From the Lanzhou border to New Chang'an, the Lanxin Line spans 6,300 light-years and is the longest transportation line in the empire. During it, there are bright stars and magnificent scenery, from the rough and heroic frontier fortress to the prosperity and magnificence of Xia and Yang Xingzhou. Moving on to the majestic atmosphere of Kyoto, along with the advancement of transportation lines, there are multiple and gradual gradients of colors. The glaze reflects the light, and there are ten thousand colors. It is also the most famous long line on the imperial tourism transportation map, from New Chang'an to Lanzhou, or from Lanzhou to New Chang'an. A real journey will be a spiritual walk of at least three months. The luxurious cruise ship carries the cosmic wind and you. Every time it passes by a star continent, it will stop. How many days will it stop? Ancient civilizations, historical memories and the most hearty enjoyment intersect and reflect, wonderful...
Gu Hanhan was full of longing and expectations for the journey to Tangdu. Since arriving at the Lanzhou border, Gu Hanhan's ring has been online. She checked the Tang Dynasty travel guide, especially the section from Lanzhou to New Chang'an. The description of the travel company is very attractive, and? Ming? Zhu Ye told Gu Hanhan that their trip would last more than three months, which made Gu Hanhan look forward to it, thinking that it would be a wonderful trip. The level of beauty will exceed the description of the guide and the introduction of the travel company, and she will be able to immerse herself in the beauty and fantasy of this joy of travel. At least before arriving in New Chang'an, she will not be able to worry about the future or the present. . After all, to be happy in life, you need to have fun.
But the reality was ruthless and brought Gu Hanha a disillusionment. At least Gu Hanhan did not expect before setting off that this journey would actually be so boring and boring.
The scale of the fleet's return journey was extremely large. The Li Tang Empire used more than 100,000 warships to divide the fleet into "eight directions" to defend the center. And even if we don't count these peripheral guard forces, there are hundreds of astronomical units just in the front, rear, left and right of the Nordic Fish, serving as guards of honor and guards, meandering in the void. Compared with when he was found in the isolation zone by the Lanzhou Protectorate Fleet and escorted to Jiluo, it was so insignificant and shocking. But according to Mingzhu, this is how their Tang clan leader should look when traveling.
Of course, such a formation cannot go quickly. The fleet has to jump from star to star along the route. Just like a cruise ship on a tourist line, it has to stop at every star and stand for a few days, and then follow. What's different about cruise ships is that the memories of ancient civilizations, history and hearty enjoyment no longer exist. Li Tang's ancestral palace has altars in every star system in the empire, and there are ancestral temples in every star continent. These altars and ancestral temples can be used as temporary palaces, and all these altars and ancestral temples are built on In space. Every time the North Pluto fish arrives at a star continent, it will directly enter these huge palaces that are independent of the void, and will not land on the star system or even the surface of the planet at all. Not to mention travel and sightseeing.
And when they landed, the outside of the space was already crowded with worshipers. The temple altar built in the void has a vast space that cannot be matched by any altar on the surface. The number of people who can attend the meeting can be infinite, and it only needs to continue to expand the space square around the outer circle of the altar. Gu Hanhan had never seen such a magnificent worship scene, even though she had been a frequent visitor to the sacred mountain of the Acropolis and had witnessed more than one grand sacrifice with her own eyes.
Countless people are like mist among the stars, turning into waves outside the palace, smearing endlessly into the extreme darkness in the distance. The crowd waved their arms and cheered Lord Li Shen's name. They were excited, excited, pious, and shouting at the top of their lungs, mixed with countless complex emotions. Their cheers and shouts turned into raging waves and tsunami. Even while staying in the spaceship, Gu Hanhan felt this overwhelming pressure and strong sense of suffocation. What she saw in front of her made her hair stand on end. The nobles of the Acropolis never allowed believers to be brought to them. The energy field blocked everything. Gu Hanhan had never known that the power of faith was so terrifying. This was the first time she was so direct and straightforward. She had to face this power head-on. Now there was nothing between them and this power, only a thin spacecraft shell. The navigation tower's dazzling light shone in from the terrace window, reflecting the countless enthusiastic faces of the people outside the window. Gu Hanhan subconsciously retreated, trying to hide in the shadow behind Mr. Li Shen, but was overtaken by Mr. Li Shen's quick eyes and hands. Pulled back.
"Don't hide," he said. "We have to go out later?"
Gu Hanhan was confused for a moment: "What does it mean to go out?"
"The literal meaning," Li Shen replied, "is that we are going to get out of the spacecraft."
Gu Hanhan felt horrified and felt his hair stand on end: "Go out, how do you go? The spaceship doesn't directly dock. Do we have to walk through these people below who are calling your name? Oh my God, the Milky Way is four thousand years old. ,I thought--"
Siluke
"But faith has existed since four thousand years before history," Li Shen interrupted Gu Hanhan and said, "and it will still exist in another hundred thousand years."
He glanced at her and said, "So you should start adapting in advance from now on and don't hide."
