Chapter 248 Newly Arrived

Listening to the introductions of the two people from Honglu Temple, Li Qi also looked at the streets along the way from the car window.

Prosperous.

There is really no other adjective besides this.

This is a huge city with a population of billions.

The huge popularity swept everything, making the heaven and earth surrender, the sun, the moon and the stars avoid, and the rules suppressed everything. Here, the wind must blow according to people's wishes, and the rain must fall according to people's wishes.

Li Qi can even see the "weather forecast" on the terminal in his hand.

What's outrageous is that this weather forecast directly predicts the whole year!

All the weather for this year has been arranged, and everything is planned.

All natural phenomena must be regulated to ensure that they are the most "appropriate".

Honglu Temple introduced some local customs to Li Qi. About half an hour later, the car drove about 300 miles and finally stopped.

"Ah, have we arrived yet? By the way, are you interested in attending the banquet tonight? Some students who are also studying abroad from other places have a dinner arranged by the Honglu Temple. If you attend, you will definitely be a distinguished guest and spread some reputation." Fang Yuanzheng suggested when getting off the car.

Tang is not the type of country that is closed to the outside world. In fact, there are many international students, but not many of them can enter the Imperial College.

In addition to the Imperial College, there are many schools in Chang'an, and their students may not even be from all over the world.

Among the heavens and the worlds, the most top geniuses often have to choose one person from millions of worlds to come to Tang for further study, which can be called a volume within a volume.

Being able to show up among these people can indeed spread your reputation.

However, it is not necessary.

Li Qi shook his head: "Forget it, it's just a little bit of empty reputation, then goodbye, Chen Lingcheng, Fang Changke, see you later, thank you for your company today and for introducing so many things to me."

"It's my job, don't worry about it, your terminal has stored all the things you need, admission procedures, precautions, maps, all in it. If you don't understand or encounter trouble, you can also contact us, the contact information has been stored in it, just find me directly." Fang Yuanzheng said kindly.

"Thank you." Li Qi bowed his hands to thank him.

"By the way, there is one more thing, remember, although the Central Plains is big, it can't tolerate people who break the law and discipline. If you have a conflict or quarrel with someone, you can't do it directly, otherwise under the law, even if you are a young man, you will be guilty of the same crime as the common people." Fang Yuanzheng said here, and he was rare serious.

"Thank you for your advice, Li Qi will remember it." Li Qi nodded.

After speaking, the people from the Honglu Temple didn't say anything more, got off the car and said goodbye to Li Qi, and then drove away.

Only Li Qi was left, holding the rabbit in his hands, standing in the dormitory arranged for him by the Honglu Temple.

The Imperial College does not live on campus, there are no dormitories, and students find their own accommodation.

Li Qi definitely has no place to live, so the Honglu Temple arranged a small courtyard for him, which is what was previously called "entering the hall".

Although it is called a courtyard, it is actually no different from the ordinary houses around it, covering an area of ​​about two or three hundred square meters.

The Tang Kingdom did not give Li Qi any preferential treatment. If Li Qi's status as a young master is taken into consideration, this arrangement can even be said to be "shabby".

However, Li Qi did not care much about this, because he read the regulations issued by the Honglu Temple and found that the specifications were indeed like this, and everything was done according to the rules.

If Li Qi wanted to live in a better place, he could find it himself. Anyway, there was only this small courtyard arranged, so it didn't matter if he wanted to rent it himself.

"No money." Li Qi shook his head, hugged Shen Shuibi, and walked into the courtyard.

The door of this courtyard is also a magic weapon. It cannot be opened by ordinary methods. It can only be opened through the terminal sent to you by the Honglu Temple. There is your own personal certification in it, which has the authority to open this magic weapon.

All the houses are magic weapons. It’s a bit outrageous to think about it, but... if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem so outrageous.

It’s like primitive people living in caves, and modern people living in reinforced concrete houses.

Primitive people think that industrialization is a miracle. There is so much iron and concrete, which is simply endless. They can only use stone tools, and they can’t even dream of iron tools.

But for modern people, living in reinforced concrete houses is simply natural. Who would live in caves?

