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

The relocation of the grave is a major event, and there is a ceremonial official who is in charge of sacrificial matters to lead the way, followed by the six warriors who carry the coffin, and then Wu Zhongyuan and a female dependent, Li Tai and others follow at the end.

The light is dim, the mood is heavy, and he moves forward silently, **solemn.

As the old saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the son wants to raise but does not wait, Wu Zhongyuan is in this mood at this time, sad, regretful, stunned, and helpless. In fact, many parents are incompetent, and they have not given enough patience and care to their children when they are young, and when they are old, they find fault with their adult children and claim to be benefactors.

But he was very lucky, his parents were both competent, both dared to risk the world's condemnation, one really dared to give birth, the other really dared to raise, and the two also paid a heavy price for their bravery and responsibility, one was killed in the siege, and the other died of sadness and depression.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone came to the ancestral tomb of the bird clan.

The ancestral tombs are all sacred places of their own clan, outsiders can't come, Wu Zhongyuan has never been here before, and he doesn't know where his mother is buried, when the ceremonial officer who can lead the way will bring the tomb relocation team to Li Qianyu's grave, Wu Zhongyuan's face became very ugly, the reason is that Li Qianyu was not buried in the ancestral tomb, but buried in the west side of the ancestral tomb, three zhang away, a lonely tomb, no seal and no monument.

On the way to come, although Wu Zhongyuan was sad and sad, his emotions were never out of control, and when he saw his mother's lonely tomb, the extreme sadness from the depths of his heart instantly spread all over his body, Li Qianyu lived a very miserable time before his death, he was 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 sorrow, bowed and paid tribute under the guidance of the ceremonial official with a gloomy face, and dug the soil with a shovel, and the first three shovels of the grave should be dug by the filial son, and then they could be dug by others.

According to the rules of etiquette, when the grave of the deceased is raised, the children of the opposite sex should turn around to avoid suspicion, but Wu Zhongyuan has been standing close, watching the six people carrying the coffin digging the soil and breaking the tomb.

His heart was full of anger at this time, mainly resentment towards Li Tai and other matrilineal relatives, without his mother, what grandmother and uncle were all nonsense, he stayed nearby to confirm what coffin the bird clan used to bury his mother, buried outside the ancestral tomb and reluctantly said the past, after all, his mother and father were not officially married, but if the coffin used was inferior 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, as if this kind of gloomy expression had never been seen on his face, and no one dared to step forward to comfort him, because no one knew what he was thinking, and he couldn't confirm what the consequences of what he said would lead to.

Wu Zhongyuan has been standing near the grave and watching the six people break the ground and excavate, and he will look at and observe every spade of soil dug out by everyone, this move is to determine whether there are stones mixed in the soil where the coffin is buried, if there is, it means that the burial was very hasty at that time, because according to the funeral rules, when backfilling and burying, the stones must be picked out.

Fortunately, there were no stones in the dirt dug up, and the six of them widened two feet around as they dug up, so as not to trample on the coffin under the soil.

It didn't take long for black wood slag to appear in the soil, which is charcoal used to absorb water and moisture, and its function is to protect the coffin.

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

After digging for a few more moments, the lid of the coffin was revealed.

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

As soon as Wu Zhongyuan's words came out, Li Tai and the others were all shocked and frightened, it turned out that Wu Zhongyuan had been staring at the details of the tomb, and his purpose was undoubtedly to deduce whether Li Qianyu had been abused when he was alive through the observation of the tomb.

The ceremonial officer carried a measuring tape with him, measured it carefully, bowed back, and said, "Six feet and two inches into the soil." ”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, except for the emperor's tombs in later generations, most of the tombs are between one meter and five to two meters, and no matter how deep they are, it is easy to dig groundwater.

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

Since it was a woman who was buried, the coffin was opened by a woman, and Wang Xinran and Wu Di put on red cloth gloves, one left and one right, responsible for opening the coffin.

"Is it a plug or an iron nail?" asked Wu Zhongyuan Zhengse.

"Congestion. Wu Di said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, the plug is the tenon that fixes the coffin body and the coffin lid, the regular burial only uses the plug, and the more sloppy one is closed with seven iron nails.

"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, and Li Tai hurriedly replied on his behalf, "Gloomy wood, three inches thick. ”

Wu Zhongyuan sighed, turned his head to look at Li Tai, and nodded at him, gloomy wood is a good choice for making 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 utensils at this time, Wu Di inspected the music one by one, and there were more than 20 funeral things, most of which were personal daily things, which were not rich, but they were not barren.

"Does the skeleton show signs of trauma or poisoning?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Asking these questions in front of Li Qianyu's mother's family was more or less impolite and even unfriendly, which was obviously worried that Li Qianyu was murdered by her mother's family.

Wang Xinran dealt with unnatural events in modern times, and also dabbled in autopsies, and after the two examined, Wu Di said, "There were no external injuries and no signs of poisoning." ”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

Seeing him nodding, all the bird people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said that the son was the mother's backer, which was true, Li Qianyu and Wu Hao fell in love with each other and gave birth to a baby, which made them ashamed, and even did not let Li Qianyu keep the baby from the bird clan to raise, forcing the mother and son to separate, and now the son of the family is back, and he is also a loss that he did not treat them harshly back then, otherwise Wu Zhongyuan will never show mercy to their subordinates.

