Chapter 1175: The Palace of Heaven (Part 1)
When the floating ship was about to approach the wall of Yongzhou Prefecture City, it began to slowly fall. When it fell to a certain height, some flying beasts entrenched near the wall flew out of the nest again, wanting to siege the floating ship. .
However, this time, before these flying beasts could wrap up the floating ship, lightning and lightning emerged from the rune magic arrays engraved on the city wall, passed through the strange beasts, connecting them into a big thunder net, and all the strange beasts in the big net turned into ashes at the moment the lightning disappeared.
Although this is not the first time some people have seen the defensive magic circle on this wall exert their power, the scene in front of them still makes them unable to help but exclaim.
Xu Changqing was also surprised by the power of the defensive magic circle on the wall, because the thunder power just now contained a trace of the power of the thunder law, which also increased the power of the thunder by at least ten times more than the power contained in it. With such a powerful thunder power protection, no wonder even if this city was built in the forest of demonic realm with groups of strange beasts, it was still safe.
After a while, the floating ship landed on the tower platform inside the city wall without any danger. The porters and workers who had been waiting on the platform were carefully transported the goods down the platform under the command of the ship's supervisor, and then placed them on cars heading to different locations in different categories.
Yes, it's a car! When Xu Changqing took a tool similar to an elevator to the ground from a platform of the same height as the city wall, the various freight trucks and cars parked around him gave him the illusion of whether he had returned to the secular world.
Soon Xu Changqing discovered that these cars were popular in Europe when he left the secular world, and it was more like military trucks and military jeeps used for war transport during World War II. The tires of the vehicles were not rubber tires, but cork tires. Although he could not see the engine inside the vehicle, it can be seen from the fact that there was no exhaust pipe at the rear of all vehicles that used the power of these vehicles was not gasoline engines in the secular world, but another engine that would not be discharged from abandoned.
In other words, the trucks and cars in front of us are just a shape and basic operating principle of secular human vehicles. As for their core power, they have long been changed to other things by people in this world.
"These things are called cars. They became popular in Yongzhou Prefecture City more than ten years ago. It is said that the original form of these cars was a strange thing found by a desolate man while exploring the wasteland. Later, after improvement, it became what it is now." Seeing Xu Changqing's eyes fell on the cars for a long time, Bo Ji stepped forward and answered for him: "However, these cars seem to have some serious defects and are not suitable for use in other places. Only in the prefectures of various states can these novel things be seen."
As he spoke, Bo Ji led Xu Changqing to a very long and large capped truck, and like everyone else, he got on the back of the truck similar to the bus, found a position to sit down on the outside, lifted the curtains and looked out, looking very excited.
Soon after the car was full of people, the vehicle slowly started and quickly walked out of the large courtyard full of various cars, and drove to a stone road that was so spacious that it could be ranked alongside ten large cars. It was driving forward at a speed that was not fast but very stable.
After the vehicle was on the road, Bo Ji, who had never liked to talk, seemed to have become a tour guide. Whenever the vehicle passed by the main entrance of a manor, he would quickly tell the aristocratic family belonging to the manor and some interesting stories about the past of this aristocratic family.
Xu Changqing, who was sitting next to Bo Ji, could feel that Bo Ji's emotions became something wrong after entering this city. On the surface, he seemed to have nothing abnormal, but in fact he was very frightened inside, as if he was worried about something, and had to calm the anxiety in his heart by speaking.
Although Xu Changqing knew Bo Ji's situation very well, he did not stop it. In his opinion, Bo Ji's use of this way to relieve the pressure of worry is not a bad thing. Moreover, he can also have a clear understanding of the large and small families in Yongzhou Prefecture City from Bo Ji's introduction. Even if these information about the aristocratic families may not be used in the future, they will be prepared and at least they will not be caught off guard by emergencies.
After driving about a hundred miles around the bottom of the city wall, the vehicle drove past a stone bridge that was nearly 100 meters wide, and then went up to a road that was twice as wide as the street just now.
This road is one of the eight main axle roads in the entire Yongzhou Fucheng. There is a river channel more than 70 meters wide on both sides of the road. All the water in the river comes from the crisscrossing dragons on the city wall. These dragons look like ordinary sculptures on the surface, but in fact, they can absorb the surrounding water vapor through some magic arrays on the surface of the city wall, condense it into liquid water, and then spit it out of your mouth, gather under the city wall, and eventually become small rivers.
"It's so luxurious!" Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel sorry when he saw these clear rivers flowing freely in the river.
