Chapter 325: The Great Project
"Is there such a thing?" Wuji was surprised and delighted.
"Yes. Seeing Wuji's happiness, Wu Datong's mood relaxed a lot, and a smile appeared on his face. "I heard that there used to be. β
When Mowgli heard it, he felt that something was wrong. "Before?"
Wu Datong smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly took out a yellowed book from his arms, and presented it to Wuji with both hands. Seeing that there were a few small seals written on the cover, Wuji immediately knew that this book had a bit of a background. The Great Qin Dynasty was founded for thousands of years, and the small seal has also become an ancient script, which is only used on particularly formal occasions.
Mowgli flipped through it carefully. This is a book about the duties of the priests of the temple, and one of them is the oracle of the gods: the priests of the temple are required to meditate in the tower every day and receive an edict from the Xianyang Heavenly Academy.
Wuji thought about it carefully and asked suspiciously, "Is there a tower in the Crouching Tiger Town Temple?"
"There are towers, in the backyard, and only the high priest can enter. β
"Backyard. Mowgli nodded. He hadn't entered the backyard of the Temple of Crouching Tiger Town, but he had entered the backyard of the palace, and behind the queen's Jiaofang Palace, there was a lonely tower. If what Wu Datong said is true, maybe the lonely towers of the temples everywhere are in the backyard.
Mowgli looked at the book in his hand again. "And now?"
Wu Datong showed a little embarrassment. "For example, today's news of the academy is sent by fast horses, and it is rare to pass through the Heavenly Oracle Tower. In addition to being repaired by the high priest, the Heavenly Oracle Tower is no longer used to transmit messages. β
"When did you use the Heavenly Oracle Tower to send messages?"
"At least 100 years ago. β
Seeing that Wu Datong looked embarrassed, Wuji didn't ask again. Wu Datong has obviously only heard about some things, but has not experienced them firsthand. However, since this book is written in a conclusive manner, it is very likely that this is true.
He became more and more suspicious of the renovation three hundred years ago. Because a lot of weird things started at that time. Wu Datong said that it was a hundred years, which is likely to be a cover-up, and the failure of the Heavenly Oracle Tower. It's probably from 300 years ago, but he doesn't know.
Wuji rewarded Wu Datong with ten Guiyuan Pills, and asked him to rush back to Crouching Tiger Town immediately and bring a letter to Ying Yiran. Wu Datong was overjoyed and went overjoyed. Gui Yuan Dan's name, he has heard of it for a long time, but he has not seen it. Wuji rewarded him with ten pieces at once, which is a great gift.
After Wu Datong left, Wuji thought about it for a long time. He had spent a few months in the Heavenly Book Tower, but his knowledge of the Heavenly Book Tower was limited. There are even many doubts. He always felt that the Tianshu Pagoda was an imitation of the spiritual platform on Wangfu Mountain, but the Tianshu Pagoda only had twenty-three floors, which was different from the twenty-four-story spiritual platform.
After repeated considerations, Wuji called Lin Fei and asked him to go to the country of Fengfeng.
......
Wu Datong traveled day and night and rushed back to Crouching Tiger Town. Ying Yiran has already led a large army stationed in Crouching Tiger Town. The task of the mid-lane army is to put pressure on the Long Xiang and Fengwu legions, and to dispatch in the center, rather than fighting. Most of the people of the Jiuyi tribe are fierce-looking, once they go deep into the interior. It can also cause fear, so Ying Yiran didn't move on.
After receiving Wuji's letter, Ying Yiran was also surprised. She didn't know there was such a thing. However, she trusts Mowgli's judgment. Immediately followed Wu Datong to the temple. Until then, she had been placing that palace-like chariot under a large tree.
In the backyard of the temple, she saw the familiar Tower of Loneliness.
Although it was the first time she had seen this tower, it was also a lonely tower in the same shape. She had seen several of them, but the most familiar one was, of course, the tower in the backyard of the Jiaofang Palace. As soon as she saw this lonely tower, she felt that she was reunited.
That same evening. She moved to the temple, burned incense and bathed, and then sat in the lonely tower and meditated.
As soon as she sat in the Lonely Tower, she felt the magical power of the Lonely Tower, and the slightest trace of vitality poured into her Heavenly Gate and poured into her meridians.
Ying Yiran went through Wuji to dredge the meridians, practiced smoothly, and not long ago had risen to the seventh order of the Xuan Realm. However, compared with Lin Ziyi and others, her realm improvement is not fast. The reason is simple, she has so many things to deal with that she doesn't have much time to meditate. If it weren't for the Purple Moon Forest's strong vitality, she would most likely have stagnated.
However, although her time for cultivation is limited, her understanding is beyond the reach of ordinary people. As soon as she sat in the lonely tower, she threw away her distracting thoughts, adjusted her breathing, and entered the mysterious and incomprehensible realm, and in a trance, she seemed to sense something, although it was not very real, but it was real.
