Chapter 66 The Wonderful Salt Crystal

Wang Ting discussed the matter of the Yanchi until midnight. When Yu Mai walked out of the palace, she was already hungry. But she didn't care about eating and drinking water at all, so she quickly went to Yongle Hall of Linggong to report the latest situation to Ji Le.

At this moment, there was a lot of laughter and joy in Yongle's palace. Ji Le was holding a banquet to invite Feng E to visit here. Under his teasing, Feng E came over the audience and laughed constantly, leaving behind the frustration in Nanyu Mountain.

Yu Xiao walked in quietly and saw several piles of salt placed in front of Ji Le.

Ji Le asked Feng E with a smile: "Your Highness, our Xia Kingdom knows too little about the Salt Ritual Festival, so I wonder what are the precautions here?"

Feng E sipped in a small sip of osmanthus tea: "Salt Sacrifice is the saying of Xia Kingdom. In Tumu, it is called "Festival of Heavenly Father", in Duoya, "Sacred Salt Festival", and in Bado, it is called "Barkra". This is a festival that influences the entire continent, worshiping many gods headed by the gods. Over the years, because of the troubles in this sacrifice, there were dozens of countries that were destroyed by the gods."

"So serious?" Ji Le pretended to be surprised: "Then you have to ask about the taboos in this regard. But Your Highness, does the god really need something like 'salt'?"

"Salt is a cleansing substance and can drive away evil spirits. It is a good offering."

"Exorcist?" Ji Le's expression was strange.

Salt can drive away evil spirits, and this custom also existed in ancient China. What are the superstitious sayings such as "Salt and tea grains to eliminate evil spirits" and "Salt and rice to protect the house and sweep away the yin energy" and so on... These superstitious sayings are widely circulated in China. Even the surrounding countries have the custom of using salt to drive away evil spirits.

But in the age of mythology, why does this statement still exist? Is the so-called salt really magical?

Feng E walked over and moved the salt pile in front of Ji Le. She shook her head gently: "No, your quality is too poor. If you want to make a offering, the purity is not enough." As she said that, a ray of light came out of her fingertips to illuminate the salt pile. The salt grains created by magic power gradually condensed into a twelve-sided crystal the size of a mung bean. However, the crystals were turbid and grayish-white.

"Look, there are too few salt crystals that have been refined. The purity is also poor. A truly high-quality must have thirty-six sides and are crystal clear."

"This salt crystal—" Ji Le could feel some mysterious power from this salt crystal.

"The greatest use of the gods to collect clean salt is to extract this kind of salt crystal. In addition to storing divine power, this kind of thing can also be used to drive away evil spirits and purify filth. In addition, it is crystal clear and beautiful, and it is also a high-priced product among gods."

Do the gods collect salt to make salt crystals?

Ji Le took the salt crystal over and carefully sensed the power inside the salt crystal. This power was vaguely familiar to him.

"I think I've seen it somewhere?" But after thinking about it carefully, I can't remember it.

"Your Highness, can you make a few more salt crystals?" Ji Le quickly asked Feng E to refine the other two pinch of salt piles into salt crystals.

Feng E stretched out her hand again, and gently whipped her slender palm on the pile of salt. The breeze brought up the blue divine power, concentrating the pile of salt into vigilance.

However, these two crystals are not thirty-six sides. The crystal on the left has thirteen sides and eighteen sides on the right, and it is slightly larger in size and has a higher brightness.

The young man watched the whole process from the side, his eyes fixed, staring at the crystal on the left and thought: "Is there such a big difference between artificial salt and natural mining?"

The salt on the left is composed of Shi Huangshi's magical power of writing and extracting the free energy power between heaven and earth. The salt on the right is the inventory of Yongle Palace, which is refined and processed from the salt pond.

In comparison, the refined salt mined by Congyanchi is better in purified crystals.

Looking at the crystal of Shi Huang's family and the crystals that he purified himself...

Ji Le's heart moved and suddenly realized the difference between the three kinds of salt.

"I use the 'literal power' to produce salt, which is the salt on the earth as a sample. The old man used the daily salt of Xia Kingdom as a sample, which is theoretically imitated by the refined salt purified by the salt pond. Both of these are extracting wandering energy power from the world and shaping it into salt. It is a means of creation. The purified crystal is more like a condensate of the vital energy of heaven and earth. The salt in Xia Kingdom is mined and purified from the salt pond. Its higher quality means that in the salt mines nurtured by the earth, the mysterious power contains much more than the air."

"Then, what the gods want is probably not salt, but some mysterious power contained in salt?"

This mysterious substance exists in the salt pond of the earth and can be transformed with the vital energy of heaven and earth. It means that it is a special energy?

His Highness Feng E pointed to the three crystals and said, "The crystal on the far right is of good quality, but it is a little small in size. The salt gift to His Majesty must be purified at the very least. If you can't do it, then..."

God sent sin, and even Feng'e could not do anything.

"There are also the main gods and other great gods. Everyone has high requirements. If you don't prepare a warehouse of clean salt, it may not be enough for sacrifices!"

A warehouse?

The young man and Yu Fu, who was attending the audience, felt a little nervous.

Now the salt in the Xia Kingdom treasury is not enough, so where can I squeeze out so much for the gods?

"Don't worry, we have a proper sense of this matter." Ji Le responded with a smile, and after a while, someone sent someone to send Feng E away.

As soon as the goddess left, the young man immediately said: "Ji Le, depending on the situation, even if we take out all the inventory, it may not be enough!"

The number of gods is so large, and the great gods require too much cleansing salt, the Xia Kingdom cannot afford it at all!

Yu Ma: "Including the expenses over the past few days, we will only move out all the salt stored in the treasury, which will only be enough. Moreover, it may also be collected from the private sector."

After all, the Xia Kingdom cannot save too much cleansing salt, and can only be harvested by the gods year by year. According to the plan a month ago, as long as the storage in the salt pond is transported over, it should be able to survive this festival.

Ji Le turned his pen and thought, "It should be possible to use it on the top of the treasury for the time being. As for the people, we use our artificial salt. Don't worry, the essence of this salt is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it will not harm people."

"Yu Ma, come back and mobilize everyone in the Ling Palace. It is not difficult to make salt together." Ji Le finished speaking, as if he remembered something and sighed: "It's still the old man's literary luck. With this opportunity, he just promotes the whole people to learn the magical power of writing and accelerate promotion."

"Of course, this is just a last resort. The most urgent task at present is to find new sources of salt. When Xia State destroyed so many countries, there must be records left. Send people to search for information and be sure to find other salt mines nearby."

After a pause, Ji Le said again: "You have heard what Your Highness said just now. Salt crystals have another purpose. The best way is to purify them from the earth salt mine. I suspect that the disappearance of the Xia Kingdom's salt pond may be related to the gods."

Youth: "Is it a god who took action? But what are the benefits of stopping us from participating in the Salt Festival? Is it Nanyu Mountain again?"

"By the way, Your Highness, can you ask someone?" Yu Ma asked Ji Le to search for Xun An's whereabouts.

"Xun'an, Xun Ningyuan?" Ji Le closed his eyes and sensed Xun'an's whereabouts from afar.

Suddenly, he pointed his finger to the northeast: "I can feel that there are other citizens besides him. There are a lot of people, but they are all in deep sleep at present."

Finally, Ji Le suddenly stood up, as if he felt some threat, and hurriedly said, "Let Yang Ke go and save people quickly. I feel that the situation is a little bad!"
