Pork Butcher - C54
We stayed in the Xinyang City for another two days. In these two days, we didn’t go anywhere else but to pay attention to the matter of the mausoleum, but as we expected, there was no news at all, as if the huge fire from that day didn’t exist. No one discussed it, nor did anyone pay attention to it.
In fact, if we want to kill the person behind the scenes, we can definitely force them to show themselves now. But we did not do so, because if we were to tell them the truth, without any hostility, we would probably harm them if we were to burn that corpse. If we were to continue like this, it would be morally unjustifiable.
Sun Yong planned to roam around the continent for a period of time, so he naturally had to talk about the rules of the martial arts world and its principles. If he did not even talk about this, it would be difficult to survive, especially when interacting with his peers.
On the third day, we took a plane back to that small town in Jiang-Nan and told Uncle about the entire matter.
“Xiao Yang, it’s your first time doing this, so it’s normal for you to make some small mistakes. You’ve already done very well. Come, tell me, how did you feel about going to the north?” Uncle said to me.
“Perception? I don’t know what to say about this matter, but I’m a bit surprised about An Xin being carried away by a ghost, because I feel that it shouldn’t be done this way. If it was in the countryside, no one would dare to do such a thing, not to mention superstitions and the like. This is a basic moral standard, so I feel that this is a very deceitful feeling,” I replied.
It’s hard to say, but I feel that An Xin is being cheated because of this. This isn’t to say that she is innocent, but rather that she shouldn’t be. It’s just that a mature adult makes a mistake that only a three year old child would make.
“Oh, then why do you think it’s like this?” Uncle asked again.
As you know, the main idea is to believe in science and to oppose feudal superstition, so many people still don’t believe in the things left behind by these ancestors, unlike foreign countries, although they don’t advocate it, but they don’t prohibit it either. If you include An Xin’s parents and uncles, they all deal with technology, so she doesn’t believe it, so she doesn’t think much about it.
“Oh, so there’s a problem with the Feng Shui of the mausoleum. Why haven’t you gone to study it?” The Uncle said again.
I didn’t know why he would focus all of his attention on this place. Glancing at Sun Yong, I realised that he had an ugly expression on his face, and a look of hesitation could be seen in his eyes.
I wanted to give Sun Yong a look, tell him, hide it from him, but I didn’t expect him to have already made a decision. Gritting my teeth, I said to the Uncle: “Grandfather, I’m sorry, this was all my attention.
Forget it, Sun Yong was really a good boy in front of Uncle. Uncle had only come to investigate a little, but he had already told him everything in detail, and did not even let go of his expectations.
The more Uncle heard, the more serious his expression became. In the end, his face became as black as the bottom of a pot.
“You, you, ah, young and arrogant, truly do not know the limits of heaven and earth,” Uncle said with a long sigh.
“What’s wrong, Uncle, is the problem big?” I hurriedly asked. From Uncle’s expression, it seemed that he wasn’t simple at all.
“The problem is getting bigger. Do you know how dangerous you were a few days ago? You almost didn’t come back,” Uncle said sternly.
Sun Yong and I looked at each other, not feeling that it was dangerous at all.
“I know you guys don’t feel it and aren’t convinced, but think about it, who would dare to raise corpses in so many people’s mausoleum, and who would not be discovered by the Feng Shui Masters over there?” The Uncle asked again.
“Local people, and powerful local people, most likely the boss of the mausoleum company, because that way there won’t be any problem for Feng Shui to report about it.” I replied immediately.
“Yes, the greatest possibility is them, but have you thought about what he wants with that corpse farm? Even if we don’t know his goal, it must be very important, right? After you burn him down, won’t he investigate his revenge?” “Only because of your luck, you stayed there for two more days and did not leave immediately. Otherwise, you would have long been targeted by others, and might even be beaten to death by now,” Uncle replied.
The Uncle’s words surprised us, we didn’t think about it at all, if that person had so much power in the city, he would have the ability to stop and monitor us at all traffic crossroads that day, and if we left that night, it would be easy for them to take us as guilty, and investigate us thoroughly, it would be really troublesome.
“Then what do we do now? At that time, we didn’t seem to have finished either …” I immediately asked, because I remembered that we did things very casually during Xinyang and didn’t even bother to end it.
“I know, so I can’t stay here anymore. Let’s move out tomorrow,” Uncle said indifferently.