Ying was also pleasantly surprised, she tried her best to suppress her mood and fell into silence again.
In the infinite darkness, she saw a faint star.
......
In the Jiaofang Palace, several palace maids were scattered around lazily, listless.
Today's palace is no longer the palace of the past, and it is full of decay. The Son of Heaven was captured, and his life and death were unknown; the power was lost, and the courtiers ran between the Meng family and the Yin family, but few people could afford the imperial court; the queen sat in the lonely tower every day and practiced, and they did not stop until they passed out, and they sat here, just waiting to drag the unconscious queen out of the lonely tower.
No one knows when this kind of day will end, they just wait numbly.
In the lonely tower, the queen sat cross-legged, her face pale, and pearl-like beads of sweat poured out of her forehead, and then gathered into streams, sliding down her twitching cheeks and soaking her clothes. She pinched her handprints and her hands trembled, as if an invisible force was expanding and making it impossible for her to remain indifferent.
Bursts of pain hit her like a tidal wave, making her unable to keep her composure, and her mind was dark, so dark that it was desperate.
At the moment when the queen was about to be overwhelmed by despair, she suddenly saw a little starlight.
It's like a star suddenly appearing in the dark night sky, although the starlight is dim and can't illuminate much space, it gives the queen an inexplicable encouragement. Suddenly, even the unbearable pain became lighter.
She looked at the starlight as if she were facing a loved one, and her face, distorted by pain, gradually quieted down and looked peaceful.
She didn't know what that starlight meant, but it broke through the darkness and brought a glimmer of hope to her in her long-time despair.
With hope, no matter how much pain it may have, it becomes bearable.
The queen sat in the tower of loneliness all night until the starlight disappeared. She walked out of the lonely tower, bathed in the morning sun, the jade body stood long, and her face radiated a holy light.
The dozing palace maids and attendants rubbed their worried eyes and stood up, looking at the calm and peaceful queen. Pleasantly surprised.
......
Almost at the same time, Ying Yiran walked out of the Lonely Tower.
After a sleepless night, her spirit was not bad at all, but a little more peaceful, and she was no longer as nervous as before. She looked at Wu Datong with a flattering face, and smiled slightly: "You are a meritorious man." β
Wu Datong is like hearing the sound of Lun, and the tired guard who guarded all night is gone. He knew all too well the weight of the sentence. The King of Xiaoyang and the Seventh Princess, no matter which title they are, are enough to make him, the high priest of the Crouching Tiger Town Temple, throw himself to the ground. He hurriedly presented the Guiyuan Dan: "These Guiyuan Dan are given by the national teacher, and the ministers are willing to sacrifice them to the king." Replenish vitality. β
Ying Yiran smiled: "I received your heart, but Guiyuan Dan didn't use it." Being able to sit in the lonely tower for a night, how can the effect be comparable to a few Guiyuan pills. This lonely tower has been lonely for too long. β
Wu Datong was embarrassed. "The Lonely Tower has been lonely for decades, and when the king comes, it is worth it. β
Ying Yiran didn't say anything more. She returned to the chariot, wrote a letter, and sent someone to send it to Xiaoyang Mountain.
......
When Wuji received Ying Yiran's reply, Wang Xicheng, the national teacher of Fengfeng, also rushed to Xiaoyang Mountain.
To build the Tower of Loneliness. The biggest difficulty is the material. The materials of the Lonely Tower are similar to ashes and bones, and they are treasures that are hard to find. With the strength of the Heavenly Academy, it can only tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and although the Fengfeng Country claims to have the most divine bones and ashes, it is also quite far from building a tower.
Wuji told Wang Xicheng a secret. He knew where there were a lot of bones and ashes.
As soon as he heard the news, Wang Xicheng couldn't hold back, broke the habit of not leaving the Giant Palace for many years, and rushed to Xiaoyang Mountain in person.
Thanks to the National Teacher's Hall in Xiaoyang Mountain, it turned out to be a giant who lived. Otherwise, Wuji really doesn't know how to receive this Fengfeng National Teacher. Wang Xicheng is more than three zhang tall and is a master of the windproof country.
"Is there really countless divine bones and ashes in Wangfu Mountain?" Wang Xicheng asked impatiently.
Wuji nodded, and told the story of how the divine bones were found by the Tianchi in the first place. Wang Xicheng was surprised and delighted, and he couldn't wait to leave immediately and rush to Zifu Mountain. Mowgli stopped him.
