Li Longyuan nodded to Zhou Gu, but glanced at the elders. He wanted to use this funeral to piece together an image and concrete picture of Li Chengqian.
The rest of the family, including the head of the branch family, were also willing to stand up after Zhou Gu took the lead. Most of them talked about things that happened after the 1980s. At that time, Li Chengqian was already an old man with slightly frosty temples.
As for the old head of the family when he was young, even the elders of the family who have separated can't tell. They only know that when he was young, Li Chengqian liked to travel, his whereabouts were erratic, and he visited more than 100 countries around the world.
I also like to listen to operas, sit alone in the audience and watch the actors dance and sing opera tunes that no one can understand in the wind, flowers, snow and moon.
When the love is strong, he shakes his head and sighs, "Everyone in the world wants to get what they want, but how can they get everything they want in this world? It's just a big dream that will destroy the illusion for thousands of years."
He once measured the entire world with his own steps. After coming back, he did not leave the country for thirty years, only studying the general trend of the world on the chessboard.
Li Longyuan knew that his grandfather had passed away, but he was still playing chess. But he could not predict the treacherous momentum of this wave, nor could he see the future pattern of the world.
Maybe he just didn't want to guess.
At this time, Li Tu, the most senior member of the Zong family, stood up. He was wearing a smart Tang suit, with energy and blood all over his body. Even though his sturdy body was slightly hunched, he could not tell the signs of decline in Feng Zhu's waning years.
"If we talk about the achievements of the old patriarch in his life, it lies in the combination of king and domineering, and the combination of oddity and righteousness."
"Govern the tribe with kindness, use strict methods to deal with disobedient ministers, enter the world with cunning tactics, and emerge from the world with upright methods."
"The ability of Orthodoxy to maintain its transcendent status in this ever-changing era is inseparable from the forward-looking vision and governance of the old patriarch."
Li Tu said that everyone in the Orthodox world frowned in thought. Indeed, Kassel College has been able to develop rapidly within a hundred years. Although its heritage collection is not as good as Orthodox, it has been able to gather mixed-race elites from all over the world for its use. It is not impossible.
People who look down upon.
In this regard, Li Chengqian succeeded in taking the essence and discarding the dross. While introducing new technologies and new ways of development, he also maintained the independence of orthodoxy and transcendence.
The prosperous Tang Dynasty he created has now become a cover for orthodox people to walk outside. It is much better than the days when they carried swords and drew swords, and wore coarse linen and linen clothes like ascetics to enforce martial law in the jurisdiction.
"Actually, if the head of the family wants to know about the past of the old head of the family, the best way is to go to the deepest part of the inner study room of the collection room to read the biography written by the old head of the family. There are the deepest secrets hidden there."
Li Tu solemnly took out a brass key from his Tang suit in front of everyone.
He had seen the style of this key before. When he succeeded the orthodox true king, there was a similar key among the items inherited.
"The inner study room of Ganlu Palace, no, including the entire Yunding Heavenly Palace, are made of the highest standards of alchemy. Without a key, it is difficult to open the door with external force, and the internal space may even trigger a self-destruct program."
"The inner study requires three keys to open at the same time. One is in the hands of the elder of the clan, one is in the hands of the true king, and the other is kept by the head of the family."
"And the secret that has been inherited for thousands of years is in the inner study. No one can know it except the successive heads of the family who can enter and know it."
Li Tu respectfully handed over the key.
The young man took it solemnly. He knew that there was the most secret thing in the study room. He had been curious to explore it countless times, but he was always blocked by his grandfather's cold and stern face.
Now that it's about to be revealed, I feel extremely calm.
"A coffin."
He complied with his grandfather's last wish and did not have the custom of seven days of burial. However, after everyone gathered in front of the coffin and knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, four delinquents in uniforms with white ribbons on their heads came forward with knives and carried the coffin out.
Main hall, transported to Yunchi.
That is the center of the entire Yunding Heavenly Palace. It can also be said that the source of power that maintains the operation of the entire Nibelung alchemy comes from there.
Tens of thousands of brightly colored koi carp were swimming in the clouds and mist, with their heads slightly exposed. No one saw the water, but no one dared to approach that area.
No one knows how deep the cloud pool is, how terrifying it is, and where it is connected to. What's more, there are real immortal species, Baxia, raised below.
The coffin made of golden nanmu tilted all the way down the slide and fell into the unfathomable sea of clouds, attracting thousands of carps to rush to worship.
"Let's go back."
After Li Longyuan stopped in place for a while, he waved his hand and returned to Tai Chi Hall with a large number of orthodox members.
A deep beast-like roar vibrated along the hydraulic water flow, and golden pupils as big as copper bells opened in the mist-like water, with ferocious malice revealed in the huge eyelids.
Ba Xia opened his ferocious huge dragon head, each tooth was as sharp and slender as the bronze spear held by King Wu's soldiers when he conquered Zhou. It swallowed the coffin in one gulp in the darkness, and wandered away deeper with its long rugged tail.
At this moment, the entire Yunding Heavenly Palace can hear the solemn ringing of the nine bells to commemorate the death of the family leader.
…………
Early morning, Tai Chi Palace, Ganlu Palace
Most of the orthodox people paying their condolences today have dispersed. Except for the foreigners from the clan family who live in seclusion in Yunding Heavenly Palace, there are only bad people who are more valuable in daily rotation.
The skylight outside the palace was still blazing, and only by hiding inside the sealed palace could one barely get a breather in the darkness.
Li Yongyuan took the three keys and aligned them one by one on the wall behind the screen. He turned the blue and white porcelain vase and the mural to reveal the three hidden small holes. He poked them in and turned them one by one in different directions.
As the metal gears of the entire palace slowly rotated, a small door opened in the wall of the palace, which was made of gold and iron. Only one person could pass through. It was a unique cave.
Li Yongyuan walked in, and the door behind him slowly pushed and closed again, and there was no gap in the wall.
This is a narrow secret room, lit by an ever-burning lamp that is said to be made of shark fat. It is ventilated and can burn for ten thousand years. It was actually taken from Deadpool, who has a dangerous bloodline.
With the golden eye's night vision ability, he could clearly see the furnishings of this small house regardless of whether there was a bright light or not.
There is only a bookcase, a desk and a chair.
Beside the desk is a heavy bronze box with Hebrew characters engraved on it, carrying the seven deadly sins.
Li Longyuan did not focus on it, but first looked at the few collections on the bookcase.
Almost all of them are biographies that record historical events, such as the turmoil and unofficial anecdotes of the late Qin, late Han, late Jin, late Tang, late Song, late Yuan, late Ming.
There is a map spread on the antique desk. It is not a modern map with longitude and latitude lines, but an extremely abstract map that only depicts the directions of mountains, rivers and rivers, like an ink painting.
Li Longyuan could vaguely make out the famous Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, Han and Tang Mausoleums, Song Tombs, and Ming Xiao Tombs.
These are areas secretly guarded by orthodox personnel. They have been doing this job for thousands of years, and there are more and more tombs that need to be guarded.
why?
As a mausoleum keeper, there must be the meaning of guarding the mausoleum. As a true king, Li Yongyuan once did not need to understand it, but now that he is the head of the family, he should know the meaning of the continuation of orthodoxy.
