Chapter 246 Transportation
The Tang Dynasty has arrived.
Li Qi perked up!
He has been looking forward to Tang Kingdom for a long time!
The interior of Wushen Mountain is quite peaceful, as peaceful as the Wushen Dao itself. Everyone does their own thing without disturbing each other. If there is anything, they can communicate with each other.
Just let nature take its course and maintain the laws of the natural operation of the universe. That's fine.
But this is not the case with humanity.
What humanity pursues is change.
Innovate every day and pursue a better future all the time.
Li Qi hugged Shen Shuibi and murmured:
"Humanity has many latitudes and longitudes, and rules are everywhere. Benevolence and righteousness are used to induce people, and punishments are used to restrain them. All the people are unified within one sea."
Li Dao and Taoist sects all have a part of their Taoism that follows the Human Tao, and even breaks away from the original Taoism. This shows that the Human Tao is actually very attractive.
However, it was still difficult for Li Qi to understand without seeing it with his own eyes.
The humanity he had seen in the past was more domineering than humane.
Although it is majestic and majestic, it is merciless and crushes all those who disobey with terrifying and incomparable brute force. There is no reason to say, either surrender or die.
There is no other choice.
But he also knew that humanity was never that simple, so he wanted to see it with his own eyes.
Li Qi studied abroad at Taixue, which was located in Chang'an.
This is...
Chang'an.
The center of humanity in all the heavens and the endless realms, where the Human Emperor sits.
"Li Qi..." At this time, Shen Shuibi in rabbit form spoke.
"Huh? What's wrong, Shuibi?" Li Qi asked.
Shen Shuibi's ears drooped and her whole body trembled, as if she still couldn't get used to this title.
However, she quickly cheered up and said: "Be careful, I have never been there...I am not familiar with humane places, but the Tang State is very domineering and does not like to listen to others."
"Don't worry, the people from Honglu Temple will come to pick us up. Tang Guo will not let anything happen to us." Li Qi nodded, comforted the rabbit, then stroked the rabbit's fur and tail.
It's really long when you pull it out.
This made Shen Shuibi shrink into a ball and not let him continue to mess around.
The roc bird also gradually shrank its body. Standing on the edge of its wings, Li Qi gradually saw that the scenery in front of him began to become clearer.
The clouds and mist in the sky dispersed, and the cave on Dapeng's back was completely hidden, shrinking to only a few meters of wingspan, only enough for Li Qi to stand alone.
At this time, the big roc spoke.
She said in a gentle female voice:
"Sir, we came in a hurry and there is no one accompanying us. I will go back to give my best wishes later. I'm afraid there will be four or five days in between. There are only two of you in Chang'an...be careful."
"Senior, don't worry. I've known all these things for a long time. It only takes three to five days, so it won't be a problem." Li Qi smiled, he already knew about this.
It is normal that he did not set off with the large army after preparing the mission.
But after he robbed Shen Shuibi, he was afraid that Zhizhu would come back to hang him up and beat him, so he hurriedly went out to seek refuge.
When he came to study in the Tang Dynasty, even the Zhizhus couldn't say anything and could only stare at Li Qiqian.
Upon hearing this, the rabbit rolled himself into a ball, with his head and tail facing down, pretending that he was just a ball of fur.
"Young Master, just have your thoughts in mind. We are here." The Dapeng hovered in the air and then slowly landed towards the ground.
The ground... is a metropolis.
Li Qi looked far into the distance, but he couldn't find the boundaries of Chang'an.
Just like Wushen Mountain covers an area of tens of thousands of miles, Chang'an's area is not that exaggerated, but it can easily reach the level of thousands of miles, right?
To be honest, Li Qi was a little surprised. In his imagination, Chang'an should be boundless.
But the space was much smaller than he imagined.
Thousands of miles across, it was roughly the size of Australia in the previous life.
Calculated, it is seven to eight million square kilometers, a little less than the Chinese Empire and a little larger than the American Empire.
For a city to be of such huge size is already terrifying.
However, you still feel that it’s not that interesting?
Seemingly seeing Li Qi's doubts, Dapeng smiled and said: "Young master, you don't have to worry. Just like Wushen Mountain in the world, Chang'an in the world is just a center and a 'portal'."
Portal?
Li Qi was stunned.
I see.
