Taoist fast crossing

Pass through the brilliance of the stars, watch the clouds gather and disperse with the wind, rise to a high place, and then circle down.

When the black gold burns, golden light spots overflow outward, like dancing fireflies, lingering around the train and gradually dissipating.

Going from a high place to a low place is completely different from going from a low place to a high place.

Dive down, the wind is getting stronger.

Looking at the Dark City from a high altitude, you can only see the black phantoms of the buildings, and the earth is like a dark curtain. Only the place where the temple is located is lit with a warm white light, which is eternal and eternal.

It is like a lighthouse, also like a morning star in the dark.

That is the color of hope and the beginning of everything.

The dark city is getting closer and closer, the black gold in the locomotive is about to burn out, the town has become clear, and the familiar streets and buildings have once again jumped into everyone's eyes, but it feels different from the beginning.

There is an inexplicable feeling in everyone's heart, which is indescribable, as if even the soul has been washed once. From then on, wherever the gaze goes, it is no longer a dark and decaying abandoned place, but the distance, the sky, and the starry sky.

It would be nice if the darkness also lights up in the dark.

As the only remaining light, the temple is a bit lonely.

The locomotive has landed and is still sliding forward slowly. It looks a bit bulky, like an old man on the verge of death. The face of the locomotive is becoming more and more clear. The corners of the mouth are raised, evoking a smile, which looks very strange.

They returned to the place where they started, and the train stopped with a bang.

Suria and Sophia came out of the driving seat, their eyes were bright and clear in the dark night, filled with water vapor.

"My lord!" They saluted Si Qingyan together.

The two of them tidied up very cleanly today, the food has improved recently, they have also gained weight, their hair has grown and braided, they are full of energy, and there is a kind of vigorous vitality of mountain flowers growing wildly and finally blooming in the sun.

"Very nice, so proud of you. For all the people who made it all."

"May I always belong to you and dedicate everything to you."

The first to kneel down were the two little disciples, Lan Sifeier, then those wizards, and countless people from Andu.

Si Qingyan waved, and everyone stood up together.

"I will leave here eventually, and you will always belong to me."

They could only watch the gods return to the temple, and the fiery emotions surged in their hearts, like the tide of the sea, which was hard to suppress.Sometimes it is like a strong wind and waves, and the roar sweeps everything, and sometimes it is like a slow wave under the moon, embracing the coast over and over again.Either warm or calm, this love continues all the time.Pious and eternal.

Thinking of what he said to leave again, an indescribable sadness arose.

If the future is good here, is He willing to stay forever, or stay for a while?

"My lord said that steam can generate electricity, and even at night, there are stars that never go out... When this place becomes a place more beautiful than the kingdom of heaven, my lord will like it too..." Surya touched the train body , once again burst out the passion for research.

"Sophia, let's go to the lab!"

"That's what I was going to say too!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and left here together, the bow ribbons behind their waists fluttered in the wind with their brisk steps.

The crowd dispersed, talking in low voices about steam, gods, trains, and black gold.

Everything is thriving and full of vitality.

Si Qingyan and Lance Feier have one thing in common, they can't stand mess.

Since Lansfell came to power, he has focused on urban civilization and built beautiful towns.

After the wizard spread the potion, he led people to clean and disinfect the inside and outside of the dark city, set up garbage sorting points, demolished and rebuilt illegal buildings, and cleaned up this decadent city full of classical Rococo style buildings.

The dark bell tower was painted with white paint, and the messy walls were renovated with beautiful opera illustrations and elegant libretto.The withered plants are eradicated and replaced with mutated roses, roses and other flowers. The flowers are large and bright, blooming in all seasons, and have a strong fragrance.The square was replaced with beautifully carved stone sculptures and fountains, and the white pigeons flew here again.

Even people who were born and raised in Andu find it incredible.

The outsiders couldn't leave after the enchantment appeared in the dark capital. They were very upset at first, but they gradually got used to it.Bards have endless legendary stories, and the children on the street are clean and lively, laughing and laughing constantly.

After that night, the train tracks and carriages added by Si Qingyan disappeared. Other people continued to board the carriages behind the locomotive according to what they saw that day, but there was no way to make transparent and strong glass.

Most of the glass fired by traditional methods is colorful and bright, and it is not bad for decoration, but it will block the line of sight if it is installed in the window position.The wizards changed the firing temperature and materials many times, gradually approaching the glass inlaid on the train windows that night, and soon mastered the firing methods of transparent glass and frosted glass, and not only the train windows, store walls, and glass vases were changed , tableware, and even the big clock pendulum on the tower, there is an extra layer of glass cover on the outside.

The rail tracks have been laid in Andu, and there are six lines in total, meeting people's travel needs to the greatest extent.The locomotives from No. [-] to No. [-] have different expressions, some are irritable, some are sinister, some are evil, some are pornographic, and some are cold, which is indescribable.

Si Qingyan, who was still a little worried at the beginning, found that the locomotive had such a sinister expression, and gradually felt relieved.

