After the guests bid farewell, tens of thousands of Longmen disciples walked into the mourning hall one by one to bid farewell to Nine Thousand Years Old.
Afterwards, Su Xiaoxiao walked out of the mourning hall holding the token.
Ye Qiu, Qilin, Cao Qingcheng, Changmei Zhenren, Tang Fei, Long Ye, Han Long, and Zhao Hu supported the spirit, carried the coffin outside, walked up the cliff, and placed the coffin on the bronze statue of Cao Yuan
before.
The bronze statue of Cao Yuan is fifteen meters high. It is dressed in green clothes and looking forward. Although it is a bronze sculpture, it is full of majesty, lifelike and inviolable.
In front of the bronze statue, there are four thick stone pillars with dragon patterns carved on them, which is magnificent.
At the foot of the bronze statue, there are three stone tablets.
The stone tablet on the left is engraved with Cao Yuan's life.
The stone tablet in the middle is engraved with the characters "The Nine Thousand Years Old Cao Yuan, the Master of Longmen Sect".
As for the stone tablet on the right, there are two sentences engraved on it.
"The dragon has been hidden in the sea and sky for nine thousand years, and the crane has been returning to the underworld for a hundred thousand years. Ye Qiu stood up crying!"
Ye Qiu told Qilin: "Go back and erect two more stone tablets and engrave the elegiac couplets sent by Mr. Tang and the God of War on them."
"Yes." Qilin agreed in a low voice.
After the coffin was placed, Master Longmei shouted loudly with a solemn expression: "Sound a salute."
Boom boom boom!
The forty-nine-gun salute resounded through the sky, and the mountains and rivers moved.
Master Changmei said again: "Bow!"
"Two bows!"
"Three bows!"
Finished bowing.
Ye Qiu knelt down on his knees and said, "Farewell nine thousand years old."
Boom!
Cao Qingcheng, Qilin and others followed and knelt down.
At the bottom of the cliff, more than 40,000 Longmen disciples knelt down at the same time and shouted in unison: "Farewell nine thousand years old."
The guests present also stood up one after another and said loudly: "Have a good trip, Mr. Cao."
The Taoist priest Changmei waved his robe and fired a flame talisman. In an instant, the coffin and Cao Yuan's body were engulfed in flames.
"Father……"
Su Xiaoxiao burst into tears.
At this moment, she was filled with grief and tears flowed down her face.
There were two lines of clear tears on Cao Qingcheng's beautiful face, and she whispered: "Brother, see you in the next life."
Ye Qiu, Qilin and others also had tears in their eyes.
Boom!
At this moment, there was a sudden thunder explosion.
Everyone looked up and saw that the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
A few minutes later, drizzle fell, and it seemed that God was also crying for Cao Yuan.
Everyone stood still after Cao Yuan's body was reduced to ashes.
Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward and, under the guidance of Master Changmei, put Cao Yuan's ashes into a sandalwood box one by one with his hands.
The ceremony is over.
The scene was completely silent.
Tens of thousands of people stood in the rain, unwilling to leave for a long time.
Ye Qiu stood on the top of the cliff, clasped his hands in his fists, bowed ninety degrees to the guests present, and said: "Thank you for being here today to bid farewell to the nine thousand years old. Ye and the entire Longmen family are very grateful."
"If you have something to do in the future and need Longmen, feel free to ask."
"Here, on behalf of everyone at Longmen, I would like to thank everyone."
There was a hum of humility in the square below.
"Master Ye, you don't have to be polite."
"It is our honor to be able to see Mr. Cao off on his last journey."
"Yes, Lord Ye Clan really doesn't need to be polite to us. Since the establishment of Longmen, the underground order has improved a lot. No one is causing trouble in our business. It is what we should do to see Mr. Cao off."
"..."
Ye Qiu continued: "I would like to take this opportunity to announce something. I hope the friends present can tell it to your friends in the world."
"Jiu Qian Sui chose me to take over as the leader of the Dragon Gate. I will definitely inherit Jiu Qian Sui's legacy and complete the things that Jiu Qian Sui did not finish during his lifetime."
"Starting today, Longmen begins to incorporate all underground forces in China."
"Longmen will unify all the underground forces in China within half a year!"
"Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish."
Ye Qiu's voice was like thunder, reaching the ears of everyone present.
Everyone present was shocked.
Although Longmen gained Miao territory and conquered fourteen northern provinces, as well as several places such as Jiangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, the underground forces in many provinces have not been cleared away.
Ye Qiu's words were undoubtedly declaring war on the underground forces in those provinces.
The guests looked at the slightly delicate face on the cliff, and they all had a question in their hearts.
Can he unify all the underground forces in China within half a year?
Ye Qiu told Han Long: "See off the guests for me."
"yes."
Han Long took the order and left quickly.
Ye Qiu glanced at the urn in Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Let's go to the Nu River."
Soon, they took the Pluto Palace helicopter and arrived at the Nu River.
Ye Qiu and others got off the plane and found a place with beautiful scenery. Su Xiaoxiao opened the urn, and then she and Ye Qiu took Cao Yuan's ashes out of the box one by one and scattered them into the Nu River.
"Every life, every tree and grass will turn into dust in the end." The military god said with emotion.
Master Changmei wanted to recite a poem, but his throat moved, and he finally held back.
He was afraid that Ye Qiu would beat him after reciting it.
Seeing Cao Yuan's ashes flowing eastward along the roaring river, Ye Qiu was filled with emotion. He thought of a poem and recited it softly: "The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes."
"Success or failure turns into nothing."
"Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns."
"White-haired Yuqiao River is blocked, and I am used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze."
"A cup of wine brings happiness to each other."
"So many things in ancient and modern times are all made fun of!"
Seeing Ye Qiu's low mood, the Army God comforted him: "Life is still long, Ye Qiu, don't let Cao Yuan's death affect your mood."
"I know." Ye Qiu understood that he still had a lot of things to do.
The God of War reminded Ye Qiu again: "You have killed Long Si and three people this time, and the Forbidden City will definitely be furious. Before those old guys come out of seclusion, you have to make preparations in advance, just in case."
"Yeah." Ye Qiu hummed.
The ashes are scattered.
Everyone took a helicopter back to Miao territory, but the military god did not get off the plane and flew directly to the capital.
"Ye Qiu, everything here has been dealt with, so I won't stay any longer. There are still things waiting for me in the Hades Palace, so I will go back with the soldiers first," Tang Fei said.
Ye Qiu said gratefully: "Thank you very much this time. I will treat you to a drink when we meet next time."
"It's a deal."
Tang Fei and Long Ye left with the Hades Palace soldiers.
Master Changmei also said goodbye: "Little bastard, make preparations after you go back. I will come to you in a week at most and take you to find the thousand-year elixir."
"Okay." Ye Qiu agreed.
All the guests also left.
Ye Qiu ordered Zhao Hu to let the Dragon Gate disciples present return to their respective stations. After a while, only Ye Qiu, Cao Qingcheng, Qinglong, Qilin, Han Long, Su Xiaoxiao, and Su Luoying were left on the scene.
They will keep vigil for Cao Yuan here for three days.
Three days later.
The wake is completed.
The night before leaving Miaojiang, Cao Qingcheng suddenly broke into Ye Qiu's room late at night and asked Ye Qiu to drink with her.
Downed a few glasses of wine.
Ye Qiu suddenly realized something was wrong and glared at Cao Qingcheng: "You poisoned the wine? What do you want to do?"
