Chapter 3 The Realm of Immortals
Saint-Pining Hospital lobby.
Standing in front of Hua Sheng, who was wearing a brand new jacket, was the woman in a black suit she had seen not long ago, but at this time she changed into a dark gray Hanfu.
"Sorry, Lao Bai can't come today if he has something to do. Anyway, it's not a complicated job, so I'll take you to complete it. You can call me Heiyun." She crossed her hands on her chest and said, "Now, go to the entrance procedures of Shudao Academy with me. You came very coincidental, just in the new school year."
"Entering school? Am I going to continue studying here?" Hua Sheng thought to himself, indeed he hadn't returned to school for a long time.
"When you reach age, you should learn something wherever you go. Isn't it?"
"What subject is that to study? Chinese, mathematics, physics and chemistry?"
"No, no." Heiyun shook his head, then opened his mouth and said, "I have to learn the clone technique, invisibility technique, speeding old technique, ascension technique, ascension technique, cloud raising technique, sky climbing technique, emptiness technique, divine movement technique, water separation technique, water walking technique..."
Hua Sheng hurriedly asked him to stop and said, "Wait! What subjects are they studying?"
"Immortal Art!"
"Immortal art? Is it the kind of immortal art that gods?"
Heiyun explained: "Not bad! Fairy art is the same as the painting, calligraphy, and carving in the mortal world. It is said that it is good at technology and craftsmanship. So not only can gods and immortals use it, but you should have heard of some fairies and Taoists. As long as you practice hard, you will naturally learn and use fairy art."
"So that's it!" Hua Sheng seemed to understand.
Following the black clouds out of the hospital gate, the dazzling sunshine made Hua Sheng unable to open his eyes. After his eyes slowly adapted to the bright sunlight, a magnificent ancient capital was revealed before his eyes.
The tall buildings stand in the field of view, and the building height is no less than that of the first-tier cities that Hua Sheng has seen. When you look closely, they are all built with blue bricks and white tiles. Some thirty-story buildings are actually wooden exterior walls.
The streets were full of traffic and people were coming and going, and people looked like Han and Tang dynasties. The cuffs of men's clothes were wide, mostly blue, green, and blue. The girls were wearing long skirts underneath, with high waists, and some even tied to their armpits and tied with ribbons, making them look extremely pretty and slender.
If there were no various modern-shaped means of transportation on the street, Hua Shenghou felt that he had traveled back and forth in an instant, and it was like the society at that time had never been destroyed by war and invaded by the great powers, and had been peaceful and prosperous for thousands of years, and was passed down to today.
Hua Sheng was amazed and moved by the resonance that surged out from nowhere.
Heiyun looked at Hua Sheng, who was covering his mouth and smiled: "Welcome to the fairyland of Saint Pingning, the modern Peach Blossom Land."
Hua Sheng was anxious and asked several questions in a row: "What is this place? Is this still on the earth? How could there be such a big city?"
"Strictly speaking, it is not just a city. In terms of territory, it is not an exaggeration to compare with the country." Heiyun said, "The Holy Pinning Wonderland has existed for nearly 1,500 years. The details of history are enough for you to hear it for several years."
"That's a long story?"
Heiyun walked to a car and said, "Get on the car first, let's go to the Shudao Academy and talk slowly on the way."
At first glance, Hua Sheng thought it was a convertible five-seater sedan, but when he got closer, he found that the upper half was a transparent glass cover. When the person was sitting in the car, he could completely look around and look up at the sky. He opened the rear door of the car and sat in.
"Do you think I'm the driver?" Heiyun glanced at Hua Sheng, "Please get out of the back and sit in front."
Hua Sheng thought of the etiquette of riding the car, sat in the front passenger seat with an awkward look on his face, and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry!"
Heiyun closed the car door and said, "Put on the seat belt."
Hua Sheng obediently and obediently.
Although Heiyun was sitting in the driver's seat, Hua Sheng did not see any steering wheel. The two were sitting in the first row of the second floor of the double-decker bus. After sitting down, Heiyun said to the front, "Please take us to the Shudao Academy."
A gentle female voice sounded in the car: "This trip takes about a quarter of an hour to go. You can set off."
"So amazing!" Hua Sheng sighed.
"This tool was found five hundred years ago. Because the sedan chair owner is too slow, if you walk long distances, you have to find a station to change it frequently, which is very inconvenient."
"This is obviously a car!"
