43. Experiences in Great Xia (I)
(Thank you for the monthly pass support of "Sikong Shenwei", "Love Nerd" and "Phantom Mirage"!
Li Xing was very proud: "Yes, Xia Jing is a city that will never fall." ”
"There is no city or fortress that will not fall. Wang Qinian said lightly, "There is no limit to power, and no one knows what will appear tomorrow in magic." ”
Xiaoshuang flew out, she had long forgotten what happened a few days ago, flew to Wang Qinian's shoulder, and said, "What are you talking about?"
Wang Qinian smiled: "I'm talking about Xia Jing's defense, it's really a heroic city." ”
"Not only that, what we see is only the periphery, there is also a two-story city wall inside, Xia Jing has a long history, several expansions in history, each time larger than the other, forming the shape of three city walls. Li Xing said.
They entered the city, at the gate of the city, they were not interrogated, it is now a peaceful era, and pedestrians are generally not checked, Wang Qinian and they have the protection of officers and soldiers, even in wartime, they will not be interrogated.
Entering the city, the streets are very neat, the streets are very wide, there are street lights on the side of the road, and then look at the side of the street, there are sewers, and there are street trees on the side of the road.
The streets are full of carriages and pedestrians, the streets are lively, and the people doing business shout and shout, and there is a strong feeling of being at home.
On the side of the road, Wang Qinian found a very strange phenomenon, that is, those street lamps, they are crystals, Wang Qinian recognized it, this crystal does not shine, but if there is a magic power. It emits white light and is a type of magic lamp.
However, this kind of lamp is not popular in Tessie, Tessie directly engraves the magic array with the magic core, or depicts the magic array on the lamp base to make the magic core shine directly, and does not use this crystal, this crystal has a special name, called the light crystal, and the reserves in Tessie are very small.
And for this crystal to be used, there must be magical energy. Generally based on magic cores. Or use magic crystals, but there is obviously no in the lamp on the side of the road, Wang Qinian's spiritual power clearly feels that there is a magic array inside, as if receiving magic energy. But where is the magical energy?
There's definitely magic energy in there. Wang Qinian became interested. Recalling what I had just sensed outside the city, there seemed to be large and small points of magical power rising into the sky in the city, could they still have a role? To supply these magic lamps, Wang Qinian passed through many cities along the way, and there were no such street lamps in the city.
Although most cities use bright gasoline blowtorches and the like, using oil, which they call the fractionated light oil in the stone grease as fuel, Wang Qinian has already felt that the use of fossil fuels in Daxia is indeed beyond imagination, but there are no city street lamps that use magic lamps, and Xia Jing has magic crystal lamps all on the street.
It is estimated that this is the case in the whole Xia Kyoto, and he asked Li Xing curiously: "How to solve the energy of these street lights?"
As soon as Li Xing saw Wang Qinian asking, he said proudly: "There is only one family in the world, and eighteen magic pools have been established in the city, collecting the magic energy in the leylines and the sky, supplying the street lamps of the whole city, as well as the magic energy needed for the city defense, and even the magic lamps in the palace and residents' homes." ”
Wang Qinian couldn't help but be very surprised: "Since you can do this, why is there only Xia Jing in the world?"
This technology must have its limitations, otherwise at least other cities in Great Xia should be like this, not just Xia Jing.
As expected, Li Xing said: " The magic pool accumulates magic energy, there are many restrictions, the first must be above the earth chakra, and the chakra must not be too deep, that's it, the world is not one, in addition, the magic pool must have a magic array, which costs amazingly, a variety of rare materials, and, after a period of time, it must be maintained, and the materials are also consumed, it can be said that Daxia has met the conditions in this place, coupled with the emergence of fossil energy such as stone grease later, other cities also use gasoline blowtorches and the like, it does not need to be maintained by magicians, ordinary people can do it, you know, magicians are also scarce resources。 ”
In this way, Wang Qinian understood, but became interested in the magic pool: "Can you enter the magic pool?"
"The Magic Pool is a place of extreme secrecy, and even magicians are not allowed to enter it unless you have royal permission. Li Xing said.
Wang Qinian was not surprised by this, he really wanted to get the secret of the magic pool, it seemed that he had to think of another way, listening to Li Xing, the magic pool was the result of the theory of the earth chakra, Wang Qinian couldn't help but think, whether Kunlun Academy knew, logically speaking, should know, he not only thought of the sky city, the sky city of Huolin Qiaoton was built after Kunlun, and the energy used the core of the fire plane, which seems to be a little related to the magic pool, so what energy core is used in the sky city of Kunlun, it should be related to the magic pool.
Wang Qinian's mind is spinning rapidly, both systems have proved their correctness in their respective fields, indicating that they are close to the truth within a certain range, what is the connection between the two, Wang Qinian has been learning the Western element theory, and does not understand the chakra theory, and now he is very interested in the chakra theory.
