I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 109: The Wu Clan

On the river, after the people saluted each other, the boat continued to go south.

Soon, they arrived at the port of Fushan city.

However, when Lu Heng arrived, the bustling port of no night, as Huo Feng called it, was now deserted.

Although the lights were bright, no one could be seen inside or outside the port. The vacant streets and houses seem inexplicably empty.

However, Lu Heng didn't take it seriously, directly got off the boat and went ashore along the empty street towards the open city gate.

It because this empty street view was requested by Lu Heng.

Originally, in this port, Wizards of the Fire God Temple readily met.

However, Lu Heng didn't want to be seen as a mascot and was not interested in the grand welcoming ceremony, so he asked Helan Zhen to clear the venue.

After all, there is no complete plan for how he will act after his visit to the city. Lu Heng didn't want to let the residents of Fushan city know his existence in advance.

Otherwise, there may be obstacles in the next steps.

After leaving the port, Lu Heng and others didn't enter the city directly from the north gate, but instead walked around the city and entered from the south gate.

This is the itinerary temporarily changed by Helan Zhen after she knew what Lu Heng thought.

She saw that the Wolf God didn't want the residents of the city to know his arrival, so she acted discretely.

Later, the group entered the city in a low-key manner. Without any attention, Lu Heng arrived at the temporary residence prepared for him by Helan Zhen.

——A quiet courtyard behind the Fire God Temple.

After a slightly simple ceremony, Helan Zhen left the courtyard.

The servants originally prepared for the Wolf God in the courtyard were also dismissed in advance. Now Lu Heng is the only one in the small courtyard where they live.

Huo Feng stretched in the yard and said with a smile, "I can finally sleep on a bed tonight."

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

the little Gu Eagle fluttered his wings and followed. After a while, the voice of Huo Feng came from the room.

"It's OK to live with me, but you must promise that you will not touch this fat bird… Do you know?"

"Wow! WOW!"

In the silhouette of the window, the little Gu Eagle kept nodding and reassuring Huo Feng, so Huo Feng agreed that this Gu eagle would sleep with him.

However, after Huo Feng and the little Gu eagle slept, Lu Heng didn't enter the house, but sat in the courtyard and read the intelligence of the Wu Clan prepared by Helan Zhen and others in advance.

Among these books are the genealogy of the Wu Clan, the land lease under the control of the Fire God Temple, some large transaction vouchers of the Wu Clan in recent years, and the newly written profile of the experience of the Wu Clan.

The thick books were densely covered with words. It could be seen that Helan Zhen had prepared very carefully. Lu Heng only needed to read these pages, and then he could gradually understand the major and minor events encountered by the Wu Clan in Fushan city in recent years.

He also had a deep understanding of the descendants of Wu Chonggu.

But the more Lu Heng looks down, the more complicated expression appeared on his face.

The whole night passed, but the man in white still didn't leave.

At dawn, Huo Feng yawned and came out of the house. When he was ready to wash, he saw the Wolf God still sitting in the yard, holding a book in his hand, staring at the distance in a daze. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Xiao Ai sat cross knee next to the body of the Wolf God. While concentrating on cultivation, she was also waiting for the Wolf God.

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

Huo Feng was very surprised. Will the Wolf God also suffer?

But he dared not disturb the Wolf God, let alone ask. Cautiously retracting into the room again, Huo Feng dared not even go to wash, for fear of disturbing the Wolf God.

In the quiet courtyard, Lu Heng sits quietly in the pavilion, pondering in a daze. Until the morning sun pierced the sky, the hushed Fushan city 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, "The situation of the Wu Clan is really a headache…"

After thinking about it, Lu Heng said, "Xiao Ai, go and buy some firewood later. In the afternoon, go to the Wu Clan's mansion for me to attend the funeral of the Wu Clan's old master."

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

Lu Heng's words opened the eyes of the little girl sitting beside the white wolf.

She stood up, made a deep salute and said, "Understood."

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

The little Gu Eagle squat beside him and looked at the yard outside curiously. With the simple little brain of the little guy, it's even more difficult to understand what happened.

At the same time, in Fushan City, white flags were hung all over the houses of the Wu Clan. Mournful music rang out in the mourning hall.

All the guests who came carried the firewood they brought with them and handed it over to the Wu people at the gate before they go to the mourning hall to worship.

The Fire Pass Country advocates cremation. Even the rich and noble families in this city have no great difference in funeral customs from those villagers in Hanyu mountain.

After the death of the deceased, a memorial hall was built to receive relatives and friends from all over the world to express their condolences. At night, the deceased was cremated and turned into ashes, and scattered into the river.

Compared with the Shuisheng village outside Hanyu mountain, the rich and noble families in this city only have many more funeral guests, and the banquet dishes at the funeral are rich. Apart from this, there is nothing special.

After all, there is no netherworld in this world, and no legends of reincarnation. After people die, they will directly dissipate between heaven and earth.

The so-called Dharma that Lu Heng is familiar with doesn't exist in this world.

The reason the building of the memorial hall is only to let the deceased's relatives and friends meet the deceased for the last time.

In one of the courtyards of the Wu Clan, there were several young people gathered today, all of whom were well-dressed. Their behavior could be seen in their conversation and laughter. These young people were not ordinary people.

At this time, a smiling man came from the outside, interrupted the conversation of the people, and said with a smile, "I have some news. I'm afraid you won't believe it."

"Oh? What news?" The words of the visitor made everyone stop talking. They were all curious.

The man didn't want to arouse the people's appetite, and smiled and said, "There were outsiders in the small courtyard behind the Fire God Temple last night!"

The visitor didn't say which courtyard it was, but when he said, everyone present clearly understood it.

"Oh? That little yard?"

"It seems that we have a big man in Fushan city?"

"Is he from the capital?"

Everyone was curious.

The man shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know. But this morning, an order from Wuzhu Helan Zhen was spread to all the old clans in the city. It said that no one is allowed to spy on the courtyard, or there would be no amnesty… You should be able to hear the warning from your elders after you go home."

Such news made everyone look at each other in surprise.

"It's forbidden to spy? Otherwise, there will be no amnesty for killing. Even when the emperor came, there were no such things…"

"What kind of great power lives in the small courtyard? It makes Wuzhu Helan Zhen so nervous."

"It seems that we have a big man in Fushan city who can't be offended…"
