At this mont, Bai Changfeng and Xia Xin were both calm.
In fact, from a rational point of view, Qiu Min’s words made sense.
The feud between the two villages of Qiu Tang had been longstanding, just as Qiu Min said, and it was not sothing that could be easily resolved.
Perhaps, because of Qiu Guan and Chunyu, the feud would only intensify.
Getting married with such a deep-seated feud, their future days were likely to be tumultuous.
However...
Even if there was such a possibility, it did not justify the people of Qiu Tang killing others.
"Qiu Tang once said—"
Just as Bai Changfeng was sighing heavily, Jiangli looked at Qiu Min and spoke again.
"In your village, when soone died, you would set fire to the corpse. Since you’ve done this before, why not simply set Qiu Guan and Chunyu’s bodies on fire to prevent further trouble?"
Bai Changfeng and Xia Xin suddenly realized, right!
This issue had not been explained yet.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Min mumbled softly, "It’s not that we didn’t think about it, it’s that we didn’t dare—"
The village experienced frequent mysterious deaths, with the deceased in terrifying conditions, causing both villages to panic.
Everyone wondered if it was the vengeful spirits of Qiu Guan and Chunyu causing mischief.
They feared both Qiu Guan and Chunyu, and feared the mysteriously deceased would rise again or be controlled by Qiu Guan and Chunyu, or harm others again.
Then, an elder ca out and said that burning the corpses was akin to the ancient practice of grinding bones to ashes, which would eliminate all future worries.
Thus, from then on, if anyone under thirty died mysteriously, they would conduct cremations to quickly handle the bodies.
At that sa ti, so villagers indeed suggested burning Qiu Guan and Chunyu’s bodies to prevent future troubles.
The two villages rarely ca together to discuss this matter.
Many were tempted.
But...
Nobody dared to actually take action.
They were afraid that opening the coffins would lead to more deaths.
They also feared that if they couldn’t eradicate Qiu Guan and Chunyu, it would invite even greater revenge.
They hesitated, unable to make a firm decision.
Later, more young people died, and the fields were nearly abandoned, with no one to cultivate them.
Both villages realized that this couldn’t go on.
So they selected so, who were older but in good health, to burn Qiu Guan and Chunyu’s bodies.
Even if sothing did happen, and they died, it would be worth it.
However, when those people rushed to the cetery and unearthed the coffins, they didn’t dare to take action.
Because...
When the coffins were opened, inside, Qiu Guan and Chunyu’s bodies were lifelike, as if they were still alive.
Their wounds had disappeared, leaving no scars, lying there peacefully, with rosy complexions, as if still living.
The villagers present were terrified to death; how could they dare make a move?
There was, however, one person who accidentally dropped the torch into the coffin.
But the result...
The flas didn’t harm Qiu Guan and Chunyu’s bodies at all.
Seeing this, the villagers hurriedly sealed the coffins and fled.
No one ever dared to ntion burning the bodies again to prevent further troubles.
Bai Changfeng and Xia Xin sighed deeply, not knowing what to say.
If they had to say sothing, it seed like it would only be, "If we had known it would co to this, why resort to such lengths in the beginning?"
But those words were the most useless.
Upon hearing this, Jiangli no longer wished to waste words with Qiu Min and Qiu Guan. She raised her hand and scattered a handful of paper money.
The paper money drifted upwards.
Bai Changfeng and Xia Xin looked over and saw a pitch-black path open up in the valley.
Soone erged from within.
Xia Xin recognized him; it was Judge Cui.
Judge Cui hurried his steps, and upon seeing Jiangli’s Spiritual Feature, he nearly slipped but quickly stabilized himself, bowed, and saluted. "Your Highness summoned —"
