The Immortal Clan was established starting with the entry on the Dao of the Gou.

"Is there any news about Fang Yixun?" Ling'er asked.

"No." Jiang Yun shook his head. "There's no rush. Let's wait until Fang Yilong is buried."

"Alright then." Ling'er asked, puzzled, "Didn't my husband say he was going to the market to buy some vegetables? Why are you empty-handed?"

"The market is deserted; the landlord's family has made the whole market mourn," Jiang Yun said sarcastically. "How impressive."

"That's outrageous! Someone in his family died, does he expect the entire Qingshan Village to wear mourning clothes?"

Ling'er said indignantly.

"Don't get angry." Jiang Yun smiled indifferently.

"I just can't stand it." Ling'er stood in the courtyard, looked up at the sky, and said, "I'll go cook for the children."

"Um."

Jiang Yun nodded and went back to his room to peruse the Heaven and Earth Mystery Compendium.

This is the diagram of the universe.

You must read some every day and memorize it.

Otherwise, you'll regret not having enough knowledge when you need it.

……

At lunchtime.

An unexpected guest arrived at our home.

It turned out to be Zhao Xiao, the local official.

Behind Zhao Xiao followed a troop of soldiers.

As the landlord's steward, Zhao Xiao had to go into the village every year to collect rent from the tenants.

Jiang Yun has seen him often over the years.

However, since Jiang Yun was released from her tenancy, Zhao Xiao has never entered Jiang Yun's house.

I've come to visit today, but I don't know what brings you here.

"Butler Zhao."

Jiang Yun and Ling'er got up and walked to the front door.

They were not there to welcome Zhao Xiao.

She simply didn't want Zhao Xiao to enter her home.

Although it is unknown what Zhao Xiao's purpose is in coming here.

However, as soon as Jiang Yun saw Zhao Xiao, he had the idea of ​​finding out about Fang Yixun.

"Zhao Xiao is the local steward, so he must know whether Fang Yixun has returned or not."

"We'll try to get some information out of him later."

Jiang Yun quickly came up with an idea.

He asked without a smile, "Steward Zhao, is there something you need?"

"Master Fang Yilong will be buried in three days. All the men of Qingshan Village must attend his funeral," Zhao Xiao said sternly. "Anyone who dares not go will be punished later!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun and Ling'er exchanged a glance.

That landlord's family is really arrogant.

When someone in a family dies, all the men in the village are required to attend the funeral.

Do they really think they're the emperors of Qingshan Village?

Before Jiang Yun and Ling'er could speak...

Zhao Xiao added, "Furthermore, within seven days of the patriarch's burial, no celebrations or weddings are permitted in Qingshan Village. Even birthdays must be postponed!"

"I understand," Jiang Yun said calmly. "Master Fang was a blessing to Qingshan Village. Now that he has passed away peacefully, we should go and see him off."

After Jiang Yun finished speaking, he changed the subject: "I wonder if I will be able to see Master Fang Yixun on the day of his funeral. I have never seen an immortal in my life. If I could behold Master Fang Yixun's immortal countenance, I would die without regrets."

"Do you think you can just see our immortal master whenever you want?" Zhao Xiao said disdainfully. "The master didn't come before he died, and you won't see him after he dies either. If you want to behold the immortal master's face, you're just daydreaming."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun...

In an instant, he understood that Fang Yixun had not returned.

I'm afraid he's already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and has been conscripted by the Chu family; he's currently engaged in war.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.

"Alas, it seems I am unfortunate and have no chance to see the immortal face of Master Fang Yixun."

Jiang Yun sighed, took out one tael of silver, and stuffed it into Zhao Xiao's hand as a way of thanking him for bringing him such important news!

"Thank you for your hard work, Steward Zhao. Here's a small token of my appreciation."

Zhao Xiao accepted the silver with satisfaction, saying, "I'll gladly accept it. But don't blame me for not reminding you, you absolutely must attend the funeral for the master this time, or you'll be in big trouble."

"Thank you, Steward Zhao." Jiang Yun nodded gently.

"Go on, go on, I still need to notify the next company!"

Zhao Xiao waved his hand and led a troop of soldiers to notify each household.

"Husband, that landlord's family is truly domineering!" Ling'er whispered after Zhao Xiao left. "They actually made all the men in the village attend Fang Yilong's funeral. Could it be that the emperor died?"

"Emperors are always buried alive with their people, so what's a funeral procession?"

Jiang Yun was quite pleased to learn that Fang Yixun had indeed disappeared.

"That's true." Ling'er smiled and said, "My husband just asked him a few simple questions, and Zhao Xiao told him everything."

Ling'er understood what I just heard.

He knew that Jiang Yun's agreement to attend Fang Yilong's funeral was merely a formality.

The most important thing is to find out about Fang Yixun.

In Zhao Xiao's eyes.

Jiang Yun's family are just ordinary farmers; how could they possibly think of immortals?

They would never have known that Jiang Yun was preparing to deal with the landlord's family.

So Zhao Xiao revealed Fang Yixun's information without thinking twice.

"How would he know what we're up to?" Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes. "Since you want me to attend funerals, why don't you send a few more people off to their graves?"

"Send a few more people to their burial?"

Upon hearing this, Ling'er's eyes widened.

Is my husband about to make a move?

……

Zhao Xiao came specifically at noon to make the notification, just to ensure that someone was in each household.

After he left, the neighbors came out of their homes and gathered together to discuss the funeral arrangements.

Meng Chunmei and Fang Yu also went out, intending to talk to Jiang Yun about this matter.

Just then, I saw that a number of neighbors had gathered not far from Jiang Yun's house.

So they joined in.

"This is outrageous! How can such a thing be allowed? They have no relatives or friends here, why should they hold a funeral for Fang Yilong?"

"Exactly! We don't farm the landlords' land, and they expect us to attend funerals? Isn't that just bullying?"

"Even if someone is farming a landlord's land, there's no reason for the entire village to attend their funeral!"

"It's bad enough that there's a funeral, but they can't even have any happy occasions. Three days from now is an auspicious day for Fang Ninghao's daughter to get married. They've really had a terrible time."

"Sigh, with this happening, I'm afraid Fang Ninghao's daughter will have to change her wedding date."

……

The landlord demanded that all the men in Qingshan Village attend Fang Yilong's funeral.

Furthermore, they forbade any celebrations in the village, and even birthdays were forbidden.

In a sense, this was tantamount to the landlord's family making the entire village mourn.

Just as Ling'er said, the landlord's family was extremely domineering.

After exchanging a few words with her neighbors and venting her dissatisfaction, Meng Chunmei and Fang Yu entered Jiang Yun's house.

"Brother-in-law, sister," Fang Yu greeted them first, then asked, "Brother-in-law, are you going to Fang Yilong's funeral in three days?"

"Why should we go?" Jiang Yun said indifferently, "He's not inviting the whole village to a feast, it's just a funeral. Why should we go?"

"We can't afford to offend the landlord's family, so wouldn't it be a bad idea not to go?"

Fang Yu lowered his head and said with some difficulty.

He didn't want to go, but he was afraid of retaliation from the landlord's family.

So I came to ask Jiang Yun.

"You're spineless!" Meng Chunmei said angrily. "If I were you, I'd rather die than go!"

Jiang Yun chuckled softly, remaining silent.

He was unwilling to attend Fang Yilong's funeral three days later.

It can be used to send off the entire landlord's family at their funeral.

He was very happy to do so.
