But after the incense was burned, people did not leave. They were waiting for an explanation, an explanation from the General Affairs Department and Qixing.

Under the gaze of everyone, a Qianyan Army accompanied by the rising sun and the cockcrow in the morning came to the Yujing Platform and let the voice travel to every corner with the wind: "Pass the official announcement of the Seven Stars:

Everyone needs to know that although a flying dragon or a flying lin may live longer than a mountain, they will eventually turn into ashes.

In the immortal book of the emperor, the destiny is the sun and the moon, but sometimes it is cloudy and sunny, which coincides with the thunder disaster.

There are many rumors on the streets that the Japanese Emperor was assassinated, but they are not true.

The emperor suffered a catastrophe and his soul returned to heaven. Therefore, I would like to inform Liyue and pray for the people to express their condolences and avoid being heartbroken.

Also, don’t listen to rumors and make assumptions. "

On the other side, Zhongli, Ying and Paimon chatted together after the ceremony.

"Hmm! Why did Qixing's explanation become like this? Have they given up on finding the murderer? Or... have they already known that Zhongli's death was faked?"

Paimeng looked at Zhongli. The meaning of this edict was that the Rock God encountered a natural disaster and died under it.

Facing Paimeng's suspicious gaze, Zhongli nodded simply, "Well, after the transaction of the Heart of God was completed, I told certain people in the Seven Stars and the immortals."

"Oh?! But how did you tell them?"

Zhongli smiled and said, "A magical method called Dream Enlightenment is perfect for conveying messages."

"But aren't you ready to let Liyue go on alone? Why do you still tell them that you are still alive?" Ying was confused and felt that Zhongli's approach was somewhat contradictory.

"Human desires are unlimited. If there are no limits, they will eventually lead to self-destruction. Today's Qixing is indeed very competent, but what about the future."

Zhongli is always like this, he always thinks about distant things.

"Seeing the undead emperor in a dream would be a good restriction. They can develop Liyue according to their ideas, but they cannot use this power as they wish, because they know that the emperor is still watching them!"

Ying and Paimon shook their heads, they couldn't understand this politically charged approach.

The three of them continued to walk in the ceremony of sending immortals, feeling the last thoughts of the people of Liyue for Emperor Yanwang.

On the other side, Wang Daoyi took Xiangling and offered a stick of incense to Emperor Yan Wang before leaving Yujing Terrace. He was afraid of meeting Zhongli in person and couldn't help laughing.

After leaving Yujingtai, Wang Daoyi did not return to Wanmin Hall with Xiang Ling, but came to Purangsheng Hall.

Compared with the funeral held by myself on the Yujing stage, what was discussed in the hall of the dead was the real funeral.

An old man with gray hair sat in front of Hu Tao, carefully reading the copy prepared by Hu Tao.

"Uncle Tian!"

Wang Daoyi said hello and sat between Hu Tao and the old man.

The old man looked at Wang Daoyi and nodded; "How is the ceremony for sending immortals?"

The old man was Tianshu, one of the seven stars. He did not go to attend the immortal ceremony, but came to the Hall of Rebirth in order to prepare for the funeral of those Qianyan Army who died in the disaster.

"Zhongli's guest performance was perfect. No scholar can find fault with him." Wang Daoyi answered truthfully.

Uncle Tian nodded; "That's good. The emperor left suddenly, and many people are ready to make a move. Although Ningguang acted quickly, there are still people lurking. At this time, we can't make any mistakes."

Then he turned to look at Hu Tao.

"Hall Master Hu, if hundreds of people hold a funeral at the same time, can the Hall of Purity be able to bear the responsibility?"

After the disaster, although the General Affairs Department immediately carried out rescue operations and rescued most of the seriously injured people, hundreds of people were still killed before dawn.

Faced with such a big list, Hutao was not as quirky as before, nor was he as naughty and cute as usual, and he had the same solemn look on his face.

"There are not that many ceremonial officials in the Hall of Purity, and the manpower cannot handle such a large-scale funeral!"

Hu Tao's answer made Uncle Tian a little distressed. The compensation for the fallen soldiers had been completed, but the matters behind these soldiers were also very important.

