Moon Fullbow said, “Since you have agreed to our request, I will ask you, what are you here for today?”
Yes, I would also like to know, it is definitely not a coincidence that they have combined back and forth for today, there must be a purpose.
“To collect Ji Yanran’s ashes.”
“What?!”
Yue Manshan was quite dry, but the words that came out surprised me beyond measure.
In fact, I had never been to my parents’ grave to pay my respects, not because I was unfilial, but because Zhang Mei had forbidden me to go, and I didn’t even know where they were buried.
I immediately calmed down and continued to ask: “Then did you want to come yourself, or did Jiang Ming send you?”
“Jiang Ming sent me, but he sent me for something else.”
“What is it exactly?”
Yue Manshan grew nervous and said, “Jiang Ming told me to set fire to the ancestral hall of the Thousand Clans. After it’s burnt, make a scene at the Thousand Clans, the bigger the better.”
“The Jianghu Covenant, aren’t you guys afraid?”
“The people from the front mountain will be the cover, and I’ll do my damage.”
Moon Fullbow asked, “That’s strange, if that’s the case, why are they rushing to withdraw?”
Yue Manshan’s face became hard and a little stiff, and I felt at once that he had lied, that there was a concealment in his words.
“Why on earth? Tell me, do you have another conspiracy.”
Yue Manshan said, “The fire, I didn’t put it there.”
There was something in his words, and I felt that he did not simply have the fire in the ancestral hall only.
I fiercely grabbed him by the collar and said without good grace, “You’d better give me a clear statement once and for all, if you keep squeezing like this, paragraph by paragraph, you’ll be waiting to die. Don’t think I don’t dare to clean you up, I’m not controlled by any jianghu covenant, even if there is a f*cking jianghu covenant, I’m not afraid of you.”
This son of a b*tch wanted to take my mother’s ashes back, he definitely had something underhanded in mind.
Yue Manshan was gasping for air, he was a little afraid of me and pushed me away with force.
I had to grab him again when Moon Man-bow grabbed my arm.
“You’d better be honest.”
Moon Mansan’s eyes were red, and he was quick to do so, not dragging his feet at all once he had decided to say it.
He said, “On the front mountain, there are people who want to burn the mountain, and they wanted to stall you at first, not because they were afraid you would come to my place and make trouble, but because they were afraid you would find out that someone was going to set the fire.”
I felt a buzz in my head, as if someone had slapped me on the head.
“It’s not good, Brother, there seems to be smoke on the front hill.” Xiao Gong rushed into the shrine and spoke to me at this time, despite his fear.
Yue Man Gong immediately took out his mobile phone and called the people from the Thousand Gate, while we walked out together. What had been a very small puff of smoke was by this time thick and rolling, like a black horrible monster.
Yue Manshan said, “The smell of smoke was supposed to be heavy at New Year’s Eve, and the nearby residents would set off a batch of firecrackers at eight o’clock sharp, they intended to take advantage of this time to set the fire, so that by the time the fire was discovered it would be too late to put it out.”
In my experience, this fire, with the wind, would soon be very big.
The moon full of bows said, “I can’t get through!”
“Go.” I said.
We were in a hurry to get to the front of the hill, my legs were not good, and Moon Man Bow took the lead, leaving us a long way behind and heading for the front of the hill first.
I wasn’t slow anymore, I was just more or less delayed.
As I walked, I asked Moon Manshan, “No, if it’s just these little things, there’s no need for you.”
Moon Manshan said awkwardly, “Kill Fullbow while there’s chaos.”
“Jiang Ming told you to do that? Are you stupid, Jiang Ming wanted to kill you and your father and you had to work for Jiang Ming.”
Yue Manshan didn’t answer me, but I could see why, in his mind, after all, Yue Man-bow was his rival.
All I can say is that Yue Manshan’s eyes are really too shallow.
I said, “No, since you were told to come to the ancestral hall to set fire to it, what are you doing here stealing ashes?”
“My dad and I thought that you could control Jiang Ming with this stuff.”
I was flooded with nausea and said, “Don’t you disgust me. He’s let you set fire to the ancestral hall, so what kind of tenderness do you think he has left to protect the ashes of a woman who’s already dead?”
Yue Manshan shook his head slowly, “That’s what you don’t understand. He’s ruined and just doesn’t want to be controlled, so I think we should be able to control him with this.”
I was so scared of Jiang Ming’s “lovey-dovey” sex with my mother that I was sick of hearing it, but this was new to me.
“What do you mean?”
“I think Jiang Ming is poisoned by your mother. He wants to kill you and forget about her, but he also loves her. That might be his weakness.”
I told him to stop.
A feeling of revulsion came over me.
“Who the f*ck are you disgusting?”
“You asked me.”
“Count me out.”
At this time, Zhao Zichen caught up and pressed Yue Manshan’s shoulder, who subconsciously growled low, “Don’t touch me, rat.”
Zhao Zichen sneered, “Even if I am a rat, I am better than you, a deceitful ghost. Where’s the stuff you took?”
“What’s that?”
“Which ashes for as long as it takes? But you haven’t seen you take anything since you and Shagwai found you, you said you were the one who came to get the ashes, where are the ashes?”
Yue Manshan shook his head and said, “No. There is no tablet of Zhang Chao’s parents in the ancestral hall.”
I was dumbfounded, “Are you sure?”
“I looked at them one by one.” Yue Manshan said again without good humour, “If I hadn’t been so preoccupied with finding the tablets, how could I have been victimised by a mongrel like you?”
“You!” Zhao Zichen shook his fist, and I hurriedly stopped Zhao Zichen before he fought with Yue Manshan, no, to be precise, I should say that I didn’t watch him send up to be beaten by Yue Manshan.
“Is that so?” I asked.
Zhao Zichen let out a long sigh and said, “Pretty much, after he finished the call, he stayed there looking at the tablet, and then I took the opportunity to put the ether.”
Xia Gehuai echoed, “I said what this kid was looking at, so he was looking at the tablet.”
Zhao Zichen and Xia Gehuai both said this, so they didn’t seem to be lying.
Wu Yi Yi said, “That doesn’t have to be right, the tablets of Master Zhang Jun and Uncle Yan Ran’s mother will definitely be there, there are tablets of our seniors in the Thousand Sects, unless some of them have to be buried in their own ancestral graves. Zhang Chao, is there a tablet of them in Tong City?”
I frowned and shook my head, “There isn’t even a grave. Besides, since Jiang Ming was asking people to come and burn the tablets here, that means their tablets would definitely be here, so why would my mother’s not be.”
Yue Manshan said, “Not only is your mother’s not there, your father’s isn’t either.”
Without waiting for me to speak, Wu Yi Yi said bluntly, “How is that possible? Senior Uncle Zhang Jun is a role model for our Thousand Clans, if there were no graves in the ancestral home outside, the Thousand Clans would absolutely erect plaques for them.”
“Have you ever seen one when you came to pay your respects before?” I asked.
Wu Yi Yi said, “That’s not true, I don’t like to pay respects.”
I silently spat out a sentence in my heart, I had thought of it long ago, asking you is the same as asking for nothing, but at this time, Xiaogong next to me said, “I have come here many times, but I really don’t remember Senior Uncle Zhang Jun’s. I thought that senior uncle Zhang Jun had an ancestral grave in a foreign country.”
What was going on here? It was a bit out of my comprehension and made my mind a muddle.
I was now faced with a very funny thing, if my parents’ tablet wasn’t here, where was it?
