The next day, everyone in the "Liuyun Escort Bureau" was busy preparing for tomorrow's funeral. Liu Yu didn't understand the world and couldn't help much, so he practiced in the house.
Later, Mrs. Ai called me to talk to her about her parents. During this period, she was very curious about Liu Yu's life of cultivating immortals in Huangsheng Mountain, and asked her many times. Liu Yu also answered all questions about her kind mother.
At night, Liu Qing took Liu Yu to the mourning hall to pay homage and explain the matters to be paid attention to during the funeral tomorrow.
It was still dark, and at around midnight, bursts of mournful music could be heard from the west gate of Jiuzheng County. The Liu family of "Liuyun Escort Agency" was conducting a funeral.
The long procession of coffins was parked in place and ready. In the middle of the procession was the "Eight Immortals Team", which contained seven large mahogany coffins. There were no corpses in the coffins, only the clothes they usually wore and weapons used for martial arts training.
Standing next to each wooden coffin were eight men wearing white linen filial piety gowns. These are the "Eight Immortals" in the world. The first White Eight Immortals led the group and began to chant the sacrificial verse loudly:
"Immortal Lord! Heaven and earth are open, days are auspicious and times are good. Our ancestors have been blessed with good deeds throughout their lives. Today, they cross the crane and ascend to heaven. The filial man holds the mourning staff, wears hemp and wears mourning to guard the grave; the filial daughter and daughter-in-law wear filial piety clothes, thinking about their loved ones will be unforgettable for eternity. Everyone
The Eight Immortals tied up the hearse together and put flowers on the golden coffin. The white crane spread its wings and stood on the head of the coffin. Flags fluttered in front. Relatives and friends came to the funeral and escorted the immortal body to the fairyland. Eight Immortals, listen to my words. After drinking the host's support,
When drinking heavily, the hearse must be carried steadily on the shoulders; Don't think about other people's biological parents, just like your own parents. Talk about twists and turns; don't panic when going up to the mountains and down the ridge; be careful when crossing ditches and gaps, and deliver them safely to the place where Niu sleeps
, the golden coffin falls in the center. The blessed person ascends the Feng Shui treasure land, and the descendants will be happy forever! The filial son and virtuous grandson lead the way, and the Eight Immortals lift it up together! Hoo——!"
After each sentence of the white-collar team member's drink, the remaining eight immortals echoed "ho!" and finally with a loud "ho" sound, the eight immortals kicked the wooden bench under the fallen coffin, lifted the coffin and started on their way.
Liu Yu, as the only eldest grandson left in the family, wore linen pure white mourning clothes and walked at the front of the spirit procession holding a huge white "soul-inducing flag".
Several distant relatives and descendants followed closely behind, holding "soul-calling curtains". Behind them were the relatives and friends led by Liu Qing. The female relatives and friends in the relatives and friends team were full of tears and howling, among which Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Song were the most popular.
, the two of them moved forward slowly with the support of their daughter.
The "Eight Immortals Team" was followed by a mourning band beating gongs and drums, followed by numerous servants carrying wreaths, incense candles, paper palaces, horses, jewelry, gold and silver, and finally four servants scattering paper money.
The entire spiritual procession looked like a giant white dragon, and under the leadership of Liu Yu, it walked towards the Thousand Burial Slope in the west of the city. Liu Yu, who was walking at the front, was stained by the extremely sad atmosphere, and the corners of his eyes were a little red.
He couldn't help but think in his mind that if his cultivation was fruitless, he would be buried by his relatives like this a hundred years later. Thinking of himself lying coldly in a wooden coffin and being carried to the cemetery, a cold air surged out of his heart, which made Liu Yu couldn't help but
My whole body trembled. Or maybe I was fighting with someone and died without a burial place.
"No, I will not die like a mortal. No matter how twists and turns the road to immortality is, even if there are no bones left, I can't stop myself from picking the fruit of immortality." Liu Yu gritted her teeth and made up her mind to go.
