Chapter 31: Chang'an
Chen Qingshan knew that Chang'an was very large, but he didn't expect Chang'an to be so big, and the entire Chang'an City, from south to north, was close to more than 5,000 miles.
And Chang'an has no city walls, because the entire Chang'an city is still growing outward.
A big star hangs outside Chang'an City, which is the same source as Chen Qingshan's knowledge of the sea, that is, the second month of Chang'an.
Based on the second moon in the sky, countless white star tracks were established on it, like the tentacles of the gods, connecting to all parts of Chang'an City, and on the star tracks were all kinds of magic boats.
In ordinary times, Chang'an residents travel, and what they sit on is this star rail boat.
At the same time, these star tracks and the second moon are also part of the Great Array of Chang'an City, and this array, No. 33 Heaven, is a legendary formation that can resist immortals, but since the day Chang'an City was built, no one has seen these 33 Heavenly Array.
There are many major repairs in Chang'an, that is, there are no less than 100 pavilion elders in the Heavenly Academy, not to mention the Yasheng in the Shengyan Academy, and the master of the Heavenly Prison who lives in the highest building in Chang'an, Mingyue Tower.
And it is rumored that there is a lake in the imperial city, and in the lake, there is a Zhenguo Xuanwu who sleeps.
In front of the Jinluan Palace, there is a tripod worshiped on the white jade square, this tripod, called Kyushu. Kyushu Ding is not among the 100 soldiers, but it is a genuine immortal weapon.
And its function is to suppress Datang luck, because Datang luck cannot be suppressed if it is not an immortal weapon.
As for how much heritage this Tang Dynasty still hires, no one knows except His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
Chen Qingshan longed for Chang'an, but when he arrived in Chang'an, but after seeing the real Chang'an City, he only felt that he was too small.
At this time, the snow also fell in Chang'an City, and Chen Qingshan wanted to meet the Holy Emperor, but it would take a few days, and the day he met the Holy Emperor was Laba.
On that day, His Majesty the Holy Emperor would meet with hundreds of officials in the cabinet, which was also one of the few days in a year when His Majesty the Holy Emperor appeared in public.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was no saying that the dynasty was in power, and the usual government affairs were handled by the prince and the Qin minister.
As for His Majesty the Holy Emperor, he has always lived a simple life, no one knows what His Majesty is doing, and no one dares to ask, but he only knows that His Majesty the Holy Emperor has something to do with Taoism.
After entering Chang'an, there were still some days in Laba, Chen Qingshan was idle, and at the same time, Chen Qingshan also inquired about the whereabouts of the monk and Mrs. Peach Blossom through the relationship between the thirteen princes.
The two of them were not imprisoned in Dali Temple, but in Shengyan Academy, the reason is that this monk is too strong, and even if the Dali Temple is at the peak of the Seven Realms, he can't hold it down.
Therefore, the monk was escorted to the Shengyan Academy with Yasheng in charge, and stayed in Laba, waiting for His Majesty the Holy Emperor to leave the customs and personally send it down.
It is said that he is imprisoned, but Yasheng promised that anyone who does not leave the Shengyan Academy can do so, and as for the academy, the monk can move freely.
Therefore, these days, there is an extra monk who can use a sword in Shengyan Academy, and there are often Confucian students from the academy who go to ask him about the sword.
And the monk was also very patient and answered all questions from Confucian students, so he became an extremely special existence in the academy.
On this day, Chen Qingshan and the four of them were going to Shengyan Academy, firstly, to meet Monk Fan, and secondly, Ah Lan wanted to worship in Shengyan Academy.
Even if Huang Lingxu found out that Ah Lan was not dead, he could no longer force Ah Ran, and he couldn't find his grandfather, so Ah Lan could only find another way.
As long as Ah Lan reads some books in Shengyan Academy, when the strength of the Naqi Mountain Snake recovers, Ah Lan's strength will naturally increase.
