Chapter 1474: The Monument Leaves Traces

The empty city that was once full of deathly silence is now full of chickens and dogs, and the sound of people is booming, which is a gratifying and congratulatory thing.

Looking at the scenes in various cities from a distance, Le Yun felt a little emotional. Human beings are a great race. They can always open up a world no matter where they are, and they can always overcome difficulties no matter what environment they are in. Difficulties and obstacles, efforts to thrive.

Each city has also made changes. The former city lord's palace has been transformed into a memorial garden open to the whole city. There is a monument to commemorate the deceased residents of the city and the people who collected the corpses of the residents of Zhucheng. Ordinary heroes dead or alive.

Since we were not in a hurry, there were two Mahayana masters, Elder Mu and Elder Xiliang, who came on their behalf. The monks accompanied the little fairy to the Mingyue Empire to view the monument.

The Mingyue Empire built the Heroes’ Garden Mausoleum to commemorate its heroes in the eighth year after Fairy Le set out on her journey from Mangshan Mountain. It was not until the fifteenth year of Fairy Le’s journey that the monument was officially erected.

It is said that the Mingyue Empire went on a vegetarian diet a year before the monument was erected in order to commemorate the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country. On the day the monument was erected, the whole country worshiped together. More than two-thirds of the countries in the mainland Envoys were sent to observe the ceremony, but only small tribes or some small countries were too far away to send envoys.

At the same time, two-thirds of the mainland’s imperial monarchs came to watch the ceremony in person.

The monument to the Mingyue Empire was built at the suggestion of Little Fairy. It was the first monument of special significance erected in the mainland. It became famous in the mainland after its establishment.

It is said that after the monument was laid, all walks of life in the imperial capital closed for three days and went to the garden tomb to worship. It is said that around the Qingming Festival that year, the streets of the imperial capital were empty of people.

It is also said that Emperor Mingyue led the royal family to guard the hero monument for three years.

In short, the entire Mingyue Kingdom supports the monument. The entire Dongchen Continent knows that the Mingyue Empire has a hero monument. All major empires in the mainland are making plans to build monuments imitating the Mingyue Empire.

After hearing a lot of gossip from the monks, Le Yun naturally looked forward to the monument a little more. The monks suggested visiting the Mingyue Empire without any objection.

A group of people entered the capital of the Mingyue Empire in mid-December. Since they were visiting the Hero Monument, there was no need to be secretive. The soldiers stepped on flying swords and accompanied the little fairy carried by Jin Maohou. Flying in groups at low altitude to the Tomb of Heroes.

There are high-level monks arriving in the capital of Mingyue Kingdom. All the monks in the monk families in the Mingyue Empire knew about it and immediately watched carefully. The Beiting family and the Luo family and the Nan family received the biography of Zhenren Luo. After hearing the news, the monks from all the families rushed to the garden mausoleum immediately.

The emperor of Beiting abandoned all government affairs and rushed to the Academy Palace where the emperor's ninth son lived. He hurriedly took his son and his personal attendants with him.The Jindan monks who came from the family took him to the garden mausoleum.

Master Changyun of the Changyun family also recognized the familiar scent and rushed towards the garden.

Elder Mu, Xiliang Elder Zhuerba, and others found the Hero Monument by themselves without the need for others to guide them. The Hero Monument was erected in the southeast of the palace. Although it was far away, as long as it was Monks above the foundation level can see the tall hero monument upon entering the Mingyue Imperial Capital.

The Yuanling Square Garden of Heroes is more than 20 miles away. In addition to the Hero Monument, there are also the Hero Tower, the Hero Pavilion, and the Corridor of Fame. The Hero Tower is where the bones of heroes are buried, because they all want to be laid to rest. , most of them do not want to incinerate the corpse. They only cut off the nails or hair of the deceased and burn them before putting them in the tower to replace the bones.

The Heroes Pavilion stores portraits of heroes, and the Heroes’ Names are recorded in the Hall of Fame.

There are also houses for the troops who clean the garden and protect the mausoleum. There are also courtyards for the families or descendants of heroes to live temporarily when they come to pay homage to the mausoleum every year. There are also houses for people who come to visit the mausoleum. Of course, the guest house only provides accommodation for visitors, but does not provide food and drink expenses.

The mausoleum has tall walls, all of which are gray-white stone walls. The carefulness and exquisiteness of its construction are no less than those of the imperial palace, which shows that the royal family attaches great importance to it.

The mausoleum has two main and two gates. The vermilion gate opens at the end of Mao and closes at the end of the Western time every day.

No matter who he was, the deceased was the most important. The monks arrived at the garden mausoleum, landed more than ten feet away from the high wall, put away their flying swords, and flew close to the ground.

There were guards outside the mausoleum. I didn’t know who the immortals were at first, but when I saw the girl riding a golden lion and combing her hair like a prince, I knew that it was the legendary Fairy Le Xiao. He immediately knelt down on one knee with his weapon in hand to greet him, and his voice was particularly loud: "The third-class soldiers of the Mingyue Empire pay homage to the little fairy, and please pay homage to the little fairy! Pay homage to the immortal, and please pay homage to the immortals!"

