From a funeral boss to a taboo giant

Great Xia Year 666, Jingkang Year 10 Autumn.

Tianyun State, Guangqing Prefecture, Minggu County.

September was the time when the autumn tigers wreaked havoc.

As soon as the cold morning passed, the scorching sun turned this 200-year-old southwest county into a big steamer. It was stuffy and unbearably hot, making people feel annoyed. They wished they could stay in the ice hole.

However, Wu Tianliang was full of joy and did not mind the heat. He was dressed in black and his hair was combed back. He went out under the scorching noon sun.

Even if he was about to carry someone's coffin and be stained with bad luck, it could not stop his burning heart.

He was a well-known figure in the funeral industry in Gu County.

Under normal circumstances, he would not personally help his customers with funerals or even lower himself to carry coffins.

Unless the customer had enough money and the noodles were big enough!

And this time, the customer.

Old Master Zhao, the richest man in Gu County.

Clearly, he was not short of money or face. He had the qualifications and the status to let Wu Tianliang personally handle the funeral. He could let him have a grand burial and enjoy the top-notch funeral service.

"Black Dragon Coffin Lifting, Burial Mound Dancing, Suona Sky Orb…All of them are the highest quality set meals. Tsk tsk, if we do this business, even if we don't open for business for three years, we can still eat big fish and meat."

As Wu Tianliang rushed to the Zhao Residence in the inner city, he calculated the profits from this trip. The more he calculated, the wider his smile became. It was as if he had already seen a mountain of gold and silver waving at him.

"Ah, Sa Rilang!"

Plop ~

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, a woman in disheveled clothes suddenly jumped out from a dark alley by the street.

He screamed and screamed, and in a panic, he ran into Wu Tianliang. The smell of low-quality makeup rushed to his nose, making him choke.

"Are you blind!"

Wu Tianliang steadied himself and quickly tidied up the suit and leather shoes that he had custom-made in the tailor shop. He then tidied up his meticulous slickback hair before raising his head to look at the crazy woman rushing into the downtown area. He could not help but curse.

"I'll go!"

But before he could calm down.

When they turned around, they saw seven or eight beggar's chickens in light clothes rushing out of the dark alley. They were screaming as if they had lost their minds, as if some wild beast was chasing them in the alley.

Wu Tianliang did not understand. He reached out and grabbed an old man who was running out with his belt. He asked curiously,"Are the people from the Celestial Worship Division aiming for performance? Why are they so ruthless?"

The Heaven Offering Division was a department that managed the businesses in various places in Great Xia. It was directly under the Ministry of Revenue and had branches in various places. It was usually responsible for supervising the market, issuing business permits, collecting taxes, and punishing people.

For example, the woman who had just run out to sell Beggar's Chicken was operating without a license. Her customers were mostly poor old men and hungry slackers, so she was also nicknamed Old Man Le.

Every once in a while, the Heaven's Offering Department, which wanted to improve their performance, would take advantage of these old men and often chase after them.

"Huff huff…No…No, I heard that the constables are here. There are some thugs wreaking havoc inside, so everyone ran outside."

The old man had obviously just dismounted from his horse. His legs were still trembling, and he was out of breath when he spoke.

Constable?

Murderer?

Wu Tianliang looked at the old man who had gone far away and then looked at the dark alley. He could vaguely hear the sound of cursing and fighting. He was frightened and quickly left.

The constables were the violent department of the county government.

They would not care about trivial matters at all. They would only be involved in criminal cases that involved blood.

Ta!

"Unauthorized personnel, please leave!!"

However, Wu Tianliang had only taken a few steps.

Constables dressed in black uniforms and bailiffs armed with sticks and shields were seen aggressively crossing the street. As they dispersed the people, they rushed towards the restaurant on the street.

From time to time, people could be seen jumping out of the windows of various floors in fear. They did not even have time to put on their clothes, and there was chaos everywhere.

"What's going on? Are bandits entering the city?"

Wu Tianliang, who cherished his life like gold, was dumbfounded. He quickly left the street.

He was so confused that he could only vaguely see constables on the street. The strong people rushed into the buildings and then fought. The murderer who caused the riot could not be seen.

"That's?!!"

Suddenly, his pupils contracted violently.

Through the window of a restaurant, he could vaguely see a big man who looked like a bloody gourd pouncing on a strong man and then biting him like a mad dog.

Pa da.

With a soft sound, the window closed for some reason, blocking Wu Tianliang's line of sight.

"Hiss, he's really vicious. He even used his teeth."

Wu Tianliang shuddered. He was certain that a group of outlaws had run into Ming Gu City and had been reported, which was why the county's violent department had surrounded them.

Fortunately…

This riot seemed to be limited to the street of fireworks and did not spread to the entire city, causing too much panic.

After the shock, Wu Tianliang only treated it as a small wave in his ordinary life. He continued to rush to the wealthy district in the inner city and did not take it to heart.

He had been reborn for more than twenty years.

Wu Tianliang was already very certain that this world was an extremely ordinary ancient world.

There was no martial arts with blood and qi like dragons, no magic that could destroy the world, and no immortal cultivation that could live forever.

