Volume Four, Volume 55, Chapter 11, Helping Hands in the Rain
It took Zhang Tie half an hour to walk from Wahuang City to the city and just pass through the tunnel-like city gate entrance.
Zhang Tie walked leisurely, not in a hurry, but many young people who were visiting the Imperial City for the first time couldn't help but start running in the doorway, rushing towards the entrance.
Half an hour later, Zhang Tie's eyes finally brightened, and he walked out of the city gate tunnel and entered Wahuang City.
What appeared in front of Zhang Tie, and facing the city gate entrance, was a square with a radius of almost two square kilometers. The ground in the square was paved with bluestone, and a wide avenue surrounded the square, forming a
The huge roundabout extends out from the south, north and east in three directions, leading into the distance. Further beyond the square, Zhang Tie saw rolling mountains and villages.
Before coming to the Sky World, Xuanyuan Hill was already the largest city that Zhang Tie could not imagine. However, the entire Xuanyuan Hill area was only more than 1 million square kilometers, while the area of Wahuang City in front of him was larger than Xuanyuan City.
The hill is ten times larger, and the population living in Wahuang City exceeds 400 million. The entire Wahuang City can almost be a country of its own.
The people who came in in the lizard car were already driving the lizard car on the avenue, flying towards the distance. The car Zhang Tie just saw at the entrance to the city was going to Hutuo Mountain to find the black hand Yama Bianheng.
The lizard cart has long since disappeared.
The square was crowded with people. Young people who had entered the Imperial City of Wa for the first time gathered in the square in front of them, wandering around and looking curiously at the legendary Imperial City of Wa.
There is a commercial area in the core area of the square, where everything is available, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. It is quite lively. There seem to be several car dealerships in the commercial area. Large cars are constantly coming out of there, and some people are riding flying lizards directly to leave.
Just around the business district, there were many people holding signs and shouting, recruiting people.
Zhang Tie took a deep breath. As soon as he entered Wahuang City, he felt that the fresh aura contained in the air in Wahuang City was twice as high as that outside. If a person can live in such a place all year round,
In the environment, physical fitness will definitely be better.
Zhang Tie looked up and saw white clouds floating in the sky, but high up in the sky, Zhang Tie felt an invisible strange energy covering the entire Wa Imperial City.
Emitted from the city wall, it spreads in all directions, intertwining into an invisible barrier in the sky. Once someone passes through the barrier from the sky, they can be sensed, and they may also be attacked by some hidden people on the city wall.
Means of attack.
Just when he passed through the city gate tunnel, Zhang Tie felt that the runes flowing in the tunnel were very mysterious. His body had to go through multiple layers of scanning before he could enter the Wahuang City.
The Wa Imperial City is said to be a forbidden area for demons, and it is indeed extraordinary. But I don’t know... whether these methods can discover those people in the Dark Emperor Temple who are controlled by the golden soul talisman poison.
"Uncle, the map of Wa Imperial City..." Just as Zhang Tie was looking at Wa Imperial City and thinking secretly, he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled by someone, a little boy of eleven or twelve years old with an excited face.
He had already rushed to his side from the crowd, looked at Zhang Tie with a pair of dark eyes, and promoted a rolled-up map of Wahuang City in his hand.
Zhang Tie smiled and asked kindly, "How much does it cost per portion?"
Although Zhang Tie had a copied map of the Sky Realm in his head, that map was not as detailed as the map of Wa Imperial City.
"One amethyst coin..." Seeing Zhang Tie asking the price, the little boy immediately gave a price.
This price is already very expensive compared to the area of Wahuang City.
"The price is a bit expensive!" Zhang Tie looked at the little boy seriously, his voice changed and became angry, with a sense of innocence, "Do you know how to get to Hutuo Mountain?"
"If you buy a map from me, you will know how to get to Mount Hutuo. Without a map, the Imperial City of Wa is so big, and it is not easy for you to find a place by groping around!" the little boy said.
Observing his words, he continued to encourage Zhang Tie to buy his map, "When you go to Hutuo Mountain, are you going to cure a disease or to learn skills?"
"Ah, you really know?" Zhang Tie glanced at the little boy in surprise.
"Of course, people who come to Wa Imperial City and want to go to Hutuo Mountain are basically either going to get medical treatment or want to learn skills. However, there are too many people going to Hutuo Mountain. If you don't hurry up and delay on the way, it won't be worthwhile.
Yes," the little boy sniffed and raised the map in his hand.
"Okay, I bought your map..." Zhang Tie pretended to think for a moment, took out an amethyst coin from his body, and bought the map from the little boy.
