Chapter six hundred and seventh dead in the same hole

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

Moving the grave is a major event. A ritual official who is specifically responsible for sacrificial matters will lead the way first. The ritual official is followed by six warriors carrying the coffin, followed by Wu Zhongyuan and a group of female relatives, Li Tai and others followed at the end.

The light is dim and the mood is heavy. Move forward silently, solemn and mu.

There is an old saying that trees want to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and children want to support but their parents are not waiting. Wu Zhongyuan was in this mood at this time, sadness, regret, sadness, and helplessness. He may not have received care from his parents since he was a child, so he does not think that parents are selfless and great. In fact, many parents are not competent. They do not give enough patience and care when their children are still young. After they get old, they nitpick their adult children and regard themselves as benefactors.

But he was very lucky that his parents were competent and dared to take the most ruthless thing in the world. One really dared to live and the other really dared to raise. The two also paid a heavy price for their courage and responsibility. One was tragically besieged and died, and the other was sad and lost in depression.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone came to the Bird Clan’s ancestor tomb.

The ancestral tombs are holy places of their own clan, and outsiders cannot come. Wu Zhongyuan had never been here before, nor did he know where his mother was buried. When the ritual officer who led the way brought the team to Li Qianyu's grave, Wu Zhongyuan's face turned very ugly. The reason was that Li Qianyu was not buried in the ancestral tomb, but was buried in a lonely tomb three feet away on the west side of the ancestral tomb, with no seal or monument.

Although Wu Zhongyuan was sad and sad on the way he came, his emotions were not out of control. When he saw his mother's lonely grave, the extreme sadness from the bottom of his heart spread throughout his body. The period before Li Qianyu died was very miserable 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 endured his sadness and bowed to the rituals with a sinister face to pay homage to the ritual officials. He held a shovel to dig the soil. The first three shovels for the grave should be excavated by the filial son before they could be digged by others.

According to etiquette and rules, children of the opposite sex should turn around to avoid suspicion when laying graves for the deceased. However, Wu Zhongyuan has been standing close to him and watched the six people carrying the coffin dig soil and break the tomb. The ritual officer stepped forward to persuade him, but he took a look back.

At this time, his heart was full of anger, mainly resentment towards his maternal relatives such as Li Tai. Without his mother, all grandmother and uncle were nonsense. He stayed nearby to confirm what coffin the bird clan used to bury his mother. He also barely said that he had buried it outside the ancestral tomb. After all, his mother and his father had not officially gotten married, but if the coffin used was inferior and hasty, it means that in the last years of his mother's life, the bird clan was very mean to her.

Wu Zhongyuan's face looked very ugly. Everyone had never 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, nor could he confirm what he said would lead to.

Wu Zhongyuan stood near the grave and watched the six people dig through the ground. He would look at every shovel of soil dug out by everyone. This was to determine whether there were stones in the soil where the coffin was buried. If so, it would mean that the burial was very hasty at that time, because according to the funeral rules, the stones were to be picked out when backfilling and burying.

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

Not long after, black wood residue appeared in the soil. This is charcoal for water absorption and moisture-proofing, and its function is to protect the coffin.

Seeing the charcoal residue, Wu Zhongyuan's face calmed down 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 shocked and frightened. It turned out that Wu Zhongyuan had been staring at the details of the grave. The purpose was undoubtedly to infer whether Li Qianyu was abused when he was alive through observation of the grave.

The ritual officer carried a measuring ruler with him, measured it carefully, bowed and reported, "It was six feet and two inches into the soil."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. Except for the imperial tombs in later generations, most of the tombs were between one meter and five to two meters, and it was easy to dig groundwater if it was deeper.

After everyone cleared the coffin, Wu Zhongyuan walked around the grave and confirmed that the coffin was intact. The body of the coffin was painted, and his face improved again. He turned his back to everyone and "opened the coffin."

Since the woman was buried, the woman opened the coffin. Wang Xinran and Wu Di wore red cloth gloves, one left and one right, responsible for opening the coffin.

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

"Langbang." Wu Di said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. The tampon was the mortise and tenon that fixed the body and lid of the coffin. Only when the regular burial was buried, and only when the more hasty ones were sealed with seven iron nails.

"Made of coffin?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Wu Di and Wang Xinran didn't know much about wood and did not answer immediately. Seeing this, Li Tai hurriedly answered on his behalf, "She is gloomy, three inches thick."

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

"The burial vessel?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Wang Xinran didn't know much about the artifacts at this time. Wu Di checked and started one by one. There were more than 20 items buried with them, most of which were close to daily necessities. They were not rich, but they were not barren.

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

Asking these questions in front of Li Qianyu's family was a little more or less rude or even unfriendly, which was obviously a concern that Li Qianyu was murdered by his family.

