After Li Qinghe tidied up his residence, he left Taiyang Academy and hired a creator's carriage. He arrived at a village 20 li northeast of Auspicious Light City, near the Hong River.
This was one of the Xu People's villages. There were more than a dozen villages here, and there were about 10,000 people. Most of them hunted and farmed for a living.
The Xu People were the tribe that had received the deepest Tianxia culture, but at the same time, they maintained their own tribe's inheritance. The main reason was that they didn't want to equate themselves with the Tianxia people. They only saw themselves as a slave race of the Tianxia people.
After Li Qing He entered the village in a carriage, he saw that the roads here were clean and tidy. The main roads were paved with stone slabs. In front of every house, there was a small courtyard planted with various vegetables and fruits. Outside the corridor made of green bamboo, strings of small lanterns were hung.
He stopped in front of a house and paid the fare. At this time, a sixteen-year-old Xu People girl came out with a cat in her arms. She seemed to have noticed the movement outside, so she came out to take a look. After seeing him, she was startled at first, then she hesitated and said, "Is it … Brother Li He?"
Li Qinghe smiled, "Yes, it's me."
The girl's gray eyes revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. She turned around and shouted, "Father, Brother Li He is back."
A series of footsteps rushed out from inside. A middle-aged man in his forties ran to the door. He looked up at Li Qinghe and said with joy, "Li He?"
Li Qinghe smiled and bowed, "Uncle, it's me, but I'm now called Li Qinghe."
The middle-aged man patted his head and said, "Yes, yes. You said in your letter that you were given this name by Tianxia's main family, so you can't be mistaken." He looked envious as he spoke.
The Xu Ren viewed Tianxia as the god's son and was proud to serve him. Unfortunately, not every Xu Ren had this qualification. Every Xu Ren that could serve Tianxia had to be approved by the elders in their tribe. Sometimes, they even had to go through a divination process. He failed to pass the elder's test when he was young.
At this time, she couldn't help looking at Li Qinghe again. She stepped forward and pinched the latter's strong arm, sighing, "I haven't seen you for ten years, but you haven't changed at all. You look just like when you left, but your spirit is different. It's different now. "
He tried to ask again, "Did you come back with the main family this time?"
Li Qing He nodded and said, "Yes, Sir allowed me to come back to visit. I also brought some things for Uncle and Xiao Miao."
The middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat. He said, "Don't just stand here. Let's talk inside." He pulled Li Qinghe into the house and asked the girl to bring a wooden stool over. He sat down in the yard and then asked, "Ah He … when you go back this time, can you take Xiao Miao with you?"
In the main hall of the Eastern Court Profound Palace, Mo Gong opened the second blueprint. Similarly, a light curtain shone in front of them and a majestic city appeared. However, this time, when everyone in the hall looked at it, they felt that it was very familiar.
Mo Gong said, "Auspicious Light is very close to the port and surrounded by Qi Mountain. It is also in the middle reaches of the Hong River. The terrain can be said to be very good. The second location is still here in Auspicious Light City. But if the mansion is to be transformed into a continent, this place must be expanded.
This junior intends to build a mother-son city here. A large city will be built on the periphery of Qi Mountain as the mother-son city, and the original Auspicious Light City will be a subsidiary city connected to the port. "
Everyone looked at it and nodded unconsciously.
To the east of the auspicious light, outside of Mount Qi, there was an incomparably vast plain. Until it was blocked by the distant Mount An, it was a large unobstructed boundary. This kind of terrain was enough to deal with an ordinary enemy, but to deal with an enemy who possessed a mystical power, it was beyond its power.
On the light screen, the mother-son city and the mother-son city had their backs against Mount Qi. The mother-son city stretched out two semi-arc-shaped city walls in the north and south direction, like wings, shielding the original auspicious light behind them, while the mother-son city faced the vast wilderness, giving people an incomparably thick and stable feeling.
Mo Gong said, "With this adjustment, Xuanfu doesn't need to change its position. When I was investigating the geography, I saw a large hole under Auspicious Light City. I heard that there was a body of An Shen buried there. I can expand there again and build the Xuanfu palace here. It will be connected with Qi Mountain and the mother-son city."
With that, he stretched out his hand and stroked the scroll. It could be seen that under the mother-son city, in the space that was almost the size of the entire city, another large-scale fortress-like building appeared.
Not only that, it could be seen that there was an underground passage extending around the building. The disciples who couldn't fly could also go to any boundary of the Protectorate. It could be imagined that with the expansion of the Protectorate, there would be more and more connecting passages.
Xiang Chun looked behind him and saw that Fan Lan and Qi Wu were watching intently, and the eyes of the rest of the disciples were full of yearning. Obviously, this picture was very much in line with everyone's wishes.
In fact, he himself was also satisfied with this, but in the end, it depended on what Zhang Yu, the Mystery Chief, thought. If the Mystery Chief didn't approve, then no matter how good the plan looked on the surface, it would be useless.
