Chapter 2 Blood and Organs(1/3)

Chang'an, the city of ten thousand cities, the pearl of the earth, the city of mechanism, the city of miracles...

Before coming here, Li Bai had heard countless words about it. Some people said that this is the most beautiful place in the world, while others said that this is hell.

But even though he had already made all kinds of fantasies, the bizarre things he saw were still a little dazzled.

Whether it is the street in front of you, the buildings next to you, the floating lights above you, countless flower boats and chariots, and even the entire city... they are actually made up of institutions!

Seeing the luxurious carriages trying from beside him, Li Bai almost couldn't help but want to pull out the parts from an elephant who was transporting by a mechanic... Fortunately, Xun Qing rushed up and hugged his arm, otherwise they would have entered Dali Temple and explored Yu Hengsi again today!

"It's really all done here by the agency?"

"Of course."

Xun Qing pulled him forward and explained: "Chang'an is composed of various markets, each market is created by an organ. The entire Chang'an is actually a whole organ. It is like a huge mechanical clock.

Although the changes are small every day, over time, all markets will surround the highest Weiyang Palace every year, and rotate around for a week. Isn’t it very powerful?”

Accompanied by his words, under the lights in the distance, the bell tower tower like a giant pillar made a low sound and began to announce the time.

On the surface, the huge pointer slowly moved.

The earth is slowly rotating.

It's like being on the sea, it makes people feel unrealistic and illusory.

"Then won't you get lost?"

"The market changes in regularities, remember not to remember. Besides, there are maps in the market... Each market is managed by the owner and the institution teacher, and its characteristics are different. For example, the Chongrenfang we just passed is the place with the most institutional workshops in the city, producing various things. Qujiangfang is prosperous in literary style, the Qushui flows, and the grand event of the institution's poetry fights almost every day. Pingkangfang is most famous for the puppet singing and dancing, and the institution singers there are said to be more beautiful than real people..."

When talking about Chang'an characteristics, Xun Qing was so angry that he couldn't stop.

"Then where will we go next?"

"Of course it's Changlefang!"

Xun Qing swallowed and spitted, "All delicious food and all the fine wines in the world can be found in Changlefang. As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't eat in Changlefang, and there is no wine you can't drink!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

Li Bai's eyes lit up instantly, and his speed was speeding up, almost pulling Xun Qing to run wildly: "Let's go!"

I can no longer see the calmness and calmness I just now.

Only at this time, I look like a teenager.

"You guy, it's so strange..." Xun Qing was so angry that he was dragged and sighed in confusion: "I heard that some swordsmen are not drunk in order to pursue the stability of their palms and the speed of drawing their swords."

"Maybe other people are like this?"

Li Bai raised his head, raised the rough long sword around his waist, and smiled proudly: "But I don't know!"

Xun Qing was speechless.

Maybe wine will not affect your speed of drawing your sword, but drinking too much will affect your speed of sudden death. My friend... Is this guy okay?

"After that being said, what do you mechanisms rely on?" Li Bai looked around the huge mechanisms that were lifting and lowering and asked, "Is it water power? Is it wind power?"

Xun Qing raised his hand, and in his sleeve, a small mechanical spider crawled out. In his hand, he turned over and opened the shell of his abdomen, revealing the complex structure inside, and a complex creation the size of a pearl.

"Look at this, the agency is responsible."

He said, "This is the brain and power of the organ beast."

"Can such a small person be able to support the market?"

"Of course it's impossible. This is just a small one. It takes many years for the super-large nuclear to create one. The power comes directly from Chang'an itself." Xun Qing said fascinatedly. "Every time the new municipal nuclear nuclear is born, it represents the emergence of a brand new market. If you have the opportunity, I really want to see it."

"According to your words, the institution is the one who manages, produces and manipulates the institution?"

"Yeah, it's almost the same."

Xun Qing nodded with a sigh, "You haven't heard of it?"

"Ah, I've seen a lot before, but everyone seems arrogant and unspeakable. They look like they look at second-class people and can't speak at all."

