Ouyang Shuo left the Confucian Temple and went to the Martial Temple on the other side.
The layout of the Martial Temple was similar to that of the Confucian Temple. The Martial Arts Temple worshiped the sages and masters of martial arts. Jiang Taigong was the first sage, Zhang Liang was the second sage, and behind him were the Ten Philosophers and the 72 Famous Generals.
Shi Wansui of Shanhai County was one of the 72 Famous Generals. Because of the long history of Wu Lai, there was no way to verify it. It was a pity that he had brushed past the seventy-two famous generals.
Ouyang Shuo took out the last Incense Essence Pill, and a system notification rang in his ears.
"System notification: Player Say You Have No Clothes is in possession of Incense Essence Pill, do you want to use it?"
"Use!"
With a whoosh, the Incense Essence Pills turned into streaks of white light and flew into the statue.
"System Notification: The Famous General Statue has been nourished by Incense Essence Pill. The Guanlin Temple has gained a unique property — Martial Arts (Increase the rate of the generals in the territory breaking through their bottlenecks by 30%).
The characteristics of the buildings derived from Guanlin Temples rendered Sun Tengjiao, Zhao Sihu, and a large group of generals who were stuck at the beginner level speechless. It was practically a great blessing. Ouyang Shuo looked forward to them breaking through their bottlenecks one by one.
Ouyang Shuo did not expect that the five inconspicuous incense essence pills that the King of Shang had given him would have such a magical effect. He was really emotional.
After dinner, Ouyang Shuo called all the women in the backyard together, including the maidservants Si Qin and Si Qi of the Qingying Courtyard. He first looked at Ying You and said, "You 'er, after the Finance Department has established the Industry Department, the pawnshop and the inn managed by the Finance Department will be purchased by the Hou Manor and transferred to the Hou Manor's assets." The pawnshop and the inn were all businesses that were losing money. Ouyang Shuo taking the initiative to take over them also showed the Hou Manor's magnanimity.
Although Ying You found it a little strange, it didn't matter, so she nodded her head in agreement.
In the morning's military meeting, Ouyang Shuo had vaguely criticized her. Ying You still felt a little apologetic in her heart. She was determined to properly reorganize the territory's industry. It was naturally good to be able to get rid of the two burdens of the inn and shop.
Ouyang Shuo looked at the women and continued, "As the estate of the House of the Marquis increases, the inner treasury becomes more and more full, and the number of servants also increases. The affairs of the House of the Marquis become more and more burdensome. Therefore, they had to establish rules to regulate the affairs of the House of Marquis. This Marquis has decided to establish an Internal Affairs Department to be responsible for managing the internal affairs of the Marquis Manor. "
Ouyang Shuo's suggestion naturally received unanimous approval. As the structure of Shanhai County became more and more mature, the internal structure of the Marquis's Manor, on the other hand, did not have a set of rules. Ying You had long raised this matter with Ouyang Shuo.
Ouyang Shuo looked at Song Jia and said with a smile, "The Internal Affairs Division has its own system. It manages the affairs of the Marquis Manor and has nothing to do with the officials of the Outer Court. Jiajia, you will take over the position of the Chief Steward of the Internal Affairs Division, what do you think? "
Song Jia blushed. She understood the meaning behind Ouyang Shuo's words. Letting her take charge of the Internal Affairs Division was equivalent to indirectly acknowledging Song Jia's status as the Marquis's Mansion's Mistress.
Originally, these things were only faintly discernible. Now that Ouyang Shuo had pointed it out, how could she not be embarrassed?
"Alright!" Song Jia was a magnanimous person after all.
Ouyang Shuo nodded. This was also one of the things he admired about Song Jia. She didn't act like a little girl. Once she recognized Ouyang Shuo as her husband, she wasn't afraid of others gossiping about her. "In the Internal Affairs Division, other than the Chief Steward, there is also a Manager and two Assistant Managers. Zi Su will be in charge, while Si Qin and Si Qi will be in charge. "
"Thank you, Marquis!" Zi Su and the other two knelt down to express their gratitude.
The establishment of the Eastern Fence Sword Faction was imminent. Song Jia didn't have too much energy to manage the affairs of the Marquis's Mansion. Therefore, the Manager of the Internal Affairs Division was the actual manager. Zi Su was naturally grateful to be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility.
Ban Xia, who was standing behind Song Jia, didn't know what to feel when she saw her sisters being valued by the Marquis. If she didn't choose to practice martial arts, she would also have a place in the Internal Affairs Division.
"Marquis, in a week, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. What request can Marquis have? "Taking this opportunity, Zi Su, who had just taken over, asked.
Ouyang Shuo was startled. He didn't expect that it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival already. As a traditional festival of China, the Mid-Autumn Festival was very important. Every festive season, people would miss their loved ones even more.
"I don't have any request. Just prepare according to the usual procedures." Ouyang Shuo suddenly felt a little dispirited.
"Yes!" Zi Su nodded in response.
"Everyone is dismissed!" Everyone dispersed. Ouyang Shuo returned to his room.
Ouyang Shuo sat cross-legged on the bed. He took out the Cooling Bead and placed it on his palm. He closed his eyes and calmed his mind, starting to cultivate. The inner force in his meridians began to slowly circulate according to the circulation route of the Yellow Thearch's Internal Canon.
At this moment, the Cooling Bead in his palm emitted a trace of cooling Qi that passed through his palm and into his meridians. Stimulated by the cooling Qi, the golden inner force circulated at an obvious speed.
