After Li Qinghe tidied up his residence, he left Taiyang Academy, hired a chariot and horse, and arrived at a village twenty miles northeast of Ruiguang City, by the Hong River.
This is one of the Xuren villages. There are more than ten villages here, with a total population of about tens of thousands of people. Most of them make a living by hunting and cultivating the land.
The Xu people are also the tribe that has accepted the Tianxia culture the most, but at the same time they have maintained the inheritance of their own tribe. The main reason is that they are unwilling to equate themselves with the Tianxia people, and only regard themselves as a slave race of the Tianxia people.
After Li Qinghe rode a carriage into the village, he saw that the roads here were neat and clean, and the main roads were paved with stone slabs. In front of every house, there was a small courtyard where various fruits and vegetables were planted. Outside the corridors built with green bamboo, hanging
with a string of small lanterns.
He stopped in front of a house, got out of the car and paid the fare. At this time, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was walking out of the house holding a tabby cat. She seemed to be aware of the movement outside, so she came out to take a look.
, after seeing him, he was startled at first, and then hesitantly said: "Is it...brother Lihe?"
Li Qinghe smiled and said: "Yes, it's me."
The girl's gray eyes showed a look of surprise, and she turned around and shouted into the room: "Dad, it's Brother Lihe who's back."
A burst of footsteps rushed out from inside, and a middle-aged man in his forties ran outside the door. He looked up at Li Qinghe and said happily: "Li He?"
Li Qinghe smiled, bowed and said, "Uncle, it's me, but my name is Li Qinghe now."
The middle-aged man patted his head and said: "Yes, you said in your letter that it was Master Tianxia who gave you the name. There can be no mistake." As he spoke, he showed a look of envy.
.
Xu people regard Tianxia people as the sons of gods on earth and are proud to serve Tianxia people. Unfortunately, not every Xu people have this qualification. Every Xu people who can follow Tianxia people must obtain the consent of the elders of the clan.
Sometimes he still needs to go through divination. When he was young, he failed to pass the elder level.
At this time, he couldn't help but look at Li Qinghe, stepped forward and squeezed the latter's strong arm, and sighed: "I haven't seen you for ten years, and you are still the same as before. You look just like when I left, but
The energy and spirit are different. They are different after all.”
He tried to ask again: "Did you come back with the master's family this time?"
Li Qinghe nodded and said, "Yes, Sir, you allowed me to come back to visit my relatives. I also brought some things to my uncle and Xiaomiao."
The middle-aged man's heart moved slightly at this time and said: "Don't stand here, it's said inside." He pulled Li Qinghe into the house, and asked the girl to bring a wooden stool over, and sat down in the yard.
Then he tried to ask: "Ahe... this time when you go back, can you take Xiaomiao with you?"
Above the main hall of Dongting Xuan Mansion, Mo Gong opened the second drawing. The same curtain of light shone in front, and a majestic city appeared there. But this time, everyone in the hall felt that it looked very familiar.
.
Mo Gong said: "Ruiguang is very close to the port, surrounded by Qishan, and is still in the middle reaches of the Hong River. The terrain is very good. This second site is still located here in Ruiguang City, but Ruohua Mansion is
Continent, it must be expanded here.
The younger generation plans to build a mother-child city here, and build a large city outside Qishan as the mother city, while the original Ruiguang City will be used as an annex to the child-city connected to the port."
Everyone looked at it and nodded unconsciously.
To the east of Ruiguang, beyond Qishan, is a vast plain. Until it is blocked by Anshan Mountain in the distance, it is a large area of unobstructed land. This kind of terrain is enough to deal with ordinary enemies, but
It is unable to deal with enemies with supernatural powers.
What is shown above the light curtain is that the mother city and mother city are backed by Qishan. The mother city stretches out two semi-arc-shaped city edges in the north and south directions, like wings, shielding the original aura behind it, while itself.
Facing the vast wilderness, it gives people an extremely solid sense of stability.
Mo Gong said: "With this adjustment, Xuan Palace does not need to change its location. When I surveyed the geography, I saw that there was a larger cavity underground in Ruiguang City. I heard that there was an Anshen body buried there. I can expand there and expand it.
The Xuanfu Palace was built here and is integrated with Qishan Mountain and the Mother City."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and touched the scroll. It could be seen that under the Mother City, in a space that was almost the same size as the entire city, another huge fortress-like building appeared.
Not only that, it can be seen that there are underground paths extending out around the building. Disciples who cannot fly can also go to any part of the Duhu Mansion from here. It is conceivable that with the expansion of the Duhu Mansion, the connected
There will also be relatively more and more Chidao.
Xiang Chun looked behind him sideways and saw Fan Lan and Qi Wu watching intently, while the eyes of the other disciples were also full of yearning. It was obvious that this scene was in line with everyone's wishes.
In fact, he himself agrees with this, but in the end it depends on what Zhang Yu, the Xuanshou, thinks. If Xuanshou does not agree, then it will be useless no matter how good the strategy seems on the surface.
