Chapter 9: The Affair of Posterity

As Emperor Li Dui and Wei Duoer left together, Qing Feng and Li Jun were left in the same place with painful expressions.

The old pipe looked at the back of the Li family leaving, unhurriedly took out the pipe and the fire fold, blew the fire, lit the pipe and continued to smoke. He took several puffs in a row, spitting out a large cloud of mist. The eyes are constantly fascinated together, and the expression shows a solemnity that has never been seen before, and even reveals a trace of ruthlessness;

At this time, the first to move is the mute. I saw that the dumb man was the first to come back to his senses, took a deep breath, and then stomped his feet, which were slightly pantothenic because he had stood for too long, shook the snow on his body, and walked towards Qingfeng and Li Jun. He walked up to them and patted them on the shoulder, looking at the old pipe, as if to ask if they were acting according to the expected plan.

I saw the old pipe, put down the pipe in his hand, shook off the remaining tobacco with the cigarette pot facing down, and nodded at the dumb man, which was in response to the inquiry in his eyes just now.

The mute, who had received a positive reply, moved again, turned to look at a few children who had fallen asleep due to strong alcohol, and then witnessed the changes in this place, and slowly walked over, first picking up Bai Xuan and Xiao Cao'er. There were still two lines of tearful beans hanging from the corners of Bai Xuan's eyes, and his expression was painful. Xiao Cao'er was terrified at this time because of the previous blizzard incident, as if she was worried about whether she would be displaced again and had nowhere to go. After picking up the two of them, the mute jumped up and took the two children into the village, and after a while, he came out and carried the other children into the village one after another.

After the mute took all the children back to the village, they were all arranged in Qingfeng's house, and several children lay upright in Qingfeng's father's room, sleeping deeply. The mute filled the stove on the wall of the house with a few pieces of charcoal. He walked into the bed again, pulled out a few quilts and put them on the children. Then he walked out of the door and walked towards the river at the entrance of the village.

After settling a few cubs for the time being, he had to help the pipe deal with the affairs of the villagers, and if he dealt with it, it would become the top priority for him to struggle.

The difficulty is not only to bury, but also to the ups and downs of life in the future, and the difficulty is to pass this hurdle after thousands of troops.

Under the adverse journey, the road is difficult!

Thinking of this, the dumb man shook his head vigorously, rubbed his cheeks again, calmed down, and continued to walk towards the river;

As the mute approached, the old pipe finally spoke! said to the two people who were standing on the river at a loss:

"Are you going to stand there forever?"

"Just let your parents and clansmen continue to lie on the cold surface of the river?"

"Something happens, and you plan to face it with this attitude? To solve? ”

"It's time for the dumb man to speak, you two don't stand still, don't stand still anymore. If you suppress the discomfort in your heart, you will not be able to come back to life after death, and this must be accepted. Help the mutes, bury your loved ones well, and after the burial, I will tell you why it all came about, and the origin of your own true clan information. Get moving! ”

After a series of three rhetorical questions, the old pipe seems to feel that something is wrong, after all, they are two completely careless children, although there is a few days ago Blizzard incident as a foreshadowing, but after all, it does not involve their own relatives, this drastic change, for ordinary adults, can not be accepted, let alone two underage hairy children!

However, their future life path is destined to be different from other people's paths, so they can't help but accept it!

While speaking, the mute also came to this place.

The old pipe continued to speak:

"Li Jun, you go back to the village and bring all the clothes of the elders here, remember that they are all, worn, unworn, used, unused, all brought here! Go door-to-door to get it. Take the village elders first. ”

"Qingfeng, you go to the village, carry the firewood that everyone has stored for winter to the river, and set up firewood piles one by one, and set up as many piles as there are the corpses of your relatives here."

"Suppress all the sadness in your heart, listen to your grandfather's words first, and do what your grandfather tells you to do! Do these things before heaven and earth! ”

After a brief command, the old pipe patted the two children on the head, and neither child replied, at least nodded. Silently walked towards the village.

After watching the two children walk towards the village, he turned to the mute and said:

"I've been secretly suppressing the minds of these two children, Qingfeng is okay, Li Jun is not, several times the whole mind is about to collapse, this child, after a few times, he will probably forget his feelings in the future, what does the world have to do with her!"

"I've eaten a lot of hundreds of meals over the years, and I won't be able to eat them in the future, so let's send them on their last journey! After that, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own arrangements, you accompany a few children, stabilize your mind, quickly send this journey away, and enter the next step! It's already a step too slow, and it's time to help them catch up! Get moving! ”

After listening to the old pipe, the dumb man sighed, nodded and signaled that he understood, then turned around and walked towards the village, presumably helping Qingfeng to tidy up the firewood;

Watching the three of them leave, the old pipe began to move!

patted the dust on his body, bowed deeply to the river, and then said in a deep voice to the remains of the old and young people in Beicun on the river:

"The 17th generation of the Great Northern Dynasty is raining, and I congratulate you on the people of the dynasty! The mountains and rivers are on a journey, the dynasty is changing, the wind and snow have stopped, the red sun is about to rise, you are at ease, and you are on the road calmly! ”

After finishing speaking, I saw that above the river, the image suddenly rose, the black clouds pressed suddenly, and all the dead people suddenly got up as if they had come back to life, and made a fist to the old pipe by the river, among which Li Sheng stood up and said"

"The dynasty has been silent for a long time, we have been left behind by Beicun, and we have not been able to support it on the road to the front, so naturally it is such a great gift from Mr. Yuxia, although the things before his death have been completely put down, but the remaining 7 sons will grow up in the future, I implore the predecessors of the rain to bother more!"

"I beg the rain seniors to take care of it!" The rest of the people clasped their fists in front of their chests and said in unison!

"Gentlemen, rest assured, this is the case, Qingfeng Li Jun and other 7 children, will step on the old road you have walked, this trip, the rain will be well-arranged, waiting for each of them to move the world! Just go on the road with peace of mind" The old pipe replied and persuaded everyone to go on the road again!

After listening to the words of the old pipe, everyone looked at each other and smiled, as if they were greatly relieved, and knelt down in the direction of the village, kowtowed three times and then got up, and in the sound of "walking", the disappearance gradually dissipated, and the crowd also dissipated like smoke, returning to normal, and the river returned to normal!

All the blood that comes out is clotted!

Looking at the river surface that had returned to normal, the old pipe took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and the corpses of all the people on the river rose from the ground one after another, and landed on the river bank smoothly. Then the old pipe used another spell to wipe the blood from everyone's faces, and everyone lay peacefully by the river as if they were sleeping;

It turned out that the old pipe who was eating a hundred family meals was a dynasty lilang, responsible for the academic education of the entire dynasty, his real name was raining, and the cultivation of the heavenly monarch realm was immortal for the academic achievements of the Great Northern Dynasty, but with the change of dynasty, Yuxia did not use the cultivation to turn the tide, but settled in the hinterland of the dynasty, year after year, day after day to continue to guard this few remnants of the dynasty, in the protracted tug-of-war, picked up the pipe, and began to swallow the clouds.

The rain at this time put away his pipe. Slowly sat down, looking at everything in front of him, quietly waiting for the return of the three of them.

--------------

Approaching the evening, the three of Qingfeng, who had shuttled back and forth many times, silently finished the things explained by the old pipe; Standing beside the old pipe, he didn't say a word.

Then the old pipe settled Qingfeng and Li Jun, put everyone's clothes on the corresponding firewood pile, and the dumb man returned to the village, walked to Qingfeng's house, woke up a few sleeping children, and led them to the river.

Zhao Zheng, the little girl, has been stubborn since she was a child, and she didn't say a word on the road, silently following behind the mute, and the rest of the boys, looking at Zhao Zheng like this, no longer asked.

Walking quietly all the way, tears streaming all the way;

This short road, which they are all too familiar with, feels extremely difficult every step at this time. Finally walked to the river, several children could no longer hold back their expressions, and began to cry, Qingfeng picked up a handful of snow, covered his face with his hands, and constantly shook his shoulders to fully reflect the pain in his heart;

The dumb man stood aside, opened his wine gourd, and poured the rest of the wine on the ground!

After a long time, the old pipe finally spoke:

"Children, the changes you are experiencing now are a threshold that must be passed in life, life in the world, life and death are a kind of normality, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster! After all, you have to pack your bags, learn how to survive, face the intricacies of the whole world, and face the strangeness of human nature! From today onwards, I will pass on to you what I have learned all my life, and you need to come out quickly, study hard, always remember all the things that happened today, and in time, find the source, and how you act at that time depends on your ability and preference! Now, cheer up and send off all your loved ones for a ride! ”

After speaking, he secretly worked hard to stabilize the minds of several children, signaled Qingfeng to take the lead, took a few children, and carefully carried the bodies of all his relatives on the pyre!

After watching the children do these things, the dumb man took out the torch that the villagers had prepared when he returned to the village, took out a fire fold from his arms, lit it silently, and held it in his hand. The old pipe instructed a few children, in the direction of the pyre, knelt down heavily, and each of them kowtowed three times!

After that, the dumb man took the torch and began to light the fire one by one, and for a time the whole river was lit up by the roaring firelight, and the snow next to the firewood began to melt, and the remains of the villagers of Beicun on the firewood began to burn and cremate, ending their hard work! The ancestors of the Great Northern Dynasty have the mark of the times of supreme glory, and the last remnants have been erased under the firelight of the sky!

Watching the fire rise, the relatives who were surrounded and engulfed by the fire turned into a handful of ashes, and several children could no longer control their emotions, kneeling on the ground and crying!

It took five hours for the fire to gradually go out. During the whole process, the old pipe didn't say a word, just silently took out the pipe and smoked it one after another. After watching the children cry dry their tears, they kept choking and sobbing. After all the firewood had stained the last trace of spark, the old pipe called the dumb man and handed the prepared clay pot to the children who were still grieving in front of him!

"Qingfeng, Li Jun, you two take them to put the ashes of all the elders into a clay pot, and seal the mouth of the jar with a white cloth!"

When the words landed, several children began to move, and carefully used a clay pot to put the burned ashes together with the ashes! He took the white cloth handed over by the dumb man and sealed the clay pots one by one!

It was late at night, the stars were twinkling, and the old pipe looked at the neatly arranged clay pots, then pointed to the river and said, "Get up! ”

Then all the pots floated to the surface of the river

The old pipe continued: "Open"

Suddenly, the ice on the river surface under the clay pot cracked, and the whirlpool that reached the bottom of the riverbed appeared in turn!

"Fall"

The old pipe said in a deep voice again!

As soon as the words came out, all the clay pots fell against the whirlpool of the river below!

"Burial"

This time, everyone in the room spoke together, and then the entire river vortex began to disappear, and as the temperature dropped again in the middle of the night, the previously broken river ice began to freeze again at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Soon after, the river finally returned to normal, and the blood on the ice disappeared, and several children looked at the river in front of them, knelt on the ground in unison, and kowtowed!

Not far away, the big yellow dog raised by Xiao Zhi also ran to a few children, prostrate beside Zhi Zhi, whining and roaring, as if he also understood what had happened here!

This incident, under the auspices of the old pipe, ended hastily!

The old pipe motioned to the mute to take all the children back to the village, all arranged at Qingfeng's house, and rekindled a pile of firewood in the yard and burned all night!

Standing at the entrance of the village, you can also see the hot pot from the firewood burning illuminating the starlight!

-----------

"Lonely and cold world, and see who knows everything in the world"

"Touched by the red dust, smiled and asked the world for pity"

"Good a gentleman and have fun"

"Dancing Qiankun Breaking the Universe, I came from the Great Wilderness, and I can't recite my life!"

Thousands of years later, the great wilderness that once resounded throughout the universe will be loud again today!

By the river outside the village, the old pipe that has never left, opened his throat, hummed a tune that he had not tasted for many years, and the past was in front of him, and this body was probably like this, determined to make a big wish, but he couldn't catch up with the changes in the world, and when the manpower was finally exhausted, he still couldn't make up the sewing and patching here to the state it should be, and he was unwilling!

Although he has never been drunk and made trouble on the street, he is also called courteous in the world!

At this point, Dabei Reiro, the rain of the heavenly monarch, the heart is dead!
