Chapter 52 It's a maintenance job
In the early morning, the sailboat arrived in the waters of Panyang Lake as scheduled.
"That's Kanglang Mountain!"
Li Yan pointed ahead at the bow of the ship: "It is also the place where Taizu and Han King Chen Liang fought a big battle. Three years later, Chen Liang sent hundreds of thousands of sailors to fight with Taizu on Panyang Lake. The water surface near Kanglang Mountain is the place where the two sailors fought a decisive battle. ā
Li Xuan glanced around, and then asked, "What we have to do is related to this big war?"
He was secretly speculating, I don't know if this was related to the first generation of sincerity? The reason why Taizu was able to defeat Chen Liang, the king of Han, with a weak army, was because of the strange trick of his ancestor Li Lexing.
"Hundreds of thousands of people were killed and wounded on both sides in this battle, and countless heroes are buried here. ā
Li Yan stepped out of the bow of the boat directly, and then fell straight into the water: "Come down, let's go to the bottom of the lake." ā
Li Xuan did not hesitate, and also jumped into the lake.
In the past few days, he has practiced the water avoidance technique, and the moment he entered the lake, the true yuan in his body came out of his body, forming a thin film on the outside, expelling those water liquids.
The three of them sank until they reached the bottom of the lake at a distance of two hundred feet. Li Xuan looked around and found that the bottom of the lake was full of shipwrecks, as well as all kinds of decayed weapons.
At this time, Li Xuan didn't even feel the pressure that the human body needed to dive deeply. 200 zhang is changed to modern times, but it is 600 meters, and the limit of diving for ordinary people who have not been trained is 100 meters.
It can be seen that the Li family's water avoidance technique is indeed unique in the world, even if it is performed with the true yuan of martial cultivation, it will not be weaker than the magic cultivation.
Of course, this also has a relationship with their family and all the dragon kings of the Yangtze River water system, and all the direct clansmen of the sincere Li clan can freely use the power of the water spirit under the river.
At this time, Li Chengji suddenly swept in a mana, and took Li Xuan forward quickly, and soon they came to a huge stone altar located at the bottom of the water.
"It'sā"
Li Xuan looked at this scene with a shocked expression, the scale of this stone altar is very magnificent, covering an area of 3,000 acres, and the whole is in the shape of an inverted pyramid, which is made of strip-shaped granite piles. In all directions of the inverted pyramid, there are layers of gold and iron embedded in the stone, forming huge runes.
There is also a huge stone tablet in the south of it, with two lines of seal characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on it - 'In the third year of Hongwu, Li Lexing was ordered to supervise the construction of this altar and bury 330,000 soldiers of Chen Han here. ā
"It's a seal, it's a grave. ā
As Li Chengji spoke, he handed over two small bags: "You go in later, replace all the damaged talisman bricks on the altar, and then start the sacrifice at four o'clock in the afternoon." Remember, all the bricks must be replaced according to their type and shape, and they must be fitted perfectly, and if the damage is too bad for you to tell, then you would rather leave it alone than mess around. ā
After Li Xuan received it, he realized that these were two small Qiankun bags. The first bag was a little smaller, only two zhang square, and it was filled with all kinds of square bricks with runes drawn, and the material was non-gold and non-jade, which should be made by fusing and smelting various spiritual materials.
The second bag was a little larger, with a space of nearly five zhang or so, and the contents were simple, full of wine and three animal sacrifices, a lot of them, and there were as many as twenty cows alone.
What is surprising is that although there are many things piled up in these two small bags, they are as light as a feather in his hands.
Li Chengji then handed over a pot of elixir: "Those talisman bricks that have been replaced must be activated after you have poured the true yuan, and you may have a very hard time later." If the true yuan is exhausted, you can use this small Guiyuan Dan to hold it. ā
Li Yan said with a smile: "After you go in, use it leisurely, this work is very tiring." ā
Li Xuan asked puzzledly: "Am I alone, don't you go in?"
