In the ordinary, at the end of rationality, beyond the world you are familiar with—is a scenery you have never imagined.
When Yu Sheng first opened that door, the world he was familiar with...
Chapter 466 The world is full of fireworks
Yu Sheng walked out of the gate, looked back in confusion in the direction of the main peak of Lingshan, and frowned slightly.
Hu Li immediately came over curiously: "What's wrong, benefactor?"
"Nothing, I just felt like someone called my name," Yu Sheng thought for a moment and waved his hand carelessly, "It's not a big deal, maybe I heard it wrong."
"oh oh."
Hu Li nodded and then began to look around excitedly.
There is a big city at the foot of Qianfeng Lingshan Mountain. Yu Sheng had been here once before in order to "open coordinates" around Lingshan Mountain, but he just passed by in a hurry - after that, he encountered a series of events, so that no one had time to wander around. Now that they finally have some free time, they finally have the opportunity to understand what this "city" on Taixu Lingshu looks like.
Everywhere you look, you can see pavilions, towers, mansions, rows of brothels and teahouses, bustling streets, and tall, classical-style buildings rising from the ground in the distance. Long covered bridges and horizontal stairs connect the buildings. The whole city exudes a wonderful ancient atmosphere, but incredible large-scale architectural structures can be seen everywhere, even seemingly violating the "laws of architecture", which is breathtaking.
Between those large pavilions and covered bridges that look like some kind of majestic beasts, you can see fairy boats of all sizes, an endless stream of shuttles, and all kinds of spiritual lights and colors appearing on the carved high walls and roof surfaces. There are also "buildings" like small buildings, which are driven by mechanical devices and stride through the "tracks" deliberately left between the buildings, walking slowly from one urban area to another.
The ears are filled with the bustling noise of traffic, and in front of them is a large city driven by huge mechanical structures and the power of immortals. The whole city is completely different in style from the "Mo City" on Shuji, but it is also filled with an atmosphere that is both ancient and advanced, both real and dreamy.
The little kids who had followed Yu Sheng and his companions down the hill started shouting with excitement. A few of the older ones grabbed their smartwatches and started snapping photos of the surrounding streets. Others started asking questions about Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White. The little girl closest to Yu Sheng jumped up and pointed at a temple-like building that was slowly flying through the air. "Wow—this building can fly!"
Yu Sheng was also dazzled by the sight. It was a celebration, and the entire city was ablaze with lights and decorations, creating a festive atmosphere. Celebratory messages and stunning, giant holographic projections covered nearly every building in sight. The streets were packed with local and foreign tourists. Looking up, he even saw two monks flying on flying swords, wearing standard Taoist robes, chasing a local fox that streaked across the sky in a streak of yellow light. From the discussion among those around him, he realized they were catching a speeder...
Irene had already climbed onto Yu Sheng's shoulders, her two small hands tightly gripping his head, as if she was afraid she'd be knocked down by someone nearby. "Oh my goodness... I knew it was going to be lively down there, but I didn't expect it to be this lively."
"This painting style is completely different from the quiet and peaceful Thousand Peaks Mountain," Yu Sheng also sighed with emotion, "To be honest, it has a very down-to-earth feel."
Hu Li beside him nodded again, then tugged at Yu Sheng's sleeve and said, "My benefactor, I want to eat this!"
Yu Sheng looked up and saw a stall on the roadside not far away. There was a big pot with a blue light pulsating at the bottom of the pot. The cakes and pastries in the pot were steaming coldly. Many people were queuing there.
He also went to queue up, and then he saw that there was a large sign next to the stall. There was a bunch of words on the sign, the main content of which was that in XX years, there was a down-and-out cultivator who was frustrated and lost the Lingshan election and ended up here. Then, an old lady with a bold and underlined name saw that he was almost starving and gave him a piece of snack. After eating it, the cultivator's mind suddenly opened up and his meridians were opened. He rushed to Lingshan, overcame many difficulties and defeated many generals, and successfully passed the entrance exam for the 56th Lingbeast Postpartum Nursing major at the Beast Control Peak...
Yu Sheng was amused when he saw it. It turned out that Taixu Lingshu and other folks who studied cultivation were also doing this...
He was laughing when Irene started to scratch his head: "Hey, stop laughing. Do you have any money? I think they use spirit stones or something like that..."
Then Yu Sheng pointed to a small mirror placed next to the stall. There was a note under the mirror: This store supports payment through Xingchen Lianfu/Lingshitong/Tonghe Payment/Terra Quick Payment channels.
"You're kidding. You're the capital planet of an interstellar civilization, and you're still worried about not being able to spend your money?" Yu Sheng rolled his eyes. "Besides, the Yuanling has been open to the public in Taixu Lingshu for decades. I'm afraid even beggars at the foot of Qianfeng Lingshan would support you in scanning the QR code with your phone at the border..."
Irene was stunned when she heard this and scratched Yu Sheng's head: "How can there be beggars in this place?"
