Qin Mu kept the gold ingot and said, "Big fella, focus on your cultivation. I'll come and find you tomorrow. You mustn't enter the side chamber, that devil is very cunning! "
Devil ape nodded.
Qin Mu immediately returned to the village and not long later, he arrived outside Disabled Elderly Village. From afar, he could see two paper boats stopping in the air at the village entrance. The paper cranes had landed under the trees at the village entrance but there was no one on the boats or the cranes. They should have already entered the village.
He walked into the village and saw the elder who had spoken on the boat sitting in front of Village Chief. He was talking to Village Chief, "I've heard that Madam Si of your village has excellent craftsmanship so I came here to ask granny to help me tailor a few clothes."
Village Chief asked, "May I ask what kind of clothes you want and what are the sizes?"
The elder replied, "I want to make a total of nine shrouds. I'll tailor them according to the figures of your villagers. I've also heard that Old Ma's carpentry is pretty good so I'll have to trouble Old Ma to help me make nine coffins. The length of the coffins will also be according to everyone's figures. "
Suddenly, the elder saw Qin Mu walking over and revealed an astonished expression. He corrected himself, "I was wrong, it's ten shrouds and ten coffins. Qian Qiu, pay the deposit. "
The man called Qian Qiu went forward and waved his hand slightly. A paper boat floated over from the village entrance and landed beside Village Chief. Qin Mu immediately saw that the goods on the boat were actually paper money, ingots, candles, mourning sticks, white banners, and other unlucky items!
The elder made him stop the paper boat at the village entrance and said, "This is the deposit for ten shrouds and ten coffins. May I ask granny and Old Ma if you can finish them today? Truth be told, I'm in a hurry. "
Cripple, blacksmith, apothecary, and the rest who were busy with their own work suddenly quietened down. Madam Si walked over shakily and smiled, "You need ten shrouds today? Customer, it's a little rushed. "
Old Ma walked over and said coldly, "I'm fast so the coffins can be finished today. Can old mister wait a while? "
The old man smiled and said, "It is a bit rushed, but you are all capable people. You should be able to rush it out, right?"
Madam Si glanced at the candles on the ship and sneered, "If you're in a hurry to wear them, I can make them now. I just happened to buy some cloth a few days ago."
The old man bowed and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Granny."
Granny Si walked back into the house and took out a few batches of cloth. With a shake of her hand, the batches of cloth floated in midair. Next, a pair of scissors automatically flew out from her basket and started to cut the cloth in midair. Not long later, the clothes were finished.
Silver needles flew out from the small basket one after another. They were threaded in midair and soon, the shrouds were sewn properly.
On the other hand, Old Ma walked out of the village and came under the thick willow trees by the river. Green gas flew out from his fingers and surrounded the willow trees. Not long later, the thick tree trunks were sliced into white wooden coffins.
These white wooden coffins flew over and landed at the entrance of the village.
Madam Si's clothes were also finished. She gently waved her hand and the shrouds landed on the coffins one by one.
Old Ma walked over and said coldly, "You brought quite a bit of money so I made two more for you for free. There are twelve coffins and they are tailor-made. I guarantee that they won't be longer or shorter when you lie down! Is old mister satisfied? "
Madam Si smiled and said, "I also made two more sets of shrouds for free. I guarantee that they will fit."
The old man chuckled and said, "Satisfied, satisfied."
Qin Mu saw that the atmosphere was getting stranger and stranger and secretly counted. The green clothed people and the old man added up to exactly twelve people!
Apothecary walked over with a sinister face but his voice was very gentle, "Old mister, from your accent, you don't seem to be a local. It seems to be the accent of the southern border."
The old man smiled warmly and said, "We are indeed from the southern border, the generation of Li River."
Cripple walked over with a face full of smiles and said, "There's a Li River Sect in Li River. I heard that it's a big sect that lives beside the river and has many experts. I heard that the sect master of Li River Sect is called Mu Beifeng. His divine arts have reached perfection and he can break the river with just a stretch of his hand. "
The old man immediately said, "You flatter me, you flatter me. I am indeed Mu Beifeng. My Li River Sect is actually just a small sect that makes a living by relying on the mountains and rivers. We usually make a living on the river. This old man has five junior brothers. Thanks to the various fellow daoists, they are known as the Li River's Five Elders. "
Qin Mu's heart skipped a beat and his expression changed slightly. Weren't Li River's Five Elders the five elders that died in the hands of Madam Si?
Could it be that this Mu Beifeng had led everyone here to take revenge for Li River's Five Elders?
He had clearly said that he wanted to make ten coffins and ten sets of shrouds. They were obviously prepared for everyone in Disabled Elderly Village. After killing the villagers, he would put them in the shrouds and bury them in the coffins before burning some ingots and candles!
These paper boats and paper cranes were also prepared for the villagers of Disabled Elderly Village after they died!
Mu Beifeng rotated the jade ring on his thumb and said slowly, "Two years ago, the imperial court issued an imperial edict and the National Division personally brought the imperial edict to my Li River Sect to discuss the Dao with me. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I willingly submitted and accepted the imperial edict, thanking the emperor for his grace. My Li River Sect is indebted to the emperor and the National Division for thinking highly of us. They conferred me the title of Prefecture Overseer of the Five Sprouts Prefecture of the southern borders, an official of the lower second rank, to govern the five sprouts. The National Division also conferred Li River's Five Elders as Miaojiang's Vice Protectors, an official of the lower third rank. After all, we are idle clouds and wild cranes. Even though we were conferred an official position, we still like to move around. "
Village Chief smiled, "Yankang Kingdom is a sect disguised as a country. The emperor is assisted by the Yankang National Preceptor who is known as the number one person below the gods. These years, the fate of the country has become more and more prosperous. They have subdued many sects and even allowed their disciples to enter the army to expand their territory. Brother Mu was originally free and unrestrained. Now that you have become an official in the imperial court, you have to be controlled by the laws of the imperial court. It's reasonable that you aren't used to it. "
Mu Beifeng continued, "Therefore, my five junior brothers wanted to come out and walk around. They brought Li River's Five Disciples into Great Ruins. Li River's Five Disciples are the disciples that my five junior brothers had taken in. They have some ability so my five junior brothers decided to bring them out to gain experience. "
Blind walked over with his bamboo cane and said, "Li River's Five Elders entered Great Ruins to gain experience? They even brought along disciples? Great Ruins is very dangerous and I can't help but worry for them. "
