Chapter 59: Digging a Grave

In the Kingdom of Rune, there is an organization called the "War Cemetery Committee". Many civil servants who have failed in the struggle will be assigned to "important positions" in this organization after being marginalized. Its significance is similar to that of the previous dynasty, when the great eunuch who was the chief eunuch of the ceremonial department was assigned to guard the imperial mausoleum.

Is there any similar organization in Daomen?

Yes, that is the Requiem Division under the name of the Ancestral Hall.

A place that governs the dead is always a place of frustration for the living.

Many Taoist priests were buried in this place after their death, and Qi Haoran was no exception.

So Qiniang's prediction was very accurate. Qi Xuansu went straight to this place after hitting the wall twice.

It was already midnight when Qi Xuansu arrived at Requiem Division.

"Master Qi! Hey, Chief Qi!" The Taoist priest in charge of the Requiem Department woke up from his sleep. At this time, he was only wearing a Taoist robe and chased Qi Xuansu who was walking alone towards the long stone steps. "There is no such rule. In the end, At least you have to say hello to the real person in charge..."

Qi Xuansu turned a deaf ear and strode forward.

The Taoist priest in charge could only lead a group of people to follow Qi Xuansu's footsteps. "No matter what, you have to say hello to the hall. Even if you are a deputy hall master, the master of the hall is your old boss. The hall can still stop you." You can’t?”??

Qi Xuansu suddenly stopped and turned around, "I don't want to make this matter a problem in the whole city, so just treat it as a favor and pretend that you have never seen me. I will have my own thoughts in the future."

"This, this..." The Taoist priest in charge was a little unsure, and finally refused, "It really goes against human ethics. I can't afford to suffer. I hope Master Qi can forgive me."

Qi Xuansu stopped talking and continued to turn around and move forward.

The advantage of being a powerful local faction is that they can call the shots in their own one-third of an acre, and they are more powerful than many people at the same level. However, it is not so easy to do so after leaving their own territory, especially after arriving in Yujing. If Qi Xuansu was the chief deputy hall master, this would never be the case.

The Taoist priest in charge had been assigned to a place like this, and he no longer cared about his future. Seeing that Qi Xuansu wanted to force his way in, he directly said, "Since Master Qi has not obtained permission from the hall, I cannot let you go."

Qi Xuansu stopped again and said patiently, "Whatever the guilt is, it is all my responsibility and has nothing to do with you."

The Taoist priest in charge still said, "Zhenren Qi is in a high position, who dares to ask you about your guilt? Doesn't the final responsibility fall on the heads of those of us below?"

Qi Xuansu took a deep breath and felt that he could no longer suppress his emotions, but he still managed to squeeze out a smile. "In that case, come over here and I will give you a letter. That's all."

The Taoist priest in charge was a little hesitant, but it was not good

This was too much, so he also showed a smile and walked over, "Master Qi doesn't need to establish a written document, and I don't mean to contradict Master Qi. It's just that Master Qi can go to the hall to say hello, which is sympathizing with me..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Xuansu had already reached out to stop him. "Okay, now I am the one who forced my way in. You have tried your best. If you can't stop me, you have no responsibility. This is always enough."

After saying that, Qi Xuansu looked at the others, "My patience is limited. If any of you still want to stop me, don't blame me for not being measured!"

This time Qi Xuansu didn't follow the rules. In normal times, Qi Xuansu would never act like this, but now Qi Xuansu can no longer care about it.

Seeing this situation, the others dared to stop him and stood still.

Qi Xuansu then turned around and continued to move forward. The bright moonlight shone into the lush mountains and made it hazy. The light of some lights was as weak as fireflies between the unobstructed sky and earth. Everything seemed so unreal.

Qi Xuansu walked straight to the cemetery without stopping for a moment.

These people looked at Qi Xuansu's retreating figure, still standing where they were, unable to advance or retreat. Although Chief Qi was quite kind and did not let them take responsibility and shouldered the responsibility with all his strength, they could not just go back to sleep with peace of mind, not to mention that their boss was still standing here.

I don't know what method Qi Xuansu used. The Taoist priest in charge just stood still. Only his eyeballs could move, but he couldn't speak. At this time, his eyes were moving around, and there was nothing the others could do.

I don't know how much time passed like this, but someone came over again, three women, Zhang Yuelu, Xu Jiaorong, and Lei Xiaohuan.

These people don't recognize Xu Jiaorong. After all, Xu Jiaorong has always been in the local Taoist government. But they recognize Zhang Yuelu and Lei Xiaohuan. Needless to say, Zhang Yuelu is the legendary Zhang Yuelu. There are very few people who don't recognize him. Lei Xiaohuan used to She was also in Yujing. The key is that her appearance is so outstanding that once you see her once, you will never forget her.

Without saying a word, Zhang Yuelu directly unlocked the Taoist priest in charge.

The Taoist priest in charge also knew the relationship between Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu. When he saw Zhang Yuelu, he felt as if he had met his biological mother. He immediately began to complain and complain, "Second Xi Zhang, you are finally here. Chief Qi didn't know what happened today, so he rushed inside in a daze. , we can't stop it no matter what..."

