Chapter 282 First Arrival in Liangzhou
At the beginning of September, the work in Yongzhou was in full swing and after it got on track, Shi Feizhe went to for the real warriors in those cities of Yongzhou, even Chuan Jianxin could crush them all, let alone Shi Feizhe.
But the problem in the underworld has never been them.
It's easy to kill them, it's hard to live without them.
What Shi Feizhe could not imagine was that Chuan Jianxin was very interested in the position of Sikou.
Maintaining public order, combating crime, and protecting the people coincide with his philosophy of weeding.
Now, he has become a glorious Sikou...intern.
Even if you are a natural barrier warrior, you have to pass the exam to become an official Sikou!
Every Sikou fights crime and represents the image of the new underworld. Therefore, every Sikou not only has force and means, but also has ideas.
Otherwise, if you use brute force and are unreasonable, what kind of Sikou would you be? You might as well be a lackey of the powerful!
The reason why Shi Feizhe went to Liangzhou was because he had an appointment with Dengtiandao on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.
September 9th, the day to ascend to heaven!
He went to Dengtiandao a few days in advance. After dealing with the matters of Dengtiandao, he could also go to Liangzhou for investigation.
After September 9, we will transfer people from Jingzhou and Yangzhou to take Liangzhou. In this way, six of the nine states will be in the hands of the Jianghu Reform Committee.
According to the letter, the path to heaven is located on a snowy mountain southwest of Liangzhou.
Shi Feizhe flew southwest from Yongzhou, passing by several mountains and rivers. After flying for about one or two hours, he saw endless white snow-capped mountains.
The terrain of Kyushu is high in the west and low in the east, so the southwest corner of Liangzhou is a plateau snow mountain.
The snow-capped mountain where the Heavenly Path is located is the highest peak in this area of snow-capped mountains. The majestic figure of the snow-capped mountain rises high into the clouds, and even the clouds and mist only linger around the mountainside, as if it is the boundary between heaven and earth, separating the human world from heaven.
What a towering snow-capped mountain!
Therefore, Dengtiandao named this mountain Feitian Peak.
Not far from Feitian Peak, there is a dormant volcano, which is the Dihuo Peak.
In the way of ascending to heaven, Feitian Peak studies how to fly, Dihuo Peak makes tools, and there is the Shoushan Peak which guards the mountain and protects the way.
Shi Feizhe did not conceal his figure. The path of his flight cut through the sky, leaving a trail of white cloud, which could easily be spotted by those on the Heavenly Ascension Road.
Taoist Xiao, who belonged to the mountain guarding lineage, saw a cloud in the north and knew that someone was visiting, so he flew into the sky and saw Shi Feizhe greeting him from a distance.
"I greet City Lord Shi!" Taoist Xiao bowed and said, "City Lord Shi, you are here so early!"
In the past in Yangzhou, Taoist Xiao and Shi Feizhe had met each other. At that time, Shi Feizhe was still the mayor of Jicheng, so Shi Feizhe was called the Lord of Shicheng.
As for Shi Feizhe coming early, today is only the second day of September, and the ceremony is scheduled for the ninth day of September. Although most guests come two days in advance out of courtesy.
But for someone like Shi Feizhe, coming a week in advance is indeed very early.
He must have something else on his mind!
Taoist Xiao already had a guess in his mind.
"This is also my first time to Liangzhou and your sect. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find the place, so I came two days in advance to avoid getting lost." Shi Feizhe said.
"Ha~ City Lord Shi is really humorous!" Taoist Xiao stretched out his hand and guided, "City Lord Shi, please follow me!"
After saying that, Taoist Xiao flew in front to lead the way, leading Shi Feizhe to the mountain gate.
This is the gate to Dengtiandao Mountain, which is made of ice that never melts all year round.
There was no archway with flying eaves, three doors and four pillars. There was only a huge block of ice piled in front of the mountain gate, with a door chiseled in the middle. On it were three words written in a chilling voice: Ascend to Heaven.
Simple and clear, yet exuding an air of being someone who is not to be trifled with.
Shi Feizhe followed Taoist Xiao into the mountain gate and saw mountain houses and halls made mainly of bluestone and ancient wood. The roofs were covered with a thick layer of snow and icicles hung on the walls, making it look very quaint.
It is naturally winter all year round in the mountains, with occasional snowflakes and an extremely cold air.
Other Taoists who often passed by were very curious when they saw Shi Feizhe, but when they saw Taoist Xiao, they became like cowards and left quietly.
They knew that Taoist Xiao had a bad temper.
Taoist Xiao came to a wooden hall and said, "Please have a seat, Lord Shi!"
The interior of the hall is spacious, with a high roof and an open hall. The wood used in its construction is top-grade hardwood, which has been specially treated to become harder and smoother, exuding a light wood fragrance, which is very elegant.
This is the reception hall of Dengtiandao, for visitors from the clouds.
There are two main seats at the top of the hall, and one or two rows of guest seats on both sides.
Shi Feizhe was not polite either. He sat down on the seat of honor, and Taoist Xiao sat on the seat next to him.
After they sat down, a Taoist boy came up with hot tea and dried fruits.
"The countryside is not as good as Yangzhou. Lord Shi, please forgive me." Taoist Xiao said with a smile.
"How could it be! The way to heaven is quite fascinating!" Shi Feizhe exclaimed.
He was not bragging, but he saw exquisite carvings of stars, sky, flying birds, clouds, etc. on the doors, windows, beams and pillars of the ancient temple, which was tantamount to his yearning to ascend to heaven.
In the martial arts world, there are real warriors who enjoy bullying others, and there are also people like Dengtiandao who are obsessed with reaching the sky.
"I wonder if Master Xiao would be willing to take me to see your sect's ascending device first." Shi Feizhe said straight to the point.
"This..." Taoist Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is beyond my ability. I need to ask for your instructions."
He is responsible for guarding the mountain and protecting the road. He is not responsible for the part about ascending to heaven and has no right to interfere.
"Of course. If you bother asking, just say I'm curious." Shi Feizhe naturally expressed his understanding.
"Then let me ask, is the purpose of City Lord Shi's coming to watch the ceremony in advance just to see the boarding ship?" Taoist Xiao said quite experiencedly.
"Yes! I also want to advise you to stop this experiment." Shi Feizhe said.
"Why?" asked Taoist Xiao.
"Because you will definitely fail!" said Shi Feizhe.
Taoist Xiao chuckled and said, "Are City Lord Shi so sure?"
"Of course!" Shi Feizhe nodded.
Along the way, he has figured it out, and he still wants to persuade Dengtiandao not to conduct the ascension experiment blindly.
Without mathematics, chemistry, physics, and all basic sciences, how can you fly?
Do you want to learn Brownian motion from Ah San?
If you rub your hands together, you can fly into space?
Isn't that taking off and setting off fireworks?
In the past, there were so many countries that could develop and launch rockets on their own, let alone rockets!
"In addition, I also want to tell your sect a secret about history and the outside world!" Shi Feizhe said, looking at Taoist Xiao who was smiling.
Let me give you some cosmic shock!
Quack! More updates tomorrow!
