Chapter 6: The Legend of the Wordless Monument!
Chapter 6: The Legend of the Wordless Monument!
"Shuibo, I want to know. Li Yiqi smiled and nodded, and his heart was much more relaxed.
It is as if a person is walking on a dark road, and suddenly there is a little sporadic light, even if the light is weak, it can give people a kind of hope. Li Yiqi had this idea at this time, relying on the way of the Martial Emperor to practice martial arts, and if he could, he would join his grandfather's Annan Capital Protector Army.
In that big battle a year later, Great Xia could only win but not lose!
If you win, the Li family is still glorious, and several younger sisters can still spread the branches for the Li family, and they are willing to die a few years later.
defeated, the Li family will be wiped out from the ashes, and like many generals recorded in the history books, they will be drowned in the dust of history.
"Young Master......"
Shui Bo shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "The old slave just said, although there is a method, but how to do it, the old slave really doesn't know." ”
"That His Majesty the Martial Emperor was short-lived two hundred years ago, and he was already a mysterious figure, even in all the Li family files that the old slave saw, there was no record. In other words, how His Majesty the 'Martial Emperor' did it that year is unknown to future generations. ”
"What?"
Li Yiqi's heart was cold all of a sudden, he knew that Shui Bo would not lie to him.
"Young master, you have a good rest, the old slave has retired first. Seeing Li Yiqi's dejected appearance, Shui Bo smiled bitterly, bowed down and saluted with his fists, and withdrew.
......
Two days later, in the morning, in a study in the Lee Mansion.
A young man in a white robe had a tired look, his eyes were blank, and there was no focus in his eyes.
Although there was a bed in the room, the boy was so impolitely lying on the ground, showing a 'big' character. Around him, all kinds of books, files, and papers were piled up and scattered all over the place, in a mess.
"No, there really isn't ......"
Li Yiqi was already about to despair, and in the past two days, he locked himself in this study alone, and searched all the files left by the ancestors of the Li family. Especially the dossier of the generation of the ancestor of the Li family 'Li Yun' two hundred years ago, in which he did find a lot of records written by Li Yun himself about Emperor Wu himself.
Judging from the content in the dossier, Li Yun, the ancestor of the Li family, and His Majesty the Martial Emperor were indeed close friends. Between the lines, Li Yiqi could even feel that the ancestor Li Yun seemed to have a special admiration for this strange woman.
It's a pity that although the two are men and women, they are also monarchs and ministers, and Li Yiqi still read the feelings of the ancestor Li Yun in the taste of the words outlined by the ancestors' brushes, which seems to be only one-sided.....
However, to Li Yiqi's disappointment, although there are many records about the Martial Emperor in the dossier, as Shui Bo said, not a word is related to the cultivation method that is lacking in the life palace.
"No, if I create a method that can cultivate martial arts but have a broken life palace, I will definitely do everything possible to let it spread in the world, because maybe there will be people like us in the future generations. ”
"Even I think so, let alone the amazing and talented empress......"
"Maybe it's just that she didn't tell Ancestor Li Yun, or did she never think about spreading this method at all, for fear of attracting criticism?"
"No, judging from the records, Emperor Wu is a strange woman with a unique talent, who will not stick to the world's opinions, and her eyes are above the top, so how can she care about other people's opinions. ”
"She must have written this method somewhere else, somewhere...... In the palace?"
Li Yiqi is really about to despair, for more than a year, he only has more than a year to change the fate of the Li family.
Bang bang –
At this time, there was a gentle knock at the door, and then, a nice voice came with a hint of worry: "Young master, you, it's time for you to have breakfast." ”
There was silence in the room of the "......".
"Young Master, you, are you okay?"
"......" The house is still very quiet.
"Young Master, you...... Come on, come on, come on, come on, the young master has an accident!" Qi'er tapped the door with her little hand in panic, only to find that the inside was locked.
Crunch –
Suddenly, the door of the study opened, and a figure walked out, startling Qi'er outside the door.
"Young Master, you, didn't you sleep last night?"
Qi'er looked at Li Yiqi, who looked tired, with scattered hair and deep-set eyes, and asked timidly, her delicate little face full of worry.
"No, I didn't sleep for two nights. Li Yiqi shook his head indifferently, took Qi'er's plate, drank the bowl of rice porridge on it, and then returned to the house and closed the door with a "bang".
