The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1142 Thousand Ears in the Tomb

Fang Yun went to the mourning hall without eating.

The people of the Yun family were busy, and the relatives and friends of the Yun family were also busy. Fang Yun changed into a set of mourning clothes.

The funeral of the human race has been changing, and many contents of the Zhou Li are changing. As a guest, Fang Yun did not say much, but stood aside silently, watching the details of the funeral and experiencing the different "rituals" between the Xuemang Ancient Land and the Shengyuan Continent.

Fang Yun found that the funeral of the Xuemang Ancient Land was very simple. He had this feeling when the patriarch asked him to sleep in Yun Jie's room the day before yesterday, because according to the Zhou Li, Yun Jie's body should be placed in his bedroom, but Yun Jie's body was actually placed in the main hall.

Since Yun Jie was a Jinshi, he was a "scholar" in the Zhou Dynasty. According to the Zhou Li, the funeral was extremely complicated, including summoning souls, offering sacrifices, condolences, collecting clothes and quilts, building inscriptions, setting up flags, digging pits, arranging clothes, three utensils, washing corpses, arranging clothes again, dressing, entering pits, etc. This was only the first day, and the entire funeral would last for three days.

In Shengyuan Continent, only the funerals of monarchs, great scholars, or even semi-saints will last for several days. Other funerals are simple, such as the Mohist School, which advocates "economy in funerals". Some people do not hold funerals at all.

The Yun family held a soul-calling ceremony and sacrifices on the first day, but the people here did not send clothes and quilts to the deceased. They just washed the body and put new clothes on it, placed it in the main hall, and ordered people to make a tombstone.

On the first day, the Yun family sent invitations, saying that the funeral would be held in two days to bury Yun Jie, and only people with a very good relationship with the Yun family would come.

On the second day, the final preparations were made. Today is the third day, and the funeral was officially held.

The Yun family in Changle Street is a famous family in Juyun City. When the time came, the entire Changle Street was blocked by carriages. Even the city lord sent his eldest son to come. The whole process went smoothly.

After an hour, the Yun family was almost crowded with guests.

In the mourning hall, the four families of the main family of the Yun family knelt on the left, while Fang Yun and other relatives of the Yun family or Yun Jie's friends stood on the right. They did not kneel, but they would salute if there were guests to pay their respects.

Fang Yun did not have deep feelings for Yun Jie, but he was also a comrade-in-arms who killed the monsters together. He also got so much dragon-patterned rice. It was a basic etiquette that scholars should guarantee to participate in the funeral as a friend.

Fang Yun did not feel that he owed the Yun family. He fabricated his identity not to obtain undue benefits, but to protect himself. He did not hurt anyone, which was not evil.

Confucius openly violated the covenant that he was forced to sign, saying that the gods would not listen to such a covenant. Scholars disguised themselves in the danger of death and did not harm others, which did not violate the basic principles of scholars.

If you don't even understand this principle, you are not worthy of being a scholar.

The whole house was covered with mourning, crying, and mourning music, and the whole Yun family was gloomy.

Near noon, someone outside suddenly cried out in a sobbing voice: "What happened? I saw my elder brother a few days ago, how could he just leave like that..."

Fang Yun was stunned. This voice was too familiar. The owner of this voice, Jinshi Yun Ao, Yun Jie's cousin, was the one who said the most bad things about him in Yun Town.

Afterwards, Yun Ao rushed into the house with the rest of his friends, walked quickly to Yun Jie's coffin, and knelt down to kowtow.

Other people did not touch the ground with their foreheads, but Yun Ao kowtowed three times in a row, shaking the dust on the beams and stopping the crying in the mourning hall.

Fang Yun looked carefully and saw that the five people did not have time to put on mourning clothes. They were dusty and exhausted. It seemed that they hurried back after getting the news outside.

When Yun Ao raised his head, there was a clear bruise on his forehead.

Yun Ao knelt and cried in front of the head of the family, Yun He. He kowtowed three times and cried, "My nephew deserves death. He didn't come back in time to see my elder brother for the last time. Please punish me, uncle!" Yun He's eyes were red. He stood up and helped Yun Ao and said, "It's good that you are back. I know you are out of town." Yun Ao cried, "When I was a child, I chatted with my elder brother. We talked about what would happen after I died. My elder brother said that if I, as a younger brother, died in battle, he would recognize my father as his father and take care of him until the end. At that time, I also told him that if he died in battle, I would regard my uncle as my father! From today on, you are also my father!" Yun He finally couldn't help it. Tears flowed down his face. He hugged Yun Ao and cried loudly. Seeing this scene, many people wiped their tears gently. If Fang Yun didn't know who Yun Ao was, his eyes would definitely be red. Unfortunately, Yun Ao's words in the restaurant were still vivid in his mind. Even if Yun Ao's words today were true, Fang Yun couldn't believe it. After the condolences, everyone ate at the Yun family and buried Yun Jie together.

After that, the guests left, and only a few people returned to the main hall of the Yun family with the Yun family.

In the main hall, only Jinshi, Juren and a few people of higher seniority sat.

The rest stood in the main hall, and those without literary positions stayed away from the main hall, and did not even have the qualification to listen.

"Close the door."

Yun He sat in the upper seat, his face was calm, his eyes were slightly swollen, and he looked even older.

The two young students by the door hurriedly closed the door.

Fang Yun took a glance, and except for himself, everyone here was a real member of the Yun family of Changle Street. Except for the main family of the fourth room, the rest were side branches.

The head of the family, Yun He, was a Jinshi, and the son of the third son, Yun Hu, was a Jinshi.

In addition, there were five Juren, twelve Xiucai and twenty-one Tongsheng.

This family was placed in the Shengyuan Continent, enough to become a famous family in a prefecture, and a famous family of extremely high status.

The literary rank in the Ancient Land of Xuemang is worthless, this was said by a great scholar in Shengyuan Continent.

The Blood Mang Ancient Land is very strange. The scholars here only need to obtain a very small amount of talent from the Holy Temple to be promoted, but what is actually injected into their Wen Palace is not only the talent of the Holy Temple, but also the power of the Blood Mang Ancient Land. The combination of the two powers makes it easy for them to be promoted to a literary position.

However, the scholars here are not recognized by the Holy Academy. The Holy Academy itself is the largest holy temple of the human race. It is not that the saints do not recognize it, but the power composed of the Holy Academy and all the holy temples in the Holy Yuan Continent does not recognize the scholars of the Blood Mang Ancient Land.

As for the reason, no one knows.

Moreover, if the scholars of the Blood Mang Ancient Land leave, their strength will drop by half or even one literary position!

The people of the Blood Mang Ancient Land hate the scholars outside, and their fear of reduced strength comes from their bones.

The voice of the head of the family, Yun He, sounded.

"You all already know that my son Yun Jie was killed by a demon bear. As the head of the Yun family and his father, this hatred must be avenged! So, prepare tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, the Yun family will go to the demon tribe. They will not return to Changle Street until they kill 2,000 demon bears!"

Everyone was stunned. This news was too abrupt. If the expedition failed, it would be very likely to ruin the entire family.

Yun Ao immediately shouted loudly: "Nephew swears to follow uncle to the death, avenge my cousin, and kill all the demon bears!"

Yun Hu looked a little gloomy, staring at everyone and said: "Yun Jie is the hope of my Yun family. If he is killed by a demon bear and we don't take revenge, how can my Yun family have the face to stay in Juyun City? There should be a thousand ears displayed in front of Yun Jie's tomb!"
