Chapter 343 Splendid Burial

He Ping's attack was ruthless. There were hundreds of people in the Sheng family, regardless of gender, old or young. They all did not escape this disaster, and were all killed by the Zhi Yang Zhi Gang's true energy.

After a while, the screams and noises of servants and maids could be heard in the various courtyards of Sheng Mansion.

In the air, He Pingyun scanned his mind downwards.

Then, he waved his hand, and an arc of light suddenly lit up, flashing with sparkling water like a glass cover falling down, silently, directly blocking the entire Sheng Mansion, and the sound in the mansion completely disappeared. This is A pure land secret technique, a kind of Buddhist barrier, can create a pure land barrier, which also prevents the movement here from spreading.

The black iron mask did not expect that He Ping was so ruthless that in the blink of an eye, he killed all the people with the surname Sheng and those with Tantai blood in the Sheng Mansion, except for the servants and maids.

"What a cruel method, Sheng Qianhu..."

A hoarse sound with magnetic vibrations, and indistinguishable male and female voices rang in his ears. He Ping heard that Iron Mask changed his name to Qianhu, and he quickly bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Sir, these Sheng family members are remnants of the previous dynasty. It is not a pity to die in the first place, but among them, some people have evil intentions and intend to overthrow the imperial court. Originally, the whole Sheng Mansion wanted to annihilate the nine tribes and take them to the Meridian Gate to be executed at Lingchi!"

He Ping shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "As the saying goes, rebellious ministers and traitors should be punished by everyone... Oh! I also pity that they are my own clansmen, and I can't bear the punishment of Ling Chi, so I am cruel to them. The members of the Sheng family were all killed by me using my true energy via air transport, and the death process was painless. They didn’t even know what happened before they died. This is a sign of compassion from my subordinates.”

"Hahahahaha! Such a compassionate heart, so good!"

The black iron mask couldn't help but laugh. Suddenly, the man's face under the iron mask became stern and he shouted sharply: "Sheng Qianhu, do you think I'm stupid? The Sheng family is really going to rebel. , your father Sheng Yong had an affair overseas and made a fortune. Do you really not know that you are his son? You killed hundreds of people in the Sheng Mansion in front of me. Do you think I don’t have eyes? Or do you think you are? Are you going to kill people and silence them in front of the envoy?"

As he spoke, the man's sword intent erupted, and a pair of eyes under a dark iron mask stared at He Ping, his eyes flashing, and his killing intent was cold and piercing, as if countless sharp knives were pressing against his back!

"Sure enough, it is the "Taibai Jingqi Sword". This swordsmanship is known as the world's best magical method of entering the Tao with a sword. It follows the path of the Nascent Soul Sword. It can use the infinite to enter when the waves are born and the clouds are destroyed. Sometimes, when the sword is drawn, it is unstoppable and even time can be distorted. Wu Qingzu, who painted the immortal way, once used painting to imitate this kind of swordsmanship. I just don’t know if this person’s cultivation level can condense the fifteenth sword. , and even the subsequent sixteen and seventeen swords..."

This tyrannical and suffocating sense of oppression would make anyone mistakenly believe that the Black Iron Mask would kill anyone at any time.

"My subordinates dare not."

He Ping also sensed this genuine killing intent, and felt a chill in the pores all over his body.

However, he did not panic, did not even raise his head, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I am loyal to the court, and I have the same feelings for the Holy One. Please be clear to me... Of course, if you don't trust me, take me down first." , and then escort the subordinate to Guixin Prison of the Internal Affairs Bureau. The subordinate is willing to prove his innocence and will never resist."

If it had been another person, he would have been in a panic at this time. Aroused by the murderous intent, he would inevitably have a guilty conscience and take action directly. However, he knew very well that Black Iron Mask would not take action at all. This person was just fishing. Trying to Try to scare yourself and see if you are stimulated!

"snort!"

The black iron mask sneered, and suddenly, the overflowing murderous aura that filled the air disappeared like the sea into the sky.

"Sheng Qianhu, where is Guixin Prison? Do you really not know, or are you really not afraid of death?"

"I know that your lords and the head of the department can distinguish right from wrong, and I have not done anything to disgrace the imperial court or the evil division."

He Ping raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, now that the imperial court is employing people, I believe that I have been promoted to Taoism, and I have some abilities. I can share the worries of the imperial court, the emperor and the chief! "

His words were very sincere. Even though the black iron mask did indeed contain a murderous intention, it was deeply hidden in his heart at this moment and was not revealed.

