Chapter 226: The Road to Beijing is Hard to Find
Gao Jian was walking through the city with Shu Jian on his head and Dansha following behind him.

The movement of the divine capital Yangjing is quite interesting, because the city itself is moving, so what you have to do is not to walk through a maze in a static building complex, but to complete your journey by waiting at the right time, changing your position cleverly, and finding some key nodes.

Otherwise, this three-dimensional maze will be difficult to navigate even with a map. You will find that the place you want to go is moving away from you at a rapid speed, and you will have no way to stop it.

One must master some tricks and some special timing to make one's destination fly towards oneself, although this requires some knowledge of astrology, because the operation of the buildings and streets of the Divine Capital is completely in accordance with the ideal celestial constellations.

Therefore, a special profession called guide was born in the gods.

These people have studied in depth how the city of Shendu works and help people find their way. Many people who have lived in Shendu for many years cannot do without a guide. Without a guide, they will definitely get lost in this three-dimensional maze.

But for Gao Jian, he doesn't need this.

He himself understands this.

That is why he is now marveling at the exquisiteness of this huge city.

Theoretically, as long as you float in the sky, find a spot, and stay still, you can circle the entire city in just one year.

How does the saying go? Sitting on the ground, you can travel 80,000 miles a day.

Although it is not as fast as 80,000 miles a day, considering the huge area of Yangjing, the speed of this city is definitely not slow. After such a circle, 80,000 miles a year is definitely more than enough.

Countless suspended urban structures are constantly switching and reconstructing in the way of stars.

When the sundial needle pointed to due north at noon, Gao Jian discovered that the city had completed several regional-level three-dimensional reconstructions. He brought Dansha and Shu Jian, who were already dizzy, and landed on the platform that helped people identify the route. They looked at the many flashing spots of light in the map phantom formed by the illusion, and judged the direction.

Dansha's eyes were full of circles, and he said to Gao Jian in a daze, "You are not lost, are you? Gao Jian, if not, let's find a guide quickly..."

She was almost dizzy. Now facing the flying boats in the sky, floating buildings, flying magic weapons and some people who flew on their own, Dansha's brain needed some time to accept this complicated situation.

Zoulong was also dizzy. In this place, Zoulong couldn't even serve as a mount. It would take some time to get used to it.

Just now, Zou Long saw a carriage pulled by an out-of-control Pegasus crash into a sinking bridge. The Jiaozi beast carved on the bridge railing suddenly came to life, leaped into the air, bit the reins of the Pegasus, and forcibly pulled the aircraft back to the right path. Afterwards, it even collected money as compensation...

"Don't worry, we will definitely find it. I'm counting." Gao Jian lowered his head and looked at the various roads drawn on the map.

The roads are three-dimensional and changeable, so this kind of map is actually a projection created by illusion, which is naturally changing and requires real-time calculation to keep up.

Seeing Gao Jian standing on the platform, a man came over and said, "Do you two need a guide? No matter where you want to go, I can definitely take you there. This shop has been around for decades and has many returning customers every day!"

"No, I can find the way." Gao Jian waved his hand to refuse the other party, and then

"Really? It was the morning hour when we arrived, and it's already noon now. It's almost three hours. Can we really find it?" Shu Jian was lying on top of Gao Jian's head. He also felt a little dizzy.

"Of course I can. Let me take another look. The Four Stars of the Water Palace are in the southwest of the East Well. The Water Official is also..." Gao Jian frowned, thinking about the path, and muttered to himself.

As he spoke, Gao Jian patted the cinnabar.

Dansha rolled her eyes but obediently transformed into her original form, then let Gao Jian step on her head and holding her dragon horns, she began to walk through the capital of gods.

Since I can’t ride a walking dragon, I’ll just ride a real dragon.

To be honest, it's quite eye-catching.

Even in the capital of God, there are only a few people who can ride a dragon.

There are many dragons, but a real dragon being used as a mount is really a rare thing, just like someone driving a state gift car on the street.

I haven't heard of it, but I've never seen it...

It attracted a lot of onlookers along the way, but did not cause any chaos. Fortunately, it was the capital of God after all, and although everyone was curious, they were not too surprised.

After all, in a place like Yangjing, if a brick was thrown down, it might hit someone in the fifth or sixth realm. As for the big shots above, those in the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth realms, or even the earthly immortals, plus their disciples and descendants, it is possible that one of them might have the strength to get a real dragon to ride on, so as not to attract onlookers.

