Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 38 You Don't Belong Here
After leaving the ancestral hall, Xue Fan returned home with a big laugh. In his eyes now, the place where he had lived for twenty-three years seemed so strange and ridiculous.

Ignoring his father's objections, he immediately packed up a few of his clothes and left without even taking any money. As he said, his grandfather was gone, so there was no need for him to stay here any longer.

"Hatani! Hatani! Where are you going?!"

After all, Xue's father was a man who cared a lot about his reputation, and he couldn't bring himself to ask him to stay. He just sneered and became even more determined.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw the "soul-guiding banner" he had carried for the funeral today discarded on the side of the road. Thinking of his grandfather, he simply picked up the banner, put it on his shoulder, and then strode towards the village entrance.

Just arrived at the entrance of the village...

"Dad! Why did you just leave like this? Ahhhhhh!"

"Grandpa, please walk slower. I want to talk to you again!"

A familiar yet unfamiliar crying sound suddenly reached his ears, causing Xue Fan to stop and turn around to look.

"Mr. Wang is gone too..."

He whispered to himself, and then an idea came to him.

"The old man has been very kind to me since I was a child. Since he doesn't plan to come back, I might as well kowtow to him and burn some incense."

Besides, everyone said he was "wrong", and he wanted to take another look and confirm what was "right"...

Is it “right” because everyone does it?

So Xue Fan walked straight into the Wang family's courtyard. They were all from the same village and knew each other. In addition, his reputation of being "unfilial" had not yet spread, so naturally no one stopped him.

Walking to the mourning hall and looking at the black-and-white photo of Mr. Wang, he put down what he was holding and knelt on the mat, holding three incense sticks in his hands. He silently thought about how good the old man had been to him in the past, and prepared to send the old man off with all his heart.

however……

“Dad——!”

Just as he began to meditate, his thoughts were interrupted by deafening cries. His arrival made the people around him pause for a moment, but because of the appearance of this outsider, everyone worked even harder!

“Dad——!”

“Grandpa——!”

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Hearing these cries, Xue Fan's face immediately darkened. He actually didn't understand these guys, but one word popped up in his mind - "fake"!
It's so fucking fake!
"..."

Giving up the idea of ​​meditation, he stood up, inserted the incense into the incense burner, then bent down and picked up the bundle and soul-guiding flag on the ground.

And then...

"Pfft-"

His cheeks puffed up and he could no longer hold back his laughter. In front of everyone, he burst into laughter:
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Xue Fan's laughter was so loud that it even drowned out the wailing sounds, leaving everyone stunned and looking at him.

The next second, everyone around him immediately blushed and glared at him. It was no wonder, as laughing in someone else's mourning hall was a big taboo. The man with a bad temper immediately picked up his weapon!
only……

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Somehow, Xue Fan wanted to stop but couldn't. He laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

"You are so sick!"

Seeing him like this, several big men from the Wang family immediately came out, shouted, and prepared to chase him away with brooms. The others also shouted and cursed, and the scene was in chaos.

But at this time...

"Ha ha ha ha?"

Xue Fan was laughing, but suddenly stopped laughing. He then widened his eyes and found that a dark figure suddenly appeared next to the coffin. Black air was floating around him, like an old man. "Wang, Mr. Wang?"

He took a closer look at the old man's face and saw that it was none other than Old Man Wang. He immediately reacted.

"What the hell am I seeing?!"

However, even though he saw a ghost, Xue Fan was not afraid at all. Instead, he looked carefully and found that the old man was staring at the Wang family members who were in chaos with a sad face.

As if noticing that Xue Fan could see him, he shook his head gently towards Xue Fan and squeezed out a kind smile from his sorrow. A familiar voice then rang in Xue Fan's mind:

"Don't mind it, Xiao Fanzi. Thank you for coming to see me off..."

Looking at this group of guys, the old man seemed to find it funny, but he just couldn't laugh.

"Master Wang..."

Hearing the old man's words and seeing his sad expression, Xue Fan was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils shrank...

"Old man!"

He discovered that the old man's body was fading little by little, and was about to disappear in the blink of an eye!

Seeing this scene, and thinking that the old man was leaving with resentment, he immediately thought of his grandfather: "Grandpa, before you left, seeing those guys like this... did you feel the same way?"

As soon as I thought of this, a feeling of sadness suddenly rose from my heart and surged like a tide!
“Ooooooo…Ooo ...!”

The next moment, Xue Fan began to sob, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, causing everyone who were about to kick him out to be stunned and stop for a moment.

In a short while, the soft sobs turned into miserable howls. He who was laughing a moment ago suddenly started crying again. His voice was so loud that it reached the sky and was extremely deafening. His body also began to tremble!

"Oh, old man——!"

"Your life is so miserable!"

Then, a magical scene happened. As Xue Fan cried and screamed, Old Man Wang, who was about to dissipate, condensed again and turned into a black gas that rushed over and drilled into his banner.

When he saw this, he immediately stared, and felt something inside his body, and even greater sadness surged out, and he continued to shout:

"Oh, old man——!"

At this time, everyone reacted and couldn't help but get angry:
"What are you howling about here, you little lunatic? Our old man died of old age and passed away peacefully. How could he have such a miserable life?"

Isn't this a roundabout way of calling them unfilial?

However, when they were about to take action again, a beam of orange light suddenly lit up from the door...

wow——

The light flashed by in an instant and penetrated everyone's body, causing them to freeze and become quiet.

"What's going on?"

Seeing these guys suddenly stop, their anger dissipated, and gentle smiles appeared on their faces, Xue Fan couldn't help but stop crying, not understanding what was going on.

And the next second...

"You are Xue Fan, right?"

A magnetic male voice suddenly sounded, and he also noticed two figures at the gate of the yard, a man in his thirties and a girl of about eleven or twelve years old.

"Come with us, you don't belong here..."

The man waved his hand.
