Chapter 283: Medical Prescription, Framing and Blaming

Autumn executions by day, collecting corpses by night.

Halfway through autumn, Xu Qing had already collected no fewer than a thousand corpses, the most numerous of which were the rebel partisans of the Cangyi Group and the Red Robe Sect.

During this period, no one from the Cangyi Group had ever come to claim these corpses. There were reasons for fearing exposure of their identities, but more importantly, the bodies were not easy to transport.

The government office had a shaman-like chief who specifically ruined things; the corpses refined by the Cangyi Group using evil arts were already useless. If they took the risk to retrieve them, they would still have to find a place to bury them.

Rather than that, it was better to ignore them and let the government office and the mortuary, which had official backing, dispose of them.

Besides these reasons, there was another key factor: the Red Robe Sect, which didn't see eye-to-eye with the Cangyi Group, had stationed itself in Jingxia Street.

Xu Qing was busy collecting corpses and never expected that one day the Red Robe Sect would move its stronghold right under his nose.

A few days ago, Xie Hongying of the Red Robe Sect suddenly came to his shop and, without a word, threw her money bag to Xu Qing.

At that time, the rather heroic young lady thanked Xu Qing, saying thank you for helping to collect and bury the children of the Red Robe Sect who had sacrificed themselves for justice.

What could Xu Qing say? He could only go along with the flow, saying that it wasn't easy for everyone to come to this world, and if they died without someone to bury them and dress their remains, it would be too pitiful.

And he was a soft-hearted person who couldn't bear to see such things happen. If he accepted Xie Hongying's silver, he would feel uncomfortable in his heart.

Xu Qing wasn't uncomfortable in his heart; he simply didn't want to get involved with these rebel elements at all.

Xie Hongying couldn't imagine that there was someone in this world who loved corpses so much. She heard Xu Qing's words, and the look in her eyes softened. Looking at that appearance, if it weren't for the fact that the great cause hadn't been completed, she would have wanted to carry Xu Qing away to be her mountain-stronghold husband!

It was not long after that day that the Yin energy in Jingxia Street suddenly increased by a few points.

The reason was that the red-robed women under the Red Robe Saintess of the Red Robe Sect had all moved to live next to the mute carpenter at the end of the street.

Next to the mute carpenter was an old courtyard, usually used to store some sundries; it was the courtyard of Boss Cha from the grocery store at the east end of the street.

Recently, every time Xu Qing passed by Boss Cha's grocery store, he could always see this person squinting his eyes, happily whistling and humming little tunes.

It seemed that after the old courtyard was rented out, he had earned a lot of silver and felt comfortable in his heart.

This day, Huang Xiaoliu came to Xu Qing in a trail of yellow smoke and reported, "Sect Leader, the Transmission Hall has already found out the background of the Red Robe Sect..."

Red robes like flames, sweeping away the treacherous and evil.

Thirty years after the founding of the Great Yong, after the Emperor Tianzhi passed away, this saying began to spread throughout the world.

Some said the Red Robe Sect was the reincarnation of the Red-Robed Judge, specializing in unjust matters in the human world; others said the Red Robe Sect was founded by a princess of the previous dynasty and an imperial guard instructor.

The reason was that the methods the Red Robe Sect used when fighting were exactly the same as those of the previous dynasty's imperial guards.

The imperial court had been suppressing the remnants of the previous dynasty for many years, stirring up the temple and the martial arts world until now, but the Red Robe Sect still had an orderly inheritance and had never been uprooted!

The successive Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Red Robe Sect, like the successive emperors of the Great Yong, all emphasized the legitimacy of bloodline.

By now, the Red Robe Sect had been passed down for twelve generations, and the new Saintess was Xie Hongying, who was only about twenty years old.

Xu Qing was somewhat surprised when he heard this.

The legendary "Menopause Saintess," who was said to have black hair tied with a silver crown, a plain face wrapped in red silk, and who killed without blinking, looking like a female Rakshasa, was actually a young woman of peach-and-plum age waiting to be married?

