Chapter 53: The Holy Capital
The earth dragon beast chariot walked steadily on the wilderness, or climbed over the mountains, or stepped on the wide rivers, from day to night, and from night to day, every time it passed some large towns, it would stop at the post station outside the city for people to get on and off.
In the carriage close to the position of the dragon's head, Gu Qingzhou and Lin Qingyan became more and more familiar, from disliking each other and guarding each other at the beginning, to talking about everything in the back. In the end, both of them said that they were tired and rested on their seats.
During the conversation, Gu Qingzhou learned that Lin Qingyan was originally the eldest lady of the Lin family, a big family in Panlong Pass, and this time she was also going to the Holy Capital to take the Holy Academy in the Earth Dragon Beast Car.
Not only soldiers live in Panlong Pass, but there are also some business families, who have been here for business since the beginning and have slowly taken root and developed here. The Lin family is one of the families with the most signs of development, and it can be regarded as a hegemon in this Panlong Pass.
And Lin Qingyan also learned about Gu Qingzhou's general situation from the conversation, compared to Gu Qingzhou, Lin Qingyan is more interested in the wilderness described in Gu Qingzhou's mouth, listening to what this young man said, the wilderness seems to be a little different from the wilderness in the mouth of the adults in the family, I don't know when I can really go there to have a look.
The carriage on the Earth Dragon Beast's body moved in regular rhythm with its body, Gu Qingzhou opened his somewhat hazy sleepy eyes, and gently rubbed his head, this carriage was dangling, and he was not comfortable sleeping in it.
Gu Qingzhou glanced at the opposite side, and saw the girl lying on her side on the seat and falling asleep lightly, her body covered with a thin blanket, her eyes closed gently, and her long eyelashes were like a small fan, slightly resting on her lower eyelids. Her mouth curled slightly, as if she had dreamed of something pleasant.
Suddenly, Lin Qingyan, who was asleep, turned over, and the blanket on her body slipped down, Gu Qingzhou saw this and hurriedly picked up the blanket that had slipped to the ground, and came to her side to cover her again.
Getting closer, the boy suddenly smelled a faint fragrance, which emanated from the girl in front of him, and it smelled very good. For some reason, Gu Qingzhou smelled this faint fragrance, and suddenly a flush appeared on his face.
He hurriedly tiptoed back to his seat, patting his face lightly with both hands to calm himself down quickly.
After talking along the way, this girl named Lin Qingyan seems to be quite cute. Although there seemed to be some misunderstanding of the wilderness before, after listening to his own description, he seemed to be full of curiosity about the wilderness.
"Roar!"
The Earth Dragon Beast roared loudly in the sky, the sound was deafening, and the two air currents between its noses also flew into the sky. After yelling, the speed of the Earth Drake began to slow down somewhat.
"The Holy Ones are coming!"
At this time, Gu Qingzhou's ears heard the noisy voices of people in other carriages.
Gu Qingzhou hurriedly looked ahead through the car window, only to see a vague outline of the city in the distance, which was very large and looked like a behemoth.
"Is the Holy Bound coming?"
The girl on the side woke up in the noisy sound, she rubbed her hazy eyes, her face looked a little pale, she should not have slept well.
"Have you ever been to the Holy Capital?" Lin Qingyan suddenly asked.
Gu Qingzhou was slightly stunned, shook his head and said, "No!"
Lin Qingyan seemed to react suddenly, slapped her head suddenly, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I forgot, it's the first time you have come to the Holy Tang, how could you have come to the Holy Capital!"
"Let me tell you, there are a lot of delicious foods in the Holy Capital, and if we are both admitted to the Holy Academy, I will definitely take you to taste them when we have the chance!" the girl said to herself.
Gu Qingzhou smiled lightly on his face and said, "Okay, you are also the first friend I have met since I came to Middle-earth!"
Lin Qingyan sneered and said, "Then I'm lucky!"
"By the way, you must take me to your wilderness when you have a chance in the future, I am very curious about your hometown!" added the girl.
Gu Qingzhou smiled again and nodded.
At this time, the speed of the Earth Dragon Beast became slower and slower, and Gu Qingzhou looked out of the car window, only to see that the Holy Capital was already close at hand, and this Earth Dragon Beast directly carried them into the city slowly.