Dapeng continued to fly downward and broke through the Gangfeng layer.
Right here, prosperity stands out.
Surrounded by countless aircraft, most of these aircraft cannot break through the strong wind layer, but they are enough to travel here.
Each aircraft has different characteristics, and some are flying mounts and alien beasts like Li Qi.
Some are magic weapons, such as common boats and carts.
Others are huge public transportation facilities, such as buses or urban light rail.
A series of rail-like magic passages run through it, strictly regulating the path.
Flying also has a flying path, which is divided into longitude and latitude, and the track is on the right track. There are many but not chaos. Each one flies within its own range.
The same is true for Li Qi. Dapeng seems to know the 'traffic rules' here and is moving along a windless road constructed by magic. Such rules allow so many aircraft to operate in an orderly manner!
It's not slow and it doesn't bump into other people.
Li Qi could see that there were even countless ordinary people who were not in the rank. Although they had cultivation, they were not in the rank. However, they took the same public transportation as many people with ranks.
Some even bought their own flying machines.
Looking down from the air, you can see countless rivers.
Really, countless...
A giant river that was probably 800 miles wide passed through the entire Chang'an. From this giant river, countless small rivers spread out around it, forming a water network that spread to the entire Chang'an.
These water networks seemed to have been carefully planned to ensure that each place had sufficient penetration, becoming the second transportation network of the city.
What a great river! The Hong River was vast, with no source in the front and no destination in the back. It enveloped Kunwei and connected to Taimeng.
You could only see the foam in it, the boundless south, the boundless north, the lush water lilies, and the exotic birds living on it, gathering in groups. Countless people took boats, or rode on turtles and tortoises, wearing flowers and stepping on the mist, wearing purple and hanging red, and traveling on the river in response to festivals.
Li Qi even saw many dragons! These dragons carried the palace on their backs and floated above the Dadu. There were people drinking and having fun in the palace, and music was lingering.
In addition to water and air transportation, land transportation was also very developed.
On land, there were different cars, or other land-based magic weapons, and strange beasts were among them.
According to the planned roads, these vehicles and magic weapons and strange beasts were running on the roads, and some could even come to certain take-off points, fly into the air, or go down to the water.
There were also some air and water transportation tools that could land on the ground, each with different processes.
There were so many transportation tools alone that it was unknown how many, and hundreds of millions of people traveled in this city, but they followed some strange and mysterious rules, which made all these warps and wefts ready, and they became organized, well-organized, and not a bit messy.
This was just transportation.
The buildings below were even more amazing.
The flying buildings were lined up with mountains, and the long distance was entrusted to him.
The towering Jieyun Pavilion was planted with sacred trees and spiritual herbs.
There are thousands of changes, different shapes and different conditions, the yin beams flow north, and the yang birds fly south.
The Guanguan spiritual pillars, the magnificent camphor trees, the hundreds of pillars lean against each other, and the thousands of cypresses stand for branches!
Houses of various forms are located below, some of which are like residential buildings, which can easily reach several miles high and pierce the sky, and many aircraft pass by.
Roads will also extend from these residential buildings, like overpasses composed of rooftops, and vehicles on the ground below can also drive up.
These overpasses are connected to each other, forming a three-dimensional transportation network, but there are no pedestrians, only transportation tools.
Complex, but orderly.
Through some traffic rules, hundreds of millions of vehicles travel through this city that covers an area as large as Australia on Earth.
Li Qi suspected that there was even underground transportation, because he could feel the ground energy surging in the ground veins.
This is a warning of earthquakes in the Baiyue area, but here there is no movement at all.
This reminded him of the "ground flow car" that Jing Yan had told him in the past.
A glimpse of the leopard in the tube can reveal a glimpse of it.
Just from these traffic, Li Qi can see the prosperity of Chang'an.
Prosperous, but well-organized and full of vitality.
Rules protect everyone, but do not restrict anyone's freedom.
Rules are to prevent you from being hurt, or you hurt others. Within this range, you are free.
Or you can say that...
Rules bring freedom.
Wushen Mountain hardly sets too many rules and allows everything to develop, but the mortals in the Baiyue area have no freedom at all, and they are even in the feudal era.
Because, without the constraints of rules, social development will almost inevitably stagnate, but Wushen Mountain does not care, because this is also part of nature.
A stone from 100 million years ago is still a stone now.