"No need. How polite." Yu Qiluo Yi stood beside Little Fairy's junior sister, acting as a spokesperson, and "supported" two rows of guards: "The five great immortal sects will accompany Little Fairy on her journey north, passing near the Mingyue Kingdom. I and all the fellow apprentices proposed The visit here is purely temporary, so you don’t need to panic, just perform your duties."

The guards bowed respectfully, bending their waists to invite the immortals to enter the garden.

The monks passed through the main gate and entered the garden mausoleum.

Inside the mausoleum, there are acres of flower meadows, planted with extremely slow-growing perennial evergreen trees, four-season flowers and plants, as well as cold-defying plum blossoms and cedars. Even in the middle of winter, Plum blossoms also bloom in the cold weather, adding vitality to the garden.

There are many roads between the flowers and gardens. The middle avenue goes straight ahead. After passing through the grass, there is a large square, which is also a place of worship and can accommodate 200,000 people..

At the end of the square is a hill with a dome. The hero monument stands under the hill. The monument is divided into a base and a monument body. The base and body of the monument, together with the parts buried in the ground, are all one. , which was obtained from the entire stone mountain by Yuanying Zhenren.

From the top of the stele to the place where the base meets the ground, it is ninety-nine feet high. The base is divided into two floors, with a total height of twenty feet. The first floor that connects to the ground has a length and width of Seventy-seven feet, the second floor is sixty-seven feet.

The hero monument is fifty-four feet wide and twenty-seven feet thick.

The front and back of the white granite stele are recessed three feet, with raised sides nine feet wide on both sides. The middle of the raised part is left blank, with relief patterns engraved on both sides, and four sides of the base. Each face is also engraved with exquisite reliefs.

The top of the stele is in the shape of a pagoda. At the top of the front of the stele, there are two rows of large red characters with gold edges arranged side by side - Sacrifice for the Mingyue Empire (Sacrifice for the Dongchen Continent), two lines In the center below the vertical characters is "Heroes are immortal".

Among them, the last bit of the immortal word Yong has not been dotted, and the last stroke of the immortal word "dead" has not been written.

On the front, there are numbers and seal characters. Each character is majestic, and each stroke has an awe-inspiring air. Even from a distance, people can feel the awe-inspiring righteousness in it.

There is a round incense burner in front of the stele. The incense burner is large but relatively short. People with a height of over 1.6 meters can put the incense in the incense burner themselves when offering incense.

There are buildings on both sides of the square. The Corridor of Fame and the Heroes Pavilion are built around the top of a hill. There is a Heroes Tower on the top of the hill.

It snowed heavily in the middle of the twelfth month in the Mingyue Imperial Capital. The snow was two to three feet thick in many places. The area around the Heroes Monument was swept clean, and there was no snow within a thousand feet.

It was a rare sunny day, with the sun shining on the snow.

Few people enter the tomb on a snowy day, but the guards still don’t relax. There are guards all around the square. The moon-white armor blends in with the snow. If it weren’t for their weapons and their faces, it would be shocking. Can't tell whether it's a person or a snow pillar.

Entering the garden mausoleum, Le Yun looked up at the towering heroic monument of the Mingyue Empire with the mentality of looking at the monument to the people's heroes of her own country. What she saw was incredible.

Know what she saw?

Her eyes saw a special aura, not only a strong power of faith, but also thoughts. Some of those thoughts were the immortal thoughts of those who sacrificed their lives for the Mingyue Empire or those who devoted themselves to the country. Some of them are the thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and the country of the living soldiers, and some are the remaining thoughts of many people with lofty ideals from all over the Dongchen Continent.

Those thoughts gathered in the stone tablet formed a vast righteousness;

At the same time, there are also some soul creatures attached to the monument. Those soul creatures are the undissipated souls of those who died for the Mingyue Kingdom or the Dongchen Continent. Those whose souls have dissipated, Only immortal thoughts exist.

The Hero Monument of the Mingyue Empire is no longer a stone monument, but has formed a special existence. The stone monument carries the thoughts and residual souls of people who can be "heroes", and has an extremely important meaning.

Having a stone tablet that can contain the souls and remnants of heroes, for them, is equivalent to giving them a place to live, and for the Mingyue Empire, it is equivalent to having an extra protective power, which is worth all the wealth in exchange for it. Opportunities that don’t come.

It is said that if you plant flowers deliberately, they will not live, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will provide shade. Leyun only proposed building a monument to the Mingyue Kingdom. The Beiting family accepted the suggestion and implemented it, thus gaining great recognition. benefit.

The Beiting family deserves this unique reward.

Le Yun saw through the difference in the hero monument and smiled.

The monks from the five sects slowly floated into the square and walked to the front of the stele. The monks from Nascent Soul and above looked up at the stele and found something, but none of them said a word.

"Emperor Mingyue is really..." Luo Cheng saw the unfinished words in the inscription and smiled, but did not finish his words.

