Qi Ling was dragged by Wu Nong to take a short cut, and when he finally stopped, the two had already reached the front of the funeral procession.

Qi Ling was a little out of breath from running, he tore off the mask he found on the road just now, and said angrily: "This sword is deadly! Did you plan early in the morning to let me run with it?"

Wu Nong also covered his mouth and nose with cloth strips, did not speak, and gave him a faint look.

Qi Ling only saw his eyes, and he hugged the wooden sword obediently and remained silent.

The two hid around the corner, Qi Ling poked his head out to see the team.

The paper money was blown all over the sky by the wind, and the moonlight shone coldly, mixed with mournful cries.

Qi Ling shuddered, and then saw a few people wearing monk uniforms in front of the team, and asked suspiciously: "The people of Xuntang reject cultivators, why are they still looking for them when they go out for funerals?"

Wu Nong was silent and did not speak.

"And Li Da..." Qi Ling saw a man and a woman crying behind those monks, who presumably should be Li Da's parents, "Looking at their clothes, the conditions are not very good, how can we afford to hire them?" A monk protector? That coffin seems to be worth a lot."

Where did they get the money?

"Go and explore." Wu Nong said suddenly.

"Ah?" Qi Ling was stunned for a moment, "How can I find out?"

"I'll help you." Wu Nong pushed Qi Ling behind him, and after speaking, he rushed out, materialized his spiritual power, and formed a chain to attack the coffin.

Seeing this, the monks drew their swords almost instantly, blocking the chains that were about to touch the coffin.

Looking at the enchantment on the coffin that was shattered by the blow of the chain, their expressions changed suddenly, and they raised their swords and pointed at the opening in front, and said coldly: "Who is behind?!"

Seeing this situation, Da Li's parents panicked.

They are just ordinary people, and they have no grievances or enmities with anyone on weekdays, so how could anyone fall in love with them?

The team stagnated in place. No one expected this change. They thought it was superfluous to invite monks, but they really came in handy.

Seeing the reactions of those people, Qi Ling whispered, "Why do you startle the snake?"

"This way you can sneak in." Wu Nong lifted up the strip of cloth that Qi Ling took off, "You have to take it with you, so as not to be recognized and unnecessary trouble."

Just now the target of the chains emitting a strange red light was Li Da's corpse. The leading monk frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, and said to the few monks behind: "Protect the coffin."

After the words fell, another new chain struck from around the corner. The target was obviously Li Da's body.The chains circled the monks for a while, consuming most of their strength, and when their movements slowed down, they were wrapped around the coffin.

Seeing this, those monks also understood that the chains had been playing with them.

In an instant, the coffin was chained and suspended in the air, glowing strangely red under the moonlight.

Li Da's parents cried and shouted: "My son! My son! Let my son down quickly..."

Qi Ling witnessed the whole process: "Why are you tying up a coffin? The coffin is so big."

Wu Nong ignored him, tied the coffin and threw it towards the other side, and led those monks away by himself, leaving Qi Ling alone.

Qi Ling: "..."

This scene seemed familiar.

The plum blossom crisps in my arms are still warm.

Most of the monks were lured away by Wu Nong, and Qi Ling saw that there were only two people left to protect Da Li's parents.

"Who is there!"

Qi Ling was startled holding the wooden sword, thinking that the two monks were talking about him, but after waiting for a long time, he heard the movement on the other side getting smaller and smaller.He couldn't help taking a peek, only to see the two monks leaving the group behind and chasing in the opposite direction.

Qi Ling: "..."

He thought in his heart that if someone with malicious intentions attacked Li Da's parents, wouldn't it be a sign of their monks?No wonder people here don't like to see monks, I'm afraid they often encounter such unreliable people.

On the other side, Li Da's parents saw that the last two monks had also left, and they couldn't help but get scared in this silent night.

Before the paper money was scattered, the wind was strong and it was blown wildly, making the sound of paper falling to the ground, some of which had not yet been blown into the river, and became more lifeless against the sparkling river water.

Da Li's parents prayed to grab something to protect themselves, and in a hurry, they saw the white clothes around the corner.

The monks they invited today also wore white clothes, and the night was dark, so they didn't care so much.

Qi Ling was still waiting for news from Wu Nong, when he heard Da Li's parents catching up behind him: "Xianjun! Xianjun!"

Qi Ling: "?"

Before he could turn around, Da Li's parents appeared in front of him first.

"Why is Xianjun... wearing something to cover his face?"

Holding the wooden sword, Qi Ling gave a dry laugh, immediately realized that they had identified the wrong person, and hurriedly said: "This...don't reveal your identity easily."

"Oh..." Da Li's parents didn't care about this the most, they just heard it casually, and asked again: "Xianjun, where is our son! Where is Da Li?!"

"..." Qi Ling was stunned for a moment, and then said according to circumstances: "The rest of you are going to chase, I'm here to protect you, don't worry, Li Da's body will be sent back intact within a moment."

"This..." After all, it was his own son who was taken away. Da Li's parents were obviously not at ease at all. After looking at each other, the couple realized that there was nothing they could do. They could only listen to Xianjun first, and wait patiently.

