Wandao long distance

Chapter 246 Traffic

The Tang Dynasty has arrived.

Li Qi's spirit lifted!
He has been looking forward to Tang Guo for a long time!

The interior of Wushen Mountain is quite peaceful, just as peaceful as Wudao itself. Everyone does their own things without disturbing each other. If there is something to do, they will communicate with each other.

Let nature take its course and maintain the laws of the natural operation of the universe, that's fine.

But humanity is not like that.

What humanity pursues is change.

Innovating every day, we are always pursuing a better future.

Li Qi hugged Shen Shuibi and murmured:
"Humanity is infinitely long and latitude, and rules are omnipresent. Inducing people with benevolence and righteousness, and restraining them with punishment, they will always be unified in one sea and all peoples."

The way of reasoning, Taoism, some of the Dao veins follow the human way, and even break with the original orthodoxy, which is enough to show that the human way is actually very attractive.

However, since Li Qi hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it was still hard to understand.

The humanity he has seen in the past is not so much humanity as it is domineering.

Although majestic and magnificent, he was merciless and crushed all disobedients with terrifying and incomparable brute force. There was no reason to say that he had to surrender or die.

There is no other choice.

But he also knew that human nature was never that simple, so he wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Li Qi studied in Taixue, and the location of Taixue is in Chang'an.

This is...

Changan.

The heavens and worlds, the center of humanity outside the boundless territory, the place where the Human Emperor sits.

"Li Qi..." At this time, Shen Shuibi in the form of a rabbit spoke.

"Huh? What's the matter, Shui Bi?" Li Qi asked.

Shen Shuibi's ears drooped and she was trembling all over, as if she still wasn't quite used to this name.

However, she quickly cheered up and said: "Be careful, I have never been... I am not familiar with humane places, but Tang State is very domineering, and I don't like to listen to people talking."

"Don't worry, people from Honglu Temple will come to pick us up, Tang Guo will not let us have any accident." Li Qi nodded, comforted the rabbit, then stroked the rabbit's fur, and pulled its tail.

It's really long to pull out.

Shen Shuibi shrank into a ball, preventing him from continuing to mess around.

And that big roc gradually shrunk its body and stood on the edge of its wings. Li Qi gradually saw the scenery in front of him become clearer.

The high-altitude clouds cleared away, and the cave on Dapeng's back was completely hidden, and the whole shrank to only a few meters of wingspan, which was only enough for Li Qi to stand alone.

At this time, the roc spoke.

She said in a soft female voice:
"My lord, we came here in a hurry and we didn't have anyone with us. I'll go back to report my blessings later. I'm afraid there will be four or five days in the middle. There are only two of you in Chang'an... Be careful."

"Senior, don't worry, these things have been known for a long time, but it will take three to five days, it will not get in the way." Li Qi smiled, he had known this for a long time.

It's normal, he didn't set off with the large army after preparing the mission.

Instead, after snatching Shen Shuibi, he was afraid that Zhizhu would hang him up and beat him when he came back, so he hurried out to take refuge.

When they came to study in Tang country, even Zhizhu couldn't say anything, they could only stare at Li Qiqian.

Hearing this, the rabbit rolled itself into a ball with its head and tail down, pretending that it was just a ball of fur.

"Young Master, it's fine if you have a plan in mind, we're here." Dapeng circled in the air, and then slowly landed towards the ground.

The ground...is one, a metropolis.

Li Qi looked far and wide, but he couldn't find the boundary of Chang'an.

Just like Wushen Mountain occupies tens of thousands of miles, although Chang'an's area is not that exaggerated, it can easily reach the extent of tens of thousands of miles, right?

To be honest, Li Qi was a little strange. In his imagination, Chang'an should be boundless.

But the footprint is much smaller than he imagined.

Across thousands of miles, it is about the size of Australia in the previous life.

The calculation is 800 million square kilometers, which is a little less than the Chinese Empire and a little bigger than the US Emperor.

A city can have such a huge size, it is already very scary.

However, it still feels a little bit less interesting?
Seemingly seeing Li Qi's doubts, the Dapeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Just like the Wushen Mountain in the world, Chang'an in the world is just a center and a 'gateway'."

