Chapter 352: Chapter 345 Tang Wenhаn’s Status Skyrockets_1

Gu techniques might be good, spells might be otherwise, but inherently they should not be inherently good or evil.

As long as one’s intentions are just, learning Gu techniques does not mean one will go about killing the innocent at will.

To prevent this Mother Gu from escaping, the best method would be to capture it. However, Qin Niu did not possess the Gu Control Technique and had no way to confine it.

Now, the only method to deal with the Gu was to have Termite enforce spiritual control over it.

Or to simply kill it outright.

Qin Niu was considering whether to find another insect to devour this Mother Gu.

The next candidate would undoubtedly be the Green Silk Worm.

Having now evolved into a Mother Worm, its level was already high, and its capabilities were very akin to that of the Gu.

Having the Green Silk Worm consume the Gu would likely be of great benefit to it.

But in his actions, he always preferred to maximize benefits.

He wanted to use the Mother Gu to capture the escaped Offspring Gu and also to locate the puppeteer behind the scenes.

There, He Saixiang’s mother and relatives were still wailing.

The villagers from Daoyuan Village gradually came over to help with the funeral arrangements.

“Tang Wenhаn, brother, we need your steady hand to help the He Family with the funeral!”

“Tang Wenhаn, give the orders! At least first help the He Family to place their daughter in the coffin so she isn’t just lying here!”

The villagers discussed among themselves.

In the countryside, it is customary for villagers to spontaneously come to aid with funerals.

He Saixiang, not yet twenty years old and in the prime of her youth, had died, making her an ‘untimely spirit.’

It is commonly believed among the folk that those who die abnormal deaths or who pass away below the age of forty carry heavy malefic energy, and are likely to turn into malevolent ghosts that bring harm to the living.

Interment in a coffin as soon as possible, followed by a burial and a conducted spell, is considered the best way to deal with it.

This can also prevent the spirit of the deceased from lingering and causing harm to others.

“Isn’t it inappropriate for me to take charge of this? Wouldn’t it be better to have the village head coordinate and arrange everyone?”

Tang Wenhаn sneaked a glance towards Qin Niu.

Some gain their status through their children’s achievements.

Because Tang Caixian married Qin Niu, Tang Wenhаn became Qin Niu’s father-in-law. By virtue of this relationship, his status soared to become one of the most revered in Daoyuan Village.

The only other person who might compare to him was probably Tang Yan.

Personnel arrangements for funeral affairs are typically orchestrated by the village head or other respected individuals within the village. The chief organizer is usually appointed by the bereaved family and is often someone they trust.

Other tasks such as washing vegetables, cutting them, managing the stove, digging graves, lighting firecrackers, handling the storage room, picking up dishes, and serving food, are arranged by the village head.

Organizing a funeral requires the help of at least forty to fifty people.

Just the bearers of the coffin need to be more than sixteen strong men.

Such personnel arrangements are usually commanded by the village head.

Yet now, there had been a quiet shift in the winds.

Those who wished to curry favor with the influential naturally pushed Tang Wenhаn to the forefront, urging him to take command.

“Tang Wenhаn, brother, don’t shirk this task. In our village, only you and the venerable Tang Yan have the most esteemed status. It’s perfectly appropriate for you to take charge,” one said.

The village head of Daoyuan Village knew how to play his cards, and on the spot, very tactfully ceded his authority.

“Uncle Wenhаn, don’t hesitate. Just tell me what to do. Surely we can’t let He Sai Yue’s body just lie in the backyard?”

“Alright, alright! Tang Xiong, go prepare the incense sticks, paper money, and gongs…”

Tang Wenhаn relented, albeit reluctantly.

For worldly folks, power, wealth, and beauty are the three things they find hardest to refuse.

Tang Wenhаn was not an old man, and like any ordinary man, he too had his vanities.

Especially within the village, among kin and clansmen, now that he had become one of the two most distinguished figures in the village, his vanity was immensely satisfied.

As for Qin Niu, he had not the slightest interest in these worldly displays of power.