It’s the same now.

For the residents of the Baiyue area, living in ordinary wooden houses is normal, and living in magic weapons is incredible.

In the eyes of Chang'an people, isn’t it natural that houses are automated magic weapons? Everyone builds them like this.

The gap between Baiyue and Tang is reflected in the most basic food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Compared with Baiyue, this is an all-round transcendence.

Li Qi walked to the gate of the other courtyard and saw an old man taking a walk.

This should be his neighbor, right? He looked like a mortal, with some cultivation, but not yet in the rank. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with a straight back and vigorous spirit.

Since they had already bumped into each other, Li Qi greeted him: "Good afternoon, uncle."

The old man also replied: "Good, good, young man, you just moved here? No one lived here before."

"Yes, I just arrived today, and I should live here from now on. How old are you?" Li Qi stopped while holding Shen Shuibi, and greeted the old man on the crosswalk.

"Two hundred and five years old this year!" The old man answered in a loud voice: "How about you, young man? Why did you move here?"

Two hundred and five years old! ?

Li Qi was stunned and glanced at the old man.

Really, it was impossible to tell.

The other party had not entered the rank at all, how could he live to the age of 205? And he was still in such good spirits?

However, he was only slightly stunned, and Li Qi immediately regained his composure.

The only way to achieve this is probably a peaceful living environment, popularized martial arts, and complete medical facilities.

Afterwards, Li Qi said to him: "The old man is in such good spirits, you can't tell that he is already 200 years old. As for me, I came to the Imperial College to study and live here."

When the old man heard that Li Qi was a student of the Imperial College, his eyes widened immediately!

"Oh my! I didn't notice that he was a student of the Imperial College!" The old man was so surprised that he almost jumped up: "Good boy, good boy, really good, really good."

He seemed a little excited: "This is really the glory of my Liu family. By the way, by the way, kid, wait a minute." As he said that, he ran to the next house in a flash.

That agile man didn't look like he was 200 years old at all.

Li Qi stopped there curiously, not knowing what the other party wanted to do.

After a while, the old man came out with a child of twelve or thirteen years old.

Li Qi stared at the child...

There was a demonic aura on the child.

It was a half-demon, not a pure-blooded human.

But the child didn't seem to have any special feelings. Instead, he looked at Li Qi with reverence, holding a red envelope in both hands, and said to Li Qi: "Brother, this is for you!"

The old man also urged: "Child, take it, and ask for good luck."

Ah? Are the people of Tang so enthusiastic?

Seeing the other party's heartfelt surprise, Li Qi didn't even know how to refuse.

He could also feel that this was completely from the joy and blessing from the heart, plus some customs of asking for good luck.

Although it was not very clear, Li Qi also took the red envelope, put his hands together, and responded with a smile: "Thank you very much."

In order to do this action, he even squatted down and put the rabbit aside.

Fortunately, the rabbit had been silent from the beginning, and was still in a red and warm state, so no one noticed this strange rabbit in a little skirt.

After receiving the red envelope, the old man and his grandson exchanged greetings for a while.

He said that he would help the child with homework when he had time, that he would find them if he had anything, that they were familiar with the area, whether the furniture was ready, and whether he needed help.

Li Qi naturally replied politely.

After the greetings, the grandfather and grandson watched Li Qi enter the house. Li Qi could still hear the old man lowering his voice to educate the child, saying something like "Watch carefully, and learn from this brother in the future."

Li Qi listened to these words, walked into the courtyard, and opened the red envelope at the same time.

It was not filled with copper coins or silver, but a few pieces of red paper with many auspicious words written on them.

A closer look showed that they were all words like "no disaster in the past, no harm in the future" and "the son of a unicorn in the sky, the top scholar in the world".

This made Li Qi happier than putting money in it. He put the red paper in a mustard bag.

He knew more about Tang.

But... compared with Wushen Mountain?

Li Qi opened the door and looked around the small courtyard while comparing it with Wushen Mountain.

The conclusion is...

Similar in level?

Indeed, similar, but there are too many differences in style.