"We want to, too, but we can't get in. Li Yan obviously gloated and squinted at him: "You must have an official body of more than seven grades, as well as royal blood or an edict." Our Li family once won the seal of the Taizu Shizhen River, but my father and I are now both guilty of sin, and we can't get close. ā
"So God bless, Xuan'er, you can actually be promoted to Demon Wanderer before the arrival of the Midyear Festival. ā
Li Chengji patted Li Xuan on the shoulder: "Go ahead, this is a matter of immeasurable merit." ā
Li Xuan already understood most of the situation, he no longer hesitated, and immediately swam in the direction of the stone altar.
Just as he entered the 100-zhang range of this inverted pyramid, Li Xuan felt an invisible and powerful force enveloping him. However, Li Xuan was not hindered by it, and when he walked in, he naturally blended in.
But at the same time, Li Xuan also found himself isolated from the outside world, and the inside and outside of this stone altar were like two worlds.
And just after Li Xuan entered the stone altar, Li Yan outside sneered, and looked at Li Chengji with a little sarcasm: "You are just meddling, since you are dismissed from your post at home, why do you care so much? ā
Li Chengji smiled bitterly when he heard this: "If it were changed to previous years, I would really sit idly by." But this year is different, seventeen days later, it is Wujiazi Sunday after the Panyang Lake War, and this year's Zhongyuan Festival is on a cloudy day in a lunar year, I really can't rest assured. However, the struggle between Beijing and the DPRK continued, and I am afraid that the candidate for the new commander of the Jiangjiang Naval Division will not be decided for a while. And now there is chaos in the area of Nanzhili, and all kinds of devils are lurking in Nanzhili, with unpredictable intentions. There are still people who are so bold as to dare to attack the prince! It can be seen how turbulent the undercurrent has been under the water surface of Nanzhili. The so-called prevention is better than prevention, and if the seal here is not reinforced, I can't sleep at night. ā
The mid-year festival is also known as the ghost festival, which is called the Bon festival in Buddhism, and the power of the ghosts will increase greatly until the mid-year festival grows to the extreme.
"There are capable people in this court, and you need to worry about them?"
Li Yan flicked his sleeves disdainfully: "If you want me to say, it's okay if something goes wrong here." Otherwise, you can't let those birdmen in the court know that they are powerful. This Yangtze River surface is not something that anyone can play. If it weren't for the hard work of our father and son, how could the wind and rain in the south have been smooth in the past few years?"
"What are you talking about? Shouldn't it be our duty to wait for cannibalism and loyalty to maintain the peace of the river?"
Li Chengji looked at his eldest son dissatisfied: "This fork is not a trivial matter, 330,000 Yin soldiers will come out together, and the entire Panyang Lake and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River will suffer." I would like to ask the fishermen in this lake, how can the people on both sides of the strait be innocent? Why do they come here to pay so many heavy taxes every year? Isn't it just that they hope that the imperial court can protect their peace? Also, how much filial piety has our sincere Bofu received from all over the world in the past year, at this time, Yan'er, you can't bear to sit idly by and ignore them? How can you let them suffer this unjustified disaster because of the slight grievances of your father and son?
He solemnly reprimanded: "You need to remember that the reason why our sincere Li family has been able to be relied on by the imperial court for all generations is not because of how powerful our family is, nor because of our family's connections in the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but because the people who have been in charge of the past generations can maintain a public heart, live up to the heaven and earth, live up to the common people, and live up to the ghosts and gods, so the hearts of the people are wanted." ā
Li Yan stopped talking, and he continued to look in the direction of the stone altar sullenly.
Just a moment later, Li Yan's expression moved slightly: "Little brother, isn't his speed a little fast?"
Li Chengji also frowned, looking puzzled: "It's really incredible, and judging from the changes in the spiritual machine, there is nothing unsmooth." ā
He guessed uncertainly: "Or is it Xuan'er's true nature that is similar to that of the ancestors?"
After all, this is the altar built by the first generation of sincerity and the seal set by himself.