Therefore, even if this riot looked a little strange, he would not think that it was a demon or a ghost. Naturally, he was not worried that he would encounter any danger that human beings could not resist.

As for the murderer.

Then there was even less to worry about.

It had been more than 600 years since the founding of Great Xia, and it was the height of its glory.

The four seas bowed, the soldiers were strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. There was no such thing as the end of the dynasty and the chaotic scene of the struggle for power.

Another one.

In this world where there were no miracles, seven or eight adults could take down a martial arts master with their blades.

Wu Tianliang was born with a sturdy body and was 1.9 meters tall. He had been conscious and trained regularly since he was young. He dared to fight with local ruffians at the age of eight. Wu Tianliang, who had raised a body of muscles, was not afraid of any ruffians when fighting alone.

"Sigh, being ordinary is also a kind of cage."

Along the way, Wu Tianliang sighed.

As a transmigrator, he had also thought about killing demons with his flying sword and conquering the world with his martial arts after his rebirth. At the very least, he would have to wander the world and settle his grudges.

It was a pity.

This world was too ordinary. It was already a luxury to have one versus ten martial arts, let alone immortal cultivation.

As for the cheat…

Wu Tianliang thought of the mysterious big light ball in his mind that he had tried all kinds of methods but did not move. He shook his head helplessly.

"Master Wu, everyone is here."

While Wu Tianliang was deep in thought, he had already arrived at the inner city gate. Eight rough men in custom-made imitation suits greeted him.

These brawny men were all old employees of the Wu Family's funeral procession. The leader, the black-faced, rough man, Chen Yong, had a life-and-death relationship with Wu Tianliang and could be considered brothers.

"I don't need to tell you how powerful the main family is this time."

Wu Tianliang nodded. He warned sternly,"I'll still say the same thing. Carry the coffin well and don't talk too much. As long as you send the old man up the mountain safely, Spring Breeze Brothel will definitely be yours."

"Hehe, brother, don't worry. I can lift Old Master Zhao's few pounds of bones with one hand. There won't be any problems."

Chen Yong rubbed his shiny forehead with his rough hand.

He was seventeen or eighteen years old, but he looked like an old bear in the forest. He spoke in a low and muffled voice. He was straightforward and had a hint of foolishness.

This guy had broken his brain when he was young. All these years, Wu Tianliang had visited famous doctors but could not cure him. In the end, he had no choice but to give up with the consolation of "stupid people have stupid luck".

"When we reach the Zhao family, you're not allowed to speak without my permission!"

Wu Tianliang listened to Chen Yong's unbridled words and sternly warned him.

If he let this fool talk nonsense at the funeral, his shop would probably be torn down the next day.

"Oh."

Chen Yong was shocked. He covered his mouth with his big hand and nodded seriously. He did not dare to disobey Wu Tianliang, who was like a brother and father to him.

"Let's go!"

Wu Tianliang tidied up his clothes again, took out a bull horn comb, and wiped his slickback hair. With a wave of his hand, he brought the eight Black Vajras into the inner Urban area.

Behind the tall inner city wall.

It was a quiet, spacious residential area.

The ancient trees were dense, and the flowers and plants were fragrant.

At the end of the wide bluestone roads, there were luxurious and ancient mansions. The overall layout was similar to the villas in his previous life. Naturally, the people living there were either rich or noble.

"No matter how the world changes, all things are inferior. Only the golden and silver iron has never changed."

Wu Tianliang looked at the large houses that he might not be able to afford even if he did not eat or drink for half his life. He clicked his tongue and sighed, his heart filled with envy.

"Master Wu, do you smell blood?"

As he was fantasizing, a man with a scar on his face frowned and whispered into Wu Tianliang's ear.

Hmm?

Wu Tianliang came back to his senses and sniffed. Indeed, he could smell the faint scent of blood in the air.

However…

However, he did not take it to heart.

"These high-ranking officials and nobles go out of the city to hunt every two or three days. They might be dealing with some game."

"Beast blood doesn't have such a strong fishy smell…"

The burly man muttered softly, but when he saw Wu Tianliang's slightly narrowed eyes, he tactfully retreated.

"Are you stupid?"

"You can even tell that it's not beast blood." His companion scolded the man in a low voice."Master Wu, who has dealt with the dead for so many years, can tell that it's not beast blood."

"Then…"

"What about that? Don't you think about what kind of people live here? Whether it's murder or homicide, can ordinary people like us afford it?"

"Sigh, that's right. Master Wu still understands life."

……

He listened to the whispers of his employees.

However, Wu Tianliang was not so carefree. Instead, his brows were tightly knitted.

The strange riot on the street of fireworks, the smell of blood in the inner Urban area, the peaceful life, and the sudden encounter of two life-threatening events, he could not help but let his imagination run wild.

Especially when he thought of the terrifying figure that pounced on the bailiff and bit him like a demon at the street of fireworks, he felt a wave of panic.

He had a feeling that something big was about to happen, and it would disrupt his peaceful life that he had lived for more than twenty years.

"It's an illusion."

Shaking his head, Wu Tianliang stopped thinking and quickly left the area.