"National teacher, this is a secret, and it must not be leaked. β
"Don't worry, I know it's amazing. Wang Xicheng is very grateful, Wuji told him such a big secret, which shows his trust in him. This is also in exchange for trusting and supporting Mowgli from the beginning to the end. "I personally led the team and selected the most reliable craftsmen. β
Wuji nodded with satisfaction, dipped his fingers in some water, drew a few times on the stone table, and a figure appeared in front of Wang Xicheng. Mowgli clicked on the human form a few more times. "National Teacher, according to some of the classics I saw in the Heavenly Academy, it is very likely that the entire continent is like this. β
Wang Xicheng glanced at it, and immediately shouted, "Could it be the Pangu God?"
"I don't know if it's the Pangu God, but there is no doubt that this continent resembles a human body. Wangfu Mountain is like a human brain, and Xianyang is at the heart of the heart. According to my guess, these lonely towers probably correspond to acupuncture points. β
Wang Xicheng held his breath. Although he has studied protective techniques intensively, and his medical skills are not as exquisite as Wuji's, he also understands these truths. If this is the case, it makes sense that the Heavenly Book Tower can be connected with the Lonely Tower in the entire territory of Great Qin.
However, compared to the heart position, the brain location where Zifu Mountain is located is obviously more suitable for building the Tianshu Tower.
"The meaning of the national teacher is to rebuild the Tianshu Tower in Zifu Mountain?"
"Yes. But it's a big project, and it may not take one or two generations to complete. For now, I still hope to build some small lonely towers in the Purple Moon Forest first, and connect the Jiuyi tribe first. β
Wang Xicheng disagreed. "National teacher, rest assured, the giant craftsmen of my Fengfeng Country are the best craftsmen in the world, and the projects that the Qin people find difficult are not difficult for us. If one qiΔ shun lΓ¬, I can finish it in a month or two. β
Wuji was stunned and couldn't help laughing. That's right, for the Qin people, the Tianshu Pagoda is an unimaginable huge project, but for the windproof giant craftsmen with an ordinary height of more than two zhang, even the Tianshu Pagoda is not a big deal, and their Giant Palace is much grander than the Tianshu Pagoda.
It can also be seen from the progress of the secret passage project under the National Teacher's Hall that a giant craftsman can withstand dozens of ordinary people, especially those daunting boulders, ordinary people must borrow large machinery and cooperate with many people, but the giant can be carried away by one person, at most two or three people cooperate, and there are almost no stones that they can't move.
Wuji drew a map for Wang Xicheng and prepared to give him a detailed description of the markers along the way. Wang Xicheng waved his hand and interrupted Wuji.
"National teacher, there is no need to work so hard, I will go to the Fenglong Kingdom for help, and let them send me to Wangfu Mountain, which is fast and labor-saving, and I can also get food supplies from the sea. β
Wuji laughed, patted his forehead and said, "Thanks to the reminder of the national teacher, although I am a national teacher of Xiaoyang, I still don't know much about the Jiuyi tribe, and I forgot that you are the master here." Since this is the case, then I wish the national teacher a smooth journey. β
Wang Xicheng also laughed.
The secret passage project was nearing completion, and Wuji handed over all the windproof giant craftsmen sent before to Wang Xicheng, and asked Shi Yuling to allocate a batch of Guiyuan Dan to Wang Xicheng. Wang Xicheng was very satisfied, and promised to build an ice and snow palace for Shi Yuling in the snowy mountains when he came to Kuafu to build a lonely tower in the country.
Shi Yuling listened, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Wuji, shy. This is a private conversation between her and Wuji, but I didn't expect Wuji to keep it in mind all the time, and I also told Wang Xicheng.
Sending Wang Xicheng away, Shi Yuling sat beside Wuji, blushing, and arched Wuji.
"Thank you. β
"I should thank you. Wuji put his arm around Shi Yuling's shoulders and shook it gently.
"Thank me for what?
"It's not just Guiyuan Dan, but also Yangyang's mother and son. Mowgli sighed. "If it weren't for your enlightenment, I wouldn't know how to deal with them. β
"So you've figured it out now?"
"I don't dare to say that I have figured it out, I can only say that I am not so entangled. Mowgli looked up. "I believe that since the Book of Heaven has given human beings feelings, it always has his intentions. If I have to be ruthless to enter the Tao, then I would rather choose not to enter the Tao. β
"If you don't enter the Dao, how do you deal with Bai Fengbing and Yin Jiao?"
"If I don't enter the Tao, I still have wisdom. Mowgli pointed to his head and laughed. "Although my realm is not the highest, my wisdom is the most powerful. Not only that, but I can also gather the wisdom of many people, if I can't win against Bai Fengbing and Yin Jiao in this way, then I have to think that God is blind and there is no reason to speak of. β
"You, you have become a national teacher, and you are still so unscrupulous. Shi Yuling glanced at him. "I'm going to tell SΓΉ Yangyang and ask her to bring the child, and your father and son will be close and close. βββ