With this style of painting, Yazi is not very smart at first glance.

What really needs to be worried about is intelligent machinery. Judging from the current development speed, it will take at least several hundred years for intelligent machinery to appear in the dark.The change of steam is very consistent with the painting style of the entire Shining World.

The wizards called more people to study and build a steam power plant according to the blueprint given by Si Qingyan.

Outside the Dark City, knowledge is a very precious thing. Only nobles and businessmen can provide knowledge for future generations. Common people can go to church to learn how to read and sing hymns. It is very difficult to really get in touch with useful knowledge.

The same is true for wizards. Except for a few lucky ones, most wizards learn about potions from their teachers. They often have to be apprentices for several years and work hard to learn something.The wizard's personality will become distorted and sharp due to the mutation of mental power. Many apprentices can't bear it. They take the opportunity to kill the teacher, or are killed by the teacher back, and become experimental tools.

The whole world is like this, only the darkness is different.

A new school has been established, where you can learn mathematics, physics, chemistry, potions, and manufacturing, and there is no charge, and even food is provided for free.In addition to children, there are also learning places for adults.

In order to experience the feeling of riding the steam train that night again, more and more people began to get in touch with unfamiliar knowledge, and those with outstanding talents would be selected to become members of the research team and be highly respected.

Everything is on the right track, and the research team has more and more members. Through repeated experiments, they have found the most suitable material for making light bulbs. As the electricity spreads through the wires, light up the small lamp in the dark room, and everyone is happy. Start cheering.

The light is so gentle and lovely, like a newborn child, emitting warm yellow light in the transparent glass lampshade.It does not rely on witchcraft or gods, but only relies on tools and energy to achieve all this.

Lamp materials are cheap, and the power is sufficient, and they will soon be popularized. As long as you think of the scene of thousands of lights at night, you will feel warm in your heart.The reason why Dark City is called Dark City is because it is dark all year round, covered with thick clouds, rainy all year round, poverty, hunger, wandering criminals, evil wizards, and a large number of undead, making the night here dark. The poor don't even have dry wood to light their fireplaces.

It symbolizes a new future, a beautiful chapter full of hope and light.

Everyone present realized that the second stage mentioned by the true God had begun.

According to the division of true gods, steam age, the first stage, vehicles, ships, and machines powered by steam appeared.In the second stage, steam power generation, various tools using electricity as energy appeared.In the third stage, the telephone and telegraph appeared, entering the information age.

With Si Qingyan's continuous guidance, their research path is not tortuous. The first and second stages are two lines that are parallel to each other and occasionally intersect, and they develop rapidly under the impetus of everyone.

There are hidden reefs overseas, except for some fishing boats, there are almost no large ships, and the wizards have not invested much energy in steam ships.Lamps, ovens, rice cookers, etc. are the main directions of current research.

For some reason, wizards who originally wanted to study weapons began to focus on food...

Hearing Si Qingyan mention that there is a tool that can make food by itself after being powered on, they were instantly full of interest and began to study electrical appliances that could heat food by themselves.

……

Ever since the god of war, Reynolds, returned with his halberd, Andu has become much calmer. There are no gods to test him, and no demons.

Si Qingyan thought of the octopus that had been stocked for a long time, and missed it a little, so she found a big pot and prepared for the summoning.Si Qingyan still remembered the steps of the summoning when Duke Downs summoned it.

First of all, pure silverware must be prepared, and the silver cauldron newly brought out by Si Qingyan meets the requirements.Also prepare some coagulated blood, powders ground from ten kinds of plants in equal amounts, fresh animal limbs, fat, etc.

Si Qingyan put star anise, fennel, cinnamon, pepper, sansho pepper and other plants into powder into the silverware, added some butter, heated it, and the aroma burst out instantly.The fire was too hot, and Si Qingyan was afraid that he would not be able to summon the evil god, so he added some water, boiled it, put in sliced ​​duck blood, sliced ​​the leftover mutton from last time, and scalded it in a silverware...

Si Qingyan was so involved that she almost forgot the business.

He put down his chopsticks, drew the magic circle, and began to chant the spell.

He made some changes to the spell that Duke Downs had chanted:

"The great god who exists in the unknown gray fog, the ancient god who sleeps in the shrine, the lord of endless destruction, the lord of distortion and chaos... I pray to you... Your believers have prepared rich sacrifices for you... I hope you can come here..."

Confused and difficult language came out of Si Qingyan's mouth.

In the past, when he was killing, he seldom held back his hands. With a little negative emotion, the spell became low, mysterious, and full of destructive power.It was as if a murderous lunatic had summoned the gods.

After chanting the incantation, inexplicable whispers sounded in the air, as well as some unintelligible laughter, some kind of viscous liquid surged here from all around, and the boiling water vapor in the silver vessel covered Si Qingyan's face, The fiery red roux rolled in the silverware, exuding a strange attraction.

In a distant foreign world, the ancient god who had only recently completed his limbs was moved.
