Chapter 217 Lone Peak

In the early morning, facing the morning dew, a group of knights set off from the lord's mansion and headed straight for Qinglongmen. The green clam horses stepped on the smooth bluestone road, making a crisp sound of hooves.

Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia, with four personal guards, were going to Yushui County to the east to find a suitable place for the sect. After the second city wall was built, in order to distinguish the city gates, so as not to be confused. The four city gates in the core area were renamed, Qinglong Gate in the east, Baihu Gate in the west, Suzaku Gate in the south and Xuanwu Gate in the north. Ouyang Shuo and his party passed through the Qinglong Gate, passed through the East District, and turned north to the East Gate.

After leaving the east gate, it is the wilderness of the eastern suburbs. Due to strategic needs, the weeds in the eastern suburbs have long been cleared away, leaving a bare area with nothing, very desolate.

From the east gate, a simple official road leads straight to the Shanhai County Wharf. Compared with the earliest period of Shanhai Village, the wharf has been expanded by 20 or 30 times. Since the advanced shipyard was transferred to Beihai County, the waters in front of the canyon have all been included in the jurisdiction of the dock. As for the jurisdiction of the wharf, it was assigned to the Chariot and Horse Division. Today's Chariot and Horse Division officially fulfills the duties of the Ministry of Transport in modern society.

In the plan, the bridge between China Unicom Base Camp and Yushui County has not yet been built, and countless stones are piled up on both sides of the pier. The masons cut the huge stone blocks brought in from the quarry on the spot, knocked them into smaller stone blocks, and then polished them into stone strips one by one, which were used as materials for building bridges.

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

The most difficult part of building a bridge is to set up tire frames in the river as a supporting platform. In the upper reaches of the canyon, the Friendship River and the Swimming River converge, and the water rushes toward the sea with a roar. Therefore, it is conceivable that it is difficult to build a tire frame in such a river based on the ancient construction conditions.

After Ouyang Shuo briefly checked the progress of the bridge project, he didn't stop and passed the boats at the pier to ferry to the other side. The city wall of Yushui County has been built. From a distance, a small city stands on the plain.

Outside the city are patches of green paddy fields, early in the morning, there are farmers busy in the fields.

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

Ouyang Shuo shook his head amusedly: "The farmers are weeding. After the seedlings are planted, weeds are easy to grow in the paddy 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 shyly.

Ouyang Shuo did not choose to enter Yushui County, but went south along the river, walked to the edge of the canyon, and then walked east along the mountains. In fact, after confirming that Song Jia was determined to establish the sect outside the city, Ouyang Shuo deliberately took the time to check the "Lianzhou Kanyu Map", and he already had a clear goal.

Unlike the base camp, there are no rocky mountains on the edge of the basin in Yushui County, but a tree line, where the mountains and plains meet, forming a unique landscape. Walking on the grass, from time to time, you can encounter animals such as hares, rushing out of the forest.

Seeing the hare, Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed when he saw the hunting heart, took out his bow and arrow, stretched the bow and strung the string, and shot it away. Unfortunately, with his basic archery skills, unless he was lucky, he couldn't hit the clever hare.

Ouyang Shuo felt very humiliated when he shot an arrow in the air, especially in front of a beautiful woman. He became angry from embarrassment and ordered the guards behind him to shoot and kill all rabbits and bring them back to the lord's mansion.

Song Jia was sleeping on the side with a straight smile, and Mu Mu also had areas where he was not good at.

After walking about ten kilometers to the east, Ouyang Shuo signaled the team to stop. He pointed to a mountain in front, and said to Song Jia: "How about it, do you want to see that mountain?"

Song Jia looked along Ouyang Shuo's fingers, and saw a group of smoke surrounded by mountains, a lone peak standing proudly, extraordinary. What's even better is that the isolated peak seems to have been punched by an ancient giant. Only half of the upper half of the mountain remains, and it suddenly narrows halfway up the mountain, forming a huge platform.

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

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

"Yeah!" Song Jia couldn't wait.

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

Four personal guards held Tang swords and struggled to open the way ahead. After walking for more than two hours, they finally boarded the platform. Not only were the four bodyguards out of breath, but Ouyang Shuo and Song Jia also had to use their internal strength all the way to relieve their fatigue.

The platform occupies a huge area. Looking around, it is no less than ten square kilometers, which is larger than the area of ​​Shanhai Town. A waterfall flew straight down the peak, forming a pool of water at the foot of the platform, making a rumbling sound. The water overflowed from the pool, and a winding creek flowed on the platform, along the platform, and flew down again. Splashes of water, under the sunlight, form a rainbow.