Not only that, the restless Demonic God Bloodline in Ouyang Shuo's body also calmed down under the comfort of the cooling Qi. It no longer disturbed Ouyang Shuo's cultivation.
It had been a whole two months since he cultivated the Yellow Thearch's Internal Canon to the third level. The upper limit of the third level was 5000 points, which was five times higher than the second level.
During this period of time, Ouyang Shuo diligently studied the Dao Scripture and became more and more proficient in cultivation. The parts of the Yellow Thearch's Internal Canon that he didn't understand before gradually became clear. His understanding of the Yellow Thearch's Internal Canon became deeper.
When he first started cultivating the Yellow Thearch's Internal Canon, Ouyang Shuo completely relied on the cultivation knowledge that Gaia had forced into his mind. He copied it according to what Gaia had taught him.
As he learned more about Taoism, Ouyang Shuo tried to re-examine the Yellow Thearch's Internal Canon and gradually gained his own understanding. Naturally, his cultivation was different.
In Ouyang Shuo's Dantian, traces of golden inner force were tangled together in a disorderly manner. They swam around like a ball of hemp silk, like smoke or mist, looking very illusory.
Now, Ouyang Shuo could circulate seven times a day. Every circulation could increase his inner force by 8 points. After obtaining the Cooling Bead, his cultivation speed became even faster. He could cultivate nine circulations.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo could increase his inner force by 72 points a day. According to this cultivation speed, he could cultivate the Yellow Thearch's Internal Canon to the fourth level next month.
From the looks of it, perseverance was important on the path of cultivation. Items that could assist in cultivation were equally important. A small Cooling Bead saved Ouyang Shuo a lot of hard work.
It was a pity that such a rare treasure could only be found by chance.
Early in the morning, Ouyang Shuo got up to cultivate.
In order not to disturb Bing'er's sleep, Ouyang Shuo had already moved the cultivation area from the courtyard to an empty space in the back garden. In order to complement the Eight Extremities Fist training, he even ordered people to set up some wooden dummies in the empty space.
Ever since Song Jia arrived, there were only two people training in the back garden.
Although Song Jia was a delicate missy in reality, she had a fierce spirit in her bones. Compared to Ouyang Shuo, the manly Ouyang Shuo, his enthusiasm for cultivation was not inferior at all.
In the early morning, the back garden was filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. Stepping on the grass, one could smell the fragrance of green grass. One had to say that Gaia was really amazing. The game environment was exactly the same as reality.
The two of them greeted each other tacitly, walked to the side and began their own cultivation.
As he cultivated the Yellow Thearch's Internal Canon, his inner force began to drive his outer force. Ouyang Shuo's physical fitness was getting better day by day. Whether it was boxing or spear practice, he was getting more and more proficient.
Ouyang Shuo's advantage of having a high root bone and high comprehension was gradually showing its power during cultivation.
Whether it was the Eight Extremities Fist or the Yang family's spear, they were all improving at lightning speed. His Eight Extremities Fist had already reached the fourth level, "Familiar", while his Yang family's spear had already reached the third level, "Advanced".
Ouyang Shuo's current strength was comparable to Lin Yi's.
His only regret was that he still hadn't found a suitable spear. Holding the refined iron spear in his hand, he couldn't use it to its full potential.
Especially the spear shaft, which was made of ordinary wood without any complicated processing. It couldn't withstand Ouyang Shuo's inner force at all.
If Ouyang Shuo channeled his inner force into the refined iron spear, there would be an obvious "Creak" sound coming from the inside of the spear shaft. This proved that the inner force had damaged the wood texture and fibers inside the spear shaft.
Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to give up on channeling his inner force. He couldn't just use a spear every time he practiced.
No matter how big Shanhai County was, it couldn't withstand this kind of consumption.
After finishing his cultivation, Ouyang Shuo was covered in sweat. His clothes were soaked in sweat. He picked up the towel on the wooden rack and wiped the sweat off his face.
On the other side of the grass, Song Jia was still practicing her sword. She was very proficient with the Yue Nu Swordplay.
A cool breeze blew, and a fallen leaf on the grass was blown up by the wind. It swayed and coincidentally collided with the sword in Song Jia's hand.
The refined iron sword sliced through the air without any hindrance. It wasn't affected at all. Looking at the leaf again, it had been split into two. The cut was as smooth as a mirror. It was as if it was born with two leaves. Looking closely, there was a trace of white frost on the cut. It was the result of the Nine Yin Scripture's inner force activating.
The Nine Yin Scripture could be practiced by both men and women. Different genders would have different attributes of the inner force. Song Jia's Nine Yin Scripture had a trace of ice attribute. When practiced to the extreme, it could penetrate through the heart and bones.
Compared to the refined iron spear, the refined iron sword in Song Jia's hand could withstand much more inner force. That was why Song Jia could use it so recklessly.
"Clap clap clap!" Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but applaud. "Good swordplay!"
Song Jia sheathed her sword and smiled at Ouyang Shuo. "What do you think? My swordplay is good, right?! "
"Master Song's swordplay is superb. I'm very impressed." Ouyang Shuo praised.
"You're so talkative."
Song Jia was like a proud peacock. She giggled and drew a beautiful flower with her sword. She sheathed her sword and nodded at Ouyang Shuo. Then, she elegantly turned around and left. She really had the demeanor of a heroine.
Ouyang Shuo laughed and shook his head. He picked up his spear and returned to the backyard. Zi Su had already ordered people to prepare cold water for Ouyang Shuo to wash. (To be continued.)
