Chapter 248: Carving Begins
Yes, that's Tang Yu's plan.
Regarding the chisel and the hammer I drew.
Tang Yu decided to do so, and then the Qin soldiers' monument would stand in front of every palace gate in front of Xianyang Palace, so that everyone here could see it.
The monument will be engraved with every important battle of the Qin Dynasty, as well as countless scenes of conquest.
But no one's name will be on it.
During the period when the Qin state unified the six kingdoms, far too many famous generals and soldiers sacrificed their lives for it.
They are commemorating the group as a whole, not any particular individual.
Even Bai Qi, the true war god of Qin, known as the God of Slaughter, would not leave his name on it.
However, he is also part of the Qin soldiers' memorial.
"Gentlemen, today the construction of the monument to the soldiers of Qin and the mausoleum of the soldiers of Qin will begin."
"Every soldier who sacrifices his life for my Great Qin can be buried in this Qin Soldiers' Cemetery, and he can enjoy the respect of every descendant and every citizen of my Qin state."
"And his spirit will protect us from heaven."
"As for this Qin soldiers' monument, it commemorates all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives on the road to unifying the seven states.
"I will now be in charge of building this monument."
As soon as Tang Yu finished speaking, he walked with unusually calm and confident steps to a huge rock.
Looking at the huge rock in front of him, Tang Yu nodded in satisfaction.
The size of this boulder was just within the size limit of the items rewarded by the system.
Not only is the visual effect spectacular, but the material is also extremely sturdy, enough to withstand millions of years.
After all, as someone once said, if you want something to truly last for thousands of years, the only thing you can do is carve it in stone.
Tang Yu thought so too.
"What the Imperial Advisor means by that..."
"So he's planning to carve a monument for himself in public?"
"How long will it take to carve this?"
"Such a big rock."
"This rock is really huge, it is nearly six zhang tall."
The words of the people reached Tang Yu's ears, but he confidently shook his head.
Because he never intended to carve it himself.
His initial goal was to cheat.
There was no other way; he didn't know how to carve it either, so he had to resort to cheating.
Tang Yu has always had a clear understanding of himself.
Before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary person. The only things he had over the ancients were some foresight and knowledge.
In terms of intellect and other aspects, they really can't compare to some of the clever ancient people.
But today, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tang Yu is going to put on a big show.
After all, it was a rare opportunity to obtain such a divine object. In ancient times, this thing was far more effective at showing off than a gun.
After taking a chisel and a hammer out of the system.
Instead of starting to carve, Tang Yu began circling the huge stone, chanting incantations as if he were praying to the heavens.
"Every heroic spirit who fought bravely for the Qin state and sacrificed their lives over the past century."
"Please lend me, Tang Yu, a hand and help me complete your carving."
“I know you were originally hidden in this stone, and I am just making you reveal your true form.”
When Tang Yu's words reached the ears of the surrounding people, their faces were filled with excitement.
"Did you hear that? The Grand Preceptor said that those heroic spirits can hear our words. Those soldiers can hear us."
"really?"
"Can...can you hear me? I'm all grown up now."
"And more importantly, the Grand Preceptor said that these heroic spirits are hidden within this stone. I wonder how the Grand Preceptor will unearth them?"
Many people in Qin were discussing the matter, and some actually followed Tang Yu's advice and began trying to communicate with the fallen soldiers.
However, their efforts were destined to be in vain.
Tang Yu was just putting on a big show.
However, because the person who said these words was none other than the Imperial Advisor Tang Yu, these people believed him without a doubt.
……
"All that fancy trickery will eventually have to be carved out, one chisel at a time."
Xiang Yu looked at Tang Yu with a guilty conscience, fear, and a hint of evasion in his eyes.
However, he refused to admit defeat verbally.
Xiang Yu believed he had already seen through his opponent's tricks.
He originally believed in these things quite a bit.
However, ever since Xiang Yu exposed a so-called charlatan, he felt that everyone was such a charlatan, and that there wasn't a single one who was genuine.
Therefore, Xiang Yu naturally viewed Tang Yu with the attitude of watching a monkey show.
He wanted to see what tricks Tang Yu was up to.
If Tang Yu can really retrieve the spirits of the Qin soldiers hidden in this boulder today, then Xiang Yu will eat the stone on the spot.
……
"Mr. Tang, you've really made a name for yourself."
Looking at the discussions around him, the expectant gazes, and the strange looks the officials gave Tang Yu, Ying Zheng felt an indescribable surge of envy.
After all, a man is a boy until he dies, and even Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, was no exception.
Now Tang Yu is going to pretend to have big breasts.
As Tang Yu's best friend, how could he not be envious?
Even Wang Jian and Li Si, usually the most wise and calm men in Qin, were watching intently as Tang Yu made various prayers and calls under the boulder.
Could it be that there truly are ghosts, gods, and heroic spirits in this world?
Was Mr. Tang really communicating with them?
Li Si felt his worldview had collapsed.
Originally a member of the Legalist school, he was always a staunch materialist.
However, since the person who said this was the Imperial Advisor Tang Yu, he had no choice but to believe him.
Wang Jian's aged eyes were filled with tears as he looked at Tang Yu, as if he was thinking of something.
However, he was muttering to himself:
"Come back, all of you come back. I can lead you into battle one more time."
"I, Tang Yu, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qin State, today earnestly request the spirits of all the heroes of the Qin State to return to their rightful places!"
As Tang Yu spoke each word with force and conviction, everyone even felt their eardrums tremble slightly.
They stared intently at the chisel and hammer in Tang Yu's hands, eager to know what his next move would be.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tang Yu picked up the hammer and struck the chisel.
The next moment, everyone saw the huge rock begin to tremble violently, and cracks began to appear on the rock.