'This Sheng Yuzhou is really a character. In addition to being ruthless and extremely thick-skinned, he is also very aware of current affairs and knows how to advance and retreat. This kind of person is definitely not a good person or a good minister. He has a treacherous heart and sinister intentions... But now, In the imperial court, such people can come in handy! ’

After thinking about this, Iron Mask sighed and said: "Sheng Qianhu, to be honest, I despise you as a person, but you are right, the court needs people, and you can indeed come in handy, as long as you Can prove one’s loyalty to the imperial court and the Holy One.”

"yes."

He Ping lowered his head deeply.

"At least you're doing pretty well so far."

Black Iron Mask said calmly: "Actually, we have known the identity of the Sheng family for a long time, and we also clearly know the secret relationship between the Sheng family and the Tantai family. However, the Holy Master and the Master are willing to give you a chance, and also give your father Sheng He had an opportunity, but it’s a pity that he didn’t seize it..."

Finally, he added another sentence.

"Fortunately, you did not disappoint the Holy Master and the Chief. I have been following you secretly since you entered the city. I will truthfully report everything that happened before."

"Thank you, sir."

He Ping cupped his hands.

"By the way, sir... can you please try to cover it up? The remnants of Tantai are related to my Sheng family. If word spreads, it will inevitably cause trouble. I think it is best not to let some people with ulterior motives find opportunities to use this to cause trouble." There's going to be trouble."

"Can."

Black Iron Mask nodded.

He knows that this is "Sheng Yuzhou", and it is selfish to protect his reputation, but this kind of "selfishness" is not a bad thing for the Great You court and the Zhanxie Division. Since "Sheng Yuzhou" has cut off the bloodline of the Sheng family, and He had a grudge with the remnants of Daxian from Prince Tantai's lineage, and he could only stand in the court's camp in the future.

For various reasons, the imperial court burned all the intelligence and historical materials of the previous generation of Daxian Dynasty, and concealed the information about the Tantai clan from the people. Now, if something like the Tantai family reappears, It is inevitable to add variables to the five paths and eight desolations in the world.

It should be noted that during this period, the imperial court was still sending troops to suppress the successive rebellions by the Mud Cult, Chuang Taotian, and the Wuchang Army. If the Tantai family caused trouble again, it would consume additional manpower and material resources. Really The gain outweighs the loss.

"Then I would like to thank you, sir."

He Ping bowed his hands again, pretending to be extremely respectful.

"I want to return to the palace to resume my duties. You can handle the affairs of Sheng Mansion on your own."

Iron Mask turned around and grabbed the sphere made of pure energy.

"Remember your own words. I hope you are not lying when you say you are loyal to the imperial court. Otherwise, the sword in my hand will take your life in the future?!"

Uh-huh!

With a movement of his body and a roll of sword light, he became invisible.

"Two days later, go to the Evil Slaying Department to report on your work. The head of the department has something to say to you..."

After throwing these words in the air, the iron mask split the void with the help of the sword escape technique. His figure became fainter and fainter until he finally disappeared without a trace.

"Fortunately, it's the same as I expected."

After He Ping saw the "iron mask" leave, he was not surprised by the current situation. Whether it was a big deal or a small matter regarding the remnants of Tantai would depend on the attitude of the court, and he showed With the strength to enter the Taoist level, and the clean and tidy severing of the relationship with the Tantai clan, in the eyes of the Great You court, he is a character worth wooing.

A Taoist master is not a cabbage. In this era, the gold content is still quite high, and it is still worthy of the Great You court to treat him differently.

"The first step of the plan was successful..."

He Ping looked at the direction in which the iron mask was leaving, slowly lowered his eyelids, and an inexplicable atmosphere rippled around his body.

"Then, this is the next step..."

…

The news that more than a hundred members of the Sheng family were all killed in one night spread like wildfire the next day, and everyone in Yujing City heard about it.

However, the government also concluded the matter, saying that a group of criminal thieves broke into the Sheng family at night and killed the master of the Sheng family and his entire family, including a few young children.

"Are you kidding? This is Yujing City. What kind of gangsters can break into the city, ignore the defense in Yujing City, ignore the patrolling troops, the gatekeepers and sergeants guarding the city gate, and kill all the men and women of the Sheng family! If you really have such an uncanny ability, then you are no longer a human being, but a ghost!"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. I heard that there were strange movements in the Sheng family that night. At the third watch of the day, people inside and outside the Sheng family were killed by the 'Ghost Bat with a Knife' from the Evil Division, as well as the Five Cities. The men and horses of the Military and Horse Department are surrounded by people, and I think there is something fishy about this!"

