Chapter 95: What is sacrifice
"Are things ready?"
It was still the old house, in the secret room opposite to the red house.
The old woman was sitting upright on the Grand Master's chair, staring at Chen Fu, who was half open and looked at the restrained Chen Fu on the opposite side.
When Chen Fu heard the question, he hurriedly said, "Auntie, the portrait has been put into the coffin. Although some accident just happened, it is still under our control."
The old woman's young eyebrows frowned and her eyes suddenly widened:
"Why are there any accidents?"
Chen Fu heard that the old woman seemed to be angry, and when her legs were weak, she knelt directly on the ground, burying her head to the lowest point:
"It's because of that incident that we were really not cautious enough, which led to panic in the mansion now, and even more..."
He seemed to be very taboo about that matter, even more afraid than that portrait.
The old woman's breath suddenly changed, and the majesty of the past disappeared, replaced by a burst of fatigue:
"The last five are here, and after I finish, I will be reborn.
Li family, it will be yours from now on.”
After saying this, the old woman slowly left the secret room with a cane.
But halfway through the walk, she suddenly stopped and asked without looking back:
"Fu'er, you didn't hide anything from me, are you?"
"No!"
After receiving this reply, she finally left completely.
The slightly hunched back shows no youth that is equal to the appearance.
Chen Fu slowly raised his head and pointed his tiny face at the back.
A sound was made in my heart.
"Old guy, I give you everything you have now.
When the last five are completed, it will be time to collect the accounts!"
...
Five clerks, who were full of wine and meals, were sitting in the lobby, waiting for the old woman to arrive.
Judging from the information Yu Guo overheard, they are indeed going to participate in the funeral.
Moreover, this funeral seemed to be completely different from what happened last night.
This time, four of them had died before the funeral was held, and they died suddenly silently.
In other words, ghosts also attach great importance to this funeral.
However, what Yu Guo couldn't understand was that since the funeral was a ceremony for sacrifice to ghosts, why did ghosts kill the funeral person?
This is very unreasonable.
It even made him think that all the information he has now is false.
While waiting for the old woman to arrive here, several clerks re-checked the content of the task, including the information they found.
I was afraid that the tampering of the last mission would happen again.
But the final result still surprised them.
There is no problem with clues and missions, and everything points to the sacrifice.
But what are the reasons for the ghosts and contradictory practices? It is completely incomprehensible to the people present.
At this moment, the old woman and Chen Fu walked into the lobby together, followed by Xiao Zhu and several servants.
As soon as the old woman appeared, she saw Fang Shenyan's seriously injured figure and frowned.
But he didn't ask, but just said softly:
"Several people, I guess you strange people have been trying a lot in our mansion last night, but these are not important.
As long as you can complete the next task, everything will be done without any consequences."
Her attitude directly ignited Chang Nian.
I always think of women who are moody, especially those who are soft but not hard. They are usually fine, but once they are a little unhappy, they will explode.
She slapped the table, stood up, pointed at Chen Fu's figure and said:
"I wrapped us up yesterday, but I was already hiding evil intentions. Even if I turned your Li family down, what can I do?"
The old woman was not angry at all when she heard this. She just glanced at Chang Nian and said quietly:
"Since that's the case, why didn't you leave yesterday?"
"I……"
I often recite for a while and I am speechless. They really don’t want to come, but they can’t leave either.
Now that I am stalemate here, I am reluctant to leave here, otherwise the task will be completely impossible to complete.
Tongguan pulled Chang Nian's sleeve and asked him to sit down, but instead stood up.
He first looked at Chen Fu's face, then looked at the old woman, and said word by word:
“You and I have different purposes.
We are a partnership, not your servants.”
Chen Fu sneered from the side, as if he was sneering at the cooperative relationship mentioned by Tongguan.
Just as I was about to speak, I happened to meet Fang Shenyan's gloomy face.
Fang Shenyan didn't say a word, but just squinted his eyes slightly at Chen Fu and looked at the old woman again.
Apart from that, nothing was done.
His approach actually came from last night's experience.
At that time, Chen Fu was obviously preparing to party with some people in a location that others would never have imagined.
And this kind of behavior must have some unspeakable secret.
Then Chen Fu's secret will be deliberately concealed from who in Li's mansion, and the answer is about to come out.
Although Fang Shenyan had no idea about the specific secret, this did not prevent him from having the biggest weapon to restrain Chen Fu!
When Tongguan and others were discussing the restriction method, he just vaguely gave the word "kill".
But there is no mention of this.
This is also the one who is at a disadvantage at the moment, protecting himself.
Sure enough, Chen Fu suddenly realized when he saw Fang Shenyan's meaningful look.
He glanced at the old woman in horror, and couldn't help but think of the old woman's inquiry in the secret room for no reason.
He suddenly felt cold. He did hide something.
And that matter is very important to him, and he must not let the old woman know, otherwise...
What Chen Fu was about to say was forced back by Fang Shenyan's look.
The old woman smiled and waved her hand to disperse the two servants behind her.
"Then, let's start working together, I guarantee you will not die!"
Tong Guan knew that this was a scene, but he didn't say anything. He pulled Chang Nian's arm and walked out of the lobby with the old woman.
The other people also stood up one after another and set off on their own.
Only Chen Fu was passing by Fang Shenyan's side, paused for a second, and said viciously:
"She said she would protect you from death, and I said you will die!"
Not long after, a few people arrived at the backyard.
This is the back alley of Li's mansion. Several neighboring houses were bought, specially equipped with coffins and funeral supplies.
A large group of strong young men, wearing white robes, had been waiting for a long time, and were another group of temporary workers.
The old woman did not think of following her. She stood straight at the back door and handed everything to Chen Fu.
Tongguan and others did not need to carry the coffin this time, but instead set up filial flags and mingled in the funeral team.
Tao Xiaoyi looked at Yu Guo’s back and was a little nervous: “Since they did not force us to have a funeral, why do you have to come with me?”
Yu Guo put away one of the playful ones, waved his hand and sprinkled a batch of paper money, looked at the yellow paper all over the sky and said softly: "If it is a sacrifice, no less than thirty people have died in the Li family.
Why were there only twelve funerals, including the four coffin carrying men who just died?
None of them seemed to be considered a sacrifice in the lives of human lives.
If you really want to know the purpose of this funeral, you must see it with your own eyes.