After getting Zhang Tie's amethyst coin, the little boy ran away instantly.
Zhang Tie opened the map and glanced at it. He already knew the terrain of the entire Wahuang City. Hutuo Mountain is only more than 600 kilometers away from here. There is a highway that leads directly to Hutuo Mountain. As long as you look for the road, it is almost impossible to find it.
No matter how you go around, you will arrive - Zhang Tie then understood why the little guy ran away after getting the money. It turned out that he was afraid that he would regret it.
Zhang Tie smiled, put away the map, looked for the direction, and left.
After passing through the big square, you will arrive at an avenue in Wahuang City. The so-called avenues in Wahuang City are all bluestone roads that are more than 50 meters wide and smooth with almost no gaps visible. I don’t know how they were built.
There are green trees on both sides of the road, and at regular intervals there are pavilions for people to rest. On the road, some people ride cars, some ride flying lizards, and others gallop along the roadside.
The speed is only slightly slower than the flying lizard.
The people in the Ferris Sky Realm are physically strong, and everyone is born as a ninth-level warrior of Taixia. Therefore, in the Ferris Sky Realm, in addition to using mounts, there is also a way to run. Many people just do it directly.
He started running on the road with great strides. For an adult, it is no problem to run four to five hundred kilometers a day. If you want to pass through Wahuang City, no matter from south to north or from west to east, you only need to
If you are not lazy, ten days will be enough.
Many people can even chat with their companions while running.
Zhang Tie also joined the "running" crowd, running towards Hutuo Mountain at an average speed, neither fast nor slow.
…
At nightfall, Zhang Tie had already run more than 300 kilometers after passing through villages and towns. When it got dark, there were fewer people on the road. Many people who were originally running on the road were already in hotels along the way.
They stayed at an inn or some other place to spend the night, but Zhang Tie still didn't stop. He planned to drive all night and reach Hutuo Mountain before dawn.
To Zhang Tie, this little journey was really nothing, not even the drizzle. He felt as if he was taking a leisurely stroll admiring the scenery. To Zhang Tie, this kind of pure running reminded him of that time.
The days when you could run wildly in the valleys and fields alone during the trial in Black Flame City were a lot of fun.
God didn't seem to want Zhang Tie to be too comfortable. Just after the sky darkened, there was a thunder in the sky, and then, in just a few breaths, heavy raindrops started falling.
In the dark night, when it rains and water vapor comes together, the road becomes misty. Only when lightning flashes across the night sky, the dark night suddenly turns white.
Just ahead, a lizard cart tilted to the side of the road. One wheel had left the carriage. The two majestic flying lizards pulling the cart had been pulled to the side and tied to a tree. The big man Zhang Tie saw just now
She was squatting on the ground with an anxious look on her face, soaked all over, and fiddling with the wheel awkwardly. Under a big tree on the side of the road, a middle-aged woman was holding an umbrella, and a woman in a white skirt.
Hiding from the rain.
The woman in the white skirt wore a hood on her head, and a layer of white gauze hung down from the hood, completely covering her face. However, despite this, when the woman stood under the tree, her whole person still had a kind of look.
The indescribable temperament, in the mist of rain and fog, is like a lily of the valley, peerless and independent.
Before Zhang Tie ran here, the strong man squatting on the side of the road repairing his car had already spotted Zhang Tie running towards him. The strong man stood up from the ground, picked up two axes, and glared at Zhang Tie who was running over.
Zhang Tie didn't stop when he started, and ran directly over. The strong man's nerves relaxed slightly, and the giant ax in his hand drooped slightly. However, after Zhang Tie ran a few dozen meters, Zhang Tie again
He stopped suddenly, turned around, and trotted over to the few people.
Looking at Zhang Tie walking over, the body of the strong man holding the giant ax had tensed up, and the blade of the giant ax had drooped and was slightly raised back - this was already an attack posture.
Zhang Tie seemed not to notice the strong man's reaction and vigilance. When he came over, he didn't look at the person. Instead, he squatted on the ground and looked at the car carefully. "This is the ball in the rotating shaft of the car."
It broke, and the bushings collapsed, causing the left and right wheels to become unbalanced. Finally, one wheel almost came out. This car should have repair tools. Bring them here and let me show you..."
The strong man holding the giant ax was stunned for a moment, then without saying a word, he put down the giant ax and pushed a toolbox at his feet in front of Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie opened the tool box, took out the things, and quickly began to replace the axle under the carriage. Then with a skillful move, Zhang Tie removed the bearing on the axle, and then disassembled the bearing.
