Chapter 9: The Landscape of Los Angeles
Yu Yu and the three of them came to Puze Pond.
"My lord, I just saw an auspicious cloud vision here in the Spirit Palace, I don't know-" Yu Yuan saw the white-haired old man beside Ji Le, her expression was terrified, she didn't care about greeting Ji Le, she immediately closed her eyes, and explored Cangjie's identity with the inspiration of the witch.
Shi Huang smiled slightly, and took the initiative to remove the divine light barrier, allowing Yu Yuan to perceive his divinity.
And the two old men beside her saw Ji Le, and stepped forward to salute: "I've seen Lord Guoling." β
"Hurry up, two. Ji Le took out an innocent expression, stared at the two of them with curious eyes, and said, "I'm very interested in the Taiping Sect, and when you have time, you can come to Taizhen Building to talk to me." β
But as soon as these words came out, the faces of the two old men changed drastically, and even Yu Yu on the side was frightened: "My lord, this must not be mentioned!"
The Taiping Sect is a taboo in the Xia Kingdom, and it hides many insiders. Guoling wants to ask about the Taiping Sect?
Yu Yu and the two Taiping relics were terrified, for fear that a thought from the national spirit would provoke God's wrath again.
"Guo Ling is just interested in the medical skills in the Taiping Qing Lingshu. Seeing this, Cangjie explained on the side.
"It's just medical skills?" Qian Zhenghe was a little relieved: "The Taiping medical skills that I am waiting for have already been taught to the doctors of the Ming Palace. If you are interested, you may wish to summon the Ming Palace physician to answer questions. β
"I'm definitely going to the Ming Palace, and I'm going to take the old man to visit other places today." Ji Le invited Shi Huang to the front of the people, and introduced with a smile: "This is our Chinese gods, and it is Shi Huang who came from his homeland." Well, his name, you should all know. β
Shi Huang's?
Yu Yu was surprised and delighted: Sure enough, it was him! The divinity I perceived was right!
Qian Zhenghe and the others were stunned: "Shi Huang's family?"
Isn't this the ancestral god that existed in the homeland as rumored? The historian of the Yellow Emperor period was also the origin of Chinese writing.
"Wait......" Qian Zhenghe reacted: "You say, people from your homeland?"
"That's right. When I was incarnated, I automatically connected to my homeland, attracting the attention of the ancestral gods of my homeland, who came to protect us and other Han people. β
This is the excuse that Ji Le came up with to portray Cangjie as a god who has descended from his homeland. As a result, the people feel homesick and further strengthen their position.
Even if the gods of this world are resistant, they will have reservations because they cannot explore the depth of the Chinese gods.
"Since he is the god of his homeland, he deserves to be treated as a god of the Spirit Palace. My lord wants to take Emperor Shi to visit the Nine Palace City? I'll lead the way! Uncle Zhao, Uncle Qian, as for the identity of Emperor Shi, please keep it secret for the time being, and don't reveal it to other people in the Spirit Palace. β
After a few words, Ji Le and the young man heard Yu Yuan's hint. The two looked at each other: The contradictions within Xia Guo also looked quite intense.
Come to think of it, only the shrine maidens came forward during the battle yesterday, and these warlocks and other witches didn't show up, so it's obvious that the water behind them is very deep.
Yu Yu acted neatly, and soon took out the charter and asked Zhang Le to send someone to follow and escort the group to the Ming Palace.
"What's going on?" Ji Le, the young man, and Emperor Shi sat on the chariot, and there were two strange beasts similar to buffaloes pulling the cart in front of them.
The old man asked in a low voice, "You deliberately said that, is there anything wrong with the Xia Kingdom?"
Although Shi Huang's family relied on faith and watched over the clay sculptures of the Xue Palace for a hundred years, the Xue Gong was only one of the nine palaces, so where could he know all the things of the whole country? The Taiping Sect and other things that he came into contact with were all materials that existed in the historical records of the Ming Palace. But about the infighting in the Spirit Palace, I have heard of it, but I don't know much.
"There are more places where things are wrong. Old man, you can see this otherworldly country with your own eyes. β
The three of them, led by Yu Yuan, began to tour Jiugong City. Although Ji Le had inquired by himself some time ago, he couldn't get close to some places due to the inconvenience of the spirit body during that time. Now that he has truly become a national spirit, and there is Yu Yu to lead the way, all the important places in Los Angeles are unimpeded.
Ji Le's heart moved, and asked Yu Yuan: "Speaking of which, there is a small white tower to the north of Puze Pond, what is that place?"
Qian Zhenghe interjected and said, "The small white pagoda, that's where Brother Zhiwen and I practice, what's the matter, Lord Guoling is interested in going and seeing?"
