Chapter 506: A dignified hidden sect, when did it need to rely on this method
The scene of people mountain people sea before his eyes completely exceeded his imagination.
The spacious platform was crowded with all kinds of people: nobles and merchants in gorgeous clothes, ordinary people carrying luggage, and cultivators walking in twos and threes.
What surprised Venerable Hidden Moon even more was that he actually discovered several cultivators in the crowd who also had confused expressions; looking at their demeanor and attire, they were clearly hidden masters who had not been out in the world for a long time.
"Master, there are so many people here."
Han Shuang muttered in a low voice, his eyes looking around constantly. He had grown up in the sect since he was a child; when had he ever seen such a lively scene?
On both sides of the platform, station staff wearing unified uniforms were maintaining order.
A crisp female voice came from the amplification equipment: "The g-742 train to the Northern Territory is about to enter the station, please passengers line up in an orderly manner..."
"Senior, please follow me." The Elder led the two to the ticket window familiarly, took out a few silver coins, "Three tickets to Beishan County."
Venerable Hidden Moon looked at the small ticket, his brows furrowed: "Just a piece of paper like this?"
"This is a voucher." The Elder explained respectfully, "It has special anti-counterfeiting runes printed on it, which must be checked when boarding."
After buying the ticket, Venerable Hidden Moon thought for a moment, turned around and made a gesture to the snow-domain ice wolves.
The four majestic spirit beasts roared low, turned and ran in the direction they came from, disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye.
Because he wanted to take a new "mount", he certainly had to let these mounts go back; after all, they were too big, and ordinary trains couldn't carry them.
Those trains specifically for carrying heavy objects could still carry them.
"Woo—" With a loud whistle, a steel giant beast that was pitch black all over roared over and stopped steadily beside the platform.
Venerable Hidden Moon's pupils shrank slightly; the shape of this train was like a dormant black dragon, and the May Tian Ce Dynasty's emblem was embedded on the train head.
"Senior, our..." Before the Elder finished speaking, he saw Venerable Hidden Moon already walking toward the train, scaring him into quickly pulling the old man's sleeve, "Senior, wait! We bought tickets for the next train!"
Venerable Hidden Moon paused, a trace of embarrassment flashing on his face.
Seeing this, Han Shuang quickly smoothed things over: "Master, the train schedule has a fixed time, we just need to wait a moment."
About ten minutes later, they finally boarded the correct train.
The carriage was clean and bright, with soft cushions on the seats and large, bright windows.
Venerable Hidden Moon touched the smooth metal handrail, felt the fine patterns on it, and secretly marveled in his heart.
"Woo—"
The sound rang out again, and the train started slowly.
As the speed gradually increased, the scenery outside the window began to retreat rapidly.
The master and disciple widened their eyes in unison; this speed was actually three parts faster than their snow-domain ice wolves!
"Master, this..." Han Shuang was shocked and speechless.
One must know that raising those four ice wolves consumed a lot of the sect's resources, yet this train could carry hundreds of people flying, and it was so stable!
It used to be the symbol of a hidden sect; only a powerful sect could have these mounts.
Just like Li Chen riding a holy tiger before, everyone around would be very respectful and envious whenever he appeared.
Seeing this, the Elder smiled and explained: "This is the 'Gale' series newly developed by May Tian Ce's Ministry of Works, with a top speed of three hundred li per hour. It is said that His Majesty participated in the design himself and also carved shock-absorbing runes on the bottom of the train."
The train headed north all the way, stopping at stations every certain distance.
What surprised Venerable Hidden Moon was that some stations were built directly in front of the mountain gates of well-known sects.
Whenever they reached such a place, a large number of passengers would always get off, many of whom were young people specifically coming to apprentice and learn arts.
"Why do these sects have stations?" Venerable Hidden Moon asked thoughtfully. ===== CHAPTER 507 =====