Just like the previous picture, Zhang Yu also did not express any opinion on this. He said: "I wonder where the last picture was chosen?"
This time, Mo Gong did not accept it from his disciple, but directly took out the scroll from his star bag, and slowly opened it.
As the light curtain came out, the scenery inside suddenly attracted the attention of everyone present. Some people unconsciously took half a step forward. Without them, this city was really too majestic.
This big city is built on a large platform. The height of this platform can be called a huge palace. Even the Anshan Mountains lying on the great plain only reach half of it.
The place is undoubtedly built on the side of Anshan, so looking at it this way, Anshan seems to be just a dam-like city siege under the city.
And on the Anshan Mountains, there are endless large and small city towers and densely packed flying boat platforms. It can be said that this boundary encompasses the entire Anshan Mountains and has become a defense line that runs through the land.
fortifications.
This is a city in the clouds that is higher than all the mountains. The Chigris Peak in the distance, also known as the Goddess Peak, seems to be just a high tower in the city. Its grandeur and majestic layout are truly breathtaking.
.
Xu Ying stood behind and said in shock: "This is to enclose the entire Anshan in the city. Can this be built?"
Mo Gong glanced at him and said: "This fellow Taoist must believe in my ability in Tianxia. It is not difficult for me to move mountains and reclaim seas. If I don't have the courage to change the world, how can I dare to call myself a Tianxia person?"
Fellow Taoist, you have too little ambition."
Xu Ying said angrily: "Isn't it careless in spending?"
Mo Gong said: "More than 80% of the cost of this construction will be borne by the capitals of Xuanting and Yujing, so fellow Taoists don't have to worry about Fuzhou not being able to afford it." As he spoke, he also turned to look at Zhang Yu, as if he was looking forward to it.
The latter option.
Zhang Yu looked at the picture and began to think about it. If this city was built, its scale would undoubtedly be larger than the cities shown in the previous two scrolls combined.
It can be seen that the builder wanted to build a large platform similar to Yujingyuan Shangtai.
The three pictures actually express three different concepts.
The construction of cities on the sea tends to be conservative, focusing on operating maritime trade and monitoring and guarding the land. In the event of danger, the military and civilians can evacuate at any time.
The expansion of Ruiguang City was impartial, improving on the original basis, but not changing much. Instead, it sought to stick to the original territory and then cautiously face the changes on the other side of Anshan.
But the last one crossed the Anshan Mountains, leaving behind the mountain range that runs through the land, and advanced directly into the depths of the interior.
This is to position yourself on the front line against the dangers to the east and adopt a posture of all-out aggressiveness.
Why is this city so huge? Because only such a huge city can carry out the functions of defense and offense at the same time.
He did somewhat appreciate the last choice.
Attack is the best defense. You must know that until now, indigenous tribes have been migrating out of the interior every year, and most of them relied on the magical power of sacrifices and gods to attack the Honghe Pass savagely.
He launched attacks and plunders, and only became more honest after being taught a lesson.
Almost all of these tribes had prophecies and legends about a being waking up, which made him think of the sleeping giant.
However, this is an unknown land, which is extremely vast, and the threats are more than that. Especially when his teacher was walking here, there seemed to be something vaguely involved here, so he must not be careless.
After thinking about it, he said: "Mo Dao Cultivator, please put the scrolls away first."
Seeing that he didn't make a decision immediately, Mo Gong was a little disappointed, but he didn't say anything and rolled up the picture scroll and put it in his sleeve.
Zhang Yu's eyes focused at this moment, and he reassembled the three picture scrolls with his heart's light. He moved them to Xiang Chun and said: "I have written comments on them. Senior Brother Xiang can take these picture scrolls."
Leave it to Fuzhou and let the new Zhou Mu take a look at it after he takes office."
Xiang Chun quickly took it and said: "I obey my orders."
Mo Gong made a sign and said: "Since Zhang Shouzheng has already seen it, we can decide on the strategy and call the junior again."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Thank you."
Mo Gong bowed again and led his disciples out.
After Zhang Yu waited for him to leave, he ordered Xiang Chun to find the monks who were mainly here in Xuanfu and inquire in detail about the internal and external conditions of Xuanfu, the current Protectorate.
After some understanding, he said: "Xuan Ting will send a group of colleagues here soon, including the new Xuan Zheng."
He looked at Xiang Chun and said: "Senior Brother Xiang, before many comrades arrive, I will go to the inland for inspections in the next few days. Everything in the mansion will remain as usual. You will be in charge of the affairs here first." He also said to those present.
All cultivators said: "After the foreign colleagues arrive, I will consider and arrange your duties."
Xiang Chun said respectfully: "Yes, Xuan Shou." All the cultivators present also bowed.
After Zhang Yu explained, he stood up, and then a clear light was released from outside his body. Everyone felt that their eyes suddenly dimmed, and his figure disappeared in the hall.