Wushen Mountain will not deliberately carve this stone into an instrument, only when it is needed.
"I see, I see." Li Qi sighed.
He understood part of it.
These rules constrain the strong to allow the weak to gain a certain degree of freedom.
The law enforcement forces prevented other ordinary people from doing evil, and the stronger monitoring forces stopped the law enforcement forces, and then moved up layer by layer.
All the way to the top of the first rank, they restrained themselves and served as the ultimate constraint of all these rules.
In this way, layer by layer, the current social order was formed.
It was well-organized, allowing everyone to obtain the maximum freedom they could get without infringing on the freedom of others.
The boundaries of freedom were regulated, as long as you don't infringe on the freedom of others, you are free.
Just like the traffic lanes here, you don't affect other people's driving, then you can drive whatever you want.
That's why it is said that here, the rules that bind people have brought freedom.
This has greatly promoted the generation of prosperity.
Soon, Dapeng followed the air passage, crossed hundreds of miles, and landed in a...
Parking lot?
I don't know how to describe it, but in Li Qi's mind, this thing should be called a parking lot.
It covers a large area, tens of square kilometers.
Many exotic beasts or magic weapons that cannot be shrunk are placed here, and there are special people patrolling and guarding them. There are also things like surveillance cameras around, which are like the eyes of magic weapons patrolling.
They are made very conspicuous and flashing, which is more like a warning than a surveillance.
Warn those with evil intentions, ‘Be careful, there is surveillance here’.
Moreover, the surrounding decoration style is also very interesting.
No wonder that when I was in the small world of the "Geo Oil World", I had that ancient style with a modern look.
At that time, it was said that the Earthly Oil World was governed by ‘humane and evil laws’.
Here is the super invincible advanced enhanced version of the geooil world.
The surrounding decoration is quite ancient, but under the ancient style, it has an extremely advanced atmosphere.
Just looking at the appearance, it really looks like this: Yaoxuan is surrounded by a green screen, the screen is covered with clouds, the dew is shining on the steps, and the evening breeze is clear under the forest.
But if you look closely, you can find the advanced methods and measures hidden under these ancient customs.
In the Tang Dynasty, everywhere you look, there is no place that is not a magic weapon!
Yes, there is no place where it is not.
The wall is, because advertisements are still playing on the wall, promoting flying swords.
The road was on, and the road signs on the road were all dynamic and flashing to guide Li Qi out of the parking lot.
The same goes for the flower beds on the roadside, because the flower beds are being automatically watered and fertilized to loosen the soil.
Even the tiles on the ground are magic weapons!
These floor tiles faintly formed a huge array, connecting the entire parking lot.
Waves transmitted by various spells filled the surroundings, just like radio waves filled the entire earth.
Everything seems to be automated.
Except that the aesthetic still maintains a certain classical oriental charm, the rest has really reached a certain level of 'science fiction'.
Holding the rabbit in his arms until he landed in a parking space in the parking lot, Dapeng said: "Sir, the people from Honglu Temple just communicated with me. He asked us to park here and someone will come to greet us."
"Communicated? When?" Li Qi was stunned.
"Every time you want to enter or leave Chang'an, you have to go through a review. When they contacted me at that time, they just wanted to avoid disturbing you, so I couldn't contact you in the cave, so I didn't speak at that time."
"I see, it's okay. It's normal for them to pick me up anyway." Li Qi nodded and got off Dapeng's back.
Then, follow the road signs that change randomly on the ground and walk towards the outside of the parking lot.
Li Qi saw that as he moved, nearby road signs were also changing in real time, adjusting their orientation according to his path, pointing to the way out at all times.
Also, if there is no way to guide the parking lot that covers an area of dozens of kilometers, the monks can say that ordinary people will probably die in it.
Not long after leaving, Li Qi saw a group of people wearing typical Tang costumes.
They were wearing... official uniforms.
There were six or seven people in total, with two leading the team.
After seeing Li Qi, they speeded up and rushed towards him.
Then, they slightly cupped their hands, without much respect, and just said to each other:
"In the Celestial Dynasty, Chen Wei, the banquet chief of Honglu Temple Dianke Office."
"Honglu Temple, a frequent visitor to the Concierge Hall, has a square and round shape."
"Come to welcome Mr. Wu Shenshan into the palace."