However, even if it is a real dragon, such a beautiful dragon girl is rare, which still makes people somewhat curious.

Dansha obviously hated this, but there was nothing she could do about it now.

She also realized that she could only rely on herself in the current situation.

Gao Jian was even more oblivious to these things. He just directed the direction of Dansha's flight in the sky: "To the left is Jingxiu, to the southeast is Shenxiu, Shuifu 3 and 4 are in this direction, from the eight stars of Dongjing, the south gate of the sky, where the ecliptic passes, the pavilion of the sky, the main water balance... In other words, this area is dominated by water vapor, and as a true dragon, you should be able to use this water vapor. The four stars southwest of Dongjing are Shuifu, and the four stars east of the south wall of Dongjing are Sidu, the essence of Jiang, He, Huai, and Ji. The star Lang is southeast of Dongjing. From here, we can see the position of Tianlang, so our direction is not wrong."

Gao Jian talked incessantly and Dansha listened attentively.

As for Shushu, he couldn't fly very fast and didn't know the way, so he could only stay above Gao Jian's head, constantly looking around and watching the magical scenery of the divine capital Yangjing, and constantly exclaiming in admiration.

As the cinnabar gradually increased its speed, thunder rolled in the depths of the clouds, and some staff could be seen checking the lightning-proof bronze birds that were suspended in the market. The tail feathers of these carved divine birds pointed straight to the sky, and the armillary spheres in their beaks kept adjusting their angles, which was obviously part of the operation of the formation.

Gao Jian passed by these bronze sparrows, looked around, and silently calculated a few formulas in his mind.

At this time, he missed Ximen Gong especially.

This kid, apart from anything else, is really fast at calculating. If the other party was here, Gao Jian wouldn't have taken so much time.

However, Gao Jianman was a little slow, but it was obvious that the direction was correct.

At six quarters after noon, the sun in the sky had just passed the midpoint.

Gao Jian clapped his hands, looked at the construction area in front of him, and said loudly: "We're here! Shuifu, look, I said I was right!"

"My calculation was correct...so can we take a break now?" Dansha twisted her body, looking uncomfortable all over.

How could she be at ease! Everyone passing by had to turn back to take a look at her, which made her dragon scales start to itch!

"Landing, landing! By the way, Gao Jian, when are you going to report to the Imperial College?"

"Within seven days, let's settle down in the capital first." "There seems to be scale polishing over there, I want to try it, I haven't done it since I came out of the East China Sea."

"They are used to polish pets and mounts. Also, can we fix the inn first before considering these?"

"Let's land first! If you delay any longer, the water palace will fly away!"

"Ooooh! I'll speed up right now!"

All in all, in the midst of the chaos, the three of them finally landed on the ground, and then excitedly went to find an inn.

Not to mention Danshahe, who has a lively personality, even someone as calm as Gao Jian is a little excited now.

After all, this is the divine capital Yangjing.

Before I came here, I already had all kinds of expectations.

But when you really get to know this city, you will find that it meets all your expectations before coming here.

A three-dimensional flying city, even if it is just moving, needs to analyze the flow of various gases in the air in real time. The "lights" floating on the waterway are not only lighting tools, but also divide the waterway by releasing spiritual energy fluctuations of different frequencies. For example, the lights on the seismic channel will continue to emit low-frequency vibrations to remind various flying magic weapons and the flyers themselves to maintain sufficient offset.

"The third channel of Xunwei is clear and no passage is allowed!" A voice came from the distant radio.

Then, there was an East Market Archway that was being raised - this fifty-meter-high wooden structure was making a long creaking sound, and the suspended array plates at the bottom were flickering alternately, carrying the shops that opened at noon and moving towards the golden halo above the sea of clouds, because they could no longer stay in this place, so they had to move to another area.

Buildings change and sink into the sea of clouds. This three-dimensional capital city is completing its configuration transformation at noon. The rainbow bridges between the towns and markets are gathered into rings, and the streets are twisted and aggregated into floating islands.

From deep in the clouds came the long cries of some giant spirit beasts pulling a flying boat. In the distance, a huge ship was pulling into the berth, and the wind raised by its wings stirred the sea of clouds.

