Ark of the Immortal

321. Pass on the fire from generation to generation

"One, two, three, hi!"

There was a huge crowd, and there were countless big men with thick ropes tied to their shoulders and tied to the piles of rocks behind them, and they were going to the temporary construction site.

Today is a big day, the day when the bones of the Fire Memorial Monument are sealed and the carving begins.

At that time, not only the ashes of the hero's soul will be sealed in the monument, but also the Heavenly Master will take action to melt the gaps between the stones, so that the entire stone will be integrated into one, turning into a unified giant stone monument.

After the carving is completed, the heavenly master will be able to carry the memorial stone with great force and set it up in the Dayan Mausoleum, where it will stand for thousands of years.

Seeing that the transportation of the stones was almost finished, Liang Xun also felt a little excited.

After all, he knew that today was not only the day when the Heavenly Master took action and melted bones, but also the day when that person left his mark on Dayan for the first time in thousands of years.

This news was naturally released by the emperor.

After hearing the conversation between the general and the emperor, His Majesty was very happy and even looked much better. In the past few days, the imperial kitchen also seized the opportunity to prepare some food that the emperor had rarely eaten before, hoping to give the emperor a taste.

Liang Xun heard the news and felt relieved.

The power of a divine general is naturally useful. Even the common people voluntarily contributed, hoping that the stone monument would be built quickly so that they could have a glimpse of the divine general.

After all, most common people have only seen divine generals from paintings and books, and have no idea at what time they might pass by them, wearing exotic armor, carrying a big sword on their back, and wearing a spiral at their waist. The broken knight of the sword is their divine general.

After taking a sip of tea, Liang Xun felt hot in his heart. He simply rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush down. He also picked up a rope and dragged the stones away.

Fortunately, Yan Di beside him persuaded him in every possible way, so he gave up this plan.

Then Yan Di said righteously.

"Sir, you cannot do this. It would be detrimental to your majesty, but my subordinates can!"

Then, before Liang Xun could agree, Yan Di threw down his coat, rushed down, and joined the sea of ​​people.

Liang Xun was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Yan Di had already put on the rope and was carrying the stones with the workers.

Until noon, the clouds dispersed, and the dazzling sun looked particularly warm against the winter backdrop.

The workers put down the hemp ropes on their bodies, took a bowl of warm water from their companions, drank it happily, then wiped the sweat on their heads and looked back.

The stone had been stretched into a cylindrical shape, and it stopped in the middle of the engraving platform.

There are already sergeants stationed next to the carving table, keeping the rest away.

Because now is the time to seal the bones.

Li Mo, the border sealing general who was supposed to be at Yumen, appeared here, carrying a huge earthen jar and walking up from the bottom of the carving table.

He did not carry weapons, but he was wearing armor, and the earthen jar on his shoulders probably weighed several hundred kilograms.

Go all the way up the steps of the carving table, all the way to the top, in the middle of the pile of stones, then lift the earthen jar on your shoulder and smash it into the middle of the pile of stones.

Bang!

The jars were broken and dust filled the sky.

This is the smallest part of the corpses of soldiers who died on the border in the past thirty years.

Each person took a handful of ashes and put them into an earthen jar. However, over the past thirty years, such a large earthen jar was assembled.

Nowadays, the ashes in this earthen jar are falling layer by layer along the gaps in the stones, and some are even about to fall to the ground before their eyes.

But at this moment, a talisman flew from the sky.

I saw an old man with white hair standing on the high platform. He moved his hand and saw real fire burning from the talisman and then sticking to the pile of stones.

Under the stones and ashes, flames suddenly spread upward.

Miraculously, the flame did not burn the carving table set up next to it, and even Li Mo did not feel the slightest warmth.

Tianshi looked calm, but his left hand had already been clenched into a fist.

Want to directly control part of the real fire to burn the stone. Even with his practice, he still couldn't achieve perfect perfection, and at this moment, there was even burning pain spreading throughout his body.

It was the old Heavenly Master who met the emperor before.

Under the burning of real fire, the stones gradually merged with the ashes.

The ashes were used as the sealing material to erase the entire edge of the stone, leaving only the smooth stone surface.

By the time the last ray of flame dissipated, the entire stack of cylindrical stones had turned into a rounded piece, smaller than before. Some of the impurities were eliminated by the burning of the real fire, leaving behind The hardest part.

Stab straight, the old master put down the two fingers of his right hand and said loudly.

"Today, the fire memorial monument is completed, and it is as perfect as it should be. I also have the list of fallen soldiers with me. It just needs to be engraved and then it can be sent to the cemetery to be remembered by my people in Dayan for eternity."

The old master's voice was not clear, it was showing signs of old age, but it was still full of energy, and the voice covered the entire construction site.

"So, I respectfully invite the divine general to carve the first stroke of the inscription!"

When the people below heard the last words of the Heavenly Master, they cheered like thunder.

"Your Majesty, General!"

"God is coming?! Is he really coming?!"

"God general! God general!"

Just like a large-scale fan meeting, Wengstein did not expect that he would actually see a scene as enthusiastic as Casimir in the country of Great Yan.

He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the undead man beside him with a smile.

"It's your turn."

The undead man nodded slightly, bent his knees and pressed down, then jumped up suddenly.

A gray-black figure jumped up from the crowd. Although he was originally inconspicuous, he was already accompanied by flames in mid-air.