Although Chang'an has no city walls, it is also divided into the inner city and the outer city, most of the people in the outer city are ordinary people, and the inner city is naturally the home of those princes and nobles, eunuchs, and the center of the inner city, which is naturally the imperial city.
And Shengyan Academy is next to the imperial city, accounting for nearly one-fifth of the land in the inner city, so the area of Shengyan Academy is also very large, almost comparable to the state capital of a state.
Chen Qingshan and the four of them live in the outer city, and if they want to enter the inner city, they have to take the magic boat on the star track. There is no charge for taking the magic boat on this star track, and it is subsidized by the imperial court.
Not far from where Chen Qingshan and others lived, there was a place to take the Dharma boat, and these small Dharma boats also had names, called White Birds.
And the magic boat with the most on the star track is the white bird, above the white bird, there are streamers, Tissot, and the sun.
Tissot, streamer, above the sun, is not called a magic boat, but a warship. The most famous warship in Datang is called Golden Scale, which is a battleship of Daruo City.
The golden scales are now in the East China Sea, and the drinking canal was opened by the golden scales, and a drinking canal was created on the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
The white bird was very small and could only accommodate four people, while Chen Qingshan and his party were exactly four people.
The white bird resembles a small egg, with a pointed tip and small wings behind it.
There was a seat in the white bird, and after Chen Qingshan and the four of them sat down, the white bird started, flew into the star track, and became a forward horizontal line, and there were many such lines next to it.
Chen Qingshan sat down in the White Bird Boat, and was amazed, after all, he came from a small water collection town, and he usually walked half a pillar of incense from the east of the town to the west of the town. In Chang'an, from the south of the city to the north of the city, he had to take a magic boat, and this was also Chen Qingshan's first time taking a magic boat.
The white bird flew into the star track, and Chen Qingshan suddenly realized that the candlelight in the sea was active, as if something was emerging from the white bird, and then it was submerged in the candlelight, and the originally dim candlelight had traces of recovery.
"It's the Shadow." Chen Qingshan instantly realized that the foundation of all the star tracks in Chang'an City, the second moon glow of Chang'an City, was feeding back the candlelight.
The maintenance of this star orbit, including the urging of the Dharma Boat on it, depends on the second month of Chang'an.
Chen Qingshan only felt that the shadow in his eyes was constantly getting bigger and bigger, until it occupied Chen Qingshan's entire pupil.
It was clear that the shadow was hanging high outside the city, but Chen Qingshan felt that he was closer than ever.
With the feedback of the ghostly glow, the candlelight in Chen Qingshan's sea of knowledge brightened again.
It's just that with the absorption of the candlelight, the magic boats on the star track have slowed down, and the reason is that the power provided by the shadow is not enough.
Not only the white bird that Chen Qingshan was riding, but also the other magic boats on the star track next to him also slowed down.
"What's going on?" Ah Lan looked at the white bird, and felt a little strange, when she was a child, she and her grandfather stayed in Chang'an for a while, and also rode the white bird, and there was never such a situation.
"I don't know." And the culprit next to him, Chen Qingshan, did not blush on the surface, and his heart did not beat. In fact, he was a little anxious in his heart, because he didn't know if all the magic boats on this star track were stopped, whether it would attract people from the government.
Chen Qingshan hurriedly controlled the candle light, trying to make it stop, but the candlelight became more and more active, and he sucked it hard, and the candle light brightened, and then, Chen Qingshan found that the white bird magic boat stopped directly.
Naturally, it was not only the one that Chen Qingshan and they were riding on, but also other magic boats on other star tracks, and the number of these magic boats together was close to 100,000.
"It's over, it's over." Chen Qingshan shouted in his heart, and some people in the Dharma Boat next to him had already begun to scold, and even more monks above the Five Realms flew out of the Dharma Boat and looked at it suspiciously.
Then, the faces of the monks who flew above the star track changed, because they found that the star track was crumbling and had a tendency to collapse.