They lived directly in the royal inn, Wang Qinian prepared elf cloth and spider silk cloth as gifts, after all, to meet the emperor of Great Xia, generally gold, silver and jewelry are not placed in the eyes of the emperor, Wang Qinian inquired in advance, elf cloth and spider silk cloth is not in Great Xia.
A day later, Wang Qinian met with the Emperor, a magician of this world with a very high status, Wang Qinian was a legendary mage, and Great Xia entertained him with a state banquet.
The emperor asked Wang Qinian what he wanted, and Wang Qinian wanted to offer to see the magic pool, but he didn't say it, but made another request, that is, he wanted to make a visit to Kunlun Academy, and the Emperor of Great Xia agreed, and gave him a large amount of silk and jewelry, which were worth far more than he took out.
At this point, the Emperor of Great Xia was very generous, and he also rewarded Xiaoshuang, he was also very interested in the flower fairy coming to the court, so to speak, Wang Qinian returned with a full load.
At the same time, he ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to wait for Wang Qinian, and in the next few days, Wang Qinian negotiated with the Lifan Yuan, established diplomatic relations with the Great Xia Kingdom, and signed a reciprocal trade agreement.
Wang Qinian visited the Pope of the Earth God Cult, that is, the high priest Meng Congren, and Meng Congren was very happy to receive Wang Qinian and his party, after all, they were people cared for by God.
The high priest was not in Xiajing, but on the highest peak of the Yanshan Mountains outside Xiajing, where a town was built on the mountain, and the people in the town were all the clergy of Houtu, except for some people who served them, that is, those who served, and they were also devout disciples of Houtu.
The town surrounds the mountain peak, as soon as Wang Qinian arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he found that a divine power invisibly changed the surrounding qiē, which seemed to be extremely gentle, but moisturized things silently, this power is different from magic, but an invisible force that makes people good, once here, even the wicked will repent.
The town had no defenses at all, and the high priest said that since the establishment of the Later Soil, no wicked people had ever come here, and that everyone who had come here had become very good, so there was no need for any defense.
This is a completely different look, Wang Qinian can't help but think of the Holy City of Eton, the Holy City of the Founding Bishop, which looks peaceful but has strong barriers.
There is no heresy here, every qiē person is within the scope of salvation, whether you believe in God or not, whether you are a human or not, as long as there is a qiē living object, the earth can be tolerated, which is probably the reason why Daxia lasts forever.
Wang Qinian and everyone entered the big temple on the top of the mountain, there were more than 20 gods in the Houtu God Department, each performing its own duties, and Wang Qinian gave the Houtu three pillars of incense.
Wang Qinian found that there was an endless stream of people who came to worship incense, but not necessarily to the earth, Wang Qinian took a look and found that thirty percent of them were incense to the God of Wealth, and there were even people who worshiped three or four gods.
"Is God bless them like this?" asked Wang Qinian curiously.
High Priest Meng Congren smiled: "God will not be so stingy, Houtu is a righteous god, this is her great wish, she doesn't care about faith, whether there is faith or not for her, can not shake her godhead, as long as there is the earth and life, her aura will last forever, she is just a piece of compassion." ”
Wang Qinian also smiled, he said: "The world of God is not what we humans imagine, just like Xia Worm can't talk about ice, I worry about God instead, I'm afraid in the eyes of God, it is also extremely ridiculous." ”
Meng Congren led Wang Qinian and a few people, and when they walked inside, the clergy saw it, nodded and said hello, Meng Congren answered one by one, amiable, like an old man next door, he couldn't see the appearance of a generation of popes at all, even Wang Qinian couldn't see that he was a demigod-level master, and he only felt very cordial by his side.
Wang Qinian knows his details, and he doesn't have a trace of precaution in his heart, which has to make Wang Qinian admire, silently, it has affected the feelings of the people around him, which is terrible.
"High Priest, you are the most reassuring and terrifying man I have ever met, and I have ever faced the Pope of the Founding Bishop, who is inferior to you. Wang Qinian said, when he said this, Xiaoshuang and Tina realized that they were not wary of the high priest at all, which is very rare.
Xiaoshuang said: "High Priest, you are really amazing, you actually made my Xiaoshuang have reverence for you, if it wasn't for Wang Yi's words, I really didn't pay attention." ”
"Between people, isn't this very good, just like you are a flower fairy, not with Mr. Wang, I heard that the flower fairy is extremely pure, and does not want to be with dark creatures, now together, isn't it also good, creatures have their own nature, as long as they do not harm each other, they can get along in harmony, the doctrine of the earth is different from the bishop, they are monotheistic, and the goddess of the earth is very tolerant. Meng Congren laughed.
From his words, Wang Qinian heard that he had already seen through his true identity, but he did not regard Wang Qinian as an anomaly. (To be continued......)