Portal?
Li Qi was stunned.

It turned out to be the case.

Dapeng continued to fly down and broke through the wind layer.

Right here, the prosperity stands out.

Surrounded by countless aircraft, most of these aircraft cannot break through the wind layer, but they are enough to travel here.

Each aircraft has different characteristics, some are the same flying mounts and strange beasts as Li Qi.

Some are magic weapons, such as common boats and carts.

Others are huge public transportation facilities, like buses or urban light rail.

A series of magical passages like tracks run through it, strictly regulating the route.

Flying also has a flight path, which is divided into longitude and latitude, and positive and negative rails. There are many but not chaotic, and each flies within its own range.

The same is true for Li Qi, Dapeng seems to know the 'traffic rules' here, and is walking 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 collide with other people.

Li Qi could see that there were even countless people here who were ordinary people without rank. Although they were cultivated, they were not rank, but they actually took the same public transportation as many people with rank.

Some even bought their own flying machines.

Looking down in the air, you can see countless rivers.

Really, countless...

A huge river with a width of about [-] miles passed through the entire Chang'an. Countless small rivers sprang from the surroundings of this huge river, Dadu, forming a water network that spread to the entire Chang'an.

These water networks also seem to have been carefully planned to ensure sufficient infiltration rate in each place, becoming the city's second transportation network.

What a blasphemy!The river is full of water, the origin is unknown before, and the whereabouts of the future is unknown, enveloping Kunwei and even Bo Taimeng.

You can only see the floating foam in it rushing, looking south to the boundless, north looking at the Wu'e, the fertile wild rice, there are rare birds and different birds living on it, and countless people take boats, or ride on the genus of tortoises and turtles. Hua dances in the sky, wears purple pendulums, and travels on the river to meet festivals.

Li Qi even saw many flood dragons!These dragons carried the palace on their backs and floated above the Dadu. Some people were drinking and playing in the palace, and the music was playing.

In addition to water and air transportation, land transportation is also very developed.

On the land, there are different vehicles, or other magic weapons for land travel, including strange beasts.

According to the planned road, these vehicles and magical beasts run on the road, and some can even come to certain take-off points, fly into the air, or go down into the water.

There are also some air and water vehicles that can fall to the ground, and each has a different process.

I don’t know how many means of transportation alone, hundreds of millions of people are passing through this city, but they abide by some kind of strange and mysterious rules, so that all these warps and latitudes are in order, and they are organized and well organized. , nothing messed up.

It's just traffic.

The buildings below are even more amazing.

Feidong is listed as a mountain stand, and the long distance is long and long.

Cui Wei of Jieyun Pavilion planted sacred trees and spiritual grasses.

It is ever-changing and different in shape and suitable for different purposes. The yin beam is injected in the north, and the yang bird is applied in the south.

Guanguan Lingzhu, Hehe Liuzhang, hundreds of couplets leaning on each other, and thousands of branches!

Houses of various forms are located below, some of which are like residential buildings, which can easily reach a height of several miles, piercing the sky, and many aircraft pass by.

Roads will also extend out of these residential buildings, like an overpass composed of rooftops, and vehicles on the ground below can still drive up.

These overpasses are connected with each other to form a three-dimensional traffic network, but there are no pedestrians, only vehicles.

Complicated, but orderly.

According to some kind of traffic rules, hundreds of millions of vehicles pass through this city which covers an area the size of Australia.

Li Qi suspected that there was even an underground transportation, because he could feel the earth's qi constantly surging in the veins of the earth.

This is an earthquake warning in the Baiyue area, but there is no movement here.

This reminded him of the 'ground flow car' that Jingyan told him in the past.

A glimpse of the leopard in the tube can be seen.

From the traffic alone, Li Qi could see the prosperity of Chang'an.

Bustling, but well-organized and full of life.

Rules protect everyone, but do not restrict anyone's freedom.

The rule is to prevent you from being hurt by others, or you hurt others, within this range, you are free.

Or so to speak...

Rules bring freedom.