Next to the water pool, an ancient locust tree stands alone, and on the branch, a group of unknown birds are flying around. Seeing Ouyang Shuo and his party, they were not afraid of life, they flew up from the locust tree, circled above their heads, chirping.

Song Jia fell in love with this place immediately, and murmured: "It's so beautiful!"

Ouyang Shuo took a closer look, and found that there is no shortage of wood or stone in the mountains, and materials can be obtained locally. On the platform, there is already a water source, and some vegetables and fruits can be grown by themselves in the future. As long as some food is sent up the mountain on time, they 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, bring Xiaoyue back tomorrow, she is a design consultant, ask her to make a general design plan for the sect after the on-site survey, including how to plan the road down the mountain, there must be a unified arrangement .After you draw up 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 softly, "Mu Mu, you are so kind!"

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

"That's right," Song Jia immediately became interested, "Look, Mumu, why not call it the Rumeng Sword School!"

Ouyang Shuo fainted, and said with a wry smile, "Your name is Jiaqi Rumeng, and the courtyard you live in is called Rumengxuan. Now even the sect you founded is also called Rumeng Sword Sect. This seems very unprofessional."

Song Jia made a bitter face, "Hmph, tell me, what's your name?"

Ouyang Shuo couldn't help choosing a name. After pondering for a while, he had an idea, and said with a smile, "This lone peak is located in the east of the territory, facing Shanhai County far away. Tao Yuanming wrote in the poem "Drinking Wine": Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and seeing Nanshan leisurely. How about calling it the Eastern Fence Sword School, what do you think?" Ouyang Shuo is completely farfetched, poor Tao Yuanming, if he knows that his poems have been misinterpreted like this, what will he do? impressions.

Song Jia thumped Ouyang Shuo, and said crisply: "Wu Mu, I can't tell, you're quite talented! Well, I'll call you the Dongli Sword Sect."

Near noon, Ouyang Shuo and his party simply ate on the mountain. The guards took the hares they had caught and cleaned them up by the pool, and then found dry firewood, and went directly to a wild barbecue.

In his previous life, as an adventure player, Ouyang Shuo often spent the night in the wild. Eating hares was commonplace. He proudly showed off his barbecue skills in front of Song Jia.

After eating the delicious hare, Song Jia was full of praise, and the four guards followed suit. After eating, Ouyang Shuo and his party went down the mountain without stopping.

Back to the Lord's Mansion, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

After two days of publicity, people have come to the lord's mansion to sign up one after another, preparing to learn from a teacher. Zisu registered them one by one, and said that she would come to the Lord's Mansion to participate in the final selection on the morning of September 1st.

During dinner at night, Yingyou mentioned something: "Brother, Erwazi told me that he wants to learn art from a teacher, and he doesn't want to go to a private school anymore; he keeps begging me to intercede with you, what do you think?"

Erwazi was brought by Ouyang Shuo's side at first, but later Ouyang Shuo was busy with affairs, so Yingyou was in charge of discipline. Since entering the private school, Yingyou has been responsible for all the meals.

But in the final analysis, Erwazi is still a member of the Lord's Mansion. When the household registration was registered, it was Ouyang Shuo who personally made the decision, so that Erwazi was not classified as a herdsman, but kept the household registration in the Lord's Mansion. Now that Erwazi wants to abandon literature and pursue martial arts, he naturally needs the consent of Ouyang Shuo, the master of the lord's mansion.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, it seems that Er Wazi's private school for half a year was not in vain, at least he started to understand some principles of life, and knew to ask him for instructions. Speaking of which, this kid is still an old man in the Lord's Mansion.

Ouyang Shuo is also a nostalgic person, and he said to Yingyou: "Since it is his own wish, I will naturally not obstruct it, let him join Jiajia's sect and become a personal disciple." Ouyang Shuo said and looked at it. Ask Song Jia for her opinion. Song Jia nodded, of course she would satisfy Ouyang Shuo's request.

Hearing Ouyang Shuo's agreement, Ban Xia, who was standing beside him, had an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

Yingyou has always treated Erwazi as her own younger brother, so she was very satisfied with Ouyang Shuo's arrangement. Although she is not from the martial arts world, she still knows the difference between direct disciples and named disciples. A direct disciple is an existence that can inherit the mantle, and the selection is extremely strict.

Ouyang Shuo went on to say: "This child is also our relative. Since he is sensible, he can no longer be called Erwazi Erwazi. We have to give him a proper name. Yingyou and your siblings are very affectionate, so let He takes your surname, and you can give him a name."

"En." Yingyou nodded in response.
