhou listened to the words "bringing the dead back to life" without saying a word for a long time.
Kong Wange nodded and looked at Wan Qingzhou: "You're not still thinking about reviving Mother, are you?"
Wan Qingzhou pursed her lips and remained silent.
Kong Wange took the box directly from his hand, slammed it shut, and looked at him: "The dead cannot be brought back to life. This is the law of the universe, the law of nature. Don't let your obsession blind you."
Wan Qingzhou remained silent for a while, then finally reached out and rubbed his face before saying in a deep voice, "You're right, I'm just unwilling to accept it."
The thought that has sustained him all these years is the desire to revive Zhiyi.
Even though he knew the idea was somewhat absurd.
But what if...?
But now, facing the wary gaze of his own daughter, it seems he has to nip this possibility in the bud himself.
Kong Wange looked at his hunched back, and after a long while reached out and stroked his back: "If possible, I also hope that Mother can live, but we all know that it is impossible. Dad, Mother has been gone for more than 20 years. You should look forward. You still have me."
Wan Qingzhou's expression shifted slightly, and after a long pause, she nodded: "Take the medicine and go save the person you want to save."
