Chapter 722: Tomb Sweeping
Zhuài'er, and Jì Róng. This scene scared Nèiyè Shèng to death. 。Fortunately, it was rush hour on the streets outside the city, and no one paid attention to their carriage. They just brushed past him a...On the way up the mountain, Jiang Xiu was constantly making a fuss, crying and screaming, even trying to run away. 。It's a pity that the person holding her was Ji Du Ji Rong, how could she possibly let her run away. 。Seeing her making such a scene, Ji Rong asked Ye Wenyan for advice, suggesting either gagging her or knocking her unconscious. She was simply too much to handle. 。Night Wenyan did not agree, she told the people with her: “If she wants to shout, let her shout. It's a good opportunity for my grandfather to hear who’s arrived” 。My grandfather has been gone for more than half a year, and I occasionally dream that I can still see him. I know he is not willing to die in peace, and feels deeply wronged. So I always think that one day I will bring the culprit to his grave and offer incense to him. 。Today, finally it worked out. So I let her call out a few times more so that my grandfather knows. 。Jiang Xiuyi, upon hearing this, fell silent. Though she was still awkward and hesitant, she managed to walk more smoothly than before. 。Not many people from the Ye family went up the mountain, only a dozen or so, and they were all men. 。This is also Ye Wenyan's meaning, because what she has to do today is very bloody, she is afraid that the women will have nightmares after seeing it. 。Originally, the men weren't willing to let so many people come up. After all, this was a matter for the Night Clan in the capital city, and it wouldn't be good for the people of Ping County to know too much. 。But at night, visiting the grave is a big deal, it's always better to have more people witness it, you can't just quietly and secretly take care of this. 。Besides, Xu Jiangxiu went out of the house. In Ping County, a ancestral hall was opened and the family tree was changed. Many people in the clan didn't understand why this happened. Today, they finally understood the reason. 。He also reassured Ye Wen that those who could climb the mountain were all trustworthy and would never spread their family's affairs around. 。The chieftain was like this, and Ye Wen also didn't have any opinions. This was the last thing she did for the Ye family. After this matter was settled, she would no longer need to be distracted and could go directly south to the direction of Wuchang Sea. 。The Ye family's ancestral tomb was well-built, repaired not only by the Ye family themselves but also with silver allocated annually by the imperial court. 。Plus, the people of Ping County are down-to-earth and kind. Every year during the holidays, they spontaneously go up the mountain to pay respects to the ancestors of the Ye family, thanking this prosperous clan that has protected their land for generations, allowing them to live better lives than their predecessors. 。Although it rained this morning, the mountain road was still difficult to walk. Ye Wen and Shi Liyuan's magic skills have recovered somewhat, much better than the heaviest rain a few days ago. 。Yet, they still didn't use any magic spells. They walked step by step up the mountain, their legs covered in mud. 。Night Zhenwei's tomb wasn't the most impressive, after all, there were predecessors who overshadowed him. Even though he had made the most contributions to the country, he didn't dare to build a grand tomb. 。The grave of his beloved was beside him. His tombstone bore the inscription "Respectfully erected by filial son Feiyu." 。This is the first time Ye Wen has come to the ancestral tomb of the Ye family as Night Fourth Sister. Standing in front of the grave, compared to standing in front of the spirit tablet in the family shrine, the feeling is still different. 。The gentle rain, while soothing, also brought a touch of melancholy. 。Chief Night Encounter said, "When he was first buried, both young masters from the capital were present. But now that I think about it, perhaps the younger master also caused trouble for your grandfather, otherwise the stone tablet wouldn't have suddenly broken when it was being erected." 。>The tombstone you see now was set up later, and the person who set it made a mistake, only leaving your elder brother's name, forgetting both the second young master and the second old master. 。For this, I also scolded him, wanting to rebuild another tombstone. However, the person who makes tombstones, after doing it twice, no longer wants to do it a third time. Making tombstones is something that can only be done twice, not three times. Otherwise, it would be bad for both the dead and the living. 。As soon as we heard this, we gave up and no longer thought about moving the stone. 。Well, at least I didn't change it. 。" He wiped the tombstone while walking forward, using the clean cloth he had brought. Ye Wenyan saw this and took a piece of cloth to help wipe it as well. 。Not until the tombstone of General Ye Lao was wiped dry did Ye Feng say, "Why don't you wipe your father's one too!" Ye Wenyan glanced at the tombstone of Ye Zhigui. Although it had been raining these days, it could still be seen that the tombstone was cleaner than General Ye Lao's, as if someone had wiped it. 。She thought about this and asked, "Was anyone here the other day"Ye Feng was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head. "No one came. The big taboo is only until the fifteenth of July." 。As for your father's death anniversary, the clan members would come back and set up offerings and incense burners, bowing their heads in respect. 。"Ye Wen nodded, didn't say anything more, and didn't even wipe the grave for Ye Gui. He just turned around to take incense to pay respects to General Ye." 。Unfortunately, the rain started coming down harder at this moment, and the incense was extinguished by the rain as soon as it was lit. 。Ji Rong held her umbrella over to her, wanting to let her light the incense stick under its cover, but Ye Wenyan shook her head: "No need, it's already lit. If I put it in the incense burner now, it will go out again. I can't keep asking someone to stand here holding an umbrella for me." 。"Speaking of this, she suddenly glanced at Jiangxiu and then smiled, “I forgot, there are still people who can stand here with an umbrella. Then let's burn incense!”