Fight for that ethereal fairy fate.
After the spirit team arrived at Qian Burial Slope, they began to bury the deceased. The whole ceremony was solemn, complicated, and time-consuming.
During this period, Liu Yu took the time to ask about his father and then came to a tomb not far away. Looking at this desolate tomb, Liu Yu felt extremely sad.
The entire tomb occupies a large area and is made of green adobe bricks stacked in the shape of a hill. Compared with some small mound-like tombs next to it, it looks very beautiful. However, there are some weeds growing around the tomb, which makes it look very desolate. In front of the tomb
There is a huge ink-colored stone tablet erected, on which is engraved: Tomb of loving father Liu Li
Sons Liu Xiao, Liu Jie, Liu Qingli
Liu Yu knelt forward, put the incense in her hand in front of the grave, then knelt down and worshiped. She said silently in her heart: Grandpa! My grandson Liu Yu swears that I will live up to your high expectations, embark on a long road to life, and never give up.
After kneeling down and worshiping, Liu Yu slowly stood up and cleaned the weeds around the tomb.
After the burial was completed, it was already noon, and all the relatives and friends of the Liu family rushed back to the Liuyun Escort Bureau. There were more than a hundred tables of food in the square of the Liuyun Escort Bureau, entertaining relatives, friends and neighbors. The funeral lasted all day and did not end until late at night. Late at night
In the quiet courtyard, sporadic crying sounds could still be heard.
A few days after the funeral, Liu Qing began to prepare for revenge. After discussion, the father and son decided to pretend to send out escorts again and pass by Mahu Mountain. The noise would be even greater than last time, luring Black Tiger Village to come and rob the escorts. Because this gang
The bandits were so cunning that the government could not find their stronghold and could only lure the snakes out of their holes.
In the next few days, Liu Qing visited the remaining escorts under the Liuyun Escort Bureau and invited them to join the escort team. However, most of the escorts found various excuses to evade.
Liu Qing couldn't help cursing these white-eyed wolves in his heart. Liuyun Escort Bureau has always provided them with a prosperous life, but they have become cowards when danger comes. These people are afraid of the innate masters in Black Tiger Village and think that their lives are in vain.
Even though Liu Qing told him that his son Liu Yu was also an innate master, these people still resisted. Obviously they didn't believe it, which made Liu Qing angry. Because if the number of escorts this time was too small, the noise would not be enough to lure the snake out of its hole.
"Dad, the children are young, so it's normal for them not to believe it. You invite them to come to Liuyun Escort Agency tomorrow, and then they will attack the children in person, so they won't shirk anymore." After hearing his father's complaint, Liu Yu thought for a while and said
.
"Okay! I'll send someone to invite them tomorrow, Yu'er, I'm going to embarrass you." Liu Qing heard what Liu Yu said and thought about it, this was the only way.
"Brother Li Tie, you are here too." A middle-aged man wearing an escort uniform greeted a strong man with a tiger head and bull's eyes next to him.
"Brother Wang Ming, aren't you here too? I'm just here to see the excitement, in front of all the brothers." The strong man replied in a rough voice.
"Brother Li, you're right. I think the escort agency is about to be disbanded. Escort Liu boasts that his young master is an innate master. Hehe! Didn't he say he was a scholar before?" The escort next to him was holding a long sword and looked cold.
Replied.
"I don't believe it either, but I should give Liu a face. Head Huo of the Wuwei Escort Agency in the south of the city, please ask me to go to them. Do you have any good places to go? If not, the Wuwei Escort Agency will still be short of people."
The escort surnamed Wang said with a sly smile.
Dozens of escorts gathered in the square of Liuyun Escort Bureau, and everyone was talking very noisily. It was obvious that Liu Qing, the chief escort officer, did not pay much attention to him. Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a little irritated as he looked at the messy scene below.