Although these waters are liquid water condensed by water vapor, some spiritual energy is incorporated into the process of condensation, which has changed a little. Although these waters cannot be called spiritual water, they are no longer ordinary water. It is not difficult to speculate that drinking these water all year round can not only prolong life, but also use these water as rootless water needed for alchemy and refining medicine. It can be said that putting it on the earth is a treasure, but here it is only regarded as water to beautify the city and irrigate the manor. No wonder Xu Changqing felt too luxurious when he saw it.
Although the vehicle was not fast and would stop from time to time in the middle, after nearly two hours of driving, it finally arrived in front of the Yongzhou General Mansion of Litian Palace in the center of the city.
After getting off the car, the two of them came to the small side hall on the side of the main gate, took out all the documents handled by the Beppu Mansion of the Mucheng Tiangong, and handed them over to the Tiangong scribe who was on duty in the hall. They took two room license plates from the scribes. After hearing some precautions, they walked from the small side hall gate to the interior of the Yongzhou General Mansion of Tiangong.
As the center of Yongzhou Prefecture and the largest prefecture in the city, the Tiangong Yongzhou General Palace was completely built in the style of the Tang Dynasty Daming Palace. It is not easy to see it in the air, but when you get close to it, you can feel the magnificent momentum of this building.
Half of the huge front plaza is a stone square and half is a lawn square. At the end of the square are more than a thousand steps, and at the top of the steps is a huge palace. The plaque on the palace contains the three big words Hanyuan Hall. According to this name, the palace behind must have Xuanzheng, Zichen and other palaces.
Seeing this, Xu Changqing couldn't help laughing at the builder, who actually copied the Daming Palace completely, and even changed the name of the palace. This is not only a problem of defects in the soul, but also because of the defects. From the aftermath, Li Tian Palace seemed to recognize this behavior and did not punish him. This shows that there are already problems in the fundamental system of Li Tian Palace.
When I came here, Bo Ji mentioned that the favorite thing about the scholars and the wilful scholars in the General Palace is to read books and talk on the more than 1,000 steps and huge square lawns at the main entrance of the General Palace, but at this moment, he could not see such a beautiful scenery at all. Logically speaking, this palace should have gathered more than half of the literati and wilful scholars in Yongzhou, but at this moment, Xu Changqing did not see too many people here.
"What's going on?" Xu Changqing asked Bo Ji in a deserted manner.
Bo Ji was also confused and murmured to himself: "Yes! What's going on?"
At this time, a Tiangong scribe who was passing by the two of them happened to hear Bo Ji's self-question, and responded casually, saying, "You two must have just arrived! You don't even know about such a big thing?"
"What's the big deal?" Bo Ji asked.
"Half a month ago, Li Tian Palace suddenly decided to lower the recruitment conditions again. Almost all the scholars and scholars in the General Palace agreed with this condition. Those people were picked up immediately after they were selected."
Xu Changqing and Bo Ji looked at each other. Although they did not communicate, they already understood what each other was thinking. They both thought that if Li Tian Palace did this, if it was not invasion of evil gods outside the domain and urgently needed to replenish their personnel, then they might have planned to give up Yongzhou and prepare to plunder the talents here before they completely let go.
Xu Changqing quickly calmed down and asked the scholar about the location of the house assigned by him and Bo Ji. He walked towards the corridor on the right, preparing to go to the house behind for the scribes and the deserted scholars to live.
"What should we do now?" Bo Ji couldn't help but ask in a low voice on the way.
"What should I do?" Xu Changqing asked back.
"Aren't we going to Qingzhou?" Bo Ji immediately explained: "Half a month ago, Litian Palace opened the Star Gate God Array in advance in order to pick up the scholars and the wild men, so much earlier than expected. Now the Star Gate God Array probably needs to accumulate several months of strength before it can be opened again. Without the help of the Star Gate God Array, how can we go to Qingzhou when the two worlds meet?"
"Don't worry, there is not only one way to go to Qingzhou." Xu Changqing smiled and comforted Bo Ji. The reason why he was so calm was that he knew very well that in addition to the Star Gate God Array of Li Tian Palace, there was also a Star Gate God Array hidden in the Li Tian Palace in the depths of the Demon Realm Forest. Xu Changqing, the token that opened the divine array happened to be obtained from the Lord of Mucheng, so he was not worried about leaving.
Although the retreat had been arranged long ago, Xu Changqing did not tell him to Bo Ji, but just comforted the other party by saying that there must be a road before the car to the mountain.
Perhaps it was because of the worry in his heart that Bo Ji lost the interest in chatting, or perhaps it was because of the past few days that he had made him feel a little tired. After finding the room corresponding to his license plate, he accused Xu Changqing and went in to rest. Xu Changqing was also about to return to his house to rest, but he saw a few people who surprised him and walked in from another entrance of the courtyard where the house was located.