Yu Sheng broke out in a cold sweat: "Metaphor, I'm just using a metaphor."
A few minutes later, the people queuing in front of the stall dispersed. Yu Sheng and his friends came out from behind the crowd. Hu Li grabbed cakes and pastries from his tail and stuffed them into his mouth one by one as he walked. Behind them was the stall owner, who still had a dazed look in his eyes. The pot on the stall was empty, and even the seasoning bottles were emptied...
After walking a few steps forward, Hu Li started tugging at Yu Sheng's sleeve again: "My benefactor, I want to eat that!!"
From then on, the following sentences basically began to repeat: "My benefactor, I want to eat this too! My benefactor, I want to eat that too! My benefactor, is this delicious? My benefactor, please try this... and you should try that too!"
Fortunately, Yu Sheng wasn't short of money now. In the past, he would never have dared to walk his fox on a street filled with delicious food. Back then, he'd only allowed Huli to stroll along the riverbank. After all, at most, there were a few vendors selling sausages and marshmallows there...
The prices at the foot of Qianfeng Mountain are really high.
But then he thought about it again, this was the hotel's first firepower unit replenishing ammunition, and he suddenly felt that all this was worthwhile, so he raised his hand and stuffed another ten trays of buns into the fox's tail...
As for the fairytale pup study group led by Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel, they disappeared by the time Hu Li had finished their third meal. Before leaving, Rapunzel said she was taking the little dolls to see a street performance next door—where some wandering cultivators were performing chest-smashing boulder-smashing and bone-regenerating techniques...
Honestly, Yu Sheng found the performance rather suspicious, and doubted whether it was appropriate for children to watch. But then he thought, considering the intense dreams that children who grew up in "fairy tales" have faced, watching a boulder smashing their chest might just be a refreshing eye-opener.
He led Hu Li and Luna, carrying a doll on his shoulder (with an ominous star floating next to the doll's head), and the four of them (on a ball) walked on the street, without any goal, just strolling around with an empty mind.
During this time, he fed Hu Li a lot of strange things, many of which he even doubted whether ordinary people could eat. By the way, he also bought Irene a bunch of miscellaneous gadgets such as hairpins, buttons, and luminous beads - frankly speaking, many of these things were of no use to Irene with her current 66.6 cm tall body, but she just liked to collect these beautiful gadgets.
Yu Sheng's bedside table is now filled with a bunch of these "collections" like dolls, and she usually doesn't let anyone touch it.
Finally, Yu Sheng's attention was focused on Luna, who had been following him silently.
"It's a rare opportunity for you to come out, why don't you buy something?" He looked at the artificial saint who had been quiet all the way and asked curiously.
Luna thought about it and slowly shook her head: "I, didn't see, what I wanted."
"That's right. C-shaped buckle usually spends his time either standing around at home and daydreaming or working in the valley," Irene muttered, shaking her head. "This place doesn't look like they sell farm tools."
Yu Sheng touched his chin. "Then let's go for a walk. We finally have this opportunity. Luna, look around more. What if you find something that interests you? Don't always stay stuck in the wilderness of your soul. Give the real world some space..."
Luna nodded slowly, then continued walking down the street with Yu Sheng. After walking just two steps, she actually discovered something. She raised her hand and tugged at Yu Sheng's arm, "Yes, I'm interested. Okay."
As she spoke, she took the initiative to walk forward, as if she had really discovered a treasure.
It is not common to see Miss Saint in such a positive state. Yu Sheng was startled when he saw this. He quickly looked up in the direction of Luna's sight, and then saw a lot of people gathering in front - he also moved forward a few steps and finally saw a stall there. What was sold on the stall seemed to be just various souvenirs and decorations.
Yu Sheng was a little surprised. He hadn't expected Luna to be interested in such things. After all, the style of the things on the stall was designed to deceive outsiders. He had seen many of them in the scenic area. But the next second, he saw the best-made "treasure of the store" placed in the middle of the pile of souvenirs. It was a human figure about 20 centimeters tall. The appearance was very familiar. Looking closely, he saw a small sign on the base of the figure with a line of golden words:
The great saint and sage of great virtue saves people in distress and is the True Lord of Life.
Yu Sheng: “……?”
After being stunned for less than two seconds, Ailin started pulling Yu Sheng's hair: "Hey, hey, hey, this little guy looks like you! It's just that he seems a little too handsome. Your face is not that pretty..."
Yu Sheng finally reacted and exclaimed "Oh shit".
As soon as he finished speaking, there was no movement from the crowd around him. However, the stall owner opposite, who had his back turned and was busy sorting things, suddenly started to wake up, then stood up and turned around, looking at Yu Sheng in surprise.
It’s TM Yuanhao.
He had his signature white hair blackened, and put on some clothes he'd gotten from somewhere that looked like the uniforms of the scenic area staff. He set up a stall here—selling blessed souvenirs and Yu Sheng's figurines...
