Journey Through the Plane of the Lord God

The woods on both sides, accompanied by the early morning breeze, quickly retreated beside the two knights.

The morning sun has just risen in the sky, and the golden light shines softly on the earth.

"Taoist Master, the original landform here was specially reserved by us."

Li Changming was riding on a black horse, and he was leading a Taoist priest who was also riding a horse behind him. He was walking in this primitive jungle under the sunlight, which looked like there had been no human activity at all.

"Mainly to guard against some white explorers and travelers who happen to pass by."

Although Taiping Fortress, which is located outside the border of Rokofield State, is very far away from Ace Aliu City, there are also some inaccessible and sparsely populated areas in the middle.

However, because of the branch railway built by the Rum Railway Group and extending to the area near the Taiping Fortress, the two of them reached the outer forest of the Taiping Fortress in just four days.

.

And because after the Taoist priest discovered his "real identity", the various teams of the Foreign Affairs Department of Ace Aliu City did not find any white forces snooping on him.

Knowing that the Taoist priest in front of him strictly kept his promise, Li Changming had initially established trust with the Taoist priest. While riding his horse to lead the way through the forest, he spread some common sense about Taiping Fortress to the Taoist priest.

"Under normal circumstances, our people will disguise themselves as Indian tribe warriors and patrol here continuously..."

As Li Changming narrated, he led the Taoist priests, riding horses through the gaps between some ancient rocks and trees, and kept moving forward into the interior of the forest.

"Almost there!"

"If you go over the hill in front, you can see the road to our town!"

Sure enough, with Li Changming's words, the primitive area they rode through finally came to the end.

After climbing over an unattractive hill, the two knights' eyes lit up.

The forest around them gradually became sparse, and a plain appeared in sight, which made people feel suddenly enlightened.

A gray road that looked like a cement road in a Chinese village in Hong Tiangui's previous life stretched like a long snake to the end of his sight.

"Da! Da! Da!······"

Amidst the crisp sound of horse hooves, Li Changming gestured to the Taoist priest behind him, took the lead in leading the horse onto the road, and began to gallop quickly.

The Taoist priest who followed closely behind him followed him with a shocked look on his face, also running on the long winding hard concrete ground.

The Taoist priest was shocked.

This is because the two sides of the road are completely different from those in Daqing. The area of ​​a single circular farmland is dozens of times larger than the ordinary fields in Daqing. There is thick smoke in the center and a long pole that is constantly rotating slowly.

With the help of farm tools, only five or six people can complete the entire field of watering and fertilizing.

It's because at the end of the road, surrounded by mountains, a tall town that looks a bit hazy in the faint smoke emitted by the factory in the early morning has already appeared in the Taoist priest's sight.

It was a city with a completely different style from Daqing.

They are taller than Daqing's cities. They are generally five or six stories tall, no less than the workers' buildings seen in industrial cities in northern America before the Taoist priests. They stand in rows in the city.

But it is cleaner than cities in America. Even the horses of Li Changming and the Taoist priests were required to bring horse manure bags at the entrance to the city.

Dozens and hundreds of red slogans asking the people under the Taiping Association to "love hygiene and be clean" were hung on both sides of the streets after entering the city.

What shocked the Taoist priest even more was that after he followed Li Changming into the city, he discovered that the people coming and going in the city were numb compatriots who were like ants and slaves in Daqing.

Except for a few people, who may have just been rescued from slave ships or railway construction sites, there was still a little uneasiness on their faces.

The vast majority of people walked on the road with their chests held high and their heads held high!

Full of a high-spirited spirit that cannot exist in Eastern Daqing, no, in any royal country in the world today!

"I am becoming more and more curious about the outstanding figures in your Taiping Society!"

The Taoist priest, who had been silent all the way, finally spoke after entering the city and addressed Li Changming solemnly.

"I thought I would probably see a village that looked like the Daqing bandits."

"Or even better, a mountain city like an ordinary Daqing Tucheng!"

"But I didn't expect that what I saw was a..."

He frowned. The scene in front of him made it impossible for him to describe it with the accurate Daqing words he knew.

"Taoist Master, Taiping Fortress is just the name we call it."

"When it was first established, this was indeed a cottage surrounded by wooden fences."

However, Li Changming intervened at this time and responded.

"Now, our leader, the president of the Taiping Society, calls it the 'Taiping Industrial City'. It is a more advanced human gathering place than you have seen in the past!"

Words such as "industrial city" and "human gathering place" are all new words created by Hong Tiangui in the Daqing dialect of this era.

Except for the members of the Taiping Society who have specially studied it, even Taoist priests who are now considered well-informed can only hear its name but cannot understand its meaning.

But the Taoist priest who was riding a horse and walking on the streets of Taiping Fortress didn't say anything else.

In his heart, he felt relaxed.

After all, no matter how much he didn't understand the words Li Changming said, the farmland and food outside the city and the spiritual outlook of the compatriots in the city could never be faked.

He can at least be sure that his compatriots have not just emerged from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's mouth again...

————————————

It was a wonderful fate for Hong Tiangui to meet a true Eastern practitioner in the New World after crossing many oceans in this foreign country.

After combining the experience of Taiping Taoist ancestors in making friends from other sects in the Taiping Jade Bamboo Slips, as well as the opinions of Li Gu and other old comrades who had seen the true face of the Oriental extraordinary world during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom era, Hong Tiangui decided to use Jianghu etiquette to interact with him.

"Taiping, Hong Tiangui."

"Welcome, fellow Maoshan sect."

Except for a personal guard who was always following him, Hong Tiangui stood alone at the door of his two-story building. He smiled and made a Taoist salute to the Taoist priest who was coming towards him.

He very cleverly identified himself with the word "comrade" and also quickly established the relationship between the two parties.

Sure enough, after hearing the word "comrade" from Hong Tiangui, I sensed the undisguised aura of the young man in front of me who was just a bit weaker than myself.

A feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land came to the Taoist priest's heart, and he returned the favor to Hong Tiangui.

"Maoshan, Lin Miaoshan, have met fellow Daoist Hong!"

······

This is the future development history of Taipingism.

The first encounter between Mr. Hong Tiangui, the theorist and practitioner of the great dream of "peace" for mankind, and the common leader of the world's peaceful countries, and his wife Lin Miaoshan.

But now, Hong Tiangui still doesn't know what huge changes the woman in front of him who has transformed into a man will bring to his personal life in the future.

He just wanted to make friends with him.

Of course, it would be even better if the Taoist priest in front of him, who seems to have some kind of involvement with the white high-level forces, can help him and the Taiping Society in the future to explore the secrets behind the national alchemy formation formed by the American Railway.

Already...