Just like the previous scroll, Zhang Yu didn't express any opinions on this. He said, "I wonder where the last one is chosen?"
This time, Mo Gong didn't take it from the disciples. Instead, he directly took out the scroll from his own Star Bag and slowly opened it.
As the light curtain shone, the scenery inside attracted the attention of everyone present. Some people couldn't help but take half a step forward. It couldn't be helped, because this city was really too grand.
This large city was built on a large platform. This platform was so tall that it could be called a divine palace. Even the Mount An mountain range lying across the Great Plains only reached half of its waist. And this place was undoubtedly built on the side of Mount An. Therefore, looking at it this way, Mount An looked like a dam under the city.
Moreover, above the Mount An mountain range, there was an endless stretch of large and small city platforms, as well as densely packed airship berths. It could be said that this boundary encompassed the entire Mount An, becoming a defensive fortification that stretched across the land.
This was a city in the clouds that towered above all the other mountain ranges. The distant Mount Qigis, also known as the Mountain of the Goddess, seemed to be nothing more than a tall tower in the middle of the city. The grandeur of the city and the grandeur of its layout were truly breathtaking.
Xu Ying stood at the back and said with incomparable shock, "This is encircling the entire Mount An in the city. This, this can be built?"
Mo Gong cast a glance at him and said, "This Dao Friend needs to believe in the ability of Tianxia. Moving mountains and filling seas is not a difficult matter for me. If you don't have the courage to change the world, how can you dare to call yourself a person of Tianxia? This Dao Friend, your vision is too small. "
Xu Ying resentfully said, "The cost was also careless, right?"
Mo Gong said, "This construction will be borne by the capital of Xuanting and Yujing, so Dao Friend doesn't need to worry about the prefectures not being able to bear it." While speaking, he also turned his head to look at Zhang Yu, as if he was looking forward to the latter's choice.
Zhang Yu looked at the picture and also began to ponder. If this city was completed, its scale would undoubtedly be larger than the two cities shown in the previous two scrolls combined.
It could be seen that the creator wanted to build a large platform similar to the original Shangtai of Yujing.
The three scrolls actually expressed three different concepts.
The construction of the city on the sea leaned towards the conservative side. It mainly operated sea trade and monitored the land. In the event of danger, the people and civilians could evacuate at any time.
The expansion of Auspicious Light City was not biased. It improved on the original foundation, but the changes were not big. It sought to firmly defend the original territory, and then cautiously face the changes on the other side of Mount An.
However, the last one was to cross Mount An, leaving the mountain range that ran through the land behind, and directly advance into the depths of the land.
This was to put oneself on the front line to resist the danger in the east, and make a posture of going all out to advance.
Why was the scale of this city so large? Because only such a large city could bear the function of both defense and attack at the same time.
He somewhat appreciated the last choice.
Attack was the best defense. It should be known that until now, there were indigenous tribes constantly migrating from the inland, and most of them relied on the divine power of the priests and descendants to barbarically attack and plunder the Honghe Pass. It was not until they were taught a lesson that they became obedient.
Almost all of these tribes had prophecies and legends that an existence was awakening, which made him think of the sleeping giant.
However, this was an unknown land, and the inside was incomparably vast. The threat was not limited to this, especially when his teacher moved here at the beginning. There seemed to be something involved here, so he absolutely could not be careless.
After thinking, he said, "Mo Gong, put away the scroll first."
Mo Gong was somewhat disappointed that he did not immediately make a decision, but he did not say anything, rolling up the scroll and putting it into his sleeve.
Zhang Yu's gaze focused at this time, and in a split second, he condensed three more scrolls with his mind light. He moved them to Xiang Chun, saying, "I've already written my comments on them. Senior Brother Xiang can give these scrolls to the prefectural governor. When the new governor arrives, let him take a look."
Xiang Chun hurriedly received them, saying, "This subordinate obeys."
Mo Gong cupped his hands, saying, "Since Zhang Shouzheng has already seen them, you can call this junior when you decide on a strategy."
Zhang Yu nodded, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."
Mo Gong bowed again, then left with his disciple.
After he left, Zhang Yu ordered Xiang Chun to find Xuanfu's main cultivators here, and asked in detail about the current situation inside and outside Xuanfu.
After some understanding, he said, "Xuanting will soon send a group of fellow cultivators here, including the new governor."
He looked at Xiang Chun, saying, "Senior Brother Xiang, before the other fellow cultivators arrive, I will be going inland to patrol for a few days. The matters of the prefecture will continue as usual, and you will be in charge of the affairs here. " He then said to the cultivators present, "When the foreign fellow cultivators arrive, I will consider assigning everyone's duties."
Xiang Chun respectfully said, "Yes, Head Xuan." The other cultivators present also bowed.
After giving his instructions, Zhang Yu stood up, and then a clear light was released from his body. Everyone felt their vision suddenly flicker, and his figure disappeared from the hall.