Wushen Mountain hardly sets too many rules and allows all things to develop, but the mortals in the Baiyue area have no freedom at all, and they are even in the feudal era.

Because, in the absence of rules and regulations, it is almost inevitable that social development will stagnate, but Wushenshan doesn't care, because this is also a part of nature.

A stone [-] million years ago is still a stone now.

Wushenshan will not deliberately carve this stone into a utensil, only when necessary.

"So that's how it is, that's how it is." Li Qi sighed.

He understood part of it.

These rules restrict the strong to allow the weak to obtain a certain degree of freedom.

The law enforcement forces prevent other ordinary people from committing crimes, and stronger surveillance forces stop the law enforcement forces, and then move closer to each other layer by layer.

All the way to the top ones, they restrain themselves and act as the ultimate restraint of all these rules.

In this way, layer by layer, the current social order has been formed.

Orderliness affords all the greatest liberty possible without violating the liberty of others.

The boundaries of freedom are regulated, as long as you don't infringe on other people's freedom, you are free.

Just like the traffic lane here, don't interfere with other people's driving, then you can drive however you want.

That's why I said that here, the rules that restrain people have brought freedom.

This greatly contributed to the generation of prosperity.

Soon, Dapeng followed the air passage, crossed a distance of hundreds of miles, and landed on 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 strange beasts, or magic weapons that cannot be shrunk are placed here, and there are special personnel patrolling to guard them. There are also things like surveillance probes around, and the eyes of magic weapons are patrolling.

It is very conspicuous and flashes, more like a warning than a surveillance.

Warn malicious people 'beware, there is surveillance here'.

Moreover, the surrounding decoration style is also very interesting.

No wonder in the past when we were in the small world of "earth oil world", it looked like a modern place with ancient style.

At that time, it was said that the earth and oil industry governed the world with "humane and evil methods".

Here is the super invincible advanced enhanced version of the earth oil world.

The surrounding decoration is quite ancient, but under the ancient style, it has an extremely advanced atmosphere.

Looking at the appearance alone, it is really called one: Yaoxuan cage and green front, group curtains and cloud screens, dew on the steps, and evening breeze under the forest.

But if you take a closer look, you can discover the advanced means and measures hidden under these ancient customs.

In the Tang Dynasty, wherever you see, there is no place that is not a magic weapon!
Yes, nowhere is it not.

The wall is, because the advertisement is still playing on the wall, promoting flying swords.

The road is, the road signs on the road are all dynamic, and they are 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 automatically watering, fertilizing and loosening the soil.

Even the floor tiles on the ground are magic weapons!
These floor tiles faintly form a huge array, connecting the entire parking lot.

The fluctuations transmitted by various spells filled the surroundings, as if radio waves filled the entire earth.

Everything seems to be automated.

Except that the aesthetic still maintains a certain classical oriental charm, the others have 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, the Dapeng said: "My lord, the people from Honglu Temple just communicated with me. He asked us to park here, and someone will come to welcome us."

"Communication? When?" Li Qi was stunned.

"When you want to enter and leave Chang'an, you have to go through inspections. At that time, they contacted me, just to wish you not to be disturbed, so I couldn't contact you in the cave, so I didn't say anything at that time."

"So that's it. It's okay. Anyway, it's normal for them to come to pick me up." Li Qi nodded and fell 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 with his actions, the nearby road signs were also changing in real time, adjusting their orientation according to his own path, pointing to the way out all the time.

That's right, the parking lot covers an area of ​​dozens of kilometers. If there is no guide, the monk can say that mortals will probably die in it.

Not long after walking, Li Qi saw a group of people wearing typical Tang costumes.

They were wearing...official uniforms.

There were six or seven people in total, and two of them led the team.

After seeing Li Qi, they speeded up and went to meet him.

Then, they slightly cupped their hands, without much respect, they just said to each other:
"The Celestial Dynasty, Chen Wei, the banquet order of the Dian Ke Department of Honglu Temple."

"Honglu Temple, a frequent visitor to the Concierge Court, Fang Yuanzheng."

"Come and welcome Master Wushenshan into the hall."