After hearing this, Zhao Zhiwen also said: "There are many secret spells hidden around the tower, and ordinary people are not allowed to trespass. If the adults are interested, we can lead the way. β
"No need. Ji Le barely showed a smile, the spell is forbidden?Well, of course I know that when I first came over some time ago, I suffered a lot of losses there.
Ji Le woke up as a national spirit at the beginning, because of his intermittent contact with Xia Guo, he didn't have the power to act at will now. In the realm of Zhao Zhiwen and the others, they suffered some dark losses.
"Let's go to the Ming Palace first, I care about those people yesterday. β
The predecessor of Jiugong City was the site of the original Eastern Han Dynasty ancestors. Here, there are squares, medical clinics, military grounds, smelting platforms and other venues. The most famous center of the Nine Palaces in Nine Palace City relied on these ruins.
The very center of the Nine Palaces City is the royal court, which is the place where the doctors deliberate. It is also the place where Yang Ke and his four wives live.
And the north of the royal court, directly north of the Nine Palace City, is the place where the gods are worshipped. This palace is called the Spirit Palace, and it is also where the Jongmyo is located. Of course, it is said that it is a temple, but in essence, the Yang family has not been for several generations. It's just that the mantle of the Eastern Han Dynasty is sacrificed here, symbolizing the inheritance of Chinese incense, and also symbolizing that the Xia Kingdom is a separate lineage of Yan Liu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In addition, there is also a school palace for education and enlightenment, a palace for raising slaves, and a secluded palace where the female lu is located, and so on. These sprawling complexes were expanded from the site of the original ancestors.
On the way, Yu Yuan explained the style of Jiugong City to Cangjie, showing a smug look: "Don't look at the fact that there is only one Jiugong City in our Xia Kingdom, but the scale of Los Angeles is so large that it can accommodate a million people. Even powerful forces such as the Tumu dynasty are inferior. β
"Not bad, indeed. Cangjie could see that the construction of this nine-palace city had referred to several large cities in his homeland. Especially this name, Jiugong is Luoshu, which obviously alludes to Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The architectural style of the school palace is more similar to that of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Millions of people?
There was a bit of sarcasm between Ji Le's eyebrows, but he thought about it, and finally didn't say anything.
It is true that there are millions of people, but there are not many Han people who have a proper place to live. It's more about the captive slaves in the palace, how many of them are crammed into one room, and they don't occupy any land at all.
"But what can I say? In this era, the self-protection of the ancestors is a problem, and they still have the heart to treat these barbarians kindly?" Ji Le shook his head secretly, and could only look forward to his future efforts.
At least in his plan, slavery was definitely going forward.
......
Because the Ming Palace is in the southeast corner of Jiugong City, everyone traveled by car, and the first to come was the Xue Palace. After the Yang family boasted of Yang Zhen, he was born in a family. After taking the ancestors to cross, he specially built a school palace to inherit the Eastern Han Dynasty to maintain the rule of the surrounding civilization in Great Xia. Of course, because of the great difference in civilizations, the so-called rule relies more on force.
Looking at the plaque at the entrance of the school palace, Ji Le said to Cangjie: "There are not many scriptures left in the school palace now. In the future, you will need to come forward to repair it. β
"As it should be. β
Listening to the sound of reading aloud inside, Cangjie's expression moved: "Since you have arrived, you might as well go inside and take a look." β
He received a hundred years of sacrifice here, but this is the first time he has wandered inside the palace.
"I won't go, Yu Yuan, you take the old man for a walk. β
Ji Le sat in the car, leaned on the soft behind him, and said lazily: "Uncle Zhao and Uncle Qian should also go." β
A god from his homeland, Zhao Qian and the others are indeed very curious. In addition, after Yu Yuan left, it was inconvenient for the two to be alone with Ji Le, so they followed Yu Yuan to act together.
"Obey your lordship's orders. The two got out of the car quickly and followed Yu Yu to the entrance palace to accompany Cangjie to watch.
"These two are too timid, too. Even if it is a Taiping remnant, in the final analysis, it is also a Chinese lineage, so why bother?"
Ji Le shook his head frequently, feeling nostalgic for the situation of the two.
The destruction of Tianjiao City, founded by the Taiping Sect, brought with it the achievements of the ancestors of the Eastern Han Dynasty for decades. If it weren't for Yang Ke's ancestors who stayed in Jiugong City and retained a piece of vitality, I am afraid that the ancestors would have already disappeared in this barbaric era.
"Hmph! This is retribution!" the young man heard about the Taiping Sect, although he was not from the Eastern Han Dynasty, but in the end he was also a Han people, a descendant of the empire in which he belonged. Seeing them being bullied by the gods of this world, the young man's heart burned with rage. I can't wait to directly raise a gun to cut down the sky and kill the gods of this world.
