As soon as they met, Qi Niu made such a request, which made Ying Zheng very embarrassed.
"Senior Qi Niu, I have made this piano with your totem engraved on it, but my piano skills are really average." Ying Zheng said with some embarrassment.
Ji Fa raised his hand to save the situation and said, "I'll do it."
Ying Zheng stuck out the tip of his tongue and thought to himself: This old god has lived for almost 800 years, what kind of music can he not know?
He took out the special alloy musical instrument and laid it flat in front of Ji Fa. Ying Zheng adjusted it slightly and then stood aside.
Ji Fa gently plucked the strings a few times, and then a gentle and melodious tune floated out, which was very pleasant to the ears.
The prison cow's expression relaxed, as if intoxicated, as if it was confused, as if it was feeling unbearably itchy when someone suddenly tickled it.
Ying Zheng secretly laughed in his heart: It turns out that his master said that this prisoner cow loves human music so much that he is obsessed with it. No wonder he wants to carve the totem on the head of the musical instrument.
After one song, Ji Fa changed to another cheerful song, which seemed to arouse the prisoner's mood.
Prisoner Niu's mouth was slightly open, his expression was happy, and he seemed to be in a happier mood.
After the two pieces of music were played, Ji Fa pressed the strings with both hands and the music stopped.
Prisoner Niu urged with some unfinished thoughts: "Don't stop, play another song."
Ji Fa waved his hand and said: "This musical instrument has just been made and still needs to be adjusted. Some of the notes were not played correctly just now. Besides, although the music sounds good, you can't listen to it all at once. I can accompany you here. I’ll play music for you every day for a few days.”
Qi Niu blinked and said, "That's pretty much it. You haven't been here since you left three hundred years ago. I'm bored to death."
Ji Fa explained: "This place is far away from the Central Plains, and I have many things to deal with, so I came a little late."
Ying Zheng stepped forward and said, "Senior Qi Niu, don't worry. In a few years, I will come here often. I'm afraid that senior will be bored by then."
A trace of joy flashed in Qi Niu's eyes: "Why, the final plan is about to be launched?"
"Exactly." Ying Zheng took out the newly made Fish Intestine Sword, placed it in front of Prisoner Niu, and then briefly explained the plan to build the Great Wall.
Qiu Niu thought about it for a while and then said: "This is a good idea. You must know that the dragon vein in the north with Yinshan Mountain as the core is the most critical. The disaster in ancient times turned the fertile land into a grassland , and this is the edge of the disaster area and the dividing line with the fertile soil of the Central Plains."
"Early on, the natural resources here were also extremely active. There were volcanic eruptions and violent earthquakes from time to time, and floods also occasionally occurred."
"Fortunately, generations of your ancestors have continued to repair it, which is why we are now stable. But to finally solve the problem, a series of big actions are needed."
Ying Zheng was curious about what the "big move" it was talking about was, so he asked, "Senior, I dare to ask, what is a big move?"
Prisoner Niu said: "This dragon vein is composed of more than fifty fire eyes. The number is quite dense. The three core ones are guarded by me, Pulao and Baxia respectively. If it is to be completely repaired, it will need to be fully loaded with fire eyes." The Celestial Eye of the Five Elements Energy is placed in the Nine Cauldrons, and then goes upstream and is placed at several sources of natural energy. When the Celestial Eye is completely melted, it will be basically completely repaired."
Ying Zheng blinked, looked at Ji Fa, and asked, "Master, have you done this before?"
Ji Fa shook his head and said: "It's not so complicated and dangerous. It's just about releasing the Five Elements Energy in the Fire Eye with Zhu Jiuyou's help. The most time-consuming thing at that time was actually the Five Elements Energy Reserve."
Ying Zheng asked: "Then the difficulty this time is to find those sources, and then
Install the Third Eye, right? "
"That's right." Ji Fa said, "So we can't rely entirely on Zhu Jiuyou. It's best to build a passage to connect it."
Ying Zheng suddenly realized: "I understand, this is the purpose of building the tower foundation under the Great Wall."
Ji Fa nodded and said: "Exactly. However, when three third eyes are installed one after another, the interval cannot exceed three days. Otherwise, when the first third eye runs out of energy, it will be useless to put in the later ones."
Ying Zheng said: "That's why Master wants to connect the base of the tower with dense stones to make it easier to run quickly on it, right?"
Ji Fa chuckled: "Yes, building a passage that can be passed quickly will save the trouble of crossing mountains and ridges, and it will ensure that we can reach the next fire eye in the fastest time."
The appearance of the Great Wall that had been drawn before emerged in Ying Zheng's mind. The building that looked like a high wall was actually the most important thing that allowed for fast passage on it.
Ji Fa suppressed his smile and said: "When placing the Third Eye, it is best to put its accompanying cauldron into the source of natural power, and a man and a woman with the blood of Fuxi and Nuwa are required to open it together. "
"A couple...a man and woman?" Ying Zheng asked doubtfully, "Am I not the only one?"
Ji Fa shook his head and said: "The most important thing about the five elements of energy is the harmony of yin and yang. Otherwise, why would ancestor Fuxi and Empress Nuwa make Jiuding and Tianmu respectively?"
"Then who should I cooperate with?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Don't worry about this. The candidate has been selected for a long time." Ji Fa said, "You have been wondering what Jing Liang is doing. In fact, he is helping you protect the descendants of the Nuwa Empress."
