Chapter 217: Lone Peak

Early in the morning, facing the morning dew, a team of knights set off from the lord's mansion and went straight to the Qinglong Gate. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info frog horses stepped on the smooth bluestone pavement, making a crisp sound of horses' hooves.

Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia, with four guards, prepared to go to Lushui County in the east to find a suitable place to be stationed. After the second wall was built, in order to distinguish the gates, so as not to be confused. The four gates in the core area were renamed: Qinglong Gate to the east, Baihu Gate to the west, Suzaku Gate to the south, and Xuanwu Gate to the north. Ouyang Shuo and his entourage passed through the Qinglong Gate, then passed through the East District, and turned north to the East Gate.

Out of the east gate, it is the eastern suburbs wilderness. Out of strategic necessity, the weeds in the eastern suburbs have long been cleared, and there is nothing left, which is very desolate.

At the beginning of the east gate, a simple official road leads straight to the wharf of Shanhai County. Compared with the earliest Shanhai Village period, the wharf has been expanded twenty or thirty times. Since the transfer of the senior shipyard to Beihai County, the water area in front of the canyon has been completely under the jurisdiction of the dock. As for the jurisdiction of the wharf, it was assigned to the Che Ma Division. Today's Che Ma Division officially fulfills the responsibilities of the Ministry of Transport in modern society.

In the planning, the bridge connecting the base camp and the county has not yet been built, and countless stones are piled up on both sides of the wharf. Stonemasons cut the huge stones brought from the quarry on the spot, hammered them into smaller stones, and polished them into strips of stone that were used to build bridges.

Considering that the river also had to pass through warships, the design and construction of the bridge was far more complicated than the stone arch bridge in the city. According to the first draft of the design submitted by the chief designer of the bridge, the construction cost alone reached 500 gold coins.

The most difficult part of building a bridge is to erect a tire frame in the river channel to serve as a support platform. In the upper reaches of the canyon, the Friendship River and the Swimming River converge, and the water is panting and roaring towards the sea. Therefore, it is difficult to erect a tire frame in such a river channel under the ancient construction conditions.

After Ouyang Shuo checked the progress of the bridge project slightly, he did not stop and ferried to the other side through the boat at the pier. The walls of the county have been built, and from a distance, a small city rises over the plain.

Outside the city are green rice fields, and early in the morning, farmers are busy in the fields.

"Wood, what are they doing in the fields? Is it pulling out the seedlings? It's strange, isn't it just planted? Song Jia was very puzzled by the farmer's behavior.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head amusedly: "That's a farmer pulling weeds, after the seedlings are planted, weeds are easy to grow in the rice field, if the weeds are not removed in time, it will encroach on the nutrition of the seedlings and affect the grain harvest." ”

"Oh!" Song Jia smiled embarrassedly.

Ouyang Shuo did not choose to enter the county, but followed the river to the south, to the edge of the canyon, and then to the east along the mountain range. In fact, when it was determined that Song Jia was determined to build the sect outside the city, Ouyang Shuo deliberately took the time to check the "Lianzhou Kanyu Map", and he already had a clear goal.

Different from the base camp, the edge of the basin on this side of the county does not have rocky mountains, but a forest line, where the mountains and plains meet, forming a unique landscape. Walking on the meadows, from time to time you can encounter hares and other animals that emerge from the forest.

Seeing the hare, Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed to hunt, took out his bow and arrow, stretched his bow and stringed, and shot an arrow. It's a pity that with his basic archery skills, unless he is lucky, where to shoot the clever hare.

An arrow shot in the air, which made Ouyang Shuo feel very faceless, especially in front of the beauty, in annoyance and anger, he ordered the guards behind him, and when he encountered rabbits again, they all shot them all and brought them back to the lord's mansion.

Song Jia smiled on the side, wood also has areas that he is not good at.

After walking about ten kilometers to the east, Ouyang Shuo motioned for the team to stop. He pointed to a mountain peak in front of him and said to Song Jia: "How is it, do you see that mountain?" ”

Song Jia followed Ouyang Shuo's fingers and saw a group of smoke around, the mountains were undulating, and a lone peak stood proudly and extraordinary. What's even better is that Lone Peak is like being punched by an ancient giant, and only half of the upper half of the peak is left, and it suddenly narrows halfway up the mountain, forming a huge platform.

"Okay, this is it." Song Jia was overjoyed.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, "Let's go, let's go up the mountain and have a look." ”

"Hmm!" Song Jia was a little impatient.

Because it is not yet developed and inaccessible, the road up the mountain is very difficult to walk, steep and rugged. Ouyang Shuo and his entourage had to tie the green worm horse to the foot of the mountain and hike up the mountain.

The four guards held Tang knives and laboriously cleared the way in front. After walking for more than two hours before boarding the platform, not only were the four guards tired and panting, but Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia also had to run their internal strength all the way in order to eliminate fatigue.

The platform covers a huge area, as far as the eye can see, no less than ten square kilometers, which is larger than the area of Shanhai Town. A waterfall cascades down the peak, creating a pool of water at the foot of the platform, making a rumbling sound. The water overflowed from the waterhole and a meandering stream flowed on the platform, down the platform, and down again. The splash of water, under the sunlight, forms a rainbow.

