The third time, dreaming back to the Great Song Dynasty (11) - non-attacking ink gate
☆☆☆
Chris feels that Bianliang City is the "Venice of the East", and water transportation plays a very important role in the city's life. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Chen Yaozuo introduced the water of the Jinshui River into the garden, the houses were all built according to the water, and a small wharf was also built in the back garden, in which a painting boat was parked, and it was very convenient to travel by boat on weekdays. The small pier at the Chen family's house inspired Chris, so she decided to make a replica and use a waterway to connect her garden.
When she saw the second garden, she fell in love with it. In other words, Zhang Ruoshui originally left the best option to the end, and the title deed of this land was in the hands of Wufotang.
This is already in the suburbs, and the location is farther away than the old house of the Chen family, between the old sour jujube gate and the new sour jujube gate. Chris was very strange at first, although he said that he had left the outer city, but he was also on the edge of the imperial city, why was there no building nearby? Later, she learned that the entire north of Bianliang City was relatively empty. From the inside of the palace, a large area of land to the north of the royal palace was vacant for the future emperor to expand the imperial city. Looking at the outer city, outside the Jinglong Gate in the north, a large area of feng shui treasures is reserved for the royal descendants. Gao Taotao's second son Zhao Hao chose to open the mansion outside Tianbo Gate when he became an adult, and the area adjacent to his house had already been planned, which was reserved for his younger son Zhao Hao to build a mansion in the future.
The vacant land that Zhang Ruoshui took Chris to see was adjacent to the future residence of the prince Zhao Hao, and there was no one around. She calculated the age of the imperial pharmacist, and was happy in her heart, it would be several years before that stinky boy became an adult and opened the mansion. This garden is surrounded by royal enclosures, and even rich merchants and nobles have no chance to buy it no matter how much money they pay, let alone idle people waiting to approach, which is exactly what Chris wants.
What surprised Chris even more was that the garden was sandwiched between the two main channels of Bianliang, the Jinshui River and the Wuzhang River, and a small wharf could be built by the river to facilitate the transportation of building materials, and in the future, a north-south waterway would be built to connect the two rivers, and it would be very convenient to enter and exit and transport.
The pier was soon built. In the past few days, timber, stone and other construction materials for the construction of the mansion have been brought in along the two rivers.
The lookout platform at her feet was improvised. Looking up at the clear moon in the night sky, Chris looked down at the manor. The lampposts are like streetlights on the side of a modern street, winding from the pier in the distance to the construction site at your feet. At this time, the lamppost was lit up with blue lights, reflecting the people and vehicles passing through. It was a circle of blue flames, exactly the same as the blue flames in the stone lampposts she had seen on Scorpion Island. The lamps made by Mo Dai out of blue secret stones are very bright and can shine at a long distance. It also has the advantage that it also burns for a long time.
Every evening, as long as the blue lights are on, a group of "men in black" will appear on time. According to Mo Dai's instructions, these Mo disciples are in full swing to build a dungeon, and they will not see them during the day and will only come out at night.
These days, Chris has been watching them. They don't say a word when they work, and occasionally do some actions, like a pre-negotiated code, and a certain action corresponds to the relative work. They are in small groups of several people, dozens of people in large groups, all of them work neatly, never make unnecessary noises, and their footsteps are also very soft, probably knowing some martial arts.
At this time, there happened to be two disciples of the Mo family who followed the cart carrying the wood and passed under the high platform where Chris was, which was also Mo Dai's masterpiece. The cart is made of wood as a whole, only the axle and some connections are metal, it requires almost no manpower, and can be operated by two people, one of whom controls the direction, and one person controls the start and brake. Chris guessed that the principle of the cart should be the same as that of the "flying on the grass" that he had driven, and there must be a device similar to the "autonomous running wheel of the guinea pig" inside the body. The "rat power" emitted by the nine groups of twenty-seven blue mice can drive the "grass flying" to carry more than a dozen people on the water, which shows how amazing the power of the blue secret stone is.
She was a little curious, what kind of animal was used in the cart for flying on the grass, and what kind of animal was used in the cart?
