Main text Chapter 26: Branch
Xu Yangyi didn't speak, and the other people's eyes flickered. They wanted to say something, but they all held back.
No one is an idiot. If the key to the real world was that simple, they would all go to Xianyun Yehe immediately. Tiandao would not know this.
"Mr. Liu." Zuo Lun bowed: "The newcomer has arrived."
Mr. Liu didn't seem to hear it and still shook his head to the rhythm of Peking Opera.
"Mr. Liu." Zuo Lun raised his voice a little: "The newcomer is here!"
"Ah? Are you here? Oh, okay... you are a young man..." Mr. Liu seemed to be startled, and the frequency of shaking the cattail leaf fan accelerated several times, and he opened his dim eyes sleepily, with not many teeth. His mouth curled up: "Are you going to open the door? Okay, okay, I'll go right away..."
Early stage of Qi training...
When he woke up, Xu Yangyi's brows raised slightly.
Just like him, he was in the early stages of Qi training.
But, here I am just a janitor!
This small pavilion... what is the mystery inside?
"It's interesting..." He rubbed his fingers in his trouser pocket. This helm, at least now, aroused his interest.
Mr. Liu seemed to be really old. He opened the door tremblingly, and Xu Yangyi took a closer look...
It was blank inside.
"Go, go." After Mr. Liu waited for everyone to enter, he closed the door, hung the sign saying "No visitors allowed in" outside again, and waved the cattail leaf leisurely.
Everyone went inside, and Xu Yangyi felt it.
It's very crowded...and it doesn't feel like a talisman formation at all.
"Too clever?" He looked around suspiciously. You can't blame him for being doubtful. No matter how brilliant the talisman formation is, it must have its own body. Just like when he slayed the demon, Mao Baer had arranged the talisman formation in advance. Even a page of yellow paper could be used to set up the formation. However, there was nothing in this already crowded room.
Before he could finish his thoughts, in the next second, everyone suddenly stopped and suddenly fell down!
"Damn..." He looked speechlessly at the square hole above where the moonlight shone slightly.
Why did you forget about elevators...
The elevator descended very quickly, and he already understood that this pavilion was the elevator, and the real helm of heaven...
Under the People's Park!
Below the city, among the intricate subway lines, there is a huge shadow. All subways and water pipes have been bypassed here since the city was built. And here is where the true rudder of heaven lies!
"Swipe..." The elevator descended desperately, as if it was impossible to see the bottom, Xu Yangyi silently calculated in his heart. Now, it is at least more than thirty meters down.
"Drip...drip..." The first group of colors appeared in their sight, followed by the second group, the third group, and the... countless groups.
It’s like a circle of colorful rings hooping around a square elevator, giving it a sci-fi feel. Before he could appreciate it, the next second, the elevator finally stopped.
"Welcome to the Nantong Provincial Branch of Tiandao." A female mechanized voice said: "Welcome to... between reality."
"Brush!" As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door suddenly opened, and immediately after, everyone seemed to stay in place.
Xu Yangyi opened his mouth slightly and his eyes flickered. He didn't expect that the division of rudders of heaven would be like this!
This is an extremely large room, covering an area almost as large as the People's Park above!
Above the head, there is no ceiling, instead there is a large piece of electronic circuit-like thing! The pipes passed through the trenches and converged into a huge electronic panel-like roof!
From time to time, bunches of red and green photoelectricity wandered through the transparent lines, converging on the center as if all the currents were returning home. And the center is...
A robotic face dozens of meters long!
It was a complete mechanized human face. The forehead, closed eyes, and slightly open mouth were put together like a puppet. Countless light points representing information sources all converged into this human face. Then, the blue information bundle was distributed from other lines.
The floor is a tempered glass floor. There was nothing down there, it was pitch black. Walking on it feels like walking in space.
On the floor, there are hundreds of computers and hundreds of data cabinets.
In this vast room of 1.5 hectares, more than 300 people are busy. The room is divided into five areas by bonsai and walls, like Pan's labyrinth. Even if they were standing at the door, they could hear the bustle of people inside.
"The trends of the demon clan in Yuyang City in the past ten years." A twenty-seven or eight-year-old woman wearing a white coat walked past them like the wind, without even looking at them. Her pretty face showed extreme dissatisfaction. Patiently, he pushed up his burgundy glasses and said as he walked: "Professor Fang wants it. In addition, tell the little demon who petitioned from Ping'an County that the branch is not the Supreme Cultivation Court of Nantong Province! Let it go away!" "
This is a mid-level Qi practitioner.
"Yes, I understand!" Several young men who had no sense of cultivation at all followed her, recording and asking: "How to get rid of it? It has petitioned five times."
