Look In the Mirror

  Chapter 491 Old Man Crying for Funeral

   "Mage Lihuang?"

   Li Chen and the three looked at each other.

  The old man Wu nodded seriously: "It's unmistakable, it's 'Master Lihuang'."

   "Not long ago, the city lord issued an announcement from the imperial court."

   "This mage Lihuang was originally a disciple of the Shasheng Buddha in the Shasheng Temple in Southern Xinjiang.

  First he made meritorious deeds in fighting against the demon clan, and later he solved the flood in southern Xinjiang. He has great merits.

  That's why Zhou Tianzi canonized him as Master Lihuang. "

   "Even the 'twenty-five cassock' and the sacred bird, the old man has seen it with his own eyes."

   "It is indeed a rare treasure, a bird of prey!"

  While speaking, the old man Wu used his hands to draw strokes back and forth.

   "Oh, I didn't expect that such a character turned out to be a money-grubbing and lustful person."

  At this time, Li Sao laughed and said, "What? It's nothing more than being greedy for money, why are you still lustful?"

   After speaking, he gave Li Chen a teasing look.

  The old man in Wu shook his head: "The world is hot and cold, and people's hearts are not old."

   "To tell the truth to the three monks, this mage Li Huang has only been in Jinsang City for half a year."

   "Dozens of young girls have been harmed."

  “Some of them committed themselves to him in order to heal their family members.

  Some of them are plundering and deceiving. "

   "Many young girls could not even bear the humiliation, and had thrown themselves into the river."

   "I didn't expect that the majestic mage conferred by the imperial court would be so greedy for money, lustful and lustful."

   "There are very few figures like the three monks."

  After hearing this, Li Chen couldn't help but feel angry: Isn't this obviously ruining the reputation of this mage.

  It’s impossible to ignore this matter.

  The night is dark, the moon is bright and the stars are few.

  A gust of breeze blows, the scalp is cool and tight.

  Li Chen pondered for a moment, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

   "Brother, how about it? Just subdue the demons?"

   Li Sao's eyes were shining brightly. Since he came down from the mountain, the hostility on his body has been increasing day by day.

  Li Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "This matter should be discussed in the long run."

   "It's getting late today, let's rest for a night first."

  It is true that during this period of time, the three of them traveled east to west, almost across the entire Feiluzhou.

   It is indeed hard work to eat and sleep in the open every day, and lie down with only clothes on.

   So, the three of them went back to their rooms, finally able to sleep peacefully.

   Nothing to say all night.

  The next morning, the genius was bright.

  Jin Sangcheng was awakened by a cry.

  The people in the city turned their heads to look, but it turned out that it was the old man Wu who was in charge of making cakes in the Wu family, crying for his wife.

   "What's wrong with this martial artist? Why did he make such a big noise early in the morning? It's like a mourning."

  Crowds began to gather on both sides of the road.

  At this moment, a well-informed person whispered: "Oh, it really is a funeral."

   "Last night, Mrs. Wu Pan drank the 'Sacred Water' and died~"

   "What? People gone?"

  The man nodded meaningfully: "Oh, this Wu Dalang is also out of luck."

   "Originally, the biscuits sold well, and they can be regarded as a wealthy household in our Jinsang City."

   "My son joined the army in his prime, and his life and death are uncertain, leaving only two old companions."

   "Who would have thought that the mother-in-law is actually infected with this **** plague."

   "Sigh, the only thing left of such a big family is the small building in front of me."

   "As a result, the money is gone, and the people are gone. It's pitiful, pitiful."

   Passers-by shook their heads while talking, and some even burst into tears.

  But one of the people in the crowd said loudly: "If you want me to say, the sister-in-law of the Wu family is going well!"

   "If you catch that disease, it would be less painful to leave early."

   "It's better than being disastered by those monster monks!"

  Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, but when they looked back, they felt sorry for each other, and there was a bit of sympathy on their faces.

  The person who spoke was none other than Boss Shen from the silk shop on this street.

  Originally, his silk and satin business was making a lot of money every day, and he was also the number one figure in Jinsang City.

  But because his only son was infected with the plague, others sold him a bowl of "Shenshui" for ten taels of silver.

   Now it is also in decline and there is only one facade left.

   "It's also a poor man."

   "No one should look at other houses being lively."

   "Yesterday was the Shen family, today is the Wu family, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there are Zhang family, Wang family, Li family, Zhao family..."

  While everyone was moaning and sighing, it was the old man Wu who was crying and howling.

   "Ouch, this Wu family master is really a kind-hearted man!"

   "He is going to push the mother-in-law's body to the Ksitigarbha Temple to ask for a dharma!"

   "What? So much courage?"

   Everyone looked intently, and saw an old man in sackcloth pushing a cart in the middle of the street.

  His crying and grief were heard from the streets to the alleys, and everyone in the crowd was in tears when they heard it, like a couple with deep love.

  Looking at the cart again, Mrs. Wu Pan was lying in the cart, covered with a layer of white cloth to cover it tightly.

   Right on the tall building where old man Wu passed by, Li Sao said with a smile: "Senior brother, I didn't expect old man Wu's acting skills to be really good."

  After a night of deliberation, Li Chen decided to outwit.

  One reason is that the other party's true background is not clear, and the other party can be regarded as a local snake, and the three of them may not be opponents.

  The second reason is that Li Chen wants to expose these liars in front of the people of Jinsang City.

   Return justice to the common people, and return innocence to yourself.

   Li Chen glanced at the cart, and raised the corner of his mouth: "I just felt a little wronged, brother."

   It wasn't Wu Pan's family in the cart, but Monk Li Ge.

   Originally, Li Chen wanted Li Sao to go in, but he was really afraid that this guy would snore after falling asleep inside.

   If there is a snoring sound while walking, it will really be a waste of time.

   "Brother Wu Family, you wait for us! We are going to mourn too!"

   But a down-and-out scholar walked out of the crowd, with a white cloth tied around his waist, and holding two ranks in his hands.

   On the left is written 'Wang Tan', and on the right is written 'Wang Qiuli'.

   "That's... that's... Wang Zaoshi!

   This is our great scholar in Jinsang City.

  Years ago when I saw him, I was still in high spirits, why did I become like this now? ! "

   "Oh, I'm afraid you don't know, brother, Wang Zaoshi is crazy."

   "What's going on here? How can a great Confucian go crazy?!"

   "Well, it's a long story. Not long ago, the Wang Tan family was also unfortunately infected with the plague."

   "Wang Zaoshi had no choice but to buy Shenshui to treat his illness."

   "But those monks seemed to be sure of him, so they insisted on neither accepting money nor selling him divine water."

   "It must be said that Miss Wang's family has a relationship with the Buddha, so she should enter the temple."

   "Isn't that a bastard! What does a girl's family have to do with Buddha?!"

   "Miss Wang is a well-known beauty in our Jinsang City, and she is also a scholarly family, knowledgeable and sensible."

   "When I was not out of the cabinet, the threshold of the family was already trampled by the matchmaker."

   "Those monks have already made up their minds on this."

   "Wang Zaoshi is well-versed in things, so how can he fail to see their thoughts."

   "But how could he be willing to send his daughter into the fire pit?"

   "So I can only watch the voice of the woman in front of me weaken."

   "But I didn't expect Miss Wang to be a filial daughter. She actually..."
