Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

"It's about Tingyun, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

Yukong said softly.

"Miss Tingyun helped me a lot before. It's a comfort to be able to do something for her in the end."

A golden light flashed in Zhu Qing's hand, and a bow appeared in his hand.

"This is something I found while sorting out Miss Tingyun's belongings. It should be a gift for Ms. Yukong."

Yukong was a little dazed as she looked at the bow in Zhuqing's hand. She slowly stretched out her hand and took the longbow.

If you look closely, you can see that Yukong's eyes are slightly red.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhuqing."

"I just did some small things within my ability."

Zhu Qing shook his head again, changed the subject and looked at the three people.

"This is what you are doing?"

"Ah, we were invited to attend the funeral, but now it seems... there seems to be nothing we can do."

"You are guests of the Immortal Boat. You are already helping by coming here to bear witness."

Yukong's voice rang out. She had lived for so long, so it was natural that she could regulate her emotions very quickly.

"Have you finished your work with Mr. Zhuqing?"

"Ms. Bianzhi and Mr. Iwaaki have helped, and they have finished sorting it out."

"Tingyun should be very happy to have a friend like you."

Yukong paused. "The Star Raft prepared for the ceremony still needs final confirmation. Everyone is welcome to come and participate in the ceremony at any time. I need to go to Star Harbor to confirm the situation first."

"Well, we'll go there later."

After watching Yukong leave, the four of them also left.

March looked at the people around her, and the smile on her little face was gone.

"Looking at the way these people are now, I always feel a little uncomfortable."

"Hey, Zhuqing, are all Luofu funerals like this?"

"I'm not sure, but the funeral ceremony is unique to the Fox Clan. Most of the locals on Xianzhou live long lives, and before they die, they will fall into the devil's shadow and be hurriedly taken away by the Ten Kings."

"They are more accustomed to saying goodbye in a hurry. Only those foxes with shorter lifespans have such a ceremony."

Everyone was talking as they rushed towards their destination.

"When I was delivering gifts to Miss Tingyun, I unexpectedly received quite a few. If you are interested, please help me choose."

"If Miss Tingyun knew that so many people still cared about her, she would probably be very pleased."

Zhu Qing shook his head.

"Funerals aren't really for the dead; they're for the living."

“There are three deaths in a person’s life: one is medical death, one is death at a funeral, and the last is death that is forgotten by everyone.”

"As long as there are people who remember her, her story will not disappear, and she will not experience her final death."

"Zhu Qing's words are somewhat similar to those in my hometown."

Walter said on the side.

“As long as the story is not forgotten, then a person is not truly dead.”

"Uncle Yang, I always feel that the words you said are really heavy."

March placed one hand on her chest, and her already bad mood became even heavier.

"But this is something that every one of us has to go through."

Zhuqing looked at Sanyue.

“As long as we live, we will continue to lose.”

“But at the same time, we’re also constantly gaining.”

“They are the ones that shape our past and our future.”

......

Chapter 92: Pinocchio

Return to Starport.

The four of them came to Yukong.

Hearing footsteps, Yukong turned around.

"You've arrived just in time, as the funeral ceremony is about to begin. Didn't Mr. Zhuqing say that he received many gifts for Tingyun? If you'd like, you can place those gifts on the Xingcha as a token of your remembrance."

"Ms. Yukong isn't going to come over?"

Yukong shook his head. "I had already put it there before you came."

In fact, the funeral gifts had been prepared long ago, and Yukong came here just to express his last wish.

However, she had known Tingyun for many years and had watched Tingyun grow up. Now, seeing her junior leave, she couldn't help but feel mixed emotions. She wanted to take advantage of the last chance to talk more.

Zhu Qing nodded in agreement and walked towards Xingcha.

Behind him, March and Xing followed, but Walter stayed where he was.

As I get older, I can’t stand seeing too many sad farewells.

"Alas... I never thought that such a good person like Miss Tingyun would go through all this..."

March placed a hand on her chest, her tone tinged with sadness.

"There are countless natural and man-made disasters in the universe. Many times, each side may be a farewell forever."

Zhu Qing had a few more boxes in his hands, which were return gifts to Tingyun.

After placing them one by one, a golden light flashed in Zhu Qing's hand, and another box appeared.

"what is this?"

"A piece of raw jade."

Zhu Qing put it up and said, "Miss Tingyun has always loved jade, and she and I talk about jade the most on a daily basis, so I asked a friend from my previous company to find a rare rough stone for me in Xianzhou."

