Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 104 Funeral, Grandmaster's Restraint

On Wudang Mountain, after the birthday banquet, a funeral was held.

The funeral was simple yet solemn.

Simplicity is the consistent style of Wudang Mountain.

The solemnity comes from the fact that there are so many people participating.

Heroes from all over the country and from all sects did not mind staying for a few more days to attend the funeral.

It can be said that this funeral is the one with the most participants from all over the world.

I wonder if the three people who were buried together at this funeral would feel honored in their afterlife.

"Poor Zhang Wuxia and his wife, they just returned from overseas and encountered such a thing, alas..."

"The couple's children are truly pitiful..."

People looked towards a corner of the mourning hall and sighed pitifully.

There, Zhang Wuji was sitting there in mourning clothes, with a confused look on his face.

For the young boy, what happened in the past two days was really hard to accept. It was as if he had just celebrated a grand birthday, eaten a lot of delicious food, and had a good sleep.

When I woke up again...my parents were gone to a faraway place...

"Meow~"

A calico cat came up to Zhang Wuji, rubbed its head against him, and then leaned directly against him.

Zhang Wuji glanced at it, and a hint of spirit finally appeared in his confused eyes.

Not far away, Yu Daying also sighed softly.

As the only person who knew the truth besides Zhang Sanfeng, he could not say anything.

I even felt a deep sense of guilt in my heart.

Although the truth has been revealed now, the reason why Zhang Cuishan committed suicide in excitement was entirely due to Mu Daoren's use of mind control.

And it is a mind-control technique that lasts for nearly half a month.

How could Zhang Cuishan resist?

But no matter what, the reason for Zhang Cuishan's suicide was still because of his own affairs.

Yin Susu chose to fake her death because of Zhang Cuishan's death.

Thinking back to ten years ago, Zhang Cuishan also went down the mountain to investigate the cause of his paralysis, and then he lived overseas for ten years.

Everything... is because of him...

If it weren't for his paralysis, he would probably have committed suicide out of shame.

And perhaps he guessed what he was thinking, but Song Yuanqiao now increased the number of disciples guarding him from two to six.

With such guilt, he felt more pity for Zhang Wuji than for others.

In addition, Wudang Mountain has been extremely busy these days, and only he, as a paralyzed invalid, has time to accompany Zhang Wuji.

After bowing, Chu Liuxiang left the mourning hall and caught up with Zhou Ming, Lu Xiaofeng and others who had been waiting for him.

"I never expected so many complicated things to happen on Wudang Mountain. I never expected three people to lose their lives overnight."

Hua Manlou's tone was filled with pity and regret.

He has always loved flowers and grass, and even more so, he loves all life in this world.

Now, this time, three innocent lives were lost overnight, which made him sigh even more.

In comparison, Sikong Zhaixing was just purely curious.

"Lu Xiaofeng, you said that Zhang Wuxia was controlled by Mu Daoren using mind control and committed suicide. Then how did Madam Zhang die? And how did Shi Yan die?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "The order you asked is wrong. In fact, the first person to die was Shi Yan, or in other words, Mu Dao Ren's target was Shi Yan."

"Shi Yan? Why did Taoist Mu kill him?"

"do not know."

"do not know?"

"do not know!"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "Master Mu did it perfectly, leaving almost no clues or traces. No one knows why he killed Shi Yan... or maybe Wudang doesn't want me to know." When the Wudang Sect wanted to cover up something that happened on Wudang Mountain, even he, Lu Xiaofeng, could not know what it was.

"After killing Shi Yan, Taoist Mu did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed on Wudang Mountain and listened to Master Zhang's teachings!"

"Hiss... How could he be so bold?"

"He was so bold. After all, he was already a Grandmaster at that time, and he had already made a plan to delay Master Zhang. And this plan was to kill Zhang Wuxia..."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke: "Who would have thought that Zhang Wuxia's death was just a way for Mu Dao Ren to buy himself some time?"

"How did Mrs. Zhang die?"

"It is said that he committed suicide because he could not accept the death of Zhang Wuxia... What is love in this world? It makes people pledge their love for each other through life and death."

"Didn't the rumor go around that the two Xuanming Elders of the Yuan Kingdom wanted to kidnap Zhang Wuji, so they killed Madam Zhang?" Sikong Zhaixing was puzzled. "Why are they saying it was suicide?"

Lu Xiaofeng glared at him and said, "You also know that the two Xuanming elders are from the Yuan Kingdom. How can you make up stories without any evidence?"

Some things are hidden underneath, as light as a feather.

When I weighed it, it weighed more than a thousand pounds.

The two Xuanming Elders are from the Yuan Kingdom.

People from the Yuan Dynasty fled to the Ming Dynasty and even went to Wudang Mountain. They killed the wife of Zhang Zhenren's disciple and wanted to kidnap Zhang Zhenren's disciple's grandson.

If this kind of thing gets out, all the people will be angry.

After all, that’s Wudang, that’s Master Zhang’s business!
In this world, Master Zhang made great efforts in the process of establishing the Ming Dynasty. Later, successive emperors bestowed upon him great honors and promoted Master Zhang's reputation, making it a belief among the people.

The people are angry, so the emperor must also make some statement.

Once the emperor shows his attitude, it becomes a matter of state!

However, the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is complicated, and it is not appropriate to go to war with other countries.

Therefore, we can only make a big deal out of a small matter.

Besides, the life of Yin Susu is a trivial matter compared with the entire country.

It was only because this incident happened in Wudang Mountain and she was the wife of Master Zhang's disciple that it was a little special.

Wudang Mountain probably understands this, which is why it makes such a statement to the outside world.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh that even a grandmaster, even Zhang Sanfeng, could not do whatever he wanted, as he always had concerns!
After descending Wudang Mountain, you can see white cloths hung everywhere in the town, as if they are mourning along with the people on the mountain.

However, not many people who came and went talked about this matter. Most of them were still paying attention to the shocking battle that took place a few days ago.

Or rather, it was something that was exposed in that shocking battle.

The magic medicine for rejuvenation!

"A lot of people are already packing up and leaving."

"If it weren't for the funeral, I'm afraid many people would have passed away a few days earlier."

"After all, they've been through something like that, so they're probably eager to bring the news back."

"We all have to go our separate ways."

Everyone gathered here because of the centenary birthday celebration of Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Mountain.

No matter how many things happened in the meantime, with the end of the birthday party, everyone will leave and go in different directions.

Zhou Ming said, "I originally wanted to hold a banquet on Mount Wudang, but now it seems that it is not appropriate."

Lu Xiaofeng laughed heartily and said, "The Yunhai banquet cannot be held, but we must have a farewell banquet!"

"Of course!"

Zhou Ming: "Then tomorrow at noon, I will book the third floor of the Yuelai Inn in the town. Everyone must be there!"

"Of course!"

Everyone nodded and then dispersed.

Two figures walked past them. Lu Xiaofeng turned around suddenly and stared at the backs of the two people.

"what happened?"

"That person looks like Sun Shou..."
