In Immortal Domain, since the centralized empire, almost all emperors had to construct the imperial mausoleum—almost at the beginning of enthronement, the first order was to repair the imperial mausoleum. The imperial mausoleum has many, many requirements during its construction.
Needless to say, the trend of Feng Shui, sometimes in order to find a good imperial cemetery, even wars will be launched to fight for it!
In addition to Feng Shui, there is another point that is also very important, that is, when building the imperial tomb, it is best not to use spells! Why? Because all practice is the practice of living people, all spells, mana, true energy, etc., belong to the "yang method". Therefore, the imperial tomb built with magic will affect the imperial tomb.
In addition, there are evil spells such as zombies, but this is evil magic, which is obviously incompatible with the Emperor Supreme.
Also, if possible, of course it is best to dig as far as possible into the ground, the deeper the better.
There is also a third point, that is, the more luxurious and majestic the imperial mausoleum is, the better.
Secondly, there is another point, that is-prevent tomb robbery! It goes without saying.
But why build the imperial mausoleum?
His Majesty the Emperor told Li Xian this secret, that is—Tianyu!
When every emperor ascends the throne, there is a so-called "good day and auspicious time", and the emperor who ascends the throne at this so-called auspicious time, that is, the emperor who ascends the throne strictly according to the rules, will hear "heavenly words"-if he ascends the throne in a hurry, later You can also listen to the heavenly language by supplementing the Enthronement Ceremony. Therefore, the emperor is also called the Son of Man, or the Son of Heaven for short.
No emperor knows where this celestial language comes from, and only emperors can hear it. Regardless of the size of the emperor, as long as he is an emperor of a centralized country, as long as he is qualified and enthroned in strict accordance with the rules, he can hear the language of heaven.
Li Xian's heart can be described as turbulent and turbulent. His Majesty the Emperor spoke vaguely, and only vaguely mentioned that as long as the imperial mausoleum is completed, the true spirit of the emperor will enter another world, a world of afterlife, possibly ghosts, and the underworld to continue to fight for hegemony; The mausoleum can provide the souls of the dead with endless vitality, the foundation of practice, and even luck.
Finally, the emperor finished speaking, and looked at Li Xian, "Xiao Xian, I wanted to change my fate against the sky, but it was hard to break my fate. So much so that I have been wasted until now, and there are only less than three years left."
Li Xian tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart, "Father-in-law, are there no restrictions other than not being able to use spells?"
"Yes. In fact, it's not that you can't use spells, but try not to use spells. If you really have to, you can also consider it." His Majesty the emperor also knew that there were less than three years, or even two years left, to complete the imperial examination. The construction of the mausoleum is indeed very difficult.
"Father-in-law, I guarantee that the imperial tomb will be completed within two years, and it will exceed the scale of the imperial tombs of the previous Great Xia Kingdom!"
"Oh?" The emperor was really interested. After looking at Li Xian for a long time, he seemed to be sure that Li Xian was not talking nonsense, and waved to Fu Minghui.
Fu Minghui turned around and took out a large box with the height of a person from the nearby cabin, and gently placed it in front of Li Xian.
Li Xian was curious, it was the first time he came to the palace to receive a gift.
Fu Minghui put down the box, got up and said, "Here are 500 blank imperial edicts, all of which have been stamped. You must guarantee that the construction of the imperial mausoleum will be completed within two and a half years!"
Five hundred blank imperial decrees? ! Li Xian was startled, and then overjoyed. Immediately, he swore impassionedly: "Definitely, I swear. If I can't complete the imperial tomb within two and a half years, I will be blown away!"
His Majesty the Emperor immediately became happy: "Xiaoxian, you are too serious. Tell me, what did you bring to the palace this time?"
Li Xian was extremely despised in his heart - can you be more hypocritical. But no matter how much contempt he felt in his heart, Li Xian still did not forget his "duty". "Father-in-law, what I brought this time is an item called gunpowder. I think my father-in-law has heard about a new thing that appeared in the battle between Anyang and Cai Guo. This new thing is gunpowder.
