I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

The outskirts of Chaoge City.

Four people carried the coffin.

The sound of suona horns and drums shook the heavens!

A hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix!

Birds circled and sang!

Farewell to the deceased!

An aura of annihilation surrounded the lamp!

This is already the fifth order for lamp lighting.

The sight of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix caused an unusual phenomenon, resulting in a great uproar in Chaoge City.

When an elder in the family passes away, people naturally want to hold a grand and dignified funeral.

Suona gongs and drums became standard equipment.

Humanity has no shortage of geniuses; some have even taught themselves to play the suona and gongs.

But no one could actually sing the song "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".

As a result, countless wealthy men in Chaoge City were inquiring about the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix.

In the eastern part of Chaoge, coffins were laid out.

A wealthy man dressed in brocade robes approached Ran Deng and said, "One hundred gold pieces, play a tune of 'Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix' for my father."

Ran Deng sat quietly, not yet speaking.

Mo Xiaohai, standing to the side, exclaimed excitedly, "Boss, we're about to make a fortune!"

Mo Xiaohai went on several jobs with Randeng, but he only received two coins per job!

How much is one hundred gold?

You can't spend it all! You absolutely can't spend it all!

That would be enough to buy the teacher lots of yellow sheep to eat!

No matter what, Demon Master Kunpeng is a well-known figure who has been famous for a long time!

Even if I only learn one skill, it will be enough to avenge myself!

Mo Xiaohai desperately wanted to avenge his mother; he dreamed of it all!

"Boss!"

Ran Deng sat quietly, slowly opening his eyes. He didn't even glance at the hundred gold coins. "I have absolutely no interest in money."

"What was your father's name? What did he do while he was alive?"

The wealthy man stammered and couldn't answer for a moment.

Ran Deng shook his head. "Go back. You are not worthy of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix."

The wealthy old man was anxious. His father had built his fortune from scratch, and he deserved a grand send-off after his death!

"Two hundred gold coins!"

The lamp shook its head.

"Three hundred gold!"

The lamp still shook its head.

Mo Xiaohai was impatient.

"A thousand gold pieces! Still not enough?"

Ran Deng shook his head decisively, "Xiao Mo, see the guest out!"

Mo Xiaohai saw his guests off with tears in his eyes.

After seeing off the guests, he returned with a fawning expression, "Master, I want to learn a trade."

"Please, please, I want to learn how to sing 'The Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix'!"

Having a skill is incredibly advantageous!

Ran Deng glanced at Mo Xiaohai, chuckled, and shook his head. "Really want to learn? Do ten years of work first."

The lamp-burning ceremony is to be held during the funeral to perfect the path of annihilation. Before the corpse is severed, the Hundred-Year Phoenix Ceremony will naturally not be passed on!

About two more days passed.

People kept coming to visit, including many who were very wealthy and powerful.

The highest offer for the lamp is 1,500 gold!

The lamp remained unmoved!

When a lamp is lit, its use is determined not by power or wealth, but solely by how the person lived in life!

A lamp's power is priceless!

The one who was allowed to come was a "down-and-out," but he did not fight or grab, was loyal to the Shang Dynasty and to the human race, and often shared his food with the poorer people.

When lighting lamps to send them off, a song called "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" will also be played!

The farewell ceremony featuring a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix has become the highest-level farewell for the deceased!

This day!

Another wealthy man asked Randeng to do some work, but Randeng politely declined.

So the wealthy man used some tricks, bribing Fei Zhong and You Hun to get to know them.

Fei Zhong and You Hun were eating porridge at home, with a piece of cured mutton hanging from the roof beam.

One look at the meat, one sip of the porridge, and it's delicious!

"Brother, I want to eat meat."

"Of course I want to eat it!"

"But aren't we poor?"

"We're so poor we can barely afford to eat."

"Brother, I saw you hiding 10,500 gold coins the day before yesterday..."

"What? Why did I hide gold? Wasn't it to help you find a wife?"

"In this world, people are too restless and value money too much. Without money, you can't even get a wife. It's tough."

"Brother, getting married requires paying a dowry... and it also means another mouth to feed. It's such a rip-off, such a huge rip-off."

"It's better to be a live-in son-in-law. You eat and drink at your father-in-law's house, and even take money from them when you leave!"

Fei Zhong's eyes lit up. "That's right!"

"I'll inquire around in a couple of days and see if any families need a son-in-law to move in with them."