Li Bai shook his head: "It's all a group of guys who are above the top, so I'm too lazy to pay attention to it."

"Oh, are those nobles' organs?" Xun Qing knew it: "It's true that they are all the same. But besides the nobles, there are other civilians who are also engaged in this industry. Although everyone is not doing well, they are poor after all."

Li Bai turned around and looked at him carefully. After a long time, he nodded in agreement: "...Well, that's right."

Hello, can you refute this to me?

Before Xun Qing could even be sad and angry, he heard Li Bai's next words.

"Is the one you sneaked into your pocket before? Is it the mechanism core?"

Xun Qing's movements stopped for a moment, stiffened, and his face gradually paled.

"You... have seen it all?"

"Of course I saw it when you move so hard." Li Bai comforted, "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."

Just before getting off the boat, Xun Qing was bent over and picked up something quietly from the ground, as if it were something secretly transported by the group of smugglers...

A fist-sized glass orb.

When Xun Qing mentioned this, he stammered for a long time, and his expression became depressed. He took out his stolen stolen from his pocket and showed it to Li Bai.

But when it was really compared with the agency, Li Bai discovered the difference between the two.

Although the small mechanical core of the mechanism spider is not as big as this one, it shines brightly and as if it can breathe. However, this one is rigid and even a little turbid.

"I originally thought I had picked up a big advantage, but I had been happy to see him." Xun Qing sighed: "This thing has been broken and completely scrapped."

"If you encounter something like that, it's worth celebrating to be able to save your life. Do you still want to make a fortune?"

Li Bai shook his head and had a new understanding of this guy's stingy nature. He was about to say something, but his steps suddenly stopped.

Looking into the alley next to it.

"What is that?"

In the place where the lights could not be shined, the children curled up in the corner of the alley, staring at the pedestrians outside the alley.

The broken bowl in front of me was empty.

Occasionally, when patrol people pass by, they will scold them loudly and let these stinky beggars get away.

Li Bai reached into his arms, but just grabbed the wallet, but was stopped by Xun Qing.

"Don't give money..."

When Li Bai frowned, he saw Xun Qing's helpless expression.

"Those children are all controlled by bullies, and they will be stolen if they ask for a little money."

He said, "Leave it to me."

After saying that, he walked to the vendor next to him, picked a few cakes and two bowls of worthless hot soup, placed them in front of the children, turned around and patted the scraps on his hands.

"Let's go." Xun Qing said.

But after taking two steps, he noticed the strange look of Li Bai next to him: "What's wrong with you?"

"I see it."

Li Bai smiled subtly: "Didn't you say you won't pay? What did you put under the bowls of those children just now?"

Xun Qing was stunned for a moment, feeling embarrassed that he was exposed, so he could only speed up and walk forward. He answered angrily, "It's not your business! Why, is this considered a lie?"

"Hahaha, you guy really like to say something and make something in your hands."

Li Bai put his shoulder on his shoulder, whistled, and laughed: "But this time I will pretend that I didn't see it. Let's go, let's have a drink! Let's have a glass of wine before my life, why do you have a reputation for a thousand years behind you?"

"Hmm? You guy, can you write poetry?"

Xun Qing felt that he had discovered a new world, and was unbelievable, "Is he actually written well?"

"What good poem is this?"

Li Bai shook his head disregardedly, "It's just average."

It just looks amazing.

He shook his head slightly and sighed silently: This kind of superficial thing cannot be compared with something truly beautiful and truly powerful.

So is poetry, so is sword.

There is obviously room for further development.

But what is helpless is that no matter how hard he tries, he cannot overcome this invisible obstacle. No matter how many methods he has tried along the way...

It's reached its limit.

Li Bai sighed, and soon, the gloomy look was swept away.

"Let's go, drink and drink! It's rare to come to Chang'an once, at least you have to drink enough money!"

He hugged Xun Qing with a gaze and rushed towards the colorful city whirlpool.

"Chang'an, fine wine, I'm here!"

At the beginning, everything was very clear.
To be continued...