After all, they are all monks from the Yang family, so their skills should not be too bad.

The night was dark, Qi Ling could only accompany Li Da's parents and wait for their son to come back.

While bored, Qi Ling thought of a way to say something.

It turned out that the money for their funeral came from the Shen family.

Li Da's parents are old and have children. At Li Da's current age, his parents are already old and their eyesight is poor, and picking tea leaves requires good eyesight, so few people are willing to hire Li Da's parents.The source of livelihood of the family of three depends entirely on Li Dayi.

Li Da has worked in the Shen family for many years and has always been diligent and diligent. The Shen family is also very happy, knowing the situation of his family, and has always cared for him.That's how it was, even though tea deliverers drowned and various rumors began to spread in the past few months, Li Da did not leave the Shen family.

The Patriarch of the Shen family, Shen Wan, and Da Li's parents thought of the hardships of life and Shen Wan's help to them when they talked about him, with tears in their eyes.

"Patriarch Shen is really a good person. He gave each family a good amount of money to those employees who drowned, and asked them to arrange the funeral well..." Li's mother wiped her tears, because she was a little out of breath because of her sobs.

Qi Ling was silent for a while, then said: "Most of the dead employees belonged to the Shen family?"

Hearing this, Mother Li didn't understand what he meant by asking, so she just nodded.

Qi Ling stopped talking again.

Father Li lightly patted Mother Li on the back to comfort her. Seeing Qi Ling's puzzled look, he explained: "The Shen family is the biggest tea merchant in Xuntang."

In other words, it is not surprising that their family has the largest number of employees and the most deaths.

"Xianjun, how could you not know that the Shen family is the biggest businessman..." Father Li faltered as he spoke, as if he was afraid of offending Qi Ling's Nilin by saying something, "The Yang family and them should be the most It's too familiar..."

Qi Ling was stunned for a moment, the Yang family?

The people invited by Da Li's parents are the Yang family?

He knew that Yang Pingzhu and Shen Changzhou were both from Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and the last winter test also showed that the two of them should know each other, and the relationship is not good.

Qi Ling didn't speak for a long time, Father Li thought he had said something wrong, so he closed his mouth and kept silent.

Qi Ling could tell from his expression that his guess was right.

But... the Moli sword on Shen Changzhou's body is not an ordinary sword at first glance. If the Shen family is just a tea merchant, how could there be such a thing?

Shen Changzhou didn't look like he was born as a tea merchant.

Continuing to say these words will make Da Li's parents suspicious, and it's not easy for Qi Ling to ask further questions.

Everyone waited in place for nearly a stick of incense, but Li Da's parents still couldn't sit still, and got up to find their son.Qi Ling also stood up and stopped in front of them: "Don't worry, just wait..."

"Xianjun! We can't wait..." Da Li's parents suddenly changed their expressions, pointing to the sky behind Qi Ling: "Xianjun, what is that?"

"Huh?" Qi Ling turned around, and because of the darkness, he only saw a black object falling from the sky, and before he could see what it was, the object fell on Qi Ling's body.

Da Li's parents took a few steps back in fright. Qi Ling was in pain from being hit, and he didn't get up for a while, only feeling something hard pressing on him.

"Ahhh-!"

Qi Ling's scalp went numb, and before he opened his eyes to see what was pressing him, he heard Li Da's mother yell.

"son--!!"

Qi Ling: ... Son?

Li Da? ! !

Hearing this, he looked at the moonlight and took a closer look at the face that was beating him.

Qi Ling: "..."

"Xianjun, get up! Lift up my son!"

Qi Ling was still on the spot, if you looked carefully, you could find that his body was shaking.

Qi Ling didn't dare to move, until finally Li Da's parents lifted their son up, his whole body was still stiff.

"Xianjun, as expected, what you said is correct, my son... my son has come back by himself." When Li Da's parents saw their son's body, they cried again, "We will always remember Xianjun's kindness!"

Qi Ling forced a smile on the corner of his mouth stiffly, his mind was still endlessly looping over that pale face just now: "..."

"It's fine...it's fine..."

Qi Ling knew that Wu Nong's strength was far superior to those monks, and it was impossible for them to get Li Da's body back. It was impossible for Qi Ling to "return" the body in such a way. I understand, this matter is definitely something that Wu Nong can do.

He was afraid of ghosts rather than corpses, but this corpse suddenly fell from the sky...

He clenched his hands in his sleeves and got up to leave.

"Hey, how did you go, Xianjun?" Mother Li asked.

Qi Ling: "...you wait here, they should be back soon."

The fact that Wu Nong was able to return the body meant that the matter was over, and those Yang family monks would be in trouble if they recognized that he was not from the Yang family when they came back.

Li Da's parents took back their son's body, and they didn't dare to obstruct Xianjun's work, so they had to wait on the spot according to his words.

Qi Ling left there, as soon as he turned into the alley, a black shadow flashed in front of him and brought up a gust of wind, and then he was pressed against the wall.

Wu Nong looked at the faint mist in his eyes, and smiled lightly in his eyes: "Scared?"