Gu Hanhan thought to himself, is this a matter of adapting or not? I don't think I need to go with you to undergo this test. I can definitely go in with the spacecraft carrying miscellaneous luggage behind. They should be directly connected to the ship's side, right?
However, Mr. Li Shen had already turned his eyes away, and Gu Hanhan could not escape from this retreat. He seemed to want to cut ties with Mr. Li Shen and was unwilling to go with him. He said these very hurtful words. .
And even if he adapts in advance, there is not much time left for Gu Hanhan to adapt. Soon, it was time to get out of the spaceship. As expected, the Bei Mingyu did not make an inboard connection during landing, but landed directly in the middle of the altar. There was a berthing platform built by Li Tang specifically for the sect leader's ship, called the leading platform. When the spacecraft lands, gravitational waves will be emitted from the eight huge pillars surrounding the altar, setting up a gravitational bridge between the altar and the temple. Then the head of the Tang Dynasty would personally walk out from the terrace of the spaceship and enter the temple through this gravity bridge.
The actual span of a gravity bridge is only a few dozen kilometers, and it only takes more than ten minutes to travel under the influence of gravity, but they will be completely exposed to external space. Especially in the last kilometer of this journey, the interface of the gravity bridge will be completely flat on the same gravity plane as the space square of the pilgrims after sufficient landing buffering. In other words, in the last kilometer, they will pass directly through the crowds of pilgrims, with nothing but artificial air separating them from the crowds. Moreover, Gu Hanhan also learned that gravity drag will specifically reduce the speed in the last kilometer, to a level that allows the pilgrims on both sides of the gravity bridge to pay homage to the "Holy Face", which means that they must have time to see it. That kind of parade speed of Lord Li Shen’s face.
Gu Hanhan was caught off guard by this kind of bad news that he only learned at the last minute. He couldn't find any ideas for a while. The only thought in his mind was that the word "pay tribute" might be a bit wrong here.
The servants came in and changed Lord Li Shen's clothes in a mess. They took off his plain robe and put on a dark black dress again. The dress was extremely luxurious, with layers of layers hanging down several meters long. It was densely covered with stars, and the luster of gold and silver embroidery was inlaid with the bright light of energy stones, as if it was dragging the entire galaxy, extremely gorgeous.
Gu Hanhan had never seen Li Shen dressed in such a gorgeous outfit, and the light made him look like bright jewels and jade, shining as brilliantly as the sun and the moon. Before she had time to appreciate it carefully, she was sent to the terrace together with Mr. Li Shen and the guards who were crowding over.
In front of the terrace, a gravity bridge has been built, and the white light is thrown through an arc in the void, disappearing into the crowd of worshipers in the space square, and leading to the gate of the temple. In a panic, Gu Hanhan saw the guard leader making a gesture to the outside, and the shield in front of the terrace was opened directly. The sound of cheers rushed in instantly, and there were screams everywhere, making the unprepared Gu Hanhan instantly deaf. Her eardrums screamed sharply, and then went numb in dull pain. She saw Master Li Shen turn around and say something to her, but she didn't hear it at all. She only remembered the emotion in his eyes as he looked back and the excitement in that startling glance, and then he was on guard. Stepped out of the terrace surrounded by people.
He did not use any energy at all. He slowly landed along the light interface of the bridge membrane under the influence of gravity. The crowd below cheered and shouted even louder. The cosmic wind blew his clothes and turned them up. The stars are shining brightly. Gu Hanhan's hearing recovered somewhat, and she heard Master Li Shen's name being called from all directions. The sound vibrated back and forth across the entire space interface, splashing in all directions, making people dizzy. Don't distinguish things. Then, before she had time to react, she was swept out of the terrace by the guards and honor guards and stepped onto the gravity bridge.
Gravity dragged Gu Hanhan downward, like a plucked quail suddenly thrown into a boiling pot of oil. She was completely confused for at least five minutes. Lord Li Shen was accompanied by many guards and ceremonial guards. Gu Hanhan's eyes were filled with the white robes of the royal priests and the fluttering golden holy flags and emblems. The sky was filled with the black and red mechas of the guards, and the void further away. , the escort fleet formed a certain array, looking from a distance it looked like a golden lotus blooming in the universe. Gu Hanhan took a few deep breaths and realized that she was walking with the Chief Attendant Mingzhu. There were more than ten meters between them and Mr. Li Shen. There was a guard of honor in the middle, and they were being praised by a group of people on both sides. Priests carrying sacred vessels gathered inside.
Gu Hanhan woke up a little, and became extremely nervous when he saw Mr. Li Shen walking alone in front, who was so attracted by the grand scene like colorful clouds chasing the moon.
"There won't be a live broadcast, right?" she asked Mingzhu, "Can you take a video? Will I be filmed for the whole universe to see?"
Mingzhu was used to seeing big scenes like walking in the garden. She stood firm under the gravitational waves. She comforted Gu Hanhan with a calm voice and said with a smile: "There will definitely be videos and live broadcasts. However, both the laws of the empire and the code of the temple strictly prohibit the camera from being directed at the sect leader himself. The scope of the live broadcast is limited to long-range projection. Meetings of this size are usually only broadcast within the empire and require approval from the sect."