“Ah!” I cried out. Was it that serious?
“Grandfather, I don’t understand why we should be afraid of them. Although this matter was started by us, it is evil, but he is wrong, the majority of the undead in the mausoleum area would be uneasy, and the ghosts that gathered here have even turned the place into a ghost den. Although An Xin had her reasons this time, but as for the others, if they don’t destroy it, then how many people will die there? Zhou Yang, you should have noticed that the mausoleum area was not guarded at night, why not be surprised, it should be because they were scared, so no one would be willing to pay for a watch at night.”
From a personal perspective, it was his fault for doing this. But, in terms of righteousness, he was wrong, because this was to eliminate all harm for the sake of the people, who would want their family to die in a state of chaos? Who would have thought that they would lose their lives because of a certain smile?
“Of course, you did not do anything wrong in this matter. However, it is also not wrong for them to seek revenge on us, so if we were to go all out against them, it would be too foolish and too unwise. They are hiding in the dark, we are in the light, if there really is a conflict, we are too passive,” Uncle said.
After hearing it, Sun Yong’s eyes lit up, and said: “Grandfather means that we should withdraw first, and then we should arrange some people to see who is investigating us, to switch roles, and to let them become in the light, and us in the shadows?”
Uncle looked at Sun Yong like a child who could be taught, I secretly exclaimed in my heart, this Jiang Yu is really old and spicy, the Uncle had only used a few methods and managed to save us from our predicament, as long as we are in the shadows, then the initiative will be in our hands, regardless of fighting or running, we can choose.
After agreeing to this plan, Uncle once again told us about the corpse rearing grounds. It is not easy to obtain a corpse rearing ground, even in the history of the place, it is rare to see a corpse rearing ground, once it appears, it is the main sect’s first target to be destroyed, so Uncle had never seen it before, he had only read about it in the records.
The location to reproduce corpses and gather Yin energy was actually similar to the Feng Shui terrain, the main thing was that this kind of terrain was very special, the Yin Qi would gather in the ground and not disperse, and would slowly attract the wandering souls, and the wandering souls would bring back the Yin Qi’s body to the terrain, creating a cycle. And this kind of terrain, if used to reclaim corpses, perhaps a very terrifying existence would appear, so these were prohibited by the various powerful sects, even the common sects would oppose it.
After saying that, they each went to rest. As for where they were going to move to, no matter what, that was something for the life assistant to consider.
On the second day, the Uncle visited his many friends in the town one by one and said goodbye to them one by one, saying that Sun Yong’s injuries were pretty much healed and he should be leaving soon. Then, under the witness of An Hai and the other friends from the Uncle, we left the town.
Xinyang, in a luxurious office, sat a white-haired old man on a mahogany chair. He narrowed his eyes, played with a walnut with one hand, and then extended his other hand.
Knock, knock. Not long after, a young man knocked on the door and entered the room. He said, “Sir, the investigation is complete. Before the incident, there was a girl called An Xin who was entangled by a little kid in the cemetery. It was them who invited the mages back from the south. Their suspicions are clear.”
“The Ghostly Body, where the hell are the Yin Qi? They can’t even go there to cause so much trouble, so why would they need to absorb the human aura? “What’s the reason?” The old man asked in surprise.
“About that … It was said that the girl called An Xin had a stomachache, so she went to the toilet on that guy’s grave. That’s why she got wrapped up in it.” The young man replied.
“Haha, such a rash young man is rarely seen!” The old man laughed loudly.
“Yes, yes. Now that they’ve returned to the south, we temporarily found out that they’re in a healing town.” The young man said with a smile.
“Healing town, hmph, it seems that they don’t lack money. No wonder they dare to mess with me for no reason and burn my things, that’s even better, find them and let them compensate. When we get the money, give them the money to buy their graves, and the healing town will become their death town.” The old man said darkly.
“Yes, I understand. I’ll head to the south to settle this,” the young man quickly said and left the office.
He began to pray for the two young men, saying that what was so good about them? It’s not easy to learn some skills at a young age, but with your ability, it’s not right to burn other people’s things for no reason. He knew how important the things buried in the mausoleum were to the person inside.
“Hey, Dong Zi, find a few people and follow me to the south. Then investigate these people for me. The one with the surname An, yes, that’s right …” Then, he picked up the phone, dialed the number, and slowly walked away.