“The most delightful moment in jade, besides the moment it’s finished and in your hands, is cutting the rough stone.”

"I'll leave this surprise for her to see for herself."

Of course, he also hoped that Tingyun could remain unknown like this rough stone until everything was settled.

No news is the best news for them.

"What should we do? It seems we haven't prepared any gifts..."

"It's just for psychological comfort."

Zhu Qing took two steps back and turned to look at Sanyue.

"It's good that the thought is there. Let's go, the funeral ceremony is about to begin."

"Ah."

The three of them walked towards Kunyu Terrace.

Along the way, everyone was silent. At times like this, few people could laugh.

When they arrived on the stage, Yukong was already standing there. She was looking at the sky in the distance, wondering what she was thinking.

Jing Yuan and others also came here. Even though they were very busy, they still took some time out to attend the funeral ceremony.

Those who sacrificed for Luofu deserve the respect of the living.

The star ships in the distance began to move, transforming into streams of light and flying towards the Jade Realm Gate.

At this moment, the flowing light in the sky carries not only the relics of the deceased, but also the expectations of the living.

Even though they know it is impossible, they still hope that their relatives, friends and loved ones can live happily in the other world.

The funeral ceremony ended quickly, and as all the star chariots disappeared, everyone gradually withdrew their gazes.

"My dear Zhuqing, are you feeling well?"

"I saw Bai Lu a few days ago and got some medicine. I'm fine after taking it."

Although Zhu Qing thought it was a minor injury, Bai Lu still checked him inside and out, and after making sure it was nothing serious, she prescribed some medicine for him.

Zhu Qing turned around and saw Jing Yuan and Yan Qing walking towards him together.

"teacher."

Yanqing bowed slightly and greeted him.

"Is General Jingyuan in good health?"

"I've been recuperating at Dandingsi for the past two days. Although I haven't fully recovered, I've gotten much better."

Jing Yuan stretched lazily. Whenever he had free time, he always wanted to find something to do.

"I was born to work hard and can't rest."

"No, no, I really want to retire early."

Jing Yuan waved his hands quickly. He didn't want to sit in the position of general until his death.

"Let's stop chatting here for now. I'm here to give you all a gift."

Jing Yuan had two more bags in his hands, and he handed them to Zhu Qing and Walter.

"This is?"

Zhu Qing curiously opened the bag, which looked a bit cheap, and inside it lay a jade omen quietly.

As someone who has lived in Luofu for some time, he knows what Yuzhao looks like. Although the shape is a bit strange, Zhuqing can be sure that this is Yuzhao.

"Thousands of years ago, when the alliance was founded, all the immortal ships swore an oath together and inscribed it on the Jade Omen Covenant as a witness. Even if heaven and earth were to be destroyed, this oath would remain unchanged."

"This jade omen is the same. It records Luofu Yunqi's gratitude to you all. It is also a beacon. Holding it tightly, it will send a message to the jade omen stored in Luofu."

"No matter how vast the Milky Way is, or how long the journey is, Luofu Cloud Riders will rush to fulfill your orders."

It can be said that this is the most precious gift that Luofu Yunqi can give.

"General Jing Yuan, the train crew only helped out a little here, and I'm unworthy of your help."

Walter subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"When the members of the Star Train risked their lives to accompany me on my quest to defeat Huanlong, you could have accepted it with peace of mind."

"What's more, if it weren't for Dan Heng, there's no telling when the Jianmu seal could be broken. Logically speaking, the help you all have provided is not insignificant."

Jingyuan explained with a smile.

"As for young friend Zhu Qing... I don't need to persuade him any further, right?"

This was the gift he had promised in advance.

"Although this item isn't as powerful as the Ranger's Token, as long as we receive the signal, the Luofu Cloud Cavalry will unite and clear the obstacles for you."

"You still have to be a little humble."

Zhu Qing put the bag and the jade statue away separately. He was not surprised that Jing Yuan used the bag to carry valuables.

This is an old tradition in Luofu. For example, in Yunqi, many precious gifts have extremely simple packaging.

It is so safe that no one will snatch it away when you carry it on the street.

“Excessive modesty is arrogance.”

Jing Yuan smiled.

"Then I wish you all a smooth journey ahead."

After saying that, Jing Yuan was pulled by Yan Qing to say goodbye to everyone.
