Origin

Each tribe has its own ancestral tomb cemetery, which is usually located directly north of the tribe. The ancestral tomb of the Bird Clan is also in the back mountain.

Moving the tomb was a major event, and there were ceremonial officers who were specifically responsible for sacrificial matters. They were followed by six warriors carrying the coffin, followed by Wu Zhongyuan and a group of female relatives, and Li Tai and others followed at the end.

The light is dim, the mood is heavy, and we move forward in silence, with solemnity and solemnity.

As the old saying goes, a tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, and a child wants to be raised but cannot be loved. Wu Zhongyuan felt like this at this time, sad, regretful, disappointed and helpless. It is also possible that he has not received care from his parents since he was a child, so he does not think that his parents are selfless and great. In fact, many parents are incompetent and do not give their children enough patience and care when they are young. Adult children are critical and think of themselves as benefactors.

But he was lucky. Both of his parents were competent. They both dared to risk the world's disapproval. One really dared to give birth to a child, and the other really dared to raise him. Both of them paid a heavy price for their bravery and responsibility. The other was brutally besieged. He died in a fierce battle, and died in a sad and depressed state.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived at the ancestral mausoleum of the Bird Clan.

The ancestral mausoleum is a sacred place for the clan, and outsiders are not allowed to come. Wu Zhongyuan has never been here before, and he does not know where his mother is buried. The ceremonial officer who was waiting to guide the way led the team of moving the tomb to Li Qianyu's tomb. At that time, Wu Zhongyuan's face became very ugly. The reason was that Li Qianyu was not buried in the ancestral mausoleum, but was buried three feet away to the west of the ancestral mausoleum, in a solitary tomb with no seal or monument.

Although Wu Zhongyuan was sad and sad on the way here, his emotions never got out of control. When he saw his mother's lonely tomb, the extreme sadness from deep in his heart instantly spread throughout his body. The period before Li Qianyu's death was very miserable. He was imprisoned. He could imagine his mother's helplessness and anxiety at that time. Li Qianyu suffered great injustice in the last years of his life.

Wu Zhongyuan suppressed his grief, knelt down and paid homage under the guidance of the etiquette officer with a sullen face, and dug the soil with a shovel. The first three shovels for moving the tomb should be dug by the filial son, and then others could dig for him.

According to the rules of etiquette, children of the opposite sex should turn around to avoid suspicion when raising a grave for the deceased, but Wu Zhongyuan stood nearby and watched the six people carrying the coffin digging and breaking the tomb. The ceremony officer stepped forward to persuade him, but he looked at him. Went back.

He was filled with anger at this time, mainly resentment towards Li Tai and other maternal relatives. Without his mother, it was all nonsense to talk about grandma and uncle. He stayed nearby to confirm what kind of coffin the Bird Tribe used to bury his mother. , being buried outside the ancestral mausoleum is still a thing of the past. After all, his mother and father were not officially married. However, if the coffin used is poor quality and sloppy, it means that in the last years of her mother's life, the bird people were very mean to her.

Wu Zhongyuan's face was very ugly. No one had ever seen such a gloomy expression on his face. No one dared to come forward to comfort him because no one knew what he was thinking and could not confirm the consequences of what he said. .

Wu Zhongyuan has been standing near the tomb watching the six people digging. He will look at every shovelful of soil dug out by the people. This is to determine whether there are stones mixed in the soil where the coffin is buried. If so, he will It shows that the burial was very hasty at that time, because according to the funeral rules, the stones must be picked out when backfilling and burying.

Fortunately, the soil dug out by everyone was not mixed with rocks, and the six people also widened the surrounding area by two feet while digging.

The purpose of this is not to step on the coffin under the earth.

Not long after, black wood residue appeared in the soil. This was charcoal used to absorb water and prevent moisture. Its function was to protect the coffin.

Seeing the charcoal residue, Wu Zhongyuan's expression softened slightly.

After digging for a while, the coffin lid appeared.

