I am a fairy in the world of mortals

Chapter 131 Like the Stars and Moon ()

As soon as the unitary hour arrived, the bells rang in the palace, and the palace door directly leading to the star-catching platform was slowly opened.

The courtiers, nobles, and their relatives who had been waiting at the door for a long time were holding gifts carefully selected for many days. They lined up and entered the palace gate in a tacit agreement according to official position, grade, title, and size.

The three brothers Li Lang, who had carefully dressed up and put on white monk robes, were also mixed in the crowd, and entered the palace gate along with the flow of people.

A straight and transparent road stretches right under your feet to the end of the light.

People walking on this road are like pilgrims.

And when you look up and suddenly see the star-catching platform, it is truly a pilgrimage.

Li Bai said: "The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands."

It may be that he drank too much and had hallucinations. In fact, even on the top of the plateau, looking up at the stars, they were only more conspicuous without light pollution.

But the Star Reaching Platform can really capture the stars.

The stars are as big as a bucket, hanging behind the high platform that towers into the sky, and a huge full moon is almost level with the star-catching platform.

Tonight's banquet, the stars and the moon have arrived, only the guests are waiting.

"It's strange, why didn't I see such a high tower outside the palace?" Xue Qing said curiously.

Although everything that cannot be explained can be explained by supernatural powers, sometimes people can't help but be curious and ask more questions.

I didn't expect an answer, but I saw a young man wearing a light green official uniform saying: "Except for the annual Star and Moon Banquet, the Star Reaching Platform is usually hidden using the hidden light technique, in order to avoid the imperial guards. People in the Heavenly Prison can take advantage of the high platform to peer into the palace, which can also better attract the light of the sky and help the people in the Heavenly Prison understand the changes in the world."

The Star Reaching Platform is the daily workplace of Qin Tianjian. It is only open to the public during the annual Banquet of Stars and Moon.

"My Excellency Xiao Chuqi, now serves in the Ministry of Rites!" The young man then announced his identity.

Li Lang and the three of them also said their Dharma names one after another.

After communicating their registration numbers to each other, the four of them naturally walked together. Along the way, the young people kept talking about the origin of the Star Reaching Platform.

For example, it was built during the reign of Emperor Heng, how many years ago, how much it cost, how much effort it took on people and money, etc.

The vague meaning is very obvious.

After the Queen ascended the throne, stepping on the dim-witted Emperor Heng in his "late years" was a kind of correctness in the Daqian court.

At the same time, this tireless slander has another meaning.

After all, although there have been only three emperors since the founding of the Daqian Kingdom, the first two did not abdicate due to natural death or voluntarily abdicated.

With such a past situation, it is inevitable that people will worry that in the future, this queen will also end up betrayed and separated from her relatives.

Constantly using the events of the ancestors as a warning, many ministers expressed their love for the emperor.

When we reached the foot of the star-catching platform and looked up again, we could no longer see the top of this tall tower.

Many people who come here for the first time can’t help but look up and look again and again.

Li Lang's performance was dull. Apart from adding a mysterious color, at least from the outside, it was not much different from the tall buildings with dozens or hundreds of floors.

"The Star Reaching Platform has a total height of ninety-nine floors, but there are no windows or doors in the middle section. There is only a terrace on the top."

"During the construction, half a million kilograms of star sand was mixed into the molten iron, either poured into beams, or driven into the ground and into giant stones for stability. During the construction process, there was also a lot of practice He continued to strengthen it with magical powers, making it integrated and connected to the earth's veins. To this day, it is like this platform, growing naturally from the ground."

"It is said that there are no mountains in the plains above the eight hundred miles, but I, Da Qian, built such a star-catching mountain in the palace." Xiao Chuqi, Li Lang and others sat on the Feiyun Ladder that went straight to the top. , said even more excitedly.

It can be seen that he actually participated in the Banquet of Stars and Moon in the first year. Star sand is an extremely strong and tough spiritual mineral that is often used to make magic weapons, at least weapons that can kill practitioners.

Star sand is used in many places in the army.

A large number of arrows, spears, etc., containing a certain amount of star sand, attacked together, and even the powerful ones did not dare to ignore them.

Star sand has a certain magic-breaking effect.

"A closed building mixed with a large amount of star sand is more like a prison." Li Lang thought to himself.

In less than half the time it took to burn the incense, we had already reached the top of the star-catching platform.

At this time, there was already a masterpiece of rituals and music on the terrace. The festive lanterns hung high, but a long string of them danced wildly in the wind, and they were never dropped or extinguished.

There are many people walking around on the terrace, forming small circles and communicating. Everyone has a reserved smile on their face, without any sadness. Looking at the expressions on these people's faces, it seems that they can It makes people feel that the weather this year is still smooth and the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

Envoys from various small countries also participated in the banquet.

They looked at all of this humbly and respectfully, and from time to time gave a flattering smile to the 'big men' in the court.

The most important thing about being a neighbor to a big country is knowledge.

The territories are bordering each other, and the national strength is far inferior. These small countries have no reason to be annexed by Daqian, or they are located in barren areas and have tasteless food.

Either the terrain is complex and the environment is harsh, so sending a large army to conquer would not be worth the gain.

This allowed these small countries to survive around Daqian.

Even so, there are still many ways to control them.

No matter how much reluctance and resentment these envoys from small countries harbor in private, at this moment they all have to cooperate and sing the praises of the prosperous era of Daqian.

Li Lang glanced around and spotted Tianshan Yue among a group of maids responsible for serving tea and water.

Everyone else was dressing up as beautifully as possible, but she used some means to cover up her beauty a little, so that she looked on par with the overall level.

"Is the messenger mixed in here?"

"Is it a small amount of normal defense, or is it a deliberate plan, just waiting for the cup to be thrown as a sign?" Li Lang thought to himself, his eyes not lingering on Tianshan Yue's body.

The closer he got to the empty Kowloon Golden Chair, the duller the surrounding sounds and air became.

The air pressure also seems to be lower than other places.

However, the seats are much wider, with single seats for one person and a certain gap between the two seats.

Unlike the officials and nobles who were further back, they were almost all crowded together.

Although Li Lang and the others have no rank and no position, they attended the banquet as 'Buddhist representatives' at this Xingyue Banquet.

Therefore, they were all arranged closer to the dragon throne, probably mixed in with the third-rank officials, which aroused a lot of jealousy.

Xue Qing felt a little on pins and needles when faced with a large number of sights.

Xuemang closed his eyes slightly, as if he was wandering in the sky.

Li Lang was a little worried at first, but after seeing the performance of the two senior brothers, he had to hold up the scene no matter what, so he asked an older-looking third-rank official next to him: "Dare I ask, singing and dancing?" What time does the performance start?"
