Chapter 676: Adventure Journey
"Be careful, safety is paramount!" Li Shimin stepped forward and ordered.
Pang De bowed and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, if you feel unwell, the old slave will naturally take the initiative to land." Mohou, what do you say? ”
Merton naturally couldn't show his timidity, and said proudly: "That's nature. ”
"Have a nice trip, no, it's a windless ride!" Li Tai said sourly, he also wanted to experience the feeling of riding a hot air balloon, but unfortunately he couldn't get what he wanted this time.
"Loosen the cable!"
With Lu Ding's order, the ropes were loosened one by one, and the huge hot air balloon suddenly slowly left the ground.
Merton suddenly felt empty under his feet, as the hanging basket shook, Merton's center of gravity was unstable, and he hurriedly grabbed the hanging basket, in his past and present lives, if it was the first time he took a hot air balloon, the first time he felt that the soles of his feet did not land, and his heart was naturally panicked.
However, to Merton's surprise, Pound on the other side was extremely calm, his face did not change at all, he stood steadily on the hanging basket, and rhythmically controlled the fire-breathing valve.
With the flames in the air, the hot air balloon continued to rise, and the adrenaline in Merton's body surged suddenly, Merton could even hear his heartbeat clearly, and Pound on the other side also began to flush, after a while, the two of them only slightly adapted to the state of floating, and the two slowly subsided.
At this moment, they had the heart to look at the scenery from a high place, only to see that they had floated above the imperial city, and the panorama of the imperial city below was clearly visible.
"The old slave has lived in the imperial city all his life, and it is the first time he has seen the panorama of the imperial city!" Pound smacked his lips.
"It's truly beautiful!" Merton looked at Chang'an City, which looked like a chessboard below, and also admired.
When the two of them looked down, the entire Chang'an City was stunned and stunned at this huge rising sphere.
The hot air balloon was raised from the palace of the King of Wei, and the first thing to see was naturally the people of the imperial city.
"It's a hot air balloon!"
Li Tai was testing hot air balloons in the palace, and naturally informed the people in the palace in advance, in the harem, under the leadership of the eldest grandson, a group of warblers and warblers Yanyan couldn't help but look at the hot air balloon in front of them in shock, from their point of view, this hot air balloon was too big.
"Look, there's someone under the gondola!" A sharp-eyed Gong E suddenly pointed to the hanging basket and exclaimed, at this moment, the hot air balloon has just risen, and everyone can clearly see the figure above.
Empress Changsun suddenly panicked in her heart and said: "Come on, go and find out if King Wei boarded the hot air balloon!" ”
A palace lady immediately took the order to leave, and soon hurried back and said: "Qi Yu Niangniang, it is not the King of Wei who boarded the hot air balloon, but the Mohou and Pang Gonggong. ”
Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but look at Princess Changle on the side with concern.
Princess Changle shook her head and said, "Don't worry, since Merton dares to take a hot air balloon, he is naturally a little sure." ”
Princess Changle said it easily, but her clenched hands betrayed him, and her eyes stared at the huge lift-off.
too in the womb.
Li Chengqian also stared at the slowly rising hot air balloon, and couldn't help but show an inexplicable smile and said: "Fourth brother, you wrote the "Chronicles of the Earth", solved the mystery of the earthquake and the rain to make your father happy, but you don't know that the more secret techniques of the Mo family you use, the more you will be opposed by Confucianism, do you know that the court is still a powerful Confucian family!" ”
……………………
As the hot air balloon rises higher and higher, slowly the people of Chang'an City can gradually see the scene of the hot air balloon rising into the sky.
"The sheep fairy is back!"
In the meat market, a butcher who had killed a sheep fell to his knees again.
"What kind of sheep fairy reappeared, isn't this the hot air balloon that Mo Jiazi fiddled with at the beginning!"
Even after two years, the people of Chang'an still remember the Yangxian incident vividly, but this time it did not cause panic, just a strange thing to watch the excitement!
"It's so high! It's almost in the clouds, this is not a sheep fairy! The butcher, who had just gotten up, threw himself down and knelt down again.
When the other people saw the huge hot air balloon getting higher and smaller and smaller, the original firm belief in their hearts was not only shaken for a while.
"Mo boy, how tall is it!"
In the hanging basket, Pound said in a hoarse voice.
Merton looked at the hourglass on the hanging basket, estimated the time and speed, and said, "At least one hundred and fifty zhang." ”
One hundred and fifty zhang is about 500 meters in later generations, and although the speed of the hot air balloon is slow, the height of 500 meters is still very fast.
"Is there enough fuel?" Pound looked at the clouds above that were getting bigger and bigger, licked his lips, and said eagerly.
Merton checked the alcohol, nodded and said, "It's only used thirty percent!" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and immediately understood their respective meanings, after the initial adrenaline stimulation, now they have gradually begun to calm down, and they do not feel unwell, so naturally they will not stop taking off.
Pang De came with Li Shimin's order, how could he not find out, and Merton believed in Lu Ding's research results for nearly two years, if it was the hot air balloon made by Qin Huaiyu and the three of them two years ago, he would not dare to sit on it if he killed Merton.
"At least three hundred feet!"
As the hot air balloon continues to rise into the sky, the white clouds overhead are almost close at hand, and it seems to be within reach.
"The clouds are coming!" Pound said excitedly.
The primary purpose of their trip is what the clouds are, and the second is to see if there is a Lingxiao Treasure Hall above the clouds, a place for immortals, and when the clouds arrive, that is, the purpose of their trip is about to be achieved.
"This is the cloud!"
As the hot air balloon plunged headlong into the clouds, bursts of clouds and mist were floating beside the two, and in an instant, the breath of the two suddenly felt wet, and their eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with water droplets.
It was also the first time Merton had reached such a height, and he was in the clouds himself, as if in a fog, and his heart felt a pang of wonder.
"Sure enough, it's water vapor!" Pound wiped the condensed drops on his eyebrows, not knowing whether he was happy or regretful.
Since Li Tai and Morton can confirm that the clouds are water mist on the ground, then I am afraid that the immortal theory is also illusory.
When the hot air balloon continued to rise and break through the clouds, they saw a strong beam of sunlight shining directly, and the two looked around, only to see the clouds rolling and undulating, but empty, and the whole sky was still blue, and the sky was clear.
"Ink boy,......" Pound opened his interfering lips and looked at Merton, as if he wanted to continue to rise into the air.
Merton shook his head and said, "Our mission has been completed, and it is enough to explain to Your Majesty and King Wei, and this hot air balloon is just a preliminary finished product, and it is not enough to continue to rise." And we shouldn't stay here too long. ”
Pound nodded with interest, looking at the tumbling clouds with regret.
Merton understands the mood of those who believe in the theory of immortals, and now personally verifies the illusion of immortals, and now controls the fire to decrease, and soon the floating power of the hot air balloon weakens, and slowly begins to fall.
When the hot air balloon pierces back into the clouds once again, the adventure is finally coming to an end.