Use a special tool to escape each ball from the inside, wipe it clean with a cloth, pick out the bad balls, then find a few good balls from the spare tool, replace them again, apply oil, and then start again
Install them into the bearings one by one.
It was still raining in the sky, and Zhang Tie was repairing the car. The raindrops fell on Zhang Tie, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie's clothes were wet.
"Wu Ma, go and cover the rain for this young master. I can't get wet here..." The woman who covered her face with a veil said quietly. The middle-aged woman next to her glanced at her and moved away.
He came to Zhang Tie and covered Zhang Tie's head with an umbrella.
Zhang Tie was concentrating on repairing the car. For Zhang Tie, this problem with the car was simply a child's play among children. Not to mention that Zhang Tie was already a master craftsman and an expert who could create mechanical civilization with his bare hands. Even with Zhang Tie,
With Tie's level as a top soldier in the Norman Empire, repairing such a small problem can be solved easily.
The development path of Sky World does not pay much attention to things like machinery. The chassis and wheels of this car are also relatively simple in structure. The shock absorbers are very rough. There are only two components commonly known as pole beams at the bottom of the car.
, this kind of component, in Zhang Tielai's Taixia, was used on trucks pulling goods. It was very low-level. It was not easy for such a lizard truck to have a wheel structure with metal bearing bushings.
In Zhang Tie's eyes, the structure of this lizard car is simply not as complicated as the toys of his sons at home. It is too simple. However, in the eyes of several other people, they saw Zhang Tie skillfully and nimbly playing with each car.
The parts and repairing the problem areas felt like magic, and everyone's eyes were filled with surprise.
At the beginning, the strong man looked at Zhang Tie with a hint of wariness in his eyes, but slowly, the wariness in the eyes of the strong man disappeared, and he began to actively cooperate with Zhang Tie.
In just a few minutes, Zhang Tie repaired the things that had been taken down and reassembled them. He also adjusted the two shock-absorbing pole beams, and then he asked the strong man to lift the one or two tons of car.
He got up, and then he reinstalled the wheel that had fallen to the ground.
Zhang Tie turned over the tool box on the car, raised his head, and said to the strong man, "Oops, there is no spare axle bushing here. Without the bushing, the wheel will still fall off while running. It turns out that
Where’s the axle bushing?”
"Ah, bushing, what bushing?" The strong man looked confused.
Zhang Tie shook his head and gave up explaining. This strong man seemed to know nothing about machinery and the like. He probably wouldn't have much to say to him, so he asked a question directly, "Where did you find the problem with your vehicle?"
"Just in front, on the road a few miles away..." Zhang Tie, the helper who had been silent all this time,
"The broken bushing should have fallen on the side of the road. Just wait a moment. I'll run back and take a look..." After finishing speaking, Zhang Tie didn't wait for the strong man to say anything else and rushed directly into the rain.
He ran back the same way.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Tie rushed back, soaked to the skin, but in his hand, he was holding a deformed and broken car part.
Zhang Tie found a hammer from the tool box. After some hammering, the deformed and broken bushing slowly became regular again. Then Zhang Tie reinstalled the bushing.
"This bushing is broken and won't run for long, but if you stick to it for a day or two, it shouldn't be a problem. When you get to the inn or pass through the villages and towns, you can find someone to help you replace it with a new one!" Zhang Tie said
Then, he put the tools back into the tool box and stuffed them under the car base.
"Thank you..." The strong man said to Zhang Tie seriously. At this time, the strong man could confirm that Zhang Tie was not the villain he imagined.
"You're welcome, just a small favor..." As he spoke, Zhang Tie was ready to leave.
"As far as I know, this road only goes to Hutuo Mountain. If you are on your way so late at night, do you want to go to Hutuo Mountain?" The veiled woman spoke again.
"Yes, I want to go to Hutuo Mountain too!"
"It's raining now, and it's getting late. If this young man doesn't mind, you can ride a lizard car with us for a short distance. We're also going to Hutuo Mountain on this trip..." The woman wearing a veil said calmly.
, that Wu Ma wanted to say something, but the young lady looked at her and stopped talking.
The strong man did not object. He seemed to think that if Zhang Tie was in the car, if the car had problems again, he would be able to find someone to solve it. Moreover, he felt that Zhang Tie's strength did not pose a threat to him, so
So I relaxed.
Zhang Tie looked at the woman and smiled calmly, "Okay, then I won't bother you..."
…
The lizard cart was restored, and the strong man drove the cart and continued on his way. However, Zhang Tie, the young lady, and the woman named Wu Ma sat in the lizard cart.
The strong man cracked his whip, and the lizard cart was harnessed again and started to gallop again, heading towards Hutuo Mountain...
