With his back against the metal wall, Li Liang looked around and saw an endless plain in front of him.
The air is dry, the temperature is suitable, and the sky is vast.
At the end of the field of vision stands a huge glorious pillar that connects the sky and the earth. The top of the pillar is obscured by clouds, making people wonder whether it reaches directly to the heavenly palace, or whether it is infinitely high.
Large and small portals are constantly lighting up on the plain. The giant ones are hundreds of meters high, while the small ones only flicker. It can be seen that the long-distance portals summoned from all over the spiritual world have arrived here uniformly.
However, only a few people use portals, and the mainstream is the one that breaks through the air.
I saw countless creatures with fluttering sleeves suddenly appearing in the sky, cutting through the sky, and heading straight for the giant pillar.
Some are walking with swords, some are riding strange beasts upside down, and some are leaning on dead vines. The Taoist tools have different shapes, and the techniques are ever-changing. There are also a group of magicians who directly ride on the wind and fly into the air, looking around like a group of immortals moving around.
Li Liang stared up at those elegant figures.
The experiences during this period all revolved around the "new world", fairies, and gods. In addition, most of the consultants humans came into contact with were magicians. As a result, magicians were rare among psychics. He found that he actually knew very little about Taoism. Some of my understanding comes from the "Introduction to Taoism" and Tam's few words.
Magic and Taoism are two completely different systems. Even a "pardon master" like Tam's understanding of Taoism is limited to basic historical knowledge, and he can't even identify which Taoism the flying sword with the fingerprint on his left hand belongs to. technique.
After all, there are only three magicians that I have actually dealt with. One is the altar leader among the psychics who was killed by drones. Unfortunately, he learned Yeluzi Taoism, and the other is a KKK employee Shen Lan. There was no time to talk in detail. The last one was Chief of Staff Zhuos, and it was just a hasty fight.
At this time, a shadow passed over his head and thunder rolled.
It was a giant seal with a side length of dozens of meters. It was surrounded by green thunder as it flew. There was a creature wearing a bamboo hat sitting on it. It was vaguely visible that the bamboo hat was covered with white hair, covering its face.
Watching the giant seal go away, Li Liang felt like he was dreaming, a dream about a fairy.
It turns out that Taoism... is really like that "Taoism", rather than Taoism similar to magic.
What is this familiar cultural heritage?
Seeing Shenlan wearing a long-sleeved robe before was offensive enough, but now seeing creatures of different life forms all wearing long-sleeved robes, Li Liang had an unreal feeling.
The only thing these creatures have in common is that they all have an indefinite number of limbs, heads and torsos, which seems to be a necessary condition for practicing Taoism.
Closing his eyes and entering the spiritual field of vision, he somewhat understood the reason.
Each magician's body has different paths for the movement of the spirit, especially the location where the spirit forms the vortex. Some are the same as him, three places on the head, heart, and abdomen, and some are seven or eight places scattered on the head and limbs. , and what’s more, there are as many as ten places where spirits circulate among the whirlpools to form mysterious structures.
The white-haired creature that just flew by on the giant seal had only one vortex in its body, located at its right shoulder.
It seems that different numbers and location distributions of vortices represent different Taoisms, and having a "body" to carry the vortexes is the most basic requirement. Formless beings such as electromagnetic clouds and condensed matter are obviously not suitable for Taoism.
"Hmph, magician," Timo raised his eyes, "Li Liang, are you running fast?"
Li Liang looked back: "Run? Run with your legs?"
"Yes."
"What's the meaning?"
"Many magicians want to kill me, and Du Yujing prohibits the use of magic, so... can you run fast?"
Li Liang pursed his lips: "It's okay."
"That's fine," Timo tightened his backpack, "As long as you can't run as fast as me."
"..."
"Let's go," Timo walked forward and snorted again, "Du Yujing doesn't welcome me, I hate Du Yujing."
Soon, Li Liang knew why this Yodel who believed in the Shadow God was so dissatisfied.
Wangshan is a dead horse, the glorious pillar is too far away.
Everyone who walked out of the portal, whether they were magicians or Gufo, were on foot. Many spaceships in the distance also slid out of the portal and landed on the spot. Passengers, regardless of their identities, could only disembark and walk.
In contrast, the magicians whizzed by overhead, covering the distance in the blink of an eye.
It's a bit of a bully.
Recalling Bond's boast about how convenient Du Yujing's entry and exit system was, Li Liang frowned and said, "Do you have to walk all the way to that pillar?"
"No, there is an elevator some distance ahead."
"elevator?"
Half an hour later.
"this……"
Li Liang was shocked again.
I saw black roads lined up side by side on the ground, leading straight to the giant pillars on the horizon.
When he stepped on the corrugated metal pedal that circulated and was carried forward, he had an extremely absurd feeling.
This thing has nothing to do with the horizontal moving walkways that were common in airports or large subway stations a thousand years ago. They are exactly the same.
Looking left and right, there were various creatures standing on the adjacent elevators, mostly inorganic creatures, equipped with the life support systems they needed. There were many aborigines among them. Further away, larger creatures were also moving at a constant speed. It can be seen that Du Yujing has prepared automatic walking paths for creatures of different sizes.
This scene is truly unexpected.
The magicians flew into the sky and escaped, while the magicians could only stand stupidly on the elevator, moving forward at a speed of less than two meters per second.
What's even more outrageous is that most humans a thousand years ago would not stop on the moving sidewalk, but now, all visiting creatures stand still.
