The speed of the land Zhulong was gradually increasing. Su Yun looked back and saw that Shuofang City was gradually getting farther away, while Tianshiyuan was getting closer and closer.
The next stop of the Zhulong chariot is Tianshiyuan, and the second stop is Hexi to the east of Tianshiyuan.
Su Yun once studied Yuanshuo's geography with Mr. Yehu, and knew that Tianshiyuan was a flying land from the sky that fell into Shuofang, separating Hexi and Hedong from Shuofang.
If you want to rush from Shuofang to Hexi, you must cross the flattest and lowest natural moat in Tianshiyuan. Otherwise, you need to take a detour to Hedong, which is a long detour from Hedong and takes thousands of miles more.
Therefore, the shortest way is to go from Tianshiyuan to Hexi. Although the road is steep, it takes less time.
When the land Zhulong drove into Tianshiyuan, the feeling of time and space confusion came again, but this discomfort quickly disappeared.
The time in Tianshiyuan was about three hours faster than that in Shuofang. When the Zhulong chariot set out from Shuofang, it was noon when it arrived at Tianshiyuan. However, when it reached the territory of Tianshiyuan, the sun was setting and the sunset was red.
Su Yun looked at the sunset outside the window. He placed the wooden box on the table. It turned into flying sand, changing between his fingers.
Daosheng was very disgusted with the girl Wutong who was sitting next to him. Whenever he glanced at Wutong, he would frown slightly.
Wutong was also surprisingly quiet and did not provoke him.
She could see how powerful Daozu was, and she didn't even dare to have the thought of tempting herself to fall into depravity.
Li Zhuxian was very excited and kept asking Li Muge about the Yanshi puppet. He planned to help the spiritualist guarding the Zhulong chariot to fight against the Yanshi puppet at night.
"Fellow Daoist, where will the ghosts and gods go after fulfilling their wishes?" Su Yun retracted his gaze, looked at the Taoist Saint, and asked.
The old Taoist's eyes fell on the flowing dust between his fingers and shook his head, saying, "Many people are exploring this matter. Some people say that after their wishes are fulfilled, they will no longer have treasures and wealth, and they will enter the depths of the ghost market, be forgotten, and disappear. Some people have also seen that after ghosts and gods have no wishes, they will become extremely light and fly into the sky. As for what the real situation is, the old Taoist does not know."
Su Yun played with the wooden box, his eyes dim as he said, "When I was a child, there lived a man named Cen Bo under the old willow tree at the entrance of the town. He took good care of me. Before I regained my sight, he said he had no more wishes and wanted to leave Tianmen Town and Tianshiyuan, and then he left."
He raised his head and said calmly, "I have never even seen his face, so I don't know what he looks like. He was probably the only person who treated me wholeheartedly in my childhood. It was he who gave me the perspective of time and space, and allowed Qu Bo and others to take care of me. It was also he who made me meet the stall owners in Tianshiyuan and establish friendship with them."
He put away the wooden box, looked out the window, and said, "The former master of Tongtian Pavilion, Lou Ban, was a stall owner I met in the ghost market. He entrusted this treasure to me. I didn't know that the key was of great importance. Not only did I have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting Shuofang, but I also had to be the master of Tongtian Pavilion. He asked me to meet him when I leave Shuofang."
The setting sun outside the window sank below the mountain, and Tianshiyuan fell into darkness.
The calamity ash lamp in the Candle Dragon Chariot lit up, and the spiritual masters in the attic on the second floor activated their Buddhist magical powers, transforming themselves into mirrors, illuminating the darkness.
In the darkness, the Yanshi puppets hanging in the valleys, in the dense forests, and even on the bodies of gods and demons, all woke up and flapped their wings and flew over.
Li Zhuxian immediately jumped out of the window, and Li Muge had no choice but to follow her to prevent her from getting into trouble.
"If I go to see him, and he doesn't have his last wish, I'm afraid he will disappear without a trace like Uncle Cen, and I'll never see him again." Su Yun said with a complicated look.
