After the Fairy Disappeared - Chapter 553
Chapter 553 First Arrival of Spirit Deficiency
“Climb to the top of Wolong Dam, and you will be able to see Lingxu City.”
Revisiting the old place many years later, Fu Shanyue raised his whip and pointed forward, not without emotion.
He must use his strength to speak, otherwise he will be overwhelmed by the sound of the roaring water, and no one can hear him clearly.
A group of more than a hundred people walked on the embankment by the Wolong River.
The river is surging, but after entering the “Z” terrain, the caliber is greatly narrowed to more than 110 feet, so the waves are furious, rushing down the fault, and creating a waterfall with a drop of more than 20 feet.
From a distance, the waterfall is like a wide curtain.
Close to the Wolong Dam by the river, it is full of water vapor at any time. He Lingchuan, riding on the back of a blue sheep, can still feel the trembling caused by the raging waves hitting the dam.
At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and two rainbows were reflected on the water.
This is the Yingbin Waterfall in Lingxu City.
No matter who comes here, first take a bite of Mawei and feel how small you are.
Beqah’s road is always wide and flat.
Without much effort, everyone climbed to the crest of Wolong Dam with the mighty passenger flow.
Even after hearing many introductions from Fu Shanyue and Shao Jian, the first sight of Lingxu City still made He Lingchuan startled.
Is this the number one spiritual city in the world?
He thought he had approached the landscape of Guilin. Let’s say it’s a plain. Countless strange peaks and rocks seem to be cut off from the top of the mountain by an invisible force and transplanted to the flat ground. Therefore, there are small hills everywhere, exquisite, weird, and pictorial. People don’t have to climb the top. You can see all the small mountains at a glance and enjoy the scenery of dangerous peaks.
Let’s say it’s hills. The open space between the mountains is obviously very flat. Countless buildings have risen from the ground, and countless streams and rivers have twists and turns.
Coming to this world, He Lingchuan saw the endless city for the first time.
Other city-states are surrounded by farmland; but here, as far as the eye can see, there are either green forests or buildings.
It was also the first time for He Lingchuan to see a city without gates and walls.
In the words of Bai Ziqi:
“Lingxu City does not need a protective wall.”
If the above scenery is still a normal city, but the area is a little bigger, then what He Lingchuan saw when he looked up was far beyond ordinary people’s perception:
There are seven mountain peaks floating in the sky, high and low, large and small.
The lowest one is only sixty or seventy feet above the ground, but the tallest one is already in the clouds.
Each mountain peak does not reach the sky or descend to the ground, but stands still in the mid-air. The mountains are verdant and verdant, and there are countless waterfalls and flowing springs.
Today, the white clouds come out of Xiu, and they all flow between the Fukong peaks.
By the side of Qingfeng Baishui, you can see Qionglou Yuyu hidden. I often hear the fairy music of bells and chimes, floating down the world with the wind.
Magnificent, majestic, and mysterious, the same is true of the ancient fairy style.
He Lingchuan went through life and death several times, and his experience far exceeds that of ordinary people, but he was still greatly shocked when he saw this kind of psychic scene for the first time.
Not to mention the other travelers, gasps and admiration were endless.
Fu Shanyue explained to He Lingchuan: “The seven floating islands are collectively called the upper city of Lingxu; the city on the ground you see is the lower city of Lingxu. The royal city palace, which is the residence of the emperor, is located on the highest floating island. Sky Island, Tianxin Island, is called Lingxiao Palace.”
As the most powerful emperor in the world, he naturally has to be condescending and look down on all living beings.
He Lingchuan was full of admiration: “If it is said that an island is the first heaven, the emperor lives in the seventh heaven, overlooking the weather of Huanghuang.”
Bai Ziqi smiled and said: “This statement won the heart of the emperor.”
“Such a majestic Lingcheng, it really deserves to be number one in the world.” Flattering doesn’t require money, so He Lingchuan came as soon as he opened his mouth.
He has done a background check, and the foundation of Lingxu City is the former site of the Great Return. In other words, the blessed land of Lingshan in front of me was originally the territory of the immortal family, but it was later taken over by Beijia, and after several expansions, today’s Lingxu Upper and Lower City came into being.
In addition to the main city in the middle, Lingxu Lower City also includes four surrounding auxiliary cities, with a permanent population of more than seven million.
The seven floating islands in the upper city of Lingxu have less than 9,000 residents, and if you count the servants and servants, there are 200,000 people.
Even though he had already heard the answer from Shao Jian, He Lingchuan still had to ask knowingly at this time: “Excuse me, Baidushi. The floating islands are not connected to each other. How can the residents get through?”
Before Bai Ziqi answered, Fu Shanyue laughed loudly: “Within the magic weapon, we can naturally communicate with each other.”
He deliberately didn’t mention this mystery in advance, just to shock He Xiao. This guy always looks calm and looks irritating.
“Dharma artifact?” He Lingchuan really showed a dazed expression.
Bai Ziqi patiently explained: “Going to the city of Lingxu is itself a magic weapon!”
Jiao Yu on the side was stunned for a long time, and He Lingchuan lost his voice: “These seven floating islands…”
“Yes, the seven floating islands, together with the red-embellished peak in the middle of Lingxu Lower City, are combined into a complete set of magic weapons, which is probably unrivaled in the world.” It would be hard for anyone to believe it if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes. There will be such a huge magic weapon in the world!
