Chapter 246 Traffic

Tang Kingdom has arrived.

Li Qi was very excited!

He had been looking forward to Tang Kingdom for a long time!

Wushen Mountain is quite peaceful, just like Wudao itself. Everyone does their own thing and does not disturb each other. If there is something, they will communicate with each other.

Let nature take its course and maintain the laws of the natural operation of the universe. That's all.

But humanity is not like this.

What humanity pursues is change.

Innovating every day, pursuing a better future all the time.

Li Qi hugged Shen Shuibi and murmured:

"Humanity is multifaceted and has rules everywhere. It induces people with benevolence and righteousness, restrains people with punishment, and unifies the whole country and aligns the people."

The Way of Reason and the Dao Sect all have some Dao veins that follow humanity, and they even break with the original Dao. It is enough to show that humanity is actually very attractive.

However, Li Qi has not seen it with his own eyes, so it is still difficult to understand.

The humanity he has seen in the past is more like tyranny than humanity.

Although it was grand and magnificent, it was merciless, crushing all the disobedients with terrifying and incomparable brute force. There was no reason to talk, either surrender or die.

There was no other choice.

But he also knew that humanity was not that simple, so he wanted to see it with his own eyes.

Li Qi studied abroad at the Imperial College, which was located in Chang'an.

This was...

Chang'an.

The center of humanity outside the endless realm of the heavens and the world, where the emperor of humanity sat.

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

"Huh? What's wrong, Shuibi?" Li Qi asked.

Shen Shuibi's ears drooped down, and she trembled all over, as if she was still not used to this name.

But she quickly cheered up and said, "Be careful, I haven't been here before... I'm not familiar with human places, but Tangguo is very domineering and doesn't like to listen to people talking."

"Don't worry, the people from the Honglu Temple will come to pick us up, and Tangguo won't let us get into trouble." Li Qi nodded, comforted the rabbit, then stroked the rabbit's fur and pulled its tail.

It was really long when it was pulled out.

Shen Shuibi shrank into a ball and stopped him from making trouble.

The big peng bird also gradually shrank its body and stood on the edge of its wings. Li Qi gradually saw that the scenery in front of him began to become clear.

The clouds in the sky dissipated, and the cave on the back of the big peng was completely hidden. The whole peng shrank to only a few meters of wingspan, which was only enough for Li Qi to stand alone.

At this time, the big peng spoke.

She said in a gentle female voice:

"Sir, we came in a hurry and have no one to accompany us. I will also go back to report to the Great Master. I am afraid that there will be four or five days in between. You are the only two in Chang'an... Be careful."

"Don't worry, senior, we have known these things for a long time. It will only take three or five days, so it won't be a problem." Li Qi smiled. He knew about this a long time ago.

It's normal. He didn't set out with the main force after preparing the mission.

But after robbing Shen Shuibi, he was afraid that the Great Master would come back and hang him up and beat him, so he hurried out to seek refuge.

Even the Great Masters couldn't say anything about studying in the Tang Kingdom, and could only stare at Li Qi.

Hearing this, the rabbit rolled himself into a ball, with his head and tail facing down, pretending that he was just a ball of hair.

"Sir, it's good that you have a plan in mind. We are here." The Great Peng circled in the air and then slowly landed on the ground.

The ground... is a big city.

Li Qi looked far away, but he couldn't find the boundaries of Chang'an.

Just like the Wushen Mountain covers tens of thousands of miles, Chang'an's area is not so exaggerated, but it has easily reached the level of ten thousand miles, right?

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

But the area is much smaller than he imagined.

Ten thousand miles in length and breadth, probably the size of Australia in the previous life.

Calculated, it is seven or eight million square kilometers, a little less than the Celestial Empire and a little larger than the United States.

A city that can be so huge is already very terrifying.

But, it always feels that it is still a little bit lacking?

As if seeing Li Qi's doubts, the big roc smiled and said: "Young master, don't worry, just like the Wushen Mountain in the world, Chang'an in the world is just the center and the 'gateway'."

Gateway?

Li Qi suddenly realized.

That's it.

The big roc continued to fly down and broke through the Gangfeng layer.

Right here, the prosperity is prominent.

There are countless flying machines all around. Most of these flying machines cannot break through the gale layer, but they are enough to fly here.

Each flying machine has different characteristics. Some are flying mounts like Li Qi, and strange beasts.

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

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

Track-like magic passages run through it, strictly regulating the route.

There are also flying roads for flying, with longitude and latitude divided, and the tracks are opened. There are many but not chaotic, and each flies within its own range.

Li Qi is the same. Dapeng seems to know the "traffic rules" here, and is moving along a windless road constructed by magic. Such rules allow so many flying machines to run in an orderly manner!

The speed is not slow, and it will not collide with others.

Li Qi could see that there were even countless ordinary people who were not in the rank. Although they had cultivation, they were not in the rank. However, they took the same public transportation as many people with ranks.

Some even bought their own flying machines.

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

Really, countless...

A giant river that was probably 800 miles wide passed through the entire Chang'an. From this giant river, countless small rivers spread out around it, forming a water network that spread to the entire Chang'an.

These water networks seemed to have been carefully planned to ensure that each place had sufficient penetration, becoming the second transportation network of the city.

What a great river! The Hong River was vast, with no source in the front and no destination in the back. It enveloped Kunwei and connected to Taimeng.

You could only see the foam in it, the boundless south, the boundless north, the lush water lilies, and the exotic birds living on it, gathering in groups. Countless people took boats, or rode on turtles and tortoises, wearing flowers and purple and red, and traveling on the river in response to festivals.

Li Qi even saw many dragons! These dragons carried the palace on their backs and floated above the Dadu. There were people drinking and having fun in the palace, and music was lingering.