There is a huge construction site, and the sound of dismantling things, moving things, and turning wheels...... But you can't hear their voices, this group of people is like a group of small black spiders lurking with bated breath, working quickly and efficiently without you noticing. At dawn, all that came into view was the wheel prints left on the land by the cart, and the traces of the circle were like a huge spider's web.
Before seeing these staggering and well-trained Mo family disciples, Chris had no concept of the "Mo family giant" in Teng Chuliang's mouth.
She had heard of Mozi and knew that he was a great thinker of the same period as Socrates in ancient Greece, who advocated "both love and non-aggression." However, at this time, she realized what a huge amount of power the Momen, a tight organization that had lasted for more than 2,000 years! They were skilled in the mechanical arts, and their skills were extraordinary, and these techniques had been passed down from generation to generation. The head of the Mo family is called the "giant", and this generation of the Mo family giant is Mo Dai.
Chris heard the sound of ropes grinding behind him, and a small elevator slowly climbed up from the side of the platform. This elevator is human, similar to the one seen in the Shadowless Pavilion of the Emerald Palace, but on a much smaller scale. Under the high platform, there is a rotating shaft, as long as one person rotates it, you can control the elevator up and down.
The elevator door opened, and a woman walked out slowly.
Mo Dai is thin and petite, slightly more than 1.5 meters tall, she is a stunning beauty with beautiful features, although she looks very young, Chris knows that she is over forty years old. She always wears a black robe, which symbolizes the strict discipline of the "Mo family".
In a trance, Chris remembered Zhou Jia. The two are similar in size and much younger than their actual age. The rigorous temperament on the body is also very similar, and the same sharp eyes. However, compared to Zhou Jia, Mo Dai likes to laugh more. Or Mo Dai is like Zhou Jia in the past, Zhou Jia at that time often smiled, but since she came to Lancer, Chris doesn't seem to have seen her smile in his impression, even once.
Chris smiled at her, as if he was facing Zhou Jia in the past.
Mo Dai's heart was slightly flushed, but she didn't show her face. She asked solemnly, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"Yes. Chris replied succinctly, "Now that I have the overall idea, I probably need a little bit of time." ”
"It's going to take a little bit of time, it's not clear. Mo Dai said.
"I'm sorry, I know that's the only way to express it. Chris thought to herself: I really don't use the ancient way to express time, a day, a moment is easy to understand, a stick of incense, a cup of tea is a few minutes?" she said, "because I can't tell how long it is." ”
Looking at that handsome face, Mo Dai was slightly distracted. The first task Ouyang Feng gave himself was to build a garden. And judging from the content of the conversation with him, this garden is quite special, and there are many requirements that I have never heard of.
Murdai remembered Salmon Island again.
When Dugu Lianghui saw the black smoke of Xuantie on the island, she was so nervous that she urged herself to rush together, and she guessed that the matter must be related to the Iron Buddha Hall. It's just that I didn't expect that the person I wanted to see was Ouyang Feng, who disappeared with the "immortals" in a golden light, and I didn't expect that he was also a member of the Five Buddha Hall. She knew that the "Five Buddha Hall" was a more secret organization than Momen, and most of the members were first-class ministers in the government and the opposition, and it was not difficult for the people behind the scenes to deduce...... Such an organization is by no means comparable to its own Momen. At the beginning, Dugu Lianghui chased after him, on the one hand, he hated his identity as the hall master of the "Iron Buddha Hall", and on the other hand, Fang Ming was also worried about what the Five Buddha Hall had for Momen, so he refused him thousands of miles away.
Therefore, when Ouyang Feng took out the "Five Buddha Orders", he immediately felt a trace of disgust in his heart. I didn't want to take the token, but when Ouyang Feng said the next words, his hesitation disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Since you have followed the guidance of the "Immortal Lord", you should make up your mind to follow this strange person in front of you.
Allowing so many Mo disciples to gather in the most prosperous place in the world, the capital, and staying here for a long time was a very challenging situation that he had never considered. The first priority was to build an underground city that could be used by the disciples to live. The terrain here is close to mountains and rivers, and the environment is quite good, so it is not a problem to build a dungeon. But after all, this is someone else's territory, and I want to build it exactly as I want, and I don't know what others will think.