"Senior Brother, Emperor Mingyue wants you to write the inscription, right?" Yu Qi understood clearly that the monarchs and ministers of the Mingyue Kingdom were not stupid, so they would naturally think of asking Luo Zhenren from the Zhongyi Mansion of the Empire to write the inscription. Because the senior brother accompanied his junior sister on a long trip, they asked other real people to write the inscription. There were still two unfinished strokes left, and they would add more when Luo Zhenren came to Mingyue Kingdom.

"The Emperor of Beiting mentioned it back then, and I nodded. Since the Emperor of Beiting still remembers it, I have to fulfill my promise and add a touch to the Heroes Monument."

Luo Cheng frankly admitted that this was the case, and turned to look at his junior sister: "My junior sister, Xian Ze Wu Bian, is it possible to ask my junior sister to ghostwrite for my senior brother?"

Le Yun wanted to roll her eyes, Looking at the two Mahayana masters: "Elder Mu, Elder Xiliang, you two are Mahayana masters. If you and the other elders add something, that will be a true blessing from the immortals."

"No, little girl, I am not an expert in calligraphy in the secular world, so I won't show off my shame. You can hurry up and add a few strokes, and we can leave after carving."

Elder Mu directly picked up the little girl and put it on Jinmaohou's back, and slapped the golden lion: "Big lion, be smart. When the little one comes back after carving the words, you can cover her hands."

" Got it." Jin Maohou happily flew up with the little one on his back, and flew to the front of the stone monument.

The music of being thrown out to stand out: "..." It was so unloving to ask her to carve words in such a cold weather.

Now she finally understood that her relationship took a detour and came to the Mingyue Imperial Capital not to visit the Hero Monument, but actually to let her What about carving.

If you don’t want to give face for other things, you really need to give face for carving words on the hero monument. You have to look at the face of those soul creatures even if you don’t look at the faces of living people.

Le Yun looked at the inscription resignedly, calculating how much strength it would take to carve the word "Yong" on the dot, and how to use the knife. After thinking for a while, she looked at the soul creatures that were originally attached to the font of the inscription and hid on the top of the stele. He took out the Soul Jade Sword and swung it to chisel the words.

The Soul Jade Sword came out, and golden light shone thousands of miles away.

The capital of the Mingyue Empire was once again illuminated by golden light, and the whole country was filled with golden light. The city was shaken.

“The Mingyue Empire is blessed again. ”

The little fairy used the soul jade knife to carve words, which was the best blessing for the Mingyue Kingdom and the Hero Monument. The monks also sighed for the good luck of the Mingyue Emperor, and they could do it again and again. Being loved by the little fairy is the greatest honor of the Beiting royal family.

Le Yun swung her knife, cut off a piece of stone, dotted the top of the word "Yong", and dug it out. The stone was thrown back into space smoothly.

The monks could see clearly that the little fairy completed the work in one stroke, and the size and shape of the dug out stone were almost indistinguishable from other strokes.

　"Little girl, there is one last word. "The elder of Xiliang reminded me with a smile.

"You bad guys, do you really want me to finish it alone? "Le Yun curled her lips, those guys are immortals after all, how can she be allowed to bear the fame alone.

" Good things come to an end. "Zhuerba leader and others laughed. They just wanted to fly to immortality, so forget about the engraving.

The real people stayed out of the matter, Leyun was no longer too lazy to reason with them, and jumped from the golden retriever's back Fly into the air and stand on his own, first move to his right hand side, then go up a little, and use the knife to carve words.

The little one refused to let himself carry it, Jin Maohou was stunned for a moment, and quickly stepped aside to avoid delay It’s business for the little one.

When the monks from the five sects saw the little fairy flying in the air, they guessed that she would take action, so they watched in leisurely time. They saw the little fairy skillfully wielding a knife and carving words on the raised side. , the word "Hao" was carved out in the blink of an eye.

When the word appeared, a purple energy flashed away.

When the little fairy swung the knife again to carve the second one At the time of writing, Master Changyun Wanggui of the Changyun family hurried to the garden mausoleum. He also landed outside the garden before flying into the garden. When he saw the little fairy and the five immortals, he silently fought with all the masters. Say hello, standing and looking up at the little fairy who is carving words with the soul jade knife.

The little fairy standing in the air waved her sword repeatedly, and in the flickering light of the soul jade sword, a line of words soon appeared - The hero's fame will last forever.

The little fairy carved a line of words, then flew to her left hand side and waved the knife again. The first word was the word "lie".

As the Soul Jade Sword was scratching across the surface of the stele, each word appeared in front of everyone. When the little fairy put away the knife, it was engraved on the left side - Martyrs' integrity lasts forever.

After carving two lines of couplets, Le Yun added the last half stroke of the rotten character. When the work was finished, there was still a flash of purple light.

She doesn’t know how to carve monuments, but she gives her a hundred thumbs up for her reaction ability. Look at her drawing inferences from one example and copying other people’s techniques to carve words that look decent. She didn’t give the earth People are embarrassed.

Feeling satisfied, Mr. Le Xiao showed a friendly smile to the creatures crowded on the pagoda-shaped top of the stone monument, put away his knife, and flew to sit on the back of the golden lion waiting for him.

Golden Retriever roared and turned around, landing with the little one on his back.
