Chapter 109 Wu

On the river surface, after everyone bowed to each other, the boat continued southward.

Soon, they arrived at the port of Fushan City.

However, when Lu Heng and the others arrived, the bustling port that Huo Feng had mentioned was now deserted.

Although the lights were bright, not a soul could be seen inside or outside the port. The empty streets and houses seemed inexplicably deserted.

However, Lu Heng and others didn't take it seriously. They disembarked directly from the boat and walked ashore along the empty streets towards the open city gate.

Because this empty street scene was what Lu Heng requested.

Originally, the wizards from the Fire Temple were preparing to welcome him in this port.

But Lu Heng didn't want to be treated like a mascot and wasn't interested in the grand welcoming ceremony, so he asked He Lanzhen to clear the place.

After all, he had entered the city on this trip and had no complete plan for what to do next. Lu Heng did not want to let the residents of Fushan City know of his existence in advance.

Otherwise, there may be obstacles in your next actions.

After leaving the port, Lu Heng and the others did not enter the city directly from the north gate. Instead, they circled around the outside of the city and finally entered from the south gate.

This was He Lanzhen's temporary change of schedule after learning about Lu Heng's thoughts.

She saw that the Wolf God did not want the residents of the city to know of his arrival, so he acted in secret.

The group then entered the city in a low-key manner, and without attracting any attention, Lu Heng arrived at the temporary residence prepared for him by He Lanzhen.

——A quiet courtyard behind the Fire Temple.

After a somewhat simple ceremony, He Lanzhen and the others left the courtyard.

The servants originally prepared for the Wolf God in the courtyard were also dismissed in advance. Lu Heng and his group were the only ones in the small courtyard where Lu Heng and the others were.

Huo Feng stood in the courtyard, stretched out, and said with a smile, "I can finally get some sleep tonight."

After saying good night to Lu Heng, Huo Feng went to his room and prepared to rest.

The little Gu Eagle flapped its wings and followed. After a while, Huo Feng's voice came from the room.

"It's okay to live with me, but you have to promise that you are not allowed to touch my fat little bird... Do you understand?"

"Wow! Wow!"

On the silhouette of the window, the little Gu Eagle kept nodding, making assurances to Huo Feng, so Huo Feng agreed that the Gu Eagle would sleep with him.

After Huo Feng and Little Gu Diao went to bed, Lu Heng did not enter the house. Instead, he sat in the small courtyard and looked through the Wu clan information that He Lanzhen and others had prepared in advance.

Among these books are the future genealogy of the Wushi family, the land deeds controlled by the Fire Temple, some of the Wu family's major transaction vouchers in recent years, and the newly written summary of the Wushi family's experience.

Several thick books were densely filled with words, and it was obvious that He Lanzhen had prepared very seriously. Lu Heng only had to flip through these pages, and he gradually understood the major and minor events that the Wushi of Fushan City had encountered in recent years.

I also have a deep understanding of Wu Chonggu's descendants and their current situation.

But the more Lu Heng looked down, the more complicated the expression on his face became.

A whole night passed, and the man in white in the courtyard still didn't leave.

At dawn, Huo Feng yawned and walked out of the house. When he was about to wash up, he saw the Wolf God still sitting in the yard, holding a book in his hand, staring blankly into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xiao Ai was sitting cross-legged next to the Wolf God's body, practicing attentively while also watching over the Wolf God.

Seeing this scene, Huo Feng immediately understood that the Wolf God had not slept all night. And judging from the Wolf God's expression, it seems that he has encountered something distressing?

Huo Feng was very surprised. Would the Wolf God also be in trouble?

But he didn't dare to disturb, let alone ask. Cautiously, Huo Feng retreated into the room. He didn't even dare to wash up, for fear of disturbing the wolf god's purity.

In the quiet courtyard, Lu Heng sat quietly in the pavilion, lost in thought. Until the morning sun pierced the sky, Fushan City, which had been silent all night, gradually became lively, and Lu Heng finally woke up from his meditation.

Looking at the sunshine in the eastern sky, Lu Heng sighed and said, "Wushi's situation is really a bit troublesome..."

After thinking about it, Lu Heng said, "Xiao Ai, you go buy some firewood later. In the afternoon, go to Wu's house for me to attend the funeral of Old Mrs. Wu."

"By the way, let's see how the Wu brothers are doing."

Lu Heng's words made the little girl sitting next to Bai Lang open her eyes.

She stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "Xiao Ai, I obey."

This scene was seen by Huo Feng in the house, but he was also confused and didn't know what happened.

The little Gu Eagle squatted beside him, looking at the small courtyard outside with the same curiosity. It's just that the little guy's simple little brain is even less likely to know what's going on.

At the same time, in Fushan City, the mansion of the Wushi clan was covered with white spiritual flags. Sad music resounded in the mourning hall.

The guests who came and went all carried the firewood they brought and handed it to the Wushi people at the gate in person before going to the mourning hall to worship.

Huotong country advocates cremation, and even the funeral customs of the wealthy families in this city are not much different from those of the villagers in Hanyu Mountain.

After the death of the deceased, a mourning hall is built, and after receiving relatives and friends from all over to express their condolences, the deceased is cremated and turned into ashes and scattered into the river at night.

Compared with the aquatic village outside Hanyu Mountain, the wealthy families in this city only have many more funeral guests and more sumptuous banquet dishes. Other than that, nothing special.

After all, there is no underworld in this world, nor is there any rumor of reincarnation. After death, people will directly dissipate from heaven and earth.

The so-called rituals that Lu Heng is familiar with do not exist in this world.

The purpose of building a mourning hall to receive relatives and friends is just to let relatives and friends see the dead person for the last time and say the last words in their hearts to him.

In one of the courtyards of the Wu family, there are now several young men gathered, all of whom are dressed in luxurious clothes. It can be seen from their behavior during the conversation that these young men are definitely not ordinary people.

At this time, a man came from outside with a smile, interrupted the conversation of the crowd, and said with a smile, "There is a piece of news, I am afraid you will not believe it."

"Oh? What news?" The words of the visitor made everyone stop talking, and they were all a little curious.

The man did not keep everyone's appetite, and smiled and said, "In the small courtyard behind the Fire God Temple, there was an outsider staying last night!"

The visitor did not say which small courtyard it was, but when he said so, everyone present understood clearly.

"Oh? That courtyard?"

"It seems that a big shot has come to our Fushan City?"

"Is he from the capital?"

Everyone asked curiously.

The man smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't know about this, but this morning Helan Wuzhu issued an order to all the old clans in the city. It said that outsiders are prohibited from snooping in that courtyard, otherwise they will be killed without mercy... After you go home, you should be able to hear the warning from your elders at home."

Such news made everyone look at each other in bewilderment.

"No snooping? Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy? Even when the king comes in person, there is no such a big deal..."

"Who is the big shot living in that courtyard? It makes Helan Wuzhu so nervous."

"It seems that a big shot who can't be offended has come to our Fushan City..."