"Hurry up and drink your porridge. After you finish, we'll go to the palace and prepare food for the King. This time, we'll disguise the chicken's butt as a 'treasure in the palm' for the King to eat. We two brothers will have to make do with dry and tough chicken breast."

The two brothers had just finished drinking their porridge.

Someone came to visit.

Fei Zhong and You Hun narrowed their eyes slightly. "What brings you here?"

The wealthy man said, "There are some things I would like to ask you two gentlemen for your help with."

Fei Zhong and You Hun had a sudden thought, and then rubbed their hands together.

Then the wealthy man presented a box of pastries.

You Hun was hungry again after finishing his porridge.

Fei Zhong grabbed a snack and threw it at the man, saying, "You're going to test an adult with this? Which adult can't withstand this test?"

"Oh my, my snacks are different..."

"The weights are different..."

Fei Zhong and You Hun's expressions changed, but they smiled and said, "Please come in quickly, what's the matter? Don't be so polite."

"This is quite heavy... probably at least a hundred gold pieces!"

"We've struck it rich!"

"Let's go out to eat tonight! Free braised pork, we'll drink at least three big bowls!"

The wealthy man directly stated his idea: he wanted Fei Zhong and You Hun to use some means to put pressure on the coffin shops in the east of the city.

Let them do the work!

Fei Zhong and You Hun accepted the money and patted their chests in agreement.

Getting paid to do a service is a matter of principle!

then!

Day two.

Fei Zhong and You Hun went to see Randeng.

I kindly persuaded Ran Deng to do something!

The lamp burner remained unmoved!

then!

Fei Zhong and You Hun began to use their connections, shouting, "The hygiene is substandard! The wood quality is substandard! The taxes aren't enough!"

"Wouldn't you be a fucking idiot not to make money?"

Fei Zhong and You Hun decisively sealed off the coffin shop of Randeng.

Ran Deng wasn't in a hurry. "These are things from the dead. Aren't you two afraid of losing your morals by doing this?"

"What is virtue? Is it having enough to eat?"

"I can't even live on a joke! My brother and I can't even afford to eat, what's there to be afraid of regarding moral failings?"

Fei Zhong and You Hun were extremely arrogant.

Left with no other option, Ran Deng had to proceed with the appeal process...

Fei Zhong and You Hun hummed a little tune as they went home.

I had just gotten home when the sky fell down.

"My lords, we've gotten ourselves into trouble, a really big problem."

Fei Zhong and You Hun remained completely unfazed, saying, "The sky won't fall! As long as the King trusts us, who can do anything to us?"

"Did you seal off a shop in the east of the city this morning, sir?"

"hold head high!"

"Does Your Excellency know who that person is?"

"Who cares who he is!"

"Once you arrive in Chaoge, you must abide by the rules of Chaoge!"

"My lord... but what if! The rules were set by their superiors..."

"He is the adopted son of the First Emperor!"

"What? What did you say?"

"hiss!"

"Hiss!" Fei Zhong and You Hun suddenly gasped!

Shock! Panic! My legs went weak!

I couldn't help but kneel down.

Then, unable to contain himself, he blurted out in his hometown dialect, "I'm doomed..."

"The First Emperor? The adopted son of the First Emperor, the supreme ruler!"

"broken!"

"The sky has fallen!"

"Extortion and pressure, even directed at the First Emperor?"

When Fei Zhong and You Hun were in court, the person they feared most was Grand Tutor Wen Zhong!

Who is Wen Zhong? A veteran of three dynasties! He wields the Golden Whip that Beats the King!

But Wen Zhong was also a descendant of the First Emperor!

"broken!"

then!

Fei Zhong and You Hun rushed back immediately, carrying thorns on their backs to apologize.

"We were blind to Mount Buzhou and disturbed Your Highness. We deserve to die!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me!"

The lamp remained silent.

Look up to the sky!

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably!

Burning Lamp suffered injustice in the Chan Sect! He endured it all in silence for countless years!

He even acknowledged the First Emperor as his biological father!

Wherever you go, you'll find connections!

I swear by the lamp! I really just want to acknowledge my biological father! I didn't intend to use my connection to the First Emperor!

It's not a problem yet!

His Highness's dignity! Immortal status! Position! Identity! He will have it all!

How can one light a lamp without shedding tears?

For countless eons, Randeng's dignity, immortal status, identity, and position have all been lost within the Chan Sect. He's fallen into a ditch.

Now! We're back!

They're all back!
