Chapter 551: Return After a Long Journey
Meeting Li Qi halfway can be considered a wonderful thing. The big city near the sea is so prosperous, and the manpower and material resources consumed by the big boat crossing the sea are all immeasurable.
Only a young man like Li Qi who is not short of money is qualified to enjoy such treatment. There are mountain roads and water roads. The poor go to the mountains and the rich go to the water. Each has its own way.
By chance, Li Changxiao also walked on the rich road for a while. After spending a lot of effort, he successfully got on the boat. Thanks to Li Qi's blessing, he got a ground-level room and looked around curiously. I was shocked in my heart.
It is said that a big change happens every ten years.
The big boat leading to the Lingtian Dynasty is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and it is full of jewels. It doesn't look like a means of transportation at all, but more like a towering building. The selected wood is all the best. Even the monks who come here feel that such a big boat is really luxurious.
Li Changxiao asked Li Qi when such a big ship was built, how many years it took, and how much it cost. Li Qi smiled and replied that such a ship was built just two years ago, and it took about ten years to build.
Li Qi stood on the bow deck, overlooking the entire Xiangkou town, and told Li Changxiao that although the ship was docked here, it did not belong to any country. It was built by dozens of countries to facilitate exchanges and transport rare items.
The reason why Fuyao Tianxia is "Tianxia" instead of "Continent" is because it is too big. Even if there are endless seas outside, if you look at Fuyao Tianxia alone, there are countless oceans, mountains, and marshes, and you can't see the end at a glance. Therefore, it is obviously not comprehensive to call it "Continent".
Lingtian Dynasty and Chitian Dynasty both have extremely long coastlines. Because of the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit, they have always had very close exchanges. In addition, the reform has stagnated, and the Tianji Dao is not increasing its lifespan, but it is booming in the application of the road.
Although merchants and traders have been constantly spreading, it has gradually been widely used. Looking at this giant boat nearly 100 feet high, it is a good reflection. The structure and decoration of the ship must have been integrated with the Heavenly Secret Dao to achieve such a scale.
It was for this reason that Li Changxiao was surprised. He had not seen such a large-scale tool for a long time since he lost his soul. The flying boat and the Lingtian Shenzhou of the Lingtian Dynasty also had such a grandeur. He still remembered that when he was born in a humble family, he saw most of the princes board the Lingtian Shenzhou at the birthday banquet of a country and proudly traveled in the territory of the Lingtian Dynasty. The huge boat was suspended in the sky, and he could see the clouds with his hands, and flew into the unknown place in the morning glow...
He just looked at it, and he was shocked by the huge boat, and his memory was still fresh and he would not forget it for a long time. Now, he stepped on the bow of the giant boat and was shocked by this huge thing, and his memory was deep.
This huge boat, named "Seventeen", was created by the combined strength of seventeen countries. Could it be that Li Qi was of noble status? Li Changxiao was not sure that he could see such a huge thing naturally.
Hundred-foot ship.
Retracting his gaze, the night has quietly fallen, and dots of lights are reflected on the sea. The ship has not set out yet, and I don’t know what it is waiting for, but distinguished guests have been checking in one after another. None of them are ordinary people. They all wear Jingxiuhua clothes, wear various accessories, or have maids and servants to serve them.
Arrogant and domineering people are almost impossible to find. When they come on the ship, they will get close to each other and say a few flattering words. It is better to make friends than to make enemies. Even if Li Changxiao falls asleep on the board, passers-by will kindly spread a blanket on him, and then smile and praise him, saying that this young man has a great sleeping posture.
It’s not that everyone on the ship is a good person, but they must be smart people. Li Changxiao curiously visited the "Seventeen Giant Boats". The giant boat has four floors, corresponding to "Heaven and Earth Xuan Huang". Huang is the lowest, which is for merchants in the mortal world. Xuan is slightly higher, for reformers, people who prolong their lives, and so on. The earth level is higher, and they are the families of officials from various countries, and they are famous and promising people in the rivers and lakes, temples, and various industries. As for the heaven level, even Li Qi didn't know about it, let alone explore it easily.
Li Changxiao walked through the giant boat. Even the handrails were inlaid with exquisite jade. He could get a good price by taking one off and selling it.
There are wine shops, black markets, and brothels on the boat. If ordinary people fall into this place, they will be deeply trapped and unable to extricate themselves. Li Changxiao went to the rice wine shop and spent more than 20 taels of silver to drink a sip of wine called "Qiong Yu Niang". After drinking it, his face was ashen. The wine tasted too light and sweet. It was delicious, but it was not worth 20 taels. Fortunately, it was recorded in Li Qi's account, and he turned around to taste other wines.
After getting on the boat, he waited for another three days.
The giant boat began to sail towards the Lingtian Dynasty, and it was unknown how long it would take. When they reached the center of the sea, in the lobby of the boat, a woman in a red skirt danced gracefully. The scholars and the rich men below all watched intently and applauded from time to time.
If you don't like the scenery of the red sleeves and the beautiful women dancing, you can move to the other side, where there is a troupe performing. There are rows of tables below. If you sit there, people will bring you wine, food, and fruits. You can just take a nap or enjoy the melodious music.
Li Qi and Wu Qiuyuebai especially love to sing songs. They sit there and don't need to move for three or two hours. Li Changxiao felt drowsy after sitting for half an hour, and fell asleep on the table. But within half an hour, a woman came over. Her appearance and figure were all top-notch. Without saying a word, she helped Li Changxiao to beat his legs and pinch his waist.
Thinking that this must be the guest who was exhausted during the day, the slender fingers pressed with measured pressure, and the craftsmanship was truly impeccable. Li Changxiao snored and enjoyed the service he deserved.
The girl was also happy. The work of kneading shoulders and pressing thighs was not really hard. She could still devote some of her attention to listening to the music. Besides, the guest was handsome, so she didn't feel tired at all when serving him.
In short, that's it.
The huge boat that symbolized the brilliance of "Tianji Dao" was approaching the Chitian Dynasty little by little. If the world was so prosperous, if the world was so prosperous, it would be great.
In the remaining days, Li Changxiao and Li Qi and others drank and had fun.
This day, Li Qi still wanted to find Li Changxiao and play on the boat together, but he saw that person standing in front of a pillar.
Li Changxiao was fully focused and reached out to touch it gently.
The material used for this wooden pillar was dragon gold wood. This wood was harder than gold and stone, and it was not easy to break. It was a veritable "pillar material". Looking at the beam again, there was a familiar breath and a faint flying dragon pattern.
If Li Changxiao is not mistaken, this piece of wood... should be from Lingtian Divine Ship of Lingtian Dynasty. I didn't expect that Lingtian Divine Ship was scrapped, but its pillar of wood came here.
Will the wreckage of the heyday of cultivation be transformed into bricks and tiles of Tianji Dao like this stone pillar?
Li Changxiao's eyes fell on the endless sea through the window.
The giant ship named "Seventeen" cut through the sea, cutting through the moonlight, and the dancing figures in the fire were reflected on the water.
Look further.
It's getting closer...
It's been a long time since I came back.
