Origin Chapter 607: Death in the same cave

Each tribe has its own ancestral cemetery, usually located in the north of the tribe, and the ancestral tomb of the bird tribe is also in the back mountain.

Relocation of the grave is a major event. A ritual official responsible for offering sacrifices will lead the way first, followed by the six warriors carrying the coffin, Wu Zhongyuan and a group of female relatives, and Li Tai and others at the end.

The light is dim, the heart is heavy, and I move forward silently, ** solemnly.

As the old saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, and the child wants to be raised but the parent doesn't wait. Wu Zhongyuan is in this mood at this time, sadness, pity, loss, helplessness. It is also possible that he has not received the care of his parents since he was a child, so he does not think that parents are selfless and great. In fact, many parents are incompetent, and they did not give enough patience and care when their children were young. Adult children are critical and consider themselves benefactors.

But he is very lucky. His parents are both competent and they dare to risk the world. One really dares to live and the other really dares to raise, and the two also paid a heavy price for their bravery and responsibility. One was killed in a siege and the other was sad and lost.

After a quarter of an hour, everyone came to the Ancestral Mausoleum of the Bird Clan.

The ancestral mausoleums are sacred places for their own family. Outsiders cannot come. Wu Zhongyuan has never been there before, and he does not know where his mother is buried. When he was in front of the tomb, Wu Zhongyuan's face turned very ugly. The reason was that Li Qianyu was not buried in the ancestral mausoleum, but was buried in a solitary tomb three feet away from the west side of the ancestral mausoleum, with no seal and no monument. .

Although Wu Zhongyuan was sad on the way here, he never lost control of his emotions. When he saw his mother's orphan tomb, the extreme sadness from the bottom of his heart spread all over his body instantly. The time before Li Qianyu's death was very difficult. It was tragic and imprisoned. He could imagine his mother's helplessness and anxiety at that time. Li Qianyu suffered great grievances in the last years of his life.

Wu Zhongyuan resisted his grief, bowed and paid homage with a gloomy face under the guidance of the ceremonial official, and digged the soil with a shovel.

According to the rules of etiquette, children of the opposite **** should turn around to avoid suspicion when the grave is being raised for the deceased, but Wu Zhongyuan had been standing nearby, watching the six people carrying the coffin digging the ground and breaking the tomb. He looked back.

He was full of anger at this time, mainly resentment towards Li Tai and other matriarchal relatives. Without his mother, his grandmother and uncle were all nonsense. He stayed close to confirm what coffin the Birds used to bury themselves. His mother's, buried outside the ancestral mausoleum, he can barely tell the past. After all, his mother and father are not officially married, but if the coffin used is of 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. It seemed that no one had ever seen such a gloomy expression on his face. No one dared to step forward to comfort him, because no one knew what he was thinking, and he could not confirm that what he said would be true. what consequences.

Wu Zhongyuan has been standing near the tomb watching the six people digging through the ground. He will observe every shovel dug out by the crowd. This is to determine whether there are stones mixed in the soil where the coffin is buried. Yes, it means that the burial was very sloppy at that time, because according to the funeral rules, when backfilling and burying, the stones must be picked out.

Fortunately, the soil they dug out was not mixed with stones, and the six people also widened the area by two feet while digging. The purpose of this was not to step on the coffin under the soil.

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

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

A moment later, the lid of the coffin emerged.

"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 terrified. 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 was abused when he was alive. .

The ceremonial officer carried a measuring ruler with him. After carefully measuring it, he bowed and replied, "Six feet and two inches into the soil."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. Except for the tombs of later generations, most of the tombs are between one meter five and two meters. No matter how deep they are, it is easy to dig into the groundwater.

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

Because the burial was a woman, the woman opened the coffin. Wang Xinran and Wu Di wore red cloth gloves, and they were responsible for opening the coffin.

"Is it a plug or a nail?" Wu Zhongyuan asked sternly.

"Shut up." Wu Di said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. The piercing is the mortise and tenon that fixes the body and lid of the coffin. The piercing is used for formal burials, and seven iron nails are used to seal it in a hasty manner.

"The material of the coffin?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Wu Di and Wang Xinran didn't know much about wood, so they didn't answer immediately. Li Tai hurriedly replied, "Gloomy wood, three inches thick."

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

"Funeral utensils?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Wang Xinran didn't know much about the artifacts at that time. It was Wu Di who inspected the recitations one by one. There were more than 20 burial objects, most of which were personal items for daily use.

"Do the bones show signs of trauma and poisoning?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Ask these questions in front of Li Qianyu's maiden family. It's more or less rude or even unfriendly. This is obviously because he is worried that Li Qianyu was murdered by his maiden family.