Opening the eyes of these country bumpkins, Bai Ziqi couldn’t help but take on a proud tone: “The internal system of the magic weapon is self-contained. The ground and the floating island, and between the floating island and the floating island can be freely teleported regardless of the distance. Hongdu’.”
Even if He Lingchuan had already established himself mentally, he couldn’t make a sound at this time.
If you were an ordinary person, you would probably have to worship from your heart at this time.
In fact, as soon as he turned his head, he could see that many travelers who came over the dam were kneeling on the side of the road, muttering prayers to the floating island in mid-air, and bowing to the ground.
At least he can’t do this step, his knees are too hard to kneel down.
After a long time, he asked softly: “How many mysterious crystals do you need to consume every day for such a huge magic weapon?”
That’s the point! He felt overwhelmed taking care of a gold-armored guard by himself. The energy consumed by such a huge magic weapon in the upper city of Lingxu could make the gold-swallowing beast commit suicide in shame, right?
Bai Ziqi smiled and said: “The base of the upper city of Lingxu is a hanging stone, which is not a thing of this world. ‘Jinghongdu’, depending on the number of people and goods coming in and out, will consume more than 500 catties of low-grade Xuanjing every day, and there is no upper limit.”
Extravagant, too extravagant.
Waste, what a waste!
He Lingchuan thought of the three mysterious crystals on his body, and risked his life to investigate the case, only to get them from Fu Shanyue.
What an ignorant bumpkin, I should have asked for more in the first place! Considering the muddy water he was wading in now, three hundred yuan was not too much.
Looking at Sun Fuping again, until his death in the Panlong Desert, there were only a few middle-grade Xuanjing in his belongings.
That is still the national teacher of a country.
Who would have imagined that Lingxu Shangcheng consumed more than 500 catties of low-grade Xuanjing every day, just to pay for transportation expenses.
Looking at the emotion on his face, Fu Shan became more satisfied:
“Go, go into the city.”
Bai Ziqi also smiled and said nothing.
No matter how clever and quick-witted this young man is, he was born in a small country after all, so how can his vision and experience match that of a real Lingxu City native?
¥¥¥¥¥¥
Looking at Lingxu City from a distance, it feels huge. When people walk in, they realize that they are like dripping water into the sea, and there is a vast expanse in front of them.
The four auxiliary cities are the four major districts. After Bai Ziqi led people into the Nanli District, he waved goodbye to Fu Shanyue.
He wanted to **** the prisoner to the prison, and then rushed to Xushan in the north to report on his duties before dark. The schedule was very urgent. Fortunately, there were people picking up and dropping off Du Yunshi along the way, and at this moment, a horse-drawn carriage stopped.
Prisoners got into the car, and Du Yunshi and his men rode away in an instant.
He Lingchuan also noticed that Bai Ziqi’s mount, Linglu, had a light gold plate hanging around his neck, and the horses and chariots nearby gave way to him. Fu Shanyue explained that this is an “emergency order” for public servants’ cars. Only with this order can they drive at full speed on the main road in the lower city of Lingxu.
Even if it is an auxiliary city, the main road can accommodate eight carriages in parallel. But the passenger flow in Lingxu City is too large, the main road is full of traffic, and there are hardly any gaps. If there is no emergency order, everyone can only drive in order.
He Lingchuan looked at Fu Shanyue: “Don’t say you didn’t have an emergency order.”
After entering the city for a short time, he saw two or three groups of people with urgent orders, galloping on the main road, and everyone avoided them for fear of being late.
Those are all young princes in fresh clothes and angry horses, leading a group of servants to crowd forward and back, laughing and laughing, they are not like business people at all.
Fu Shanyue smiled, took out a sign from the storage ring, and hung it under the neck of the mount: “There must be one, sir!”
He Lingchuan shook his head, the bighorn sheep let go of its four hooves without his urging, and followed Fu Shanyue through the traffic flow.
There is often a pack beast galloping along the road:
White-tailed ant.
This is actually a giant moose, with plate-shaped prongs on its head, nearly eight feet high at the shoulders, and particularly well-developed back muscles.
He Lingchuan often sees two white-tailed cats driving side by side, and the carriage is also a special long section, with a hook at the back, which can obviously be added.
Every few hundred feet, there is a green wooden sign on the side of the road, with the place name written in white characters on it.
Beside the sign, there are often dull and expressionless civilians standing.
If there is someone waiting beside the wooden sign, Baiwei An will stop and wait for someone to get on the bus. A full carriage can carry twenty-three people.
Uh… He Lingchuan was taken aback for a moment, isn’t this just public transportation?
He pointed to the deer driveway: “Anyone can ride on this?”
“It’s fine to give money, but you have to squeeze a car with strangers, and there will be a car passing by in about a quarter of an hour.” Fu Shanyue glanced at it, not surprised, “It’s convenient for the mud legs to go out to work, they all leave early Return late.”
The white-tailed trolley only runs on a fixed route and does not require an additional driver. But deer carts only pass through the same city, if you want to go to the main city of Lingxu or other auxiliary cities, you have to transfer.
It was going to be dark at this moment, He Lingchuan observed casually, and found that the deer carts on the road were almost full, and those who couldn’t sit had to squeeze or stand.
Fortunately, the moose has great strength and good endurance, so it is not a problem to overload a dozen people.
For a huge city, an important part of planning and design is public transportation. If there is no such deer cart, how can migrant workers move across places conveniently?
Seven million permanent residents, plus countless migrants, are always testing the carrying capacity of a city.