The silence between Uncle Tian and Hu Tao made Wang Daoyi think of a solution.

"Hall Master Hu, if the Gossip Hall is only responsible for the final death ceremony, and Qian Yanjun is responsible for the other steps, can it be held at the same time?"

Funerals in the Hall of the Past are very complicated. Often, dozens of ceremony officials are needed for one person's funeral. However, these ceremony officials are usually responsible for a whole set of funerals.

include:

Small coffin: cleanse the body, make it look good, and put it on a shroud.

Funeral announcement: formally informing relatives and friends near and far about the time and circumstances of death and funeral arrangements. There are often strict regulations on the situation and sequence.

Funeral: Relatives and friends come from other places to attend the funeral, bringing gifts, gifts, elegiac couplets, wreaths, etc.

Suspended: Also known as temporary residence, the corpse is parked in the mourning hall for a few days, waiting for relatives and friends who come to mourn; it also helps to confirm death rather than coma and suspended animation.

Wake: During the mourning period, relatives and friends who are already present, especially the deceased’s juniors, take turns guarding the deceased in the mourning hall.

Big coffin: In front of the family members, the deceased is moved into a coffin covered with mattresses, covered with a quilt, and nails are nailed to seal the coffin.

Funeral and Burial: Take the coffin to the cemetery for burial.

Death ceremony: After the burial, the death ceremony will be held in the death hall to send the deceased into the narrow space between life and death.

Such tedious steps must not be possible for hundreds of people at the same time.

So Wang Daoyi thought of a way to leave all the preparations to Qianyan Army, and the Rebirth Hall was only responsible for the rebirth ceremony after the burial.

Hearing what Wang Daoyi said, Hutao nodded, and light appeared in Meihua's eyes that were originally silent.

"Okay, okay, all the previous steps can be replaced by the Qianyan Army. Only the final ritual of death requires the ceremony officer of the Death Hall!"

Immediately, Hutao explained the various processes of the funeral to Uncle Tian, ​​breaking it down step by step, writing out the steps, and finally handed them over to Qianyanjun to make them familiar with them.

After watching Uncle Tian leave, a thought flashed through Wang Daoyi's mind. Perhaps this was Liyue's first official state funeral!

Chapter 104 Letter

Liyue, Wuwangpo

Thousands of people gathered here, with more or less sadness on their faces. They were the families of those Qianyan Army soldiers who died.

And now, it was the funeral of their brother, father, and son.

A group of four Qianyan troops carried a thick but not gorgeous coffin. In the coffin, sleeping was their former comrade-in-arms.

At the front, Hutao is wearing a brown Chinese-style long coat, a piece of white cloth, a Qiankun Taigua hat on his head, and holding a red cane, looking solemn and solemn.

Looking up at the sky, Hutao turned towards the Qianyan Army who stood like statues.

"The time has come for burial!"

Like an opened machine, Qian Yanjun took heavy steps and sent the coffins on his shoulders into the prepared tomb one by one in an orderly manner.

The family members who were watching the ceremony could not restrain their emotions and burst into tears.

When all the hundreds of heroes were buried, Hutao raised his hand, and a wisp of red flame bloomed on the staff of Humo.

"Rite of death, Kai!"

Dozens of ceremonial officials from the Purangsang Hall held white sails and surrounded Hu Tao, performing the last rituals.

On the distant mountain peak, Wang Daoyi looked towards the funeral site

In his field of vision, pure white souls emerged from the tombs, looking at their relatives with sad expressions.

However, no soul wants to stop in the world of the living. Just like when they were training with their comrades, they lined up in a queue and marched neatly into the narrow space between life and death.

Wang Daoyi knew that they did not regret their sacrifice in the disaster.

When the last soul entered the narrow realm of life and death, Hu Tao lowered the Humo Staff he held high. There was no trace of blood on his face, and he resisted the dizziness in his mind due to excessive blood loss.

"Erect the monument and the ceremony is completed!"

The ceremonial officers of the Hall of Purity left the scene surrounded by Hu Tao, while the Qianyan Army erected rock-carved tombstones in front of the tomb, then gathered, saluted the cemetery, and finally left the scene in the same orderly manner.