Not long after, the Zhulong chariot stopped at the Tianshiyuan Post Station. Zhulong held a dragon ball in his mouth, shining like a torch, illuminating the past and dispersing the black masses of demons that were rushing towards the post station.
There were some residents from Tianshiyuan in the post station, climbing onto the bus carrying luggage of varying sizes.
This was the peak season after the disaster, and many Tianshiyuan residents were preparing to go to Hexi City to work.
This side of Tianshiyuan Post Station is an old uninhabited area, and the other side is a disorderly area. You don’t have to walk far to reach the Tianshi Temple where Lou Ban is enshrined.
Su Yun hesitated for a moment and looked into the distance at the disordered area of Tianshiyuan. There, the sky was filled with light and the ghosts and gods came out to play at night, making it extremely lively.
"If you want to go, there is still time." Daosheng said softly.
Su Yun shook his head and did not get out of the car.
Daosheng stopped talking.
Not long after, Zhulong let out a melodious dragon roar, slowly set off, and headed east.
At night, Tianshiyuan is a place of lights and music, with palaces and temples everywhere, decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Amid the lights, shadows of people can be seen everywhere.
The Zhulong chariot drove into the disordered area, with the Zhulong holding a pearl, illuminating the area dozens of miles ahead.
Suddenly, there was a rumble of carriages in the sky like thunder. A convoy was running in the air, getting lower and lower. Most of the people in the convoy were majestic gods and demons, surrounding the emperor's chariot.
Seeing this, Dao Sheng raised his eyebrows and sneered, "You old thief who stole the world!"
That convoy was the owner of Dongling touring Tianshiyuan. They followed the Zhulong chariot as if they were guarding it. The Zhulong roared loudly, and the dragon horse pulling the owner of Dongling's chariot also raised its head and neighed loudly.
Su Yun pushed open the car window and greeted the owner of Dongling who was sitting behind the curtain.
Behind the curtain, the spirit of the great emperor bowed, and a ghost god flew over and said, "The master said that Master Lou is waiting for the stall owners in front."
Su Yun was stunned for a moment, and the convoy immediately accelerated.
Li Zhuxian and Li Muge were standing on the carriage of the Zhulong chariot at this moment. Looking up, they saw the convoy of the owner of Dongling passing over them, with all kinds of exotic beasts leaping over them, shining brightly.
Suddenly, the lights in front of the post road were bright, and Zhulong, holding a pearl, rushed forward along the post road and entered the town. The town looked like stacked wooden blocks, changing ever-changing in front of them, with brackets supporting beams, long bridges lying on the waves, art galleries and bookshops, palaces and halls, extending forward continuously.
More tall buildings rose from the ground, and the post road turned into a bridge of clouds. Zhulong drove a number of carriages as big as small buildings onto the bridge of clouds, driving between the brightly lit tall buildings.
The big bird Tianfeng, which had been sitting quietly on Zhulong's back and pretending to be a carriage, stood up involuntarily at this moment, its eyes shining, its beak opening, and it uttered an exclamation.
In the Zhulong chariot, everyone looked out the window at the various incredible yet magnificent and splendid buildings rising from the ground. The Zhulong ran along the cloud bridge, walking in the night sky of the city.
The city, streets, and cloud bridges rose higher and higher, like pearls in the sky, magnificent and yet beautiful. The Zhulong chariot was like dust in the pearl.
Although the Zhulong chariot was moving forward, it was actually walking among the pearls.
Outside the pearl, a huge hand slowly spread out and held the heavenly city in its palm.
"Master Su, you should go and meet him."
The Taoist Saint looked up at the face of the god outside the sky, his eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, "Master Lou Tian has the supernatural power of a saint, which is vast and boundless. No one has surpassed him in the attainments of new learning for a hundred years. If you don't go to see him, I'm afraid we will have a hard time getting out of Tianshiyuan."