"It's very similar to your mortal cars, but the materials are slightly different. When moving, it depends on talismans. If you are not a passenger with strong mana, you may need to change a new talisman for every 500,000 miles of driving. If you encounter extremely harsh environments, the time for talismans will be shortened accordingly."
Hua Sheng looked at the car window and knocked it with his hand, making a thud: "This is also glass?"
"Color-changing glazed glass." As he said that, Heiyun raised his index finger with his right hand, drew a circle in the air, and immediately the light in the car dimmed. It turned out that the glazed glass around him turned dark gray. Then, the lights in the roof began to light up, ensuring that the inside of the car was not pitch black.
Seeing that the flowery childlike innocence was instantly activated, Heiyun said, "You can also try it."
Hua Sheng imitated the black cloud and raised his left index finger. He turned towards the sky in the opposite direction just now, and the surrounding glass covers brightened again. Interestingly, when the fingers push, he felt a damping, as if he was really mediating a certain device without turning too fast. All mediating feels endless.
"Click it and try."
“Where to press?”
"Just press up."
Hua Sheng tried to use his fingers to force it up, and the ceiling and the glass on the left and right sides contracted downwards. In an instant, it turned into a convertible. The weather outside the car was slightly cool, and fresh air instantly poured into Hua Sheng's lungs, and he was immediately energetic.
Hua Sheng raised his hands and felt the breeze flowing through his fingers.
The pavilions on both sides of the road continued to swim backwards. On the pavilions on the street, there were several elegant ladies wearing beautiful Hanfu, shaking round fans and chatting. From time to time, they heard ridiculous things and laughed so hard that they leaned back and forth.
"This car is driven by immortal arts. Will it fly?"
"Yes. Generally, it won't fly too high. Only when traffic conditions are not good, it will rise by five meters. If it flies too high, it will affect the gods who fly with swords or cranes. And mortals like you have a proportion of about 30%. Many older mortals are afraid of heights, so ordinary vehicles will not drive at too high places."
Hua Sheng was deeply attracted by the St. Pingning, and his mind was filled with millions of question marks: "Where is this St. Pingning?"
"East Sea." Heiyun said.
"Land by the East China Sea?"
"No. It's in the East China Sea."
"In the sea? No, we are obviously on land?" Hua Sheng looked up at the sky, then looked at the land under his feet, where was the sea.
"The sky you see is transformed by magic, a reflection of the real sky of the East China Sea. In fact, the entire Saint-Pining is hidden in the sea."
"Isn't that the underwater capital? It's cool, that kind of Atlantis?" Hua Sheng was very excited.
"It cannot be said that, because Saint-Pining does not exist at the bottom of the sea. It is suspended in the middle of the sea."
"Isn't that like a ship? Why don't you feel dizzy at all?"
"That's also the spell cast."
"How big is this Saint-Pining?"
"You said the area is almost 6.6 million square kilometers, right?"
"Six...6.6 million square kilometers? Just kidding, why no one noticed such a large piece of land in the sea?"
"Because from the outside, St. Pinning is only the size of a drop of water."
"A drop of water?" Hua Sheng was a little confused. He tried to understand the words of Heiyun. "You mean that this place of more than 6 million square kilometers is hidden in a drop of water? Then this drop of water is hidden in the East China Sea?"
"Yes." Heiyun said.
"In this way, Saint Pining is hidden in the world but has never been discovered?"
"The vast majority of people in the mortal world don't know."
"Even a spell, it's too outrageous, right? What kind of water droplets can have such great power?"
"It's a tear from Guan Zizai."
"Isn't that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva?"
"Her real name should be Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva."
"That's it. Where did these tears come from?"
"This is a long story. It starts before the creation of the new holy realm."
Hua Sheng was a little confused: "What are you talking about in the new calendar?"
"The new calendar is relative to the holy realm. The history of the Holy Realm before this is called the holy realm. It was not until the Holy Realm that the Holy Realm was transferred to the tears of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva that the year that began to be calculated was called the holy realm. Now it is the 1316th year of the Holy Realm New Calendar."
When Hua Sheng was listening to the rain and fog, the car slowly stopped.
Heiyun said: "We are here. The St. Pinning has a long history and it will be difficult to describe in detail for a while. You will know it slowly in the future."
Hua Sheng nodded, it seemed that he would not be able to recognize this magical fairyland for a while.
"Get out."
The two got out of the car and saw a five-story stone archway standing in front of them, with four large black characters written on it:
