"First, my Ji clan's ancestral land is still in the hands of Xirong, and when you wait for the future, you must take back your ancestral homeland from Rong Di. You must know that starting from the ancestors of Houji, there are the tombs of our ancestors for generations. ”

Defeat Rong Di and return to his homeland, this is a wish for revenge.

"Second, my Ji ancestor Houji, and the merchant ancestor contract, are half-brothers, and they are also the brothers of Emperor Yao. Now it has become Tang Haohao, the largest state in the world, and my Ji clan is trapped in the hands of Rong Di in the border land, how declining. In the future, you must prosper my Ji clan to feast on the temple. ”

Prospering the clan to serve the ancestors, this is the wish of Xingzhou.

"Third, in the past, when our ancestors were gone, the Jedi Tiantong no longer raged the people. But after that, the sacrifice was a matter of the state, but Wu Zhu had the opportunity to get involved in state affairs. Among the countries, there are often witches who oppress the monarch. When I established the Zhou Kingdom, I didn't want to set up a witch wish, but Rong Di was strong, and we had to use the witch wish as a help. Wait for you to write down, one day, Wu Zhu will no longer be able to act recklessly. ”

Suppressing Wu Zhu to pacify the people is the wish of the king.

Revenge, Xingzhou, and the royal road are the three wishes left by Ji Yan.

A hundred years later, Ji Ji was called the ancient father. The future Ji clan called these three wishes the three wishes of the ancient prince.

Ji Kang's expression was excited, and after saying these three last wishes, he held Ji Chang's hand tightly,

"Grandfather, rest assured, Chang will definitely assist your uncle and uncle to fulfill your wish with his life's work. If it cannot be fulfilled, these three vows will be passed on to future generations, and future generations will not dare to forget it a little. ”

Ji Chang knelt beside Ji Yan and said to him sadly.

Ji Yan looked at his grandson, who was pregnant with four breasts, with a peaceful face, and died suddenly in the Ji family's temple.

In his life, there were ups and downs, and when he was young, he took on a great responsibility, became the master of the Ji family, and began to follow the aspirations of his ancestors, restore the business of Houji and Gongliu, accumulate virtue and righteousness, and cultivate the land.

It's just that Rong Di didn't allow him to farm in the land, so Ji Ji had no choice but to take the people away and come to Zhou Yuan.

After visiting Emperor Shang in Yindu in the east, he received the support of Emperor Shang and began to establish state cities at the foot of this Qishan Mountain to fight against Rong Di.

In the following decades, the Zhou State gradually rose from a small amount and has today's scale, which is all due to Ji Yan.

Although Ji Kan Shouyuan is not short, more than 100 years old, but after all, he is alone, and he plans in his heart, and it is difficult to achieve all the success.

Therefore, there are three wishes.

These three wishes are all the pursuit of Ji Yan's life, and they are also the pursuit of Ji's ancestors until now.

No matter which one it is, Ji Ji at this time can't even see the dawn.

He designed the Great Sect Uncle and let the witch Tao be passed on to the Ji family, which can be said to be the first step for future generations.

Of course, he can only do it here. What will happen to future generations is no longer what he can expect.

······

"The emperor is God, and there is a great thing. Monitor the Quartet and seek the people's opinion. If these two countries are maintained, their politics will not be gained. The four countries of Vibi, study the degree. God is old and hateful. It is to look at the west, this dimension and the house. ”

Zhou Gongji's funeral was heavy and sad, and the entire Zhou Yuan fell into grief.

On the altar, holding a poisonous snake in each hand, the great uncle performed a strange dance while reciting verses in praise of God and Ji Yan.

Many children surnamed Ji mourned under the altar to mourn their ancestors.

Ji Kao was also among the brothers, watching the funeral go on.

At the same time, a feeling of thorns in his back always accompanied him.

He looked at the big uncle who was dancing on the high platform, and he also understood in his heart that it was probably this master who was still unwilling in his heart.

For dozens of days in a row, all kinds of rituals were complicated and complicated, and Ji Kao didn't have the heart to care about these things, but next to him, his younger brother Ji Fa watched with relish.

Today's Ji clan has just been out of Rongdi customs for decades, and various etiquette systems have not yet been completed.

The funeral etiquette mostly uses the etiquette of Yin Shang, but there are still some differences.

The people of Yin Shang believed that the soul came from the heavens, which belonged to the yang, and was in charge of people's spiritual consciousness, and that the spirit came from the earth, which belonged to the yin, and was in charge of the flesh and blood of people.

If the soul is united, people live, and those who are separated die.

After the two are separated, the soul ascends to heaven, enters the earth, and finally returns to the qi of heaven and earth. After the soul enters the sky, it is transformed into a god, and after it is corrupted into water and returns to the soil, the soul has a protective effect on future generations, and the soul of the ancestors is infinitely worshiped by the descendants.

What's more, in many families, after the death of their ancestors, the burial chamber is placed in the family house, and they can be sacrificed every day.

In this way, they thought, the ancestors would be able to protect them from time to time.

Of course, it is impossible for the Zhou people to accept the funeral rites of Yin Shang in their entirety, and there will naturally be trade-offs.

But the general process is still pretty much the same.

It is used to test life and death, and the new floc is placed on the mouth and nose of the deceased, because the new floc is extremely subtle, once there is breathing, it can give birth to changes, so it is used to test whether the deceased is completely out of breath.

Once you've decided to cut off your breath, it's time for the next step to summon spirits.

When a person is about to die, relatives think that the soul is still there, and they have to make the final retention.

Conjuring spirits, moving corpses, wedged teeth, embellishing feet, setting up, and drapery, these are the six things of conjuring spirits.

It is easy to understand that the wedge teeth are to prevent the deceased from closing his mouth and inconvenience, and the foot decoration is to prevent the deceased's feet from stiffening and inconvenient to change his life shoes. The foundation is for the ghosts and gods to rely on, and the curtain is to cover the face of the dead.

These six things are collectively called complex.

Recovery, the way of love. There is a heart of prayer for the shrine, looking against the ghosts, and seeking the way of the ghosts and gods.

The great uncle set up sacrifices on the altar and danced with snakes, hoping for the soul of the deceased.

The living held the upper and lower garments of the deceased, climbed from the east corner of the main house to the roof, facing the north of the netherworld, holding the collar in one hand and the waist of the robe in the other, and vigorously raised the name of the deceased and called for the return of his soul. If it is repeated in the third case, it means that the soul of the deceased has been attached to this garment. Then he rolled up his clothes and threw them under the house, and the other person quickly covered the deceased and brought him back to life.

The people who do these things are all Ji Kao's uncles and fathers, of course, they are several descendants, and the concubines do not have this qualification.

Further back, there are dozens of days of crying and mourning.

Crying and mourning is the mourning of the family, Ji Kao and their descendants are all sitting in the East, and the housewives and sisters are sitting in the West, according to the rules of Yin Shang, crying three times a day.

Mourning is the coming of outsiders to mourn. After receiving the obituary, they came to the door to mourn the deceased, comfort the living, and give gifts.

As the lord of the state, some nearby states and clans have sent envoys to mourn.

Even Shang Tianzi also sent people over to express his condolences to show his importance to the Zhou State.

Of course, during and after this, there are various other processes, such as inscription, bathing, meals, wearing, small burials, sending guests, large burials, funerals, burials, and so on.

After a whole set of processes, plus restrictions on eating and drinking, everyone in the Ji family is extremely thin.

Ji Kao finally understood why from the state of the funeral, it can be seen whether a person is filial or not.

For such a funeral, if anyone can still blush, or even gain weight instead of losing weight, it is absolutely useless.

Of course, the Ji family style is excellent, and everyone is grateful for Ji Yan's virtue and falls into deep thought and mourning.

Even, among all the states, the matter of the death of the first prince and the assumption of a new monarch was not mentioned by the Ji family at this time.

Even the envoys of various countries who came to mourn, as well as the condolence officials sent by the Shang Emperor, could not help but sigh.

"The virtue of the Zhou family is beyond the reach of our state. ”

Especially the envoy of the Shang Emperor, compared with the hundreds of years of Yin Shang, because of the turmoil in the royal family, the world is uneasy, and he feels even more embarrassed.

He decided that after he returned, he must preach to Emperor Wu Yi of Shang the virtues of the Ji clan he had seen.

······

Ji Kao didn't particularly care about all of this, and he just followed the crowd.

Only the scene of the last burial made Ji Kao the most frightened, and his expression changed greatly.

After the guests were sent away, the burial ceremony of sending Ji Kang to the mausoleum began.

All kinds of bronze ceramics and jade were buried together, needless to say, it was necessary for the burial of the lord of the state.

In particular, the royal family of Yin Shang heard that the practice of accompanying funerals was extremely popular, and all states and countries were vying to follow suit.

However, when dozens of slaves who were pressed by the sergeant outside the mausoleum, as well as some concubines and maidservants of his great-grandfather, arrived, Ji Kao was shocked.

Is this to be buried?

After death, someone is buried, and in many cases, it represents the mourning of the deceased. It is said that in the world of the dead, these martyrs will become subordinates of the deceased.

Seeing those slaves with dead faces, as well as the concubines and maids with frightened faces, Ji Kao's heart was like a big drum beating.

He knew that in this world, there was a system called martyrdom, and he thought it was normal.

However, when these people who were about to be buried appeared in front of him, Ji Kao was moved.

In his heart, a trace of thought flashed, at this time, it is better not to stand up, to fight against the rules of the world, or to let it go. Wait until you have the ability to change these bad habits in the future.

This idea was just a flash, and it was immediately vetoed by Ji Kao.

If they all think like him, then those who shoot the sun, those who shoot the sun, those who go by the sun, those who fight the sky, and those who control the waters, will not exist in the world.

Among the predecessors, there are those who are not afraid of hardships and dangers and death, and among the descendants, there are tens of millions of people who have gone to me.

It's his turn, two lives as a human being, and the strange circumstances are rare in the world. If you know that what is not right in front of you, how can you be timid, look ahead and look backwards, and turn a deaf ear to protect yourself?

"Two uncles, grandfather, may I ask what you are going to do here?"

The ceremony was underway, and the slaves and concubines were driven away by the soldiers into the king's tomb. Suddenly, Ji Kao's voice reached the ears of Ji Taibo and his three brothers.

It's not loud, but it's resolute.

"Ah, these slaves and concubines will go to the world of the dead to accompany your great-grandfather and not make him feel lonely. ”

Facing this strange grandchild, Ji Taibo stroked his long beard and answered him very patiently.

"But great-grandfather, will he like this?"

Ji Kao's question was like a stone thrown into the water, and it suddenly set off waves.
