The next day, a dragon boat arrived at the snowy Tianchi. Two sword cultivators from the 11th realm of the Mo family escorted Xu Shuo, who had fallen into the 10th realm, off the spirit boat, while Lin Zhao led Gao Zhi, Huang Tingyu, and Chu Yu.
, Liu Liying and others greeted them at the foot of the mountain, and immediately went up the mountain with Xu Shuo. The main hall of the mountain top garden is in Tianranju. Only welcoming distinguished guests in Tiantianju can be regarded as thoughtful etiquette.
At this time, Xu Shuo was wearing a green gown and looked a little sick. He had not yet completely recovered from his fall, but the Mohist emperor gave Xu Shuo full authority to come to Tianchi in the snowy area to talk about "building the White City".
He relied heavily on him for various matters. In other words, although Xu Shuo fell down and was only a ten-level swordsman, the battle in Shuzhou elevated Xu Shuo's status in the Mo family's ancestral family to a very high status, and he even had the potential to
It feels like the next big boss.
After all, the Mohist Family's ancestral family not only pays attention to realm, mechanism, and formation cultivation, but also pays attention to merit. Xu Shuo's achievements in building a Dinghai Formation are enough to stand proudly among the younger generation of disciples of the Mohist Family's ancestral family.
"Brother Xu."
On the mountain road, Lin Zhao glanced at Xu Shuo and said: "It stands to reason that although you have fallen, as long as the spiritual energy and treasures are in place, you should be able to return to the eleventh realm soon. Why do you look so bad?"
Enemy?"
Xu Shuo said angrily: "How can it be so easy? In the past, breaking through the situation also relied on the right time and place. Now my mood has been a little bumpy. Gu Yanshu's sword has caused a lot of damage to my mood. I'm afraid I won't be able to recover for a while.
It’s reached the fifth realm.”
At this moment, Xu Shuo raised his head and glanced into the distance. He saw a young sword repairman wearing a purple gown, carrying a deer-seeking sword on his back, and sweeping the fallen leaves on the mountain road with a broom. For a moment, Xu Shuo frowned.
Frowning, a murderous aura surged out unconsciously.
"alright."
Lin Zhaodao: "He is only in one state now. You can kill him if it can repair the flaws in your state of mind."
"never mind."
Xu Shuo smiled bitterly: "The one I want to kill is Gu Yanshu from the Twelve Realm, otherwise there is no point."
"Let's go, let's drink tea in Tianran and talk slowly."
"good."
…
Naturally inside.
Liu Liying made tea, Lin Zhao and Xu Shuo sat opposite each other, with only Zhizhi beside them. Huang Tingyu and Huang Tingyu, except for Liu Liying and Xu Shuo who made tea, they were all decisive figures in the snowy Tianchi.
.
Xu Shuo stood up, laid a new drawing on the table, and said: "I have seen the sketch of Baicheng you drew. The overall defense is indeed good, but some of the mechanisms and formations need to be revised.
This is a new map I drew overnight. If you really want this White City to be able to withstand the monster army, you can only follow my map."
"oh?"
Lin Zhao immediately stood up and looked at Xu Shuo's drawing carefully. It turned out to be much more professional. The height of each section of the city wall, the formation lines to be buried under the city wall, etc. had been drawn. The height of the city, the formation of the urn city, etc.
Wait, everything is clearly marked, and even where in the city is suitable for building turrets, etc., have been set aside. However, the overall distribution of Baicheng fits the giant umbrella array, peeling off the giant umbrella array layer by layer, just like
It's like an onion. If you can break through the first layer of formation, there will be a second layer, and then the third layer, and the fourth layer. If you want to completely conquer Baicheng, it will be even more difficult.
"Is it feasible?" Xu Shuo asked.
"Can."
Lin Zhao nodded heavily: "It's much better than I imagined!"
"The cost of building this White City will be huge."
Xu Shuo said in a deep voice: "Master, I, several elders, and I have discussed it all night. Even if our Mo family's ancestral family provides free manpower to help you build the city, the construction of this white city will still cost nearly 400,000 gold. This is a
This is an extremely huge amount of money, Lin Zhao, are you sure that the Mountain Villa can really afford it?"