And for the Taiping Sect, these people who tamper with the belief of the Lord of Tai, there is no good face.
"Alright, take your time. En remembers, hatred remembers, there will always be a day of reckoning in the future. Ji Le looked at the gate of the school palace through the bamboo curtain: "Anyway, aren't you going?"
"It's not interesting to go, it's just a place for education and learning. β
The status of the Han people in the Xia Kingdom was very high, and when children were enlightened, they could be sent to the school palace to study for free. After the age of twelve, select those with outstanding roots and bones to study the arts. The rest of them continued their studies in the palace until they were 15 years old, and they could choose to enlist in the army or transfer to other professions. Of course, if you have excellent grades, you can also choose to continue your studies and study Chinese classics.
The young man's voice was low: "In this barbaric era, no matter how many books you read, you can't compare to the three-foot sword in your hand. β
Ji Le smiled, holding his hand on his cheek and looking at the young man.
"What, am I not right?"
In this day and age, survival is the key. If you read "Zhihu Ye", can you plow the land and cultivate the land?
"I remember that the Confucian scholars of your time could not all ride horses and shoot arrows? Why do you look down on Confucian scholars so much?"
"I didn't look down on them, it's just that I started with military exploits in my time. I have more respect for meritorious people, rather than stinky book bags that talk about military affairs and state affairs. β
But after pondering it carefully, the young man raised his eyebrows, and muttered in his heart: It seems that this guy has indeed guessed my identity? Well, don't admit it! No matter what he hints at, I won't tell him!
With the original status of the young man, even the emperor was not very afraid, how could he really be afraid of Ji Le's identity as a national spirit?
"By the way, you really plan to shape the Shi Huang clan into a native god?"
Ji Le's face changed, his fingers hooked slightly, and a layer of blue light shrouded the frame, isolating outsiders from listening.
"As for it? There's no one around here. β
"This is the age of mythology, and caution is the best. Ji Le Zhengse said: "Don't you see? Now that Hermes-Epitek has taken root here for a hundred years, it is different from the situation back then. At the end of the day, we're too late. β
After a hundred years, how many people can survive the original group of Hermes-Epitek?
Yang Ke's generation is all descendants of the ancestors, and he grew up in this world since he was a child. They may miss their homeland, or they may pin their hopes on their homeland, but it is only a sustenance in their hearts. The homeland civilization really doesn't have much of a sales market in Yang Ke's eyes.
In this regard, Yang Ke is similar to the temper of young people: no matter how good the classics of the homeland are, no matter how advanced the four books and five classics are, can the people be fed?
After the family came over, they were immediately taught a lesson by reality. It is true that Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics were left in the Xue Palace, but there are also records of agricultural and mulberry medicine and divination techniques in the Xue Palace. In this era, agriculture and mulberry medicine are more important than Confucianism and are closely related to national life.
"I can feel that there is an undercurrent surging within the Xia Kingdom. There are reformers like Yang Ke and conservative homeland factions. Even within the Spirit Palace, there were various factional battles. Otherwise, the person we come into contact with will not be just Yu Yuan. β
"Shaping the old man Cangjie as the god of his homeland is just a symbol. On behalf of the hometown, they have not been forgotten, and my Chinese inheritance will not be broken in another world. β
"So, what about the slogan that takes them home? Claiming that Cangjie is the god of the homeland, it is natural that some people will ask if they can go home and return to the hometown of their ancestors. What are you going to do then?"
"......" Ji Le frowned slightly, and his expression was a little more impatient.
Seeing that Ji Le was silent, the young man sneered: "Do you know what the most tragic thing in this world is?"
"Alright, I know what you're talking about. Isn't it just to give people hope, and then crush it with your own hands?"
Ji Le changed his posture, and the sudden tingling sensation just now subsided slightly, he laughed, and pretended to be relaxed: "Can't I just take them back?"
"Go back, where to go back? You also heard Shi Huang's words just now, there is a problem with the crossing itself, how can you go back easily!"
"Cutβit's nothing more than the intrigue of the creator god. Ji Le pouted: "Don't worry, I'm measured!"
"What do you mean?"
"It's simple. This world is the dualistic creation system of heaven and earth, and the two creator gods of heaven and earth created the world. And the Taiping Sect sacrificed to the Yellow Heaven, angered the gods of this world, and let God personally punish him. Naturally, it could not have been God who sent them through. It could only be another Earth Mother Goddess. β
"Lenovo Mother Earth fell a thousand years ago, and it is obviously the layout of people. I plan to make some articles with the ancestors. In the end, it's nothing more than revenge or resurrection. β
It's like those games and novels that call for the brave from another world. As long as you complete the tasks assigned by the gods, you can naturally go home.