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

On land, there were different cars, or other land-based magic weapons, and strange beasts were among them.

According to the planned roads, these vehicles and magic weapons and strange beasts were running on the roads, and some could even come to certain take-off points, fly into the air, or go down to the water.

There were also some air and water transportation tools that could land on the ground, each with different processes.

There were so many transportation tools alone that it was unknown how many, and hundreds of millions of people traveled in this city, but they followed some strange and mysterious rules, which made all these warps and wefts ready, and they became organized, well-organized, and not a bit messy.

This was just transportation.

The buildings below were even more amazing.

The flying buildings were lined up with mountains, and the long distance was entrusted to him.

The towering Jieyun Pavilion was planted with sacred trees and spiritual herbs.

There are thousands of changes, different shapes and different conditions, the yin beams flow north, and the yang birds fly south.

The Guanguan spiritual pillars, the magnificent camphor trees, the hundreds of pillars lean against each other, and the thousands of cypresses stand for branches!

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

Roads will also extend from these residential buildings, like overpasses composed of rooftops, and vehicles on the ground below can also drive up.

These overpasses are connected to each other, forming a three-dimensional transportation network, but there are no pedestrians, only transportation tools.

Complex, but orderly.

Through some traffic rules, hundreds of millions of vehicles travel through this city that covers an area as large as Australia on Earth.

Li Qi suspected that there was even underground transportation, because he could feel the ground energy surging in the ground veins.

This is a warning of earthquakes in the Baiyue area, but here there is no movement at all.

This reminded him of the "ground flow car" that Jing Yan had told him in the past.

A glimpse of the leopard in the tube can reveal a glimpse of it.

Just from these traffic, Li Qi can see the prosperity of Chang'an.

Prosperous, but well-organized and full of vitality.

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

Rules are to prevent you from being hurt, or you hurt others. Within this range, you are free.

Or you can say that...

Rules bring freedom.

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

Because, without the constraints of rules, social development will almost inevitably stagnate, but Wushen Mountain does not care, because this is also part of nature.

A stone from 100 million years ago is still a stone now.

Wushen Mountain will not deliberately carve this stone into an instrument, only when it is needed.

"I see, I see." Li Qi sighed.

He understood part of it.

These rules constrain the strong to allow the weak to gain a certain degree of freedom.

The law enforcement forces prevented other ordinary people from doing evil, and the stronger monitoring forces stopped the law enforcement forces, and then moved up layer by layer.

All the way to the top of the first rank, they restrained themselves and served as the ultimate constraint of all these rules.

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

It was well-organized, allowing everyone to obtain the maximum freedom they could get without infringing on the freedom of others.

The boundaries of freedom were regulated, as long as you don't infringe on the freedom of others, you are free.

Just like the traffic lanes here, you don't affect other people's driving, then you can drive whatever you want.

That's why it is said that here, the rules that bind people have brought freedom.

This has greatly promoted the generation of prosperity.

Soon, Dapeng followed the air passage, crossed hundreds of miles, and landed in 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 exotic beasts or magic weapons that cannot be shrunk are placed here, and there are special people patrolling and guarding them. There are also things like surveillance cameras around, which are like the eyes of magic weapons patrolling.

They are made very conspicuous and flashing, which is more like a warning than a surveillance.

Warn those with bad intentions, ‘Be careful, there is surveillance here’.

Moreover, the surrounding decoration style is also very interesting.

No wonder that in the past, when we were in the small world of the "Geo Oil World", we had that ancient style with a modern look.

At that time, it was said that the Earthly Oil World was governed by ‘humane and evil laws’.

Here is the super invincible advanced enhanced version of the geooil world.

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

Just looking at the appearance, it really looks like this: Yaoxuan is surrounded by a green screen, the screen is covered with clouds, the morning dew is on the steps, and the evening breeze is clear under the forest.

But if you look closely, you can find the advanced methods and measures hidden under these ancient customs.

In the Tang Dynasty, everywhere you look, there is no place that is not a magic weapon!

Yes, there is no place where it is not.

The wall is, because there are still advertisements playing on the wall, promoting flying swords.

The road was on, and the road signs on the road were all dynamic and 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 watered and fertilized to loosen the soil.

Even the tiles on the ground are magic weapons!

These floor tiles faintly formed a huge array, connecting the entire parking lot.

Waves transmitted by various spells filled the surroundings, just like radio waves filled the entire earth.

Everything seems to be automated.

Except that the aesthetic still maintains a certain classical oriental charm, the rest has 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, Dapeng said: "Sir, the people from Honglu Temple just communicated with me. He asked us to park here and someone will come to greet us."

"Communicated? When?" Li Qi was stunned.

"Every time you want to enter or leave Chang'an, you have to go through a review. When they contacted me at that time, they just wanted to avoid disturbing you, so I couldn't contact you in the cave, so I didn't speak at that time."

"I see, it's okay. It's normal for them to pick me up anyway." Li Qi nodded and got 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 as he moved, nearby road signs were changing in real time, adjusting their orientation according to his path, pointing to the way out at all times.

Also, if there is no way to guide the parking lot that covers an area of ​​dozens of kilometers, the monks can say that ordinary people will probably die in it.

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

They were wearing... official uniforms.

There were six or seven people in total, with two leading the team.

After seeing Li Qi, they sped up and rushed towards him.

Then, they slightly cupped their hands, without much respect, and just said to each other:

"In the Celestial Dynasty, Chen Wei, the banquet chief of Honglu Temple Dianke Office."

"Honglu Temple, a frequent visitor to the Concierge Hall, has a square and round shape."

"Come to welcome Mr. Wu Shenshan into the palace."