Lin Qingyan pushed open the window and looked out, only to see lanterns hanging everywhere outside, the lights were colorful, looking joyful and prosperous.
Gu Qingzhou also took the opportunity to look out, but saw that the city was very huge, and all kinds of buildings stood in the city, compared with the wild wild city, there was really a difference between cloud and mud.
He looked at the nearest building, and saw that this building was very tall, more like a palace, a traditional building with arches bearing fangs, the eaves were very long, and the eaves were like flying.
The speed of the Earth Dragon Beast is getting slower and slower, and Gu Qingzhou sees more and more buildings in the carriage, some of the shapes are traditional square, and the rules are regular, some are triangular, the wings are like flying, and some are even round, which can't help but dazzle him.
On the side, Lin Qingyan saw Gu Qingzhou's appearance with a burst of pride on her face, as if she lived in this city, and she smiled on her face: "How is it?
Gu Qingzhou smiled awkwardly on his face, and quickly put away his surprised look. He leaned his body against the car window and looked out the window quietly, but he thought in his heart: "Xiao Li said that Middle-earth is a hundred times more dangerous than the wilderness, and everyone here will eat people, I don't know if it's true?"
"Along the way, I watched the Earth Dragon Beast Cart, didn't it pass through the city, how could it be that when I arrived in the Holy Capital, I could directly enter the city?" Gu Qingzhou suddenly asked.
Lin Qingyan hurriedly explained with a smile: "The Holy Capital is the terminal of this Earth Dragon Beast Car, and this Holy Capital City is very huge, the Holy Lord specially ordered to build a post station for the Earth Dragon Beast Car in the city to facilitate passengers coming and going. ”
"The Holy Capital has arrived!"
While the two were talking, an armored veteran passed through the other carriages and came to the carriage where Gu Qingzhou was, and the earth dragon beast car had completely stopped at this time. The veteran only glanced at the two of them, then walked to the door and lowered the rope ladder.
"It's time to get off the train!"
The veteran took the lead in climbing down the rope ladder, and then stood by the rope ladder and waited for Gu Qingzhou and the others to get out of the car.
"Let's go!" Lin Qingyan hurriedly packed her bags and said to Gu Qingzhou, her face was full of smiles and she looked very excited.
"Holy Capital, I'm here!" Gu Qingzhou took a deep breath, and followed Lin Qingyan to climb down the rope ladder.
Landing on his feet, Gu Qingzhou felt a sense of solidity in his heart, sitting on the dragon beast cart here, the bumps along the way continued, making his head a little dizzy, and his stomach began to churn, making him very uncomfortable.
On the side, Lin Qingyan saw that Gu Qingzhou's face was slightly pale, and she looked a little uncomfortable, so she couldn't help laughing: "You won't get motion sickness, right?"
"What does motion sickness mean?" Gu Qingzhou was stunned in his heart, this was the first time he had heard this word.
"Hahahaha, look at your stupidity!"
On the side, Lin Qingyan bent over with a direct smile, and explained while laughing: "Motion sickness means that you will feel dizzy when you sit in the car, and your stomach is like turning over the river and the sea, which is very uncomfortable." ”
"Hearing you say this, I seem to be suffering from motion sickness!" Gu Qingzhou said embarrassedly, just came to Middle-earth for the first time in the car, and actually got motion sickness, which is too embarrassing.
"Let's go out first!" Lin Qingyan said.
Gu Qingzhou looked at both sides, and the passengers in the other carriages also walked towards the outside of the post station one after another, nodding at her.
There were already veterans in the carriage of the earth dragon beast car who had begun to clean the garbage left by the passengers inside the carriage, and there were also veterans in the post station who brought two carts of beef and a large bucket of water to feed the earth dragon beast, and the earth dragon beast plunged directly into the huge bucket.
"Whew!"
Two jets of water erupted from its nostrils, and the jets of water rose into the air and scattered in all directions, like rain, directly to the people in the inn.
Gu Qingzhou's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly took off the coat on his body and held it above his head, blocking the water droplets for Lin Qingyan and himself.
Because they were very close, Lin Qingyan accidentally touched Gu Qingzhou's chest, and she only felt very hard and strong. She couldn't help but have a flush on her face, and her heart was jumping "plop, plop".
