Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 763: The Eternal Emperor
After the emperor's death, a sad and solemn atmosphere lingered in the palace for a long time.

Several palace servants walked into the bedroom carefully, cleaned his body and changed his shroud.

As Gu Xu's soul gradually dissipated, the backlash force of the laws of heaven and earth also slowly receded.

The black lines on his skin that were as dense as spider webs began to fade little by little, and finally disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

As a saint with eternal youth and immortality, his complexion became rosy and healthy after his death. If he had not already lost his breath and heartbeat, others might have thought that he was not dead at all, but just fell into a deep sleep temporarily.

After the coffin is placed in the coffin, it will not be buried immediately.

The mourning hall is placed in the Fengtian Hall of the Zichen Palace, and the coffin will stay there for twenty-seven days for civil and military officials to pay their respects and mourn.

During this period, incense was burned continuously and funeral music was played.

At the same time, Gu Xu's daughter Gu Qingyan, under the persuasion of all officials in the name of "the country cannot be without a king for a day", "refused and declined three times" and finally "reluctantly" inherited the throne.

Of course, this is what is recorded in history books.

The actual situation is that Gu Qingyan completely collapsed when she learned that her father had left forever and would never play with her again or give her a teddy bear toy.

She fell to the ground, crying loudly, her cry mixed with heart-wrenching shouts: "I don't want to be an emperor! I only want my father!"

She cried until she was hoarse, and before her tears fell to the ground, blazing flames several feet high suddenly rose from her body, illuminating the entire hall as if it were covered by a scorching sun.

If there had not been a defensive formation in the palace to suppress this energy, the house and furniture would have been reduced to ashes long ago, and the entire hall would have turned into a sea of ​​fire in an instant.

In the end, it was Zhao Yan who held her hand and nodded on her behalf to agree to the advice of the civil and military officials.

From this we can see that the new emperor is young, and the power of the country will be held by Zhao Yan, who will become the empress dowager, for a long time to come.

Next, a ceremony called "Shangshi" will be held in the palace to determine the temple name and posthumous name for the late emperor.

The discussion went extremely smoothly, and the title of "Emperor Taizu Wen" was quickly unanimously approved without anyone raising any objections.

"Wen" is the highest evaluation among the posthumous titles of Emperor Dahuang.

Wen is the one who governs the world, Wen is the one who is morally knowledgeable, Wen is the one who is benevolent and loves the people, Wen is the one who has great virtue and influence, Wen is the one who teaches the world, Wen is the one who governs the country and establishes a good reputation... This posthumous title brings together the outstanding achievements in civil and military affairs, the outstanding contributions to the country, as well as the noble moral character and benevolent personality, and it is the highest praise.

During the short few years that Gu Xu was in power, the world of Great Wilderness underwent earth-shaking changes. In the end, in order to save all living beings, he was willing to sacrifice himself to resolve the disaster.

Everyone thought that he deserved the posthumous title.

There is another thing that has to be mentioned here.

A few years ago, officials from Daxia had gathered in the same palace to discuss a posthumous title for Emperor Tianxing. The word "Ling" was quickly passed by unanimous votes, and no one objected.

During the time when the late emperor's body was kept in Fengtian Palace, an unexpected incident occurred in the Great Wilderness.

Two years ago, Gu Xu traveled through time and space and came to this era with four "divine generals" who were chasing him.

Emperor Ye, who was standing alone in a daze in a corner of the Fengtian Palace, was the first to sense the abnormal fluctuations in the laws of heaven and earth.

She immediately understood that the Gu Xu in the past needed her help at this moment.

Without any hesitation, she disappeared like a stream of light, and in a flash she rushed to the battlefield in the northwest Gobi Desert. Seeing Gu Xu alive again, Ye Huang was filled with mixed feelings.

She couldn't help but sigh that she was like a stubborn piece of wood in the past. She stubbornly maintained her unnecessary pride even though the person she loved was still alive. When he left, she finally realized her mistake and wanted to cherish him, but it was too late.

At the moment when Gu Xu in the past was about to disappear, Ye Huang rushed forward regardless of everything and hugged him tightly.

It was obvious that he was only at the seventh level at that time, and he did not have that strong aura of the Tao that obsessed the dragon clan.

But Ye Huang still held him, sniffed him greedily for a long time, and even couldn't help but kiss him actively.

It seemed that he himself was enough to fascinate her deeply.

At this moment, she longed to possess a more powerful power, powerful enough to rewrite history and reverse the flow of time.

…………

Twenty-seven days later, it was the auspicious day for burial.

First, seventy-two people carried the coffin out of the palace gate, and then transported it to the mausoleum.

Gu Xu's mausoleum is located in the upper reaches of the Luo River, not far from Luojing. It has a superior terrain and beautiful scenery.

Normally, the emperor's mausoleum was built during his lifetime.

However, due to the short reign of Gu Xu and his young age when he died, the mausoleum could not be built in advance. In desperation, a group of practitioners were urgently mobilized recently to speed up the construction with the help of formations, so that the construction of the mausoleum could be completed quickly.

At the front of the funeral procession were sixty-four banner bearers, holding high the flags of all people, looking solemn and dignified.

They were followed by the emperor's guard of honor, holding all kinds of weapons, banners, and various paper-made objects. They were mighty and imposing.

Behind the coffin were the fully armed guards, and then the teams of civil and military officials, royal relatives, and carriages and sedan chairs that were lined up continuously.

Although Gu Xu had clearly stated before his death that if he passed away, the people should live their lives as usual and should not disrupt their livelihoods because of his death, and there was no need to mourn for him.

But on the day of his funeral, almost all the people in Luojing came spontaneously to see him off. Even people from surrounding counties traveled long distances just to see his coffin from afar, to mourn the king who gave his life to protect all living beings in the wilderness.

Zhao Yan held Gu Qingyan's little hand, sat quietly in the carriage, and followed closely behind the coffin.

"Mother, why are the people shouting 'Long Live the Emperor' in front of father's coffin?" On the way, Gu Qingyan heard the shouts of the people outside and couldn't help but wipe away his tears while looking up at Zhao Yan with some doubts.

"The Human Emperor is a benevolent and virtuous king in the ancient legends of the Great Wilderness. It is said that he shared the joys and sorrows with the people, defeated all the ghosts, pacified the floods, and benefited the people. He has countless outstanding achievements," Zhao Yan explained softly, "Although the Human Emperor may not have really existed, in the eyes of the people today, if the Human Emperor really came to the world, the great deeds he accomplished would be no different from what your father did."

The coffin was finally transported to the mausoleum.

When the time is right, the people will put the coffin into the tomb and put the burial objects in place. After completing all the rituals, the people will crawl back, lock the door of the tomb, and destroy the key on the spot.

Then they left the mausoleum and began to fill the tomb with soil until the burial was completed.

This process is called "Yanhuangtang".

From then on, the late emperor and the world were completely separated and belonged to two different worlds.