Flying boats are not just magic weapons. Some are simply ships that are pulled by monster spirit beasts, just like horse-drawn carriages. However, few people are familiar with these spirit beasts from the Western Regions.

Gao Jian and others naturally found an inn and stayed there.

The daytime passed like this.

The hour of You has arrived. When the evening drum sounds, Gao Jian, sitting by the window of the inn, can see that many of the markets and streets in front of him have begun to switch to night flight mode.

On the top of the gate tower, all the flying vehicles gradually lit up their lights, and a light array rose up in the sky of the Suzaku area. Thousands of floating lanterns were arranged along the Jingxiu direction, turning the streets in the sky into a flowing Milky Way.

Farther away, the glazed roofs from other blocks were sinking, while the observatory of the Big Dipper Pavilion was slowly rising, and the copper clepsydra on it began to receive the moonlight.

The essence of the sun and the moon are both extremely good energy sources. Obviously, the gods will not let go of even a little bit of it, but it makes life difficult for ordinary practitioners.

For example, if some monsters want to use the moonlight to practice, or if Taoists want to inhale and exhale yang energy to temper their true yang, they will probably be charged a fee here.

Because all the moonlight and scorching sun energy have been absorbed by the divine capital Yangjing itself, it is really wishful thinking for ordinary people to snatch spiritual energy from those giant formations.

Fortunately, Gao Jian is a warrior and doesn’t need to absorb these nonsense.

"Well, let's go to bed first. We'll go to Imperial College tomorrow." Gao Jian said this after taking a shower and lying on the bed in the inn.

No one answered.

Because Dansha had fallen asleep a long time ago and had been confused during the day, she looked very sleepy and fell asleep not long after entering the inn.

As for Shu Jian, his reason was similar, except that he felt even more uncomfortable than Dansha because he was almost dizzy from the whole process. So after finding a place to rest, he immediately found a small soft nest and crawled into it to rest.

So, at this moment, Gao Jian was standing alone outside the inn, admiring the lights of the entire Yangjing at night.

Light and the many floating areas seem to be the least valuable things here.

Any bit of energy can emit light, and in this entire formation, any building can float easily, as long as you match Yang Jing's Zhoutian Star Array.

As for how to match it up, that’s very simple. You have to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to apply in advance.

"Jingzhao" and "Jingshi" have the same meaning. "Jing" means the highest place and "zhao" means one billion. Because it is where the emperor resides and the people gather, it is called "Jingzhao". It is said that the population of Yangjing is indeed calculated based on one billion.

Jingzhao Prefecture was actually the administrative agency of the entire Yangjing, and its highest head was the 'Jingzhao Yin'.

Yin means to govern and to be in charge of affairs. The position of Jingzhao Yin is probably similar to that of the prefect or magistrate of Yangjing, that is, an official who governs the capital city. He is one level higher than an ordinary prefect, and has the dual nature of a local administrative official and a central court official, with considerable power.

Jingzhao Prefecture will approve a residential plot for you based on your application, taking into account the number of remaining stars and the vacancies in the formation, and then lay the "foundation".

They will send people to connect the 'foundation' or 'array base' to the overall array of Yang Jing. Once the array base is laid, they can naturally start building houses on it according to the array base. What specific look you want to build it in depends on your own aesthetic taste. There are no special regulations. As long as it complies with safety regulations and cannot exceed the bearing capacity of the array base, otherwise it will be considered an illegal building and someone will come to demolish it.

If there is no vacant residential land, then you can only buy someone else's house, or tear it down and rebuild it, or simply live in the other person's house. You cannot build it yourself because there is not enough space and you cannot get approval.

Therefore, the residential land in Yangjing is sold at an extremely high price. If you want to own a house in Yangjing, you can forget about it without seven or eight thousand gold.

Moreover, with only 7,000 or 8,000 gold coins, the house he lived in was just an ordinary one, the kind that belonged to the most common people.

It can be said that being born in Yangjing means you are naturally superior to others.

"Let's take in the scenery and then go to sleep. We'll go to the Imperial College tomorrow. We need to study the route to get there. It can't be the same as today." Gao Jian shook his head, stood up, and looked at the divine capital in front of him.

This kind of scenery...

This is enough to illustrate the power of the Divine Dynasty.

But compared with Cangzhou...

It seems to illustrate the weakness of the Divine Dynasty.

What a contradiction.