"Young master, don't be like this, Qi'er is very worried about you. ”
Crunch –
The door opened again, and Li Yiqi's handsome face showed a deep tiredness and said, "Qi'er, I'm also worried about myself, but there is one thing more important now than my eating and sleeping. ”
With that, he walked out of the house and sat silently on the white, smooth white jade steps, his head drooping, his face dazed and lost.
A look of distress appeared in Qi'er's beautiful eyes. stepped forward, squatted in front of Li Yiqi, blinked, and said softly: "Young master, what have you been busy with in the past two days, say it, everyone in the house can help you do it, and Qi'er...... Qi'er is stupid, but she will also help you. ”
"Huh. Li Yiqi waved his hand and laughed silently.
But after a while, his eyes moved slightly, his eyes looked at Qi'er, and he suddenly asked: "Qi'er, you are a girl, do you know that I am facing that 'Martial Emperor'......"
"Martial Emperor?....... Ah, Your Majesty the Martial Emperor!" Qi'er pouted as if she was thinking, but soon exclaimed in surprise and quickly covered her mouth.
"Yes, Your Majesty the Martial Emperor, you ...... What kind of person do you think she is?" asked Li Yiqi with a blank face.
Hearing this, Qi'er pursed her delicate little mouth, and a strange meaning appeared on her little face.
Talking about the first emperor is a great crime of disrespect.
But the young master has asked so, so ......
"Well, Qi'er thinks that 'Martial Emperor' is an infatuated woman. ”
"Oh?" Li Yiqi's eyes twitched slightly.
"When Qi'er was in her hometown when she was a child, before she was sold to the capital as a maid, she heard a lot of stories about His Majesty the 'Martial Emperor' from A-Niang and her sister. ”
Qi'er's bright eyes flashed with little stars, as if revealing a touch of longing: "It is said that His Majesty changed the name of the Xia Dynasty back then to commemorate her lover." ”
"Hehe, that's all folk anecdotes, and you should take it seriously. Li Yiqi waved his hand and smiled helplessly.
Qi'er's girlish nature will always be full of yearning for some beautiful objects, especially some singing and crying love, Li Yiqi naturally understands this, and immediately laughed dumbly.
"Really, young master, it is said that in that "wordless tablet", there is a story about Emperor Wu and her lover before entering the palace as a concubine. Qi'er nodded, and said with admiration.
"You, you, you will read more official history in the future. Li Yiqi shook his head with a wry smile, and reached out to pinch her tender little face in Qi'er's shy gaze.
But soon, a streamer flashed from Li Yiqi's eyes, his face changed suddenly, and he stood up like a rocket with a 'rub', and exclaimed: "What did you say?
"Yes, I said why I always feel that something is missing in the records of the ancestors!"
Li Yiqi's eyes flickered, and he flipped through the files in the room several times, but he always felt that there was something missing from the records of Emperor Wu's life.
No word monument!
It is said that the inscription on it was carved by Emperor Wu himself, but no matter how the descendants checked, the stele was smooth as a mirror, without a word.
Since ancient times, emperors and generals have all hoped that they can set up a monument after death, so that future generations can admire their great achievements, but only the inscription of the empress does not have a word.
Because of this, many wild histories have been passed down in later generations.
Some people say that the words on that stone tablet can only be seen by the reincarnated lover of the 'Martial Emperor'. Some people say that Emperor Wu left her life's world-conquering martial arts in it. Some people also say that the inscription was built by Emperor Wu to commemorate the first emperor 'Emperor Zong', but the inscription on it was erased by the royal family of the Xia Dynasty.
Some people also say that the stele is just a portrayal of Emperor Wu's own life, and his self-proclaimed merits are heavenly, how can words describe it......
"Young master?" Qi'er was really startled when she saw Li Yiqi's appearance.
"I'm fine. Li Yiqi shook his head decisively, with a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
He now has eight points of certainty in his heart that what he wants may be in that wordless tablet, because in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, only that wordless tablet was left by Emperor Wu himself.
If she has something important to pass on, it will definitely remain in the wordless monument!
"Wordless stele! Damn, the wordless stele is in Qianling Mountain in the eastern suburbs, in the ancestral tomb of the imperial dynasty - the tomb of the dragon bird!" Li Yiqi grinned, his face a little ugly.
