Chapter 68 No Chance for Mount Shu
8 days passed and the remaining work on the valley platform took only 6 days. The completed platform became a popular place for everyone.
Today's platform is not only spacious and clean, but most of it is covered with emerald green lawns, like a green blanket spread on the platform. There are also several camellia trees that are over a hundred years old dotted around, giving people a feeling of comfort and relaxation.
The stone-paved roads are like white jade belts, shuttling through the green spaces, connecting the east and west pavilions, and the small central square in the middle.
From the small central square to the pavilions on both sides, Liang Zifeng also built a corridor that can provide shade and shelter from the rain. There are guardrails and long stone benches on both sides of the corridor for people to sit down and rest.
In order to facilitate the family's needs of sitting down and chatting and having dinner next to the square, he also built an open pavilion on the north side of the square, the kind without guardrails. The stone table in the middle of the pavilion can accommodate ten people to dine together.
On the east and west sides of the platform are an orchard and a vegetable garden respectively. Unfortunately, the vegetables in the vegetable garden have just been planted and only a few tender sprouts have grown in the past few days.
The orchard is more attractive because all the transplanted wild fruit trees have already produced small fruits, but it is not known whether they can grow up.
It's July 26th, and we're about to enter August, but the weather has started to get cooler, but it's not very obvious. Only people like Liang Zifeng who pay special attention to this aspect will notice it.
At this time on the platform, the third and fourth brothers were practicing swordsmanship in the central square, and the little girl and Leng Yuzhao were picking strawberries in the orchard. Those were not the strawberries Liang Zifeng transplanted on purpose, but they were dug up when he was choosing the lawn outside.
As for Liang Zifeng and the boss, they were sitting in the pavilion on the east side drinking tea and chatting.
"If you have something to say, just say it. You seem uncomfortable standing there, hesitating. Is there something going on with your master?"
Liang Zifeng took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and glanced at the boss. As soon as the boss came to the pavilion, Liang Zifeng noticed that something was wrong with him.
"How do you know?" The boss was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.
"This morning I found a carrier bird flying in. This kind of bird is not common, usually it is raised by people. And here, besides you, who else can let the carrier bird come to us?"
"Oh, so they found the carrier pigeon." The eldest brother said suddenly after hearing it.
"It's your master's messenger bird, right? But your master's sect is billions of miles away from here, right? Is the endurance of the messenger bird so strong?"
"How could it be possible that it flew over from the sect? What do you think a messenger bird is? A divine bird?" The boss looked at Liang Zifeng speechlessly, and then continued, "Shushan has branches in many holy places. The messenger bird flew over from Daxing Capital."
"That's impressive too. This place is not far from the capital." Liang Zifeng nodded after hearing this, and then seemed to remember something.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you before, how did you get to Daxing Empire from Shushan? You arrived in Daxing so quickly."
"Of course I came here by airship. There are three airships between Shushan and Daxing every year. I happened to catch the first one. It took me less than a month to reach the capital of Daxing. It was pretty fast."
"Flying boat? The kind that flies in the sky?"
"Well, it's only less than 20 or 30 feet above the ground. It can't be compared with the plane you flew in your previous life." The boss thought for a while, then shook his head.
"Is it built through runes? Or are there other means?" Liang Zifeng was more concerned about the principle of the flying boat, so he asked.
"Yes, it is a product of the combination of refining equipment and runes. It is very difficult to build and not something that ordinary forces can own. The Tianwu Merchant Alliance in Daxing, although not a holy land force, is really rich and has good relations with many holy lands, so it was able to purchase two."
"Oh, I see." Liang Zifeng nodded thoughtfully.
"Aren't you curious about what happened with my master?" The eldest brother thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice, with a hint of apology and helplessness in his eyes.
"Is it related to me?" Liang Zifeng looked at the boss's expression and asked curiously.
"Well, didn't you use the mother-and-child communication talisman to send a message to my master before? Later, my master investigated you through the branch in Daxing, and then..." The boss sighed here and didn't say anything else.
"Oh, it's okay. I had no plan to leave here. You can take the third brother and the others to your place. Of course, you have to convince them." Liang Zifeng probably guessed what the eldest brother didn't finish saying, but he didn't care much and said indifferently.
"Alas, I don't know who did the investigation. Shengdingmen and Bailong Sect killed so many people. It was their own fault. How can you say that you are bloodthirsty? Don't let me know who it is!" The boss said indignantly with an extremely angry expression.
"Oh? Tell me, what is the conclusion of your investigation into me?" Liang Zifeng suddenly asked with some curiosity.
"Uh, that's not a nice thing to say, so you'd better not ask."
"It's okay. I'm quite curious. Tell me about it." Liang Zifeng looked at the boss curiously with a slight smile on his face.
"Do you really want to listen?"
"Yeah, I'll listen."
"Don't be angry after hearing this."
"Don't be angry, stop talking, and speak quickly."
"It is said that you have slaughtered thousands of people, are cruel and ruthless, and are a loner. Your heritage is mysterious and suspicious, and it is suspected that there is a top-notch magician behind you. Moreover, your character is both good and evil, which makes you unsuitable for the sword practice of Shushan."
"That's it? That's all?" Liang Zifeng asked in surprise.
"No, that's not enough?"
"Well, I thought it was going to be that bad. Except for the exaggerated number of kills, everything else is nothing." Liang Zifeng said without taking it seriously.
"You... I really don't know what to say about you. Is this character of yours something you brought over from your previous life?"
"Previous life?" Liang Zifeng heard this and thought about it in his heart, "I don't think I was this kind of person in my previous life. In order to survive, I was always looking for ways to survive. I dabbled in various inheritances. I was too busy and had no time to think about other things."
"Okay, forget about that. By the way, although Shushan cannot accept you as a disciple, you can move with me to the vicinity of Shushan. At least it's much safer near Shushan than here."
"No, I won't leave here for now. I have found my own path. I will come to Shushan to find you when I have the chance. You should go and persuade the third brother and the others. Don't you find that they don't seem to be very enthusiastic about going to Shushan?"
