What is mourning

The most luxurious coffin, the most extravagant tomb

High officials and dignitaries came to offer condolences, the funeral was like a joyous occasion, and cars lined up outside the house like a long dragon.
The living can die, but the dead cannot live.
In Wu Yinquan's memory, several years ago he had attended the funeral of the mother of the deputy general of the City Guard. The deputy general at that time was now the general of the city guard outside the city.

...It was already very popular at the time.
All the dignitaries, nobles, wealthy families and magnates of Yuecheng came.
Their jailer didn't even attend the feast at the front table, and none of them were allowed to enter, though they had brought gifts.
At that time, he thought this was the peak of his glory, wasn't it
He even dreamt that when his own mother died, he could have the same kind of scene.
Thus, when my mother dies, she will be able to rest in peace. Or perhaps I can say, "This son wasn't born in vain!"
For so many years, I've been striving to climb higher. Acting like a grandson to the warden, treating the prison guards as brothers, working diligently and faithfully... yet, after all these years, I'm still just a lowly head jailer.
He knew that the little jail was the limit.
He had no powerful connections outside and no extraordinary cultivation within. This was probably as good as it would get for him in this life, and his spirit dwindled. He began to muddle through, just going through the motions of life.
My mother's "honor" can only exist in my dreams.
But even now, even today, at this very moment.
Looking at it, there weren't many people gathered, but the streets were covered in offerings.

He suddenly couldn't stop his tears.
He suddenly understood what "honor in mourning" truly meant!
Some people died, but he is still alive.

Live in everyone's hearts.
Everyone hopes that Old Master Qin will not die.
Because it has always been people like Old Master Qin who have supported this world.
Let people see, even at the darkest and most desperate moments, that there is still light in this world.

Li Yang, the commander of the city guard at Yuecheng City Lord's Mansion, was loyal to the city lord but had no other merits.
He was average in terms of strength and intelligence. He often couldn't fathom the Mayor's thoughts.
But whatever the Lord Mayor says, he does it, without any discount, never slacking off.
Before he died, my father told me, "In your life, besides loyalty, you have no other virtues. But as long as you keep this one, it is enough."
Li Yang remembered this very clearly.
The lord had thought more than once about replacing him, but the most private matters were always entrusted to him first.
This is absolute trust earned through unwavering loyalty.
>
Li Yang personally oversaw the lockdown of Ze Ren Medical Hall, daring to guarantee that no one from the entire Ze Ren Medical Hall could leak the news.
Of course, things weren't so easy at first, but after he personally killed two people, the entire medical hall fell silent.
Only Qin Nianmin thought about running away again and again.

Climbing walls in the middle of the night, disguising himself as a guard...
He wished he could pretend not to recognize him and just kill him outright.
Yet, these are the people who cannot be killed.
>
To kill Mr. Qin's son, especially when this son has such a good reputation, will leave the common people pointing fingers at us.
Li Yang thought long and hard, but there was no good solution. He sent the person to the big prison out of helplessness.
In the big prison, there's never a wall to climb over, right An old bone like me isn't afraid of pulling a hamstring!
To avoid sullying the mayor's feathers, he turned to another party, specifically those in charge of handling such matters within the city guard.
As time has passed, Rong Guo's condemnation of Yang Guo has been publicly aired in the Eastern Region. Jia Cheng has also officially released information about the rat epidemic nationwide.
The mayor of Yuecheng also received a severe reprimand from the county government and finally decided to disclose the true situation facing the city.
Li Yang originally thought he could finally get rid of Qin Nianmin, this hot potato, and there was no need to block his messages anymore.
But at this time, he received an order from the mayor to kill Qin Nianmin immediately!
He didn't quite understand the mayor's thinking, but he did whatever the mayor said.
He needn't care whether he was willing or not, because he didn't need to have his own will.
To Li Yang's disbelief, in a heavily guarded prison like this, an elderly man with no strength to bind a chicken... actually escaped!
Just the day before he set out to kill in the big prison, chaos erupted within the prison walls.
For decades, the Yuecheng Great Prison, renowned for its tranquil atmosphere, was suddenly thrown into chaos as a riot erupted in the infamous "Di Zi Hao Private Room".
Dozens of convicts took prison guards hostage, broke through the cell doors, ran amok, and caused chaos, turning the entire prison into a mess.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The warden, relying on his extraordinary abilities, personally quelled the riot. When they took stock, they found that besides the two hardened criminals killed on the spot, not a single inmate had escaped. Only Qin Nianmin was missing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's as if the criminals, risking their lives to riot, were all doing it just to get this person out.
Li Yang couldn't believe it, not because the thing itself was so clever. It was just too meaningless!
These thugs in prison, going to all this trouble for something completely meaningless.
Even though the lord always called him a fool, he found it amusing.
>
The thing itself isn't hard to find out.
Apart from all the major criminals in the so-called "Earth Room," two people inside the prison were also involved.
A jailer named Ding and a prison guard named Wu were now completely stripped of their clothes and thrown into the cell. Whether they would be killed or punished was a matter for later.
Even though Qin Nianmin has escaped from the prison, it wouldn't be difficult to track him down. He is just an ordinary person who hasn't reached the extraordinary realm, and he is over fifty years old. Even if his legs are strong, where can he possibly run to
Just as the city gates were being closed, and a curfew was imposed throughout the region.
Even if one wasn't a fugitive, an ordinary law-abiding citizen couldn't get very far!

