Fortunately, the King of Zhenbei did not suspect Luo Jing, nor did he deliberately test him, so Luo Jing managed to get away with it.
Later, when they were halfway through the meal, Manager Ning came in hurriedly and delivered a quick message. After reading it, King Zhenbei's face changed slightly, obviously it was an urgent matter.
So the dinner ended hastily and the two said goodbye.
Luo Jing briefly described the situation, and Lu Li whispered in confusion: "Emergency? What kind of emergency could it be? Could it be that Mr. Minghan has passed away..."
In today's Haiyan City, it seems that the only thing that could alarm the King of Zhenbei is the death of his teacher, Mr. Minghan.
But according to the news, Mr. Minghan still has a month left before his life ends, right
During this time, the Tianshu Pavilion was arranging weddings and funerals.
For these practitioners who died of old age, their 200th birthday is also their funeral.
Basically, the practitioner will pass away on the night of his birthday, exactly on time.
Therefore, the monk’s 200th birthday is both a birthday banquet and a funeral, which is a special custom among practitioners.
However, there is still more than a month before Mr. Minghan passes away.
During this period of time, what else could happen in Haiyan City that would alarm King Zhenbei
Lu Li was confused, and Luo Jing was also puzzled.
But soon, the two no longer had to guess.
Because nine consecutive bell sounds came from the direction of the Heavenly Book Pavilion in the city, echoing throughout the city.
The nine bells mean that a great scholar has passed away...
Luo Jing and Lu Li quickly left the house and went outside.
The two of them shuttled through the shadows and soon arrived near the Heavenly Book Pavilion, where they saw the white banner hanging on the gate of the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
There were also many residents in the city who came to pay their respects and send off the deceased.
The scholars of the Heavenly Book Pavilion are highly respected and protect the area. The residents of Haiyan City have been cared for by the Heavenly Book Pavilion for many years. When every great scholar passes away, the soul of the people comes to see him off.
Standing in the shadows, Luo Jing looked at the gradually increasing number of people sending off the deceased on the street below, and his face did not look very good.
"Mr. Minghan passed away?"
He muttered to himself.
On the huge square outside the Heavenly Book Pavilion, there stand several sculptures, each of which is a contemporary university scholar.
However, the sculpture representing Mr. Minghan is now covered with black gauze and white cloth.
It is obvious that the Grand Secretary who passed away tonight was indeed the most famous Mr. Minghan.
Luo Jing couldn't understand why Mr. Minghan died suddenly.
It is impossible for such a great monk to die suddenly, as his fate is fixed.
Unless you are attacked and victimized.
But Mr. Minghan is recuperating in the Heavenly Book Pavilion. Who can harm his life
Luo Jing looked at the lights in the Heavenly Book Pavilion and knew that something big must have happened in the city.
No wonder King Zhenbei left in a hurry halfway through his meal with such an ugly look on his face.
Mr. Minghan's death was so sudden.
Luo Jing looked at the girl beside him and said, "I'm going to the Heavenly Book Pavilion. Don't come to see me during these few days of sending spirits."
As a member of the Heavenly Book Pavilion, Luo Jing must return to the Heavenly Book Pavilion and participate in sending the spirits off.
Although Luo Jing did not have much admiration for Mr. Minghan and had never even met him.
However, as a handyman in the Heavenly Book Pavilion, he had to send the spirit off with his colleagues and could not be absent.
Without going back to change into servant's clothes, Luo Jing walked out of the alley in his regular clothes, passed through the crowded crowd and came to the gate of Tianshu Pavilion.
After showing his ID card, Luo Jing was let into the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
Outside, cries were heard intermittently. The people of Haiyan City really loved the Grand Secretary.
The departure of Mr. Minghan plunged the entire Haiyan City into an atmosphere of grief, with cries being heard from time to time.
However, it is much quieter inside the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
But Luo Jing was there and could clearly feel the solemn atmosphere.
The people passing by all had serious expressions.
Luo Jing also saw many unfamiliar outsiders who were not members of the Heavenly Book Pavilion. These people had dark skin, rough hair from the wind and sand, and were obviously northerners.
Luo Jing understood that this person was probably the King of Zhenbei's man.
Instead of running around in the Heavenly Book Pavilion, Luo Jing quickly walked to the courtyard where the servants usually took their lunch break.
In the small courtyard, apart from Li Kui, the leader of the servants, there were only a few other servants.
Seeing Luo Jing coming over, Li Kui took out a white mourning dress and handed it to Luo Jing, saying, "You're pretty quick..."
Luo Jing explained casually: "I was just wandering around and came here immediately after hearing the bell."
As a cultivator, Luo Jing's speed of arrival was naturally unmatched by other servants. He should be one of the first few to arrive.
While helping Luo Jing put on mourning clothes, Li Kui said, "We can't run around tonight. Stay here and wait for arrangements from above."
A servant nearby asked, "Boss, what's going on? Why did Mr. Minghan pass away suddenly? Isn't there still more than a month left?"
"Yeah, boss, what happened?"
The servants were all very puzzled.
The chores in the yard were mostly new arrivals, and they just lived nearby so they could come early.
Facing everyone's doubts, Li Kui shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened. Anyway, I was sleeping well, and suddenly something happened."
"Anyway, we are just small fry, so tonight's events have nothing to do with us. Don't run around, act in a group, and just follow my instructions."
"The Heavenly Book Pavilion may not be peaceful tonight. You should have noticed when you came in that the entire Heavenly Book Pavilion has been sealed off, and there are many people from the North."
"It is probably Mr. Minghan's eldest disciple, the King of Zhenbei, who has arrived."
While Li Kui was speaking, other servants came in one after another.
Everyone started talking at once, but they all lowered their voices and didn't dare to be too noisy.
Mr. Minghan's sudden departure was so abrupt that everyone was puzzled.
The arrival of King Zhenbei was also big news for these servants.
After all, the King of Zhenbei is the second most important person in the current Divine Dynasty.
Although the current Prince of Zhenbei is not as powerful as the old prince, the four words "Zhenbei Palace" are the highest honor of the empire.
Especially now that the empress is old and confused and the court is in chaos, the Prince of Zhenbei has done nothing, but his reputation among the people is getting better and better.
Luo Jing looked at the noise outside and couldn't help but ask.
"Boss, it's so chaotic right now, have the three holy places sent anyone?"
"Something like Lingyun Immortal Sect... Those holy land immortal masters should also come to the Heavenly Book Pavilion, right?"
If Qingxuan came to Haiyan City at this time, it would be impossible for her not to show up for such a big event as Mr. Minghan's return...
It just so happened that I was also in the Heavenly Book Pavilion at this time, and the Heavenly Book Pavilion was completely closed, so the descendants of the Heavenly Demon should not be able to get in.
I feel like this might be a perfect time to meet...
Thinking of this, Luo Jing suddenly became agitated.