"Measure the depth." Wu Zhongyuan said in a deep voice.

As soon as Wu Zhongyuan said this, Li Tai and others were all shocked and horrified. It turned out that Wu Zhongyuan had been staring at the details of the tomb, and his purpose was undoubtedly to infer whether Li Qianyu had been abused when he was alive through observation of the tomb.

The ceremony officer carried a measuring ruler with him, measured it carefully, bowed and reported back, "It will be six feet and two inches into the ground."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. Except for the imperial mausoleums of later generations, most of the tombs are between one and a half to two meters. No matter how deep they are, it is easy to dig underground water.

After everyone had cleaned out the coffin, Wu Zhongyuan walked around the tomb to make sure that the coffin was intact and that the coffin body was painted. His expression improved again, and he turned his back to everyone and said, "Open the coffin."

Since the person being buried was a woman, she had to open the coffin. Wang Xinran and Wu Di put on red cloth gloves and were responsible for opening the coffin, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Is it a girdle or an iron nail?" Wu Zhongyuan asked seriously.

"Jinsai." Wu Di said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. The corset is the mortise and tenon that fixes the coffin body and lid. The corset is only used for formal burials, and seven iron nails are used for more careless burials.

"Coffin material?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Wu Di and Wang Xinran didn't know much about wood and didn't answer immediately. Seeing this, Li Tai hurriedly answered on their behalf, "Gloomy wood, three inches thick."

Wu Zhongyuan sighed, turned to look at Li Tai, and nodded to him. Gloomy wood is a good choice for a coffin. A three-inch thick coffin is already considered very thick.

"Burial vessels?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Wang Xinran didn't know much about the utensils at that time, but Wu Di inspected them one by one. He found that there were more than twenty items buried with him, most of which were personal items for daily use. They were not rich, but they were not poor either.

"Are there any signs of trauma or poisoning on the bones?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Asking these questions in front of Li Qianyu's natal family was somewhat impolite and even unfriendly. This was obviously because he was worried that Li Qianyu was being murdered by his natal family.

Wang Xinran deals with unnatural events in modern times, and is also involved in autopsies. After the two examined it, Wu Di said, "There are no external injuries or signs of poisoning."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

Seeing him nodding, all the Bird Clan members secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They all said that the son is the mother's supporter. This is true. Back then, Li Qianyu and Wu Hao fell in love and gave birth to a baby, which made them ashamed and even refused to let Li Qianyu The baby was raised by the Bird Clan and the mother and son were forced to separate. Now that their son is back, it's a good thing that they were not tortured harshly. Otherwise, Wu Zhongyuan would never show mercy to them.

Jiang Nan and Wu Qing were responsible for picking up the bones. They both wore red cloth gloves. During the whole process, all the men turned around to avoid suspicion. They re-enclosed the coffin before sunrise and closed the coffin.

Wu Zhongyuan did not return to the Bird Clan Palace. He directly ordered everyone to summon his mounts and take off from the back mountain to return. Before leaving, he issued an edict to reward the six people who carried the coffin first and broke the ground. They were given copper caps and cloaks and pythons, which were equivalent to military achievements as a reward. .

The Eagle King was huge, so it was not difficult to carry the coffin. Wu Zhongyuan kept supporting the coffin beside him on the way back. His mother had been lying alone outside the Bird Clan's ancestral mausoleum all these years. Today, he finally took her home.

At Chen time, I returned to Youxiong and went to the ancestral mausoleum to be buried with Wu Hao. They were not born in the same quilt and died in the same cave. Fortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately, but fortunately.

As the saying goes, teaching by words and deeds, although Wu Hao and Li Qianyu didn't have time to teach him words, they set an example for him by teaching them by example. The gains and losses were just a passing smoke. As a human being, friendship should be the most important thing.