Wang Xinran handles unnatural events in modern times and has also been involved in autopsy. After the two tested the test, Wu Di said, "There is no trauma, nor any signs of poisoning."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

Seeing him nodding, all the bird tribe members secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saying that their son was the mother's backer, and this statement was true. Li Qianyu and Wu Hao fell in love and gave birth to a baby, which made them ashamed. They even refused to let Li Qianyu leave the baby to raise it from the bird tribe, and forced the mother and son to separate. Now that the son is back, it is a blessing that he did not abuse him harshly back then. Otherwise, Wu Zhongyuan would never have shown mercy to their subordinates.

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

Wu Zhongyuan did not return to the Bird Clan Palace, so he directly ordered everyone to call his mount to take off from the back mountain and return. Before leaving, he issued an order to reward him. The six people who carried the coffin and broke the ground first wore a bronze roof and gave him a python to the cloak, which was equivalent to military achievements to show his reward.

The Eagle King is huge and it is not difficult to carry a 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 Bird Clan's ancestor tomb. Today, he finally took her home.

At the time of the year, I returned to Youxiong and went to the ancestor tomb to bury Wu Hao. I was unable to have the same bed in my life and died in the same cave. I was lucky but unfortunate, and unfortunate but lucky.

As the saying goes, although Wu Hao and Li Qianyu didn't have time to tell him, they set an example for him with their own words. The gains and losses are just passing clouds. In life, love and friendship should be the priority.

Although he was sad, he always tried to get rid of his thoughts. After returning to the palace for lunch, he began to deal with the official duties he had accumulated. He was reviewing the memorials when he suddenly remembered something and summoned Wu Junyue to come in person. He was in the process of giving advice. He was involved in seven five-way works. Before, Wu Yuzhu peeked at the list of collections he brought from Yanyun Mountain, which almost cost him his life. These people could not be kept and must be dealt with as soon as possible.

There was a reason why he asked Ng Junyue to be in charge of the Ministry of Justice. Ng Junyue was ruthless and decisive in killing and was able to make a quick decision when dealing with these things. There was no other way, so he could only kill them all.

Wu Junyue retreated, and Wu Zhongyuan summoned Li Wanzi, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, to give a detailed explanation of the Qi training method that had been deduced before, which broke through the ninth level of the Earth-Grade. The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the warriors in the world and has great power. She can teach the Qi training mind method to Li Wanzi, which can be selected to teach the purple Qi warriors of all races.

Li Wanzi was mixed with joy and sorrow. What was happy was that deducing the Qi training mind method that had advanced to the ninth level of the Tiange was equivalent to breaking through the biggest Qi training bottleneck. In time, the human race will have masters of the three virtual, three spirits, and even three-yuan level.

What is worrying is that confidentiality work cannot be guaranteed, and once it is spread, it will spread soon.

"It's not intrusive," Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and smiled, "The method of Qi training is only suitable for human race's practice. It's better to have fun alone than to have fun. It's really good to have everyone's hello. I'm not afraid of millions of god-level masters in the human race."

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was so open-minded, Li Wanzi felt relieved, wrote down the method of practicing Qi in detail, and then got up and left.

When Li Wanzi left, Wu Zhongyuan began to review the memorials. Some memorials were submitted by the heads of various departments. Not long after, Wu Zhongyuan ordered people to summon Li Ershou, the head of the Ministry of Works.

He summoned Li Ershou to arrange related work. First, the creation and assembly of the Yiren Tiangang Crossbow and the Earth Demon Bow, second, the saltpeter sent by the White Bear Clan was hurrying to make **, and third, the time was to build a handy weapon for the soldiers of the Sifang camp.

Li Ershou stayed in the Zhongtian Palace for more than an hour. The reason for staying for so long was that Wu Zhongyuan dictated the Three Fires and Nine Theory written by Ou Yezi to Li Ershou. As a king, his biggest feeling was that he did not have enough energy and could not do everything himself. He had to be confident and boldly assigned it to the people below.

When he was holding the lamp, Wu Di asked for a visit from outside the hall.

Seeing that Wu Di was happy, Wu Zhongyuan looked at her in confusion. Wu Di said happily, "Congratulations to the emperor, Zhou Raoguo sent another envoy to meet him and present the spiritual divine weapon, Erfeng Hook."

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

"That's right," said Wu Di, "the prime minister met them earlier and just told me that he ordered me to come and report good news to the Lord. The swords and weapons cannot be brought into the Zhongtian Hall. I also asked the Lord to follow me to the Prime Minister's House for examination and inspection."

"Where is their messenger?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

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

"They didn't make any request?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Wu Di shook his head, "No."

Wu Zhongyuan frowned and shook his head, "Although they did not make any requests this time, they had said before that we hope we can help them remove the fierce and cannibal seabird."

"What are the concerns of the Lord?" Wu Di asked.

"Zhou Raoguo is very close to the South China Sea. I suspect that the man-eating sea birds they mentioned are related to the South China Sea Dragon Clan," said Wu Zhongyuan. "Before this, I had already had a feud with the South China Sea Dragon Clan. If I go to kill the sea birds, it will probably trigger a war with the South China Sea Dragon Clan."

After hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Wu Di thought for a while and said, "It's better to do this. Let me investigate first, find out the truth before making a decision."