The only function of this thing is to save walking, but it is puzzling that the giant-like creature in the distance also takes the elevator.
Li Liang could only convince himself that this might be a forced rule. No matter how urgent it was, he could only move forward slowly.
Looking back, he still couldn't see the end of the giant metal wall. The top was submerged in the clouds, and the height was unknown. For some reason, he always felt familiar yet unfamiliar when looking at the giant wall.
"Timo, how much do you know about Taoism?"
Teemo had already used his backpack as a bench and sat on the elevator. After hearing the question, he said casually: "I don't know, the Yodels believe in Calypso."
"Why did you become enemies with the magician?"
"What do you think adventure is?"
"Exploring the unknown?"
"Humph, most of the time, exploration is a business," Teemo took out his piccolo and scratched his back, "Dangerous places often contain priceless things. I have encountered countless competitors, magicians, sorcerers, and psychics. Technical, aboriginal, but Captain Teemo is the greatest, without a doubt.”
Li Liang said helplessly: "So you have killed the magician."
"Of course, they are easier to deal with than magicians," Timo glanced up disdainfully, "How can a power based on ordinary living bodies be comparable to gods?"
This statement obviously contains an element of bragging.
If the gap between Taoism and magic is obvious, how could Du Yujing beat Makosik?
Li Liang shook his head and changed the topic: "By the way, did the magician participate in the battle of the gods?"
"No, although the guy named Yuanshi Dharma Master invented Taoism very early, not many creatures believe in his theory. Fu Ding... it sounds stupid."
"When did the art of Taoism arise?"
"In Ragnarok, a large number of magicians died in the flames of war. Later, the gods came and created puppet demigods, which almost destroyed the entire spiritual world. For a long time after the war, magic was regarded as the source of war, and Taoism It is accepted by more and more races. I heard a magician say that three epochs ago, the spiritual door to the carbon-based biological world was opened, and Taoism really flourished. Du Yujing was also at that time Establish."
Li Liang suddenly realized.
Carbon-based creatures, especially humanoid carbon-based creatures, are not only good at magic, but also adapted to Taoism. Tam mentioned in the book "Tao and Magic" that the Creation Titan held a meeting because carbon-based creatures swept the spiritual world. It's not finished yet.
Amidst the loud rumbling, another shadow passed over from above, carrying air waves.
A huge mace.
Li Liang took a few deep breaths and sat on the elevator. Just when he was about to speak, he found that Teemo's head was drooped and he fell asleep.
He has a really big heart.
In front of them was a silicon-based creature with an energy shield, and behind them was a rickety fungus creature. No one could talk to them, so Li Liang had no choice but to rub the tattoo on his left index finger, close his eyes, and look up. The magician looked up and observed the path.
The escalator went faster than expected, and three hours later, the glorious pillar was already in sight.
Li Liang looked ahead and saw flashes of light appearing in front of many creatures. When he was confused, a light curtain appeared in front of him, with information scrolling rapidly on it:
Target basic element of life: carbon element.
Target life form category: Luca - New Wall Domain - Eukaryotic Domain - Uniflagellate Organisms - Opisthoflagellate Organisms - Animalia General - Silk Creatures - Animalia... Hominidae - Homininae - Homininidae - Homininidae Tribe - Homo genus - Homo sapiens species - Late subspecies of Homo sapiens.
Target DNA structure of life: a stable structure formed by a pair of polynucleotide chains coiled around a common central axis and connected by hydrogen bonds between bases.
Independent definition of the origin planet of the basic world civilization to which the target life belongs: Order Universe—Pisces-Jonus Supercluster Complex—Lanikea Supercluster—Virgo Supercluster—Local Galaxy Group—Galaxy Subgroup—Milky Way—Orion Spiral Arm—Gould’s Belt—Local Star Cluster—Local Interstellar Cloud—Solar System—Inner Solar System—Earth.
The goal pursued by the civilization to which the target life belongs: coherent extrapolated will.
The mathematical basis of the civilization to which the target life belongs...
…
The characters are scrolling continuously, which is generally close to the content asked by the Makosik Entry-Exit Management Center, but the tedious queuing and dialogue process is omitted, and all are displayed directly. Finally, a line of words appears: "To confirm it is correct, please touch the green area."
Li Liang glanced at his feet. What was probably displayed on the light screen in front of Teemo was Yodel text. Teemo, who had just woken up, vaguely clicked on something.
He looked around again. Creatures of different shapes were displayed in different ways. Some even had no light curtain, just a rapidly flashing light spot.
Finally, he clicked on the area designated by the light screen.
"We're finally here," Timo stretched out and scratched the short hair on his face that was wet with saliva. "The only thing about Du Yujing that satisfies me is the way of entry."
Li Liang nodded.
Bond was right, this automated process was really convenient.
"You didn't sleep?" Timo asked in surprise, "You should take a rest."
"Forget it, I can't sleep."
Sudden.
There was a commotion all around, and many creatures turned around at the same time.
Li Liang was stunned for a moment, then looked up and found that the magicians in the sky had also stopped and looked back.
What happened?
He turned around, then raised his head little by little, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
At some point, the clouds above the giant metal wall were blown away, and the entire wall was completely revealed. To be precise, it was not a wall, but a terrifyingly huge... sword that penetrated straight into the ground.
"Tao Sword," Timo's voice sounded behind him, "The sword of the Primordial Master."