Wang Xinran dealt with unnatural events in modern times, and also dabbled in autopsy. After the two tried it, Wu Di said, "There is no trauma and no signs of poisoning."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

Seeing him nodding, all the bird people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They all said that their son was the backing of their mother, which was true. Back then, Li Qianyu and Wu Hao fell in love with each other and gave birth to a baby, which made them ashamed. Let Li Qianyu leave the baby to be raised from the bird clan, forcibly forcing the mother and son to separate, and now that the son of the family has returned, it is also a blessing that he had not been harshly abused back then, 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. Before sunrise, they re-entered the burial and sealed the coffin.

Wu Zhongyuan did not return to the Bird Clan Palace, and directly ordered everyone to summon mounts to take off from the back mountain for the return journey. Before leaving, he issued a decree to increase the reward. as a reward.

The eagle king is huge, and it is not difficult to carry the coffin. On the way back, Wu Zhongyuan has been holding the coffin beside him. Over the years, his mother has been lying alone outside the ancestral mausoleum of the bird clan. Today, he finally brings her back. home.

At midnight, I returned to Youxiong and went to the ancestral mausoleum to be buried together with Wu Hao.

As the so-called teaching by words and deeds, although Wu Hao and Li Qianyu didn't have time to tell him, they taught him by example and set an example. In this world, we should focus on love and righteousness.

Although I was disappointed and sad, I always had one thing on my mind. After returning to the palace for lunch, I started to deal with the backlog of official duties. I was reviewing the memorial, and suddenly remembered something. I called Wu Junyue over to give him a face to face opportunity. Xiong mixed into the seven five-story works. Wu Yuzhu peeked at the catalogue of collections he brought out from Yanyun Mountain before, which almost cost him his life. These people cannot be kept and must be dealt with as soon as possible.

There is a reason why he put Wu Junyue in charge of the punishment department. Wu Junyue is ruthless and decisive in killing. He can deal with these matters decisively. There is no other way but to kill them all.

Wu Junyue led the order to retreat. Wu Zhongyuan summoned Li Wanzi, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, to teach in detail the method of qi training that broke through the ninth order of the earth grid. The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the warriors of the world and has great power , to teach the Qi training method to Li Wanzi, and she can selectively teach it to the purple qi warriors of all ethnic groups.

Li Wanzi has mixed joys and sorrows, but the joy is that the deduction of the qi training method to advance to the ninth level of the heavenly grid is equivalent to breaking through the biggest bottleneck of qi training. Over time, the human race will appear three voids, three spirits, and even three levels. 's master.

The worry is that the work of confidentiality cannot be guaranteed, and once it is spread, it will spread quickly.

"It's okay," Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and smiled, "Practicing Qi and Mind is only suitable for human cultivation, and it is not as good as everyone's music. It's really good to be happy. I'm not afraid that there will be thousands of god-level masters in the human race. "

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan being so open-minded, Li Wanzi was relieved.

After Li Wanzi left, Wu Zhongyuan continued to review the memorials. Some of the memorials were submitted by the heads of various ministries. Before long, Wu Zhongyuan ordered Li Ershou, the head of the Ministry of Works, to be summoned.

He summoned Li Ershou to arrange related work. First, the construction and assembly of the barbarian Tiangang crossbow and the earth evil bow. Second, the saltpeter sent by the White Bear clan should hurry up to make it. The soldiers of the battalion build weapons that are handy.

Li Ershou has been staying in the Zhongtian Temple for more than an hour. The reason why he stayed for so long is because Wu Zhongyuan gave Li Ershou the dictation of Ou Yezi's Three Fires and Nine Theories. As a king, his greatest feeling is that If you don't have enough energy, you can't do everything yourself. You must confidently and boldly tell the people below to do it.

Wu Di asked to see him from outside the hall when he was holding the lantern.

Seeing Wu Di's happy face, Wu Zhongyuan looked at her suspiciously. Wu Di said happily, "Congratulations to the Holy One, Zhou Raoguo sent an envoy to see her again and presented the psychic soldier Lufeng hook."

"Zhou Raoguo?" Wu Zhongyuan recalled with a frown, "But those dwarves who are proficient in firearms and good at creation?"

"That's right," Wu Di said, "Earlier Xiangguo received them, and he just told me that he ordered me to come and announce the good news to the Holy One. The swordsmen cannot be brought into the Zhongtian Hall, and the Holy One should accompany me to the Prime Minister's House. Scrutinize."

"Where's their messenger?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I have already gone back." Wu Di said.

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

Wu Di shook her head, "No."

Wu Zhongyuan frowned and shook his head, "Although they didn't make a request this time, they had said before that they hoped we would help them get rid of that monstrous giant seabird."

"What concerns does the Holy Master have?" Wu Di asked.

"The country of Zhou Rao is very close to the South China Sea. I suspect that the man-eating seabirds they are talking about are related to the South China Sea Dragon Clan," Wu Zhongyuan said. It will lead to a war with the South China Sea Dragons."

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Wu Di thought about it and said, "It's better than this, let me investigate first, find out the truth and then make calculations."

"Alright..."