Jiang Nan and Wu Qing were in charge of picking up the bones, both wearing red cloth gloves, and all the men turned around to avoid suspicion during the whole process, re-entered the burial before sunrise, and closed the coffin.

Wu Zhongyuan did not return to the palace of the bird clan, and directly ordered everyone to summon the mount to take off and return from the back mountain, and before leaving, he issued a decree to reward, and the six people who carried the coffin and broke the ground first were rewarded with bronze tops and cloaks, which were equivalent to war exploits, as a reward.

The carving king is huge, the coffin is not difficult, Wu Zhongyuan has been holding the coffin around him on the way back, his mother has been lying alone outside the ancestral tomb of the bird clan all these years, and now he finally took her home.

Chenshi, back to Youxiong, to the ancestral tomb and Wu Hao buried together, life can not be the same, death in the same cave, fortunately and unfortunate, unfortunate and fortunate.

is the so-called teaching by word and deed, although Wu Hao and Li Qianyu did not have time to tell him, they set an example for him by example, and the gains and losses are just passing by the clouds. In the world, love and righteousness should be the most important.

Although sad and sad, but always a matter of heart, back to the palace for lunch, then began to deal with the backlog of official business, is reviewing the folds, suddenly remembered a thing, summoned Wu Junyue over, face-to-face teaching opportune, there are bears mixed into seven five fine works, before Wu Yuzhu peeked at the list of collections he brought out from Yanyun Mountain, almost caused him to lose his life, these people can not stay, must be disposed of as soon as possible.

There is a reason why he asked Wu Junyue to be in charge of the Criminal Department, Wu Junyue is ruthless and decisive in killing, and he can make a decision on the spot when dealing with these things, and there is no other way but to kill them all.

Wu Junyue led the order to retreat, and Wu Zhongyuan summoned Li Wanzi, the head of the Ministry of Officials, to teach in detail the Qi Cultivation Method that had broken through the ninth order of the Earth Grid that had been deduced before, and the Ministry of Officials was in charge of the warriors of the world, and the power was great, and the Qi Cultivation Heart Method was taught to Li Wanzi, and she could selectively teach it to the purple qi warriors of all races.

Li Wanzi was mixed, and the joy was that deducing the Qi Cultivation Mind Method of advancing to the ninth order of Tiange was equivalent to breaking through the biggest bottleneck of Qi training, and in time, the human race would appear three voids, three spirits, and even three yuan level masters.

The worry is that the secrecy cannot be guaranteed, and once it is spread, it will soon spread.

"It's not in the way," Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand and smiled, "Practicing Qi and Heart Method is only suitable for the cultivation of the human race, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, everyone is really good, I am not afraid of tens of thousands of god-level masters in the human race." ”

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was so open-minded, Li Wanzi was also relieved, wrote down the Qi Cultivation Method in detail, and then got up and left.

After Li Wanzi left, Wu Zhongyuan began to continue to review the folds, some of which were submitted by the heads of various ministries, and it didn't take long for Wu Zhongyuan to order someone to summon Li Ershou, the head of the Ministry of Works.

He summoned Li Ershou over to arrange the relevant work, one is the construction and assembly of the Yiren Tiangang crossbow and the earth demon bow, the second is the saltpeter sent by the White Bear Clan to hurry up and make **, and the third is to seize the time to build weapons for the soldiers of the Quartet Battalion.

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 dictated the Three Fires and Nine Treatises written by Ou Yezi to Li Ershou, as a king, his biggest feeling is that he is not energetic enough, he can't do everything himself, and he must rest assured and boldly explain it to the people below.

When the lamp was in hand, Wu Di asked to see him from outside the hall.

Seeing that Wu Di's face was happy, Wu Zhongyuan looked at her suspiciously, and Wu Di said happily, "Congratulations to the Holy Lord, Zhou Raoguo sent an envoy to meet him again and present the psychic soldier Lu Feng Hook." ”

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

"Exactly," Wu Di said, "Xiang Guo received them earlier, and just informed me that he ordered me to come and report the good news to the Holy Saint, and that the sword soldiers could not be brought into the Middle Heaven Temple, and asked the Holy Lord to go with me to the Prime Minister's House to inspect and examine." ”

"What about their messenger?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Already back. Wu Di said.

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

Wu Di shook his head, "No." ”

Wu Zhongyuan frowned and shook his head, "Although they didn't ask for it this time, they said before that they hoped that we would help them get rid of that fierce and cannibalistic giant seabird." ”

"What are the saint's concerns?" Wu Di asked.

"Zhou Raoguo is very close to the South China Sea, and I suspect that the man-eating seabirds they are talking about are related to the South China Sea Dragon Clan," Wu Zhongyuan said, "I have already made enemies with the South China Sea Dragon Clan before this, and if I go to kill the sea birds, I am afraid that it will lead to a war with the South China Sea Dragon Clan." ”

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Wu Di thought for a while and said, "It's better to go and investigate first, find out the truth and then make a calculation." ”

"It's good ......"
