Volume 1 Origins of the Floating Dragon Chapter Seventy-Nine The Open Ancients
Li Qing got off the bus with Wang Yanming, and before they got off the bus, the people of Phnom Penh and his soldiers had already taken a step ahead of them to carry out the work of guarding and contacting.
At the moment of stepping off the Shangqing, Li Qing felt a sense of being separated from the world, this train that left a strong mark in history, he actually became its passenger, and completed a legendary journey with it.
I don't know if my name will appear in a history book?
Thinking like this, Li Qing couldn't help but feel dumbfounded in his heart, he was going through a trial realm, and he was not traveling through time and returning to real history.
"It's finally here, Fulong, it's a very nice town, it's not an exaggeration to say it's a paradise, I remember the last time I came here, I was with Fu Yuan and them when I was in college."
Revisiting the old place after nearly 30 years, time is like an arrow, and it is difficult to save the bow, Wang Yanming inevitably sighed.
The "Fu Yuan" in his words is now the deputy director of the Shang Dynasty Ancient Relics Development and Protection Committee, and Wang Yanming himself, the deputy director of the Ancient 427 Institute, is also the year of knowing the destiny of heaven.
Li Qing looked around curiously, Song Qiu's explanation gave him a general impression of this legendary mountain town, and now he was there in person, and he still inevitably felt a burst of freshness when he was there and visited the floating dragon two hundred years ago.
Fulong, which is located in the middle of the Shang Dynasty and is now the administrative district on the dividing line of the North-South Alliance, was originally just a small and nameless county, but because of the backing of Fulong Mountain, after the first obelisk was born, this place has grown rapidly, and in the later generations of the confrontation between the north and the south, this place has become independent of the two behemoths of the Yugoslav Federation and the Northern Federation, and has become a paradise for the transcendental.
"According to the plan, we will rest in the town for two days, and early the day after tomorrow, we will assemble and march to the Floating Dragon!" Wang Yanming waved his hand, but he had a heroic feeling of a general going to battle.
At the end, he instructed Li Qing as if he were a teacher and a student: "In the past two days, I have to do my homework after resting, if there is anything I don't understand, you can come to my room at any time and ask me, I still have some things, so I'll go first." ”
Li Qing nodded, and watched Wang Yanming walk out of the platform.
For this Director Wang, since he took the initiative to mention the "Tiandu Twenty-Four Righteous God Examination Records" to himself, Li Qing did not dare to treat him as an ordinary scholar, especially after seeing the other party's various abnormal behaviors, even more so.
Is it because of the Trials Realm? Or is it that in the real history that has not been recorded in those history books, this Director Wang is such a person who has studied ancient beliefs so deeply?
Li Qing shook his head and decided not to think about Director Wang for the time being, he first walked along the platform for a while, hugged and said goodbye to Gao Zixuan, who was standing by the door and guiding the passengers to get off the train, and then mixed in the flow of people and walked out of the platform.
The train station was supposed to be full of people, but now it seemed a little deserted, and the guards with loaded guns in the hall standing straight, Li Qing walked out of the train station calmly under their gaze.
When the coachman asked where Li Qing was going, he was slightly stunned, said "Wait a minute", reached out and touched his handbag, and took out an envelope from inside, which read, "Welcome Mr. Li to this hotel."
"Go here."
He pointed to the corner with the address written on it, and suddenly thought that the coachman in front of him might not be able to read, and was about to open his mouth to explain, but the coachman had already answered "yes" and whipped the horse's buttocks.
Li Qing's mouth opened slightly, but his voice was stuck in his throat.
The horse-drawn carriage is speeding on the road, and after really entering the county, the speed slows down, Fulong County is a tourist resort by the mountains and rivers, the weeping willows on both sides of the street, and the private restaurants, pharmacies, grocery stores, snack bars, etc. are scattered on the main road of the county in front of the four-story department store, and the streets are full of people.
It is hard to imagine that more than 200 years ago, under the rule of the rotten Shang Dynasty in the mouth of the Yugoslav Federation, people's quality of life had reached such a level.
Perhaps from the horse-driving coachman can also get a glimpse of a clue, the Shang Dynasty in the middle of the boom, with the slogan "everyone must be able to write their own name" in the bottom of the dynasty launched a vast literacy campaign, and then the implementation of universal education, so that everyone has the opportunity to go to school, under the strong guarantee of these two major policies, it is not surprising that a coachman who makes a living by driving a car can be literate.
With the birth of the obelisk, the mysterious energy called essentia that escaped from it gave people the power to transcend the mundane, and the stormy Shang Dynasty could no longer support it, and it collapsed under the catalysis of this force, forming a pattern of confrontation between the north and the south.