It is because of the gunpowder that I have the confidence to complete the imperial tomb within two years. I'm going to go straight to the mountain to open a hole. Take the mountain as the mausoleum, and the mountain as the que! "
"Gunpowder? Let me see! Let me see!"
His Majesty the Emperor wants to see it, of course there is no problem. Immediately, the guards got busy, and a simple experiment site was completed under Li Xian's guidance. The guards of the palace are all masters, with spells at their fingertips, and the arrangement on the spot is called a swift one.
Vague clay figurines were erected one by one, small city walls were erected one by one, and a model of a city soon appeared. It's so convenient to have spells.
Li Xian put a fist-sized gunpowder bag in this small model, drew a fuse, and sent it to the emperor. "Father-in-law, just use magic to light the fire. You will see the power of gunpowder"
The emperor shook his head, "Xiao Fu, come on. I can't use any spells now."
Li Xian quickly added: "You can also use burning incense."
Immediately, a guard lit incense and delivered it to the emperor. His Majesty the Emperor was very happy to light the match, and saw a stream of sparks quickly burning forward.
When the matchlock was about to ignite the small gunpowder bag, Li Xian suddenly stood in front of the emperor and propped up a small real yuan shield.
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the power of the fist-sized gunpowder pack could not be underestimated. It instantly blew up half of the small city model; dirt and debris flew all over the sky.
The emperor shouted, "Okay! Xiaoxian, don't get in the way. Do it again!"
The guards were familiar with the car, and His Majesty became addicted to the game as soon as he drove it. As a result, the scale of the explosion became larger and larger, and the carriage of gunpowder brought by Li Xian was quickly consumed.
"Good stuff!" Looking at the messy ground, His Majesty the Emperor was very moved, "Although the spell is good, it consumes a lot of energy and cannot last long. The talisman seal is also very good, but the quantity is too small, the output is too low, and the price is expensive. This explosive is good."
The emperor's eyesight was precise, he pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Xiao Xian, this gunpowder is good, how about preparing one hundred thousand stones for the Imperial Forest Army?"
One hundred thousand stones of gunpowder? This is about 50,000 to 60,000 tons! Your Majesty, what are you going to do? Li Xian was so frightened by this number that he broke into cold sweat. When 50,000 to 60,000 tons of gunpowder explode together, it is almost as powerful as a nuclear bomb of the Tsar Bomb, enough to wipe Wuyang City from the fairyland in one fell swoop.
The power of a large-scale gunpowder explosion is definitely comparable to that of a destructive immortal method—although Li Xian has never seen an immortal method, but he thinks it will look like that.
wrong!
As soon as Li Xian thought about it, he understood that it was unreasonable to ask for 100,000 stones of gunpowder. What the emperor wanted was not the quantity of gunpowder, but the formula of gunpowder.
Li Xian was extremely speechless: What the hell, you people have to change a dozen turns when you say something, do you think you are tired of living! Fortunately, I had already made preparations before I came, and I was ready to reveal the secret of gunpowder.
"Father-in-law, one hundred thousand stones of gunpowder is too much, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it right away. Actually, the formula for gunpowder is very simple, that is, seven parts of saltpeter, two parts of sulfur, and one part of charcoal. The purer the better."
"It's that simple?"
"Yes, it's as simple as that!"
The emperor immediately instructed the guards around him to prepare. Saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur and other items are not lacking in the palace. Needless to say, the result was very good, and the power of the explosion was not weak at all.
"Good! Good! Haha..." His Majesty's already aging Emperor laughed resonantly.
"Xiaoxian, tell me, what reward do you want?"
"This...not for the time being."
"What an honest boy."
Li Xian: ...Can I be a dishonest child...
Seeing Li Xian's stunned look, His Majesty the Emperor was even more happy, "I'll give you a few rewards, you will definitely use them. Draft the decree, appoint Li Xian as the Anyang Shepherd, lead the Eastern Governor of the Great Xia Kingdom, and lead the Great Xia Kingdom's household department." Shangshu servant shoots."