There is a Qianling Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Shangjing City, where the ancestral tomb of the entire Xia Dynasty royal family is buried, and more than 30 emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty, including the Holy Emperor Qin, are buried. Except for the annual ancestor worship festival, no one is allowed to approach.
And the wordless monument was placed in front of the mausoleum of Emperor Wu.
But even if it is to worship ancestors, in addition to the members of the royal family, only the sacrificial wine of the Taimiao ancestral hall can enter the mausoleum when worshipping ancestors. Other ordinary families, even if they want to worship the ancestors of the Xia Dynasty, they can only go around outside, although the Li family is a prince, but still does not have the right to enter the mausoleum.
"The next ancestor worship in Qianling Mountain will be at the end of this year, and it is estimated that the time to tie my hair is not too much, but it will be two months later, what should I do?" Li Yiqi looked embarrassed.
At first, he hadn't figured out how to get into the tomb. Second, even if he enters the tomb and encounters the wordless tablet, it is unknown whether he can get what the 'Martial Emperor' left behind. Thirdly, even if he obtained the cultivation method of the 'Martial Emperor', it was uncertain whether he would be able to succeed in his cultivation. Fourth, he really didn't have much time left......
For a moment, Li Yiqi felt that his head was big, and he had a feeling of wanting to give up.
"Young Master?" Qi'er's big eyes blinked, looking at Li Yiqi.
"Qi'er......"
Li Yiqi took a deep breath, and his face once again showed a look of tenacity, and he regained his strength.
He can't give up, once he gives up, the Li family will be finished, not only himself, but also grandfather, aunt, aunt, and the children left by the two uncles, all of them will not be able to escape this catastrophe.
"Qi'er, I don't need to bring lunch, I'm going to sleep. ”
After saying this, Li Yiqi turned around and went directly into the study.
"Wordless Monument...... Eastern...... Qianling Mountain ...... Ancestor worship...... Royal house...... Sacrificial ...... Sacrificial ..... Sacrificial wine ......"
Behind her, Qi'er heard Li Yiqi's muttering, her eyebrows frowned slightly, she shook her head inexplicably, and left with the dishes and chopsticks.
......
On the third day, Li Yiqi sat in the stone pavilion of Zizhu Garden refreshed, and had some plans in his heart, although these plans were a bit risky, but in order to avoid the fate of death and annihilation, Li Yiqi thought it was worth trying.
"Young Master, don't you rest for a while, tomorrow you will go to the Academy Palace. ”
On the side, Qi'er sat obediently on the side of the stone table, peeling an orange, and the little white hand boy carefully removed the white oranges on the skin, and then gently tore the thin skin on both sides, revealing the tender flesh in it.
"It's almost time to rest, oh, thank you. Li Yiqi took the peeled orange slices handed by Qi'er, threw them into his mouth, and smiled.
"Young Master, you are so polite. Qi'er lowered her head shyly, smiled coquettishly, and raised her eyes to look at Li Yiqi, with a faint hint of strange affection.
"Young Master!"
At this time, in the distance, a voice came, and immediately after, a subordinate of the Li family ran over.
"Young master, Tang Gongzi is here and is waiting for you in the front hall. The subordinate bowed respectfully.
Hearing this, Li Yiqi smiled: "Tang Qi, this guy, comes to see me once a day, he didn't see me two days ago, and he didn't give up, he was really patient......
"Young Master, are you going to see Tang Gongzi?" Qi'er lowered her head and asked timidly.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Qi'er's strange appearance, Li Yiqi couldn't help asking.
"Hmm...... Tang Gongzi every time he comes...... Look at me with ...... eyes Weird. Qi'er lowered her head, as if she was looking for some words to describe Tang Qi's thief's eyes more gently.
"Oh. Hearing this, Li Yiqi touched the tip of his nose, smiled inexplicably, sighed for a long time, and said: "He also has suffering, you don't understand ......"
Li Yiqi shook his head silently, and a hint of playfulness couldn't help but appear on his handsome cheeks, as well as a hint of schadenfreude, as if he had thought of something he couldn't help laughing.
"If you don't want to see him, don't come with him. ”
Li Yiqi turned around, put his hands behind his back, and walked in the direction of the front hall.
Behind her back, Qi'er pouted, but still jumped up and down behind her young master.
