Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land (2/3)

Shashasha.-

He watched as Hanging Silk Lady respectfully retreated into the depths of the mist until she finally disappeared completely from his sight.

Li Boyang then turned around and looked at Li Jingshu, who had a blank expression on her face.

"My Big Girl, I suddenly remembered something. You should go home by yourself today!"

After blinking once, Li Jingshu didn't ask any further questions, but nodded obediently and sensibly.

"Um—is there anything I need to tell Brother Yu and Sister-in-law?"

Upon hearing Li Jingshu's question, Li Boyang pondered for a moment.

Then his shadow suddenly rose up.

A scroll of "Mountain Terrain and River Flow Diagram" specially drawn on silk was handed over.

Unlike the sketches in the study, this scroll of "Mountain Terrain and River Flow Diagram" not only accurately and completely depicts the topography of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

At some key junctures, Li Boyang also drew corresponding architectural models of water conservancy facilities.

From large reservoirs and dams to small canals and aqueducts

From pumping stations that directly extract groundwater to inverted siphons that traverse valleys and depressions, Li Boyang even marked the names of the corresponding mountain gods and water gods at the locations of each mountain range and river, according to Xiluo's description.

It is no exaggeration to say that this "Mountain Terrain and River Flow Diagram" is so detailed that it is measured in meters.

Li Boyang meticulously marked down almost every detail he could think of.

In addition, the silk used to draw this "Mountain Terrain and River Flow Diagram" was also quite exquisite.

It was made of the same silk as the original "Nine Chapters of the Lower Mysteries," possessing the characteristic of not decaying even after a thousand years.

Li Boyang still remembers the heartbroken and reluctant look on Xiluo's face when she took out the silk.

In Xiluo's words, these silks are far more precious than the Silk Fur Robe.

Since her sister's death, the remaining silk has become an irreplaceable, unique item.

If Li Boyang hadn't needed them, I would never have given him these unique items.

Then it's just like Spirit Rhinoceros Horn and Silk Fur Robe.

Xiluo firmly asserted her ownership of the silk to Li Boyang.

After Li Boyang's death, this exquisite "Mountain Terrain and River Flow Diagram" will once again become Xiluo's collection. "What a beautiful painting!"

This is the first time I've seen this version of the "Mountain Terrain and River Flow Diagram".

Li Jingshu was clearly stunned by the lifelike drawing above, and it took her a long time to recover.

Because when Li Boyang drew this "Mountain Terrain and River Flow Diagram", he used a full-size, reduced-scale sketching technique.

It may lack the realm of artistic expression, but in terms of authenticity, it far surpasses this world by more than one era.

This painting is more than just beautiful—

Seeing the shock on Li Jingshu's face, Li Boyang also revealed a rare expression of smugness.

Li Boyang then unfurled the "Mountain Terrain and River Flow Diagram".

The scroll floated in mid-air, revealing the complete appearance of the Hundred Lands.

Then, he sketched out the location of Li Household Village.

The central area of the scroll suddenly zoomed in and out, perfectly presenting the entire landscape and village of Li Household Village at the very center of the scroll.

If you look closely, you can even faintly see fallen leaves fluttering and grass swaying, creating a lifelike scene.

If it weren't for the fact that I didn't recognize any of those people up there...

Li Jingshu had no doubt that Li Boyang had captured the entire Li Household Village in the painting.

"Just like that Bronze Treasure Book, this scroll was also refined by the Imprisoned Soul Cauldron and imbued with spirituality—"

"However, this scroll was one of my earliest works, so its spiritual quality isn't as prominent as that of the Bronze Treasure Book."

"In contrast, I enhanced the other attributes of this painting--"

"As a painting, as a Law Treasure, both its materials and techniques represent the limits I can currently reach."

Only after Li Boyang reminded her did Li Jingshu notice.

The mountains and rivers depicted in the painting, when connected together, formed a perfect Speech Talisman Incantation.

That's an [Energy Talisman Incantation], and it's also the most powerful of the three Talisman Incantation Li Boyang has analyzed so far.

The most universally applicable Talisman Incantation.

The "Spirit Gathering Formation" that Li Jingshu still uses to this day was deciphered from this.

What is the name of this painting?

"Could it be that it's just called Energy Talisman Incantation '?"

It must be admitted that Li Jingshu's focus is always so unexpected.

Li Boyang was stunned for a while before realizing that the other party was actually criticizing his hasty naming of the [Taiji Diagram].

[Taiji Diagram] is Li Boyang's formal name for the yin-yang fish.

However, Li Boyang always habitually referred to it as a "Yin-Yang Talisman Incantation," leading Li Jingshu and Xiluo to believe that the pair of yin-yang fish were indeed called "Yin-Yang Talisman Incantation."

After all, the concept of "Tai Chi" has not yet appeared in this world.

Apart from Li Boyang, no one else knew or understood the significance of it.

"When did you learn to talk like that, so sarcastic and unpleasant?"

Li Boyang poked Li Jingshu's forehead in an annoyed tone, feeling that he should reduce the amount of time she spent with Xiluo.

Otherwise, one day, this girl will pick up all of Xiluo's bad habits.

"To be honest, I don't think I've ever given this scroll a formal name."

"Since this painting depicts the entire landscape of the Hyakuchi Hundred Lands Mountain Range, how about we call it -.-"

Unfortunately, before Li Boyang could finish speaking...

Li Jingshu shook her head vigorously, interrupting him decisively.

"No, please, please don't choose a name that's so long and impossible for anyone to remember!"

"Keep it simple, okay? Ideally, it should be summed up in just a few words!"

Just like Xiluo, Li Jingshu also found Li Boyang's penchant for giving long, stringy names extremely annoying.

After all, Xiluo doesn't need to care about Li Boyang's preferences.

The abbreviations are used to refer to the various Cultivation Method and magical Law Treasure created by Li Boyang.

But as a student, Li Jingshu had to diligently memorize and understand the meanings of those unfamiliar words.

"Can it be summarized in just a few words?"

Li Boyang thought about it seriously for a while before shaking his head with a smile.

"In that case, let's call it the Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land '!"

Now it was Li Jingshu's turn to tilt her head and think for a long time before asking, quite puzzled.

I know what "mountains and rivers" means, but what does "state and state" mean?

When she mentioned the word "state," Li Jingshu paused for a moment.

Because in this world and in this era, the term "state" has not yet been coined.

Therefore, the pronunciation of the word "Sheji" was completely created by Li Boyang based on the Chinese vocabulary of his previous life.

"She" refers to land, specifically the earth beneath our feet.

"Ji" refers to grains, referring to the grains and crops we grow--"

In summary, it means land and food, and also our home.

Before Li Jingshu could reply, Li Boyang handed her the "Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land" and then gave her some earnest instructions.

"Take this back to my parents; they know how to use it."