The more than 200 years of confrontation between the north and the south are two hundred years of progress for the superpowers, the second, third, fourth, and fifth obelisks have appeared one after another, the essentia between heaven and earth is becoming more and more abundant, and the expansion of the superpower field is also getting deeper and deeper.
With the collapse of the dynasty, a series of originally inconspicuous policies and measures for the benefit of the people have lost their support and have been wiped out in the long river of history, the sky over the mainland is filled with gunsmoke, the relations between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Northern Federation have been tense all year round, and the attention of both sides is on fighting a war to win the world.
For the purpose of this obelisk excavation operation, the Shang Dynasty Ancient Relics Development and Protection Committee, a subordinate organ of the Shang Dynasty Cultural Relics Department, together with the military of the Central Military Region of the Shang Dynasty and the Fulong County Government of the Shang Dynasty, has requisitioned all the hotels in the county to provide a resting place for the people from all walks of life.
The coachman handed over a note stating the journey and fare: "You sign, and I'll go to them to get the money later." ”
Li Qing took the slip and glanced at it, signed it, took his handbag and walked into the Fushun Hotel, his current identity is a junior researcher recruited by the Ancient Ruins Development and Protection Committee to carry out the development of ruins, and he should have a room of his own.
At the entrance of the hotel, there were also two soldiers armed with rifles, who were allowed to leave the hotel only after Li Qing showed his identification and envelope.
All kinds of people in the hotel were already all soldiers, and the female soldier in charge of the reception at the front desk first saluted Li Qing with a standard military salute, and then opened the envelope, raised her head and lowered her head repeatedly, and checked it carefully.
"Mr. Li, your room is in the west area on the second floor, room C, go upstairs and turn left and then turn left, you can take the key, and your two companions have just arrived." The heroic female soldier handed the key to Li Qing and made a "please" gesture towards the stairs not far away.
Li Qing's heart jumped, but on the surface, he nodded quietly.
Companion? To Li Qing's ears now, the meaning of this word must be quite complicated.
In the translation given by Qin Yanghao, two "companions" are also mentioned, saying that they are his "childhood friends".
Going around and around, everything that is reasonable and unreasonable in the trial realm seems to be hinted at in the bronze book.
The current Fushun Hotel is heavily guarded, five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the road from the front desk to the room C in the west area is not long, but Li Qing is a little tormented.
Insert the key, turn it slightly, and only hear a "click" sound, and the door will open a crack.
Li Qing pushed slightly, the gap widened, and he looked in, and saw the red and black plush carpet extending from the door to the house, the classical furniture with mahogany and gray black as the main tone, and the indistinguishable staggered snow white on the standard bed by the window.
In addition to the clean three-piece set on the bed, there is also a slender back kneeling on the bed, the upper body is not an inch of slender back, the owner of the back is concentrating on the long black hair behind the head, the arms bent back outline her snow back to the fullest, Chu waist is light, with the force of the arm and swaying slightly, the skin is as white and delicate as coagulated milk, under the light of the white curtains, the whole person is delicate like a painting.
As if sensing something, the girl on the bed tilted her head slightly, turning to an angle just enough to see Li Qing, which also allowed Li Qing to see her thrilling side face.
"Please go out first, and come back in five minutes." The girl's tone was calm, but it was a pity that the slightly trembling hands behind her head betrayed her true state of mind.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I went to the wrong room." In a hurry, Li Qing could only think of this seemingly reasonable but practical but old-fashioned reason, and hurriedly exited the room.
"No, this is room C!"
Li Qing, who was in a cold sweat, looked up and saw that in the upper left corner of the door, there was clearly a "C" number room sign, he had long heard that the Shang Dynasty was open to the people, but he didn't expect it to be open to such a degree, and it could arrange the same room for men and women who were not husband and wife.
Wait, the female soldier at the front desk said that Li Qing has "two" companions, which means that this C-shaped room is shared by three people.
Two men and one woman or two women and one man.
Li Qing, who was standing outside the room C, the torment in his heart was not reduced at all compared to when he first arrived, and he was hesitating about how to speak when he arrived for five minutes, when a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor.
At one end of the corridor, a capable and sturdy young man with short hair and a small head, wearing an army-green vest and bare arms, walked slowly towards Li Qing.
The handsome young man had a cold face, and when he got closer, he didn't greet Li Qing who was standing at the door, first looked up at the room card, and then inserted the key with a calm face and unscrewed the handle.
It seems to be two men and one woman...... Li Qing wanted to remind, but helplessly, the young man's movements were really neat, and before he could speak, he had already pushed the door in.