When I went to the banquet, when I was in the cave, and when I was on the road and saw the decorations between the various spiritual peaks, I could see that if I wanted, Wushen Mountain could be very advanced.

However, in addition to personal hobbies, Wushen Mountain was not willing to make too many changes to the natural world, nor did it want to improve everyone's life.

Let it go, it means that most people and animals are the same in the eyes of witches, and their death and reproduction are part of natural changes.

If you can embark on the path of cultivation and can live forever, it is the result of your own efforts, and the witch will not deliberately stop you.

If you can't, it is also a matter of course, and they will not go out of their way to help you.

The scene in the Baiyue area is like this.

All beings are equal, and so are people.

But the human way is just the opposite.

Ordinary old people can live to be 200 years old and still be so energetic, which is enough to show that humanity actually cares about these ordinary people and will popularize medical care and education for them.

But Li Qi can also see the large-scale occupation to support these people.

There is no shortage of meat in the street stalls and terminals, which must be the result of large-scale farming.

The "farming" behavior that is not seen in the Baiyue land of Wudao has obviously become a matter of course in Chang'an of Human Dao.

The different understandings of the world by the two Taoists have directly led to completely different changes in social models.

Farming is extremely cruel and unfair to the creatures being farmed, and Wudao does not advocate it.

But farming is very convenient and effective for the party being supported, so humanity has popularized this model on a large scale.

Li Qi once again understood what the dispute between Taoists is.

The Taoists have different understandings of the world, and what they do is different.

Conflicts come from this.

Is the human approach right? I am afraid that other species that are farmed and occupied will not think so. Among these occupied races, there are definitely types with natural intelligence.

Is the Wudao approach right? How do we explain the feudal era that lasted for who knows how many years? Compared with the people of Chang'an, the two do not seem to live in the same world at all.

In this matter, I am afraid that it is impossible to tell right from wrong. There is only what one thinks is the "Tao".

But...

Humanity does not seem to be limited to the "human" race.

Because there seem to be some monsters and other races on the street who have human rights and terminals in their hands. Even the child before is half-monster, and one of his parents should be a monster.

This shows that monsters also have human rights.

Extending this, Li Qi guessed that humanity should be "those who recognize me are the same kind. '

If not...

Then the tyranny and aggression of the Tang Kingdom towards the outside world have been revealed many times, so there is no need to say more.

Continuing to think about these things in his mind, Li Qi sat on the chair in this room.

This is a desk by the window. Putting Shen Shuibi on the table, he continued to ponder and summarize what he saw and heard along the way, and at the same time took out paper and pen to help himself think.

Normally, before I came here, someone from Wushen Mountain should have told me some common sense about Tang State, but...

This time I didn't come here normally. I actually ran away after doing something bad, so I didn't receive any pre-job training.

But it doesn't matter. Li Qi feels more interesting to sketch out a specific image of Tang State bit by bit.

Because I came here suddenly, there is still a full month before the start of the Imperial College.

Besides, even after the start of the school, I can go out for a walk.

There is still a lot of time for me to witness this country in the center of the world with my own eyes.

After sorting out the information and knowledge, he began to draw a mind map to help himself better sort out the clues.

As long as I start thinking, time will suddenly speed up.

Soon it was from noon to night.

The sun set and the moon rose.

However, Li Qi didn't feel anything wrong.

Because when he was buried in his desk, Shen Shuibi had already turned on the light for him silently.

The red sleeves add fragrance to the night lights, and the candlelight floats on the screen to illuminate the distant wind.

The rabbit returned to human form, leaning slightly on the recliner on the other side, silently watching his back.

Actually... I appeared in the form of a rabbit all day today and didn't speak, not because I was shy.

But because...

It hurts.

But I can't tell Li Qi about this.

Shen Shuibi had a hunch that if she told him, something bad would happen.

But it should be fine tomorrow, right?

Li Qi has already applied for medical treatment, so after the injury is healed, there will be a lot more things I can do.

I have to start thinking about how to accumulate wealth after the injury is healed, at least I have to pay off the debts of the people in Luofu Mountain and Yang Ning.

In this way, I won't be a burden to the queen.

In this way, one person and one rabbit fell into deep thought.