"Ah, four hundred thousand?" Liu Liying and Zhi Zhi were both shocked.
Old Huang frowned and counted with his fingers: "For four hundred thousand gold, how many wives will it cost?"
"Four hundred thousand is four hundred thousand."
Lin Zhao made a plan in his mind and said: "Brother Xu, do you think this will work? Doesn't our Shanding Villa cooperate with the Mohist family's ancestral family to have a spirit stone mine in the Luoyan Mountain area? The last time the Mohist monks surveyed, this
The veins of the Lingshi Mine are very deep. It should be able to produce millions of gold coins exceeding previous estimates. Then our Shanding Villa can just use this Lingshi Mine as a mortgage, which will be counted as twenty
Ten thousand gold coins, and the remaining two hundred thousand gold coins will be paid in installments. Every year, Shanding Villa will pay the Mohist family 10,000 gold coins for a total of twenty years. Is this good?"
"ah?"
Xu Shuo was stunned and said: "What you mean... is to let the Mo family's ancestral family help you build Baicheng, and then your mountain top garden will be restored slowly, right?"
"right."
"Do you think it's reasonable?" Xu Shuo asked with a smile.
Lin Zhao frowned, a little embarrassed: "I also know that it is a bit excessive, but I can't help it. I always feel that the demon clan is still plotting a big thing. If the fighting power of the Snowy Tianchi is not strong enough, I am afraid that in the future,
It is impossible to face that change. After all, the location of the Snowy Tianchi is too important. It is right under the eyes of the Monster Clan. It is a city that they cannot avoid. If the Monster Clan goes south and bypasses the Snowy Tianchi, the Snowy Clan will
Yu Tianchi can take advantage of his unpreparedness to steal his family and flatten the Ancestral Mountain, so the construction of Baicheng is beneficial to the entire human race."
"knew."
Xu Shuo took a deep breath and said: "The Mo family's ancestral family can indeed advance this huge sum of money. After all, the Lingshi mine has indeed made us a lot of money. As for the annual 10,000 gold mullet money, that really requires
Delivered on schedule.”
"knew."
Lin Zhao looked at Liu Liying: "Liying, how much money does our mountain top garden have now?"
"More than fifteen thousand." Liu Liying said.
"OK."
Lin Zhao nodded: "Immediately allocate 10,000 gold coins to Xu Jianxian. The reconstruction of Baicheng should be done sooner rather than later. Brother Xu knows what I mean, right?"
"knew."
Xu Shuo accepted a heavy bag of money from Liu Liying and said: "I will return to the Mo family's ancestral home to select craftsmen and prepare materials for city construction. The earliest is tomorrow morning, and the latest is tomorrow evening.
The boat will arrive at the Snowy Tianchi, Lin Zhao, keep this drawing, and send someone to clean up the corresponding trees, weeds, rocks, etc. where the city wall is to be built."
"good."
Lin Zhao nodded.
Immediately, Xu Shuo returned to the ancestral home of the Mo family without even taking a sip of tea.
…
The next day, morning.
A Kunpeng Immortal Boat landed in the sky above the snowy Tianchi. Gao Zhi opened the Giant Parasol Formation. He waited until the Kunpeng Immortal Boat landed completely before reopening the formation. For a moment, the golden kendo restrictions of the Giant Parasol Formation rose into the sky.
The giant Kunpeng Immortal Boat was shrouded in it, and on the Immortal Boat, a large number of Mohist monks carried city construction materials and stepped off the Immortal Boat.
Lin Zhao brought Gao Zhi, Huang Tingyu, Tang Guangjun, Chen Ben, Chu Yu, Yu Wanning, Muzhen and other important figures from the mountain top to greet him. Under the eyes of everyone, he was in charge of the construction of Baicheng. The sickly Xu Shuo floated down from the fairy boat, followed by a chubby middle-aged monk wearing a gray short shirt. He was carrying a piece of equipment covered with black cloth behind him. It didn't look like a long sword. .