"You need me to teach you?!" Although the woman's voice was high-pitched, she hurriedly drifted away from the elevator door: "The student who said that the Heavenly Dao took his family heirloom magic weapon? What a fart! Besides, just take it! One The little demon that just transformed came here chirping, does it want to be in the spotlight? "
"Tell it! You have to sue it to the training court! If you come here again, it won't come back!"
"Chief Liu, where's the loan you approved for our research department?" On the other side, several middle-aged men in white coats were surrounding an old man, verbally criticizing: "It's been three months! We are about the 'Arthropod Monster Tribe in Modern Times'" The subject of "Transformation under the Environment" has not been started yet! You should give me an answer!"
Five of you are in the early stage of Qi training!
"Yeah, you haven't appeared at the helm for more than a month. Come out today and say something!" "We won't leave unless approved today." "Easy to say, CSIB poached me four times, but I just refused. Go! You really can’t find a place to stay?”
On the other side, where there were the largest number of people, a man suddenly typed on the keyboard, stood up and shouted: "Who took over the water ghost case in Gaochuan City three months ago? Did you leave? The superiors closed the case today. Who is responsible for the case? Hurry up. Pass it over!"
"Where is the case record of the Fox Fairy Incident in the Satellite City of Fengyi City last year? Was it Zhu Hongxue's fault? If so, don't leave it to this group. This group can't handle it!" "The old birthday boy in the south of Fengyi City applied for the ribbon-cutting of Changlu Film and Television ? The third group came with me to take a look... Why? "The spider in the north is anorexic again!" It’s been like this for more than a hundred years! Are you going to degenerate into a caterpillar?”
Paper cranes carrying messages were flying around the 1.5 hectares of land like butterflies, and from time to time a streak of light could be seen flying by. It was a flying sword with a pile of information or something hanging on the hilt. Occasionally, you can see domesticated untransformed monsters, such as a black cat with two golden spots and a three-eyed monkey with a single horn on its head, serving tea and water to each group.
Monks who are extremely rare in the outside world are everywhere here! At least a hundred people were monks, and all other ordinary people were their victims.
They were divided into five major areas in the room, which seemed chaotic. Xu Yangyi looked carefully for a minute, but found that they were actually orderly.
Others looked at the bustling helmsmanship in astonishment, actually...is this what the helmsmanship is like?
Isn’t it the scene of an immortal home with pavilions, towering mountains and flowing water, auspicious fairy beasts, and soaring white cranes?
This... such a vivid picture of the daily life of a government department... actually prevents others from complaining, because there are flaws everywhere.
It’s like the sight of a man in black!
Xu Yangyi didn't see this, he had different ideas. He even felt that...this is what true splitting of the helm should look like.
This is not the ancient cultivation era, and he has realized this reality countless times. It’s 2016, the Humane Age! It’s the age of civilization! Ancient things are no longer suitable. The world is evolving, and things that remain inherent can only be destroyed. Just like dinosaurs.
This...is the real urban practice!
This is what spiritual practice should be like as it develops to this point!
He was looking at the mechanical face above his head that had five pieces of machinery put together.
"Are you curious?" Suddenly, a voice rang in his ears. Chu Zhaonan stood beside him expressionlessly and raised his chin towards the roof: "That is the way of heaven."
Xu Yangyi looked at the huge human face on the roof. It's hard to tell whether it's "alive" or not. Because its facial features are vibrating slightly, but it is indeed a high-tech machine.
"Superbrain." Seeing that he was silent, Chu Zhaonan continued: "It's not beyond the human brain... Every big country has several top-notch supercomputers, such as the Yan Guihui of the Republic of China, and the Galaxy of China. However, The real, top-notch supercomputer will always be placed in the world of spiritual practice.”
"So, China's most powerful supercomputer is called Tiandao?" Xu Yangyi looked thoughtfully at the huge human face above his head: "Is it also the supercomputer? Is it placed here?"
"This is just a part of it." Chu Zhaonan glanced at the face casually and said lightly: "It is not only a machine, but also the ultimate weapon that can suppress the entire province. You'd better hope not to let him pursue you. Kill, because at that time, you will be dead."
"Besides, I don't think this is what you want to focus on." He licked his lips and stood in front of Xu Yangyi. Like a bull seeing red, he paused his military boots and said in a deep voice: "Down here is the arena. The graduation ceremony is held. "
Xu Yangyi withdrew his gaze and looked at Chu Zhaonan with a half-smile: "So?"
"I want to challenge you!" Chu Zhaonan stared into his eyes: "In the name of being number one in Tianfeng City!"
Xu Yangyi looked at him for a long time and smiled: "Reason?"
"There is no reason." Chu Zhaonan said coldly: "If there must be, there will be a comprehensive ranking competition across the country for every Tiandao graduate. This is called a qualifying competition, but..."
He grinded his white teeth and said, "No one knows except me. Every time a class of students graduates, a Jindan Master will come up with a 'Lottery Prize' from Jindan Master, the world's top monk!"