"The government's statement may also be to cover up something. Some people say that it is not a gangster, but that the entire Sheng family was possessed by evil spirits. That night, the whole family died suddenly!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Where did the evil spirit come from? I think I must have contracted some strange disease and the whole family died. In fact, I heard that the Sheng family..."

This strange incident has gradually become the talk of the surrounding neighbors, as well as teahouses and restaurants. Most smart people do not believe the government's statement. This matter naturally sounds extremely ridiculous, but since there are officials who have determined it, then forget it It's not a gangster, it's a gangster. Anyway, the word "official" has two pronouns, up and down, so there's no problem no matter how you say it!

…

It was also drizzling in Yujing City. A huge funeral procession came out of the South City Gate with gongs and drums. The funeral carriages and queues were lined up in a long row. This was a hired procession. Servants from the Sheng family were also mixed in.

After leaving the city, thirty coffins were lined up like a long snake, along the road, heading straight to the Nanshan Mountain of Yujing City.

There is a Nanshan peak in the suburbs outside the city. The mountains are beautiful and surrounded by green water. It is indeed a geomantic treasure.

These thirty coffins were carried by several elders of the Sheng family, and there were more deceased people, who were ordered to be carried into Nanshan in coffins one day in advance.

In the misty drizzle, a large amount of yellow paper covered the ground. The queue was full of people wearing linen clothes, as well as golden boys and girls, paper figures, paper mountains, high-rise ingots, and various jades, gold and stones appeared one after another, but they were all made of paper. , but it seems to be powerful enough.

With such a huge team and such extravagant touches, it was undoubtedly a grand burial!

He Ping was riding a horse. The raindrops in the sky were thin and dense, but they could not fall on him. After all, with his cultivation, those raindrops evaporated above his head before they fell on him. There was a lingering mist.

He did not stand at the front, but rode a tall horse and followed the team. He took one look at the team and felt satisfied in his heart.

"The Sheng family really treated me well. They worked tirelessly and gave away benefits and resources. They even gave away their own identity, whether it was Sheng Qingzhi, his son Sheng Qinghong, Sheng Yong, Sheng Yuzhou... …Which one is not a gift boy, which one has not been squeezed out of all the benefits by me, and which one has not contributed a lot. Now, I give the Sheng family a glorious burial and help them move into a feng shui blessed land. This is also a meritorious deed!"

He finally fulfilled his previous promise, saying that he would give the Sheng family a grand burial. Saying this is like saying out loud that other people's whole families are dead, and it is appropriate for me to spend some money on a funeral for them from the property accumulated by the Sheng family.

"However, the bodies of the Sheng family cannot be kept. The bodies of this clan are also useful to me," He Ping thought while sitting on his horse, already making a decision in his heart.

"The Sheng family all have blood from the Tantai family... The lineage of Emperor Tantai is proficient in the Taoist method of Wanzu Mountain. It is said that Wanzu Mountain is built from the earth into a mountain, turning the mountain into a tomb, and turning the peaks into a forest of steles. It is just a matter of practice." During the process, the souls and ashes of the clansmen are needed to perform the 'rite of utter despair'.

However, most of the Sheng family's bodies are not reusable, and I'm afraid they won't even be useful for refining corpses. After thinking about it, I can only refine them all into ashes, so that I can use them when I study the 'Wanzu Mountain'! "

He is also quite interested in the Taoist method of Wanzu Mountain. In the future, as long as he finds an opportunity to kill a person from the Tantai family, he can get some clues about how to enter the Taoist method. He may even have the opportunity to sneak into the Tantai family and steal the foundation of Wanzu Mountain.

Thinking of this, He Ping's gratitude to the Sheng family was even more palpable. Even after the Sheng family died, they would still contribute their meager efforts to help him study the essence of Daxian Tantai clan's Taoism in the future. I really helped a lot.

He rode a tall horse and followed the team halfway, when there was a rapid sound of horse hooves behind him.

"Sheng Qianhu, please stop."

At this moment, a voice came from behind. He Ping turned his head and saw several ghost bats wearing rain hats and riding horses rushing over.

"What's wrong with you guys?"

He asked calmly.

"I have a humble job and have met thousands of households."

One of them smiled slightly and said flatteringly: "Sir Qianhu, the Chief ordered you to return to the Evil Division immediately. There is a very important matter that requires Sheng Qianhu to discuss together!"

Another Guibat colleague next to him also smiled and said: "In addition, I would also like to congratulate Sheng Qianhu. You have been promoted again. The Holy Lord has passed on your duties and made you a rank envoy among the nine envoys. From now on, you will be called you. You are the 'Chief Envoy'!"