"introduce."
Xu Shuo said in a deep voice: "This is my eldest brother, Lu Qi. I will supervise the entire construction of the city this time. The sect has appointed the eldest brother to take charge. After all, the eldest brother has a higher level and is stronger in fighting. "
"oh?"
Muzhen looked at Lu Qi, this damn fat guy is really strong in fighting?!
Tang Guangjun's heart skipped a beat, and he directly said to Lin Zhao: "Mountain Master, this fat man is incredible. Lu Qi is the best fighter among the younger generation in the Taoist family. Legend has it that the three spears he carries behind him are the pear blossom spears, a relic of the saint. , His marksmanship is said to be outstanding in the world. Throughout the ages, Lu Qi has been ranked first among the rangers of the Moh family. In addition, he carries the Pear Blossom Spear, a relic of the saint, so people in the world of the human race give him the nickname "Holy Spear Ranger". Thirteen At the pinnacle of the realm, apart from Ju Zi, he is the most powerful person in the Mo family's ancestral court."
"ah?!"
Lin Zhao was stunned. He didn't expect that this fat man with an unattractive appearance could actually reach the peak of the Thirteenth Realm, so he immediately clasped his fists respectfully: "Lin Zhao from the mountain top, see Master Lu!"
Lu Qi smiled and nodded: "You're welcome, Mountain Master. I came to Snowy Tianchi this time purely to protect my second junior brother, so Mountain Master doesn't need to be too rigid, and you don't have to worry about me, Lu Qi."
"OK."
Lin Zhao looked at the busy Mohist monks not far away, then looked at the sky, and said: "It will be noon soon. Brother Xu and Master Lu will go up the mountain together, and then get busy after dinner?"
"OK."
Xu Shuo smiled and said: "It will be a hard day from today on. Let's treat ourselves to a drink at noon and treat it as a start-of-work drink."
"As it should be."
Lin Zhao smiled.
…
afternoon.
After eating and drinking, Xu Shuo sat in the living room of Tiantianju. Mohist monks kept coming up the mountain with blueprints. They affectionately called Second Brother, then showed Xu Shuo the newly drawn blueprints and asked him to help correct them. In fact, Xu Shuo couldn't remember the face of this disciple at all. Fortunately, he knew the blueprints, so he gave instructions one by one and took an overall view of the entire construction of Baicheng.
Living outside naturally, Lu Qi burped and his eyes fell on Dong Zang who was washing the dishes. He sat down on a tree stump and his whole body looked chubby. The breeze blew and his clothes were flying, but there was nothing wrong with him. Immortal Qi looked at Dong Zang and said with a smile: "I have been through the world for a long time, but among the apricot girls, there are really not many who have the temperament and stunning appearance of Miss Dong Zang."
"ah?"
Dongzang was stunned, and Li Guo smiled slightly and said: "It's Master Lu. Master Lu is so complimentary. How could I not have spoken so well like you?"
"Some, some."
Lu Qi grinned and said, "Does Miss Dongzang know about the legendary love at first sight? It's that kind of thing..."
He pointed at the apricot forest not far away and said, "The flowers are beautiful, the trees are beautiful, but they are not as beautiful as you."
"ah?"
Dongzang was so panicked that he rushed into the kitchen without washing the dishes and went to peel the edamame for cooking in the evening.
Lu Qi turned around and looked at Zhi Zhi.
"Um?"
Zhi Zhi, who was sitting by the lotus pond and warming up his sword spirit, couldn't help but frowned. He glanced at the fat man's eyes and secretly screamed something bad. It seemed that the things in the legend were true. This guy was really that kind of person!
Lu Qi stood up and said with a smile: "I have long heard that my second junior brother has a human female Sword Immortal that he likes. When I saw her today, she was really impressive. The appearance and figure of Sword Immortal Zhi Zhi are indeed the best in the world."
"Ahem..."
Zhi Zhi was a little embarrassed: "Master Lu, please respect yourself!"