Su Yun hesitated for a moment, pushed open the carriage and walked out.
The dusty sky flew out from his spiritual world, changing into various forms, lifting him up and making him seem like he was walking on clouds.
The Zhulong chariot was running below him, but its speed was much slower than that of the Dust Curtain Sky. Soon Su Yun arrived at the head of the Zhulong and saw darkness in front of him. Countless bricks and tiles were flying and paving a cloud bridge under the feet of the Zhulong.
On both sides, dust swirled and turned into buildings in the sky.
Su Yun bowed: "My friend from the upper class stall."
Suddenly, a hall appeared in front of Zhulong. The door of the hall opened and Zhulong rushed into the hall. A cloud bridge appeared under Zhulong's feet. Zhulong led the people in the car to climb up in the hall, circling all the way upwards.
But I saw that this hall had countless floors and went beyond the sky.
Su Yun fell from Zhulong's back, and the dusty sky turned into a cloud platform rising up, and a small Tianshi Temple appeared on the cloud platform.
The Zhulong chariot was still above, climbing higher and higher, getting farther and farther away from here.
Su Yun pushed open the door and saw Lou Ban standing in front of the main hall of his temple lighting lanterns.
Su Yun followed his gaze and saw thousands of lights lit up, thousands of flames in the sky, and a bright moon swept away the stars, leaving only the lights in the sky and the round moon.
They were clearly inside a hall, but at this moment the space was changing and they could no longer see the hall or the Zhulong chariot.
The bright moon in the sky appears extremely bright, and thousands of lights and flames are like stars, forming a road that leads straight to the sky.
"Master Tongtian Pavilion wants to build a bridge that leads directly to the fairyland on the other side of the world."
Lou Ban stood in front of the main hall, where his own golden statue was. Looking at the lights in the sky, he smiled and said, "When I first became the master of Tongtian Pavilion, I vowed to find this fairyland. In my lifetime, I have built fairy palaces and divine cities in the mortal world. My ambition is to make mortals feel like they are living in heaven."
Su Yun stood beside him, followed his gaze and looked up into the sky, whispering: "I am not ready to be the master of Tongtian Pavilion..."
"There is no such thing as being prepared in this world."
Lou Ban smiled and said, "Master Su, when you grow up, you will find that the more you want to prepare everything, the more you will find that you are not prepared enough. And time will slowly pass by while you are preparing, so just do it."
A bridge appeared under his feet, and a covered bridge stretched across the sky.
Louban stood on the bridge, rising from the Tianshi Temple. The bridge was suspended between the bright moon and the Tianshi Temple, and the fireworks from the bright lanterns illuminated the bridge.
Lou Ban turned around and waved to him: "I have found the next Pavilion Master. It is time to fulfill my original intention and look for the fairyland on the other side of the world. When I find it, Pavilion Master Su..."
The bridge continued to extend into the void, and the buildings gradually moved farther and farther away.
"You build this bridge!"
Su Yun looked up and saw the lights in the sky gradually fading away, and Lou Ban was nowhere to be seen.
"Gee—"
The cry of Zhulong was heard, and the Zhulong under Su Yun's feet was running, and rows of small buildings passed under the dust under his feet.
He landed quietly on a small wooden building. Zhulong was running along the cliffs of a large canyon, with a cliff thousands of feet high under his feet!
That is the boundary between Tianshiyuan and Hexi.
Finally, the Zhulong chariot came to a bridge, rushed onto the long steel bridge, and rushed down.
Below, the long river is rolling, and the surging water is like a galloping horse.
Su Yun returned to the carriage and took out the mirror that Qiu Shuijing had given him. There was a bright moon in the mirror, which represented his longing.
At this moment, he was stunned. He saw a thin bridge spreading outward next to the moon in the mirror.
Su Yun was stunned, rubbed his eyes, and opened the Taoist's third eye to look carefully.
There is indeed a bridge next to the moon in the mirror!
And Lou Ban’s spirit is walking on the bridge!