The descendant of Nuwa that Ji Fa was referring to was naturally Meng Jiang, but Ying Zheng was confused after hearing this, but it also solved some of the doubts in his mind.
Qiu Niu said from the side: "The difficulty lies in how to build that passage, but don't worry, I will find more Zhu Jiuyou to cooperate with you."
"Then thank you, senior." Ying Zheng felt somewhat confident.
"When will you start taking action?" Qiu Niu asked.
Ying Zheng replied: "The world is not unified yet, so we can't build the Great Wall with great fanfare right away. However, I will send people to explore the terrain first and prepare the dense stones and other materials and equipment to be used."
Qi Niu blinked and said, "It's not convenient for me to show up, but King Wu is very familiar with the terrain here. He can guard here."
Ying Zheng thought to himself, this was Liu Jifa who had changed his ways to play the piano here.
Ji Fa smiled and said: "I have already drawn the map here, and I can't do without the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum now."
"The Qin Emperor's Mausoleum? Is it the one built at Yajuan?" Qiu Niu asked.
Ying Zheng rushed to answer: "Exactly, the foundation is almost completed now."
"Haha." Qiu Niu said with a smile, "After you finish building it, I have to go over and take a look. Speaking of which, I don't know what happened to that guy Yaizhen these years."
Speaking of this, Qiu Niu's eyes flashed with a little longing, but more of it was a desire, which seemed to be an urge to go to the outside world.
No one will feel better if they are suffocated in one place for a long time, and the same goes for mythical beasts.
Then, Ying Zheng briefly talked about Ya Sui's current situation, except of course the New Year's Eve matter.
It was getting late, and they had almost said what they needed to say. Ji Fa and Ying Zheng promised to send more cattle and sheep to the prisoner cow and come back to see it after a while, and then left the cave.
When he returned to Zhao Jun's camp, it was getting late. Li Mu left Ying Zheng to camp here. Ying Zheng declined politely and hurried back to Qin camp overnight.
.
However, Ying Zheng really missed Hu Yu, so he made an agreement with Li Mu that after the Huns left, he would go with him to the State of Zhao and take Hu Yu back to the State of Qin.
After leaving Zhao Jun's camp, Ying Zheng ordered the team to light torches and continue on their way. After all, there were many forces in this place, so it was better to go back as soon as possible.
It was difficult to walk at night, and when we returned to the camp, it was almost dawn.
Ying Zheng ordered the team to rest quickly, then took Ji Fa back to the tent and took a nap.
Although as Heavenly Successors, both of them have extraordinary structures and the sleep time they need has been greatly reduced, after all, they have worked hard all day, especially Ji Fa, who is getting older and needs more rest.
When the two of them woke up at nearly half of the hour, Ying Zheng called Wang Jian over and ordered him to explain the process from the expedition to the present in more detail.
Ji Fa listened and pondered, his eyes shaking from time to time.
From the time he followed his father to attack Zhou until he retired, the rise and fall of the entire Zhou Dynasty had been seen in his eyes, but facing the Xiongnu was a different topic.
Because it does not belong to the Central Plains and is not under his control.
After listening to Wang Jian's story, Ji Fa narrowed his eyes and said, "If you do this, will you let the tiger go home?"
"It is indeed possible." Ying Zheng replied, "But if Touman is detained or killed directly, then the Huns' revenge in the future may be endless."
Ji Fa nodded slightly and said: "That's right, we don't have that much time to deal with them."
Ying Zheng said seriously: "As for whether Man Shanyu can fulfill the agreement, we can only see whether he is a person of integrity, and whether he gives us the Heshi Bi is the best proof."
Wang Jian said: "Yes, this is the best proof. For this, the king put all the sweat and blood on the horse."
"Well, if he is really sincere, he should give up He's Bi." Ji Fa looked at Ying Zheng and said, "By the way, didn't you say before that you wanted to build an imperial seal? I think this He's Bi It’s quite appropriate.”
Ying Zheng and Wang Jian were amused, wondering why the "He family" became "appropriate".
"I have this idea." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "When I was in Jingjue, I heard the envoy from Khotan talking about the origin of the He's Bi, and then I realized that the He's Bi was originally divided into two parts. That’s when I came up with the idea of using it to make a national jade seal.”
Ying Zheng once mentioned this matter to Ji Fa, saying that he planned to make a deal with Khotan and asked Wu Chan to negotiate with Khotan on his behalf.
The news from the Western Region has not yet arrived, but the piece of He's Bi from the Huns is about to be obtained.
Ji Fa said: "If you really get this jade, it might be a good idea to make a jade seal to pass down the country. In the future, Jiuding will no longer exist in the world, and you have to find something as a symbol to represent the Wang family."
Ying Zheng glanced at Wang Jian, and then ordered him to find out what was going on with the Huns.
Wang Jian took the order, and Ying Zheng finally said: "It's better not to let the generals know too much details now. I almost told Xuanyuan Sword just now."
Ji Fa smiled and nodded in agreement.
Ying Zheng asked again: "Master, what should be engraved on the jade seal? It can't be a totem of reaching out."
He was really frightened by Xi Beast's incident.
Ji Fa twisted his snow-white beard with his hand, thought for a moment, and said: "This jade seal will be our own from now on and has nothing to do with those mythical beasts. Why not write a few words on it."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he felt relieved and asked, "What words should you write down?"
"If you receive orders from heaven, you will live forever!" Ji Fa said seriously.