Next, it’s time for family members to pay their respects.

Listening to the increasingly violent and sad cries, Wang Daoyi withdrew his gaze and left.

……

Time is always the greatest force.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye. On the surface, the emperor's departure and Qianyanjun's grand funeral seemed to have left no trace in Liyue Port.

It's just that I don't know whether anything remains in people's hearts and what disappears.

Close the "Basic Pharmacology" in your hand. When Wang Dao looked outside the tea room, he noticed that someone was observing him.

This "Basic Pharmacology" was given to him by Baizhu. Half a month ago, Hutao used the power of the Humo Staff to force hundreds of people to die. His blood essence was burned up by the "Unruly Fire", and his whole body was burned. Everyone fell into a state of suspended animation. Fortunately, Wang Daoyi took her to Bubu Lu in time. Baizhu used a lot of precious medicinal materials to stabilize Hutao's condition.

It has to be said that Bai Shu's medical skills are really strong. In the past two days, Hall Master Hu has been able to promote her package full time.

Looking outside the tea room, Wang Daoyi quickly locked eyes on a person. In fact, it was not difficult to find. After all, it was not uncommon for a person wearing winter clothing to appear among a group of Liyue dock workers.

When he realized that he was seen by Wang Dao, the winter man stopped hiding and walked into the dock teahouse openly.

"A man who fools everyone?" Wang Daoyi looked at the other party and then asked.

The visitor nodded and took out a letter.

"Yes, Your Excellency Wang Daoyi, this is a letter from our executive officer [Doctor] of Fools!"

"PhD?"

Wang Daoyi was surprised. If the young master wrote to him, he would not have any reaction, because he had received several letters from Dadalia in the past few days, all of which were inviting Wang Daoyi to fight.

But [Doctor], a fool and executive officer he had never met before, wrote to him, which really made him confused.

"Doctor, what can I get from you?"

Wang Daoyi asked.

The fools and the messengers shook their heads. This is not something that a messenger can know.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm just a messenger!" With that, he handed the letter to Wang Daoyi and then turned around and left.

After opening his elemental vision and confirming that there was no manipulation on the letter, Wang Daoyi opened the letter with great interest.

[This is from a friend of mine:

It's been a while since we said goodbye to the village. I wonder if you are still well?

What happened in the past was originally caused by the people of the Treasure Thief Group begging for help, but they couldn't bear it and almost made a big mistake.

Having been punished by the emperor and taught by the queen, I already feel repentant.

I got some advice from my colleague [Young Master] and I know that you and I have the same interests and like to study very much.

I feel happy in my heart and want to make friends with the same path.

After thinking about it, I thought of Sumeru, the country of wisdom.

The crystallization of his country's wisdom is called 'Void'

We are willing to explore this together with you

If you are interested, you can come to Beiguo Bank for a while

——The Seeker of Knowledge - Dotore】

Wang Dao had a headache after reading this half-written letter.

But he still saw it, and the doctor invited him to go to Sumeru to plot something called 'void'.

Wang Daoyi also had some understanding of 'void'. It was the legacy left by the Great Ci Tree King and relied on the God's Heart of the Grass God to exist.

"So, the doctor wants to take advantage of the grass god's heart and drag me onto the pirate ship?"

Wang Dao held his chin and thought secretly.

Compare the weight of offending the Grass God and Xumi with the weight of gaining the knowledge of 'void'.

Wang Daoyi quickly came to the conclusion that he could go.

Anyway, the person who controls the void now is the Great Sage. That guy is not a good person, and he will be offended if he offends him.

As for the Little Grass God, he is still half-imprisoned by the Great Sage. This young god does not have the power of Zhongli, and currently only has a part of the power of dreams.

So you are not afraid of being killed by the grass god who will destroy all three karma with one shot.

As for the Void, the legacy of King Daci Shu, Wang Daoyi traveled through it just before this thing was unveiled. He knew that this thing was comparable to a supercomputer. If he could get control of it, even only part of it, he could gain access to massive amounts of data. The computing power is enough for him to make further progress based on the current situation.

However, you can go if you can, but it is best to say hello to your parents before going out.
