The empty city that was once full of deathly silence is now buzzing with dogs and chickens, and the sound of people is buzzing, which is a gratifying thing.
Looking at the scenes in various cities from a distance, Le Yun felt a little emotional. Human beings are a great race. No matter where they are, they can always open up a world. No matter what the environment, they can always overcome difficulties and obstacles and work hard to thrive.<
/p>
Changes have also been made in each city, and 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 ordinary heroes who died or were alive who collected the corpses of the residents of the cities.<
/p>
Because we were not in a hurry, there were two Mahayana masters, Elder Mu and Elder Xiliang, who were traveling on their behalf. The monks accompanied the little fairy to the Mingyue Empire to view the monument.
The Mingyue Empire built the Hero Garden Mausoleum to commemorate its heroes in the eighth year after Fairy Le set out on her journey from Mangshan. It was not until the fifteenth year of Fairy's journey that the monument was officially erected.
It is said that the entire 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 entire country worshiped together. More than two-thirds of the countries in the mainland sent envoys to watch the ceremony. Only small tribes or
Some small countries are too far away to send envoys there.
At the same time, two-thirds of the mainland’s imperial monarchs attended the ceremony in person.
The monument of 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 erected, all walks of life in the imperial capital closed for three days and went to the gardens and mausoleums to worship. It is said that around the Qingming Festival that year, the streets of the imperial capital were deserted in the bright moon.
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 the major empires in the mainland are making plans to build monuments imitating the Mingyue Empire.
Le Yun listened to the monks telling a lot of gossip, so she naturally looked forward to the monument a little more. The monks suggested visiting the Mingyue Empire and did not object.
A group of people entered the capital of Mingyue Empire in mid-December. Since they were visiting the Monument of Heroes, there was no need to cover up. The soldiers stepped on flying swords and accompanied the little fairy carried by Jin Maohou, flying low in the sky in groups.
Flying to the Heroes Garden Mausoleum.
A high-level monk came to the capital of the 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's Nan family received a message from Zhenren Luo, and the monks from each family rushed there immediately.
Garden mausoleum.
The Beiting Emperor 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, and took them to the garden mausoleum by the Jindan monks who came from the family.
Master Changyun of the Changyun family also recognized the familiar scent and rushed towards the garden.
Elder Mu, Elder Zulba of Xiliang, 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 they were far apart, as long as they were monks above the level of Foundation Establishment, they could enter
The tall hero monument can be seen in 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 everyone wants to be laid to rest, most people are unwilling to incinerate the corpses.
Cut the nails or hair of the deceased and burn them before placing them in the stupa to replace the bones.
The Heroes' Pavilion stores portraits of heroes, and the Heroes' Names are recorded in the Hall of Fame.
In addition, there are houses for the troops who clean the garden and protect the tomb, as well as courtyards for the families or descendants of heroes to live temporarily when they come to pay homage to the tomb every year. There are also guest courtyards for people who come to visit the tomb. Of course, for visitors
Visitors are only provided with accommodation, but no food or drink expenses are provided.
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 front 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. When the monks arrived at the garden mausoleum, they 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. When I saw the girl riding a golden lion and combing her hair, I knew it was the legendary Fairy Le Xiao. She immediately knelt down on one knee with her weapon in hand.
Greetings, the 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 to be too polite." Yu Qiluo Yi stood beside Little Fairy's junior sister, acting as a spokesperson, and "supported" two rows of guards: "The five Immortal Sect real people accompanied Little Fairy on her journey north, passing near Mingyue Kingdom, and I and the other teachers
My brother's suggestion to come here for a visit is purely temporary. 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 garden mausoleum is a vast field of flowers and grassland, with extremely slow-growing evergreen trees and four-season flowers and plants. There are also plum blossoms and cedars that endure the cold. Even in the middle of winter, the plum blossoms bloom in the cold weather, adding to the garden's beauty.
The mausoleum is full of vitality.
There are many roads between the flowers and gardens, and a main avenue in the middle goes straight forward. After passing through the grassland, there is a large square, which is also a place of worship and can accommodate 200,000 people standing in line.
At the end of the square is a hill with a dome. The hero monument is erected 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 body. They were created by Yuanying Zhenren.
Materials obtained from the entire stone mountain.
From the top of the monument 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 is connected to the ground is seventy-seven feet long and seventy-seven feet wide.
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 nine-foot-wide raised edges on both sides. The raised part is left blank in the middle, with relief patterns engraved on both sides. The four sides of the base are 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). In the center below the two rows of vertical characters are "
"Heroes will live forever".
Among them, the last bit of the word "eternal" has not been dotted, and the last stroke of the word "eternal" has not been finished.
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, one 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 over 1.6 meters tall can put the incense in the incense burner by 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, and the Heroes Tower is built 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 Hero Monument was cleaned very 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 impossible to tell whether they were human beings or snow pillars.
.
Walking into the garden mausoleum, Le Yun looked up at the towering hero 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.
Do you 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, and some of them were the immortal thoughts of the living soldiers.
The thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and the country are also the remaining thoughts of many people with lofty ideals from all over the Dongchen Continent.
Those thoughts gathered in the stone tablet, forming 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 are only
There are immortal thoughts that exist in the world.
The hero monument of the Mingyue Empire is no longer just 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 extremely important significance.
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 force, which is an opportunity that no amount of wealth can buy.
It is said that if you plant flowers intentionally, they will not live, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade. Le Yun only proposed building a monument to Mingyue Kingdom. The Beiting family accepted the suggestion and implemented it, thus gaining great benefits.
Repaying kindness in return, the Beiting family deserves this unique reward.
Le Yun saw through the difference in the Hero Monument and smiled and rolled her eyes.
The monks from the five sects slowly floated into the square and walked to the front of the stele. The monks above Nascent Soul 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.
"Elder 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 naturally thought of asking Luo Zhenren from the Zhongyi Mansion of the Empire to write the inscription, because the eldest brother accompanied his junior sister far away
After a while, they asked other real people to write the inscription, but there were still two unfinished strokes left. They would add more when Luo Zhenren came to Mingyue Kingdom.
"The Emperor of Beiting mentioned it back then, and I nodded. Even though 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 there was such a thing, and turned to look at his junior sister: "My junior sister, the fairyland is boundless, is it possible to ask my junior sister to ghostwrite for my senior brother?"
Le Yun wanted to roll her eyes and looked at the two Mahayana masters: "Elder Mu, Elder Xiliang, you two are Mahayana masters. If you and the elders add something, that will be a true blessing from the immortals."
"No, little girl, I'm not an expert in calligraphy in the secular world, so I won't show 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 help cover her hands."
"I know." Jin Maohou happily flew up with the little one on his back, and flew to the front of the stone monument.
Le Yun, who was thrown out to stand out: "..." It was so unloving for her to carve words in such a cold weather.
Now she finally understands that her love took a detour and came to Mingyue Imperial Capital not to visit the Heroes Monument, but to let her carve words.
If you don’t want to give face for other things, you really need to give face when you engrave 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, and calculated how much strength it would take to carve the word "Yong" on the dot, and how to use the knife. She thought for a while, looked at the soul creatures that were originally attached to the inscription and hid on the top of the stele, and took out
Soul Jade Sword, wield the sword to chisel characters.
The soul jade sword comes out, and the golden light shines thousands of miles away.
The capital of the Mingyue Empire was once again illuminated by golden light, and the whole 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 Mingyue Kingdom and the Hero Monument. The monks also expressed emotion for the good luck of the Mingyue Emperor. Being able to receive the little fairy's love again and again is a member of the Beiting royal family.
The greatest honor.
Le Yun swung the knife, cut off a piece of stone with one stroke, dotted the dot on the word "Yong", and threw the dug-out stone back into space.
The monks could see clearly that the little fairy made the cut in one stroke, and there was almost no difference in the size and shape of the stone dug out from the other strokes.
"Little girl, there is one last word left." Xiliang elder reminded with a smile.
"You bad guys, do you really want me to finish it all by myself?" Le Yun pouted, those guys are immortals after all, how can she be allowed to bear the fame alone?
"All good things must come to an end." Head Jurba and others laughed. They just wanted to fly to immortality, so forget about the engraving.
The real people stayed out of the matter, and Le Yun was no longer too lazy to reason with them. She flew from the golden retriever's back to the air and stood on her own, first moving to her right hand side, then higher up, and swung her knife to carve words.
The little one refused to let him carry it, and Jin Maohou was stunned for a moment, and quickly stepped aside so as not to delay the little one's business.
Seeing the little fairy flying in the air, the monks from the five sects guessed that she would take action, so they watched with leisurely time. They saw the little fairy skillfully wielding a knife and carving on the raised side, and in the blink of an eye, the word "Hao" was carved out.
p>
When that word appeared, there was a flash of purple energy.
When the little fairy swung the knife again to carve the second character, Changyun Wanggui, the real person of the Changyun family, rushed to the garden mausoleum. He also landed outside the garden before flying into the garden. When he saw the little fairy and the five great immortals
The clan members silently greeted all the real people and stood looking up at the little fairy who was carving words with the Soul Jade Sword.
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, turned to her left hand side, and swung the knife again. The first word was the word "lie".
As the soul jade sword scratched across the surface of the monument, each word appeared in front of everyone's eyes. When the little fairy put away the sword, it was engraved on the left side - Martyrs' moral integrity lasts forever.
After carving two lines of couplets, Le Yun added the last half-stroke to the rotten character. When the work was finished, there was still a flash of purple light.
She doesn't know how to engrave monuments, but I give her a hundred thumbs up for her responsiveness. See, she can draw inferences from one example and imitate other people's techniques, and the characters she carved look decent, without embarrassing the people on earth.
Satisfied, Mr. Le Xiao showed a friendly smile to the creatures crowded on the pagoda-shaped top of the stone monument, sheathed his knife, flew to the back of the golden lion waiting for him and sat on it.
The golden retriever roared and turned around, landing on the ground with the little one on his back.