Zhang Yuelu raised his hand, interrupted the Taoist priest in charge's complaint, and asked directly, "Where is Chief Qi?"

"Going to the cemetery." The Taoist priest in charge replied.

Zhang Yuelu walked away.

How could the Taoist priest in charge dare to stop him at this time? And it was obvious that Cixi Zhang was rushing to stop Chief Qi.

Xu Jiaorong was careful and deliberately stayed one step behind, and said, "Don't let any news about tonight's events, otherwise..."

Needless to say, the Taoist priest in charge had already understood and hurriedly said, "Nothing happened tonight."

Others also echoed, "Yes, nothing happened tonight." ??

Looking at this situation, I don't know what happened to Chief Qi, and his behavior is abnormal. Deputy Zhang rushed over again, and brought two helpers, both of whom are the chief and deputy. Under normal circumstances, it is a bit like catching an adulterer. But from the reactions of these people, it seems more like they are afraid that Chief Qi will commit suicide!

Strange, really strange.

But this kind of situation also shows that they can't get involved casually. It's better to stay away from it, otherwise the gods will fight and the mortals will suffer. If they know things that they shouldn't know, then it will be a big deal.

After Zhang Yuelu received the notice from Qi Niang, she wanted to rush to the Soul Requiem in advance, but she was in the joint meeting and couldn't ask for leave, because asking for leave requires a reason. She didn't want to make a big fuss about Qi Xuansu and let everyone know.

So Zhang Yuelu could only wait patiently for the meeting to end. This kind of meeting lasted for several days and would last until midnight every day. When the meeting was over, Zhang Yuelu was afraid that she would not be able to control the situation alone, so she called Xu Jiaorong and Lei Xiaohuan. Both of them were reliable and could be considered allies. Moreover, it was impossible to rely on Qi Xuansu alone to solve this matter. She still had to rely on friends, and she had to talk about it sooner or later.

On the way to the Soul Restoration Department, Zhang Yuelu also roughly told the story of what happened, but she concealed the Lingshan Cave Heaven that she was not very clear about. She only said that Qi Xuansu was a little abnormal, suddenly came out of retreat, and then ran to the Soul Restoration Department alone without making a sound. She was afraid that Qi Xuansu would have an accident.

At this time, Xu Jiaorong and Lei Xiaohuan thought that Qi Xuansu was mentally ill due to being possessed by demons, and did not think too much.

Zhang Yuelu knew the location of Qi Haoran's tomb and rushed all the way, but she was still a step late.

When she arrived, she saw a figure turning something from a distance, as if digging the ground.

Zhang Yuelu's heart tightened, and she slowed down her pace and walked over.

The figure was Qi Xuansu, and he was indeed digging the ground. Strictly speaking, he was digging a grave.

That's why the Taoist priests of the Requiem Department tried to stop him, shouting that it was against human ethics and etiquette.

This kind of thing really has a bad influence.

"Tianyuan."

Zhang Yuelu came behind Qi Xuansu and called him softly.

Qi Xuansu just paused for a moment, and then continued to dig the grave.

A little later, Lei Xiaohuan and Xu Jiaorong also arrived. Seeing this scene, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Lei Xiaohuan glanced and saw the name on the tombstone. The three words "Qi Haoran" made her heart sink.

The master and apprentice are like father and son. Qi Xuansu suddenly came to dig the master's grave. Once it was spread out, the bad influence would be more serious than messing around with women.

No wonder Zhang Yuelu said that Qi Xuansu was mentally ill now.

How could a normal person do such a thing?

The two looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know what to do to be the safest, and they all looked at Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu hesitated again and again, and signaled the two not to act rashly for the time being, or to see what Qi Xuansu was going to do.

After a while, Qi Xuansu had opened the entire tomb, and then he carried out a stone coffin from it alone.

Until then, Zhang Yuelu whispered, "Tianyuan, do you want to open the coffin for an autopsy?"

Perhaps after the experience of digging the grave, Qi Xuansu's mood calmed down a little, and finally responded, "Yes, I want to see what the mystery is here."

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"

Qi Xuansu fell into silence, and after a while he replied, "Qingxiao, if you suddenly find out that your first half of your life is actually a play, and someone you care about is actually fake, what would you think?"

Zhang Yuelu was stunned, not knowing how to answer, and thinking of Qi Niang's words, he already had a bad guess.

Qi Xuansu didn't say anything, but looked at the stone coffin carefully.

There are four strange iron nails nailed at the four corners of the coffin, which not only seal the coffin, but also isolate the inside and outside, making it impossible to use the divine mind to explore the situation inside the coffin, and the coffin must be opened.

Zhang Yuelu did not stop Qi Xuansu, nor did he stop Xu Jiaorong and Lei Xiaohuan.

Qi Xuansu pulled out the iron nails at the four corners with his bare hands, then gathered his strength and pushed the lid of the stone coffin with both hands.

The stone coffin was made of unknown materials and was very heavy. With a rumbling sound, the coffin was opened.

The expression on Qi Xuansu's face first gradually solidified, as if he had originally had a fantasy, but at this time even this trace of luck was extinguished, and then it became like crying and laughing, extremely complicated.

Zhang Yuelu also stepped forward to take a look.

There was only an empty coffin.
