It's raining.
It actually rains in Du Yujing.
Walking along the misty bluestone path and looking at the quaint buildings on both sides, Li Liang felt like he was dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty.
so similar.
Cinnabar-colored courtyard walls, lacquered columns, huge brackets, stretched and raised eaves, and carved and hollow doors and windows, these styles cannot appear out of thin air. They must be formed based on similar cultural backgrounds and aesthetic preferences.
There are many carbon-based organisms that are similar in appearance to humans, but it is puzzling that they are so close to the aesthetics of humans, especially the ancient Chinese.
"Has Du Yujing always been like this? Or has it been rebuilt?"
"I've never heard of it being renovated," Timo said in a dull voice, putting on a cloak and covering his head with a hood, "What's wrong?"
"The buildings resemble ancient human styles."
"Really?" Timo said casually, "Carbon-based organisms will inevitably have similarities."
"It's not just similar..." Li Liang shook his head, "Is Emperor Haotian a carbon-based life form?"
"It is rumored that he is a rare native carbon-based life among the aborigines. Who knows? Not many people have seen Emperor Haotian with their own eyes."
"Where is Dharma Master Yuanshi?"
Teemo was absent-minded: "I don't know... Oh, if you have a chance, you can ask Nidhogg. The dragon may give you the answer. Of course, it may also eat you as a snack."
"Do three-quarters know?"
"Perhaps, but you may have to prepare another spiritual core. Pulsar Exiles do not accept free consultations, just like the patience of Yodels is also very limited."
Li Liang said leisurely: "Do you still remember the small island in the Chawu Realm that I said? It is covered with Hermes Dream. You will have to prepare a larger cargo ship when the time comes."
"But Yodels always tell their friends everything, so what's the problem?" Teemo said in a sincere tone.
Li Liang didn't care at all if he gave away a shipload of priceless Hermes' Dreams. Anyway, the island would "reverse and restore" inexplicably, and the Hermes' Dreams would grow again and again, and there would be too many to pull out. over.
However, Timo obviously had limited knowledge of Du Yujing's history, so he changed the topic.
"The goblin won't repeat his old tricks in Du Yujing, right?"
"Every magician can only use magic to make a living after obtaining the Law of the Three Emperors and joining a certain sect, and will be under the jurisdiction of the Magician Association for life. They cannot take on tasks from goblins. As for the independent armed organization of the psionic technology sect, I don’t have the guts to take action in Du Yujing.”
Li Liang felt relieved.
It turns out that magicians need to hold a certificate to work.
Perhaps this is another reason why Du Yujing is so powerful. The magicians are scattered, good and bad, but the magicians are easy to organize, and their cohesion is different.
Tap tap tap~~
A sound of hoofbeats sounded from behind.
Li Liang moved to the side, and a blue-skinned man passed by riding a wild boar-like transportation mount.
The aboriginals also monopolized the "taxi" business in Du Yujing, and the mounts they provided were also clumsy goods. The man who looked somewhat similar to Shenlan was very tall, and the pig's feet were hanging down to the ground while he was riding a pig. .
Thinking of the painful riding experience of "Son of Gronn", Li Liang was thankful that Teemo remembered that the Tifami Embassy was very close, so they didn't have to rent another transportation mount.
The Duyujing Carbon District is too crowded, and in fact, renting a transportation mount won’t make you go much faster.
Continuing to walk forward, the buildings on both sides of the street look very much like shops. Most of them have open doors and have the same shape on the outside. If you look inside, you will find that the interiors are completely different. There are no signs or anything like that at the door. It is hard to imagine. What is this for.
Sometimes there are familiar styles, such as the interior is filled with crystals, and a molten pool with rising steam can be vaguely seen. It is probably a "restaurant" for silicon-based creatures. Some doors are filled with mist, presumably for gaseous creatures.
In addition, after walking for more than ten minutes, Li Liang noticed that in the carbon area of Du Yujing, there were obviously more "humanoid" creatures than Makosik, including people with blue skin like deep blue, short people with red skin, and thick hair. "ape-man" and many upright grasshopper-like creatures.
Among the aboriginal people, he had also seen winged succubi, tall Eredar people, groups of green-skinned Wags, and the squirming slime Timoleans.
Accustomed to coexisting with different forms of life, and still feeling uneasy, Li Liang soon stopped paying attention to the "pedestrians" around him and concentrated on his way.