There were lines like lava bursting out on his armor, igniting in the air, like using cinnabar to draw a magnificent straight line across the painting.

The flame crossed dozens of meters of people and landed gently.

The crowd's shouts grew louder, and the undead took a deep breath.

Flame lines all over his body ran up his right arm, condensing into a tiny flame on the top of his raised finger.

Even at noon, the scorching sunlight cannot take away the brilliance of the flame at his fingertips.

Li Mo lowered his head to greet the general.

After the old Heavenly Master noticed the flames at the Immortal Man's fingertips, his eyes felt like needles pricking him, and he couldn't look directly at the flames.

So, the old man lowered his head willingly, and clear tears slowly flowed from his eyes.

That is true fire, an extremely pure flame.

When the people below saw the flames, their eyes were distracted by the flames and they did not dare to look away.

The moment the undead man straightened his arm and touched the stone tablet with his fingertips, the flames left traces on the stone tablet.

The immortal engraved the first name on the stone tablet according to what he was taught to write yesterday.

Li Qing.

When writing this name, the immortal thought of the old man again.

The old man who ran towards the flames without hesitation even though his body turned into an insect body.

At that moment, he had already relieved himself of the heavy burden, but he was still willing to let everything stored in his body turn into firewood in exchange for 30,000 immortal souls to accompany him in the battle.

Just like the reason why the immortal agreed to the emperor, there are such generals and such people of Dayan.

Perhaps their ending will really be different from Lothric's. Their efforts have been recognized by the undead.

When the last stroke was finished, the undead man retracted his finger.

Following this name, the entire stele spread out like scorched cracks along the entire surface of the stele, with red flames spreading in the cracks. And in the blink of an eye, it merged with the entire stone tablet.

This is another gift left by the undead for Great Yan.

Combining the souls and wills of tens of thousands of heroic souls, coupled with the suppression of the First Fire, as long as this stone tablet is there, there will no longer be demons in the capital.

Even if someone as desperate as Tracys insists on causing trouble in Dayan, he is just asking for his own death.

The people in the audience were still shouting loudly. The immortal turned his head and looked at Li Mo, who had been standing beside him without moving an inch.

Walked up to him and patted his shoulder gently.

"come on."

Li Mo moved slightly and felt a sore nose. He knew that the words of the God General were precisely because of the deep impression his father left on the God General.

My father loved listening to plays, and he also acted in plays himself. How would he feel if he knew that he had left an impression on the general?

But he just cupped his fists and responded in a deep voice.

"promise!"

...

At noon, what happened in the city had spread throughout the capital.

People rushed to tell each other, and everyone knew that the god general had really returned, and even left writings on the stone tablet.

The flame burning in the Great Flame seemed to grow stronger.

After Li Mo completed the fire sacrificial ceremony, he had to go to Yumen to preside over the progress of Yumen after moving mountains and changing roads.

He just said hello to the undead man and left immediately.

He adapted quickly. He had studied with his father for several years and already had a lot of experience.

The emperor didn't talk to the immortal anymore, he knew that the immortal was leaving.

On the other hand, Liang Xun, the people's official came to the ferry near the capital and came to see the immortals off when they left.

"Master Liang, long time no see."

"Not that long."

Liang Xun let go of all the officials. After the stone monument was built, he stopped caring about his affairs. He really got a period of rest.

"It's just that the general came to the capital for the first time, but the lower official couldn't show the general the scenery of the capital. It was the official's dereliction of duty, and the general should be punished."

Liang Xun looked serious, but only Yan Di behind him knew.

Mr. Liang just feels sorry that he can't play with the generals. Where does he have any responsibilities?

However, at this time, he couldn't expose his boss's thoughts, so Yan Di could only keep it in his heart.

He has seen Mr. Liang holding the framed signature of the divine general in his hand more than once.

"It's okay. Maybe there will be a chance in the future."

The undead man didn't feel anything at all. Liang Xun left a good impression on him. If he comes to Dayan again in the future, let's talk about it.

Liang Xun clasped his fists in response, and carefully instructed the boatman to treat the undead well and not to neglect them when they were sending the undead out of the country.

They planned to leave Dayan by water, just like when they came. This way there is no need to get off the car and get off the boat at the Shang-Shu border. It might be a detour at worst, but at least it would be much more convenient.

Liang Xun was checking everything in detail. Chen, who came with Liang Xun, walked up at this time.

Chen had brought Immortal and Wengstein here, so she naturally had a reason to come to see them off.

"Mr. Immortal, thank you very much for taking care of me along the way."

She bowed to the undead man. She had not been in Dayan for too long, so she was naturally used to the way Longmen got along with him.

"thank you too."

The immortal accepted Chen's thanks. He knew that there was still a heavy burden on this girl's shoulders.

I hope that next time we meet, she will still be upright, worthy of the Chixiao sword on her waist.

This long sword was obviously forged with real fire. It should be a sword left over from the founding emperor's time, so that it could match her identity.

"Want me to help and bring a message?"

Wei Yanwu should still miss Chen a lot. The immortal will definitely pass by Longmen when he goes back this time, and he plans to go and see Wei Yanwu again.

"No, I'm about to go to the north and join the battlefield."

Chen refused.

"Before I can truly control Chi Xiao completely and draw the sword at will, I will not contact the commander."

"That's fine."