Chen Qingshan's face turned white, if this star track collapsed, his crime might be much more serious than that Lady Peach Blossom stealing the jade cup.
"Damn, I'm here to save people, not to go to jail!" Chen Qingshan shouted at Candlelight in the sea of knowledge.
And the candlelight is still happy, without the slightest hint of Chen Qingshan's trend.
Dozens of star tracks over Chang'an City are about to collapse, which is something that Datang has never heard of since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Chen Qingshan was already ready to go to Dali Temple to squat.
Then, for some reason, the star orbit stabilized again, and Shiratori had a tendency to start.
Chen Qingshan exhaled, but found that the candlelight had not stopped absorbing, and the candlelight, which was already close to ten layers of brightness, had changed from red to milky white.
If the red candle represents the yang and the flame, then the milky white candle represents the heaven and earth to the yang, the origin of all yang and flame.
Chen Qingshan gradually realized that this may be the original state of the candlelight.
The white bird accelerated again, and the milky white candlelight slowly stabilized, and Chen Qingshan felt that the sea of knowledge had become a little warmer now.
On Chen Qingshan's sea of knowledge, a flame that will not be extinguished is slowly ignited, and some unknown changes are taking place.
"It's so sucking!" At this time, above the second month of Chang'an, a voice sounded, and he looked a little angry.
From a distance, I saw a person standing on top of Youying, looking at the white bird that Chen Qingshan's four people were riding.
This is an old man in a black robe, different from ordinary old men, this old man is a little tall, his height is close to two meters, and he is a little thin, standing there, like a black sugar cane.
This old man in a long robe was none other than the Lord of the Heavenly Prison, a stargazer of the Eight Realms.
When Chen Qingshan first began to absorb the power of the ghost, he found out, but he was just too lazy to do it.
After all, the lord of the Heavenly Prison had something to do with a young man.
Until all the magic boats stopped, until the star orbit was about to collapse, this Lord of the Heavenly Prison really couldn't sit still.
You must know that it is not the ordinary spiritual power that maintains the operation of the Star Orbit Law Boat, but the power of the stars.
As one of the eyes of the Thirty-Three Heavens Array, the Shadow Shadow itself has the power to absorb the power of Zhou Tian's stars, and part of the power of the stars it ingests maintains the operation of the star track and the magic boat, while the other part is stored in the Thirty-Three Heavens Array, ready to explode at any time.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qingshan's appearance revived Youying's spirituality, and he also sent the precious power of the stars out as if he didn't need money.
The power of the stars needed for the revival of the candlelight was not much, but for the candlelight to transform into the original form again, this suck sucked away the power of the stars stored in the thirty-three heavenly arrays for thirty years.
The thirty-three Heavenly Arrays that had not been used by the founding of the Tang Dynasty were all about to be revived, but fortunately, the Lord of the Heavenly Prison used the authority of Youying to block it for Chen Qingshan.
If the star track collapses, Chen Qingshan is estimated to be immediately pulled to meet with Dali Siqing, and if the thirty-three heavenly arrays are revived, Chen Qingshan will not have to wait until Laba, and he will be able to see His Majesty the Holy Emperor immediately.
That's why the lord of the heavenly prison is so angry and corrupt.
"That kid seems to be heading towards Shengyan Academy." The Lord of the Heavenly Prison sat down and looked at the white bird where Chen Qingshan was sitting.
"And the person sitting next to this kid is not simple, that little girl has the blood of that snake, interesting." The Lord of the Heavenly Prison muttered to himself.
The Lord of the Heavenly Prison took out the transmission note.
"Lao Zhou, that kid with a candle appeared, go to your side, you look at it, don't let him get into trouble, this kid just almost revived the thirty-three heavenly arrays."
The old Zhou in the mouth of the lord of Si Tianjian is naturally the sub-sage of Shengyan Academy, the sub-sage is surnamed Zhou, and the surname of the lord of Si Tianjian is Li, Li of the Tang royal family.