More than ten minutes later, Teemo signaled that the Tifami Star Embassy was at the corner of the street.
Li Liang had seen that building before. There was a row of "glass panels" erected at the door. The light and shadow flickered. It was quite conspicuous in the "antique" street, revealing a long-lost sense of technology.
Many creatures stopped in front of the "glass plate". He came closer and stepped up to take a look.
It turned out to be a row of more than ten "monitors", but only one displayed a normal image without text. It just played a loop of Tifa's natural scenery, cultural customs, and commercial projects involved by Tifa's people.
Some of the other "displays" were just changing color blocks, some were flashing arrays, and the most special one was a pure black screen. When Li Liang passed by, his skin felt fine vibrations.
Surrounding this screen are crystal creatures wrapped in energy shields. Presumably, these creatures without "eyes" rely on vibration to understand the picture.
All "onlookers" have to buy something from a trash can-like device before leaving, and different races buy different things.
When Li Liang stepped forward, a light screen popped up in the "trash can", showing several options.
1. "Spirit World"
2. "Makosik Times"
3. "Imperial News"
4. "Magic"
5. "Door of Wonders"
6. "Travel Guide to Kokoduma"
7. "Science Illustrated"
It turned out to be magazines and newspapers.
The name is followed by "price". Among them, "Makosik Times" is the cheapest, only costing 1 gold, and other magazines are 10 gold.
Li Liang threw a bead into the hole under the light curtain, and the "trash can" spit out a newspaper. He unfolded it and saw that everything was a moving image.
Bang.
The trash can rang again.
I saw Timo arrogantly buying the most expensive copy of "Magic".
"..."
Li Liang tucked the newspaper under his arm and waved to Teemo.
"Do you know why I chose to believe your lies?" Timo shook his head and handed over the magazine, "Because a real demigod cannot be as poor as you."
Li Liang's face didn't change as he took "Magic" and flipped through it.
It turned out to be a research journal on magic theory. The longest article was titled "On the influence of the magical characteristics of the 'resonance' essence, the 'creature' path, and the scepter's sephiroth on the native non-intelligent species." The text is accompanied by dynamic pictures.
It's a good read.
Li Liang closed the magazine and gave it back to Teemo.
In the building adjacent to the Tifami Embassy, there is also a row of screens erected at the door, and the one with images is constantly switching between different texts.
It's a pity that there are no Chinese characters.
However, looking at the open front door, it looks like a restaurant inside, which must be "The Only One in Ti Xing".
The two of them crossed the threshold and entered the restaurant.
At first glance, it is said that it is a restaurant, but it is more like the "canteen" of the Tifami people. Most of the guests are short, fat, neckless Tifami people, and there is only one table with three silver-haired Tyranids. There are several Sayad demons with smoking horns sitting on a table in the corner.
The waiter, who was also a Tifami, came up to him and praised: "Oh my god, distinguished guest, you are so tall." Noticing Teemo's unkind expression, he pretended to be shocked and said, "Oh my god, what happened to a Yodle man today?" What a good day?"
"Are there any seats left?" Li Liang looked around the hall.
"Of course, please come this way." The waiter walked with a bump and led the two of them through the hall to the archway leading to another area. There was a film of changing colors inside the door frame.
In Ling's vision, Li Liang discovered that this was a teleportation technique similar to that of the Glory Pillar, but the structure was much simpler than the giant pillar.
The feeling of passing through the "membrane" was very slight, and almost in the blink of an eye, he appeared in a gorgeously decorated palace-like banquet hall.
Both in height and depth, it far exceeds the size it appears from the outside.
He recalled the "Magic Real Estate" advertisement he saw in Makosik, which probably had a similar effect.
There were not many guests in the banquet hall. It seemed that not everyone liked to stay in a space created by Taoism or magic.
"I have to wait for a friend. Let's find a table outside," Li Liang turned around and said.
"OK."
Afterwards, the two found a corner to sit down in the hall outside.
The waiter stood by the table, raised his head and asked: "You two, do you want me to introduce you to Tifami's delicacies?"
Li Liang took out the remaining six beads from his pocket and slapped them on the table: "According to this standard, what can you eat?"
Teemo and the Tifami waiter were stunned together.
A few minutes later.
Teemo gritted his teeth and called the waiter again and started ordering.
Li Liang, who was opposite him, unfolded the newspaper and took a sip from the only drink Three Beads could buy.
Oh, it would be nice to drink some hot water.