As the Commander of the City Lord's Mansion Guard, Li Yang naturally had unimpeded access throughout the Yuecheng territory, with support from all factions.
It was at this point that the true situation, which he couldn't comprehend, came about —
He found that as a transcendent cultivator, with the order of the Lord Mayor of Yuecheng in hand and the covert support of the official forces throughout the city, he had mobilized a large number of manpower but still couldn't catch Qin Nianmin.
The man resembled a small but agile fly. Li Yang could feel him buzzing around him, but he couldn't see where he was or catch him.
He felt an invisible force was subtly resisting his search, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
What power in the entire Yuecheng could possibly stand against the city lord's mansion
How is this possible
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After failing to capture the target, the Lord of Yuecheng flew into a rage and decided to make the pursuit public. He mobilized several of Yuecheng's most renowned superhuman bounty hunters to join the chase.
One of the constables had worked under an experienced head constable in Qi State when he was young, and his skills were both refined and cunning.
A small test allowed Li Yang to see the prowess of these cultivators who specialized in criminal law.
It was at this time that he realized that what had been preventing him from privately capturing Qin Nianmin all along wasn't some organization, but the common folk— peddlers, shopkeepers, innkeepers...ordinary and unremarkable people.
They spontaneously concealed Qin Nianmin's whereabouts, deliberately leading Li Yang and the others in the wrong direction.
This was something Li Yang had never encountered in his limited experience. Among these ordinary people, there wasn't a single one who posed a threat to him. But for some reason, he felt a chill run down his spine and a cold dread grip his heart.
Luckily, his fear was something that didn't need to be attended to, because he had no will of his own.
At least Qin Nianmin's whereabouts were now known.
Under the extraordinary methods of the super cop, Qin Nianmin was nowhere to hide.
When Li Yang followed the two extraordinary constables to catch up with Qin Nianmin, he realized that the latter had unknowingly escaped to the border of Yuecheng City.
Under the pursuit of extraordinary power, he almost escaped from here.
This is truly incredible for an ordinary 50-year-old!
This can simply be called a miracle created by ordinary people.
But after all, it was just a little short.
Sometimes, a step away can be a chasm.
"Qin Nianmin!" Li Yang shouted towards the old man's back, "You can't escape! Come back to the city with me and await the lord's judgment!"
>
He was ordered to kill Qin Nianmin, but it wasn't convenient to do so in front of several extraordinary constables. All in all, let's just bring him back first and deal with it later.
Qin Nianmin's body visibly trembled.
Turn around and look back.

His once well-maintained face was now gaunt and frightening, but his expression remained resolute, showing no sign of despair.

"You are all from Yuecheng as well!" he shouted. "Don't you know what is happening in Yuecheng right now Shouldn't someone be responsible for this Where is your conscience Where is your humanity!"
Two extraordinary constables looked at each other, they of course knew about the plague that had erupted now. But the source was in Jiac City, and as a neighboring city, Yue City being infected was inevitable.
As for responsibility... the City Lord of Jiacheng heard that he was already killed, what else is there to be responsible for
They suspected there was something more to this, after all, sending them out to hunt down an ordinary person felt off. But it was just suspicion, as worldly-wise as they were, they wouldn't show it.
One eye open, one eye closed, the years pass peacefully, and the world is prosperous.
>
Only Li Yang understood what Qin Nianmin was saying.
When the plague broke out in Yuecheng, Mr. Qin was the first to learn about it. The reason why the situation has deteriorated to second only to Jiac City is precisely because of the inaction of the Lord of Yuecheng!
That's why he couldn't let this person speak any more.
Just plunge forward, and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense here! If there's any grievance, settle it at the government office!"
Just an ordinary old man, not even a challenge, is he
Just at that moment, a sheathed long sword blocked their path.
This is a sword that can amaze one at first glance, its blade nearly piercing its scabbard.
>
Though still sheathed, the sword sang on its own.
As if it too couldn't contain itself, it also straightened its spine and let out a voice.
>
A person is like a sword, and when injustice occurs, they cry out!
I don't know why, but lately, whenever I hear the phrase "spreading rumors and causing chaos"... it just makes me feel uncomfortable!
A clear voice said so.assed the universe.The emperor is like a dragon, with only half of his scales and claws visible outside the clouds.When the candle burned out, the Emperor sighed and said to his minister, "I have alwa...