Next to the waterhole, an ancient acacia is independent, and on the branches, a group of unknown birds are flying around. Seeing Ouyang Shuo and his party, they were not afraid of life, and flew up from the locust tree, hovering above their heads, chirping.

Song Jia fell in love with this place at a glance and muttered: "It's so beautiful!" ”

Ouyang Shuo took a closer look and found that there was no shortage of wood or stone in the mountains, and it was completely possible to use local materials. On the platform, there is a water source, and you can grow some vegetables and fruits by yourself in the future. As long as you send some food up the mountain on time, you can be self-sufficient. Because the player has an artifact like a storage bag, it is really easy to transport food up the mountain.

"Jiajia, you will take Xiaoyue to come again tomorrow, she is a design consultant, ask her to make an overall design plan for the sect after the on-site investigation, including how to plan the road down the mountain, there must be a unified arrangement. After you have drawn the design drawings, I will arrange for the construction department to start construction. ”

Listening to Ouyang Shuo's proper arrangement for her, Song Jia smiled gently, "Wood, you are so good!" ”

"Okay, Master Song, let's give your future sect a name!"

"That's right," Song Jia immediately became interested, "Wood, look, or call it the Rumeng Sword Sect!" ”

Ouyang Shuo fainted, and said with a wry smile: "Your name is Jia Qi Rumeng, the courtyard where you live is called Rumeng Xuan, and now even the sect you founded is called the Rumeng Sword Sect, so it seems very unlevel." ”

Song Jia made a bitter face, "Hmph, then you say, what's your name?" ”

It was difficult for Ouyang Shuo to choose a name, he groaned slightly, he already had an idea, and said with a smile: "This lonely peak is located in the east of the territory, facing Shanhai County from afar. Tao Yuanming wrote in the poem "Drinking": Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan. Why don't you call it the East Fence Sword Sect, what do you think? Ouyang Shuo is completely far-fetched, poor Tao Yuanming, if he knew that his poems were misinterpreted like this, I don't know how he would feel.

Song Jia slapped Ouyang Shuo, and said crisply: "Wood, I can't see it, you are quite talented!" Okay, if you listen to you, it's called the East Fence Sword Sect. ”

Near noon, Ouyang Shuo and his entourage simply dined on the mountain. The guards will bring the hares, go to the waterhole to clean up, and then find dry firewood, and directly come to a wild barbecue.

In Ouyang Shuo's previous life, as an adventure player, he often spent the night in the wild, and eating hares was commonplace, and he was very proud in front of Song Jia, revealing his barbecue skills, and roasting the hare was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

Eating the delicious hare, Song Jia was full of praise, and the four guards also followed. After eating, Ouyang Shuo and his party did not stay any longer and immediately went down the mountain.

Back at the Lord's Palace, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

After two days of publicity, people have come to the lord's mansion one after another to sign up, ready to learn from the teacher. Shiso registered them one by one, and said that on the morning of September 1, he would come to the lord's mansion to participate in the final selection.

At dinner in the evening, Yingyu mentioned one thing: "Big brother, the second baby told me that he wants to learn art from a teacher and doesn't want to go to a private school anymore; You keep begging me to intercede with you, what do you think? ”

The second baby was taken by Ouyang Shuo at first, and later Ouyang Shuo was busy with affairs, so he was handed over to Yingyu to be responsible for discipline. Since going to private school, Yingyu is responsible for all the meals.

But in the final analysis, Erwazi is still a member of the Lord's Mansion, and when the household registration was demarcated, it was Ouyang Shuo who personally made the decision, so that Erwazi was not classified as a herdsman, but left the household registration in the Lord's Mansion. Now that the second child wants to abandon literature and martial arts, he naturally has to obtain the consent of Ouyang Shuo, the lord of the lord's mansion.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, it seems that the second child's private school for half a year has not been in vain, at least he has begun to understand some principles of how to behave in the world, and he knows that he needs to be consulted. Speaking of which, this kid is still an old man in the Lord's Mansion.

Ouyang Shuo is also a nostalgic person, and said to Yingyu: "Since it is his own will, I will naturally not obstruct him, let him worship under Jiajia's sect and be a personal disciple." Ouyang Shuo said and looked at Song Jia and asked for her opinion. Song Jia nodded, of course she had to meet Ouyang Shuo's request.

Hearing Ouyang Shuo's promise, Banxia, who was standing next to him, had a trace of inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes.

Yingyu has always treated the second baby as her own brother, and when she heard Ouyang Shuo arrange it like this, she was naturally extremely satisfied. Although she is not a person in the martial arts, she still knows the difference between a personal disciple and a registered disciple. Personally passed on to the disciples, that is the existence that can inherit the mantle, and the selection is extremely strict.

Ouyang Shuo continued: "This child is also our relative, since he is sensible, he can't call the second baby like this, we have to give him a proper name." Yingyu, your sister and brother have a deep affection, just let him take your surname, and you will give him a name. ”

"Yes." Yingyu nodded in response. (To be continued.) )