Who knew that when he showed Ouyang Feng the sketch he had drawn, the other party completely agreed after carefully checking it, and said that the "underground part" would start construction first according to his own ideas, and if he still had any ideas or opinions on the entire project, he would give priority. Mo Dai really didn't expect that Ouyang Feng trusted him so much. That day, he also said that there was no need to call him "Lord Ouyang", just call him "Xiaofeng". If such a move were done by someone else, I am afraid that it would obviously be a purchase of people's hearts, but why can't I see any such meaning from his face? Mo Dai asked himself this question in her heart.
In Ouyang Feng's dark eyes, there is a unique color, which makes people unable to see through or guess. She thought to herself: When she was on Scorpion Island, she saw this group of people knocking down Dugu Liangyi's annoying "wooden armor man", and she showed herself kindly and told them how to leave the island...... Why did you pick Teng Boy and Ouyang Feng into the house in the first place? Because she had been secretly observing for a long time, how they went to the island, how they unlocked the secrets of Mozhai, until they finally opened the door to the Dragon Formation, and how they introduced the wooden armor people into the Dragon Formation, she saw them all in her eyes...... When the wooden armor man was broken, only the two of them showed sad expressions.
Unexpectedly, inviting them into the house had an unexpected gain. That Teng kid turned out to be his own family, and in three or two sentences, he debunked his identity as the "giant" of the Mo family. However, being able to have such an adventure with the descendants of the Teng family is enough to make me sigh and sigh...... Ouyang Feng, who didn't care about him at the time, surprised himself later in the underground organ city.
And this kind of surprise is still increasing day by day with the days spent with him.
"Mo-senpai!"
The other party's call pulled Mo Dai back from her thoughts.
Chris looked down and asked hesitantly, "Can you ...... Make this platform a little higher?"
"It's already the limit of height. "This is just a temporary lookout, enough to observe the surrounding situation, why do you want to build it higher?"
Chris thought for a moment and muttered, "If you look down from a higher place, you can better grasp the overall terrain!" she pointed to the air and said, "If only I could be like a bird!"
"By the way, I heard that the iron tower of Kaibao Temple is the highest point in Kaifeng!" Chris's gaze crossed a brightly lit city and looked into the distance, "I should climb the tower one day, and I will see more clearly from there......"
Following her gaze, Mo Dai thought to herself: the tower is in the northeast of the 'outer city', and from its current position, the tower should be in the southeast. Why is Ouyang Feng not more familiar with the situation in the capital than himself? "Iron Tower Xingyun" is a grand scene that everyone knows in Bianliang City!
Ignoring this question for a moment, Mo Dai said in a low voice: "If you want to go to a high place, why do you need to climb the iron tower another day?"
"What do you mean by what Ink said?" asked Chris curiously.
Mo Dai turned his face sideways, towards Ouyang Feng, and said in a man's tone, "I may be able to let you fly up like a bird, but it will probably take a little time." ”
Chris immediately understood what Murdai meant. She was looking forward to seeing something interesting as time passed soon.
☆☆☆
A few days later in the morning.
In the breeze, Chris relaxed his body.
She squinted her eyes and listened, trying to hear the sound.
I thought I would hear a more rhythmic or melodic piece of music, but "Bang...... Boom...... The monotonous voice of "Boom" disappointed her. At first glance, the sound was not the least regular, but she quickly recognized the meaning: it was not a piece of music for people to enjoy, but a password!
When the voice sounded again, she listened attentively to the hollow echo left in the wind. The silence in the thump sound, as if the stopper had choked the sound in a bottle, sucked all the noise into the silence.
When Chris came back to her senses, she excitedly said to Mo Dai, "It turns out that the blank sound is the password to open the Dragon Formation!"
Mo Dai smiled, but was secretly surprised by Ouyang Feng's sharpness in her heart. Murday struck a horizontal log, and she put two mallets into the two holes in the log. (To be continued.) )