Huang Xiaoliu stood up, crossed its paws, and said in a voice like a young child, "The members of the Red Robe Sect claim that when the Emperor Ai of the previous dynasty died by hanging, he had the imperial guard instructor take his youngest daughter, who was still in swaddling clothes, to escape from the capital."

"And the successive Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Red Robe Sect are the descendants of that princess of the previous dynasty."

Princess of the previous dynasty...

Xu Qing subconsciously thought of Sai Yuxian. The memory of that woman was too profound for him; even after so many years, he still couldn't forget her.

A country's worth of corpses...

Xu Qing clicked his tongue and ordered, "The country is unstable recently, and the world is in turmoil. The Transmission Hall must be operated; we must not miss any important intelligence."

Seeing that Huang Xiaoliu agreed but still refused to leave, Xu Qing raised an eyebrow, "Something else?"

The little yellow weasel said somewhat embarrassedly, "Sect Leader, Xiaoliu wants to ask for an appetite-stimulating and health-strengthening prescription for my grandfather..."

Huang Laoxu?

Xu Qing's eyes lit up, and he asked with great concern, "What happened to Fellow Daoist Huang? Is he unwell?"

Huang Xiaoliu sighed, "The day before yesterday, my subordinate returned to Huangtiao Mountain to visit my grandfather's hall. Grandfather is very concerned about the Sect Leader's health, but when I mentioned that the Sect Leader's health is very good, not having aged at all like several years ago, Grandfather sighed and said that his legs and feet are no longer as nimble as they used to be..."

"When my subordinate returned, Grandfather didn't even want to eat his favorite crooked-neck little phoenix."

This old man...

Xu Qing and Huang Laoxu had always had conflicting views; how could he not understand the other's thoughts?

That old yellow weasel was just hoping that the Cat Immortal Hall would break up quickly, so that his great-grandson Huang Xiaoliu could take the advanced experience of the 'human' management hall and lead the Yellow Immortal Hall to become the number one in Jinmen.

It turned out that it wanted to take all the cheap advantages!

Xu Qing smiled and took out two mushroom spores, one "Dream-Leaving Mushroom" and one "Immortal-Becoming Mushroom."

He combined the two spore powders into a ball, wrapped it in paper, and handed it to Huang Xiaoliu.

"Your grandfather is just too repressed. Have him eat this medicine I prescribed, and it will definitely be a cure!"

Huang Xiaoliu accepted the medicine bag as if it were a treasure. Xu Qing specifically instructed, "Don't say it's a prescription I wrote. The old man cherishes his face and doesn't want to admit he's sick. Just sprinkle this medicine powder on the crooked-neck little phoenix and send it to your grandfather, let the old man be happy..."

Xu Qing watched Huang Xiaoliu bounce away from the shop with a gentle gaze, showing how much he cared for his employees.

Xuanyu saw Xu Qing's "kindness" and always felt that someone was going to be unlucky again.

In Xuanyu's eyes, only the smile of the Mother of Protection was kind and approachable, while the smile of Immortal Xu was completely untrustworthy.

For example, whenever others sent corpses and left, a happy smile would appear on Immortal Xu's face.

"What is that medicine powder?" Xuanyu seemed curious about everything.

"Health supplement, old people love to eat it, for psychological comfort, actually it has no practical use."

In the following days, Xu Qing went to the Water Gate Bridge villa. After this trip, he condensed thirty-two more Chang generals.

Added to the Chang generals from previous years, Xu Qing already had nearly two hundred Chang generals raised in his Chang flag. If these Chang ghost soldiers were released all at once, it would be no less than a mortal army of ten thousand, and every one of them was an elite soldier.

"There are soldiers in the world of the living, and ghost soldiers in the underworld. If these Chang generals were scattered into the underworld, I don't know how many ghost soldiers and ghost troops would follow..."

The principle that the strong are respected applies not only to the human world but also to the underworld.

The Ghost King of the Ghost King Mausoleum could gather a group of ghost generals and ghost soldiers for his own use because his own strength was strong enough.

If according to the strict hierarchy of the Yin River Ancient Road, one Chang general could at least deter hundreds of ghost soldiers. ===== CHAPTER 284 =====