She re-lit three incense sticks and kowtowed to the tomb of General Ye Lao three times. Then she inserted the incense into the incense burner and beckoned towards Jiangxiu: “My dear grandmother, come over here” 。Jiang Xiu trembled. Ye Wen called her grandmother again, this was definitely not a good thing. 。Just now she vaguely heard the sound of an umbrella, could it be that he wanted her to be his maidservant, making her hold an umbrella for Ye Wenyan
She was very unwilling and mumbled in her mouth: "No matter how I am with your grandfather, I am your grandmother. For you to let your elders hold an umbrella for you is inviting a lightning strike!" 。Shi Liyuan didn't like hearing this— "My future wife, the future empress of Beiqi, who beneath here could possibly shield her"Jiang Xiuxin shivered and dared not speak again. 。 Ji Rong handed her the umbrella in her hand. She instinctively walked towards Ye Wenyan, and then she heard Ye Wenyan say: "I called you over not to hold an umbrella for me, but to hold an umbrella for my grandfather." 。The continuous rain won't let me keep my grandfather out in it. You stand here and hold an umbrella for him, and you can also shield the incense from being extinguished. 。"Having finished his words, he glanced at Shi Liyuan. 。Shi Liyuan immediately understood his daughter-in-law's meaning. With a flick of his magic, the umbrella in Jiang Xiu's hand instantly doubled in size. The material also seemed to change, becoming more resilient than oiled paper and less likely to scatter. 。And Chiang Hsiu was also subjected to magic, as if immobilized, standing motionless before General Ye's tomb. She remained unresponsive to whatever anyone said, not even blinking her eyes. 。Some people were stunned and thought she had died suddenly, so they rushed forward to check her breath. 。< Upon closer inspection, there was still a hint of breath. I pushed again, but the person remained motionless, not even budging. > 。They found it quite strange, so Ye Wen said, "There's nothing strange about it. It's the Emperor's doing. He cast a spell on her that allows her to remain completely still in this pose, standing here and shielding my grandfather from the rain." 。Actually, she should be kneeling before her grave to apologize, but it's raining today. I think it's better to hold the incense sticks up. At least this way, we don't have to worry about them going out today when we offer incense. 。" This technique of establishing a form can last for ninety-nine eighty-one..." 。That's enough 。She lowered her head slightly, "It won't take too long, my grandfather is also bothering her, just eighty-one!" Someone asked, "What about after eighty-one Will you let her go" Feng Zhaolian then took over the conversation, "Let go A person standing outside for eighty-one hours, do you think she'll still be alive Once the binding spell is broken, she will naturally die. By then, you can send someone to collect the corpse." 。“
People looked at Ye Wen, saw Ye Wen nod, and then understood >>> 。One by one, the Ye family members burned incense on the ground. After finishing the incense, Fan Pingxian was finally pulled forward. 。Jiědu's foot kicked him in the leg, and he fell to his knees before the tomb with a thump. He was so frightened that he trembled uncontrollably and couldn't utter a word. 。Ye Wen stepped forward and said to the tombstone, "Grandfather, I've brought this person here. In a while, I'll cut off his head and use his blood to sacrifice your spirit. After that, everything about the Night family's past will be over." 。I think I've done my part for the Ye family. The rest of the way, they'll have to figure it out themselves. 。Perhaps there are still some things left undone, but those matters should not disturb your peace any longer. I shall leave you to it then. 。Grandfather, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You may have held grudges in the past and lived a miserable life, but those things are gone now. I hope you can let go of your anger and not dwell on them anymore. 。She took another half step forward, her voice lowered considerably. In the sound of the rain, only she could hear it clearly. 。She said, "I called you grandfather instead of Night General. I don't know if you are willing to acknowledge me as your granddaughter." 。
I have something to tell you, your most beloved granddaughter has come back to life. I hope this is also a comfort for you.
“She backed away step by step, until she reached the side of Shi Liyuan.” 。Then he asked the chieftain Ye Feng: "Will you take action" Ye Feng was taken aback, and immediately understood Ye Wen's meaning, which was to ask if he wanted the members of the Ye family to take action themselves. 。But when he looked at the Ye family members, each one with their heads bowed, it seemed like they were all too ashamed to even speak. 。So I told Ye Wen, "If the Fourth Miss has capable people around her, please have them take care of it! We are just ordinary people. The biggest killing we've ever done in our lives is slaughtering a few chickens. We really can't bring ourselves to kill people, even enemies, we wouldn't dare to lay a hand on them." 。“ Ye Wenyan nodded slightly, then ordered Ji Duo: “You come!” Ji Duo took the order without hesitation. He drew his long sword and swiped it toward Fan Pingxian’s neck. 。He struck this sword with great calculation, the blood spraying precisely onto General Ye Lao's tombstone. 。So, when you say "tomb sweeping," that's it, a complete and utter fulfillment. 。Fan Ping didn't cry out for help until the very end. He wasn't sure if he was scared speechless, or if he thought even shouting wouldn't make a difference. 。People did see that Chiang Xiu, who was standing under an umbrella, shed two lines of tears. Someone couldn't stand it and asked: "When the old man died, did you cry" Ye Wen recalled past memories and couldn't remember whether this old woman had cried or not. 。He probably howled a few times too, not sure if he cried. 。But none of that matters anymore. The past, the people, it all doesn't matter anymore. 。Fan Ping died, and Jiang Xiu's life was reduced to only eighty-one, still motionless. 。When she dies too, the grudges from our past lives will finally end. That way, I'll have fulfilled my promise to Night Four Sister. 。Although her body had long since warmed, for her, at this moment, the burden of the Ye family she had carried on her shoulders was finally lifted... cut open, it's painful. But you just have to grit your teeth and keep cutting until all the rotten flesh is removed, only then can you recover. 。So you don't have to feel ashamed either. What is tru...
