Chapter 507: The Black Horse Carriage With A Sunroof (2/2)

Their gazes were all drawn to the horse carriages of the Tang Empire's official diplomatic comittee. No one noticed that there was a black horse carriage traveling alone on the state highway a few miles behind them.

The walls of the black carriage were engraved with intricate and brocade-like lines, reflecting light like metal. It looked extremely heavy. Strangely, the black horse that was pulling the carriage looked relaxed, and the horse carriage moved on the ground quietly as if it was as light as a feather.

”Defender General of the Empire, the East, the West... Why do all the generals of the Tang Empire hold a t.i.tle that starts with Defender? I wonder when Zhen Guanxi will appear. Oh, I remember that you don't know who Zhen Guanxi is.”

Ning Que leaned against the soft cus.h.i.+on in the carriage and said that in a self-satisfied look.

The black horse carriage was bequeathed to him by Master Yan Se. It looked cold and even tough, but it was s.p.a.cious on the inside. The fittings were extremely luxurious as well.

The carriage was cast of stainless steel and was extremely heavy. Before, when he could not yet activate the talisman lines on the carriage walls, the Big Black Horse had a hard time pulling the carriage. The ground would crack at the wheels of the carriage rolled over it. The steel wheels were not able to absorb any shock, making it uncomfortable to sit in, so he rarely used this horse carriage.

As he cultivated and his Great Spirit grew, his cultivation state grew as well. With Seventh Sister's guidance, he finally understood that the lines on the carriage walls were not just talismans, but a talisman array. When he understood the array, a tiny amount of the breath of Heaven and Earth would swirl around the black carriage, producing some floating power.

The heavy black carriage became reminiscent of a floating feather on water. No matter how hard the wheels were, those in the carriage would not feel any b.u.mps, turning the miserable journey into an enjoyable one.

While the talisman array on the walls was permanent and could evoke the aura of Heaven and Earth in nature, it needed the aura of Heaven and Earth to keep it moving. If Ning Que did not want to exhaust his Psyche Power and die, he had to place a jewel stone in the carriage's array eye from time to time.

The gem which had to contain high concentrations of Qi of Heaven and Earth was extremely precious. It was difficult to be found even in the jewelry shops of Chang'an. The black horse carriage could travel so easily because he had managed to swindle and rob a case of gems from the Imperial Center Administration and the Southern Gate Temple.

The black horse carriage was very luxurious, and the gems it used made it even more luxurious. If he weren't Mr. Thirteen of the Academy and he did not have the resources offered to him by the Tang Empire, he would not be able to afford this.

Ning Que understood this. When he had represented the Academy to enter the human realm, his Senior Brother had told him that he had to concern himself with matters of the imperial court even though he did not want to.

”Xian Zhilang is an interesting person.” He said.

Sangsang shut her eyes and made a soft sound of agreement. She had recovered for the most part, but had shut her eyes and replied softly not because she was ill, but because she was so comfortable that she did not want to open her eyes nor speak either.

Ning Que and Sixth Brother had made a large sunroof on the top of the horse carriage. Bright sunlight streamed through the sunroof and shone on her body, warming her up.

The black horse carriage was made of stainless-steel. It absorbed heat due to its color and material. However, perhaps due to Sangsang's cold aura, the horse carriage was still cool and not stuffy at all even when it was heated by sunlight for a long time.

Ning Que did not feel hot either. He hugged Sangsang's cool feet to his chest. They felt like little jade fish that cooled by ice for a few days. They made him feel extremely comfortable.

He moved Sangsang's feet and reached out for an exquisite porcelain pot from his side. He drank the pleasantly fragrant tea and turned to look out the window.

There were farmlands on both sides of the road and there were farmers painting their homes. There were willow trees waving in the wind and naked children playing in paddy fields.

This scene made a person feel happy and blissful. However, Ning Que looked at those naked tanned children and felt as if he had seen that somewhere before. Then, he realized that this scene played out often within the Tang Empire. Bliss was the same everywhere.

He looked at Sangsang's slightly tanned face and smiled. He thought that the long journey was good even if there was no end to it. The Big Black Horse seemed to sense his happiness and began to neigh happily.
