Wanbao Lady

Chapter 303 Death by Poison

When Qi Sheng woke up in a daze, he found himself lying in a wooden house.

Although the layout of everything in the wooden house was slightly different from before, it gradually brought back his childhood memories.

I didn’t expect that after all these years, Grandpa Jiang’s house hasn’t changed much!

Qi Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He vaguely remembered that the further he ran, the more dizzy his head became and the more pain his body felt. He ran entirely on his memory and his last breath, and finally reached the woods in front of Dashi Township before he completely passed out.

Looking at the bedside again, the two brothers who had followed him to Wadang County and were left behind in his hometown because of the martial arts competition were sitting together in a depressed mood, sighing and secretly wiping away tears.

"Cough cough."

Seeing that he woke up, they were immediately surprised, their eyes lit up, and they immediately held his hands.

"Boss! You finally woke up! I thought..."

Before one of them could finish his words, the other one stopped him in time, turned to look at him and said, "Brother, it's good that you wake up, it's good that you wake up."

He held Qi Sheng's hands tightly with both of his hands, and everything was said without words.

After a while, an old man in gray linen clothes walked into the room tremblingly, supported by a young woman.

The memories of his childhood suddenly came to his mind, and Qi Sheng couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Grandpa Jiang!" He wanted to sit up and take a better look at this elder, but he was too weak to do anything and could only lie heavily on the bed.

At the same time, his internal organs were in extreme pain, causing Qi Sheng to frown.

"Hey! Lie down quickly and don't move!"

The old man could not help but quicken his pace, and pressed him down on the bed again. Then he carefully looked at his current appearance, and his eyes suddenly filled with tears, his voice choked with sobs, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."

The old man wiped his tears with his sleeves, and his gray linen clothes were immediately stained with tears.

Qi Sheng felt even worse when he saw this.

He turned to look at the young woman beside the old man, and couldn't help but sigh, "This must be Xiaoqing, she has grown so big in the blink of an eye."

When the woman heard this, tears welled up in her eyes and she nodded, "It's me, Brother Qi."

At this time, one of the men guarding the bed said, "Doctor, please take a look at my brother. How is he now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the old man slapped his head, and then carefully felt Qi Sheng's pulse.

The next moment, his lips trembled and his eyes were full of sorrow.

Seeing this scene, what was there for everyone to not understand?

The two martial artists' faces immediately changed, and they were in extreme disbelief.

"Boss..."

"Brother..."

The two of them immediately prostrated themselves before his bed, weeping bitterly.

Unexpectedly, the man lying on the bed was not sad at all. Instead, he shouted in a low voice: "Why are two grown men crying? Don't cry... Everyone will die one day, sooner or later. Anyway, in eighteen years, you will be a brave man again!"

Qi Sheng's face was pale, his lips were dark purple, his forehead was covered in sweat, veins bulged, and he said bitterly, "It's a pity that I chose the wrong person and ended up like this, cough cough cough cough..."

The next second, he vomited blood, staining the quilt bright red.

"Xiao Sheng!"

"Brother Qi!"

"Boss!"

"Big brother!"

The four of them immediately gathered around his bed, anxious and in pain, yet helpless.

"It's all Grandpa's fault for not being able to cure you! I finally got back, but..."

The old doctor held the hand of the person in front of him tightly, tears streaming down his face.

This is the younger generation he watched grow up. When they were naughty as children, they would come to him for treatment for injuries and bruises. They are not a grandfather and grandson, but they are better than grandfather and grandson.

But the child had been away for many years and had finally come back. Before he had time to be happy, his old bones had to see his child off.

How can I not feel heartbroken!

Looking at a room full of people in tears, Qi Sheng felt heartbroken.

The poison was too strong and he knew that he didn't have much time.

It's just a pity that he didn't die honorably in a duel, but was killed by a villain! What a shame!

It was all because he trusted Murong Zhuo too much, and thought that if he could have a confidant in life, he would have no regrets.

In order to express his importance of this competition, he also deliberately rejected the kindness of his two brothers to go with him, and asked them to go to his hometown in Dashi Township first to prepare a banquet for him so that they could celebrate together when he returned.

But he didn't expect that Murong Zhuo would turn around and sell him out!

I suddenly felt angry and hateful.

With this anger, the poison attacked his heart, causing him to vomit blood and it was obvious that he was dying.

"Woo, woo, woo, Boss, we should have gone with you!"

"It's our fault, it's our fault!"

Seeing the two crying and regretting, Qi Sheng felt a blockage in his throat and said with a weak breath: "It's none of your business... Don't blame yourself... After I die... bury me... at the highest point of the Hanging Coffin Cliff..."

Dashi Township in Wadang County is located at the foot of the Wadang Mountains. There is a tradition here from generation to generation that after a person dies, he is not buried in the ground, but put into a coffin, which is then placed on a high cliff.

In addition to preventing intrusion by humans and animals and protecting the peace of the dead, more importantly, this is the attachment of Dashi Township’s ancestors to the mountains, and it is used to entrust the souls of the dead.

Legend has it that the higher the coffin is hung, the more blessings the deceased will have and the better he or she will be able to bless the living.

Over time, more and more coffins were hung on the nameless cliff near the village, so it got the name Hanging Coffin Cliff.

Qi Sheng was born in this land and spent a carefree childhood. Later, both his parents died, and he did not want to bring trouble to his fellow villagers, so he went out alone to make a living. Fortunately, he was accepted as an apprentice by a martial arts master and learned good kung fu.

After wandering around the world for many years, he finally traveled through mountains and rivers, evaded the government's capture, and returned to his hometown, but he didn't expect to end up in this situation.

Qi Sheng still vividly remembered the kindness his fellow villagers had shown him when he was a child, but they died before he had the chance to repay them, and he felt extremely guilty.

Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of my eyes without me noticing.

Then, he died completely amid the crying of everyone.

-

After listening to the story of Qishan God, all the people and monsters in the temple sighed.

"After that, I wandered in the mountains in a daze. Later, by chance, I became a ghost cultivator. But I heard that Murong Zhuo actually became the City God of Yingping Prefecture after his death! Because of what happened back then, I didn't want to have any contact with him."

After hearing this, some people immediately began to speak up for Qi Sheng.

"How can such a person become the City God?"

"Is there some other reason?"

In the hall, Ruyu, who had just come to join in the fun, looked at everyone and immediately said, "I know a thing or two about Murong City God."

Hearing this, the other people and the monsters immediately looked at her, "In that case, please tell us quickly, Master Ruyu!"