Although he was sad, he always settled one thing on his mind. He returned to the palace, had lunch, and began to deal with the backlog of official business. While reviewing the memorial, he suddenly remembered something and summoned Wu Junyue to come over and give him a face-to-face explanation. A bear came in. He made seven five-step details. Wu Yuzhu had peeked at the list of collections he brought from Yanyun Mountain, which almost cost him his life. These people cannot be kept and must be dealt with as soon as possible.

There was a reason why he put Wu Junyue in charge of the Criminal Department. Wu Junyue was ruthless and decisive in killing. He could handle these matters decisively and had no other choice but to kill them all.

Wu Junyue retreated after receiving the order, and Wu Zhongyuan summoned Li Wanzi, the head of the official department, to teach in detail the qi training method that had been deduced to break through the ninth level of the earth grid. The official department was in charge of the world's warriors and had great power. The Qi Heart Method is taught to Li Wanzi, and she can selectively teach it to the Purple Qi warriors of all races.

Li Wanzi was mixed with joy and sorrow. What he was happy about was that deducing the qi training method to advance to the ninth level of Tiange was equivalent to breaking through the biggest qi training bottleneck. In time, the human race would have three virtual, three spirit, and even three yuan level masters.

The worry is that confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. Once word spreads, it will spread quickly.

"It doesn't matter," Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Qi and mind training is only suitable for human cultivation. Having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone. It is really good if everyone is good. I am not afraid of thousands of god-level masters appearing in the human race."

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was so open-minded, Li Wanzi was relieved. He wrote down the Qi training method in detail, then stood up and left.

After Li Wanzi left, Wu Zhongyuan continued to review the memorials. Some memorials were submitted by the chief officials of various ministries. Not long after, Wu Zhongyuan ordered someone to summon Li Ershou, the head of the Ministry of Industry.

He summoned Li Ershou to arrange related work. The first was to make and assemble the Yi Tiangang Crossbow and the Disha Bow. The second was to seize the time to make the saltpeter sent by the White Bear Tribe. The third was to seize the time to prepare the weapons for the soldiers of the Sifang Camp. Build a handy weapon.

Li Ershou stayed in the Zhongtian Hall for more than an hour. The reason why he stayed for so long was because Wu Zhongyuan dictated the Three Fires and Nine Treatises written by Ou Yezi to Li Ershou. As a king, his biggest feeling was that he did not have enough energy. , you cannot do everything yourself, you must confidently and boldly leave it to the people below to do it.

When it was time to hold the lantern, Wu Di asked for an audience from outside the palace.

Seeing the joy on Wu Di's face, Wu Zhongyuan looked at her suspiciously. Wu Di said happily, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Kingdom of Zhou Rao sent envoys to visit again and presented the psychic magic weapon Heron and Phoenix Hook."

"Zhou Rao Kingdom?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned and recalled, "But those dwarves who are proficient in firearms and good at creating things?"

"Exactly," Wu Di said, "The Prime Minister met with them earlier and just informed me that he ordered me to come and report the good news to the Holy One. Weapons cannot be brought into the Zhongtian Hall. I also asked the Holy One to accompany me to the Prime Minister's Chamber for inspection. "

"Where is their envoy?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I've gone back," Wu Di said.

"They didn't ask for anything?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Wu Di shook his head, "No."

Wu Zhongyuan frowned and shook his head, "Although they did not make a request this time, they have said before that they hope we will help them get rid of the ferocious and man-eating giant seabird."

"What worries does Your Majesty have?" Wu Di asked. "The Kingdom of Zhou Rao is very close to the South China Sea. I suspect that the man-eating seabirds they mentioned are related to the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea," Wu Zhongyuan said. "Before this, I have been at odds with the Dragon Clan of the South China Sea. If I go to kill the seabirds, I am afraid it will lead to conflicts with The war between the Dragon Clan in the South China Sea." Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Wu Di thought for a while and said, "It's better than this, let me go investigate first and find out the truth before making any calculations." "That's fine..."\u003c/div\u003e \u003cscript\u003eread3();\u003c/script\u003e\u003cscript\u003ebdshare();\u003c/script\u003e
